Tony Gosling conducts an Exclusive interview with Dr Chris Busby.
Hassan Nasallah's body was found, following the blast that destroyed the building he was in, without external damage or signs of pressure wave rupture of internal organs. Reports are he was shielded by a substantial thickness of concrete, yet he was dead. Busby explains how neutrons can penetrate concrete and destroy destroy nerve cells when interacting with the atoms that they are comprised of. The radio active byproducts of a neutron bomb explosion are mostly short lived, however there are trace isotopes that survive, that on examination can reveal the nature of the blast and what radiation it would have produced. Busby explains.
Busby has a back ground researching the effects of Depleted Uranium (DU) use by the U.S. Military. He has worked with Sr Rosalie Bertell and Major Doug Rokke, PhD following DU use in Iraq and Yugoslavia. He has found evidence by examining the technical air filters that monitor British nuclear production that indicates DU use in Ukraine. DU is a biological poison when dispersed as a nano ceramic dust following self ignition on impact.
Prof. Kevin Mackay discusses the sanctions and military action against Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran, and the common denominator linking them: U.S. imperialism.
Economic strangulation precedes more 'kinetic' measures, such as U.S. and Israeli military intervention. We need to stand up for countries' right to self-determination, and not the global disorder promoted by the United States.
Iran announced that the United States and Israel had killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as well as several members of his family. They join hundreds of Iranians already slain in the American-Israeli war, including scores of schoolgirls massacred in an unspeakable atrocity at an elementary school in Minab, southern Iran. The Electronic Intifada’s Ali Abunimah talks about this enormous crime against Iran, but explains that time is on Iran’s side
Iran strikes back after the US and Israel launch war. The Electronic Intifada’s Jon Elmer covers the first five days of the US and Israeli war against Iran on this week’s Resistance Report.

He called himself the "people’s president," but let’s be honest—Andrew Jackson was more like that one friend who flips the Monopoly board, drinks all your whiskey, and still insists he’s “just keeping it real.”
Kyle and Eric are back with the second part of this wild ride through Jackson’s presidency—aka the origin story of American chaos, executive ego, and bare-knuckle politics.
Party in the White House? Hell yeah. Constitutional guardrails? Eh, optional. Checks and balances? Cute idea.
What’s inside this hot mess of history:
Populism with a vengeance—Jackson didn’t speak for the people, he roared for them
How the “outsider” candidate rode rage and rural vibes all the way to the White House
When "will of the people" turns into "my way or GTFO"
And the birth of political branding—Jackson edition: strong opinions, weaker morals
This wasn’t leading the people—it was fueling them, lighting a populist fire that still burns today.
We thought we were here to cancel Andrew Jackson. Instead… we kinda wanted to buy him a drink and ask how the hell he survived.
Before he was wrecking political norms and starting wars on a Tuesday, Jackson was just a dirt-poor, slash-faced, vengeance-fueled teenager out in the Carolina backwoods with nothing but bad vibes and Revolutionary trauma. Orphaned by 14, dueling by 20, and casually writing state constitutions by 29—this guy didn’t pull himself up by his bootstraps, he drop-kicked his way to the top.
Kyle and Eric unpack how a kid with zero privilege and 100% spite became a war hero, courtroom thug, emotional landmine, and the human embodiment of “try me.”
Is he a walking red flag? Absolutely.
Are we kinda impressed anyway? ...Also yes.
The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls
Advertising has had a major effect on how we view our bodies and on our individual self-image. The history of how this advertising has come to affect American girls as they pass through menarche and adolescence is presented in a book called “The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls.” This book describes the historical roots of acute societal and psychological pressures that girls feel today. It shows how the female adolescent experience has changed since 1895. The author, Joan Jacobs Brumberg, is a Professor of History and Women’s Studies at Cornell University in New York. In this two-part program, I spoke Professor Brumberg in October of 1997 and asked her what drew her to write “The Body Project.”
Joan Jacobs Brumberg recommends “Learning to Bow,” by Bruce Feiler & “The Grass Link,” by May Vinchi.

We look at a dated yet fun children's album from the 50s by an artist known today for being the aunt of a well known actor. The honky tonks remind us of happy singalongs of yesteryear...and the celebrity slip up has a man that had a catchy catch phrase in the 80s. I pity the fool who doesn't figure that one out.
We'll hear a funky take on Beethoven by Joe Thomas, dig into some Clabber Biscuits with George Benson, and we'll hear both a Curtis Mayfield cover by The Dynamics and a Curtis original.
