The Final Straw Radio
Mutual Aid and Disaster Relief in Southern Appalachia
Over the first weekend of October, 2024, there was a deluge from two storms (including level 4 Hurricane Helene) descended on southern Appalachia, mostly on the eastern side which includes Asheville and other parts of western NC, eastern TN, south eastern Ohio, and northern Georgia.
At the point of this recording there are over 200 known dead and hundreds missing, portions of the region continue to be without electricity or cellular service, and where the toxic mud and water linger and separate people from medical and community care.
This episode, we're speaking with three people who've lived in the region and have been helping other residents distribute storm relief. If you're listening to this on the radio, please consider checking out the podcast for an additional half an hour of reports of their experience.

Choose To Be Curious
Curiosity and Bio-Diversity
Curiosity, biodiversity, rewilding -- these are the exciting places Carolin Sommer-Trembo Ph.D. takes us today. Carolin Sommer-Trembo PhD is a post-doctoral researcher and evolutionary biologist
Carolin is an evolutionary biologist. Her big goal is to focus attention on animal behavior as it effects evolution and biodiversity. To get there, she has studied curiosity in cichlid fish in Africa's Lake Tanganyika, combining some good old-fashioned field work with exciting new investigative tools, including AI and genetic scissors.
I came to the conversation interested in the curiosity angle, but Carolin's impassioned case for the importance of this basic research to eventually rebuilding vanishing biodiversity -- and the aforementioned "rewilding" -- puts the discussion on another level entirely.
Curiosity doesn't only promote biodiversity, it might just save us all.

Choose to Be Curious is a show all about curiosity. We talk about research and theory, but mostly it's conversations about how curiosity shows up in work and life.
Choose to Be Curious won the Alliance for Community Media's Hometown Media Award for best audio programming by an independent producer (2024) and best information talk show series (2021), as well as Arlington Magazine's Editor's Pick for best local podcast (2020).

We Decide - national Pacifica coverage of the election process
Health Care and Medicare At Issue in the 2024 Elections
Two-hour special looking at issues around health, health care and Medicare as they are being addressed (or not addressed) by candidates in the 2024 elections. This weekly program, focused on issues rather than personalities, was developed by sister stations WBAI in NY and WPFW in Washington DC, and is building towards special national Pacifica coverage on Election night, Nov. 5, with participation from KPFK here in So Cal, KPFT in Houston, TX, and Pacifica affiliates around the country, including in such "swing states" as Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina, as well as from Florida.
Following the Medicare discussion, they check in with our Pacifica affiliate in Asheville North Carolina to see just how that region is doing in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. They discuss the facts around FEMA recovery and relief efforts as opposed to social media lies, and issues around whether Congressmembers in the affected states supported funding for FEMA, as well as the role of radio in such crises.
While most of the US labor union movement has lined up behind the Harris-Walz ticket, the national Teamsters and Firefighters opted to stay neutral. We Decide talks with noted labor historian Joshua Freeman about organized labor's role in the election. Jenna Flanagan hosts.

Her first guest, international human rights lawyer Karnig Kerkonian, warns of a dire situation in Atsakh, known in the former Soviet Union as Nagorno-Karabakh, a South Caucasus region with a majority of ethnic Armenians, but surrounded by Azerbaijani territory. He says the ruler of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, has already carried genocidal attacks on the Armenians, driving many from their homes and land, and global institutions must take action.
     Then Chip Gibbons returns to the program, to describe the unprecedented death toll among journalists in the Gaza Strip, which in one year has exceeded number of journalists who were killed in WW II or the Vietnam War. He says there is abundant evidence that Israeli forces are deliberately targeting reporters, and asks what's become of the supposed US support for press freedom.
