Host Mary Jacobsen interviews Beth Wechsler, LICSW and national educator on scientific research on parapsychology (psi), about types of psychic experiences being studied, including Near Death Experiences and After Death Communication, among others, and the impacts these have on people.

“Real parapsychology,” Wechsler has said, “carries profoundly important implications for our understanding of life.” Research reveals, she notes, that “minds can do things that cannot be readily explained by our current scientific knowledge.”

Also appearing on the show is Suzanne Dubus, CEO of the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center, who talks about a brand new format for this year’s 9th Annual White Ribbon event, part of a worldwide movement for human rights that engages men and boys to help end gender violence.

Starting on March 22nd, the Center will release a new video every day featuring staff, board members, donors, and community members talking about the White Ribbon campaign and the services offered by the Geiger Center.

Dr. Howard Ashford, Professor with the Africana and Latinx Studies Department at SUNY/Oneonta, speaks with host Mary Jacobsen on this episode of the “Morning Show” to discuss the issue of Reparations for descendants of enslaved African Americans.

A panel within the U.S. House Judiciary Committee recently passed a measure to advance to the full House a vote on HR 40 – which would create a commission to examine slavery and discrimination in the United States from 1619 to the present – and would recommend ways to educate Americans about its findings and suggest possible remedies and compensation.

Host Mary Jacobsen interviews Dr. Ashford about the significance of “40” in the bill’s title, and about the chapters of racial history – from slavery to the failure of Reconstruction to segregation and to redlining – that have contributed to an enduring and extreme wealth gap between white and Black Americans. Dr. Ashford also talks about proposals for eliminating the gap, and arguments for and against them.
