Dear Friends,

I’m cutting back on blog content this month, but the show must go on.

So, I hope you’ll listen to our weekly program, either on one of the community-owned stations that run the Fallon Forum (see the list, below), or to our PODCAST.

Feedback always welcome, and every email or phone call gets a personal response.

I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to support local, independent, genuine (i.e., not generated by AI robots) media like the Fallon Forum.

We run a tight ship, and if you’d like to donate to support our work, we’ll be grateful for whatever you can chip in. We don’t use services like PayPal, Swipe, or Stripe, because we don’t want some billionaire taking a cut of your contribution. And we don’t like what most billionaires are doing to our environment, our economy, and our democracy.

So, if you value what we do — and we know you do, well, at least most of you (hi trolls!) — please send a check to:

The Fallon Forum
735 19th Street
Des Moines, Iowa 50314

This week’s topics are:

(01:25) The DNC’s belated autopsy misses the mark
(20:35) Climate update
(35:07) Trump overplays his hand
(45:36) June garden Q & A, with Kathy Byrnes

Thanks for reading, listening, and taking action. And if you’re an Iowa resident, remember to support the businesses and nonprofits who help underwrite this platform. They are:

Gateway Market and Cafe, Story County Veterinary Clinic, Westrum Optometry, David Drake Family Psychiatry, Architecture By Synthesis, Real Estate Agent Joe Henry, Circle of Peace Makers, Iowa Physicians for Social Responsibility, Bold Iowa, Birds & Bees Urban Farm, and Climate March.
