Playing For Change is an organization that was created to inspire and connect the world through music. "Playing For Change is more than just music. We're a movement that believes in the power of music to break down barriers, connect people, and create positive change. Traveling around the world inspired the founders to unite many of the greatest musicians they met throughout their journeys. These musicians come from many different countries and cultures, but through music they speak the same language. Learn more about this movement and enjoy what they have created. Lots of music videos, but different than what you may be used to seeing.

What to do if you were one of the biggest stars of the silent movie era and time has passed you by? If you are Gloria Swanson, you create the character of Norma Desmond. A fallen star living in her Hollywood mansion desperate for another chance in front of the camera. A famous director serving as your butler. By chance you find a young screenwriter to help you with a new script. And hope Ceci B. DeMille will direct your comeback. "I'm ready for my closeup Mr. DeMille."

The 50's and the 60's were the heydays of the western television show. 7 out of 10 top shows on TV were Westerns. Many of the biggest movie stars of the time had their starts in these shows. Part one will cover the transition from movies to television and the early careers for some major stars. Part two will cover the rise of the ensemble cast and the shows that seemed to go on forever and ever. And many of these shows are still on television today with cable networks like GRIT and WestTV.

Plato’s Republic is one of the most influential and frequently misunderstood works in the Western Canon. It tackles some of the most fundamental questions of human existence such as “What is justice?”, “How should a society be structured to foster human flourishing?”, and “What is the nature of truth and reality.” Although it is often categorized as a work of political philosophy, it is first and foremost a literary masterpiece. Over the course of a month, we will read Plato’s text not merely as a collection of arguments, but as a complex work of dramatic art, exploring the tension between its philosophical claims and its literary form. No prior background in philosophy is necessary, only a willingness to read carefully and accept that some of the best questions are the ones that stay open.
