Welcome to Thinkwing Radio with Mike Honig (@ThinkwingRadio), a listener call-in show (every Monday night from 9-10PM CT) on KPFT-FM 90.1 (Houston). My engineer and discussion partner is Egberto Willies (@EgbertoWillies).
For the purposes of this show, I operate on two mottoes:
You’re entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts;
An educated electorate is a prerequisite for a democracy.
GUESTS: (More complete biographical info on my guests are below Source links.)
Rene’ Lara, Legislative and Political Director of theTexas AFL-CIO, which is a federation of public-sector and private-sector labor unions in Texas, including affiliates representing teachers, firefighters, plumbers, flight attendants, steelworkers, nurses, communications and electrical workers, and many others.(See more complete bio below topical links)

POSSIBLE TOPICS: Unions and Labor Day, and the future of the labor movement in America
“Without the labor advances won by #Unions, #Capitalism itself might not exist today.” ~ Me
Let’s talk first about Labor Day. How was it created, and why is it in September instead of May Day, like the rest of the world’s equivalent labor celebrations?
The Labor Union movement was strong after WW2. What happened to weaken it?
Conservatives have succeeded in villainizing unions in the minds of many workers. How have they accomplished that?
How can it be reversed?
“We continually try to read Conservatives through Liberal-colored glasses. When we try to see things as Conservatives see them through their own eyes, understanding can arise. From that understanding can come effective Progressive responses.” ~ Michael R. Honig, 4/28/2015 (inspired by Jackson Galaxy)
Is that a trick that progressives and labor groups need to try to learn, and can they?
Is the political labor pendulum beginning to swing the other way now?
Judging from the current political and legal climate, it almost seems like labor organizing needs to start over again.
What will labor organizing look like as the 21st century progresses?
I loved this quote: “We feel that the group’s tactics are over the top,” said Carol Wight, chief executive of the New Mexico Restaurant Association. “I think there are nicer, more effective ways of getting what you want — achieving justice for workers.”
The article makes 2 important points:
Unions, at least in New Mexico, have not shown much interest in organizing low-wage workers;
“Workers Committees” are easier to organize than unions.
What does this development mean for workers in the future?
What does it mean for unions going forward?
Unions need money to do their work, whether it’s paying full-time officials, forming strike funds or funding political action.
Can unions survive in their current form, and if so, how?
If unions have to change, what might those changes look like?
Specifically, does the AFL-CIO and it’s brother and sister unions have new strategies going forward that we can discuss here tonight?

Starting Monday, 14 August, KPFT will welcome Roark Smith back to Wide Open Spaces from 9am to noon, along with several other improvements to our schedule grid. These changes are to serve our listeners better, help people find the type of programs they are looking for, and to build a wider and larger audience for KPFT’s volunteer-produced community radio format, and ultimately to be more successful at paying our bills with on-air fundraising.
Listening blocks are now more consistent from day to day. Noon to 2pm we present a musical strip of popular music programs including Jazz Latino and the award-winning south Asian DJ program Generasian Radio. 4pm to 6pm weekdays KPFT presents a drive-time music block comprised of some of our most popular weekday music shows- including Blues in Hi-Fi, Sound Awake, and Border Radio, to name a few.
KPFT Local News moves to a morning news incarnation at 8am called KPFT News First Look, Open Journal moves to a weekly spot every 6pm on Mondays, where it joins a 6pm lineup including Nuestra Palabra, Arab Voices, Living Art, and Her Sex/Her Health. 7pm welcomes Tell The World on Wednesdays, to complement The Monitor, Coming to America, Progressive Forum, and Thresholds on the other days of the week at 7pm. Later evenings continue to host diverse information programs before giving way to eclectic music and other programmings through the night.
The morning lineup now presents the Thom Hartmann Show at 5am, followed by a rebroadcast of an hour of our most popular weekend shows at 6am. Then, Democracy Now with Amy Goodman remains a 7am staple, before we go full circle with KPFT News First Look at 8am. KPFT’s Voices program will no longer be heard at 9am.
Thanks for all you do to help keep listener-supported, volunteer-driven KPFT alive and well as we work together in our diversity to move towards a solid future for our station.
Last Tuesday (April 25, 2017) at about 8 PM CT, I was driving up to Bryan-College Station for some business and happened to hear the beginning of the show “Xpress with Dr. X, M.D” Radio show` on KAMU-FM, a service of Texas A&M University. I’m not often moved to call in to radio shows, but he started with stories about some email problems he recently had and then got into Trump, so you know I had to call. They picked up my line as I was around the corner from my destination, so I had to stop. I’m usually the radio host these days, so calling in is a different kind of fun for me.
The pick up my call at the 20:40 mark, but you might want to start about 5-10 minutes before that so you can hear his email story and get some context.
Apr 25, 2017Xpress with Dr. X, M.D. 303nd Program – Ethics of using social media to publicly attach people and financial implications of doing so. The ethics of Medical Errors are the number 3 cause of U.S. deaths, Ethics of marrying an Amnesiac.

The “Commander” drone in “Space Junk: Do People Dream of Electric Children?“
By Josh Watkins
We hear it all the time, “a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…” Sounds familiar, right? That familiarity fades away in Space Junk: Do People Dream of Electric Children? Mel Petersen, founder of Amatol Productions, is revolutionizing stage productions. As Amatol’s first interdisciplinary theater production, Space Junk is a one-act sci-fi comedy that “bills itself as the world’s first drone play.”
“Space Junk utilizes drone technology to create a new form of puppeteering,” Petersen explains. There will be no actors found on stage, but instead, local artists will operate the drones as puppeteers while unseen voice actors bring the dialogue to life.

Justice Dept. opens civil rights probe into police shooting of Zachary Hammond, By Sarah Kaplan August 13: Three weeks after Zachary Hammond was shot and killed by police in a drug bust in a Hardee’s parking lot in South Carolina, federal officials have launched a civil rights investigation into his death. Hammond’s death fit the profile of many other officer-involved shootings that have made headlines this year. He was said to be unarmed and was initially approached by police for a relatively minor offense — possession of a small amount of marijuana. But Hammond was also white, and his parents have wondered if that fact might explain why their son’s death didn’t initially provoke the same outrage as similar shootings involving African Americans.[An ‘unarmed’ white teen was shot dead by police. His family asks: Where is the outrage?]
Superconductivity record sparks wave of follow-up physics: Researchers strive to reproduce and understand landmark result, by Edwin Cartlidge (17 August 2015): Hydrogen sulfide — the compound responsible for the smell of rotten eggs — conducts electricity with zero resistance when samples of hydrogen sulfide are subjected to extremely high pressures — around 1.5 million atmospheres at a record high temperature of “only” 203o kelvin (–70 °C), reports a paper published today in Nature1. This is great news, except for 22,500,000 lbs/sq.inch and the terrible odor of rotten eggs.
End of seat wars? Legroom adjustable seat can be shifted for passenger size, Published August 10, 2015 (FoxNews): The seats will all have moveable wheels & sit on rail tracks lining the aircraft floor. If a taller man or woman is seated in front of a child, for example, the cabin crew will have the ability to move an occupant’s seat several inches back via smartphone or tablet, allowing for extra legroom. But the new invention may require passengers to inform airlines of their height at check-in meaning some may fudge the numbers to secure more seat space. Also, ‘pitch’ is controlled entirely at discretion of flight crew.
Clothing, shoes, furniture, even toilet seats are getting bigger. Why are airplane seats getting smaller?
I originally had a completely different show planned for Thinkwing Radio on Monday 8/17, but I held over the guest from Queer Voices (Kristina Tutt, LMSW) so we could talk about shyness, self-consciousness, social phobias, and how to overcome them.
