"The only people who should ride their bikes during the workday are bike messengers, who I also dislike. They weave, they bob—it’s inappropriate. Bike messengers need to do what drivers do: go straight, get pissed off, and hate everyone."

The Passionate, Progressive Politics of Julia Child The public Julia Child—Julia Child the culinary titan—looms so large that she often eclipses the person who existed outside the kitchen. A new collection of interviews captures another side of her.

Julia Child, who was born on this day, in 1912, was known as a titan of the culinary arts. But she was also highly politically engaged, speaking openly about her support for Planned Parenthood and her disgust with the Republican Party.

"You'll Never Walk Alone" rings out for the first time this season, sung with heavy hearts.

Be here this week for a special listener-suggested program. We’re calling the show Atomic Boptails…a look at how be-bop music evolved throughout the hi-fi era.

Tonight at 8 & tomorrow night at 11 (CT) on 90.9 FM, WILL-Urbana, IL. And on demand at www.AtomicAgeCocktailParty.com.
