Monday, we talk with Ismael Hossein-zadeh, professor of economics at Drake University, about the recently-passed financial reform bill. Too much regulation? Not enough? Just right? It's hard to know, given the complexity of the legislation. But with the help of two learned folks (Cathy Mansfield with the Drake Law School joins us next Monday), maybe we can sort it out.

Also on Monday, Sherry Borzo joins us to talk about her business, Storied Gifts.

Tuesday, Ed's on his own again talking about politics and the economy. A great starting point for that discussion is Richard Doak's recent column about the myth of job “creation.” Doak poses a provocative question: (1) “Has there ever been a more uninspiring choice for governor?” and makes an equally provocative statement: (2) “There is absolutely nothing a governor can do about the economy.” Agree? Disagree? Ed is pretty much with Doak on this one, but we welcome contrary opinions.

Also on Tuesday, Sam Tuomi tells us about the 48-hour Film Festival.

Wednesday, film maker Neil Wells joins us to talk about the film industry tax credit fiasco. Yes, with legal proceedings in progress, it's still an issue, sorry to say. Was the film tax credit an appropriate role of government? This one's not as black-and-white as you might think.

Thursday, Kathy Kelly is the co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence in Chicago and a Nobel Peace Prize nominee. She joins us in the studio for a discussion of her recent trip to Pakistan and Afghanistan, where she visited the victims of US drone attacks.

Also, Max Wellman talks about his upcoming concert at Hoyt Sherman, and we give away two tickets to the August 12th Best of City Screening and Awards Ceremony for the 48-Hour Film Festival.

So join us Monday – Thursday for the fusion of politics and civility at 98.3 WOW-FM and online. Call (515) 312-0983 or (866) 908-TALK to participate in the conversation.  You can hear the show as a podcast, too, and please help support local progressive talk radio with a donation through Pay Pal or by check to PO Box 13421, Des Moines, IA 50310. And don’t forget to listen to Bradshaw, weekdays from 1:00-4:00. Thanks!

Ed and Lynn Fallon
