Segment 1:
Haunted houses are big business this time of year and scary movies are popular year round. Why are we drawn to the spooky, gory and tense in measured doses? On Wednesday, we explore the sociological and psychological appeal of managed fear.
Guests:
- Dr. Mark Rubinfeld, sociologist, Westminster College
- Ashley Thorn, Wasatch Family Therapy
Segment 2:
According to the environmental group Greenpeace, tar sands development in Canada is scarring the land, polluting the air and using twice the amount of water used by a city of two million people. With state officials approving plans for a tar sands project in Utah, activists worry about a similar fate here. On Wednesday, we talk about the issues presented in the film âPetropolis.â
Guests:
- Melanie Martin, Utah Tar Sands Resistance
- Spencer Tripp, Greenpeace/producer of âPetropolisâ
Utah Tar Sands Resistance is holding the event, “Tar Sands: It’s a Whole New Monster,” on Wednesday, Oct. 31 at the City Library, 210 E. 400 South, Salt Lake City. Discussion starts at 6 p.m. in the auditorium and the film, âPetropolisâ begins at 7 p.m.
