Evil Geniuses Influential conservatives have capitalized on a wave of cultural nostalgia after the turbulent 1960s to turn our economy into a version of extreme capitalism. Economists like Milton Friedman, politicians like Ronald Reagan and Mitch McConnell, and CEOs like the Koch Brothers have used money, policy, secrecy, and cultural movements to demonize the federal government and rig our economy for the rich. Together with neoliberalism from the left, the New Deal was replaced by the raw deal.  Investing in America The US government is responsible for many of the greatest inventions of the last century, but does not capitalize on these discoveries. If the government acted like a private enterprise, it would have more money to invest in communities as well as support innovation. In Republican-led, individualist Alaska, royalties earned from natural gas and oil drillers is distributed to all Alaskans every year. The program is a form of socialism, a universal basic income. The government could use the Alaska model to reap the benefits of its assets, like charging industry for air pollution. Constant Engagement Continuous civic engagement is the way to undo decades of economic and civic destruction. Showing up to vote once every two or four years is not enough. Doing the steady work of championing good candidates who believe in the big ideas, and discussing the issues in a non-binary way are key to achieving basic fairness. Engagement looks different around the US, and what works in Queens, New York, will not work in Colorado or Nebraska. FIND OUT MORE: Kurt Andersen is a writer.

Thursday, February 25, 2021, 12 noon WPKN 89.5 FM www.wpkn.org Host: Duo Dickinson Everyone lives somewhere. We all talk about where we live, but more, we think about it. A lot. Especially when we have been under House Arrest lo this entire year. There are two worlds that we go to to consider our options in creating our own home. One is everywhere, especially now in a Connecticut Covid Bounce that has seen prices jump 20%, the Real Estate world. It is a world of marketing, dumbing down everything to a “Style” or “the latest trend”. Whether HOUZZ or Home Depot, our home love is seen a Profit Center Opportunity, and the language of “Buy Now And Save” is the same as that for selling anything, hype over insight, let alone listening to our fondest dreams. The second world of those you can talk to about your biggest asset and risk, where you live, are the designers, builders, architects who make the homes you are thinking about everyday. But a different hype happens. Rather than feign sentimental intimacy of Your “special” needs, architects and designers pose as oracles of cool, hiding their preconceptions in language that you do not understand, but, they hope, will confer wisdom, insight and value. Rooms are “Zones”. Windows and doors are “Openings” or worse,”Fenestration”. Trim becomes “Datum”. Walls become “Planes” and doorways become “Voids”. Seeing outside becomes “Transparency” and spending less on heat is “Sustainable”. Why can’t architect’s just talk the walk of homemaking? Today on HOME PAGE we ask that question of three who have dealt with how we communicate in design in ways that. Give them exceptional insights. Peter Chapman has worked at The Taunton Press for over 30 years and is currently executive editor for Taunton Books. Peter has had a hand in most of the home design books that Taunton has published since 1998, including two from our host, Duo (Staying Put and The House You Build), as well as Sarah Susanka’s best-selling Not So Big House series. In earlier lives, Peter worked as a house painter (church steeples a specialty), educational test compiler, and apple picker.” Gina Calabro is the Executive Director/CEO of the Connecticut Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA Connecticut). AIA Connecticut serves as a resource to architects and the public. Its membership of over 1,500 is comprised of architects, professionals working towards licensure, architectural students, and business professionals in affiliated fields. Prior to joining AIA Connecticut, she has worked with or lead trade associations as the CEO for the Home Builders and Remodelers Association (HBRA) of Fairfield County, and as the Division Director of Membership and Marketing for the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities. Kurt Andersen is a writer. His latest book Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America (2020) about how U.S. society was re-engineered during the last quarter of the 20th century to serve big business and the well-to-do at the expense of everyone else. It was a New York Times bestseller, like its companion volume Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire (2017), Andersen’s prize-winning history of America’s weakness for exciting untruths. In addition, he’s the author of four critically acclaimed, bestselling novels –– You Can’t Spell America Without Me (2017), True Believers (2012), Heyday (2007) and Turn of the Century (1999). Andersen also writes for television and the stage, appears regularly on MSNBC and contributes to the New York Times. He co-created and hosted the Peabody Award-winning weekly public radio program Studio 360, co-founded Spy magazine, and was a columnist and design critic for The New Yorker, New York and Time, as well as editor-in-chief of New York. Born and raised in Omaha, he graduated from Harvard College and lives with his wife Anne Kreamer in Brooklyn

Going Grey author Anne Kreamer talks about dating, the corporate experience and personal transformation as she embraced and documented the journey of returning to her natural hair colour. Maria Petrou from Little Bird Salon talks about how to transition to your natural colour.   

This episode is an interview with Anne Kreamer, author of “Going Gray: What I Learned about Beauty, Sex, Work, Motherhood, Authenticity, and Everything Else that Really Matters" (Affiliate link). And we loved speaking with her! She has a new, mission-driven company called WildAndRare.com and we totally recommend checking it out, too! The book is great because, first of all, Ms. Kreamer is a terrific writer, and secondly, because she really takes the time to look at what gray hair means to us as American Women (as well as a few French women!). Our society has us believing that women with gray hair are too old, not sexy, and over the hill, but of course that's just not true! Yeah! Anne's experience with letting her hair revert to its natural color mirrors some of Sarah's experience, but Sarah is fully committed, even though she's currently experiencing what Anne calls "a Bad Hair Year." Anne gave us some wisdom about clarity and the notion of what really matters, and that for her, the superficial things, like hair color, just really doesn't matter. Not to mention the copious amounts of time and money she (and so many of us) have spent on coloring their hair. In the book, Anne estimated that she spent $65,000 over almost 25 years of coloring her hair. Just think about that! What if you could have all that money back??? And beyond that, what if you could have back the amount of energy and time you spent worrying about what people thought about you and what color your hair is? A lifetime of joy probably exists there! So let it go, people, let it Damn Well GO!

Grå hårsvall dyker upp och hyllas inom modevärlden med jämna mellanrum, men trenden blir aldrig långlivad. Inte så konstigt. Grått hår anses fortfarande signalera att en persons bäst-föredatum närmar sig med stormsteg. Ett trick för att slippa utsätta sig själv och andra för denna - för många- provocerande kulör är att färga håret. Det är en enorm industri. Mer om hur vi hanterat det gråa håret genom tiderna berättar vi i veckans STIL. Det första kommersiella hårfärgningspreparatet lanserades 1909 i Paris av en kemist i Paris vid namn Eugène Schueller. Hårfärgen, som var vida bättre än de som fanns tidigare, blev en dundersuccé och kom att ligga till grund för det företag han startade i samma veva – L'Oréal. Det är idag världens största skönhetsföretag. Många inspirerades av hans framgångar inom hårfärg. I USA grundades till exempel hårfärgningsmärket Clairol som under det sena 1950-talet kom att förändra färgen på miljoner kvinnor (och mäns) hår – och gör det än. Att våga visa sitt gråa hår betraktas fortfarande som något modigt, och kontroversiellt. Det kan den amerikanska författaren Anne Kreamer vittna om. Hon har skrivit boken Going gray - vad jag lärde mig om skönhet, sex, arbete, moderskap, autenticitet, och allt annat som betyder någonting om hur hon lät håret växa ut och bli naturligt grått. Henne har vi ringt upp och pratat med.  I New York har vi träffat den amerikanska skönhetsentreprenören Linda Rodin vars produkter under namnet Rodin Olio Lusso är en favorit bland skönhetsnördar. Hon är också känd för sin enkla elegans: lite smink, stora tonade glasögon, ballerinaskor och det silvergrå håret uppsatt i en knut på huvudet. Dessutom frågar vi oss hur det kommer sig att svenska kvinnor i en viss (medel)ålder envisas med att klippa sig kort i en praktiskfrisyr á la Maud Olofsson. Den svenske stylisten Tommie X berättar om poängen med utväxter som syns och så får vi höra om ett befriande alternativ för män med flyende hårfästen.
