The Word: What Is Repressed Will Have Its Revenge

Annika & I have a wonderful conversation that begins with the topic of television, and specifically new entries for 2014. We begin debating Lindsay Lohan's new show on OWN and somehow that leads us to a discussion of art. What is art? Are Reality Shows art? Annika says it's all "bullshit", but (of course) I argue for a more forgiving view.

Also, Annika brings her latest angle, and the headlines appear at the top of the hour.

Note!- For about the first 2 minutes of the programme Rosemary Clooney drowns me out. I have re-posted this multiple times and their seems to be nothing I can do. Sorry!

The Word: Is "Lindsay" Art?

This is part one of our special Series On Apartheid. As the leaders of the various anti-Apartheid movements pass away, we take the time to look back at one of the most interesting and unusual periods in Human History. 

In part one, we trace the origins of the Apartheid system back 1400's HRE, when Roman legal concepts entered the Low Countries. We then continue through the colonization of the Cape Colony by Dutch, French, and finally British forces. I discuss the various independent Boer republics, and how these efforts were extinguished by the most powerful empire in the world. 

Finally, I explore how the repression of the Boer people could have laid the groundwork for the Apartheid racial ideology that would emerge more than 40 years after the last Afrikaaner state was conquered.

Let's Learn Together!

Announcement Concerning The Series On Apartheid

In this compilation that celebrates the first year of public affairs programme "The Word," I revisit the guests, stories, and conversations that have defined 2013 and 2014.

In 2013, I took the leap and decided to initiate a project that I thought about for quite a few years. I took a passion for information, a life's mission to educate, and a well-developed ideology to give birth to "The Word". I hope that every person who has come into contact with this conversation has loved, and most of all, learned from it.

If it's not reaching, it's not teaching, and I thank the Universe that I still am able to continue these projects.

Here's to another year of "The Word"

Celebrating One Year Of The World!

Outtakes & bloopers from the first year of "The Word"!

The Word Year 1 Outtakes

The second year of "The Word" begins with an author interview. Joining me is Rajee Narinesingh, the author of "Beyond Face Value," released in the wake of her world-wide fame. 

In addition to discussing why she decided to write the book when she did, we discuss her darkest moments, and how she is able to muster the will to survive, despite violence, hate, and prejudice. 

"Beyond Face Value" is one of the best memoirs I have ever read, and certainly one of the most enjoyable books I have read this year! Rajee shares several fun anecdotes from her life, as well as reviewing events that occur in the book. 

Please join us for this very special edition of "The Word"!
