Radio highlights for Sunday (and one for Tuesday)

Radio highlights for Sunday. All of the programs are available online -- you can listen for free with no registration or "day pass." So what's going on today? You've got science and a look at the "Selfish Gene," you've got the topic of war resistors, Asian and Pacific Islander heritage month, independent bookstores . . . and more.

This evening on WBAI (time given is Eastern Time Zone):


Sun, May 28, 6:00 pm: Equal Time for Freethought
Funddrive Program: Religion, Science, Dubya and the "Selfish Gene." For this special fund drive program, we will be traveling along the crossroads of religion and science, and chatting a bit about the relevance of science for a progressive understanding of political activism, and we will perhaps delve a bit into how science may become politicized, even subtly. Offering as premium, Dr. Niles Eldredge's latest book,
Why We Do It: Rethinking Sex and the Selfish Gene.
