The transition from fossil fuels to a cleaner energy future is perhaps the most important human adaptation of our lifetime. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Chris Nelder about his mission to take a deep dive into energy, on a fortnightly basis, as the host of the Energy Transition Show podcast. We discuss his travels as a digital nomad, look at some of the energy stories he’s been covering, and get into a larger conversation about what needs to happen to see this transition through.
The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit Show - A musical mid-life crisis -- a late-night search for meaning and happiness airs on WRIR LP Monday nights from 9 PM to 11 PM. Stream the show @ www.wrir.org
San Francisco’s historic Valentines Days remembered; Russia convicts petty rainbow “criminals” as “extremist”, Alberta’s Premier trumpets provincial transgender persecution, a U.S. appeals court backs a ban on enforcement of Idaho’s pediatric transgender healthcare ban, Utah trans people are barred from bathrooms that match their gender identity, Florida’s Motor Vehicles Department now denies drivers license gender changes, and Switzerland’s ages-old yodeling tradition finally “goes gay.”
All that and more this week when you discover “This Way Out”, the world’s audio oasis for LGBTQ+ news and culture.
Human displacement and homelessness keep growing and growing. In a "parable" of uncertain attribution, there's a community struggling to save babies who float down river in increasing numbers, and someone says "Let's find out who's putting them in there." Brazilian environmentalist and organizer Magda Renner made it her duty to find out. Renner passed away in 2016, at nearly 90 years of age. This is her address to the World Women's Congress for a Healthy Planet in 1991. On her list of causes are war, mining, land grabs, nuclear radiation, pesticides, masculine-style politics and development, and environmental destruction. She says women need to be in decision-making but not lose their humane values when they enter that realm. This meeting attended by 1500 women from around the world was a lead-in to the first UN Conference on the Environment in Rio de Janeiro, 1992. Update 2024.

Sonic Café, The More You Get, that’s Mose Allison from the 1988 Gimcracks and Gegaws album, love that title. Hey, I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 374, welcome to the café. This time the Sonic Café taps into our consumerist culture, of getting more stuff, cheaper and faster in a thing we’re calling More of Everything. Our music mix is pulled from 51 years. Every tune in this set is either about wanting more, or conversely the question, how much is too much. Listen for The Police, Yes, Frank Zappa, bluesman Leo Welch, Goo Goo Dolls, Ani DiFranco and of course many more. Also, comedian Ronny Chieng describes America as the land of the free, and the land of never leaving your houses in a rant about Amazon Prime not being fast enough, so they gave us Amazon Now. Funny stuff and great observations all straight ahead as the Sonic Café brings you more of everything, in another episode of intelligent eclectic music, comedy and pop culture, from way out here in the Pacific Northwest. Here’s More Than Ever, this is Robert Palmer, and as always, we’re the Sonic Café.
This week on the Global Research News Hour we mark the two year anniversary of the arrival of the Canadian Freedom Convoy of truckers into Ottawa by speaking to two people with opposing viewpoints on the way the Convoy was treated by Federal government officials and on the recent ruling by Judge Mosley that the Emergencies Act violated their rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Our guests are Brenda Knight of the Centretown Community Health Centre and co-chair of the Ottawa Peoples Committee on the Convoy Occupation, and Kristen Nagle, one of the named Plaintiffs in the Federal Court examining the Charter Rights of the Trucker Convoy supporters.
