Episode 301 July 19, 2026 A Swingin' hot spot of vintage music

I found another pile of old records for Backbeat this week, plus a trove of newer stuff that fits right in with the vintage sound. Jake Vaadeland & the Sturgeon River Boys have a new album that delves deep into Carter Family era of country music while Weepin' Dave and the Diamond Boys get into 1970s Bakersfield sound for their new song. Along with that we've got classics from Meade Lux Lewis, Mac Wiseman, John Lee Hooker and many more from artists you may not have heard of. Backbeat is also available in a 56 and 58 minute versions in three separate files if you want breaks. I am happy to provide custom station IDs, promos and liners.

TWIP-260719

Today we open with a truth America has avoided for generations: the war Israel refuses to end is not just a regional conflict; it is a machine that keeps turning because powerful people want it to turn. A war that has swallowed Gaza, scorched Lebanon, destabilized the region, and dragged the United States into consequences we never asked for. Every time the world calls for restraint, Israel answers with another strike. Every time diplomats push for de‑escalation, Israel lights the fuse again. Lebanon is burning not because the world failed to stop the war, but because Israel refuses to let the fire die. And while the bombs fall, while families flee, while the region trembles, Israel continues to demand American support, political, military, financial, as if our loyalty is automatic, unquestionable, eternal. But behind the scenes, something extraordinary happened: the United States military said no. American generals refused to put boots on the ground. They refused to send our soldiers into a conflict with no strategy, no end, and no justification. They refused to sacrifice American lives for a war that serves political interests rather than national security. That refusal exposed a fracture between political ambition and military reality, a fracture that Israel never expected. And yet, even with all of this unfolding, America continues to support Israel blindly. We continue to send billions overseas while our own people struggle to survive. We continue to ignore the long history of harm Israel has inflicted on us, not just abroad, but directly, violently, unmistakably. Because we cannot talk about Israel’s relationship with America without talking about the USS Liberty. An American ship. An American crew. An American flag flying in international waters. And Israel attacked it. Unprovoked. Unmistakable. Deadly. Dozens of American sailors were killed. Hundreds were wounded. Survivors begged for help that never came. And when the smoke cleared, the truth was buried under diplomacy, excuses, and political pressure. The survivors were silenced. The families were ignored. The American public was told to forget. But the USS Liberty is not a myth. It is not a rumor. It is not a conspiracy. It is a wound, a wound inflicted by a country we continue to fund, defend, and protect. And the USS Liberty is not the only example. For decades, Israel has spied on us. Stolen our technology. Intercepted our communications. Manipulated our politics. And we still send them billions of dollars every year while the average American cannot afford health insurance, cannot afford education for their children, cannot afford groceries, cannot afford gas. We are a nation where families ration medication, where parents work two or three jobs, where young people drown in debt, and yet we continue to give Israel money we do not have, for wars we do not want, for policies that do not benefit us. Imagine what America could be if we stopped. Imagine what we could build with the billions we send overseas. Imagine healthcare that doesn’t bankrupt families. Imagine education that doesn’t bury students in loans. Imagine infrastructure that actually works. Imagine a country where our tax dollars serve us, not foreign governments, not endless wars, not political agendas that harm us. Imagine an America that invests in Americans. Today, we confront that possibility. Today, we confront the truth we have avoided. Today, we ask the question that terrifies the powerful: What happens if America finally stops supporting Israel? And the answer… is still unwritten. If you have thoughts, I want to hear them. Email me at TWIPpodcasts@gmail.com and tell me how you see it. This is This Week in Palestine.

Sonic Café #492/Sushi & Coca Cola

Hey, welcome to the Sonic Café — the Party’s Over, the Raspberries from 1974 — one of the most underrated bands of their era, at least in my opinion, so hey welcome to the little coastal radio café that serves up a fresh blend of eclectic music, comedy, and pop culture each week. I’m Scott Clark, and this is episode 492. This time we’re firing up a mix pulled from 51 years of music. Hang on as we roll through everything from Locksley’s garage rock revival She Does, to Peter Gabriel’s timeless In Your Eyes, ska from The Holophonics, and grooves from The Black Keys, XTC, and as always many more. On the comedy front, Nate Bargatze shares his take on the trickiest phase of the women’s movement, while Andy Hendrickson hilariously compares supermodels to school superintendents — and somehow makes it stick. We’ve also got a wild mash-up you didn’t know you needed: in tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne, hear AI John Denver cover War Pigs blended with Country Roads. It’s weird. It’s wonderful. It’s the Sonic Café. All that plus, a monk’s answer to where we go when we die, and Jimmy Carr with a reminder that, like it or not, we all live like kings these days. So yeah, let’s roll. From 2025, here’s St. Paul and the Broken Bones with Sushi and Coca-Cola. And as always, we’re the Sonic Café.

Martha McCabe– “Culture and Racism”

Praise At Midnight Life, culture and racism are the topics of this edition of Radio Curious, in conversation with attorney/novelist Martha McCabe, author of, “Praise at Midnight.” Martha McCabe worked as a civil rights and criminal trial lawyer in deep east Texas from 1974 to 1985. Her goal was to pour the raw material from her personal experiences as a lawyer into her story. The deeper level into which she fell during the ten year period it took her to complete, “Praise at Midnight,” was the importance of consciousness and self awareness in avoiding the projection of one’s own dark side on to other people and then killing them. She applies this to both local and international levels in her considerations. She and I have been associates, good friends and colleagues since 1969 when we met at the University of Santa Clara where I was a law student. When I spoke with Martha McCabe from her home in San Antonio, Texas on July 29, 2006, we began with her description of the culture of deep east Texas at the time she was living there, 1974 to 1985. Martha McCabe recommends, “Reading Lolita in Teheran,” by Azar Nafisi and, “Caballero: A Historical Novel,” by Jovita Gonzalez and Eve Raleigh.

Marshan Camese: Fighting Fire With Fire

In May of 2026, Marshan Camese addressed a Louisiana state senate subcommittee to voice his objection to the elimination of one of Louisiana’s two majority-Black districts. The moment went viral as Camese’s fiery rhetoric captured the feelings of millions of Americans fed up with the status quo. This week on Sea Change Radio, we are joined by Camese as he breaks down the behind-the-scenes story of the speech, discusses some of the inequities that ignite his passions, and talks about why he’s hopeful that a positive change is imminent.

Don’t Call It A Comeback: Jason Mark on Shifting Baseline Syndrome

Imagine you jumped in a time machine and went back 15 years. You might get a chuckle seeing the flip phones and watching masses of people on that thing we used to call a “work commute,” but you might not think twice about the slightly cooler temperatures. If you set the machine to go back a century, however, you would probably want to pack an extra sweater. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with author and environmental journalist Jason Dove Mark to explore a phenomenon known as shifting baseline syndrome. We discuss Mark’s new book, The Earth Said Remember Me, learn how our brains adapt to the new normal of degraded environmental health, and unpack examples of how we are collectively being lulled into complacency.

Suzanne Simard – Dispatches from The Mother Tree Project

A report on the underground networks in the forest Suzanne Simard is Professor of Forest Ecology in the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Forestry. In spite of her status in academia, rigorous research and love and respect from her students it took over 30 years for her ideas to break through. Ferris Jabr writes in the New York Times Magazine: “By analyzing the DNA in root tips and tracing the movement of molecules through underground conduits, Simard has discovered that fungal threads link nearly every tree in a forest — even trees of different species. Carbon, water, nutrients, alarm signals and hormones can pass from tree to tree through these subterranean circuits… Resources tend to flow from the oldest and biggest trees to the youngest and smallest. Chemical alarm signals generated by one tree prepare nearby trees for danger. Seedlings severed from the forest’s underground lifelines are much more likely to die than their networked counterparts. Crucially, a majority of the carbon sequestered in forests resides in the soils, anchored by networks of symbiotic roots, fungi and microbes. Each year, the world’s forests capture more than 24 percent of global carbon emissions. When a mature forest is burned or clear-cut, the planet loses an invaluable ecosystem and one of its most effective systems of climate regulation. The razing of an old-growth forest is not just the destruction of magnificent individual trees — it’s the collapse of an ancient republic whose interspecies covenant of reciprocation and compromise is essential for the survival of Earth as we’ve known it.” On May 4, 2021 Suzanne Simard’s book, “Finding the Mother Tree” came out. In a rare Ted talk in June 2016 Simard laid out what she discovered. This radio program also includes excerpts from her Zoom seminar at UBC: Dispatches from The Mother Tree Project, on Oct 22, 2020. And in late 2020 the acclaimed environmental writer Ferris Jabr accompanied Suzanne Simard for several days of field research in rough terrain for what became a cover story in The New York Times Magazine. This program ends with quotes from his extraordinary science based article. Ferris Jabr has also written for the Scientific American, The Atlantic, Harper’s, and The New Yorker. By now Suzanne Simard’s insights are beginning to influence the thoughts about climate change, carbon sequestration and harvesting techniques in departments of forestry throughout Canada and the US. A quick note: I’m stopping to do radio programs in August 2025. Just had my 79 birthday and have been producing radio for almost 50 years – beginning at KPFA in Berkeley. Most recently my home is an oak and madr0ne forest in Northern California. Thanks to Otis Maclay from Audioport who has placed re-runs for over a year now. He told me that more than 120 stations are taking TUC Radio every Tuesday. Good Bye to you all!!
