Episode 124 with Rocker Damon Johnson…
Damon Johnson has been a triple threat…guitarist, singer, songwriter…since his early days fronting Brother Cane and scoring three #1 singles at rock radio in the 1990s.
With that band, he honed his craft with relentless touring with Van Halen, Aerosmith and Robert Plant. He’s co-written songs for Stevie Nicks, Carlos Santana, Steven Tyler, and Sammy Hagar.
Plus let’s not forget about his stint with John Waite and Alice Copper.
Big career. Active life. Extremely creative. Which he’s put to work during these Covid days. Although he and band had laid down three songs before the shutdown, the last seven months have been about keeping in touch with fans and followers with new songs and streaming live performances. He’s not letting a pandemic get in the way of making music and history.

Episode 123 with journalist Adrian Wooldridge:
Americans have died from Covid at 4 times the rate that Germans have and 50 times the rate for the Japanese or South Koreans. The disease has killed at least 20,000 New Yorkers and 6,000 Londoners—but fewer than approximately 100 people combined in the equally huge Asian cities of Seoul, Singapore, Taipei and Hong Kong. The official numbers for Mainland China are even better.
Covid has been a test that some countries passed triumphantly--and others, notably America and Britain, failed. The crisis has not only highlighted the failures of Western leadership; it has also shown how far Asia has sprung forward.
Some say that Covid may mark the end of the American era and the beginning of a new world.
So what went wrong? And can the West—and the United States—do anything to fix things?

Episode 122:
During an unprecedented time when the world truly must come together as one, Sonia Manzano, “Sesame Street’s” beloved character Maria, offers readers warmth and wit in a timely picture book that looks across cultures and generations to celebrate what unites us, wherever we come from.
Found within this unique title, Manzano’s lyrical touch combined with stunning photography of people from dozens of countries around the world — including Thailand, Egypt, France, the U.S. and countless more — explores how all of our lives are enriched by our geographic and cultural diversity. Kids will see how people around the world look, dress and spend their day, and learn that what we enjoy and value — friends, family, food, play — may sometimes look different, but deep down is the same wherever you go.
