The man, The Legend....we take a look at the man without shoes....the barefoot man and his live album in a Limburger lounge profile, some cheezy 60s grooves by some weirdos, and a classic TV sitcom star predicts the future with some fortune cookies. It's a mess o cheeze.

The recent Supreme Court ruling Louisiana v. Callais not only eviscerated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and allowed states to enact discriminatory maps with impunity, it was also a brutal reminder that despite record low approval ratings for the current president, reversing the negative impacts of this administration will be a big job. This week on Sea Change Radio, we enjoy a wide-ranging political conversation with John Stoehr of The Editorial Board. We discuss why holding Trump administration actors accountable should be a primary short-term goal for Democrats, look at how the illegal US/Israeli war against Iran is a bridge too far for many progressives, and touch upon the upcoming Senate race in Maine between Graham Platner and Susan Collins.

Phil opens by discussing the kidnapping of Maduro, and transitions into a substantial commentary on Japan.

In Part One of a two-part series, This Way Out examines a growing global wave of anti-LGBTQ legislation spanning Africa, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia, where governments are increasingly criminalizing queer identity under the guise of “morality,” “tradition,” and child protection. The report explores how these laws are being used not only to restrict rights, but also to consolidate political power, echo colonial-era frameworks, and reinforce rising authoritarianism. The segment draws on analysis from global human rights advocates and regional experts, highlighting how these policies are reshaping daily life for LGBTQ people. It connects legislative crackdowns to real-world consequences, including increased violence, surveillance, and the erosion of safe spaces, as well as the growing suppression of advocacy and community organizing. Despite setbacks in some regions, the report underscores the persistence of grassroots movements and legal advocates working to resist these trends and defend basic human rights, safety, and visibility for LGBTQ communities worldwide. And in NewsWrap: Russia intensifies its crackdown on LGBTQ communities, with courts labeling advocacy organizations as “extremist.” In the United States, a federal appeals court upholds West Virginia’s ban on Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming surgeries, raising concerns about potential nationwide restrictions on transgender healthcare. In Idaho, transgender residents file suit challenging what advocates describe as one of the most restrictive bathroom laws in the country. Human rights groups issue travel warnings ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America, citing potential risks for LGBTQ people and other marginalized travelers. Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV comments on same-sex marriage, emphasizing unity within the Church amid ongoing doctrinal debate. Additional international LGBTQ news is reported this week by Joe Boehnlein and Tanya Kane-Parry (News Writer Ebony Joseph, News Producer Brian DeShazor).

Copper and steel were pivotal to the industrial revolution. But these days, it’s clear that continued reliance on these substances as our key building materials has devastating environmental implications, including habitat destruction from open-pit mining, water toxification from acid mine drainage, and air pollution from sulfur dioxide emissions. Fortunately there’s an emerging array of cutting-edge materials that hold promise for eco-conscious developers. A company named DexMat has developed a material called Galvorn, which is fantastical stuff right out of Spider-Man. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Bryan Guido Hassin, the CEO of the Houston-based DexMat, to learn more about Galvorn. Hassin explains how Galvorn is made, what makes it different from conventional materials, and the many exciting potential applications of this futuristic stuff that could get your radioactive blood pumping.

For decades, Republicans have been echoing the same mantra, that “government is not the solution, it’s the problem.” And for the most part, when the GOP is in power, this aphorism sadly rings all too true. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Ann E. Carlson, an environmental law professor and former head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about her new book, Smog and Sunshine: The Surprising Story of How Los Angeles Cleaned Up Its Air. We discuss the sound governmental policies and practices that allowed Los Angelenos to breathe easy again, talk about how private industry lacks sufficient motivation to tackle climate change, and get a glimpse into how today’s law students regard government service.
