Welcome To This World

A collage about the beautiful planet we are a part of, or at least it was, and some ugly beliefs both secular as well as religious that we have inherited, which helps to fuel the continued despoliation of our world. Softer music connects prose and poetry concerning these erroneous myths as well as the beauty and magic to be found, if we but look. Not meant to incite but rather to foster a spirit of recollection, clarification and appreciation for what was and what is. See more in program notes.

Revolutionary Doctors

Introduced by Consul General Jesus Rodiguez, Steve Brouwer speaks about the Venezuelan health care system and the program to bring primary health care to all previously denied it due to their poverty. From his experience in researching his recent book on the topic he relates the successes and the obstacles to fully implement "Mission Al Dentro". The foundation of the unique model rests on the Cuban governments program to train doctors who are committed to working in community where ever they are needed. Medical education is free and Cuba has 80,000 doctors. Cuba and Venezuela together have 72,000 students in medical school. This exceeds the number of US students studying to become doctors. Additionally, without the burden of debt that the US system imposes, the new doctors will be free to follow their humanitarian inclinations instead of being channeled by their educational debt burden into a US like system of rationing health care to those who can pay.

S1E6: Climate Change and Development - What Are the (Energy) Solutions?

This episode of Green Grid Radio features an exclusive interview with Right Honorable Helen Clark, United Nations Development Programme Administrator and a three-term Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1999 – 2008. Ms. Clark joined us to speak about Climate Change with regards to development. We discussed the challenges of tackling long-term issues within short-term political cycles, multi-sectorial approaches to addressing climate change, and mechanisms for low carbon development in developing nations, among other topics. We’re also joined by Matt Chalmers. He is a recent Stanford graduate and current J.D. student at U.C. Davis who firmly believes that many of the great challenges of our time must be met with interdisciplinary solutions. In his time at Stanford, Matt wedded a strong background in the physical sciences to the study of the complex social, financial, and policy obstacles to progress on climate change posed by the political and economic structure of our world today.

Janie Rezner interviews Francine Shapiro PhD creator of EMDR

Dr. Shapiro is creator of EMDR (eye desensitization and reprocessing) a new type of psychotherapy with remarkable powers to heal suffering in the wake of a disaster and other traumatic events RAPIDLY, typically after 2 or 3 90 minutes sessions, and uses eye movement or tapping or sound tones to deal with traumatic memories.

We work with inner- city kids, with rape victims and combat veterans . ." Check out her blog at the New York Times www.emdr.com/nyt-blogs.html

Individuality

Childhood is that pivotal period of one’s life where character is forged. In school, children are taught to “fit in” with their arbitrary peer group, to “respect authority,” and most importantly, to never ever deviate from the “norm” (whatever that happens to be at the moment). If one is not a “team player,” they are unjustly ridiculed for their individual autonomy. Indignities against self-determination are an indispensable hallmark of contemporary America.
