In the last El Nino in 2023, carbon from Canadas wildfires equaled total emissions from India. Wildfires are a world problem. Fire expert Michael Flannigan joins us. Then Amazon Godfather of rainforest science, Dr. Carlos Nobre: the Columbia conference to get off fossil fuels, better news on deforestation despite organized crime, and the awful Amazon tipping point. This is find-out time.

We've got many different kinds of blues on Backbeat this week, which is fitting for a show that's been named Best Blues or Similar by the National Community Radio Association. Professor Longhair gives us his quirky take on the boogie, followed by Smokey Rogers, also doing a blues boogie. We'll hear a very young LaVern Baker with the Todd Rhodes Orchestra and Robert Petway, a obscure country blues artist whose songs were very influential. All that and some new music by Trevor Tchir, an Earl King guitar classic that Jimi Hendrix also recorded and some fine harmony to mix everything together.

There are moments in history when a nation begins to tremble, not because an enemy has breached its walls, but because the truth has finally breached its story. Today, we step into one of those moments. This episode is not about predictions. It is not about wishes. It is about the unmistakable signs of a system straining under its own weight. A story of a state confronting the limits of its own contradictions. A story of what happens when the world stops nodding along and starts paying attention. But before we begin, I want to honor something deeper, the people who give themselves for what is right. The ones who stand when standing is costly. The ones who speak when silence would be easier. The ones who choose truth over comfort, justice over convenience, and humanity over fear. They are the quiet architecture of every movement, the steady pulse beneath every struggle for dignity. This episode is for them. If you have thoughts, I want to hear them. Email me at TWIPpodcasts@gmail.com and tell me how you see it. This is This Week in Palestine.

On this edition of the Subrosa News program, we have a recording of a discussion between progressive activist David Hogg and Progressive Democrat Ms. Mai Vang, who is challenging long-term Democratic incumbent Doris Matsu for California’s 7th Congressional District, which is in the Sacramento area of Northern California. Ms. Vang is currently a member of the Sacramento City Council and is challenging Ms. Matsui, who has served in Congress for 21 years. David Hogg was a student at the 2018 Parkland High School shooting in Parkland, Florida. After that shooting, Mr. Hogg became a gun control activist. He also became involved with the Democratic National Committee but had a serious falling-out with leadership. This discussion was held in Elk Grove, California, before an audience of Vang’s supporters on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at the A Seat at the Table Bookstore. Vang and Hogg discussed what they characterized as a do-nothing Democratic Party. To read more about this discussion, visit ElkGroveNews.net

Israel’s continued attacks and restrictions on aid undermined the so-called ceasefire from the start. It is now making withdrawal conditional on Hamas surrendering all of its weapons. Hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah sit down with Palestinian writer and political analyst Muhammad Shehada, a visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. They discuss the latest situation on the ground in Gaza, and what the U.S., Israel and the so-called Board of Peace are trying to do to the Palestinians. On the Resistance Report, Jon Elmer looks at the stalemate between the U.S. and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and Hizballah’s defense of south Lebanon destroys Israeli military equipment as both sides agree that there is no ceasefire.

Hey, welcome to the Sonic Café. I’m Scott Clark, and this is episode 482. This time, the Sonic Café leaves the Earth behind and goes Space Truckin’ into the great unknown. Our music mix is loaded with space-themed gems, including Spaceman from the Killers, a powerful Natalie Merchant cover of David Bowie’s Space Oddity, and Montrose taking us to Space Station #5. We’ll crank up classics from Black Sabbath, A Flock of Seagulls, and more. Oh—and don’t miss a deep-space detour near the bottom of the hour with South Side of the Sky from Yes, off their 1972 Fragile album. Pure prog rock perfection. On the comedy side, Jim Gaffigan wonders who’s really going to Mars, Katy Perry takes the captain’s chair, Neil deGrasse Tyson reminds us how little we actually know about the universe, and physicist Brian Cox explores wormholes—hoping to speed our trip. So yeah, buckle up. From the Seeking Major Tom LP, here’s Starfleet’s own William Shatner, covering Deep Purple. Let’s go Space Truckin’—right here, at the Sonic Café.

Understanding Comics, A Rather Colorful Display: The Invisible Art Comics have come to hold quite an important place in contemporary society. Satire, particularly political commentary, is perhaps closest to its essence when expressed in the visual comic. However, it also can be argued that comics have played a far greater role in the history of humanity, tracing back to all images depicting a sequential number of actions. My guest in this program is Scott McCloud, author of “Understanding Comics, A Rather Colorful Display: The Invisible Art,” a book about the history of comics. Scott McCloud recommends “Jar of Fools,” by Jason Lutes. Originally Broadcast: August 27, 1994

The man, The Legend....we take a look at the man without shoes....the barefoot man and his live album in a Limburger lounge profile, some cheezy 60s grooves by some weirdos, and a classic TV sitcom star predicts the future with some fortune cookies. It's a mess o cheeze.
