This week on Celtic Songlines, Ireland's Fullset opens the program and is followed by tunes from the exciting trio Inver. Guitarist Arty McGlynn shows why he was one of the most influentional musicians in the modern era--ditto for vocalist Christy Moore. Scotland's The Shee join the program too, along with Solas, Karan Casey & John Doyle, Toni and David Arthur, and the Old Blind Dogs.
During the always special month of March, Celtic Songlines will feature artists' performances of traditional tunes and the sometimes contemporary twist to "trad" music. The exploration of traditional Celtic songs and arrangements is always fascinating, as is listening to the musicians' special talents and skills. They interpret and rearrange traditional songs and tunes to place their own stamp on the music.

We hear a lot about teen bullying, but this research from the University of California, Davis, is new: It says most such bullying occurs among peers climbing the social ladder, and the “highest rates of bullying occur between friends, and between friends of friends.” As if junior high weren’t difficult enough.
Today I talk with sociology Professor Robert Faris about why this happens—it’s “driven by this pursuit of something that is so ephemeral: popularity in high school,” he says—and what to do about it. Many conventional anti-bullying efforts, Faris continues, aren’t working. Churning, low-quality friendships contribute to the abuse, but solid and stable friendships can be part of the cure.
The report's co-authors are sociologists Diane Felmlee at Pennsylvania State University and Cassie McMillan at Northeastern University.

Join us for Pets on Cannabis, where we interview veterinarian Dr. Conny Mosely, boarded anesthesiologist and co-founder of the Canadian Association of Veterinary Cannabinoid Medicine, established in 2018 to educate fellow veterinarians on the use of cannabis with pets.
In this episode, we’ll discuss what kind of pets can benefit from cannabis - from dogs and cats to horses. We’ll also learn the similarities and differences between how humans and animals process cannabis as well as the differences between animals themselves. We’ll then dive into the types of ailments that cannabis can help alleviate in pets as well as how to dose and what to look for on the packaging. We’ll even get into the black market for cannabis pet products and how that affects our furry friends. If your fur baby suffers from arthritis or anxiety, this episode is for you. Thanks to Dr. Mosley for the interview. |
