We wrap up Season 10 with returning guest host Anuradha Rana (Associate Professor, School of Cinematic Arts, DePaul University) as we review Daniel Lombroso's White Noise, a profile of some of the current leading figures among the alt-right. This leads to a discussion of the dangers of turning one's lens on problematic ideologues, given how the camera may amplify their message even as it deconstructs and criticizes it. From there, Bart and Chris interview the great Errol Morris, whose American Dharma offers a portrait of right-wing activist Steve Bannon. We've wanted to have Morris on an episode since we started, given how we named our podcast partly in homage to his The Fog of War. Though occasionally contentious, as Chris questions Morris on his approach to Bannon, our conversation proves fascinating and respectful. What a great way to end the season! Listen in and enjoy.

That film looks at Carter's love of music and how it helped shape both his insurgent 1976 campaign and his time in the White House, revealing the compassionate humanitarian in all his glory. Then, Bart and Chris interview the great Barbara Kopple about her Desert One, which analyzes what went wrong with Carter's attempted rescue of the American hostages held in Iran following its 1979 revolution.

Money makes the world go round, does it not? Let the capital flow, so its profits may trickle down in a wellspring of bounty for all … except that the greater the flow, the faster it trickles up, away from the masses and into the hands of a rarefied, entitled elite that never seems to stop wanting more. In this week’s episode, Women Make Movies’ Executive Director Debra Zimmerman joins us for a discussion of the new Netflix series Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich, which follows the rapacious, billionaire pedophile’s life and career while giving voice to the women he abused. Then, Bart and Chris interview director Justin Pemberton about his recent Capital in the Twenty-First Century, a rousing, enraging examination of how the world is rapidly heading away from the equalizing tendencies of the 20th century’s middle period.

The series is divided into three sections – ““The Evidence,” “The Witness” and “The Prosecution” – each of which is comprised of three episodes, some of which are linked narratively, as well as thematically, and some of which stand alone. Dowland’s film tells the story of Kenneth Wyniemko, a Michigan man who served 9 years in jail for a crime he did not commit (a short sentence compared to most of the other subjects). A profile as much of the hard-working defense attorneys at The Innocence Project (and elsewhere) as of the poor folks unjustly imprisoned, the series is both an example of fine filmmaking and a call to action to reform the criminal-justice system.

Hello and welcome to the first episode of Anthrolactology – a podcast about lactation from an anthropological perspective! Today your hosts are Dr. Aunchalee Palmquist, Assistant Professor Maternal and Child Health, Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Dr. EA Quinn, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Washington University in St. Louis. This monthly podcast will consist of several segments on different topics – an interview with an anthropologist studying some aspect of lactation, a segment on new research in the broader world of lactation, a segment on new lactation technologies (such as pumps, milk testing kits, lactation supplements, etc.), and a segment we are calling “We tried this at home” where we or others talk about some aspect of lactation as a lived experience. In this episode, we introduce EA’s research with a community of ethnic Tibetans living in Nepal and talk about how living in a high-altitude environment influences milk composition and some reasons why high-altitude populations may produce milk with a higher fat content. We also discuss at home breast milk composition testing kits and EA outlines future plans to actually compare them to lab analyses.Click here for show notes!Credits:Artwork by Aunchalee PalmquistEditorial Advisor: Owen PalmquistAudio Editing by Vitaliy at makesomenoise on FiverrTitle music, “Big Plans”, by Grace Mesa

For this second episode of our current season we try something new with a look back at an important film from the past, Barbara Kopple’s 1976 Harlan County U.S.A., which won the 1977 Best Documentary Oscar. Why this trip down docu-memory lane? Two reasons: 1) our guest host this week is actually a guest historian, Betsy McLane, who not only knows just about everything there is to know about documentary history, but also knows quite a lot about Kopple; and 2) the coal miners of Harlan County, Kentucky, are once again on strike, gaining national and international attention over the summer. Plus ça change … And while we’re on the topic of great films about unions, we thought we’d also play a recent interview Chris did with directors Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert of American Factory, just recently released on Netflix, which tells the story of what happens when a Chinese glass company takes over an abandoned GM plant.

The film discusses both the 2016 Brexit and 2016 U.S. presidential elections and how the public’s personal data was misused by the now-defunct political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica. It’s a visually exciting and dramatically gripping look at how social-media activity leads to the hacking of our brains.

DPR brings you an exclusive preview of the long awaited 13th studio album of legendary experimental rockers Primus. ‘Sluice out the Turd’ is the album that barely got made, mainly due to the band’s crippling Pokémon Go addiction. Luckily for us, they didn’t understand micro transactions so they’ve had to down their devices and pick up their instruments to pay off Les Claypool’s Pikachu. We’re glad they did though as we now have sure fire hits like “About 80 bars of D”, “The one that sounds like an Ice Cream truck”, and “Mostly Static”. Personally this reporter can’t wait...I actually can’t...yeah...it’s terminal.   Credits & Artwork: http://www.dicepaperrole.com/podcast/episode-21-familiar-face/
