"What We Need Now," the monthly podcast by Greenpeace USA, is where you can learn about the work grassroots leaders are doing from the leaders themselves.

Each episode, the hosts explore a different topic related to the intersections of climate, racial and environmental justice, and our movement for a green and peaceful future, and pass the mic to local leaders who are fighting for the world we want to see. 

Greenpeace is an independent, campaigning organization which uses non-violent, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems, and to force the solutions which are essential to a green and peaceful future.

Each week one of geekdom's sacred cows is put on the chopping block as Jakob and Mandi dissect it with an irreverent and ruthlessly critical eye. Occasionally the cow makes it out unscathed, but even when when the blood of your favourite movie, TV show, book, comic, game, character or pastime is spilled, there's something to laugh about (as they twist the knife).

Old synths, cheap sequencers, noisy effects and busted tape machines. Recorded mostly between 1980 and 1988, with higher-fi, newer stuff being fussed over intermittently. Baked. Hazy. Provocative.




Toadmortons is a Northern California indie rock band, named after an inbred cannibal in Nick Cave’s novel, And the Ass Saw the Angel.

Steve Bryant and Greg Hain formed the Toadmortons after their band Chance the Gardener ("The Day the Dogs Took Over", Warner Brothers Records 1996) ended. Their first effort, "Beware Morton’s Murder Mile" was released on San Francisco's Future Farmer Records in 1999, and was number three most added to college radio in the U.S. in the first week of its radio release.

 Toadmortons’ second record (The Toadmorton’s Collection, Long Live Crime Records, 2004) was a double C.D. containing songs from Beware Morton’s Murder Mile, a previously unreleased album, Shaking the Ghost, and a batch of new songs). The drummer during this period was Jimmy Brasier (who had been the drummer for Sweet Children which later became Green Day).

Bryant put Toadmortons on hiatus in 2004 in order to record and release two records under the name The Universal Steve, "E Pluribus Esteban", Long Live Crime Records, 2004, and "Ryer Island", Broken Halo Records, 2010).

Bryant, Hain, and Edberg reformed Toadmortons in 2012 with Roger Kunkel (Thin White Rope), and John Cypher (Grey Bouquet) and are currently at work on a new recording.
