THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1
MANNING UP
Has the feminist transformation of western society reduced men to a state of perpetual adolescence? YES says Kay Hymowitz, author of "Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men into Boys." NO says Marj Halperin of the Chicago Foundation for Women. And they debate that ideal on the program.
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4
GENERAL NEWS REVIEW
Yesterday's election in Egypt, the emergence of Gingrich and the fall of Cain, Europe's fiscal crisis, Iran going for the nukes and Russia coming close to rejecting Putin: these are some--but not all--of the headline stories to be analyzed by our great panel of Chris Robling, Michael Noonan and Scott Stantis (yes, that Scott Stantis, the brilliant political cartoonist at the Chicago Tribune).
MONDAY, DECEMBER 5
GROSSMAN'S GAZETTE
Join us for an hour of schmoozing with the best story-teller and all-around savant in the greater metropolitan area. Who? Ron Grossman, former progfessor of medieval history and, for the last twenty years, roving features writer for the Tribune.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6
THE HISTORY OF JAZZ
Nothing less than The History of American Jazz! Our guests in studio are Howard Reich, the esteemed jazz critic at the Tribune, and Orbert Davis, director of the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic. And by recording we will hear (this is only a partial list): King Oliver, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins, Dizzy Gillepsie, Miles Davis and Stan Kenton.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7
THE HISTORY AND SOCIAL IMPACT OF GOSSIP
"Do you know the real story about Yakabelian's visit to Las Vegas?" So might begin a choice bit of gossip---all the more choice if Yakabelian is a public official or, perhaps, a mainstay of your church. We all indulge in gossip (or in being gossiped about) and now, Joseph Epstein has done the definitve study of its pleasures and its dangers. So we talk with him about his new book, "Gossip: The Untrivial Pursuit." By the way, why--in contemporary slang--is it called "dishing?"
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8
DOES THE EPA OVER-REGULATE?
Govermental regulations intended to reduce fossil fuel use far overshoot the mark and are imperiling the country's economic future. So argues Rich Trzupek, author of "Regulations Gone Wild." He joins in debate with Jack Darin, Director of the Illinois chapter of the Sierra Club.
