New and Returning Series

Action Speaks

Thursdays, 1:00 p.m. (beginning July 9, through July 30)

“Underappreciated dates that changed America” is the theme of this four-part series of panel discussions. Each program looks at a watershed moment from the past and asks, “What Now?” With our country mired in its worst economic collapse since the great depression, the panel discusses how history can be a guide for what actions our nation should or shouldn't take to provide for its citizens and whether or not it is time to re-set our priorities.

July 9: The Creation of the CCC; The Civilian Conservation Corps (1933)

July 16: Arthur Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman’ First Produced (1949)

July 23: The Flint, Michigan United Auto Workers Sit-In (1937)

July 30: JFK Calls for the Moon! (1962)

Special

Politics Takes a Holiday, July 4th Edition

Thursday, July 2, 4:30 p.m.

Joe Biden has announced that the Capitol Steps July 4th Radio show is "the finest radio program since President Ben Franklin debated George Washington Carver, inventor of the peanut, on Morning Edition." Made possible by legislation contained in the Political Satire Recovery Act of 2009. (That’s what the Capitol Steps say, and who could doubt them?)


Discoveries at Disney Concert Hall: Los Lobos

Friday, July 3, 4:00 p.m.

"Ranging from traditional Mexican and Spanish music, to rock, folk, jazz and even experimental, sonic psychedelics, the East L.A. band Los Lobos has successfully redefined their sound, collecting three Grammy awards and consistently topping the charts. This concert features songs from their album, The Town and The City -- with its poignant stories of recent immigrant arrivals -- along with tunes spanning their entire career, going back to the mid-seventies.
