This month we get into the copious feedback we received from last episode, specifically reflecting on the dissonance between our discussion of sexual assault and two of our past G7 releases.

Next we look at the recent spate of highly-publicized police killings of black men in the United States, and wonder aloud what might be more effective in preventing such extra-judicial murder: police body cameras, or a fundamental power shift in race, policing, and justice?

Then we make the mistake of once again trying to review a Hollywood movie with "Interstellar", but end up on a tangent about our obsession with science fiction and space travel, human triumphalism, alien saviourism, and the barf scene in Team America.

Lastly, in the fourth installment of G7 Radio, we discuss I Spy's 1998 discography "Perversity Is Spreading ... It's About Time"!

After celebrating Winnipeg's triumphant victory as Canada's most racist city, we look at the disconnect between viewing racism as bigoted acts by individuals and seeing it as a colonial system which operates beyond any individual person's attitudes or actions.

We then buckle in for the thrill ride that is the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, offering our official review of Canada's newest national museum: from the wings of the white dove, through the bodegas of despair, and up to the tip of the flume ride and back. 

Lastly, on G7 Radio, we look at Rhythm Activism's strange and amazing 1998 album "Jesus Was Gay".

Well dear listeners, this is it - the final episode of Escape Velocity Radio (for the foreseeable future anyway). And it's not even a real episode. It's about one-tenth of an episode - and even then it barely got made. But we felt that at the very least we owed you 6 more minutes top-drawer† podcasting before we closed this chapter, so here it is. Thanks for listening and for all the support, and we'll see you on the other side.

Episode 29: Escaped Velocity Radio

Launched in August of 2012, and retired in March of 2015, Escape Velocity Radio was a monthly podcast which journeyed into the depths of ethics, politics, culture, music, science, philosophy, professional hockey and the very nature of reality itself. Each month your hosts Derek Hogue and Chris Hannah took you places you wished you hadn’t gone, via interviews with the greatest minds from the realms of music, activism and politics, and via our own unscripted “wisdom”.
