Dancing Black, Dancing White: Rock 'n' Roll, Race, and Youth Culture of the 1950s and Early 1960s (Oxford University Press, 2023) offers a new look at the highly popular phenomenon of the televised teen dance program. These teen shows were incubators of new styles of social and popular dance and both reflected and shaped pressing social issues of the day. Often referred to as "dance parties," the televised teen dance shows helped cultivate a nascent youth culture in the post-World War II era. The youth culture depicted on the shows, however, was primarily white. Black teenagers certainly had a youth culture of their own, but the injustice was glaring: Black culture was not always in evident display on the airwaves, as television, like the nation at large, was deeply segregated and appealed to a primarily white, homogenous audience.  The crux of the book, then, is twofold: to explore how social and popular dance styles were created and disseminated within the new technology of television and to investigate how the shows both reflected and re-affirmed the racial politics and attitudes of the time. The story of televised teen dance told here is about Black and white teenagers wanting to dance to rock 'n' roll music despite the barriers placed on their ability to do so. It is also a story that fuses issues of race, morality, and sexuality. Dancing Black, Dancing White weaves together these elements to tell two stories: that of the different experiences of Black and white adolescents and their desires to have a space of their own where they could be seen, heard, appreciated, and understood.

- Earl Gillespie - Blaine WalshThe Milwaukee Braves of the 1950s were one of the National League's most formidable and exciting teams, known for their powerful lineup, dominant pitching, and passionate fan base. After relocating from Boston to Milwaukee in 1953, the franchise quickly became a central force in the leagueThe move sparked a surge in attendance, with fans packing County Stadium and giving the team one of the most loyal followings in baseball at the time. Led by a core of future Hall of Famers—Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, and Warren Spahn—the Braves combined offensive firepower with a reliable pitching staff. Aaron and Mathews consistently ranked among the league leaders in home runs and RBIs, while Spahn remained a workhorse on the mound, racking up wins well into his late 30s. The peak of the decade came in 1957, when the Braves won the World Series, defeating the New York Yankees in seven games. They returned to the Fall Classic in 1958 but fell short in a rematch with the Yankees. Throughout the decade, the Braves remained contenders, often finishing near the top of the standings and challenging the National League's elite. By the end of the 1950s, the team was still strong but beginning to show signs of transition. While the stars remained productive, questions about long-term depth and rising competition foreshadowed the shifts that would define the 1960s. Still, the 1950s Braves left an enduring mark as one of the decade's most respected and balanced clubs.

An older gentleman blows the dust off a family album filled with fire demons, faceless footsteps, and a sudden, extremely personal introduction to a ghost in a wedding dress. Between the locked shed that wasn't so empty and walnuts dropping straight out of the ceiling, you'll see why his family sometimes wished they could just call a regular pest-control service for invisible houseguests. Turn down the lights and get ready for a time warp back to the 1950s, when all a kid needed for a thrill was a haunted potbellied stove and poltergeists who apparently spent their free time rearranging the dinner table.

When Bhagawan travelled to Africa in 1968, Swami mentioned that for Him, it was a visit to the house of a dear devotee, Dr C G Patel who happens to live in East Africa. From the 1950s, Dr Patel continuously prayed and pleaded with Bhagawan to come to Nigeria. Bhagawan's heart melted and finally, there was ‘Light in the Dark Continent'. But what pulled Dr Patel to Swami in those early years? What was the secret behind his steadfast faith and relentless dedication? In this episode of OMS, Raj Patel, his grandson, reveals a spellbinding story which is part of their family folklore.

From the pages of Super-Science Fiction in February 1957 let's go as fast as we can to page 68 for a story credited to Ellis Hart but in reality penned by Mr. Ellison, The Untouchable Adolescents by Harlan Ellison…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, in 1927 Amazing Stories had this to say about our next episode, We could wax rhapsodical in our praise, as the story is one of the finest pieces of literature it has been our good fortune to read.

His short stories were published only four times, first in 1930, then in 1947, 1950 and 1953. Beck was born in California in 1912 and died there in 1986.Collision Orbit was published in Planet Stories magazine in the summer of 1950. Two other stories we've shared on the podcast appeared in that issue, Flowering Evil by Margaret St. Clair and The Enormous Word by William Oberfield.
