It's banned books week, as we continue our look at books that have been challenged or banned. This week, it's Gennifer Choldenko's tale “Al Capone Does My Shirts.” Back in 2016, the book was challenged by a group that said the book “perpetuates negative stereotypes” by including Al Capone as a character in the book. And earlier this year, a school board member in Pennsylvania called for a ban on the Newbery Honor book because a character called an autistic teenager stupid. The school says the books are selected by professional staff members to support the district's educataional goals and meet the learning needs of students. The writer dedicated the book to her sister who had severe autism and was the inspiration for the character. What do you think? Give a listen to our discussion of Jennifer Cheldenko's “Al Capone Does My Shirts.” It was a rainy, muddy, fabulous day at the Gaithersburg Book Festival where this group of middle school students from Maryland discussed whether they'd like living on Alcatraz and if it's better to be the oldest or youngest in the family. Gennifer Choldenko answers their questions about researching her book AL CAPONE DOES MY SHIRTS. NPR newscaster Jack Speer is celebrity reader. Past Book Club for Kids guests drop by as well. Kitty Felde is host.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on a color-coding system at Florida detention center.
Hundreds of migrants have vanished from official records after being held at Florida’s so-called “Alligator Alcatraz,” leaving families and lawyers in the dark. With reports of abuse, secretive contracts, and mounting legal challenges, the state-run detention center has become a symbol of Donald Trump’s aggressive mass deportation agenda.

Horror author and editor Taryn Womack joins Rich and co-host Kayla Deickman to talk ghost hunting in Gettysburg, haunted dolls, and her short-story collection Down a Dark Road. She opens up about writing vs. editing, the reality of self-publishing and marketing, and why campfire-style micro-stories can still deliver big chills. You'll also hear actionable ideas for audiobook production, gift-shop placement, and turning local legends into page-turners. Sponsored by Harford County Living Guest Bio: Taryn Womack is a Maryland-based horror author and editor with a B.A. in English (creative writing & publication) from the University of Baltimore (2019). Her collection Down a Dark Road (2023) gathers campfire-style short horror stories inspired by hauntings, mines, and eerie objects; she's currently drafting a romantasy novel and developing a haunted-antiques concept. When she's not writing or editing, Taryn explores historic sites (hello, Gettysburg) and works in Bel Air, MD—often swapping critiques (and jokes) with best friend and illustrator Kayla Deickman. Main Topics: · “Down a Dark Road”: concept, timeline, and favorite stories (“The Mines,” “The Doll,” “Snowman”)· Ghost-tour inspirations: Gettysburg's Jenny Wade House & the Orphanage, Alcatraz daytime tour· Haunted dolls & The Conjuring universe; why real porcelain/Raggedy Ann-style dolls are scarier than movie props· Writing vs. editing: process, drafts, beta reads, and Taryn's editing style/preferences· Self-publishing realities (IngramSpark vs. KDP), royalties, and why buying direct helps authors· Marketing on a budget: podcasts, campground gift shops, seasonal bundles, audiobook casting ideas· Overcoming writer's block; why “the first draft always sucks” and how to push through· Local-legend story ideas: Chessie, Black Aggie, Maryland folklore, Havre de Grace/Jerusalem Mill angles Resources mentioned: · Down a Dark Road by Taryn Womack (short horror collection; 2023)· Gettysburg ghost tours; Jenny Wade House; the Orphanage (story “The Doll” inspiration)· Alcatraz (day tour)Send us a textDonate HereSupport the showRate & Review on Apple Podcasts Follow the Conversations with Rich Bennett podcast on Social Media:Facebook – Conversations with Rich Bennett Facebook Group (Join the conversation) – Conversations with Rich Bennett podcast group | FacebookTwitter – Conversations with Rich Bennett Instagram – @conversationswithrichbennettTikTok – CWRB (@conversationsrichbennett) | TikTok Sponsors, Affiliates, and ways we pay the bills:Hosted on BuzzsproutSquadCast Subscribe by Email
“Un sitio clandestino extrajudicial”: denuncian la desaparición de cientos de inmigrantes detenidos en “el Alcatraz de los caimanes” de Florida
It's hard to see Chris Wuergler as an action movie afficianato but she's brought us more action movies than anyone else. Trouble is, now she's brought us The Rock, a slam-bam action movie that makes no sense at all - at least according to Jim. Guest engineer Kristian Reimer tries to keep things on an even keel in this episode that's just about as crazy as the movie.
Today's Headlines: A gunman opened fire from a Dallas rooftop into an ICE detention center yesterday, killing one detainee, critically injuring two others, and then taking his own life. The FBI says they found a bullet at the scene marked “ANTI-ICE,” and are investigating the shooting as targeted ideological violence. Meanwhile, Trump's Justice Department is reportedly teeing up criminal charges against former FBI director James Comey (for allegedly lying to Congress in 2020) and pushing a shaky mortgage fraud case against New York AG Letitia James—after swapping out the U.S. attorney who refused to pursue it. Over in late-night drama, Jimmy Kimmel pulled 6 million viewers for his defiant return, which sent Trump into an all-caps meltdown online threatening ABC. FCC chair Brendan Carr, who helped push Kimmel's initial suspension, says he's not stopping there—hinting at targeting The View and even SNL next. Also, two GOP reps are pushing to mint $400,000 coins featuring Charlie Kirk's face (yes, real currency). On the Hill, Democrats flipped Raul Grijalva's Arizona seat with his daughter Adelita, giving them 218 votes—just enough to force a floor vote on releasing the Epstein files. That news came as an anonymous golden statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands briefly appeared on the National Mall before being quietly removed. And in Florida, records suggest that more than 1,200 men detained at the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” ICE camp this summer have since gone missing from government databases, with officials giving only vague “call ICE” notes as explanations. Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: AP News: 1 detainee killed and 2 others critically injured in Dallas ICE facility, Homeland Security says MSNBC: Former FBI Director James Comey facing imminent indictment threat Bloomberg: Justice Department Presses Ahead With James Mortgage Fraud Case The Daily Beast: Trump Rages at Kimmel's Defiant Comeback by Threatening ABC NYT: The F.C.C.'s Brendan Carr Plans to Keep Going After the Media Following Jimmy Kimmel's Return Miami Herald: GOP lawmakers push for Charlie Kirk likeness on US coins. ‘Permanent recognition' NYT: Arizona Democrat's Win Clinches Bid to Force Epstein Files Vote WAPo: Park Service removes statue of Trump and Epstein from National Mall in D.C.

Kaj Larsen: From Navy SEAL to Groundbreaking Journalist This week on the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie welcome an extraordinary guest whose life reads like an action thriller—Kaj Larsen. Born in Santa Cruz, California, Kaj earned his Political Science degree from UC Santa Cruz and went on to Harvard's Kennedy School of Government for a master's in Public Policy, where he was a Shorenstein Center fellow and a joint fellow at Tufts Jebsen Center for Counter-Terrorism Studies. Kaj's journey is anything but ordinary. Before breaking stories on global conflict zones, he served five years on active duty as a U.S. Navy SEAL Lieutenant leading special operations overseas. He continues to serve in the SEAL reserves with U.S. Special Operations Command. As an award-winning filmmaker and journalist, Kaj has reported from some of the most dangerous places on earth—Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, and beyond—producing groundbreaking documentaries on terrorism, national security, and humanitarian crises. He's been a senior correspondent at NowThis News, hosted the Emmy Award-winning VICE on HBO, and developed the Vanguard Journalism series for Current TV. Kaj made headlines for being the first journalist to bring waterboarding to public attention—by undergoing it himself on camera—and for breaking media silence in Mogadishu as the first Western TV journalist there in over a decade. Outside the newsroom, Kaj is a two-time national open-water swimming champion, an Escape from Alcatraz duathlon competitor, and a dedicated practitioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai boxing. His commitment to service extends beyond reporting: he co-founded The Mission Continues and serves on the boards of Team Rubicon Global and other veteran service organizations, deploying for humanitarian missions around the world. Join us as Kaj shares stories from his remarkable career—what it takes to tell the truth from the frontlines, the lessons learned from military service and global reporting, and why resilience and service are at the heart of his mission. Tune in for a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at a life dedicated to serving, reporting, and making an impact on a global scale. In this episode you will hear: • [COVID} Here's a crisis that is about health, and you're shutting down wellness. (7:10) • Murph was my roommate when I first got to BUD/S. He's the first person I met.

(42:37) • I could cover any story I wanted, anywhere in the world. Anything I thought was important. (60:52) • I was always working on helping veterans (62:56) • Purpose maters. (64:09) • The real truth is the greatest and most consistent ways for Americans to build wealth over the last 50 years has been investing in the stock market.

Florida's “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration detention facility in the Everglades has generated considerable buzz and controversy since it was first proposed by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier.In this episode, we sat down with Uthmeier to discuss Florida's aggressive efforts to curb illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking, what he sees as the politicization of the U.S. census, and his investigations into surveillance technology.“In Florida, the most recent investigation we launched was into a company, Lorex. They make in-home or in-business cameras, everything from baby cams to nanny cams, doorbell cameras. … They capture the imagery of everything people are doing at home, and consumers do not know about it,” Uthmeier says.Is Florida creating a model for how America can confront its greatest vulnerabilities—and is it testing the boundaries of state power?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has halted the imminent closure of the infamous "Alligator Alcatraz” detention camp in Florida; now, the future of the facility, and the people incarcerated within it, remains in limbo. “But no matter the future of Alligator Alcatraz, the Trump administration is turning it into a model for expanding detention capacity across the country,” Shannon Heffernan and Beth Schwartzapfel report at The Marshall Project. “Similar large-scale facilities, opened in collaboration with state governments, are already in the works. These projects mark the first time that states have gotten this involved in large-scale immigration detention.” In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa speaks with Heffernan about how the Trump administration, in collaboration with state governments, is expanding the US system of mass incarceration to unprecedented levels.

Dans la nuit du 11 juin 1962, trois hommes déjouent la vigilance de leurs gardiens et s'évadent de la prison-forteresse réputée inviolable : Alcatraz.

Sont-ils morts noyés dans les eaux glaciales de la baie de San Francisco ? Plongez dans cette nuit trépidante où l'appel de la liberté a triomphé de l'impossible.

Marc Cox talks with Eben Brown about the legal fight over “Alligator Alcatraz,” the detention center in the Florida Everglades facing conflicting court orders and jurisdiction disputes. They also discuss a new ICE facility at Angola Prison in Louisiana that will house criminal migrants for DHS. The segment wraps with a look at Chicago's high homicide numbers, often reported between 700 and 800 a year, and the political debate around crime statistics.
The Florida detention center, "Alligator Alcatraz," may close, but what can you learn from its short but impactful run?First, the name echoes old Southern American racist tropes and adapts them for a modern audience. Second, its casually playful name is a blueprint for other detention centers popping up across the United States. But what does this all add up to?In this episode, Brittany, freelance journalist Asher Elbein, and Miami Herald race and identity reporter Raisa Habersham unpack the racist trope of alligators in Florida and how the joke-ified name of the facility dehumanizes its inmates.For handpicked podcast recommendations every week, subscribe to NPR's Pod Club newsletter at npr.org/podclub.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
Alcatraz was designed to be an inescapable prison for America's most dangerous criminals. But in 1946, a desperate breakout attempt by its prisoners forced battle-hardened U.S. Marines – fresh from the islands of the Pacific – to lay siege to the fortress on their own shores.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

OA1185 - The rule of law has never been put more to the test in this country, and we do our best to keep up with at least a few of the most important decent developments. We begin with a brief review of the current status of wrongfully-deported Salvadoran asylum seeker Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Why is the Trump administration desperately trying to re-deport this Central American man whom they already fully admit was deported to hell by mistake to… Uganda? Matt explains. Then: Did a federal judge really just shutter Florida's “Alligator Alcatraz”? We consider the history of this surprisingly significant swampland and why an environmental challenge to its existence was so much easier to win than one based in due process, while also celebrating a major win for native rights. Another major presidential first this week: for the first time in US history, the President has claimed the authority to fire a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Could this one decision really have global economic consequences? How much does it matter that Trump has done literally the one thing that the Supreme Court has ever told him *not* to do? We review some basics to try to understand the full magnitude of what this all means for our current moment before moving on to today's footnote: an outstanding decision from a Virginia federal judge which should stand as a model for how the judiciary can stand up to American fascism. Kilmar Abrego Garcia's Motion to Dismiss Based on Vindictive and Selective Prosecution Abrego Garcia habeas docket SCOTUS shadow docket order in Trump v. Wilcox (5/22/2025) Judge Williams's order closing “Alligator Alcatraz” (8/21/2025) Order granting motion to dismiss in U.S. v.

President Trump has called illegal immigration an “invasion” and what has followed is a huge rise in the arrest and detention of migrants. Some have ended up in ‘Alligator Alcatraz' - an immigration detention centre that was speedily constructed in June, deep in the Florida swampland. ‘Alligator Alcatraz' is now subject to a number of lawsuits. Immigration attorneys say they have not been granted proper access to clients inside; environmentalists claim the detention centre is harming the protected wetlands that surround it. Within the last few days, a judge has ruled that much of the detention centre must be dismantled and no new migrants taken there. It is a preliminary ruling and the government immediately filed an appeal. Josephine Casserly follows immigration lawyer Mich Gonzalez as he attempts to meet his client inside the detention centre. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.
