This week: let's join 104-year-old Cuban-American Hard Edge painter Carmen Herrera in celebrating the straight line, not just the shortest distance between two points, but the most infinitely beautiful as well.

Sure, you've seen it a million times in a million memes, but when was the last time you actually stopped to contemplate the incredible power of this Japanese ukiyo-e print? Or for that matter, the incredible power of a wave itself?

This week:
Zachary Davis's Ministry of Ideas is a small show about big ideas, presented as punchy secular sermons. This episode tackles that thorny issue, Modernity. Many think modernity is about the rise of science, the spread of democracy and capitalism, or the decline of religion or superstition. But those stories ignore the bigger picture about colonialism and race.

Listen to Ministry of Ideas at www.ministryofideas.org, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Next week:
We hit the road with Culture Hustlers.

This week:
The Constant is a podcast about our history of getting things wrong. In this episode, host Mark Chrisler introduces us to Laszio Toth, who, believing he was Jesus Christ, entered St. Peter's Basilica on May 21st, 1972 and took a hammer to Michelangelo's Pieta. What happened next would make the world wonder what separates a work of art from a forgery.
