Peter and Mickey open the program with a wide-ranging conversation with
long-time social justice activist Medea Benjamin; the discussion covers
topics from trade deals to drone warfare, as well as her latest project
of trying to alert Americans about the human rights abuses committed by
US ally Saudi Arabia. In the second half of the show, Peter and Mickey
speak with nuclear-power whistleblower Arnie Gunderson, who recently
returned from a visit to Fukushima, Japan; he warns that radioactive
contamination is now pervasive in the Fukushima area, but the Japanese
government is trying to avoid addressing the health issues.
