David Amram, a virtuoso composer and jazz musician who has been a trailblazer in the American arts scene for decades and was a pioneer of what became known as the Beat movement, was in Austin for the September 29 Texas premiere of This Land is Our Land, his folk-inspired Symphonic Variations on a Song by Woody Guthrie. Read Thorne Dreyer’s Rag Blog article about the 82-year-old Amram -- who was called “the Renaissance Man of American Music” by The Boston Globe -- and listen to the podcast of the Rag Radio interview.
Author Chris Mooney surgically dissects the "Republican Brain," tapping impressive new scientific research ranging from social psychology and cognitive neuroscience to genetics. According to Mooney, "Political conservatives seem to be very different from political liberals at the level of psychology and personality." Conservatives "view the world in black and white," Mooney said. "They think that there's only two sides, and that they're on the right side." Mooney is the author of "The Republican Brain: The Science of Why They Deny Science -- and Reality." This article includes a podcast of Thorne Dreyer's hour-long interview with Mooney on Rag Radio.
Bill Neiman -- a leader in the movement to conserve natural resources and restore the heath of the environment in Texas -- was Thorne Dreyer's guest on Rag Radio, Friday, April 13, originally broadcast on KOOP-FM in Austin. Neiman is also an environmental landscaper and his Native American Seed is the principal supplier of native wildflower and grass seeds in Texas. An advocate of the use of native species of vegetation in landscaping, Neiman warns that we must have a paradigm shift in our relationship to the land. Listen to the podcast of the interview at this post.
According to Jim Hightower, "even the smallest dog can lift its leg on the tallest building." Jim -- who is perhaps our most celebrated contemporary champion of the common folk -- believes we are in a "populist moment" in the United States. As Thorne Dreyer's guest on Rag Radio, he discussed his philosophy and his generally positive take on the state of progressive activism in the country. Includes highlights from the interview, a player for listening to the podcast, and Jeff Zavala's video of the show.

The post includes a player to listen to the podcast which includes live performance by musicians Richard Bowden and Mo McMorrow.
