    No One is Safe
    2025/04/13
    It's a ton of stuff to talk about this week - Martial Law - what is it? Should we be worried (yes); the deportations and moves to protect Trump from the judiciary's rulings - is anyone really safe> The SAVE Act - if it passes, what will you need to vote. The budget and its cuts to Medicaid and other programs. All this and a nasal cure for the Bird Flu too, on this Week in the Bomb Shelter.

    • We listen to Jeffrey Goldberg explain the timeline of what happened

    • We read some lowlights from the Signal chat transcript that Jeffrey Goldberg & The Atlanticreleased on March 26 which prove that there was, in fact, classified material discussed on the chat
    • We listen to some of a Project 2025 training video titled “Oversight and Investigations” that discuss the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), how appointees can communicate in ways that make public oversight more difficult, & proper use of encrypted chat platforms like Signal.

  • The Sum of All Fears with Jillian Ratliff

    The Sum of All Fears with Jillian Ratliff
    2025/03/16
    Special guest Jillian Ratliff is back to talk about fears of living in an emerging fascist state and what it takes to face that fear. We get into the spate of illegal kidnappings, detainment of individuals, fear of traveling in and out of America (me: vacation; Jillian: leaving the US) comparisons of America and Nazi Germany (there are many, unfortunately) and the importance of speaking out despite fear of government retaliation, and the need for courage and self-care during challenging times. Stock up on gummies, coffee and Scotch for the long haul folks! On a happier note, Jillian is also a cartoonist and we talk about her work "George the Fear Monster" (fearmonstercomics.com) and we get her to commit (?) to making more comics! You can find everything Jillian at Jillianratliff.com

    The Bomb Shelter
    2025/02/17
    This is a short 15 minute bonus episode on President's Day I record this podcast in a bomb shelter built into the house in 1956. It got me thinking what being in a bomb shelter represents. I also remembered "The Shelter" episode from The Twilight Zone that scared me so much as a kid. And then I realized that what our leaders, with assistance from 77 million of our fellow citizens were doing was making America into one big bomb shelter - closing ourselves from the world on fire we helped create. What will become of us? With a nod to Rod Serling, I hope you enjoy (if that's the correct word) this ep.
