On this segment of The Steve Gruber Show, Scot talks with Dr. Richard Kradin, Harvard Medical School Professor Emeritus and author of A Godless Crusade: The Progressive Campaign to Rid the World of Religion. They explore how “woke” activism has moved beyond politics into ideology that undermines faith, tradition, and societal norms. Dr. Kradin argues that much of modern progressive extremism can be viewed through a psychological lens, examining the mental health aspects of radical activism and its effects on communities. Kradin discusses why defending religious freedom and traditional values is more urgent than ever in today's culture.

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Dr. Sahar Khamis about the complex and evolving role of digital and social media, particularly within the Arab and Muslim world. They explore the concept of social media as a "double-edged sword," discussing its initial promise as a tool for liberation during events like the Arab Spring and its subsequent co-opting by authoritarian regimes for repression and control. Dr. Khamis traces the shift in online activism from early blogs to modern platforms like TikTok and Instagram, which, despite their entertainment focus, have become significant sites for political mobilization on issues ranging from feminism in Iran to combating Islamophobia. The conversation also addresses the rise of influencers who may lack expertise, the creation of ideological echo chambers that stifle dialogue, the challenges of transnational activism from the diaspora, and the critical importance of media literacy in navigating a landscape rife with misinformation and disinformation. Dr. Sahar Khamis is an associate professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Maryland, College Park, recognized as an expert on Arab and Muslim media, an ethnographer, Islamic feminist, peace and interfaith activist, and an accomplished media commentator and analyst. Her experience includes serving as the Head of the Mass Communication and Information Science Department at Qatar University (2005–2006), Mellon Islamic Studies Initiative Visiting Professor at the University of Chicago (2014), and Professor of Communication at the American University in Cairo (1990–2004). Since 2014, she has been an associate professor at the University of Maryland. She is the co-author of the books: Islam Dot Com: Contemporary Islamic Discourses in Cyberspace (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009) and Egyptian Revolution 2.0: Political Blogging, Civic Engagement and Citizen Journalism (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013). She is the co-editor of the book Arab Women's Activism and Socio-Political Transformation: Unfinished Gendered Revolutions (Palgrave Macmillan 2018). Additionally, she authored and co-authored numerous book chapters, journal articles and conference papers, regionally and internationally, in both English and Arabic. She is the recipient of a number of prestigious academic and professional awards, as well as a member of the editorial boards of several journals in the field of communication, in general, and the field of Arab and Muslim media, in particular.

To many animal activists (especially activists of color), veganism isn't just a diet to help nonhuman animals; it's a collective liberation movement, part of a systemic approach to seeking justice for all beings and decolonizing our food system. Yvette Baker shares her philosophies on this and more, as the lead author of the innovative and in-depth 68-page Animal Activism Starter Guide for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), available for free download from APEX Advocacy -- a nonprofit advocacy group started by friend-of-the-show Christopher 'Soul' Eubanks here in Atlanta, that is building a community of BIPOC animal rights advocates by empowering their activism and providing them professional development. In this 44-minute "In Tune to Nature" interview from Sept 2025, host Carrie Freeman talks with Yvette Baker (L.A. activist and APEX's Director of Activism and Community Impact) about: the value of having an animal activism starter guide centering on BIPOC activists and their perspectives; creating solidarity between animal activism and social justice causes as many compassionate BIPOC activists have done historically; why she uses the terms "nonhuman animal" and "other animals" to push back on dehumanizing, racist, and colonial lies separating humans from all other animals; the six main reasons activists of color should get involved in animal activism; spotlighting Julia Magnus, of the Open Sanctuary Project and micro-animal-sanctuary in Chicago ; and the importance of building BIPOC activist communities beyond white vegan led spaces, which can often be alienating and less connected with broader justice causes. And, as a white animal activist and vegan, Carrie points out the value she found in reading and learning from this BIPOC guide. The guide took a year for Yvette and her team to produce, so our radio show can't fully cover all the many sections and wisdom it provides (including legal protection for activists of color; self care; indigenous roots of plant-based eating, and systemic activism strategies), so it's totally worth checking out online and discussing with friends. https://www.apexadvocacy.org/starterguide  Consider also supporting or joining APEX Advocacy, as BIPOC-led nonprofits receive just 4% of funding of white-led organizations, and this financial inequity needs to change so the world can change.  "In Tune to Nature" is a weekly hour-long radio show airing Wednesdays at 6pm Eastern Time on 89.3FM-Atlanta radio and streaming worldwide on wrfg.org (Radio Free Georgia, a nonprofit indie station) hosted by me, Carrie Freeman, or Melody Paris. The show's website and my contact info can be found at https://wrfg.org/intunetonature/  While there, consider donating to Radio Free Georgia, a 50+ year old progressive, non-commercial, indie radio station, run largely by volunteers like me. Take care of yourself and others, including other animals because we are all connected. Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed on In Tune to Nature do not necessarily reflect those of WRFG, its board, staff or volunteers.

Dear Humans, I was recently joined by Emmy-winning actress Nancy Lee Grahn (who you may know from General Hospital, and Santa Barbara) for an unfiltered conversation about career, politics, and democracy. We had a great time discussing how she balanced motherhood with a demanding acting career—and never missed a parent-teacher conference. She also opened up about her outspoken political voice on social media and the risks of speaking truth to power in Hollywood. Plus, Nancy and I dug into the danger of apathy in politics—and why voting matters more than ever. It's always heartwarming to talk with someone who cares as much as I do! Nancy shares why she believes every person—famous or not—has a responsibility to speak up, so please enjoy this new episode of The God Pod! Love, God

Renowned actor, writer and director Liev Schreiber recently released “Meeting Zelenskyy”, a feature documentary in which he sits down with Ukraine's embattled leader. In an extended conversation, Schreiber speaks actor-to-actor about Volodymyr Zelenskyy's rise from entertainer to war time leader. In this exclusive interview with Laura Flanders, Schreiber discusses how the documentary came to be, how he personally became involved, and how technology could shape the outcome of the Russia-Ukraine war. The film includes never-before-seen footage from Zelenskyy's childhood and career. Join us for this historic conversation, plus a commentary from Laura.“I've always felt optimistic about this because [Ukraine is] on the side of truth. That's the kind of thing you can cover briefly, but it always comes out, it always surfaces. It's also the kind of thing that builds morale. It builds courage. It builds principle. They have that on their side, where the Russian military is struggling.” - Liev Schreiber“This was never about Ukraine for me. This was always about American values and democracy and what it is, where it comes from and what it means. I don't think those values and those principles are on display anywhere more clearly than in Ukraine.” - Liev Schreiber“I've always felt optimistic about this because [Ukraine is] on the side of truth.

Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses various pressing issues surrounding gun rights, personal safety, and the ongoing crisis of gun violence in Chicago.
