Coming soon: Counterpoint with Scott Harris
Manage episode 439037775 series 3598936
I'm Scott Harris, a 30-year radio veteran and host of Counterpoint, a weekly radio program and podcast. Each week my guests and I discuss a wide range of local, national and international political, economic, social and environmental issues from progressive perspectives that are all too often ignored or marginalized in corporate media.
Counterpoint has been broadcast on WPKN Radio in Bridgeport, CT for many years, featuring analysis and commentary from activists, authors, journalists and scholars on issues of the day we're all concerned about, but not widely covered in corporate media.
Each Counterpoint interview ranges from 20-30 minutes, enough time to engage in in-depth conversations, where we're able to go way beyond the usual 20-second soundbites found on most radio and TV news outlets. In our conversations, we emphasize historical context to better understand the issues discussed, as well as provide listeners with resources and options to take effective action to address the issues we examine.
Some interview segments featured on Counterpoint are edited for re-broadcast on our nationally syndicated Between The Lines Radio Newsmagazine, that's broadcast on 70 radio stations each week.
Here are some excerpts of recent conversations with Counterpoint's guests:
• Jason Stanley, professor of philosophy at Yale University, author of How Fascism Works, and Ruth Ben Ghiat, professor of history at New York University, author of Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present examine the Trump-MAGA-GOP threat to democracy and their explicit plan to impose a fascist state
• David Pepper, former chair of the Ohio Democratic party and author of Laboratories of Autocracy, commented on the current GOP drive in many states to impose minority rule
• Andra Watkins, New York Times best-selling author who’s devoted many months researching and dissecting Project 2025 and its links to white Christian nationalism
• Bradley Onishi, author of Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism talked about the right-wing war against democracy and embrace of political violence
• Dana Drugmand, an environmental journalist examined the section of Project 2025 that details Trump's plan for environmental and climate catastrophe
• Trita Parsi, executive vice president, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, on Benjamin Netanyahu's use of state violence to maintain his grip on power, risking a costly Middle East war that could entrap the U.S.
These interview excerpts are just a sample of the topics and guests you'll hear on Counterpoint each week, but the issues we regularly cover on the program go way beyond what you've heard here.
