Joel Whitney - Flights: Radicals on the Run

A conversation between Joel Whitney and Natasha Lennard, in which they discuss Whitney’s latest book, "Flights: Radicals on the Run", which is published by OR Books: https://orbooks.com They spoke on September 4th, 2024, at the Francis Kite Club in Manhattan: https://www.franciskiteclub.com From OR Books: "Told through the lives of the American Century’s most talented and stubborn dissidents, Flights is the archetypal hero’s journey of a group of progressives whose struggle for truth, and for freedom from persecution, sent them into exile, both literal and metaphorical. At once a group portrait of these geniuses of creative escape, Flights is also a prehistory (and indictment) of American mass surveillance culminating in Edward Snowden’s revelations, of torture culminating in Abu Ghraib, of censorship culminating in the incarceration of journalist Julian Assange, of fascism culminating in January 6, and of political murder culminating in the Bush-Obama-Trump air assassination program." "Joel Whitney is the author of Finks: How the CIA Tricked the World’s Best Writers, which The New Republic called a “powerful warning.” His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Daily Beast, The Baffler, The Wall Street Journal, Boston Review and New York Magazine. He is a former features editor at Al Jazeera America and a founder and former editor-in-chief of Guernica for which he was awarded the 2017 PEN/Nora Magid Award for Excellence in Editing. His essays in The Baffler, Dissent and Salon were Notables in Best American Essays 2017, 2015 and 2013. He currently curates literary programs at the Brooklyn Public Library." Natasha Lennard is a British-born, Brooklyn-based writer, and a columnist for the Intercept. Her work has appeared in The Nation, Bookforum, Dissent, and the New York Times, among others.

Carroll Pickett— "To Kill or Not To Kill, No Man Should Die Alone"

To Kill or Not To Kill: That is the question still presented to juries in capital cases in the United States, one of the few countries remaining in the world to employ the death penalty. In this edition of Radio Curious, we visit with Pastor Carroll Pickett, who served as chaplain for the Texas Department of Corrections from 1982 to 1995 and counseled 95 inmates on their way to death by lethal injection. “At the Death House Door: No Man Should Die Alone,” is a independent film documentary, directed and produced by Steve James and Peter Gilbert, that presents a personal and intimate look at the death penalty in Texas through the eyes of Pastor Pickett, a Presbyterian minister. Over the years, after each of the 95 executions, Pickett would record his experiences with that person on the tape he used to practice his sermons. Although he never listened to those tapes, they became the thread and primary source for the movie. I spoke with Pastor Carroll Pickett on May 23, 2008 from his home in Texas, after hearing him speak at a special hearing on capital punishment in San Francisco, CA, while he was on a break from a national publicity tour. We began when I asked him to explain what brought him to work with condemned men and be with them in their last hours. This program was originally broadcast on June 25, 2009. The book Carroll Pickett recommends is “Just Call Me Mike: A Journey to Actor and Activist,” by Mike Farrell and Martin Sheen.

Timothy Mousseau: Chernobyl and Fukushima – Biological Implications of radiation - TUC Archives

When the biologist, Professor Tim Mousseau, concluded this talk by showing heartbreaking pictures of the birds of Chernobyl and their tumors and birth defects, the physician and anti nuclear campaigner Dr. Helen Caldicott stepped up to the podium to thank him. She said: “I want to pay homage to Tim Mousseau, who with his colleagues is actually endangering his life by going into extremely high radioactive areas doing pioneering work, which is going to change the concept of radiation exposure to humans. What is happening to the animals, the insects and the plants is going to happen to us.” Mousseau is a Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of South Carolina. He and his scientific collaborator Anders Moller from the University of Paris, Sud, have done research in the most contaminated areas of Chernobyl. When Fukushima Daiichi exploded they began field work there as well. They study birds, insects, microbes, and plants at over 1,000 sites, creating the most diligent inventories of each study area and returning year after year. They found significantly increased rates of genetic damage in direct proportion to the level of exposure to radioactive contaminants. Tim Mousseau spoke on March 11, 2013, on the second anniversary of the Fukushima Daiichi explosions at a Symposium at the New York Academy of Medicine. The two day meeting was organized by Dr. Helen Caldicott’s Foundation, at nuclear free planet dot org, and co-sponsored by Physicians for Social Responsibility. DATE: March 11, 2013
