This week, we're kicking off a brand new series that we'll be running throughout the year. Every so often I hope to share a new conversation with aldermen and alderwomen from various wards in Batavia. We'll go beyond typical policy discussions and get them talking about the human element of city governance – and how they personally interact with the challenges and opportunities that tend to come up. One other note: This week we launch The 630, an online and in-person community for supporters of Area Code: Batavia. Members receive monthly bonus content, access to an exclusive online community, free admission to monthly meet-ups, and an Area Code: Batavia sticker. Join now and you'll also receive an exclusive Area Code pin! This week, members will have access to two new bonus offerings: Behind The Mic: Why We Launched the 630Batavia Favs: Richard and Jennifer ClarkToday on the show, I talk to city council members Kevin Malone and Alice Lohman, representatives of Batavia's Ward 3. Kevin and Alice represent a Ward with a ton of variety. On one end there's the Holmstaad, a retirement community, and on the other there's Emagine theater. And their constituents are made up of a diverse array of people with all kinds of feelings about Batavia and their place in it. So how does someone balance the expectations and tensions that go into running a town like Batavia? And how do their decisions and efforts affect feelings of belonging in their community? And how do they feel about all of that? Well, that's what I wanted to know.

REDIFF - Le Batavia est l'un des navires les plus imposants du XVIIe siècle. Pourtant, lors de son voyage inaugural, il se brise sur un récif perdu au cœur de l'Océan Indien.

On the day this episode is released, Batavia kicks off Boo Boo Days. For me, Boo Boo Days is a new concept, a sort of quaint and slightly bizarre throwback that just started a few years ago. But the reality is, Boo Boo Days originated decades ago and played a crucial role in the origin of the Windmill Festival. But what really interests me is the whole concept of this oddly named celebration. Where did this idea come from, and why organize an entire celebration around mistakes? To explore those questions, I brought back a previous guest, Kate Garrett, director of the Batavia Depot Museum to help us understand what made the downtown we all take for granted what it is, and how grass roots campaigns like Boo Boo Days have shaped Batavia's culture and landscape.

Devan loves the early-stage journey, particularly uncovering the magical intersection between what the market wants and how to sell it. There are many open questions, different stakeholders, and shifting variables – it's like a game of chess where the right moves lead to rising revenues and happy customers. Devan has worn many hats in his startup life, from business development to product management to sales. For the last ten years, he has built and led go-to-market teams for three organizations: Jive, which went public in 2011; Origami Logic, which Intuit acquired; and TripActions, still a public company valued at over $5B at last check. Building startups has fed Devan's ambitions for years, and he joined the Enjoy The Work team to impact not just one startup, but a portfolio of them worldwide.

Snack food maker Mondelez International is suing the Aldi supermarket chain, alleging the packaging for Aldi's store-brand cookies and crackers "blatantly copies" Mondelez products like Chips Ahoy, Wheat Thins and Oreos. In a federal lawsuit filed in Illinois, Chicago-based Mondelez said Aldi's packaging was "likely to deceive and confuse customers" and threatened to irreparably harm Mondelez and its brands. The company is seeking monetary damages and a court order that would stop Aldi from selling products that infringe on its trademarks. Aldi didn't respond to messages seeking comment. The U.S. branch of Aldi, which is based in Batavia, Illinois, was named in the lawsuit. In the lawsuit, Mondelez displayed side-by-side photos of multiple products. Aldi's Thin Wheat crackers, for example, come in a gold box very similar to Mondelez's Wheat Thins. Aldi's chocolate sandwich cookies and Oreos both have blue packaging. The supermarket's Golden Round crackers and Mondelez's Ritz crackers are packaged in red boxes. Aldi, which was founded in Germany, keeps prices low by primarily selling products under its own labels. It's one of the fastest-growing grocery chains in the U.S., with more than 2,500 stores in 39 states. The company announced that its current chief operating officer, Atty McGrath, would become Aldi's U.S. CEO on September 1. The chain has faced lawsuits over its packaging before. Last year, an Australian court found that Aldi infringed on the copyright of Baby Bellies snack puffs for young children. In that case, Aldi's packaging featured a cartoon owl and similar colors to the name-brand packaging. Earlier this year, a U.K. appeals court ruled in favor of Thatchers, a cider company, which sued Aldi over design similarities in the packaging of its lemon cider. Mondelez said in its lawsuit that the company had contacted Aldi on numerous occasions about "confusingly similar packaging." Mondelez said Aldi discontinued or changed the packaging on some items but continued to sell others. The lawsuit also alleges that Aldi infringed on Mondelez's trade dress rights for the packaging of Nutter Butter and Nilla Wafers cookies, and its Premium cracker brand.

It's not easy to live in Batavia while remaining unaware of its historical roots. Around here, it's talked about a lot. But what does this history really mean for a town in the here and now? According to Depot Museum Director Kate Garrett, Batavia's appreciation for its own history provides opportunity for what she calls "pro-social behaviors." And it turns out, those kinds of behaviors ultimately add up to a better community for all.

De Nederlandse cultureel psycholoog Jaco Koehler publiceerde onlangs in de 'International Journal of Maritime History' wat er volgens hem ten grondslag lag aan de moordpartijen waardoor een groot deel van de opvarenden van de Batavia aan hun einde kwam. Hij denkt dat de moordpartijen het gevolg waren van extreme honger en dorst. Tot nu toe werd er door onderzoekers uitgegaan van muiterij. Wij bespreken de nieuwe theorie met maritiem archeoloog professor Wendy van Duivenvoorde van Flinders University.

This week on Tales of History and Imagination we return to Australia for a real life soap opera that was considerably more bloody than Neighbours or Home and Away. First we need to take a cruise on a Dutch VOC flagship called The Batavia, the year 1629. In part one of a four parter, we discuss the voyage; how and why folk took such risks to travel to the end of the earth like this - and the voyage itself, right up until the ship wrecked on Houtman's Abrolhos. Note: Apologies all, as you can hear my voice is still a little scratchy on this one… I've had a bit of a nasty cold, and figured better to get this out now, than keep you waiting a month and a half to start this. Part two should be less so… Trigger warnings: Murder, colonialism, attempted genocide and sexual assault.

We hear from citizen activist, Diana Kastenbaum, who organized a town meeting in her congressional district in Western New York State filled with both Democrats and Republicans airing their concerns. How did the district's representative respond? We'll hear the whole story. Then, Ralph welcomes back Washington Post tech reporter, Geoffrey Fowler, to discuss his latest report about how Meta promised parents it would automatically shield teens from harmful content. Find out what happened when Mr. Fowler and a group of Gen Z users put that promise to the test. Plus, we hear from RootsAction.org director Norman Solomon about the petition his group and Progressive Democrats of America sent to the DNC for an emergency meeting challenging how the party elites are responding to the authoritarian creep of the Trump Administration. Finally, Ralph calls for listeners to flood the White House switchboard to exhort the Administration to end the indiscriminate slaughter in Gaza.Diana Kastenbaum lives in Batavia, New York, where she has been an owner in her family business, Pinnacle Manufacturing Company, Inc. for over 45 years. In 2014, she became the CEO of the company making her one of only a handful of women CEOs in the manufacturing field of tool and die casting in all of North America. In addition, she owned her own tech consulting company for 25 years. She has devoted herself to numerous national political endeavors and in 2016 ran for Congress in NY-27.It wasn't until January 20th when those executive orders started to come out, I started to get really, really nervous. And it woke me up from my hibernation here in Western New York. So I actually had many sleepless nights, and I reached out to some friends. They weren't sleeping too. They were worried. And so we decided to do something about it.Diana Kastenbaum on her summoning her congressperson for a town meetingIt (the town meeting) was just for people to ask their questions and tell their stories. And I think that's sort of where we are now in town halls is trying to get our friends and our neighbors and our local communities to hear what will happen, what is happening to the people in their communities. There were Republicans there, and they didn't yell or shout or anything like that. There was no disruption, but everybody stayed until the last moment, and everybody listened to these people share their stories.Diana KastenbaumGeoffrey Fowler is The Washington Post's technology columnist. Before joining the Post he spent sixteen years with the Wall Street Journal writing about consumer technology, Silicon Valley, national affairs and China.I performed an experiment on Instagram where I set up one of those accounts for a teenager that Instagram had promised us would be given special protections. And frankly, it took as little as ten minutes for me to swipe through and see what kinds of stuff Instagram was going to show this kid. And, oh boy, it really went off the rails quickly.Geoffrey FowlerIt's like there's a dark commercial villain inside this company (Meta) that does whatever makes the most money for them.Geoffrey FowlerNorman Solomon is co-founder of RootsAction.org and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy. He is the author of War Made Easy, Made Love, Got War, and his newest book, War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine.So we're hearing some mea culpas now about, "Oh, we should have told Biden not to run for re-election." But in point of fact, the same mentality, the same risk culture is still in place. And that's where I think the only change is going to come from the bottom up. It's going to come from us folks at the grassroots.Norman SolomonThe Israelis bombed a home where they killed nine children out of ten children of parents who were both physicians with one American-made missile. That's just one of the tragedies that occurs every day, weaponized by the U.S. government – now Donald Trump – and funded by the U.S. taxpayers who are never asked their opinion on such foreign relation policies.Ralph NaderWhite House Switchboard : 202-456-1414"Fast for Gaza" organized by Veterans for Peace Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Episode 291 features Will Bardenwerper, author of Homestand: Small Town Baseball and the Fight for the Soul of America and Nate Corbitt, founder of Nate's Smokehouse BBQ Blends Will Bardenwerper has contributed to The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Harper's Magazine. He served as an Airborne Ranger-qualified infantry officer in Iraq and was awarded a Combat Infantryman Badge and Bronze Star. Homestand: Small Town Baseball and the Fight for the Soul of America reflects the time Will spent in Batavia, New York, as he got to know the community and experience their love of baseball. Since 1897, the Batavia Muckdogs ruled the summer nights of this small town and in 2020 when Major League Baseball shut them down as they did with the minor league teams in 41 other towns, this town did something about it. They brought in a summer league team composed of college players. All this and more fills the pages as we get to know the people and the game of baseball in Batavia. Nate Corbitt is the founder of Nate's Smokehouse BBQ Blends; maker of premium seasonings designed with all natural ingredients. In 2020, Nate started experimenting with various spice combinations to go along with his passion for smoking meats and his love for bold and unique flavors. He then shared the spice blends with friends and family who encouraged Nate to do something more with these blends and that is exactly what Nate did as he started, Nate's Smokehouse BBQ Blends. In addition to his love of barbecue, Nate is also a baseball lover, especially for his beloved, Chicago Cubs.
