Talkies – December 29, 2020

On today’s Talkies. Guest host Max Pringle speaks with historian and author Claudio Saunt about his latest book “Unworthy Republic: the Dispossession of Native Americans and the Road to Indian Country.” It’s a detailed examination of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which resettled tens of thousands of Native Americans from their ancestral land to territories west of the Mississippi River. The repercussions of the act are still being felt today.

Then, the latest on the Coronavirus surge in California.

And, a conversation with the San Francisco Mime Troupe’s Michael Gene Sullivan on the SFMT’s audio production of “A Red Carol.” It’s a contemporary reimagining of the Dickens holiday classic “A Christmas Carol.”
