Sonic Cafe #114/Fast Food Feast

Sonic Café with the Smithereens… how you doin’? I’m Scott Clark, sitting here enjoying a giant whammy burger and fries, as we bust out a Fast Food Feast on episode 114 of the Sonic Café. Though we’ll never admit it, we American’s love our fast food. Over 230 thousand fast food locations, ringing up $198 billion dollars in sales a year suggest that a few of us may be hiding our love for all that flame broiled flavor and deep fried goodness. Heck, 79% of us visit MacDonald’s at least once a year. So to celebrate our secret passion for all food that is fast the Sonic Café presents a musical feast cooked up from over 40 years. Listen for the Allman Brothers, Deep Blue Something, a Billie Holiday remix, Larry Cordie, MonkeyJunk and more. We’ll also join comedian Jeff Richards and his uncle’s friend at Denny’s, and also listen in on Patrick Stewart, Star Trek’s captain Picard, at a MacDonald’s drive thru. And finally, a big Sonic Café welcome to our newest sponsor… Almost Pizza… it’s practically pizza in every way except for a few key ones. Sounds yummy. So join us for our fast food feast at the little café on the coast that’s always grillin’ up a big, juicy whammy burger… we’re the Sonic Café.

Your Life is Their Toy - Part 14

Health and life are man's most precious possessions; and anxiety to preserve them is natural. It is not surprising, therefore, that they have been exploited since time immemorial. Every age has had its charlatans, quacks and medicine men. Much in the same measure as social organization has attained its highest pitch in the present era, the exploitation of health and life today has reached its zenith. Never before in history has there arisen such an extensive conspiracy about the problem of public health of entire nations, involving well-organized, opposing political and commercial groups. The consequence of this welter of exploitation is the sacrifice of human comfort, happiness, health and life. --Emanuel Josephson, 1941, "Your Life is Their Toy."

Out of the Woods - Show #452 - 12-8-18

This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length. Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Kate MacLeod, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

Donald Macintyre: Deconstructing Gaza for those who want to know!

Donald Macintyre, former Jerusalem correspondent for the Independent of London has written the most comprehensive and detailed history of Gaza since the 1967 war in which he mixes very human stories with historical analysis in a manner that is easily accessible for those who both support and sympathize with the Palestinians under occupation and those who have an historical interest in understanding this seemingly intractable conflict. The interview begins with Macintyre explaining why the latest flare-up between Israel and Hamas did not lead to a fourth war by Israel in the decade as many anticipated and why Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu broke with hardline members of his cabinet in agreeing to a cease fire when ALL of Israel’s political parties except the leftist Meretz were calling for war. His book is a “must read” for all those with an interest in the Palestinian struggle for justice.

Jeff Blankfort News/Op: Gaza, Rand Paul, Airbnb, Assange

I begin my comparing the situation at the US-Mexico border with that of the Gazans and Israel and note that US foreign policy has been responsible for both. I speak briefly of Gaza ceasefire and failure of ultra Zionist Jewish Home party which opposed it to force new elections. I then turn to Sen, Rand Paul's hold on bringing the $38 billion US arms to Israel act to a Senate vote which the media has ignored and the lobbying by AIPAC and Christian Zionists to pressure Paul to release his hold. Unless he does there can be no vote on the act. I go from that to Airbnb's decision ahead of Human Rights Watch criticism to delist rentals in the West Bank and efforts, legal and ministerial to get Airbnb to back down. If it doesn't this will represent the most important victory yet for the BDS movement. I then quote from essay in Time by Vietnamese-American Viet Tranh Nyguen on racism, war and intervention being an indelible pattern in US history and conclude with a report on the threatened status of Julian Assange in the UK Ecuadoran Embassy after new president, Lenin Moreno, removes ambassador friendly to Assange. I end by suggesting that how people respond to the prosecution of Assange will be a moment of truth.

Ellinger, Jim- What is Community Radio

Community Radio is one of the most personal forms of radio.  It exists world-wide and provides basic information in times of crises and normalcy.  Jim Ellinger, of Austin Airwaves (http://austinairwaves.blogspot.com/), is our guest in this edition of Radio Curious. He is known for his lifelong fascination with the medium of radio. In describing Austin Airwaves Ellinger wrote:  It is an independent community media group based in Austin, TX. In recent years it has been most involved in establishing and developing community-based FM radio stations, both low and full power. Increasingly these stations have been in developing nations including Haiti, Borneo, Panama, Mozambique, and most-recently Cameroon, as well as in post-disaster communities in the United States, including New Orleans and Houston, post-Katrina and Wimberley, Texas, after a deadly flood.  As is revealed on Ellinger’s website, austinairwaves.blogspot.com, he now “spends much of his time and effort assisting a variety of media, co-op and business groups around the world. Ellinger has visited more than 100 cities in 25 countries and territories since 9/11.” He is an international leader in emergency broadcasting technology for disaster management.  When Jim Ellinger visited with Radio Curious by phone from his home in Austin, Texas, he began by telling the story of when he first became involved with radio.  The book Jim Ellinger recommends is “The Man Who Planted Trees: A Story of Lost Groves, the Science of Trees, and a Plan to Save the Planet,” by Jim Robbins. This program was recorded on November 17, 2018.

America Was Never Great: Slavery, Neo-Slavery and the Continuing Savage Oppression of Black People in the "Free-est Country in the World"!

Douglas Blackmon, author, Slavery by Another Name, reveals a stunning portrait of post Civil War neo-slavery where Black Americans were re-enslaved throughout the South on farms and in factories up until World War 2; Bob Avakian, chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, digs into just how endemic the oppression of Black people is to American capitalism and democracy and sharply poses the question: What kind of society, what kind of system, is this?

Mark Schapiro: Reaping What You Sow

There's no time better than after a holiday of feasting to remember where we get our food. Ultimately, most of our complex recipes begin with the simple seed. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to author and environmental journalist Mark Schapiro to discuss the current state of agribusiness and his book Seeds of Resistance. We take a look back at his last book, Carbon Shock, to see how it has weathered the past five years of increased climate change-related events, discuss the unlikely feud over corn nuts and examine some of the valuable work of leading seed advocates around the globe.

Paul Stamets: Mushrooms, Bees, and Saving the World, 2018

As forests burn across the US and misguided attempts to prevent fires by clear-cutting or raking the forest floor are being proposed, TUC Radio remembers the mycologist and author Paul Stamets. He is calling attention to the fact that old growth forests contain organisms that can heal us, feed us, or kill us. More than any other scientist practicing today, Paul Stamets has dedicated himself to the life of fungi and that of their underground support system, the mycelium. Stamets says that the mycelia are soil magicians. They give rise not just to mushrooms but form an integral part of the forest ecosystem. The mycelia are disassemblers, creating the debris fields that then feed their fungal descendants. They also show purpose in choosing microbial allies, and Stamets believes they are part of the earth’s natural internet that is in constant bio-molecular communication, governing the ecosystem. Paul Stamets has studied mushrooms for over 40 years. He discovered new species of fungi, saved ancient ones from extinction, and pioneered countless techniques of mushroom cultivation. Along the way he found many ways how fungi can be healers of people and the environment. His premise is that that mushroom mycelium connects the immune systems between humans and environment - and that premise has been proven many times in his collaborations with scientific institutions and labs. Paul Stamets is a frequent guest at the Bioneer conferences and at TED talks. But the so-called conventional scientists appreciate his work as well. That includes medical research into cancer as well as the University of Illinois-Chicago's Institute for Tuberculosis Research and the Department of Health and Human Services' biodefense program.
