| Making Contact — Stuffed & Starved
With food riots taking place all over the world and food prices continuing to rise, more people are asking, ’in a world with so many resources, why is our most basic need so hard to meet?’ 
In “Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System” author, Raj Patel, says he has the answer. Patel, who used to work for the World Bank, the WTO, and the United Nations, has become a harsh critic of the way those organizations set policies that he says lead to increasing hunger and food insecurity around the world. It’s a story of the global food system, about why there are one billion overweight people and 850 million going hungry, and about the millions of people who are fighting back. Featuring: Raj Patel, author of “Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the Worlds Food System.” Executive Producer/Host: Tena Rubio
Producer: Andrew Stelzer
Associate Producer: Puck Lo
Interns: Elena Botkin-Levy and Aubrey Green
Executive Director: Lisa Rudman

New release: stillorgan road
litmus0001 embarks on another journey to dark and beautiful corners of submental dischordian situationist impressionism with his 15th album and first Clinical Archives release, stillorgan road. This album, recorded and composed in the middle of a particularly long Wisconsin winter, contains six new pieces of moody lush atmospheric wide-space ambient soundscapes generated through experimental improvisation and informed with a relentless shoegazer aesthetic. It sounds like walking through the forest at night! Dr. B. Y. Featured Tracks

nocturne soninke litmus0001
Jonathan Ewald 6 string bass, 6 string guitar, Roland MC202, effects, liveloops, devices and implements, samples, field recordings, production.
home page & myspace Jonathan Ewald has recorded and performed as litmus0001 since 2001. He gets strange and lovely sounds from instruments you wouldnt expect to sound like that. He uses things like knives and chains and alligator clips and bamboo sticks on bass strings. He does things like put a contact mic on a big tin box that used to contain cheap Thai cookies, and beats the daylights out of it in front of an amp to counterpoint percussion and feedback. He improvises spacey arpeggios and plays with sliders and knobs. He runs it all through a few well chosen effects pedals and liveloops. He is influenced by many musicians, composers, artists and philosophers from diverse traditions and genres. home page & myspace
Making Contact — Catch of the Day: Mercury
What’s the Catch of the Day? Mercury. It’s poisoning our waters, our fish, our bodies and it isn’t going away any time soon. Each year tons of mercury gets into our streams, bays and oceans. How does it get there, what does it do to us and how can we protect ourselves? On this edition, we go to the San Francisco Bay. Joined by a public health analyst, we’ll talk to local fisherman, new moms, restaurant-goers and the E.P.A. about mercury. This program was made possible in part by a grant from the As You Sow Foundation. Featuring: Steve, fisherman; Eli Saddler, Northern California GotMercury.org public health analyst; Sarah and Kim, moms on pier; Linda and Margaret, PF Chang’s China Bistro patrons; Allan Hirsch, CA Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment Chief Deputy Director; Lisa Rudman, National Radio Project’s Executive Director.
