Why You Should See "Hidden Figures"

For a sense of the times in which the modern anti-racist civil-rights movement emerged, it can be found in the new film “Hidden Figures.” The young black women whose mathematical prowess enabled the NASA space program to succeed should make it clear how racism then and now has held back not only black Americans, but the whole country. The sound track, featuring Ray Charles, leads Otis Richmond to reflect also on how central African-American music is to modern world culture.

Kagame's Economic Mirage

In the West, there is a media-driven narrative that Paul Kagame, former RPF General, has been making great strides in making Rwanda the “Singapore of Africa”. Bill Clinton and Tony Blair have had a lot to do with circulating this myth. David Himbara has written a clear exposure of Kagame’s pretensions. In fact, Rwanda remains among the poorest, least developed countries on earth. And the mythical 'progress' hyped in Western capitals is making things worse.

Organizing Labor's Left Pole

Organizing Labors Left Pole with Chris Brooks, staff writer and organizer, "Labor Notes" As their membership and resources have continued to dwindle the question is what are the positions of and what can organized labor do to advocate for its workers against the likely assaults by the Republic juggernaut. Well talk with Chris Brooks about whether organized labor shows signs of returning to class-struggle unionism " to a no-shortcuts approach to organizing that centers labors relevance and strength on the capacity of workers themselves to take collective action in day-to-day battles with management. An injury to one is an injury to all. Chris Brooks argues that its only this approach, the tried-and-true method of the left pole within the labor movement, that will allow for there to be a renewed and a resurgent labor movement.

Out of the Woods - Show #360 - 3-4-17

This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length. Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Kate MacLeod, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul
