Here’s what’s on the radio for Monday, Nov. 25.

9 a.m. — MPR News with Kerri Miller

Listen to Kerri Miller in discussion with author and columnist Lindy West about her latest book, The Witches Are Coming. New York Times columnist and author of the critically acclaimed memoir and Hulu TV series Shrill, Lindy West, provides a laugh-out-loud, incisive cultural critique that answers the fundamental question of this hellish political moment — how did we get here? — by dissecting the films, television series, internet phenomena, and lifestyle gurus that have taught us who we are. And, more importantly, what happens when people start saying “no.” The conditions that fostered the catastrophic resentment and abetted Trump’s victory did not spring up in a vacuum; they are woven into America’s DNA.

10 a.m. — 1A with Joshua Johnson

According to a recent Gallup poll, 30 percent of U.S. adults say they own a firearm. And according to the Pew Research Center, three-fourths of those gun owners bought their firearms for self-defense. But researchers at Harvard recently found that people defended themselves with their guns in less than one percent of violent crimes. If the chances that you'll save yourself with a gun are so rare, why does the "Good Guy with a Gun" myth persist?

11 a.m. — MPR News with Angela Davis

Country music is wildly popular. Several experts join the program to discuss the history and why Minnesotans love it so much.

Noon — MPR News Presents

APM Special: "Spotlight on Indigenous Relocation" a "Call to Mind" program hosted by Anton Treuer. This program features a discussion of the ongoing trauma and mental health impacts from the U.S. government's American Indian Relocation Program. The Relocation program was designed in the 1950s to assimilate Indigenous people into white-centric society and eliminate tribal governments and culture. Indigenous experts delve into the impacts of historical trauma in their community and the resiliency factors that empower so many to overcome persistent systems of discrimination.
