  1. Show 380: Lucinda Williams | Sound Opinions (WBEZ 91.5)

    For almost 4 decades, Lucinda Williams has been writing and performing music, without ever really fitting into any music industry labels. During this time she’s moved cities almost as many times as she’s moved labels. She’s released 10 studio albums, including the critically lauded Lucinda Williams for Rough Trade and Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. Many of her songs have tackled love, loss and liquor, but people have been noticing a sunnier side of Lucinda in recent years. She named her 2011 album Blessed, perhaps a nod to her 2009 marriage to manager Tom Overby. But, Lucinda insists she still has plenty of material, even if she’s in love. Maybe she’s just channeling the always optimistic, Tami Taylor. You can still hear the fire in songs like “Born to Be Loved,” “When I Look at the World,” and “Something Wicked This Way Comes.”

  4. Buildings old and new capable of big energy savings - The Science Show - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Most buildings are capable of large savings in energy consumption.

    The building sector is seen as being able to offer great reductions in energy use and so reductions in carbon emissions. In the UK the residential sector is considered as being able to offer a further 30% reduction over the next decade. Alex Summerfield describes a new approach to measuring energy use in buildings and the savings that are anticipated.

    Guests:
    Alex Summerfield, Honorary Researcher UCL Energy Institute, Brisbane Qld (https://iris.ucl.ac.uk/research/personal/index?upi=ASUMM34)

  5. Rap Genius Interviews Saul Williams

    Outside the Lines With Rap Genius has talked to a wide range of incredible people over the past few months. But this show is one of our absolute favorites. This conversation with poet, performer, musician, and actor Saul Williams is really special, and we hope you enjoy it!

    Williams, who had been an emcee since his teenage years, first rose to prominence on the slam poetry circuit, winning acclaim in the mid 1990’s. He was a co-writer and star of the award-winning 1998 film Slam, which increased his profile and led to him getting a record deal

    Williams’ first album, 2001’s Amethyst Rock Star, was a mind-blowing melding of poetry, hip-hop, and rock. That record and its follow-up, a self-titled 2004 album, were in part jeremiads about the state of hip-hop from someone who loved it but was severely disappointed in what it had become. Williams has released two more albums and four books of poetry over the years, and his latest work is a “literary mixtape” called Chorus
