Press Freedom and the Assange appeal; Green colonialism, Tribal consent & the Climate crisis
Britain’s High Court of Justice has ruled whether Julian Assange can appeal an extradition order that would send him to the U.S. Independent journalist Kevin Gozstola, author or Guilty of Journalism, explains to Mickey the implications of the order, and whether the US might file new charges against the Wikileaks publisher if it finally gets its hands on him. They also discuss the significant consequences for press freedom should the case move forward. Then, Eleanor spoke with independent journalist Hilary Beaumont about her recent reporting on solar geo-engineering and tribal consent. Hilary outlines how this technology represents yet another example of green colonialism, the negative and positive potential and effects of such methods, and the paltry attention corporate media give to issues such as Indigenous rights and the climate crisis.
Notes:
Kevin Gosztola is an independent journalist and author. He has covered the Julian Assange legal proceedings in the UK from their beginning, as well as other press-freedom and whistleblower cases. He has been a frequent guest on the Project Censored Show. His book on the Assange case, Guilty of Journalism: The Political Case Against Julian Assange was published in 2023. Gosztola is also the editor of the Dissenter newsletter. Hilary Beaumont is a California-based independent investigative journalist who covers the climate crisis, indigenous rights, and immigration. Her work has been published by The Guardian, Al Jazeera, and High Country News.

SCI Rockview is a prison in central Pennsylvania where incarcerated comrades have been facing repression for demanding justice in the face of impunity by racist COs and following a year of prisoner deaths due to institutional toxicity and guard violence. We speak to an outside supporter about the situation at Rockview, the reactions of administration, inside / outside relationships and solidarity that have flared up. We hope that this conversation contributes to increased and thickened ties between folks on both sides of the walls. You can read some recent posts about this situation at AbolitionistStudy.com and PHLAntiCap.NoBlogs.org and you can find audio from the wives of prisoners at SCI Rockview on In The Mix Prisoner Podcast.
This conversation was conducted via encrypted messages and recorded by a comrade Golem and Ash from the MolotovNow! Podcast, so a big thanks is due to them.

Seven Decades of War and Occupation on the Korean Peninsula - End the Korean War
The Korean War has never ended: Despite the U.S. government’s attempts to portray it as a long-ago victory, it has never signed a peace agreement with North Korea. Tens of thousands of U.S. troops continue to be stationed on the Korean peninsula, first as part of the Cold War and now as part of the New Cold War encirclement of China. The devastating Korean war killed 4 million Koreans and left much of the North absolutely devastated. Peace activists continue to fight for a true and just end to the conflict.
We’re joined by Monica Kim and Christine Hong of the Ending the Korean War Teaching Collective to talk more about the Korean War and the day of action that took place in Washington, DC on April 5th, starting at Noon on the National Mall.

The business of war and the cost of US delusions about its "Exceptionalism"
In the first half of the show, researcher and US military veteran Christian Sorensen joins Eleanor Goldfield to discuss the business of war, the mapping of it, the remarkable spread of it, and the very real ability and need to shift this trillion dollar industry to something more sustainable and peaceful. Sorensen explains how the military industrial complex in this country is the classic definition of fascism, and why confronting this uncomfortable fact is quite simply necessary for a livable future.
Later in the show, we welcome Professor Richard Wolff back on the show, this time to articulate the dangerous delusions of American Exceptionalism that are not only hurting us, but our allies in Europe as well. Professor Wolff outlines extreme miscalculations vis a vis Russia, China, and Israel, how right-wing fear mongering is failing, and hope on the horizon thanks to leftist organizing and campaigning.

They are not things of the marketplace. Nobody can monopolize anything. But perhaps the West cannot understand the difference between an objective commodity and an inner experience.

THE NEW ADVENTURES OF NERO WOLFE
Episode 1: Stamped for Murder
Nero Wolfe first appeared on radio on July 5, 1943 on the NBC Blue Network in The Adventures Of Nero Wolfe. This series didn't last long and starred Santos Ortega as Wolfe and Luis Van Rooten as Archie. The second series was during 1945 on the Mutual network in The Amazing Nero Wolfe. This lasted only until December 15, 1946 and starred Francis X. Bushman and Elliot Lewis as Archie.
The third series was known as The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe. Starting on October 20, 1950 it lasted only until April 27, 1951. It starred Sidney Greenstreet, who played the villain in The Maltese Falcon film, as Nero Wolfe. The part of Archie was played by Lawrence Dobkin for the first twelve shows. Gerald Mohr took over for the next four shows after making a guest appearance in the twelfth show. Harry Bartell was Archie for the remainder of the series.
Nero Wolfe, also known as the galloping gourmet, was an armchair detective. He rarely left the house; instead, his assistant, Archie Goodwin, would do the “gumshoe-ing”, collect the facts and report back. Nero Wolfe would probably not have taken on many cases had he not needed the clients' money to pay for his two true passions: fine food and the collecting of orchids. Archie Goodwin, Wolfe's male secretary, prodded him into taking cases whenever the bank balance got a little low. The radio versions were based on a series of novels by Rex Stout, whose other claim to fame was developing the system of weekly savings accounts for children in NYC schools with the Dime Savings Bank of Brooklyn, where schoolkids could save five or ten cents a week into a savings account.

Anita Moorjani: Embodying Love in a Fear-Based World
How do we stem the tides of fear and aggression sweeping over our divided world? How can we spread the love that heals and uplifts everyone? Sharing insights from her bestselling book, Dying to Be Me, and her latest work, Sensitive Is the New Strong, Anita Moorjani offers her hope-giving answers to these questions of compelling urgency for our times.
Tune in for this remarkable teacher’s inspiring (and in many ways utterly mind-blowing) conversation with Sounds True’s founder, Tami Simon, as they discuss: a nonlinear understanding of time; living fearlessly; how to attune to the helping beings that surround us at all times; raising your vibrational frequency; the practice of asking for signs; following your intuition; how humanity’s belief in scarcity is contributing to our self-destruction; the root cause of the divisiveness in today’s world, and why we need a new way of defining “strength”; moving beyond limitations inherited from our families and cultures; the consequences of repressing oneself; becoming unapologetically who we are; the body as a reflection of our state of consciousness; multiple lives, one soul; embracing your gifts as an empath; and more.

For the Record with David Emory
Interview with Peter Levenda, author of "Ratline"
Dave has begun producing some new programs which we will start next week, but recommends running this archival episode, a follow-up interview with Peter Levenda, author of "Ratline", which Dave characterizes as a prequel to "Hitler's Legacy", the subject of the interviews the past few weeks. Dave says, "I recommend airing FTR#864, with some important information (recorded in 2015) about Donald Trump as an ideological successor to the Nazi view on immigrants, then airing the new shows."
1:00 AM
Grayzone Radio with Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate'
Licensed to Kill part 2
Max and Aaron continue their discussion and analysis from last week of the apparently Islamist terrorist attack in Moscow, and about the use of starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza, a war crime that is resulting in widespread famine, reinforced by Israeli civilians physically blocking humanitarian aid shipments.

The Final Straw Radio
Books Through Bars
This week, you'll hear our chat with David Mac Marquis, one of the editors and contributors to the recently published new book Books Through Bars: Stories From The Prison Books Movement out from University of Georgia Press. We talk about prison books projects, what they say about conditions inside, some of the value of this inside-outside organizing and what you can expect to find in the book. David "Mac" Marquis
The Final Straw is a weekly anarchist and anti-authoritarian radio show bringing you voices and ideas from struggle around the world. Since 2010, we've been broadcasting from occupied Tsalagi land in Southern Appalachia (Asheville, NC). We also frequently feature commentary (serious and humorous) by anarchist prisoner, Sean Swain.

Out-FM from sister station WBAI
What you always wanted to know about transgender but were afraid to ask
The program includes some pitching for WBAI, please support KPFK if you can.
Transgender identity is often thought of as a relatively recent phenomenon and right-wing trans-phobes like to characterize it as a 'trendy' fad; but in fact, there are people who anticipate contemporary transgender identities going back millennia.
Veteran transgender activist Pauline Park talks with Naomi Brussel and Stahimili Mapp about what transgender is and isn't and why right-wing Republicans are pushing an unprecedented wave of legislation in state legislatures across the country to limit and roll back the rights of trans people and especially trans youth.
Topics to be discussed:
1) Why are we doing this show?
2) Trans can be defined: legal, sex designation, biology, genetics, chromosomes.
3) Historical background
4) Concentric circles diagram & terminology
5) Trans as an umbrella term
6) Socially acceptable questions re gender identity, trans identity, hormones & surgery, etc.

The Rights of Nature from Robert Lundahl and Tracker Ginamarie Rangel Quinone
Our conversation today with Drea Burbank set the stage for a deeper dive into the lives and cultural practices of Amazonian Shamans, the Forest they’ve united to protect, and the innovative financial structures they’ve created to compete head on with oil, mining, and logging companies and the western systems which favor and support them.
They’re healers and leaders in a movement known as the Rights of Nature movement, which treats our life giving, and biodiverse natural world as a living and conscious being, one with legal, moral, and ethical rights…
…that ecosystems and species have legal rights to exist, thrive and regenerate.

John Steinbeck’s “Lifeboat”
Introduced by director of the film version, Alfred Hitchcock, and starring Marlene Dietrich, reprising her role from the anti-fascist World War II drama about the survivors of a ship scuttled by a Nazi torpedo sharing a lifeboat and seeking to determine who might be a Nazi saboteur in their midst.
2 AM
The Adventures of Phillip Marlowe
Raymond Chandler’s hard-boiled but complex detective, portrayed by Dick Powell, Robert Mitchum, and Humphrey Bogart on the big screen (and much later Elliott Gould and others in more recent adaptations) made it onto the radio. Murder My Sweet was responsible for Marlowe's first appearance on radio when it was presented on Lux Radio Theatre on June 11, 1945 starring Dick Powell and Clair Trevor.
Marlowe was a more complex character than some of his hard-boiled brethren. Sure he could handle a gun and take a beating. But, he was more than just a tough guy, he had gone to college, could play chess, and appreciated classical music. He also had his own strong ethical standards and turned down jobs that didn't measure up to those standards.
In April, 1947 the New York Times announced that the summer replacement for Bob Hope would be a new adventure-mystery series, The Adventures of Philip Marlowe. Airing on NBC at 10:00 p.m. on June 17th, the show starred Van Heflin with a script by Milton Geiger based on the stories of Raymond Chandler. Most radio shows had live audiences in the studio. The Philip Marlowe producers decided against the common practice because they thought audiences might detract from the show. However 19 of Los Angeles' top detectives were in the studio during the airing of the first show.

The West, including the US and France, the former colonial power, have never forgiven Haiti for its successful slave rebellion and successful war for independence, defeating Napoleon, 120 years ago, and have continued to bleed, impoverish, and prop up dictators In Haiti ever since.

Caroline welcomes Erica Gies – to guide our rogue species back to collaborative Earth Citizen manners (aka animism)…. by asking “what does water want?” ….
Erica Gies is an award-winning independent journalist who writes about water, climate change, plants and critters for Scientific American, The New York Times, Nature, The Atlantic, The Guardian, National Geographic, The Economist, Washington Post, bioGraphic, Wired, and more. Erica is a National Geographic Explorer, served as a staff editor at various publications, and cofounded and edited two environmental news startups, Climate Confidential and This Week in Earth. She has received the Rachel Carson Award for Excellence in Environmental Journalism, lectures at the University of Victoria Southam, and was a finalist for the Falling Walls Science Breakthrough of the Year Award.
Erica is the author of Water Always Wins: Thriving in an age of drought and deluge. The book begins by asking a revolutionary question: What does water want? Most modern development has erased water’s slow phases — wetlands, floodplains, high altitude grasslands and forests — that soften flood peaks, store water for droughts, and keep natural systems healthy. What water wants, say water detectives exploring this question, is a kind of un-engineering that reclaims these slow cycles, offering us greater resilience.

Jay Ward Struggles To Be Released
Then, you’ll hear from James "Jay" Ward, a long-time abolitionist who has been incarcerated in Ohio for over half his life, since he was 15. Over the years, he has participated in the national prison strike of 2018, various hunger strikes, and other movements against the abuse and mistreatment of incarcerated people.
One of his major political goals is to educate the public about the struggles he and other prisoners face to create systemic change. Without a sentence reduction, Jay will likely spend the next 25 years in prison as well. Jay is currently raising funds to pursue post-conviction relief so that he can reunite with friends and family and begin a new life on the outside. Despite Jays best efforts, he was not able to visit his mother before she died of an illness in 2022. He would like the chance to spend time with his father, who is also in poor health, before he passes.

TRIBUTE TO JOAN GIBBS, BLACK LESBIAN MOVEMENT GIANT
Tribute to Joan Gibbs (1953-2024), Black Lesbian Attorney, Activist and Movement Giant
On Tuesday, March 26, Out-FM will present a tribute to the late Black /African-American lesbian leader and lifelong human rights stalwart, Joan Gibbs, who passed on March 14 at age 71. Joan was a brilliant strategic thinker and doer who was a forerunner of the intersectional action that’s now widely considered essential to progressive social change. We will hear several voices explaining her monumental significance to multiple movements. We will also hear Joan talk about her own history
and her views on the activist groups in which she played key roles. This will include her reflections on:
the importance of the late 70s/early 80s group DARE (Dykes Against acism Everywhere), which she co-founded and which, as she explained, fought both racism in the lesbian/gay movement and homophobia in the Black movement.
her representation of ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) members at protests and in courtrooms. She considered ACT UP “one of the best expressions of progressive politics in its practice that has existed since the Civil Rights Movement.”
Joan was also an occasional contributing producer to Out-FM and a dear friend whom we miss tremendously. Joan Gibbs, Presente!
-------------
Just a few highlights of Joan's long and illustrious career (thanks to Rosemari Mealy, Karen D. Taylor, and other colleagues for this information):
Over the years Joan Gibbs worked at the ACLU, the Center for Constitutional Rights, and for 28 years was general counsel for the Center for Law and Social Justice at Medgar Evers College. In the
1970s, she was a key member of the National Lawyers Guild’s Grand Jury Project defending activists against intense grand jury abuse. Later, she became a leader in the National Conference of Black Lawyers and was co-chair of the Brecht Forum (sponsor of leftist educational and organizing events and courses) during the 2000s-2010s.
She not only litigated cases involving gender and racial justice, she represented organizations and political activists such as ACT UP (the overwhelmingly queer AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) and Black Liberation leader Herman Ferguson. As an independent attorney, she also represented former members of the Black Panther Party such as Sundiata Acoli (co-defendant of Assata Shakur) in their efforts to overturn unjust convictions. In the 1990s, she played a key role in the legal and
political defense of Mumia Abu-Jamal, at a time he was facing execution.
Look for an announcement later about plans for a memorial in May.

It's a surprisingly rewarding journey, as the desert itself puts Biodiversity under a "microscope." The intricacy of species and their biological niches, their interdependence and dependence on systems interactions revealed, guide us in our steps forward, gaining new knowledge, moving into a world of adaptation to climate change and into our own ever evolving thinking.

Banned Books Back! Project, and “We are All Sacrifice Zones”
In the first half of the show, Libertie Valance and Cindy Barukh Milstein join host Eleanor Goldfield to talk about how a small coop bookshop in Asheville, NC came to be the keeper of more than 20,000 youth books banned in Florida, the emergence of the Banned Books Back! initiative, and how a growing connection of people across state lines are finding creative ways to circumvent the rise of book bans.
Next up, professor, author and organizer Nicole Fabricant joins the show to talk to us about Curtis Bay: a sacrifice zone microcosm, one that is mirrored all over the nation and indeed the world. Nicole highlights how primarily black and brown communities are overburdened not just by pollution and corporate malfeasance but by the need to become their own scientists, doctors and advocates. She shares powerful stories of autonomous youth organizing, and how we are in fact, all sacrificed to corporate greed.
Libertie Valance and Cindy Barukh Milstein work at Firestorm, an anarchist co-op bookstore in Asheville, NC. Their bookstore accepted 22,500 copies of books banned from Duval County elementary schools and are donating the books to families in Duval County. Many of the banned titles feature Black, Brown, Asian, Indigenous or LGBT characters. More information is available at the bookstore’s web site, https://firestorm.coop/.

Final Straw Radio
This week, were sharing an interview with Xinachtli, an anarcho-communist Chicano political prisoner held in the McConnell Unit of the Texas prison system. Xinachtli, whose name is Nahuatl for seed is also known by his state name of Alvaro Luna Hernandez. Xinachtli spoke to us recently about his views on the white supremacist, colonial system of the so-called USA, the legacy of genocide of indigenous peoples in the southwest of Turtle Island, his jailhouse lawyering and his upcoming parole bid.
From our prior interview intro:
Xinachtli is serving a 50-year sentence since 1996 in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for aggravated assault on a Sheriff in Alpine, Texas. The Sheriff was serving a warrant for Xinachtlis re-arreast at Xinachtlis home. When questioned on the nature of the warrant, the Sheriff pulled a gun and Xinachtli was able to disarm him and make an escape without harming the Sheriff significantly.
After a few days of manhunt, his mother’s house was surrounded by numerous local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and the house was besieged. It was only a 9-1-1 call from Xinacthli made stating that he was not being allowed to surrender that caused the troops to stand down and he allowed himself to be taken into state custody.
The grounds for the arrest warrant have since been overturned, but based on the post-facto word of the Sheriff that Xinachtli had pointed the gun at him, Xinachtli was sentenced to 50 years. He’s been determined to be a political prisoner based on his participation in multiple cases against abuse by prison officials and police, his jailhouse lawyering, advocacy for Latinx and other marginalized people in Texas and his political stance that the US and state governments occupying the Southwest of Turtle Island is a racist and illegitimate regime.

A few notes from Xinacthli's Support Team:
Xinachtlis support team is undergoing a transition and expansion, at the moment, which is why the ways to donate aren’t more formal.
Per Xinachtlis request, donations would go to: fundraising materials, commissary, potential podcast (if the institution approves), movement building, some core team needs, jailhouse lawyer work, and for post-release support if he gets out.

In the first half of the show, we welcome back Hassan Ben Imran, board member at the Law for Palestine organization. Hassan gives host Eleanor Goldfield updates on the ICJ case of genocide and how he believes the case is pushing the movement for Palestinian rights from the streets into the halls of policy and legislative power. Hassan also sheds light on the attack against UNWRA, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees and how Israel used a media propaganda campaign to smear the agency so as to both shift focus from Israel’s crimes and get rid of a thorny agency whose very existence represents Palestinian’s right of return. In the second half of the show, we are all Julian Assange. As we mark the anniversary of the release of frequent guest Kevin Gosztola’s book Guilty of Journalism: The Political Case Against Julian Assange, we wait with baited breath to see if his last appeal in the UK courts will be heard or if he will soon find himself on US soil facing charges of telling the truth.

Part 1: The Genocide Democrats: Max Blumenthal speaks at WNDC
At the Woman's National Democratic Club in Washington DC on March 7, 2024, The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal discussed the crisis within the Democratic Party as the party grassroots revolts against President Joe Biden's vehement support for Israel's rampage in the besieged Gaza Strip, where at least 30,000 have been killed to date - mostly women and children.
Blumenthal points the finger at the Democratic Party establishment for crushing any and all iterations of antiwar politics, and illustrates how its most prominent figures have been bought off by the Israel lobby.
Part 2: Assange's brother: "Julian could receive the death penalty" if extradited
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal interviews Gabriel Shipton, film producer and brother of Julian Assange, during his latest visit to Washington DC, where he was pushing lawmakers to oppose the Biden administration's prosecution of the jailed Wikileaks publisher.

This week, featuring three segments. First up, you’ll hear a chat with organizers of the 2024 Heart of the Valley Anticapitalist Bookfair which ran its first iteration in Corvallis, Oregon from January 19-21st. A zine of their experiences will appear on that blog soon.
Then, you’ll hear a brief segment updating listeners on the conspiracy case against six anarchists and antifascists in Russia known as the Tyumen case (for where it initiated). The six anarchists, some of whom barely knew each other, were tortured into confessions of conspiracy to further anarchist ideology and damage the Russian war machine. Transcription at our website
Finally, we spoke with Aster, a European anarchist involved in the counter-surveillance and anti-repression project known as the No Trace Project which works to share information about known methods and cases of state surveillance. The project does this in order to improve and expand our collective knowledge, tools and abilities at evading state crackdowns as we organize and act. This interview was conducted via encrypted messages and Aster's portion is being read by an unrelated volunteer. Transcript at our website

Millions Mobilize for Palestine
Millions of people took to the streets around the world on March 2nd in solidarity with the people of Gaza as Israel is reportedly preparing an invasion of Rafah later this week, just before the start of Ramadan. In New York City, Havana, Albuquerque, Caracas, British Columbia, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul and beyond, the massive day of mobilization shows that the movement against the Israeli genocide in Palestine will not slow down until the attacks are over.
Even the Democratic Party is being forced to shift its rhetoric in the face of mounting pressure, though it remains steadfast in its support for Israel. Biden’s recent statements about increasing aid to Gaza, and Kamala Harris’ comment that we need an “immediate cease-fire for at least six weeks” come while the U.S. continues to veto ceasefire resolutions in the UN. But new surveys show that more than two thirds of the people in the U.S. support the call for a permanent ceasefire and de-escalation of violence.
And in a brand new Center for Economic and Policy Research/YouGov study, 62 percent of respondents who voted for President Biden in 2020 agree with the statement, “The U.S. should stop weapons shipments to Israel until Israel discontinues its attacks on the people of Gaza.”
We’re joined by Miriam Osman, an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement.

Water and Power
Robert Lundahl interview biologist and botanist Pat Flanagan, following up on last week’s episode about Cadiz. Water and Power tackles 10 years of solar development in the desert and its ever-expanding water usage profile in addition to a comparison and contrast with the Cadiz Inc. operation, examples of encroachment and settler disruption of Indigenous cultural norms and practices. Produced by Robert Lundahl and Tracker Ginamarie Rangel Quinone.
Several springs in the Mojave Trails National Monument are connected to an underground aquifer being drawn upon for a water marketing scheme. Meanwhile, on the surface, lands graded for Utility Scale Solar, located on pristine desert require massive amounts of water to "tamp down" sand and dust that have buried homes in Daggett and other rural communities.
Springs are sacred to the Chemehuevi and Paiute peoples. Bighorn sheep and other protected species depend on these remote springs for life and habitation. Pat gives us the dirt on the development of these remote and beautiful natural ecological treasures. Individual rain fed springs exist in a water cycle of evaporative transpiration potentially disrupted by Cadiz Inc.'s "billion dollar" water for profit plan.
Water and power are "gold" in California

Sounds True – Tami Simon
Alexandra Roxo: Dare to Feel
There are valid reasons why we sometimes guard our hearts. Yet when we keep them closed, we diminish our capacity to live life to its fullest. Alexandra Roxo has a gift for helping people “meet the difficult places” within us, to heal and open our hearts and “dare to feel” the emotions that were once too painful or overwhelming.
This episode of Insights at the Edge features Tami Simon in conversation with Alexandra about her new book, Dare to Feel. Inviting us to walk the transformational path of the heart and embrace the totality of our emotional experience, Tami and Alexandra discuss: the emotions of relationship and intimacy; being a warrior of the heart; an overlooked—and wholly avoidable— source of emotional overwhelm; the “spiritual illness” of seeking numbness; the willingness to take risks to nurture and express love, especially with strangers; how contemplative practices help us stay with the full range of our feelings; the intersection of human experience and spiritual experience; pain as a portal to the divine; self-awareness and witness consciousness; emotional resilience and self-trust; practicing feeling; and more.
Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests. Learn more at join.soundstrue.com.
Alexandra Roxo is an artist, bestselling author, spiritual teacher, and transformational coach. She has been featured as a guest speaker on many renowned podcasts and at numerous festivals and events worldwide, and she has been featured in multiple TV appearances, including two seasons of Netflix’s hit show Too Hot to Handle. Her work has also been featured in the New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, the Guardian, Nylon, and Playboy. For more, visit alexandraroxo.com.

Sounds True – Tami Simon
Alexandra Roxo: Dare to Feel
There are valid reasons why we sometimes guard our hearts. Yet when we keep them closed, we diminish our capacity to live life to its fullest. Alexandra Roxo has a gift for helping people “meet the difficult places” within us, to heal and open our hearts and “dare to feel” the emotions that were once too painful or overwhelming.
This episode of Insights at the Edge features Tami Simon in conversation with Alexandra about her new book, Dare to Feel. Inviting us to walk the transformational path of the heart and embrace the totality of our emotional experience, Tami and Alexandra discuss: the emotions of relationship and intimacy; being a warrior of the heart; an overlooked—and wholly avoidable— source of emotional overwhelm; the “spiritual illness” of seeking numbness; the willingness to take risks to nurture and express love, especially with strangers; how contemplative practices help us stay with the full range of our feelings; the intersection of human experience and spiritual experience; pain as a portal to the divine; self-awareness and witness consciousness; emotional resilience and self-trust; practicing feeling; and more.
Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests. Learn more at join.soundstrue.com.
Alexandra Roxo is an artist, bestselling author, spiritual teacher, and transformational coach. She has been featured as a guest speaker on many renowned podcasts and at numerous festivals and events worldwide, and she has been featured in multiple TV appearances, including two seasons of Netflix’s hit show Too Hot to Handle. Her work has also been featured in the New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, the Guardian, Nylon, and Playboy. For more, visit alexandraroxo.com.

The Final Straw Radio
This week, were sharing audio from anarchist prisoner in the UK, Toby Shone. Toby was arrested in November of 2020 after a car chase and during 5 simultaneous raids on residences in the Forest of Dean outside of Bristol. Toby was accused of being responsible for the insurrectionary counter-info anarchist site 325.NoState.Net as well as participation in the Informal Anarchist Federation " International Revolutionary Front, authoring communiques on behalf of IAF-IRF & the Earth Liberation Front, funding terrorism and being involved in the sabotage of a cellphone tower and having information on explosives. This raid and the case were brought in conjunction with the attempted linking of a diverse array of UK anarchist projects with terrorist charges via Operation Adream, which Toby understands to be conducted in conjunction with intelligence services from the Netherlands and German. The court failed to convict Toby Shone on these charges and only succeeded in convicting him of having and distributing hallucinagens and got 3 years, 9 months. Toby was then re-arressted while out on probation for having a cellphone and attending a prisoner support event.
Youll hear two audios from Toby, first him explaining his conviction and situation during his first incarceration, and then youll hear Toby recently answer a few of our questions and updating listeners about his recent re-imprisonment in HMP Garth, far away from his supporters in the Bristol area. Much thanks to Brighton Anarchist Black Cross for supporting Toby and this conversation. More information at https://brightonabc.org.uk. Brighton ABC and Tobys supporters have noted that hes been receiving pretty spotty treatment for his cancer and not getting a healthy vegan diet and so has lost some weight of recent. Tobys mail, including letters and books havent been making their way to him at HMP Garth. Its requested that supporters consider writing Toby a postcard, letter or email to help him through these next 8 months or so before his scheduled release and to inform his crew at forestcase (at) riseup.net of the mailing so they have a record in case it doesnt get to Toby.
Notably at that website youll see information about an upcoming International Anti-Repression Gathering happening in Brighton from March 30-31st. Theres information about signing up for the event at Brighton Abcs website.
Then, we were able to get an interview with Nicholas of Buenos Aires, Argentina to catch up on what’s been happening since the presidential election of libertarian capitalist Javier Milei. Mileis presidential campaign was highlighted by his claims to subvert the status quo of Peronism - a socially liberal form of democracy with decades of complicated contexts in the 20th century. Hes claimed to be an anarcho-capitalist, although his policies since election have been nothing short of classic neoliberalism: cuts to social welfare, hamstringing of labor unions rights to strike and picket, and doing away with common regulations of capital. While Americans have sought to understand Milei by comparing him to former U.S. President Trump, Nicholas outlines how this comparison falls short. We also talk about the role of organized anti-fascists in expecting continued clashes with the police, the social space & boxing gym La Cultura Del Barrio, and how the call for a general strike by mainstream labor unions in Argentina largely fell flat.

Tania Zirulik, Luna Homebirth
Tania Zirulnik graduated from midwifery school at the age of 23 in Lima, Peru, her native country. Since then, she has been able to participate in the birthing process in different settings, from hospital to home. Ultimately, it was home birthing that inspired her and brought joy to her work. Additionally, the experience of giving birth to her children at home with the support of her husband deepened her understanding of the birthing process.
Tania’s practice is based on listening to people’s stories and visions of their births and on empowering them to be active participants in the process of their pregnancy and birthing. Her care is personalized and aimed to educate and offer information necessary to build a trustworthy relationship with every pregnant person under her care. She adjusts her care to the needs of every individual so she can support them and contribute towards achieving the goal of a natural and powerful birth experience.

Sucking California Dry
Co-producer and co-host Robert Lundahl talks with botanist, biologist, and environmental justice activist Pat Flanagan. They have a process together of writing and checking each other’s facts. Since she’s on the board of Morongo Basin Conservation Assn., and a scientist, she has a history with the Cadiz Inc. water marketing scheme and its new CEO, Susan Kennedy, who was formerly Chief of Staff to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Pat has followed the struggle over water in the high desert since the beginning.
Sucking California Dry is about Cadiz primarily but questions California’s commitment to and implementation of the 30X30 Biodiversity policy mandate in light of the water harvesting and marketing. They compare Cadiz with the enlargement of Pacheco Reservoir by China in anticipation of having water rights and potentially water sales to China and/or elsewhere.
