This episode is presented by Create A Video – Activists are organizing against an expansion of Interstate 77 through Charlotte, after a NCDOT plan was unveiled that included a double-decker highway with toll lanes. The activists successfully pressured their Democrats on City Council to hold a vote to delay the project for 60 days. But the Council probably doesn't have the power to actually stop the project.

Dropping out of college at 21 to marry her high school sweetheart, getting divorced with 4 children, having to get a job in the 70's, -that's a lot for anyone, let alone a single woman. Marilyn, Suzy's mom, was an only child born in Jefferson City, MO in 1929. She was raised by her doting parents making sure their beautiful daughter had everything she needed or wanted. My guest recalls  "my mom was beautiful as a child . She tap danced, was a ballerina and a cheerleader, everything her parents wanted in a child."Though things got tough for Suzy at a young age, the youngest of four children, Marilyn proved herself more than capable of handling most everything on her own. In time, Suzy started to bear the brunt of coming to mom's aid.  An older brother's mental illness started taking its toll on the family and Suzy was there to stand by her mother and help her through these crises. Suzy's message to my listeners is "my mom was the worst."  I'm fine, my life is great. So I want people to now that you can come out of of it with a really crappy mom and be fantastic."Ms. Chase's next podcast venture is "Decorating By The Book."Lot's of links below for further information for my very special guest, Suzy Chase. Discover Morehttp://www.cookerybythebook.comhttp://www.decoratingbythebook.comhttp://www.thegrooveradio.comhttp://www.suzychase.com "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been “hung in the Louvre” after activists from Everyone Hates Elon placed a framed Reuters photograph inside the Paris museum showing him slouched in the back of a car following his release from police custody. Beneath it: “He's Sweating Now – 2026,” a nod to his 2019 BBC Newsnight interview.Commentators say the stunt reflects a broader collapse of royal deference, with the Independent calling it proof we are in a “post-royal” era of irreverence.Back in Norfolk, two fire engines briefly responded to Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate in what appears to have been a false alarm. Meanwhile, the BBC reports Andrew charged taxpayers for massage services and travel during his time as trade envoy — a detail some dismiss as trivial, others cite as emblematic.The constitutional stakes are rising. Australia has signalled support for removing Andrew from the line of succession, and new YouGov polling shows 82 percent of Britons agree. From museum walls in Paris to Commonwealth capitals, the fallout is widening — and the pressure on the monarchy is intensifying.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

The Ecosystem of Exile Politics: Why Proximity and Precarity Matter for Bhutan's Homeland Activists (Cornell UP, 2024), relays the events in Bhutan that led to the exodus of one-sixth of the population, and then recounts the activism by Bhutan's refugee diaspora that followed in response. Susan Banki asserts that activism functions like a physical ecosystem, in which hubs of activism in different locations interact to pressure the home country. For Bhutan's refugee mobilizers, physical proximity offers advantages in Nepal and India, where organizing protests, lobbying, and collecting information about government abuse in Bhutan is aided by being close to the homeland. But in an ecosystem of exile politics, proximity is both a boon and a bane. Sites proximate to Bhutan can be spaces of risk and disempowerment, and refugee activists rarely secure legal, political, and social protection. While distant diasporas in the Global North may not be in precarious situations, they cannot tap into the advantages of proximity. In examining these phenomena, The Ecosystem of Exile Politics adds to theoretical understandings of exile politics and to empirical research on Bhutan and its refugee population. Susan Banki is an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney. She studies the political, institutional, and social contexts that explain the roots of and solutions to human rights violations and social justice abuses, with a specific focus on the Asia-Pacific region.

Police Against the Movement: The Sabotage of the Civil Rights Struggle and the Activists Who Fought Back (Princeton UP, 2025) shatters one of the most pernicious myths about the 1960s: that the civil rights movement endured police violence without fighting it. Instead, as Joshua Clark Davis shows, activists from the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee confronted police abuses head-on, staging sit-ins at precinct stations, picketing outside department headquarters, and blocking city streets to protest officer misdeeds. In return, organizers found themselves the targets of overwhelming political repression in the form of police surveillance, infiltration by undercover officers, and retaliatory prosecutions aimed at discrediting and derailing their movement.The history of the civil rights era abounds with accounts of physical brutality by county sheriffs and tales of political intrigue and constitutional violations by FBI agents. Turning our attention to municipal officials in cities and towns across the US—North, South, East, and West—Davis reveals how local police bombarded civil rights organizers with an array of insidious weapons. More than just physical violence, these economic, legal, and reputational attacks were designed to project the illusion of color-blind law enforcement.The civil rights struggle against police abuses is largely overlooked today, the victim of a willful campaign by local law enforcement to erase their record of repression. By placing activism against state violence at the center of the civil rights story, Police Against the Movement offers critical insight into the power of political resistance in the face of government attacks on protest. Joshua Clark Davis is associate professor of history at the University of Baltimore. He is the author of From Head Shops to Whole Foods and the coeditor of Baltimore Revisited, and he has written for The Nation, Slate, Jacobin, and The Atlantic. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Family was everything to the Shaffer family, especially because of all the international traveling that they did when the kids were younger, it brought them closer together. Penny loved to cook and was famous for her 'Penny Shaffer pancakes' and fried chicken. Greg says, "it was almost like a 'Leave It To Beaver' kind of family. We are all so close and there was so much love and laughter.  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Police Against the Movement: The Sabotage of the Civil Rights Struggle and the Activists Who Fought Back (Princeton UP, 2025) shatters one of the most pernicious myths about the 1960s: that the civil rights movement endured police violence without fighting it. Instead, as Joshua Clark Davis shows, activists from the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee confronted police abuses head-on, staging sit-ins at precinct stations, picketing outside department headquarters, and blocking city streets to protest officer misdeeds. In return, organizers found themselves the targets of overwhelming political repression in the form of police surveillance, infiltration by undercover officers, and retaliatory prosecutions aimed at discrediting and derailing their movement.The history of the civil rights era abounds with accounts of physical brutality by county sheriffs and tales of political intrigue and constitutional violations by FBI agents. Turning our attention to municipal officials in cities and towns across the US—North, South, East, and West—Davis reveals how local police bombarded civil rights organizers with an array of insidious weapons. More than just physical violence, these economic, legal, and reputational attacks were designed to project the illusion of color-blind law enforcement.The civil rights struggle against police abuses is largely overlooked today, the victim of a willful campaign by local law enforcement to erase their record of repression. By placing activism against state violence at the center of the civil rights story, Police Against the Movement offers critical insight into the power of political resistance in the face of government attacks on protest. Joshua Clark Davis is associate professor of history at the University of Baltimore. He is the author of From Head Shops to Whole Foods and the coeditor of Baltimore Revisited, and he has written for The Nation, Slate, Jacobin, and The Atlantic.

After some live technical hiccups

This is the English version of this podcast episode. Haga clic aquí para escuchar en español. The 1960s was the start of the Chicano movement: El Movimiento. Activists like César Chávez and Dolores Huerta were on the front lines calling for civil rights and social justice for Mexican Americans after facing decades of discrimination. And right here in Oregon, Chicanos founded an institution that would change education for Latinos across the Pacific Northwest for generations. For this week’s episode, we’re revisiting a story from producer Alicia Avila. She shares the story of Colegio César Chávez – the first accredited, independent Chicano university in U.S. history, and how it continues to inspire as the Latino community in Oregon fights against its erasure. Avila also produced a documentary about Colegio César Chávez for OPB’s “Oregon Experience.” Check it out. For more Evergreen episodes and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.

Josh opens the show by breaking down the messaging we’re seeing from many on the Left when it comes to today’s biggest cultural battles. He explains why cultural elites appear increasingly out of step with where much of the country stands—and reacts to the criticism of ICE and the applause for Supreme Court Justice Jackson that drew attention during the Grammys. Josh then turns to the growing tension with Iran, analyzing recent comments from the president and where things stand regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions. He also discusses the discovery of a new biolab in Las Vegas and why China remains a strategic threat Americans should be paying close attention to. To close the show, Josh reacts to President Trump’s remarks at Thursday’s National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., and what they could signal moving forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Musicians and songwriters are storytellers. And Jackson has been writing songs since he was about 12 years old. His debut single, "I Love you Mom" is a belated birthday gift to his mom. He wasn't going to record it in his next studio session but his coworkers insisted, and here we are.Over the years and decades of working in the radio industry, I've interviewed hundreds of musicians. Jackson is up there at the top of the list as far as being polite, honest, humble and open about his strengths and weaknesses. I imagine a lot of that comes from his childhood and the fact that his family played a huge role in his life. Family is very important to my guest, not only because they keep you grounded, but he realized at a young age exactly how fortunate he truly was to have a mom , dad and brother that  truly supported each other. He was taught to show respect and appreciation for all that he has and he really is all that!  Jackson talks about "his solid foundation" and how it helps him stayed focused.'Norman's Rare Guitars' in Los Angeles, CA recorded a few videos with Jackson featured playing the guitar with special guest musicians. You should check these videos out on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf89aB_bWXY "Prove You Right"Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL2SRhQf1tI  "Different Kind Of Beautiful" with special guest Tim Pierce on guitarHe's known for being at the right place at the right time but Jackson works hard at his craft because he's so passionate about his music.  Jackson has a great story to share about one of his early performances at the legendary Puckett's in Leipers Fort, TN. For such a young performer, he got some crazy memorable stories to share about all the celebrated artists he's come into contact with.I wish you all the best Jackson!

In the U.S., there are about 100,000 monkeys, baboons, and other primates living in captivity to support scientific research. About 5,000 of them are at OHSU’s Oregon National Primate Research Center. That’s where researchers do experiments on monkeys to try to get clear data about things like cannabis use during pregnancy, and to find cures for diseases like HIV. Animal rights activists have argued for decades that the center should be closed. And they’re gaining momentum with support from Oregon’s governor and some lawmakers. In addition, scientists who oppose using animals in research argue that the practice has become obsolete and is hindering, not helping the effort to find cures.    Today, we’re bringing back our episode about the Oregon National Primate Research Center because just a few weeks ago in January, OHSU’s board of directors had a meeting to hear about what it would take to close the center or significantly reduce the size of its primate population.    OPB health reporter Amelia Templeton shares what she learned from a visit to the Oregon National Primate Research Center and conversations with a lot of smart people on all sides of this complex topic.    Don’t forget to check out our many podcasts, which can be found on any of your favorite podcast apps: Hush Timber Wars Season 2: Salmon Wars Politics Now Think Out Loud And many more!
