You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Uncommon Knowledge''''' is a current affairs show hosted by [[Peter Robinson (speechwriter)|Peter Robinson]] and produced by the [[Hoover Institution]], where Peter Robinson is a [[fellow]]. It currently is funded by several foundations and organizations. Uploads of the program regularly appear online on websites such as ''[[National Review Online]]'' and [[YouTube]].

''Uncommon Knowledge'' was originally a weekly 30-minute TV show co-produced and presented by [[San Jose, California]], [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] member station [[KQEH|KTEH]] from 1996 to 2005. It was distributed first by [[American Public Television]] and later by [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] to [[public television]] stations throughout the [[United States]] and internationally by [[NPR]] Worldwide.

== Revival ==
In 2006 and 2007, the [[Hoover Institution]] produced a sporadic series of for-web interviews involving Peter Robinson called ''Directors' Forum Video''.  In July 2007, these ''Directors' Forum Video'' webcasts were rebranded under the old ''Uncommon Knowledge'' moniker, starting with the newly produced episode "Land of Lincoln".

Starting in 2008, each of these new webcasts premieres on ''[[National Review Online]]'' in five parts throughout the week before being published on the Hoover Institution website, [[Facebook]], [[YouTube]], and other social media outlets. In addition, the Hoover Institution posts upcoming episodes as a podcast titled ''Uncommon Knowledge'', which can be downloaded from [[iTunes]] or as  part of the [[Hoover Institution]] [[iTunes U]] download page. New episodes are published every other week. Viewers are permitted to suggest guests and ask questions of upcoming guests to be selected by the ''Uncommon Knowledge'' team, and/or Robinson, the interviewer-host. The viewers whose questions are selected often win the books or publications of the guests being interviewed.

The show interacts with viewers on social media such as [[Facebook]], [[Twitter]], and [[Ricochet (website)|Ricochet]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://ricochet.com|title=ricochet.com|work=Ricochet|access-date=5 October 2014))</ref>

== Format ==
===Style===
Before its transition into a contiguous program in 2008, the show would typically invite up to three guests with opposing points of view on controversial issues and/or matters of international/public policy to debate each other on the air. Robinson moderated and posited [[devil's advocate]]–type arguments, recited quotations to elicit the perspectives of his guests, and questioned the guests. After several segments the show concluded with Robinson asking the guests to predict what the future holds for the issue in question. He would also invite individual guests for one-on-one interviews, using much of the same interview style.

In its rebirth transition from 2007-2008, and then in its reinstatement in 2008, it adopted the style of a more classic interview program, with up to three guests, but not ones designed to disagree or debate. Rather, Robinson finds like-minded or intellectually connected guests to create a more basic interview style, employing the same tactics as before to elicit the whole of a singular perspective, with guests who disagree, but not in the radically opposing sides format the program had previously favored. Primarily, however, departing from the pre-2008 style, Robinson mostly invites single guests to do one-on-one interviews and discuss the opinions and ideas of the individual guest.

===Setting===
Before the 2007-2008 transition, and the 2008 rebirth, the background for the program was that of a definitive setting, a room filled with historical and unusual objects, faded artifacts and items, antique furniture, etc., surrounding the wooden interview table. During the '07-'08 revival period, as well as the permanent revival in 2008, the background moved to the classic style interview program background with a plain black background, wooden table, chairs, and carpet, with some brief experimentation around that setup. 

Archives of streaming video, transcripts, and [[MP3]] audio are available from the website for most episodes after 2000. For previous years, transcripts are available. Some videotapes of these episodes have been recovered and are being posted on [[YouTube]] under the account names  "UKHoover"<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/user/UKHoover|title=UKHoover|work=YouTube|access-date=5 October 2014))</ref> and "HooverInstitution."<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/user/HooverInstitution|title=HooverInstitution|work=YouTube|access-date=5 October 2014))</ref>
