a double-interview on Common Threads, Sept 4, 2009: Jerry Paffendorf, the near-mythical tri-coastal (SF, NY, Detroit) futurist/entrepreneur, and the editor and creator of a new Apocalyptica zine in SF both come talk to Diamond Dave and Naomi Most for interviews. Naomi wants to know about the MakeLoveLand project to get people to invest $1 per inch in a million inches of detroit property (what kind of investment in that??) while Dave finds the common thread with Grace Lee Boggs, long-time organizer and protector of urban Detroit.

How Parasitic Capitalism Consumes, Confines and Controls. July 31, 2009. Featuring Daniel Coffeen, PhD. DJ Prefect brings her certified scientism to a discussion of an emergent socioeconomic system that trivializes art, literature, health, and leisure even while obesity and chronic diseases rise and science literacy reaches all time lows. How did we get here and where are we going? Jane, get us off this crazy thing!

YARR! Subversive Science takes over Charm School and delves into science news: Sweden puts "climate control" labels on food; MIT radio-tracking 3000 individual pieces of trash; evolutionary psychology falling out of favor; and some makedy-up news from the Onion that left many real-life researcher friends rolling in the aisles this week. Backing music from the Animatrix soundtrack, and of course tons of physics, health, memetics, and philosophy conversation. Because that's what you do when you hang out with Kiefer. Apologies for the low level on Kiefer's microphone - technical difficulties.
