How well does the mass media service democracy? According to Professor Emeritus Timothy Pilgrim of Western Washington University, this is the key question to consider in analyzing the effects of mass media. Timothy previously appeared on the Smells Like Human Spirit Podcast back in Episode 25, in a show titled 'Necessary Illusions'. He returned to the podcast to expand on that conversation, and touch on some other related topics. Enjoy!

Constance Malcolm, mother of Ramarley Graham
In the wake of a grand jury's failure to indict killer cop Richard Haste, Constance Malcolm, the slain youth's mother said, "[I] am more than outraged, Richard Haste broke into our home and killed my son in cold blood.

We will continue to fight without rest until we win justice."

James McGreen: THE FUTURE OF ELECTRIC CARS?
Aug. 20, 2013, 10:45 p.m.
McGreen and friends built a prototype for an electric vehicle that is not a car, that is not yet in mass production, that is assembled from parts used by early VW, electronics from Silicon Valley, lithium batteries from China, and a motor invented by Nicola Tesla in the 1890s. A vehicle design that raises an important question about the future of electric transport. Is the automobile as we know it really the only model for personal electric vehicles? Are there lighter, simpler solutions that use less power but might remain impossible if traffic is dominated by cars that weigh 3,000 lbs and more and shoot along at murderous speeds?
McGreen, is the principal inventor of the Switch Vehicle, an electric three wheel motorcycle, an open crash cage design with up to four seats. Adaptable with a loading deck to carry equipment, or as many as 12 people for off road use, it is highway legal and easily reaches 55 miles per hour. The smallest available battery pack gives it a a range of about 50 miles.

Azzam Alwash: Iraqi Environmentalist Pt. I
Aug. 20, 2013, 3:10 p.m.
We are not very used to hearing good news about Iraq these days. Nor is there an abundance of feel good stories about the earthâs dwindling wetlands. So, when this weekâs guest successfully launched an effort to restore the Mesopotamian marshlands in southern Iraq which had been drained, poisoned and burned under Saddam Hussein in the mid-nineties, it got a fair amount of attention.
Azzam Alwash went about refilling these wetlands, once an abundant area for diverse wildlife, by gathering support in Iraqâs prickly political landscape and applying his own complex understanding of hydraulic engineering. The struggle is far from over, but given the heroic actions he has taken, itâs no surprise Dr. Alwash is the most recent winner of the Goldman Prize, the environmental equivalent of the Oscars â and this weekâs guest on Sea Change Radio.

I have been looking for a set with depth but a brief surface charge, and at the end of a long set of rare soul and dark politics and Beatle covers, these Billie Holiday classics opened up such a world for me. Using some ghostly covers buried in echo, I found my dream ballroom. And it's just long enough.
