Special Oscar Peterson retrospective with Kelly Peterson interview
22 Dec, 2021 | 1:56:03 |
EN | Arbie Fru |
I am submitting this show as a special. It is an episode from one of our long-running shows Elevator Club. The host was fortunate enough to get an extensive interview with Kelly Peterson, Oscar's widow, about Oscar's life and their time together. Though part of a series, this show stands well on its own.

What sort of world has capitalism created? Philosopher Mark Fisher argued that the nature of this capitalist world, one that nearly all of humanity lives in, could be described by his theory of Capitalist Realism.

This ability has led to concerns about what we currently know as consumerist culture, which is a tendency for the average person to spend a considerable proportion of their income on non-essential consumerist goods. This tendency to spend...

Tagen Marshall, Saumi, Jouska, and Michael Robert Caditz discuss the Gettier problem. Are the three traditional criteria for knowledge--viz., justified, true belief--sufficient to claim knowledge? Gettier claimed not. Inevitably, in assessing Gettier's claim, we cannot avoid basic issues in epistemology, e.g., the criteria for justification and the ever-relevant question, "What is truth?" The bumper music is: (Artist)Origen; (Title) Solveig's Song
