Asian Art Museum — The Dragon’s Gift – Sacred Arts of Bhutan
March 28, 2025, 3:32 a.m.
In this edition of Radio Curious we would like to take you to Bhutan! East of Mount Everest and bordered by India and Tibet, Bhutan is a mystical kingdom considered by many as The Last Shangri-La. We will be visiting “The Dragon’s Gift: The Sacred Arts of Bhutan,” an exhibit which is currently displayed at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco until May 10th 2009.
We start in conversation with Therese Bartholomew, the curator of the exhibit who helps us to understand what inspired the exhibit and the trials and tribulations of transporting such valuable religious objects from monasteries at the top of Bhutanese mountains to the city of San Francisco.
Through todays edition we will also visit the exhibit itself and hear some of the ceremonies, meet the monks who have travelled with the exhibit and take a tour with museum docent Henny Tanugjaja.
We spoke with Therese Bartholomew from her home in San Francisco on the March 27, 2009 and began by asking her what makes Bhutan and Bhutanese arts so special?
Therese Bartholomew is the Curator Emeritus of Himalayan Arts at the Asian Art Museum San Francisco the book she recommends is “My Life and Lives, The Story of a Tibetan Incarnation” by Rato Khyongla Nawang Losang

Abandon the Battlefield - The Story of Two Israeli War Resisters (Refuseniks)
March 27, 2025, 8:45 p.m.
This week, we provide audio from a special presentation of two Israeli War resisters who were travelling across Canada shedding light on their bold
decision to refuse military service in protest of Israel’s occupation
of Palestine and its ongoing violence in Gaza.
Einat Gerlitz and Tal Mitnick are leading figures in a growing wave of
dissent among Israeli youth, challenging the brutal military
occupation and advocating for Palestinian liberation. Both of them
have paid the price for their stand, enduring time in Israeli military
prisons for their refusal to participate in what they call a violent
system that perpetuates apartheid and genocide. Their actions
have sparked a global conversation about the vital role of war
resisters in the fight for human rights and a free Palestine.
They are also examples of the call to others in military service during illegal wars to Abandon the Battlefield, a major activist call by the Centre for Research on Globalization. So this week, we thought we would give you the entire presentation by these two heroic individuals at the Hope Mennonite Church, in Winnipeg, Manitoba on March 20, 2025.

Political Conclusions We Can Draw About Black America with Dr. Christopher Towler
March 27, 2025, 5:24 a.m.
Our guest is Christopher Towler, PhD. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at California State University, Sacramento. He is the Director of the Black Voter Project, Co-Founder of Black Insights Research and the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics.
In the first half of the show, we talk about the data that allows us to draw rather different conclusions than many folks had when going into the most recent presidential election. Many narratives were chronicled that are not ultimately supported by the polling of Black people around this country.
In the second half of the show, we discuss the polling data since the election and what conclusions we can draw from it. We also examine some positive aspects of the data uncovered by Dr. Towler and how the progressive minds in this country can implement it into their strategies moving forward.

Francesca Albanese is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories. She was in London, England, when Israel broke the Cease Fire in Gaza on March 18, 2022, and killed more than 400 people in that first night.
She was being interviewed on Channel4News on the topic of genocide. And I’m presenting this half hour with minimal edits to show how many challenges an interviewer needs to build into the exchange in order to avoid the accusation of antisemitism. The interview is dated March 18 and, just a week later, had over a quarter million views.

Jeremy Miller: The Urban Tail of the Chinook Salmon
March 25, 2025, 9:17 p.m.
This week on Sea Change Radio, we highlight a scenario that is constantly being played out in cities all over the world as humankind continues to encroach upon wildlife habitat. This time, however, the dynamic is a little bit unusual as large chinook salmon are finding their way into small urban creeks in downtown San Jose, California. Today we are speaking with environmental writer and fisherman Jeremy Miller as he recounts a piece he recently penned for Sierra Magazine. We try to unearth the mystery of how these fish ended up in a major metropolitan area, look at federal protections which differ based upon a fish’s origin, and discuss the role of the local water district in all of this.

James Madison—brilliant thinker, reluctant slaveholder, and the guy who let the National Bank crash and burn. Oops. In this episode, we break down his tangled views on slavery (yes, even messier than Jefferson’s), his economic policies (or lack thereof), and how industrialization set the North and South on a collision course. Plus, we’re spilling the tea on dueling, monopolies, and the financial chaos of the War of 1812—because history is way juicier than your old textbooks let on.
Hit play for presidential drama, economic blunders, and the surprising investing genius of Abigail Adams. You won’t look at Madison—or your bank account—the same way again.

The subprime lending crisis and the national debt crisis have something in common - interest. Margrit Kennedy (1939-2013) was a German architect, professor, environmentalist, author and advocate of complementary currencies and an interest- and inflation-free economy. In 2011, she initiated the movement Occupy Money.
In this interview she explained how interest creates inflation, and eventually collapses economies, and proposes a different system of money circulation called demurrage.
