If youd like to propose a guest or a topic for a future program, write directly to Laura at lkuhn@johncage.org.Laura Kuhn presents the first recording of John Cages Europera 5, preceded by her reading Recollections of the Premiere Performance by Yvar Mikhashoff. This recording of Europera 5 was produced by Brian Brandt and released on the Mode Records label as Mode 36 in 1995, with performers Yvar Mikhashoff, Martha Herr, Gary Burgess, Jan Williams, and Don Metz. Europera 5 is the last and most diminutive of Cages operas " preceded by Europeras 1 & 2 (1984-1987) and Europeras 3 & 4 (1991) " and was instigated by pianist Yvar Mikashoffs desire for a small, more practical and portable, and more easily performed work in the series, which had its premiere in Buffalo at the North American New Musical Festival on April 12, 1991.

Welcome to "The Radio Art Hour," a show where art is not just on the radio, but is the radio. "The Radio Art Hour" draws from the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource that aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks made by artists around the world, created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or independent transmission. Come on a journey with us as radio artists explore broadcast radio space through poetic resuscitations and playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers in this hour of radio about radio as an art form. "The Radio Art Hour" features introductions from Philip Grant and Tom Roe, and from Wave Farm Radio Art Fellows Karen Werner, Andy Stuhl, Jess Speer, and Jos Alejandro Rivera. The Conet Project's recordings of numbers radio stations serve as interstitial sounds. Go to wavefarm.org for more information about "The Radio Art Hour" and Wave Farm's Radio Art Archive.

Third Indictment

"Turn On The News" is the weekly newscast from the fictional Radio Network, with parody radio coverage of the radio and its headlines. Now with computerized news readers, and fewer meddling reporters, plus aggregated reporting, and automated music. Tune in "Turn On The News" each week for the latest news, radio art, and more from our robot reporters, making sure you hear both sides -- good and evil -- every time you "Turn On The News." It is often a mash-up of the week's news, and sometimes a radio news fantasy with song parodies and covers similar to "Dr. Demento" and comedy skits and more. The show airs at 3 p.m. Thursdays on WGXC, and also most weeks on WGRN, WRWK, KFUG, KACR, KRFP-LP, KMSW, and many other stations. Produced by Tom Roe at Wave Farm and WGXC.

Oppenheimer and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Two weeks before Hiroshima and Nagasaki Day 2023 Paul Jay and Peter Kuznick had a conversation about the just released film Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan. They acknowledged the importance of the film at a time when the risk of a nuclear war is the highest since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. But they also raised the question why it is still possible to claim that the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima saved lives by ending WWII. Thanks to Paul Jay, host and co-founder of The Analysis, for inviting Peter Kuznick, professor of history and director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University and co-author with Oliver Stone of the Showtime series, The Untold History of the United States. This excerpt from their one hour conversation can be found on YouTube under the title: Oppenheimer: U.S. Developed First Strike Weapon and Used Japan to Prove it. DATE: 7/27/2023

A deep look inside the Jenin resistance following the Israeli bombardment of the city; the nonsensical reaction of Massachusetts Congresswoman Lori Trahan

This week we take a deep look inside the Jenin resistance following the Israeli bombardment of the city. What was happening inside Jenin, on the streets, during the Israeli assault? What was the Palestinian Authority doing or not doing? We feature a review and analysis of the Jenin assault through the eyes of 4 journalists who covered it in the following Mondoweiss News Service Report. [Recording from Mondoweiss] That was a special report and analysis of the recent Israeli attack on the Best Bank town of Jenin by a team of Mondoweiss on-the-ground reporters. Before we go we want to report on the response of Massachusetts Congresswoman Lori Trahan who witnessed the complete and humiliating segregation of Palestinians under military occupation in Hebron, including children as young as her own daughters, on a Congressional junket tour she joined, sponsored by elements of the powerful Israeli Lobby. It left her in such despair that she quote wanted to “sprinkle magic dust and change their situation.” It’s a shocking statement because there is so much that a U.S. congressperson can do, other than sprinkle magic dust, when they witness such conditions. Beginning with the fact that the U.S. gives Israel over $4 billion a year to pay for the soldiers Trayhan saw occupying Hebron. That ought to be leverage! Trahan could demand that the U.S. stop blocking action against Israel at the International Criminal Court-– and point out that the 17-year-long blockade of 2 million people in Gaza is a war crime. Trahan could sign on to the congressional letter demanding that the U.S. scrutinize Israel’s routine harassment of Palestinian visitors before putting the country in the visa waiver program. Trahan could sign on to Betty McCollum’s bill to withdraw aid to Israel over its treatment of Palestinian children like the ones Trahan saw being humiliated before her eyes. Only 26 Congresspeople have signed on to that bill, not including Trayhan. Trahan could stop taking insults and lies from Benjamin Netanyahu lying down. And stop telling us that Netanyahu is “impressive” and “does not lack charisma.” Trahan could speak out about the fact that the American ambassador promotes the military forces that carry out human rights violations against Palestinians every day (and say, No that’s not “totally normal behavior” for an ambassador). And finally, Trahan could call what they witness what it is. Apartheid. The systematic legal favoring of one ethnic group over another. The major human rights groups have called it apartheid. So have countless moral leaders (including lately Ban Ki-Moon). Lori Trahan couldn’t call it apartheid because the Israel lobby group that took her to Hebron refuses to call it apartheid, and says a two-state solution is still in the offing. It is not because of Israeli extreme appropriation of Palestinian land through, among other things, rampant settlement expansion. Nearly half of Democrats say it’s apartheid. It’s time for the American public to demand more from their representatives. And we are not talking about sprinkling magic dust.

WINGS#16-23 Kenya Tax Attacks

Faced with record high foreign debt, Kenya's government passed a new finance bill to raise taxes. Part of it has been paused by the Supreme Court, but the increase in the fuel levy has now been imposed. A 100% increase in fuel tax affects everything from food to transport and beyond - devastating the nation's poorest (of whom there are many). Spontaneous demonstrations and protests, and an opposition-party-called 3 day demonstration have all been met with police brutality - despite a right to protest being in Kenya's Constitution. Interviews cover politics and logistics of demonstrating and alternative means to get the point across.

Whales

This time on The Children's Hour we are learning about the largest animal to ever live on Earth, which still roams the oceans today: whales. Once hunted to near extinction, some whales are making a comeback. While others remain critically endangered. We meet Melania Guerra, a marine biologist who researched whale songs and background noise interference in San Ignacio Lagoon, the birthing waters of Gray Whales. Melania wants to know if croaker fish songs each afternoon are limiting communication in the lagoon. Hear the story The Whale and the Snail by Julia Donaldson, published by Puffin Books, and performed by the Kids Crew. Katie also talks with a Mexican pongero, or boat driver who teaches kids and adults about the friendly whales in his backyard. Mixed with excellent music, take a trip under the sea with The Childrens Hour this week to learn about whales! This episode was produced by Katie Stone, Executive Producer and our Senior Producer Christina Stella, with help from Sean Lovelace at WRIR-fm. It was recorded at the Sunspot Solar Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and at KUNM-fm. One of our guests, Dr. Crawford MacCallum passed away in spring 2023. We are grateful for many years of collaborations. © 2023 The Childrens Hour Inc.
