Never Voted, Never Will (Russell Brand Vs Jeremy Paxman)

There can be no doubt that Russell Brand's incredible interview with Jeremy Paxman on BBC newsnight has struck a chord with, to quote Brand himself, "a disenfranchised, disillusioned, [and] despondent underclass that are not represented by [the] political system." Guy Evans provides analysis to this spectacular battle between paradigms old and new, in Episode 103 of the Smells Like Human Spirit Podcast. Enjoy!

Ben Turk on Insurgent Theatre & Prison Abolition

This week's episode is a conversation with Ben Turk. Ben's a co-founder of Insurgent Theatre, the decade-old theater troop that has presented a number of original and refurbished theater workshops and performances around the country. Topics of IT's works have ranged from discussions around Militancy framed through Homer's Odyssey to Administrative Segregation to a Terrorists Fairytale. Insurgent Theatre's current play is called "Know Your Enemy." The play is a one-person presentation based around a community liaison cop with a liberal heart of gold. As the play goes on, the cop begins to question whether he can actually do his job and help the community. A psychological study into the head of the "good cop" and community/cop relations, it also serves as a history of policing in the United States (ala "Our Enemies in Blue" by Kristian Williams) and a discussion of safer practices when interacting with cops (a sort of Know Your Rights presentation). http://insurgenttheatre.org/acab/acab.html "Know Your Enemy" is touring with the second film by D Jones in the "The Great Incarcerator" series. That film, "The Shadow of Lucasville" includes some eye opening just came out and a preview can be found online at: http://darklittlesecretmovie.com/the-great-incarcerator-part-2-the-shadow-of-lucasville/ We also talk a bit during the hour about art and theater in the modern U.S. and how they can and/or do(n't) intersect. He has a theatrical and theoretical project meant to play out his views on the role of art in revolution. http://artscab.net/ Finally, we speak about prison abolition. Ben has been involved in Redbird Prison Abolition, doing support work for and with prisoners (and those in revolt in particular) in Ohio where the project is based. These include the Lucasville Uprising prisoners, Sean Swain and others. http://www.redbirdprisonabolition.org/ This episodes playlist can be found at: http://www.ashevillefm.org/node/7923 Archives of the interview episodes can be found at thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org and music episodes can be found at radio4all.net and archive.org by searching "final straw music".

Malalai Joya - an Afghan Woman Who Dared to Speak Out

A Woman Among Warlords: The Extraordinary Story of an Afghan Woman Who Dared to Speak Out with Malalai Joya Malalai Joya is an extraordinary young woman who helped build a free medical clinic and orphanage in her impoverished home province of Farah; as well as a constitutional assembly in Kabul. She became the youngest person elected to Afghanistan's new Parliament, but in 2007 was suspended for her persistent criticism of the warlords, drug barons and their cronies. She has survived four assassination attempts and now sleeps only in safe houses, while accompanied at all times by armed guards. Malalai takes us inside her important and insufficiently understood country, explaining the desperate day-to-day situations its remarkable people face at every turn, and recounts some of the many acts of rebellion that are helping to change it. A controversial political figure in one of the most dangerous places on earth, Malalai Joya is a woman of tremendous grit and determination, a shero in the struggle for self-determination, for peace and justice.

Rev. Susie's Surfin' Halloween Show

So..what does surfing have to do with Halloween? Not a whole hell of a lot, at first blush. But scratch the wax surface and you might find that surfboard is really a coffin lid. In the mid-'60s, when the spooky/weird trend of THE ADDAMS FAMILY and THE MUNSTERS took pop culture by storm, an ultragothic/ultracreepy vibe mixed with the minor-key twanging of surf guitar riffs and coalesced into the subgenre of Spooky Surf Music. Bands with names like The Deadly Ones or Morgus and the Dairingers [sic] played twangy-yet-foreboding instrumentals layered with howls and thunder and creepy laughter SFX, disposable songs that at the time were treated as little more than novelty records--but this music had the staying power of the Undead, because the Spooky Surf Music tradition continues to this day with contemporary surf bands like The Ghastly Ones and The Sinisters. And in my search for the most guitar-a-riffic sounds, I often veered outside the lines into nonsurf genres and was richly rewarded for it by discovering Darling Pet Munkee, a band whose mission it is to write a song for every cheesy ad found in the back of comicbooks--like songs about Hypno-Coins, X-Ray Spex, and "Real Dirt from Dracula's Castle" Necklaces! And I had to add Lux Interior and The Cramps because it isn't Halloween without our St. Lux. So far as sweetening the show, I only goosed up the spaces between the songs--but just imagine my expression when I heard the opening of "Ghost Guitars" by Baron Daemon and the Vampires and recognized an Evil Laff effect I use quite often! (That one isn't mine.) And to make up for coasting through this one, I edited a special opening disclaimer that's absolutely larded with creepy SFX to compensate for taking the lazy-assed DJ way out. I hate myself for it, and I feel like I'm cheating the listeners when I just play songs--but since it's not all versions of Nancy Sinatra's "Boots," it's far less painful than my usual fare, so I guess it's kind of a mercy. This is the most low-key Halloween episode I've ever done--in fact, it's so orderly that I can list the tracks as they play: The Sinisters--"Introduction to Terror" The Ghastly Ones--"Surfin' Spooks" The Deadly Ones--"It's Monster Surfin' Time" Darling Pet Munkee--"Monster S-I-Z-E Monster" The Abstracts--"Nightmare" The Surfin' Dead--"Dead Surfers Tell No Tales" Baron Daemon and the Vampires--"Ghost Guitars" The Swanks--"Ghost Train" The Ghastly Ones--"Haulin' Hearse" The Tarantulas--"Like--?--Spellbound" [that's the way the label reads] The Messer Chups--"The Vincent Price Bible" Morgus and the Dairingers--"The Morgus Creep" Convulsing Wind Puppets--"Surfin' Vampire" The Pistols at Dawn--"Surf Monster" The Ghastly Ones--"Shockmonster Surf" As Diabatz--"Witches' Stomp" Hawaii Samurai--"The Shape of Surf to Come" Public Image Limited--"Graveyard" The Cramps--"Surfin' Dead" The Sinisters--"Zombie Waltz"

#295 -- War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning

Prophet and war correspondent CHRIS HEDGES reflects on the psychologically destructive--yet addicting--nature of war. He focuses not on rulers and generals but on the people on the ground--civilians and enlisted soldiers and war correspondents too. This talk is based on his own experience and based on his book, War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning (2002). Plus some additional reflections by Hedges on PTSD among soldiers who fought in World War Two.

Radio News: This Week in Radio News 20131028

First, radio headlines, including the Federal Communications Commission's extension of the low-power FM application window until Nov. 14. Then, a listen back at the 75th anniversary of The Mercury Theatre on the Air's Oct. 30, 1938 broadcast of "The War of the Worlds." Orson Welles was influenced by two earlier, similar "fake newscasts," one in which he portrayed the reporter. Welles also, reportedly, used the radio broadcast of the Hindenburg disaster as a template for his broadcast. For this report, we tune in AT&T phone operators, who remember the calls they received during the broadcast. This report also excerpts Welles press conference the next day, and a radio interview with H.G. Wells, author of "The War of the Worlds" book.

Out of the Woods - Show #185 10-25-13

This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length, but I try to keep them approximately 30 minutes in most cases. Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul
