Now, it seems more than ever, we need to engage the great, maligned and feared "other" rather than succumbing to the constant barrage of media that seeks to make us minimize and simply dismiss that which isn't "Us." Our guest this episode is a person that seeks to change that orientation. Tom Krattenmaker...

On the Block Radio with Andrew Gurevich
Argentina-born Fernando Viciconte came of age musically in L.A. fronting the popular hard rock band Monkey Paw.
