Episode 21: Australia, plagiarism, addiction, and the end of food

As we return from our extended absence, Chris brings us tales of Propagandhi’s Australian sojourn, including their introduction to the RISE organization, and their time with Sea Shepherd. Then we give our half-a-cent on the plagiarism charges being levelled at Chris Hedges; look at new and probably-terrible ideas to alter how we eat via technology; and relatedly review some feedback on last episode’s interview with Leigh Phillips about GMOs. Lastly, we discuss Dr. Gabor Maté‘s humane yet difficult perspective on the Rob Ford spectacle; and on Kickstarter Corner®, we bring word of Will Potter’s Drone on the Farm project.Episode LinksRISESea ShepherdThe Troubling Case of Chris HedgesChris Hedges Defends Himself Against Accusations of PlagiarismLet’s embrace the end of foodOrganic farming: Environmental impact and emissionsCan Rob Ford Conquer his Pain and Become an Inspiration?Drone on the FarmEpisode MusicRVIVR – The Seam
