Dr. Dean Wolbach— "The Air We Breathe"
Oct. 2, 2025, 10:36 p.m.
We all know that there are various forms of air pollution that affect our health and the health of our environment, but what do we really breathe? What is in the air that we breathe?
In this archive edition of Radio Curious, recorded in the Radio Curious studios on January 9, 2009 we visit with Dr. Dean Wolbach, a former Air Pollution Control Officer for Mendocino County. Our conversation focused on the different types of air pollution and how they affect us both globally and at the local level. We began by asking Dr. Wolbach to provide an overview of air quality issues across history, through to the present day, here, in Mendocino.
The books Dr. Dean Wolbach recommends are “Dreams Of My Father,” and “The Audacity Of Hope,” by President Barack Obama, “Samuel Adams: A Life,” by Ira Stoll and “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln,” by Doris Kearns Goodwin.

Empowerment + Resiliency: Shannon Fernando of Alabaster International
Oct. 2, 2025, 5:02 p.m.
Studies have shown that international economic aid can be an important component of a developing country’s economy, but that too much aid can actually be harmful, undermining local enterprise and other indicators of independence. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Shannon Fernando, the founder and CEO of Alabaster International, a small nonprofit with some big plans to make a significant impact in the Global South. We look at her organization’s model, learn about the promising African staple crop enset, and discuss the challenges of trying to provide short-term assistance to vulnerable populations while also setting the table for long-term economic health.

Israel wiped entire Palestinian cities off the map. Writer, poet, and journalist Ahmed Abu Artema joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah to discuss what he saw and experienced during the genocide and how he was evacuated to the Netherlands last month. He explains that: “they are claiming that [they] are fighting Hamas. They murdered 20,000 children, they destroyed 85 percent of the houses of Gaza, they destroyed the hospitals, the universities, complete cities were wiped out from the map. So what is Hamas? They’re problem is with the Palestinian people themselves, the Palestinian existence itself.”
Ali Abunimah discusses the significance of the “recognition” of the “State of Palestine” by a number of Western countries. Is it a step forward or a distraction?
On the Resistance Report, the Electronic Intifada’s contributing editor Jon Elmer brings us the latest resistance news from Gaza, along with a report on the Israeli military’s use of unmanned, remotely operated armored vehicles as bombs while the IDF’s operation Gideon’s Chariots Part Two attacks Gaza City.

Accelerated Warming - Experts Freak Out
Sept. 28, 2025, 11:40 p.m.

Sept. 28, 2025, 1:34 a.m.
In this interview titled "Susan Abulhawa: Gaza Will Define Humanity’s Future", Palestinian-American novelist and activist Susan Abulhawa joins journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin on Out Loud for a searing, emotionally charged conversation about Gaza, resistance, and the moral crossroads facing humanity.
Abulhawa speaks with unflinching clarity, refusing euphemisms and half-truths. She calls the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza what it is: genocide, colonialism, and betrayal—not just by Israel, but by complicit Arab regimes and global powers. Her voice, sharpened by grief and defiance, insists that rage is not weakness but a form of survival. She argues that when rage is channeled into responsibility, it becomes a source of courage and hope.
Throughout the episode, Abulhawa explores Gaza not merely as a place under siege, but as a mirror of humanity’s future. She dismantles the psychology of helplessness, critiques the myth of Western “decorum,” and exposes the illusion of free speech that collapses when Palestine is mentioned. Her analysis is both literary and political, rooted in lived experience and historical truth.
Key themes include:
• Her recent visit to Gaza and the unbearable realities she witnessed firsthand.
• The role of language in masking violence—why terms like “conflict” or “war” obscure the reality of ethnic cleansing.
• The global architecture of complicity, including silence from cultural institutions and censorship of Palestinian voices.
• The resilience of Palestinians, especially children, and the cultural memory that sustains hope amid devastation.
Abulhawa also previews her upcoming literary projects, including a Gaza anthology, and reflects on the duty of artists, writers, and thinkers to speak truth in times of mass erasure.
The episode closes with a call to action: rage alone will not change the world—but rage, when multiplied and directed, becomes the power to shift history. Gaza, she insists, is not just a tragedy—it is a test. And how the world responds will define the moral trajectory of our time.

Guy McPherson, Ph.D- "Near Term Human Extinction" Part Two
Sept. 26, 2025, 4:22 a.m.
In this, part two of our series on near term human extinction, we continue our conversation with Dr. Guy R. McPherson, Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. Professor McPherson is co-author with Carolyn Baker of “Extinction Dialogs: How to Live With Death in Mind.” McPherson presents what appears to be overwhelming scientific evidence that our environment is headed for a swift apocalyptic collapse. This is the most disturbing conversation that I have had in past 25 years as host and producer of Radio Curious.
That said, imagine the human habitat in which we all live changing so rapidly that life as we know it is extinguished. Temperatures that are getting hotter than ever, decades long droughts, catastrophic fires, melting polar ice, rising sea levels, and unprecedented winter storms are expected to radically limit food production and availability of potable water. Not only is this extinction likely, it is occurring every day. “How to live with death in mind” is the goal; living with urgency is the practice.
In part one, Dr. Guy McPherson discusses the rise of global temperature by more than 1 degree centigrade, the likelihood of a continued global warming trend in the future and some of its affects on our planet. In this, our second visit with Prof. McPherson he explains how this small rise in global temperature is leading to a large scale mass extinction on earth. Recorded on September 14, 2015, while he was traveling in New York state, we began I asked him what abrupt extinction will look like and what will occur that will end human life on earth.
The books Dr. Guy McPherson recommends are “Ms. Lady Bug and Mr. Honeybee: A Love Story at the End of Time,” by Pauline Panagiotou-Schneider and Guy McPherson. He also recommends the books by Edward Abbey.

Erica Mackie of GRID Alternatives on Solar For All Cancellation
Sept. 24, 2025, 12:50 a.m.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 34 million households across America are energy insecure. The Solar for All program was set to provide funding to 60 entities that planned to create or expand existing low-income solar programs and would have enabled 900,000 households nationwide in disadvantaged communities to utilize solar energy to reduce their home energy bills. And yet, the current iteration of the EPA recently announced that the Solar for All Program's funding of $7 billion is being terminated. This week on Sea Change Radio - we speak to a solar executive whose organization has had its Solar for All funding rug pulled out from under it. Erica Mackie, the co-founder and co-CEO of the solar nonprofit, GRID Alternatives, joins the program to give us an overview of the services that her organization provides and to discuss the impact of the EPA’s recent decision.
