Washington-area public radio station begins airing next week a weekly magazine show dedicated to homeland security.WAMU will broadcast the hour-long program, “Homeland Security: Inside and Out,” on Wednesday evenings, the station said on its Web site.

The program is produced by Texas A&M University radio station, KAMU, and is co-hosted by David McIntyre, director of the university’s Integrative Center for Homeland Security, and retired Air Force Col. Randall Larsen, director of the Washington-based Institute for Homeland Security.

The program has been on the air since March last year in a 30-minute format, and will expand to its new length on its home broadcast on KAMU Tuesday evenings, Larsen told United Press International.

“It’s a big jump” up to an hour, he said, adding the heart of the show would continue to be Q&A sessions with leading homeland security experts and practitioners from inside and outside the Beltway.

Past guests have ranged from congressmen and federal officials to local sheriffs and emergency managers. A statement from the show’s producers on the university Web site said the new format will add a technology update segment, book reviews and a call-in session.

The co-hosts of have been friends for more than a decade, and taught homeland security programs together at the National War College as far back as the late 1990s, according to the Bryan-College Station Eagle, a Texas student newspaper.

“We bring a perspective as strategists involved in concepts,” McIntyre told the paper. “It’s not a political show. It’s not Hannity and Colmes.”
