Culture of Protest host Professor Dick Flacks writes, “27 years ago… was the first broadcast of Culture of Protest. So this week an anniversary show, in which we pay musical tribute to a few of our heroes who have had special anniversaries this month for which some excellent music happens to be appropriate. These include Tom Paine, IF Stone, Abel Meeropol and Goodman, Schwerner and Chaney. And we’ll close with a selection of songs that attest to the power of song and the power of the people…”
This anniversary broadcast will air this Thursday, June 25th. Culture of Protest airs Thursdays from 6-7pm here on KCSB.

This week on The Marketplace of Ideas, Colin Marshall talks to journalist Travis Elborough about the venerable long-playing vinyl album. Elborough’s new book, The Vinyl Countdown: The Album from LP to iPod and Back Again, traces the format from its 1948 inception through the “hi-fi” craze, the groundbreaking uses of the medium by iconic groups such as the Beach Boys and the Beatles, the flamboyant heyday of the concept- and double-album, the vagaries of short-lived subclasses like the quadraphonic 8-track tape, cut-and-paste adoption by hip-hop culture on both the cassette and the twin turntables, and its resurgence in our modern day.
The Marketplace of Ideas every Thursday at noon.
On Thursday, June 11th, at 6pm, KCSB’s “Culture of Protest” presents, according to show host Professor Dick Flacks, “the annual graduation day ‘Culture of Protest,’ featuring songs (mostly newish) that relate to the life and times of the class of 2009 (and a nod to father’s day too).”
“Culture of Protest” airs Thursdays from 6-7pm on KCSB-FM.
This week on The Marketplace of Ideas, Colin Marshall talks to writer, speaker, blogger and student of the creative mind Merlin Mann.
In 2004, Mann founded 43Folders, a blog and community focused on tips, tricks, tools and techniques designed to improve one’s own productivity and organizational skills. In late 2008, he took the site in a brand new direction, instead directing his efforts toward the habits and thoughts of humanity’s best creators and figuring out what can be learned and implemented from examining them. Mann also happens to be the creator of other such internet ventures as Kung Fu Grippe, 5ives and one-third of the hugely successful comedy podcast You Look Nice Today: A Journal of Emotional Hygiene.
