Full Hour | In today's second hour, Dom Giordano welcomes in Senator Rand Paul for a wide-ranging discussion covering Ukraine, Uvalde, and inflation. First, Giordano asks the Senator about the continued dedication of American money to Ukrainian forces, particularly as domestic issues continue to rear their ugly head. Rand asks how we plan to rebuild a country while running a trillion dollar deficit, wondering where the Biden administration's priorities lie as Americans struggle to make ends meet. Then, Giordano and Senator Paul delve into solutions for the spike in school shootings in the country after the horrific incident in Uvalde, TX, with Paul explaining the intersection between protecting the 2nd Amendment and strengthening security in schools. Then, Jeff Stefan, leader of the ‘Inconsiderate Late Night Philly Music' group on Facebook, joins the Dom Giordano Program after being interview by 6ABC in a story about the persistent boom parties popping up around the city as the weather gets warmer. For 5 years now, Stefan and other local citizens have been complaining about loud music shaking their walls and keeping their children awake emanating from cars tricked out with sound systems producing more decibels than a jet engine on an airplane.  (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

Then, Governor Mike Huckabee returns to the Dom Giordano Program to offer his take on the groundbreaking leak out of the Supreme Court, noting the potential end of Roe v. Wade and a change of tune nation-wide on the topic of abortion. First, Huckabee and Giordano discuss the Supreme Court itself and the decision to overturn the edict, with Huckabee explaining why he holds the topic so close to heart. Then, Giordano asks Huckabee for the implications on the upcoming midterms, with Huckabee telling that he thinks the move, if it was political, will backfire due to an underlying and quiet pro-life majority.

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by discussing the visceral reaction by Leftists to the Elon Musk buyout of Twitter, asking listeners for their biggest takeaways from the news and telling of a couple conservatives who many believe deserve to be back on the platform. Then, Giordano plays back a couple clips from last night's debate between the candidates running for United States Senate in Pennsylvania, breaking down heated words between Kathy Barnette and Carla Sands, and offering kudos to Dave McCormick for a comment he made regarding Dr. Mehmet Oz's flip-flopping after his time spent as a television host. Then, Kathy Barnette, candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program to take us inside last night's debate in which she faced off against a number of other competitors. First, Kathy tells of the response she's had since last night, telling that it was a very good night for the campaign, and explains how she's developed throughout her campaign, telling of the association she makes between counties and faces after canvassing the state and meeting voters. Then, Giordano asks Barnette about a heated exchange she shared with opponent Carla Sands over Sands' comments regarding Barnette's 2020 loss running as a congressional candidate against Madeleine Dean, with Barnette explaining why the comments made were disingenuous. Then, Giordano asks Kathy about a comment made about ‘MAGA' and former President Donald Trump's endorsement of Dr. Oz, telling why and how she believes ‘MAGA' is not owned by Trump, but instead the conservative people.

Full Hour | In today's third and final hour, Giordano welcomes back Kathy Barnette, gubernatorial candidate in Pennsylvania, onto the Dom Giordano Program. First, Giordano congratulates Barnette on her polling results after speaking yesterday with Trafalgar Group's Chief Pollster Robert Cahaly, with Barnette explaining why she believes she's seen her popularity skyrocket in recent weeks. Then, Giordano presses Barnette on an issue he sees arising if she were to win the primary, asking whether her lack of funding compared to other primary competitors would set her back in an eventual general election. Kathy tells that, when all is said and done, if she can prove herself as the strongest conservative candidate, she believes the monetary support will come in a general election setting. Also, Barnette tells what separates her from her competitors, talking about specific issues that Oz and McCormick have supported that she finds questionable as a conservative. Then, Dr. Marty Makary, nationally-recognized medical expert from Johns Hopkins University and author of The Price We Pay: What Broke American Healthcare and How To Fix It, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss developments centered around the Coronavirus pandemic. First, Giordano asks for Makary's expertise in the validity of the Biden administration's justification for continuing on with masking mandates, particularly on public transportation and for young children. Then, Giordano asks Makary for his opinion on what he's deemed Philadelphia's ‘Doomsday Device' that they've set in place to return to masking mandates, after the system was triggered in the past week for a nearly negligible rise in infections.

Full Hour | In today's third hour, Dom Giordano welcomes local chiropractor Ann Marie Muldoon onto the Dom Giordano Program. Muldoon has been in the news within the past few days after she choose to sell baked goods from Stock's Bakery out of her office to raise money for the Toomey family, who tragically lost their 15-year-old son after a stray bullet left him brain dead after an attempted carjacking in the Wissinoming section of Philadelphia. Muldoon updates on the status of the Toomey family, then contextualizes the setting of the tragic incident. Muldoon and Giordano discuss the change in the area, turning into a crime-ridden area, with Muldoon telling why she believes Krasner is at fault in the spike in violence and carjackings that lead to such a tragedy. If you'd like to donate to the Toomey family, please send a Venmo to @olc-HandS and write 'For Sean' in the memo. Then, after playing his Money Melody for the day, Giordano turns over into local politics, discussing a Pennsylvania House proposal set forth to strengthen Title IX, calling for women's sports to remain strictly for those born as biological females. Then, Giordano plays back a clip from President Biden, offering his thoughts on a response that the President had for a reporter when asked about community policing, telling of his frustration with the continued dance around policing issues from the Left after spending so much time calling for the defunding of police.  (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

In today's final hour, Dom Giordano leads off by discussing the Democratic push to twist the narrative surrounding gas prices into a blame game, arguing that Putin is the person to blame for the skyrocketing prices. Giordano explains what the Democrats are doing in trying to sully this topic, explaining that Leftists are looking to justify their prioritization of the green agenda over a healthy economy. Then, after playing Dom's Money Melody, Giordano discusses the newest song by Five for Fighting's John Ondrasik, written about President Zelenskyy of Ukraine. Then, Giordano spends the remainder of the hour talking local issues, focusing on the skyrocketing crime in and around the city of Philadelphia.  (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by discussing the push to return to in-person schooling in the face of the Omicron variant, telling of the efforts by teachers unions to force children into remote schooling again. Then, Giordano and producer Dan debate the situation that unfolded last night during the Sunday Night Football game, in which controversy arose in the last two minutes of overtime when the Raiders decided to seal their fate with a win instead of a tie against the Chargers. Had both teams tied, both would have made the playoffs, but the Raiders decided to kick a game winning field goal after a Chargers timeout. Then, after bumping back from break, Dom and Dan spend time remembering the great career of Bob Saget, then switch back into a conversation surrounding coronavirus policies, particularly in schools. Then, Angie Schmitt, author of Right of Way: Race, Class, and the Silent Epidemic of Pedestrian Deaths in America, joins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss a piece she penned for the Atlantic, telling why Coronavirus policies have caused her to sour on Democrats. First, Schmitt takes Giordano through her past year, raising and schooling two children while being the primary source of income. Schmitt tells that during her 6 months off from work, her entire family got Coronavirus, and she recognized that there may be ulterior motives at play here. In addition, Schmitt tells that she feels both parties, Democrat and Republican, have spent too much time fighting one another rather than finding a solution out of the pandemic.

When hurricane Ida struck the coast of Louisiana last weekend, almost to the day that Katrina did 16 years ago, comparisons between the two events were soon to follow. As the latest storm continues to wreak havoc and death further north in the US, Suzana Camargo of Columbia university talks to Roland Pease about the similarities and differences, the better forecasting available now, and the grim reality that climate change suggests for this and future hurricane seasons. A couple of weeks ago, Science in Action looked at the carbon accounting of Blue Hydrogen (hydrogen manufactured from fossil fuels). Listener Nick Arndt got in touch to say we were wrong when we stated that hydrogen can't be piped out of the ground from natural sources. His company, Sisprobe, plans to use its passive seismic prospecting technology to work with an international consortium that aims to unlock a new “hydrogen rush” – commercialising what they suspect to be a near-ubiquitous source of genuinely carbon-free fuel - to supply the world economy of the near future. Viacheslav Zgonnik - CEO of start-up Natural Hydrogen Energy LLC - has been working on hydrogen for 10 years, has written a recent review of the science, and tells Roland about current and future studies into finding the best way to tap this simplest of molecules before it escapes into space. In Chile, the recent megadrought has led to fears that hydroelectric damns may become so drained that power-outs may occur in the coming months. This will not help Chile to achieve its target of carbon-neutrality by 2050. Apt, then, that a new Concentrated Solar Power plant (CSP) is now up and running in the north of the country. Reporter Jane Chambers has been to visit Cerro Dominador – the spectacular new array of 10,600 mirrors that focus sunshine onto a molten salt target, heating it up to 560C, and generating up to 210 MW electricity. Meanwhile archaeologists have been doing a molecular analysis of a protein found to survive in the bones of unfortunate victims of the mount Vesuvius eruption that destroyed Pompeii. Despite the searing heat that killed inhabitants of nearby Herculaneum, Oliver Criag of York University has been able to examine the different isotopes in amino acids still recoverable from their bones to help identify what sorts of things these people ate during their tragically foreshortened lifetimes. A whole lot of cereals generally, but more interestingly, the men tended to eat more fish while the women seem to have consumed more meat and dairy. Our connection to the night sky spans cultures and millennia: observing the stars and planets helped our ancestors navigate the world, tell stories about the constellations, and understand our place in the universe. But these days, for the vast majority of us, seeing the stars is getting harder. 80% of people live under light polluted skies, and in many cities you're lucky to see a handful of stars at night. This state of affairs is bothering CrowdScience listener and keen stargazer Mo from Salt Lake City in the USA, who wonders if there's anything we can do about light pollution. Of course, we could simply turn out all the lights, but that's unrealistic. So what are smarter ways of lighting our communities to preserve our view of the cosmos? Increasingly worried by the effect of artificial lighting on the ability to observe stars, astronomer Dr Jason Pun set up a series of monitoring stations to continuously measure ‘sky glow'. By comparing sky glow across the world, he wants to figure out which approaches work best. One community taking an active approach is the South Downs National Park in South East England, one of a number of Dark Sky Reserves around the word. We visit the park and speak to the Dark Skies Officer there, to find out how people are coming together to turn down their lights and keep the night dark. And it's not just stargazing that's threatened by light pollution. Artificial light at night disrupts the circadian rhythms of wildlife. We visit a project in rural Germany looking into the benefits of dark-sky-friendly lighting on insect populations there. (Image credit: Scott Olson/Getty Images)

In every city in the world there is a viewing platform where you can gaze down upon the place from on-high. But why do we like to build tall and be high – what is it about standing tall and defying gravity that matters so much? Are Skyscrapers simply about vanity or are there practical and even spiritual reasons why we want to build so high? Mike Williams ventures up the Shard, the tallest building in London, with its architect Renzo Piano. He talks to Blair Kamin, Architecture Critic at the Chicago Tribune – the city that brought us the skyscraper, as well as experts Daniel Safarik, from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat and Dr. Phillip Oldfield, from the University of Nottingham.
