SCOTUScast - Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee – Post-Argument SCOTUScast

On March 2, 2021 the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee. The questions before the court were: first, whether Arizona’s out-of-precinct policy, which does not count provisional ballots cast in person on Election Day outside of the voter’s designated precinct, violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act; and, second, whether Arizona’s ballot-collection law, which permits only certain persons (i.e., family and household members, caregivers, mail carriers and elections officials) to handle another person’s completed early ballot, violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act or the 15th Amendment.
Derek Muller, Professor of Law at University of Iowa's College of Law, joins us today to discuss this case's oral argument.

Time To Say Goodbye - Loving Guam, fighting empire with Julian Aguon

Hello from the imperial U.S.A.!

Our special guest this week is the CHamoru activist attorney and writer Julian Aguon. Julian calls in from Guam to talk about his new book, The Properties of Perpetual Light, which comes out at the end of the month. (Pre-order it for you and a friend!)

Julian reads from the book and talks about:

* Developing his voice as a writer and mixing genres: from poetry to political commentary to personal essay;

* Guam/CHamoru identity and attempts to build solidarity with other colonized and indigenous peoples across the world;

* His work as a lawyer with Blue Ocean Law;

* Guam as a hotspot of climate change and militarization;

* How Guam, as a U.S. colony, is often stuck in the old and ongoing U.S.-China conflict.

For more, check out:

* Julian’s 2017 piece (In These Times) on Guam in the crosshairs of U.S.-North Korean saber rattling;

* Julian’s recent book talk at American University;

* Reporting by Chris Gelardi and Sophia Perez (The Nation) on how people in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands are fighting U.S. militarism.

Life Raft - What If We Just…Made Our Houses Float?

With flood risk increasing and flood insurance rates likely following suit, it seems like there's got to be a better way to tackle the challenge.

For example: could we make our homes float when the water comes?

This week we talk to an architect who has devoted her professional life to that question, and we visit a Louisiana community where some people have decided that it makes more sense to temporarily float a house than to elevate it on stilts.

Want to help shape the future of Life Raft? We’re looking for feedback on our first season. Filling out this (super short) survey will really help us understand how we can best serve you. If you include your contact info, you’ll be entered into a raffle to win a prize from WWNO or WRKF.

While we figure out what the future holds, we’d love to extend the biggest and warmest thank you to everyone who made this possible. Thanks, especially, to everyone for listening, and for submitting the questions that made this show possible.

In the meantime, follow us on social media. We’re on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

And if you like what you hear from Life Raft, consider making a donation to WRKF or WWNO to help keep the show going!

Support for WWNO’s Coastal Desk comes from the Greater New Orleans Foundation, the Walton Family Foundation, and listeners like you.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Reconciled to it: America’s stimulus bill

Thanks to a parliamentary contortion called reconciliation, the $1.9trn covid-relief plan is likely to sail through—we examine what is in it and what its passage portends for lawmaking in the Biden era. Unrest is unusual in Senegal, but citizens are out in force; we ask about the roots of the protest mood. And what ever happened to bespoke ringtones?

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S4 E10: Steve Caldwell, Mandolin

Steve Caldwell lives in Louisville, Kentucky - but grew up in South Louisiana, in cajun country. In the 90's he loved seeing things he typed on the screen come to life, as he built website in Frontpage 95. As he got into his 20's, he wanted to jump into professional dev. He's got 3 kids in elementary school - so with the pandemic, its been quite interesting having everybody at home. He's relatively new to Kentucky, but hopes to get out and do the bourbon trail when the timing is right. He enjoys playing music, composing, and DJ'ing.

As he puts it, he enjoys combining his passion for music with his passion for technology. In startup land, you have to be able to adlib and be flexible to change, understand your customers, and to skate where the puck is so to speak. Its the same in music - feeling the crowd, responding to your band, etc. - which is a really interesting parallel.

As the COVID pandemic decimated live music events, Steve was caught in a related riff. He found himself networking for his next gig, and while doing so, started to chat with his now co-founders about a new opportunity... where musicians could interact with fans in new ways.

This is the creation story of Mandolin.
