    Raising the Dark Curtain with Sasha Roday

    Sasha’s eyes were ruined by laser surgery in 2011, and she launched My Beautiful Eyes Foundation in January 2012. Since then, as a patient advocate, she has advised and represented thousands of people, the majority like her, irreparably damaged by refractive eye surgery, laser and lens. Sasha has worked closely with John McDonnell MP, actively campaigning for government regulation of the UK refractive surgery industry, doing her utmost to publicise the serious risks of these unnecessary and frequently debilitating operations, and to expose the corruption within the industry - at every level.

    We’re in Blue Light Hell with Michael Colligan & Mark Baker

    Mark Baker contends that the Department of Energy committed fraud by not following Congress’s instructions. Is the LED bulb really a replacement for the incandescent bulb? Or is it totally different, unsafe, hazardous and dangerous? Mark Baker is the President of The Soft Light Foundation, a non-profit organization that advocates for the protection of people and the environment from the harms of visible radiation emitted by products that use Light Emitting Diodes. Mark is the primary author of a primer on the differences between a curved surface emitter and a flat surface emitter.  His co-authors include subject matter experts in the fields of physics, engineering, medicine, and light pollution.

    We’re a Diurnal Species That Rides Bikes with Bill McGeeney

    Bill hosts the Light Pollution News Podcast. Some might see that as competition to the Restoring Darkness Podcast. We don’t see it that way. The more awareness brought to the issue of light pollution, the better. Let’s ALL make podcasts about the subject! Bill McGeeney is the host of the Light Pollution News podcast. He’s a dark sky advocate, member of the Pennsylvania chapter of Dark Sky International, a master watershed steward, and a Mid-East Region of the Astronomical League Representative. McGeeney started Light Pollution News to further explore topics associated with the environmental and ecological plight. The show aims to present an open and fair platform to discuss and evaluate topics in the news each month as they pertain to light pollution. The goal is to further build conversation, education, and awareness of light pollution.

    Light Pollution is a Public Health Emergency with Steve Mariconda

    Steve Mariconda became so passionate about light pollution that he decided to make it the subject of this master's thesis! In his research, he learned about its real impact on human health. Mark Baker suggests that we use the word “carcinogen” when referring to light pollution. That’ll perk up officials’ ears! Steve Mariconda lives in Bergen County, New Jersey, about 10 miles from NYC. He is finishing his master's degree in public health at Rutgers University. His final thesis is on indoor and outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) and its impact on human health and safety. He is a DarkSky International Delegate, one of three in New Jersey, and a member of the DarkSky New Jersey Chapter. He currently make a living as a nursing home musical entertainer.
