Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week. In the first segment, a French farmer explains the complex politics behind the recent wave of mass protests by farmers, as well as the economic squeeze that government policies impose on them.
Next, in a brief “intermission,” Eleanor and Mickey discuss recent failures of corporate media and consider whether old media has abandoned any hope of building a substantial audience among the generation now coming of age.
We conclude by discussing legislation to expose vast tracts of southeast Alaskan forest to logging, under a pretense of returning the land to Native Alaskan authority.
David Lorant is a farmer based in Rennes, northwest France.
Joshua Wright is a filmmaker and forest-defense activist.
