A couple of weeks ago on Earshot we spoke to Larry Mead, who has been described as “NYU’s token conservative” (which is a backhanded compliment really if you consider the reactionary liberalism NYU is known for). He is also the guy who invented workfare. I disagree with almost everything he says, but his is certainly an interesting point of view.

A few weeks ago on Earshot we did an episode about how a college in Ohio has decided to start informing the parents of students if their offspring were caught drinking. We spoke to Randy Havesham, who thinks this is a fine idea. He likens people’s children to investments and reasons that as investors parents have a right to know if their children are doing things they wouldn’t approve of.
I can’t for the life of me see what business a University has informing an adult’s parents of anything.

This evening on earshot we spoke to Michael Oko of American Red Cross about ongoing Tsunami Aid work. Janet did the interview, she’s getting very good. I am planning to do fewer interviews myself this semester and get the others all up to speed. I will concentrate on producing, editing and engineering.
