1. Philosophy and Nazism:  (from the London School of Economics) -



Speaker(s): Dr Joseph Cohen, Professor Simona Forti, Dr Brian Klug | Nazism pervaded every level of German society, and philosophers were not immune. While much scholarship has understandably focused on recriminations of key figures, tonight's panel reflect on some broader questions raised: Can philosophy help us understand the nature of evil? And does thinking philosophically really help us live better lives? Joseph Cohen is a Lecturer in Continental Philosophy, University College Dublin. Simona Forti is Professor of Philosophy, University of Piedmont and Visiting Professor of Philosophy, The New School for Social Research, New York. Brian Klug is Senior Research Fellow in Philosophy, St Benet's Hall, University of Oxford. Dr Peter Dennis is a Fellow, Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method, LSE and Forum for European Philosophy Fellow. The Forum for European Philosophy (@ForumPhilosophy) is an educational charity that organises a full and varied programme of philosophy and interdisciplinary events in the UK.

2. Belabored Dissent -- College Dreams and College Schemes, with Tressie McMillan Cottom


What’s a college degree worth to you? With so many students getting drowned in debt for a taxpayer-funded sham diploma, how has the massive for-profit college industry managed to capitalize on Americans’ high hopes of achieving middle-class “credentials”? In her new book, Lower Ed, sociologist Tressie McMillan Cottom explores the political drivers of for-profit higher education, and Wall Street’s entanglement with an unregulated academic marketplace that exploits struggling students’ aspirations. Cottom spoke with Sarah Jaffe at a discussion hosted by the New America Foundation about the culture and politics of commercialized college in the Age of Trump.

EPIC Radio is NOW Enlighten Radio

Friends

EPIC Radio is now Enlighten Radio. There was too much confusion ...

I can't get no relief

... between EPIC and our domain name -- enlightenradio.org, and recent polls of hosts and listeners leaned strongly toward Enlighten. Turns out there are quite a few "EPIC Radio" stations around the country, and on the Internet, and google searches were not coming up with ours first :)

It sounds best when you pause between Enlighten and Radio when saying it. It's almost a Quaker moment.

cheers

The ARe You Crazy Show, Resistance Radio, Food! Food!

EPIC Radio--lineup for 22 March 2017



Here is our Player





  •  7:30 - 9:00  AM: The Are You Crazy Show -- Health Care Update, Dr Zakee McGill

  •  11:00 - Noon: Resistance Radio - with Stewart Acuff. This morning at 10 eastern Guest, immigration activist and expert, Ana Avendano


Noon -- Food Food Food -- shows are approximately 1 hour long


  1. The Nosh Show: Fast and Junk Food: The Hostess with the Mostest.  "This is usually the part where we tell you what we talk about during the episode. Um, well, for this episode we don't really want to do that because that would ruin the surprise. Ugh. Now saying there's a surprise kind of ruins the surprise. Actually, I don't really think many of you read this, so I think we're okay."
  2. Gastropod: Hacking taste   Taste is the oldest of our five senses, and yet perhaps the least understood. It’s far more complicated than salty versus sweet: new research is dramatically expanding our knowledge of taste, showing that it’s intimately connected to obesity, mood, immunity, and more. In this episode, we get into the science of how taste works, why we taste what we do, and what makes supertasters unique. And finally, we hack our taste buds—for fun, but, in the future, maybe for health, too.
  3.  Three episodes of the Splendid Table: The President's Kitchen Table, The Dirt Cure, and Cookbooks, Food Cities and politics

The Poetry Show -- March 20, 2017 -- Cindy Hunter Morgan

This Weeks Poet: Cindy Hunter Morgan

our player



Cindy Hunter Morgan grew up in Michigan and states that although she has traveled widely, her roots are there. Her undergraduate degree is from Albion College in Michigan, and she also has a  Masters in Fine Arts from Lesley University in Massachusetts. Additionally, she studied for a time at the University of Stirling in Scotland. For a decade, she directed publicity for the Grand Rapids Symphony and, later, the Lansing Symphony Orchestra. She currently teaches creative writing and book arts at Michigan State University. She recently won the Moveen Prize, awarded by a foundation created by writer Thomas Lynch, which will allow her to spend a month in County Clare, Ireland, to focus on her writing. She has published two chapbooks: The Sultan, The Skater, The Bicycle Maker, winner of The Ledge 2011 Poetry Chapbook Award (Ledge Press, 2012), and Apple Season, chosen by Shane McCrae as the winner of the Mississippi Valley Poetry Competition. Her debut full length collection, Harborless, was just released this month by Wayne State University Press. The poems in Harborless are part historical and part imaginative renditions of shipwrecks on the Great Lakes. Cindy Hunter Morgan's connection to the Great Lakes runs deep. She spent summers swimming in Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, and Lake Huron when she was growing up, and her great-grandfather sailed the lakes on a U.S. Corps of Engineers Tug. 

Answering a question about one of the poems in her first chapbook, she replied, "I hope this poem helps people travel outside of themselves and deeper into themselves. Of course, I hope that for all poems." That is a lofty, if paradoxical, goal for poetry. This week's featured poem is the final poem in her latest, just released collection, Harborless (Wayne State University Press, 2017), and is one of the few poems in the book that does not focus on a specific shipwreck. Instead, it addresses tragedy indirectly, by examining language. 

DECKHAND: WORD THEORY

All of those vocabulary tests in school
meant nothing. Everything
was indeterminate. Take collide
those two ll's parallel, but no, 
not parallel, that is the problem, 
parallel only in word, not world, 
not fog, not gale. In the lake, 
direct impact, violent crash. 
Hard c, moment of contact. 
ide, a chemical made up of two
or more elements, evidence
of a binary world, floating 
versus not floating. Ide, end 
of pride, end of aide.

Take sink, no, not the water basin
attached to a wall, porcelain noun. 
Not even the infinite infinitives, 
to descend, to weaken, to disappoint, 
to drill, to dig, to defeat. 
Those constructions can't get this right. 
Listen to the s, air going out
of an inflatable raft, think about
in, in water, in ice, reconnect
the s, sink comes after sin,
hear the k, hard sound, 
caw of gulls circling a wreck.

The Poetry Show Featuring Sinead Morrisey


Award-winning poet Sinéad Morrissey was born on April 24, 1972 in Portadown, County Armagh, Northern Ireland and was raised in Belfast. She earned a BA and a PhD from Trinity College, Dublin. She spent the next several years teaching and traveling abroad, spending time in Japan and New Zealand before returning to Northern Ireland to teach  at Queen's University, Belfast. In 2016 she was appointed as Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Newcastle. She has published five collections of poetry all by Carcanet Press: There Was Fire in Vancouver (1996), Between Here and There (2001), The State of the Prisons (2005), Through the Square Window (2009) and Parallax (2013), which won the coveted T. S. Eliot Prize, awarded to the best new collection of poetry written in English and published either in the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland. Her subject matter ranges widely. Parallax, which includes poems selected from previous collections as well new verse, contains long poems about prison reform and the debt crisis in Europe. Among her other awards are first place in the 2007 British National Poetry Competition for her poem, "Through the Square Window," the 2005 Michael Hartnett Poetry Prize  for The State of the Prisons, and a Lannan Foundation Fellowship. She has also served as poet laureate of the city of Belfast. 

This week's featured poem, "Reading the Greats," presents an unique take on reading great literature, risk, and failure.  

READING THE GREATS

Is it for their failures that I love them? 
Ignoring the regulation of Selected Poems
with everything in that should be in—
all belted & buttoned & shining—
I opt instead for the omnivorous Completes
For their froth. Their spite. For avoidable mistakes:
Larkin on Empire, say or Plath on Aunts. 

The thrill of when they dip, trip up, run out
of things to write about before they start, 
is the consolation of watching 
a seascape suddenly drained and stinking
of flies & fisheads & bladderwrack. 
And the tide impossibly distant. And no way back.
Yes, I love them for that.

11:30  Best of the Left

1. A review of foreign policy blunders --we look at how Trump is currently running his foreign policy programs and where he’s planning to take it.


2. C-SPAN

  •  Washington Today -- 3/6/17 -- Today's Washington Today looks at a new Executive Order signed by President Trump on immigration, with an interview from David Nakamura of The Washington Post. Plus, an interview with Alex Isenstadt on President Trump's Tweets over the weekend, and a decision today by the Supreme Court on a case involving a transgender student in Virginia.
  •  Washington Today -- 3-02-17 Washington Today looks at remarks by Attorney General Jeff Sessions about interactions with the Russian Ambassador, with reaction from President Trump and Capitol Hill. Plus, more on the Affordable Care Act and the Environmental Protection Agency.
  •  Every Friday C-SPAN’s The Sidebar podcast goes beyond the headlines of the stories shaping the conversation in Washington and across the country with interviews that provide background and context to the issues and events dominating the news cycle. Our guest this week is Jose Antonio Vargas, journalist, filmmaker, immigration rights activist, and founder of the non-profit group Define American. We talked with him about how the media covers the immigration issue, the rapidly changing look of immigration in the United States, President Trump's immigration policy, and why he went public with his undocumented status in 2011.

3. Radio Project Front Page


  • Divide and Rule Remains the American Game in Syria -- We are learning that despite the hysterical Washington debates and a dyspeptic main stream media, the great imperialist project to secure American hegemony over the world rolls on unabated. And the Syria regime change project began the moment the anti-colonial Syrian government set its goals of Arab national sovereignty and a socialist economy.
  •  Taylor Report: “I Am Not Your Negro” Norman Otis Richmond: See This Film!, Segment 1 --  James Baldwin intended to write a book about the assassinations of Black leaders, Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King, and Malcom X to be titled: Remember This House, but the task was never completed. With this film, director Raoul Peck attempts to convey the message intended by Baldwin. Norman Otis Richmond makes it clear “I Am Not Your Negro” has to be seen. Baldwin’s powerful exposure of American racism grows stronger by the year.

Here is our player



This week's Poet is Rachel Hadas



Poet, translator, essayist, and professor, Rachel Hadas was born in New York City on November 8, 1948. Her father, who died when she was seventeen years old, was a noted classics scholar at Columbia University. She also studied classics, graduating from Radcliffe College with a B.A. in 1969. She then spent four years living in Greece before entering graduate school. She studied poetry at Johns Hopkins University (M.A.) and comparative literature at Princeton University (PhD.). In 1981, she joined the faculty of Rutgers University at Newark, where she is currently Board of Governors Professor of English. She has published widely, both poetry and prose, as well as editing anthologies. Among her books of poetry are Halfway Down the Hall: New and Selected Poems (Wesleyan University Press, 1998), The River of Forgetfulness (David Robert Books, 2006), The Golden Road (TriQuarterly Books, 2012) and, most recently, Questions in the Vestibule (TriQuarterly Books/Northwestern University Press, 2016). She also published prose, including The Double Legacy: Reflections on a Pair of Deaths and Strange Relation: A Memoir of Marriage, Dementia and Poetry. The latter book concerns her husband's diagnosis of a neurodegenerative disease at age 61 in 2004, a topic she also wrote about in poetry, some of which is contained in the memoir. Her numerous awards include a Guggenheim Foundation fellowship, the O. B. Hardison Award from the Folger Shakespeare Library, and an Award in Literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.

The week's featured poem, "Balancing," is from her most recent collection of poems, Questions in the Vestibule (TriQuarterly Books/ Northwestern University Press, 2016). It is a formal poem, a villanelle, but instead of repeating whole lines, she just repeats the ending phrases.

BALANCING

To land in a story whose end I do not know—
as if we ever saw to any end—
I try to keep my balance, high and low.

The sliver of this moon, discreet and new—
waxing? Waning? I forget. They blend
in a sky whose limits we don't know.

Out of the silk and velvet bedroom now
to jagged crevices, uneven land
I stagger, lurching between high and low.

One foot. The other. Careful where I go.
Where am I going? I cannot pretend
to map this new terrain. Nor do I know

just what meanders led me here to you,
oasis or mirage. Beloved friend,
a shadow looms. Now something's swooping low,

a storm of wings exploding in the blue.
Light is pouring through a mortal wound.
I am afraid to see. I want to know.
I clutch at uprights, reeling, high and low.

Philosophy

Ockham trims away the unnecessary entities posited by other scholastics.

2.  Confucious on Virtuous Conduct (Part 1)

On the Analects, compiled after 479 BCE. How should we act? What's the relation between ethics and politics? Can a bunch of aphorisms written in the distant past for an unapologetically hierarchical culture emphasizing traditional rituals actually give us relevant, welcome advice on these matters? Are we even in a position to determine the meaning of these sayings? With guest Tzuchien Tho.
