Thousands of gallons of oil continue to gush out of an uncapped oil well in the Gulf of Mexico as the companies responsible go to Washington to point fingers and place blame. BP blames Transocean. Transocean blames Haliburton. Haliburton blames BP.

Joining host Daphne Wysham in our Washington, DC studios to discuss the disaster and its effects both on the Gulf and in Washington is Nick Berning of Friends of the Earth, Bill Snape of the Center for Biological Diversity and David Helvarg, the president of the Blue Frontier Campaign.

Then a discussion with David Helvarg about his new book Saved by the Sea: A Love Story with Fish.

Music in this week’s edition of the show is ‘One Life’ by New Orleans music legend Kermit Ruffins. Our theme music is Baladi by Tony Anka, Bellydance Superstars vol. 2.
