“The world is increasingly on fire, literally and figuratively,” says host Allen Ruff at the beginning of today’s episode. So let’s talk about it! This afternoon, we opened up the phone lines to hear from listeners about their own observations and concerns about our world-on-fire.

Callers weighed in on newsworthy topics like the political crisis in Bolivia, the highly contested bed-down of F-35 fighter jets in Madison, the ramifications of Scott Walker’s Act 10 on labor and unions, Wisconsin’s new felony trespass bill, conflict abroad in places like Palestine and Iran, and more.
