  • Will the Jan 6 Findings Reach the Country (American Issues Take Two)

    What Can be Done to Reach the Electorate.  The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tim Apicella.  The guests are Stephanie Dalton and Jeff Portnoy.  


    Our panel will discuss the effectiveness of the media during the Trump administration, and how it has done after Trump and in and after the Insurrection.  Are the Jan 6 committee and the media telling the real story and reaching the electorate or are people tired and/or resistant of the news about Trump's conspiracy.  What can the committee do now, and what can the media do now, to reach the electorate.  How can they do that, and when should they do it and important is it that they do it.  How does our historical respect for "balanced reporting" and the First Amendment play in all this.

    We look at Senate Bill 3201, a bill to lower general excise taxes paid by charities and other nonprofits, which passed the Legislature this past session.

    The Department of Taxation objected that it's possible to read the bill to make taxable types of income that has been traditionally exempt.  For example, research grants earned by the University of Hawaii.

    Is this threat bluster or substance?

  • The Spy and the Traitor by Ben Macintyre (World of Books)

    A Talk with Diane Pure on Cold War Spycraft.  The host for this show is Mihaela Stoops.  The guest is Diane Pure.  


    We start our discussion with Ben Macintyre's book, on a true espionage story during the Cold War, that truly averted an international conflagration. Oleg Gordievsky was the best asset that MI6 planted in the Soviet intelligence echelons, who risked his life providing key information to the West.  Aldrich Ames is the CIA agent that "sold" Gordievsky to the Russians, in exchange for large sums of money. We move onto current spy stories and spycraft, questioning its current scope and players. We ponder how technology and social media can be used for spying. We finish with pictures and impressions from Mihaela's recent visit to Spyscape, an experiential spy museum in New York City.
