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.

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.

Two episodes tonight: “Who Shot Waldo?” and “The Red Wind”
