We speak with many peace activists who are devoting their lives to creating a world free from war, violence, and environmental destruction.

Tom WalkerTom Walker, host of the show, is also President of Florida Consumer Action Network. Here's a little about Tom: Tom moved to Sarasota in 1993 after stints in Washington, D.C., and Tampa. He’s worked in computer programming since 1965, conceiving and developing new software including Internet-like tools that used “time sharing” long before the dawn of the Internet or personal computers. His users included Congress, the White House, baseball teams, construction firms, and the Smithsonian. The company was sold in 1981 to ITT.
In 1986, after meeting his wife, Cheryl, Walker started a new company: Watson & Walker, which provides expert advice for users of IBM z Systems and the z/OS operating system and which the couple still runs.
