The Colin McEnroe Show
Episode: Reverence? Rejection? Reckoning with the actions of our ancestors
Airdate: August 17, 2023
Category: News/Public Affairs Program

The Colin McEnroe Show has been on air on Connecticut Public for more than 13 years, analyzing the week's news and pop culture events while also delving into some very eccentric subjects, such as zippers, punk music, Neanderthals, tambourines, handshakes, the Iliad, snacks, Occam's razor, Rasputin, and houseflies. In this episode Colin and his guests grapple with the impact our ancestors have on our lives and what our responsibility is if they did something we disagree with. Guests include Maud Newton, the author of "Ancestor Trouble: A Reckoning and a Reconciliation," and Jenny Strauss, the great-granddaughter of Lewis Strauss, who was a major figure in the development of nuclear weapons, and who was played by Robert Downey Jr. in the movie Oppenheimer.
