It takes a lot of work to stay afloat in today's ultra-connected world. Every day we face a torrent of emails, tweets, texts, tags, alerts, comments, pokes and posts. The writer William Powers believes that all those digital demands increasingly distract us from ourselves, from an inner place where time isn't so fugitive and the mind can slow down. He proposes a new digital philosophy that accounts for our needs to connect and for time apart, and he'll talk with Doug about it. (Rebroadcast)

As new bands scramble for on-line attention with digital downloads, the Provo-based duo The Moth & The Flame are taking a different tack.

The journalist Quinn Norton admits it's difficult to pin a name tag on the group Anonymous. Is it a bunch of hackers? Activists? Terrorists? As far as she can tell, the internet meme that inspires online and offline users to participate in an archaic, globalized hive mind is really a culture, with its own ever evolving aesthetics, values, idioms and iconography. Norton and anthropologist Gabriella Coleman join Doug on Wednesday to look behind the Guy Fawkes masks and try to understand Anonymous.

Mon, Feb 06, 2012
No behavior is more reviled in America than pedophilia. Dr. Fred Berlin, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, believes in the necessity of criminal penalties for pedophiles, but, he argues, thinking of pedophilia solely as a criminal mindset hamstrings our ability to control it. Berlin regards pedophilia as a treatable mental disorder. He'll join Doug on Tuesday to discuss our understanding of pedophilia and how we can manage and treat it before it leads to a pernicious incident.

Imagine a Presidential race in which one campaign calls the incumbent a "hideous hermaphroditical character with neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman." You might think things have gotten bad in today's political rhetoric, but Thomas Jefferson's camp leveled this attack against John Adams in the 1800 race. Monday, we're talking about negative campaigning in American politics: its history, effectiveness and whether it's on the rise.

The popular TV series DOWNTON ABBEY takes pains to hew closely to historical fact, and yet there remains much we don't know about the reality of life in England's grand country houses. How did aristocrats come to own such vast tracts of land? How was servants' work regarded? And how did England's servant system collapse after the Great War? The cultural historian Sian Evans, author of the book LIFE BELOW STAIRS, joins Doug on Thursday to help us peel back the fictional veneer of DOWNTON ABBEY.

Conventional wisdom has favored Mitt Romney in the race for the Republican presidential nomination because many see him as the chance to beat Barack Obama. This month though, Romney's favorability ratings have fallen and he heads to Florida with just 1 of 3 primary victories. Reporter McKay Coppins says pragmatism gets boring for voters and Romney needs more to connect with conservatives.

Susan Matt, a professor at Weber State University, laughed when she first read of someone actually dying of homesickness.

But as Matt writes, nostalgia has long distressed Americans--we leave to college, move for a new job, or migrate to a new country.

In the early 1970s, Sixto Rodriguez, a poet-musician from inner-city Detroit, produced two albums. His producers thought they would be hits, but they were utter flops - in America, that is. In South Africa though, Rodriguez was bigger than Elvis or The Rolling Stones, and his albums provided the soundtrack for white opposition to apartheid. Filmmaker Malik Bendjelloul has documented Rodriguez' unlikely fall and rise, and he'll talk with Doug about it on Friday.

To some people, Stanley Kubrick's film THE SHINING set the standard for modern horror cinema. For others, it was the result of a talented filmmaker slacking off. And then there are the ardent fans convinced they've decoded the film's hidden messages of genocide, cabals and the nightmares of history. Rodney Ascher and Tim Kirk made a film about these conspiracy theorists that investigates the act of criticism and what it means to be a fan. They'll join Doug on Wednesday to talk about ROOM 237.

There are 1.5 million active-duty personnel in the U.S. Armed Forces. Sexual assault is an increasing problem within those ranks. In many, if not most cases, it's swept under the carpet: only 8 percent of sexual assault cases are prosecuted in the military, and only 2 percent of those cases result in convictions. The filmmaker Kirby Dick's new documentary, THE INVISIBLE WAR, sheds light on the suffering of thousands of military rape victims, and he'll join Doug on Tuesday to talk about it.

His new documentary, The House I Live In, scrutinizes another unique expression of American conflict by telling the stories of individuals at all levels of our war on drugs. The drug war has made America the world's largest jailer even as narcotics of all kinds have become purer, cheaper and more available. Where did we go wrong, and what, can be done about it?
