Just because we live in an age of science, marked by mobile computing, space exploration, and robot cars, doesn't mean that people don't still hold firm to beliefs with no scientific basis whatsoever. Case-in-point: rhinos are dying out, due primarily to a human appetite for the supposed healing power of their horns, even though these horns have been shown to have no medicinal properties and may even contain substances toxic to humans. Rhinoceros horns consist of keratin, a dense protein found in human hair and fingernails, but puzzlingly they're worth more by weight than gold. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Mongabay senior contributing editor Jeremy Hance about the plight of two extremely rare breeds of Indonesian rhinoceros. We discuss efforts being taken to track and preserve them and take a close look at poaching and the brisk trade in illegal rhino horns.

Among the over twelve hundred programs in the TUC Radio archives this is one of my favorites. Thats based on the respect I have for the speaker, Edward Said, and the ongoing sadness that, to this day, so little is known about the history of Palestine.
This is Edward Saids last major speech on Palestine, the war on Iraq and the Bush administration. On September 25, 2003, a message made its way around the world. Edward Said, Palestinian American, world famous professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, and fearless defender of the Palestinian cause had died of leukemia in New York City, far from the city of Jerusalem where he was born in 1935.
In 1948 Said and his family were forced to leave Palestine for Cairo when the newly founded state of Israel took their ancestral home. Later Said came to the US, studied at Princeton and Harvard and went on to teach at Yale and Columbia. He was not only a renowned academic but also an eloquent spokesperson for Palestinian rights and sovereignty.
Said leaves behind a treasure of writings including his most influential book, Orientalism (1978),as well as books inspired by his passionate advocacy of the Palestinian cause, including The Question of Palestine, (1979), Covering Islam (1981), After the Last Sky (1986), Blaming the Victims (1988), and Culture and Imperialism (1993).

About Travis:
Travis Zimmerman is a historian, cultural educator, and storyteller from Minnesota. He’s a proud member of the Crane Clan of the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and serves as the site manager at the Mille Lacs Indian Museum and Trading Post, a role he’s held for over 15 years.
He’s passionate about preserving and sharing Ojibwe history and culture. Travis has been featured on the “Native Lights” radio program, where he discussed his journey and love for Native American history. He also hosted the documentary-style series “DeCoded: Native Veterans in Minnesota Who Helped Win World War II” produced by Minnesota Native News.
Beyond his museum work, Travis co-authored a children’s book titled How the Birds Got Their Songs, adapted from a traditional Ojibwe story passed down through his family. He partnered with his cousin, artist Sam Zimmerman, and bilingual educator Marcus Ammesmaki to create an English–Ojibwemowin edition. This effort was motivated by his desire to document family stories before they were lost and to support Ojibwe language preservation.
He’s also active in public speaking—recently giving presentations at libraries across Minnesota, such as the “Don’t Know Much About History” series, where he spoke on Ojibwe culture, Indigenous military contributions, and Code Talker.
