On tonight’s show we’ll look at …
… The detrimental effects of anxiety, fear and anger occurring when any group focuses on differences between themselves and others, even if those differences are imagined or artificially created.
… And, we will look back over millennia to help us understand this issue in our current day.
We also talk about the First Voice Apprenticeship Program, producers of Full Circle. We’re looking for new apprentices. Apply any time between now until February 23, 2018, at 5:00pm. (See below for details.) More than ever, we all need to raise our voices!
All that tonight on Full Circle.
