Did you know that 300 years ago people had larger jaws? Why would this be the case and why is it important? Paul Ehrlich, the founding father of modern population sciences, is here to talk about his new book which is a bit of a diversion from his usual work warning us to not have too many kids. This time, Ehrlich, along with co-author and orthodontist Sandra Kahn, explore the links between jaw size and an increased risk of heart disease, cancer, sleep apnea and hyperactivity. Today, Ehrlich discusses the evolutionary biology of jaws and talks about what people can do to reverse what he calls a âhidden epidemic.â
The Life and Times of Utah Phillips (TWO of TWO) Archive - updated
May 15, 2018, 11:40 a.m.
From the archives of TUC Radio - this is a celebration of his life and an account, in his own words, of how he became an activist.
In this Part TWO Utah talked about founding the Poor People's Party, working with the Mormon Church, the Black Panthers and Judi Bari, and how he became involved with the Singer Songwriters movement. He closed with moving, enduring advice on how to work and organize together.
In the early-1960s, Phillips was involved with Fair Play for Cuba and the struggle for open housing laws in Utah. In 1968, he was nominated and campaigned for the U.S. Senate on the Peace and Freedom ticket. The experience led to Phillips being dismissed from his job with the Utah State Archives.
Following the election, Phillips remained in Utah for a year, working for the Migrant Council and living on a cot in the back of a big warehouse called "The Cosmic Airplane". Encouraged by friends, including folk singer Rosalie Sorrels, to try his hand at performing, Phillips moved to the East Coast in 1969. He settled, for several years, in Sarasota Springs, New York, where he became a regular performer at Cafe Lena.
Phillips was a proud member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW or Wobblies). His view of unions and politics were shaped by his parents, especially his Mom who was a labor organizer for the CIO. But Phillips was more of a Christian Anarchist and a pacifist, so found the modern-day Wobblies to be the perfect fit for him, an iconoclast and artist.
At the end of his life Phillips lived in Nevada City, California where he hosted a weekly, one-hour, radio show, Loafer's Glory: The Hobo Jungle of the Mind. The Hospitality House that he co-founded still shelters the Homeless. The folk singer, labor organizer, storyteller, activist and poet Utah Phillips was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 15, 1935, he died in Nevada City, CA, on May 23, 2008.
Utah Phillips came to the Unitarian Fellowship Hall in Berkeley on May 18, 2004, to talk about his life. Recorded by Maria Gilardin.

#532 -- Ending the Many Wars in Syria, Part 2 (R)
May 14, 2018, 2:44 p.m.
In a fine speech, Phyllis Bennis argues that several wars are now being fought in Syria. There is no military solution to the disaster--so let's try diplomacy instead.
This week Bennis refutes several American myths about Syria ... shows why imposing a "no-fly zone" is in fact going to war ... explores the staggering financial cost of the U.S. involvement ... and proposes four U.S. actions that would do far more good than war.
