Does Hard Work Really Lead to Success? / Reagan’s Racism Tanked U.S. Education
April 23, 2025, 4:29 p.m.
Today we pull from a public World Government Summit lecture offered by professor of political science, Dr. Roy Casagranda discussing the economic history of the Unted States as well as the dismantling of the free/low-cost education system once found in the United States.
In the first half of the show, discuss the idea that hard work leads to success. We challenge the idea that a few aligned factors can create a universal pathway to the American dream. We also discuss the systemic barriers and advantages present in society and how certain groups are more likely to encounter these forces.
In the second half of the show, we talk about the shift in the United States’ approach to education after the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. We discuss how an increase in costs were strategically implemented by conservatives to create barriers for would-be protesters and social dissenters.

Endolith CEO Liz Dennett: Mining Microbes
April 22, 2025, 8:52 p.m.
As with oil and gas, the extraction of minerals and metals from the earth has been a "necessary evil" in the industrialization of humankind. The environmental destruction and human rights abuses of the mining industry are well-documented. This week’s guest on Sea Change Radio runs a company that partners with mining corporations to make the mining itself more resource-efficient. Liz Dennett is the CEO and founder of Endolith, a Colorado-based startup company that uses microbes to improve the efficacy of copper and lithium extraction. We learn about the science behind Endolith’s technology, talk about the environmental impacts and challenges of metal and mineral mining, and discuss whether there’s a moral quandary in doing business with these big, often nefarious, companies.
Our Common Future Under Climate Change, Honoring Pope Francis’ Laudato Si
April 22, 2025, 5:45 p.m.
At 3am today, April 21, 2025, news services in California announced the death of Pope Francis. Among the many memories of his extraordinary life, his Encyclical on Climate Change, Laudato Si, on the urgently needed care of our common home, came to my mind.
Only nine days ago Pope Francis had announced the celebration, in September 2025, of the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si. Now we need to create the conditions for peace to prevent the destruction of our home without his help.
But Laudato Si has dual roots. Maybe for the first time in the history of papal encyclicals, Pope Francis invited scientists to create the text - foremost among them John Schellnhuber. You will hear precious excerpts from his presentation inside the Vatican on June 17, 2015, at the end of this program. Laudato Si includes statements that not the poor but the wealthy are putting our planet, and ultimately humanity, at risk.

The killing of journalists and paramedics in Palestine is a tragic and deeply concerning issue. These individuals often risk their lives to provide critical services and report on the realities of conflict. Targeting them not only violates international laws but also undermines the principles of humanity and freedom of the press. Such acts highlight the urgent need for accountability and protection for those working in dangerous environments. The international community must advocate for justice and ensure that perpetrators face consequences. Every life lost in these circumstances is a reminder of the human cost of conflict. This issue demands global attention and action to uphold human rights and dignity.
