This is not an antipsychiatry show, but I was on this show recently

SOUND MIND - CKCU in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I was a guest on the show on April 25th of this year and I was interviewed by Heather Bruce. I spoke about
electroshock and psychiatry. I asked Heather if she could send me a cassette copy of the tape of the show I was on in April. Heather agreed to do a copy for me.

Three months later and I am still waiting for a copy of the cassette of the show. Spoke to Heather and sent emails to her. She said the CKCU office is under major repairs and she will send me a tape, she has not forgotten me she said....after 3 months.... You would think the Sound Mind show would have the courtesy of sending me a copy of the show in a reasonable amount of time...

My advice to you is - if you are going to be on a radio show, tape the show yourself or you may end up in the same situation and I did.
