Science has given us a realistic picture of what Earth will look like with unmitigated climate change: increased extreme weather events, crippled economies, and a world where those with the least are the hardest hit. What would a radically re-envisioned future look like? What solutions do we need to replace tomorrow’s doom-and-gloom projections with thriving equitable cities, renewed political consciousness, and carbon-free economies? A conversation on reimagining our role in creating climate solutions. 

Guests:
Eric Holthaus, Author, The Future Earth
Katharine Wilkinson, Vice President, Project Drawdown

The Growlers have a sound so unique, they needed to come up with their own genre for it: “beach goth”. The California band originally got together because they were asked to play a house party, and they’ve been making their mix of surf-rock, Americana, and psychedelic music ever since…And, they even launched their own successful music festival, also called Beach Goth. Today, Growlers frontman Brooks Nielsen joins host Raina Douris to talk about the band’s DIY ethos. And we’ll hear a live performance from their new album, Natural Affair. Coming up, on the next World Cafe.

Craig Finn, frontman of The Hold Steady, has released the third album in a series of solo records that’s become a proper trilogy. It’s called I Need A New War. He joins host Stephen Kallao today to discuss why he enjoys working solo, but he’ll also tell a few stories about life on the road with The Hold Steady, including one about their visit to the most unfriendly bar in Montana, according to Craig. He’s a fantastic storyteller in his music, as well, which we’ll get to hear in a live performance from the stage of World Cafe Live.

The Hold Steady’s first album in five years, called Thrashing Through the Passion, is filled with the character studies the band is known for, with stories full of twists and turns. But how they’ve chosen to support the record is new territory; instead of a months-long tour across the U.S., they’re spending multiple nights in select cities – like Chicago, New York, and Seattle – and bringing a communal vibe to the proceedings. We’ll hear about the inspiration for the cast of characters in the new songs, and The Hold Steady perform live. On the next World Cafe.

Also with us is Molly Tuttle, a California native who moved to Nashville a few years ago.

Despite only being in her mid-twenties, she’s already won several awards, including as the first female recipient of the IBMA’s coveted Guitar Player of the Year Award. Rounding out the hour is an award story about a young woman who founded an international online database that connects food donors with organizations that feed the hungry, saving edible food from the landfill in the process.

In July, President Trump spoke on the phone with the president of Ukraine and asked for a "favor" -- for his government to "look into" Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, and his involvement in a Ukrainian business. A whistleblower saw this as an abuse of power and sounded the alarm. And now the acting Director of National Intelligence, Joseph Maguire, has testified before two Congressional committees, defending his handling of the whistleblower complaint. We'll have the latest analysis of Joseph Maguire's day in Congress on the next Morning Edition from NPR News.

Cycles of drought and rain have shaped California life since John Steinbeck’s writing seared the state’s water woes into national consciousness. Amplified by climate change, California and other western states now experience regular weather whiplash, careening between record drought and rainfall every few years.

In his new book The Dreamt Land: Chasing Water and Dust Across California, author Mark Arax reveals the tumultuous history behind the myth of abundance in the Golden State. LA Times reporter Diana Marcum and water expert Faith Kearns explore the complex intersections between drought, climate change, and life in rural California. Can a decades-old distribution system meet the water needs of the future? Will redirecting rivers, drilling deeper wells, and building higher dams quench California’s demand for water? How will the state's robust agricultural economy — one that produces two-thirds of the country’s produce and nuts year-round — survive the next record-breaking drought? A conversation about living the California dream in a drought-prone state.

Guests:
Mark Arax, Author, The Dreamt Land: Chasing Water and Dust Across California
Faith Kearns, Scientist, California Institute for Water Resources
Diana Marcum, Reporter, Los Angeles Times

Every day, money changes hands in Ghanaian cedi, South African rand, and Brazilian real as music is created, traded, performed, purchased and pirated. In this episode we look at the business side of African music, through a series of vignettes from around the continent and diaspora that illuminate the deep connections between musical creation and the economies that sustain it. We start with the story of how cellphones are transforming Africa's music industries. Then, we see how economic competition drove the creation of Colombian champeta music. We take a look at the role of copyright in Jamaican dancehall, and follow the legal struggle over royalties from "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" in South Africa.
