Old Mole Variety Hour for February 9, 2015

Denise Morris hosts this episode dealing with the crushing debt owed by poor nations to wealthy financial institutions; a new novel about a Chinese-American girl; and how ideas of child rearing intersect with ideas about social welfare.

We also hear a discussion of KBOO's mission of providing a way beyond the sadness and guilt provoked by atrocities carried out by our government. This webpage enables you to listen to the show without interruption by pleas for membership. You can show your appreciation for this fact, and for everything KBOO does, by making your contribution in the tip jar at the top right of this page.
