Welcome to "The Radio Art Hour," a show where art is not just on the radio, but is the radio. "The Radio Art Hour" draws from the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource that aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks made by artists around the world, created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or independent transmission. Come on a journey with us as radio artists explore broadcast radio space through poetic resuscitations and playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers in this hour of radio about radio as an art form. "The Radio Art Hour" features introductions from Philip Grant and Tom Roe, and from Wave Farm Radio Art Fellows Karen Werner and Jess Speer. The Conet Project's recordings of numbers radio stations serve as interstitial sounds. Go to wavefarm.org for more information about "The Radio Art Hour" and Wave Farm's Radio Art Archive.

John Englander: Moving To Higher Ground
April 27, 2021, 5:07 p.m.
Summer is nearly upon us. The next time you're at the beach, gazing upon the blue horizon, take a moment to contemplate the depths of the sea, and the ways that the ocean is changing. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with oceanographer and author John Englander to take a deep dive into rising sea levels and his book "Moving To Higher Ground." We examine the latest predictions by the scientific community, discuss the various challenges that coastal regions around the globe face, and ponder the policies needed to mitigate the encroaching threat of higher and higher tides.
Saving Redwoods in Northern California - Pomo Indian Perspective
April 27, 2021, 3:17 p.m.
A call for support went out early in 2021. Logging was to begin in a coast redwood forest in Mendocino County on the Pacific ocean that many of us believed was protected since it is owned by the State of California. The State purchased almost 50,000 acres from a bankrupt logging company in 1949. The Jackson Demonstration State Forest, located between the city of Willits inland and Fort Bragg on the coast, is managed by CalFire, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Research showed quickly that CalFire, except for a short pause, never stopped logging the land of their second growth coast redwoods. But now, in the age of climate change and devastating forest fires, their timber harvest plans come under intense scrutiny. CalFire claims their logging reduces fire danger; the community and fire ecologist say cutting large second growth redwoods takes out the trees that are most fire resistant. They also demand protection for coast redwoods in order to slow down climate change. Redwood trees can live for up to 2,000 years all the while removing carbon from the air.
In early April 2021 two of the biggest redwoods marked for cut were occupied by tree sitters and as of today, April 27, logging has not yet begun.
Meanwhile something else is holding up the chainsaws, bulldozers and road builders that are ready to begin logging. The local tribe of Pomo Indians is intervening in the process since much of the Jackson Demonstration State Forest is on their ancestral land. When this area was an intact old growth forest as recently as in the mid 18-hundreds there existed a network of villages and trails between the coast and the Little Lake Valley inland.
My thanks to the radio program Pomo Perspective and the Program Director of KZYX, Alicia Bales, for permission to rebroadcast a conversation that took place on April 19, 2021. You will hear from a Pomo tribal elder, Priscilla Hunter, and the long-time indigenous rights attorney, Polly Girvin. Opening music clip by Holly Near.

NDP Favors NATO Adventurism in Ukraine
April 27, 2021, 1:39 p.m.
Phil interviews Yves Engler about his latest article, entitled, "Does the NDP want a war with Russia?"
Yves describes the NDP as pro-military and pandering to the right-wing Ukrainian community in Canada. For these reasons, the NDP supports every Liberal budget proposal to spend $100s of billions on new fighter jets and warships.
The NDP supports Canadian military deployments to Latvia, Ukraine, and Romania, as well as Canadian naval deployments to the South China Sea, where it participates in 'Freedom of Navigation' exercises, despite the fact that the USA has never signed the relevant treaty.
According to Engler, despite the fact that it's so dangerous to station NATO troops right on Russia's borders, the NDP is always pushing the Liberal government to be even more aggressive.
There is a dichotomy between the NDP membership and the party hierarchy. In 1969, the membership passed a resolution at Convention to withdraw from NATO. Ed Broadbent, while leader, quietly removed the resolution from the resolutions book.
Currently, the party base prefers spending on social programs, infrastructure, and environmental protection. However, Randall Garrison, the party's defence critic, and Deputy Foreign Affairs Critic Heather McPherson are more shrill supporters of the military spending than the government itself.
While the Trudeau government talks incessantly about a "rules-based international order," it violates international law on a regular basis by levelling illegal unilateral sanctions on 19 countries and by meddling in the internal affairs of countries such as Venezuela and Syria.
All the while, the NDP demands even more resources for the Canadian military-security establishment. They do it because they want to avoid criticism from the mainstream media and certain ethnic groups for being off-message. The NDP's militaristic message puts Canadians in danger of war with Russia and China.

A smart, funny, and important talk on advertising's image of women.
With wit and humor, JEAN KILBOURNE shows the preposterous body images, emotional styles, sexuality, and attitudes towards violence that consumer advertising presents to women (and men) as desirable and normal. Kilbourne's critique is far from radical, but it is very sound, very interesting, and in places very funny. Both men and women will find this talk well worth a listen.
