[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 470
Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion. While there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of great podcasts from other sources, the ones sponsored via public radio have been vetted though the worthy objectives of the medium. Here’s what I’ve been listening to recently. I hope you might find these suggestions helpful in enhancing your own enjoyment of radio, our favorite medium. __ __ [Ed. Note: FUTURE TENSE is one of my favorite programs for its ability to put into present context the dizzying pace of technological invention. This particular installment is from September 2018. What’s remarkable — and perhaps also foreboding — is that what’s discussed here over four years ago is even more relevant today than it was then. As to the program itself, pay special attention to how the problems democratic systems are experiencing in meeting the public’s expectations might be addressed by judiciously applying artificial intelligence (AI).] “AI, Populism and the threat to Human Rights” FUTURE TENSE - ABC RN (Radio National) The very notion of human rights is under threat from nationalists and populists. Yale’s Samuel Moyn argues the slide is related to a decline of liberal democracy. But there are also risks from the growth of Artificial Intelligence. The Australian Human Rights Commission has launched a new project aimed at helping to protect and promote human rights in an era of “unprecedented technological change”. Guests: Edward Santow – Australian Human Rights Commissioner Samuel Moyn – Professor of Law and History, Yale University Alison Brysk – Mellichamp Professor of Global Governance, University of California, Santa Barbara Alyssa Satara – Human Rights Advocate Birgit Schippers – Visiting Research Fellow, Queens University Belfast (28”) https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/futuretense/technology-and-human-rights/10173398 “War in Ukraine; Role of Mind Altering Drugs in Creating Modern Medicine LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC RN (Radio National) Ukrainian author Andrey Kurkov reflects on the war in Ukraine and we meet the 19th century scientists whose experiments with mind-altering drugs gave us modern medicine, psychology and philosophy.

Famed for his soulful voice and perfect Yiddish pronunciation, he performed in synagogues and theatres across the Eastern United States and toured Germany, Poland and Palestine. But after his death in 1954, LaRue Jones disappeared from memory, leaving behind only one recording, made in 1923. Drawing on research by the veteran musician and producer Henry Sapoznik, Maria Margaronis unpacks the mystery of LaRue Jones' career. What drew him to this music? What does his life tell us about race, faith and identity in America a hundred years ago? And why was he so quickly and utterly forgotten? LaRue Jones' story is entwined with the history of Newark, New Jersey, where he spent most of his life. Once known as the City of Opportunity, old Newark drew migrants from Europe and the American South in flight from persecution and searching for a new life. Blacks and Jews lived side by side in the city's poorer districts, absorbing each other's culture and musical traditions. But by mid-century, Newark's Jews were moving out in search of the suburban dream. Black people, hemmed in by racism and housing segregation, were left behind in an increasingly impoverished city. Thirteen years after LaRue Jones' death, the Newark riots, or rebellion, sealed the division of the two communities. LaRue Jones, like the world that made him, was consigned to oblivion--until zealous research by Henry Sapoznik tracked down that one recording and LaRue Jones' unmarked grave, and raised the curtain on the Black Cantor once more.

They appeared on the gaming platform Discord and revealed US assessments of the war in Ukraine as well as sensitive secrets about American allies. The New York Times managed to identify Teixeira as the suspect before the FBI arrested him. Also in the programme, a new BBC podcast that investigates the cold case of a boy from London who went missing over 40 years ago, and what next for Murdoch after the Fox News defamation lawsuit pay-out.

--- Begin Message --- John, You may realize this already, but this programme entitled “The Black Cantor” was produced by our own David Goren of "Shortwave Shindig" fame(Winter SWLFest). Henry Sapoznick is a folklorist, klezmer musician, and important scholar of Jewish/Yiddish culture. I really enjoyed the programme at its recent original airing.
