On tonight’s show we’ll …

• Explore the history of money ... why does it even exist?

if we make it happen.

ON TONIGHT’S SHOW...

We shed light on the murky topics of drone warfare and mass surveillance. Our guest is Pratap Chatterjee, author of the non-fiction graphic novel, Verax: The True History of Whistleblowers, Drone Warfare, and Mass Surveillance. If you've ever wondered about the mechanics of mass surveillance or the real impacts of our "War of Terror," this is the show for you!

(P.S. Pratap is moving to Japan y'all. So we're honored to host one of his last appearances- for the time being! -on his former station, KPFA.)

… And, we’ll share some great music with you!

All that tonight on Full Circle. We’re your hosts tonight ...in alpha-radical order: Kenny C, Stevie G, Aria Moshirian, Mari Nakagawa & Sharon Peterson.

Stay Tuned!

Is money truly the root of all evil? Or is there something that we, collectively, haven’t quite looked at yet? Is there a way to look at money in a positive light?

Given that most of our lives are made possible dependent on our ability to earn and spend money, we’d like to take a look at the far reaching ramifications of its influence on our lives throughout the generations.

On tonight’s show:

... We’ll explore the history of the value that we place on paper currency

... We’ll contemplate the role of money in our lives and how far it’s influence reaches

... We’ll examine other possibilities of how we can view money

All that and more tonight on Full Circle.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURED ACTION

Pop-Up #Resistance Concert from Award-Winning Musicians, Emma’s Revolution with Lisa Gutkin of the Klezmatics. Thursday July 26 – 7:30pm – Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists - 1924 Cedar Street (Accessible by BART & Bus lines).

When Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade’s suicides made headlines, we got to wondering …

Given the extreme violence of our political climate, our mental health is of tremendous importance …

But - what does it mean to be mentally, emotionally healthy? Why, in fact, are we made to think our mental, emotional, and physical health are separate?  Whose idea was that? What are the cultural roots of "suicide"?  And how is suicide understood differently across cultures?

On tonight’s show:

We are joined by three guests, all healing practitioners and mental health providers -- Shauna Janz, Pinar Atesh Sinopoulos-Lloyd, and Bre Williams.

They join us to analyze our national conversation about suicide.

Together we’ll interrogate the cultural norms that frame our understanding of health and sickness.

All that and more tonight on Full Circle.
