Sonic Overload 10/8/12

Columbus Day—for the third year in a row, I start the show with a public service announcement, for which I downloaded the audio, urging people to reconsider the celebration of Columbus Day since, in essence, it’s a celebration of genocide. As with many events in history, they’ve been whitewashed and the truth obscured. I’m sure many of my beloved listeners already know about it, but you should definitely read Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States for a much different take on what’s happened on this continent since 1492. And, if you’re a parent, there’s a version for younger people, as well.

I’ll be off for vacation next week and will return on 10/22. First time I’ve missed a week in four years. Why not go on the archive and check out some of the older shows while you’re waiting for the next one.
