Cafe Con Leche: Tamara Rosenberg from the Columbus New Mexico News

8/31/2021

 
With funding from the New Mexico Local News Fund, KTAL Radio has joined a growing cohort of local news initiatives around the state. Many of them are trying to serve small communities with no local news outlets by publishing regular stories on line reflecting community concerns and covered by local writers. Tamara Rosenberg launched Columbus New Mexico News, “where the village gets its news,” when she moved to this tiny border town. She joined Nan Rubin on the phone to talk about this new venture, covering stories from the border, and her perspective on how statewide issues and media affect a village like Columbus.

All About Books:  David Lee Summers

8/27/2021

 
Picture
Astronomer and prolific science fiction and fantasy writer David Lee Summers revisited the show to chat with Lynn Moorer about Children of the Old Stars, the third book in his Space Pirates’ Legacy series.  John Mark Ellis, grandson of Captain Ellison Firebrandt, has resigned his commission as an officer of the Confederation Space Fleet and returns to his home on Nantucket on Earth to try to puzzle out the meaning of the Cluster, a mysterious group of spheres that has destroyed more than one hundred star vessels.  Ellis believes the Cluster is communicating by sending and receiving emotional signals—a notion that causes several humans to think he’s gone round the bend. Meanwhile, former National Guard Colonel Clyde McClintlock believes the Cluster is God incarnate and forms the Church of the Cluster.   Ellis seeks the advice of Richard, a wise old spermaceti whale, and G’Liat, a warrior from the planet Rd’dyggia, then returns to space as captain of a mapping vessel which allows him and his crew to seek out the Cluster.  His historian mother, Suki Firebrandt Ellis, ferrets out secrets about the Titans’ true origins.
