"Donald Drumpf Theatre" is an original radio theatre show about a fictional, theatrical presidency, with most sounds culled from the previous week. Contradictions tell the story, with songs, skits, and clips from political news shows and late-night comedy routines. The definition of "radio theatre" is stretched here, with an updated Dickie Goodman and/or Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style sometimes, and a more straightforward take other weeks. The network has currently ordered another 15 episodes, but there are threats of cancellation. Anyone who would like to contribute to the show should contact info@wgxc.org.

Linda McQuaig tells the success stories of public ownership, such as Ontario Hydro, the Canadian National Railway, and the CBC. Phil asks her opinion of the closure of GM Oshawa. McQuaig states that she supports the workers' demand that the plant be nationalized to produce electric vehicles.

emember School House Rock? if no, we'll tell you, if yes, we'll remind you. We're getting a bit risque with music to strip by (with your husband around!!) and another 3 minute dramatic TV movie from David Geddes...he sorta was the poster child in the 70s for those things.

Phil interviews Rick Sterling of the Syria Solidarity Movement about his impressions of the conference last week in Damascus of the General Confederation of Trade Unions of Syria, whose theme was "Solidarity with Syria vs. economic sanctions." Sterling describes the difficulties caused to ordinary Syrians by Western sanctions. Nonetheless, he describes Damascus as a lively, vibrant city. Sterling also discusses the current situation of the war with terrorists, who are sponsored by Turkey, in Idlib Province as well as the U.S. occupation of the oil-rich eastern third of the country.

There is strong historical and anthropological evidence that dogs came across the Bering land bridge with people migrating from Siberia to Alaska. These dogs worked hard to maintain their keep; they werent pets. Instead, they chased and ran down polar bears and located seals hiding beneath the Bering ice. One of the early dog professionals in Alaska was Harry Karstens, who later became the first superintendent of Mount McKinley National Park. As a young man, he pioneered a dog sled route from Fairbanks to Valdez, and hauled mail to the Katishna mining district. Now, at Denali National Park in central Alaska, theres a breeding and training and leadership program for these sled dogs. I spoke with Gary Coy, the director of this remarkable kennel. In his office there is a large sign quoting Harry Karstens. It says: A man driving a dog team is the biggest dog himself. Amid the noise and the chatter of the dog kennels in Denali Park, I asked Gary to explain what that sign means and to tell us a little about this wonderful project. Gary Coy recommends A Dog-Puncher on the Yukon, by Arthur Walden. Originally Broadcast: August 28, 1996

On June 6, 2019 Joanna Macy, the environmental activist, author, scholar of Buddhism and Deep Ecology was one of two keynote speakers at The New School at Commonweal’s Resilience Project in Bolinas, California. A longtime San Francisco/Bay Area resident - she had just celebrated her 90th birthday. The question, that the participants at the Commonweal event had come to explore, was: Is resilience a possible response in the face of climate change and civilizational collapse. And what might resilience look like. Joanna Macy gave a personal and movingly psychological/philosophical talk, led a brief exercise in Open Questioning and closed with generous credits to writers and their ideas that are helpful in navigating and intervening in the collapsing civilization around us.

For all the blather about our democracy, the Constitution, Bill of Rights, we have slipped into statism by calling it something else. You can call the coming Brave New World the New World Order, global communism, socialism, fascism--it makes no difference--the world is headed irrevocably toward totalitarianism. We supposedly vanquished the Third Reich, but like a demonic spirit exorcised from its former host that needs to invest another, the Nazi ethos found a new home here and is driving us toward our orchestrated end. It can't happen here? It's happening here.

This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to Ian Urbina, a longtime investigative reporter for the New York Times whose latest book "The Outlaw Ocean" reveals many of the hidden costs of the seafood and shipping industries. After listening to Urbina discuss his book that took five years to research and led him around the globe through some of the deadliest waters on earth, it'll make you realize that the reason something is impossibly cheap is because far too often it involves impossible human suffering.
