Nature Bats Last

Guy and Mike are joined by by two

extraordinary women, Ama and Bo. Both have made choices that many are

too fearful to ever consider. Both had the foresight early in their

lives to live rather than make a living. They have been living on the

fringe of the dominant culture for decades and have a wealth of

knowledge most of us will never approach. Guy gives a climate update as

well.

Guy was joined today by Professor Jim Fetzer, known primarily for his

work debunking the official narrative regarding historical events such

as 9/11, mass shootings, and "false flags." Four callers joined with

questions, and the show wrapped with a short climate-change update.

We were joined today by award-winning author and public speaker Marty

Essen. We also took calls from four callers, and we wrapped with the

customary climate-change update.

This week Mike and Guy were joined by independent journalist Cory

Morningstar. They discussed and analyzed the words of prominent activist

Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org. Guy adds a brief climate-change update.

Guy and Mike entertained calls from listeners on this week's show.

Topics ranged from local to international, and included abrupt climate

change, human behavior, the Breakthrough Energy Coalition, American

Geophysical Union, and the methane situation at Porter Ranch.

This week we visited with Doug Peacock, a prolific writer who lectures

regularly about wilderness and veterans issues. He served two tours in

Vietnam as a Green Beret medic, trying to preserve life on the edge of

the battlefield. He came home an emotional and spiritual wreck. With the

publication of Edward Abbey's The Monkey Wrench Gang in 1975,

Peacock became a hero not only to other veterans, but to a nascent

contingent of environmentalists. Peacock was the subject of a feature

film about grizzlies and Vietnam called Peacock’s War. The film

premiered on PBS Nature, and won the grand prizes at the Telluride

Mountain film and the Snowbird film festivals. You can read more about

Peacock at his website, dougpeacock.net

We were joined this week by journalist, filmmaker, and graphic designer Leighton Woodhouse. His print stories have appeared in Gawker, The New Republic, VICE News, The Nation, Salon, and The Awl, and he has produced short documentaries for The Nation, Story of Stuff, and Participant Media.
