  • SSVH: Episode 14

    This morning on the Sweet and Sour Variety Hour was a melding of different things…

    We heard music from Massive Attack, Ween and lots by Ratatat.  A TEDxTalk by the “Earth’s Lawyer” Polly Higgins on her proposal to the UN for designating “Ecocide” a real crime. After that we heard the second episode of Foodocracy Now! The Fruit and Veggie Report with Dallas Collis that included a phone interview with Dirk Becker of Compassion Farm.
