11/13 "Without a Map” is about thirty-five years of collectivism, community, and change". It is a documentary about a natural foods collective in Iowa City and how it evolved into a natural foods cooperative, including interviews with founding members who've stayed and those who've moved on to other things.

11/20 In the spirit of Thanksgiving, actually more so the theft of culture and property, this program by Donald Swadley is oriented to works composed by sampling or just blatant plagiarism.

11/27 In 1986, Ken Lonquist and storyteller Sharon Grady brought an eastern European folktale, “The Legend of Old Belfana” to the Access Hour airwaves.

FICTION JONES 3rd, 4th and 5th Fridays of the month, 11pm-Midnight Host Gregg Williard continues with “A Journal of the Blank Year”, a non-sequential serialized novel with a style that crosses Proust with Phillip K. Dick. Although you probably won’t want to miss a single episode, the novel is designed so that each chapter stands alone. Tune in whenever you can!
