Andrew
& Alex Smith
Winter in the Blood, James Welch's first novel
published in 1974 by Harper & Row, tells the story of a self-destructive
narrator undergoing an identity crisis. He lives on an Indian reservation
in Montana. His tribe and his culture are clashing with a nearby white
settlement and misguided legislation. Now, brothers Andrew and Alex Smith
and screenwriter Ken White have adapted Winter in the Blood for
film and are in the process of casting, scouting locations, and fund
raising for the project. During this program, the three writers talk
about the genesis of the screenplay and their perspective on Welch's
book. The Smith brothers also wrote The Slaughter Rule (2002)
and Career Opportunities in Poetry (2008).

Put-Down
Humor and Teasing
aired Tuesday, August 31, 7:30pm
A look toward popular humor—in sitcoms, movies, and stand-up comics—suggests
that put-down zingers have escalated in recent decades. We're left wondering
if, on playgrounds, in offices, and in families, many of us aren't trying
to imitate these humor models and where the line is between benign good
humor and agression.
