Monuments to Women, Cognitive Decline and Happiness, Great Reads 

LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM

By segment

One

Of the more than 5,500  outdoor sculptures of historical figures in the United States, only 10% portray women. Yet, women comprise 51% of the U.S. population. If that doesn’t sound right to you, you have company in Lexington Urban-County Council-member Jennifer Mossotti. She is leading an effort to establish a monument honoring the accomplishments of women in Lexington and Fayette County. And WEKU's Mary Meehan pays a visit to the workplace of one such woman. Listen


Two

UK Sociologist Tony Bardo has research showing that cognitive decline in our later years does not necessarily mean we’re unhappy. Plus, reports on ways to prevent cognitive decline.  Listen


Three

KY Humanities’ Bill Goodman talks with bookseller Jay McCoy about the latest great reading from Kentucky authors. Listen

The Harstad Fine Arts Series: the first of recurring feature interviews highlighting off-the-radar places to listen to live music. Listen (This portion of Segment Three begins at 7:39)
