Podcasts about Cather

Tonight, we'll read “O Pioneers!”  a 1913 novel by American author Willa Cather. Set on the windswept prairies of Nebraska, “O Pioneers!” tells the story of Alexandra Bergson, a determined young woman of Swedish-American descent who takes over her family's farm.  Cather's quiet, poetic prose captures both the hardships and beauty of prairie life at the turn of the twentieth century, and Alexandra's journey reflects broader themes of endurance, transformation, and connection to the land. The novel marked the beginning of Cather's Great Plains Trilogy, which also includes The Song of the Lark and My Ántonia. Though she wrote this trilogy while living in New York City, Cather drew inspiration from her own upbringing in Nebraska and from the lives of immigrants who shaped the American Midwest. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

This week, we bring you two stories about the science of morality. Or morality in science. Either way you want to look at it. Part 1: Political scientist Ethan Hollander interviews a Nazi war criminal as part of his research. Part 2: As a graduate student, Cather Simpson is excited to present her work -- but then her adviser lies about it. Ethan J. Hollander is a professor of political science at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana. He is also the author of Hegemony and the Holocaust: State Power and Jewish Survival in Occupied Europe. Hollander's published scholarship also includes research on democratization in Eastern Europe and on the Arab Spring. At Wabash, Dr. Hollander teaches courses on the Politics of the Middle East, Ethnic Conflict and Genocide, European Politics, and Research Methods and Statistics. He is a native of Miami Beach, and received his Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego in 2006. When Cather Simpson graduated from high-school in the USA, she was certain she was going to become a neurosurgeon. She was very, very wrong. In her first year at uni, she discovered scientific research and got completely hooked. She is now a Professor of Physics and Chemical Sciences at the University of Auckland, where she started and directed a super-fun ultrafast laser lab called the Photon Factory. These days, she's morphed into an entrepreneurial academic. The first company she co-founded, Engender Technologies, uses lasers to sort sperm by sex for the dairy industry. The second, Orbis Diagnostics, uses lasers for infectious disease testing at point-of-care – she is currently CEO there. The latest, Luminoma DX, uses light to screen more effectively for skin cancers. When she's not enjoying the pleasure and satisfaction from using lasers to solve the knotty problems presented by Mother Nature, she's doing 5000 piece puzzles and being “Schrodinger's Mom” – simultaneously the world's best and worst mother – to two lovely sons.

Willa Cather - "Oh Pioneers!" is a novel, first published in 1913. The story is set in the fictional town of Hanover, Nebraska, at the turn of the 20th century, and follows the life of Alexandra Bergson, the daughter of Swedish immigrants.

Truman Capote bezeichnete Willa Cathers Romane über den wilden Westen einmal als «vollkommene Kunstwerke». Ihre Geschichten handeln immer vom amerikanischen Traum; dem Traum der Siedler und insbesondere ihrer Frauen. Vor 150 Jahren kam Willa Cather zur Welt. Willa Cather stellt ungewöhnliche und heroische Frauenfiguren ins Zentrum. Ihre Heldinnen zieht es nicht in die großen Städte, sondern in die weite Prärie. In rauen Gefilden, am Rande der Zivilisation müssen sie sich bewähren und ihr Glück finden, was nicht oft gelingt. Nebenbei kritisiert Cather den Materialismus ihrer Zeit und vermag obskure finanzielle Transaktionen zu schildern, als trügen sie sich heute zu. Willa Cather, Pulitzer-Preisträgerin von 1923, wird durch Neuauflagen ihrer Werke neu entdeckt: als amerikanische Klassikerin und Chronistin der nordamerikanischen Pioniergeschichte.

Willa Cather's novel, My Ántonia, evokes the Nebraska prairie life of her childhood and pays tribute to the spirit and courage of immigrant pioneers in America. Historian Richard Norton Smith discusses Cather's works, including My Antonia, which was written in 1918. The book tells the story of a girl who arrives on the frontier as part of a family of Bohemian immigrants, and her friendship with an orphaned boy who taught her English. The novel explores issues facing women of the time in that region, and the meaning of success in America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Willa Cather was a good daughter of Red Cloud, Nebraska -- and she also happened to be one of the best writers of any generation -- and yet, she hid many truths of her personal life from public consumption. Why did Cather hide? What did she lose in her secrecy? What did her strict privacy win her? 

Cather, and her persona Jim Burden in My Antonia, were perhaps a bit too mystic about ground cherries, but it sort of makes sense. Cather in her Nebraska novels is a deeply Romantic author, with a certain twist: she embraces sensual experiences, often as triggers to mystic insights. So Jim lies down in the garden, picks and munches a few ground cherries, and proceeds to become one with nature.

Since it's the 150th Anniversary of Nebraska writer Willa Cather's birth, the guest on this week's program is Rachel Olsen Director of Education and Outreach at the Cather Center. She'll talk about their upcoming Spring conference which will spotlight both Cather's story “A Lost Lady” and her essay "Nebraska: The End of the First Cycle."

We talk about a bunch of books and biblioadventures in Episode 180. What's new, right? #wink Some highlights include books we just read, which took us from a memoir about caring for animals (THE OTHER FAMILY DOCTOR by Karen Fine) to an idiomatic fowl in search of freedom (CHASE OF THE WILD GOOSE by Mary Gordon) and from an island in the Atlantic (SUMMER STAGE by Meg Mitchell Moore) to a road trip around America (TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY by John Steinbeck). Speaking of travel, we had a two-day joint jaunt to Manhattan, where we went our separate ways during daylight hours – Emily volunteered at the CHERRY BOMBE JUBILEE and Chris worked at the STAVROS NIARCHOS FOUNDATION LIBRARY. Closer to home, Emily went to see THE QUIET GIRL at the Madison Cinemas and Chris did some archival research at The Beinecke. Some fun biblioadventures are coming up–like Emily moderating two author events at the Newburyport Literary Festival this weekend: Fur, Feathers, and Scales: A Lifetime of Caring for Pets with author Karen Fine and Shaped by Loss: How Tragedy Changed the Lives of Emerson, Thoreau, and William James with author Megan Marshall. Chris is planning to attend a virtual event with author Benjamin Taylor who will be discussing Cather's MY ANTONIA on Thursday at 7pm CT via the National Willa Cather Center. Reminder: the show notes for each episode lists all of the books and events we mention. Happy Listening, and then, Happy Reading!

O podcast! O books! O episodes about hard-scrabble immigrants eking out an existence on tough Nebraska land. Cather's work - rich in memorable prose and compelling characters - could stand to be better known, but it still has blind spots common in American frontier fiction.

In episode 39 of Derms and Conditions, our host James Q. Del Rosso, DO sits down with Jennifer Cather, MD, a dermatologist and Medical Director at Mindful Dermatology and Modern Research Associates in Dallas, Texas, and a good friend of Dr. Del Rosso. Dr. Cather is an expert in psoriasis as she is currently managing over 1,700 patients on systemic therapy. She and Dr. Del Rosso discuss the exciting new Mind.Px test, a dermal biomarker patch developed by Mindera Health that can noninvasively obtain a sample of a patient's transcriptome to help determine which biologic they will optimally respond to. Dr. Cather describes how Mind.Px can limit trial-and-error through a targeted approach. Many patients lose faith in psoriasis medications after multiple treatment failures, so data from this test can uncover which drug class, either TNF-inhibitors, IL-17 inhibitors, or IL-23 inhibitors, will work best for them. Precision medicine is a hot new topic with a lot of new information to navigate, so tune in to this episode to learn Dr. Cather's tips on using the Mind.Px test to improve your psoriasis patients' outcomes!

100 years ago, Willa Cather wrote the novel “One of Ours” which won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. This week “All About Books” welcomes Cather scholar Becky Faber to discuss the significance of the novel in its era and how modern readers might relate to it today.

Willa Cather's most famous novel was published only two months before the Armistice ended the bloodshed of the Great War, and in its powerfully imagistic portrait of Midwestern homesteading, it offered readers an emotional connection to the nation's founding myth of pioneer fortitude. Yet My Ántonia wasn't just a story about pilgrims' progress across the prairies: it was a story of immigrants struggling to realize the American Dream that appeared in an era of extreme xenophobia that will feel painfully resonant to contemporary readers. In telling the story of the resilient Ántonia Shimerda and other "hired girls" from Bohemia (the modern-day Czech Republic) and other Eastern European states, Cather paid tribute to real-life migrants she had grown up with in Red Cloud, Nebraska, a small but artistically vibrant train depot that today does a thriving business in Cather tourism. In addition to Cather's powerful style and her warm memories of farming struggles, we focus on the friendship between Ántonia and the orphaned narrator, Jim Burden. At the end of the day, My Ántonia is possibly the greatest story about a platonic friendship between a woman and a man in American literature.    

What would Willa Cather's widely read and cherished novels have looked like if she had never met magazine editor and copywriter Edith Lewis? In this groundbreaking book on Cather's relationship with her life partner, author Melissa J. Homestead counters the established portrayal of Cather as a solitary genius and reassesses the role that Lewis, who has so far been rendered largely invisible by scholars, played in shaping Cather's work. Inviting Lewis to share the spotlight alongside this pivotal American writer, Homestead argues that Lewis was not just Cather's companion but also her close literary collaborator and editor.Drawing on an array of previously unpublished sources, Homestead skillfully reconstructs Cather and Lewis's life together, from their time in New York City to their travels in the American Southwest that formed the basis of the novels The Professor's House and Death Comes for the Archbishop.  After Cather's death and in the midst of the Cold War panic over homosexuality, the story of her life with Edith Lewis could not be told, but by telling it now, Homestead offers a refreshing take on lesbian life in early twentieth-century America.HOST:  Rob MellonFEATURED BREW:  Transcendental Cloudscape, Boiler Brewing Company, Lincoln, NebraskaBOOK:  The Only Wonderful Things: The Creative Partnership of Willa Cather & Edith Lewishttps://www.amazon.com/Only-Wonderful-Things-Creative-Partnership/dp/019065287X/ref=sr_1_6?crid=XANO588EXJF1&keywords=willa+cather+homestead&qid=1654314701&sprefix=willa+cather+homestead%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-6MUSIC:  Bones Forkhttps://bonesfork.com/

When Cather was nine years old, her family moved to rural Webster County, Nebraska. After a year and a half, the family resettled in the county seat of Red Cloud, where Cather lived until beginning her college studies at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln in 1890.After her graduation in 1895, Cather worked as a journalist and teacher, living first in Pittsburgh and later in New York City. Her first volume of poetry, April Twilights, was published by a vanity press in 1903, and in 1912 she was able to leave editorial work and live as a full-time writer and poet. Over the next several decades, Cather wrote prolifically; her works include Alexander's Bridge (1912), O Pioneers! (1913), My Ántonia (1918), and A Lost Lady (1923), all of which explored the pioneering experience on the Plains. In 1923, One of Ours (1922) received the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Her other well-regarded works include The Professor's House (1925), My Mortal Enemy (1926), Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927), Shadows on the Rock (1931), Lucy Gayheart (1935), and Sapphira and the Slave Girl (1940).As one of the greatest American novelists of the 20th century, Willa Cather was gifted in conveying an intimate understanding of her characters in relation to their personal and cultural environments—environments that often derived from Red Cloud. Cather died from a cerebral hemorrhage on April 24, 1947 and was buried in the Old Burying Ground in Jaffrey Center, New Hampshire. Engraved on her tombstone is this quotation from My Ántonia: “that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great.” Complex and brilliant, Willa Cather lives on through her many devoted readers. Willa Cather is the author of 12 novels, 6 collections of short fiction, 2 editions of her book of poetry, April Twilights, and numerous works of nonfiction, collected journalism, speeches, and lettersFrom https://www.willacather.org/about-willa-cather. For more information about Willa Cather:The Song of the Lark: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/299686/the-song-of-the-lark-by-willa-cather-and-melissa-homestead/“The Willa Cather Archive”: https://cather.unl.edu“A Walk in Willa Cather's Prairie”: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/10/02/a-walk-in-willa-cathers-prairie

A tribute to the strength of the human spirit during a bitter winter in the American west. Written in 1918 My Antonia is one of Willa Cather's first novels.

This week Zach and Sloane unwrap 1999's erotic (?) May-December spy caper classic: Entrapment. The duo got a little loose on melatonin and THC gummies and accidentally forgot they were recording so things go off the rails more than usual. Topics veer wildly from the Planet Fitness "lunk alarm" to the horrors of soggy tortilla chips in a public pool. There's a little Entrapment talk during the pod but mainly it's just nonsense. Oh, and if anyone steal's Sloane's idea for a movie called Spy Ball she'll know you listened to this and she will present this podcast as evidence in a court of law. Enjoy! Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mummydearestpodcast)
