Bread – November 30, 2006
November 30, 2006
Bread, defined as money. Listen as youth determine the three things money is supposed to be, and the times it’s not.
Silly side jobs, last-ditch loans, a coming market crash…all these things are touched on as you hear short stories from the streets, a visit to a paycheck advance place, a long-distance call with an economic anthropologist…
Three hosts, three acts, Voice of Youth, the bread show.

November 16, 2006
Imagine if you will a living room, in the afternoon. On the television, in the background, beautiful people, caught up in decadent drama, sobbing in soft focus, soap opera style. In that room, in the foreground, everyday people erupting with real aggression, fighting and crying, police and paperwork.
A strange image but the strong one we were left with after two weeks of exploring the electoral process
An exploration less like a civics lesson and more like a Twilight Zone-type adventure, getting caught between two tangential but very separate universes: the multi-million dollar election cycle choosing representatives for people, many of them, caught in a cycle of violence and poverty their representatives seem utterly unrelated and untouched by.
Coming up, a tale of two cycles, told with melancholy and the frustration of futility, in a collection of conversations and reflections.

Want to fill in the blanks? This show translates the mid-term election headlines into the words said among youth. On the way our hosts must drive towards the core of the questions: what is politics and why should I care?
