For generations, parents have been told that picky eating is normal, inevitable, and just part of raising kids. But what if that's not true? What if picky eating is actually a modern phenomenon—and one we've unintentionally created? In this episode, Nicole sits down with historian, professor, and author Helen Zoe Veit to explore the surprising history behind children's eating habits. Drawing from her book Picky: How American Children Became the Fussiest Eaters in History, Helen reveals how kids once ate everything from bitter greens to spicy foods and why modern parenting, nutrition advice, convenience foods, and fear-based messaging may have changed that. Together, they unpack what parents can learn from history, how to build curiosity around food, and why confidence—not control—may be the missing ingredient at the dinner table. In This Episode We Discuss: Why picky eating is a relatively recent phenomenon in American history How children in the 19th century developed adventurous palates The role of nutrition science in changing children's diets Why modern parents feel so much pressure around food and feeding The difference between food neophobia and true picky eating How repeated exposure helps children learn to enjoy new foods Why separate "kids' meals" may be contributing to the problem The impact of snacks, convenience foods, and ultra-processed foods How confidence and consistency can transform family mealtimes The connection between food, curiosity, joy, and lifelong health This conversation is a powerful reminder that children may be capable of far more than we give them credit for—and that curiosity, resilience, and openness can all be nurtured one bite at a time.

Transcript:Da: I tågerne af den mystiske sump bevægede Kasper, Maja og Freja sig forsigtigt.En: In the mists of the mysterious swamp, Kasper, Maja, and Freja moved cautiously.Da: Det var en sommermorgen, men solens stråler kæmpede for at trænge gennem den tætte tåge og det tætte løv.En: It was a summer morning, but the sun's rays struggled to penetrate the dense fog and thick foliage.Da: Sumpen levede med lyde af fugle og insekter, og luften var tung af fugt.En: The swamp was alive with the sounds of birds and insects, and the air was heavy with moisture.Da: Kasper ledte an.En: Kasper took the lead.Da: Han var fast besluttet på at finde den sjældne plante, han havde hørt om.En: He was determined to find the rare plant he had heard about.Da: Rygter sagde, at den kun voksede i hjertet af denne sump, og han drømte om at opdage noget, der ville gøre ham berømt.En: Rumors said it only grew in the heart of this swamp, and he dreamed of discovering something that would make him famous.Da: Men sumpen var farlig.En: But the swamp was dangerous.Da: Terrænet var mudret og glat, og vejret kunne skifte fra skønt til stormfuldt på et øjeblik.En: The terrain was muddy and slippery, and the weather could change from pleasant to stormy in an instant.Da: "Hvorfor tror du, den plante findes, Kasper?"En: "Why do you think the plant exists, Kasper?"Da: spurgte Freja skeptisk.En: Freja asked skeptically.Da: Hun havde hørt historier om tidligere ekspeditioner, der aldrig vendte tilbage.En: She had heard stories of past expeditions that never returned.Da: "Jeg kan bare føle det," svarede Kasper.En: "I can just feel it," replied Kasper.Da: "Desuden har vi alle kun minuttet udstyr og vores viden.En: "Besides, we have all our equipment and knowledge.Da: Dette er vores chance!"En: This is our chance!"Da: Maja nikkede, men så nervøs ud, da skyerne over sumpen blev mørkere.En: Maja nodded but looked nervous as the clouds over the swamp grew darker.Da: "Vejret ser ikke godt ud."En: "The weather doesn't look good."Da: Uanfægtet, besluttede Kasper at fortsætte.En: Undeterred, Kasper decided to continue.Da: Han forlod stien og ventede ind i den tætte jungle af sumpen.En: He left the path and ventured into the dense jungle of the swamp.Da: Maja og Freja blev tilbage, usikre på om de skulle følge efter.En: Maja and Freja stayed behind, unsure if they should follow.Da: Timerne gik, og Kasper blev mere og mere indsnøret i sumpens labyrint.En: Hours passed, and Kasper became more and more entangled in the swamp's labyrinth.Da: Selv med kortet var det let at fare vild.En: Even with the map, it was easy to get lost.Da: Vinden rejste sig, og regndråber begyndte at falde.En: The wind picked up, and raindrops began to fall.Da: Pludselig, imens han kæmpede sig gennem en særlig rødkløvet klynge af træer, fandt han en lysning.En: Suddenly, as he struggled through a particularly red-clovered cluster of trees, he found a clearing.Da: Midt i lysningen, omgivet af tåge, blomstrede den sjældne plante.En: In the middle of the clearing, surrounded by fog, bloomed the rare plant.Da: Den så næsten uvirkelig ud med sine farvede kronblade.En: It looked almost unreal with its colorful petals.Da: Kaspers hjerte sprang et slag over.En: Kasper's heart skipped a beat.Da: Med forsigtighed samlede han prøver og tog billeder.En: With caution, he collected samples and took pictures.Da: Men stormen var over ham, og han måtte finde vej tilbage.En: But the storm was upon him, and he had to find his way back.Da: Regnen piskede hans ansigt, og vinden rev i træerne.En: The rain lashed his face, and the wind tore at the trees.Da: Men med plantens skønhed i tankerne, forlod han lysningen og begyndte omløbet.En: But with the plant's beauty in mind, he left the clearing and began the return journey.Da: Tilbage i lejren ventede Maja og Freja.En: Back at the camp, Maja and Freja waited.Da: Da Kasper dukkede op, gennemblødt og smilende, udbrød de i jubel.En: When Kasper appeared, soaked and smiling, they burst into cheers.Da: "Du fandt den virkelig!"En: "You really found it!"Da: sagde Maja med forbløffelse.En: said Maja in amazement.Da: "Ja," svarede Kasper, og han delte sine fund.En: "Yes," replied Kasper, and he shared his findings.Da: Hans mod og instinkt havde båret frugt.En: His courage and instinct had paid off.Da: Dagen efter, da solen igen forsøgte at trænge gennem tågerne, forlod Kasper sumpen.En: The next day, as the sun once again tried to pierce through the mists, Kasper left the swamp.Da: Nu med større tro på sig selv havde han vundet sine kollegers respekt og fundet den sjældne skat, han havde søgt.En: Now with greater confidence in himself, he had earned the respect of his colleagues and found the rare treasure he had sought.Da: Alt i alt var det hans eventyr, der beviste, at håb og vedholdenhed kunne tænde lys selv i den tætteste tåge.En: All in all, it was his adventure that proved hope and perseverance could light up even the densest fog.

of the Romeinse amphitheater.Nl: Het was een plek doordrenkt van geschiedenis.En: It was a place steeped in history.Nl: Jasper keek verwonderd naar de imposante structuur.En: Jasper gazed in awe at the imposing structure.Nl: Hij had altijd al gedroomd om zulke ruïnes te verkennen.En: He had always dreamed of exploring such ruins.Nl: Zijn nieuwsgierigheid dreef hem verder, terwijl Femke en Leonie hem volgden.En: His curiosity drove him further, while Femke and Leonie followed him.Nl: “Kom op, Jasper,” lachte Femke.En: "Come on, Jasper," laughed Femke.Nl: “Het is allemaal een groot avontuur, nietwaar?En: "It's all one big adventure, isn't it?"Nl: ” Ze was altijd te porren voor iets spannends.En: She was always up for something exciting.Nl: Leonie daarentegen, bleef iets achter, haar ogen scanden de verweerde booggangen voor inspiratie.En: Leonie, on the other hand, lagged a bit behind, her eyes scanning the weathered arches for inspiration.Nl: “Ik heb gehoord dat er een verborgen deel is,” fluisterde Jasper, terwijl ze door de mensenmassa liepen.En: "I heard there's a hidden part," Jasper whispered as they walked through the crowd.Nl: Hij had gelezen over een afgesloten sectie in het amfitheater, waar nog nooit ontdekte artefacten konden liggen.En: He had read about a closed-off section in the amphitheater, where undiscovered artifacts might lie.Nl: “Maar het is verboden terrein, toch?En: "But it's forbidden territory, right?"Nl: ” vroeg Leonie bezorgd.En: asked Leonie worriedly.Nl: “Ach, regels zijn er om gebroken te worden,” zei Femke, met een knipoog.En: "Oh, rules are meant to be broken," said Femke, with a wink.Nl: Jasper grijnsde, zijn nieuwsgierigheid won het van zijn voorzichtigheid.En: Jasper grinned, his curiosity overcoming his caution.Nl: Samen kropen ze langs de afgezet lijnen, het avontuur tegemoet.En: Together, they crept past the barrier lines, heading towards the adventure.Nl: Binnen mum van tijd stonden ze in een stiller deel van het amfitheater, weg van de drukte.En: In no time, they found themselves in a quieter part of the amphitheater, away from the hustle and bustle.Nl: Het voelde alsof ze waren teruggestapt in de tijd.En: It felt as though they had stepped back in time.Nl: Oude pilaren rezen als wachters uit de grond.En: Old pillars rose like guardians from the ground.Nl: “Kijk daar!En: "Look there!"Nl: ” riep Jasper plotseling, zijn ogen gericht op iets glinsterends tussen de stenen.En: Jasper suddenly shouted, his eyes fixed on something glimmering between the stones.Nl: Voordat ze het goed en wel konden onderzoeken, klonken er snelle voetstappen.En: Before they could properly investigate, quick footsteps sounded.Nl: Een site official verscheen, woedend en waarschuwend.En: A site official appeared, angry and warning.Nl: "Jullie kunnen hier niet zijn!En: "You can't be here!"Nl: " riep hij boos, maar zijn stem verzachtte toen hij zag wat Jasper had ontdekt.En: he shouted angrily, but his voice softened when he saw what Jasper had discovered.Nl: Het leek een klein standbeeld van een gladiator te zijn, verstopt onder lagen stof en puin.En: It seemed to be a small statue of a gladiator, hidden under layers of dust and rubble.Nl: De official bestudeerde het met een groeiende belangstelling.En: The official studied it with growing interest.Nl: “Dit is bijzonder,” zei hij, nog steeds serieus, maar met een begripvolle glinstering in zijn ogen.En: "This is special," he said, still serious but with an understanding glimmer in his eyes.Nl: “Ik deel jullie liefde voor geschiedenis.En: "I share your love for history."Nl: ”De official bood Jasper en zijn vrienden kort de tijd om te kijken, onder toezicht weliswaar.En: The official offered Jasper and his friends a brief moment to look, under supervision, of course.Nl: Terwijl ze het standbeeld bekeken, voelde Jasper een golf van verwondering en respect.En: As they viewed the statue, Jasper felt a wave of wonder and respect.Nl: Hij besefte dat de geschiedenis voorzichtig en geduldig geëerd moest worden.En: He realized that history should be honored carefully and patiently.Nl: Toen ze onder begeleiding het terrein verlieten, voelde Jasper zich tevreden.En: As they left the site under supervision, Jasper felt satisfied.Nl: Er was veel meer te ontdekken, maar dat zou hij op een andere dag doen, op een geduldiger manier.En: There was much more to discover, but that would be for another day, in a more patient manner.Nl: Hij keek naar Femke en Leonie en wist dat het avontuur pas net begonnen was, maar dat het ontdekken van geschiedenis niet altijd betekent dat je regels moet breken.En: He looked at Femke and Leonie and knew that the adventure had only just begun, but that discovering history doesn't always mean you have to break the rules.

Daniel Lanois built a studio in his basement in Quebec and began producing local acts when a teenager. Through work with Brian Eno, he went on to record U2, Bob Dylan, Arcade Fire, Emmylou Harris and scores of others with a method that's unique, cinematic and utterly extraordinary, a brand of sonic architecture that creates settings to accommodate the songs, often in exotic and stimulating places. And he's made nine albums of his own, the latest the magical instrumental suite ‘Belladonna Nocturne' – “hear this and you may never go home again”. This rich and fascinating conversation includes … … how the place you record affects the way you think ... producing Dylan and Willie Nelson in an abandoned Mexican cinema … why the first record he bought was Wipe Out by the Surfaris … the process of “printing sound” and his Music Minus One theory … “Songs are doorways to another dimension” … Eno's working method: “he walked round the studio for 45 minutes ringing bells to map out the length of the album” … drawing song sketches to stop everyone having to crowd round a laptop … making the Unforgettable Fire with U2, “expanding Slane Castle ‘til there were little critters crawling out of the walls!” … conjuring the tropical heat of Robbie Robertson's Somewhere Down the Crazy River … and what Hells' Angels like to do to his music.

The adventure came after the surrender, not before. Noah is a Resident Assistant at Black Forest Academy in Germany, and his path there ran straight through a calling he really didn't want to say yes to. Noah traces the journey from an international upbringing through a defining study abroad experience to a moment of reluctant obedience, and what he found waiting on the other side. "Their parents can focus on ministry while having their kids receive a really good, quality education, and the dorm side for us is that we become partners, co-workers with the parents as we seek to guardian them and lead them through these four years that they're here." "I had packed into a box this idea that following Jesus into the mission field means leaving behind everything you love." "I really didn't want to obey, but I knew He was calling me." "They immediately responded with, 'Oh, you're one of us. Oh, you get us.'" "When you can get into a mindset where you give up predictability, when you give up seeing things in the way you planned, it becomes easier to hear His voice." "We [in Gen Z] have a desire for truth; we want what's real. We don't like the facade; we don't like the fake." Dialogue Education "You lay it all at Jesus' feet, and you say, 'Abba Father, here is my life, here is everything. You are in control. You have access to everything.'" "The answer came on the other side of obedience. I've found myself living what feels like an adventure, and I only found the adventure once I surrendered."

Send us Fan Mail#382 - There's no exact line to say who's adventurous and who isn't. There are some guidelines and these loose guidelines can be applied to anyone who's trying something out of their comfort zone. I don't feel anyone else should pass judgement on us when we determine where that line is. There are too many in running and endurance sports telling us we need to take more chances, try more, do more. That's a personal decision and no one can decide that but us. This week, I give us something to think about, perhaps on your next run. Are you the type who likes to try next experiences head-on? Or do you like to stick with what you know? As I said, there are no judgements, no trying to talk you into doing something new. That's entirely your choice. We're just doing some long run thinking today. Enjoy the run!

What should you look for in a board game? Let’s look at five elements of games to help you choose. 0:00:00 Fact for 421 The game that is ID 421 on Board Game Geek happens to be pretty well-known among boardgamers. Sponsor Message Regardless of whether you’re trying to figure out how to start saving for your future, or trying to decide if you can afford to retire, First Move can help you. To set up either a 15 minute phone call or a 90 minute meeting go to firstmovefinancial.com/familygamers today. 0:04:55 What We’ve Been Playing Aspens (w/ Majestic Marvels expansion)A Place for All My BooksMission to Planet Hexx!Got Five!SantoriniTag Team – we think it needs a “cookbook” with suggestions for complementary pairsAdventurous 0:23:00 April Monthly Report Andrew: 9 games played 14 times. No H-index, only played Got Five! more than once. Anitra: 16 games played 25 times. H-index: 3 (Got Five!, A Place for All My Books, Adventurous) 0:23:45 The Family Gamers Community Welcome to our newest community members! We’re glad you’re here. #Backtalk Gamification? You express mixed feelings on the #backtalk channel of the Discord. And we found out Book-It is still around, and you can still get a Pizza Hut personal pan pizza! 0:33:00 What to look for in a game? This is a topic that’s subjective and intensely personal. When you’re looking for your own family, looking for a gift, or simply browsing the shelves at a boardgame store, there are a few aspects you should consider. Keep in mind: who is going to play this game? 1. Duration How long is this game supposed to last? How long is it going to take the first time you play? (Are you prepared to learn the game and teach it before presenting it to your family?) We think that for gamer families, aim for 90 minutes or less. 60 minutes is probably better. (One shot games are an exception.) For non-gamers, shorter is better! Aim for 45 minutes or less. Maybe an hour if no kids in the mix. 2. Theme Heavily thematic games can be a great choice! They’re not the only thing to consider, but it’s still important. 3. Game Type / Mechanics There are certain mechanics that are simpler for non-gamers to understand. Things like worker placement and action selection are generally more challenging, and can get very complicated when they’re done in innovative ways. (This is a big part of why we do the Room to Grow series!) This also includes whether a game is co-operative or competitive. (Some can work both ways.) 4. Chance?! A lot of people don’t like much luck in their games, and others hate games that have no luck. We recommend going for luck-heavy games when you have a wide age range playing together. Having more chance evens out the gap in skills that usually exists between children and adults. 5. Player Count Seems obvious. But it’s related to season of life, too. Our family of five used to play lots of games together with the whole group (see episode 120 and episode 220), but with multiple teenagers doing all kinds of activities, we rarely play with more than two players anymore. Appendix: How Does This Game Fit? Does this game fit in your collection? Does it fill a gap of something you don’t already have? Or maybe you have too many of this type of game already… 0:52:20 New Backtalk Question We lean into the point made about considering the collection. What is the game type you are most tempted to buy?

In today's digital-first world, many girls are growing up more anxious, more indoors, and more disconnected from God's creation than ever before. In this episode of Raising Godly Girls, host Natalie Ambrose sits down with Hudson Wild of Wild Brothers TV to explore how outdoor adventure can become a powerful tool for nurturing mental health, faith, and courage in young Christian girls. Hudson shares how growing up in remote corners of the world shaped his understanding of God, His creation, and the Great Commission. From kayaking in Indonesia to filming faith-filled adventures across the globe, Hudson explains how experiencing God's world firsthand can spark curiosity, resilience, and a deeper trust in the Lord—especially for girls navigating fear, anxiety, or self-doubt. Together, Natalie and Hudson discuss why getting outside matters for a girl's emotional and spiritual health, how learning about different cultures can inspire compassion and evangelistic vision, and practical ways families can help their daughters unplug from screens and rediscover wonder in God's creation. This encouraging conversation will equip parents with fresh perspective and simple ideas to raise adventurous, mission-minded girls who are confident in who God made them to be.

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, we're celebrating three very different – but beautifully connected – picture books and their creators. First, Dr. Candice Childs joins us to talk about her autobiographical picture book "CC, Sour and Sweet Journey to Medical School." She shares how the "sweet" parts of her journey are actually the moments of growth, resilience, and purpose that came from repeated failure and perseverance. The "sour" moments include painful setbacks and even an advisor bluntly telling her she'd never get into medical school. Candice explains how she turned that discouragement into fuel, and how her parents' unwavering belief in her – especially her late mother's message, "Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't do" – continues to guide her. She also talks about why parents' words matter so deeply for kids' mental health, and how books can spark the most powerful family conversations. Next, Margaret Proctor shares the delightful backstory behind "Cousins, What's Next?" Inspired by her great-granddaughter and youngest grandson getting into everything together, Margaret explores the joy, chaos, and blessings of intergenerational relationships. She reflects on being rejected by traditional publishers years ago, what it felt like to finally hold her own book ("I danced for ten minutes!"), and encourages aspiring writers to honor their ideas and just start. Finally, Tricia Gardella introduces us to Mouse, star of the Mouse Traveler series, including "Mouse Visits Everglades National Park." Tricia talks about falling in love with this little character, weaving real national park facts into fun adventures, and why she hopes her books help kids love – and fight to protect – our national parks for generations to come.

At the heart of the modern world lie ventilation shafts. We may not notice them, but wherever there are tunnels, sewers, mines, car parks and energy stations under our feet, vents will be doing vital work keeping them cool and fume-free. Vents come in a wonderful and inventive variety of forms. Adventurous Vents: A Journey through the Ventilation Shafts of Britain (Penguin, 2025) by Lucy Lavers, Judy Ovens, Suzanna Prizeman celebrates them both in their own right as intriguing individual structures, and as an innovative way to tell the story of Britain's subterranean industrial development from the eighteenth century to the present day. Here are one hundred of the most interesting ventilation shafts, dotted around Britain, sometimes in the most surprising places. You'll find them masquerading as sculptures and small buildings, adorned with fine details or displaying their purpose with confidence. Whether you're inspired to take off in search of them, or just to admire them from your armchair, vents are fabulous objects. By putting them – perhaps for the very first time – centre-stage, Adventurous Vents celebrates a highly unusual but exciting architectural form. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Adventurous Vents: A Journey through the Ventilation Shafts of Britain (Penguin, 2025) by Lucy Lavers, Judy Ovens, Suzanna Prizeman celebrates them both in their own right as intriguing individual structures, and as an innovative way to tell the story of Britain's subterranean industrial development from the eighteenth century to the present day. Here are one hundred of the most interesting ventilation shafts, dotted around Britain, sometimes in the most surprising places. You'll find them masquerading as sculptures and small buildings, adorned with fine details or displaying their purpose with confidence. Whether you're inspired to take off in search of them, or just to admire them from your armchair, vents are fabulous objects. By putting them – perhaps for the very first time – centre-stage, Adventurous Vents celebrates a highly unusual but exciting architectural form. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

SHOW 11-28-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1963 The Genius of Early Photography: Nadar, Daguerre, and Dangerous Chemistry — Anika Burgess — Burgess details the risky and adventurous origins of photography as a practical medium. She examines Nadar, a visionary figure who deployed a giant balloon named Léon to fund experiments in heavier-than-air flight, having previously conducted innovative photographic expeditions into Paris's catacombs. Burgess also recounts Daguerre's 1839 presentation of the daguerreotype—a remarkably realistic, singular image created using hazardous chemicals including iodine and mercury, which posed significant occupational and health risks to early practitioners. Early Photography's Scientific Reach: Lunar and Underwater Photography — Anika Burgess — Burgessexplores early photography's critical scientific applications, noting that François Arago predicted the daguerreotype would enable detailed mapping of the lunar surface. Early astrophotographers encountered formidable technical challenges involving distance calculations, celestial motion, and insufficient ambient light. James Nasmyth controversially photographed plaster casts and molds of the lunar surface, which contemporary observers praised as scientifically truthful. Burgess also highlights Louis Boutan, who persistently developed practical underwater photography using pressurized hard-hat diving equipment, establishing a new scientific capability. Photography and Social Justice: Riis, Watkins, and the Question of Truth — Anika Burgess — Burgessdemonstrates how photography became a transformative tool for social advocacy and reform. Jacob Riis, a newspaper journalist documenting Manhattan's tenement poverty, employed flash powder ignited in cast-iron frying pans to photograph the grim, overcrowded interior conditions of slums for his landmark book How the Other Half Lives, frequently without obtaining subject consent. Burgess also discusses Carleton Watkins, who transported over 2,000 pounds of large-format photographic equipment to Yosemite Valley, producing images that proved instrumental in securing federal preservation and protection of the landscape. From X-Rays to Motion Pictures: Expanding the Photographic Medium — Anika Burgess — Burgess traces the expansion of photographic technology beyond conventional image capture. She examines Alice Austin'sintimate and playful photographs documenting her social circle with candid authenticity. The discovery of X-raysby Wilhelm Röntgen was rapidly branded as "the new photography" or "shadow photography," adopted swiftly for both entertainment and medical diagnostic applications despite practitioners possessing no understanding of severe radiation hazards. Burgess concludes with Paul Martin's candid street photography using concealed cameras hidden within top hats and Eadweard Muybridge's sequential motion studies, which directly enabled the invention of motion pictures. Angelica Schuyler: Albany, Elopement, and the Start of the Revolution — Molly Beer — Beer discusses her book Angelica, focusing on Angelica Schuyler Church, daughter of General Philip Schuyler. Her mother, Katherine, oversaw construction of their Albany residence, The Pastures, a substantial estate reflecting family prominence. Angelica received a rigorous education consistent with Dutch cultural traditions emphasizing women's financial and business literacy for family management. In 1777, during Burgoyne's invasion of New York, Angelica profoundly disappointed her mother by eloping with John Carter, an Englishman she found intellectually engaging and cosmopolitan. Angelica and the Founders: The Revolution and the Hamilton Connection — Molly Beer — Beer examines Angelica's pivotal role during the American Revolution, including her service alongside Rochambeau's army, traveling to Yorktown shortly after delivering her third child. Her sister Elizabeth ("Betsy") married Alexander Hamilton, who deliberately married into the prominent Schuyler family to elevate his social standing and political prospects. Following the war, Angelica's eldest son, Philip, founded the town of Angelica in western New York, the community where Beer herself was subsequently raised. Angelica in Europe: John Church, London Society, and Diplomacy — Molly Beer — Following ratification of the peace treaty, Angelica and her husband sailed to Paris to collect outstanding payments owed by the Frenchgovernment. John Carter leveraged the wartime amnesty to settle accumulated debts, reconcile with his estranged family, and legally adopt the name John Barker Church. Angelica relocated to London's elegant Mayfairneighborhood, where she established herself as a prominent American patriot. She strategically positioned herself at the intersection of cultural and diplomatic negotiations, entertaining influential figures including Lafayette and the Adamses, while exerting subtle influence over American diplomatic representatives toward negotiated peace. Angelica's Later Life: Return, Tragedy, and Founding Angelica, NY — Molly Beer — Angelica visited the United States for President Washington's 1789 inauguration but quickly returned to London, disappointed that the nascent republic fell short o Woke Capitalism: Origins, ESG, DEI, and the Power of BlackRock — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinotraces the origins of "woke capitalism," detailing how corporate America shareholder returns toward stakeholder capitalism models. L The Flashpoints of Woke Capitalism: Occupy Wall Street and the SEC — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinoidentifies the 2008 financial crisis and the ensuing progressive populist backlash, including the Occupy Wall Streetencampment at Zuccotti Park, as pivotal flashpoints accelerating corporate woke adoption.... Disney and ESPN: Running a Blue Company in a Red State — Charles Gasparino — Gasparino analyzes the radicalization of the Walt Disney Company, noting that CEO Bob Iger brought progressive cultural affinities while the company.... Go Woke, Go Broke: The Financial Backlash and Corporate Retreat — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinoreports that woke capitalism is experiencing significant financial retrenchment as corporations suffer bottom-line consequences... Freedom's Forge: FDR, WWII Mobilization, and Bill Knudsen — Arthur Herman — Herman discusses his book Freedom's Forge, detailing the extraordinary challenge FDR confronted in May 1940 to prepare America for modern industrial warfare. The preeminent industrialist summoned for this task was Bill Knudsen, CEO of General Motors. Knudsen, a Danish immigrant and former Ford executive, possessed unparalleled expertise in flexible mass production—the capacity to modify production line processes continuously while maintaining output. Knudsen applied these revolutionary manufacturing techniques to transform the American automobile industry into an "Arsenal of Democracy," producing critical war materiel including military trucks and armored tanks. Henry Kaiser: The Builder of Liberty Ships — Arthur Herman — Herman profiles Henry Kaiser, the second transformative figure in Freedom's Forge. Kaiser, a road construction entrepreneur who had previously coordinated monumental infrastructure projects including the Boulder Dam, demonstrated relentless commitment to ambitious thinking and delivery ahead of schedule and under budget constraints. In late 1940, Kaiser persuaded both Britishand American governments to contract him to construct "throwaway freighters"—Liberty ships—despite possessing no prior shipbuilding experience. Between 1941 and 1945, Kaiser successfully built 2,710 Liberty ships, fundamentally enabling Allied logistics and supply operations. The B-29 Superfortress and the Battle of Omaha — Arthur Herman — Herman recounts the genesis of the B-29 Superfortress bomber, conceived after General Hap Arnold consulted with Charles Lindbergh in 1939. The B-29 represented the ultimate expression of air supremacy doctrine, demanding revolutionary technologies including pressurized crew cabins and remote-controlled gun turrets that did not yet exist. Bill Knudsen directed the program, overcoming severe delays and persistent technical deficiencies. Knudsen won the "Battle of Omaha" by insisting that aircraft be extensively modified after assembly to achieve operational flight status, thereby integrating a massive female industrial workforce into B-29 production processes. Lessons from WWII: Unleashing Private Enterprise — Arthur Herman — Herman explores the strategic tension during WWII between New Deal administrators favoring centralized government command and industrialists prioritizing private sector innovation and operational flexibility. FDR and Knudsen learned from the disastrous centralized economic control failures of WWI, choosing instead to permit American private enterprise to "determine production methodologies and develop solutions for urgent national requirements." The fundamental secret to Allied victory was unleashing private sector dynamism, entrepreneurial expertise, and competitive energy. Herman draws contemporary parallels, arguing that modern defense strategy must replicate this model, contrasting bureaucratic NASA operations with innovative private enterprises including SpaceX.
