This month on THE COFFEE HOUSE:
A CHANGED POLITICAL CLIMATE TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE
The Climate Commission created by Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley has issued far-reaching legislative recommendations that, if implemented, would move the state into a leadership role nationally in addressing global warming. The Commissions interim recommendations include reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2020, and 90 percent by 2050. In an interview with THE COFFEE HOUSE, Brad Heavner of Environment Maryland salutes the work of the Commission; Bill Cunningham of Unions for Jobs and the Environment is supportive but more tepid in his embrace. (Host: Mike Tidwell)
LAND OF THE FREE, HOME OF THE INCARCERATED
America leads the world, by a substantial margin, in its rate of imprisoning its own public. Is it because Americans are more prone to criminality? And why the glaring racial disparities in the rate of incarceration? In our new segment, Courting Justice, American University law professor Angela Jordan Davis discusses these and other criminal justice anomalies with Marc Mauer of the Sentencing Project. (Host: Angela Jordan Davis)
BLENDING TRADITIONAL INDIAN AND MODERN DANCE FORMS
Daniel Phoenix Singhs dance company offers a unique mix of the traditional from India and the very contemporary from America. In an interview with THE COFFEE HOUSE, Singh offers examples of his Asian and Western choreography, and talks about the challenge of mixing these in a single performance. (Host: Peter Dimuro)
ERIC CLAPTON, WORTS AND ALL
In Clapton: An Autobiography, the rock guitar legend is unsparing of his personal excesses and, concludes reviewer Reuben Jackson, has created a work worthy of Claptons musical greatness.
