Welcome to "The Radio Art Hour," a show where art is not just on the radio, but is the radio. "The Radio Art Hour" draws from the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource that aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks made by artists around the world, created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or independent transmission. Come on a journey with us as radio artists explore broadcast radio space through poetic resuscitations and playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers in this hour of radio about radio as an art form. "The Radio Art Hour" features introductions from Philip Grant and Tom Roe, and from Wave Farm Radio Art Fellows Karen Werner, Andy Stuhl, and Jess Speer. The Conet Project's recordings of numbers radio stations serve as interstitial sounds. Go to wavefarm.org for more information about "The Radio Art Hour" and Wave Farm's Radio Art Archive.

Sonic Café, nobody does that quite the way you do, that’s Mark Knopfler from his Down the Road Wherever album. So thanks for stopping by. I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 290. So what’s happened to humor? Seems like the sensitivity police are waiting, twitter feeds in hand, ready to cancel anyone stepping over that politically correct line drawn in the sand. Which is leading us into a new reality of living in a post joke world. A place where the keyboard trolls are at the ready to bury anyone for even the slightest irreverent deviation. Well… as we leave humor behind the Sonic Café sends it off with a bang with a stand up battle between two comedic legends of the deadpan one-liners. Steven Wright and Mitch Hedberg, together in a stand-up battle-royale. Supporting this comedic tour-de-force is a great music mix from 45 years, including Walk Off The Earth, Tom Petty, Amy Winehouse, Kings of Leon and many more. All straight ahead as we give humor the send off it deserves in our new post joke world. Don’t you wish everybody would just lighten up? Yeah, well anyway, hey here’s Too Much To Think About from the B-52’s, we’re the Sonic Café.

"It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land. The scale of recent changes are unprecedented over many centuries to many thousands of years. Human-induced climate change is already affecting many weather and climate extremes in every region across the globe." These words of warning, read by today's guest on Sea Change Radio, Professor Bill Moomaw, are from the most recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (or IPCC). This week we speak with Dr. Moomaw, a climate scientist and longtime faculty member at the Fletcher School at Tufts University, about the inner workings of the IPCC, on which he has served for many years. We talk about barriers preventing more expeditious responses to the looming threat of climate change, examine the flaws in some quick-fix proposals, and look at realistic paths toward keeping our planet habitable for centuries to come.

In his 2013 book: Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe, Noam Chomsky warned that we are facing “two problems for our species survival — nuclear war and environmental catastrophe.” Up to this point in history problems caused by humans were regional. However just in the last few decades climate change and nuclear war have become a threat to all life. Chomsky was born in Philadelphia in 1928. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania where he received his PhD in linguistics in 1955. In 1967 he gained public attention for his vocal op2015position to U.S. involvement in the war on Vietnam and was arrested several times. He was appointed Institute Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1976 and is now Professor Emeritus. Chomsky has written and lectured widely on linguistics, philosophy, intellectual history, contemporary issues, international affairs and US foreign policy. This talk by Noam Chomsky was originally recorded on Mar. 1, 2015 at the symposium: The Dynamics of Possible Nuclear Extinction, organized by the physician and anti-nuclear campaigner Dr. Helen Caldicott.
