Memories: Songs written, performed and chosen by women Airs Friday, April 8, at 11 p.m. Memories producer and host, Bernadette Cahill wrote to women all over early in 2006 asking for suggestions of "women's protest songs" for International Women's Day (March 8 every year). Correspondents loved the idea, and the overwhelming response resulted in two 59-minute editions of "Memories" devoted to songs written, performed and chosen by women. This show is an updated version for 2007 of the second of those two editions of "Memories" from 2006 -- the one of the two that includes commentary on the women's movement. Louisiana Public Square: Justice on Hold - Louisiana‟s Public Defender Shortage Airs Sunday, April 3, at 6 p.m. If you‟re currently accused of a crime in Louisiana but can‟t afford to hire an attorney, you may literally be “Defense-less.” Public Defenders Offices in twelve Louisiana districts say they don‟t have the resources to keep up with the demand for court-appointed attorneys. Six districts have put suspects on waiting lists for counsel. Shakespeare in American Life: Shakespeare Becomes American Airs Sunday, April 10, at 6 p.m. Shakespeare Becomes American: Shakespeare in Performance explores how American Shakespeare has been shaped by the American experience. From the very beginning, Americans have sought to make Shakespeare an honorary citizen. Whether we have succeeded in that or not, one thing is clear. On the stage, within the realm of performance Americans have certainly made Shakespeare our own, bringing to the performance of Shakespeare American passion, American language and American innovation. Women in Jazz Airs Friday, April 8, at 10 p.m. This is a tribute to a few of the more influential women who were instrumental in the formation of early jazz. Lillian "Lil" Hardin Armstrong, Marian McPartland, Mary Lou Williams and Valaida Snow (Queen of the Trumpet) are the featured artists. Mary Osborne: Queen of the Jazz Guitar Airs Friday, April 8, at 9 p.m. If you're searching the pages and records of jazz history for early and important women instrumentalists, then stop and take note any time you come across the name of Mary Osborne. She started out as a little girl playing violin and guitar on the radio in Depression-era Minot, North Dakota, listening to jazz broadcasts on the radio out of Chicago--then one night she went to a club and heard Charlie Christian play, and her path as a jazz guitarist was set. Health Matters: Anesthesia Airs Thursday, April 7, at 6 p.m. When anesthesia is required for a procedure, a patient may have questions and concerns. Tune in for Health Matters, Thursday at 6 p.m. Host Dr. Randall Brewer will be joined by Dr. Charles Fox III, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology; Dr. Debbie Chandler, Associate Professor Anesthesiology and Director of Perioperative Services; and Dr. Shilpa Patil, Assistant Professor Anesthesiology and Residency Director; all with LSU Health in Shreveport.

  • The Washington Times
    The Washington Times www.washingtontimes.com Perils of state-owned news outlets By Richard W. Rahn THE WASHINGTON TIMES Published June 5, 2003 If the federal government suddenly announced it had acquired the New York Times and now was going to force taxpayers to subsidize it, how would you react? Furthermore, assume you were told they would keep the same left-leaning editorial personnel and practices. Most Americans would be justifiably outraged because they would understand they were being forced to pay for political propaganda they may disagree with; that the government-subsidized paper had an unfair advantage over its private sector competitors; and that the paper could be used by political authorities for their own advantage. In fact, these same arguments are equally valid against the government-owned Corporation for Public Broadcasting and its subsidiary, National Public Radio (NPR). NPR has a well-known and documented left-wing political bias with views almost identical to that of the New York Times. NPR has a strong advantage over its private sector competitors because it receives the government subsidy and tax-deductible, private contributions to its operations. Advocates for NPR often claim conservatives have more talk radio hosts with bigger audiences so, even if NPR has a leftist bias, it is not a danger. However, there is a fundamental difference. If you do not like Rush Limbaugh, you can boycott his sponsors by not buying their products. If you do not like NPR and try to boycott its sponsor (the federal government) by withholding your taxes, you can be sent to jail.

  • The Voices of NPR
    Episode 11 – Michael Goldfarb – All Along the Watchtower The Voices of NPR And now a personal word, Michael Goldfarb has the voice of a journalist who has witnessed important events. He speaks with weariness and authority. His voice evokes a chorus of NPR announcers who report from near and distant places. Writer Dierdre Mask noted in an article in the Atlantic magazine, “We can’t see NPR reporters, so we have to picture them. And because they are with us in our most private moments—alone in the car, half-asleep in bed—we start to think we know them.” And we do think we know them. Their voices are iconic: distinct, informative, comforting, familiar. Their voices are the sounds of our better selves when we are bright and learned and engaged in the affairs of the world. No matter the day’s events, they give us hope that in a crazy world, sense and sensibility will prevail. Here are a few names I grew up with: Susan Stamberg, Bob Edwards, Carl Kasell, Noah Adams, Linda Wertheimer, Robert Siegel, Scott Simon, Cokie Roberts, and Bob Mondello. Each name evokes a voice, a style, a beat, that is the news soundtrack of our lives and shared imagination. We hear their stories as they report from bureaus from foreign capitals: Eleanor Beardsley, Paris; Rob Gifford, London; Ofiebea Quist-Arcton, Dakar; and, of course, Sylvia Poggioli, Rome. We hear war correspondents in the thick of battle: Michael Golfarb in Northern Ireland and Bosnia; Kelly McEvers in the midst of death and kidnapping in the Arab Spring, Tom Bowman among the fire and mortars of Helmand Province, and David Gilkey ambushed and killed by the Taliban.

Steven Tyler United States - 19 May 2011 Many contestants who audition for American Idol tell moving and emotional stories. Perhaps the most touching of them was told by Chris Medina who performed Breakeven by The Scripts at the auditions in Chicago. He told the judges of his fiancée Juliana Ramos who had suffered a brain injury after a car accident that left her in a wheelchair – able to move only her left arm and little more. After Chris sang, he brought his fian- cée to the audition room at the judges’ request. While Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez intro- duced themselves, Steven Tyler shook her hand saying: “Hi, girl. I just heard your fiancée sing, and he’s so good.” He added in a warm, tender whisper: “That’s why he sings so good, because he sings to you.” The New York Times called the moment “a stellar embrace” and praised Tyler as “deeply practiced and deeply humane” and an “unalloyed genius”.

  • Nina Totenberg
    When it Mattered Episode 8: Nina Totenberg Chitra Ragavan: Hello, and welcome to When It Mattered. I'm Chitra Ragavan. On this episode, we will be talking to Nina Totenberg, National Public Radio's award-winning legal affairs correspondent. Totenberg's coverage of the Supreme Court and legal affairs have won her widespread recognition and acclaim and earned many awards. She's often featured in Supreme Court documentaries, most recently in RBG. As Newsweek put it, quote, "The mainstays of NPR are Morning Edition and All Things Considered. But the créme del la créme is Nina Totenberg." Nina, welcome to the podcast. Nina Totenberg: It's my pleasure, Chitra. Chitra Ragavan: What was your path to becoming a reporter? Nina Totenberg: Well, when I was a girl, really a girl girl, I was a great fan of Nancy Drew, and Nancy could do everything. And, of course, she had no mother. Her mother was dead, so she didn't even have to compete for her father's affections. And she had a boyfriend, Ned, and a roadster, and she solved all kinds of mysteries and could do a jackknife dive. And I wanted to be Nancy Drew, and I thought the mystery part was something that I could do. And so I think that that made me, at first, interested in journalism. Nina Totenberg: And then later, when I was teenager, I read Theodore White's, The Making of a President, 1960, and I thought, "That's really what I want to do. I want to be ... " The elegant way of saying it is, "A witness to history." The inelegant way of saying it is, "I want to be a gossip," in the most regal sense.
