Interview with Rev Jesse Jackson by Christopher Heron April 2018

Today marks the 50th Anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King.  In commemoration of this historic event, Christopher Heron, host of Mind Soul & Spirit conducted an interview with Reverend Jesse Jackson.

Rev Jackson speaks of his love for gospel music (he grew up with Aretha Franklin).  Christopher asks him to contrast today’s “State of America” with that of the past.

Rev Jackson speaks of the humiliation of racism, the current “tug of war for the soul of america”, the dangers of “spending more money on militarism than on human rights leading to morally and spiritually bankrupting the nation”.  The importance of globalism – labor, capital, technology and human rights and states in the end it  is “character and caring – caring is the key – not limited to race, gender or religious persuasion.

Take a listen.

 

Interview with Christof Migone March 2018

CKUT intern Eve Fiertag looks at experimenting with the radio on the radio for this time capsule installment.  She speaks to ex CKUT Music Coordinator and Production Coordinator Christof Migone who participated at CKUT from 1987 – 92.  He also hosted the radio show “Dangers In Paradise” which he described as anything other than college rock.  He collaborated with Julia Loktev on a show called Body Map where they took the island of Montreal and imagined it as a reclining body and got people to call in so they could let them know what part of the body they were situated in.  He also collaborated with Margo Lane (also interviewed in this series) called Margo’s Intense Listening Corner.  As production coordinator he trained and motivated volunteers to create with sound and open up the possibilities of radio.
