    Summary:
    Ever had the nagging suspicion that you're being watched? You are. We all are. Surrounded by security cameras — in malls, restaurants, airports, workplaces, even in church, spied on by our very own phones and computers. Yes, surveillance can keep us safe, but we're in danger of losing the last shreds of our privacy. In this hour, we explore not only the pros and cons of living while being watched, but what it's like to be doing the watching. [Broadcast Date: January 17, 2018]

    Summary:
    Ah, January. Season of diets and fasts and cleanses, of "Drynuary" and "Veganuary." Why does being virtuous always seem to mean giving up pleasure? This hour, we explore the concept of renunciation and our complicated feelings about it. Giving something up — whether a glass of wine or a way of life — can be hard and painful. The experience can change people in ways they don't expect — for better and for worse. [Broadcast Date: January 10, 2018] Want more To The Best of Our Knowledge? (P) and ©2018 Wisconsin Public Radio
