Sonic Café #484/Driving The Dream Machine
May 22, 2026, 4:31 p.m.
Sonic Café, kicking things off with Freedom Junction from 2025—music to drive the Dream Machine by. Hey there, I’m Scott Clark, and this is episode 484.
This time, the Sonic Café explores life’s little absurdities, from the outrageous cost of printer ink, to the down-and-dirty roots of Seasick Steve. We’ve stitched together a music mix spanning 57 years, including Blind Melon, Primal Scream, Janelle Monáe, and a groovy 2018 remix of the Beatles’ Glass Onion, originally dropped in ’68, and as always, many more.
Comedian Don McMillan jumps in with a hilarious breakdown of why printer ink is somehow more valuable than liquid gold. Later, at the bottom of the hour, get ready for a time-warped Sonic Café twin spin—The Banana Splits’ 1968 garage nugget I’m Gonna Find A Cave, followed by 45 Spiders’ 2018 take on the same tune.
Oh—and a big Sonic Café welcome to our newest sponsor: Cerebellex, the smart pill for stupid people. Cerebellex—because thinking is hard.
So let’s get rolling. From 1974, here’s Paul McCartney and Wings—this is Helen Wheels. And as always, we’re the Sonic Café.
Stephen Silha- "The Puckish Whimsical Life of James Broughton"
May 22, 2026, 1:10 a.m.
The puckishly whimsical life and times of poet and film maker James Broughton is the topic of this edition of Radio Curious in a visit with Stephen Silha, the producer and director of “Big Joy,” a biographical film of the life and times of James Broughton.
Broughton believed that in order to live an authentic life we each should follow our own weird. He says:
“I don’t know what the left is doing said the right hand,
But it looks fascinating.”
And:
“I may be infecting the whole body
said the Head
but they’ll never amputate me.”
Stephen Silha and I visited by phone from his home near Seattle, Washington on Mother’s Day, 2014. He began our conversation by telling us what drew him to make a film about his friend James Broughton.
The book Stephen Silha recommends is “The Man Who Fell in Love With the Moon,” by Tom Spanbauer.
The music in this weeks edition of Radio Curious is “Twril” by Norman Arnold, from the movie, “Big Joy.”

Lisa Song on EPA Rollbacks and the Dangers of Tear Gas
May 20, 2026, 12:01 a.m.
Several times a day I find myself noting that this administration stinks. It turns out it's not just the stench of cruelty, chaos, and corruption - it's air quality issues, too. This week on Sea Change Radio, we are joined by ProPublica reporter Lisa Song to learn how the Trump administration is affecting the air we breathe. First, we discuss Song’s reporting on the EPA's roll-back of air monitoring systems which allow big polluters to self-report their emissions. Then, we talk about how the EPA is actually questioning its own legal authority to enforce the Clean Air Act. Lastly, we turn to an upsetting story about how the unchecked use of tear gas and pepper spray by federal agents is harming children.

Resistance to the Global Rise Anti-LGBTQ Laws PT 3
May 18, 2026, 9:16 p.m.
In this week’s Newswrap, a record-breaking boycott rocks the Eurovision Song Contest as protests over Israel’s participation intensify amid the war in Gaza, while a new GLAAD report warns that major social media platforms are becoming increasingly unsafe for LGBTQ users. Additional stories include Japan’s growing legal recognition of non-binary people, the delayed opening of a landmark African LGBTQ art exhibition in Washington, D.C., and the European Commission’s decision not to pursue an EU-wide conversion therapy ban despite strong public support.
Then in a Rainbow Rewind, poet Adrienne Rich reflects on responsibility to both past and future generations in a powerful archival excerpt.
Finally, journalist Ebony Joseph concludes her three-part series on the global rise of anti-LGBTQ laws with a report from activists in Nigeria and Kenya confronting criminalization, censorship, and severe funding cuts. Organizers describe how anti-LGBTQ legislation affects housing, employment, healthcare, and online safety, while warning that many so-called “family protection” bills across Africa are linked to broader international networks of authoritarian politics and religious conservatism. Despite mounting political hostility, grassroots groups continue building coalitions, supporting vulnerable LGBTQ people, and fighting for dignity, equality, and belonging.
