    Introducing "Soul of the City"
    Oct 24 2024
    Jim presents the first episode of a band new podcast from Philadelphia's Sam Katz called "Soul of the City." For centuries Philadelphia has been America’s laboratory for experiment and innovation—in government and politics, medicine and science, freedom of conscience, the arts and architecture, and in brotherly and sisterly love. The rich fusion of immigrant and local cultures established Philadelphia as a city of music. Groundbreaking artists, creatives, technologists, producers, and promoters collectively made one of the world’s great musical centers. In this debut episode Sam talks to Larry Magid, the man who changed the way we listen to and see rock and roll.

He could have stayed on the court at Villanova, probably for many more years, but there are other more important parts of his life that deserve the focus and attention his teams had been getting. Jay Wright talks about his future, what he thinks college basketball's future needs to include, and what it's like to ride high as a winner and survive the hard times when the ball bounces the other way.

  • Gun Violence in America

    Gun Violence in America
    Oct 12 2023
    America is surely an outlier when it comes to gun violence in so-called wealthy nations.

Jim is joined by former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, Yale University's Phillip Atiba Goff and The National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform's Executive Director David Muhammad for a frank conversation about whether there are solutions and whether there is a will to implement them.
