![]() Lisa Lucca has a roundtable chat with members of Artists of Picacho Hills (artistsofpicachohills.com) and their Holly Days for Charity Online Art Event Nov 30-12/14 2020. Paul Maxwell, Karen Conley and Larry Felhauer are her guests. I was originally not going to include Libertarian candidate Bob Walsh in the U.S. Senate election interviews we conducted recently on community radio, but my co-host Peter Goodman argued that if Walsh was on the ballot he needed to be invited.
I’m glad he did, as Walsh provided my favorite moment of all the campaign interviews this year. Randy Harris and Keith Whelpley host KTAL-LP's own MaryAnn Digman to discuss how the Covid-19 Pandemic challenges our thinking about public health, politics, fear, and the impulse to deny what we have not experienced before. Despite technical difficulties -- over remote phone links -- they bring a thoughtful perspective on dealing with the Covid-19 Pandemic and offer comparisons to the 1918 Influenza Pandemic. MaryAnn is the host of the Coronavirus Update heard Monday's at 9am.
It's been a busy week of COVD news - cases are continuing to rise at alarming rates, local hospitals are filling up and NM Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham updated her public health order with new restrictions. Host MaryAnn Digman gives her perspective on these developments and pushes back against those who claim new restrictions violate their constitutional rights.
Host Xolani Kacela's conversation with the Rev. Dr. Russell Elleven focuses on his work as a Unitarian Universalist minister who specializes in grief, death and dying, and animal chaplaincy. Elleven provides keen insights about why people struggle with dying and the benefits of confronting loss willingly and bravely. A two-time cancer survivor, Elleven shares parts of his personal journey to holistic living and how people will benefit from purposeful life-planning.
