American Podium: Joel Kotkin `America in 2050` 3/30/2010 | The United States is growing at a record rate, with our population poised to hit 400 million by 2050. That means 100,000,000 more of us, using our highways, breathing our air, and stuffing our schools. But Joel Kotkin, an internationally recognized authority on global, economic, political, and social trends and author of The Next Hundred Million, sees the looming population boom as the strongest indicator of our country`s long-term economic strength, making us more diverse and more competitive than any nation on Earth. | 4/6/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

American Podium: Garry Wills - `Bomb Power` 3/16/2010 | The power of the atomic bomb resonates far beyond megatons, says Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and historian Garry Wills. Its very existence has transformed our nation by dramatically increasing the power of the modern presidency and redefining the government as a national security state. Wills, author of Bomb Power, says the Manhattan Project was a triumph of official secrecy and military discipline-perhaps expected in wartime, but then growing into the covert operations and overt authority that have defined American government in the nuclear era. | 4/6/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

American Podium: Jeremy Rifkin - The Age of Empathy | Empathy became a political buzzword during the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor: As a 'wise Latina woman,' was she too empathetic, selectively empathetic, or just-right empathetic? Perhaps time will tell, but in the meantime, says controversial social critic Jeremy Rifkin, empathy is our best-and possibly only-model for global survival in the early 21st century. Rifkin, founder and president of the Foundation on Economic Trends and author of The Age of Empathy, believes we sit on the cusp of a great experiment to date-refashioning human consciousness so that humans can live and flourish in the new globalizing society-and that the development of empathy is central to a future in which we think and behave like the whole world matters. | 2/16/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

American Podium: Raj Patel - Looking Beyond Price Tags | In an era when the gears of the economy have ground to a virtual halt, writer, activist, and academic Raj Patel (2008`s bestselling Stuffed and Starved) says we all need to start asking the fundamental but baffling question of why things cost what they do. His latest work, The Value of Nothing, uses some fundamental but forgotten economics and cutting-edge neuroeconomics to show how the price we pay for everything is systematically distorted. Patel clearly explains why the question 'How much?' means far more than the price on the sticker. | 2/2/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

American Podium: Future of Health - Understanding Addiction | Addictions fill celebrity tabloids and fuel 'reality' TV shows, but the true reality is that even those of us who know an addict, or have experienced addiction, have a hard time fully understanding the void that addiction attempts to fill, or know how to address it. But bestselling writer and physician Gabor Mate (In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts), who has worked with the severely addicted on Vancouver`s Skid Row, explains the phenomenon by describing its root causes -- a complex interplay of personal history, emotional and neurological development, brain chemistry, and Western culture. | 1/26/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Town Square: McChesney and Nichols - Bail Out the Newspapers | We`ve lost the printed Post-Intelligencer; daily newspapers are closing in Denver, Cincinnati, and Albuquerque; and even the venerable Boston Globe is at risk. 'Surviving' newspapers are shedding reporters, shuttering bureaus, and ignoring entire areas of coverage. Journalism, the counterbalance to corporate and political power and the lifeblood of an informed citizenry, is not just threatened; it is in meltdown. Robert McChesney and John Nichols, authors of The Death and Life of Great American Newspapers, believe the federal government should intervene to save newspapers, and journalism -- and they have history on their side: The founders who wrote a free-press protection into the First Amendment provided subsidies to the burgeoning print press of our young nation. | 1/21/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
