A Se'nnight of Steyn: March 31 - April 6

Next month, we will celebrate the seventh birthday of The Mark Steyn Club - founded as a way for Mark's readers and listeners to support his work including his interminable fight in the war on free speech in the courts and beyond.

As we approach this membership renewal period, we thank in particular the many founding members who joined the club on day one.

The next few months will be expensive as we take on Ofcom in the King's Bench Division of the High Court in the UK whilst pursuing our appeal of an unconstitutional jury verdict in the diseased DC court system.

If your membership has lapsed, we would be honored to welcome you back - and if you have been on the fence about joining, now is the perfect time to join the battle.

~ Mark started the week with a brand new and appropriately timed Serenade Radio Song of the Week: Easter Parade,

~ On Monday, Mark ran the numbers on The Great Transition - and the west's psychologically unhealthy fetishisation of "diversity".

~ Clubland Q&A returned on Wednesday with guest host Andrew Lawton fielding questions on everything from the already-lost war on free speech and J.K. Rowling's battle against the afore-mentioned Scotland's "hate crime" law to Canadian immigration and eclipse-mania.

~ Laura Rosen Cohen returned on Thursday with her famous links from around the world, including the pending case in her own province of Ontario of a vaginoplasty patient seeking to keep his penis...

~ Part One of Mark's interview with Frank Haviland for The European Conservative appeared on Friday. Watch for Part Two with Haviland this coming week.

~ For the weekend, we had a special audio edition of The Mark Steyn Show - on the question of "a Royal Republic" with Conrad Black and Samantha Smith.

~ Later, Rick McGinnis returned with his review of the classic film Stage Door featuring Katharine Hepburn and Ginger Rogers.

A new week begins at 12:30pm North American Eastern Time/ 5:30pm in the UK at Serenade Radio with Steyn's Song of the Week.
