Conversations about the arts' role in the climate crisis
Discussions on ways to communicate about the climate crisis, ways that may bypass the rational, cognitive sides of ourselves. We talk with Stephan Crawford, Executive Producer of The Climate Music Project, about developing and presenting music and its communicative effectiveness about climate change. Our second interview is with Simone Spicer, a sculptor working just outside of Philadelphia, about her approach to environmental art and her relationship to her work.

Dear G-town Radio Friends,
We don’t create radio to raise money – We raise money to create radio! We are in the midst of our year-end fund drive and are hoping we can count on your support. Every dollar donated goes directly towards operating cost so we can continue providing independent, grassroots, non-commercial radio in Northwest Philadelphia.

When you make a gift to G-Town Radio, you:

Cover the growing costs of music licensing fees, rent on the antenna site, and insurance policies, studio rent, and equipment replacement that keep us operating.
Show love to your amazing neighbors who have responded to a difficult year in meaningful ways—leading conversations about racism and injustice, providing comfort or escape with their music and musings, or offering critical information to keep us safe.
Protect our airwaves and media from commercial, capitalistic powers.
Sustain and develop great, original programming that you won’t find anywhere else.

Keep local news and community discussion alive. Help us continue documenting the many stories of Germantown. And much, much more!

We can't thank you enough for supporting your local radio makers and bringing us into your homes.

With deep gratitude,
Tom Casetta, Station Manager
Joanna Wikander, Program Director
The G-Town Radio Board
The G-town Radio Programmers

PODCAST: Listen to our show about some ways to help reduce agriculture GHG, pollution, and feed people better.

11/6/2021

Agriculture is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. We also know that addressing the problems of women and girls would be another one of the best ways to resolve climate change. Here, we consider aspects of both issues. Guests:

Dr. G.V. Subbaraois Senior Researcher & Group Leader for the BNI Research Crop, Livestock & Environment Division of JIRCAS, Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences. He and his team have found a way to introduce biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) into wheat, a solution which could spur a revolution in wheat farming, lower greenhouse gases, and enhance wheat yields.
Mary Hennigan, reported on the under-reported role and problems of women in agriculture for Investigate Midwest
Nina Beryman, Manager of Weaver’s Way farms, who oversees the management of both of the Weaver’s Way Farm sites in NW Philadelphia.
