Fast food workers in 200 cities across the country are going on strike on April 15, 2015. We talk about that in the first segment of the April 2, 2015 edition of Tell Somebody, including a conversation with fast food worker and Stand Up KC activist Melinda Robinson.

This Saturday, April 4, will mark 11 years since a bullet severed Tomas Young’s spine leaving him paralyzed.  Tomas is remembered with the re-airing of a conversation I had with him around the time Body of War, the film about him, was released.

The final segment of the show is a continuation of audio from a symposium organized by Dr. Helen Caldicott, The Dynamics of Possible Nuclear Extinction, held February 28 – March 1, 2015 in New York.
