September 18th Show
Okay, today this is what's shaping up for your listening ears:
In our first hour we'll talk about a new human rights watch report entitled "No Easy Answers: Sex Offender Laws in the United States." It concludes that sex offender laws that are written to protect people from sexual abuse are too harsh, and may in fact be counter-productive. We'll review the report with its co-author Sarah Tofte, a researcher at Human Rights Watch, and discuss the impact of sex offender laws. Following that, we'll talk with author and political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson about the new charges facing O.J. Simpson. Hutchinson's latest article is entitled, "Do the Police Have It Out For O.J.?"
Second hour topic....second hour topic..now where the heck did we put the second hour topic? Well, good thing we'll be talking about the trying tales of things lost and found. From that lost piece of luggage to the one family photo you could have sworn you put right there on that pile...what's the most bizarre thing you've lost...and then found? Remember, you'll always find it in the last place you look. (why on EARTH do people say that?) At the end of the second hour, David Cordingly, the author of "Cochrane: The Real Master and Commander" talks about the checkered life and legacy of Lord Thomas Cochrane, a British naval hero who was the model for Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubry, and a controversial figure during the Napoleonic era.
Enjoy!!
