Highlights

Sun. This week on “The Heart and the Hand” with Orlando Montoya: Laughter is carbonated holiness — stories that both lighten and enlighten. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times — celebrating progress in regressive times. The hard file — what goes in it. Plus all the regular segments, including natural silence and world religions. That’s “The Heart and the Hand” from 9-11am and “The Heart and the Hand Music Hour” from 12-1pm on WRUU 107.5 FM and WRUU.ORG.12/16/2018

Listening to Literature

Fri. 12:06 pm. To start the new season, Leigh Rich and P. T. Bridgeport discuss the just-completed Hanukkah season, with expert help and a story by Isaac Peretz. The Festival of Lights goes back to 100+ years before Christ, when the Seleucid emperor Antiochus IV made a grave political miscalculation. A. E. Houseman tells us he died old, but what did he do before that, and why has it echoed through history to this day? P. T. Bridgeport creates a mare’s nest of literature, culture, history, and poetry, and Leigh Rich straightens it all out for you. Plus, Leigh and P.T. look at literature worth giving as Christmas presents.12/14/2018
