#13 Mind Games
All facts are not equal. The same goes for opinions. But it’s wrong to weaponize either of them — that’s disinformation. This episode tackles the topic with fantasy, black comedy, an unflinching look at what really happened in Crimea and Ukraine, and thoughts on why some progressives have trouble responding to what Putin has been doing. With theme music from The Untouchables and David Frye as Henry Fonda and Richard Nixon.

#12 Planet Pacifica: Identity Crisis
Progressive Media’s Fragile Democracy: After decades of struggle at Pacifica Radio over the control of local stations and program content, suspicion and distrust have led to hostile factions, crisis management, repeated lawsuits, and a byzantine, burdensome structure that has proven almost impossible to sustain. In this episode, Pacifica’s last decade — management fights, national collapse and succession struggles, along with news, comedy and history excepts from the 2006 network series, Informed Dissent.

#11 Planet Pacifica: Growing Pains
Progressive Media’s Fragile Democracy: The original idea was to nurture an open exchange of ideas that could help people come to know each other as human beings, dialogue that demonstrated the possibility of peace. But over 50 years Pacifica Radio evolved into something else: a national progressive radio network, a source of “alternative” news and viewpoints, and a platform for many underserved constituencies. In this episode, Lew Hill and how KPFA began, WBAI’s legendary “free form” past, and early shots in the community’s civil war. Plus, Dustin Hoffman reading part of War and Peace in 1970, sounds from the 1979 March for Gay...

#10 Planet Pacifica: Managing Chaos
Progressive Media’s Fragile Democracy: Pacifica Radio, the original listener-supported network, is hovering on the edge of insolvency, while legendary station WBAI is under siege. It’s happened before. But this could be the end. What does it say about progressive media and democracy? Former CEO Greg Guma begins a new series that goes behind the headlines. In this episode, the latest WBAI shutdown, Dan Coughlin’s journey, and the struggle that remade Pacifica governance. Plus, clips from the 2006 election series, Informed Dissent, and from a rare 1970 “War and Peace” recording, with dozens of famous voices — part of the longest live reading...

#9 Orwellian Days
Are we at the threshold of fascism? And if so, is there a way out, and enough time to save the environment, reclaim self-government, restore communities and protect human rights? Maybe. But we already know that it’s been coming for a while. Like a castaway in a sci fi novel, Greg was once transported to such an Orwellian future and lived to tell the tale. In this episode, he recreates the experience, and looks at the real and present danger that concepts like freedom and equality will be distorted by an updated Newspeak, a Trumpian version promoted by the ad...

#8 Watergate Blues
Impeachment. It’s happened before. But after Nixon was gone, and especially after his hand-picked successor Gerald Ford pardoned him, a deep disillusionment set in. Unfortunately, we may be headed there again. In 1974, after watching the Watergate hearings for months, only to have Nixon and Ford sidestep accountability and undermine justice, Greg was in a funk. Then he heard that Ford would be visiting Vermont. Here’s what happened, sort of, on the night he went presidential party crashing.

Inquisitions - An Audio Drama - Act 3
When national security and civil liberties are at odds, fundamental rights are often undermined or violated. “Inquisitions (and Other Un-American Activities)” explores this theme through dramatic recreations of the Haymarket bombing in Chicago and other crackdowns on dissent. In Act 3, the Haymarket trial concludes as capitalist oligarchs celebrate on a surrealistic dream train. Before her interrogation ends Lucy Parsons remembers her fight for clemency and the unjust hanging of her husband and comrades. Written by Greg Guma, directed by Bill Boardman, and produced by Catalyst Theatre. Restored version.

Edgar Hoover — as she defends her controversial life. Written by Greg Guma, directed by Bill Boardman, and produced by Catalyst Theatre.

When national security and civil liberties are at odds, fundamental rights are often undermined or violated. “Inquisitions (and Other Un-American Activities)” explores this theme through a dramatic recreation of the Haymarket bombing in Chicago and other crackdowns on dissent. With the FBI interrogation of activist Lucy Parsons in 1919 at its center, Act 1 takes listeners back to the birth of the movement for an eight-hour workday and the resulting violence in 1886 Chicago. Written for radio by Greg Guma, directed by Bill Boardman, and produced by Catalyst Theatre.

#7 Doomsday Scenarios
There are so many stories about the end of civilization, too many to list, maybe too many for our health. It could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. In this episode, Greg assesses our worst presidents — the real and the imagined, and our obsession with the end of everything, or a new dark age if we’re lucky. With scenes from the Mercury Theatre’s classic alien invasion on the radio. Theme music by Dave Lippman.

This episode looks at culture war and progressive values, Bernie Sanders’ campaign chest, lost horizons at Pacifica Radio and Burlington College, resistance to the F-35s, and learning to live with the unexpected. With theme music by Dave Lippman.

Prisoners of the Real: From Here to Paradise
Prisoners of the Real: From Here to Paradise — A sound and thought odyssey. Recorded and broadcast in 1991 for the radio series World Scene, this unique program incorporates ideas from Greg’s book, Prisoners of the Real, synthesized with jazz, folk, and world music. It’s message: If human society is to be rescued and transformed, moving from the “rational” to the Dionysian, many of our psychic road maps have to be redrawn. The capacity for liberation is a latent possibility. But it may or may not become real. But one necessary step is honest reflection concerning our basic assumptions about ourselves...

#2 Mayors, Women and the Vermont Men’s Club
Two mayors, pioneer women, and the Vermont Men’s Club: “The three-member Vermont congressional delegation is all male — and always has been. No woman has ever represented the state in Washington, DC. And only one has been governor. Unfortunately, it’s an old story.” In this episode, Greg talks about the oldest private men’s club in Vermont — state politics. Also, more thoughts and recollections from the years between Bernie Sanders’ four terms as mayor of Burlington and the Democrats’ return to power in 2012, including the rise and fall of Instant Runoff Voting.
