Sunday
In the Que Tal Spotlight
Sun 7-8 AM, Rebroadcast Tuesday 2-3 PM Vinyl Noir radio drama. If you missed last Tuesday’s airing due to the Que Tal technical difficulties, here is another chance! Delving In Sunday 9-10 AM Friday 11 AM-12 PM, Rebroadcast An interview from the archive: hear from University of Utah law professor and expert in intellectual property law, Jorge Contreras, on his widely acclaimed book, The Genome Defense: Inside the Epic Legal Battle to Determine Who Owns Your DNA. A Way With Words Sun 10-11 AM, Rebroadcast Wednesday 10-11 AM In the 1920's, Americans were warned of a new danger sweeping across the country. This menace that harmed people's health, ruined minds, and threatened marriages. The culprit? The national obsession with a new form of entertainment: crossword puzzles. Plus: why are accountants referred to as bean counters? And an old-fashioned way to describe a noisy, new restaurant: You can't hear your ears in this place! Also, alcoholic, vacuum vs. sweeper, swarping and sworping, hove and heave, a quiz about funny surnames, objet trouvé, Wunderkammer, a punny school mascot, and debubiate. CounterSpin Sunday 11-11:30 AM, Rebroadcast Friday 12-12:30 PM As part of its deadly denial of food, water and medicine to Palestinian people, Israel attacked a civilian aid ship endeavoring to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, setting it on fire, injuring crewmembers, cutting off communications. The ship was called the Conscience. Millions around the world ask every day what it will take to awaken the conscience of leaders to stop the genocide of Palestinians, instead of trying to silence the outcry. Janine Jackson talks about attacks on aid delivery and media’s role with Mara Kronenfeld, executive director at UNRWA USA. Making Contact Sunday 11:30 AM-12 PM, Rebroadcast Friday 12:30-1 PM Hear Dr. Rebecca Crumpler, America’s first Black female public health pioneer The Moth Sun 1-2 PM, Rebroadcast Tuesday 5-6 PM Unexpected twists and turns of lie. Storytellers: An argument in a Russian bathhouse leads Sofija Stefanovic to an unlikely comic in a new city. A painful diagnosis brings John Mack Freeman’s family together for one last birthday party. Jon Goode’s car breaks down, he gets picked up by a stranger, and then it gets even stranger. While working as an in instructor for a wealthy teen, Andrea Walden realized that everyone has their struggles. A letter from the blood bank turns Ijeoma Oluo’s life upside down. Strange Currency Sun 2-4 PM, Rebroadcast Thursday 11 PM-1 AM Listen for selections from the new self-titled LP by Dropsonic as well as music from Unwed Sailor’s new release, Cruel Entertainment. Music They Don't Want You To Hear Sunday 6-8 PM Wed 10 PM-12 AM, Rebroadcast A number of singer songwriters comment on the current situation decrying he who would be king, the rot in our political system and why it matters. We also celebrate Utah Phillips 90th birthday and seek sanctuary with Carrie Newcomer, Dion, Rebecca Folsom, and Ronnie Cox. 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. Milburn's delivery was indeed a hit with the public as his Aladdin Records releases spawned four #1 R&B records and a total of 16 charting singles (three of them double-sided hits). Matt The Cat spins Milburn's great Aladdin releases from 1950 to '56.

And MIT physicist Alan Lightman explains why a little unstructured time to goof off every day is good for you. Alternative Radio Monday 12-1 PM Authoritarianism can’t happen here, you say. Dissent is being criminalized. People are being arrested without due process. When Trump was asked if it was his job to uphold the Constitution, he said, “I don’t know.” Claudia de la Cruz says, “Trump and his cabinet full of billionaires are waging an all-out war on our communities. From slashing thousands of jobs to massively defunding critical programs that many working-class people rely on to survive. At this critical moment, we can’t simply lie down and allow his administration to roll back all the rights that our people’s movements have won. Global Village Monday 3-4 PM Chris Heim highlights African, and especially South African, pianists.

An 82-year-old seeks a more positive term to describe how she feels about her age. And: a linguist helps solve a famous kidnapping case, using the vocabulary and spelling in a ransom note. Plus, old library books often contain inscriptions and other notes scribbled in the margins. A new book details an effort to reveal and preserve this "shadow archive" of the relationship between readers and the books they love. Plus, bus bunching, devil strip, fiddlesticks, scooter pooping vs. scooter-tooting. Open To Debate Wednesday 5-6 PM The U.S. is betting that export controls can check China’s technological ambitions around semiconductor chips that power everything from natural language processing to autonomous weapons. But would they work? Those who argue yes say that constraints could keep Chinese tech firms reliant on U.S. innovation. Those who argue no say the Chinese have the means to turn pressure into momentum for semiconductor independence. Now we debate: Can the U.S. Outpace China in AI Through Chip Controls? Afropop Worldwide Wednesday 7-8 PM In the last few years, a small network of DJs in the suburbs of Lisbon, Portugal has been consistently producing some of the world’s best dance music. The children of African immigrants, these young musicians have combined a hemisphere of musical influences and distilled them down into a single astonishing style. Go on a journey to Lisbon, a city facing both the sea and 600 years of its own history to African club nights, hang out with obsessive record collectors, learn how to dance kizomba, and visit the projects that have produced a musical revolution. |
