<p>Rebecca McKean and I started this program asking why so many U.S. Americans call Mayor Mamdani a "communist" and then explore the humanist idea that we all live in individual "landscapes" that form our perspectives and emotions -- and that those landscapes can be re-considered. We recorded at <a href="https://www.5napkinburger.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">5 Napkin Burger</a> on Broadway and 84th Street in Manhattan -- speaking with David Andersson, the English-language editor of the <a href="https://www.pressenza.com/it/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Pressenza International Press Agency</em></a> . We had talked with David in <a href="https://shows.acast.com/bar-crawl-radio/episodes/david-andersson-of-pressenza-the-wsc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BCR #230 </a>in June 2024 at the West Side Community Garden. And we invited N.J. high school honors student, Jeremy Maletzky -- who I had met at a talk at the <a href="https://rosalux.nyc/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rosa Luxemburg Institute</a> on ending the conflict in the Middle East a few weeks earlier -- to talk about "humanism" and the ideas of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Cobos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mario Rodriguez Cobos</a> -- an Argentinian, otherwise known as "Silo".</p><p>Alan Winson</p><p><a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
