Eleanor Goldfield & Mickey Huff host this week’s program.This week, the violation and capitulation of higher education. First up, I sit down with Zachary Levenson to talk about the war on sociology and what happens when the academic governing body deems all existing sociology textbooks illegal to teach in the state of Florida. Zach highlights the purposefully vague verbiage of new policies, the anti-intellectualism fueling them, and why educators must never self-censor or comply in advance. Next up, cohost Mickey Huff sits down with Nolan Higdon to talk about his latest book MAGAcademy on how corporatism paved the way for the hostile takeover of Higher Ed. Nolan discusses the neoliberalization of academia, the purposeful devaluing of professors and treatment of students as customers that all predate the current attacks on higher ed. Nolan also warns of the dangers of compliance in advance and the smooth rhetoric of corporate takeovers wrapped in social justice ideologies.

While corporate media focuses on the 24-hour wartime news cycle, a lot falls through the cracks, entire continents actually. First up this week, we welcome back to the program journalist José Luis Granados Ceja to talk about the Greater America plan, and Operation Total Extermination, the latest US policy initiatives for Latin America.

Next up, journalist and organizer Edith Romero talks about corporate colonialism in Honduras, and how the likes of Peter Thiel are piggy-backing on decades of imperialist extraction to create their own sovereign nations not subject to any Honduran oversight or accountability, and how this connects to the oppressive surveillance and anti-human eugenicist manifestations of AI here in the US and globally.

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week’s program. First up, I sit down with educator and author Allison Butler to talk about her latest book: The Judgment of Gender: How Women are Centered and Silenced in Pop Culture. Allison dissects this seeming contradiction of both centering and silencing women. We dive into some history to orient us in the present, consider the intersections of womanhood, the women in service to patriarchy, and more. Next up, Dr. Shir Hever comes back on the show this time to give us a perspective on the war on Iran that you won’t likely hear, even in alternative and independent media. Shir prompts us to consider what the actual goals of the war are through understanding modern warfare, the US/Israeli relationship, and the paradoxical stability of totalitarianism staring at us from this current apocalyptic war.
