Podcasts about Bill Robinson

Bill Robinson recounts the harrowing story of being shot down over North Vietnam in 1965 during a rescue mission gone sideways. What followed was nearly eight years as a prisoner of war — making him the longest-held enlisted POW in American history. From in-flight helicopter refueling with 55-gallon drums to the chaos of capture, jungle survival, torture, and eventual release, Robinson shares vivid memories and razor-sharp insights. His humor, humility, and perspective on service, sacrifice, and resilience offer a powerful reminder of the cost of war and the strength of the human spirit. You'll hear tales of duct-taped helicopters, donkey competitions, and homemade POW education programs — all delivered with unforgettable wit. This is not just a history lesson — it's living testimony from a true American hero.

Send us a textWhen Ted Anthony put pen to paper as a 10-year-old defending Pirates broadcaster Milo Hamilton in the Post-Gazette, little did he know it would launch a lifetime journey through words, baseball, and the stories that connect us all. In this captivating conversation, the Pulitzer Prize-nominated Associated Press journalist traces an extraordinary path from listening to Game 7 of the 1979 World Series on shortwave radio in China to reporting from conflict zones in Afghanistan. Ted shares the deeply human moments that defined his career – photographing an Afghan waiter who had never seen his own image, hearing Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown's voice mysteriously appearing on his phone in North Korea, and witnessing the electric atmosphere of the 2013 Wild Card "blackout" game at PNC Park.Baseball emerges as the constant thread throughout Ted's life, connecting generations and preserving memory. He recounts bringing his elderly mother, a devoted Bill Robinson fan, back to PNC Park after decades away; his grandfather's correspondence with Mark Twain about cigar bands; and his grandmother's devotion to keeping baseball scorecards for his grandfather. Each story reveals how personal experiences weave into the larger tapestry of community and shared history.The conversation takes fascinating detours through Ted's book "Chasing the Rising Sun," which traces an iconic American song's journey across continents, and the surprising connections between his son and former Pirate Travis Snider. Throughout it all, Ted's brilliant storytelling reminds us that whether we're listening to a game on the radio, scanning box scores, or passing down Pirates memories, these shared experiences form the beating heart of what makes a place like Pittsburgh special.Take a journey with Ted Anthony and discover how baseball, journalism, and the power of story can transport us through time and across the world while keeping us firmly rooted in what matters most.THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!!!www.holdmycutter.com

Almost everyone on earth has Epstein-Barr virus. Usually it's pretty mild - you get sick, you get better. But the virus lives on in your body forever. Today, we talk with Dorothy Crawford (author of "Cancer Virus") about how one obsessive researcher uncovered a link between Epstein-Barr and cancer, and changed the way we think about viruses. Later in the show, we talk with Bill Robinson about his groundbreaking discovery of how Epstein-Barr can cause multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the second of our DisComfort Films episodes for Halloween month, we're joined by special guest and real life pal Cathleen Mortensen Bittner to discuss the one and only Stephen King adaptation directed by the man himself, Maximum Overdrive!  Though this gory, darkly humorous film has never received its due from critics, all three of us consider it a masterpiece of cartoonish, near-slapstick horror.  We discuss King's director influences from Hitchcock to Romero, the hard-hitting AC/DC-dominated soundtrack, the Cold War as a backdrop to this and many other 80s films, Brat Pack star Emilio Estevez's ex-con hero Bill Robinson, the questionably criminal background of Bubba Hendershot (Pat Hingle), the role of anxiety in horror, and the movie's many excellent practical effects, including the very angry soda machine.  Keep a close eye on your appliances and join us to explore the question, “Who made who?”
