1. Fred Clarkson, a senior fellow at Political Research Associates, assesses  the consequences of the Supreme Court ruling in the Burwell v.

2. Tomas Lopez, Counsel with the Brennan Center for Justice discusses the status of challenges to new voter suppression laws in states across the nation, which include restrictive voter ID regulations, obstacles to registration and the curtailing of early voting hours, in the months leading up to the 2014 midterm Congressional elections.
3. Author Suzanna Walters talks about her new book,"The Tolerance Trap: How God, Genes and Good Intentions are Sabotaging Gay Equality," in which she argues that the LGBT community has settled for a watered-down goal of tolerance and acceptance rather than a robust claim to full civil rights.
4. Brendan Fischer, General Counsel with the Center for Media and Democracy, discusses the local and national significance of the scandal surrounding Wisconsin GOP Governor Scott Walker, with a focus on his defenders' legal challenge to existing state campaign finance laws.

Here's a show you won't want to miss!

This Thursday, June 26th we're at the Fairfield Theater Company where we co-present together with the FTC a rare CT appearance by The Grand Slambovians— who pioneered alt-folk/americana staying on the fringe of the music industry. Think David Gilmore meets Duane Allman meets David Bowie! The opener is the personable, heavily acoustic amped Ed Hamell who goes by the name Hamell on Trial. This is a benefit for both of our non-profits. Tickets are online at fairfieldtheatre.org or via the box office at 203-259-1036.

Off the air temporarily; explore the archives...

UPDATE: Sorry about that. We're back.

Wouldn't you know it, they're doing some electrical work in our neighborhood and power's been shut off in our building. We'll be off the air for a bit this afternoon, but the good news is the WPKN Archives are still available. This is a great time to catch up on some of those shows you missed recently.

The Grand Slambovians and Hamell On Trial: A Benefit For WPKN And FTC

When? Thursday, June 26th

Where? Stage One, 70 Sanford Street, Fairfield

Tickets are $35 for this benefit concert. Trust us, you don't want to miss it!

Celebrate the Summer Solstice with Sambeleza June 21st

Join WPKN and Voices Cafe at the Unitarian Church in Westport to celebrate the Summer Solstice and get your body swaying to fascinating rhythms with an evening of samba played by Sambeleza, the premiere performers of Brazilian-inspired jazz in this region. The lively music, with its soaring melodies and colorful harmonies, will provide the perfect way for you to ease your way into the heat of the season and to help support WPKN.

The musicians of Sambeleza (www.sambeleza.com) are outstanding U. S. and Brazilian interpreters of the great songs of these traditions, as well as outstanding jazz artists in their own right, and great friends of WPKN. Joe Carter on guitar and Jeff Fuller on bass have been creatively exploring the two worlds for many years, and the relatively younger Isabella Mendes, a native of São Paulo on keyboards and vocals, lends her soulful voice and fiery piano skills to the group's appeal. They will be joined for this performance by two outstanding native Brazilian musicians, Zé Mauricio on percussion, and Adriano Santos on drums, as well special guest Ali Ryerson on flute, who is consistently voted among the top jazz flutists in the Downbeat Jazz Poll.

 Help support WPKN and join us for this third time the station presents at Voices Cafe in Westport.

Tickets are available through Brown Paper Tickets.
