David Sirota challenged us this week to truly see America the way we will be played out in the annals of history: will the United States of America be seen like ancient Rome, where it began as a constitutional republic, only to become the most notorious empire of all time? We’ll discuss that, then we will take a critical look at Journalism with the help of the Guardian’s piece on Seymour Hersh’s views on where the fourth estate is today, and where it needs to be. Finally, as TMI with Aldous Tyler is the Cure for the Common Media, we’ll delve into two scientific breakthrough stories that mainstream media seems to have virtually ignored, both of which hold tremendous promise for our future. All that and more today on TMI – catch it live at Noon Central on WSUM 91.7FM in Madison, or stream it via the options on the Listen page.

Colorado has had the flood of the century, only the problem is, this is likely to happen again, and not in the too-distant future. More, the waters’ devastation isn’t the only concern. But a recent study shows global warming has slowed, so everything’s going to be okay right? Yeah not so much. Then:

What can be wrong with increasing food safety regulations?  After all, a believer in good government like myself should be trumpeting the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), right?  I would, if it didn’t appear to contain provisions that benefit corporate factory farms and CFOs over family farms and ranches. Finally:

Faced with another bout of mass violence, a new deadly rampage at a naval yard has us wondering where does it all stem from, and how can we help stop it?  While I’m a supporter of gun control, you may be surprised at some of the answers I believe are more relevant to the problem. All that and more today at noon on TMI. Listen on WSUM 91.7 FM in Madison, or go to the Listen page to stream it live online anywhere!

Now that we’ve had a bigger about-face than could have been expected on our planned missile strikes against Syria, we can all just relax, right? If only that were so: Russian President Vladimir Putin wrote an op-ed in the New York Times, managing to speak many uncomfortable truths, several hypocritical passages and a couple outright lies, all packaged in a way guaranteed to ensure that most Americans would reject it all outright. The sad fact is, he had a few important points that you really should consider. Too bad he’s such a poor vehicle for the truth.

On top of that, We have fast-food workers striking for $15/hour. What would a world look like that had that happen in it? We’ll discuss it, and also check in on other aspects of income inequality. Oh, and that Google search you did last night on bondage rope and explosives?  That might not have actually been Google. All that and more today, Saturday the 14th of September on TMI – catch it on WSUM 91.7FM in Madison or use the Listen page to stream or podcast it!

Today we have two interviews you simply haven’t heard before: first, we are joined by Al Suarez, who has just released a collection of essays on his time in the Occupy movement, “Solidarity Forever? The Struggles of an Occupier”. We’ll discuss how the movement had its rough spots and what hope lies for its future. Then we’ll meet Randall Olsen, who is gearing up to challenge Tea Party incumbent Adam Kinzinger in Illinois’ 16th Congressional District – all that and more this Saturday, August 17th at Noon Central on WSUM 91.7 FM and streaming live via the many options on TMI’s Listen page – catch it!
