Courtney Lund O'Neil joins the show today to talk about her new book: Postmortem: What Survives the John Wayne Gacy Murders.Growing up, Courtney knew her mother was involved in something traumatic as a teenager. As it turns out, she (Dr. Kim Byers) was the last person to see John Wayne Gacy's final victim alive. This had a major impact on Dr. Lund as she matured and played a huge role in her approach to being a mother.Years ago, Courtney decided that she wanted to advocate for the stories of those impacted by the monsters that are the focus of most true crime stories. That driving force led her to write Postmortem: What Survives the John Wayne Gacy Murders, a beautiful plunge into the pain, trauma, and healing of her mother and others in the wake of John Wayne Gacy's killing spree. Find Postmortem: What Survives the John Wayne Gacy Murders here!To learn more about Courtney, visit her website.Courtney Lund O'Neil is a California-based writer with a focus in memoir, literary journalism, and true crime.

Meet William James Sydis, the “smartest man who lived.” Sydis' IQ score is estimated by some, to be somewhere between 50 and 100 points greater than that of Albert Einstein. By the time he was just 18 months old, Sydis was able to read The New York Times. At age 2, he taught himself Latin, and by age 6, he was fluent in eight languages, including Greek, French, Russian, German, and Hebrew. Sidis is not a household name, but he was an extraordinary individual whose brilliance often went unnoticed. Let's explore the life of one of the most enigmatic and misunderstood prodigies of the 20th century, along with Albert Einstein, and the history of IQ testing.

In the final episode of the Torn Apart podcast, Dorothy Roberts makes the case for the abolition of the child welfare system and lays out a vision for the more just and equitable society that could replace it. Roberts discusses why abolition, and not reform, is the necessary path forward. In conversation with Professor Anna Arons of St. John's University, Roberts uses how New York City is a case study for what could happen if family policing ends. During the pandemic, New York City limited its child protection agency. This resulted in an over 40% decrease in the number of children sent into foster care, and data found that rates of child abuse did not rise. Abolition of the child welfare system will help us build a safer world. Meet Dorothy RobertsDorothy Roberts is a distinguished professor at the University of Pennsylvania and Founding Director of its Program on Race, Science & Society.  An internationally acclaimed scholar, public intellectual, and social justice activist, she is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, American Philosophical Society, and National Academy of Medicine.  She is the author of the award-winning Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty ; Shattered Bonds: The Color of Child Welfare; and Fatal Invention: How Science, Politics, and Big Business Re-create Race in the Twenty-First Century , as well as more than 100 articles and book chapters, including “Race” in the 1619 Project. Her latest book, Torn Apart: How the Child Welfare System Destroys Black Families—And How Abolition Can Build a Safer World , culminates more than two decades of investigating family policing, calling for a radically reimagined way to support children and families.  With Guests- Joyce McMillan is the founder and Executive Director of Just Making A Change For Families, an organization in New York City that works to abolish the child welfare system and to strengthen the systems of supports that keep families and communities together. Joyce's mission is to remove systemic barriers in communities of color by bringing awareness to the racial disparities in systems where people of color are disproportionately affected. Her ultimate goal is to abolish systems of harm–especially the family policing system (or the so-called “child welfare system”)–while creating concrete community resources. Joyce leads a statewide coalition of impacted parents and young people, advocates, attorneys, social workers, and academics collaborating to effect systemic change in the family policing system. Joyce also currently serves on the board of the Women's Prison Association.- Anna Arons is an Assistant Professor of Law at St. John's University. She teaches evidence, criminal law, and courses related to family law. Arons writes about the government's regulation and policing of families and the intersection of parental rights and identity along dimensions including race, poverty, and gender. Her scholarship has appeared in publications including the Washington University Law Review, the N.Y.U. Review of Law and Social Change, and the Columbia Journal of Race and Law and has been cited in publications including MSNBC, the New York Times, Pro Publica, USA Today, and the Washington Post.

 The Occasion: In October 2021, something wonderful and astonishing happened: three authors published by small but mighty Windsor-based Palimpsest Press were nominated for the 2021 Governor General's Literary Awards: Sadiqa de Meijer for non-fiction, G.A. Grisenthwaite for fiction, and Tolu Oloruntoba for poetry. In November, Sadiqa de Meijer and Tolu Oloruntoba were indeed announced as two of this year's seven English language Governor General's Literary Award winners. Today we're speaking with Palimpsest Press publisher and past guest Aimee Parent Dunn, along with GGLA winning poet, Tolu Oloruntoba. About Tolu: Tolu Oloruntoba was born in Nigeria, and practiced medicine before his current work managing virtual health projects for BC health organizations. His poetry has appeared in Harvard Divinity Bulletin, PRISM International, Pleiades, Columbia Journal, Obsidian, The Maynard, Humber Literary Review, and elsewhere, and has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. His short fiction has appeared in translation in Dansk PEN Magazine. He founded Klorofyl, a magazine of literary and graphic art. His debut chapbook, Manubrium, was published by Anstruther Press, and was shortlisted for the 2020 bpNichol Chapbook Award, while his debut full-length poetry collection, The Junta of Happenstance, published by Palimpsest Press in Spring 2021, recently won the Governor General's Literary Award for Poetry. He lives in Surrey, BC with his family. About Aimee:  Aimee Parent Dunn is from Essex County and received her BA in English at the University of Windsor. In 2012, she became a publishing assistant at Palimpsest Press, which had been founded by Dawn Kresan in 2000. Just over a year later, with the support of her husband Shaun Dunn, she bought the press and became its publisher, with Dawn remaining as a poetry editor and designer. Palimpsest Press is a small independent publishing house that publishes beautifully designed books of poetry, fiction, and literary non-fiction. A palimpsest, by the way, is a piece of writing material manuscript on which the original writing has been effaced to make room for other writing. https://palimpsestpress.ca/

To be woke and to cancel involve a heightened awareness of social injustice and the calling out of offending institutions or powerful people — like the Me Too movement which brought down Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. Largely attributed to today’s youth who are less afraid to challenge institutionalised norms, they level the playing field when it comes to justice. But they can also lead to polarisation. In this debut episode, host and Institute of Policy Studies Deputy Director Ong Soh Chin chats with Lydia Lim, head of Schools and Education Projects at Singapore Press Holdings, and poet and writer Theophilus Kwek about the complexities of this new form of activism, whether being woke is exclusively for the young and how to take it to a better place for Singapore.

She is a co-author of two books, Lee Kuan Yew: Hard Truths to Keep Singapore Going and Struck by Lightning: Singapore Voices post-1965, and editor of Vintage Lee, a collection of 33 landmark speeches by Singapore’s founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.

Why is it so hard – and getting harder – to get an abortion in the U.S. today?   Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Professor David Cohen, of Drexel University’s Kline School of law, to discuss accessibility of abortion. David’s new co-authored book on the topic, Obstacle Course: The Everyday Struggle to Get an Abortion in America, tells the story of abortion in our country and captures a disturbing reality of insurmountable barriers people face when trying to exercise their legal rights to medical services.   Despite the controversy surrounding this issue, it is a constitutional right that women have access to abortion. Yet getting an abortion can be a monumental challenge in many places throughout the United States, forcing some to risk their lives and livelihoods in the process. Aaron and David dive into these obstacles and their implications, discussing restrictions, fake clinics, health care coverage, protestors and more. David explains his approach to the book and reasons for working on it while talking about state legislation, upcoming Supreme Court cases, and how the law tries to interfere with women’s rights and autonomy.   A graduate of Columbia Law, Professor Cohen’s scholarship explores the intersection of constitutional law and gender, emphasizing how the law impacts abortion provision, including violence against abortion providers, as well as sex segregation and masculinity. In addition to his most recent book, David is also the co-author of Living in the Crosshairs: The Untold Stories of Anti-Abortion Terrorism.

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Robert Glicksman, a Professor at the George Washington University Law School, and Alejandro Camacho, a Professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Law, to discuss governmental policy, authority and the dimensions of government, as well as their co-authored book on these subjects, Reorganizing Government: A Functional and Dimensional Framework.   In today’s episode, Aaron, Rob, and Alex talk about how the government works… and moreover, how it doesn’t. What are the ways in which the government works well? And, what are the areas that need improvement? Today’s conversation focuses on how the government could work more effectively and more efficiently. Rob, Alex, and Aaron talk about the structures of government, the day to day tasks, the complexities that need to be considered when discussing reorganization, and more. Throughout, the three talk about regulations, the power of administrative agencies, policy making, the branches of government, as well as the ideas of centralization and decentralization. How should we allocate power to the various agencies in the government? What are the different components of authority? And what are the roles of these agencies?   Alex and Rob assert that regulation is frequently less successful than it could be, arguing that there are often misunderstandings due to the allocation of authority to regulatory institutions and the relationships between them. “Reorganizing Government” explains how past approaches have failed to appreciate the full diversity of alternative approaches to organizing governmental authority. In the book, Rob and Alex illustrate the often neglected dimensional and functional aspects of inter-jurisdictional relations through in-depth explorations of several diverse case studies involving securities and banking regulation, food safety, pollution control, resource conservation, and terrorism prevention. In today’s conversation, Aaron asks Alex and Rob to discuss and expand on these ideas and more.   Robert Glicksman is a nationally and internationally recognized expert on environmental, natural resources and administrative law issues. A graduate of the Cornell Law School, his areas of expertise include environmental, natural resources, administrative, and property law. Before joining the GW law school faculty in 2009, Professor Glicksman taught at the University of Kansas School of Law where he was the Robert W. Wagstaff Distinguished Professor of Law. Professor Glicksman has practiced with law firms in D.C. and New Jersey, focusing on environmental, energy, and administrative law. He has consulted on various environmental and natural resources law issues, including work for the Secretariat of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation in Montreal, Canada. Professor Glicksman has been a member scholar for the Center for Progressive Reform since 2002 and a member of the Center’s Board of Directors since 2008.   Professor Camacho has a joint appointment at UC Irvine in both Law and Political Science. His scholarship explores the goals, structures, and processes of regulation, with a particular focus on natural resources and public lands law, pollution control law, and land use regulation. His writing considers the role of public participation and scientific expertise in regulation, the allocation of authority and relationships between regulatory institutions, and how the design and goals of legal institutions must and can be reshaped to more effectively account for emerging technologies and the dynamic character of natural and human systems. Professor Camacho’s legal scholarship includes articles published or forthcoming in the Yale Journal on Regulation, Washington University Law Review, Vanderbilt Law Review, UCLA Law Review, Stanford Environmental Law Journal, North Carolina Law Review, Harvard Journal on Legislation, Emory Law Journal, Colorado Law, Review, Columbia Journal of Environmental Law, and BYU Law Review.       To learn more about Professor Glicksman, please visit his bio page here.  To learn more about Professor Camacho, please visit his bio page here.
