    Truth to Power | 2026 KCC Legislative Summit Highlights | Preventing Floods & Data Centers | 1-30-26
    Jan 30 2026
    On this week's show, we bring you more highlights from the 2026 Kentucky Conservation Committee's Legislative Summit that was held online on Sunday afternoon, January 25th. You can learn more about it and find links to all the great materials referenced at https://kyconservation.org/legislative-summit-2026 The Summit includes a review of conservation legislation and trainings on key conservation and environmental issues in Kentucky to provide you with all the necessary advocacy tools you need during the 2026 Kentucky General Assembly and beyond. These sessions included a broad look at the anticipated topics of the 2026 General Assembly, related federal legislative issues, basic training on ways for citizens to engage as a “citizen lobbyist”, plus tips on how to be more effective with your legislative advocacy in a virtual world or in person. On today's show, we take a deep dive into two environmental issues that have been very threatening to communities throughout the Commonwealth, but particularly in Appalachia: flooding and the construction of hyperscale data centers. After a brief welcome from KCC Director, Lane Boldman, you'll hear from Brian Storz, the Licking River Basin Coordinator at the Kentucky Division of Water on nature-based solutions for stormwater mitigation. After that, we switch gears to hear from Max Moran and Janet Garrison, two citizen activists with the “We are Mason County” Citizen’s Group who have been mobilizing at a grassroots level to resist the steamrolling of data center developers over the health and wellbeing of their neighbors.

  • Economic Impact | Episode 61 | Interview with Dr. David McNally on his book Slavery and Capitalism

    Economic Impact | Episode 61 | Interview with Dr. David McNally on his book Slavery and Capitalism
    Jan 29 2026
    A discussion with historian Dr. David McNally of the University of Houston on his recently published book, Slavery and Capitalism: A New Marxist History, published by University of California Press. He makes the strong case that slavery before the US Civil War is basically the same thing as labor, something which most if not all economists and historians have either ignored or not realized. This is an informative and fascinating book which also illuminates the ties between slavery and capitalism.
