Synopsis

Uncommon Conversations is a weekly radio program with Hosts, Maryam Zar and John Harlow, about the issues of our time. Big or small, sexy or mundane, generational or timeless, some events shape our time and loom large in our minds. These conversations craft the world we live in and help give our thoughts texture, open our eyes to new perspectives and make us consider points of view we never thought we could. Uncommon Conversations seeks to bring forward unique guests and engage with them to have the kinds of conversation we all wish we could have around our coffee tables. We will engage community voices and seasoned pros to discuss the common issues that touch our lives, but in uncommon ways that brings depth and perspective to the issues we all grapple with. Whether its parenting or side-walk vending, global politics or humanitarian tragedies, local conversations can have global impact and they can shape the way we live. What we narrate as a generation at our dinner tables shapes the world that unfolds in generations to come. Lets be part of crafting that future, by taking the time to have the uncommon conversations we all crave. Tune in Thursdays at 11am on LA Talk Radio (latalkradio.com). Be part of the narrative that shapes your life.

    Our first guest is the film maker, Janice Engel whose newest documentary is a focus on the life and times of Molly Ivins. Molly was a columnist and political commentator who made waves critiquing politicians and elected officials, with a searing whit and a good natured gfaww that made her uniquely Texan. “Raise Hell” is a remarkably good film about an extraordinary woman, whose life and times are strikingly applicable to today. Watch: youtu.be/7h9U0b8SHlU Nick Melvoin, LAUSD Board VP joins us to talk about guns, vaping, mental health, homelessness, guns and budget. Nick looks back at the good will that was generated after the successful negotiated end to the LA teachers strike in January 2019, and the budgeting windfall from the State that did not happen. Still, the board has made great strides toward improved outcomes, better school safety and a big investment in mental health, with 29 new LAUSD schools having full time health aides now to assist in mental health support.
