It's our own version of the Gong Show this week as Snarf feels the show needs a musical gong, some fun material as we look at only album parody legend Spike Jones ever had, and a steel band doing disco and rock classics. It's a mess o' music that can only be cheezy.

On this week's show, Jay and Johnny talk about the AA 8th and 9th steps.

Dr. Asaad Abu Sharkh. From inside the US/Israeli prison that is Gaza, this interview was recorded in 2018 - under difficult conditions. After that, Salman Abu Sitta of the Palestine Land Society, discusses the theft of Palestine and the genocidal attempt to erase the Palestinian people from the face of the earth as the longest continual Ethnic Cleansing in history.

Many of us think of child labor as a Dickensian problem squarely situated in the distant past, or perhaps in some far-off land in South Asia or Africa. But the reality is that children still comprise an alarming portion of the workforce here in this country: According to the US Department of Labor, the number of minors employed in violation of child labor increased by 283% between 2015 and 2022. This year alone, 13 states have introduced bills weakening child labor protections, and four have enacted them. And the US is the only United Nations member that refuses to sign on to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with occupational health and safety expert Richard Hirsh about the problem of child labor in the US. We discuss the white paper on child labor issues that he co-authored, examine the associated educational deprivation, and look at some of the big moneyed interests that are pushing to allow more and more children to enter the American workforce.

If the Democrats take control of the US Senate, could Trump try to rush two SCOTUS nominations through a lame duck Republican session?

This week we’ll have another look at the US midterm elections and what will follow with a PSA from Dragpac.org, and we’ll celebrate a victory for trans healthcare in New Zealand. In the news the far-right presidential candidate lost in Brazil’s elections, but India’s right-leaning government is purging trans voters. The UN has questions about the rights of queer children in China, and Berliners protest a raid on a transfeminine gathering. All that and more now that you’ve found This Way Out.

Voting in America’s 2026 midterm elections ends Nov. 3. But the results may be only the beginning of the story.

Storms, floods, fires and drought are more frequent and vicious as Earth heats up. Some cities and countries never recover from the climate debt doom-loop. Researcher Aayushi Mishra makes it real. Plus: Oxford's Chloe Brimicombe's warnings for expectant mothers and babies in extreme heat - and this El Nino winter in the UK (as food and fuel panic sets in).

Class struggle is the essence of democracy and regardless of the outcome of any election you’re going to see that struggle play out from the ballot box to the factory floor to the checkout line. Dr Michael Parenti certainly understood this reality and it informs his talk, Voting in the USA.

There's lots of newer recordings on Backbeat this week, though you might not be able to tell which ones if I don't identify them. There's honky-tonk country from Big Fancy and the Shiddy Cowboys, more great soul/blues from Brandon Isaac, traditional flamenco from Mexico's Vanessa Trivino plus the usual mix of classics from Joe Turner, Cousin Joe and Jerry Byrd (who is a direct link between Hank Williams and Jerry Garcia) and more.

Today, we begin with a simple truth that rarely makes it into headlines. Somewhere, not far from the checkpoints and the walls, not far from the refugee camps and the demolished homes, not far from Gaza’s ruins and the West Bank’s olive groves, Israel is holding an election. A national ritual. A ceremony of democracy. A moment the world treats as a sign of stability and progress. But for Palestinians, this election is not a choice. It is a warning. Because every ballot cast in Israel carries consequences for the people living under occupation. Every campaign promise echoes through Gaza’s shattered streets. Every political speech reverberates in the hills of the West Bank. Every candidate’s victory shapes the fate of Palestinians across the region and across the world. And so we begin with a cold question. A question that cuts through the noise, the slogans, the posters, the televised debates. What does an Israeli election mean for a people who cannot vote in it, yet live under its shadow every single day? The other day, someone asked me, “Who do you want to win the Israeli election?” I looked her in the eyes and answered without hesitation. “What difference does it make?” Because when you peel back the layers, when you strip away the campaign ads and the speeches, you find a political landscape where every major candidate shares the same foundation. A foundation built on occupation. A foundation built on supremacy. A foundation built on the belief that Palestinians must remain controlled, contained, and silenced. One candidate promises harsher crackdowns. Another promises tighter borders. One vows to expand settlements. Another vows to legalize the ones already built. One speaks openly of removing Palestinians. Another speaks quietly of policies that achieve the same result. Different words. Same ideology. And while the world watches Israel’s election as if it were a beacon of democracy, Palestinians brace themselves for the next wave of consequences. In Gaza, families wonder whether the next government will tighten the siege or loosen it. Whether aid will be blocked or allowed. Whether reconstruction will begin or be halted. Whether the bombs will fall again. In the West Bank, communities wonder whether settler violence will increase. Whether land seizures will accelerate. Whether military raids will intensify. Whether the checkpoints will multiply. And beyond the borders of historic Palestine, millions of Palestinians in exile wonder whether the next Israeli government will make their return even more impossible. Whether their identity will be further erased. Whether their history will be rewritten yet again. This election does not happen in isolation. It happens on occupied land. It happens under apartheid conditions. It happens while millions live without rights, without freedom, without protection. And yet, the world treats it as normal. But Palestinians know better. They know that every Israeli election is a turning point. Not for Israel. But for them. Because when a country elects leaders who control another people’s land, another people’s movement, another people’s future, that election becomes a tool of domination. And today, as Israel prepares to choose its next government, Palestinians prepare for the consequences. They prepare for policies that will shape their daily lives. They prepare for decisions made in rooms they cannot enter. They prepare for laws written in a language they cannot vote in. They prepare for leaders who speak about them, legislate over them, and rule them — without ever seeing them as equals. This is the reality the world must confront. This is the truth behind the ballot box. This is the story rarely told. And today, we tell it. We begin with the election. We begin with the candidates. We begin with the ideology that binds them. And we begin with the people who will feel the impact most deeply — the Palestinians living under occupation and the Palestinians scattered across the world. This is This Week in Palestine. This is where truth stands unfiltered. This is where clarity does not bend. And this is where we begin. If you have thoughts, I want to hear them.
