With Good Reason Radio » Related Media http://withgoodreasonradio.org From VFHRadio at the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities Sat, 25 Feb 2012 05:01:42 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 “With Good Reason” brings you on to campus for intimate conversations with university faculty about their research in any of the disciplines. No topic is off limits for host Sarah McConnell as she explores everything from civil rights icon James Farmer’s training in debate, to the traditions of the samurai warrior, to the cultural history of Hawaiian shirts. Featured guests have included Julian Bond discussing race in America, Bruce Grayson sharing his study of near death experiences, Mike Seeger exploring American folk music, Bryan Caplan on the “myth of the rational voter,” Nikki Giovanni reading from her poetry, and Lawrence Weinstein describing–through a process called “guesstimation”–how big your feet would have to be in order to walk on water. With Good Reason is produced by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities for the Virginia Higher Education Broadcasting Consortium and is online at www.withgoodreasonradio.org With Good Reason Radio no With Good Reason Radio vafh-web@virginia.edu vafh-web@virginia.edu (With Good Reason Radio) All rights reserved, Virginia Foundation for The Humanities Virginia's Only Statewide Public Radio Program humanities, vfh, history, arts, culture, business, health, literature With Good Reason Radio » Related Media http://wgr.vfhblogs.org/files/2008/11/logo_wgr.jpg http://withgoodreasonradio.org/category/related-media/ Charlottesville, VA Weekly From Combat to College — web extra http://withgoodreasonradio.org/2012/01/from-combat-to-college-web-extra/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=from-combat-to-college-web-extra http://withgoodreasonradio.org/2012/01/from-combat-to-college-web-extra/#comments Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:16:06 +0000 klibby http://withgoodreasonradio.org/?p=4206 Wanna know how to write a good short story?
