An original radio theatre show each week, with most sounds culled from the previous week, about a fictional, theatrical presidency. Contradictions tell the story, with songs, skits, and clips from political news shows and late-night comedy routines. The definition of "radio theatre" is stretched here, with an updated Dickie Goodman and/or Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style sometimes, and a more straightforward take other weeks. Currently airing on 30 or 40 stations around the world, the network has ordered another 10 episodes, but with impeachment cancellation is possible at any moment. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.

As we embark upon a new decade, many of us are contemplating ongoing environmental challenges and what may be in store for the earth in the decade to come. Fortunately, there are some excellent journalists out there with their fingers on the pulse, whose mission is to uncover environmental news both alarming and inspiring. This week on Sea Change Radio we are checking in with Bob Berwyn, an Austrian-based environmental journalist who writes for Inside Climate News and is in the midst of a three-month tour of the western United States and Mexico. Berwyn discusses the fragile ecosystems west of the Rockies, tells us about permaculture in Oaxaca, and examines the ethical dilemmas that both skiers and ski resorts are facing as the planet warms and snowfall becomes less consistent.

Back in the USSR joins the growing chorus of voices and the pounding of a growing number of footsteps in expressing our unyielding opposition to the American Empire and its threat of war against the sovereign nation of Iran. We have to stop this imperial war machine before it murders more nations in the name of profit and greed. NO WAR AGAINST IRAN!

Crescent International editor and Islamic scholar Zafar Bangash notes that the U.S. assassination last Friday, Jan 3 in Baghdad killed ten people, the most prominent of which was Iranian Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the architect of the defeat of ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Because of the treacherous nature of the assassination, it also turned almost all Mideast governments and parties, even those normally pro-USA, into enemies of the U.S. government. Importantly, the Iraqi Parliament on Jan 4 declared that all foreign military forces must eventually leave the country. This is relevant to Canadians, because the Trudeau government had stationed hundreds of troops in Iraq. Zafar observes that some Western governments and the for-profit media have termed Soleimani a 'terrorist,' a label he certainly doesn't deserve. Simultaneously, these parties studiously ignore the role of the USA and its vassal states, including Canada, in the rise of ISIS, Al Qaeda, and the MEK in the Middle East.
