“These new countries quickly developed national agendas, which were different — different trajectories of economic development, or lack of development in some cases, and strong authoritarian leaderships who were former communists, but who now espoused nationalist agendas,” explains John MacLeod, acting director of the Central Asian program at the London-based Institute for War and Peace Reporting.

John Macleod, coordinator of the center’s Intel Computer Clubhouse, sits on the MTC’s advisory board. In late 2008, when Eisenmenger moved to Marin from New York City, where he directed a Free Speech TV show called “Grit TV,” Macleod gave up his office for the newcomer. Now the two have hatched a plan whereby the MYC will set up a live broadcast facility so it can air live events held at the center.
Macleod said the move benefits everyone involved, providing additional programming for the public-access channels and giving kids invaluable experience. “They get trained on state of the art audio and video production equipment, and they get to give back to the community with the programming,” he said.
