Programming Highlights

  • Phil and Ted's Sexy Boomer Show, with guest Ventriloquist Jay Johnson

    We revisit Phil & Ted's interview with ventriloquist Jay Johnson. It’s a good thing that Jay is working in the 21st Century, when master ventriloquists win Tony Awards, unlike more superstitious times when the stagecraft of “throwing a voice” was associated with demonism, fraudsters, and God forbid sewage! Jay became nationally known as the ventriloquist in the landmark TV comedy series, “Soap,” and has since acted in many films and TV shows. He won a Tony Award for his hilarious one-man, hit Broadway show, “The Two and Only.” Jay explains the fascinating art of ventriloquism and how it has rattled and amazed audiences for centuries. Plus, a special treat from the Firesign Theatre comedy archives.

  • LA Theatre Works, Sunday March 30 at 10:00 pm, "Photograph 51" Starring Miriam Margolyes and Maxwell Caulfield

    Rosalind Franklin was a gifted research scientist who was part of the race to uncover the secrets of DNA in the 1950’s. Her more famous contemporaries Watson and Crick took all the kudos for the discovery of the molecule’s double helix structure—yet it was Franklin’s skill with X-ray diffraction that first uncovered what’s called “the secret of life.” Includes interviews with Brenda Maddox, the world’s foremost biographer of Rosalind Franklin and author of Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA and Dr. Pamela Björkman, the Max Delbruck Professor of Biology at Cal Tech, and an Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Original music composed by Gareth S. Brown.

  • "We Are Killing the Essence of What the University Is": Dr. Joanne Liu on NYU Canceling Her Talk

    The former international head of Doctors Without Borders is speaking out after New York University canceled her presentation, saying some of her slides could be viewed as “anti-governmental” and “antisemitic” because they mentioned the Trump administration’s cuts to foreign aid and deaths of humanitarian workers in Israel’s war on Gaza. Dr. Joanne Liu, a Canadian pediatric emergency medicine physician, was scheduled to speak at NYU, her alma mater, on March 19 and had been invited almost a year ago to discuss the challenges of humanitarian crises. Censoring speech is “killing the essence of what the university is about,” says Liu. “I truly and strongly believe that universities are the temple of knowledge.”

  • "The Darkest Hour of Need": Burmese Junta Continues Bombing in Aftermath of Devastating Earthquake

    We get an update on “the darkest hour of need” for the Burmese people, from Maung Zarni, a Burmese human rights activist, after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit Burma Friday, leaving at least 2,700 dead, with the death toll expected to rise as rescue efforts continue. Aid groups in the worst-hit areas of Burma, also known as Myanmar, said there was an urgent need for shelter, food and water. The country’s civil war has complicated efforts to reach those injured and made homeless in the disaster, and Amnesty International says the military needs to allow aid to reach areas of the country not under its control.
