Welcome to "The Radio Art Hour," a show where art is not just on the radio, but is the radio. "The Radio Art Hour" draws from the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource that aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks made by artists around the world, created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or independent transmission. Come on a journey with us as radio artists explore broadcast radio space through poetic resuscitations and playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers in this hour of radio about radio as an art form. "The Radio Art Hour" features introductions from Philip Grant and Tom Roe, and from Wave Farm Radio Art Fellows Karen Werner and Jess Speer. The Conet Project's recordings of numbers radio stations serve as interstitial sounds. Go to wavefarm.org for more information about "The Radio Art Hour" and Wave Farm's Radio Art Archive.

"Turn On The News" is the weekly newscast from the fictional Radio Network, with parody radio coverage of the radio and its headlines. Now with computerized news readers, and fewer meddling reporters, plus aggregated reporting, and automated music. Tune in "Turn On The News" each week for the latest news, radio art, and more from our robot reporters, making sure you hear both sides -- good and evil -- every time you "Turn On The News." It is often a mash-up of the week's news, and sometimes a radio news fantasy.

Alex Saab, Venezuelan diplomat, was extradited last week from Cape Verde, Africa, to the USA. The Cape Verde government, like the Trudeau government of Canada, obeyed the dictate of the USA to kidnap someone, in the case of Meng Wanzhou. These "long arm," extraterritorial actions by the USA are illegal. Saab was enroute to Iran to arrange food and fuel from the Islamic Republic, relief from the illegal, unilateral US sanctions on Venezuela. He was arrested while his plane was refueling. Taylor Report listeners are urged to take in the launch of the new book on Venezuela called "Extraordinary Threat," by Justin Podur and Joe Emersberger.

Rex Hemeon isn't a household name but with a song like "Bingo and Another World" we just had to profile him, Wunderful Wunderful Welk Fromage, and a really mean record from a mean actor, who was likely a really nice guy.

Selections from the film documentary. Political analyst Nafeez Mossadeq Ahmed discusses the 7 interconnected global crises we are undergoing. This week we'll focus on economic instabiliy and terrorism. Old film clips brighten the thoughtful commentary.

My best cat, Looksee, who passed away, loved those 80s tunes! Here are some to help me get over losing the little fellow.

Phil Weiss of Mondoweiss has written a troubling article documenting the power of the Jewish community in using its funding to control members of congress concerning their votes on of the flow of money to support Israel. Recent events give illustration to this phenomenon. We quote from that article. Next, our feature presentation this week is a speech by journalist Ian Williams, delivered at a forum sponsored by the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. It picks up on our examination of the influence of the Israeli lobby on global politics.

For the past year and a half, we've been watching the numbers: Covid cases, ER beds, deaths, and, more recently, immunization rates. There's another set of numbers, however, that has gotten less attention but is just as connected to this pandemic as any of these other figures: housing. The pandemic has been a huge test for our nation's ability to house its residents, and so far we are failing miserably - experts estimate that 40 million Americans are vulnerable to losing their housing. The federal moratorium on evictions was lifted by the Supreme Court in September, and the vast majority of states have no protections in place to help people hold on to their homes. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Shamus Roller, the Executive Director of the National Housing Law Project, about housing challenges, evictions, and homelessness. We also discuss potential solutions to advance housing justice.

On June 5, 2021, the wildlife biologist Dr. Monica Bond and fire ecologist Dr. Chad Hanson were speaking with an international audience at a webinar hosted by the Wild Earth Guardians. In a year of catastrophic fires, not just in the US, they discussed what to do - and maybe even more importantly what not to do - for these burned ecosystems to recover. Monica Bond,Ph.D., is a wildlife biologist and biodiversity advocate with The Wild Nature Institute. They conduct scientific research on endangered wildlife. Chad Hanson is cofounder of the John Muir Project of Earth Island Institute. His Ph.D. is in ecology with a research focus on fire ecology. His most recent book is: Smokescreen - Debunking Wildfire Myths to Save Our Forests and Our Climate. Hanson and Bond spoke to the WildEarth Guardians in June, 2021. With offices in seven (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington)) western states the WildEarth Guardians are restoring wild places and rivers. Three months after this conversation, in September 2021, the John Muir Project and the Center of Sustainable Economy published a footnoted study with an urgent warning, they said: “Logging Provisions in Infrastructure & Budget Reconciliation Packages would worsen the Climate Crisis” Both the Infrastructure Bill and Budget Reconciliation contain over $2 billion in subsidies for logging coupled with a mandate to log 10 million acres over the next six years with another 20 million acres to follow, and the promotion of logging in naturally recovering fire areas. This at a time where we urgently need to protect forests to help sequester carbon emissions.
