- Last month, Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman spoke at the University of Arizona about how to have more fun in the present moment. Thurman is known for his books and translations, including the Tibetan Book of the Dead. He talked with Laura Markowitz about love, death, aliens, and rebirth - and having fun in between. (The Tibetan singing bowls performed by Paul Grady Lee, who was featured in this edition of Arizona Spotlight.)

- And, Mark talks with journalist Leah Sottile, host of the Longreads / Oregon Public Radio podcast Bundyville, a seven-part series chronicling the story behind the armed uprisings inspired by Cliven Bundy, skirmishes that his family and followers claim is a fight over the future of the American West.
