BIOMIMICRY (From The Archives)


“Biomimicry,” as sine qua non for life on planet… that humans humbly cooperate with Nature’s guiding design Genius

Again we are drawn to replay this most fantabulous show from the archives with Janine Benyus.

Benyus describes herself as “Scientist, animist, poet,” founder of Biomimicry Institute.


“Let’s learn democracy from bees! Before our arrogance destroys the bees, who truly know how to vote.”

“Range voting.” Grief and ingenuity…innovation & limits

From Fall 2008 – but so powerfully pertinent to now… www.JanineBenyus.com

Cancer Memoir: "Medical Apartheid & Racism Isn’t Some Far-Off Myth"

Interview of Walela Nehanda by Stahimili Mapp

We at Out FM are pleased to welcome a young writer, Walela Nehanda. She is here with us to discuss her stunning debute book Bless the Blood: A Cancer Memoir.

Walela, who was diagnosed with advanced leukemia at aged 23, wrote this memoir to help process her illness, contemplate her own death, document the racism and uncaring nature of the U.S. medical system, and dance with her ancestors. Our conversation covers her response to all of the above and more.

This is a new, young voice who, it has been said, writes in the tradition of Audre Lorde. She does not disappoint. Music: Changes, by Tupac Shakur

The Need for Independent Media, undermined by Corporate Media Self-Censorship on Gaza

Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield co-host this week's program. In the first segment, Mickey's guest is Prof. Raza Rumi, who explains the declining relevance of giant "legacy" media and the essential work of independent media. Later in the program, Mickey and Eleanor share their observations on how establishment media are slanting Gaza coverage in Israel's favor, going so far as to censor their own journalists to accomplish this.

Raza Rumi is Director of the Park Center for Independent Media (www.parkindymedia.org) at Ithaca College in upstate New York, and has held a variety of other academic appointments in his career. Among the Park Center's activities are its annual awards for excellence in independent journalism, the "Izzies" (named after I.F. Stone).
