Finally, the radio/podcast show of 4/22/2024 is now online for your listening convenience. Elaine and I lost our dear friend Keith Alden to sudden kidney failure on April 15th, and we grieve his absence in our lives. Keith was a Marine Veteran who experienced the wrath and destruction of the Vietnam. He then followed the spiritual path offered by Adi Da. He was also a fighter for justice. May Keith rest in peace.

The 4/22 show was our Earth Day show featuring our co-producer Ken Norton sharing his experience as a student at San Jose State taking part in a student action February 1970, prior to the nationally organized Earth Day, in burying a car as a sign that we wanted changes in policies for the environment. Our guest Starhawk, an ecofeminist, talks about our response as a nation to Earth Day in the last 54 years and the vigilance we still need. She also discusses with Elaine the Israel-Palestine war and the problems it demonstrates when people in the land of different cultures are ruled by one that favors one over the other.
