Without public warning, one clear morning, 5:29:45 am, July 16, 1945, "The Trinity Test" was conducted. The above ground detonation of the first atomic bomb blanketed unsuspecting families, farms, and communities from New Mexico to New York in deadly, cancer-causing radioactive fallout. Roughly 500,000 people were impacted within a 150-mile radius of the blast.

The second question came up during this year’s Sunshine Week event, which featured an outstanding panel of local journalists talking about crime reporting. The consensus was that, while we all have the right to view any public document, the media also has a responsibility as to what it publishes. Peter and Walt talk with NMSU history professor, Ken Hammond. He will discuss his upcoming ALR presentation on the history of China from the Opium War to the Age of Reform, 1838-1978. NOTE: Dr. Hammond was included by mistake in last week’s show preview. He was always scheduled to come on this week.
The discussion expands to include NMSU Economic professor, Winnie Lee, and Joe Roach, an expert on Russia, to focus on the modern-day threats posed by China and Russia. Walt and Peter speak with state Land Commissioner, Stephanie Garcia Richard, about her office and the just-completed legislative session.
Host Greg Smith talks with Katrina Chandler about artificial intelligence and its potential threat to human-created art and humanity in general. The conversation explored the practical applications of artificial intelligence and its potential to do good or evil. The discussion also delved into the possibility of artificial intelligence competing with humans in the creation of various art forms. Will humans remain the primary creators of art, or will artificial intelligence become a significant competitor?

Stuart Kelter interviews Natalie Hodges, who is both a writer and a classical violinist. Born and raised in Denver and currently living in Boulder, Colorado, she has performed throughout Colorado and in New York, Boston, Paris, and the Italian Piedmont, as well as at the Aspen Music Festival and the Stowe Tango Music Festival. She graduated from Harvard University, where she studied English and music. Her recently published first book, a memoir entitled Uncommon Measure: A Journey Through Music, Performance, and the Science of Time, explores the intersections of music and time, lived experience as flow states and their interruption, the price and rewards of devotion to art, and coming to peace with the relinquishing, or at least transformation, of a lifelong professional ambition.
