Between War & Here is a one-of-a-kind collaboration, which serves not only as a reminder of the U.S.' ongoing involvement in war, but also as a lens into the complexities of U.S. veterans' experiences. This hour, we sit down with one of the creative forces behind the show and hear from one of its narrators: longtime foreign correspondent Anne Garrels. Plus, we learn about an event at the Mystic Seaport Museum, which spotlights women in the maritime industry.

The music that opens this segment is a 16th century song called The Flowers of the Forest. It was written in memory of the thousands of Scottish soldiers who died in battle in 1513. To this day, this song is played when English or Canadian soldiers are killed in places like Afghanistan. This recording is the title cut on the latest CD from Ensemble Galilei, an early-music chamber group.It is also the opening and closing anthem in a program called Between War and Here, a show that includes narration and music inspired by veterans and their experiences in combat. It’s taking place at the Church of the Redeemer, a collaboration between Ensemble Galilei and veteran war correspondents Anne Garrels and Neal Conan, both formerly with NPR. Anne Garrels had hoped to join us this afternoon, but she is feeling a bit under the weather. But we're delighted that Neal Conan is with us here in Studio A. He’s a former host of All Things Considered and NPR’s Talk of the Nation. These days, he produces and hosts a podcast for public radio called Truth, Politics and Power… Also joining us is Carolyn Surrick, a viola da gamba player who founded Ensemble Galilei twenty years ago, and who is the creative force behind Between War and Here. The show takes its name from the title of a book she published in 2011: a collection of poems inspired by her experiences during seven years of playing concerts for wounded veterans at Washington's Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.On Saturday, March 30 at 7pm, Anne Garrels and Neal Conan will perform Between War and Here with Ensemble Galilei at the Church of the Redeemer in North Baltimore.

War is not an abstraction. And the wounds of war don't stop at the warrior. They reverberate through families and communities. The salient question remains “When does war end?” For veterans and their families and loved ones the answer is complex. “Between War & Here” is a new collaboration between journalists and musicians, exploring honor, courage, loss, and hope, with music, poetry, and memoir.

In the West, people tend to think of Russian President Vladimir Putin as a strongman dictator – a former KGB man who oppresses his people, censors the media and antagonizes Russia’s neighbors. From the outside, it’s hard for anyone to understand how Putin stays in power, let alone stays popular.And Putin is popular. Pollsters put his approval rating at more than 80 percent. It makes perfect sense if you understand Russia.This week on War College, we sit down with Anne Garrels, a longtime Russia correspondent for NPR. Since the collapse of the USSR, Garrels has spent more and more time in smaller Russian cities and towns, getting to know people who don’t live the cosmopolitan lifestyle of the country's capital. Garrels gives the reasons why Russians love Putin, and why it’s in the best interests of the West to understand them. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Guest: Anne Garrels on Putin’s Country: A Journey into the Real Russia. The post A Journey into Putin’s Country appeared first on SRB Podcast.

A popular desire for authoritarian rule in the face of a changing and sometimes shaky economy. A overheated sense of nationalism, to cover up uncertainty about the future. Scapegoating and military adventurism as a salve for a lack of purpose and policy, a dislike of outsiders and a desire to crackdown on journalists to cover up anger about the changing nature of employment.  Sounds like a certain candidate running for President of the US.  In fact, it is a picture of the rise of Vladimir Putin and Russia, as Russia still comes to grips with the change heralded by the Soviet collapse. But to fully understand Putin and Russia, it's important to look beyond Moscow, just as it’s necessary to look past Manhattan or San Francisco to try and understand America. Long time NPR foreign correspondent Anne Garrels has spent decades exploring  the Russia that’s far from Moscow, in what some might call the Russian heartland. Putin Country: A Journey into the Real Russiais her story of twenty plus years of reporting from a town on the southern edge of the Ural Mountains. She reveals a Russia that today embraces a unique combination of Western goods, inherent corruption, and authoritarian rule My conversation with Anne Garrels: 

Dexter Filkins, Baghdad correspondent for The New York Times, Anne Garrels, author of "Naked in Baghdad", George Packer, author of "The Assassin's Gete: America in Iraq", and Larry Diamond discuss the issues of the war in Iraq.
