Our guest on Think Again is Zac Egan. Zac shares his perspectives on "Atheopaganism" - not a religion, but rather, an interesting spiritual practice. While atheistically denying the existence of a god or gods as actual interceding entities - Atheopaganism still welcomes and recognizes the values that the ancient gods are often known to symbolize, reflect and represent. Through personal mindfulness practices, these values can be drawn upon to encourage, strengthen, reinforce the values we want to bring more fully into our lives. Atheopaganism - a fascinating set of views.

NMSU Professor Jamie Bronstein, student Cole Vetter, and graduate student Matthew Zarakian joined us in the studio to discuss the recent “NO CONFIDENCE” votes by the Faculty Senate and Student Senate regarding the present administration. If you’ve heard of this conflict but don’t know much about it, here’s your chance to learn more. NMSU did not deign to send a guest, despite repeated and timely invitations, but we are prepared to try to ask our guests some of the questions NMSU would like to hear them asked.
Writer Shann Ray was on the phone with us to discuss his virtual reading Friday as part of NMSU’s Sociedad para las Artes Nelson-Boswell series. Ray, nothing if not versatile, was an excellent college basketball player (at Pepperdine), writes fiction, poetry, and essays, and teaches conflict resolution and forgiveness now at Gonzaga University. His The Souls of Others won the National Book Award. The Zoom ID for his reading Friday (2:30 pm) is 96432194936.
Peter Goodman and Walt Rubel discussed items in the news including NMSU football, a new COVID variant and the Supreme Court.
Plenty of good seats were still available at kickoff Saturday for the Aggies’ final game of the football season, which was unfortunate but not surprising.
Unfortunate, because New Mexico State beat the University of Massachusetts in an exciting game between two evenly matched teams played on a beautiful, sunny afternoon. Not surprising, because almost none of the previous games this season have met that criteria, except for the beautiful afternoon part. Think Again host Randy Harris welcomes Erin Moazzami to the conversation today. Erin is a Las Cruces native of Iranian and Irish descent - musician - singer - songwriter - and she shares one of her original compositions with us on the air. The conversation ranges widely from internal evaluations of personal growth and interconnection, to spirituality, hope, intergenerational curiosities, and global considerations that affect us all.
