LISTENING TO THE OCEAN with Michael Stocker
Dissolving the hubris of humans into nutrient for participatory animism….To dispel bad ideas disguised as “energy transition,” Caroline welcomes, long-time-ally, marine acoustician, Michael Stocker…(who is as though the Ocean adopted a human guise to be its voice…) What is the Ocean saying say to us now?!
Michael has served as the electronic and musical engineer on the benchmark film “Koyaanisqatsi,” and as a project development engineer for Pax Scientific, working in applied physics and acoustics – exploring how the principles of bio-mimicry can be used in fluid and air movement systems.
As founding director of Ocean Conservation Research he is using his fluency in bio-acoustics to explore the impacts of noise on ocean animals to inform ocean policy and practice toward decreasing human bio-acoustic impacts on marine habitats..

MOATS - The Mother of All Talk Shows with George Galloway
Moving toward the end of our trial run, we have had a limited response so far, and it is trending more negative than positive. If you think we should keep airing the Mother of All Talk Shows, let us know by emailing comments at kpfk dot org, or better yet, by donating to support Somethings Happening and KPFK and let us know that you're in favor. Conversely, if you'd rather have us bring back Thom Hartmann for all four nights, donate and let us know that. Because without your donations, we may end up with nothing at all.

Guests include Ken Klippenstein, formerly with the Intercept, on US troops moving into Jordan in large numbers, and Chris Hedges
