Kaplan & Clarkson Discuss the Religious Right on the Radio on Friday Email Print

Esther Kaplan will be the featured guest this Friday evening on on Writer's Voice, a weekly radio program devoted to discussion of books and publishing. The topic is Kaplan's recent book, With God on Their Side:  How Christian Fundamentalists Trampled Science, Policy, and Democracy in George Bush's White House.

Frederick Clarkson (that's me) will also appear to talk about Talk to Action, and the importance of books in the development of political culture.

It is possible to hear the show via streaming audio, over your computer.

Streaming audio is one way for us to hear things we need to hear, that may not be airing in our part of the country. It is very likely to be a crtical part of the communications infrastructure necessary to contend with the religious right.

(If you are going to do this, it is best to test it in advance, in order to solve any technical glitches in advance.)

Kaplan joins such distinguished writers as Tracy Kidder, Robert Reich, Marge Piercy, Studs Terkel, Maureen Corrigan, Jim Hightower, and many more, who have appeared on Writer's Voice.  (Well, ok.  I have also appeared on the show.)

The program airs 5:30 to 6:30pm on Friday, on WMUA 91.1 FM in Amherst, the radio station of the University of Massachussetts at Amherst.
