The WGXC Afternoon Show Monday is hosted by Sara Kendall and features several topics. At 4:15 p.m., J Michael O'Hara will be interviewed about the Ten Percent Challenge, a program that invites Hudson residents - and folks all over the world - to pledge to reduce their energy use by 10 percent.
We'll air one of the lectures recorded by Melinda Braathen and Gideon Crevoshay at the two-day conference “Truthtelling: Democracy in an Age without Facts," which took place on Oct. 28-29 at Bard College's Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities. The invited speakers, consisting of editors, writers, scientists, journalists, artists and academics, were asked to take on the question: “How do we tell the truth amidst the defactualization of our world?” Today, when facts are so easily reduced to opinions, and opinions are so easily consumed as facts, how do we deal with the lose of factual truths?
Today we'll hear the introductory lecture by Roger Berkowitz, the Academic Director of the Hannah Arendt Center. At the end of the month we'll broadcast the spellbinding lecture by Wyatt Mason, who discusses a series of actions performed by the contemporary Chinese Artist and activist, Ai WeiWei, that essentially led to his temporary, yet highly contentious imprisonment.
