May 27, 2020, 8:47 p.m.
Vladivostok, Russia, at the very eastern end of Siberia, is a city of about 800,000 people. It is the same distance north of the equator as is central Oregon and Rome, Italy. Itâs close to the border of China and North Korea. This city was closed to everyone, including Russians, until the early 1990s. Halle Brady and Mike Brady, formerly of Potter Valley, California, spent two years teaching in Vladivostok and, in this program, we shared their experiences there.
Mike Brady recommends âLeninâs Tomb,â by David Remnick. Halle Brady recommends âGates of November,â by Chiam Potok.

Contradictions tell the story, with songs, skits, and clips from political news shows and late-night comedy routines.

Currently airing on 30 or 40 stations around the world, the network has ordered another 6 months of episodes.

Anand Giridharadas in Conversation: On Wealth VS Democracy - Part ONE of TWO
May 26, 2020, 3:50 p.m.
There are very few writers who went on a book tour - expecting to be done in 3 months - and 2 years later are still in high demand by TV and radio talk shows, universities, high level think tanks, and festivals. Even the Cornona Virus did not slow him down and on May 19, 2020, Anand Giridharadas was interviewed, from his home, for the International Festival of Arts & Ideas in New Haven, Connecticut.
In his book, Giridharadas asked hard questions about corporate philanthropy: Why, for example, should our gravest problems be solved by the unelected upper crust instead of the public institutions that the rich erode by lobbying and dodging taxes?
Elizabeth Nearing is the curator of ideas for the the International Festival of Arts & Ideas. The interviewer is John Dankosky.
Barbara Freese: Industrial Strength Denial
May 26, 2020, 3:06 p.m.
The next time you hear the White House assert that up is down and down is up, consider what paved the way for this template of mendacity. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with environmental attorney and author Barbara Freese about her new book, âIndustrial Strength Denial.â Freese takes us on a historical tour of the havoc that big business has wreaked on the planet and on truth itself. We discuss the climate change denial movement and how it relates to the Trump Administrationâs handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the pernicious legacy of leaded gasoline.
Victoire Ingabire leads struggle for democracy in Rwanda

Don't let "Five Eyes" block international co-operation
May 26, 2020, 2:13 a.m.
Phil asks if it is possible to bring the nations of the world together to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Apparently not, as long as the "Five Eyes" back the USA in its attempt to slough off its responsibility to support the WHO. "Five Eyes" is "an anglophone intelligence alliance." [Wikipedia].
Canada and Australia were part of a US-backed effort to damage China and the WHO in two ways: 1) Trying to criticize China's handling of the pandemic, and 2) arguing for the representation of Taiwan at the WHO.
The Canadian-Australian attempts flopped, because the rest of the WHA membership weren't interested in creating problems, but instead in finding common solutions in the COVID-19 crisis.
The US has been regularly abrogating its international agreements and treaties. Trump's defunding of the WHO is part of a pattern of undermining multilateral organizations and international co-operation.

May 25, 2020, 1:53 p.m.
A bouquet of this and that, not random but loosely structured. Features a fine talk by Mumia Abu-Jamal, two classic satires by The Firesign Theater, and commentary by KD.
The commentary focuses on corruption of language as a tool of the powerful, the sea of propaganda in which we swim, the historical uses of potpourri, the sad similarities of 17th and (U.S.) 21st century responses to pandemics, and the meaning of "Ring Around the Rosie." And yes, the topics are all related.
