Do you have the feeling you’re watching a car wreck in slow motion? That’s how our fragile democracy feels to me now. Through political calculation and the desire to control elections, Republicans have employed the filibuster to ensure their minority continues to rule.

Does commercial health insurance - if affordable - provide the kinds of coverage restaurant workers need to cope with backbreaking work and emotional abuse? Who would want to risk catching COVID to do a job that pays $2.13 an hour plus tips? Join Brenda Waybrant, union organizer and former long-time restaurant worker, and host Brenda Gazzar as they discuss how COVID was a wake-up call for workers in a service industry that in too many cases, ignored and forgot them during the pandemic.

In this split episode, Danger Dan, Jungle Jim, and Philosopholy talk about hostile alien invaders, with superior technology, laying siege to a world that doesn't belong to them (we're referring of course to Israel). We go on to discuss how the American people's stance on this conflict has shifted in the last decade. In the second part (coming next month) we make a connection to the recent release of ALIEN footage. Special bonus live reading of our very first hate mail from a disgruntled libertarian!

I talk with historian DAVID KAISER about two books. His own A LIFE IN HISTORY suggests that as fields like African-American History and Women’s History emerged to deal with evidence nobody had bothered to look at before, we’ve tended to look less at our roots in European politics and diplomacy or at history’s broader sweep. Might this increase our tendency to repeat the past? THE FOURTH TURNING: An American Prophesy (Straus & Howe) holds that history is not linear, but cyclical, and that every 80 years or so, a crisis disrupts society, the old order crumbles, and a new order emerges. No surprise - we’re in the midst of such a crisis. Do we emerge broken or renewed?

Karel Cast Fri Aug 6 Is It Finally The Day After Tomorrow? So, a current in the Atlantic Ocean is stoping and if it does cue Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhall because it truly is The Day After Tomorrow. And what are we doing about it? You guessed it. Plus a quick look at the news, albeit most of it bad, and a talk about handling birthdays of those that have passed as Aug. 7 is Andrew Howard’s birthday.
