Is it 1pm or 1am? Who's to say? We've been up for three days straight singing the praises and missteps of the late Val Kilmer's meth-fueled neo-noir cult-classic that nobody other than Chuck and Luc has seen. Is it pure glass that the world deserves to give a chance? Or is it stepped on crank that the studio rightfully tossed aside? Either way we need to get some sleep..

The discovery of a massive amount of lithium under the Salton Sea could make the U.S. lithium independent. The metal is key for batteries in electric vehicles and solar panels. But the area is also a delicate ecosystem. We go to southern California to hear what hangs in the balance of the ballooning lithium industry, and also how we extract other crucial substances – such as sand, copper and iron– and turn them into semiconductors, circuitry and other products upon which the modern world depends. Guests: Ed Conway – economics and data editor of Sky News and columnist for the Times in London. He's the author of “Material World, The Six Raw Materials that Shape Modern Civilization“. Frank Ruiz – Audubon California Salton Sea Program Director. Michael McKibben – Geologist, University of California, Riverside.

Three incredible artistic talents came together at the beginning of the millennium to create an astounding work of art: Tom Cruise, John Woo, and Limp Bizkit... together they produced MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2 and we thank them every goddamn day of our lives.We're back to discuss M: I 2 with connoisseur of early 2000s cinema/vibes Katherine Vienneau. We've got the Chimera Virus, we've got Thandiwe Newton, we've got Dougray Scott oh my god we've got Dougray Scott.

On April 1, 2025, Val Edward Kilmer, a legend of the silver screen, passed away at age 65. We honor his life the only way we know how: talking about the fake band roles in his illustrious career, from Top Secret! to Song to Song, via SNL, The Salton Sea, and Ghost Ghirls.
Val Kilmer was one of the most eclectic and enthralling actors of his generation and one of the movies that heavily showcased this is this week's movie, “The Salton Sea.” Kilmer showed he could be wacky, like in “Top Secret!” and “Real Genius” or deadly serious like in “Spartan” and “The Doors.” In “The Salton Sea” he sort of combines those two and it makes for an entertaining and captivating performance. If you want a movie that leads you down one path, en route to setting an expectation, just to subvert it, and does it multiple times, “The Salton Sea” just might be for you. Kilmer plays Danny Parker, a trumpet player, who has a faithful marriage to a beautiful wife until that all comes to an end. Afterwards, his life becomes a drug-filled downward spiral as he joins the perpetual night party of the tweaker to cope, or is that why he's really doing it? We don't know. He's also a confidential informant for a couple of L.A. detectives who want him to set up a maniacally, murderous drug dealer named Pooh Bear. This is a drug dealer known for killing people suddenly just because he doesn't like the tone of their voice. Also, Danny is told that he's been marked for death for something he didn't do, so things went from beautiful and romantic to pitiful and manic really quick. Is Danny Parker for real, or is he someone else? Will he survive the vortex of violence he finds himself in? Is it worth finding out in this lesser known Val Kilmer movie? Check out my spoiler-free review on this episode to find out! “The Salton Sea” also stars Vincent D'Onofrio, Adam Goldberg, Luiz Guzman, Doug Hutchison, Anthony LaPaglia, Glenn Plummer, Peter Sarsgaard, Deborah Kara Unger, Chandra West, BD Wong, R. Lee Ermey, Shalom Harlow, Sherry Knight, Meat Loaf, Azura Skye, Josh Todd and Danny Trejo.

In honor of the legendary Val Kilmer, who has passed away at the age of 65, we're sharing The B-Side's episode from 2022 discussing his career and most overlooked films. Subscribe to The B-Side: https://pod.link/520164968 See the original description below: Today, we discuss one of the most intriguing actors of his generation: Val Kilmer! To tackle such an enigma, we bring in the legendary Katie Walsh! A must-follow on Twitter, a co-host of the insatiably-entertaining Miami Nice Podcast, and an accomplished writer. The B-Sides featured today are: Kill Me Again, At First Sight, The Salton Sea, and Mindhunters. We discuss how Kilmer was a prodigy––the youngest student admitted into Juilliard's drama department––before his Broadway debut in the (ultimately) star-studded Slab Boys. There's talk of his well-documented penchant to be difficult on set, as well as those who defended him and his abilities. We confront Dan's deep admiration for the poorly-aged The Salton Sea, make brief mention of other B-Sides like Thunderheart, The Real McCoy, and Spartan, and reference both Kilmer's autobiography I'm Your Huckleberry and the 2021 documentary Val. Finally, we acknowledge that perhaps Val Kilmer was ultimately a movie star that never really wanted to be a movie star.
On the first part of the show, Nick Papagni, "The AgMeter" discuss the impact of tariffs on the shipping industry with Jeff Cox from Best Drayage Ocean Shipping. Cox explains that his company specializes in moving containers in and out of ports, particularly in Oakland and Long Beach. He highlights the challenges posed by tariffs, including potential spikes in import volumes and increased costs, which could affect freight demand. Cox also notes the significant difference in costs between U.S.-built ships and foreign-built ships, with U.S. ships costing up to eight times more. The conversation touches on the broader implications of tariffs and the Trump administration's efforts to level the playing field in international trade. The Ag Net News Hour Hosts, Lorrie Boyer and Nick "The AgMeter" discuss the rise of female farmers in the U.S., citing a USDA survey analyzed by Trace One. The survey revealed that 36.3% of U.S. farmers are women, managing 407 million acres and contributing $222 billion in ag sales. Arizona leads with 47.9% female farm operators, while Illinois is at the bottom. The conversation also highlighted the impact of new technologies and changing societal norms on the agricultural industry, emphasizing the growing influence of women in farm management and leadership roles. The discussion concluded with a mention of the top five states with the highest percentage of female farm operators. In line with recent discussions on the show about new technology and electric vehicles, Nick and Lorrie talk about the discovery of 18 million tons of lithium in California's Salton Sea, valued at $540 billion, which could power batteries for 382 million electric vehicles. The lithium is extracted using geothermal production wells. The conversation also touched on the outdated 2018 Farm Bill and the impact of fluctuating commodity prices on farmers. Doug Yoder, a crop insurance agency manager, highlighted the increased interest in eco-enhanced coverage options and the American Relief Act's economic assistance program, which offers payments per acre for corn, soybeans, and wheat, with initial payments capped at 85% of the stated rates.

In this episode of the AgNet News Hour, hosts Lorrie Boyer and Nick Papagni discussed the raisin industry with Caleb Barcarian, dubbed "Mr. Raisin." Barcarian shared his 56-year career, noting the industry's decline from 280,000 acres to 90,000 acres due to high land costs and shifts to almonds and pistachios. He predicted five major processors remaining, with 200 growers. Turkey is the top raisin producer, followed by Iran and China. Barcarian highlighted the industry's consolidation and the need for vertical integration. He also mentioned the raisin industry's shift from traditional drying methods to more efficient, automated systems. The segment concluded with a discussion on the raisin industry's future and its efforts to innovate and stay competitive. This segment features an interview brought to you by the Almond Board of California. The segment discussed the impact of recent storms on California almond orchards, highlighting various types of damage, such as wind, rain, hail, and frost. Michael Roots emphasized the importance of growers reporting damage to their local Ag Commissioner within 30 days for potential disaster relief funds. Despite growers being vigilant about crop insurance, they often overlook reporting to the Ag Commissioner. The conversation also touched on the broader implications of tariffs on US exports, particularly almonds, and the strategy behind current economic policies. The segment concluded with optimism about the almond crop and a brief mention of geopolitical developments involving Ukraine. The discussion on Ag Net News Hour covered the introduction of Accu-Label, a biodegradable paper label for produce, highlighting sustainability. The label used by Windset Farms features a ladybug, symbolizing sustainable growing. The segment then shifted to the Salton Sea's accelerated shoreline retreat due to water management changes, posing health risks from polluted dust. Between 2002 and 2017, the retreat rate increased from 12.5 to 38.5 meters annually. By 2030, the north shore could recede by 150 meters, and by 2041, by 172 meters. The conversation also touched on the potential use of drones in agriculture for security and monitoring.

‘Buzzkill' Examines the Crisis of Disappearing Honeybees and Other Pollinators The Central Valley's almond industry is hosting what some beekeepers call the Super Bowl. Commercial beekeepers from across the country take an estimated 90% of the nation's honeybees and load them into trucks in time to make a narrow pollination window for those Central Valley almond trees. But it's gotten harder and harder to keep those bees alive. All over the world, bees, butterflies, moths and flies are disappearing. Sasha Khokha sat down with Teresa Cotsirilos, host of Buzzkill, a new podcast that investigates the pollinator crisis. California Composers: Meet Lulu, Ambient Bird Composers Lulu and Wendy Reid make music in collaboration with the natural world.

The Amateur Photographers Documenting Life In the Imperial Valley Juan Rodelo has spent decades as firefighter and turned to photography to help deal with stress and exhaustion. He appreciated the beautiful landscapes of the Imperial Valley but felt like there he didn't see those images enough. So in 2024, he started a Facebook group called Imperial Valley Photography to find others documenting the area. The group gained 15,000 followers in less than a year. As part of KPBS's ongoing series on volunteers, reporter Kori Suzuki caught up with Juan on an evening visit to the Salton Sea. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
A menagerie of Badlands Media hosts assemble for a no-holds-barred Friday night in The Liberty Den, tackling Trump's latest lawfare wins, the FBI's existential crisis, and the Deep State's ongoing meltdown. With Kash Patel now running the FBI, the Swamp's in full panic mode and Schiff is sweating, McConnell is retreating, and CPAC is banning J6ers like it's a country club. Meanwhile, Trump's legal team is dunking on the establishment, with courts giving the green light to mass federal firings and a full-blown crackdown on NGO money laundering. Of course, it wouldn't be The Liberty Den without some wild side quests...we're talking ancient civilizations, deep-state grifters, and the tragic downfall of the once-glorious Salton Sea. Oh, and the Subaru slander continues (because tradition).
Matt Crawford speaks with journalist and author Mike Colias about his book, Inevitable: Inside the Messy, Unstoppable Transition to Electric Vehicles. The question is no longer if electric vehicles will happen, or even when they'll happen, but how. Veteran automotive reporter Mike Colias takes you inside the transformation in this thoroughly reported profile of the hard pivot in the car business, a $2 trillion industry undergoing the biggest change in its 120-year history—a change that is already sending ripples across the entire global economy. Colias documents the inevitable shift from pistons to electrons from every angle, taking you inside the boardrooms where executives battle over their EV strategies to take on Tesla and, more recently, emerging Chinese powerhouses such as BYD. He brings you to family-run car dealerships deciding if they'll sell EVs—or sell their businesses. He follows entrepreneurs along lonely stretches of road that will soon need charging stations. He talks to power-train engineers whose skills were once the beating heart of the automotive industry but who now find themselves being replaced by coders. This is an epic exploration that stretches from Detroit to Japan to Germany to China, and from factories in Normal, Illinois, and Haywood County, Tennessee, to a burgeoning mining operation along the shores of California's briny, lithium-rich Salton Sea. Inevitable is a deeply enjoyable and smart book that uses masterful storytelling to capture the expanse and dynamism of the transition to electric vehicles in profound detail, bringing to life its seismic effects on everything and everyone.

Episode Notes Linda Watanabe McFerrin, one of the editors and authors of an illuminating book of essays called "Wandering in American Deserts: Discovery, Visions, Redemption" was our guest and discussed the Salton Sea, Death Valley and Grand Escalante.
California's Salton Sea region is home to some of the worst environmental health conditions in the country. Recently, however, it has also become ground zero in the new “lithium gold rush”—the race to power the rapidly expanding electric vehicle and renewable energy storage market. The immense quantities of lithium lurking beneath the surface have led to predictions that the region could provide a third of global demand. But who will benefit from the development of this precious resource? Join us as Chris Benner and Manuel Pastor, authors of the new book Charging Forward, show that the questions raised by Lithium Valley lie at the heart of the “green transition.” They weave together movement politics, federal policy, and autoworker struggles, stressing that getting the lithium out from under the earth is just a first step: the real question is whether the region and the nation will get out from under what they say has been the environmental degradation, labor exploitation, and racial injustice that have been as much a part of the landscape as the Salton Sea itself. What happens in Lithium Valley, the authors argue, will not stay there. This tiny patch of California is a microcosm of the broad climate challenges we face; Benner and Pastor argue that understanding Lithium Valley today is the key to grasping the future of our economy and our planet. About the Speakers Chris Benner is the director of the Institute for Social Transformation and the Everett Program for Technology and Social Change at UC Santa Cruz, where he is also the Dorothy E. Everett Chair in Global Information and Social Entrepreneurship and a professor of environmental studies and sociology. He has co-authored five books with Manuel Pastor, including Equity, Growth, and Community: What the Nation Can Learn From America's Metro Areas and Solidarity Economics: Why Mutuality and Movements Matter. He lives in Santa Cruz, California.

A clarion call for justice in the quest for clean energy California's Salton Sea region is home to some of the worst environmental health conditions in the country. Recently, however, it has also become ground zero in the new “lithium gold rush”—the race to power the rapidly expanding electric vehicle and renewable energy storage market. The immense quantities of lithium lurking beneath the surface have led to predictions that the region could provide a third of global demand. But who will benefit from the development of this precious resource? A work of stunning analysis and reporting, Charging Forward: Lithium Valley, Electric Vehicles, and a Just Future (The New Press, 2024) shows that the questions raised by Lithium Valley lie at the heart of the “green transition.” Weaving together movement politics, federal policy, and autoworker struggles, noted experts Chris Benner and Manuel Pastor stress that getting the lithium out from under the earth is just a first step: the real question is whether the region and the nation will get out from under the environmental degradation, labor exploitation, and racial injustice that have been as much a part of the landscape as the Salton Sea itself. What happens in Lithium Valley, the authors argue, will not stay there. This tiny patch of California is a microcosm of the broad climate challenges we face; understanding Lithium Valley today is the key to grasping the future of our economy and our planet.

Residents around the Salton Sea have been plagued by persistent foul odors emanating from the lake, along with increased incidences of asthma and other respiratory illnesses. In fact, a soon to be released study by UC Riverside shows that the Salton Sea's rotting odors have become a yearlong nuisance for people living near the lake. As the Salton Sea continues to shrink and expose more toxic dust, the health risks only grow. Amid these challenges, some see a glimmer of hope in the region's lithium deposits. Proponents argue that harnessing this valuable resource could not only spur economic development but also fund efforts to revitalize and restore the lake. What does the future hold for the Salton Sea? Here to discuss is Timothy Krantz, professor emeritus of the environmental studies program and program manager of the Salton Sea Database at the University of Redlands.

In most California counties, the sheriff also oversees the coroner's office. But in Riverside County, families whose loved ones have died in local jails say that's a conflict of interest — and they want to change the system.

Located in southern Riverside and northern Imperial counties, the Salton Sea is California's largest lake. Although large seas have cyclically formed and dried over historic time due to natural flooding from the Colorado River, the current sea formed as the result of an accident during canal construction. And, ever since that moment, humans have been trying to figure out what to do next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
