For the coming months, we added dozens of new college and community radio stations to this broadcast, taking us to at least 50 stations.
As you may know, Daphne Wysham and her Earthbeat radio crew are taking a break, while they re-organize. We hope she will be back in the Fall.
Even while off-duty, the reporter in Daphne never takes a break. Later in this program you'll hear her on-the-spot recording from a tornado-ripped town in the hill-country of Virginia. It's reality radio - with a vision of what we can expect in the coming climate-damaged world.
But we start with our feature interview. David Lochbaum is an American nuclear engineer, whistleblower, and expert for the Union of Concerned Scientists. Lochbaum warns reactor design, unreliable cooling systems, and poor oversight leave Americans with the same risk of multiple melt-downs experienced at Fukushima Japan. We'll talk about how to make U.S. reactors safer for all of us.
Then you get the latest from famous environmentalist, Paul Watson, Founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
You may believe in Ghandi; Watson says non-violence can never stop pirates of the sea. He saved seals, dolphins, turtles, sharks, and whales - right from his early days in Greenpeace, to Sea Shepherd's latest campaign in the Antarctic, risking their lives to stop Japanese whaling.
Now Paul has become a policeman for small countries plundered by foreign fishing fleets. He's headed to Libya.
I recorded Watson's speech following the Premiere of the new full-length bio film "Eco-Pirate: The Paul Watson Story." Don't miss the lively questions from the enthusiastic audience. The film goes to theatres in July.
Meltdowns, storms, and ships crashing together on the high seas, this is Radio Ecoshock.
