Program Summary: August 21, 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:  Many, many Americans are shocked and saddened by the horror of the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, the violence and hatred it represented, even before the beating of Deandree Harris and the murder of Heather Heyer. And saddened, if perhaps less shocked, to have a president who can’t bring himself to denounce it. Whether it does more than shock and sadden will depend in part on the quality of the conversations we have about it—and that has something to do with media. How capable and how willing can we expect them to be, of examining the role of US institutions, including their own, in what happened in Charlottesville—what led to it, what could lead away from it?

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.
