January 31, 2010 at 12:00pm (Noon): "What Is A Wife?" with Marilyn Yalom
Wives have been around since Eve, and the concept of being a wife has been embedded in cultures, religious practices, social customs and economic patterns of wildly different sorts. Is there a core concept of what it is to be a wife? Is it a good concept, or one that deserves to be thrown on the junkpile of intellectual history — like the concept of a witch — because it perpetrates corrosive stereotypes of women? What conceptions of being a wife do Americans have today? Join John and Ken as they discuss wives and the concept of being a wife with Marilyn Yalom, author of "A History of the Wife".
January 31, 2010 at 3:00pm: "Faces, Feelings and Lies" with Paul Ekman
According to Proverbs, lying lips are an abomination to the Lord. But lies on human lips are as common as fleas on a dog. What is a lie? Are all untruths lies? Is lying always immoral? Do our faces inevitably betray our lies? Join the hosts as they uncover the concept, practice, and detection of lies with pioneering psychologist Paul Ekman, author of "Emotions Revealed: Recognizing Faces and Feelings to Improve Communication and Emotional Life" and "Telling Lies: Clues to Deceit in the Marketplace, Politics, and Marriage".
