Friends and Readers: Hope you will tune in tomorrow, 2:30 pm PST, Tuesday, October 30, as I guest-host "The Politics of Culture" on KCRW for the first (and, depending, very possibly the last) time. You can listen live at 89.9 FM if you are in Los Angeles, or hear it online at KCRW.com, and it's also available as a podcast. The topic will be the culture of a society under surveillance, with guests including Adam Rifkin, director of a new movie called "Look," which shoots a tale of modern drama entirely from the perspective of surveillance cameras. Other guests include Melissa Ngo, senior counsel and expert in questions of surveillance and civil liberties, and Grant Fredericks, a pioneer in forensic video analysis. Hope you will join us for a lively debate.
Tune in Tomorrow
