Nora Barrows-Friedman brings us a recap of Palestinian news from August14th to the 22nd, 2025.

Today’s guest is none other than John Hope Bryant—the leading mind of Black wealth in America. In the first half of the show, we discuss the ascension of Donald Trump to the presidency and the implications of his second term on the wealth of Black Americans. In the second half of the show, we discuss the new normal for Black Americans and what things can and should be done to create meaningful financial inroads without the support of the political system.

We look back on an album people would like to forget about....seniors sing the oldies...and the Limburger Lounge is deceiving and we feel ripped off of the loungy experience you come to expect. You'll get over it eventually.

Golden oldies (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s)

In the 1970’s, coal fueled over half of the U.S. electric grid. Today, that number has dipped below 10%. This week on Sea Change Radio we speak with journalist and author, Bob Wyss, whose new book “Black Gold: The Rise, Reign and Fall of American Coal,“ provides an important retelling of the history of coal in this country. We look at the market forces that shaped coal’s rise, its devastating impact on the environment and human health, and talk about the ludicrous but dangerous attempts by the current Administration to prop up coal even as it’s on life support.

Blasted into bedrock of the island of Olkiluoto in Finland on the shores of the Baltic Sea, Onkalo has to remain secure for 100,000 years. Danish filmmaker Michael Madsens documentary of the building in progress of Onkalo is a meditation on eternity, insanity and the impossibility of projecting anything 100,000 years into the future. The film also proves eloquently and with expert statements the terrible danger that arises from so-called spent nuclear fuel from power plants and makes us see Fukushima with very different eyes. This radio program presents excerpts from the film and its amazing sound design. DATE: film released in 2010

Our guest is Keaton Sunchild, Federal Director of Government and Political Relations for Western Native Voice, and a powerful advocate for tribal sovereignty. He joins us to break down what’s at stake, why this fight matters to all of Indian Country, and how we can act now to protect the land our communities have stewarded for generations."
