Sonic Café kicks things off with the Counting Crows and their track “Boxcars” from the 2025 “Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets” release. Welcome to our cozy little radio café tucked away in the Pacific Northwest, where eclectic music, comedy, and pop culture always find their groove. I’m your host Scott Clark, and this is episode 489. We’ve cooked up something special this time. First, get ready for a laugh-out-loud sketch from Key & Peele that hilariously exposes the mind games of competitive cooking shows. Later in the show, comedian Shane Gillis takes to the skies for a hilarious exchange with a flight attendant — classic comedy with altitude. Our music mix is pulled from 57 years. Tune in for The Breeders from ’92, Neil Young finally settling the question — is it better to burn out or fade away? — we join Sam Fender for a bit of people watching. Plus gems from Duffy, Paul McCartney, Wet Leg, Cowboy Junkies covering “Sweet Jane,” and many more. Plus, we’ll dial the Sonic Café time machine back to 1968 to spin Spirit’s “I Got a Line on You.” And hey — a warm Sonic Café welcome to our newest sponsor, United Nations Home Security. Their motto? “There’s nothing we wouldn’t do for you… but very little we can.” Classic. So let’s get to it — here’s Billy Squier from 1984, and we’re the Sonic Café.

The transcendent experience of street basketball is the topic of two conversations with Onaje X. O. Woodbine, author of “Black Gods of the Asphalt: Religion, Hip-Hop, and Street Basketball.” Woodbine grew up in the inner-city of Roxbury, Massachusetts, became a skilled street basketball player and attended Yale University on a basketball scholarship. After two years as a star player on the Yale team, he chose a different life path and quit. After graduating from Yale, Woodbine earned his Ph.D. in religious studies from Boston University. His book, “Black Gods of the Asphalt” presents a social-anthropological view of this inner-city sport where coaches often assume the role of father, mentor and friend. He contrasts the lessons learned on the street basketball courts, with those learned at the predominantly white basketball courts and locker rooms of Yale University. Onaje Woodbine visited with Radio Curious by phone on August 13, 2016, from his home in Andover, Massachusetts, and began by describing his relationship with his father, Dr. Robert Woodbine. The book Dr. Onaje Woodbine recommends is “Jesus and the Disinherited” by Howard Thurman.

When it comes to electric vehicles, we hear a lot more about cars than we do about big rig trucks. The fact is that while Americans are buying electric cars at record rates, the electrification of the US trucking fleet is on a slow roll. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Adam Browning from Forum Mobility, a company that is trying to change that. We look at Forum Mobility’s vision for helping freight companies go electric, get a glimpse of the new electric trucks coming to market, and compare how America’s electric freight fleet compares to others around the world.

Last Call for Canada. Sovereign Nation or Vassal State?

Uranium mining on Navajo Nation land began in 1944 to supply the U.S. government with the radioactive ore used in nuclear bombs. About 30 million tons of uranium were extracted by the time operations on the reservation ceased in 1986. The environmental contamination from this effort left much of the Navajo Reservation uninhabitable and has had severe health consequences on residents to this day. The reservation is the largest by area in the United States, spanning Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, and about 170,000 of the approximately 400,000 enrolled members of the Navajo Nation reside within its borders. Many of the rest live in nearby communities whose drinking water has been poisoned by uranium contamination. Now several companies including Dick Cheney’s former mining operation are amongst those trying to revive uranium extraction in the area…Joining us today to discuss this issue is Anna Rondon. Anna is a Tribal member of the Navajo Nation and the Executive Director of the Gallup based New Mexico Social Justice Equity Institute. In the first half of the show, we discuss how the mines have affected workers, their children and their animals. We also discuss which companies are looking to revive the mining efforts on these lands. In the second half of the show, we discuss the fallout of the toxicity and how it is manifested in the native populations. We discuss reparations and the lack of government intervention. We also discuss how listeners can offer support.
