It's story time on Mic Check Radio this week. While this is a follow up to the We're So Fucked episode from two weeks ago, the bulk of this show is a reading which diagnoses just how fucked we human beings are by the industrial-technological system that we human beings have created...and what some potential options are for dealing with this system.

Local Sports, Fantasy Leagues and Lingerie Football

As the sports world gears up for the bread and circus spectacle of Super Bowl XLVIII, we take a look at the benefits and importance of sports on a local level-where, unlike the NFL, it isn't ruled by money and corporate sponsorships. Then we take a quick look at what sports fans could be doing with their time, brains and energy instead of "playing" fantasy sports. And finally, at the end of the show, we play some audio from a "news report" on the Legends Football League (aka Lingerie Football League) and how the corporate media once again asks all the wrong questions.

Russian Federation Homophobia and the Sochi Winter Olympic

On this episode we take a closer look at the so called 'Russian Anti-Gay Laws' with the help of a very insightful white paper - Russian Federation Anti Gay Laws: An Analysis and Deconstruction by Brian M. Heiss. Why are these laws getting so much corporate media coverage? Is it all just to remind people to tune into the Winter Olympics and by Coke and Nike products? Is it possibly a distraction story so no one investigates the most expensive and corrupt Winter Olympics in history? After we discuss these cynical questions, we take a quick look around the Middle East and Africa to see if there are any other countries whose anti-gay laws could stand some scrutiny by our oh-so-concerned corporate media. And while we're looking into anti-gay laws and anti-gay hate crime statistics, it's always a good idea to check in here at home and see how the United States is faring. (Hint: it's no better than Russia. In fact, it's a lot worse in some areas). [Click to Listen]
