At the 2025 National Membership Meeting of Jewish Voice for Peace in Baltimore, MD, thousands of anti-Zionist Jews gathered to reaffirm their opposition to Israel's occupation of Palestine and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians—and to reject the antisemitic notion that the political ideology of Zionism represents all Jews. In this vital and wide-ranging discussion recorded during the JVP gathering in Baltimore, TRNN's Marc Steiner sits down with self-identified Palestinian Jews Esther Farmer and Ariella Aïsha Azoulay to discuss the complexities of Jewish identity and belonging today, the historical origins of Israel, and “the way that Zionism destroyed both Palestine and the diverse modes of Jewish life” that predate and reject the Zionist project.Ariella Aïsha Azoulay is a Palestinian Jew of African origins, film essayist, curator, and professor of modern culture and comparative literature at Brown University. She is the author of numerous books, including: Potential History: Unlearning Imperialism; The Civil Contract of Photography; and From Palestine to Israel: A Photographic Record of Destruction and State Formation, 1947-1950. Esther Farmer is a Palestinian Jew and native Brooklynite passionate about using theater as a tool for community development. She is former Ombudsman and Manager for the New York City Housing Authority, former United Nations representative for the International Association for Community Development and was an original founder of Teamsters for a Democratic Union. She is also a Jewish Voice for Peace NYC chapter leader and the director and playwright of “Wrestling with Zionism.”Producer: Rosette SewaliStudio Production: Cameron GranadinoAudio Post-Production: Alina NehlichHelp TRNN continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on BlueskyLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers The woman you just heard is Gene Tierney. She was born on November 19th, 1920 in Brooklyn, New York. Raised in Connecticut, she excelled in poetry, took up student acting, and eventually spent two years attending school in Switzerland, where she learned to speak French. On a family trip to the West Coast, she visited Warner Bros. studios, where her cousin Gordon Hollingshead worked as a producer. Director Anatole Litvak, taken by her beauty, convinced Gene to take a screen test. Warner Brothers wanted to sign her, but her father convinced her to stay home, enter society, and become a theater actress. She studied acting in Greenwich Village and soon found herself getting increasing roles on Broadway along with reviews about her acting prowess and natural beauty. Eventually Gene's father set up a company to fund her acting interests. She met Howard Hughes, who became a lifelong friend. In 1940 she starred as Patricia Stanley on Broadway in The Male Animal. Features in Life, Harper's Bazaar, and Vogue soon followed. Darryl Zanuck, head of 20th Century Fox, saw her both acting and later dancing at The Stork Club, and signed her to a contract. She debuted later that year in a supporting role, opposite Henry Fonda, in Fritz Lang's western, The Return of Frank James. By 1944 she'd made eleven films. That Autumn she wrapped up filming of Laura opposite Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb, and Vincent Price. Before its premiere in November she guest-starred on Duffy's Tavern on Friday, September 22nd. The brainchild of star Ed Gardner, Duffy's Tavern debuted as part of CBS's Forecast pilot series in 1940. It was hailed by critics as the most-original comedy of 1941. The fictitious bar was allegedly located in Manhattan on 3rd avenue and 23rd street. It was the “eyesore of the East side” where the “elite meet to eat.” Duffy never made an appearance, but his frequent phone calls were a constant source of anxiety. Gardner's heavily New York-accented Archie has inspired several characters in the years since, like Moe in The Simpsons. Eddie Green was Eddie, Marvin Miller announced, Sandra Gould was Miss Duffy, and Charlie Cantor was Finnegan. In September 1944 the show moved to NBC. This was the season's second episode. It pulled a rating of 11.3. Roughly nine million people tuned in.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers John Herbert “Jackie” Gleason was born on February 26th, 1916, on Chauncey Street in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The younger of two children, his brother Clement died from meningitis at fourteen in 1919. Six years later his father left the family. Gleason's mother Mae got a job as a subway attendant for the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation. Jackie spent his youth hustling pool and performing in class plays. He quit high school and took a job to perform at local theaters, putting on acts with friends, and then emceed at the Folly Theater. When Jackie was nineteen in 1935 his mother died from complications of sepsis. He worked his way up to a job at Manhattan's Club 18. Jack Warner saw him, signing Gleason to a contract for two-hundred-fifty dollars per-week. Jackie married dancer Genevieve Halford on September 20th, 1936. The couple had two children: Geraldine, born in 1940, and Linda, born in 1942. Classified as 4-F and rejected for military service, by the summer of 1944 a twenty-eight year-old Gleason had appeared in films opposite Ann Sheridan, Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, and Betty Grable. He also became known for hosting all-night parties in his hotel suite. His hotel soundproofed his apartment out of consideration for its other guests. NBC, seeing something in the brash, outspoken Brooklynite, added him to Double Feature, co-starring Les Tremayne and Alfred Drake, Sunday nights at 10:30PM. Rebranded The Les Tremayne-Jackie Gleason Show, he debuted this episode on August 13th, 1944. Edgar Bergen was the special guest. This is that debut. The show would air until October 22nd.

Meet the Black Brooklynites who defined New York City's most populous borough through their search for social justice. Before it was a borough, Brooklyn was our nation's third largest city. Its free Black community attracted people from all walks of life--businesswomen, church leaders, laborers, and writers--who sought to grow their city in a radical anti-slavery vision. The residents of neighborhoods like DUMBO, Fort Greene, and Williamsburg organized and agitated for social justice. They did so even as their own freedom was threatened by systemic and structural racism, risking their safety for the sake of their city. Brooklynites: The Remarkable Story of the Free Black Communities that Shaped a Borough (NYU Press, 2024) recovers the lives of these remarkable citizens and considers their lasting impact on New York City's most populous borough. This cultural and social history is told through four ordinary families from Brooklyn's nineteenth-century free Black community: the Crogers, the Hodges, the Wilsons, and the Gloucesters. The book illustrates the depth and scope of their activism, cementing Brooklyn's place in the history of social justice movements. Their lives offer valuable lessons on freedom, democracy, and family--both the ones we're born with and the ones we choose. Their powerful stories continue to resonate today, as borough residents fill the streets in search of a more just city. This is a story of land, home, labor, of New Yorkers past, and the legacy they left us. This is the story of Brooklyn. Learn more about your ad choices.

Karen Gillan joins the show to talk about her new comedy film Late Bloomers, in theaters June 7 — as well as spooky Scottish stories, and the 10th anniversary of her film Oculus, directed by Mike Flanagan. Gillan went from Doctor Who fame to franchise movie star with roles in Guardians of the Galaxy, Jumanji, and Gunpowder Milkshake — as well as indie dramas All Creatures Here Below, and The Party's Just Beginning (which she wrote and directed). Now, with Late Bloomers, Gillan plays Louise, a 28-year-old Brooklynite adrift in life, who finds herself suddenly single and grappling with her identity as a musician. While she struggles with her underlying depression, a reckless drunken stumble lands her with a broken hip and leads to a stint in a physical therapy ward with patients twice her age. Here, she crosses paths with Antonina (played by Margaret Sophie Stein), a cantankerous elderly Polish woman who speaks no English. Reluctantly, Louise takes on the role of Antonina's caregiver, a situation neither of them welcomes. As they navigate their begrudging relationship, they confront the realities of aging, forcing Louise to consider her own journey into adulthood. _______________________________________________________________ Talking Strange Paranormal Podcast with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as learned experts in all things strange and unexplained.

A new book, called “Brooklynites: The Remarkable Story of the Free Black Communities that Shaped a Borough,” out in September, tells the story of Brooklyn's free Black population between 1790 and 1870, 80 years of unfathomable change in the borough and the country at large. The book, by Prithi Kanakamedala, is a cultural and social history, told through four extraordinary families from Brooklyn's 19th-century free Black community. Theirs are stories of activism, support, struggle, community, education and entrepreneurship. And their stories continue to resonate today, some 200 years later. This week we discuss the book, what it meant to be a free Black Brooklynite and how Kanakamedala uncovered their stories.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com Email: hello@bkmag.com Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine Twitter: @brooklynmag Instagram: @brooklynmagazine Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope

It is our pleasure to have Bex Rose, Poet and Mental Health Professional, as a guest on the Poetic Resurrection Podcast. She shared her poem called A Subconscious Mind, which talks about depression from her book Mental Health via Poetry. We had a fascinating conversation about the poem and her personal story of growing up in Brooklyn, New York writing poetry with Tourette's, then transitioning to become a mental health clinician. Tune into this touching and entertaining interview to learn more about Bex's inspiring journey. A Subconscious Mind What are these thoughts The if, and, why, What is this feeling I get As if I'm ripping apart from inside Why has my internal drive Become so weak Why am I too depressed to even open my eyes To even sit up and think Can't even make it to my own kitchen sink Not even thirsty for a drink It's lawless The pressure to be human Eat, think, sleep like a person, it's arduous It is not involving the effects of any one single event I wish my time could be better spent Society's pages depend on a therapy book So quick to not even take a real look So quick to hand us the bottle than to ask us how to spell out the name I'm not so easy to belittle with labels Each diagnosis on paper Can become quite easily a fable Remedied with quick-think drugs bought from any store and self-help label Not knowing there's also drugs on the corners underneath the table Waiting For us to crave more Why do we have to think and be challenged to want to search for more When we're left un-adored In majority, for the very same reason you referred us to get help in the first place I am not a charity case I will not just fall in line I will make use of this time As I tiptoe between the tattered line Between each tear-stained work of mine I speak For others whose medication has rendered them mute and subconscious How dare you try to band-aid depression as if it's a rouse I think rather that it's abuse To be this overlooked Well I stand here let-loose I will tell you with my rhymes The enforced societal standard behind each bind Left on the "mentally unequipped" Considered Drones of the unkind These vastly purged minds It's exhausting Left unchecked it could be an easy departing Why should I let that be the case too I am as much a human being as are you If I had a presumed fully capable mind and funds I guess I would sue But you'd stay there thoughtless Wondering how this mess started to involve you Feeling targeted you alone Truth oftentimes is that You don't even bother unless it happens to one of your own   Biography  Bex Rose is a born and raised Brooklynite and native New Yorker who is both openly gay and active in the social work community. As a Licensed Mental Health Professional (LMHC), Bex is a Program Director for a NYC based non-for-profit.

Episode 349: Ariel Azoff is the Executive Director of Tourism and Brand Partnerships at Atlas Obscura, a media and experiences company dedicated to sharing the world's hidden wonders. Ariel's work has spanned media, tourism, social enterprise, sustainable fashion, government, and international development. She joined Atlas Obscura in 2017 to head up the company's DMO campaigns, bringing her professional media experience and personal passion for travel and sustainability to the role. An assimilated Brooklynite, Ariel is also a certified NYC Sightseeing Guide and, in her spare time, designs and leads women's history tours of the city. On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Ariel Azoff about how off-the-beaten-track destinations have fueled the growth of Atlas Obscura into a global digital media company. We talk about identifying destinations that spark curiosity and wonder, and Ariel shares more about some of the out-of-the-ordinary collaborations with destinations they are enjoying right now. What You Will Learn in this Episode: How Ariel's diverse background in media, tourism, and sustainable fashion influenced her work at Atlas Obscura Why people are seeking out unique and off-the-beaten-path experiences right now and how COVID-19 has impacted this trend The collaboration between Atlas Obscura and Brand USA for the TV show “Small Town Big Story” How Atlas Obscura works with DMOs to create engaging and informative content about destinations How Atlas Obscura has evolved from a blog to a global digital media company providing not only experiences but online courses and print projects Creative Partnerships One example of Atlas Obscura's creative and collaborative partnerships is their collaboration with Missouri Tourism to write a feature article about the haunted Missouri State Penitentiary. This partnership perfectly shows off the adventurous spirit and unique storytelling approach of Atlas Obscura. By working closely with Missouri Tourism, Atlas Obscura was able to tap into the local expertise and deep knowledge of the destination, ensuring an authentic and compelling narrative. Together, they crafted an article that delves into the chilling history and paranormal legends surrounding the destination, providing readers with a glimpse into the eerie and mysterious side of the state. This collaboration not only highlights the significance of Atlas Obscura's dedication to showcasing offbeat destinations but also emphasizes their commitment to working hand-in-hand with destination experts to bring these hidden gems to light. By merging their expertise and resources, Atlas Obscura and Missouri Tourism were able to create a compelling feature that entices travelers to explore the haunted corridors of this historic penitentiary and experience the spine-tingling allure of Missouri's darker side. Evolving and Expanding the Offering Ariel shares how as Atlas Obscura's popularity grew, so did their ambition to expand their offerings. They recognized the need to provide more immersive and interactive experiences for their community of curious travelers and explorers. This led to the creation of unique experiences, such as visiting the iconic Times Square ball or having a firsthand encounter with wolves at a bar. These experiences allowed travelers to engage with their surroundings in unexpected and memorable ways, further capturing the spirit of discovery that Atlas Obscura is known for. Edu-tainment Integrating destination marketing into mainstream entertainment has numerous benefits for both destinations and the entertainment industry. By weaving travel experiences and unique destinations into television shows, movies, podcasts, or even fictional narratives, audiences are transported to these unusual locations and it not only sparks curiosity in viewers, but also offers destinations the opportunity to showcase their hidden gems to a wider audience. In turn, the entertainment industry gains access to a fresh and unique angle for their content.

Happy Wednesday wherever you're listening from! Ecstatic about these next two episodes, the first of which being my older sister Candace. Being the oldest out of all of us, she constantly dealt with being the litmus test for how the rest of us would be treated. A Brooklynite in the 90s and early 2000's, she moved to charlotte at the age of 14. She details the stark differences between the two, from the actual places to her specific living situations. Candace also cites a high school trip to Australia as her introduction to sustainable development. This led her to Appalachian state and eventually, heavily influenced her approach to cooking. The pandemic was painstakingly difficult for Mollison as it was for countless others, but she used the time to cook nearly everyday. She even began incorporating ingredients grown in her own garden. As some of her dishes began gaining traction on social media, Candace's confidence grew and rightfully so. She is currently entered in the Favorite chef amateur chef competition, run by Carla Hall! All voters can contribute one daily free vote, and more if they do feel. Polls close in a few days, so if you're a fan of anything Candace has ever made, make sure to vote! Recorded 7.18.23

East Forest is a multidisciplinary artist, known by some for his 5-hour album "Music for Mushrooms," designed to accompany a psychedelic journey. Other folks may know him from his album "Ram Dass," where he created beautiful soundscapes to accompany interviews he did with Ram Dass, in fact the last known interviews ever done with Ram Dass before he passed into the next realm. Some people know him from his podcast, Ten Laws with East Forest, an extraordinary interview podcast where he talks with the likes of Duncan Trussell, Aurbrey Marcus, Danica Patrick. He has found a unique way to combine music, meditation, technology, and the experience of deep listening as a doorway, as a pathway towards acknowledging our own human essence. Its fair to say his creations are not just musical compositions; they are gateways to spiritual encounters, designed to inspire introspection. In this episode, we dive deep into his thoughts around the creative process, and get into his early days as a musician, when he was an up and coming Brooklynite around the time of Occupy Wall Street. We speak about his success, and about how success can actually make the creative process much more difficult. We talk a little bit about generative AI and how it's coming for musicians, the ambient musicians in particular, and what can be done about it. We of course chat about his collaboration with Ram Das and how the track "Sit Around the Fire," a collaboration with Jon Hopkins, was created. I just love this dude and his commitment to simple honesty, to discipline, to ritual, to reverence, to creativity. He's good people and a great artist. One of my most enjoyable conversations in recent memory. Check out his recent single, The Cosmic Dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0CsBuoR-_U He's here at Esalen June 30th - July 3rd: Journey Space: Music, Movement & Ceremony - East Forest and Marisa Radha Weppner https://www.esalen.org/workshops/journey-space-music-movement-ceremony-063023

Hari Kondabolu is a very funny stand-up comic, an astute observer on race and racial politics, a writer and filmmaker, a Brooklynite and, most recently a dad. His latest special is out this week on YouTube. Filmed right here in Gowanus at the Bell House, “Vacation Baby” is some of his more personal work to date. In it, he discusses the surreal nature of having a baby in the middle of a global pandemic. Filmed days after Roe v Wade was overturned, though, he leaves nothing on the table in terms of his biting political wit.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com Email: hello@bkmag.com Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine Twitter: @brooklynmag Instagram: @brooklynmagazine Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope

We had the pleasure of interviewing Moon Boots over Zoom video!Talented keyboardist, DJ, and producer Moon Boots (Peter Dougherty) has revealed his third studio album ‘Ride Away'. The ten-track LP will land on March 17th on Anjunadeep.Written and produced over a nearly two-year period beginning in early 2021, ‘Ride Away' contains themes of love, companionship, and personal exploration. Hauling in a crate's worth of musical influences, Moon Boots has imbued ‘Ride Away' with his characteristic blend of soul, disco, and house music, whilst also introducing the sounds of synthpop, breakbeats, and psychedelica. Marrying these eclectic styles is part and parcel of Moon Boots' idiosyncratic sensibility, honed through years of living and DJing in Chicago, the birthplace of house music, and in the musical melting pot of Brooklyn.‘Ride Away' follows in the footsteps of Moon Boots's debut ‘First Landing' (2017) and sophomore album ‘Bimini Road' (2019). With an impressive catalogue atypical of the dance world, Dougherty's third album represents both his tenacity and evolution as a producer and songwriter. The writing process was met with many difficult but rewarding experiences; creative bursts were balanced with instances of anxiety and self-doubt, yet Dougherty found the music writing process invigorating and cites his wife's continual support and incoming firstborn daughter as encouraging him to move forward. Of course, more time in the studio allowed Dougherty to experiment with new creative processes (and mind-altering methods) over the course of the album's formation.Featuring a swathe of colourful vocalists including the likes of Cherry Glazerr, Dope Earth Alien, and Nic Hanson, ‘Ride Away' celebrates Dougherty's longstanding affinity for collaboration, fun effervescent songwriting, and dance-focused production. Other international artists on the album include French singer Praa and Norwegian band Ora The Molecule, whilst longtime collaborators Ross Clark (St. Lucia) and Steven Klavier feature as writers and instrumentalists on the record, rounding out a global ensemble of incredible talent.Having accrued well over 100 million streams on Spotify alone, and having been championed by the likes of Annie Mac, Diplo, Danny Howard, and The Blessed Madonna, Moon Boots has established himself as a trailblazer of R&B-infused dance music. Having released on legendary French house label French Express, and remixed the likes of Dua Lipa, Robyn, and Nile Rodgers.Following the release of his new single “Ride Away” featuring Steven Klavier, Moon Boots has announced a new run of live tour dates supporting his upcoming album Ride Away. These live shows represent the first tour since his 2019 Bimini Road international tour, which was regarded as unforgettable by fans of the Brooklynite musician. Though best known as a DJ and producer, Moon Boots is also a formidably talented keyboardist. Acting as music director and bandleader, Moon Boots rearranges and recontextualizes his catalog for an explosive live experience. These shows will be can't-miss events for fans and lovers of live electronic music. The shows will feature performances from Moon Boots along with band members Ross Clark and Dustin Kaufman (St. Lucia) and a number of guest vocalists from his eclectic crew of collaborators. Ride Away is due for release via Anjunadeep on March 17th, pre-order it here.5/10/2023 - Meow Wolf Denver - Denver, CO5/12/2023 - Lincoln Hall - Chicago, IL5/13/2023 - Racket - New York, New York5/19/2023 - Great American Music Hall - San Francisco, CA5/20/2023 - The Roxy Theatre - West Hollywood, CAWe want to hear from you!

Over 350 years ago today's Brooklyn neighborhood of Flatbush was an old Dutch village, the dirt path that would one day become Flatbush Avenue, lined with wheat fields and farms.Contrast that with today's Flatbush, a bustling urban destination diverse in both housing styles and commercial retail shops. It's also an anchor of Brooklyn's Caribbean community -- Little Caribbean.There have been many different Flatbushes -- rural, suburban and urban. In today's show we highlight several stories from these phases in this neighborhood's life.If you are a Brooklynite of a certain age, the first thing that might come to mind is maybe the Brooklyn Dodgers who once played baseball in Ebbets Field here. Or maybe you know of a famous person who was born or grew up there -- Barbra Streisand, Norman Mailer or Bernie Sanders. But the story of Flatbush reflects the many transformative changes of New York City itself. And it holds a special place in the identity of Brooklyn -- so much so that it is often considered the heart of Brooklyn.FEATURING STORIES OF Erasmus Hall, the Kings Theater, Lefferts Historic House, the Flatbush African Burial Ground and the Flatbush Dutch Reformed Church.PLUS We chat with Shelley Worrell of I Am CaribBEING about her work preserving and celebrating the neighborhood's Caribbean community.This episode is brought to you by the Historic Districts Council.  Funding for this episode is provided by public funds from the  New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and Council Member Benjamin Kallos.
