An eclectic collection of interviews and odd news designed to entertain

This is a semi-regular show (2 to 3 new per month) for the insanely stressed out times we live in. Gentle on My Mind is intended for non-commercial radio listeners featuring easy listening genres from the 1950's to the present. Slip into the mighty mellow with DJ Fred.

On Wednesday January 6 we all got to see "the boogaloo," the American far-right's idea of a violent uprising against the Federal government; this week we celebrate its ignominious failure by spinning two hours of the real boogaloo, straight outta NYC 1966-1968; beep beep, mofos

Phil comments on the failure of U.S. 'progressives' to fight against U.S. hegemony and the "regime-change" concepts. Many of these people think that in order to get a $15 minimum wage, they need to slander China or Vietnam, or call for sanctions on Cuba. That's the 'dues they pay' for acceptance. It tells the American people, "we're going to be imperialists, together." Instead, we should think of ourselves as part of multi-national, multi-lateral group, including organizations like the WHO, arms-limitation, and environmental groups. And not sanctioning other countries, or insisting that they adopt our systems. These hostile acts don't co-incide with the U.S. or Canadian constitutional systems, but they are part of our colonial DNA. That's why we need to follow the example of Canadian Dr. Aylward, who spoke the truth about China's success in defeating COVID. Phil Taylor and Phil Conlon also discuss the film, "Mank," including what it tells us about media monopolies and rule in politics.

An engaging and insightful documentary on corporate-sponsored advertising in the 21st century. It explores advertising's ubiquity; its insidiousness; its devastating social, psychological, and environmental effects--and its role in perpetuating the most harmful aspects of corporate capitalism. Part 2 focuses on the genuine human needs that advertising addresses--needs for community, love, respect, friendship, leisure, security--and advertising's false promise that buying consumer goods will fulfill these needs, (Cont'd...)

In this week’s archive radio show we review a couple of new ‘Truth Police’ entities — both government and private — that may soon be censoring your access to information — especially information critical of government or corporate policy. We pull the pants off corporate tax dodgers, and we review the real reason behind ’terrorism’. Scary Thunderbolts this week kids. Listen at your own risk.

This time on The Children's Hour we head under the sea, to the Albuquerque Aquarium. Our program was recorded before a live audience in 2019 and features three of the facility aquarists. One swims with the sharks, another grows coral, and the third is the keeper of the aquarium's otters. We also hear a Nigerian folktale told by storyteller Ramona King. Mixed with great music, and featuring our Kids Crew & Katie.

Radio Thrift Shop is DJ Frederick's two decade long (and counting) experiment, having evolved from Seldom Heard Radio. Radio Thrift Shop has a flexible format & an homage to the "underground" era of broadcasts of the 1960's and 1970's that DJ Frederick grew up listening to & features a homegrown mix of vinyl records, 78s, 45's, LPs, private press releases, and a variety of cassette tapes and homemade / self released cassettes & cds. Each broadcast of Radio Thrift Shop features an improvised or thematic playlist from DJ Frederick's music library. It's never the same program twice - or even once
