Radical Publishing Futures returns with a conversation between Meg Arenberg and director of Feminist Press Margot Atwell. Margot offers some perspective on the pioneering role of the Feminist press and its interdisciplinary journal WSQ, not only for radical independent publishing in the US but for women and gender studies as an academic field, as well as its ongoing relationship with the Graduate Center at the City University of New York. Meg and Margot also discuss the affinities between roller derby and feminist publishing, the special joys of working collaboratively with a small staff where everyone is involved in the acquisitions and editing processes, accessibility tools, and the work of building community with readers and indie bookstores alike.Margot Atwell is a writer, editor, publisher, and community funding expert and before taking on the executive director role at Feminist Press just over a year ago, she directed publishing at Kickstarter and also worked previously at the independent publisher Beaufort Books, and founded and ran the micropress Gutpunch. Margot is the coauthor of The Insider's Guide to Book Publishing Success (from Beaufort Books) and Derby Life: A Crash Course in the Incredible Sport of Roller Derby (from Gutpunch Press). Meg Arenberg is the managing editor for the Radical Books Collective.

You may have heard about the first Gulf War - basically the entire world vs. Saddam Hussein. But though 34 countries - 34! - entered the alliance against Iraq, Israel didn't. So why on earth did missiles begin to rain down on Israel? In this episode, Noam breaks down how the 1991 Gulf War affected ordinary Israelis, tested the US-Israel relationship, and even challenged the long-held Zionist ethos.     ~~~~     This season of Unpacking Israeli History is generously sponsored by Marci & Andrew Spitzer and Barbara Sommer & Alan Fisher, and this episode is generously sponsored by the Center For Advancement of Jewish Education, and The Jewish Federation of Northern NJ.     ~~~~   Bibliography: Alston, Adam Eley and Katie. “The Ex-CIA Agent Who Interrogated Saddam Hussein.” BBC News, BBC, 4 Jan. 2017, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38497767.  “Saddam Hussein -- Iraq's 'President for Life'.” The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor, 26 Aug. 1981, https://www.csmonitor.com/1981/0826/082659.html.  “Before The Revolution | Trailer.” YouTube, uploaded by Journeyman Pictures, 9 March 2016, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMrmK2VGmmg&ab_channel=JourneymanPictures. “Persian Gulf.” Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., https://www.britannica.com/place/Persian-Gulf.  “Saddam Hussein.” Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., https://www.britannica.com/biography/Saddam-Hussein.  Riedel, Bruce. “Lessons from America's First War with Iran.” Brookings, Brookings, 28 July 2016, https://www.brookings.edu/articles/lessons-from-americas-first-war-with-iran/.  “Iran-Iraq War.” Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., https://www.britannica.com/event/Iran-Iraq-War Ottaway, David B. “Gulf Arabs Place Reins on Iraq While Filling Its War Chest.” The Washington Post, WP Company, 21 Dec. 1981, https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1981/12/21/gulf-arabs-place-reins-on-iraq-while-filling-its-war-chest/f99361f1-f9b8-47d2-9c97-f7058c3dc83d/.  U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of State, https://history.state.gov/milestones/1989-1992/gulf-war.  “The Use of Terror during Iraq's Invasion of Kuwait.” The War on Terror: Target Iraq | The Use of Terror during Iraq's Invasion of Kuwait, https://web.archive.org/web/20050124091425/http://www.jafi.org.il/education/actual/iraq/3.html.  Research, CNN Editorial. “Gulf War Fast Facts.” CNN, CNN, 29 July 2020, https://web.archive.org/web/20201112020744/https://edition.cnn.com/2013/09/15/world/meast/gulf-war-fast-facts/index.html.  Encyclopædia Britannica, https://www.britannica.com/video/188970/Pres-George-HW-Congress-Bush-Iraq-Kuwait-1990.

Some of you may know me as Ron Goldman’s sister. I am. And very proud of that fact.But I am also an advocate … a writer … a mother … a friend… a daughter … a hockey, basketball and football fan …a radio show host … a shoe enthusiast … and sometimes a philanthropist. I live a very full life, despite the painful road I traveled to get here.Before my brother was brutally killed in 1994, I was studying to be a child psychologist. After his death and subsequent trials, I left that goal behind and just did what I could to make it through each day and to slowly begin to rebuild my shattered life.I worked in television for a while but then found my happy place working in the non-profit sector; where I have stayed for more than a decade. I have a passion and commitment for assisting the under-served, which has provided me with so many different opportunities. I was the Marketing Manager for Pallotta TeamWorks, which produced multi-day fundraising events such as the AVON 3Day Walks and the AIDS Rides. I was the Communications Manager for Cure Autism Now, (currently Autism Speaks) which focussed on autism research and launched the first Walk Now event in Los Angeles. I also served as the State Director for Best Buddies California, which is a non-profit organization founded by Anthony K. Shriver, dedicated to forming friendships between developmentally disabled people and non-disabled peers.Currently, I am the Executive Director of the Santa Clarita Valley Youth Project; a non-profit organization that provides free mental health, crisis intervention, support groups and education and outreach to teenagers in the Santa Clarita Valley dealing with depression, suicide, domestic violence, substance abuse, neglect, sexual assault, bullying, etc. Finally, after all of these years, I found my way back to those long-ago dreams of counseling and therapy.In my spare time, I am a victims’ advocate and have had the privilege of being a speaker at some amazing conferences; a few highlights include (1995 – 2016): Keynote Speaker for numerous National Victims Rights Week events, Parents of Murdered Children Victims Conferences, Trainer/Speaker for The Department of Justice workshops, The FBI National Academy Annual Conference, Speaker at Governor Wilson’s Conference for Women, and a guest speaker/panelist at a number of universities, media and law enforcement events across the country.Oh, and I am an accomplished writer too! I was a contributing author to the NY Times Bestseller; His Name is Ron, Our Search for Justice (1998, William Morrow & Co.) In 2007, I authored two chapters for the NY Times Bestseller; If I Did It, Confessions of the Killer. (2007, Beaufort Books). I contributed to The Ricki Lake Show, have a little corner of Huffington Post I can call my own, I’ve written articles for various newsletters and magazines, including Glamour Magazine, in 2007. I finished my memoir, Can’t Forgive in 2014 and my latest book, Media Circus, a Look at Private Tragedy in the Private Eye was released in September 2015. Both books published by BenBella Books.I am the founding Co-Chair of The Ron Goldman Foundation for Justice as well as a member of the California District Attorney’s Association, Victims Rights Committee and served on the Advisory Committee for Crime Survivors, Inc. I participated in a project called Vision 21, which is in place to revamp the victims movement, funded by the National Center for Victims of Crime (NCVC). And am now a Board Member for NCVC and an Advisory Board member for Habitat for Heroes. And most recently, I helped launch the National Compassion Fund, which helps families in mass tragedies receive donations from supporters all across the globe.In the last handful of years, I have been a guest on various media outlets, including FOX News Channel, MSNBC, CourtTV, CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS and on programs such as Oprah, 20/20, The Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS Early Show, Dateline, Primetime Live, Dr. Phil and Larry King. I have been interviewed in multiple national magazines and newspapers such as Time, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, People, Newsweek, The Washington Post, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, and The Boston Herald.I work hard in my community, and was recognized by the Soroptimist International of Santa Clarita Valley with the Making a Difference for Women award in 2008, was honored as one of 40 under 40 Leaders by the Santa Clarita Valley Business Journal, was recognized as a Non-Profit Leader in 2014 and one of the 50 Most Influential People in 2015.And if that wasn’t enough, I launched a radio show, Broadscast with my dear friend Jackie MacDougall …which is a ton of fun!But my most important job is being a kick ass mom to a really cool kid!I hope you come back again, because I am really going to try and keep this site updated! But if I am not here, you can find me on the “social stuff”! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Our education system is changing in ways we might never have predicted.  Most parents value education as one of their top priorities, and for good reason!  We want our kids to succeed in school so they can grow to be intelligent adults with good jobs.  BUT, what if they are struggling in school?  Do you know you can choose a new education path for them?  We all want our kids to get a good education and be successful in school BUT not every school fits your child’s unique needs and abilities.  Is your child gifted?  Does your child have learning disabilities?  Is the school your child in just, not a good fit? Do you know you have a choice and the right to choose a school that fits your child? Are you aware of the many options that are available?  This may seem like an exciting concept but also daunting because where do you start? In this episode, Andrew Campanella, the President of National School Choice Week in The United States, talks about how and when parents can look for alternatives for their kids based on their needs and where to start. Why should you care?  The fact is that if kids are unhappy in school, even if the school is considered a good school, it can lead to higher rates of dropouts and for students that drop out, this affects their confidence and self-esteem.  Studies show that students who dropout are at higher risk of incarceration, will earn less over their lifetime and have shorter lifespans. This episode is of great value to every parent with school-aged children, no matter where you live!   About Andrew Campanella  Andrew Campanella is the president of National School Choice Week, the largest public awareness effort in the U.S. focusing on the opportunity in K-12 education.

Marvin Scott’s new book, As I Saw It: A Reporter’s Intrepid Journey (Beaufort Books, 2017) tells 26 stories of memorable people and events that the veteran TV journalist gathered during a career spanning more than 50 years. Scott estimates that he’s told more than 15,000 stories and interviewed 30,000 people for print, radio and television. He describes himself as a journalist who has “tried to stick to old-fashioned reporting, just the facts, without adding my personal views.” He also writes that “at the heart of every story, big and small, is a person. It is people who make the news.” The winner of 11 Emmy Awards, Scott is currently the senior correspondent at New York’s WPIX-TV. He has written for the New York Herald Tribune as well as Parade Magazine and has worked as a radio reporter for the Mutual Broadcasting System and at such television outfits as CNN, WNEW, and WABC. In this New Books Network interview, Marvin Scott recounts some of the stories he covered including one he did on Charlie Walsh, the bank thief who became a New York celebrity. He also describes how he managed to interview Abraham Zapruder and how many years later, he synced Zapruder’s recorded words to the 26-second amateur film he had shot of the Kennedy assassination in Dallas. Scott champions traditional, shoe-leather reporting and laments the influence of social media outlets that publish first and check the facts later.

Scott estimates that he’s told more than 15,000 stories and interviewed 30,000 people for print, radio and television. He describes himself as a journalist who has “tried to stick to old-fashioned reporting, just the facts, without adding my personal views.” He also writes that “at the heart of every story, big and small, is a person. It is people who make the news.” The winner of 11 Emmy Awards, Scott is currently the senior correspondent at New York’s WPIX-TV. He has written for the New York Herald Tribune as well as Parade Magazine and has worked as a radio reporter for the Mutual Broadcasting System and at such television outfits as CNN, WNEW, and WABC. In this New Books Network interview, Marvin Scott recounts some of the stories he covered including one he did on Charlie Walsh, the bank thief who became a New York celebrity. He also describes how he managed to interview Abraham Zapruder and how many years later, he synced Zapruder’s recorded words to the 26-second amateur film he had shot of the Kennedy assassination in Dallas. Scott champions traditional, shoe-leather reporting and laments the influence of social media outlets that publish first and check the facts later.

In her new book, Playboy Laughs: The Comedy, Comedians, and Cartoons of Playboy (Beaufort Books, 2017), Patty Farmer examines the relationship between Hugh Hefner’s Playboy empire and some of the most influential comedians and cartoonists of the past 50 years. Farmer explores the ways in which the Playboy Clubs and Resorts of the 1960s and 1970s established spaces for comedians to hone their acts, get paid, and started the careers for many comedians and musicians. She looks at the savvy business decisions of Hefner that led to clubs which have influenced popular culture and society in a variety of ways. Farmer describes how establishing these clubs challenged racial barriers as desegregated comedy clubs in the 1960s as well as gender barriers, giving a performance space to many rising female comedians such as Phyllis Diller and Joan Rivers. Farmer also looks at the role Playboy magazine played in launching the careers of many cartoonists such as Shel Silverstein and Al Jaffe and the meticulous attention to detail that Hefner paid to all cartoons and artists used throughout the magazine. Using interviews and oral histories, Farmer presents inside experiences from comedians and cartoonists who owe much of their career to Playboy magazine and Playboy Clubs. Rebekah Buchanan is an Assistant Professor of English at Western Illinois University. Her work examines the role of narrative–both analog and digital–in people’s lives. She is interested in how personal narratives produced in alternative spaces create sites that challenge traditionally accepted public narratives. She researches zines, zine writers and the influence of music subcultures and fandom on writers and narratives.

What do Aretha Franklin, Rodney Dangerfield, and desegregation in New Orleans have in common? Perhaps, surprisingly, the answer is Playboy. Playboy magazine served as a guidebook for young people in the post-war era and taught this upwardly mobile generation how to live a modern, sophisticated, and cool lifestyle. It also supported the Civil Rights movement and the careers of many musicians and comedians. In her new book, Playboy Swings: How Hugh Hefner and Playboy Changed the Face of Music (Beaufort Books, 2015),Patty Farmer explores how Playboy Enterprises, through its magazine, clubs, festivals, and record label, promoted and continues to promote jazz. The podcast discusses how Playboy gave many musicians, including Aretha Franklin and Al Jarreau, some of their earliest stage experience. Farmer also talks about how Heffner’s passion for jazz and racial justice caused him to be a strong advocate for integrating the stage at the Playboy Jazz Festival and in his many clubs. Farmer also shares quite a few good stories. Patty Farmer is acknowledged as the leading expert on all things pertaining to music, entertainment–and the entertainers–of Playboy. She’s also a businesswoman and former model, and has followed the entertainment industry as an insider, as well as an avid fan and archivist all her life. Her first book, The Persian Room Presents, transported readers back to the halcyon days of New York City nightlife. More information about Patty Farmer can be found on her websiteand blog.

Workshop Wednesdays with Tony Gambone with his guest Karyn L. Beach & January Jones   Karyn Beach has been a game show winner, a produced screenwriter, international traveler and now self-published author and radio talk show host. After losing my mom at the age of 15, I learned that tomorrow isn't guaranteed and if I wanted to live, I couldn't wait until I graduated, or until I found the perfect job or the perfect man (still looking for both of those), or until I reached retirement age. If I wanted to live, I had to do it now ... right now. So I have taken advantage of the opportunities that have presented themselves to me and when there were no opportunities, I've made them. As a result, I've lived a life with very few regrets. I started Get It Together Girl! to help women of all ages realize that you can live life on your terms and you can attain your definition of happiness and success; you just have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and take a chance. http://www.getittogethergirlmedia.com/about.htm “January Jones sharing Success Stories” is on www.Talk4Media.com @ www.iHeartRadio.com archived 24/7. Also, Ms. Jones is a Featured Host on BlogTalkRadio.com/januaryjones archived 24/7 for your listening pleasure. Ms. Jones is the self-proclaimed “Whine Tester” She is a reformed whiner who lives every day in the “No Whine Zone”. Her book published by Beaufort Books is entitled Thou Shalt Not Whine…..The Eleventh Commandment and reached a #1 ranking at amazon.com. Ms. Jones specializes in homemaker humor in the tradition of Erma Bombeck. She is also the author of Jackie Ari and Jack: The Tragic Love Triangle and two other Kennedy books. http://www.januaryjones.com/

Krav Maga, the official self-defense and fighting system of the Israeli Defense Forces is the foundation for Commando Krav Maga.  Smartsafe, aka: Women's Commando Krav Maga, is the program I have chosen to teach, receiving my first certification in NYC March 2010.   It is my dream to change the violent statistics against women. I move closer to this each time I teach and speak. I love to speak to women's groups on Awareness, Prevention, Empowerment, and Women's Self Defense. Together, we will make a positive difference in the lives of women every where; one woman at a time. http://www.reginarowley.com

THIS WEEK - Eric Kampmann on The Jewel of Medina This week we have a web-exclusive interview with Eric Kampmann of Beaufort Books - the company that showed the heart we all wish Random House had. For background, listen to our discussion on how Random House caved into the fear of Islamic reprisal, canceling publication of The Jewel of Medina by Sherry Jones in Podcast #26: Muslims, Publishers, and Free Speech. We were all hoping someone would come to the rescue and Beaufort, led by Kampmann, did just that. Ex asks what Eric thought upon hearing of the Random House disgrace. What we get is some real inside-baseball on the corporate politics that may have been behind their decision, as Eric has been in the business many years and knows some of principals involved. He goes on to explain how Beaufort made the decision to get involved. We talk a little bit about what the book is about and why the book may be a "seller", even though Sherry Jones is a first-time author.
