WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- A Washington-area public radio station  begins airing next week a weekly magazine show dedicated to homeland  security. 
                Beginning January 10, WAMU will broadcast the hour-long program,  "Homeland Security: Inside and Out," on Wednesday evenings at 10:00  PM, 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 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."
