In this interview, Dr. Glen Slater discusses his powerful and intriguing 2009 article entitled "The Mythology of Bullets" (Spring Journal, Volume 81 "The Psychology of Violence") in which he addresses the major mainstream issues that always arise in such devastating events: gun violence, media influence, and mental health.
However, Slater goes much deeper to look at the archetypal aspects of guns in America, how our inherent cultural roots come into play, and how the uncompromising drive of the American Dream insists we succeed at any cost.

Hi Joseph. Thanks for your patience. I think it's Trickster at work because it works on my end and I've also already had feedback from a couple of people who listened to the whole thing.
Regardless, I've just re-posted a "fresh" file to the server in case it was corrupted somehow (evidently!) --and it looks to be all there. Hopefully third time's the charm if you still have the patience to try....http://www.depthinsights.com/pages/radio.htm#slater
