34. Preventing Maternal Deaths During Childbirth in Ethiopia

Fri, 05/29/2026 - 5:30pm | Dr. Shaikh

A mother dies from preventable causes related to pregnancy or childbirth every two minutes. We have the medical knowledge about what works to prevent these avoidable deaths. So why do they still occur? Explore the global maternal mortality crisis and the three delays that turn a joyful event into a tragedy. Abebe Alene tells us how Dessie Hospital in Ethiopia halved its maternal deaths. We talk about simplifying birthing workflows in hospitals, standardizing lifesaving medical procedures, the life-saving power of midwives, and the role of paid maternity leave policies.

Listening Lyrics, May 29, 2026: With Karl Rasmussen, joyfulness is a Big Sticky Mess

Fri, 05/29/2026 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

When it comes to guests, Karl Rasmussen is definitely on the “A” list. He’s articulate, thoughtful, full of energy, and brings the kind of warmth and enthusiasm that leaves an impression on everyone he meets.

Karl is a true multi-instrumentalist—equally at home on guitar, keyboards, trombone, percussion, and vocals. He’s a driving force in Davis/Sacramento’s own Big Sticky Mess, a band with deep local roots and a sound often described as a joyful blend of early-’70s funk, soul, and rock—full of groove, humor, and heart.

Beyond Big Sticky Mess, Karl has lent his talents to a wide range of Northern California bands and projects, including Boca do Rio, ideateam, and several jazz and funk collaborations. No matter the setting or style, one thing always comes through: Karl loves making music and loves sharing it with others.
