Alan Watts
Philosophies of Asia: Ecology and Religion parts 1 and 2
Appropriate for the month featuring Earth Day and in the face of the on-going climate crisis, Watts meditates about connections between Eastern religion/philosophy and ecological consciousness. These are from the Internet Archive, pardon the sound quality, which is a little coarse.
The collection cites Watts’ own declaration about copyright: "Things can be copyrighted, thoughts cannot be copyrighted, and certainly meditations cannot be copyrighted. 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. For ten thousand years the East has been meditating and nobody has put trademarks upon meditations.” If you want to support the son of Alan Watts who recorded all these then please buy it from https://www.alanwatts.org/

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.

Sounds True w/ Tami Simon
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.
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.

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.
2 AM
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.
3AM
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.
Two episodes tonight: “Who Shot Waldo?” and “The Red Wind”
