Proposals To Fix Gridlock On The 101 Freeway
Guest host Jon Beaupre talks with Los Angeles 4th District City Councilman Tom LaBonge about the citizens advisory panel that he created to identify 70 little fixes that could help relieve gridlock cheaply and quickly on the 101 freeway.
Martha Stewart
Ever since Martha Stewart was charged with lying to the feds about a transaction that netted her a $45,000, she’s been the subject of much media skewering and schadenfreude. Meanwhile corporate execs like WorldCom’s Bernard Ebbers and Enron’s Jeffrey Skilling have been charged with mishandling billions, but have received little media or public attention as of late. Were Martha Stewart’s prosecutors overzealous, and has the media treated her unfairly? Or does Martha Stewart’s conviction signal the end to free rides for corporate criminals? AirTalk guest host Jon Beaupre lets listeners weigh in, and talks with David Gardner, co-host of the Motley Fools Radio Program.
Marriage
Lately, there has been a great deal of discussion about marriage, and who can get married. The discussion begs a deeper look at the whole institution of marriage. How has marriage evolved and changed over the years? Who got married and why? Experts Stephanie Coontz, a family historian at Evergreen State College in Washington State, Douglas Kmiec, professor of constitutional law at Pepperdine University, and Frank Furstenberg, Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, join guest host Jon Beaupre to discuss marriage.
Mary Black
Renowned Irish singer Mary Black comes to UCLA’s Royce Hall on Thursday, March 25th. Guest Host Jon Beaupre talks with the singer who has sold more albums than U2 and Sinead O’Connor.
