June 15, 2017, 9:47 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

Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 22 Rockin' Donald. The show is a make-believe listen to what might happen if a reality television star became the leader of the free world. The show features news clips and songs cut in a way similar to Dickie Goodman, with a Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style. Contributions are welcome to info@wgxc.org. It's a fake news show about the absurdity of the past week that's actually radio theatre, so the news is true.

We start the summer season with probably the fastest paced head spinning show we've ever done. So many edits you'll wonder where your head is to catch up. It's a tribute to the king of the "Break In Record" Dickie Goodman! And, yes, Snarf and Daffy do a bit of "breakin-ing" of their own. Be Afraid, VERY Afraid!
Chrystia Freeland Defiantly Obeys Trump
June 14, 2017, 5:02 p.m.
After Trump scolded fellow NATO members for not pulling their weight, Canadaâs Foreign Minister delivered a policy speech reported as critical of the Donald, which turned out to be an elaborate rationalization of why Canada was going to do exactly what theyâd been told to do. It was an Alice in Wonderland moment.
According to the minister, the âindispensable nationâ was laying aside itâs mantle of leadership and little-big Canada would have fill the gap until the giant reawakens to its duties. As Murray Dobbin explains, the Freeland speech is an exercise in malarkey.

Paul Pillar on Trump and Saudis vs. Iran and Qatar
June 14, 2017, 12:08 p.m.
Former CIA analyst Paul Pillar, author of two recent articles for National Interest and Consortium News, ISIS Attack Exposes Anti-Iran Propaganda and Trump Fans the Mideast Fires of Hate, explores the origin of US antagonism towards Iran and false labeling of it as the âleading state sponsor of terrorismâin the years following the World Trade Center attack despite Teheranâs efforts to join the US in fighting terrorism, citing GW Bush's speech declaring Iran part of an âaxis of terrorâ with No. Korea and Iraq, despite the fact that the latter was its enemy.
He points out that Iran, far from being a sponsor of terror, has been actually fighting ISIS, mainly in Iraq but also in Syria and that its most recent link to terrorism may have been the attack on the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996 which killed 19 US servicemen and which a US Court blamed Iran.
He notes that Trump, while demonizing Iran, has given the Saudis a free hand to do what it wishes in the region against its Shia neighbor and has endorsed the Saudis blockade of its leading political competitor in the Sunni world, Qatar, which is home to the largest US base in the region. This flies in the face of Secretary of State Tillerson;s efforts and those of the Pentagon to de-escalate the confrontation.
Two other points of contention between the Saudis and Qatar are the latter's support of the Muslim Brotherhood whose largely peaceful means of incorporating Islam with politics the Saudis see as a threat and its hosting of Al-Jazeera which the Saudis and other Gulf monarchies have long seen as âa thorn in their side.â
Pillar notes that the oil companies have not been playing a major role in formulating US regional policies and that they would prefer being able to do business with Iran, not restricted by sanctions which, Pillar points out, are about to be increased under new Senate legislation
Jeff Blankfort: News/Op: EXCLUSIVE: Why Israel Needed 67 War
June 14, 2017, 11:38 a.m.
Blankfort opens by questioning mantra that âIran is leading state sponsor of terrorism, then moves on to expose Senate support for the real leading state terrorist sponsor, Saudi Arabia and Tuesday's vote against blocking new arms sales to the KSA, quoting Sen. McConnell, Corker and McCain. He notes that approving arms for the Saudis in the midst of a rising cholera epidemic in Yemen is unconscionable and that the US public is complicit.
He then reports on a joint televised meeting between the Israeli Knesset that was streamed to supporters of Israel in the US while the news of which was totally blocked by the US media as was the 50th anniversary of Israel's attack on the USS Liberty. This is further proof that Israel and its supporters in the US determine what is and what isn't reported about Israel in the US media, citing previous censorship of reports about Friends of Israel Defense Force fundraisers.
He then discloses the main reason for the Six Day War, Israel's need to scare Jews into rallying around Israel in the face of non-existent Arab threats at a time when most Jews in the US had lost interest in it.
He concludes by citing Ray McGovern's analysis of Megyn Kelly's interview with Vladimir Putin and exposes the false claim that 17 US intel agencies concluded that Russia hacked the Democrats. Of note is Putin's raising of the possibility that US âspecial servicesâ might have killed JFK.

Dems control People's Summit, excluding Socialist Alternative and Green parties. Dems are the neo-liberal party.
Il state rep will guzzardi 39th, nw chicago. Had to run against Dem establishment. Community popularity beat big party money. Beat smears by talking to the people.

Stop doling out corporate subsidies without clawback for when they move jobs out. IL has terrible tax system that's actually regressive. We must have redistribution, people are looking for alternatives.

Fart-fegnugen: Jack Ewing on VW Emissions Scandal
June 13, 2017, 5:20 p.m.
When a West Virginia University research team won a grant in 2012 to run some tests on diesel cars, they could not have imagined that their relatively small study would soon be bringing one of the largest, most storied auto makers in the world to its knees â something in the Farfegnugen just didnât smell right. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to New York Times reporter Jack Ewing whose new book, "Faster, Higher, Farther" takes a deep plunge into the history of Volkswagen and gives us the latest on the companyâs emissions scandal. We learn about the Nazi propaganda beginnings of Volkswagen, the companyâs involvement in wartime atrocities, and the powerful families behind the Volkswagen brand. We also examine the companyâs systematic and dishonest emissions cheating practices, and talk about what lies ahead for the auto giant.
Michael Parenti: Capitalism's Apocalypse (ONE of ONE)
June 13, 2017, 4:19 p.m.
Parenti predicted the financial crisis of 2008 and said that giant corporate capitalism â by itâs very nature â is an apocalyptic system. When unregulated the built in elements of ever increased growth may well bring the whole system down. And he described the growing national debt not as a tragic mistake but as a means to shift ever more money from the tax payers to the financial institutions in the form of interest payments. This speech is an analysis of the many structural flaws of a capitalist system that puts it on a permanent collision course with democracy.
Recorded on August 23, 2008 at the closing reception for Maria Gilardinâs art show, entitled: Toasting the End of Capitalism.
This rebroadcast, made in June 2017, is eerily contemporary and lends a historic perspective to current events.
