John Platt: In Search of The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker (re-broadcast)

When you visit the World Wildlife Fund’s list of critically endangered species, the first animals named are large, beloved mammals like the African Forest Elephant and the Eastern Lowland Gorilla. While these majestic creatures tug at our heartstrings, there are also a lot of smaller, more unsung organisms that are in grave risk of extinction, like the lowly freshwater mussel. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to environmental writer, John Platt, the editor of The Revelator to talk about some of the less glamorous animals that have recently been declared extinct or are on the brink of extinction. First, we take a deep dive into the plight of the ivory-billed woodpecker, a regal swamp-dwelling bird whose demise may or may not have been premature. Then we discuss why Hawaii is referred to by some naturalists as the extinction capital of the world, and look at the ethical quandaries presented by the emerging field of resurrection biology, also known as de-extinction.

George Washington Pt. IV

Kyle and Eric are joined by art aficionado Rae to dive into the surprisingly dramatic world of Gilbert Stuart’s portraiture—yes, the guy behind that George Washington portrait you see everywhere. They uncover the juicy details behind Stuart’s creative genius (and financial chaos), the careful crafting of Washington’s image to fit America’s budding identity, and even some macabre tidbits about grave robbing in the name of art. But that's not all—this episode introduces the very first POTUS Rating Scale, where the hosts boldly rank the presidents, starting with Washington. Spoiler alert: the father of our country sets the bar pretty high, but does get a perfect score? With plenty of  banter and unexpected twists, the conversation wraps up by celebrating the enduring legacy of art, leadership, and why Washington’s face deserves all the glory (and maybe even some shade).

George Washington Pt. III

Kyle and Eric dive into some of the most intriguing—and often overlooked—moments of early American history. They explore the State of Franklin, a rogue attempt at statehood that lasted four tumultuous years, the Yazoo land scandal that redefined political corruption, and the Jay Treaty, a deeply unpopular but pivotal step in repairing U.S.-British relations after the Revolutionary War. Along the way, they unravel the complexities of economic recovery, the cultural dynamics of post-Revolution diplomacy, and the messy politics of a fledgling nation finding its footing. From shady land deals to tense trade negotiations, this episode is packed with scandal, strategy, and the seeds of modern governance. Grab your powdered wig and get ready to geek out. It’s history, but with more sass and way fewer boring textbooks.

George Washington Pt. II

What do counterfeiting scandals, the Coinage Act, and George Washington’s tricky dance with the French Revolution have in common? They’re all shaping up to be the juiciest parts of this episode! Kyle and Eric dig into the early chaos of America’s currency crisis—when counterfeiters were thriving and the Coinage Act swooped in to save the day. But that’s just the beginning. As the French Revolution exploded across the Atlantic, Washington was stuck between a guillotine and a hard place. Should America back its French allies or stay out of the fray? His decision not to support the French revolutionists redefined America’s foreign policy forever and solidified the U.S.-British relationship—though not without drama. With plenty of insights and eye-opening history, Kyle and Eric prove there’s more to Washington than just wooden teeth and cherry trees. Hit play and let’s make history fun again!

Attention all adventurers and dreamers! Strap yourselves in for an inspiring journey on today's show. We're thrilled to welcome Yolanda Martinez, a multi-talented entrepreneur all the way from Carlsbad, New Mexico. Yolanda's life is a testament to the power of pursuing your passions. From author and singer to painter and drum maker, she's explored countless creative avenues. But that's not all! Yolanda also defied stereotypes by becoming one of the first women to work on a commercial fishing boat in Kodiak, Alaska. Today, Yolanda joins us to share her incredible story and chat about her new book, "Following Earth Mother's Heartbeat: The Memoirs of Yolanda." Get ready to be captivated by her experiences and wisdom. And for those who want to learn more about Yolanda's fascinating life, head over to her website at www.yolandasdrums.com. This is one interview you won't want to miss! This and more along with National Native News and Antonia Gonazles. Read all about Yolanda at https://www.indigenousinmusicandarts.org/ln-the-news/yolanda-martinez Biography Welcome to the rhythm of my journey, I am Yolanda Martinez, a Native American born in Southern New Mexico deeply connected to Earth Mother. My journey has taken me down many paths. Born into a family of thirteen in the vast cotton fields of Carlsbad, New Mexico, I yearned for something beyond the rhythm of their sun-drenched days. Driven by an innate connection to nature and a restless spirit, I embarked on a journey beyond my imagination. We moved to California central valley in 1965 and after high school I entered the corporate world in San Jose, CA. In 1975 at 23, I moved to Kodiak, Alaska where I became one of the first woman to work on a commercial fishing boat. I fished for two years as cook on the boat and doing all seasons like dragging for shrimp, going for Tanner, Dungeness, and King Crab in the Bering Sea and in 1978, I opened my first business, “Yolandas Gallery and Custom Picture Framing.” I spent eight years in Kodiak where I got married and gave birth to my daughter in 1980. In 1983, I moved back to the lower forty-eight, bringing with me the experiences and lessons from my time in Alaska. It was 1987 in Monterey, CA. when I made my first drum, and it turned out to be made from a redwood planter I purchased at the hardware store and a salted cow hide from Tandy Leather. My beater I made from an extra-long wooden spoon. It turned out pretty good. It was 1992 in Modesto Ca., that I began to feel a growing confidence in my drums when, without any announcement or advertisement, people started showing up at my door asking if I was the drum woman. When I replied, “I guess,” they would smile and say, “I think you have my drum here. “I welcomed them into my home, and they would choose their drum from the lineup. Somehow, I always knew which belonged to each person as soon as they came in. The path became incredibly challenging when I was guided to bring my drums to Native American Pow Wow Festivals. I sensed there could be significant repercussions, so I was very hesitant. The first festival I attended was in 1993 in Turlock, CA. My sisters came to support me as I was still not well. (I had suffered a poisoning and went to death’s door.) When the Elders discovered the beautiful drums in my booth were made by me, they approached me with a mix of curiosity and authority. Three male Elders came to my booth, examined the drums, and asked, “Who made these drums?” I responded, “I did.” They seemed angry and demanded “Who gave you permission?” I met their gaze, pointed a finger upward, and said, “If you know of a higher power that can tell me to stop, I will.” They hesitated, exchanged glances, looked at the drums again, and then said, “Nice drums.” This was my experience for the first four years of attending festivals across the country. After many years, a young man came to my booth and told me that I had become known as the “Master Drum Maker,” a recognition that brought tears and profound joy to my heart. I have traveled all over the US and Europe doing concerts, lectures on Native American ways, and drum making workshops for over 20 years. I created “Yolanda’s Apprentice Drum School” for people that want to become professional drum makers. It was the drum that brought forth my music, my singing, the courage to perform and my strong re-connection with Spirit and Earth Mother. . . . Aho

World War III in 2025? The Relentless Western push for Nuclear Armageddon.

This week, on the Global Research News Hour, with the new cold war evolving into hot wars on all fronts, we take a look at the forbidden scenario of a nuclear conflagration eventually emerging unless people around the globe can stop it in time to save the planet and themselves. In our first half hour, we speak once again to prominent Canadian anti-war activist Tamara Lorincz about the petition circulating recently trying to get Canada to prohibit nuclear weapons in the world. Then in our second half hour, we hear from the award-winning geopolitical and military analyst Drago Bosnic about the multiple scenarios by which warfare might escalate to the nuclear level and of the possible cost of doing nothing in the face of the emerging threat of ATOMIC DISASTER.

Laurence Gonzales— "Why Do Smart People Do Stupid Things"

Why do smart people do stupid things? This is the question asked by Laurence Gonzales, author of “Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why” and “Everyday Survival: Why Smart People Do Stupid Things.” Gonzales examines the mental scripts we follow as we live our lives and how these scripts prescribe our response to a situation based upon our past experiences. The problem is that sometimes these scripts result in wrong and possibly dangerous actions based on insufficient evidence or memory in our past experience. Gonzales’ work demonstrates how these scripts can sometimes lead to us being our own worst enemy. To break from this cycle and encourage full understanding of a situation and wise decision making, Gonzales encourages “curiosity, awareness, and attention.” He writes, “Those are the tools of our everyday survival… we must all be scientists at heart, or be victims of forces that we don’t understand.” In a series of two Radio Curious visits with Laurence Gonzales we discuss how our mental scripts are created both genetically and from our personal experiences and how to keep them from getting us in trouble. I spoke with Laurence Gonzales from his home near Chicago Illinois on January, 19 2009. Our conversation began when I asked him how human behavior today has been shaped by that of our ancestors many thousands of years ago. The book he recommends is “Survival in Auschwitz” by Primo Levi

Keith Ellis Presente! + The Role of Jimmy Carter

Keith Ellis Presente! A great scholar, poet, and translator of Marti, Guillen has passed and CIUT Taylor Report listeners will remember him as knowledgeable commentator on South American history and culture and a brilliant champion of Fidelismo and the Cuban revolution. Jimmy Carter was elected as an honest and "clean" President in contrast to "Tricky Dick" Nixon and would set America on a less bellicose path but after four years the U.S. returned to its natural path of bombing and mayhem. Carter returned the Panama Canal to Panama, despite Ronald Reagan saying "we stole it fair and square" and now Trump is announcing America should take it back. Bringing us to the important fact that the "good cop, bad cop" act of the Democrats & Republicans means that no US leader can be trusted. One gives, the other takes back.
