Old Mole Variety Hour for October 13, 2014

Joe Clement hosts this episode about public health and our vulnerability to epidemics like Ebola, gentrification as colonialist legacy, and racial perceptions of crime. Musical selections from Hazel Dickens, Leon Rosselson, James Talley, and Bonnie "Prince" Billy.

• Bill Resnick and Walter Tsou discuss the importance of public health
• Joe interviews James Tracy about gentrification and resisting displacement
• Frann Michel brings us a Well-read Red about gentrification, too, and how class domination feeds racist perceptions and policies.
• Jan Haaken and Mike Snedecker bring us another installment of The Left and the Law, this time about racial perceptions of crime and support for the punitive, repressive state.
