Fordham Conversations episodes

  • War and the Media

    With support for the war in Iraq

    severely waning and a new democratic legislature in power, the stories that we
    hear from Washington
    and in the media might be different ones this year than they have been for the
    last few. We talk to to author and Fordham professor Robin Anderson about the
    stories we've been telling about this war, and the stories we tell about
    others. Her new book is "A Century of Media, A Century of War."

  • Victor Navasky
    With the end of the year approaching, and with it about a million lists
    of the superlatives of 2006, we'll hear from the former publisher of
    another superlative--The Nation, America's oldest weekly magazine. He's
    written a memoir of his time at The Nation. Also, a few of our favorite
    things. --Aired 12/23/2006

  • The Simpsons

    Sure, their show's been running longer than any TV sitcom

    ever has. But that's not the only reason the Simpsons might be the most
    successful family ever to wrap things up in 23 minutes or less. We talk to
    Fordham communication and media studies professor Jonathan Gray about the
    Simpsons and how they've managed to change the way that people all over the
    world look at TV, and America. --Aired 1/6/2007

  • Magis Theatre Company
    The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
    was a huge blockbuster and introduced many to CS Lewis as a writer of adventure
    stories. But an off-off-broadway production is taking a stab at some of Lewis'
    less child-friendly work. We talk to Magis artistic director, Fordham
    artist-in-residence, and Jesuit Priest, George Drance. --Aired 1/13/2007
