Download Hour1 Download Hour2This week on the show we look at energy and especially oil.

We start the show with an interview of Julian Darley by Matt Soltys in Guelph, who explains Peak Oil. As well as speaking of the geology and geography of the phenomenon, he addresses the social aspects, and remarks that he regards capitalism as "the worst system which has been foisted on the planet". In our second hour, after the end of the Julian Darley interview, and a David Rovics song, we hear Charles Stevens speaking at the first conference of Peak Oil and community solutions. An anthropologist, he speaks about the 'new agrarian movement' which connects to a vision of what never was, but whose time might have come.
Music: David Rovics
