September 25, 2017 Debating Marijuana Legalization With Reno’s Last Holdout

Today’s Beyond Spin featured a very special guest, attorney and anti-marijuana advocate Jim Hartman. We spent an hour debating the state of Marijuana in Nevada.

September 23, 2017UNR Professor Christopher Coake Talking Higher Education and Stephen King
On this Friday’s on Beyond Spin:
We talk briefly about health care, because it continues to piss me off. We’re on day 193 with no Dean Heller sightings. One imagines him in his grimy underwear, hiding under his bed, too afraid to talk to me on the Radio, perhaps was abducted by Pennywise the Clown.
My guest following the politics is Chris Coake, professor of English at UNR and an accomplished writer himself.
We talk with Chris about UNR’s MFA program, still new enough to have that sad, old writer smell.
We’ll talk with Chris and close the loop on the Nevada Humanities Literary Crawl last week, and the burgeoning literary scene in town.
I’ll ask Chris about the declining popularity of the liberal arts in America, and we’ll revisit a topic from last week on growing distrust of higher education among conservatives.

The Show on Monday, Sept. 18th features:
My good friend, writer and podcaster Nathaniel Lloyd who is going to talk all about his podcast “Historical Blindness” which is both interesting and extremely relevant to the moment.
