Winnipeg's Kurdish Community Comments on Afrin Attacks
Feb. 8, 2018, 2:33 p.m.
Starting January 20th, the Turkish government under President Recep Erdogan launched Operation Olive Branch. As many as 500 people including 142 civilians are estimated to have died following cross-border shelling and airstrikes on Kurd-populated Afrin in the north west region of Syria. President Erdogan justifies this offensive as self-defence against terrorists, but may there be ulterior motives to the Turkish military's aggression.
In this interview conducted two weeks into the offensive by veteran CKUW programmer Michael Welch, two guests from the Kurdish-Canadian community in Winnipeg share their thoughts about what is behind this offensive and what Canadians can do to ameliorate the crisis.
This interview aired on the morning news show People of Interest on Tuesday February 6th.

Out of the Woods - Show #410 - 2-17-18
Feb. 8, 2018, 6:03 a.m.
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

Daniel Ellsberg - The Doomsday Machine (TWO of TWO)
Feb. 6, 2018, 7:59 p.m.
In 1969 Daniel Ellsberg secretly copied the plans for the United States â Vietnam Relations, 1945â1967, later to be published as the Pentagon Papers. What was not known widely until late 2017 is that Ellsberg also copied the top secret plans for nuclear war that he consulted on for the Department of Defense and drafted for Secretary Robert McNamara.
Some of these papers, along with his first person report of the history of nuclear war planning, have now finally been published to high acclaim. The publication comes at an extraordinarily auspicious and dangerous time as nuclear tensions are mounting and the US president is challenging North Korea.
This program begins with two excerpts from the Nobel Awards in Oslo. ICAN, The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, received the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of their efforts âto draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weaponsâ and their âground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weaponsâ.
ICAN is a coalition of non-governmental organizations in 100 countries. They are promoting the implementation of the United Nations Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty. This landmark global agreement was voted on in New York City on July 7, 2017.
Daniel Ellsberg is currently on tour for his most recent book - The Doomsday Machine. Even though the book is in large measure a memoir Ellsberg is always being asked questions about the nuclear threats of the day, North Korea and President Trump's public announcements about fire, fury and total destruction.
Ellsberg spoke at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on December 12, 2017. He was being interviewed by Dr. Gloria Duffy, President and CEO of the Club
Ellsberg shows that the legacy of this most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilization--and its proposed renewal under the Trump administration--threatens our very survival. No other insider with high-level access has written so candidly of the nuclear strategy of the late Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, and nothing has fundamentally changed since that era.

Sullivan, Michael Gene — Political Theater, Black Men and the Police
Feb. 6, 2018, 5:19 p.m.
Theatre as a commentary on the condition of society is the subject of this edition of Radio Curious. The topic is the relationship of police and black men in America in 2015. Our guest is Michael Gene Sullivan, the resident playwright, director and a principal actor in â2015: Freedomland,â this yearâs production by the San Francisco Mime Troupe.
The first question and answer on the frequently asked questions page on the San Francisco Mime Troupe website is: âWhy do you call yourself a Mime Troupe if you talk and sing?â The answer is: âWe use the term mime in its classical and original definition, âThe exaggeration of daily life in story and song.'â
When Michael Gene Sullivan and I visited by phone from his home in San Francisco on June 29, 2015, I asked him if â2015: Freedomlandâ was an exaggeration of daily life in story and song from his perspective.
The book Michael Gene Sullivan recommends is âThe Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of Americaâs Police Force,â by Redley Balko.

Maya van Rossum and the Green Amendment Movement
Feb. 6, 2018, 1:03 p.m.
When the crafters of the Declaration of Independence affirmed âlife, liberty, and the pursuit of happinessâ as inalienable rights, they could not have known that private industry practices like fracking would one day pose grave dangers to the holders of those rights. Our guest today on Sea Change Radio, Maya van Rossum, asserts not only that protection from these dangers should be understood as inalienable, but that environmental protections should be explicitly named in our constitution. Van Rossum is the executive director of Delaware Riverkeepers and the author of a new book, The Green Amendment. We talk about her organizationâs success in curbing fracking in Pennsylvania, how her work serves as a potential template for fighting fracking elsewhere, and the movement underway to pass a constitutional amendment for a healthy environment.
Black History Month and Political Prisoners USA
Feb. 6, 2018, 12:40 p.m.
Back in the USSR begins Black History Month by focusing on the bitter truth of how African-Americans remain a colonized people within a racist American society. Racism exists and remains virulent in this age of Trump, rising fascism, hate and escalating violence. Afro-Americans continue to be killed by the police. Working class black people in particular continue to live in poverty and continue to face systemic discrimination in schools, in housing, and on the job market. Americaâs prisons remain disproportionately packed with black people and African-American political prisoners remain behind bars. Itâs this issue of political prisoners that I want to begin with tonight, because America has them and has them in considerable numbers in spite of the American governmentâs wholesale denial of this fact.
