Stuart Kelter interviews Daniel Kleinman -- Associate Provost for Graduate Affairs and Professor of Sociology at Boston University -- about his book, Vanishing Bees, co-authored with Sainath Suryanarayanan. The book explores the vested interests -- beekeepers, growers, academic scientists, agrochemical companies, and regulatory agencies -- which not only have competing interests, but also different methods and biases for acquiring knowledge about the health of bee colonies.

Next week's guest in Carl McColman, author of the Eternal Heart and many other books on mysticism. NO MÁS, is an original radio play that tells the story of Carmelita Torres and the almost forgotten bath riots of El Paso 100 years ago. NO MÁS is a dramatic story of resistance, activism, and sisterhood. Acted by members of the Lustre Theater, the play is introduced by playwright Meagan O'Toole-Pitts.
In 1917, the mayor of El Paso and the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service set up what they called The El Paso Disinfection Plant at the Santa Fe Bridge, allegedly to combat the disease typhus. It required all immigrants coming from Juarez to file through the facility and strip naked, where they were doused with kerosene, gasoline, sulfuric acid, and the notorious chemical Zyklon B, the toxic gas later used in the Nazi death camps. The workers, both men and women, were subjected to this treatment every day before they could enter El Paso for their daily jobs. Carmelita Torres, a young housekeeper, refused to submit to this humiliating procedure, and led more than 200 women in a sit down action in front of the city's trolleys, which shut down the city for 3 days. Originally broadcast on KTAL-LP on September 19, 2020.  Lisa Lucca interviews Lori Sokol author of She Is Me: How Women Will Save the World (sheismebook.com) and Exec. Director of womensenews.org.
Walt Rubel and Peter Goodman host two separate candidate forums: from 8-9 New Mexico House District 39 candidates Rudolpho Martinez (the incumbent) and challenger Luis Terrazas; from 9-10 a.m. State Sen. Doreen Gallegos and challenger John Foreman about their race in N.M. Senate Dist. 52.
In 2002, Steve Pearce beat John Arthur Smith in what I believe was the most important election in southern New Mexico of the past two decades. The seat in Congress that both men were running for was open for the first time since 1980. That was the year Harold Runnels died three months before the election. Runnels was so firmly entrenched that Republicans hadn’t even planned to contest him. Joe Skeen launched a write-in campaign to win the seat, then went on to hold it for 11 terms. Runnels, a Democrat, and Skeen, a Republican, combined to hold the seat from 1970 until that election in 2002. It seemed clear that voters in the district were more loyal to the person than the party. I figured whoever won that year would be able to settle in. Pearce served for eight terms, and would probably be the incumbent today if not for his ambition for other offices.
Dolores Gomez, MD is one of the CORE Faculty at our own Family Medicine Residency Program and also the Chief Medical Officer of Memorial Medical Center. Dr. Gomez came to Las Cruces in high school, went to NMSU for her undergraduate degree and to UNM for medical school. She has received extra training in Family Medicine in Phoenix.
Dr. Gomez shared her experiences with taking care of patients in Las Cruces with COVID 19. Currently most of the patients are between 20-59. The symptoms have moved from primarily respiratory to more debilitating fatigue and gastrointestinal issues. The health care resources in southern NM have met the patient needs and are prepared for an increase in patients over the next months. Stuart Kelter interviews Tom Russell, a retired Child Protective Services investigator and foster care worker in the state of Wisconsin. Although the interview does not go into graphic detail about child abuse, it may nevertheless be upsetting to some. Listener discretion is advised.
Guest host Rev. Carolyn Wilkins, filling in for Rev. Xolani Kacela who is away, interviews the Rev. Lon E. Woods, who is a minister, author and attorney in Dallas, who discusses his faith and how the legal system intersects with religion in these turbulent times.
 Award-winning poet, author, and rancher Deanna Dickinson McCall talked with Lynn Moorer about her book of poetry and short stories, Mustang Spring, which is populated with characters who are at once tough, disciplined, fallible, vulnerable, and lucky. Having ranched more than sixty years, beginning as a child with her family in California, then Nevada, Idaho, and New Mexico, McCall explained that her writing reflects the realities of women’s tenacity, endurance, and strength of character in ranching and their fight to preserve their livelihood which reveres land and livestock.
