Several years ago, when I was covering state government from Santa Fe, I attended the annual briefing given to reporters prior to the upcoming wildfire season.
After going over the current conditions and expectations for the coming months, the discussion turned to reporters’ safety. We were warned about the unpredictable nature of fire and the importance of following their directions at all times. Mark Lusk discusses authoritarian nationalism and his book, Decolonized Approaches to Civil Rights and Social Work.
Co-hosts Walt Rubel and Peter Goodman discuss pertinent issues including the election schedule, the imminent Presidential debate, and other issues of interest.
Greg’s guests will be Dennis and Jeff Milligan-Lujan, Laura Williams, and Cat Jonet. Dennis and Jeff have been hosting a range of gallery shows in their home for a number of years, and Dennis is a multifaceted artist in his own right. Laura and Cat are deeply involved in making FBAFF and Zine Fest happen in upcoming days. The hour promises to be informative and entertaining.
A conversation springboarding from a consideration of the Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry's mandate that the 10 Commandments be posted in every public-school classroom in Louisiana. Keith Whelpley, Jack Turney, and Randy Harris launch into a rollicking, fast-paced exploration of religion, politics, and history. With some seriousness and some humor, we explore our current, past and potential future of relationships between religion, government and society. Fun and thought provoking.
 As part of her LGBTQ Families Series for Pride Month, Lisa Lucca has a poignant conversation with Emma Holden, a Las Cruces single mom of three about her trans child, Christina, and their journey as a family in our community.
Expectations were sky high in 2005 when British entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson inked a 20-year lease on a new spaceport that had yet to be built in Southern New Mexico.
The lease called for Virgin Galactic to pay $1 million a year for the first five years, with payments after that dependent on the company’s success in developing an industry for space tourism. Bobbie Greene, local NAACP president and Lauretta King, museum exhibit curator, discuss Juneteenth and the NAACP.
