Sunday
In the Que Tal Spotlight
Sun 7-8 AM, Rebroadcast Tuesday 2-3 PM Lisa Lucca presents Live True. A Way With Words Sun 10-11 AM, Rebroadcast Wednesday 10-11 AM People who hunt treasure with metal detectors have a lingo all their own. Canslaw means the shreds of aluminum cans left after a lawnmower ran over them. And gold dance? That’s what you do if you turn up something far more valuable than parts of an old beer can. Plus, a splendid new dictionary offers an in-depth look at the rich language of Southern Appalachia, from parts of West Virginia to Georgia. And why do television announcers greet viewers with the phrase, “Welcome Back” after a commercial break? Weren’t they the ones who went away? Plus, coinball, bacon bats and Katzensprung. CounterSpin Sunday 11-11:30 AM, Rebroadcast Friday 12-12:30 PM They say ignorance is bliss, but I know that, for myself and others, our lack of knowledge of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency will only hurt us in our response to the effects that the dealings around that stuff are having on our lives. Bartlett Naylor of the Public Citizen breaks it down for us as a financial policy advocate at their project Congress Watch. And, billionaires don’t need tax cuts; they already have a system designed to appease them. Part of the budget bill to give more to those who have everything is an effort to sell off public land for exploitation for fossil fuel companies. Ashley Nunes is public lands policy specialist at the Center for Biological Diversity. Making Contact Sunday 11:30 AM-12 PM, Rebroadcast Friday 12:30-1 PM Stories from a Queens, New York project. “Little Manila” is a Filipino enclave dating back to the 1970s, but it still struggles to find its political footing.

Juke in the Back Sunday 10-11 PM Amos Milburn was the complete package. He could play boogie-woogie piano with the best of 'em, having been influenced by the great Pete Johnson. He sang the smoky R&B ballad almost as well as his buddy Charles Brown and he could shout the blues alongside Roy Brown and Wynonie Harris.
