In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde examines the career, analytical philosophy, and remarkable adaptability of Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra, who rose from the organization's video room to become the NBA's longest-tenured active head coach, a two-time NBA champion, six-time NBA Finals coach, and the newly appointed head coach of the USA Men's National Team for the 2027 FIBA World Cup and 2028 Olympic Games. How has Spoelstra continually redesigned his systems around dramatically different rosters, from the LeBron James era to Miami's more recent underdog playoff runs? What role do film study, statistical evidence, matchup data, experimentation, and unconventional defensive schemes play in his decision-making? The episode explores how Spoelstra has used switching, zone defenses, blitzes, drop coverages, and constant tactical variation to keep opponents solving new problems, while building an organizational culture capable of sustaining competitiveness across nearly two decades. What can leaders beyond basketball learn from a coach whose greatest competitive advantage may be his willingness to keep adapting?

Marlon and Jake take on violence in fiction: what makes it effective, what makes it gratuitous, and whether “gratuitous violence” is even a useful distinction. Tune in as they discuss the difference between violence on the page and on screen and why extended cruelty can be harder to stomach than violence itself.

Michael Aldrich joins John Ross to discuss Old Lhasa: A Biography, his richly detailed portrait of Tibet's historic capital. It's the third book in his trilogy on Asian cultural centers. He wrote the first two, on Beijing and Ulaanbaatar, while living in those cities, where he worked as a lawyer. There was no opportunity for this with Lhasa, so he had to rely on multiple trips (from his home in Taiwan) and an incredible amount of reading and research. Rather than writing a conventional history, Aldrich set out to present Lhasa as a living character – a city whose temples, alleyways, legends and surviving traditions can still tell their own stories. Books mentioned M.A. Aldrich The Search for a Vanishing Beijing: A Guide to China's Capital Through the Ages (Hong Kong University Press, 2006) Ulaanbaatar beyond Water and Grass: A Guide to the Capital of Mongolia (Hong Kong University Press, 2018) Old Lhasa: A Biography Originally published by Camphor Press in January 2023 and subsequently reissued in 2025 by Speaking Tiger Books with a new epilogue based on Aldrich's 2024 return to Tibet. The episode touches on the amazing story of Ekai Kawaguchi (河口慧海 1866–1945), a Japanese Buddhist monk who spent time in Lhasa in the early 1900s. He is the subject of Scott Berry's A Stranger in Tibet. The Books on Asia Podcast is co-produced with Plum Rain Press.

How well can we ever really know our parents?For Nancy Head Thode, that question became the beginning of an extraordinary journey into the life of her mother, Ann Head, a once widely read mid-century writer whose fiction explored women, marriage, pregnancy, class and independence at a time when many of those subjects were still spoken about carefully, if at all.Ann Head was more than a novelist. She was part of the literary life of Beaufort, South Carolina, and an influential teacher and mentor whose students included a young Pat Conroy, years before he would become the celebrated author of The Great Santini and The Prince of Tides.But to Nancy, she was Mom.In this encore presentation of HarmonyTALK, host Lisa Champeau talks with Nancy about the woman behind the books and Nancy's own journey to understand her. That journey eventually led to Ahead of Her Time: The Trailblazing Life and Literary Legacy of Ann Head, Nancy's biography of her mother.Drawing from journals, family memories, archival material and correspondence, Nancy began piecing together a fuller portrait of a woman who was ambitious, unconventional, creative and complicated.The project also forced Nancy to look again at her own childhood and at the difference between what children see and what adults later come to understand.Nancy brings an unusual perspective to that process. A longtime family psychotherapist and early advocate for family mediation, she has spent much of her professional life helping people understand relationships, conflict and the stories families carry.Now she has turned that careful attention toward her own family.It is a conversation about mothers and daughters, memory, writing, the lives women were expected to lead and what can happen when a daughter decides her mother's story deserves to be told again.

Marlon and Jake explore the power of setting in novels—and why the best stories feel like they couldn't have happened anywhere else. They discuss settings that become characters in their own right, fictional worlds they'd love (or absolutely hate) to inhabit, and books that made unexpected places fascinating.

Justin Bieber Biography Flash a weekly Biography. In the past few days, Justin Bieber has been mostly in low key public view, with the strongest verified reporting centering on a dinner outing with Hailey Bieber in Los Angeles that several outlets described as calm and ordinary rather than flashy. People reported the pair stepped out for a low key sushi date, while other entertainment outlets and social posts repeated that sighting and framed Bieber as looking a bit under the weather, though those mood readings are subjective and not independently confirmed. According to the recent social media chatter indexed in the search results, the couple have also been seen in Napa and returning to a normal Los Angeles routine after travel, but those are not as well verified as the People report and should be treated cautiously. The most biographically significant recent development is not a new career move or public announcement, but the continued wave of attention around Bieber's appearance, health, and marriage, which keeps feeding speculation about his personal stability and long term public image. Entertainment and tabloid style coverage in the past few days has leaned heavily on concern driven commentary, with posts and articles recycling old themes about his well being, his relationship with Hailey, and his visibility in public. There is also fresh social media attention around Bieber remaining a highly mentioned celebrity online, with one report saying he ranked among the most mentioned male singers on X in 2026, which underscores that his name still drives major conversation even without a big release cycle. There is no strong verified sign in the supplied results of a new album drop, major business launch, or formal public appearance in the past 24 hours. The closest thing to a headline is the ongoing stream of paparazzi and gossip coverage around the dinner sighting and the online interpretation of his demeanor, which is newsworthy mainly because it reflects how closely every outing now gets read as a clue about his health, marriage, and next career chapter. At this point, the safest read is that Bieber is in a quieter phase publicly, while still generating constant attention through small appearances and social media discourse, which can matter long term if it signals a sustained retreat from the spotlight rather than a temporary pause.

Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. In tonight's episode we talk with author Kelly Boyer Sagert about her award winning book entitled: "Wells Waite Miller and Me. An 8th OVI Civil War biography". Her fantastic book chronicles the life of the Civil War veteran Wells Waite Miller and his heroic efforts to help the Union win the war. On July 3, 1863 at the Battle of Gettysburg, twenty-one-year-old Captain Wells Waite Miller of the 8th Ohio Voluntary Infantry fought in the bloody heat of Pickett's Charge as dying men fell all around him. Ultimately, though, his “bruised and undersized regiment” played a crucial role in the Union victory. Chosen to lead an outpost about one hundred yards away from the main Union line, against seemingly insurmountable odds, Miller and 150 courageous men faced down six thousand desperate Rebels. Fighting valiantly, they “broke an entire . . . brigade of the Army of Northern Virginia.” Miller nearly died from his wounds, and this book reconstructs and celebrates the life of this forgotten Civil War hero—and the incredible synchronicities that exist between his life story and that of the author. The book also contains dozens of photos, most never published before, along with information directly from numerous descendants of Miller. Miller lived a captivating life before, during, and after the Civil War: a student in Oberlin during a tumultuous time in history; courageous soldier; briefly, a teacher; a highly respected agriculturist; revered member of his community; dedicated, trusted politician; and a son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather. You can order the book at local North Eastern Bookstores, (soon to be on) Amazon or direct from her website:https://kbsagert.com/ Kelly is a lot of fun and has several upcoming appearances to hear her speak about the book.

Justin Bieber Biography Flash a weekly Biography. In the past few days, the biggest verified Justin Bieber story has been the backlash over a video and photos that appeared to show him smoking near his son Jack Blues during a family holiday, with multiple outlets reporting that he then posted more smoking-related images and clips that many fans read as a pointed response, though he has not officially confirmed that interpretation according to The Express Tribune and LOS40. That has become the dominant online narrative because it touches both his public image and his role as a father, which gives it more biographical weight than a routine celebrity post. The other major recent development is a quieter but more positive one: People reported that Justin and Hailey Bieber were seen on Thursday August 6 leaving a low key dinner date at Sushi Fumi in Los Angeles, a small but useful signal that the couple is still presenting a united front in public. Billboard also reported that Bieber won the Fanatics Games at Fanatics Fest in New York and took home a 1 million dollar prize, then donated 500,000 dollars to the fan competitors and 500,000 dollars to charity, which is the kind of event that matters long term because it reinforces his visibility as a live performer and public figure beyond his recording career. As for his recent social media activity, the strongest verified thread is still the smoking posts, with outlets describing them as either a rebuttal to criticism or at least a doubling down on his laid back image. There is also chatter online about whether he is quietly working on new music, based on a relaxed guitar photo, but that remains speculation rather than confirmed album news, so it should be treated cautiously. Unconfirmed gossip also continues around his marriage and his general health, but those claims are being driven mostly by social media commentary and tabloid interpretation, not by any official statement or reliable new evidence. If there is one headline to watch from the last 24 hours, it is still the smoking controversy and the way Bieber appears to be answering criticism through his own feed rather than through a formal statement. That keeps him in the center of the conversation, for better or worse, and it is exactly the kind of messy, public, personal moment that shapes a modern celebrity biography. Thanks for listening.

According to Reuters and Publimetro México, Gastélum was shot dead on August 4 during a livestream, and while Peso Pluma's name spread online because of old viral flyeres and a coincidental social media image, no authority has linked the singer to the crime and the claims remain unconfirmed. Beyond that, the strongest recent biographical signal is business and career momentum rather than scandal. VidaDeFama.com reports that Peso Pluma is being associated with a new collaboration with De La Ghetto on a track called Pórtate Mal, with the video reportedly filmed in secret in Los Angeles, and the same outlet says he is also being positioned around a major U S tour concept called Dinastía by Peso Pluma and Friends. Those reports should be treated cautiously because they are not independently confirmed by major mainstream outlets, but if true they would matter long term because they suggest he is still expanding beyond regional Mexican music into broader cross genre and live event branding. On social media, there is also chatter around an Instagram post from RØZ and Peso Pluma hinting at another collaboration, but that appears to be promotional teasing rather than a fully verified release announcement. HypeAuditor continues to show Peso Pluma as one of the most followed Mexican music figures on Instagram, reinforcing how every post, rumor, and appearance still moves markets and fan conversation at scale. As for public appearances in the last few days, no major, fully verified red carpet or televised appearance surfaced in the reliable results provided. The online conversation instead centered on speculation, fan pages, and music reaction content, including debate over his continued dominance and the criticism that still follows corridos tumbados as a genre. The only recent headline with real long term significance is the continued proof that Peso Pluma remains a magnet for both hits and controversy, a combination that keeps him central in Latin pop culture.

Cristiano Ronaldo Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Cristiano Ronaldo has spent the past few days in a swirl of football, business, and relationship headlines, with the most biographically important development being his return to the Al Nassr orbit after Portugal's World Cup exit and his first public reunion with the club's new coach Ange Postecoglou. ESPN reports he cut his holiday short to watch Al Nassr play Almeria in Lisbon, greeting teammates and Postecoglou from the stands, while Gulf News says he had not yet resumed full training, which matters because it signals the start of another defining season at 41 and a fresh chapter under new management. According to Fox Sports and Euronews, another long term story is his expanding off pitch empire, including reporting that he is producing and starring in a scripted soccer drama series called Day 1s and that he has become involved in new investment and ownership moves, including a stake in Almeria and a role tied to LiveMode and streaming related business activity. Euronews also says he has been described as one of the first football billionaires, a milestone that reinforces his stature beyond sport. On the social media front, the loudest verified chatter came from Ronaldo himself. Multiple outlets and social posts reported that he posted or referenced my toys, showing off part of his car collection, which kept his luxury brand image in the headlines. Times of India and other reports also say he replied with the word Fácil to a viral post calling him history's most famous athlete, a small but very Ronaldo style flex that spread fast online. In family and personal life, speculation around a wedding with Georgina Rodriguez intensified after reports in the New York Post, VnExpress, and other outlets, but several of those same reports noted the date and location rumors were unconfirmed and in some cases debunked. The Jewish Chronicle also reported Georgina deleted a Hebrew caption after backlash, which kept the couple under social media scrutiny. The recent football gossip is less about a dramatic transfer and more about legacy and longevity. Goal and Euronews both describe criticism and debate after Portugal's World Cup elimination, with former club figures defending him and some discussion about a reduced international role going forward. That is the biographical thread to watch, because every appearance now feeds the final act of an all time career. Thanks for listening. This has been a Quiet Please production.

Dolly Parton Biography Flash a weekly Biography. In the past few days, Dolly Parton has been at the center of a real swirl of health chatter, tribute news, and a little bit of Nashville drama. The biggest verified development is that the Americana Music Association announced she will receive its Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2026 Americana Honors and Awards on September 16 at the Ryman Auditorium, and she is expected to accept virtually, which underlines that her influence still reaches across country, Americana, and mainstream music history. According to the Americana Music Association and reporting echoed by No Depression and WSAV, this is another major career honor for Parton after a lifetime of landmark recognition. Health concerns also briefly grabbed headlines after her sister Freida Parton posted an anxious message that set off fan worry, then later clarified that she had not meant to alarm anyone. According to The Daily Beats, that message came as Dolly has already been dealing with medical issues significant enough to postpone parts of her planned Las Vegas residency after doctors advised her to undergo procedures. That remains the most important near term biographical story, because it affects both her schedule and public visibility. There is also a reported new release with The Grascals called Broken Angels, described by CountryMusicNews and Country.de as a moving bluegrass ballad with an official video. If confirmed through Dollys own channels or a major label announcement, that would matter musically because it shows she is still actively recording and collaborating, not just resting on legacy status. For now, it should be treated as a promising but only lightly corroborated industry item. On the public appearance front, there have been no verified major in person sightings in the last few days, but her recent presence has been heavily mediated through awards news and older interview or social content recirculating online. That includes fan traffic around a throwback emotional look back at her career and a social media wave of admiration tied to her enduring image and recent health concern. Business wise, the biggest confirmed commercial activity remains the delayed residency and the continuing build out of her brand ecosystem around music, live shows, and catalog visibility. One unconfirmed but widely discussed story is that her mural in Nashville was vandalized and then restored, which generated local coverage and a quick cleanup response, but it is more of a civic footnote than a career turning point.

Andrew Huberman Biography Flash a weekly Biography. In the past few days, the biggest verified Andrew Huberman story has been the renewed backlash around his promotion of full body MRIs, with USA Today reporting on August 5 that the practice is drawing criticism over cost and false positives, a debate that could matter biographically because it reinforces his influence as a health authority and the scrutiny that comes with it. According to Huberman Lab, his main platform remains active and is still publishing science based guidance, while recent social posts from the Huberman Lab accounts continue to keep his brand highly visible across social media. USA Today reports that the MRI controversy is the clearest recent headline, and it is the only major item in the available results that rises to the level of broader public attention. There is also ongoing commercial activity around his name. Earthbar has launched a smoothie called The Protocol that it says is inspired by the protocols of Dr. Andrew Huberman, which is a small but telling sign of how deeply his wellness brand has been monetized and copied in the marketplace. That kind of product tie in is less biographically dramatic than a controversy, but it matters because it shows his name still functions as a consumer health brand beyond the podcast itself. On social media, the verified Huberman Lab Facebook page has been posting engagement driven content, including a recent post about memories emotions and immune status, indicating the team is still pushing short form educational hooks to keep attention high. The Huberman Lab YouTube channel also remains active, which suggests continued audience building rather than any retreat from public view. I did not find reliable evidence in the available results of a major new public appearance, formal business launch, or confirmed personal development in the last 24 to 48 hours beyond the MRI coverage and the ongoing promotional activity. There are unverified and low confidence claims circulating on lesser quality sites about peptides and personal supplement use, but those results are not reliable enough to treat as confirmed reporting, so they should be considered speculation only. In short, the recent biographical story is less about a new life chapter and more about a familiar one, Huberman still sits at the center of a loud mix of science, wellness branding, and public controversy, with the MRI backlash currently the most consequential headline for his long term public profile.

Shakira Biography Flash a weekly Biography. In the past few days, Shakira's biggest verified headlines have been social media driven but still biographically meaningful because they reinforce her current phase as a globally visible, career driven artist with a strong public memory. According to CNN Brasil and other entertainment coverage, she went viral for recreating her iconic 1990s computer meme, a playful move that reminded fans how long she has been part of pop culture and how effectively she still controls the narrative around her image. According to SDP Noticias and similar outlets, she posted the new photo on Instagram on August 4, triggering a wave of reactions and fresh nostalgia online. According to Billboard, Shakira also said goodbye to Uganda's Ghetto Kids in an Instagram post after they returned home following their World Cup final appearance with her and Burna Boy. That moment matters beyond the usual celebrity farewell because it ties her to the humanitarian and performance side of the 2026 World Cup story, one of the most significant recent chapters in her biography. According to Infobae and Argentine coverage, a photograph from a restaurant in the Dominican Republic showing Shakira with Antonio de la Rúa and her brother Tonino Mebarak fueled reunion rumors. Those reports are unconfirmed, and no one involved has publicly confirmed any reconciliation, so this should be treated as speculation rather than fact. The image is still generating attention because it connects back to an earlier and highly consequential period of her personal and professional life. According to Europa Press and Yahoo entertainment coverage, her Madrid residency continues to expand, with a twelfth concert added and the run framed as a major long term business and touring milestone. That is one of the clearest verified developments affecting her career trajectory right now. According to Terra and other outlets, there are also unconfirmed reports that she may be in the studio and possibly preparing new music, but that remains speculative. According to Times of India and other fact checks in the search results, viral claims that she hinted at a Gerard Piqué reconciliation are false. No verified reporting in the past few days confirms any personal reunion story, and recent gossip around that topic appears to be internet driven rather than sourced.

Till He Come brings together some of Charles H. Spurgeon's most tender and spiritually searching meditations on the Lord's Supper. Drawn from addresses delivered at the Metropolitan Tabernacle and also in smaller gatherings around the communion table, these messages invite believers to linger and renew their love and devotion for Christ in remembrance of His atoning sacrifice. Spurgeon leads readers into the heart of Christian communion – reflecting on Christ's love, His finished work, and the believers' fellowship with Him “until the day breaks and the shadows flee away.” Whether speaking of resting under the shadow of the Almighty, our Lord's loveliness, or the redemption we have because of His selfless sacrifice, Spurgeon masterfully expounds on the endless depth and breadth of Christ's love and character as displayed through His broken body and poured-out blood. These short sermons are especially suited for personal devotion, preparation for the Lord's Table, or for those entrusted with leading others in communion. Reverent, Christ-centered, and moving, Till He Come stands as one of Spurgeon's most precious devotional works – calling believers to remember their Savior, cherish His presence, and proclaim His death and resurrection until the day He returns for His chosen. About the Author Charles Haddon (C. H.) Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher. He started preaching at age 16 and quickly became famous. He is still known as the “Prince of Preachers” and frequently had more than 10,000 people present to hear him preach at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. His sermons were printed in newspapers, translated into many languages, and published in many books.

This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we turn to the state of journalism—at a moment of deep disruption, consolidation, and consequence.  Across the country and around the world, newsrooms are shrinking, ownership is concentrating, and the very idea of a free and independent press is under pressure. But journalists aren't simply standing by—they're pushing back, reimagining their work, and, in many cases, taking matters into their own hands. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: Mainstream media has a lot to account for in 2024, but go back 90 years, and prestigious publications have often failed to see when things were so clearly wrong. In 1930s Germany, many journalists downplayed Adolf Hitler's ascension to power, with the New York Times writing “There is no warrant for immediate alarm…The more violent parts of his alleged program he has himself in recent months been softening down or abandoning.” But one young British journalist who, seeing what was happening, quit his job with The London Times and founded The Week, a newsletter that became famous for its opposition to fascism and the Western powers that were enabling it. His name was Claud Cockburn, and he's the subject of a newly-released biography by his son, Patrick Cockburn, “Believe Nothing Until It Is Officially Denied: Claud Cockburn and the Invention of Guerrilla Journalism,” out now via Verso Books. Patrick is an award-winning journalist himself, with a long expertise in the Middle East. And Patrick is Laura Flanders' uncle; Claud is her grandfather. How did mainstream media miss what Claud knew about the rise of Nazis, and how did his guerilla journalism make an impact? And why is Claud's story so relevant now? All that, plus a commentary from Laura.

Justin Bieber Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Justin Bieber's last few days have been a mix of low‑key family summer, social‑media controversy, and quiet career positioning that could end up being biographically pivotal. First, on the personal and public‑appearance front, local outlet KHQ in Idaho reports that Justin and Hailey were spotted visiting the small business Breaking Bread CDA in North Idaho, continuing his long‑standing pattern of retreating to the Pacific Northwest and Montana during touring breaks for slower, family‑oriented summers. That repeated choice of North Idaho as a seasonal base is becoming a genuine lifestyle chapter for Bieber, not just a one‑off vacation. Social media has been louder. The Express Tribune and Geo.tv both report on the backlash after video showed Justin smoking a cigar while on a Mediterranean family holiday with Hailey and their young son Jack Blues, prompting criticism that he was smoking too close to the child. In the past few days, Los40 in Spain and Geo.tv note that Bieber has responded indirectly on Instagram, posting fresh images of himself with a cigar and even a selfie seemingly “trolling the trolls,” without issuing a formal statement. Commentators frame these posts as a defiant, image‑management moment: Justin telegraphing that he will live on his own terms, while letting the public debate rage around him. Any deeper psychological reading of those posts is speculative and not confirmed by Bieber. On the business side, Holr Magazine details a July 30 Instagram carousel where Justin blends golf and boating shots with prominent placement of his fashion label SKYLRK's logo, a subtle but sustained push that shows he's treating SKYLRK as a long‑term brand, not a quick merch drop. That makes these otherwise casual summer posts significant: they document Bieber's evolution into lifestyle entrepreneur, integrating fashion and personal aesthetic into his public identity. Musically, Forbes highlights how his World Cup Final halftime performance of “Everything Hallelujah” has driven a notable chart resurgence, with multiple older hits reappearing on global rankings and “Everything Hallelujah” nearly cracking the U.S. Digital Song Sales top 10 again. That kind of catalog rebound, tied to a single high‑profile performance, reinforces Bieber's staying power and will likely be remembered as part of his mid‑2020s comeback narrative. Meanwhile, fan chatter on X and Instagram about him strumming acoustic guitar in a home‑studio setting has sparked unconfirmed speculation of a new album in the works, but there is no verified announcement of fresh touring or a release date yet; industry coverage continues to stress that he remains off the road and focused on studio work. Pregnancy rumors circulating after a date‑night video of Hailey resting a hand on her stomach are pure social‑media speculation at this point, with no comment or confirmation from the couple.

Marlon and Jake dive into one of literature's trickiest subjects: sex. Why do some writers capture intimacy with honesty while others veer into the unintentionally hilarious? Along the way, they discuss why writing about sex is really writing about people, the differences between American and French attitudes toward sexuality in fiction, ghost stories as a vehicle for taboo desires, and the delicate balance between telling the truth and keeping readers engaged. Tune in for a conversation about why the best writing on sex is rarely just about sex.

"We probably have some sense of what narrative is. So when your brain starts turning into the little movie camera because this is a juicy scene, then it's like, well, what would I want to show? What what would I want to know here?" says Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, author of Parks and Rec: The Underdog TV Show That Lit'rally Inspired a Vision for a Better America.Dude, we have Jennifer Keishin Armstrong here today. What brings her to the CNF Pod-o-Verse is her latest book, her ninth, titled Parks and Rec: The Underdog TV Show That Lit-rally Inspired a Vision for a Better America. It's published by Dutton with a forward by Nick Offerman. Jennifer also is the best selling author of Seinfeldia, and we talk about that as well, how timing is everything and there are so many things out of our control … She can be found @jmkarmstrong on IG and jenniferkamrstrong.com.OK, so Jennifer's Parks book came out earlier this year and it's a wonderful, breezy read about one of my all-time favorite TV shows, a show that is deeply important to me. We watch it all the time. We own the DVDs so we actually OWN it, not beholden to the whims of streaming platforms who can deplatform shows at the click of a mouse, presumably. Jennifer's book takes you behind the scenes with actors, writers, producers and shares never before told anecdotes and insights as to why this show has such staying power despite nearly being cancelled after every season. So, yes, we talk about Parks, but we mainly talk about: Dictionaries When your brain turns into a movie camera Jennifer's “practice book” she never talks about Her guidelines for pursuing a book How the dialogue around TV has changed in the last 25 years The ruthlessness of story craft How Parks got out from under the shadow of The Office Serendipity and non-meritocracy Living on the long tail Lessons from the Parks run And all the things out of our controlInstagram: @creativenonfictionpodcastSubstack: welcometopitchclub.substack.com

Murray Rothbard started his career with a foundational training in neoclassical economics. At Columbia University, he learned from highly regarded professors and demonstrated a thorough understanding of the positivist method, Keynesian and Marshallian economic theory, and institutional empirical analysis. Crucially, Rothbard perceived the fact that critical errors existed in these disparate strands of knowledge, although he could not yet articulate them. But the recognition itself motivated him to take the highly important step of contacting the free-market Foundation for Economic Education and the William Volker Fund, thereby discovering Austrian economics.

Murray Rothbard's economic perspective changed significantly in 1949 when he met Ludwig von Mises and read his magnum opus, Human Action. With the financial support of the Volker Fund, Rothbard accepted Mises's offer to write a textbook rendition of his treatise. Early on, Rothbard evinced a thorough understanding of Mises's monetary transmission mechanism and praxeological method. This allowed him to further develop the theories of value and price formation the emerging neoclassical synthesis had neglected. In particular, Rothbard used the means-ends relationship to deduce the law of ordinal marginal utility rankings and contrasted it with modern theories of utility. He then showed how this law logically resulted in demand schedules that always sloped downward, which in turn led to a theory of pricing that explained the process of equilibration to the market clearing price. Finally, he extended his analysis to price formation in a monetary economy. In addition to exhibiting his own intellectual progress, Rothbard's developments significantly advanced economic science because Mises assumed these logical deductions but never actually derived them.

The completion of the first draft of Man, Economy, and State enabled Murray Rothbard to move on to other activities and projects. He earned his doctorate in 1956 and reviewed papers and books for the Volker Fund, evaluating contemporary research using the body of economic theorems he had deduced. Focusing on the Chicago School, Rothbard criticized Israel Kirzner's attempt to fuse Austrian insights with neo-Marshallian production theory as well as Milton Friedman and others' neo-Fisherian monetary economics. Rothbard not only criticized new publications; he also continued to edit his treatise, adding new references and making other changes. In 1962, despite professional and institutional obstacles, Man, Economy, and State was finally published. With it, Rothbard greatly advanced the Austrian tradition and firmly positioned himself as Mises's heir.

Alfred Hitchcock remains cinema's Master of Suspense a century after directing his first film, but decades of biography have blurred the line between the man and the myth. Mike talks with author Tony Lee Moral about his sixth Hitchcock book, A Century of Hitchcock, and the archival discovery that reshaped it: a 36-page 1980 transcript of biographer Donald Spoto's own interview with Tippi Hedren.Moral traces how Spoto's personal grievances against Hitchcock — including being routinely ignored by name and bitten by the director's West Highland terrier — colored The Darkside of Genius and shaped decades of tabloid narrative. Drawing on new interviews with secretaries, screenwriters, and script supervisors who worked alongside Hitchcock, Moral makes the case for reexamining the record on Hitchcock's treatment of women, from Tippi Hedren's shifting accounts to the making of The Birds and Marnie.The conversation also revisits The Pleasure Garden on its hundredth anniversary, Hitchcock's collaboration with Salvador Dalí on Spellbound, and what a possible sixth Hitchcock book might hold.
