Blasted into bedrock of the island of Olkiluoto in Finland on the shores of the Baltic Sea, Onkalo has to remain secure for 100,000 years.
Danish filmmaker Michael Madsen’s documentary of the building in progress of Onkalo is a meditation on eternity, insanity and the impossibility of projecting anything 100,000 years into the future.
The film also proves eloquently and with expert statements the terrible danger that arises from so-called spent nuclear fuel from power plants and makes us see Fukushima with very different eyes.
This radio program presents excerpts from the film and its amazing sound design.

SEA CHANGE RADIO: All Pooped Out: Rethinking Human Waste With Nick Kawa (00:29:00)
As we are reminded by the popular children’s picture book by Taro Gomi, everyone poops. But not everyone disposes of that poop in the same way. In many countries, waste is carried away by potable drinking water, while in other places the scarcity of water has prompted different approaches. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Nick Kawa, an anthropology professor at Ohio State University and the author of After the Flush: Rethinking the Future of Human Waste. We take a look at how modern sewage systems evolved, learn about the potential regenerative effects of incorporating bio-solids into agriculture, and look at some new waste solutions for the estimated 3.5 billion people who lack access to safe sanitation systems.
LAURA FLANDERS AND FRIENDS: Akinsanya Kambon Uses Art To Educate Masses About Social Justice Issues (00:28:00)
With each glimmering piece he creates, artist Akinsanya Kambon brings suppressed histories of both colonization and liberation to life. His ceramic works depict struggle and survival across the African diaspora, and stepping into his studio is a spiritual experience, as Laura Flanders recently discovered. Kambon was a member of the Sacramento chapter of the Black Panther Party where he worked on the layout and illustration of the partys famous paper and became lieutenant for culture, illustrating among other things the party’s ten point plan and works for young people. In 2023, he won the prestigious Mohn Award ” the top prize given by the Hammer Museum for his participation in their biennial Made in LA show, titled Acts of Living. His one-man show opened in Beverly Hills at Marc Selwyn Fine Art in April 2025. An exhibition of his work will open at the New York Sculpture Center in May 2026. In this unique conversation, Flanders asks Kambon about his own survival stories, including his polio diagnosis, getting drafted into the Vietnam War, and his year on death row. Kambon was arrested in connection with the killing of a police officer and was later acquitted from that high-profile Oak Park Four case. Join Flanders and Kambon as they discuss how art keeps spirits alive, and catch Flanders commentary on today’s fight to control our nations stories.

THE BRADCAST: 9/17/2026 A Simple Solution to the AI Apocalypse Panic?; Guest: David Dayen of ‘The Prospect’ (00:58:00)
On today’s ‘BradCast’: A shocking new report details new ‘concerning’ behavior by a ‘frontier’ AI model. The scary headlines warning of potentially apocalyptic outcomes from unregulated leading artificial intelligence giants have triggered panicked responses from lawmakers to Do Something. DAVID DAYEN, Executive Editor of The American Prospect, delves into the concerns and fears about rogue AI agents, potential risks and dangers to people and the economy, and suggests a fairly simple short term solution that could establish a safer way forward — by enforcing existing laws. Polling shows voters generally regard Democrats more favorably than Republicans in the midterm elections, prompting a few GOP candidates to distance themselves from Donald Trump’s unpopular policies. But rightwing billionaires have only just begun to deploy their money bombs. Plus Desi Doyen has our new ‘Green News Report.’

Then the heated politics of their time came between them, until by 1800, they were enemies. Fortunately, they patched their friendship back together when they were safely retired from public life and died on the same day, the Fourth of July 1826, in lovely harmony, one in Virginia, the other in Massachusetts.

LITERATURE ALOUD: Looking Backward 2000-1887 by Edward Bellamy ch. 28 (00:39:22)
Published in 1888, this short novel focuses on the education of a wealthy man from 1887 who, amidst the labor struggles and wealth inequalities of The Gilded Age, experiences a “Mesmeric sleep” until the year 2000 when he is awakened to see an America transformed by the gradual, non-violent evolution from primitive capitalist exploitation to an advanced cooperative socialism. The novel predicts the radio, the credit card and big box stores as the characters discuss the problems and illogic of dog-eat-dog capitalism and the superior culture of a society focused on the benefit of all rather than the enrichment of a few.

ALAN WATTS: Alan Watts Opens Up About Religion (00:17:54)
This summarised lecture by Alan Watts is from the Alan Watts Library at https://alanwatts.org. The image of Jesus is owned by the church traditions and authorities. He has been moulded to fit the interests of the church patriarchs for centuries, so much so that the prevailing image of Jesus is now so far removed from what he truly represented. Namely an energy from the future who came to earth to bring illumination and knowledge to humanity. The reason why the Jesus/Jeshua personality came to earth was to create an opening or doorway to a different state of consciousness. He wanted to set an example of the possibilities that are available to each human being. He wanted to hold up a mirror to human beings and remind them of their own divine origin and the dormant potentials they carried within. The potentials for peace, freedom and mastership over oneself. Speech extract from “Jesus: His Religion” by Alan Watts, courtesy of https://alanwatts.org

THE BRADCAST: 9/15/2026 A Midterm Bullet Dodged (For Now). Can’t Say Same for the Climate (00:58:00)
On today’s ‘BradCast’: Election officials and voters across the nation are relieved after the US Supreme Court blocked Donald Trump’s unconstitutional executive order attempting to use the US Postal Service to interfere in the critical midterm elections and undermine mail-in voting. The man-baby president threw a tantrum in response. But it isn’t over — Trump and Republicans will continue their schemes to steal the midterms. A Florida county experienced how the now-blocked USPS rule would have generated chaos in the election. Costco restricted shoppers’ purchases of motor oil as Trump’s expanding Iran War triggers shortages of refined oil products. Trump’s EPA repealed limits on climate-warming emissions from the nation’s polluting power plants, and moved to block future administrations from enacting emissions standards.

ENCOURAGEMENTOLOGY: When Helping Becomes Overstepping: Are You Helping or Holding Them Back? (00:29:00)
This episode explores the complicated line between supporting someone you love and unintentionally getting in the way of their growth. Helping usually comes from a good place, but what happens when our desire to fix, protect, or make life easier begins removing the very experiences someone needs to build confidence, resilience, and independence? In this episode, we look at the difference between encouragement and rescue, why watching someone struggle can be so uncomfortable, and how stepping back can sometimes be one of the most loving things we do. Because maybe the goal isn’t to remove every obstacle, but to help someone discover they have the strength to climb over it themselves.
MAKING CONTACT: Is Southeast Louisiana Doomed? (00:29:00)
A study published in May in the journal Nature Sustainability reports that the shoreline could eventually sit some 30 miles north of New Orleans. The finding does not come from a model. The authors dated a buried ridge north of the city and identified it as a shoreline from the last interglacial period, the last time global temperatures were about where they are now. Three quarters of Louisiana’s remaining coastal wetlands are projected to be gone or going by around 2070. Two river diversion projects meant to rebuild that land broke ground and were canceled.
This week we ask what preparing actually looks like, and who gets to do it. Our guests describe a slow, generational shift inland rather than a sudden evacuation, and they push back on the idea that the people who stay are refusing to face facts. Insurance pricing, not scientific consensus, is how most people first learn what their home is worth in a warming Gulf. And in one researcher’s surveys, most residents who say they would relocate if flooding worsened also say they want to stay in the same parish.

THE BRADCAST: 9/14/2026 Going Postal…50 Days Before Midterm Election Day (00:58:00)
On today’s ‘BradCast’: America has just 50 days to go until the critical midterm elections — last chance to vote is November 3rd. The US Postal Service’s restructuring resulted in the rejection of thousands of legal, on-time, mail-in ballots across the country, particularly affecting rural voters. Two federal courts blocked Donald Trump’s unconstitutional executive order directing USPS to interfere with mail-in balloting. A whistleblower and the Postal Workers union warn USPS is radically unprepared to implement the order. The US Supreme Court blocked Trump’s USPS scheme, but voters should try to vote early, dropping their ballot at a dropbox or polling place, or mail ballots at least 7 days before Election Day and ask for a manual postmark. The road ahead will get very bumpy, so vote carefully, and spread the word. Callers weigh in.

SPIRIT IN ACTION: Navigating the Long Dark and Being Good Ancestors: Climate Changed & Peterson Toscano (00:55:00)
Peterson Toscano is our guest host today as he explores how we can find our footing and maintain our spiritual integrity during times of profound global disruption. In the first half, Peterson shares an excerpt from The BTS Center’s Climate Changed podcast, featuring a conversation between host Autumn Brown and Norma Wong.

In the second half, we return to the Climate Changed podcast as Autumn Brown guides psychotherapist and author Francis Weller through a discussion on The Long Dark. He offers profound reflections on the necessity of communal grief, the transformative power of ritual, and why maintaining an adult presence “and deep friendship” is essential for our collective resilience. The Climate Changed Podcast is a gift of The BTS Center, produced with the help of Peterson Toscano.
LITERATURE ALOUD: Looking Backward 2000-1887 by Edward Bellamy ch. 26 (00:34:15)
Published in 1888, this short novel focuses on the education of a wealthy man from 1887 who, amidst the labor struggles and wealth inequalities of The Gilded Age, experiences a “Mesmeric sleep” until the year 2000 when he is awakened to see an America transformed by the gradual, non-violent evolution from primitive capitalist exploitation to an advanced cooperative socialism. The novel predicts the radio, the credit card and big box stores as the characters discuss the problems and illogic of dog-eat-dog capitalism and the superior culture of a society focused on the benefit of all rather than the enrichment of a few.

ALAN WATTS: Stop Thinking about Life -1968 full lecture (00:22:56)
Alan Wilson Watts (6 January 1915 – 16 November 1973) was a British philosopher, writer, and speaker, best known as an interpreter and populariser of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. Born in Chislehurst, England, he moved to the United States in 1938 and began Zen training in New York. Pursuing a career, he attended Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, where he received a master’s degree in theology. Watts became an Episcopal priest in 1945, then left the ministry in 1950 and moved to California, where he joined the faculty of the American Academy of Asian Studies. Watts gained a large following in the San Francisco Bay Area while working as a volunteer programmer at KPFA, a Pacifica Radio station in Berkeley. Watts wrote more than 25 books and articles on subjects important to Eastern and Western religion, introducing the then-burgeoning youth culture to The Way of Zen (1957), one of the first bestselling books on Buddhism. In Psychotherapy East and West (1961), Watts proposed that Buddhism could be thought of as a form of psychotherapy and not a religion. He considered Nature, Man and Woman (1958) to be, “from a literary point of view—the best book I have ever written.” He also explored human consciousness, in the essay “The New Alchemy” (1958), and in the book The Joyous Cosmology (1962). Towards the end of his life, he divided his time between a houseboat in Sausalito and a cabin on Mount Tamalpais. Many of his books are now available in digital format and many of his recorded talks and lectures are available on the Internet. According to the critic Erik Davis, his “writings and recorded talks still shimmer with a profound and galvanizing lucidity.

Encore: original airdate 9-8-2026. On today’s ‘BradCast’: Midterm Mayhem is underway in the final two months before the critical midterm elections. Donald Trump is launching the first-ever GOP Midterm convention in Texas this week, focused primarily on himself.

Republican officials in Ft. Worth, Texas voted to close 92 polling places used in the 2022 midterms, including at college campuses. Missouri’s state Supreme Court blocked GOP state lawmakers’ newly-gerrymandered voting maps. Incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) sued 700 of his own low-income patients for non-payment.

EARTH RIOT RADIO #238: Are Wall Street Investors Sick of the Apocalypse? (00:29:00)
2026 will be the hottest year in history and in the number two position? 2024. 2023 and 2025 are tied for 3rd place. The vertical climb of scalding heat is killing people, animals and plants as I type these words but the millions of people in the “investor class” blocks the sharing of resources and welcomes Donald Trump’s compassless government. The investors wield their hate from air conditioned interiors. The Earth is made of love, but her struggle to survive humanity’s polluters will be the end of us.

KEEPING DEMOCRACY ALIVE: The Trump Era and the Psychology of Moral Courage (00:58:00)
Researchers are beginning to understand why some of us demonstrate what is called moral courage and others do not. In fact, most of us actually have a warped sense of our own moral courage. We like to think nothing would get in the way of our morals. But this week’s guest, award winning journalist Alina Tugend has found that, sadly, pretty much everything gets in the way between us and our moral courage. Despite Americans mythic belief in individualism, the fact is we generally go along to get along with the crowd. Especially in these uniquely frightening times of rising violent fascism we can’t be just reactive; there are steps we can take to both avoid violent repercussions and productively act on moral courage.
AGING MATTERS: Climate Change and Older Adults (00:58:03)

Blasted into bedrock of the island of Olkiluoto in Finland on the shores of the Baltic Sea, Onkalo has to remain secure for 100,000 years.
Danish filmmaker Michael Madsen’s documentary of the building in progress of Onkalo is a meditation on eternity, insanity and the impossibility of projecting anything 100,000 years into the future.
The film also proves eloquently and with expert statements the terrible danger that arises from so-called spent nuclear fuel from power plants and makes us see Fukushima with very different eyes.
This radio program presents excerpts from the film and its amazing sound design.

THE LABOR HERITAGE POWER HOUR: The Stories That Made Us (00:55:00)
Art, stories and songs don’t simply preserve labor history – they help working people recognize their power and imagine a different future.
This week, we hear artists and historians at the Reuther-Pollack Labor History Symposium reflect on the creative legacy of organized labor. Erik Ruin and Tabitha Arnold explore art rooted in solidarity and working-class experience; Max Alvarez considers how stories shape who we are; and Shaun Slifer explains why he calls himself a community-taught historian.
Then we travel to Tacoma, Washington, where union members gather each Labor Day at the grave of Ralph Chaplin, the Wobbly poet and artist who wrote Solidarity Forever. What began with one friend quietly honoring Chaplin has grown into a community tradition of remembrance and song.
Finally, Tampa organizers Roger Butterfield and Manny Ramirez take us into Ybor City’s often-overlooked radical history – from cigar workers and Cuban independence to women-led antifascist organizing – and explain why workers must be remembered as makers of history, not passive figures in it.
Plus, Harold Phillips has the latest Labor Arts News Briefs.

SEA CHANGE RADIO: Wonder Materials: Bryan Guido Hassin of DexMat (re-broadcast) (00:29:00)
Copper and steel were pivotal to the industrial revolution. But these days, it’s clear that continued reliance on these substances as our key building materials has devastating environmental implications, including habitat destruction from open-pit mining, water toxification from acid mine drainage, and air pollution from sulfur dioxide emissions. Fortunately there’s an emerging array of cutting-edge materials that hold promise for eco-conscious developers. A company named DexMat has developed a material called Galvorn, which is fantastical stuff right out of Spider-Man. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Bryan Guido Hassin, the CEO of the Houston-based DexMat, to learn more about Galvorn. Hassin explains how Galvorn is made, what makes it different from conventional materials, and the many exciting potential applications of this futuristic stuff that could get your radioactive blood pumping.
LAURA FLANDERS AND FRIENDS: Complete Picture Sentencing Reform – These Films Keep People Out of Prison (00:28:00)
An individual facing prison time may also be a dedicated parent, a valued employee, an asset to their community. Though it may sound obvious that a person is much more than a crime, the U.S. justice system does not typically function as if this were the case. Millions of people are in jail for non-violent offenses, many of which amount to little more than possession of drugs, parole violations, and misdemeanors. And racial bias, gender inequity, and economic disadvantage all play a role in the uneven sentencing of defendants. But what if judges could see a whole person before they sentence them? Would we turn away from endless incarceration – from punishment generally – towards empathy, rehabilitation, and reintegration? An organization called Complete Picture uses the power of film to give judges exactly that: a complete picture, an in-depth, humanizing look at the lives of individuals facing prison for non-violent crimes. Complete Picture has helped reduce or prevent prison time for every single defendant it’s worked with and the organizations founders say this is just the beginning: films like theirs could become a regular part of the sentencing process across the country. Today, its art that’s changing lives and healing a broken system, one person at a time. Joining me are Complete Picture founder and CEO Rebecca Grace and art director John Gray, partners in life and work, and two of the defendants that they’ve worked with – Gary Roberts and Chondra, defense attorney Shari Rusk, who brought Rebecca and John their very first sentencing mitigation video project.

LISTENING TO AMERICA with Clay Jenkins #1720 The Declaration of Independence: The Days After Adoption (00:59:38)
Host David Horton interviews the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, about the days and weeks following the Fourth of July 1776. How quickly did the printed texts of the Declaration circulate? What was the information network of the time that enabled most Americans to read the Declaration (or hear it read in public) within a few weeks? The final copy had to go to an engraver to become the beautiful presentation document we still revere today. At the time, the Founders did not know that the Declaration would become the most important document in the history of human liberty. Meanwhile, George Washington came very close to losing the war — and perhaps the independence movement — after getting bottled up by the British on Manhattan. This episode was recorded on August 14, 2026.

ALAN WATTS: Alan Watts Opens Up About Religion (00:17:54)
This summarised lecture by Alan Watts is from the Alan Watts Library at https://alanwatts.org. The image of Jesus is owned by the church traditions and authorities. He has been moulded to fit the interests of the church patriarchs for centuries, so much so that the prevailing image of Jesus is now so far removed from what he truly represented. Namely an energy from the future who came to earth to bring illumination and knowledge to humanity. The reason why the Jesus/Jeshua personality came to earth was to create an opening or doorway to a different state of consciousness. He wanted to set an example of the possibilities that are available to each human being. He wanted to hold up a mirror to human beings and remind them of their own divine origin and the dormant potentials they carried within. The potentials for peace, freedom and mastership over oneself. Speech extract from “Jesus: His Religion” by Alan Watts, courtesy of https://alanwatts.org

CHOOSE TO BE CURIOUS: Untrammeled Curiosity & Civic Thought, with Stephanie Almeida Nevin (00:28:00)
The Yale Center for Civic Thought is dedicated to encouraging thoughtful public discourse and civically responsible intellectual life by helping students practice disagreement, curiosity, and thinking without the pressure to perform.
They support what they call “untrammeled curiosity.” This idea of NOT being captive in a loop of our own making stuck with me, a vivid image of what otherwise happens when we swim along mindlessly, maybe going along with the crowd, neither heeding nor challenging where the waters are taking us.
“The point is to be in conversation and see where it goes.” ~ Stephanie Almeida Nevin

Well look at why holding on to anger can feel strangely safe, how unresolved anger can spill into unrelated relationships and everyday interactions, and why letting go doesn’t mean excusing what happened. Most importantly, this conversation offers a compassionate opportunity to recognize what your anger may be trying to tell you, what it might be costing you, and how to begin making room for something else.

Despite Americans mythic belief in individualism, the fact is we generally go along to get along with the crowd. Especially in these uniquely frightening times of rising violent fascism we cant be just reactive; there are steps we can take to both avoid violent repercussions and productively act on moral courage.
