Kotuku Quintet Simon Ansell (violin), John Seager (violin), Judith Gust (viola), Sally-Anne Brown (cello), Louise Webster (piano). The Kotuku Quintet returns with the Piano quintet in F minor, op. 34 by Johannes Brahms. Described as his greatest piece of chamber music it is probably the most frequently performed of his chamber works. Brahms was a demanding self-critic, and the quintet went through several iterations, beginning life as a string quintet, then transcribed into a sonata for two pianos before ending as a work for piano and string quartet. Here, the dual sides of his musical nature – dark, turbulent romanticism and rigorous classicism – were in their most fruitful conflict and balance, the music covering a wide spectrum of moods: majesty, serenity, tension, foreboding, anger and joy. Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34 Johannes Brahms 1. Allegro non troppo 2. Andante, un poco adagio 3. Scherzo: Allegro 4. Finale: Poco sostenuto – Allegro non troppo – Presto, non troppo

John Seager, President and CEO of Population Connection, describes how his organization provides education, advocacy and small loans to assist people in voluntarily achieving their family planning goals. Rather than think about a total population, we need to think about how we want to live, how we want others to live, and the resources required for our lifestyles. A population of 2- billion, rather than 8 billion, would be more sustainable.   Best practices in family planning have three key elements  that vary in composition and impact: education for women and girls; access to a full range of reproductive services and changing social dynamics so that women are key to any family planning activities  Studies show that the GDP may decline as population drops, but the per capita GDP will rise. The Social Security crunch could be alleviated by raising the earnings cap. The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) and UN population conferences are critical to help educate and inform people about family planning services.  

The Kotuku Quintet return to the stage to conclude our Spring series with a programme of two Mozart quintets featuring different instrument combinations. The first work is the Largo-Allegro moderato movement of the Quintet in E-flat, K.452. This quintet was originally scored for piano and woodwind—oboe, clarinet , horn and bassoon but here we have an arrangement for piano and string quartet. Next we have Mozart's String Quintet no. 4 K. 516 with Louise Webster playing the second viola part. This quintet featuring 2 violas, was completed in May 1787 during the final illness of Mozart's father. The key of G minor has strong associations for Mozart with feelings of anguish and anxiety, as seen in the Symphony no. 40 and the Piano quartet K478. The addition of a second viola adds to the darker colour. The work is made up of 4 movements: I. Allegro II. Menuetto: Allegro III. Adagio ma non troppo IV. Adagio—Allegro The final movement unexpectedly launches into an ebullient Allegro in G major in stark contrast with what has come before. It has been described as ‘like turning on the lights and laughing after a perfectly convincing ghost story'. The Kotuku Quintet are: Simon Ansell (violin), John Seager (violin), Judith Gust (viola), Sally-Anne Brown (cello), Louise Webster (piano, viola)

Today's guest: - John Seager is President & CEO of Population Connection, a grassroots nonprofit and nonpartisan organization for population stabilization.

Population growth in the U.S. has slowed to its lowest rate since the 1930s according to recent Census data. How should we think about changes in our population size? On this episode, we talk with John Seager, who has written a book on population dynamics and is president and CEO of the nonprofit organization Population Connection.

John Seager, President and CEO of Population Connection - a non-profit, non-partisan group that works for the goal of Population Stabilization.

Could we be trying to increase peace through speech or action, but forget about the planet's ability to handle population growth? Most contemporary estimates for the carrying capacity of the Earth are between 4 and 16 billion people. Depending on which estimate is used, human overpopulation may or may not have already occurred. The United Nations estimates the world human population is over 7 billion today. We discuss the impact of population on peace and what people can do about it. Guests include Dr. Nazli Choucri, Professor of Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; her work is in sustainable development and violence. Also, John Seager, President and CEO of Population Connection which works to ensure that every woman around the world who wants to delay or end childbearing has access to the health services and contraceptive supplies she needs in order to do so. Suzanne Kryder hosts.

Offering insights and guidance from prominent academics and journalists, The Good Crisis: How Population Stabilization Can Foster a Healthy U.S. Economy -Population Connection: 2016- takes on one of today's most pressing challenges: keeping our aging population healthy, productive, and prepared for today's technologically-focused jobs. At the same time, today's youth must be prepared for productive futures through education, skills training, and delayed parenthood. Dispelling anxieties about the impact of slowing population growth on Social Security, commerce, and society, this collection of essays presents innovative and practical solutions to issues from labor shortages to fossil fuel dependence. Backed by extensive research and real-world examples, The Good Crisis presents a path to a more productive, sustainable world. Tune in as we talk with John Seager, one of the book's authors and President and CEO of Population Connection.

Peter Gleick researches water and water policy at the Pacific Institute. In addition to co-founding the Pacific Institute, Gleick is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, has won a MacArthur Genius Fellowship for his work, and has been instrumental in the United Nation's designation of water as a human right. I learned about Peter through Lawrence Torcello, who you can hear in episode 29 of The Conversation. Unsurprisingly, this conversation is generally about water, though we also spoke about population in more detail than any interview since John Seager. You will also catch a few oblique glimpses of the philosophy of science as I ask Peter about the importance of cultural beliefs versus scientific knowledge in determining policy.

On this episode Broad Topics Radio don't miss our panel on "Parenting Children with Special Needs". Joining host Laura Nickerson are Gina Vivona and Kate Movius, both mothers of children with special needs, and Dr. Laurie Stephens from Education Spectrum (www.edspec.org). Also joining the show are Luly B, author of "Balance is Bull$h!t" (www.lulyb.com) and John Seager from Population Connection (www.populationconnection.org), plus Body Language Expert Mark Edgar Stephens (www.markedgarstephens.com) calls in to give tips on how to project confidence.

John Seager is the President of Population Connection, formerly Zero Population Growth. Since its founding in 1968, Population Connection has been America's largest grassroots organization dedicated to the question of overpopulation. Prior to his work at Population Connection, John worked for the EPA and in congressional politics. Population has been a regular theme in The Conversation but has not been well developed in previous episodes. John remedies that. He also argues that overpopulation results primarily from gender inequality and a lack of access to affordable contraception—education and affluence matter, but they are secondary to equality. Combatting overpopulation is often thought of in centralized and draconian terms, but John feels that population levels will naturally plateau if individuals are allowed to freely choose the size of their families. Does this make you think of the Constitutional questions discussed in Roberta Francis' episode? Early in The Conversation, Alexander Rose mentioned his concern that a declining population could threaten our economic system. That question surfaced again, albeit in a slightly different guise, when I spoke to John Fullerton about the challenge of decelerating the economy—though we did not talk about population decline, it's worth asking if our appraisals of corporate value assume a growing population.  Seager also gives us another perspective on the ideological purity and social pragmatism discussion that Neil and I had at the end of Gary Francione's episode. Like Francione, Seager is a moral realist in certain areas—gender equality being one—but he also embraces incremental change and makes a case for the word "opportunism." Are purity and pragmatism a false binary? Are they equally effective (or ineffective) modes of achieving social goals? Micah, Neil and I will talk about this more at the end of the episode. One last connection to leave you with: Robert Zubrin. Zubrin claims that overpopulation is a false concept and that, with sufficient freedom and creativity, we can support ever greater populations. Does this make him at odds with Seager? Or does Seager's emphasis on individual freedom and choice make his ideas compatible with Zubrin's? We don't know.

Feature #1: The Dust Bowl (start time 6:53) As bad as the drought has been recently in Colorado and other states, it pales in comparison to the nearly 10-year-long drought of the 1930s. Its unrelenting and gargantuan dust storms inspired the name “The Dust Bowl.” In southeast Colorado and other Great Plains states, children died of dust pneumonia. Thousands of cattle died or were slaughtered. Hundreds of thousands of people were forced to flee their homes. It came to be called “the worst man-made ecological disaster in American history.” On November 18th and 19th PBS will air a four-hour documentary called “The Dust Bowl.” It was directed by Ken Burns and written and co-produced by author Dayton Duncan. How On Earth co-host Susan Moran talks with Duncan about the film and the lessons learned --or not learned -- from The Dust Bowl. Feature #2: Zero Population (start time 15:58)  John Seager, CEO of the nonprofit Population Connection, discusses with How On Earth co-host Ted Burnham about the organization's efforts to help American citizens and politicians understand the environmental and other implications of the ever-expanding global human population. John will speak this Friday at the CU campus in Boulder. His presentation is titled, “Soaring Past 7 Billion: Population Challenges for a Crowded World.” Hosts: Ted Burnham and Susan Moran Producer: Susan Moran Engineer: Maeve Conran Executive Producer: Jim Pullen Listen to the show:
