Nora Barrows-Friedman brings us a recap of Palestinian news for the week of January 22nd to the 29th, 2026.

First Half: We begin this segment by discussing the importance of Black women and the fact that they continually work to heal this country and save America from itself. We also discuss a new study that reveals the lifelong effects of enduring racism and how it leads to early deaths in the Black population. Second Half: Today’s Guest is the author of the book “Navigating School Board Politics” and an associate professor at Arizona State University. Dr. Carrie Sampson joins us again to discuss National School Choice Week here in the U.S. and what it means for communities across the country.

We do our own tribute to a 40 year old mega bucks box office flop that still linger in cult status in our Cutting Room Floor...Howard The Duck, a group of Barber Shop quartet like sounds called the Happiness Emporium and the opposite of a Celebrity Slip Up is the slip up this week....but the song is cheezy so we gotta play it....got it? I'm glad you do as I know we don't.

If you listened to last week’s Sea Change Radio, then you’ve already learned a little something about congressional hopeful Saikat Chakrabarti. Otherwise, you may not have ever heard of the guy. He’s running to fill Nancy Pelosi’s soon-to-be vacated congressional seat here in San Francisco. In this second half of our discussion, listeners will hear about several ways that Chakrabarti and Pelosi differ (beyond their respective levels of name recognition). We look at several of Chakrabarti’s exciting ideas, including ways tech could actually help remedy inequality (rather than widening income and wealth gaps), elements of the Green New Deal that could help curb profligate energy use by data centers, and the notion of banning stock trading among members of Congress.

Carney's middle-muddle moment at Davos: Trapped between "hegemons," PM decides to build an army to fight Russians. Go figure.

The son of Iowa lesbians runs for the U.S. Senate; this week’s “Rainbow Rewind” celebrates iconic birthdays and a pivotal event in January; the Trump administration scraps EEOC guidance on anti-queer workplace harassment, McBride leads U.S. House Democrats' successful fight against anti-trans Republican funding riders, an infamous Texas federal judge equates drag with blackface, Tucson Pride ends a 49-year run as Arizona’s oldest such celebration, and “Heated Rivalry” carries a torch for Italy’s Winter Olympics. All that and more this week when you find “This Way Out”.

After 15 years of widespread struggle against it, South Africa's Traditional Courts Bill has now been signed into law. It gives unbounded power including discrimination against women, to so-called traditional chiefs in the rural areas, and is considered a distortion of community-based dispute resolution traditions. One of the key opposition leaders, Sizani Ngubane, founder of the Rural Women's Movement, died before the bill was re-introduced again and signed into law. Other speakers: Nolundi Luwaya, Researcher at the Law, Race and Gender Unit at the University of Cape Town [now director of the Land and Accountability Research Centre]; Aninka Claassens, Chief Researcher, Land and Accountability Research Centre, University of Cape Town; Mnisi Weeks, Associate Professor in Legal Studies and Political Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Adjunct Associate Professor in Public Law at the University of Cape Town (UCT) [She previously worked in the Rural Womens Action Research Programme at UCT]; Patrick Mashego, community leader, Limpopo province, South Africa. 

Forget conspiracy. Contrails are real and dangerous to the climate - from Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology, Dr. Daniel Johansson. While thousands died of heat in Europe in 2003, a marine heat wave ripped the North Atlantic. Changes to marine life remain today. From Germany, Dr. Karl-Michael Werner, of the Thunen Institute of Sea Fisheries in Bremerhaven. The Pillars of Wealth remain oblivious at Davos. Full speed ahead, fossil fuel for a hot militarized world.
