Inspired by the viscerally provocative poem, "Here, Bullet" by Brian Turner, the art song of the same name by composer Kurt Erickson is, among many things, a plea for western classical arts spaces to directly address gun violence. This composition inspired multi-disciplinary artist Will Chase to write a screenplay, which will be the foundation for an upcoming short film. Both Kurt and Will join Garrett (1:02:00) to unpack the inspirations and challenges of this work, along with its context within the framework of "classical" music. Scott highlights a work by Phillip Glass and cites excerpts from "Stuff White People Like", Garrett addresses opera's latest use of blackface, and the guys talk "big steps" in the finale.

In this episode we bring you the first in a series of shows dedicated to the different MOSs and AFSCs in the Washington National Guard. We will have a guest on who is in a certain job field to talk all about it, what it's like and what people can look forward to if they are interested in going that route in their careers. Before battles are fought and targets are destroyed, critical information needs to be gathered about our adversaries in order for our military leaders to make informed decisions. The majority of that information is gathered from foreign language sources. Staff Sergeants David Larson and Kurt Erickson are both intelligence professionals with foreign language skills. Larson speaks Japanese and Erickson speaks Russian. We talk about how they train and excel in their language, the different countries they've traveled to for language immersion training, the valuable world-class education they received from the Defense Language Institute, and most importantly how they use their language skills to gather vital foreign intel needed to make critical wartime decisions.

Andy Ockershausen, Our Town Podcast HostAndy Ockershausen: This is Andy Ockershausen and you're listening to Our Town. Season one of Our Town was a complete success. We interviewed over 50 guests, including some of our favorite people like Sonny, I don't have to say Sonny who, you know, Chip Akridge, Frank Harden, Frank Herzog, Regardie, I don't even have to say his first name, Catherine Meloy, Susan Lacz and Harry Jaffe.

So we'll have them and many more. The amazing part of Our Town is we've heard from hundreds of friends and people whether it's on the street, whether it's in a dinner party, whether it's in church, they all have been listening to Our Town. People come to us out of the blue and say, "We've heard what you're doing and we love it. We want so and so and so and so." We've had tons of recommendations from people to be guests on Our Town and we try to accommodate most of them, but right now we'd like to acknowledge and thank our friends at GEICO, for underwriting Our Town.

Some very important people like Christine Brennan. Christine Brennan in studio during Our Town interviewChristine Brennan on Joe Gibbs Christine Brennan: I think you can make the case; the greatest coach in NFL history. I know that's saying a lot. Andy Ockershausen: He's got a record that proves that. Christine Brennan: Three Superbowls, three different quarterbacks. Andy Ockershausen: Three different teams. Christine Brennan: Right. Not one of those quarterbacks will ever make the hall of fame. Andy Ockershausen: I understand that. Christine Brennan: Yeah, Joe Theismann, Doug Williams. Andy Ockershausen: Don't tell Theismann that. Christine Brennan: It's our secret. Don't tell him. Joe, if you're listening, sorry pal. But Doug Williams and then Mark Rypien. Three different quarterbacks, not a one of them is good enough to be in the hall of fame and Joe Gibbs wins Superbowls with all three including two strike years. The coach is amazing and to deal with, on the record, he'd get mad about something, he'd call me at home angry about a headline, I said, "Joe, coach," I'd call him coach, "I don't write the headlines." He goes, "I know, I know, will you bring the guy that writes the headlines out here one day and let me talk to him?" You know, like there was one guy writing the headlines, there was probably fifteen people writing headlines. But we'd have this conversation,

Kurt Erickson is President of Washington Regional Alcohol Program(WRAP) and is Andy O’s guest in this all new episode of the Our Town podcast. Listen in as Kurt and Andy discuss the history of WRAP, how and why it came to be. They also discuss the good work done through WRAP regarding the issue of drinking and driving. Kurt Erickson was born in Boston and moved to Our Town in 1970 with his family when he was a child. He attended Radford University and afterward worked 10 years for the American Lung Association fighting against tobacco use in a state fueled - at the time - by tobacco. Kurt now lives with his wife and three children in a small town outside of Leesburg - Waterford, Virginia one of the oldest towns in Our Town. Kurt has been leading the non-profit WRAP as its President since 1999. WRAP takes the fight against drunk driving seriously- advocating for tougher penalties for repeat offenders as well as teaching the dangers of drinking and driving to school aged children. WRAP was founded in 1982 and was formed to fight drunk driving, drugged driving and underage drinking in the DC area. Kurt also heads up the WRAP's public and government relations initiatives by serving as a registered lobbyist before Maryland and Virginia's General Assemblies as well as the District of Columbia's City Council. Prior to WRAP, Kurt Erickson was Executive Director, public affairs director and registered lobbyist for the American Lung Association of Northern Virginia. (1988-1999) The common denominator in these two positions is prevention and youth. Erik is a hero in Our Town for taking on these issues on and helping us find solutions to these life or death problems. WRAP has offered many innovative ideas for ways to reduce drunk driving such as offering free cab rides through their program SoberRide especially during the holiday season and other busy times of the year. Andy points out that everyone sharing the roadways is impacted by the safety provided by this service. Not only may it prevent someone from killing themselves but it may prevent the deaths of others who are not impaired. Kurt Erickson recites a staggering statistics to Andy from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that a third of drunk driving victims are non-intoxicated motorists, non-intoxicated occupants of motor-vehicles, and non-intoxicated pedestrians. Kurt and Andy have a heart-to-heart discussion about the issues still plaguing our community when comes to alcohol and impaired judgement. The amount of drunk drivers on the road is still a huge concern in our town and around the entire country. We are losing 10,000 people a year to drunk driving. 70% of drunk drivers are men and the majority of accidents happen at night and on weekends. Andy opens up the discussion of the parent’s role in this drinking and driving problem. Parents have a big responsibility in underaged drinking and there are real penalties. Kurt Erikson understands the parents’ perspective to want to “keep the drinking all under one roof” or “where they can have their eye on things” but if these kids are then allowed to get in a car, the parents are ultimately responsible for whatever happens next. Kurt emphasizes that when it comes to alcohol, it is all about impaired judgement. There should be a designated exit route planned ahead of time. Thinking ahead is crucial to safety with alcohol. Personal responsibility is ultimately what it will take to make this problem. The cost for this problem is too high to tolerate any longer. Kurt applauds Andy and all of his support in the efforts of the WRAP. Andy calls drinking and driving “a national tragedy”. Andy recalls days when his buddies were not so pleased with him as he went against the fundamental philosophy of happy hour and allowing bars to stay open past midnight. We hope you have enjoyed this week’s episode of Our Town with Andy Ockershausen.
