The Global Land Grab: Frederick Kaufman Part II
Aug. 5, 2013, 6:36 p.m.
We often hear about the resource curse in developing countries in terms of oil or precious minerals -- most of us don't associate the concept with food. But as this week's guest on Sea Change Radio, food journalist Frederick Kaufman, has chronicled, in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa the resource of fertile land is being exploited in a way that is reminiscent of how other marketable resources have been appropriated.
Multinational companies and foreign governments are buying up mass tracts of land in poorer nations, growing food on that land, but then shipping all of it off elsewhere, depriving the populations of those countries both the resource and the profit it garnered. Kaufman explores how this reflects a change in global food security patterns, and offers his take on how enormous financial institutions like Goldman Sachs are reaping profits while others starve.
Nikolai's Russia + Bradley's Leaks + more LGBT news
Aug. 5, 2013, 6:12 p.m.
Vladimir Putin plays Russian roulette with the Winter Olympics; a U.S. Army judge measures Bradley Manning's guilt; the new Pope says he won't "judge" gay priests, activists align with gay bar owners to "Dump Stoli", U.S. citizens get equal visa rights for their same-gender spouses, marriage equality bells ring in Minnesota and Rhode Island, and more global LGBT news.
"The Presumed Innocence of Capitalism and Lac Mégantic"
Aug. 5, 2013, 5:40 p.m.
Harry Glasbeek is back, and he's ready to talk about the Lac Mégantic disaster.
His recent article "The Presumed Innocence of Capitalism and Lac Mégantic" engages several questions: Why were people with little experience allowed to run this train?
How can we trust a system that places the accumulation of profit above all else? Glasbeek tackles the externalizing beast and its inevitable consequences for public safety.

Aug. 5, 2013, 10 a.m.
Richmond's part in the history of human trafficking looms large than in most cities, but it ended in 1865... or did it? Human trafficking -- modern slavery -- remains a worldwide epidemic and the Gray Haven Project is working with its victims. Also, Dale Brumfield, himself a living legend in the world of alt weekly publications, talks about his new book exploring Richmond's prominent place near the center of the nation's alternative weekly universe.

Rev. Susie the Floozie's ATOMIKA Show
Aug. 5, 2013, 1:17 a.m.
It's early August, that time of year when thoughts lightly turn to irradiating death raining from the skies--I mean, more than usual. In this show, I trace the rise of the Atomic Overlords and their squamous cell-mutating legacy, at least as I see it through the reality-warping marvel of Recombinant Comedyâ¢! (Actually, I prefer splitting beavers to splitting atoms, but to each his own.) So seal yourself in the blockhouse, and put on those shade, because there's gonna be a blast of cosmic proportions coming up that's going to permanently blow yer hair back. And be sure to strap yourself in with extra rations of survival eats and double up on the Depends, because this show has a longer half-life than the usual BSTF episode.

An occasional supplement to the Radio Thrift Shop
Broadcast One Hundred Thirty Five
Aug. 4, 2013, 2:09 p.m.
Radio Thrift Shop is a low-tech, DIY, freeform exploration of music from the last century of recorded sound and music in all genres ... including 78s, reel to reels, cassettes, vinyl records and even endangered cds. Each week I play an ecclectic blend of tunes released between 1900 (more or less) and next week. It's never the same program twice. Radio Thrift Shop is music and culture in the spirit of free radio
Deconstructing Edward Bernays' 'Propaganda' (Pt. 9)
Aug. 4, 2013, 10:57 a.m.
There is perhaps no truer application of the adage 'actions speak louder than words' than in examining the life and work of 'The Father of Public Relations', Edward Bernays. While on one hand, Bernays seemingly supported women's liberation, his advertising techniques contributed heavily to making smoking a socially viable and desirable activity for women.
Episode 81 of the Smells Like Human Spirit Podcast focuses on Chapter 7 ('Women's Activities and Propaganda'). Past attitudes to women's smoking, Bernays' influence, and the long-term effects of his strategies are all discussed; and in the end, you may see that the more that things have changed, the more that they have stayed the same.
BONUS: This show contains an interview with Dr. Jerry Kroth, Professor Emeritus at Santa Clara University, on the topic of propaganda techniques. Enjoy!

African Economics: Capitalism, Socialism or Something Else? (08.03.2013)
Aug. 3, 2013, 9:48 p.m.
TheAngryindian speaks with Twitter comrade SelfMade_G22 about the issue of African economic independence across the entire Afro-Diaspora. The discussion looks at capitalism, its paradigms, its faults and how Africans at home and ALAâs (Africans Living Abroad) must learn the rules of the game for the sake of community survival. This is an excellent dispatch showing how two diametrically opposed political positions can converse intelligently and respectfully on subjects of importance and find common ground.
