** "The good thing for the most part, is that since nobody is watching CNN or MSNBC anyway - if we don't discuss it on your channel, nobody would even know that it happened..."
Pacifica Host Garland Nixon Takes A Seat At The Other Side Of The Table. This time, as a guest of the take no prisoner UK host and politician, George Galloway, in fact a prior host himself on Pacifica - together making sense of the explosive world situation at the moment in progress.
Referencing goons, actors and neo-nazis in Ukraine; the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Munich; divorce at the dinner table, Galloway's 90 year old mother - and the European barking chihuahuas.
** "You know, people who are at odds with the administration's agenda, will not go quietly into that good night..."
MSNBC Host Alex Wagner Checks In - Or Rather Out, of her just cancelled show, among many others right now, at the economically troubled station. And her cross-country investigative Trumpland, starting out actually as a project with her on air mentor, Rachel Maddow - herself downsized from a daily show to just one - negotiating the other four days to Wagner.
And our conversation with Wagner taking place just before her termination, but providing some evidence of what was to come - and what turned instead into a kind of doomed requiem for her show on the air.
** "As soon as I heard his song I thought - who is this guy..."
Music Corner. Rebel youth singer/songwriter Jesse Welles in performance - 'a voice like John Prine, plays guitar like Bob Dylan, and can write a song that's as topical as Phil Ochs, or Tom Paxton, or Woody Guthrie...'
** "The hard fought gains of the socialist movement of the 1920's still endure - and Cafe Central, where Trotsky is said to have planned the Russian Revolution..."
Bro On The Global Cultural Beat. AE Paris Correspondent Professor Dennis Broe takes the Arts Express across the continent - with a stopover in an Austria 'rejecting the drive toward war with Russia, meanwhile clinging stubbornly to its neutrality.'
Plus, what's up with the musical Wicked. And, Beyonce's breakthrough into country music, with Cowboy Carter. Or is it really nothing new when it comes to black musical influence in America - in other words, 'baby, we are here...'
