In May of 2026, Marshan Camese addressed a Louisiana state senate subcommittee to voice his objection to the elimination of one of Louisiana’s two majority-Black districts. The moment went viral as Camese’s fiery rhetoric captured the feelings of millions of Americans fed up with the status quo. This week on Sea Change Radio, we are joined by Camese as he breaks down the behind-the-scenes story of the speech, discusses some of the inequities that ignite his passions, and talks about why he’s hopeful that a positive change is imminent.

Imagine you jumped in a time machine and went back 15 years. You might get a chuckle seeing the flip phones and watching masses of people on that thing we used to call a “work commute,” but you might not think twice about the slightly cooler temperatures. If you set the machine to go back a century, however, you would probably want to pack an extra sweater. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with author and environmental journalist Jason Dove Mark to explore a phenomenon known as shifting baseline syndrome. We discuss Mark’s new book, The Earth Said Remember Me, learn how our brains adapt to the new normal of degraded environmental health, and unpack examples of how we are collectively being lulled into complacency.

A report on the underground networks in the forest Suzanne Simard is Professor of Forest Ecology in the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Forestry. In spite of her status in academia, rigorous research and love and respect from her students it took over 30 years for her ideas to break through. Ferris Jabr writes in the New York Times Magazine: “By analyzing the DNA in root tips and tracing the movement of molecules through underground conduits, Simard has discovered that fungal threads link nearly every tree in a forest — even trees of different species. Carbon, water, nutrients, alarm signals and hormones can pass from tree to tree through these subterranean circuits… Resources tend to flow from the oldest and biggest trees to the youngest and smallest. Chemical alarm signals generated by one tree prepare nearby trees for danger. Seedlings severed from the forest’s underground lifelines are much more likely to die than their networked counterparts. Crucially, a majority of the carbon sequestered in forests resides in the soils, anchored by networks of symbiotic roots, fungi and microbes. Each year, the world’s forests capture more than 24 percent of global carbon emissions. When a mature forest is burned or clear-cut, the planet loses an invaluable ecosystem and one of its most effective systems of climate regulation. The razing of an old-growth forest is not just the destruction of magnificent individual trees — it’s the collapse of an ancient republic whose interspecies covenant of reciprocation and compromise is essential for the survival of Earth as we’ve known it.” On May 4, 2021 Suzanne Simard’s book, “Finding the Mother Tree” came out. In a rare Ted talk in June 2016 Simard laid out what she discovered. This radio program also includes excerpts from her Zoom seminar at UBC: Dispatches from The Mother Tree Project, on Oct 22, 2020. And in late 2020 the acclaimed environmental writer Ferris Jabr accompanied Suzanne Simard for several days of field research in rough terrain for what became a cover story in The New York Times Magazine. This program ends with quotes from his extraordinary science based article. Ferris Jabr has also written for the Scientific American, The Atlantic, Harper’s, and The New Yorker. By now Suzanne Simard’s insights are beginning to influence the thoughts about climate change, carbon sequestration and harvesting techniques in departments of forestry throughout Canada and the US. A quick note: I’m stopping to do radio programs in August 2025. Just had my 79 birthday and have been producing radio for almost 50 years – beginning at KPFA in Berkeley. Most recently my home is an oak and madr0ne forest in Northern California. Thanks to Otis Maclay from Audioport who has placed re-runs for over a year now. He told me that more than 120 stations are taking TUC Radio every Tuesday. Good Bye to you all!!

Shocking news about Ann Widdecombe murdered in her home on Dartmoor. https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/richieallen/episodes/2026-07-13T11_15_06-07_00 Her father was from Saltash and her mother from Plymouth. Her father had been the Director of Armament Supply in the Admiralty and had distinguished himself as head of Armament Supply in Malta during its siege. Her family had very strong ties to this area dating back to the early 18th Century. Richie is joined by Tony Gosling and Marilyn Hawes. Counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe after "new information and evidence" came to light, officers have said. A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, originally arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday, has now been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. Speaking in the House of Commons on Monday, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood confirmed the suspect was not known to the government's Prevent anti-terror scheme. Widdecombe, a 78-year-old former Conservative minister turned Reform UK spokeswoman, was found dead at her home in Devon, having sustained serious injuries. To discuss this and more, Richie is joined by the writer and broadcaster, Tony Gosling https://politicsthisweek.gn.apc.org/2026/07/the-bristol-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-29/ She was a conviction politician who did argue her corner forcefully but she was always happy to engage with those who disagreed with her and never took anything personally. She could laugh at herself and was always willing to get stuck in. She was a devout Christian in an era when that is increasingly unusual. I do not know what is happening to our society that these murders can happen in such a tranquil and beautiful place? I am also aghast that some people who disagree with her politics are being very disrespectful. We are living in disturbing times. I appreciate this quote she gave on Graham Norton: “we get one go this side of eternity, one go. Life is not a dress rehearsal, you take opportunities that you like and you go for it, that’s my philosophy.” Harvey Proctor has written a very powerful article about her: The death of Ann Widdecombe marks the passing of one of the last politicians who believed that principle mattered more than popularity. She was, of course, many things: a formidable parliamentarian, a woman of profound Christian faith and conviction, an accomplished author and broadcaster and someone who never sought the comfort of fashionable opinion. She spoke her mind, often to the irritation of opponents and sometimes even allies. Yet, whether one agreed with her or not, there was never any doubt about the sincerity of her beliefs.” “It is easy in the days following her death to celebrate those qualities in general terms. I remember them for a far more personal reason. When I became caught up in the grotesque injustice of Operation Midland, much of public life fell silent. Allegations that would later be exposed as heinous lies were treated as established fact. My reputation, painstakingly built over decades, was destroyed almost overnight. I lost my home, my livelihood and, for a time, I thought my entire life would be extinguished. Many people who knew me, and many who privately doubted what was unfolding, chose discretion over courage. They calculated that association with someone under suspicion carried greater risk than remaining silent while obvious injustice took its course.” “Ann Widdecombe made a different calculation. She understood that the presumption of innocence is not an inconvenience to be discarded in difficult cases but one of the foundations of a civilised society. She recognised that due process exists precisely because public opinion can be wrong, institutions can fail and allegations are not evidence.” “She was one of the very few members of parliament prepared to say so publicly. Her support was never loud or theatrical. It was something far rarer. It was principled. She offered practical advice and support, personal kindness and public solidarity when these things carried political cost rather than reward. She neither sought headlines nor applause. She simply believed that justice demanded it. That commitment never left her. In September 2023, long after Operation Midland had been comprehensively discredited and after I had received an apology and compensation from the Metropolitan Police, Ann attended a demonstration outside New Scotland Yard to mark Falsely Accused Day.” “Some misunderstood her position, as they often did. Defending the presumption of innocence does not diminish genuine victims of crime. On the contrary, justice depends upon fairness for everyone. A criminal justice system that abandons impartiality ultimately fails victims as well as the accused.

Historian, archivist and archaeo-mythologist Max Dashu collects and analyzes texts and images to learn what women have done and what has been done to women. Her book Women in Greek Mythography exposes the role of rape in god- and hero-narratives and art. She traces how acceptance of rape and violence against women has been carried forward, sometimes coyly, throughout Western civilization " including in colonization and slavery " and finds its apotheosis in ubiquitous gonzo porn. She advises unity against the promotions of violent sex that now indoctrinate the young.
