What is a dream? An expression of our deepest desires, as Shakespeare said “the very substance of the ambitious”? Or is it merely some evolutionary byproduct of some biological need for sleep, as Freud called it, “the guardian of sleep”? Scientists are still debating the origin and purpose of dreams to this day. But perhaps we can look to the American Songbook for one artistic interpretation of the dream. And that’s what I’ll be doing this hour. Ahead, we’ll hear jazz standards about dreaming, including “You Stepped Out Of A Dream,” “Deep In A Dream,” “This Time The Dream’s On Me,” and many more.

From No Small Endeavor | Part of the No Small Endeavor series | 54:00

What on God’s green earth does climate change have to do with living a good life? To answer such a question, says author and professor Debra Rienstra, we must first ask a more basic one: what is the good life? “We have assumed that it is affluence and upward mobility,” she says, “but that good life is not sustainable.” If a good life is one of purpose and healing, then it is precisely the Western ideal of success that is eating away our ability to live good lives. In this episode, we discuss her book Refugia Faith, in which she makes the argument that “the created world is not just our grocery store and sewer,” and that to live a good life, we must care for the planet on which the good life takes place.

85 years ago, 200 Jewish children arrived in Great Britain from Germany. It was the first of many so-called Kindertransport rescue missions. The children were brought out of Nazi Germany to safety. Until September 1, 1939, when Nazi Germany attacked Poland and World War II started, around 10,000 minors were saved that way. But for other children, it was too late.

Most of early 1970s FM rock stations had a free-form format, which meant the individual disc jockey had a lot of leeway when it came to sequencing the songs played. Sometimes that meant delving into musical genres that weren't strictly considered rock, but that appealed to the kind of listener that chose to tune in an FM rock station in the first place. This week, in addition to several decidedly rock artists such as Santana, Traffic and Led Zeppelin, we have an eighteen and a half minute long piece from a group made up of British folk and jazz musicians, the Pentangle.
