  • Congress, No Stocks for You (What Now America)

    A Ban on all Stock Trading is Proposed.  The host for this show is Tim Apicella.  The guests are Jay Fidell, Winston Welch, Karen Buzzard and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.  


    The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act was passed in 2012 with overwhelming bipartisan support: Senate 96-3, House 417-3. Congress hasn't agreed on much since then. Perhaps the criminal conviction of lobbyist Jack Abramoff had something to due with the new law. Since passage, numerous members of congress have found themselves in violation of the law- full transparency and timely disclosure of stock trades made by members. In the past months, 57 members - both GOP and Democrats - have been identified as in violation of the law. Reasons for the absence of filings for stock trading includes: 1. Ignorance of the law 2. Clerical errors 3. Accountant mistakes. The push to enact a new law would prohibit all stock activity trading for all members of congress and spouses. A bold new law which appears to have support from both sides of the isle. Cleaning up the corruption of congress is rare and welcomed. But why now? The panel tackles this issue and the associated questions.

  • Kakaako Kool Vs Cool Vol 2 (Humane Architecture)vvv

    Howard Hughes’s Ko'ula Close to Completion.  The hosts for this show are Martin Despang and DeSoto Brown.  The guest is Ronald Lindgren.  


    About 2 ½ years ago in October 2019 the Human[e] Architecture show Jeanne’s Jungle Juggling looked at architect Studio Gang’s proposed Howard Hughes Corporation highrise in Honolulu’s Kakaako on paper. In the meanwhile, the luxury residential tower is close to completion, so this show is revisiting and reevaluating the project looking how and if it lives up to its goals as of being inspired by the movement of the sugar cane plant.
