Programming Highlights

  • LA Theatre Works, Sunday July 6 at 10:00 pm, "Life On Paper" starring Sarah Drew and Seamus Dever

    AudioFile Magazine says,"Sarah Drew​ and Seamus Dever​ create a nice Hepburn/Tracy-like chemistry in their verbal sparring." One of the world’s wealthiest men has died in a plane crash. The insurance company representing the airline assigns math genius Mitch Bloom to the case to minimize their payout – but Mitch finds himself facing a formidable opponent in Ida Watkins, a small-town actuary who challenges his ideas about the value of a human life. Includes an interview with playwright Kenneth Lin.

  • Phil and Ted's Sexy Boomer Show, Tuesday, July 1 at 2:00 pm, Guest Photographer Rob Lewine

    What makes a good photographer in an age of selfies? Accomplished Hollywood photographer and musician Rob Lewine has photographed Oscar, Emmy, and Tony Award winners. His work has been featured in many prominent publications, including National Geographic World, Newsweek, Rolling Stone and Time. As a bassist, Rob was an early member of The Grass Roots and Little Feat. An extra added bonus - Firesign Theatre comedy classics, "Dr. Beanbag Radio," and "Radio Prison in Peace & War."

  • "Damaging and Deadly" Heat Domes Nearly Tripled, from Europe to the U.S.: Climatologist Michael Mann

    A heat wave is raising temperatures to dangerous levels across much of Europe, just days after a heat wave in North America saw over 3,000 temperature records set. For more, we speak with climate scientist Michael Mann, who warns that heat domes and flooding have nearly tripled since the 1950s. “At some level, this isn’t that complicated. You make the planet hotter, you’re going to have more frequent and intense heat extremes,” says Mann, a professor of environmental science at the University of Pennsylvania. Mann’s upcoming book, co-authored with vaccine expert Dr. Peter Hotez, is Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces That Threaten Our World.

  • "Ethnic Cleansing": U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker TĂĽrk, on Israel's War in Gaza

    “There are many things that happened in this war that are clearly war crimes,” Volker TĂĽrk, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, says about Israel’s war on Gaza. Democracy Now!'s Amy Goodman spoke with the top U.N. rights watchdog in Geneva this week at the headquarters of the United Nations Human Rights Council. TĂĽrk, who has characterized Israel's actions in Gaza as ethnic cleansing, discusses the ongoing suffering of the civilian population, how Israel has attacked the U.N. and its workers, and why he continues to hope “for both Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace.”
