JOIN US TOMORROW TUESDAY 1-3 PM at 90.1FM and live streaming at www.wusb.fm. We will look at the events in Dallas and the ongoing nightmare of police brutality, racism and militarism. There is very little sense to be made of all of this, but delving deep into our cultural morass seems the only way to come up with solutions. I will do an opinion piece on the concept of the middle ground.

We will hear opinions of listeners as well as experts and analysts. So call in when Im off mic at 631.632.6901. Also, Steve Wiehe will check in with his usually sane take on current events.

PROGRAM NOTE: After our show, “Progressive Solutions” will be on hiatus until 8/2; listen for our somewhat left leaning libertarian (no, not an oxymoron at all) Chris Sorochin filling in.
