Chicago Denver Episode Google ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) Jacksonville LGBTQ+ Listener Email Monopoly WSUM

TMI 09/05/2025 – No LGBT Movement Without Trans Voices, Google’s Hollow Monopoly Loss, Protests Erupt Nationwide, more

We begin this episode with a direct response to a listener email regarding trans inclusion, providing a necessary history lesson that proves there is absolutely no LGBT movement without trans people. Then, we look at Big Tech, explaining how Google managed to win while losing—a judge officially ruled them an illegal monopoly, but the proposed remedy completely fails to do anything about it.

Next, we aim to give fresh insights into the growing national unrest. We report on the massive protests against Federal troops and anti-labor policies erupting simultaneously in Chicago, Jacksonville, and Denver. All this and more on TMI for Friday, September 5, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

Chicago Climate Episode John Fugelsang KeystoneXL Media Sociology Steve Horn WSUM

TMI 3/29/2014: Fugelsang on the Media, Horn on Energy, Aldous on Fire and More!

TMI today is on fire! Joining us live in studio are two friends of the program we’re proud to welcome back: John Fugelsang, frequent commentator on life’s absurdities and former host of Current TV’s Viewpoint, and Steve Horn, investigative journalist and research fellow at DeSmogBlog.

John always has great insights into how humanity seems to stumble into itself and even better suggestions on how to keep that from happening, and today we will talk about media and politics: how too often it seems the media seeks to divide and scare us of each other, rather than inform us about what’s happening! John always gives great conversation, so don’t miss it!

Steve will delve into the waters of Lake Michigan near Chicago to show us the latest on what exactly BP spilled there, and how much of it was released, and what kind of danger this may put the Windy City’s drinking supply in. Then, he’ll bring to light the energy export congressional hearings that happened this week, at which discussion of climate change was conspicuously absent.

All that and more today on TMI with Aldous Tyler at noon Central on WSUM 91.7FM in Madison, or streaming live audio via http://wsum.org!
