Not only does a constant onslaught of information drown us, we must sift out not just business propaganda, but ideological propaganda as well. The effort leaves us cynical. We should blame those in the title of Episode 259: The Butchers of Certainty.
In this episode, I read from: a 2022 New Republic article, "How the Meat Industry Undermines Effective Climate Policy;" Joel Salatin's book, Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal; and my computer's quickie dictionary.
I play bits of: a KUOW interview I did with Kathy Duchamps back in 1999 (which, as far as I know, is not included in their archives); a podcast featuring David Wallace-Wells and Christiana Figueres (who I was surprised to learn was the former Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and played a vital role in the negotiations that led to the landmark Paris Agreement of 2015!); and Spencer Roberts from a 2022 This Is Hell! interview. Musically, KMFDM opens the show with a new opening featuring agriculture journalist Alan Guebert; and I close the show with Julie & Rolf & The Campfire Gang doing "Over the Rainbow."

Episode 258: Ticky Tacky Talkin'
Play Now!
Putting the descriptor "foreign" on any term often gives it more gravitas, perhaps more of a threat, than simply uttering the term alone. I consider adversaries foreign and domestic in this Episode 258: Ticky Tacky Talkin'.
In this episode, I read from: Matt Stoller's January 19, 2025 article from his newsletter Big; a blogger's exploration of what limitations are applied to that new Chinese ASoL; my computer's quickie dictionary; and Robert Heinlein's novel Podkayne of Mars.
I play: another excerpt from that horrible National Associations of Manufacturers' show, the American Family Robinson; D. L. Myers invoking the Powell Movement stinger; and George Hrab from the Geologic Podcast giving a wonderfully sarcastic "great". Musically, I play: Tony Brasunas opining on what free speech means, backed by KMFDM; and Julie & Rolf & the Campfire Gang doing "Over the Rainbow."
