Part 1:We talk with Martha Pskowski, who covers climate news in Texas.We discuss the state of labor and employment regulations in Texas, especially with regard to the dangers that are experiencing due to hotter temperatures. There are no federal or state regulations, and Texas is prohibiting municipalities from enacting regulations locally. This is proving lethal for workers.Part 2:We talk with Thomas Neuburger, a long-time professional writer, author of stories, poems, essays and non-fiction books. His work has appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, Common Dreams, Alternet, Naked Capitalism, DownWithTyranny! and many other venues. he has written political analysis under his own name and the byline Gaius Publius since 2003.We discuss the use of Flock cameras, that enable universal surveillance. These are not secure, and the data is owned by the corporation, to use as it sees fit.  WNHNFM.ORG   productionMusic: David Rovics

Danielle Haas er redaktør og journalist som arbeidet som seniorredaktør i Human Rights Watch fra 2009 til 2023. Tidligere underviste hun ved Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, og som Jerusalem-basert korrespondent for Reuters, Associated Press og San Francisco Chronicle rapporterte hun om den israelsk-palestinske konflikten – blant annet fra Vestbredden og Gaza – samt fra Irak etter den amerikanske invasjonen.I senere år har hun blitt en ledende stemme for reform innen menneskerettighetssektoren. Hun hevder at feltet har mistet både nøytralitet og troverdighet. Med et sjeldent innsideperspektiv på utfordringene i store menneskerettighetsorganisasjoner, argumenterer hun for en ny tilnærming – «Menneskerettigheter 2.0» – basert på kjerneverdier, ansvarlighet og universalisme.Dr. Yariv Mohar er sosiolog med spesialisering i kollektiv handling i sivilsamfunnet, politisk vold og terrorisme. Han er også medleder for Initiative for National Security and Human Rights. Med bakgrunn fra både akademia og aktivisme har Mohar blitt en fremtredende stemme som utfordrer selektivt raseri og ideologisk skjevhet innen menneskerettighetsmiljøet.I sine nyere skrifter argumenterer han for en rettighetstenkning som kombinerer medfølelse med realisme, forsvarer sivile på alle sider og avviser avhumanisering. Mohar leder også Pro-Human Campaign, en global koalisjon mot avhumanisering av både palestinere, israelere, muslimer og jøder. Arbeidet hans tar til orde for en fornyelse av menneskerettighetene som en virkelig universell og løsningsorientert praksis – en som erkjenner både sikkerhetsbehov og menneskets iboende verdighet.Både Danielle og Yariv forlot henholdsvis Human Rights Watch og Amnesty International på grunn av det de opplevde der etter 7. oktober. ► NY BOK UTE NÅ: Frykt og Stillhet - jødiske stemmer i Norge etter 7. oktober.

In the summer of 1969, the San Francisco Chronicle received a letter that would ignite one of the most infamous investigations in American history. Inside was a chilling confession, a cryptic cipher, and the signature that would terrify the nation: a circle with a cross through it. T We trace every confirmed attack, beginning with the Lake Herman Road murders of teenage sweethearts David Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen—an ambush that seemed random until the killer later claimed it as his own. From there, we follow the trail to Blue Rock Springs, where Darlene Ferrin was killed and Michael Mageau survived a barrage of gunfire—and the eerie phone call that linked both crimes in the killer's own voice.We dive into the ciphers that made this case legendary: the first three-part code cracked by a schoolteacher and his wife, and the 340-character cipher solved over fifty years later.These messages revealed the killer's delusions, obsessions, and desire to terrorize an entire region. We also break  down the horrifying daylight attack at Lake Berryessa, where Bryan Hartnell survived a knife assault from a hooded figure wearing the iconic crossed-circle emblem. Then we move into Presidio Heights, where cab driver Paul Stine's murder and a devastating miscommunication allowed police to unknowingly let the Zodiac walk right past them. We explore dozens of letters and cards sent to newspapers, including threats against school buses and claims of dozens more victims. This correspondence became the Zodiac's greatest weapon—psychological warfare that spread fear across Northern California.We examone the massive multi-agency manhunt, forensic clues from footprints to partial prints to modern DNA extraction, and the long list of suspects: Arthur Leigh Allen, Rick Marshall, Lawrence Kane, Ross Sullivan, and more—each compelling, each flawed, none ever confirmed.We also cover unconfirmed cases like Cheri Jo Bates and Donna Lass, as well as modern developments from DNA profiling to the controversial Case Breakers announcement.We discuss whether genetic genealogy may one day identify the killer—as it did in the Golden State Killer case—and why recent results remain sealed.Beyond the crimes, we look at the cultural footprint: how the Zodiac case reshaped criminal investigation, inspired countless books and films, and created a vast community of amateur sleuths still searching for answers.At the center of this story are the victims—Betty Lou Jensen, David Faraday, Darlene Ferrin, Cecelia Shepard, and Paul Stine—whose lives and futures were stolen by a killer who turned murder into a game.It's the story of a case that transformed American true crime, a mystery that refuses to die, and a shadow that still lingers over the Bay Area more than fifty years later. The Zodiac sought immortality—and in a grim sense, he found it.The case remains open.The cipher is not fully solved.And somewhere, the key to this mystery is still waiting to be discovered.

A fisherman down on his luck finds gold at the bottom of the sea. It's only after his treasure hunt is underway that he discovers what is truly valuable deep down.BIG thanks to Joe Pennisi for sharing your story with Snap.This story would not have been possible if not for the amazing, on-the-ground reporting work of Tara Duggan, Jason Fagone, and Santiago Mejia who first told this incredible story for the San Francisco Chronicle.Produced by Nikka Singh, original score by Renzo Gorrio, artwork by Teo Ducot. Snap Classic - Season 16 – Episode 53 Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Town Hall Seattle, Juneau Street Resilience Pod, and the City of Seattle's Office of Sustainability and Environment hosts an evening with climate justice leaders who are reimagining our climate future in Seattle and beyond; discussing how community leaders, local government and academia can use joy and storytelling to build relationships and actualize climate resilience strategies, and sharing more about the upcoming One Seattle Climate Action Plan Update, including how you can get involved!

Dr. Esther Min received her PhD in Environmental and Occupational Hygiene from the University of Washington and her Master of Public Health with emphasis in community health from Touro University, California.

Elaine, the owner of Elaine Wines is our guest today on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. She started her winery after a career as an biotech intellectual property attorney. Dan Berger discovered these wines just by tasting them at an event. He was excited to find a Chardonnay that was not overdone and that smelled and tasted like Chardonnay. It is an older style of making Chardonnay that appeals to people like Dan who remember when that style was prevalent. Elaine Wines is a small winery but has already earned a bunch of awards. This first one for tasting is the 2023 Chardonnay, the youngest one that Elaine brought. All of the Chardonnays are made with fruit from her vineyard. She has three acres with one acre of Chard and two of Pinot Noir. Dan detects a little bit of dried pineapple character and the oak is very subtle. The vineyard is at high elevation and Dan says the wine matches the smell of the vineyard. There are fir trees and oaks nearby which influence the vineyard. Dan also appreciates the good acidity. The vines are 25 feet from their house. Before Elaine moved to California, she was a biotech patent attorney, with a background in molecular and micro-biology. She got an online certificate in winemaking from UC Davis, before she moved from North Carolina. Elaine found a custom crush where she was not obligated to meet a tonnage minimum, which allowed her to start making wine with a small production. She found a community of helpful people in California, who work in wine. That is uniform throughout most wine regions in the world, says Dan Berger. Dan says that Prohibition may have ended in 1933 but it was the 1960s before winemaking woke up in the US, in California mostly. Chardonnays The second Chardonnay they taste came from the same grapes, but the first had newer barrels and the 2022 was made in one single barrel that had been used once before. That is generally considered 50% new. She only made 23 cases of this, because they had a very low yield and she had promised some grapes to another winemaker. This wine won a Double Gold at the San Francisco Chronicle wine tasting. Dan says that the problem with a lot of Chardonnay today is that it has to be big and rich. This is the other side of the spectrum of types of Chard. A lot of people making Chardonnay are trying to make a wine that they think will sell. Elaine, on the other hand, came into this without that notion at all. She just lets the vineyard do what it can do, and then handle it in a way to bring that out. Don't serve it too cold, because the flavors won't come out. What's more, this wine is a 2022 and it has had enough time to reach full maturity. She likes to do "as little as I can" and treat it gently. Pinot Noir The next tasting is a Pinot Noir that earned 99 points and a Double Gold from the American Fine Wine Competition, and Gold Medals all over the place. Dan says that the judges like it when the dominant flavor is fruit not oak. Dan describes the flavor of beets that is hiding in the wine.

It's been about two years since we last talked with Rachel on Episode 307 and a LOT has changed… As always, no need to go back and listen to get a ton out of this conversation! Rachel has been non-monogamous for about 15 years and for about the last two years she's been exploring solo polyamory. For as long as she can remember she's always wanted to be a parent and a little over a year ago she made the decision to have a child using a donor without having a co-parent… Or, as she calls it: Rogue Mom. In our conversation today Rachel talks about the challenges of being a woman in her thirties watching her biological clock tick down as she tries to build a career and life that society deems adequate for raising kids. However, Rachel's life and career don't need to meet society's expectations and standards because what truly matters is that they meet her own. Rachel takes us through her decision to go rogue and everything she had to go through to make it actually happen. She also shares with us how she's built an incredible support team around her made up of family, friends, professionals, and her community. This is such a beautiful conversation full of love and joy as Rachel shares her excitement around becoming a Rogue Mom just a few months from when recorded this. There's even a surprise or two hidden in here! Enjoy!

Update Friday Oct. 24, 2025 12:43 p.m.: After bracing for a surge of federal immigration actions, Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee said Friday afternoon that border patrol operations have been cancelled for the entire Bay Area, including Oakland. The Bay Area started bracing for federal troops Wednesday night after the San Francisco Chronicle first reported that nearly 100 federal agents, including from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, would be coming to the U.S. Coast Guard Island in Alameda for a major immigration enforcement operation in the region. Then on Thursday morning, Mayor Daniel Lurie announced that President Donald Trump had called off the “surge” in San Francisco.  Links: Federal Agents Injure Activists at Coast Guard Base During Immigration Crackdown Lurie: Trump Is ‘Calling Off' Plans to Send Federal Troops to San Francisco Learn more about your ad choices.

Peltier Winery & Vineyards is a fourth-generation farming family operation where the winery itself was established in 2001 by third-generation farmer Rodney Schatz and his wife Gayla in the heart of California's Lodi Appellation. What began in 1985 with Rodney's purchase of 40 acres of Old Vine Zinfandel has evolved into a 1,000+ acre sustainably certified operation producing over 30,000 cases annually across multiple wine collections. The winery's product innovation spans from rare Italian varietals like Teroldego and Vermentlno to modern offerings like Zante-a carbonated rose designed for today's conscious consumers with less than 1 gram of sugar per serving. Peltier distinguishes itself through complete estate control from vineyard to bottle, pioneering sustainable practices including being among the first to achieve 100% Lodi Rules certification and installing an innovative worm farm water treatment system that reduces energy use by 95%. Looking ahead, the winery continues expanding into new appellations like Clarksburg while maintaining their core phllosophy of minimal intervention winemaking that lets vineyard personality shine. Peltier consistently delivers award-winning quality across price points from $17-$60, earning accolades from Wine Enthusiast, San Francisco Chronicle, and international competitions. Their unique tasting room features a 24-wine WineStation system that eliminates waste while encouraging exploration of their diverse portfolio, embodying their brand promise of being "wine-smart with a wink"-knowledgeable experts who don't take themselves too seriously while delivering exceptional estate-grown wines that reflect four generations of farming heritage with three generations currently working together.

In Episode 30, DDSWTNP once again use the occasion of the Nobel Prize (which on October 9, 2025, was awarded to Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai) to talk about a prize Don DeLillo did win: the 2013 Library of Congress Prize for American Fiction. We dig into the award presentation and an interview he gave then about his whole career, from how he begins his novels and finds their structures, to the reading he did on a park bench in the 1950s, the influence advertising work had on his writing, and the inspiration he has found in the artistry of jazz and film. This episode culminates on the title question, “So what?”, which is the revealing remark DeLillo remembers making upon seeing Americana in published form – and a key, we think, to understanding the humility, ambition, and restless work ethic that has driven his work over the five decades since. For the reader new to DeLillo, this interview and episode offer a good overview of his major concerns and literary techniques. And for readers at any stage with DeLillo's fiction, this one also goes well with our previous two Nobel episodes, 3 and 17, where we discuss his “The Artist Naked in a Cage” and “A History of the Writer Alone in a Room.” Listen to this episode too for many other callbacks to our earlier episodes, including 5 and 28. For video of the Library of Congress Prize presentation and the interview of DeLillo conducted by Marie Arana, an editor at the Washington Post, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AObZbCKlEc8&t=722s Thanks for pointing out and providing some sources for this episode to: Tim Personn (https://linktr.ee/timpersonn), Joel in Toronto, and Curt Gardner (https://perival.com/delillo/delillo.html). Texts and passages referred to in this episode: John Freeman, “Q & A: Don DeLillo – It's not as easy as it looks,” San Francisco Chronicle, March 5, 2006.

Are you ready to unlock the secrets to boosting your confidence and motivation as a woman?  In this empowering episode, Maraya Brown and Margaret Lynch Raniere dive deep into the fascinating world of female hormonal health and the power of tapping to transform self-doubt into confidence. Margaret shares her expert insights into how hormonal cycles uniquely impact women's energy, stress responses, and motivation, explaining how stress often gets misinterpreted as a personal flaw rather than a natural response. She reveals the critical differences in how men and women handle stress, with women more prone to rumination and self-criticism. This episode is a must-listen for women who want to understand the science behind their motivation and learn powerful tools to unlock their full potential.   In this episode: Chronic stress can affect women more intensely by elevating cortisol, affecting estrogen and progesterone, and leading to increased self-criticism. EFT is a powerful tool for reducing stress, managing emotions, and enhancing self-compassion, helping women turn their fight-or-flight response off. Self-compassion and oxytocin play essential roles in women's stress management, contrasting with how men handle stress via testosterone. Women carry unique societal pressures that influence confidence and motivation, requiring personalized strategies for empowerment. About the Guest: Margaret Lynch Raniere earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. She has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Miami Herald, Houston and San Francisco Chronicle, NBC, ABC, CBS News, FOX and CNN to name a few.

When Ivan and Annette Stineman disappeared from their home in Concord, California in the summer of 2000, it immediately raised red alarmed with those closest to the elderly couple. Those alarms proved to be justified when, a week later, the remains of the Stinemans and three others were discovered in duffel bags in Sacramento River Delta.The day after the remains were found in river, investigators arrested Taylor and Justin Helzer, and Justin's girlfriend, Dawn Godman, for the murders of Ivan and Annette Stineman. A short time later, they would also be charged with the murders of Taylor's girlfriend, Selina Bishop, her mother, Jenny Villarin, and Villarin's boyfriend, Jim Gamble.At first, investigators believed the murders were part of a plot to extort the Stinemans for a large amount of money, but the deeper they dug into the lives and backgrounds of the killers, a different and far more bizarre motive began to emerge.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAguila, Justino. 2000.
