#InterculturalInsights on #WMPG alternates between four different segments... A brand new one, #TheWeavers, airs on the first Tuesday of the month at 11:30am - 12 noon (right before #DemocracyNow). The other three shows are great as well... Shows available for five weeks after airdates via the audio archives...

"Intercultural Insights offers four different shows that air once a month.

On the first Tuesday of every month The Weavers are weaving the values of their ancestors into the world we share today. Hosts #LisaSockabasin and #NancyLaCoote explore #Wabanaki values and how these values are lived (or not lived) today.

"On the second Tuesday of each month, #ReturningTheLand is hosted by USM professor Dr. #DavidLowry, the founder of the #IndigenousPeoplesTrust—an initiative calling for justice and the return of Indigenous land.

"The third Tuesday of the month features Dr. #IdellaGlenn, the Vice President of Equity, Inclusion, and Community Impact at USM with her show: Building USM’s Beloved Community. Unspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Beloved Community, Dr. Idella Glenn sits down with members of the community to foster and embrace the all-#inclusive spirit of USM.

"And on the fourth Tuesday of each month, #VoicesAndVisions: The #Podcast is an #Artisttalk series that features #IndigoArts Alliance’s alumni artists in residence, highlighting their similarities, creative #intersections, distinct voices, and their residence experience. Each episode is a conversation between two artists while they were in residence at Indigo Arts Alliance."

I'm sure this is just a coincidence, but I can't help finding it horrifically funny that they used the name "Paul Campbell." Paul Campbell was a pseudonym used by the Weavers for their writing, and of course, the Weavers played the music (by then 30 to 40 years old), that I listened to in my teen years and which put me hopelessly out of touch with my generation.
