Gerald Horne – How Trump Happened
02 Mar, 2026 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

How Trump happened is a question a lot of people ask. From an aggressive foreign policy to an immigration crackdown to cutting Medicaid to tax breaks for the super-rich to undermining environmental regulations and much more. Where did these policies originate? A good place to start is Project 2025. It’s a detailed 900+ page agenda designed to reshape the government,...
Jesse Jackson – Keeping Hope Alive (special program)
23 Feb, 2026 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

Jesse Jackson was a giant of the civil rights movement, an icon of the struggle for justice and equality. He worked with Dr. King. An ordained minister, his charismatic speaking style enthralled audiences. He was twice a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. He was the founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. He proudly proclaimed, “My constituency is the desperate,...
Joanna Macy – Deep Caring for the Earth
16 Feb, 2026 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

The challenges humankind faces from the climate emergency to species extinction to terminal war may be difficult to comprehend but we ignore them at our peril. Looking away is a lot easier than facing reality. Viewing the Earth as a giant shopping mall to be exploited is leading us to a literal dead end. The capitalist system solely cares about...
Jeffery Robinson – The South, Slavery & the Lost Cause
09 Feb, 2026 | 0:57:04 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

The Lost Cause is rooted in the South’s search for justification and the need to find a substitute for victory in the Civil War. In attempting to deal with defeat, the South created an image of the war as a noble epic fought by brave men. The war, the mythology goes, wasn’t about preserving slavery; it was about Southern values. Monuments to Confederate soldiers and the...
Michael Parenti – Capitalism
02 Feb, 2026 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

Discussions about democracy probably started in Athens about 2500 years ago. A truism is society is democratic to the extent that its citizens play a meaningful role in managing public affairs. U.S.-style democracy is located within the capitalist economic system infamous for producing colossal inequality. There’s no level playing field, as great income and wealth translate into political power for...
Martin Luther King - Beyond Vietnam
19 Jan, 2026 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

Martin Luther King Jr.’s charismatic “I Have a Dream” speech is emblazoned in our historical memories. But another address to a much smaller audience on April 4, 1967 at Riverside Church in New York is no less significant. There King demonstrated his deep understanding of how the system works. He moved beyond a simple race analysis to include class and...
Koohan Paik-Mander - The Nuclear Legacy of Artificial Intelligence
12 Jan, 2026 | 0:56:58 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

We hear from many quarters that "AI will destroy the world." But everyone's got a different scenario for what that means. The most sensational perspectives come from theorists like Geoffrey Hinton, the so-called "godfather of AI" or industrialists like Elon Musk. They warn us that one day, a superintelligent AI could replace human beings in controlling the planet. But we don't...
John Shattuck - Resistance
05 Jan, 2026 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

In a time when scoundrels abound and corruption is rife, the need for resistance is critical. This is no time for fence-sitting and twiddling thumbs. Throughout history, people have fought and defeated autocracy by organizing with allies to challenge, disrupt, and roll back unfair rule. We are in such a moment now, as power is being centralized and the rule...
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz – Genocide & Settler Colonialism
29 Dec, 2025 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

Genocide is the most heinous of crimes, and it connects to settler colonialism. Historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz says, “Settler colonialism requires genocidal violence to attain its goal” of acquiring land. In North America and elsewhere, this meant the Indigenous population was targeted for mass murder. North America’s huge landmass and resources drove the policy. In Germany, there was the Nazi desire...
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortíz – An Indigenous Peoples’ History
22 Dec, 2025 | 0:57:02 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

The history of the U.S. is one of settler colonialism. The state was established on the basis of white male supremacy, slavery, land theft, and genocide. “From sea to shining sea,” the Native nations were decimated and dispossessed. The survivors were herded into concentration camps. The genocidal policy reached its peak under President Andrew Jackson. Its ruthlessness was best articulated...
Aviva Chomsky – Gunboat Diplomacy: Then & Now
15 Dec, 2025 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

The United States has a long history of intervening in the internal affairs of Latin American and Caribbean countries. From Cuba to Chile, from Grenada to Panama, the U.S. has invaded, occupied, staged coups, carried out assassinations, and imposed sanctions. Today, Washington has oil-rich Venezuela in its gunsights. It has deployed an armada of warships, including the world’s biggest aircraft...
Noam Chomsky – Manufacturing Consent
08 Dec, 2025 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

The media like to present themselves as objective, balanced and free from any bias or agenda. Reality suggests something quite different. The media function as weapons of mass distraction. Much of what passes as news is, sometimes subtle, sometimes crude, propaganda. The media are large conglomerates that serve to mobilize support for the special interests that dominate state and corporate...
Nadine Smith – Community & Resistance in Florida
01 Dec, 2025 | 0:57:02 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

In a world increasingly shaped by far-right policies, corporate greed, and growing authoritarianism, it makes sense to feel afraid about what the future may hold. Building strong relationships with our friends, families, and neighbors provides a foundation for mutual aid and collective strength. It’s through these connections that we can counter the isolating and exploitative systems imposed by predatory capitalism....
David Korten – The Future of Humanity
24 Nov, 2025 | 0:57:00 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

We are at a dangerous moment in human history. Philosopher and thinker David Korten says, “We stand at a crossroads between two possible futures. In one future, we continue on the path of separation and likely bring the human chapter of creation’s journey to an untimely end. In the other future, we find our rightful place as responsible, loving members...
Stephen Bezruchka – Health Care in America
17 Nov, 2025 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

The United States today has the dubious distinction of being the only major country not to guarantee health care for its population. Some 85 million Americans are uninsured, half a million go bankrupt every year because of medically related debt and we have one of the lowest life expectancy rates of any rich country. One out of four patients are...
Mischa Geracoulis - Media Framing of Cultural Destruction: Artsakh & Gaza
10 Nov, 2025 | 0:57:00 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

Artsakh, also known as Nagorno Karabakh, is an historic Armenian area located in the Caucasus Mountains. In 2023, Azerbaijan invaded and ethnically cleansed the millennial-old Armenian population. The so-called civilized West looked the other way. Looking away has been harder to do in Gaza because of the enormity of the Israeli attack and the sheer scale of death and destruction....
Jesse Hagopian – The War on Education
03 Nov, 2025 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

The right-wing war on education is well-documented. The battleground extends from elementary and middle school all the way up to Harvard and Columbia. Books have been cut from curricula and pulled from school library shelves. Teachers have been fired. Schools that teach critical race theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion are being threatened with defunding. The radical right wants to...
Noam Chomsky - The Right Turn
27 Oct, 2025 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

The U.S. is an imperial power. After World War Two, it emerged as the global hegemon. The right turn accelerates under Reagan and continues today. Its salient features are a massive transfer of resources from the poor to the rich, an increase in state power and an aggressive interventionist foreign policy enabled by a huge military apparatus with bases all...
Bill McKibben - The Clean Energy Revolution
20 Oct, 2025 | 0:57:00 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

2024 was the hottest year ever recorded. 2025 will probably be even worse. Our planet is heating up. If present trends continue a UN panel of scientists says it would be “disastrous for humankind.” Fossil fuels, including coal, are major contributors to global warming. So, what is the regime in Washington doing about it? It’s promoting fossil fuels with its...
Nader Hashemi - Gaza, Israel & the United States
13 Oct, 2025 | 0:57:00 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |

Official U.S. policy in the Palestinian Israeli conflict is one of being the great enabler for Israel. A new study from the Cost of War Project at Brown University finds the Biden and Trump regimes in the last two years have given Israel $21.7 billion in military aid. In addition, Washington extends crucial diplomatic and political support to Israel. Omar...
