R&MWOn tonight’s show, host Kasaun E. Henry evaluates what he refers to as Josef Pieper’s “call to wisdom.” Josef Pieper (1904–1997), a German Catholic Philosopher, thought that people have become slaves to jobs and careers and have lost sight of a more important responsibility: to go “beyond the everyday world of work” and pursue wisdom. In his works, In Tune with the World: A Theory of Festivity, Leisure the Basis of Culture, and The Philosophical Act, Pieper asks people living in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries to reexamine their values of jobs and knowledge. Questions to think about: How do you define “work” or “making a living”?

The Tower is a psychedelic journey into the history and mythology of the Donner Party, a group of snowbound pioneers who notoriously resorted to cannibalism to survive the brutal winter of 1846-47. Historical narrative collides with hallucinatory imagery to create a shi­fting landscape filled with the whispers of the past and the roar of the future. A vision of adolescent America: frostbitten, bloodstained, ravenous.
