Emily Sachar of The Daily Catch hosts The Catchup, sponsored by Hudson Solar and Battery Solutions, and sits down with Bard Observer co-editors Luc Redgate and Mica Rajakumar, who have been leading student coverage of Bard College President Leon Botstein since DOJ documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein named him.

Jeffrey Epstein And Professor Leon Botstein
Jeffrey Epstein’s connection to Leon Botstein centers on Epstein’s financial ties to Bard College, where Botstein has served as longtime president. Epstein donated money to Bard and was involved in academic-adjacent circles that Botstein occupied, part of Epstein’s broader strategy of embedding himself in elite educational and cultural institutions to launder his reputation. Like Harvard, MIT, and other universities that later faced scrutiny over their acceptance of Epstein-linked funds, Bard benefited from Epstein’s patronage during a period when his criminal conduct was either minimized or quietly ignored by many in elite circles.

Episode 123 [PATREON PREVIEW] -- The Botstein Files
One of the men whose presence in the Epstein Files has been making a lot of news is Bard College's forever president Leon Botstein. While there is no suggestion that Botstein participated in any of Epstein's crimes, his relationship with Epstein was longstanding and close. Revelations about their interactions have brought to the forefront several symptomatic issues about how colleges handle sexual assault, campus anti-rape activists, and their young charges more generally. In this episode, Moira, herself a graduate of Bard (Class of 2012, baby!) walks Adrian through what the Epstein/Botstein friendship can tell us about the last 50 years...

BrandTalkk with guest Asi Matathias (Ep.8)
Today we sit down with Violin Virtuoso Asi Matathias. Violinist Asi Matathias, protege of Pinchas Zukerman, is already recognized as one of the most celebrated talents of his generation. He made his debut at the age of 14 with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Zubin Mehta, displaying a musical maturity and inspiration far beyond his years. This success was immediately followed by another invitation from Maestro Mehta to perform with him in the following season.

How to Fix Democracy
The Art of Listening | Featuring Leon Botstein
Leon Botstein, music director and conductor, scholar, and president of Bard College in upstate New York, had once thought that the Berlin Wall would never come down. And he found the revolutions surrounding 1989 "frightening" because they could lead to the ascent of unregulated capitalism and the release of suppressed nationalism. Botstein explains that democracy "is harder than people expected" and worries that we are spending too much time staring at our smartphones and "mesmerized by nothing" rather than finding meaning and value by our own activity.

Vocal Music at Bard College (February 27 & 28, 2016)
RadioRotary interviews Kayo Iwama, Associate Director of the Graduate Vocal Arts Program at Bard College, about music education at the college and the performances open to the public. Bard has an unusual undergraduate degree program in music because each student must also obtain a degree in another subject, such as mathematics or political science. The Graduate Vocal Arts Program owes its existence to the renowned soprano Dawn Upshaw, who developed and directs it. Performances by students, faculty, and guest artists occur throughout the year at Bard, some of them free and many at the famed Fisher Center designed by Frank...

Is the 'Star-Spangled Banner' Out of Place at Orchestra Concerts?
The "Star-Spangled Banner" that kicks off opening night concerts across the U.S. is often believed to be a great patriotic tradition. But some people think it's out of place and out of mood. The Fort Worth Symphony recently drew criticism over its practice of playing the anthem before every concert. A Dallas musician sounded off on Facebook that orchestra concerts were not meant to be patriotic events, and that the anthem ruined the mood a conductor was trying to set. Many others agreed. In this week's podcast, two experts weigh in on the anthem at the orchestra...

Salome, Elektra och Rosenkavaljeren tillhör de yppersta mästerverken bland 1900-talets operor och Strauss symfoniska dikter (Don Juan, Till Eulenspiegel, Also sprach Zar...
