John Arquilla– "Networks and Netwars"
From Barry Vogel | Part of the Radio Curious series | 29:00
The war that the United States has invoked in what is often called the “War On Terror” is unusual in many ways. One of those ways is that this war is being fought against a network that is spread out in many unsuspecting and obscure places. It is not being fought as many wars have been in the past, directly against another county. Dr. John Arquilla, is a professor of defense analysis and co-director of the justify on Terrorism at the Naval Post-Graduate School in Monterey, California. In this program we talk with Professor Arquilla about the fighting tactics employed by networks as opposed to countries, the threats they pose, and some of the war tactics used against these networks.
John Arquilla recommends “Kim,” by Rudyard Kipling.

Flipping Extremists To Bolster Peace
From Good Radio Shows, Inc. | Part of the Peace Talks Radio: Weekly Half Hour Episodes series | 29:00
A threat of both international and domestic terrorism has been a constant in our world for decades now. Radicalization of individuals to practice such terrorism has been identified as one of the key reasons behind these attacks forcing governments around the world to focus on countering terrorism through deradicalization. On this PEACE TALKS RADIO episode, correspondent Priyanka Shankar talks to our guests about what drives people into joining terrorist groups and how counter-terrorism efforts are trying to flip extremists to bolster peace. Why should we care about these efforts, and what role, if any, can WE play in such efforts?

Jason Rhee: Making a Documentary about "the Korean Magic Johnson of NCAA women's basketball."
From National Endowment for the Arts | Part of the Art Works series | 29:01
In his documentary in process, EJ Lee: All-American filmmaker Jason Rhee tells the story of EJ Lee a Korean immigrant in Louisiana who was a phenomenal college basketball player in the 1980s and subsequently attempted to work as a head coach on college level.
Jason Rhee is an emerging documentary filmmaker who is editing his first film: EJ Lee: All-American . Eun Jung Lee, known as EJ, was a college basketball star in the 1980s, nicknamed "the Korean Magic Johnson of NCAA women's basketball." She went on to work at her alma mater, University of Louisiana Monroe (ULM) as an assistant coach and recruiter for over twenty years. In 2022, at the age of sixty, after years of rejections, she finally was named head coach of a college basketball team in Texas. Jason Rhee had been a comedy writer but was so taken with EJ's journey that he became a documentary filmmaker to be able to tell her story. In the podcast, we talk about EJ, how her story moved him so deeply, the connections he saw between EJ and his recently deceased mother-- an undocumented immigrant from Korea who had endured a great deal of hardship--and how EJ's story also speaks to the larger Asian-American experience in the United States. He also talks about the importance of basketball in his own life and the sisterhood he sees in the team EJ is now coaching. We discuss his pivot to doc filmmaking, his fellowships at Kartemquin and the Center for Asian-American Media, and the challenges and joys of documentary film.
