  • Soft Power Radio // The Nuclear West Volume Four: A(nother) Conversation with Bob Fulkerson about the Power of Ordinary People

    Join us for the fourth installment of a multi-part series on the Nuclear West, an exploration of anti-nuclear activism here in Nevada on Soft Power Radio. We'll be talking with Bob Fulkerson of Citizen Alert, PLAN and many other grassroots progressive movements. Bob will (modestly) share some stories from the frontlines, which have been drawn all over the state, from organizing and direct actions he was involved in to protest illegal bombing, short-sighted military schemes, nuclear waste dumping, and more. Somewhat less modestly, Bob will share his inspiring passion for organizing and believing in the real power of ordinary people to make a change, no matter the so-called odds.

  • Soft Power Radio // The Nuclear West Volume Three: A Conversation with Tom Polikalas about Energy and its Discontents

    Join us for the third installment of a multi-part series on the Nuclear West, an exploration of the anti-nuclear movement here in Nevada through its activists and advocates. This time, we'll hear from Tom Polikalas, long-time clean + renewable energy advocate and outspoken opponent of reckless government projects like Yucca Mountain and the MX Missile. Tom has always preferred to zoom in, supporting local initiatives with economic sense over big picture, big rhetoric plans that often ignore the people most affected - those that would have to live next door to deadly weapons or radioactive waste.
