Suspect SocietyThe Surveillance Society. The New Authoritarianism. The Age of Paranoid Politics.

Fear and suspicion have become the order of the day. We are living in what IDEAS producer Mary O’Connell calls “the suspect society.”http://podcast.cbc.ca/mp3/ideas_20080915_6828.mp3Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

The Long DescentKMO welcomes author and Archdruid, John Michael Greer, to the program to discuss his new book The Long Descent: A User’s Guide to the End of the Industrial Age and explore the possibility that Peak Oil may play out more like a fall down the stairs than like a plunge from a third floor balcony.

Pond Scum Powerhttp://www.cbc.ca/quirks/media/2008-2009/mp3/qq-2008-10-04_01.mp3
Pond scum may not be pretty to look at, but some scientists think it may be a beautiful solution to our energy needs. Over the past few years, we've devoted a lot of effort to developing biofuels from plant crops like corn and soy. But these crops take up lots of land and use a lot of water - resources we need for food production. It also takes a lot of fossil fuels to farm biofuels, so they're not nearly as green as we once ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
