This week on the Truth to Power Happy Hour, we gather folks around the microphones after work on Friday for a Winter Solstice community conversation reflecting on the dark year past and our hopes in the year to come. This freewheeling conversation features Stephen Bartlett, Director of Forward Radio’s community partner, Sustainable Agriculture of Louisville, along with a bevy of Forward Radio volunteers, Ruth Newman (Program Coordinator), Lonnie Griesbaum (Backtracks), Hart Hagan (Let’s Talk / The Climate Report), and Jeff Levy (Outbreak: The Science, Policy and Treatment of Coronavirus). Join us as we reflect on the 2020 elections, the Electoral College & Senate, the pandemic, conspiracy theories, U.S. imperialism, Louisville community gardeners under threat, the Courier-Journal from 100 years ago today, and Medicare for all!
*Correction Note (56 minutes): The information shared about Gilead comes from Jeffrey Sachs, not Paul Farmer as stated.
On Truth to Power each week, we gather Forward Radio programmers and friends to discuss the state of the world, the nation, the state, and the city! It's a community conversation like you won't hear anywhere else!
Truth to Power airs every Saturday at 11am, Sunday at 4pm, and Monday at 2pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at http://forwardradio.org
