This month on Impolite Conversation we chat with the Very Reverend (and longtime Dan-friend) Barkley Thompson about trying to approach the political realm as a Christian rather than a partisan. His new book is In the Midst of the City: The Gospel and God's Politics. And then we break format to shamelessly promote Tim's new book with Heather Yates of the University of Central Arkansas, The Hollywood Connection: The Influence of Fictional Media and Celebrity Politics on American Public Opinion. (Makes a great stocking stuffer!) And in One Last Thing, Dan mourns the passing of Stan Lee and Tim dances on the grave of the Florida felon disenfranchisement law. Some of the things we talked about in this episode: Reverend Thompson mentioned his love for Wendell Berry and Flannery O'Connor, especially the short story "A Good Man Is Hard to Find." Reverend Thompson also alluded to Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone and Paul Tillich's discussion of "ultimate concern." Tim mentioned Bernard Cohen's famous assertion that "the press may not be successful much of the time in telling people what to think, but it is stunningly successful in telling its readers what to think about." Here is a short literature review on the phenomenon of agenda-setting. And here is the episode of Imp Convo co-hosted by the great and good Ashley Van Fleet. Dan's One Last Thing was about the passing of Stan Lee. Tim's One Last Thing was about Florida voters repealing that state's felon disenfranchisement law. Dan mentioned John Oliver's (NSFW) take on that topic. 0:00-1:03: Introduction 1:07-37:47: Thompson interview 37:51-56:26: Hill interview 56:30-59:29: Dan's OLT 59:29-63:03: Tim's OLT 63:03-64:07: Credits 64:11-64:27: Outtakes

On this week's podcast we take a look at what President Trump's first budget proposal could mean for the poor state of Arkansas. Analysis from political scientist Heather Yates of UCA and reaction from the state's Congressional delegation. The KUAR News crew also takes a look at: - A new task force on tax policy is off and running in the Arkansas Legislature. Tax cuts for the wealthy is the goal of some but at what cost? Is there a will to pay for it by cutting existing exemptions? - The FBI continues and possibly widens an investigation into state lawmakers recieving kickbacks in exchange for directing General Improvement Funds. - Campus carry is the law of the land but some places of higher learning, like UAMS, are seeking exemptions. What do they need to do to get a pass? Thanks for listening to KUAR's Week In Review podcast and make sure to subscribe on iTunes.
