Wednesday night at 8 PM on Bibliocracy, KPFK 90.7 FM: JON
WIENER. Yes, broadcasting tonight from
the Center for the Study of Cool Progressive Historians, my guest is the host
of KPFK’s own terrific Wednesday afternoon public affairs and political and cultural
analysis hour, “The Four O’Clock Report.”
Professor Jon Wiener is also, of course, a professor of History at UC
Irvine, contributor to The Nation and
other magazines and newspapers, a celebrated historian-activist famous for his
work at annoying the FBI into releasing the records on their harassment of John
Lennon, and the author or editor of previous books including Gimme Some Truth, Historians in Trouble and Conspiracy
in the Streets. I could go on, but
you might just visit his website: http://jonwiener.com/. Jon Wiener has now written another popular
history book with, of course, a sense of purpose and sense of humor, this one
called, provocatively, How We Forgot the
Cold War: A Historical Journey Across
America. Wiener is one of my favorite writers, not to mention a favorite
voice on our (!) community radio station.
Thanks for listening to Bibliocracy on the radio, online or as a
download free for 90 days from the audio archives.
