PlumTV’s most popular program, Duff Talk, is the talk show that combines serious discussion with a relaxed atmosphere to make for some of the most candid, spontaneous and lively conversation found anywhere on television.

Usually a roundtable discussion and occasionally a special interview, Duff Talk guests have included opinion leaders and notables such as former US Senator Bob Kerrey, former Presidential candidate Rev. Al Sharpton, comedian Al Franken, MSNBC host Monica Crowley, national radio personality John Batchelor, historian Arthur Schlessinger Jr., former Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman, publisher Mort Zuckerman, actor-activist Ron Silver and conservative pundit Tucker Carlson.


Host Patricia Duff explores topics ranging from ground-shaking events on the national political landscape, war and terrorism, dilemmas of science and values, to trends in the media and modern culture - examining them from all points of view. Duff Talk is now entering its second season.
Besides its unique style and format, Duff Talk stands out because of its loyal audience. PlumTV airs only in the most exclusive vacation destinations around the country. Seen in such exclusive communities as the Hamptons and Aspen, Plum’s viewers are the nation’s movers and shakers, the sophisticates, and the insiders as well as the year-round residents of those communities.

Former Senator Gary Hart will be interviewed regarding US security and the changes in the international scene that have followed president Bush’s bold but risky strategy in Iraq. Hart has foreseen serious threats to national security before…. “Warren Rudman was the Republican co-chairman of a counterterrorism commission, along with former Democratic senator Gary Hart of Colorado, that warned the nation in January 2001 of exactly the kind of attack that stunned Americans eight months later. . Their credentials as serious and committed activists against terrorism need no burnishing.” David Broder, Washington Post

 


Television and film roles including Alex P. Keaton and Marty McFly have made Michael J. Fox a household name and an international luminary. His starring roles in countless films and several very successful sitcoms such as Back to the Future, Family Ties, Spin City, The American President and the voice of Stuart Little have earned Fox a unique place in 20th Century popular culture. 

But Michael's contribution to the 21 first century is likely to be even more influential. Since his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease
in 1991, Michael J. Fox has fought relentlessly for more funding and research to prevent and cure this progressive degenerative condition.  He has testified before Congress and raised tens of millions of dollars for this cause. 

It is high irony that the actor with the boyish good looks would become afflicted with a disease that normally strikes the elderly, but Fox is determined to use his celebrity to press for major scientific breakthroughs that could help many generations to come.
In 2000 he launched the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research and is now one of the leading proponents of stem cell research, which is again in the news.
South Korean scientists claimed to have cloned a human cell and there is signs of progress in funding stem cell research by the Republican-dominated Congress even as President Bush threatens to veto any such bill.
