Customer Reviews
Show on geoengineering
Excellent show. Really important info. Please do more on climate and biodiversity.
Today Obscured
A lot of the reporting on this topic for the area and question centers on the necessity of a new law. The litmus test I suppose is whether or not it is illegal for lewd and lascivious behavior in public spaces or expressly advertised for children. Adult cabaret seems to be targeting young children did not the teen/tween aged children likely to attend a Miley Cyrus concert. However, Miley Cyrus could be considered lewd and some of her performances.

Interesting show on looking into the background of a murderer. Although the victim's family is mentioned a few times, there is no evident attempt to determine how they feel about this getting a sentence of life in prison instead of death row.
