Ed Reinhart alias Earl Dixon, has been “boogying” his way around Mendocino County for over three decades. He has been calling himself “Rico Suave” since his last trip to Ecuador. Reinhart is best know as the king of boogie-woogie and blues. With his release in the mid 90′s of “Got Some On My Fingers”, which featured tunes he crafted, the CD was a regional hit with all of his fans and it established him as a musical force locally. He has been the front man for many local boogie/R&B bands including the “Burning Sensations”. Recently Reinhart has been living in Italy and Virginia, we began our visit by asking him what had taken him to live away from Mendocino over the last few years. Ed Reinhart visited the Radio Curious studio on the January 12, 2009. The book he recommends is “The Pillars of the Earth,” by Ken Follett.

Then in our second half hour, we will talk to researcher and analyst Matthew Ehret at the deep historical and political perspective in terms of the characters who helped bring Trudeau to the stage, and the battles that have played out within the party itself leading them to what Trudeau is doing now.

In the first half of today’s episode, we discuss the intentional whitewashing of the politics and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King by the Raegan administration to gain a broader appeal to middle America. We also discuss how Dr. King’s image is used and his words are cherry-picked by far-right conservatives to provide a veneer of decency where there often is deep-seated bigotry, fear, and division. In the second half of the show, we discuss what MLK’s thoughts would be on hot-button issues of today based on his actual words. We discuss what his views would be on equity vs equality, the teaching of CRT/American history, and Affirmative Action. Our Way Black History Fact is Dr. King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail.

Sachs is professor and director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He has been special adviser to three United Nations Secretary Generals and currently serves under Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez. The quote posted on Trump’s social media came from a talk and debate given by Prof. Sachs on October 22, 2024, at the prestigious Cambridge Union in England. In spite of the extraordinary analysis of causes and pretexts of wars presented by Sachs, and some of his provocative statements, the speech remained unnoticed for 2 1/2 months until Donald Trump brought it to Truth Social and world media discovered it there. Friends, colleagues and students of Jeffrey Sachs were just as surprised and also at a loss how to explain the sudden interest from the Trump Camp. Here is a conversation between Glenn Diesen, a Norwegian political scientist and University professor; and Alexander Mercouris, a London-based writer on international affairs, and Jeffrey Sachs. They spoke today, on January 14, 2025, for almost an hour. You can find the full video on YouTube under the title: Will Trump Deliver Peace? - Jeffrey Sachs, Alexander Mercouris & Glenn Diesen.

California kicked off 2025 with some of the most devastating wildfires in the state’s history. Thousands have already lost their homes, dozens have been killed, and as of today the largest of the Los Angeles area fires is only 14% contained. This week on Sea Change Radio we speak with meteorologist Anthony Edwards of the San Francisco Chronicle to learn more about what caused the fires, how climate change is making events like these more commonplace and inevitable than ever, and what we can all do to better prepare for them. Then, we take a few minutes to look at the burgeoning industry of amateur meteorology in the ski industry and the impact that the growth in untrained meteorological professionals is having on Edwards's job, and on the field in general.
