Puppy Mills, Oil Spills, & the Prince Who Crawled From the Sewer

Mark Wilkerson was my guest on the March 24, 2016 edition of Tell Somebody, just a couple of weeks ahead of the release of his new biography, Tomas Young’s War. Tomas Young was the Kansas City Iraq War veteran who died on the eve of Veterans Day, 2014, 10 ½ years after being paralyzed by a sniper’s bullet in Iraq. Tomas was featured in the must-see Ellen Spiro/Phil Donahue film Body of War which showed him dealing with his paralysis as he became an effective anti-war voice. Tomas Young’s War covers his entire life, but, perhaps most importantly, tells the story of the struggles he had between the period covered in the film and his death.

The March 10, 2016 edition of Tell Somebody featured former CIA analyst and frequent guest Ray McGovern on the phone for a live broadcast. McGovern, an admirer of Andrew Bacevich, begins by taking issue with some of his comments about Putin and Russia on Democracy Now! that morning. Ray talks about the U.S. supported coup in Ukraine and ends the show explaining why a US agreement to not move NATO one inch to the east was never put to paper.

Robert McChesney returned to the show for the last pledge drive edition of Tell Somebody, on February 4, 2016.

On the January 14, 2016 edition of Tell Somebody, Cecile Pineda returned to talk about her new book, Apology to a Whale: Words to Mend a World. Inspired, in part, by a case of mistaken identity, this book is a wide-ranging contemplation on why we are ruining the earth as a habitable home for ourselves and many of our co-inhabitants, prominently including a look at how human language influences attitudes and behavior.

                      The Ambassador's Daughter – Claire White Remembers

On the December 24, 2015 edition of Tell Somebody we heard a report from Kansas Citians Alice Kitchen and Carol Coburn on the recent delegation to El Salvador marking the 35^th anniversary of the murder of four church women there in 1980. One of the delegation participants was Claire White, daughter of Robert White, US ambassador to El Salvador 1980-1981, who was fired after refusing to cover up the guilt of the US-supported Salvadoran military in the murders. Alice Kitchen put me in touch with Claire White, and I reached her on the phone and recorded a conversation for the December 31, 2015 edition of Tell Somebody.
