Send us a textHere's a conversation with a broadcast veteran who's spent nearly 30 years in large-market media—hosting radio, interviewing icons like Eminem, Mike Tyson, Jim Brown, and Kendrick Lamar, and now operating on the executive side with a global music brand. He helped pioneer the shift from traditional radio to YouTube, building on-air personalities into on-screen creators and translating audience habits into sustainable digital growth.We dig into the strategy behind platform transitions: how to repurpose radio segments for video, design thumbnails and titles that convert, and build a content pipeline that keeps creators consistent without burning out. Expect real talk on partnerships, rights, monetization, and measuring what matters across broadcast, YouTube, and socials.His community work runs just as deep. Through Monrovia's public access network KGEM-TV, he developed civic programming—City Council and School Board recaps, How to Run for Office, Digital Dialogues—and produced events like House Party at the Park to bring neighbors together. He's launching commUNITY reIMAGINED and hopes to expand DREAM CHASERS career day in the SGV, connecting students with creative-industry pros.Recognition followed: a national honor from the Alliance for Community Media (Jewell Ryan White award for cultural diversity) and a role as city delegate in bringing the All-America City award home to Monrovia.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA battlefield victory does not guarantee control of the story. We trace how the Confederacy lost the war but captured American memory through textbooks, monuments, and movies, turning slavery into “states' rights,” treason into tragic romance, and Robert E. Lee into a spotless icon. Using the secession documents themselves, we dismantle the core claims of the Lost Cause and show how Reconstruction briefly expanded freedom before a campaign of terror shut it down.We walk through the quiet mechanics of narrative power: Northern leaders prioritized reconciliation over enforcement, Southern school boards formed an effective textbook cartel, and publishers chased the larger market with softened editions. Civic groups and Hollywood sealed the myth, from donated schoolbooks and bronze statues to Birth of a Nation and Gone with the Wind. The result wasn't just bad history—it was policy permission for Jim Crow, a blank space where Black history should have been taught, and a culture that treated armed defiance of federal law as debatable theater.There's a way forward. We point to the three forces that finally cracked the legend—the civil rights movement, an academic insurgency led by historians like James McPherson, Eric Foner, and Gary Gallagher, and mass media that centered slavery rather than sidestepping it. Then we offer concrete steps: read primary sources such as secession ordinances and Alexander Stephens's cornerstone speech, audit local curricula for evidence-based accounts, and update monument plaques to tell the whole truth. If unused power is surrendered power, then the antidote is active, public truth-telling. Key Points from the Episode:• the secession documents centering slavery, not abstract states' rights• early Confederate advantages versus strategic failure myths• Robert E. Lee's record and theology of bondage• Reconstruction's gains and the terror that ended it• textbook markets, UDC influence, and Hollywood's role• measurable harms: Jim Crow, lynching, erased Black history• the three breaks: civil rights, academic insurgency, mass media• practical steps: read primary sources, audit curricula, update plaquesOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Honda has issued a massive recall impacting hundreds of thousands of Civic models and the root cause is, you guessed it, a mixup with a fence in Italy.The automaker warned that 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels that were sold as accessories could detach from the vehicle due to a manufacturing error. As the company points out, having the wheels fly off your car can result in “a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.”

The newly inaugurated Uachtaráin na hÉireann could be making a visit to Clare very soon. It comes as plans to host a civic reception for President Catherine Connolly have already been set in motion. Catherine Connolly has officially received her seal of office this lunchtime and is now forever more in the history books as the tenth President of Ireland and the third female to hold the position. At her inauguration ceremony at Dublin Castle, President Connolly read the Declaration As Gaeilge, after prayers and reflections were offered by 11 groups, including the Catholic Church, Church of Ireland, Presbyterians and both the Jewish and Islamic communities. Speaking at the event, Connolly says she will be a President for all. Closer to home, Clare County Council has formally congratulated the newest permanent resident of Áras An Uachtaráin and will send an official letter in due course, but one elected representative is wishing to go a step further. Clarecastle Sinn Féin Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle has written to the council requesting the county's highest honour, a civic reception be bestowed on Catherine Connolly. He believes it's fitting given her links to Clare.

The show starts with the 2025 Lucid Air Sedans, which Benjamin thoroughly reviews. This EV sedan from a well-funded startup, promises lots of performance and range, but Benjamin has some thoughts to share about all that. And he wonders, why do we have to keep changing the way we turn cars on and off? Then Sami takes on the 2025 Acura ADX, a much needed subcompact crossover in the Japanese automakers lineup. Based around the Integra, Civic and (ugh) HR-V, the ADX features a punchy 1.5-turbo which may be able to help us gloss over the car's CVT. Sami has plenty of positives and negatives to discuss with the ADX, so be sure to listen to the whole segment to learn everything you need to know about this new crossover.

Just over three months into his new role as leader of Braver Angels, we hear from CEO Maury Giles about his hopes, plans and goals for America's largest volunteer-led movement working to bridge partisan divides and disagree better for the common good.America has lost much of its civic muscle, and it's time to get it back, Maury tells our host, Richard Davies. Rising polarization, declining trust in public institutions and the media, the spread of misinformation, the longest-ever government shutdown, and recent political violence are all signs that something is deeply wrong with our public square."We're trying to help people understand first and foremost that the choice you have to make is that of personal agency: To say am I going to act or react?,” Maury says."In this country we all have the ability to express a point of view and to try to work to solve things, and we don't have to rely on our elected officials to do that. But we've lost sight of our civic muscle.”Maury Giles came to Braver Angels after a career in journalism, politics, market research, communications strategy, experience design, and business development. Richard asked him about the challenges and opportunities he faces as a bridge builder at a difficult time.We hear about the case for citizen-led solutions, and why the true remedy to our civic challenges isn't reaction, but action, with neighbors working with their neighbors across divisions and mistrust. Over the past sixteen months, “How Do We Fix It?” has published more than twenty episodes about the people, projects and ideas of Braver Angels. Find them at our website.

In this episode, we will discuss the duties that Americans owe—and perhaps over time have ceased to owe—the state. Once central to the American constitutional tradition, civic duties like shoveling snow, repairing roads and fighting overseas have faded from our conception of communal obligations. Yet as society evolves, so too do civic duties. To correct the narrative that civic duties are a fixed part of our historical tradition, Daniel Rice, an Assistant Professor of Law at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, joins us to unpack his article, Civic Duties and Cultural Change.

Ryan Short — author of the new book The Civic Brand, and founder of place-branding firm Civic Brand — joins the show this week for a discussion on how cities can more meaningfully define their brand. The term has been used and overused in almost every industry imaginable, and yet, Ryan argues the importance of the idea at its root. Particularly, for places.Through this, we spend time on the lifecycle of a cliché, and how cities of various sizes can and should) go about avoiding becoming one.The new book zooms in, and surveys places that have done the work around brand intentionally, across the states.

A crowded kindergarten room, a sudden crack in the ceiling, and a teacher who jumps first to shield her students—Laura Terech's story starts with instinct and turns into impact. From art history to Title I classrooms, from a six‑year health battle to the Arizona State House, we explore how a winding path can still lead straight to the heart of public service.We dig into the moment Arizona cut full‑day kindergarten funding and why early learning time isn't “just babysitting” but the bedrock of literacy, social growth, and long‑term success. Laura walks us through the call that went unanswered, the decision to take the fight to the Capitol, and the long road back from illness that began with one small act: showing up to volunteer. That habit—care deeply, raise your hand often—opened doors to campaign work, nonprofit policy tracking, and ultimately a seat in a purple district where cooperation wasn't a slogan but a mandate. You'll hear how a teacher caucus prepared seven and a half hours for a 30‑minute debate, how bipartisan trust helped pass major policy on water and elections, and how the simple phrase “I hear your passion” can cool a midnight negotiation.Now, as executive director of Arizona America 250, Laura brings that educator's mindset to a statewide celebration of the nation's semi‑quincentennial. We highlight a student town hall with all three branches of government, a traveling museum that will tour the Replica Liberty Bell through all 15 counties, and a pathway to the Seal of Civic Literacy for students. Plus, discover Passport 250—a partnership with the Arizona Office of Tourism featuring 250 sites across the state—and the powerful moment a 17‑year‑old's winning logo design headed to the Smithsonian. Along the way, we talk about patriotism as something personal: how you show up for neighbors, define community broadly, and make room for everyone in the story.If you believe small steps can spark big change, press play—and then tell a friend.

In the wake of Disco Demolition Night in 1979—a cultural bonfire that seemed to signal the end of disco—something unexpected began to rise from Chicago's underground. This episode traces the story of Frankie Knuckles, the Bronx-born DJ who became known as the “Godfather of House.” After the backlash against disco pushed the genre out of the mainstream, Knuckles found refuge in Chicago's Black, Latinx, and queer nightlife scenes, most famously at a club called the Warehouse. There, he pioneered a new sound: blending disco's heartbeat with gospel, soul, electronic drum machines, and experimental edits. What emerged was “house music,” named after the Warehouse itself, a genre that spoke directly to marginalized communities while later exploding into a global phenomenon. We'll explore how Knuckles's artistry and innovation not only kept dance floors alive after disco's so-called death but also transformed music history. By tracing the arc from the ruins of Disco Demolition to the rise of house, this episode reveals how moments of cultural rejection can spark radical creativity. Frankie Knuckles didn't just keep the party going—he built a new world of sound that would change the way the world dances.

In the wake of Disco Demolition Night in 1979—a cultural bonfire that seemed to signal the end of disco—something unexpected began to rise from Chicago's underground. This episode traces the story of Frankie Knuckles, the Bronx-born DJ who became known as the “Godfather of House.” After the backlash against disco pushed the genre out of the mainstream, Knuckles found refuge in Chicago's Black, Latinx, and queer nightlife scenes, most famously at a club called the Warehouse. There, he pioneered a new sound: blending disco's heartbeat with gospel, soul, electronic drum machines, and experimental edits. What emerged was “house music,” named after the Warehouse itself, a genre that spoke directly to marginalized communities while later exploding into a global phenomenon. We'll explore how Knuckles's artistry and innovation not only kept dance floors alive after disco's so-called death but also transformed music history. By tracing the arc from the ruins of Disco Demolition to the rise of house, this episode reveals how moments of cultural rejection can spark radical creativity. Frankie Knuckles didn't just keep the party going—he built a new world of sound that would change the way the world dances.

Over the last 40 years, Brazil has lost an area larger than California to deforestation — and 90 percent of the clear-cutting has been illegal, all part of a multi-billion-dollar global environmental crime economy. Civic entrepreneur Ilona Szabó de Carvalho sees this crisis as an opportunity. Revealing how Brazil is pioneering an economic model actually profiting from protecting nature, she shares the ambitious restoration goals and innovations in forest mapping that are turning the country into a "nature superpower." Get a glimpse of what an economy rooted in regeneration, not extraction, could look like. After the talk, Modupe reflects on her experience traveling through Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya and how you can change public opinion and treat the natural world better.Interested in learning more about upcoming TED events?

Civic education is full of nostalgia. Horace Mann, John Dewey, and the Cold War era often come up in conversations about the current state of affairs. Judge Marjorie Rendell knows this well because she grew up in the postwar era and understand how different today's civic education is from what she received as a young student. She saw it firsthand when she visited classrooms across Pennsylvania during her eight years as the state's First Lady and decided to do something about it when she left the role.Today, the Rendell Center for Civics and Civic Engagement conducts mock trials, read-alouds, and other activities designed to transform civic education from something dry and boring into something exciting for elementary and middle school students. The center also has an eye to the future and are exploring how graphic novels and AI can help their work moving forward. Rendell joins us to talk about the center's work and her current role as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. We discuss what it's like to be a federal judge in the current political climate ,and the role that judges and lawyers can play in helping students learn about the Constitution.The Rendell Center for Civics and Civic Engagement received the McCourtney Institute for Democracy's 2025 Brown Democracy Medal.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
