How 'Bout Them Apples…: That seems to be the perplexing question on the face of the Ann Arbor People's Food Cooperative customer, below, who may have to brush up on elementary arithmetic to figure out the cost of his dried apple purchase. Above left, another customer seems more at ease weighing out a purchase of beans, then totalling up the cost on the adding machine, above right. Having customers serve themselves, brind their own bags and containers, even pitch in to stock shelves are among the ways that food co-ops cut their overhead costs and thereby reduce prices.

AADL Talks To: Pun Plamondon
Pun Plamondon was a directionless teen with left-wing leanings when he met John Sinclair, Leni Sinclair, and Gary Grimshaw in Detroit in the mid-1960s. He grew to become the co-founder of the White Panther Party/Rainbow People's Party as well as its Minister of Defense. In that role he found himself on the run as one of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Criminals and the subject of a case before the United States Supreme Court. In this episode we talk to Pun about that journey, including the formation of the White Panther Party and Rainbow People’s Party, being there for some of the key events in 1960s Ann Arbor, and finding his Native American roots.
