Israel’s continued attacks and restrictions on aid undermined the so-called ceasefire from the start. It is now making withdrawal conditional on Hamas surrendering all of its weapons. Hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah sit down with Palestinian writer and political analyst Muhammad Shehada, a visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. They discuss the latest situation on the ground in Gaza, and what the U.S., Israel and the so-called Board of Peace are trying to do to the Palestinians. On the Resistance Report, Jon Elmer looks at the stalemate between the U.S. and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and Hizballah’s defense of south Lebanon destroys Israeli military equipment as both sides agree that there is no ceasefire.

Hey, welcome to the Sonic Café. I’m Scott Clark, and this is episode 482. This time, the Sonic Café leaves the Earth behind and goes Space Truckin’ into the great unknown. Our music mix is loaded with space-themed gems, including Spaceman from the Killers, a powerful Natalie Merchant cover of David Bowie’s Space Oddity, and Montrose taking us to Space Station #5. We’ll crank up classics from Black Sabbath, A Flock of Seagulls, and more. Oh—and don’t miss a deep-space detour near the bottom of the hour with South Side of the Sky from Yes, off their 1972 Fragile album. Pure prog rock perfection. On the comedy side, Jim Gaffigan wonders who’s really going to Mars, Katy Perry takes the captain’s chair, Neil deGrasse Tyson reminds us how little we actually know about the universe, and physicist Brian Cox explores wormholes—hoping to speed our trip. So yeah, buckle up. From the Seeking Major Tom LP, here’s Starfleet’s own William Shatner, covering Deep Purple. Let’s go Space Truckin’—right here, at the Sonic Café.

Understanding Comics, A Rather Colorful Display: The Invisible Art Comics have come to hold quite an important place in contemporary society. Satire, particularly political commentary, is perhaps closest to its essence when expressed in the visual comic. However, it also can be argued that comics have played a far greater role in the history of humanity, tracing back to all images depicting a sequential number of actions. My guest in this program is Scott McCloud, author of “Understanding Comics, A Rather Colorful Display: The Invisible Art,” a book about the history of comics. Scott McCloud recommends “Jar of Fools,” by Jason Lutes. Originally Broadcast: August 27, 1994
