At 7:30: Legendary organizer Stewart Acuff joins Eastern Panhandle AFL-CIO Labor Council members John Case and JB Christensen, in an analysis of the founding of "Our Revolution" by Bernie Sanders. Is "Our Revolution" the right slogan, a true pointer to the essence, of the challenges facing labor and all working people in this era? Are the changes in policy and direction required serious enough to warrant that name?

Today's Poet: Rowan Ricardo Phillips

Rowan Ricardo Phillips was born (1974) and raised in New York City. He has a BA from Swarthmore College and a PhD from Brown University. He has published two award-winning full length collections of poetry: The Ground (Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 2012), which received the Whiting Award, the PEN/Osterweil Award for Poetry, and the Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award for Poetry, and Heaven (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2015) which was long-listed for the National Book Award. His collection of critical essays, When Blackness Rhymes with Blackness (Dalkey Archive Press) was published in 2010. Additionally, he he written widely about sports, especially basketball and soccer, for publications such as The New Yorker and the Paris Review. He is also a translator, one who laments the "stultifying monolingualism" of American poetry. His own work often incorporates phrases from other languages. He has taught at Columbia University, Harvard, Princeton, and at SUNY-Stony Brook. Currently, he splits his time between New York and Barcelona. 

In an interview published by PEN America, he said, "Being a human being has informed my sense of writing. For I don't find the skill to be in writing or even in reading. The real skill is in being a human being, weighing that, contemplating its arc and depths, and then making it all for better or worse sing." 

This week's featured poem is "Kingdom Come," from Heaven (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2015). 

KINGDOM COME

Not knowing the difference between Heaven
And Paradise, he called them both Heaven. 
So when he shrugged at the thought of a god
Blanched in the lights of implausible heights, 
Thumbing the armrests of a throne, that was 
Heaven. And when he stared out at the sea, 
Feeling familiar to himself at last, 
He called that Heaven, too. And nothing changed
About either Paradise or Heaven 
For it: Paradise retained its earthen
Glamour; and Heaven, because it can't stand
For anything on its own, like the color
Of rice or a bomb, was happy to play
Along, was happy just to be happy
For once, and not an excuse for mayhem.

The Eastern Panhandle Independent Community Radio (EPIC RADIO) Founded.

Listen to it anytime, on any device HERE.

Check our Blog (and Facebook and Twitter) for updates.

The Winners and Losers Radio Program, the Extended Porch, The Friday Blues show, and other WSHC classics can now be heard on IPhones, Androids, PC and Mac computers.

EPIC radio was founded August 18, 2016, as a result of being  expelled from WSHC at Shepherd University for "partisan political programming". There is no disguising the political cowardice evident in Shepherd's caving to extreme right wing threats and intimidation. The Winners and Losers Radio Program violated no law or statute -- indeed was a chief advocate of programming, including political, diversity at WSHC.  Every communication from the general counsel of Shepherd to me affirmed that. 

However, there are two ways to look at what appears a cowardly act. An observer at an early revolutionary war battlefield in North Carolina noted the "shameful spinelessness" of militia troops retreating in disarray from the sounds of British Regulars in the distance---Until he witnessed the massive arrays of Regulars rising over a hill -- then he too retired from the field! We will leave it to listeners and readers to judge whether this particular incarnation of free speech suppression was true cowardice or prudence. In either case  -- keep you're eyes on the hill --- caving to the far Right will not appease them, and, they have no observable regard for higher education at all.

In addition the dispute over "partisan political programming" was only the most recent flare up in a series of WSHC retreats from a mission of student-community programming, to just student programming. Not only that, "student programming" acquired a different meaning from student-produced shows to: play automated music students like, at least according to a commercial radio survey.

But enough of the past: Upon notice of cancellation at Shepherd, we immediately brought up an Internet Station online and were broadcasting from my home in Harpers Ferry all of last week. Though still broadcasting a limited agenda, we have not missed A SINGLE DAY. 

At our foundation meeting last Thursday, we broadened out beyond Shepherd and established the Eastern Panhandle Independent Community Radio. Beginning Wednesday,we will be taking up 116 German Street lodgings above the Four Seasons Bookstore (or is that 221B Baker St....)  -- our NEW studio! And a perfect location with our long time friends, sponsors and underwriters, Mike and Ruth Raubertas. All the community programming that was discouraged at Shepherd University is now possible! 

Other actions:

  • purchased two production computers
  • purchased cheap soundboard
  • acquired microphones and stands
  • have startup internet service
  • have startup electric, water, bathroom
  • have donated labor on several fronts
To do ths week:

  • review website
  • incorporate
  • set up accounts
  • initialize non-profit
  • prepare new studio
  • configure production internet radio station.
Week from Monday: 8/28: WE BROADCAST FROM OUR PERMANENT SHEPHERDSTOWN DIGS.

Stay tuned for more!!
