A wonderful, funny, and informative as well, interview with Jennifer Welch of the I've Had It! podcast. The interview ranges from such topics as mega church grifters to the feckless Dem Party establishment to the domestic arrangements of House Speaker Mike Johnson.

For a first-hand account of what is happening in Gaza, please listen to Dr. Mohammed Mustafa, an Australian-Palestinian pediatrician who has been working in Gaza, treating children. His description of what is happening to children there is heartbreaking.

@theguardian.com said "at least 30" on July 30; @reuters.com said 14 on July 22.

The very first program on Classical And a Bit More, my classical music program on Radio Free Brooklyn.
