A Way With Words Sunday 10-11 AM, Rebroadcast Wednesday 10-11 AM If you take up texting and social media late in life, there's a lot to learn! A 20-something wants advice getting her dad up to speed on memes, Instagram, and animated images. Plus, when you're on a long road trip, what do you call that one driver you keep passing on the freeway, or who sets the pace for your car mile after mile? Road buddy? Some call them Follow Johns. Plus, the linguistic reason why some people say "SANG-wich" instead of "SAND-wich." It's a mouthful -- literally! And: thalweg, stick season, quare, jimmycane, the many Spanish words that derive from the Nahuatl language CounterSpin Sunday 11-11:30 AM Friday 12-12:30 PM, Rebroadcast Headlines on January 15: “North Minneapolis ICE shooting: Children Hospitalized After Flash Bang, Tear Gas Hits Van.” And from the official Homeland Security website: “ICE Announced the Arrest of More Worst of the Worst Criminal Illegal Aliens From Across the Country, Including Those Convicted of First-Degree Rape of a Child, Homicide and Arson.” So did the hospitalized children commit the rapes, homicides and arson? Is that why they were attacked? Or are we supposed to just muddle it all together, so that we now think “immigration equals crime”? Hear from Setareh Ghandehari, advocacy director at Detention Watch Network. Making Contact Sunday 11:30 AM-12 PM, Rebroadcast Friday 12:30-1 PM In the Shadow of the Wall: From Gaza to Arizona.

Strange Currency Sunday 2-4 PM Between early 1967 and 1968 Brian Wilson set to work on what promised to be the most ambitious project he’d undertaken for The Beach Boys yet. Conceived as a concept record and ultimately titled Smile, the record was to explore themes of youth and American life. It also happened to coincide with some of the most difficult times in the composer’s personal life and was ultimately shelved with speculation about what the record might have sounded like growing in subsequent decades. In 2004, Wilson released an album titled Brian Wilson Presents Smile, a series of all-new recordings of material Wilson had written with collaborator Van Dyke Parks. Music They Don't Want You To Hear Sunday 6-8 PM Wed 10 PM-12 AM, Rebroadcast In celebration of Martin Luther King Day, the Roadrunner has songs for Dr. King, Rosa Parks and an interview with the organizer of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Jo Ann Robinson plus new music from Eliza Gilkyson, Grant Peeples, Linda Sussman and Dave Miller. Juke In The Back Sunday 10-11 PM George Goldner is said to have had the "golden ear" for hit records and songwriter Jerry Leiber even complimented his talent for picking hit songs by saying that Goldner had, "the musical taste of a fourteen-year-old-girl." Matt the Cat take a close look at Goldner's first R&B label, which helped put Rock n' Roll on the musical map with the 1953 smash by New York vocal group, The Crows. From there, Goldner signed The Wrens, The Valentines, The Joytones, The Heartbeats, The Harptones and other NY groups that are now considered vocal group royalty. Spotlighting Rama Records. Monday
