It’s always a delight when an old friend shows up in town. Today comedian Jessica Halem joins us to talk about living in New Orleans after the devastation of hurricane Katrina and the impact of the BP Ecological disaster.
Jessica is touring through out the country with her hilarious one woman show. Catch it if you can!
Listen as we talk with Jessica about life in New Orleans, Michigan Womyn’s Fest and her upcoming show in Provincetown.
Plus all the hot hews:
The BP ecological and public relations disaster continues as not just one, but TWO images bubble up to the surface showing the oil giant trying to manipulate the public by releasing poorly doctored images of their employees working to solve the crisis. Listen up BP- you can’t photoshop your problems away- only celebrities can do that!
Cab drivers beware! Michael L Jackson, the former Chicago Dept. of Health employee nicknamed “The King of Meth” might be getting out of jail early for good behavior. Jackson was convicted of murder after running over a Chicago cab driver with the cabbies’ own car in 2005.
What’s new Buenos Aries? Just a little bit of Marriage Equality. Same-Sex Marriage is now legal in Argentina. Will the ban on Madonna be lifted next?
A dog named Christine Brinkley, Trans/Jews, and Lindsay Lohan is in prison. Is nobody safe?

Absolutely loved the show with Jessica. She is hilarious, hope she can be on the show more often.
After the BP disaster everyone should finally realize the area of cheap oil which our economy depends on is about to end in the near future. Of course there are still other oil fields but they are not as large as the enormous oil fields in Saudi Arabia which have already peaked and it is more expensive to access new oil fields. The largest oil field was discovered in 1965! Although the economy still hasn’t recovered fully we have an oil prize of about $80 Dollar per barrel. At price of about $100 per barrel most airlines have already trouble, at a price of about $120 per barrel many airlines will go bankrupt. But an oil price of about $200 per barrel and higher is very likely within the next 6 or 8 years as demand is increasing much faster than supply.
Here is an interesting documentary about the end of cheap oil:

The biggest injustice in the world is that you guys don’t have your own tv/radio show. Thank god for podcasts!
Dirty and delicious.
GREAT show! you covered so many topics AND i laughed my ass off.
very interesting points about oil…i feel very strongly that we should drill domestically. We have the environmental regulations that minimize disasters. Unlike Ecuador and Nigeria, just to mention two countries suffering environmental damages every year. We’re essentially exporting our pollution. the easiest solution that would wean us off oil and generate innovation is a $2-$3/gallon tax on gas. anyone else with me? even Finland, a huge oil exporter, taxes gas heavily: a gallon of gas is ~$6/gallon ($1.50/liter).
anyone with me? while we’re at it, lets stop subsidizing corn and rice and start subsidizing fresh veggies and fruit!
if you talk about sex that much it really means your not getting any Jessica.
