  • Guilt Following the Trail of Anger (Coronavirus and Our Mental Health)

    Coronavirus Anger and How to Deal with it.  The hosts for this show are Ken Burtness and Diana Honeker.  


    Omicron is receding but there is little rejoicing. People are still angry, the future is still uncertain, people are still divided. As individuals we need to become aware of our anger, understand that this anger is maladaptive, and change our behavior. We know this, but change is hard. Underneath our anger is guilt and shame. These need to be normalized, and acceptance and forgiveness of both ourselves and others needs to be incorporated into our changed behavior. Diana and Ken elaborate.

  • Fed's Response to Rising Inflation (What Now America)

    Inflation is Here, Apply the Brakes, Slowly.  The host for this show is Tim Apicella.  The guests are Jay Fidell, Winston Welch, Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Karen Buzzard.  


    The Carter Admin followed a textbook case as what not to do for economy with runaway inflation. The term stagflation, high inflation and a stagnant economy was coined. Price fixing and slow to act to reality were key ingredients for the devastating effects it had upon Americans personal wealth. Once the economy was in a comatose state, only then were effective efforts implemented to reverse inflation. Enter the appointment of Federal Reserve Chairman, Paul Volcker (1979-1987). A Wall Street, cigar smoking guy, took charge and rapidly increased the Fed Overnight rate from 13% to 20% in a short year. The effect was the brutal recession of 1980-1982. The Prime rate reached 21%, 30 year fixed rate home mortgages hit 18%. By 1983 the Fed rate finally fell to 13.5%. Today, the Fed rate stands at 0%. With the last two months of CPI coming in at 6.01% and 7.0%, one might ask, What is the Fed waiting for? Hopefully, not Godot.

  • Kakaako Kool Vs Cool (Humane Architecture)

    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.
