StrangeSoundPodcast

Strange Sound is a podcast - basically meditations and bloviation on current affairs and politics from a non-violent leftist perspective.

As Americans, our problem is a simple one. We can’t stand to see other countries do with impunity what we ourselves have repeatedly done with impunity. https://t.co/Q7NGlAHYJr

I have never seen so many policy cross-currents between left and right as over Ukraine. Trumpist right-wingers are adapting a narrow anti-war stance. “Muscular” liberals and centrists appear to be hell bent on war. Dogs are dancing with cats. What a mess. https://t.co/JEMfHawl4A

Sometimes when it gets particularly frosty, I’ll play covers, like old Neil Young songs or numbers by Elvis Costello, Stones, Jethro Tull, etc. Holy cats! If that doesn’t warm you up, I don’t know what will. https://t.co/SuVQRTFNa7

In this special episode of Strange Sound I talk about the three major crises currently confronting us: the crisis of democracy, the COVID crisis, and the climate crisis, and how each fuels the other two. https://t.co/36tUW7C7fD

Stay tuned: New episode of Strange Sound dropping on Monday.

[Big Green @BigGreenJoe]

We live in an age of streaming media miracles, my friends. Somebody in Romania listened to our asses. How they found them with both hands I couldn’t tell you. https://t.co/UYDQqIAtIY

This week I talk about how far we've come over 20 years and how screwed we are for not moving faster, as the Supreme Court is poised to overrule Chevron deference and kill fed regulations. https://t.co/DAcvt0wPcd @loveandrageNY @BestOfTheLeft @majorityfm @MMFlint

[Big Green @BigGreenJoe]

THIS IS BIG GREEN Podcast is back, baby - a pasted-together program of songs from their back catalog recorded live by Joe – a virtual basement mini-concert, if you will, served up on toast. Videos to follow. https://t.co/G980aMnEBv

[StrangeSoundPodcast @StrangeSoundPod]

No show again this week. Still recovering from a weekend of 9/11 media retrospectives. Here's an unrelated blog post: https://t.co/WBYOjHC60S

Another week on the beach. Not. In any case, no show this week. Read my furious rant at https://t.co/vzp0A89tIQ luv, joe

Strange Sound is on hiatus through Labor Day. Listen to our recent shows at https://t.co/KJhL3MXJ30 and let us know what you think. See you in September.

[StrangeSoundPodcast @StrangeSoundPod]

This week I talk about Biden's follow through on his promise to withdraw from Afghanistan, with a brief overview of the conflict and the imperial context within which it persisted for 2 decades. https://t.co/dG2kj7qct3 @BestOfTheLeft @loveandrageNY @majorityfm @MMFlint

[StrangeSoundPodcast @StrangeSoundPod]

With a first-strike nuclear weapons policy in place for decades, it's a miracle we're still here. This week I talk about this policy, Dan Ellsberg's book, and what we need to do to stop this madness. https://t.co/au75CB5RO0 @BestOfTheLeft @majorityfm @loveandrageNY @MMFlint

[StrangeSoundPodcast @StrangeSoundPod]

Our corporate-friendly government has always fallen short when it comes to helping poor and working people. This week I talk about how policies like postal banking can begin to turn that ship around. https://t.co/VIJe5FpoXA @BestOfTheLeft @loveandrageNY @majorityfm @MMFlint

[StrangeSoundPodcast @StrangeSoundPod]

This week I talk about the political football the right has made out of COVID vaccines, PPE, and other aspects of the pandemic, and how reminiscent this obsession is with their climate skepticism. https://t.co/INd1yqCVp9 @loveandrageNY @majorityfm @BestOfTheLeft @MMFlint

[StrangeSoundPodcast @StrangeSoundPod]

This week I talk about the Biden Administration's decision to tighten sanctions on Cuba and how that reflects their continuing support for the imperial project. https://t.co/O6S1KjvqzC @loveandrageNY @BestOfTheLeft @majorityfm @MMFlint

[StrangeSoundPodcast @StrangeSoundPod]

Richard Branson's ridiculous flight last week was an illustration of how irritating billionaires can be, but the problem is not so much the billionaires as the system that creates and nurtures them. https://t.co/KAQoBvjKVc @BestOfTheLeft @loveandrageNY @majorityfm @MMFlint

[StrangeSoundPodcast @StrangeSoundPod]

This week I talk about workers resisting a return to crappy jobs and the degree to which that resistance is scaring capital silly. Also, a quick take on New York's 22nd congressional district. https://t.co/DeSpRmlgZY @BestOfTheLeft @loveandrageNY @majorityfm @MMFlint
