Launching: A Tour to Organize for REVOLUTION

Received via email.  We Recommend: Friday, March 1, 2019 10 - 11 AM - PDT The Michael Slate Show KPFK 90.7 FM  |  Listen Live Website  Twitter,  Facebook This week's show: Support The Michael Slate Show These are times like none of us have lived through. The dangers and challenges faced by humanity are unprecedented, and hopes for a future that we would want to live in can seem like a faint sliver of light.  These are times when actually understanding the world as it is, without illusion or despair, is crucial. The Michael Slate Show presents an understanding grounded in a scientific framework. This is the kind of program you need to engage with, share and support. And KPFK is a station, a precious resource, that needs to thrive. This can only happen with your support. KPFK is in the middle of its Winter Fund Drive. Call in and show your support. Call 818-985-5735 during the show, or go online at kpfk.org.  The West Coast Premiere of Hype Man, at the Fountain Theatre We'll sit down with Chad Addison, Matthew Hancock and Clarissa Thibeaux, the three actors in the play Hype Man, having its West Coast premiere at the Fountain Theatre. We'll be offering tickets to the play as part of the fund drive. Hype man Verb has been backing up front-man rapper Pinnacle since they were kids. Then beat maker Peep One joined the group. Now just as they are on the verge of making it big on national TV, a police shooting of a Black teen shakes the band to its core, forcing them to confront questions of race, gender, privilege and when to use artistic expression as an act of social protest. Social injustice, the genocidal police murder of Black people, racial identity, gender inequity, career ambition and friendship converge — and collide — in Hype Man. Hype Man is the third in Goodwin’s series of “break beat” plays about hip-hop in America and the way that hip-hop has affected our personal relationships, dreams and aspirations, and politics.
