As a podcast host, I have had the profound honor of listening to and documenting the powerful stories of community members who have dedicated their lives to advocating for justice. Tina Cordova, the Co-Founder of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, is a tireless advocate who has brought attention to the long-ignored consequences of nuclear testing in New Mexico. Her work illuminates the untold experiences of multiple communities who, in the aftermath of the Trinity Bomb detonation and subsequent nuclear tests conducted in New Mexico between 1945 and 1962, were unknowingly exposed to radiation. This exposure, carried by the wind and lingering in the environment for generations, has inflicted devastating deaths and long-term health consequences on countless families. Despite the well-documented link between radiation exposure and life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, the communities most affected—those who have suffered immeasurable loss and continue to endure the painful repercussions—have yet to receive the full recognition and justice they deserve. Their stories remain largely absent from mainstream historical narratives, making it all the more crucial to amplify their voices and demand accountability. We want to honor all who have lost their lives and those who keep their stories alive. Gracias Tina Cordova and the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium. #Downwinders #JusticeForDownwinders #NuclearTestingImpact #RadiationExposure #TrinityTest #EnvironmentalJustice #HealthJustice #ForgottenVictims #TularosaBasin #RECAAmendment

Send us a textIn this episode of The Real Santa Fe podcast, host Bunny Terry sits down with Fred Nathan, the dynamic founder and executive director of Think New Mexico — a results-driven think tank dedicated to making life better for all New Mexicans.https://www.thinknewmexico.org/From bold education reform to improving access to healthcare, Fred shares the inspiring story behind his mission, his early days in policy work, and how Think New Mexico is tackling some of the state's biggest challenges. He even offers a behind-the-scenes look at working with leaders like Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham.If you're passionate about community, policy, and the future of New Mexico, this episode is a must-watch.

About a third of New Mexicans depend on medicaid to pay for health care. While our state legislature has signalled support by passing a bill to create a new medicaid trust fund, the United States congress is debating deep cuts to spending, including on medicaid. On the next Let's Talk New Mexico, how would federal cuts affect health care in our state?

Today's episode is all about post-fire—how to plan and prepare for post-fire challenges like debris flows and landslides, how to recover at a community and landscape scale, how to maintain a love of place after it's impacted by fire, and how we can reduce suffering in this often dynamic phase of wildfire response and recovery.Our guest on this topic is Collin Haffey, the Post Fire Recovery Program Manager for the Washington DNR, who prior to working with the DNR worked as the Forest and Watershed Health Coordinator for the New Mexico Forestry Division during the catastrophic 2022 Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon Fire. This fire burned over 340,000 acres in largely rural areas that were also, subsequently, impacted by intense debris flows and mudslides, spurred by monsoonal rain events only weeks after the fire burned through the area. These debris flows were in many cases more devastating to residents in these areas than the fires themselves—they destroyed wells and water systems, devastated roads and other infrastructure and destroyed hundreds of homes, including century-old adobe homes that had housed multiple generations of native New Mexicans. If you're interested in learning more about the HP-CC Fire, I highly recommend the in-depth reporting of Patrick Lohmann at Source NM. I also wrote about the post-fire impacts of the Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon, as well as potential policy solutions, for Land Lines Magazine back in 2023. For some background: post-fire concerns range from erosion and flooding events that can have major impacts on infrastructure and watersheds (and systems), but also includes the process of reforestation, erosion reduction and reducing the incursion and spread of invasive species in delicate post-fire landscapes. How communities prepare and plan for these challenges can make an immense difference in how quickly they recover, and Collin's work focuses heavily on encouraging communities to better prepare not just for wildfire, but for what comes after it. One of Collin's biggest projects at present is the After the Fire Washington website, where you can find tried-and-true recovery practices, resources for landowners, community members and community leaders, case studies and other information. Finally, if you'd like to read a bit more about Collin's experiences and insights gained from seeing the HP-CC Fire impacts first hand, check out this great blog post he wrote for the Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network: Stuck in the Mud: Gaps in Post-Fire Recovery Programs - Fire Adapted Communities Learning NetworkTimestamps: 00:00 - Episode Start 00:38 - Amanda Monthei Intro 06:54 - Start of conversation—Collin's background 08:17 - Gaps In post-fire conversation, preparedness and planning 09:57 - Lessons From Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire12:41 - Good examples of post-fire response 14:25 - Need someone to direct post-fire tasks16:14 - Is the only way to learn about recovery through experience? 16:52 - Suppression vs. recovery teams—a need for both18:39 - The importance of community recovery collaboratives 21:00 - Developing a CWPP 24:35 - Overthinking CWPP documents26:35 - Common post-Fire challenges 29:02 - Managing mental & emotional trauma (both community and practitioner) during the post-fire period33:12 - How community and resident relationships to the land change after wildfires32:33 - Fostering a love of place after (and despite) wildfire35:03 - Getting community involved in post-fire preparedness36:43 - Disconnect between FEMA & local organizations 38:36 - What does a community that is well-prepared for post fire challenges look like?

Senate Bill 5 [SB5], The Wildlife Heritage Act recently passed the NM State Legislature and was signed into law. SB5 provides a wholistic approach to updating the systems in place for wildlife management in New Mexico. This bill was supported by one of the largest and most diverse conservation coalitions ever to be assembled in the state. Each organization who worked tirelessly to help this necessary bill become law approached the goal from a unique perspective. The values, priorities and mission statements represented by the more than twenty groups who formed this united team are often quite different. One core belief shared universally by the coalition is that future generations of New Mexicans deserve to enjoy robust wildlife populations in the fourth most biodiverse state in the Nation. United by this truth, conservation leaders across New Mexico agreed to push our differences aside and focus on this common goal. The result was success. Jesse Deubel joins Judy Calman of Audubon Southwest, Matthew Monjaras of Impact Outdoors and John Rutter of The New Mexico Houndsmen Association in this discussion about the monumental improvements provided through SB5. While each of these organizations were motivated by different reasons, all supported SB5 and all were instrumental in the bill's success. In his book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," author Stephen Covey writes "Seek first to understand, then to be understood." By heeding that advice, a large conglomeration of interest groups in New Mexico has effectively transformed the future of wildlife management in the Land of Enchantment. This is a win for all people and a win for all wildlife. Enjoy the listen!  For more info: NMWF Website

Out in the New Mexican landscape three Spanish words were carved in store 442 years ago - “Pasó Por Aquí.”  Translation: “Passed this way.”  "Passed by here." Pasó Por Aquí.  You can breathe these words wherever you find yourself today. Because wherever your journey has taken you at this moment, Pasó Por Aquí is your testimony as well as mine.  It is the testimony of everyone who surrounds us.  We're just pilgrims passing through. Pasó Por Aquí.  Passed this way.  Passed by here.  It denotes the journey, not the destination.  The travel, not the arrival.  Pasó Por Aquí.  Bodies in motion walking across terra firma that never stops spinning.  Human satellites that seldom sit.  Pasó Por Aquí.  Even when standing still we're rotating at a 1000 miles per hour while speeding through space at 67,000 miles per hour.  Pasó Por Aquí.  You're not where you were when you started to read these words mere seconds ago.  Pasó Por Aquí.   Featuring "Pilgrim" by John Mark McMillan (Used by Permission through Musicbed).

On this week's interview Paul talks to Matthew Mitchell. Matt is Senior Fellow in the Centre for Human Freedom at the Canadian Fraser Institute (a free market think tank). But Matthew WAS with the Rio Grande Foundation many years ago. He is a native New Mexican living in Angel Fire. More importantly, he and Paul have co-authored a new report "Economic Freedom in the Land of Enchantment" which Paul considers the most important policy study the Foundation has ever undertaken. The report has loads of useful information but specifically finds that New Mexico is the ONLY state in the nation to lose economic freedom since 1981.

About 22,000 New Mexicans worked for the federal government last year. Many people are nervous about the ongoing reduction in the federal workforce, but how severely could our state be impacted?

I testified yesterday on a bill that would eliminate New Mexico's income tax. Here's what I said and here's what happened. Speaking of zero income tax states, IN & OUT burger chain moves to Tennessee from California.  PFML will finally be considered in its 2nd committee on Wednesday. Paul and Wally discuss what that means.  NM Democrats seem to have settled on a plan to raise alcohol taxes. SB 139 which would have eliminated MLG's EV mandate was defeated in its first committee on partisan lines. A "study" claims UNM athletics creates a big economic benefit for New Mexico. We appreciate collegiate sports but take the study with a big grain of salt. How's the NM "Portfolio" doing? We have an update. New Mexicans spend 6th most on groceries as a percent of income according to a new report.

Super Bowl: game wasn't so great, but great to see America celebrated and Trump cheered.  A bill relating to expanding Medicaid is moving through the session. This is madness!  Now MLG is the education reformer? This one is a doozie!  I went on KOAT 7 to discuss a crazy bill that would hand our tax dollars to UNM and NMSU to pay athletes.  HB 11 PFML remains bottled up in committee. Some lawmakers even blame us for "bullying." A bill to increase royalties (taxes paid on oil and gas) is moving through the Legislature. A recent op-ed running across New Mexico by our policy analyst Carter Swanson ran in the ABQ Journal last week.

It's been a week since the Legislature began. Paul has been to Santa Fe twice and discusses what is happening.  SB4 (net zero) is one of the craziest bills that will be moving this week. MLG gave her State of the State address. We have some thoughts. The Santa Fe New Mexican did a fact check of the address. RGF is part of a coalition working to defeat Paid Family Leave. Find out more here. Paul had an opinion piece in several media outlets on alcohol taxes and why raising them is unnecessary.  New Mexico has the lowest median pay in America: DC workers now make nearly two and a half times as much as the average New Mexico resident. ABQ bus ridership continues to slowly rebound post-COVID. Mayor Keller's latest scheme in downtown Albuquerque is particularly dumb. The WNMU situation keeps getting worse.

The February 2025 run has Flores out supporting his Mi Amigo Slow Joy EP, which was released June 7th, 2024 via Mick Music. Produced by Mike Sapone (Oso Oso, The Front Bottoms), the EP earned Slow Joy the “Best New Band” designation in the Dallas Observer's Annual “Best of Dallas” roundup and drew comparisons to The Pixies, Modest Mouse and Smashing Pumpkins.Slow Joy spent all of the fall on the road supporting Real Friends alongside Can't Swim and Carly Cosgrove on their Forever And Ever and Ever And Ever And Ever And Ever And Ever Tour. The two month long tour visited most every major city across the US and was Slow Joy's biggest trek to date. Mi Amigo Slow Joy follows 2023's Wildflower EP. The new EP was extremely well received, with FLOOD writing, “...the EP is a celebration of the past three decades of alternative rock music condensed into something more broadly appealing than any of Nevermind's non-single tracks.” The Chicago Reader described the Mi Amigo Slow Joy EP as “...melanges of grungy shoegaze.” And KXT 91.7 said the EP features “crunchy, alt-rock-inflected soundscapes [with] searching, vulnerable lyrics.” Flores' growth as a songwriter and musician can be heard throughout the four new tracks, an accomplishment he credits Sapone for helping him to achieve.Slow Joy is currently working with Sapone on his debut album, due in early 2025.

In this short episode, Geoff and Katrina talk ghost stories in Albuquerque. This year, the American Folklore Society conference was being held in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Katrina is still recovering her brain from working over time all week. So, to recuperate, she retells some ghosts stories from locations that she was able to go to while in town. Besides revisiting the classic La Llorona story that has a New Mexican flavor, she tells about ghosts holding grudging and preforming on stage.   

In our sixth and final episode of the Fire in the Southwest Series—sponsored by the Southwest Fire Science Consortium and the Arizona Wildfire Initiative—we explore the complex, multicultural fire histories and management dynamics in New Mexico, with State Forester and Tribal Liaison Lindsey Quam.New Mexico's recent relationship with fire has been fraught with distrust in the aftermath of the 2022 Calf Canyon Hermits Peak Fire, which started from an escaped prescribed fire and an escaped pile burn. Lindsey's career has been bookended by such events, having started his career in Los Alamos, NM in the aftermath of the 2000 Cerro Grande Fire, which also started as an escaped prescribed fire. This has allowed him to witness first hand how public trust has ebbed and flowed around the use of prescribed fire. It's also presented opportunities for him to help shape and better understand the many mixed emotions New Mexicans have around this topic.Lindsey spoke to how the intersecting cultures and management values across New Mexico—including Indigenous peoples, the Hispanic population and, well, white people—presents challenges but also opportunities in trying to extoll the merits of prescribed fire."There's no dispute amongst native New Mexicans who live off the land—there is a recognition that fire is important and necessary, but there's also a fear," Lindsey, who is himself a member of the Zuni Pueblo, said.Lindsey also shared how his agency is scaling up forest treatments through collaboration, and establishing priority landscapes to implement landscape-scale resilience projects.If you'd like to learn more about acequias, which are mentioned in this episode, I can't recommend Patrick Lohmann's reporting enough. He is a journalist with Source NM and did some stellar reporting on the impacts of the Calf Canyon Hermits Peak Fire on acequias and traditional (and often rural) communities in northern New Mexico.

Donald Trump is visiting New Mexico this Thursday, and let's just say… certain political leaders aren't exactly rolling out the welcome mat. From Mayor Keller pulling out a mysterious $500,000 “unpaid bill” he claims Trump owes, to Martin Heinrich suggesting that New Mexicans who attend the rally will resort to violence, we've got quite a show of political theater on our hands. Mark doesn't hold back as he calls out these so-called leaders and challenges them to set aside the politics and ensure Trump's visit happens safely and respectfully.But that's just the beginning! We're also taking a look at the presidential race as it hits the final stretch. Remember when Joe Biden called Trump supporters “garbage”? We discuss whether moments like that will impact the election or if there are bigger forces at play. And yes, we're giving our predictions on who's going to come out on top when the dust settles.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

When two pals from Boston, Massachusetts go for a hike in the New Mexican desert and only one makes it out alive, questions begin to swirl about what happened. Was it the elements that overtook one of the men or perhaps a much darker secret that forced his friend to turn into an enemy?View source material and photos for this episode at: parkpredators.com/the-samaritan Park Predators is an audiochuck production. Connect with us on social media:Instagram: @audiochuckTwitter: @audiochuckFacebook: /audiochuckllcTikTok: @audiochuck
