 Lisa Lucca continues her series on Intention & Reinvention in a fascinating conversation with Beth Broday about her journey through a stellar entertainment career, choosing motherhood later in life after a challenging health crisis, and the daily Buddhist practice that has supported her reinvention time and again.
Stuart Kelter interviews Dov Waxman, a political science professor and chair of Israel studies at UCLA, whose research focuses on the conflict over Israel-Palestine, Israeli politics and foreign policy, U.S.-Israel relations, American Jewry’s relationship with Israel, Jewish politics, and anti-Semitism. He is the author of dozens of scholarly articles and four books: The Pursuit of Peace and The Crisis of Israeli Identity: Defending/Defining the Nation, published in 2006, Israel’s Palestinians: The Conflict Within, published in, 2011, Trouble in the Tribe: The American Jewish Conflict over Israel, published in 2016, and most recently, The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: What Everyone Needs to Know, published in 2019. He has also been widely published in mainstream news media and has been a frequent commentator on television and radio. Today’s interview will focus primarily on the subtleties of antisemitism in the United States, such as how to tell if and when anti-Zionism crosses the line into antisemitism. He also shares his recommendations for educational initiatives to combat antisemitism, which places less emphasis on the teaching about the Holocaust.
The New Mexico Legislature is different from anything else I’ve ever covered. Part of that is structural, with arcane rules limiting sessions to 30 or 60 days and calling for legislators to work without pay or staff. And part of it is cultural.
The time limitations mean every session is a sprint to the finish, with hundreds of bills dying a quiet death when the clock strikes noon on the final day. And yet, during each day of the session official business is temporarily set aside to make time for dancers, musicians, poets and others paying homage to our culture. Daisy and Walt talk with Joe Roach, a Russian scholar and consultant to businesses operating in Russia, about the need to continue support for Ukraine and the impact of the current impasse in Congress.
Daisy and Walt speak with local author Jim Peach about his new book, a crime mystery set in the global oil industry. Peach has been on the show before in his role as NMSU economics professor.
Walt and Daisy speak with Yolanda Diaz about her recent column in the Albuquerque Journal discussing the lack of access to treatment for uninsured cancer patients in Las Cruces.
Co-hosts Walt Rubel and Daisy Maldonado discuss issues in the news, both local and national.
 Lisa Lucca talks with her partner and KTAL host of Go with the Flow, Mark Mathias, about setting intentions, tools for manifestation, and what they are looking forward to in 2024.
