Sounds True with Tami Simon – Insights at the Edge
Mark Matousek: Living Like a Stoic
When things are at their worst, says celebrated author and writing mentor Mark Matousek, Stoicism is at its best. Considered the most practical of all philosophies, Stoicism is on the rise in today’s world—for reasons you’ll hear discussed in this podcast.
Give a listen to this educational, pragmatic, and perspective-shifting conversation with Mark and Sounds True’s Tami Simon exploring control versus acceptance; using the mind in a more skillful way; humility, proportion, and appropriate action; taking responsibility for what we’re capable of; amor fati, to love life; working with your emotions; Emerson and “the exterior life”; writing prompts for letting go of the disempowering stories we tell ourselves; choosing how we hold our memories; why Stoicism is not a form of bypassing; adversity as a path to freedom; the practice of turning the obstacle upside down; shifting your angle of vision and telling the whole truth; “cosmic optimism,” Emerson’s reality-based form of hope; asking questions and finding your own way; doubt, confusion, and struggle on the spiritual path; Emerson’s view of enlightenment; 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.

Grayzone Radio with Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate’
'Our goal is to stop the genocide': Houthi spokesman meets The Grayzone
Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, senior political officer and spokesman for Yemen's Ansarallah movement, explains the objectives behind his movement's naval blockade of the Red Sea in this interview with The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal. Al-Bukhaiti also responds to military threats from the Biden administration and allegations that Ansarallah is controlled by Iran's IRGC.
Part 2:Traumatizing the public into compliance with official Israeli, US lies
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss how US and Israeli officials weaponize trauma and exploit the public's psychological weakness to deflect from their own failures. They also discuss the ongoing discrediting of the NY Times' article alleging systematic sexual violence by Hamas on October 7, and the US media's ignoring of allegations by Palestinian women in Gaza of sexual violence by invading Israeli soldiers.
Grayzone Radio is a production of The Grayzone, an independent news website dedicated to original investigative journalism and analysis on politics and empire. Washington DC-based independent journalist and author, Max Blumenthal, founded The Grayzone and is your host on Grayzone Radio.

The Final Straw Radio
First up, you’ll hear part of an interview with Shupavu wa Kirima, General Secretary of the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party, who comes on to talk to us about the ongoing hunger strike among prisoners at Red Onion State Prison in Virginia protesting the abuse of solitary confinement and the medical status of hunger striker Kevin Rashid Johnson. Keep updated at https://RashidMod.com
Then, Yuval Dag, an Israeli anarchist member of Meaarvot recently imprisoned for publicly refusing conscription, talks about draft refusal, opposing the war on Palestinians and the occupation and undoing zionist ideology. More at https://linktr.ee/meaarvot --most of the links are in Hebrew but your browser will translate fairly accurate to information like this:
Last month, about 10 teenagers burned their draft orders during the weekly demonstration against the regime coup in Tel Aviv, after announcing earlier that they would refuse to serve in the army in protest of the occupation and apartheid. The symbolic act gained attention, perhaps thanks to the "new refusal" on the part of the protest participants against the regime coup, hundreds of whom announced that they would not report for reserve duty if Yariv Levin and Simcha Rotman's reform plan was implemented.
Local conversations with high school students and young men and women active in the Bloc Against the Occupation and other organizations indicate that the protest against the regime coup and the political awareness it aroused accelerated a process of radicalization among them. They feel that other young people are also more willing to hear about the occupation. The issue of refusal is also much more common.

GOOD FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS-OR DO THEY? (Part 1)
Queer in Your Ear is guest-producing Tuesday's program. Emily Charles and Mary Salome are graduates of the KPFA/Pacifica Apprenticeship Program in the San Francisco Bay Area. They have been working together since 1992. They write: "We like the word queer to describe ourselves, and reject a narrow, single-issue focus on queer identity in favor of building alliances around shared goals for the liberation of all people. At the same time, we acknowledge the role of labels in creating visibility and power." You can find their previous programs on soundcloud.com/queer-in-your-ear
Tonight's program is Part 1 of GOOD FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS-OR DO THEY?, a series of programs about borders, walls & fences, visible or invisible, that keep us in, keep us out & keep us divided. Part 1 focuses on red lining, racial covenants and other institutional policies which created and continue to enforce segregation. We focus on Chicago but these issues are national, and probably happening somewhere not too far from where you're listening. If you're not familiar with Chicago neighborhoods, the context should make things clear.
This program is dedicated to Lorraine Hansberry, the award-winning Black lesbian author of A Raisin in the Sun, and her father Carl Augustus Hansberry, who fought and won the fight against race covenants in Chicago. You'll hear an excerpt from the film version of her screenplay of A Raisin in the Sun in the middle of the program. The program also honors OUT-FM's intersectional approach to understanding queer issues. This stance reflects the reality that our struggles are intertwined and injustice is not a one-issue problem.

Restoring Eden: Unearthing The Agribusiness Secret That Poisoned My Farming Community
Did you know that the majority of corn seeds planted in the United States are coated with a powerful pesticide that harms pollinators, birds and other wildlife? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Elizabeth Hilborn, DVM, registered nurse, farmer, and author of Restoring Eden: Unearthing the Agribusiness Secret that Poisoned my Farming Community (Chicago Review Press, 2023). Hilborn recounts her tragic story about how neonicotinoid seed coatings washed onto her farm, and the resulting devastating impact on wildlife and garden crops. Hilborn connects the dots of "agricultural practices/pesticides, lack of government oversight, and public and environmental health”. Related website: https://elizabethhilborn.com/

Archival episode from last January: Angelique Geehan, Udoro Ekpin, Milan and Nora
Milan and Nora
Nora and Milan are both 14 years old and non-white. They are in 9th and 10th grades attending Westside and Lamar High Schools. You can find them doing a number of things for fun: Nora enjoys photography and reading; Milan enjoys doing theater at Lamar and working out (getting RIPPED) at the gym. Both of them love doing art (Milan prefers digital, while Nora prefers traditional) and writing. They met in 2020 via email, but never really clicked. In April of 2022 their families met at a park — the first time they met IRL — but the real event driving them into friendship was a slightly poorly conducted joint interview. Ever since then, they’ve been good ol’ pals.
Udoro Ekpin
I am a human who desires to see other humans, God’s lovely creations, live in their wholeness. I am Udoro Ekpin, and I have the pleasure of wearing some meaningful hats: A Mother of Three, A Sister to Four, A Friend to a Select Few, and A Child of One. Raised in Houston, TX, I am a Nigerian-American who is proud to be a graduate from Texas schools. From my formal teaching years to my consulting work through Restorative Empowerment for Youth (REY), I remain a life-long learner. My background in restorative justice (RJ) processes lends to my understanding about others and the world around me—making certain being seen and heard is not simply a cliché—moving from conversation to action.
Angelique Geehan
As a consultant, facilitator, and organizer, Angelique (any pronouns) works to support and repair the connections people have to themselves and their families, communities, and cultural practices. She builds intergenerationally, with colleagues across disciplines, to question and depolarize the beliefs and practices that can lead to isolation and feelings of powerlessness — co-creating or reclaiming ways (like carrying children in fabric close to their caregivers) that can promote resilience and healing from historical and social harms. A queer, agender, Asian mother, she coaches individuals and groups; trains community and health care workers and educators; and offers lectures, classes, and workshops on topics including consent, cultural awareness, community building, relationships, parenting, and conflict and communication, in alignment with social justice and transformative justice frameworks. She invites you to connect via her website: angeliquegeehan.com.

Prefatory note:
Coleman 1 the federal prison where Leonard Peltier is held captive has gone on permanent lockdown.
Prisoners are supposed to be allowed out two hours a day but haven’t been.
The last time people talked to Leonard, he asked where his supporters were. He asked me if anyone cared about these lockdowns.
Leonard lives in a filthy, cold cell 22 to 24 hours a day. He has not seen a dentist in ten years.He lives in pain from untreated ailments. Leonard is a relentless truth-teller. THAT is why Leonard remains imprisoned. He will not lie. He will not beg, grovel, or denounce his beliefs.
Please raise your voice. Ask your representatives why they have abdicated their responsibility to oversee the Bureau of Prisons and ensure they adhere to Constitutional law.
Leonard should not have spent a day in prison. Click “LEARN” on this website to find out what really happened. www.freeleonardpeltiernow.org
