This week Sex and Politics–women’s health and breast cancer
This Thursday on Sex and Politics, we’re doing a special show on health issues for women, and I’d like you to listen in. I’ll be talking to James Brophy, a Canadian researcher and co-author on a new study indicating links between breast cancer incidence and exposure to substances in plastics. While the study concentrated on […]
“We Kill 50 Civilians for every Terrorist”
I had a great Sex And Politics interview last night with Marc Saviano, a peace activist and organizer out of Kansas City, Missouri. The groups he is working with are doing important work. Trifecta Resista has made a lie out of the right-wing bromide that anti-war activists are giving President Obama a free pass. I […]
Thursday Night on WBCR is Drone Night!

the back-and-forth on the gun debate
A couple of weeks ago, I tried to line up the contradictions of the pro-gun lobby’s version of history. This was in reaction to two pro-gun guys being on WBCR Sex and Politics. Last night, we played host to another Second Amendment advocate, and I was able to bring out some of the more nuanced […]

The show will be available shortly on Podcast. And I will be putting up a longer post about this over the weekend. […]

Don’t know much about that Gun thing…
On Thursday (2/7), WBCR‘s Sex and Politics played host to two advocates of full gun rights (aka the status quo) in the aftermath of the attacks at Sandy Hook, Connecticut, Aurora, Colorado, and any number of similar storied recent slaughters of Americans by firearms. I’m not going to re-hash the arguments and counter-arguments made that […]
My WBCR segment that went AWOL
So there we were Thursday night on WBCR, our second segment of 2013. And things were jumpin’. We had discussion about the Barghouti lecture at Brooklyn College about the BDS movement to sanction Israel for its continued ‘Palestinian Apartheid’. The lecture was going on as we broadcast, so getting into the station involved getting past […]
WBCR this week: Sandy relief and the Shock Doctrine
This week on Sex and Politics, I’ll be talking about Occupy Sandy Relief and the growing frustration in the areas hardest hit by the storm at the glacial pace of government response. Six weeks after the storm, thousands of NY residents are still living in homes that don’t have electricity or heat and are suffering […]
