Ten years ago, Salt Lake City opened its doors to the world with the Winter Olympic Games and Monday, Doug is joined by NPR's Howard Berkes and KUER's reporting team Terry Gildea, Andrea Smardon and Dan Bammes for a look back at 2002. We'll talk about the battle to get and keep the games, the economics of hosting an international sporting event and what it's all meant for the Beehive State.
It takes a lot of work to stay afloat in today's ultra-connected world. Every day we face a torrent of emails, tweets, texts, tags, alerts, comments, pokes and posts. The writer William Powers believes that all those digital demands increasingly distract us from ourselves, from an inner place where time isn't so fugitive and the mind can slow down. He proposes a new digital philosophy that accounts for our needs to connect and for time apart, and he'll talk with Doug about it. (Rebroadcast)
As new bands scramble for on-line attention with digital downloads, the Provo-based duo The Moth & The Flame are taking a different tack. Brandon Robbins and Mark Garbett aren't just about making music. They also want to create an aesthetic around their debut CD. They've called the cover art the opening track of their album and to make sure you see it, you can only buy their music in its physical form. Thursday, they'll join us in studio to talk about their collaboration and play their music.
