Backbeat keeps rollin' along this week. We've got the Swanee River Boys (pictured) giving us a surprisingly hip gospel boogie, David Vest does a rollicking update on a song that's over a hundred years old, and there's the usual mix of blues, country jazz and gospel that you don't hear on the radio. Backbeat is also available in a 56 and 58 minute versions in three separate files if you want breaks. I am happy to provide custom station IDs, promos and liners.

Ed Reinhart alias Earl Dixon, has been “boogying” his way around Mendocino County for over three decades. He has been calling himself “Rico Suave” since his last trip to Ecuador. Reinhart is best know as the king of boogie-woogie and blues. With his release in the mid 90′s of “Got Some On My Fingers”, which featured tunes he crafted, the CD was a regional hit with all of his fans and it established him as a musical force locally. He has been the front man for many local boogie/R&B bands including the “Burning Sensations”. Recently Reinhart has been living in Italy and Virginia, we began our visit by asking him what had taken him to live away from Mendocino over the last few years. Ed Reinhart visited the Radio Curious studio on the January 12, 2009. The book he recommends is “The Pillars of the Earth,” by Ken Follett.

This week on the Global Research News Hour with Justin Trudeau announcing he will soon resign as Prime Minister, and as the Liberal party leader, we will be taking a close look at his record in power, and casting a similar look at what the leader who succeeds him will be like. In our first half hour, we are joined by author and activist Yves Engler who looks at Trudeau and some of the leadership candidates in terms of their foreign policy. Then in our second half hour, we will talk to researcher and analyst Matthew Ehret at the deep historical and political perspective in terms of the characters who helped bring Trudeau to the stage, and the battles that have played out within the party itself leading them to what Trudeau is doing now.

Nora Barrows-Friedman brings us a recap of Palestinian news from January 9th to the 16th, 2025

In the first half of today’s episode, we discuss the intentional whitewashing of the politics and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King by the Raegan administration to gain a broader appeal to middle America. We also discuss how Dr. King’s image is used and his words are cherry-picked by far-right conservatives to provide a veneer of decency where there often is deep-seated bigotry, fear, and division. In the second half of the show, we discuss what MLK’s thoughts would be on hot-button issues of today based on his actual words. We discuss what his views would be on equity vs equality, the teaching of CRT/American history, and Affirmative Action. Our Way Black History Fact is Dr. King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail.
