Political organizer/activist Helen McCloskey returns for a conversation covering the basics of US Civics and voting in a way that is interesting, inspiring and easy to grasp. We also talk about the relationship between Israel, Palestine and the U.S. from Helen’s own experience as a community organizer, staff-member and traveling companion to Rep. Pete McCloskey. Helen and Rep. McCloskey made several trips to the Middle East, met with politicians, diplomats, ordinary people, and worked with Arab-American community organizations in the States since the late 1970’s. She shares her informed insight on not only the politics, but how to emotionally and spiritually persevere. Join us.

Babblin’ on in Babylon is the official segment title for my solo live show musings. Keeping it real for better or worse. Today’s reflections are on the No Kings rallies taking place across the country, the explosives launch at Ft. Pendleton, the government shutdown and how it relates to what we’ve covered in our current book club selection, “Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis and the Next” by Dean Spade. Thank you for listening.

“Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)” by Dean Spade is an easy to read handbook for folks interested in caring for themselves and others while working to build a more equitable society in times of upheaval.

Travis makes a surprise visit. What a relief! We talk a lot about what I am now calling “bubble casting,” the mindful art and mysticism of blowing bubbles. The metaphors are enlightening: bubbles inside of bubbles, without and within. Also, personal and political posturing, and what all of this has to do with the movie “The Labyrinth.” Please join us.

A somber show. I talk about the violence in America this week: Trey Reed, Cory Zukatis, the two homeless encampment shootings in Minneapolis, Brian Kilmeade’s words, and the history of state sanctioned violence against marginalized people. Also, story-time about “Strange Fruit,” the song’s author, Abel Meeropol, and Nina Simone’s “Mississippi Goddam," the unedited recording from Westbury, NY. Thank you for listening.

***The tracks mentioned in this show, “Strange Fruit” (Billie Holiday) and “Mississippi Goddam - Unedited version from original live concert” (Nina Simone), are not available on podcast platforms due to copyright. The full show with music IS available at the Mixcloud link below. You may also find those songs where you find music.

The voices in my head urged me to pull a thread on a Marvin Gaye t-shirt. I followed it down a rabbit hole and learned about what we know as The Vietnam War, Marvin Gaye, his brother, his fighting spirit, and how the album “What’s Going On” almost fell into a hole of its own, possibly never to see the light of day. Did you know Berry Gordy hated the song and the whole concept of “a protest record?” Did you know September 21, 1970 is listed as the last recording date of the single “What’s Going On” (55th anniversary in 8 days), and September 16, 1971 “Inner City Blues” was released as a single (54th anniversary in 3 days)? I straddle the past and present, the battles behind us and the battles before us, and discuss why this album and that war are still relevant. Join me.

You may also find “What’s Going On” and “Inner City Blues” by Marvin Gaye, and “Voices Inside (Everything Is Everything)” by Donny Hathaway where you find music.

Travis joins me to talk about the Introduction of the book, what mutual aid is and why we need to practice it.
