Program Summary: May 15, 2017

Hear Rep. Bill Otto and "the Lineball Sisters" discuss during the 2nd hour all manner of Kansas small town life after these news stories.

Counterspin (30 min.)  See: http://fair.org/

Description: This week on CounterSpin: Puerto Rico’s debt has been described as $34,000 for every man, woman and child; a common sort of trope, but one that tends to endorse a narrative—”everyone played now everyone’s gotta pay”—that doesn’t match the reality of how Puerto Rico came to be in its present state, or how “shared” the “sacrifice” is set to be as things move forward. Ed Morales has been reporting on Puerto Rico for The Nation, he’s a lecturer at Columbia University’s Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race, and author of Living in Spanglish and Latinx, forthcoming from Verso. We’ll talk to him about Puerto Rico’s past, present and future.

United Nations Radio (30 min.) See: http://www.un.org/en/index.html

Co-hosted during the second hour with Rep. Bill Otto, formerly of the 9th district, in the Kansas legislature listen in to conversations with "Traditional Republicans" who have lived small town life in Kansas across the generations.
