  • Is the US Electorate Ready for November (Thinking Things Through)

    All Indications Are that They Are Not.  The host for this show is Michael Sukhov.  The guest is Jay Fidell.  


    We discuss the political apathy and lack of civic education and engagement among a significant portion of youth in the U.S. today: why this is, what its causes are, and the reasons for its lack of engagement in our political systems on the local, state and national levels.  We discuss how we got here and why, the role of social and mass media in this situation, as well as the role our educational system plays in it.  Finally, we discuss the critical importance of engaging in this conversation, as well as the deeper reasons for the apparent lack of political engagement by many young people in the larger community and society.

  • Social Media is Far Too Unregulated (American Issues Take Two)

    Does the Bad Side of them Outweigh the Good.  The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tim Apicella.  The guests are Cynthia Lee Sinclair, Stephanie Dalton and Jeff Portnoy.  


    Our panel discusses the state and extraordinary growth of social media in the U.S. and the world today.  While some people, and lots of your people spend their days and lives on social media, the presence of spies, liars, hackers and conspiracists make social media confusing and dangerous to the public and our democracy.  There is essentially no regulation or regulating body charged with or able to properly regulate social media.  Can social media be trusted to regulate itself.  Should government be doing this.  What agency should be doing it.  How can government regulate social media without violating the First Amendment.

  • The Pen is Mightier than the Virus (Coronavirus and Our Mental Health)

    The Joy of Writing.  The host for this show is Ken Burtness.  The guest is Penny Pence Smith.  


    At the beginning of the pandemic, personal contact was severely curtailed and voice contact was made more difficult, but written contact was almost always available. In the quiet of isolation, people could always pick up a pencil or pen, tap on a keyboard and share thoughts and fears and dreams with the important people in their life. Faced with adversity, it was a time to talk of important things, deep feelings, and thoughts; a time to set aside social chit-chat; a time to say things too long unsaid. This talk could be factual past and current events, or imaginative of made-up stories that communicate obliquely and deeply what people want to, need to tell other people. Although restrictions have eased this, deeper communication is still very much needed.
