Equal parts cultural critique and (r)evolutionary handbook, The Language of Betterarchy offers tangible tools to unify the populace and evolve our culture for the “better” with our every word.After dismantling the myth of patriarchy as prime cultural perpetrator, Katz pinpoints hierarchy as the nexus of distortion doing the collective body bad. She goes on to offer simple, yet profound communication upgrades that empower, uplift, equalize and inspire, while evolving our culture into a “betterarchical” structure that serves the greatest good of all.A sweet, sassy and subversive read, The Language of Betterarchy challenges the erroneous fictions propping up victim culture and identity politics, as well as the gender divide and the so-called “return of the divine feminine.” A must-read for the visionary change-makers who came here to transform the world for the infinitely more wonderful. Dani Katz, author of The Language of Betterarchy: A Blueprint for Uniting against Tyranny, established her reputation as one of Los Angeles' edgiest literary talents by way of her bold voice, her expanded perspective and her mastery of language. As a visionary consciousness explorer drawn to the outermost edges of ALL of it, Katz writes raw, deep, illuminating and hilarious about sex, consciousness, wellness, metaphysics, and new paradigm culture, having published – to date - hundreds of articles in LA Weekly, Los Angeles Times, Vice, Teen Vogue, LA Yoga, Santa Fe Reporter, Reality Sandwich, et al.In addition to her broad spectrum of practical experience and formal studies, including a Master's Degree in Journalism, Katz has spent the past several years immersed in the study of Quantum Languaging and conscious communication, researching and perfecting the myriad ways, whys and hows that language influences our every human experience.Known as well for her adorable line drawings as she is her wily wordplay, Katz debuted her first graphic book, Yes, I Am, in November of 2016.Support the Show."Wherever you find yourself is exactly and precisely where God wills you to be" Support our show at the following: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2063276/support Follow us on X: @CFC30290 Follow us on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-3123766 Website: https://clarityfromchaospodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Thanks for listening to Clarity from Chaos

New Mexico in Focus Senior Producer Lou DiVizio kicks off the show with an update on several key pieces of legislation moving through the Roundhouse. That includes the $9.6B budget package passed by the state Senate Sunday. HB 2 would increase spending by nearly 14%, which works out to more than $1B. The Governor held a press conference in her office Tuesday morning to announce a bipartisan agreement on emergency legislation revising New Mexico's medical malpractice law. According to reporting from the Albuquerque Journal's Dan McKay, SB 523 would make sure independently owned outpatient clinics can remain open next year. New Mexico in Focus Political Correspondent Gwyneth Doland speaks with three people in the Roundhouse about HB 547, the omnibus tax bill that would address a wide range of items, including the Gross Receipts Tax and individual tax reimbursements of $500. Then, Gene Grant talks to independent Journalist Ted Alcorn about the miniscule increase in alcohol taxes included in that tax plan. Gene also asks about the now-tabled HB 230, which would have increased taxes on alcohol by a much more substantial amount. Finally, Gene speaks with the Santa Fe Reporter's Andrew Oxford, who's been covering the recent developments around a rebuild plan for the Santa Fe Obelisk.

Tribal communities are entitled to federally funded healthcare under treaties signed with the U.S. government. And yet, Native Americans often struggle to access  quality healthcare, creating health disparities that take a tremendous toll on their lives . In this episode, research scientist Dr. Emily Haozous explains what those health disparities have looked like over the past few decades, where they stand now, and what needs to be done to better meet the health needs of tribal communities.   For more of Emily Haozous's work: Read her SSN brief on this topic: Challenges on the Horizon for Native American Sovereignty and Healthcare   Learn about some of her past research on the health needs of the Native population in Santa Fe, in The Santa Fe Reporter.

Early and absentee voting is just days away for many New Mexicans, including in Albuquerque, where voters will be picking a mayor. This week, New Mexico in Focus livestreamed the New Mexico Black Voters Collaborative Candidate Forum with incumbent Tim Keller and challengers Manny Gonzales and Eddy Aragon. The Line opinion panelists break down the race so far, and offer predictions about whether or not the campaign to lead New Mexico's largest city is headed to a run-off election. With Balloon Fiesta just around the corner, this is the time of year when eyes are drawn upward to our beautiful fall skies. But, the safety and oversight of the ballooning community is also drawing plenty of attention as a National Transportation Safety Board investigation continues into a deadly crash last summer. Senior Producer Matt Grubs talks with the founder of a local balloon tour company, Rainbow Ryders, about what changes he'd like to see and why some companies choose to monitor their pilots more closely than the industry requires. Correspondent Russell Contreras (also the race and justice reporter for Axios) speaks with recent “Genius Grant” winner, MacArthur Fellow Monica Muñoz Martinez. The educator and public historian was awarded the prestigious fellowship earlier this week for her work to address racial injustice, particularly anti-Mexican violence in border territories. The pair talks about the common threads between 19th, 20th and 21st century incidents and how the past informs the way America views power.

New Mexico is aflutter with news of the first fully crewed Virgin Galactic flight from Spaceport America. Sir Richard Branson's high-profile jaunt into weightlessness on July 11 drew massive attention to the purpose-built New Mexico facility. Will it soon also bring money? The Line opinion panel looks at successes and challenges as the state seeks to leverage the Virgin Galactic spotlight. Although the Republican gubernatorial primary is a long way off - and the challenge to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham even further away – the pool of GOP hopefuls is growing. The Line opinion panel explores Rebecca Dow's entry into the Republican race for governor. Dow has been seen by some political minds as a frontrunner. The group debates what that means this early in the race. The Line opinion panel looks at the impact of tough-on-crime policy decisions for the state court system. Public defenders from southern New Mexico's 12thJudicial District say they can't prepare an effective defense for each of the nearly 300 felony cases scheduled for trial over an upcoming four-week period. Do policymakers need to rethink what it means to be “tough on crime”?

Dani Katz established her reputation as one of Los Angeles' edgiest literary talents by way of her bold voice, her expanded perspective and her mastery of language, having published hundreds of articles in the LA Weekly, Los Angeles Times, Vice, Teen Vogue, Whole Life Times, LA Yoga, Reality Sandwich, The Numinous and Santa Fe Reporter, among many others. Katz most recently put her journalism skills to work as a lead writer/researcher on Plandemic: Indoctornation. Her broad spectrum of practical experience and formal studies (including a master's degree in journalism), combined with a pronounced passion for the metaphysical, inspired Katz's ever-deepening fascination with the energetic frequencies of words. Devoted to understanding how language programs the subconscious mind, and creates the world as we know it, Katz's impassioned investigations lead her to develop Quantum Languaging – a method of deconstructing and perfecting the myriad ways, whys and hows words shape our every human experience. She is the author of Word Up: Little Languaging Hacks for Big Change – a timely collection of simple communication tweaks and tools with massive evolutionary implications. As a ghostwriter, Katz penned Spirit Hacking: Shamanic Keys to Reclaim Your Personal Power, Transform Yourself and Light Up the World, as well as the forthcoming Alchemy Elementals deck for Shaman Durek. Katz works as a transformational coach and Quantum Languaging consultant, supporting visionary leaders, creatives and change agents in empowering themselves, actualizing their potential, optimizing their offerings and evolving the world for the infinitely more wonderful.

A former Air Force pilot turned (possibly shady) art dealer thinks he's on his way to the grave in the late 80s and comes up with an idea. He's going to use his amassed wealth to put together a modern day treasure chest and go die next to it in the Rocky Mountains. The flaw in his plan? He didn't die. That man was Forest Fenn and he eventually decided in 2010 to hide the treasure anyway (without his body) and tell the world to go find it; winner take all. And with that the hunt was on. Over the course of the next decade hundreds of thousands of people searched high and low for this infamous box. Some even lost their lives in the pursuit. But was this treasure really out there? If so, were the clues really under everyone's noses in a poem Fenn had written? And perhaps most importantly, could John and Brent be any worse at poetry recital? We answer those questions and more this week as we go in search of Fenn's Treasure. Plus, Conspiracy Bot plugs yet another "Uncle Conspiracy Bot’s Fun Time Toy" (sigh), Kyle gets a change of scenery (and circuitry), and the studio gets a redecoration (not in a good way). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never found a buried treasure, but we did once stumble upon two tickets to paradise - Hysteria 51.

A busy weekend in the Roundhouse, capped off by yes votes for Medical Aid in Dying and Mandatory Paid Sick Leave measures. But, the big news of the weekend was the lack of action on cannabis legalization, as both of the remaining bills did not come up for discussion in the Senate Judiciary Committee. One of those bills was actually pulled from consideration just minutes before the meeting. And, of course, all of the proposed measures are up against the clock, with time set to run out on this year's session at noon on Saturday. We'll be back with more updates tomorrow, and as always, let us know what issues you are tracking in this busy 60-day session. ***** No More Normal is brought to you by Your New Mexico Government, a collaboration between KUNM, New Mexico PBS , and the Santa Fe Reporter . Funding for our coverage comes from the Kellogg Foundation and KUNM listeners like you, with support for public media provided by the Thornburg Foundation.

A couple of lifetimes ago, before masks, endless Zoom meetings and takeout only, we had big plans for the fourth season of Reported, the Santa Fe Reporter’s podcast.  Each week, we were going to explore a piece of state history through the lens of a New Mexico governor.  But like nearly all other things good and decent that existed before 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic drove a stake through the heart of our grand idea. So, we scrapped the season on the governors. We did, however, manage to produce two episodes from that blown up season and we think this is a perfect time to dust off these two nearly lost pieces and let you give them a listen. After all, they’re all about state government and the philosophies that drive it. In case you didn’t know, our current state government has just embarked on the fifty-fifth Legislature amid unprecedented circumstances: no galleries, no busy hallways, threats of violence and more.  Katherine Lewin, the host and producer of Reported, interviews SFCC Professor Steve Martinez, who walks us through the origins of some of New Mexico’s mainstays—our state constitution, the beginnings of the Legislature and, of course, the feud with Texas—as well as the bright and dark spots of this time period before we became a state—slavery, voter suppression, American exceptionalism and the ongoing genocide of Native people.  It’s not actually the beginning, but we picked this point in time in the middle 1800s when New Mexico became an official territory of the United States as a place to start. 

Santa Fe has been described as a tale of two cities: the one in the north and the east, and the one in the south. The Southside, with a capital “S”, which is also my beat here at the Santa Fe Reporter, is the most densely populated in general, and also has the most young families and middle to low-income households, including immigrants and nonwhite people.  It’s also home to the city’s sewage treatment plant, several asphalt and gravel companies, and the airport, just to name a few of the polluting industries down here.  But one company, in particular its application for an updated air quality permit with the New Mexico Environment Department, has sparked a fight that started in late 2019 and has carried over into the latter part of 2020. That company is Associated Asphalt. It makes asphalt for roads and highways across the state, often in contracts with state and local governments.  Back in March, just after the first pandemic lockdown started, I wrote about the fight between Southside neighbors and the company. Associated Asphalt wants to consolidate its operations, which are currently in two spots, into one of those locations on the west side of Highway 599. It also wants to be able to operate 24/7.  So here we are, eight months later, and the permit is still in limbo, except now the Southside residents worried about the plant have two lawyers, Maslyn Locke and Eric Jantz from the New Mexico Environmental Law Centerand an air quality expert, Mike Schneider, on their side.  I interviewed Maslyn and Eric for this story. Excuse some of the background noise—working from home and outside of a studio means you can hear a bit of me typing notes and my dog obnoxiously chewing a bone.

This week on Reported we’re highlighting the life of a New Mexican who, despite living on multiple front lines of the pandemic as a healthcare worker, a student, and a mother, has managed to both further her career and her education.  Stephanie Solis is just 20 years old with a four-year-old son, Aiden. She’s stepping toward her goal of becoming a nurse, while working as a home health aide. She lives with her mom and younger brother, who is 15—the same age she was at Capital High School when she got pregnant.  But Stephanie still graduated and started her secondary education and career, with the help of Lauren Whitehurst and the Mother Tongue Project.  Normally every year the Santa Fe Reporter publishes multiple essays from the Mother Tongue Project, an organization that creates and supports academic literacy skills specifically for young parents, mostly girls. The essays are written by teenaged mothers from Capital High School, and Stephanie was one of those writers before she graduated in 2018.  But this year, because of the pandemic, only one of those essays will be published on our website, and the author didn’t want to be recorded. But we still wanted to highlight a New Mexican who’s living many of the struggles hundreds of thousands of people across the state are struggling with right now: the possibility of getting sick, little help from the government, no childcare and financial problems.  So in episode two of Reported, the Santa Fe Reporter’s podcast, we’re catching up with Stephanie two years after graduation and the publication of her Mother Tongue essay, to see how far she has come and what life is like for a young woman who isn’t even old enough to drink and yet is on multiple frontlines in the pandemic. I spoke with Stephanie over the phone while she was at home one evening, so you will definitely hear her son Aiden in the background. Music: Lone Pinon

The Soldiers Monument, a 150-year-old anchor of the Santa Fe Plaza, is mostly gone. On Oct. 12, Indigenous Peoples Day, dozens of people pulled on a tow strap and a chain tied around the monument and pulled it down in two pieces. All that’s left is the base, which is now boarded up and awaiting whatever comes next.  The monument, known more commonly here in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as “the obelisk,” has ignited fights over what it truly means for decades, and multiple mayors in recent years have promised to consider removing the statue from the plaza. Basically, it’s dedicated to Union soldiers who fought in the southwest—defending it from Confederate armies. But it is also dedicated to these same Union soldiers who slaughtered the regional Indigenous peoples in the so called “indian wars”. So, yeah, it’s complicated.  Finally, what maybe was a long time coming, came. Protesters pulled the obelisk down and so much has happened between Oct. 12 and now, Nov. 18, . The city seems divided into factions—some people believe pulling it down was the right thing to do. Others really don’t. This week’s  Santa Fe Reporter cover story looks in-depth at what’s happening now to move on;  the police response then, versus now; what another city did with a similar problem and more.This is Episode 1 of Season 4 of Reported, the Santa Fe Reporter’s podcast. We’re glad to be back after a lengthy break, bringing you all sorts of news you can use and compelling New Mexico stories for your ears.  Music: Lone Pinon All of our coverage about the toppling of the obelisk: https://www.sfreporter.com/tag/plaza/

Among all the fractions of these United States, the Native American tribes, especially the tribes and pueblos of New Mexico have been especially hard hit by Covid-19.  One area of loss is economic and that’s the American Indian casinos.  Closing them down shrank tribal revenues and idled thousands of workers.  Now, slowly they are re-opening and the tribes ae hoping, without kicking off a second wave of coronavirus infections. Katherine Lewin of the Santa Fe Reporter has the story

As the nation celebrates the 100th anniversary of women winning the right to vote, Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver and Valencia County Peggy Carabajal are working to ensure New Mexicans will have confidence in the November election. NMiF’s senior producer Matt Grubs talks with them about the national controversy over the role the U.S. mail will play in November’s election. It’s part of the Your NM Government Project, a partnership with KUNM Radio and the Santa Fe Reporter newspaper. Controversial statues, such as those of confederate leaders or, especially here in New Mexico, of Spanish conquistadors, have sparked protests for years - and especially now. In Albuquerque, the issue came to a head back in June after a protest at La Jornada, a sculpture in Old Town that features conquistador Juan de Oñate, turned violent. The city ended up pulling that statue down temporarily in the hope of avoiding more demonstrations. NMiF correspondent Gwyneth Doland got an update this week on Albuquerque’s new approach and how they are seeking input on what to do with La Jornadagoing forward. Gene Grant and The Line opinion panel respond to the interview on voting and give their insights and opinions on the expected avalanche of mail-in ballots for the November elections. They also discuss holding major events, like the State Fair and the burning of Zozobra, virtually. They wrap up their turn at the virtual Line table with a discussion on the benchmarks in the COVID fight here in New Mexico, and what it might mean for reopenings, especially of schools.

They’re called P-foss, spelled in capital letters PFAS.  They’re a family of chemicals used to seal off surfaces. Teflon and Scotchgard are 2 brand name products – among many -- made with PFAS.  It’s found in the blood of 99% of Americans.  It’s not good for us, and the official Defense Department list of New Mexico places with PFAS to worry about has quietly grown from 2 to 6.  Laura Paskus of NM Public TV and the Santa Fe Reporter, broke the story.

This week on New Mexico in Focus, senior producer Matt Grubs takes a close look at the state’s COVID-19 testing capability with Sec. Kathyleen Kunkel of the NM Department of Health. New Mexico is able to test more than 5,000 people a day, but routinely falls thousands of tests short of that mark. Correspondent Laura Paskus continues with her series of interviews with journalists around the state as they cover COVID-19 in their communities. Arlyssa Becenti is a reporter with the Navajo Times, which is based in Window Rock, Arizona, and covers the entire 27,000-square mile Navajo Nation. Paskus also checks in with Jeff Proctor, criminal justice reporter for New Mexico In Depth and contributing editor for the Santa Fe Reporter. He’s been tracking how some 6,600 inmates in New Mexico are affected by the pandemic, and what the state is doing to protect prisoners and correctional employees from the deadly virus. Correspondent Antonia Gonzales looks into tribal cultural responses to the current pandemic. Native Americans across the country are finding ways to share their culture, language and traditions with one another as COVID-19 put a halt to tribal gatherings. Virtual pow-wows, beading classes, pottery making, language and story-sharing are among the many things to move online. A number of Facebook groups, town halls, and Zoom meetings are connecting tribal communities offering encouragement and positivity during these trying times. Gonzales talks with some guests about the resilience of Native people. Senior producer Matt Grubs tackles the issue of voting during the pandemic with Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver. This week, county clerks began sending out applications for mail-in absentee ballots as they prepare for the June 2 primary. The New Mexico Supreme Court ruled last month that ballots had to be requested by voters in the upcoming election, rather than allowing clerks to skip a step and just send the ballots. Sec. Toulouse Oliver talks about her concern for public health and in-person voting. On this month’s episode of Our Land, we look back to 2018, when the Rio Grande dried in April after a warm, dry winter. At the time, correspondent Laura Paskus spoke with scientists whose research showed how climate change is already affecting the amount of streamflow in the Rio Grande that comes from snowmelt, especially in the spring. The river’s flow in 2020 is bearing out that grim prediction just two years later.

Armed with a bold voice, a keen critical eye, and an expanded perspective, Dani Katz established her reputation as one of LA’s edgiest literary talents while writing about art, sex, consciousness, wellness, spirituality and transformational culture for the LA Weekly, back in its early millennium heyday. She has since contributed to dozens of publications, including Los Angeles Times, Vice, Teen Vogue, Swindle, LA Yoga, Whole Life Times/Magazine and Santa Fe Reporter, as well as Nerve, The Numinous and Reality Sandwich. In addition to her broad spectrum of formal studies and practical experience, including a Master’s Degree in Journalism, Katz has spent the past several years immersed in the study of Quantum Languaging and conscious communication, researching and perfecting the myriad ways, whys and hows that language influences our every human experience. She is the author of Word Up: Little Languaging Hacks for Big Change – a timely collection of simple communication tweaks and tools with massive evolutionary implications that every visionary change-maker on the planet would be wise to read, grok and integrate, immediately.

The COVID-19 pandemic is sweeping across the world, including right here at home in New Mexico. All of us at the Santa Fe Reporter have been working hard to bring the latest news about what’s happening around the state. For Season 3, Episode 3 of Reported, I speak with Julia Goldberg, senior staff writer at the Reporter and former editor, to talk about her breaking news coverage of this pandemic since its beginning in the United States.

Normally, Reported, a podcast of the Santa Fe Reporter, is only published once a week. But considering the rapidly increasing number of COVID-19 cases  in New Mexico, we have decided to make more frequent special episodes as things evolve.  Today at noon, Wednesday March 18, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham took the podium in the state House chambers in front of a small handful of journalists and staffers to go over new orders that affect the entire state. They include restrictions on buying essentials at grocery stores and curtailing restaurant service to carry-out only. The governor also updated the number of positive test results  here in New Mexico.

True equity in Santa Fe Public Schools has never been achieved. Some schools are fully staffed, while others are missing eight core subject teachers. Standardized test and achievement scores are all over the board, some scoring high while others are barely making it by. One of Santa Fe’s only solutions the school district has come up with is to close certain schools that have less students and are underperforming.  Leah Cantor, a born and raised Santa Fean and a staff writer at the Reporter did an entire cover story just on this subject. I’m here to talk to her for Season 2, Episode 12 of Reported, the Santa Fe Reporter’s podcast digging into the stories and investigations that inspire and affect our lives as New Mexicans.  This is the very last episode of Season 2, and we’re excited about taking a week off to bring you awesome new audio stories we know you’re going to love.

This week on New Mexico in Focus, senior producer Matt Grubs sits down with the executive director of the New Mexico Ethics Commission, Jeremy Farris. Decades in the making, the commission began its work in January of this year. The interview is part of the Your NM Government project, a partnership with KUNM radio and the Santa Fe Reporter. Gene Grant and The Line opinion panel wrapped up their insights into the just-ended legislative session last week, and now move on to what’s next in New Mexico politics: election season. For their second topic, the panel tackles the problem of the hundreds of cases in limbo due to a backlog at the state’s Court of Appeals. Finally, they look at the crisis for people suffering homelessness and question whether New Mexico cities are taking the best approach to address the issue.

Alex DeVore is a culture editor for the Santa Fe Reporter. Additionally, Alex is the guitarist for the punk band Fibber: he's played music for over 20 years, but Fibber is a relatively new creation. We talk about his writing, why he plays (and plays punk specifically), and gaming as a medium and art form. For complete show notes, go to my website.

This week on New Mexico in Focus, correspondent Gwyneth Doland travels to the Roundhouse to get a feel for how lawmakers think the session went. The focus in the last days of the session is on money, and how much of it is safe to spend. This legislative segment is part of the Your New Mexico Government Project, a collaboration with KUNM Radio and the Santa Fe Reporter. This month’s installment of “Our Land” focuses on public land in New Mexico. Correspondent Laura Paskus takes us to a service project in the Sandia Mountains and visits a newly protected national monument in southern New Mexico that one group hopes will represent a chance to reconnect with the land that has authored its past. Gene Grant and The Line opinion panel look back on the just-concluded 30-day session of the New Mexico Legislature. They discuss the legislation that passed and the bills that didn’t quite make it. Some bills were sure hits, and some were unexpected misses. And in a departure for The Line, the panelists will expand their view to look at a national topic: President Trump’s recent spate of pardons.

This week on New Mexico in Focus, “Our Land” correspondent Laura Paskus follows up on a story she broke last weekend. She talks to leaders at the New Mexico Environment Department about the low levels of PFAS toxic chemicals that have been found in some intake wells in the eastern New Mexico city of Clovis. It’s back to the state’s capital with correspondent Gwyneth Doland and the Your New Mexico Government Project to check in on the progress of plans to reform the state’s failing public employee pension program. The Your New Mexico Government Project is a collaboration with KUNM Radio and the Santa Fe Reporter. Correspondent Antonia Gonzales also traveled to the Roundhouse to speak with tribal leaders on American Indian Day, February 7th. The day was focused on environmental protection for the next generation. The leaders talked about creating opportunities for young people and the importance of cultural preservation for the future of New Mexico tribes. Gene Grant and The Line opinion panel debate Senate Bill 5, the Extreme Risk Firearm Protection Order Act as it advances through the legislature. This emotionally charged “red flag” bill has passionate supporters and opponents. The Line panelists also look at proposed changes within CYFD, the Children, Youth and Families Department. For their last topic, the Line looks at a pilot program in Santa Fe Public Schools that addresses the longstanding problem of student truancy.

As far as Mayor Alan Webber’s administration is concerned, it’s none of your business whether a police officer—or any other city employee for that matter—has been disciplined for misconduct. From police officers shooting residents to someone stealing from the business office, the public is in the dark when the Santa Fe investigates its own and decides someone has broken the rules.  The administration believes that the fact of police and other employee discipline should be kept secret, and is not a fact at all. Rather, the city of Santa Fe claims that any such discipline is a matter of opinion.  The Santa Fe Reporter has been asking for disciplinary records for years, in particular about police officers. The city has denied us each time. So, last year, we sued them under IPRA. Last month, a judge said we had every right to do so.

This week, New Mexico in Focus takes a close look at topics important to the state now that the 2020 legislative session has begun. Gene Grant and The Line opinion panel watched the governor’s State of the State address in the NMPBS studio as it was broadcast from the Roundhouse by our television crew. The Line panel of former lawmakers took a deep dive into their takeaways from the speech, which was streamed live on the web. We bring you highlights from the speech and from the panelists’ analysis. Correspondent Gwyneth Doland travels to Santa Fe to talk to lawmakers about responsible budgeting and check in on concerns about open government. NMiF host Gene Grant sits down with Charles Goodmacher of Transform Education NM, a coalition of education, tribal and community leaders whose mission is to advance a new vision for New Mexico’s public education system and hold the state accountable to meeting the constitutional rights of its students. They will discuss the Yazzie/Martinez lawsuit that mandated New Mexico do a better job of providing an equitable education for English-language learners, Native, and low-income students. NMiF senior producer Matt Grubs speaks with Kathleen Sabo of New Mexico Ethics Watch. The group authored a recent report on the influence of lobbyists on the nation’s only true citizen legislature. New Mexico has long struggled with a few powerful people holding sway at the Capitol. The rise of grassroots campaigning has changed the game, though well-moneyed interests are quickly shifting tactics to protect their interests.

NMPBS, KUNM and The Santa Fe Reporter are proud to bring you the 2020 State of the State Address, delivered by New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham on Tuesday, January 21, 2020. Along with the speech, we also bring you analysis and insight with a panel of former lawmakers. This is part of the #YourNMGov project. (Funding for #YourNMGov provided by the Thornburg Foundation and the New Mexico Local Journalism Fund). This year we also provided live annotated comments of the speech in partnership with newsrooms across the state.

Reported Season 2 is here. We’re back, the Santa Fe Reporter’s podcast digging into the stories and investigations that inspire and affect our lives as New Mexicans. We start off with Brendan Shepherd, a Santa Fean who had a conversation with almost-president Al Gore that changed her life forever.  Then we hear from Raven Callaway-Kidd, a teenager with a heart and mind consumed with the consequences of our changing and warming planet. Raven loves our New Mexico sunsets… but she can’t help but wonder how long they will last. We end this episode with Kristin Goodman. She takes us into a dark world where no one is a victim — even victims themselves.

Pinball isn't just a trope from 1970s and 1980s cinema—at least not in Santa Fe. That's because of New Mexico Pinball, the city's only organization dedicated completely to the game.  The Santa Fe Reporter met up with New Mexico Pinball's founders to talk strategy and a growing love of pinball in the state. 

Welcome to Reported, the Santa Fe Reporter’s new podcast digging into the stories and investigations the newspaper knows you’ve read but wants you to hear.   I’m Katherine Lewin, your host and the journalist on this story. You’re listening to Episode Number 1, Draining the Food Swamp. It’s a journey through the Southside’s struggling, patchwork food landscape.  Many families in this farthest southern portion of the city can't afford or reasonably access healthy foods, and it takes substantial effort to get to a grocery store. Researchers have long-identified Santa Fe as a network of both food deserts (those are low-income neighborhoods that lack easy access to healthy, affordable food) and food swamps (places where unhealthy foods are more readily available than healthy choices). That's no secret here in the capital city. Through a close analysis of government data bolstered by spot checking and mapping tools, plus dozens of interviews, I found that the problem appears to be worsening, particularly on the Southside, where fast food restaurants and convenience stores outnumber grocery stores at a higher ratio than ever.

Once nearly impossible to find and now... still pretty tough to obtain via legitimate means, Dalton Trumbo's JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN—the 1971 film he wrote and directed based on his own 1939 novel—is both legendary and forgotten at the same time. It tells the disturbing tale of a young soldier who loses his limbs and nearly all of his senses, but whose mind remains intact as he's trapped inside his own body in a military hospital. Adapted into Metallica's music video "One" and rubbing shoulders with the great anti-war and surrealist films, Johnny Got His Gun is not easy to watch. Also discussed: the film's most effective techniques; Trumbo's career and politics; other adaptations on stage and film; and its maybe-possible influence on Better Call Saul. Plus: does Metallica really own the film outright?

This week, Roqayah and Kumars are joined by Aaron Cantú, a journalist with the Santa Fe Reporter and one of more than 200 people arrested at the #J20 protests on the day of Trump’s inauguration. As he describes in his article “Enemy of the People: An indicted journalist reflects on conspiracy in today's America,” Aaron was charged with 8 felonies and faced up to 80 years in prison before the charges were dropped in July after almost 18 months. Roqayah and Kumars ask Aaron about his experience of prosecution, and Aaron shares historical examples the of the criminalization of dissent that provide context for the collective identity and guilt attributed to the #J20 defendants by the prosecution. We talk about the chilling effect of government suppression of left-wing dissent, as well as how antifa tactics including doxxing have forced the far right to regroup. We also discuss the false equivalence between fascist and antifascist protesters in mainstream media reporting, citing recent examples. Finally, Aaron shares his views on the responsibilities journalists have while reporting left- and right-wing movements. Follow Aaron on Twitter @aaron_con_choco and read his latest work at the Santa Fe Reporter.

Based on an article she wrote in Vice, my guest, Tantrika and writer Dani Katz, and I explore how click-of-a-button access to free porn is creating a whole new generation of men who not only can’t get or maintain an erection, but can’t get or maintain a healthy emotional and physical relationship!

  It’s fan mail day on Spoilerpiece Theatre. Dave reads a letter his editors received at the Santa Fe Reporter, and the writer, in admonishing Dave for using foul language, swears more than Dave ever does in print. Evan rips LITTLE BOY a new one, Kris gets into history with his review of Russell Crowe's THE WATER DIVINER (and Evan and Dave do a lot of talking with Australian accents), and Dave is on board with THE AGE OF ADALINE’s magical realism. Please forgive the audio problem we had at the end of the recording. One of the mic cords went dead and a few of Kris’ final thoughts are at low volume; it’ll be fixed by the next episode.
