The choices we have here in America are different from the choices people have in Russia. We can vote. That is the most important right that has not been taken away. In Putin's Russia, elections have not been free for decades. Opposition candidates are barred from running, and even then the results are manipulated to deliver Putin a staggering victory. So this is what I can tell my American listeners: vote. – Svetlana SatchkovaSvetlana Satchkova is a Russian-born journalist and novelist who immigrated to the United States in 2016.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with poet Sharon Israel about her poetry collection, Voice Lesson (Post Traumatic Press). Sharon Israel's poems are full of song and detail, movement and color; the pleasures she brings to the page are many and varied. We are as likely to find Israel's speaker sighting owls in the Catskills, or helping in her dad's butcher shop, as in the world of music implied by the title. In Voice Lesson, Israel's urge is alchemical, so that when she's behind the counter, “scoop[ing] shiny brains into plastic bags” she is also arranging them “carefully like pale jewels.” She's after a kind of transformation, and urges us, “Always make room/for that singing thing/inside you.”  —Daisy Fried, author of Women's Poetry: Poems and Advice Sharon Israel, Sephardic American poet and soprano, was an early recipient of Brooklyn College's Leonard Hecht Poetry Explication Award, was nominated for “Best of the Net” 2016 and won Four Lines' 2020 winter poetry challenge. Her chapbook Voice Lesson was published by Post Traumatic Press. Her work has most recently appeared in Loud Coffee Press among other journals (print and on-line) and anthologies. .

In this latest episode of Salt Lake Dirt, I was so happy to welcome filmmaker Michelle Bossy back to the show. Michelle is someone who stays incredibly busy—she's actually directed 20+ short films and two features at this point—so it's always a treat to catch up with her and see what she's been working on. This time around, we took a deep dive into two of her latest short films, "We Regret to Inform You" and "Exception(al)," both of which have been making some serious noise on the festival circuit. We started things off talking about "We Regret to Inform You," which was written by and stars Michelle's long-time friend, Zina Wilde. It's a 13-minute film that manages to be both funny and deeply moving, using a bit of magical realism to explore the universal pain of a bad breakup. Xena's script likens heartbreak to a terminal heart condition, where a bumbling health insurance operator, played wonderfully by Kai Lennox, calls to tell her it's her last day of life. It's a beautiful, textured piece of storytelling that really packs an emotional punch in a short amount of time. Then we went on to talk about "Exception(al)," which was written by and stars another massive talent, Molly Powers. This one was filmed right on the campus of Brooklyn College during the summer. Molly drew from her own personal experiences in film school to dramatize the feeling of being an outsider, often as the only woman or Asian American person in the room. It explores complex themes of representation and microaggressions in academia without ever feeling pitying. Michelle even shared a great behind-the-scenes story about having to scale a campus fence after the crew got locked in on the final day of shooting! Beyond the films, Michelle also gave us a look at her extensive work in theater. She's currently involved with a play about Bill Cosby written by Janine Nabers that's heading to Los Angeles this fall, and she's been touring the world with a production called "A Poem and a Mistake." If you want to keep up with what she's doing, you can find her on Instagram at @michellebossydirects or check out her feature film "Nobody's Home" on Apple.

Magyarok Amerikában, New York-i magyar történetek, magyar vállalkozó Amerikában, Mayer szörp az USA-ban, Oszter Gábor életútja és a MÓKA Podcast egyik legszínesebb beszélgetése. Ebben az epizódban egy budapesti fiú történetét ismerjük meg, aki 1989-ben érkezett Amerikába, Brooklynban nőtt bele az új világba, majd vállalkozóként magyar ízeket kezdett el vinni az amerikai piacra.   Oszter Gábor története bevándorlásról, honvágyról, New York-i magyar közösségről, vállalkozói ösztönről, Coney Island különös világáról és a Mayer szörp amerikai útjáról szól.   Gábor gyerekként nem tűzoltó vagy buszvezető akart lenni, hanem hamburgert és hot dogot szeretett volna árulni a Körúton. Már akkor is az emberekkel való kapcsolódás érdekelte, nem csak az eladás, hanem a beszélgetés, a kiszolgálás és az a különös energia, ami egy jó kereskedőben megvan.   1989. november 9-én, a berlini fal leomlásának napján érkezett családjával az Egyesült Államokba. Ő maga nem nagyon akart eljönni Magyarországról, hiszen otthon voltak a barátai, az édesapja, a kutyája, és már gyerekként is járt a Petőfi Csarnok bolhapiacára, ahol pénzt keresett. Amerika eleinte nem álom volt számára, hanem kényszerű újrakezdés.   A beszélgetésben szó van arról, milyen volt magyar tinédzserként Brooklynban iskolába járni, angolul tanulni, beilleszkedni, és közben keresni a magyarokat. Gábor mesél a high school évekről, az első magyar barátokról, a brooklyni kosarazásról, majd a Central Parkban kialakuló magyar focis közösségről. Mobiltelefon és social media nélkül, csak ismerősökön, vonatokon és beszélgetéseken keresztül gyűltek össze a magyarok.   Előkerül a régi New York-i magyar közösség világa is: Molnár Travel, repülőjegyek, bevándorlási ügyek, magyar rendezvények, magyar napok, és az a korszak, amikor a közösség sokkal személyesebb volt.   Gábor életútja nem hagyományos karriertörténet. Nem az iskolapadból építette magát, hanem az életből. Mesél a Brooklyn College-ról, Kingsborough Community College-ról, a tanulással kapcsolatos nehézségeiről, és arról, hogyan érezte már fiatalon, hogy ő inkább "street smart" típus, aki az emberek között tanulja meg, hogyan működik a világ.   Az epizód egyik legérdekesebb része Gábor első amerikai vállalkozása: cukros és snack automatákat helyezett ki Brooklynban, Brighton Beachen, Coney Island környékén, éttermekben, mosodákban, bárokban és car service helyeken. Innen jönnek a legfilmszerűbb történetek is: maffiás környezet, éttermek előtti őrök, razziák, készpénzes sztorik, és egy olyan New York, amit ma már nehéz elképzelni.   A beszélgetés második nagy témája a Mayer szörp és a Mayer's Harvest. Hogyan lesz egy magyar szörpből amerikai termék? Hogyan lehet elmagyarázni az amerikai fogyasztónak, hogy a szörp nem pancake syrup, nem cough syrup, hanem egy magyar és európai italélmény, amit vízzel, szódával, koktélokban, teában, kávéban, desszertekhez, sőt akár pácoláshoz is lehet használni?   Ez az epizód nem csak szörpről szól. Hanem arról, hogy mit jelent magyar vállalkozóként Amerikában gondolkodni, két ország között élni, két kultúrából építkezni, és közben valami olyat létrehozni, ami egyszerre üzlet, küldetés és identitás.   Fejezetek:   00:00 Bevezető: maffiás sztorik és magyar szörp Amerikában 01:52 Oszter Gábor bemutatása és gyerekkori álma 04:22 Kiköltözés Amerikába 1989-ben 06:34 Brooklyn, high school és az első magyar barátok 08:37 Central Park, magyar foci és New York-i közösség 13:35 Iskola, Brooklyn College és a "street smart" életút 18:32 Cukros automaták, Candyman és az első vállalkozás 23:10 Coney Island, Brighton Beach és a 90-es évek vad New Yorkja 27:02 Mercedes Dallasba és egy gyanús ajánlat 33:20 Delta Airlines, munka és amerikai lehetőségek 45:00 Hogyan került képbe a Mayer szörp? 50:00 Magyar ízek az amerikai piacon 58:00 Mayer's Harvest, Amazon és az amerikai piac 01:02:02 Szörp koktélba, kávéba, pácoláshoz és desszertekhez 01:09:57 Zárás és folytatás   Website: www.mayersharvest.com (http://www.mayersharvest.com/) Amazon Store: https://rb.gy/j1eiuy   Iratkozz fel a csatornára további magyar New York-i interjúkért és podcast epizódokért.   https://bit.ly/MOKAPodcatsSign  Kövess minket Facebookon: @mokapodcast Instagramon: @mokapodcastusa Web: mokapodcast.com Spotify  (https://bit.ly/mokapodcast) Apple Podcast  (https://bit.ly/moka2021) [Google Podcast](https://bit.ly/MokaGoogle) [Deezer](https://bit.ly/MokaDeezer) [LibSyn](https://bit.ly/MokaLibsyn) [Facebook](https://bit.ly/MokaFB)   magyarok Amerikában, magyarok New Yorkban, New York-i magyarok, magyar podcast, MÓKA Podcast, Oszter Gábor, Mayer szörp, Mayer's Harvest, magyar szörp Amerikában, magyar vállalkozó Amerikában, Brooklyn magyarok, Coney Island, Brighton Beach, magyar közösség Amerikában, bevándorlás Amerikába, Hungarian Americans, Hungarian podcast

He was the founding president of the National Association of Scholars from 1987 to 2009. Balch received a bachelor's degree, magna cum laude, from Brooklyn College, City University of New York, in 1964. He received his master's degree (1967) and Ph.D. (1972) in political science from the University of California in Berkeley. It was during the Berkeley riots that he became a conservative and he is now a Republican. Dr. Balch was awarded the National Humanities Medal from President George W. Bush at the White House on November 15, 2007. The award cited him “for leadership and advocacy upholding the noblest traditions in higher education,” and went on to say that “his work on behalf of reasoned scholarship in a free society has made him a leading champion of excellence and reform at our nation's universities.”Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

Bob and Eric Alterman, Brooklyn College distinguished professor consider the difficulties facing mainstream press and other media outlets to inform the American people of the president's and his administration's questionable-sometimes illegal, decisions, their disregard of the truth and the rule of law to the American people and how vital this information is to us all.

Send us Fan MailJews, especially American Jews, have never been of one mind about Israel and the United States' support for it. Eric Alterman, Distinguished Professor of English, Brooklyn College, CUNY, joins the show to discuss his 2022 book We Are Not One: A History of America's Fight Over Israel. He documents the ebbs and flows of American Jews' relationship to Israel, from the more muted embrace following Israel's establishment in 1948, to the tight embrace that followed the war in 1967 and the hegemony of the David and Goliath myth it spawned. After Israel's destructive and disastrous war of choice in Lebanon that began in 1982, the gap between the myth of Israel as underdog and its reality as a settler-colonial regional hegemon began to disintegrate. In our discussion he traces this relationship up until the present, post-October 7 reality in which Israel is losing support across all fronts.

She is the author of Faux Feminism: Why We Fall for White Feminism and How We Can Stop. In this episode, we focus on Faux Feminism. We discuss what feminism is, if it makes sense to talk about “waves” of feminism, and the idea of white feminism. We go through myths regarding feminism, including the Freedom Myth, the Individualism Myth, the Culture Myth, the Restriction Myth, and the Judgment Myth. We talk about the idea of “girlbosses”, and capitalism and neoliberal feminism. We discuss intersectional feminism, and whether tradition is the enemy of feminism.

What does it really mean to do good, and who gets to decide? Saadia sits down with Dr. Rhea Rahman, an anthropologist at Brooklyn College, CUNY, and the author of Racializing the Umma: Muslim Humanitarians Beyond Black, Brown, and White. After more than a decade embedded with Islamic Relief, the largest Muslim NGO in the West, Dr. Rahman asks the questions most of us avoid: when Muslim organizations fly across the world to help, whose definition of "help" are they using? The episode gets into: The "good Muslim" trap-how Islamic charities are pressured to depoliticize themselves to gain Western acceptance Racial hierarchies inside Muslim communities and why South Asian Muslims are often disconnected from Black Muslim struggles The savior mentality immigrants unknowingly inherit  and the hard work of unlearning it A radical reframe of Zakat: it's not charity. It's returning what was never yours to begin with What abolitionist Muslims and mutual aid movements are building as an alternative Whether you work in a nonprofit, donate to Islamic causes, or have ever questioned whether your good intentions are actually good, this one will sit with you.

Earthworms are supposed to be a sign of healthy soil. But they're actually an invasive species that can even damage forests. So have we been sold a lie about worms and soil? Not exactly. The relationship between the two depends on the context. And the way we garden — or farm — can make all the difference. IDEAS producer Annie Bender unearths the complicated truth about the not-so lowly earthworm.Guests in this episode:Joshua Steckley is a political ecologist, postdoctoral fellow at Carleton University and the author of The Nightcrawlers: A Story of Worms, Cows, and Cash in the Underground Bait Industry.Peter Groffman is a professor at the City University of New York Advanced Science Research Center and Brooklyn College, with research interests in ecosystem, soil, landscape and microbial ecology, with a focus on carbon and nitrogen dynamics.Mike McTavish is a conservation scientist at a rare Charitable Research Reserve in Cambridge, Ontario.Janet Browne is a historian of science and Darwin biographer, author of a two-volume set called Darwin: A Biography.

Today, Razib talks to Chris Masterjohn, a nutritional scientist and leading expert in mitochondrial biology who believes hidden energy bottlenecks underlie much of modern disease. After years of work as a professor and researcher, he founded Mitome, the first mitochondrial analysis designed for everyday health, and serves as its Scientific Director. His mission is to make mitochondrial testing accessible so people can identify and correct the specific energy limitations holding them back. After earning his PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Connecticut in 2012, he completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and subsequently served as an Assistant Professor of Health and Nutrition Sciences at Brooklyn College. He has a Substack. Razib and Masterjohn first discuss the impact of social media on the communication of science, and his wrangling with the public health establishment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Masterjohn explains how digging into the primary literature showed that the authorities were claiming far greater certainty than they should have, and recounts attempts to censor and rebuke him when he pointed this out. He also addresses some misrepresentations that Anthony Fauci engaged in during his tenure. Next, Razib asks Masterjohn about the insights he has gained from nutritional science in terms of how he lives his own life, and his overall philosophy of public health. Masterjohn pushes against the tendency to over-medicalize and rely on pharmaceuticals before looking to common-sense nutrition and exercise. They then discuss the importance of the mitochondrion in molecular genetics, and how that is relevant both in terms of physiology and evolution. Masterjohn then talks about his company, Mitome, and the added value of greater and greater metabolic and genetic information in the present age.

Lindsey Elizabeth Cortes interviews returning guest Marina Paul, founder and CEO of Superhera, a data-driven sports apparel company addressing female athletes' ill-fitting, male-centric gear and its links to body image and performance. Marina describes research conducted with 858 respondents (with researchers from Brooklyn College and Notre Dame) showing contradictions: 65% said sportswear is “fine,” yet 55% considered restricting food to fit better and 39% had done so; many also altered gear to make it work. Most athletes prioritized fit over look, and while 80% said they look like an athlete, descriptions of the “ideal” athlete emphasized being leaner and more toned. Marina explains Superhera's evolution into a sizing technology company using athlete measurements and photos to recommend uniform sizes and create custom gear for teams, now including men's teams. Marina Paul is the Founder and CEO of Superhera, a data-driven sports apparel company dedicated to closing the "gear gap" for female athletes. A former Division I soccer captain at Georgetown University, Marina transitioned from elite athletics to a career in consulting before launching Superhera to solve a systemic multi-billion dollar sizing error in the sportswear market. Her mission is deeply personal: after a successful career on the field was marred by a battle with body dysmorphia—driven by ill-fitting, male-centric uniforms—Marina set out to revolutionize the industry.

Watch the full video: https://youtu.be/X_zhPu3xCd4 In this episode of The Science of Creativity, Keith Sawyer speaks with psychologist and artist Aaron Kozbelt about what really drives creative achievement. Challenging the idea that creativity starts with a brilliant idea, Kozbelt argues that innovation often emerges from restructuring the creative process itself. Drawing on research in visual art and music, he explores how artists develop over time, why some creators peak early while others improve across decades, and how training—especially in drawing—changes perception. The conversation also examines whether originality is overrated and why patience, iteration, and engagement with tradition may matter more than radical novelty. Key Takeaways • Creativity is less about isolated ideas and more about reshaping process. • Artists follow different developmental trajectories—some peak early, others gradually. • Drawing training enhances perceptual flexibility and attentional control. • Enduring creative work often builds deeply on tradition rather than chasing novelty. • Time and distance are powerful tools for evaluating creative work. About Dr. Aaron Kozbelt Dr. Aaron Kozbelt is a Professor of psychology at Brooklyn College, City University of New York. His research program, focusing on creativity and cognition in the arts, derives largely from his outside interests. In addition to his training in psychology, he has spent more than 20 years as a practicing visual artist, and his initial research forays grew directly out of his experiences as an artist. Kozbelt has also incorporated his long-standing interest in classical music into a line of archival research examining patterns of creativity over the lifespan of classical composers. More recently, he has started research on creative cognition, humor production and sexual selection, and metacognition and evaluation in creative problem solving.

About a century before the birth of Jesus, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a remarkable man began a nearly unprecedented intellectual endeavor. Sima Qian, like his father before him, was an official in the imperial court. Working on a plan left behind by his father, Sima Qian began writing a history of China for the two thousand years before his own time. The scope of his labors, and the historiographical discipline and philosophy of history that he brought to them, make him a sort of combination of Herodotus, Thucydides, Livy, and Plutarch. Yet in many ways, his personal life was just as extraordinary. With me to discuss this monumental figure in the writing of history, either in China or anywhere else, is Andrew Meyer, Professor of History at Brooklyn College, and an expert in early Chinese intellectual history. He was recently on the podcast discussing his book To Rule All under Heaven: A History of Classical China: From Confucius to the First Emperor.

This episode features Mark Ungar, a professor of criminal justice and political science at Brooklyn College and the City University of New York. Ungar has written extensively on the rule of law, policing, and human rights in Latin America, and more recently has focused his research on environmental organized crime across the Amazon basin. Ungar notes that environmental organized crime—illegal gold mining, logging, cattle ranching, and land grabbing—has become the third largest criminal enterprise globally and is now deeply intertwined with narcotrafficking operations. Rather than existing as separate phenomena, these activities share infrastructure, routes, and personnel. Criminal networks carrying out environmental organized crime are deeply intertwined with state actors and the legal economy. The nexus involves governors, military officials, environmental ministry personnel, and municipal authorities at multiple levels. Even when good laws exist, implementation remains weak because investigations rarely lead to prosecutions of major figures. The episode turns to Venezuela's Orinoco Mining Arc, a zone covering roughly 12 percent of national territory that then-president Nicolás Maduro established in 2016. Ungar describes it as a "criminal state project" in which the Maduro government effectively legalized destructive extraction in a geologically unique and biodiverse area that includes nature reserves and indigenous territories. The zone is controlled by a confluence of Venezuelan military officials, Colombian armed groups including the ELN and FARC dissidents, Brazilian garimpeiros, and local criminal organizations called sindicatos and pranes. Violence is extreme, and environmental and health consequences are devastating, with ninety percent of pregnant women and schoolchildren showing elevated mercury levels in their blood. Ungar explains how the gold and minerals extracted from this area enter legitimate international markets. Between 2016 and 2021, the Mining Arc generated approximately $2.2 billion in gold revenue, but an estimated 86 percent was mined illegally, and roughly 70 percent was smuggled through shell companies and opaque supply chains. The zone also contains big deposits of coltan, iron, bauxite, and other sought-after minerals. Ungar shares concern about the Trump administration's current approach to Venezuela. While the administration has focused on oil access, counternarcotics, migration, and excluding Chinese influence, there appears to be no priority given to addressing environmental organized crime. Ungar suggests that Washington's willingness to work with the current Venezuelan government—the Maduro regime minus Maduro himself—likely means business as usual for state-sponsored extraction intertwined with organized crime. Consumer countries must stop looking the other way about the origins of products that end up in legitimate commerce.

On this episode of the Visual Intonation Podcast, filmmaker Shana L. Darabie joins the mic with a voice shaped by image, genre, and deep interior listening. Born in Long Beach, California and based in Brooklyn, Shana traces a path from fashion design to film, from texture and silhouette to shadow and story. Her early training at the Fashion Institute of Technology sharpened her eye. Her later studies at Brooklyn College gave language to the images she could already see. Shana speaks plainly about process. About doubt. About the courage it takes to be vulnerable on the page. She reflects on how a single class project unlocked her desire to direct, how long treatments can sit before a script finally arrives, fast and fully formed. Science fiction and horror are not escapes for her. They are tools. Ways to explore fear, identity, and the systems that press on the mind. Films like The Trail, What Happened to Candice, and Trouble Connecting reveal a filmmaker committed to atmosphere and emotional truth. In conversation with host, the dialogue widens. Mental health moves to the center. Not as an abstraction, but as lived reality. They discuss how cinema has portrayed mental illness with care or cruelty, how poverty and access shape outcomes, and why compassionate storytelling matters. Shana opens up about her short Canary Trap, community support, and the quiet power of creative connection, whether formed in a writers room or over Zoom. The episode closes with reflection and recommendation. Films that linger. Films that listen. Shana shares titles that have shaped her way of seeing, including Tully, The Snake Pit, Young Adult, Welcome to Me, Perfect Blue paired with Millennium Actress, and Year of the Dog. It is a conversation about making work that resonates personally. About art as self care. About staying rooted while reaching toward the unknown.    Shana L.

The two hundred and eighty years between the death of the philosopher Confucius and the reign of the first Emperor of China saw one of the most profound revolutions in human history. Not only did it end with the creation of an imperial rule that persisted through successive dynasties for 2,132 years, but it also saw the creation of “new traditions of thought and practice…great monuments of art, literature, and philosophy…that still inform social life in our own lifetime.” The era of the “warring states”, as scholars call it, was critical not just for China or East Asia, “but to that of humanity writ large.”Yet this era remains almost unknown in the English-speaking world. “If one enters any bookstore…in search of a book about classical Athens, the conquestions of Alexander, or the early Roman Republic,” writes my guest Andrew Meyer, “one will have many options. But if one looks for such a book about the corresponding period in early Chinese history, there are none. I wrote this book to fill that gap.”Andrew Seth Meyer is Professor of History at Brooklyn College. A specialist in the intellectual history of early China, he is the author of The Dao of the Military: Liu An's Art of War and co-author of The Huainanzi: A Guide to the Theory and Practice of Government in Early Han China. His latest book is To Rule All under Heaven: A History of Classical China, from Confucius to the First Emperor, which is the subject of our conversation today.Chapters0:35 - Book Overview & Historical Context 4:47 - Dating the Warring States Period 8:42 - What Are the Warring States? 11:08 - Social Structure & Aristocracy 18:39 - Rivers & Regional Differences 24:45 - Military Power & Wealth 31:37 - Four Great Questions: State Models 40:51 - Centralization vs Regional Autonomy 51:26 - Education & Intellectuals

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we look back at the Defund The Police two-part discussion, originally episode 330 from 2020-06-19.Original writeup below:A very timely and hugely informative one for you this week, as Pip is joined by two guests, one after the other. The first is Alex S. Vitale (professor of sociology at Brooklyn College, US), followed by Dr Adam Elliott-Cooper (University Of Greenwich, humanities and social science department).With everything we've seen over the last month in most recent history, one sentiment and statement that's been gaining traction is “Defund The Police”. On face value and without any further research or intrigue, this could come across in an entirely different way than it is supposed to. Pip did a good amount of digging, and after being passed along to appropriate potential guests, meetings were set up and he arrived at two people who are well versed and well equiped to speak on the issue. In the interest of balance, he speaks to Alex from the US, where the issue is very pertinent and pressing and also has very different implications for society there, and also Adam from the UK, who goes into what this means for the UK and the nuances involved.It's a complex matter for sure, but along with the accompanying links from Pip to break down what's been talked about, and a comprehensive conclusion, you'll hopefully be way more up on the subject than you might have been previously, and have a good understanding on what it means to say ‘defund the police'. Be informed, share, and enjoy.ADAM ELLIOTT on TWITTERADAM ONLINEALEX VITALE on TWITTERALEX ONLINEALEX's ARTICLE in THE GUARDIAN PIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITTERPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.
