The Global Research News Hour this week will fight back against the State’s propaganda drive. In our first half hour, we are talking to two allies and friends, Chris Cook, the host of “Gorilla-Radio” and Phil Taylor, host of The Taylor Report on the different issues we are all covering that confront people in the peace movement in 2025. In our second half hour, we speak about the importance of keeping our fora on campus-community radio stations alive and well when all the state and corporate media have developed into George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth. As well, I invite Jazmin Alfaro, a former radio host of CKUW, onto the show to talk about the merits of doing this kind of journalism for herself and for her listeners. This was a LIVE episode of the Global Research News Hour. It was part of our annual fund-raiser for the station.

Tune in to Global Research News Hour for a weekly deep dive into the stories and perspectives often overlooked by mainstream headlines. Host Michael Welch guides each episode with a careful, analytical approach, bringing forward voices from independent journalists, researchers, and activists from around the world. This isn't about quick soundbites; it's about substantive conversations that unpack the complex geopolitical and economic forces shaping our current moment. You'll hear detailed discussions on international conflicts, corporate power, social movements, and environmental crises, all framed within a critical context that challenges conventional narratives. The podcast dedicates itself to connecting dots across borders, offering listeners a more nuanced understanding of global events. Each installment of this news-focused program is built on thorough investigation and a commitment to presenting information that empowers rather than simply informs. If you're seeking an alternative to superficial news cycles and want to engage with the underlying realities of world affairs, Michael Welch's consistent and probing work provides a valuable resource. Settle in for an hour of content that prioritizes depth and clarity, making Global Research News Hour a distinct voice in the landscape of current affairs commentary.
