With Canada in the news lately, we look at some of the cheezy Canada songs we've played in the past, some victrola era age worn and dusty instrumentals, and we couldn't afford the Beach Boys in the Limburger Lounge, but the Great Imposters are the more budget conscious choice.

Buzz Hargrove remembered: His cooperation with the Liberal Party, and praise of Israel, have not been mentioned by admiring commentators.

Parenti criticizes the lone assassin theory, goes over details of the murder and addresses the bitter question that haunts so many, whether government agencies of a democratic country participated in the assassination of an elected President. This is one of Parentis most highly acclaimed talks, ending with a standing ovation. He spoke on the 30th anniversary of the assassination in Berkeley, CA. When Oliver Stones movie JFK opened in December 1991 a huge PR campaign was mobilized against the film. Even progressives spoke out. Noam Chomsky wrote in support of the Warren Commissions lone assassin findings. In contrast Michael Parenti supported Stone and began by examining what he calls the gangster nature of the state. An extended text of this talk can be found in Parenti'ss book: Dirty Truths, published by City Lights in 1996. Michael Parenti, now retired, was one of the nations leading progressive political analysts. He has taught at colleges and universities in the US and abroad. With roots in a working class Italian district in New York City and a PhD in political science from Yale, Parenti remains an internationally known lecturer and author.

One of the powers that we have as consumers is to “vote with our dollars,” or exercise our right to choose one brand over another. Boycotts and other awareness campaigns can pressure a company to conduct business differently. An area where consumers do not generally have that power is mining. Mining operates with little direct business-to-consumer transactions, and with minimal transparency. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Andrew Kaminsky, a journalist for Triple Pundit, to learn more about the mining industry. We look at the environmental impacts of extracting various minerals, discuss how mining companies are changing the way they operate, and examine a promising model in Canada where mining companies are partnering with indigenous communities in the region.

Trans masc. comedian Marval Rex stands up for “Big Dad Energy”; hundreds of thousands defy Orban to Pride Parade in Budapest, seventy-five people are arrested at an Indonesian “gay party”, a high court in India rules that trans women are legally women, the U.S. Supreme Court lets parents opt kids out of queer-related lessons but backs insurance coverage for PReP, and a “guerrilla theater” Pride show at the Kennedy Center trolls Trump. Those stories and more this week when you choose “This Way Out.”

Sevgil Musayeva is Editor-in-Chief of Ukrainska Pravda, Ukraine's major online news source. In June 2025, she talked to Ursula Ruedenberg of the radio program Ukraine 242, about the life and death of a daring and committed freelance reporter, Victoria Roshchyna, who repeatedly crossed into Russian-occupied territory documenting rights violations. In 2022, she received an International Women's Media Foundation Courage in Journalism Award. During her final trip, Victoria was captured, imprisoned and tortured. Her body was recently identified using DNA; her family still hopes to prove it is not hers. Her legacy inspires more journalists to follow her example.  WARNING: Some of the facts are disturbingly grim.
