He's currently the legal director at the National Center for LGBTQ Rights, where he is leading several federal court challenges to the trans military ban and other new federal policies targeting transgender people.I've long tried to find an interlocutor on the new radical direction of trans activism and its hostile takeover of the gay rights movement. Shannon was the first to agree, and we got along great. In some areas, we strongly agree; in others, we strongly disagree; but we can talk and not hate each other.

WeTransfer x TalkArt special episode recorded live at Whitechapel Gallery. Recorded in front of a sold out live audience at @WhitechapelGallery we speak with @DominicJohnson and Jamal Butt to explore the current HAMAD BUTT exhibition: his life, art and legacy. ❤️ Thank you to @WePresent for organising this exciting event!Apprehensions is the first major survey of #HamadButt (b. 1962, Lahore, Pakistan; d. 1994, London, UK). One of the most innovative artists of his generation, Hamad Butt was a pioneer of intermedia art, bringing art into conversation with science, whilst also referencing his Queer and diasporic experiences. He offered a nuanced artistic response to the AIDS crisis in the UK, taking a conceptual rather than activist approach.Butt's conceptually and technically ambitious works seamlessly interweave popular culture, science, alchemy, science fiction, and social and cultural concerns, as forms that are simultaneously poetic and provocative. They imagine sex and desire in a time of ‘plague' as seductive yet frightening, intimate yet isolating, compelling yet dangerous – literally, in some cases, threatening to kill or injure.Born in Lahore, Pakistan, and raised in East London, Butt was British South Asian, Muslim by upbringing, and Queer. A contemporary of the Young British Artists, and their peer at Goldsmiths' College, London, Butt was described by art critics as epitomising the new ‘hazardism' in art of the 1990s, as his works often imply physical risk or endangerment.Follow: @WhitechapelGallery and @WePresent and check out WePresent today to see a series of never-before-seen artworks by Hamad, generously shared by Jamal.This episode is brought to you by our friends at WePresent, the Academy Award winningarts platform of WeTransfer.

Independent emergency physician Kenneth Ro discusses his article, "From survival to sovereignty: What 35 years in the ER taught me about identity, mortality, and redemption." He shares his deeply personal journey, from growing up as a bullied Korean American boy in Texas who used academic achievement as "armor," to a 35-year career on the front lines of the ER. Kenneth explains how the unprocessed trauma from his work—bookended by the AIDS and COVID-19 pandemics—led to a life of compartmentalization and addiction, creating two versions of himself: one who saved lives and one who sabotaged his own. The conversation explores his spiritual awakening and how he began to dismantle an identity built on perfection and pain. Kenneth introduces his new personal mission, the Nova Oath™, which evolves the Hippocratic principle of "do no harm" to "do more good" by prioritizing integrity, self-care, and presence over performance. This is a story of turning scars into scaffolding and choosing to consciously write a new, more honest chapter in life. Careers by KevinMD is your gateway to health care success.

No remake de 2025 de Vale Tudo, o casal lésbico Cecília e Laís anda meio apagado – e tudo leva a crer que as duas vão sobreviver até o fim da novela. Mas não foi assim no original, em 1988. Ainda no meio da trama, Cecília morria num acidente de carro… e Laís tinha que lutar para ter direito à herança da mulher, décadas antes de o casamento gay ser legalizado no Brasil. Lendo o livro Os Guinle: História de uma dinastia, o repórter Tiago Coelho soube que, para criar Cecília e Laís, Gilberto Braga tinha se inspirado no drama real de um amigo, Marco Aurélio Rodrigues, que precisou disputar na justiça pela herança do companheiro, Jorge Guinle Filho. A partir de uma conversa com o viúvo – no apartamento pivô dessa disputa – Coelho conta como a história da ficção ajudou a sensibilizar a opinião pública para o problema da vida real. E, de quebra, ajuda a encontrar uma trilha sonora para os dois casais. Por Tiago Coelho. Que tal deixar a sua jornada de trabalho mais leve, criativa e menos estressante?

Nata a Genova nel 1961, Moana Pozzi è stata una delle figure più controverse e affascinanti dello spettacolo italiano. Dietro l'immagine della pornostar sicura di sé e della diva televisiva, si celava una donna determinata, colta e capace di trasformare il proprio corpo in simbolo di libertà e provocazione. Negli anni Ottanta e Novanta, mentre l'Italia si confrontava con un clima sociale conservatore, Moana infranse i tabù, approdando persino alla politica con il Partito dell'Amore. Nel 1994, la sua morte improvvisa a soli 33 anni, ufficialmente per un cancro al fegato, alimentò una scia di teorie alternative: chi sosteneva fosse morta di AIDS, chi parlava di un'esistenza segreta all'estero, chi di un complotto dei servizi segreti. Un mistero che, a distanza di trent'anni, continua ad alimentare fascino e interrogativi. Ma chi era davvero Moana Pozzi? E perché la sua figura resta così potente nell'immaginario collettivo italiano? Proviamo a scoprirlo insieme a Morena Rossi, copywriter, creative producer presso il gruppo Orange Media, ma soprattutto podcaster e autrice della serie “Icone”.

We are overdue for a talk on current affairs in America with RFK Jr. (Robert F. Kennedy, Jr) as the nation's Secretary of Health and Human Services. We have discussed the creation of the FDA and history of toxins in foods, beverages, and medications prior to such in our episode on the Poison Squad. Now, the FDA, CDC, NIH, and some other organizations important for the structure and future of healthcare are under the direction of a man who has repeatedly lied and spouted misinformation about vaccines, cancer, Covid, AIDS, various medications, and the like. He has promoted some dangerous conspiracy theories and has no education or experience in healthcare whatsoever. In this first part, we are looking into his background a bit and getting into some of the changes already under way under his leadership. We also need to cover some of the conspiracy theories, because he will act on what he believes and it gets pretty crazy. I wanted this to be a one episode subject, but there is just so much to talk about. Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

Aprofunde sua devoção a Deus em fiel.in/devocionalSe você não lutar contra a luxúriaAmados, exorto-vos... a vos absterdes das paixões carnais, que fazem guerra contra a alma. (1 Pedro 2.11)Quando eu confrontei um homem quanto ao adultério em que estava vivendo, tentei compreender sua situação e pedi que ele voltasse para sua esposa. Então, eu disse: “Você sabe, Jesus diz que se você não lutar contra esse pecado com o tipo de seriedade de quem está disposto a arrancar o próprio olho, você irá para o inferno e sofrerá ali para sempre”.Como um cristão professo, ele olhou para mim com total incredulidade, como se nunca tivesse ouvido algo assim em sua vida, e disse: “Quer dizer que você acha que uma pessoa pode perder a sua salvação?”.Assim, eu aprendi repetidamente, por experiência própria, que há muitos cristãos nominais que têm uma visão da salvação que a desconecta da vida real, que anula as ameaças da Bíblia e que coloca a pessoa pecadora que afirma ser um cristão além do alcance das advertências bíblicas. Creio que essa visão da vida cristã está confortando milhares de pessoas que estão no caminho largo que conduz à perdição (Mateus 7.13).Jesus disse que se você não lutar contra a luxúria, não irá para o céu. Não é que os santos sempre sejam bem-sucedidos. A questão é que resolvemos lutar, não que temos sucesso sem falhas.Os riscos são muito mais altos do que se o mundo fosse explodido por mil mísseis de longo alcance, terroristas bombardeassem a sua cidade, o aquecimento global derretesse as calotas ou a AIDS destruísse as nações. Todas essas calamidades podem matar apenas o corpo. Mas se nós não lutamos contra a luxúria, perdemos as nossas almas.Pedro diz que as paixões da carne guerreiam contra as nossas almas. Os riscos nessa guerra são infinitamente maiores do que em qualquer ameaça de guerra ou terrorismo. O apóstolo Paulo listou “prostituição, impureza, paixão lasciva, desejo maligno e a avareza”, então disse que “por estas coisas é que vem a ira de Deus” (Colossenses 3.5-6). E a ira de Deus é imensamente mais temível do que a ira de todas as nações juntas.Que Deus nos dê graça para considerarmos seriamente as nossas almas e as dos outros e continuarmos a luta.--Devocional Alegria Inabalável, por John Piper | Editora Fiel.Conteúdo oferecido em parceria entre Desiring God e Ministério Fiel.
Imagine practicing medicine not within the sterile confines of a hospital, but in the unpredictable world of city streets and shelters, where every patient encounter challenges conventional notions of care, empathy, and human dignity. We explore this reality through the extraordinary journey of Jim O'Connell, MD, whose groundbreaking work with Boston's homeless population has profoundly reshaped health care for society's most marginalized individuals.Dr. O'Connell is the founding president of the Boston Healthcare for the Homeless Program and an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. In this episode, Dr. O'Connell shares stories from his extensive frontline experience, detailing the unique challenges of treating patients facing complex medical and psychiatric conditions exacerbated by unstable living conditions. From addressing devastating public health crises such as AIDS and tuberculosis to establishing consistent mental health care, he provides profound insights into what makes healthcare effective for homeless populations. He also reflects on a formative early experience — being asked by nurses to wash patients feet — that deeply influenced his understanding of empathy and the essence of medical service. Through these reflections, we gain a powerful appreciation for the depth of patience, relational care, and respect required in caring for vulnerable communities. In this episode, you'll hear about: 2:00 - Dr. O'Connell's unexpected path to medicine11:34 - The distinction between a “country doctor” and a doctor who works in an academic setting13:42 - How Dr. O'Connell began working with homeless populations 20:30 - The difficulties doctors faced in the early years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic29:14 - Navigating the compounding challenges of access and continuity among the homeless population 37:12 - What has kept Dr. O'Connell dedicated to treating this population for 30+ years 51:24 - Dr. O'Connell's recommendations to clinicians on how to compassionately serve the homeless Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Matt Drinkhahn sits down with longtime friend and business coach Dan Patrick Andrews for a raw and inspiring conversation about personal transformation, grief, and the business of building meaningful relationships. Dan shares how he went from being a self-described “recovering people pleaser” who was “better in small doses,” to becoming a top-tier relationship coach who helps professionals master the art of asking the right question from the right person for the right introduction. Through deeply personal stories—like the painful loss of his brother to AIDS and navigating the emotional aftermath with his father—Dan unpacks how struggle, faith, and sheer willpower shaped his philosophy.

Conspiracy theories might be having a moment, but they're as old as civilization itself. In 64 AD, for example, the Great Fire of Rome sparked competing theories over who started the fire and why. And just like many of today's conspiracy theories, it resulted in suffering and innocent deaths — Emperor Nero accused Christians of lighting the fire, which led to many being crucified or burned alive.Conspiracy theories often arise in times of social crisis. When humans are feeling afraid, like the world is out of control, we turn to simple explanations that help us make sense of things. So it's no surprise that such theories are on the rise in this moment of turmoil and political chaos.It doesn't help that many members of the Trump Administration are actively encouraging disinformation. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in particular, has embraced lies about vaccines, chem-trails, and AIDS (just to name a few). In 2019, he traveled to the island of Samoa to sew distrust of vaccines… and shortly after, a measles outbreak killed nearly 100 people. Now, only 6 years later, he's the US Secretary of Health and Human Services.If someone you know is in the grip of a conspiracy theory, whether it's as high-stakes as vaccinations or as random as believing the Earth is flat, it's tempting to think we can argue them out of it. But unfortunately, fact-checking isn't an effective way to refute disinformation. Arguing makes people double down on their beliefs; even just repeating the lie further embeds it in their mind. Instead, it's better to ask questions that might lead to them questioning the conspiracy theory — maybe today, or maybe a year from now. Like democracy, this is a long-term project that'll only work if we lean in to compassion and community.This isn't to say that we should always take everything at face value, especially when leaders as high as RFK Jr. are spreading disinformation.

Conspiracy theories might be having a moment, but they're as old as civilization itself. In 64 AD, for example, the Great Fire of Rome sparked competing theories over who started the fire and why. And just like many of today's conspiracy theories, it resulted in suffering and innocent deaths — Emperor Nero accused Christians of lighting the fire, which led to many being crucified or burned alive.Conspiracy theories often arise in times of social crisis. When humans are feeling afraid, like the world is out of control, we turn to simple explanations that help us make sense of things. So it's no surprise that such theories are on the rise in this moment of turmoil and political chaos.It doesn't help that many members of the Trump Administration are actively encouraging disinformation. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in particular, has embraced lies about vaccines, chem-trails, and AIDS (just to name a few).

Whether you're grieving or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers healing and hope.
Send us a textIn this important and timely episode, I welcome back journalist, author, and friend of the podcast, Peter Wehner. We dig into his provocative and widely discussed article in The Atlantic: “Why Evangelicals Turned Their Back on PEPFAR.”PEPFAR—President George W. Bush's historic global AIDS relief program—has saved over 26 million lives and prevented millions of HIV infections. Once championed by American evangelicals, the program is now in crisis. Under Donald Trump's second term, PEPFAR was effectively shut down. Clinics have closed, aid has stalled, and more than 75,000 lives have already been lost—with millions more at risk.So why the silence from the evangelical community?Peter and I explore the cultural, political, and theological reasons behind this shift—from compassion to indifference—and why this issue, which should unite pro-life Christians, has instead fallen off the radar. We also reflect on how partisan loyalty, fear of division, and moral inconsistency have muted the response to one of the most effective humanitarian programs in U.S. history.This conversation is urgent, eye-opening, and deeply relevant to anyone who cares about faith, politics, and the real-world impact of silence. I hope you'll join us. This is one you don't want to miss.

Tune in Friday, July 18, 2025 @ 7pm EST for the next “He Said, He Said, He Said Live!” A Look at the World from A Seasoned Black Man's Perspective for “Until There's A Cure” with special guest author, advocate, humanitarian, and empowermentspeaker, Marco Mays. mmays@theblackcave.org / www.until.orgAfter a short summer pause, He Said, He Said, He Said LIVE is back—and we're returning with a powerful, honest, and necessary conversation that affects all of us more than we may realize. We're turning our spotlight on an issue that seems to have drifted from the headlines but continues to quietly impact millions: the AIDS and HIV epidemic. Joining us for this crucial discussion is Marco Mays—a respected author, empowerment speaker, and humanitarian—representing “Until There's a Cure”, a national organizationdedicated to ending HIV/AIDS through advocacy, awareness, and education. Despite years of progress, HIV/AIDS has not gone away. People are still being infected every day. Treatments have improved, but there's still no cure. So, we're asking thequestions: Why aren't more conversations happening about prevention? What can we do, as a community, to protectourselves and each other? Why are people still contracting HIV/AIDS today? With no cure in sight, why aren't more people protecting themselves? Why has thisepidemic gone quiet in our conversations? You need to hear this. You need to share this. Because someone you know knows someone who is HIV positive—and the silence is costing lives. Join us LIVE for this deeply important conversation. Bring your questions.

In May, the Golden State Valkyries kicked off their inaugural season. Even though they just started playing games in front of Bay Area fans, the team is said to be valued at $500 million dollars, the most of any franchise in the WNBA. And the team just had their first player named to the All-Star team: Forward Kayla Thornton was named as a reserve. These days the WNBA is on fire with record viewership and attendance. And more sold out games than ever. But that growth has taken nearly 28 years since the league launched in 1997. And while Caitlin Clark has become a household name, we rarely hear about the early players who fought for professional women's basketball to get respect. Judy Mosley McAfee was one of them. She was the sixth woman drafted into the WNBA. Her daughter, reporter Audy McAfee, brings us this tribute. And we go to San Francisco's Castro District to visit Maitri Compassionate Care Center. In addition to providing hospice care for people living with AIDS, for the last several years, it's provided affordable care for those preparing for or recovering from gender affirmation surgery. At a moment when the Trump administration is issuing executive orders to dismantle protections for transgender people, Maitri remains committed to their work. KQED's Kyana Moghadam takes us inside the center to learn about its legacy, and what it means to provide care in the heart of San Francisco. Learn more about your ad choices.

The 2012 FDA approval of PrEP as a tool for HIV prevention gave HIV-negative queers anxiety-free access to the sexual freedoms of the 1970s. But writer Daniel Sanchez Torres says PrEP didn’t exactly make things easier for HIV positive folks who still face stigma, rejection, and fetishization from HIV negative folks.

The sudden termination of US overseas funding jolted AIDS programs in countries hardest hit by the epidemic. Yet the leaders of national AIDS programs had already been preparing for the day when donor funding ended. The HIV Leadership Forum, a community of practice of Directors General of National AIDS Councils from around the world has recently published a report setting out steps on how resilient and sustainable national programs can be achieved. Ben is joined by Dr Nduku Kilonzo, Chair of the UNAIDS Global HIV Prevention Coalition, and Dr. Thembisile Xulu, CEO of the South African National AIDS Council, to explore the strategies and challenges in the post-donor era for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. Key topics include the importance of sustainability, integrating HIV programs into broader health systems, and rethinking donor-country partnerships. Both experts offer valuable insights into how African countries are navigating the reduction in international funding while striving to meet their health goals. 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 01:11 Meet Dr. Nduku Kilonzo 01:38 Key Findings from the International Aid Society Scientific Conference 03:09 The HIV Leadership Forum and Sustainability Report 05:11 Challenges and Lessons in HIV Prevention 17:42 Interview with Dr. Thembisile Xulu 21:16 South Africa's Response to Funding Cuts 32:03 The Future of HIV Programs and Donor Relationships 47:49 Concluding Thoughts and Reflections 53:07 Closing Remarks and Call to Action
Join host Clay Edwards and co-hosts Shaun Yurtkuran and Lindsey Beckham for another unfiltered edition of Uncensored Live, streaming live every Sunday through Thursday. This episode kicks off with a lively introduction to the hosts' daily shows: Catch Shaun and Lindsey on Crossing the Aisle weekdays from noon to 1 PM on WYAB 103.9 FM in Central Mississippi, or stream it worldwide on their YouTube and Facebook channels (with plans to expand to X soon). Clay hosts The Clay Edwards Show every Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 9 AM on the same station, available on social media platforms. As the second full week of this new format rolls on, the trio dives into a mix of throwback stories, local news breakdowns, and fiery discussions on crime, politics, and cultural shifts. Nostalgic Throwbacks and Early Internet Shenanigans: The conversation starts light-hearted with shoutouts to viewers like Junk and RaccoonMan60 on YouTube, sparking a fun chat about quirky usernames tied to old Gmail and AOL accounts. The hosts reminisce about their embarrassing early online handles—Clay's "BudLightAholic69" from AOL chat room days (which hilariously carried over into booking big bands like Papa Roach for his club), Shaun's MySpace monikers like "RedneckRockstar" and "Made of Scars" (inspired by a Stone Sour song), and Lindsey's cringe-worthy Yahoo and MySpace relics. They laugh about deleting MySpace accounts during breakups, getting mad over Top 8 friend lists, and wild road trip antics like writing "Honk if you MySpace" on a Nissan Xterra's window during a chaotic New Orleans adventure. The group reflects on '90s and early 2000s tech: ASL queries in chat rooms, dial-up AOL, illegal downloads via Napster and LimeWire (and the viruses that "gave your computer instant AIDS"), burning CDs, and the excitement of switching to Roadrunner cable modems. They share stories of sketchy online interactions, pondering how many "old men" were lurking in those chat rooms, and tie it back to modern kids' lack of understanding of rejection or dial-up frustrations. Retro Rides and First Cars: Shifting gears, the hosts bond over '90s and 2000s vehicles: Nissan Xterras as the ultimate "2000s car," Mitsubishi Montero Sports aging well, jacked-up Porsche SUVs looking like zombie apocalypse rigs, and first cars like Shaun's 1985 Ford Bronco and a Ford Probe GT. They geek out over Geo Storms, '96 Mustangs, and custom rides, sharing awkward encounters like Clay waving down a neighbor to compliment his vehicle—only to get a cold response. Local News Breakdown: Jackson's Park Pivot and City Improvements: Things get serious with breaking news from the Clarion Ledger: New Jackson Mayor John Horn scraps the Lumumba-era "Pulse at Farish Street" park plan (involving skate parks, pickleball courts, and more) tied to a federal bribery scandal. Instead, the site will become a functional parking lot for the Jackson Convention Complex, addressing long-standing issues like inadequate parking and crumbling lots. The hosts praise the common-sense move, criticizing the original plan's focus on "white" activities like frisbee golf and pickleball in a 90% Black city, and highlight how it could generate revenue without fixed investments. They discuss broader Jackson challenges: crime deterring development, the need for events over permanent fixtures, and how simply stopping "wrong things" (like incompetence in contracts) could heal the city. Shoutouts to Super Chats and viewer support lead to ideas for community events funded by donations. Crime and Altercations: Adams County Incident and Self-Defense Debates: The episode tackles a viral video of an altercation in Adams County near Natchez, where a group of white men assaulted Black cyclist Reginald Butler on a bridge. Butler later returned armed, leading to a second confrontation where he shot one assailant (Cameron Talton) in self-defense, resulting in arrests on both sides (aggravated assault for Butler and others). The hosts dissect the confusing reports, questioning if it's a hate crime (potentially drawing Ben Crump), the role of Butler retrieving a gun, and self-defense laws (no duty to retreat in Mississippi, but leaving and returning complicates claims). They compare it to past cases like a local manslaughter involving a bouncer and emphasize waiting for full context, as initial videos often mislead (citing a Crystal Springs trooper incident). Policy Proposals and Cultural Critiques: Ski Mask Ban and COVID Reflections: Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade's proposal to ban ski masks in public (citing intimidation and evading facial recognition) sparks debate on masks generally—COVID-era "face diapers," hoodies in summer as red flags for crime, and why concealing identity screams suspicion. The hosts slam draconian COVID measures (e.g., Tate Reeves banning boats on reservoirs, restaurant restrictions), praising Florida's pivot while criticizing California's extremes (filling skate parks with sand). They reflect on unaccountable politicians, lost loved ones dying alone, and calls for laws like the "No One Left Alone Act." National Hot Topics: Epstein Files, Trump Admin Drama, and More: The discussion heats up on Jeffrey Epstein files: Trump's shifting stance ("release credible information"), Megyn Kelly's takedown of Ben Shapiro, demands from Mike Johnson, and speculation on black swan events distracting from it. They critique conservative influencers like Charlie Kirk for dodging the topic to maintain access, praise independent voices like Tucker Carlson and Kelly, and tie in Biden's preemptive pardons (e.g., for Fauci, Hunter) as legally dubious blankets covering potential crimes like gain-of-function research linked to millions of deaths. Shoutouts and Local Plugs: Shoutouts to viewers, Super Chats, and local businesses like Mocha Mugs in Rankin County (two locations: drive-thru at the old bank near Burgers Blues Barbecue and another at the Exxon by Kroger). The hosts encourage supporting local spots and tipping generously. Wrap-Up and Teasers: This episode blends humor, nostalgia, and hard-hitting analysis, proving why Uncensored Live is a must-watch for unvarnished takes on Mississippi life and beyond. Tune in tomorrow for more—same time, same raw energy. Follow on YouTube, Facebook, X, and WYAB 103.9 FM. What did you think of the Adams County case or the ski mask ban?

The AIDS crisis devastated our community in the 1980s. It’s an era defined by loss. But those feelings of helplessness gave rise to unprecedented love in the form of caretaking and bold activism. For Marsha, the 80s were all of these things. The era was also marked by a new home and a chosen family in Hoboken, New Jersey. Hear how Marsha found stability, took care of herself, and provided softness and love during one of the darkest moments in our history. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Pediatrician Daniel Johnson discusses his article, "From isolation to innovation: the power of learning communities in health care." He reflects on the collaborative, case-based learning that makes medical training exciting and contrasts it with the professional isolation many physicians experience after graduation. To combat this, Daniel champions Project ECHO, a global telementoring model that creates virtual learning communities. He describes ECHO as "hospital rounds on Zoom," where an "all teach, all learn, all support" environment connects community practitioners with specialists to solve real-world patient cases, from the early days of AIDS to modern challenges like pediatric obesity. The conversation serves as a powerful call to action to formally integrate this model into the entire medical education system, ensuring clinicians remain part of a supportive, collaborative community throughout their careers.

50 years ago Jimmy Connors was at the top of his game and ready to defend his Wimbledon title from a year ago… coming into the finals at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, Jimbo hadn't lost a set to any of his 6 opponents. Arthur Ashe was a huge underdog against the World's #1 player and in fact, many of Ashe's friends didn't attend the match for fear of Jimmy winning convincingly like he had the year prior over Ken Rosewall. But Arthur had different plans… and a strategy that worked perfectly against Connors… The normally hard-hitting Ashe implemented a softer approach, with lobs and drop-shots that kept Jimmy off balance for much of the match… and when it was all said and done, the 40-1 longshot had pulled off one of the biggest upsets in tennis history in becoming the first black man to become a Wimbledon champion winning in 4 sets, 6-1, 6-1, 5-7, 6-4. Already the first black men to win the U.S. Open and the Australian Open, Ashe cemented his place as a tennis legend with this third and final grand glam victory, this one being the least likely of the three. Ashe would win 76 Singles titles in his career, but only 9 more after his Wimbledon triumph, with his final one coming in September of 1978. 18 months later at the age of 36, he retired from tennis and set his sights on bigger things… Like changing the world. The humble athlete wasn't as vociferous as Muhammad Ali when it came to his stances… but he was every bit as effective in getting his point across. He became an advocate for Civil Rights, stood up against South Africa's Apartheid, and founded the Arthur Ashe Foundation for the Defeat of AIDS after contracting HIV from a blood transfusion. He died at the age of 49 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously by President Bill Clinton as well as an award for lifelong contributions to humanitarianism named aptly, the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian of the Year Award in 1993. His life off the court was more impressive than his Hall of Fame career on the court and was chronicled in the documentary ‘Citizen Ashe', directed by Rex Miller and Sam Pollard. Miller grew up a fan of tennis and of Ashe and after a chance encounter with Ashe's widow, Jeanne Moutoussamy, the film had her blessing and Miller's expertise. The result being a wonderful sports doc that the New York Times said “Ashe's story certainly has moments of great drama and high tension, but, as a sports figure, he inspired decidedly undramatic sobriquets like 'the gentle warrior.' This documentary shows you a truer, sharper picture.” Rex Miller tells us how Ashe came up with the strategy that beat Connors in 75 at Wimbledon and how Connors dropped a lawsuit against Arthur the day after the match in England concluded. He tells the story of how he found lost audio tapes of Ashe, that became the primary voice of his film and a goldmine for a director. He recounts how being recruited by UCLA changed his life and how winning at Wimbledon was the crowning moment of his career which gave him a new sense of credibility and opened up his ability to effect change for the rest of his life. It's a show about a tennis player who was much, much more than that. Rex Miller helps tell the story of Arthur Ashe in his film ‘Citizen Ashe' and he does it again on the Past Our Prime podcast.

The UN agency dealing with AIDS and HIV warns of millions of new cases, directly as a result of global funding cuts. We hear from the head of the agency -- and from one of the most exposed countries, South Africa. Also, Ukraine comes under another huge Russian drone and missile attack.

This week, Bryan is joined by theologian, activist, and ballroom historian Michael Roberson to discuss his new book, Ballroom: A History, A Movement, A Celebration. Roberson traces the rich legacy of the ballroom scene—from its origins in resistance and survival, to its role in shaping public health responses during the height of the AIDS crisis and beyond, to its ongoing significance as a spiritual and communal refuge for Black and Latinx queer and trans people.

In this episode, I speak with filmmaker Rachel Mason about her documentary Last Take*: Rust and the Story of Halyna*, which explores the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust. On October 21, 20221, Alec Badwin, who starred in the film, pulled the trigger on a gun he thought was not loaded, killing Halyna and injuring director Joel Souza. Through the lens of grief, media spectacle, and justice. Rachel, a close friend of Halyna's, offers an intimate perspective on the aftermath of the incident and how it was experienced by those who knew Halyna beyond the headlines. We also talk about Rachel's recent docuseries, An Update on Our Family, which investigates the world of family vlogging on YouTube—particularly the story of Myka and James Stauffer, whose decision to rehome their adopted son sparked public outrage and raised ethical questions about online parenting content. Toward the end of our conversation, Rachel talks about her next project, a collaborative effort to unravel a legendary unsolved murder case in Los Angeles. It's a wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation that touches on art, ethics, personal loss, and the complexities of telling true stories in a digital age. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. GUEST BIO Rachel Mason is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker.
