Cryptocurrency has taken the world by storm. Depending on the day, digital currencies are now cumulatively valued at several trillion dollars. Financial and nonfinancial corporate executives, once dismissive, increasingly understand the importance of cryptocurrency and related technologies for the future. However, the federal government is only in the early stages of deciding how to regulate cryptocurrency, which could have enormous implications going forward. In this condensed conversation hosted by the Progressive Policy Institute, Congressman Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) provides some remarks on his experience in the field and where he sees his role as a Member of Congress in regulating this unprecedented technology. His remarks ignited a dynamic discussion with business leaders, including Dante Disparte, Circle's Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy, Kirsten Wegner, CEO of the Modern Markets Initiative and a Mosaic Project cohort member, and Michael Katz, Director of Legal, Digital Currency Group. PPI's Vice President and Chief Economist Michael Mandel moderated the conversation. Watch the full panel event here. Learn more about the Progressive Policy Institute here.

Our Audio Mosaic Project is under way! We're thrilled by the response so far to our first two prompts. If you haven't responded yet, we'd love to hear from you soon.  As a reminder, our prompts are: 1). Breathing in, breathing out 2). Being born And... we have a new prompt for you, too! 3). The sound of love About the project: Since we haven't been able to travel and collect sound for over a year now, your submissions will help us inform the sound of season four of our show. So submit to as many or as few prompts as you like, and your sounds may just end up in the next season of Threshold!  You can find details and sign up on our website: http://thresholdpodcast.org/audio-mosaic

We’re inviting you to join us in a new experiment we’re calling the Audio Mosaic Project. The sound of place has always been an important part of our show — think the chirps of crickets, the flow of water, the crunch of boots on snow. Using the noises we take for granted in the backgrounds of our lives, we bring listeners right there with us, to the places we report.   For over a year now, we haven’t been able to travel and get out into the world to collect sound. So as we work on season four of our show, we’re asking for your help to create that sense of auditory travel.    We’re releasing prompts that will give you audio collecting assignments. You don’t need any special equipment aside from your smart phone, and anyone can participate. You can submit to as many or as few prompts as you like, and your sounds may just end up in the next season of Threshold!  You can find details and sign up on our website: http://thresholdpodcast.org/audio-mosaic

This week on The Children's Hour, we explore the genre of science fiction with our musical friends from Ramah, New Mexico, MeriDean. This type of storytelling allows our imagination to become immersed in other worldly places, with advanced technologies, on exoplanets, or flying through space, and using actual science to help us believe the impossible. With excerpts of famous works of "Sci-Fi" like The War of the Worlds, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and Slaughterhouse Five, and original pieces recorded by masterful storytellers, we immerse ourselves in futuristic fantasy. Plus the kids in the Extinction Diaries update us about the Sumatran Tiger, and how our use of palm oil is hurting their chance for survival.

Empathy is often seen as the magic bullet against intolerance. But when we take on too much empathy for others it can be difficult to create emotional boundaries when it comes to our own needs. At the same time, when we put up emotional walls, we’re judged as being selfish, cold or “bossy.”**  ** Emily Abad is someone who was raised to always put others’ needs ahead of her own and not speak up for herself. She’s always struggled to find that perfect balance between empathy and assertiveness. When her religious father refused to accept her after she came out as gay, she was at a loss as to what to do. Then she began working with kids at the Mosaic Project, an experiential education program addressing issues of diversity, empathy, and conflict resolution. Hear how teaching kids the power of speaking their truth from a place of love helped Emily to find her own voice. This episode is brought to you in part by Banish skin care.

Terri Lyne Carrington arranged and produced Natalie Cole’s last recording titled “Come Sunday,” featured on Carrington’s current CD, The Mosaic Project: LOVE and SOUL, released in August 2015. “Come Sunday” is Duke Ellington’s sacred classic, which was originally made popular by Mahalia Jackson.  Terri initially met Natalie Cole as a teenager  Terri also performed with Ms. Cole on the concert stage.    The Mosaic Project: LOVE and SOUL presents Carrington leading a rotating cast of superb female instrumentalists and vocalists that includes Oleta Adams, Natalie Cole, Paula Cole, Lalah Hathaway, Chaka Khan, Chanté Moore, Valerie Simpson, Nancy Wilson, Jaguar Wright and Lizz Wright, as well as saxophonist Tia Fuller, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen; bassists Meshell Ndegoecello and Linda Oh; and keyboardists Geri Allen, Patrice Rushen and Rachel Z. On The Mosaic Project: LOVE and SOUL, Carrington juxtaposes her salute to female artists by paying homage to various male artists who have either influenced her professionally and/or informed her musicality, such as Nick Ashford, George Duke, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, Luther Vandross and Bill Withers. “Whenever I do something that celebrates women, I never want it to feel like it’s something that excludes men,” she explains. “On this record, I consciously wanted to celebrate the various relationships women have with men either through original songs of mine or cover songs by male composers and song writers.” The male presence and perspective on The Mosaic Project: LOVE and SOUL is even more realized by Billy Dee Williams, who contributes insightful spoken-word interludes through the disc.

By Adam Olenn | June 29, 2012 According to longtime Boston Globe music critic Steve Morse, 2011 alumna Shea Rose is "that rare artist who can bridge diverse styles such as soul, funk, rock, rap, and jazz—and bring her unique stamp to each." Rose has won awards ranging from R&B/Soul/Urban Contemporary Artist of the Year at the Boston Music Awards to the SESAC Performance Activity award, and was even featured on Terri Lyne Carrington's 2011 Grammy Award–winning jazz album The Mosaic Project. Rose was chosen by Queen Latifah to be the spokeswoman for CoverGirl's 2010 Ignite Your Persona campaign and in 2012 she won the Red Bull Soundstage fan-driven contest to perform as part of the Universal/Red Bull showcase at SXSW in Austin, Texas. Shea Rose will be performing live at Berklee Summer in the City on Wednesday, July 18, at 5:45 p.m. on Children's Wharf, 308 Congress Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts.
