One of our favorite power couples is back! The AP first dubbed them the Transgender Power Couple. Journalist Erin Reed was formerly the digital director of The American Independent. She currently writes for the Los Angeles Blade and Harpers Bazaar.. She is a researcher who tracks anti-LGBTQ+ legislation around the world and helps people become better advocates for their queer family, friends, colleagues, and community. Reed also is a social media consultant and public speaker. Her fiance is Zooey Zephyr, member of the Montana House of Representatives from the 100th district.  Zephyr was a vocal opponent of multiple anti-LGBT bills introduced during the 2023 legislative session. During a floor debate on April 18, 2023, Zephyr admonished those who supported Senate Bill 99, which prohibits gender-affirming medical and surgical care for minors. She first commented, "If you are forcing a trans child to go through puberty when they are trans, that is tantamount to torture, and this body should be ashamed."  When this remark triggered an objection from Republican majority leader Sue Vinton, Zephyr replied, "The only thing I will say is if you vote 'yes' on this bill and 'yes' on these amendments, I hope the next time there's an invocation when you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands." This led to a massive attempt by the state Republicans to censure her and silence her. Months ago we enjoyed a rigorous conversation with these two about the state of transgender rights, and today we get their insights on that subject from the purview of the DNC, plus discussion on current issues.

Susan Seidelman Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson I've been desperately seeking Susan Seidelman for 14 years… some things, some Susans, are worth waiting for! Loved every second with this film maverick whom I've admired since we were both kicking around Greenwich Village, kinda “bad girls,” who looked, good. There's so much common thread (well, except the whole success thing), as Susan points out when we traded books, do all Jewish girls from New York have the word “Mother” in their subtitles? That's how I finally got the affirmative nod. Susan's memoir, Desperately Seeking Something: A Memoir About Movies, Mothers, and Material Girls, drops on June 18th, a few days after my mother's birthday. Fitting. I've been flying through it, unable to put it down, and rewatching Susan's classics. How many times have I seen Desperately Seeking Susan, Madonna's first and best film role, how Susan fought for her, Roseanna, how she struggled a bit with her, lessons learned, and success beyond imagining. Smithereen's, Susan's first film, was also the first American Independent feature to be screened at Cannes. We get back and front story here. Casting Wren, some hardships turned into blessings. Making Mr. Right... her casting and why… and She Devil - which featured Meryl Streep's first comedic role, and Roseann Barr's first feature. Meeting Meryl for the first time… Sex and The City, where Susan directed the pilot and the first 3 episodes… with Susan, so many firsts! We didn't even get to the latter today (but, it's in the book!) there were so many films to mine! We talked about how she came to film and squeezed in a few more… Cookie, Musical Chairs, and The Boynton Beach Club, her mother's original idea which Susan honed and ran with. All of Susan's films break ground, spin things around, and are ahead of their time. Both Wren (Susan Berman) in Smithereens and Susan (Madonna) in Desperately, open the films with selfies for starters… I mean, come on! Susan Seidelman is important. As a woman, a filmmaker, and now as an author. Treat yourself! Stream her films and race to Amazon and preorder her fabulous memoir https://bit.ly/3RjlWqbn you'll get the heart and soul behind each of her treasures. Susan's writing is open, vulnerable, and as riveting as her movies.

Felicia Maroni (Seeing Faces in Movies) joins the show to discuss the first half of John Cassavetes' filmography: Shadows (1958); Too Late Blues (1961); A Child is Waiting (1963); Faces (1968); Husbands (1970); and Minnie & Moskowicz (1971). When we talk about John Cassavetes, we're talking about the history of American independent movies, from what preceded and influenced the movement, to how the format adapted and was deeply influenced by the style of indie auteurs like Cassavetes. By studying this filmmaking tradition, we can give shape to a whole world of cinema crafted outside the system and trace every step of contemporary productions back to their root source. By working outside the system and against the market, Cassavetes created a new system and a new market. We explore the eccentricities of this improvisational and naturalistic filmmaker who changed movies forever, one Opening Night, one Face, one Husband, one Chinese Bookie, and one Woman Under the Influence at a time. Stay tuned as Felicia will return for the second half of our series, and some of the most influential indie films of all time, next month.

Katie Paris is a 20-year veteran of national politics and an Ohio suburban mom. She moved to Ohio from Washington, DC, almost ten years ago, but it wasn't until the 2018 election that she quit her job in national politics to focus closer to home. Once she started meeting with other suburban women across the state, she started Red Wine & Blue to create suburban mom infrastructure that could fight disinformation and win campaigns. She now has a staff of 15 organizers and content creators and a national network of over 300,000 women who believe in inclusivity, vulnerability, and courage (best explained by the NYT episode of “The Daily”: The Field: Why Suburban Women Changed Their Minds and the Washington Post article: "‘Blue' suburban moms are mobilizing to counter conservatives"). Red Wine & Blue's latest campaign is focused on fighting back against book banning and attacks on public education. Previously, she was CEO of Shareblue Media (now American Independent), Executive Vice President of Media Matters (which she helped launch as its first research director in 2004), and Program and Communications Director at Faith in Public Life (which she also helped found). Prior to building national organizations, Katie worked on gubernatorial, senate, and presidential campaigns. She lives in Shaker Heights, OH with her husband and two young sons. @redwineblueusahttps://redwine.blue/www.citizensofsound.comwww.howcanihelppod.com www.mysaintmyhero.com DISCOUNT CODE: HOWIHELP

Redistricting Stalemate in Ohio Continues; Questions Raised About State Supreme Court JusticeToday's LinksArticles:Ohio Capital Journal - Public awaits more redistricting work, but new law gives court little leeway to force itState of Ohio - Redistricting Commission MembersThe American Independent - Ohio Justice Pat DeWine won't recuse himself from gerrymandering cases involving his dadPrinceton Gerrymandering Project - Ohio's Redistricting ProcessGroups Taking Action:  League of Women Voters OH,  Fair Districts Ohio, Equal Districts CoalitionYou're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.We have two stories today from Ohio.  We're updating our series of stories about Ohio's ongoing redistricting fiasco, and in a related story, the refusal of a justice on Ohio's Supreme Court to recuse himself.You'll remember from our earlier reports that Ohio had a referendum to ban gerrymandering and established a seven-member redistricting commission, which includes Governor Mike DeWine, the Secretary of State, the State Auditor and legislators as members.   But the commission's maps were rejected as gerrymandered by the Ohio Supreme Court. Responsibility then bounced to the Ohio General Assembly, which drew its own heavily gerrymandered maps for the state legislature and Congress.  Multiple versions of those maps were also rejected by the Ohio Supreme Court as against Ohio's constitution. Court appeals continue, but the Ohio Capital Journal reports that the Ohio high court issued a 30-day timeline to the Commission to redraw the maps, and if they don't, it goes back to the legislature.  The Commission has taken no action, and the legislature's leadership says it intends to do nothing, forcing a stalemate.   It's not clear who will blink first, or what body will have the final say.  As if there wasn't enough drama, as a member of the Redistricting Commission, Governor Mike DeWine is a defendant in cases before the Ohio Supreme Court,  and his son, Pat DeWine, is one of the seven justices.  A story this week in the American Independent reports that the younger DeWine has refused to recuse himself from a number of cases involving his father, including . . .  redistricting. Links to articles and groups taking action are at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org.  Granny D said, “Democracy is not something we HAVE, it's something we DO.” For the American Democracy Minute, I'm Brian Beihl

Did the American independent inventor ever go extinct? In his new book, American Independent Inventors In An Era of Corporate R&D, Eric S. Hintz argues that they persisted despite the development of corporate R&D during the twentieth century. In his new book Hintz explores the relationship between independent inventors and corporate R&D departments. While corporate R&D departments did eventually supplant independent inventors in terms of annual patents per year, independent inventors never faded away. Corporate R&D labs often benefited from larger budgets, and stronger political connections than independent inventors. Still, this relationship wasn't strictly adversarial, often times corporate labs found themselves working with independent inventors, whether by licensing their patents or bringing them on as temporary consultants.

Writer/Director Jason Carvey speaks with Tom about writing "Till Death" with Megan Fox now available on Netflix. Jason first appeared on the American Independent film scene in the mid 2000's with his crime caper "A New Wave" with John Krasinski! We look back on his path to success.    

In this episode of Perspectives, we speak with Eric Hintz, author of American Independent Inventors in an Era of Corporate R&D. In his book, Eric Hintz describes how American independent inventors continued to innovate after the so-called "Golden Era of Invention" of the mid-to-late 19th century. Hintz argues that, while the first half of the twentieth century saw the rise of corporate R&D that internalized invention within large firms, independent inventors such as Chester Carlson, Samuel Ruben, and others continued to develop important technologies outside of the corporate structure. However, large firms did not always compete or try to do away with independent inventors; indeed, they often collaborated with independent inventors when they could not produce useful or profitable technologies in-house. Hintz discusses the importance of the American patent system for the viability of invention, and notes the ways in which women and African-American inventors were able to use the patent system to not only profit from their creations, but also bolster their arguments for equal rights. Dr. Hintz ends by noting that the independent inventor is still alive and well in American society in the 21st century, especially in the areas of computing and biotechnology. Eric Hintz is a historian with the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.

Wonder how America's individual inventors persisted alongside corporate R&D labs as an important source of inventions beginning at the turn of the early twentieth century? American Independent Inventors in an Era of Corporate R&D (MIT Press, 2021) by Eric S. Hintz presents a candid look into the history behind the phenomenon. During the nineteenth century, heroic individual inventors such as Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell created entirely new industries while achieving widespread fame. However, by 1927, a New York Times editorial suggested that teams of corporate scientists at General Electric, AT&T, and DuPont had replaced the solitary "garret inventor" as the wellspring of invention. But these inventors never disappeared. In this book, Eric Hintz argues that lesser-known inventors such as Chester Carlson (Xerox photocopier), Samuel Ruben (Duracell batteries), and Earl Tupper (Tupperware) continued to develop important technologies throughout the twentieth century. Moreover, Hintz explains how independent inventors gradually fell from public view as corporate brands increasingly became associated with high-tech innovation. Focusing on the years from 1890 to 1950, Hintz documents how American independent inventors competed (and sometimes partnered) with their corporate rivals, adopted a variety of flexible commercialization strategies, established a series of short-lived professional groups, lobbied for fairer patent laws, and mobilized for two world wars. After 1950, the experiences of independent inventors generally mirrored the patterns of their predecessors, and they continued to be overshadowed during corporate R&D's postwar golden age. The independents enjoyed a resurgence, however, at the turn of the twenty-first century, as Apple's Steve Jobs and Shark Tank's Lori Greiner heralded a new generation of heroic inventor-entrepreneurs. By recovering the stories of a group once considered extinct, Hintz shows that independent inventors have long been—and remain—an important source of new technologies.

Wonder how America's individual inventors persisted alongside corporate R&D labs as an important source of inventions beginning at the turn of the early twentieth century? American Independent Inventors in an Era of Corporate R&D (MIT Press, 2021) by Eric S. Hintz presents a candid look into the history behind the phenomenon. During the nineteenth century, heroic individual inventors such as Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell created entirely new industries while achieving widespread fame. However, by 1927, a New York Times editorial suggested that teams of corporate scientists at General Electric, AT&T, and DuPont had replaced the solitary "garret inventor" as the wellspring of invention. But these inventors never disappeared. In this book, Eric Hintz argues that lesser-known inventors such as Chester Carlson (Xerox photocopier), Samuel Ruben (Duracell batteries), and Earl Tupper (Tupperware) continued to develop important technologies throughout the twentieth century. Moreover, Hintz explains how independent inventors gradually fell from public view as corporate brands increasingly became associated with high-tech innovation. Focusing on the years from 1890 to 1950, Hintz documents how American independent inventors competed (and sometimes partnered) with their corporate rivals, adopted a variety of flexible commercialization strategies, established a series of short-lived professional groups, lobbied for fairer patent laws, and mobilized for two world wars. After 1950, the experiences of independent inventors generally mirrored the patterns of their predecessors, and they continued to be overshadowed during corporate R&D's postwar golden age.

This week, Joshua Holland kicks off the show with a look at how conservative dark money groups are running scared at the thought of Democratic electoral reforms. Then we're joined by The Washington Post's Paul Waldman to talk about Joe Biden's big infrastructure and jobs bill, and the rapidly changing politics in Congress. Finally, we welcome Kaili Joy Gray, executive editor of The American Independent, to run through the bizarre scandal that has engulfed performative wingnut Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida and indulge in a little gloating.PlaylistRev.

In a shorter interview with fellow Jersey girl Emily Singer from the American Independent, Lisa asks how she juggles a busy work schedule, an 18 month old and a busy life -- all while maintaining her sense of humor.

Liz Preza and Joshua Holland kick off this week's show by recoiling in horror at the thought of sexy-time with Rudy Giuliani -- and by wondering if Borat will end up saving the republic.    Then we're joined by Oliver Willis, a senior writer at The American Independent, for a wide-ranging discussion of what a post-Trump GOP might look like, and what Democrats should and definitely not learn from Trump if they manage to regain power in January. (And Joshua continues his tireless campaign lobbying Oliver to get another dog.)

In episode thirty-one of movies imo., Ben, Brandon, and Daniel yell over each other about Chloé Zhao's poetic slice of Badlands realness in THE RIDER. From there they jump off into the roots of Italian Neorealism with ROME, OPEN CITY and the American Independent cinema's current fascination with hyper-realism in the films of Sean Baker and the Safdies. Ben delivers the Rossellini keynote, Daniel loves Zhao's dance between docu-verité and self-conscious style, and Brandon becomes the bully now.
