Podcast appearances and mentions of barbara fields

We are joined by historian Gabriel Raeburn to discuss the thought of Eugene Genovese, a firebrand Marxist historian who fundamentally transformed the academic study of slavery in the United States and who, with Christopher Lasch, attempted to launch Marxist Perspectives, a serious Marxist-centered journal that brought together the entirety of the global intellectual literati and leading Marxist scholars of the time. With the backing of the most prominent Marxists of the time, from E.P. Thompson, Eric Hobsbawm, Frederic Jameson and with support from young scholars such as Barbara Fields, the journal promised to usher in a new era of Marxist intellectual output that aimed to crossover to the public. But the journal soon dissolved after only two years. With C. Derick Varn of @VarnVlog we discuss the dynamics of what led to the dissolution of this journal and what these lessons can teach us today as we aim to infuse Marxist thinking and scholarship beyond the academy. We also discuss the thought of Eugene Genovese and Christopher Lasch, the two primary scholars behind Marxist Perspectives. To learn more about Gabriel Raeburn and to be in touch with him should you have access to any letters of Genovese for his ongoing research, please find his bio here.

Kate Wolf is joined by the acclaimed artist and filmmaker Martine Syms to discuss her new exhibition Loser Back Home, currently on view at Spruth Magers in Los Angeles. Sym's work in the show encompasses video, sculpture, painting, photography, installation, publishing, and clothes. It merges recognizable brand names with personal ephemera to create a form of self-portraiture and explores the slippery nature of self as distilled through technology, as well as a state of "dysplacement"—a term coined by the historian Barbara Fields to describe the loss of a shared sense of connection to one's familiar or home country. Last fall, Syms also released her first narrative feature film, The African Desperate, which she co-wrote and directed. The African Desperate (now streaming on MUBI) takes place over the course of 24-hours in the life of an artist named Palace on the day she receives her Masters of Fine Arts degree at a small college in upstate New York, combining formal innovation with humor, pathos, and astute social commentary. Also, Craig Seligman, author of Who Does That Bitch Think She is?, returns to recommend Liz Brown's Twilight Man: Love and Ruin in the Shadows of Hollywood and the Clark Empire .

In this special rebroadcast, Marianne Williamson, the late Barbara Marx Hubbard, Steve Farrell, Barbara Fields, and Anna-Mari Pieterse discuss how to develop social synergy—social cooperation—at the political level, as well as at the larger evolutionary visionary level. On this panel discussion about governance, the questions Barbara Marx Hubbard opens with are: Where is humanity going? What’s our future as an evolutionary species? And where is there a model of governance that’s working? Barbara proposes that the Wheel of Co-Creation—the 12 Spheres of Oneness in Life—is such a model of social cooperation, self-governance, synergy, and cooperation. Marianne agrees and shares her experience of running as a political candidate.  “What I learned...is a lot of things,” Marianne says. “I’ve never had such a learning experience...There’s something I know now that’s missing.

“We are the new system of those who are evolving.” —Barbara Marx Hubbard, visionary, best-selling author, and mother of Conscious Evolution  “We live in a 3D world but yet we hold and are evolving toward a 5D Consciousness.” —Dr. William Spady, educational psychologist, sociologist, and father of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) In this podcast, The Heart and Soul of Education, you’ll hear Dr. Spady, the late Barbara Marx Hubbard, Barbara Fields, Anna-Mari Pieterse, and Steve Farrell discuss the need for a whole system shift when it comes to the subject of education.  The dilemma: Do we wait for the system that we have now to collapse or do we create the alternative that more and more people will gravitate toward?

And by the shift of awareness, everything else follows and makes sense.  “But if you try to go into the old system and try to change it here and there,” she says, “we really don’t have time to do that.” (Please note: this is a special rebroadcast and any websites, links, programs, or events mentioned may no longer be active.

“The Office of the Future is the Wheel of Co-Creation in action.” —the late Barbara Marx Hubbard, World-Renowned Visionary and Bestselling Author In this podcast, ‘The Planetary Shift from Fear to Love’ (a Global Oneness Summit rebroadcast), Barbara and Steve Farrell, along with guests social activist Juan Carlos Kaiten; executive director of Global New Thought, Dr. Barbara Fields; and publisher of World Wide Tipping Point, Todd Goldfarb discuss how the United Nations’ Office of the Future and the Wheel of Co-Creation support humanity’s Whole System Shift from a global society that seems to be destroying its own life-support system to a life-sustaining and nurturing society. In a Whole System Shift, there are a range of factors involved, including practical on the ground changes, socio-economic changes, global government, global business, and psychological changes, as well as changes in human awareness and consciousness.  Understanding a Whole System Shift also gives practical examples and applications of the operating principles of a healthy society. There are many things that we can do in our personal sphere of influence that contribute to this global evolution. The Wheel of Co-Creation is a powerful representation of this planetary shift from fear to love. In this discussion, Barbara, Steve, and their guests talk about many innovative contributions they and others are making to the Whole System Shift. I invite you to listen to our podcast, "The Planetary Shift from Fear to Love" to hear Barbara and friends talk about… The AmpliField The Wheel of Co-Creation The Synergy Movement The Office of the Future The Noosphere (thinking layer of Earth) A Global Goal Spiritual Illiteracy And so much more! “I love the invitation to let spirituality show up through us, and not just to us,” says Steve.  Will you accept the invitation?

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!Hello and welcome… to EPISODE 52, of WHO KILLED…?PURCHASE WHO KILLED THESE GIRLS? BY BEVERLY LOWRYThank you to Nic from the True Crime Garage Podcast. He is a library full of information about this case. Don’t forget if you’re going to CrimeCon 2020 in Orlando please use my PROMO Code AMY2020. I am your host Bill Huffman and on this week’s show, I will begin the arduous task of covering an infamous case out of Austin, Texas, the yogurt shop murders.This case has been covered by the likes of 48 Hours a number of times. Inside Edition and a plethora of podcasts.The reason I wanted to take a look at this case is I just finished Beverly Lowry’s book, Who Killed these girls? and it reinvigorated my interest in the case. I will do my best to do it justice and next week I may even have a special guest to discuss the case.Let’s get this week’s episode rolling, Who Killed the Yogurt Shop 4?December 6, 1991 started off like most days in Austin, Texas for Sarah and Jennifer Harbison. They got ready for school, packed their book bags and headed off for the day. It was an overcast day for the city, with temperatures maxing out around 72; a cool Texas Friday. Austin, Texas in 1991 was just coming into its own as a nationally known place where creativity can thrive.Not only is Austin, the capital of Texas, but it also holds the title of Live Music Capital of the World.In 1994, the city created the Austin Film Festival and filmmakers and actors such as Mike Judge, Richard Linklater, and Matthew McConaughey call Austin home.In 2002, Austin City Limits was founded and became one of the premier live events in the U-S drawing groups from all over the world to perform.Sarah would be working that’s night shift so her plans were already set. She would be working with Eliza Thomas, another classmate at Lanier high school. For Sarah and Eliza their shift was going to be just like any other Friday night they worked together at the I Can’t Believe it’s Not Yogurt shop. And the shift started exactly that way. This was 1992 and the frozen yogurt fad was still in full swing; with lines at most times. The chain the girls worked for had hundreds of stores in multiple states. Amy Ayers, a friend of the girls, and Jennifer Harbison, Sarah’s little sister came up to the shop to hang out. A normal routine for any teenager who has friends working by themselves. Their place of employment can become an ideal new hangout spot... We’ve all been there. As the shift progressed, patrons came and went. It was a Friday night so the store was busy and the girls would be closing late. Around 11:45 PM that same night a local police officer was on patrol when he took notice to smoke coming from the yogurt shop. As the call went out to the fire department the blaze quickly became a two-alarm fire, requiring assistance from other departments to extinguish the fire. In all, some fifty firefighters were needed to get the fire under control and prevent it from spreading to other stores.What started off like any other day ended in horror for the four girls at the shop, the families, friends, the first responders and the community of Austin.As the fire was being put out, nobody on the scene had any idea what they were about to find. As the firemen moved into the building to finish extinguishing the hot spots, and any other little fires only to find something… I am sure they wish they could all forget.In the back of the store, near the exit they found bodies piled on one another.As the medical examiners were called in the grief the first responders were going through was clear. It was also obvious something horrible had occurred as the firefighters emerged dazed and confused.One veteran police officer said he was stunned by the senseless killings of four teenage girls, all of whom were shot twice in the back of the head in a yogurt shop that was then set afire. "I've been on the force 10 years and lived in Austin 20 years and this is the worst I remember," said Sgt. Scott Cary. People had always believed the city to be safe, as cliche as that is, but now they were entirely gripped by fear.On December 8th, 1991 A RELEASE from the Associated Press detailing the carnage these firefighters faced and the trauma these girls were forced to endure.Police were at a loss but said robbery may have been a motive for the slayings and fire may have been used to cover the crime. As the scene became overcome with rescuers, investigators and the media police said they have no suspects in the case. As the fire was put out that, investigators were asking any customers who were in the I Can't Believe It's Yogurt store around closing time Friday to come forward and talk to them. The victims, all from Austin, were identified as Jennifer Harbison, 14; her sister, Sarah Harbison, 15; Eliza Thomas, 17; and Amy Ayres, 13. Officials said Jennifer Harbison and Eliza Thomas were store employees and that Amy Ayres was a friend. Autopsies were being conducted. "Based on preliminary investigative work, robbery is being considered as a possible motive for the killings," according to a statement from police. "In our try for a why we like to hang our hat on that they were being robbed, I don't know that for sure, that's a possible out there, but I don't know if we're dealing with someone who's high on drugs," homicide detective John Jones told KLBJ Radio."I certainly hope so, because it doesn't look like the act of a sane, rational individual,"he said. Cary said police had not ruled out the possibility that the assailant, or assailants knew one or more of the victims.  The owners of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Yogurt issued the following statement shortly after the incident. "We are shocked, saddened and outraged at this bizarre incident," said Patty Reupke, the company's director of marketing. "Our first thoughts are with the families. We don't know yet any additional details. We are in contact with the police awaiting further information." Sgt. John Jones, who is in charge of the investigation said, "This is four girls that are now dead. For what reason? Surely they did not have that much money in there. The price of life seems to be getting cheaper and cheaper these days," Jones said.  The Tarrant County medical examiner's office said three bodies were burned beyond recognition, but there was little doubt about the identities. Dental records would eventually be used to confirm the identifications. Austin police are sifting through available leads, hoping to come up with something that will produce an arrest. "Unfortunately, we haven't developed any real strong suspects. We are getting a lot of names, but nothing that appears like it's going to break the case," Lt. Andrew Waters said Sunday. "We are still going on the theory that robbery was the motive. We don't have any reason at this point to believe anything else," Waters said. Police were asking any customers who were in the store around closing time Friday to come forward.After reports of the fire, murder and robbery hit the wires, investigators in Las Cruces, New Mexico, had an uncanny feeling.The police went on to say they were looking into the slayings at the Austin yogurt shop for any possible link to a 1990 bowling alley robbery that left four dead in Las Cruces. Capt. Fred Rubio said a detective from the Las Cruces Police Department told Texas officials Monday about last year's slayings in New Mexico. Four girls, ranging in age from 13 to 17, were shot twice in the back of the head in Austin. The case has similarities to the Feb. 10, 1990, Las Cruces shootings, which remain unsolved. In the New Mexico slayings, two men robbed Las Cruces Bowl of $5,000 and shot all the witnesses in the back of the head. The robbers set a blaze to cover up the crime, but one of the victims was able to call for help. Killed in that shooting were Paula Holguin, 6; her sister Valerie Teran, 2; Amy Houser, 13; and Steve Teran, 26, Valerie's father and Paula's stepfather. Rubio said the Las Cruces Police Department has not gone over the cases in detail with Austin police. "We haven't gotten to the nuts and bolts of it yet. It was very unfortunate the way it was done. It's just like ours," said Rubio, chief investigator on the Las Cruces case. Texas investigators said robbery appears to have been the motive in the yogurt shop slayings. One difference in the cases the yogurt store victims' hands were tied behind their backs. The victims in the bowling alley shootings were not tied up.As the investigation went no where quickly fear began to grip a city that it once believed to be safe.With hindsight being 20-20, I can see how the media embraced the idea of selling panic and fear. In the local Austin paper, the Statesman, the killings of four teenagers have created a new fear of crime. "You wonder when you go out the door if you'll; come back," says Barbara Fields of Austin. "I just don't really feel safe." Statistically and comparatively speaking, Austin is a safe city. But when you have a killer or killers targeting young girls fear becomes the driving force behind decision making at the time.Tell me if you don’t hear panic written within the context of this next passage? “As senseless and random the yogurt shop slayings were, they have galvanized the community as few incidents or issues could,” cutting through our collective consciousness to a fragile sense of security barraged by a ceaseless stream of major crimes. A convenience store clerk is shot to death behind the counter. A cab driver stabbed to death behind the wheel. A woman is killed after leaving a dance hall. A man is stabbed to death as he arrives for work at a furniture store. A girl is sexually assaulted as she walks to elementary school. A college co-ed is beaten to death on the street. Police search for serial rapists in Hyde Park and Northwest Hills.Statistically, Austin looks like a safe place to live, to work, to go to school, raise a family. But dozens of unrelated, serious

For Sarah and Eliza their shift was going to be just like any other Friday night they worked together at the I Can’t Believe it’s Not Yogurt shop. And the shift started exactly that way. This was 1992 and the frozen yogurt fad was still in full swing; with lines at most times. The chain the girls worked for had hundreds of stores in multiple states. Amy Ayers, a friend of the girls, and Jennifer Harbison, Sarah’s little sister came up to the shop to hang out. A normal routine for any teenager who has friends working by themselves. Their place of employment can become an ideal new hangout spot... We’ve all been there. As the shift progressed, patrons came and went. It was a Friday night so the store was busy and the girls would be closing late. Around 11:45 PM that same night a local police officer was on patrol when he took notice to smoke coming from the yogurt shop. As the call went out to the fire department the blaze quickly became a two-alarm fire, requiring assistance from other departments to extinguish the fire. In all, some fifty firefighters were needed to get the fire under control and prevent it from spreading to other stores.What started off like any other day ended in horror for the four girls at the shop, the families, friends, the first responders and the community of Austin.As the fire was being put out, nobody on the scene had any idea what they were about to find. As the firemen moved into the building to finish extinguishing the hot spots, and any other little fires only to find something… I am sure they wish they could all forget.In the back of the store, near the exit they found bodies piled on one another.As the medical examiners were called in the grief the first responders were going through was clear. It was also obvious something horrible had occurred as the firefighters emerged dazed and confused.One veteran police officer said he was stunned by the senseless killings of four teenage girls, all of whom were shot twice in the back of the head in a yogurt shop that was then set afire. "I've been on the force 10 years and lived in Austin 20 years and this is the worst I remember," said Sgt. Scott Cary. People had always believed the city to be safe, as cliche as that is, but now they were entirely gripped by fear.On December 8th, 1991 A RELEASE from the Associated Press detailing the carnage these firefighters faced and the trauma these girls were forced to endure.Police were at a loss but said robbery may have been a motive for the slayings and fire may have been used to cover the crime. As the scene became overcome with rescuers, investigators and the media police said they have no suspects in the case. As the fire was put out that, investigators were asking any customers who were in the I Can't Believe It's Yogurt store around closing time Friday to come forward and talk to them. The victims, all from Austin, were identified as Jennifer Harbison, 14; her sister, Sarah Harbison, 15; Eliza Thomas, 17; and Amy Ayres, 13. Officials said Jennifer Harbison and Eliza Thomas were store employees and that Amy Ayres was a friend. Autopsies were being conducted. "Based on preliminary investigative work, robbery is being considered as a possible motive for the killings," according to a statement from police. "In our try for a why we like to hang our hat on that they were being robbed, I don't know that for sure, that's a possible out there, but I don't know if we're dealing with someone who's high on drugs," homicide detective John Jones told KLBJ Radio. "I certainly hope so, because it doesn't look like the act of a sane, rational individual,"he said. Cary said police had not ruled out the possibility that the assailant, or assailants knew one or more of the victims.  The owners of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Yogurt issued the following statement shortly after the incident. "We are shocked, saddened and outraged at this bizarre incident," said Patty Reupke, the company's director of marketing. "Our first thoughts are with the families. We don't know yet any additional details. We are in contact with the police awaiting further information." Sgt. John Jones, who is in charge of the investigation said, "This is four girls that are now dead. For what reason? Surely they did not have that much money in there. The price of life seems to be getting cheaper and cheaper these days," Jones said.  The Tarrant County medical examiner's office said three bodies were burned beyond recognition, but there was little doubt about the identities. Dental records would eventually be used to confirm the identifications. Austin police are sifting through available leads, hoping to come up with something that will produce an arrest. "Unfortunately, we haven't developed any real strong suspects. We are getting a lot of names, but nothing that appears like it's going to break the case," Lt. Andrew Waters said Sunday. "We are still going on the theory that robbery was the motive. We don't have any reason at this point to believe anything else," Waters said. Police were asking any customers who were in the store around closing time Friday to come forward.After reports of the fire, murder and robbery hit the wires, investigators in Las Cruces, New Mexico, had an uncanny feeling.The police went on to say they were looking into the slayings at the Austin yogurt shop for any possible link to a 1990 bowling alley robbery that left four dead in Las Cruces. Capt. Fred Rubio said a detective from the Las Cruces Police Department told Texas officials Monday about last year's slayings in New Mexico. Four girls, ranging in age from 13 to 17, were shot twice in the back of the head in Austin. The case has similarities to the Feb. 10, 1990, Las Cruces shootings, which remain unsolved. In the New Mexico slayings, two men robbed Las Cruces Bowl of $5,000 and shot all the witnesses in the back of the head. The robbers set a blaze to cover up the crime, but one of the victims was able to call for help. Killed in that shooting were Paula Holguin, 6; her sister Valerie Teran, 2; Amy Houser, 13; and Steve Teran, 26, Valerie's father and Paula's stepfather. Rubio said the Las Cruces Police Department has not gone over the cases in detail with Austin police. "We haven't gotten to the nuts and bolts of it yet. It was very unfortunate the way it was done. It's just like ours," said Rubio, chief investigator on the Las Cruces case. Texas investigators said robbery appears to have been the motive in the yogurt shop slayings. One difference in the cases the yogurt store victims' hands were tied behind their backs. The victims in the bowling alley shootings were not tied up.As the investigation went no where quickly fear began to grip a city that it once believed to be safe.With hindsight being 20-20, I can see how the media embraced the idea of selling panic and fear. In the local Austin paper, the Statesman, the killings of four teenagers have created a new fear of crime. "You wonder when you go out the door if you'll ; come back," says Barbara Fields of Austin. "I just don't really feel safe." Statistically and comparatively speaking, Austin is a safe city. But when you have a killer or killers targeting young girls fear becomes the driving force behind decision making at the time.Tell me if you don’t hear panic written within the context of this next passage? “As senseless and random the yogurt shop slayings were, they have galvanized the community as few incidents or issues could,” cutting through our collective consciousness to a fragile sense of security barraged by a ceaseless stream of major crimes. A convenience store clerk is shot to death behind the counter. A cab driver stabbed to death behind the wheel. A woman is killed after leaving a dance hall. A man is stabbed to death as he arrives for work at a furniture store. A girl is sexually assaulted as she walks to elementary school. A college co-ed is beaten to death on the street. Police search for serial rapists in Hyde Park and Northwest Hills.Statistically, Austin looks like a safe place to live, to work, to go to school, raise a family. But dozens of unrelated, serious crimes tend to build a sense of fear and foreboding. The killings December 6th at I Can't believe It's Yogurt!  West Anderson Lane brought those fears into the open. Children, parents, employers, teachers became disillusione

Among our topics:• The way Donald Trump’s success represents both the problems of elite power and elite weaknessWho even counts as an elite, anyway?How people decide what to trustThe difficulties of trying to approach politics with decency and charity in the age of TrumpWhy the key to “law and order politics” isn’t law, but orderThe underestimated power of humiliation in daily American life, and during America’s foundingHow Chris would cover Trump if he were a White House correspondentThe ways in which the media actually can be unfair to TrumpWhy the fight between Trump and the press is more a staged WWE-match than an actual warThe power of seeing politics as a zero-sum competition, even when it isn’t oneAnd much more. This conversation is dense and it’s fast and it’s interesting and it’s fun.
