Segment A: PRIME TIME
Since the first TV screens lit up homes across the country in the mid 1940's, American television has reflected, and sometimes dictated, changes within our society. ODU professor Dr. Gary Edgerton has chronicled the development and cultural relevance of television in American lives in his recently released book, The Columbia History of American Television. We'll talk to him about everything from 'Hee-Haw' to 'The Girls Next Door' today on HearSay.
Segment B: -ISMS AND -OLOGIES
Have you ever wondered about the roots of Conservatism, or heard of Zoroastrianism and wanted to know what, exactly, that is? If so, Arthur Goldwag has written the book for you, -Isms and -Ologies: All the Movements, Ideologies, and Doctrines That Have Shaped Our World, brings together the answers to those questions and many more. We'll ask him about a few today on the program today.
