We're revisiting our 2012 interview with Robert Rhodes.
In 1995, Robert Rhodes and his family sold most of their possessions ans went to live on the Minnesota prairie in religious seclusion.  Rhodes had gone to live among the Hutterites, a 500 year old religious movement centered on communal ownership of property, radical pacifism, and an intense fervor for the Gospel.
By 2002, Rhodes and his family had left the Hutterites.  He chronicles his six years there in the book Nightwatch: An Inquiry into Solitude.
Also on the broadcast, our producer-at-large Natasha Alford reflects on the shooting in Charleston, and a summer of violence.
