Universal Storytelling

On a recent (domestic!) flight, Heers had the chance to see a rather interesting movie called the Night of the Kings, from the Ivory Coast (link below). The story it tells is fascinating and old world, but does everyone receive the story in the same way? Are other narratives constructed to fit a particular world view? Here comes a heavy dose of universal storytelling...lightly. Links: Night of the Kings - https://tinyurl.com/344s66vyWAWTAR now has a Facebook group: Why Are We Talking About (More) Rabbits?

La Tanya Hall: The Jazz Question

La Tanya Hall is a renown singer and musician who has played with some of the world’s most celebrated artists, including Steely Dan, Diana Ross, and Aretha Franklin among many others. She has also appeared as a solo artist in her own right with the American Composers Orchestra, The Denver Symphony, and the St. Louis Symphony and at jazz clubs around the world. Her new record, Say Yes (Blue Canoe Records), debuted in November of 2020. She is also a teacher, having created the first vocal jazz degree program at Oberlin Conservatory five years ago and continues to teach there as an associate professor of jazz voice. In this episode John and La Tanya sit down to talk about the roots of Jazz, and by extension, almost all modern music not classical in nature. They discuss the soul and it's reaction to the beauty found in music. And along the way there is a Light-O-Meter test and a bunch of musical insight.

KANYE!, Eugenics, and Tasty Bacon

Kanye has been saying some very interesting things of late. Comments on Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger open the door to exploring the world view of Sanger: was she a racist as Kanye claims? Or is she something else? To answer this question we go back and take a look at her speech, "My Way To Peace" (link below), examine it and use it to explore the roots of her world view (lig). And along the way we encounter the most tasty of Enlightenment thinkers, Mr. Bacon.
