Meltdown with The Enviro Show, Tues. 3/29, 6:30pm

March 25th, 2011 Posted by Enviro Show

Greetings Earthlings. On Tuesday it’s day 18 of the Fukushima nuke disaster and a day after the 32nd anniversary of the Three Mile Island nuclear meltdown. Why are we boiling water with deadly radioactive material we don’t know how to dispose? This is the real March Madness, yes? Former Valley resident and nuclear activist, Harvey Wasserman calls in with updates and Citizens Awareness Network‘s Deb Katz returns to connect the dots to Vermont Yankee. D.O. waxes poetic with his take on Pluto Rising and we report back on the recent Vermont Yankee action in our E-Valley-uation segment. Time permitting we’ll also have a peak into The Enviro Show Echo Chamber and over at the Fool-on-the-Hill, but first it’s time for…Revenge of the Critters! Whale commandeers yacht, demand passage to new planet! (OK, so we lied about that last part).

“Shut ‘em Down” means it’s time for another E-Valley-uation: was last week’s anti-nuke vigil at Vermont Yankee effective? When will the state shut it down? Post your thoughts on the blog.

The Real Ides of March Enviro Show, Tuesday 6:30pm

March 10th, 2011 Posted by Enviro Show

Greetings Earthlings. The Earth has shifted on its’ axis, Japan is not where it used to be, and nukes are melting down. Japan’s NHK broadcaster reports that the cooling issue at Fukushima Unit 2 could lead to the same type of explosion that occurred at Unit 3 on Monday and Unit 1 on Saturday. We think that qualifies for the Ides of March, no? The sins of Old King Coal was to be the theme of this show but life got in the way. Deb Katz from the Citizen Awareness Network calls-in with the latest on nuclear meltdown, radioactive exposure and official obfuscation. The Fukishima Nuclear Power Plant is a General Electric (GE) Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) with a Mark 1 containment, the same type of creaky old nuke as Vermont Yankee. Did we mention that the Nuclear Recommendation…err…Regulatory Commission just granted VY another 20 year opportunity to meltdown right here in the Valley? In any case, we’ll truly have a full house ‘cuz: Jeff Biggers, activist and author of Reckoning at Eagle Creek also calls in from Coal Country while here in the not-so-large studio Peter Vickery joins D.O., Glen & Jean to tie-in that funky old Mt. Tom coal burner looming over the Valley. Peter has been working with Mass Sierra Club in an effort to get Mt. Tom to switch to cleaner burning natural gas. Of course gas drilling comes with its’ own host of ills and in our Enviro Show perfect world we’d rather see corporados in treadmills producing power, but hey, it’s not exactly the 19th century, right? If time allows we’ll tumble into some of our usual segments like The Enviro Show Echo Chamber, the Quote of the Week, Fool-on-the-Hill and whatever, but first it’s time for…..Revenge of the Critters! Yellow sack spiders driving people crazy! Read more on The Real Ides of March Enviro Show, Tuesday 6:30pm…

Beware the Corporados Enviro Show, Tuesday, 3/1, 6:30pm

February 27th, 2011 Posted by Enviro Show

Greetings Earthlings. So, you think the epic labor struggle that began in Madison, Wisconsin is just another union vs. management story? Think again! Corporate America and far-right Repugnican operatives who serve them are literally plotting the final takeover of a country near you! We connect the dots on the show with the help of author and activists, Brian Tokar. Brian will also be speaking Sunday afternoon, March 6, 1pm at a fundraiser for Food for Thought Books in Amherst. Our intrepid roving correspondent and in-house troubadour, Tom Neilson will be on hand as well. More on that later. Those connnected dots will run through all of your favorite segments on The Enviro Show, but first it’s time for….Revenge of the Critters! Boris the badger kicks butt! O, and so do the Wisconsin Badgers!

The Shut it Down! Enviro Show, 3/30, 6:30pm

March 26th, 2010 Posted by Enviro Show

Greetings Earthlings. It’s just shy of April Fools…umm…Fission Fools Day? Also known as Fossil Fools Day (take your pick! choose both!!). Deb Katz of Citizens Awareness Network returns to The Enviro Show to update us on that God-awful leaky old nuke just over the border in Vermont (did we mention The Valley is just downwind & downstream from there?). Also, we finally get to that E-Valley-uation segment that got away from us last time, and we checkout The Enviro Show Echo Chamber for the news of the week. Did we say “week”? How about the Quote of the Week! We may even get to the Bus Stop Billboard, but first it’s time for…. Revenge of the Critters! Bird bombs Hadron Collider with Baguette!

Rock, Folk, Press Veteran’s Day Commeration Special

November 9th, 2009 Posted by Steve C.

The show will feature clips from Award Winning Producer/ Director Lexy Lovell’s new documentary “The Good Soldier” which tracks the progress of 3 Veteran’s returning home from three Wars: WWII, Vietnam and Gulf War One as they attempt to assimilate in to society. The excerpt was presented on Bill Moyer’s Journal this past Friday 11/6. It packs a powerful antiwar message. The film itself will be released to the general public Wed 11/11 Veterans’s day. Hear clips here first. Our show will also feature excerpts from a Bill Moyers editorial in which he challenges a Washington Post editorial of 10/30/09 that calls the US presence in Afhanistan a “neccesary war.”
Moyers calls for institution of a draft to make the military call up which Obama will inevitably announce soon more equitable.
Hear it here first on the Rock Folk, Press Issues Show Tues 11/10 – 2:00 -4:00 WXOJ-LP 103.3 Northampton,MA

Another Fuelish Enviro Show

June 6th, 2008 Posted by Enviro Show

Greetings Earthlings. Jean’s back! Hopefully she’ll have a report from the front lines. We return to the scene of the crime with another look at fossil fuels and what’s out there to replace them. Professor <a href=” http://umassmag.com/2008/Spring_2008/Prerequisite/biofuel.html”>George Huber</a>, researcher at UMass Amherst’s Chemical Engineering Department joins us in the studio for a look at biofuels that don’t eat up the crops. As always, we’ll checkout the Enviro Show Echo Chamber for the latest news on the environment, and we’ll see what Darth Cheney and the boy emperor are up to, as well as give you the quote of the week, but first it’s time for……Revenge of the Critters! <a href=” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOnfRt2zf14&feature=related”>Sheep attacks car!</a> OK fans, talk about a Dodge Ram.
