In the Affiliates version, there is a good break and re-intro at 29:04 for stations needing to add station ID or announcements.
This week we're going to look at a life that shaped energy expectations, a whole social movement, and American military policy in the Middle East. Finally, there is a biography of M. King Hubbert, the man who warned oil companies and the world about Peak Oil. We'll ask author Mason Inman about the man, his legacy, and what it means now, in this brief time of oil glut.
Then I'll check in with Australian extreme weather specialist Lisa Alexander, to get her measure of the record-setting Indian heat wave now cooling to the monsoon rains.
