MICHAEL MOSLEY CHECKS IN

** "I'm an actor, they tell me what pants to wear and where to stand - but as far as the corruption and commercialization of sports, it's just part of our culture..."

Michael Mosley Talks Signing Tony Raymond, Ballard, The Savant...Mosley is our guest on the show, in a conversation about his latest film during this football season, a satire delving into what the corporate exploitation of US sports and targeted young athletes is really all about.

Along with the character he portrays in Signing Tony Raymond, a shady college recruiter ruthlessly competing with 'all these guys sniffing around in their khaki pants and whistles around their necks - all sniffing around to pull this kid in one direction or another...'

And the actor's venture into directing as well, with 'No Room For Groceries' - along with revisiting memories of his small town Iowa 'cool band, we wore black clothes, got our ears pierced, and tried to be all scary...!

** "The mentality in the West - that all you've got to do is punch somebody in the face..."

Pacifica Host Garland Nixon on what we're supposed to think right now, the neo-con version; the US oil puppets; reading comprehension - and Trump sticking his chest out at a press conference..."

** "It never feels good sending out money to the federal government around this time of year - but it has never felt so bad as it does today..."

Writers Corner: We Had It Coming - A Luke O'Neil reading, storytelling on steroids. And 'how do you write fiction when the horrors of the present world outstrip what our imaginations imagine' - while 'trying to figure out how to deal with the helplessness and terror that makes a mockery of any John Wayne or Ernest Hemingway definition of manhood...'

Plus...Venezuela, ICE, Greenland...
