Denise Morris Hosts this Episode of the Old Mole which includes

  • Bill Resnick talks to Steve Bloom, a worker, a poet, a Marxist intellectual who never entered the academy. In his writings Steve Bloom has been discussing the sea-change in U.S. political consciousness, such that people discuss the 99% and the 1% and that Bernie Sanders can call himself a Democratic Socialist and win primary elections across the country. Bill and Steve will talk about how the left can operate to build movements that could prevail as our current system moves into deeper economic and environmental crises.
  • Is the complete, unvarnished truth always essential to happy/successful partnerships and families, or do small omissions and/or white lies sometimes play an essential role in even the best of families. These and other questions are taken up in Kristy Woodson Harvey’s lighthearted little novel, Lies and Other Acts of Love.
  • Denise Morris revisits Robert Drew’s 1960 Documentary film Primary, the Bern/Hiliary campaign and objectivity in reporting.
