Episode 16: We Steal Secrets: The (Unpaid) Story of Antibiotic Resistance

While on a short break from our clandestine preparations for liberating Santa’s reindeer from chattel slavery, we recount some of the feedback we received on last month’s Chris Hedges interview. Then we review Alex Gibney’s documentary We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks; do what may be our first ever science segment, about the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the coming post-antibiotic age; and have our plans for an Escape Velocity Radio intern dashed by Charles Davis’ article about poorly-paid (and unpaid) interns, “The Exploited Labourers of the Liberal Media”.Episode LinksLosing Moses on the FreewayWe Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaksWe Steal Secrets: Alex Gibney, WikiLeaks, & Julian AssangeWe Steal Secrets: A response from Alex GibneyAntibiotic resistance threats in the United States, 2013How Industrial Agriculture Has Thwarted Factory Farm ReformsImagining the Post-Antibiotics FutureThe Exploited Labourers of the Liberal MediaEpisode MusicSlapshot – Punk’s Dead, You’re NextLiving Colour – Cult of PersonalityChristmas in the Stars – What Can You Get a Wookiee for Christmas (When He Already Owns a Comb?)
