The American sport and tradition of football has a long and violent history. One team that was never supposed to actually compete with the large Ivy League schools ended up not only winning, but also changing the game of football itself into something we would recognize as modern day football. The Carlisle Indian Industrial School was built with the express purpose in mind to strip their native culture, traditions, and beliefs, in place for Anglo-American culture, traditions, and belief. It was made up of children as young as 6 and as old as 25. Sources: Archivists, Curators. “Records.” Carlisle Indian School Digital Resource Center, 2010, carlisleindian.dickinson.edu/.

On September 6, 1992, two young hikers from Anchorage arrived at the old Fairbanks city bus #142, a makeshift shelter located on the Stampede Trail, twenty-five miles west of Healy. They immediately noted a stench emanating from the bus. A red leg warmer swung from an alder branch near the vehicle's rear door. A note taped to the door terrified the hikers. It read: S.O.S. I NEED YOUR HELP. I AM INJURED, NEAR DEATH, AND TOO WEAK TO HIKE OUT OF HERE. I AM ALL ALONE, THIS IS NO JOKE. IN THE NAME OF GOD, PLEASE REMAIN TO SAVE ME.

A very modern, NYC retelling of the Jane Austen classic, “Emma,” Taylor Hahn's “The Lifestyle” is a beach read that will make you blush! The lawyer turned novelist joins Olivia in the podcast studio of her Arizona hometown to talk about the research she did- and didn't do- to learn the swinger lifestyle for her sexy story. The married attorney turned novelist talked about the eye-opening research that went into writing the story of Georgina Wagman (think Cher from Clueless, but smart and grown up,) and her sex-positive solution to saving her marriage after catching her husband with another woman. From a seemingly perfect life to complicated chaos, Hahn's protagonist is funny and endearing and the cast of characters go through change that the writer found not just entertaining but meaningful. Taylor talks about her love for Peloton instructor Robin Arzon, and how one of her playlists played a key role in inspiring THE LIFESTYLE. THE LIFESTYLE, published by Anchor Books, is out now.

Joe Papp was responsible for some of modern American theater's most iconic institutions: New York City's free Shakespeare in the Park. The Public Theater. The whole idea of "Off-Broadway." We spoke with Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan about Papp's life and works, from his hardscabble childhood, through the frightening era of Joe McCarthy, to the founding of Shakespeare in the Park and The Public. Published in 2009, Turan's epic oral history of the early years of the New York Shakespeare Festival and The Public Theater is called Free for All: Joe Papp, the Public, and the Greatest Theater Story Ever Told. To create that book, he spent untold hours with Joe Papp and also talked with New York politicians, Broadway producers, and seemingly everyone else who helped Papp make Shakespeare in the Park a reality, including performers like James Earl Jones, George C. Scott, Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Colleen Dewhurst, Tommy Lee Jones, and a Staten Island car-wash employee who would go on to play Romeo under the stage name of Martin Sheen. Turan is interviewed by Barbara Bogaev. Kenneth Turan was film critic for the Los Angeles Times and National Public Radio's Morning Edition. Free for All: Joe Papp, the Public, and the Greatest Theater Story Ever Told was published by Anchor Books, a division of Random House. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series.

SRA victor Lisa Meister is back as our Guest of Honor for Episode 1 of Season 2! There are many reasons why Lisa was the perfect person to have on for the season premier and the fact that it goes live on Halloween this year and Lisa has been actively speaking out against Halloween on social media just solidified the decision! Born into the occult, Lisa began having recall of SRA at the age of 29 and her whole world as she knew it turned upside down, We told her story her first time on the show, and in this episode, we discuss what healing strategies and modalities helped her get to where she is today - successful entrepreneur, content creator, book author, public speaker, podcast host, wife, mother, and so much more. This time of year can be especially hard for occult and SRA survivors as many of the biggest rituals of the year are centered around what we celebrate as 'Halloween'. Seeing all the horror paraphernalia - costumes, masks, jack-o-lanterns, horror movies, blood, gore - can be very traumatic because it is all mocking the torture that ritual abuse survivors endure on Halloween and all year round. Lisa talks to us about how Halloween is a celebration of the demonic and she makes a very valid plea asking society to stop celebrating it as well (I will no longer celebrate this day either!). We also had a terrific discussion about the role God played in her healing and she gives us some insight second book, "You've Got the Wrong Guy" which is a fantastic resource for anyone who needs guidance in establishing or reestablishing their relationship with God.

America's home-spun religion of Mormonism has a bloody past. The founder Joseph Smith was murdered, and the Saints run out of various places they settled. This us-versus-them mentality really fermented in the Great Salt Valley where Brigham Young whipped his flock into a frenzy about interlopers and outsiders. Strange Country cohosts Beth and Kelly talk about how that volatile mx led to some Mormons murdering approximately 120 adults and children heading to California in 1857 in Mountain Meadows, and then blamed it on the Paiute.

This is a long episode.  Mainly because this is a complex and complicated area.  Also though, Dawn and I are research colleagues and friends too.  In this episode we get into a whole host of interesting and linked topics: Impression Management - how we work (non)strategically to manage how others see us Self Presentation - how we will work to present our 'best possible self' according to context Face and facework - the lines we negotiate, others give us or let us take in interaction and how they shape our identity(ies) Dark side of EI - how emotional intelligence can be used to change behaviour of others Principles of Influence - linking to Cialdini's 6 principles (Authority, Liking, Social Proof, Scarcity, Commitment and Consistency and Reciprocity) This was a joy to record and I hope that you enjoy listening to it.  Yes, it is a) long b) geeky c) academic at times d) practical at times  It is also a whole lot of fun and you, dear listener, are getting a deep insight into human interaction.  ENJOY!!!!

Hanya Yanagihara is the guest. Her novel A Little Life was a finalist for the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Award, and it is now available in trade paperback from Anchor Books.  I feel like A Little Life is having the kind of existence that pretty much all writers hope their books will have. It seems to provoke passionate responses. The people who love it really fucking love it and the people who hate it are incensed by it and there are way more people who love it than hate it. You can't ask for much more than that.  Hanya was only in town for a day and pretty solidly booked but she found an hour to come over and talk with me, and for that I'm grateful. I learned a lot from her. She knows her shit, and she really fought hard for her novel. She fought hard to see her vision of this book realized, and she's protective of it in a way that seems both smart and endearing. Also: it paid off huge. Few works of literary fiction strike a nerve the way this book has struck a nerve. Also: it's 700 pages long and she wrote it in 18 months. Also: she doesn't own a cell phone.   In today's monologue, I give a quick update on the health of my son and share news about some appearances I'll be making during AWP here in Los Angeles in April.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Nearly twenty years after the death of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, biographers are not only continuing to tell her story but finding provocative new ways to do so. In particular, a big bravo to William Kuhn for considering the former First Lady in a context that (a) has nothing to with her husbands, and (b) brings fresh perspective. Jackie's post-“Camelot” years–namely, her marriage to Onassis and her publishing career–are often given short shrift, but Reading Jackie: Her Autobiography in Books (Anchor Books, 2011) steps in to fill the later gap and it's downright revelatory. What we read reveals much about who we are. That's the idea behind Reading Jackie and it seems simple enough. But, in viewing Jackie Onassis's life through the lens of the books she edited, Kuhn produces something quite sophisticated- a nuanced portrait of a thwarted artist for whom reading was a vital means of participating in the art world. As Kuhn writes: “That sense early on of what she could not do was at the nub of Jackie's self-image as a reader. Coupled with the sense of limitation was a determination to work around it, to participate in the creative and artistic activity that gripped her imagination.” It's a daring approach and more than a little meta –to write a biography examining a series of books with the claim that they comprise the biographical subject's autobiography– but Kuhn more than pulls it off. He clearly delights in both his subject and her work, and one leaves Reading Jackie not only with an appreciation of Jackie Onassis's books, but also a renewed appreciation of her- this woman “who helped put enduring statements of why art matters into print.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Fritjof Capra Science for Sustainable Living To understand how nature sustains life, we need to move from biology to ecology, because sustained life is a property of an ecosystem rather than a single organism or species. Over billions of years of evolution, the Earth’s ecosystems have evolved certain principles of organization to sustain the web of life. Knowledge of these principles of organization, or principles of ecology, is what we mean by “ecological literacy.” Join Michael Lerner in conversation with physicist and systems theorist Fritjof Capra about ecological literacy and the science of sustainable living. Fritjof Capra Fritjof, physicist and systems theorist, is a founding director of the Center for Ecoliteracy in Berkeley, California, which is dedicated to promoting ecology and systems thinking in primary and secondary education. He is on the faculty of Schumacher College, an international center for ecological studies in the United Kingdom. Dr. Capra is the author of several international bestsellers, including The Tao of Physics , The Web of Life, and The Hidden Connections: A Science for Sustainable Living. His most recent book, The Science of Leonardo, was published in paperback by Anchor Books in December 2008. Find out more on his website. Find out more about The New School at tns.commonweal.org.
