With Good Reason Radio » VA Indian Heritage 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.
