62. Celebration and Controversy at the 2022 World Cup

Mon, 12/26/2022 - 4:26pm | Rohan

The FIFA World Cup is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world. The 2022 Men’s World Cup was held in Qatar and 32 countries competed, with Argentina emerging as the winner. We trace the history of the World Cup from its kick-off in 1930 in Uruguay to its 22nd tournament in Qatar and hear about Smart Balls, a folding stadium, a thrilling finale, and allegations of bribery and corruption. Sports writer Evan Ream shares his perspectives as he returns from a World Cup that was surrounded by controversy from the get-go. We then travel to Qatar, where its citizens are a minority, robot jockeys race camels, and the sea meets the desert.

The Next Noel with Billy Larkin, on Listening Lyrics, Dec. 23, 2022

Fri, 12/23/2022 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

This holiday CD is a rare beauty. There's such depth to this music, a limitless well of music and sounds. It defies a genre, but let's just say it's a mix of jazz, electronica, and classical. Ekimi is a duo originally from Cincinnati, comprised of Billy Larkin (piano and synthesizer) and Chris Dahlgren (bass, electronic sarod and percussions). Both Billy and Chris are classically trained. Billy joins me in the studio to share his thoughts on this truly wonderful CD.
