Thu, 11 October 2007 Higher Education, the lower and middle class problem 2 of 2 What the Media Doesn't Tell You host, Larry Velvel, continues his discussion with Colleen O'Brien of the Pell institute, in Washington. The discussion focuses on the difficulties lower and middle income students have in college with not just financing the education, but dealing with the seeming culture shock of dealing with many who are far more affluent. O'Brien believes that colleges, especially top tier ones, need to do a great deal more to hel the less privileged students become comfortable in college so they can perform up to their abilities.

Thu, 4 October 2007 Age of Betrayal What the Media Doesn't Tell You host, Larry Velvel, interviews author Jack Beatty about his book, Age of Betrayal. Beatty's book centers on what was called the "Gilded Age," the latter decades of the 19th century in America. It was a time of both unparalleled opportunity and heinous discrimination and maltreatment of many. The discussion not only centers on this age, but on how it parallels our own time and how similarities in corporate manipulation have led to many of the same social ills that were extant in the late 1800's.
