Arizona Spotlight Sonoran Strange SPOT

Featured on the November 28th, 2014 edition of ARIZONA SPOTLIGHT with host Mark McLemore:

  • Hélène Berr was a French woman who died in a concentration camp at age 24, just days before the camp was liberated. Berr's recently recovered journal serves as the centerpiece for "A Stolen Life", an exhibit at the Jewish History Museum that explores how contemporary generations are documenting their ancestor's stories. Mark McLemore talks with the exhibit's curator Bryan Davis about the lasting legacy of the Holocaust...

  • Author Logan Phillips, also known as DJ Dirtyverbs, talks with Tony Paniagua about his new collection Sonoran Strange, a series of poems that highlight Phillips' observations about the peculiarities of urban living in an inhospitable terrain...

  • And, Mark McLemore meets John Doe, the bassist and songwriter for the band X. Doe talks about his more than three decade career in one of alternative music's most influential and critically-acclaimed bands, and how the four original members are re-imagining their music on their current tour. X and The Blasters play December 5th at the Rialto Theatre in Tucson...
