World of Possibilities Podcast Looks with New Eyes at Iran, Rankism, Life after 50, & Living Green

Sept. 4, 2008 - PRLog -- The weekly radio show, A World of Possibilities, hosted by Mark Sommer, announces a new schedule of  audio podcasts on Good Politics Radio.  New programs will be podcast on September 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30 on the Good Politics Radio internet site, www.GoodPoliticsRadio.com but can be accessed any time after the initial posting.

The September 2 podcast is titled, “Nobody’s a Nobody: Renouncing Rankism, Defending Dignity.”  In this insightful and provocative conversation, Robert Fuller affixes the name "rankism" to the full range of diminishing behaviors that infect our personal and professional relationships and calls for the creation of a "dignitarian society" where legitimate differences of rank may remain but none serves as a weapon to demean another.

The September 9 podcast is titled, “Ancient Persia, Modern Iran: Radiance, Repression and Transcendence.”  Somewhere in the dream-like image of the Middle East, mystery and ignorance fuse to demonize Iran as an instigator of global terror and a threat to Western values. In truth, much of what we think of as American comes from the old Persian empire: Orange juice, coffee, reading newspapers and more. Join us to explore a culture twenty times older and no less worthy of respect than our own

The September 16 podcast is titled, “Second Chances: Finding Meaning and Purpose.”   Author and cultural anthropologist Angeles Arrien, who has written a wise guide to The Second Half of Life, asks probing questions about the elder quest when youthful ambition or abandon no longer suffice. This conversation, featuring a guest and host both on the cusp of their second half (or perhaps final third) of life, will resonate not only with those of a certain age when meaning meets mortality but those who came before or after who have confronted or will eventually face the same set of choices.

The September 23 podcast is titled, “Iraq Redux: The Consequences of a U.S. Attack on Iran.”  Four years after its war of choice on Iraq, the White House is once again planning an attack on a Muslim nation. This time it's Iran, a powerful and ancient culture with the world's second largest oil reserves. What would be the impact of a U.S. attack? Join us to assess the likely consequences of the Bush Administration's third war of choice on a Muslim country in six years.

The September 30 podcast is titled, “Green Chemistry: Solutions for a Toxic World.”  This program  delineates the vision of a green chemistry economy and how green chemistry is presenting solutions to toxic problems. Currently, there is woefully little research and development in the green chemistry field and there are no universities teaching it.  We need massive investments to make it viable. This program will feature leading researchers who can describe the nature and extent of work already being done in this newly emerging field.
