I recorded an interview with Shelton Walden a bit ago for his program Walden’s Pond on WBAI, 99.5 FM in New York. It airs today at 1 Eastern, or can be streamed here. This is a Pacifica radio station, on the left of the political spectrum as well as the radio dial, and so I was very pleased to be able to reach an audience than in my usual media appearances.
Our topics were animal rights, human exceptionalism, human rights, much of the spectrum we cover here at SHS. Walden was a good interviewer and the format allowed us to go into depth.
There is a permanent stream of this show in the archives. Go to October 26, 2008 at 1:00 PM. But if you have the inclination and are not otherwise occupied, check it out.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
