The Goods from the Woods - Episode #201 – “American Gladiators” with Jeff May
In this episode, we're celebrating the Fourth of July (aka Dr. Pat's Birthday!) with our good friend and TWO TIME guest of the show, comedy's Jeff May! This episode is all about the early 90's smash hit television show 'American Gladiators' which ran for 139 episodes from 1989 until 1996. Dr. Pat and Jeff both happen to be experts on the topic of this show which represented a time period in which America was truly at "peak Florida". Absolutely everything was spandex and neon and everyone was rocking mall hair and a beef jerky tan. Jeff even ate at the 'American Gladiators' restaurant: American Gladiators Orlando Live!. This episode is totally ridiculous and we can't wait for y'all to hear it. Just don't be like Malibu and watch out for that human cannonball! Follow Jeff on all forms of social media @HeyThereJeffro. Song of the week is "Freedom of '76" by Ween.

Opening Arguments - OA188: Three Cases About Voting Rights
Today's episode takes a look at three recent decisions from this Supreme Court and how each one will affect voting in the midterm elections: Husted v. Randolph Institute, Abbott v. Perez, and (surprisingly) Janus v. AFSCME. First, though, we begin by addressing a conspiracy theory that's making the rounds suggesting some nefarious relationship between Anthony Kennedy's son, Justin, and Donald Trump. Does this story hold water? Listen and find out! Then, we break down each of the three cases: Husted, involving Ohio's efforts to purge voters from its rolls; Abbott, involving Texas's efforts to racially gerrymander Congressional districts; and Janus, which will result in drastically weaker public sector unions. What does this mean for the midterms? (Hint: it's not good.) Finally, we end the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #82 regarding the search and seizure of heroin from plain sight. Remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE! Recent Appearances Thomas was just a guest on Episode 421 of the Cognitive Dissonance Podcast. If you'd like to have either of us as a guest on your show, drop us an email at openarguments@gmail.com.

Start the Week - British culture and European influence
Britain has imported its culture from Europe for generations. Andrew Marr presents a special edition from Hatchlands Park in Surrey, home to the Cobbe Collection of musical instruments including pianos owned by Chopin, Mahler and Marie Antoinette.
Frederic Chopin had a pan-European career. He swapped his native Poland for Paris, fled to Mallorca in search of sunshine and inspiration, and toured Britain twice, complaining bitterly about the 'crafty' locals and 'dreadful' British weather. But he had a huge impact on the musical scenes he left behind. Paul Kildea charts Chopin's journey across Europe. Sitting at the keys of Chopin's own piano, Kildea explains how this visionary composer shaped Romanticism.
European composers and performers in Britain faced a tougher reception in the wake of two world wars. In her new book, Singing in the Age of Anxiety, Laura Tunbridge depicts the contradictions of a generation that viewed Wagner as a cultural high-point - but decried all things German as enemy propaganda. At the same time radio and gramophones dramatically altered the way people heard and responded to music.
The digital world offers vast new audiences, but also brings new challenges to those in the arts. Munira Mirza is Director of HENI Talks, an online platform that aims to share cultural information and understanding with much wider audiences. By combining leading experts and world-famous works such as the Mona Lisa, she wants to take art outside the gallery. As former Deputy Mayor for Culture in London, Mirza envisages a future in which we have a truly international cultural scene.
