In Episode 25 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg protests that he has now been deprived of phone and Internet access by Verizon for more than two months, and discusses the greater social implications of this dilemma. Donald Trump, who is a fascist by any reasonable definition, has now shut down the federal government and is threatening to declare a national emergency in order to build his border wall. Not only has lack of other net access at this critical moment forced Weinberg to use a cell phone in order to have any effectiveness as a writer and activist, but cellular technology is itself inherently abetting the descent into fascism. Not only does it create a totalizing propaganda environment, but it is degrading our attention spans, literacy and critical thinking skills. It also creates a totalizing surveillance environment that can ultimately be exploited by government as well as private interests. But we accept it in the name of "convenience" and the illusions of consumer "choice," and few even recognize technological "progress" (note: propaganda word) as something that needs to be resisted. This emerging dystopia combines the worst aspects of George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World: we are complicit in the extinguishing of our own freedom because we have been conditioned. Weinberg calls for practical action to slow (at least) the totalizing aspect of this dystopia: keeping alive space for the print world and the meat world, and demanding that Verizon and other service providers maintain landline infrastructure.

The CBS Radio Workshop was a dramatic radio anthology series that aired on CBS from January 27, 1956, until September 22, 1957.Subtitled “radio’s distinguished series to man’s imagination,” it was a revival of the earlier Columbia Experimental Laboratory (1931), Columbia Experimental Dramatic Laboratory (1932) and Columbia Workshop broadcasts by CBS from 1936 to 1943, and used some of the same writers and directors employed on the earlier series'. The CBS Radio Workshop was one of the last attempts to hold on to some of the listeners they had lost to television in the post-World War Two era. The premiere broadcast was a two-part adaptation of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, which you will hear on this podcast, was introduced and narrated by Huxley. It took a unique approach to sound effects, as described in a Time(February 6, 1956) review that week

Holy Hell!! or something like that.....I've been somewhat absent via the Podcast for good reason....making some dinero's to pay for the boleros, brothers & sisters....we all must eat. Today's Podcast shall be titled "WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' PODCAST"...not so much as playing Mexican music but as a tip of the hat to Alfonso Bedoya who was trying to convince Fred C. Hobbs that he and his company were Federales....Alfonso was no actor but the mayor of the town that The Treasure of the Sierra Madre was being filmed in. Well we don't need no stinkin' radio station to bring you this Podcast....hear hear.Starting off in 45 rpm fashion with the Dusters on the ARC label from 1956 with "Sally Mae"....The Emperors from Harrisburg, Pa with "Karate" follows that sounding ALOT like Santana's "Everybody's Everything"...hmmmmm...George Harrison got sued for less...no? The Ugly Beats cover The Easybeats monster 45 "I'll Make You Happy", a promise that might be hard to keep. Finishing off the first set of music before grabbing the mic and stumbling through the forest known as diction is The Sven Hammond Soul with "Svoogaloo". The Magic Mushrooms from San Diego start off the second set with "I'm Gone" a 45 rpm on the Warner Brothers label from 1966....A classic 45 up next with Bubble Puppy's "Hot Smoke and Sassafrass"...Bubble Puppy got their name from Aldous Huxley's BRAVE NEW WORLD..it being a childrens game actually called "Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy" and the name of the song came from THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES when one of the members misquoted Jed Clampett. Leslie Gore follows the Puppy with "No Matter What You Do"....we love Leslie here in DRR land. The Royal Hangman provide the perfect bed for your host to belly up to the mic and have at it. Herman's Hermits follow yours truely with "Ace King, Queen, Jack" off their last proper release [and a fine LP] BLAZE [1967]. One of my favorite 45's gets yet another spin, "Fortune Teller" as done by Tony Jackson & the Vibrations...smoking guitar lead by Viberator Ian Buisel, you betcha!! Antobal's Cubans bring the Pod back to earth via a 78rpm on the Brunswick label from 1932, "The Moon Over Cuba Was High [and so was I]". Willy DeVille with a sinister version of The Chambers Brothers "Time Has Come Today" finishes off another dubious round of DRR...Coming back after a pause for the cause is The Chambers Brothers with "Funky" a great 45 rpm [also on the LP NEW GENERATION] Duane Eddy plugs in and tears it up with "Rampage".... The Ambassadors via Reel Records [1962] with "I Wonder Why"...smoking girl group rocker!....Dossie Terry with "Thunderbird" gets a spin just because we think it's one of the great ones......Enjoy the Podcast and we'll be back next week hoping we can "really shake 'em down" as the Contours once stated...stay smooth.

The CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental dramatic radio anthology series that aired on CBS from January 27, 1956, until September 22, 1957. Subtitled âradioâs distinguished series to manâs imagination,â it was a revival of the earlier Columbia Workshop, broadcast by CBS from 1936 to 1947, and it used some of the same writers and directors employed on the earlier series. The premiere broadcast was a two-part adaptation of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, introduced and narrated by Huxley. It took a unique approach to sound effects, as described in a review that week in Time (February 6, 1956): It took three radio sound men, a control-room engineer and five hours of hard work to create the sound that was heard for less than 30 seconds on the air. The sound consisted of a ticking metronome, tom-tom beats, bubbling water, air hose, cow moo, boing! (two types), oscillator, dripping water (two types) and three kinds of wine glasses clicking against each other. Judiciously blended and recorded on tape, the effect was still not quite right. Then the tape was played backward with a little echo added. That did it. The sound depicted the manufacturing of babies in the radio version of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Music for the series was composed by Jerry Goldsmith, Amerigo Moreno, Ray Noble and Leith Stevens. Other writers adapted to the series included Robert A. Heinlein, Sinclair Lewis, H. L. Mencken, Edgar Allan Poe, Frederik Pohl, James Thurber and Thomas Wolfe.
