 How have women fared in revolutionary Iran, and what is their role in the current upheavals there?  Is the movement for gay marriage going to make gays and lesbians conform to traditional family values?  What will it take to make our health care system, corrupted by profit, work to keep us healthy?  And can capitalism save our planet?  These are the leading questions discussed on this show, hosted by the Old Mole's Denise Morris, pictured here.  

To hear the whole show, use the play button above.  To hear individual pieces and find lots more information, follow the links below:

1.  Dr. Paul Hochsfeld discusses the "health care industry" and how it must be fixed.  

2.  Frann Michel suggests that the gay marriage movement undermines the radical message of the GLBT struggle for equality.

3.  Catherine Sameh lays out the complexities of being female in Iran.

4.  Robin Hahnel shows the limits of capitalist solutions to the environmental crisis.

 Our theme "Mole in the Ground" is a medley of an old (1924) version by Bascom Lamar Lunsford and a new one by dj/rupture, sung by Sindhu Zagoren.  It's on the album Special Gunpowder
