EP 15 | Finding Solutions to the Gun Debate with Qasim Rashid
04/17/23 • 56 min
It seems we're stuck in an endless cycle these days -- gun violence, thoughts and prayers, calls for legislative action, complete inaction, move on to the next tragedy. Wash, rinse, repeat.
On today's episode, I'm speaking with human rights lawyer, Qasim Rashid, who has become an outspoken voice on social media for social justice in all forms. He's an extremely knowledgeable resource when it comes to understanding the history of the United States' obsession with gun culture.
He helps us understand the resistance to common sense gun laws and how this issue ties back to segregation and Jim Crow. We also discuss ways to take action to ensure this pattern does not continue indefinitely.

EP 14 | Killing Me Softly with Songwriter Lori Lieberman
Songwriter Lori Lieberman wrote a poem about the impact Don McClean's song, "Empty Chairs" had on her. That poem became, "Killing Me Softly." Her co-writers were Norman Gimbel (lyricist) and Charles Fox (composer). They helped develop the poem into a full-fledged song. But years later, after their personal and professional relationship with Lori had gone sour, they attempted to re-write history, and claimed that the story of Lori writing the poem that became, "Killing Me Softly" was an "Urban Legend."
In this episode of, "I'm All Over the Place" I sit down for an extensive conversation with Lori, whose version of "Killing Me Softly" pre-dates Roberta Flack's. We discuss her upbringing, her career, her relationship with Gimbel and Fox, and how she's doing today.

Bonus Episode - Why Do Conservatives Hate Socialism?
Ever wonder why accusations of "Socialism!" tend to be bandied about whenever someone suggests compassionate social policies that consider the vulnerable? Are those accusations accurate? If they are, what does that mean for democracy?
