Plenty of white noise and distraction in the 21st century podcasting world. Cutting through the clutter are two of our weekly favorites – Jeremy Scahill’s INTERCEPTED and Mickey Huff and Peter Phillips’ PROJECT CENSORED. In his latest, Scahill chronicles the POTUS as “Distractor in Chief,” breaks down US imperialism, proxy wars and beyond in the Middle East, and asks tough questions of the US of Empire. Meanwhile, on KPFA/Pacifica Radio, Huff interviews Vermont’s own nuclear activist husband and wife team, Maggie and Arne Gundersen, about their work in challenging the hegemony of one of the world most powerful industries, as well as updating us on the latest surrounding the Fukushima disaster in Japan.
