Anh Nguyen Austen's family fled Vietnam by sea in 1982, on a wooden boat bound for the Philippines. When a once-in-a-century storm struck in the South China Sea, they thought all hope was lost (R)Anh is an academic and community volunteer who grew up in Vietnam in a Catholic family.Anh's childhood was idyllic, with a big extended family and a close friendship with her cousin named Joe.But life for the adults was complicated after the end of the war, and so in the early 1980s, her parents planned a daring escape.Under the noses of the regime, they secretly constructed a boat which they hoped would take them to the Philippines.They intended to bring 40 people with them, but on the day of departure 101 people crowded on board, before the boat sailed into a once-in-a-century storm on the South China Sea.Years later, Anh found film footage of their rescue, at a moment when almost all hope was lost.After their rescue, her family made it to a refugee camp in the Philippines, then to America, where Anh grew up to attend some of the world's most prestigious universities before she became an academic herself.This episode of Conversations explores family dynamics, refugee stories, migrant stories, boat people, Vietnam War, Catholcism, escapes, near death experiences, the great American dream, Harvard, Bryn Mawr College, University of Melbourne, theology, PhD, doctorate, academia, Christianity, life story, United States.Originally broadcast in June 2022.Since Richard spoke with Anh, she has created a walking group in Melbourne for refugees and friends of refugees. Anh says walking creates connections and can inspire belonging to land, people, and country in Australia. This is part of her research on post-traumatic growth for refugees and her upcoming memoir The History of Walking with Refugees.If you would like to join the Melbourne Refugee Walking Group, email Anh.Nguyen.Austen@acu.edu

As an enslaved man, Robert Smalls had one goal – to attain freedom for himself and his family. The odds were against him. He'd hoped to buy his wife and children from their enslaver, but saving that amount of money might take a lifetime. Then, when Robert's home state of South Carolina seceded from the Union, freedom seemed even more out of reach. But then Robert got an idea. It would be bold. It would be dangerous. It would also require the cooperation, discretion, and skill of several other enslaved people.  The craziest part? It worked. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Lineberry, Cate. Be Free or Die: The Amazing Story of Robert Smalls' Escape from Slavery to Union Hero. St. Martin's Press, 2017. Miller Jr., Edward. Gullah Statesman: Robert Smalls from Slavery to Congress, 1839-1915. University of South Carolina Press, 2008. Are you enjoying An Old Timey Podcast?

(Churchill shares a lot of parallels with Steve Jobs)(10:30) He fashioned his career as a grand experiment to prove that he could work his will on his times.

Has the United States ever had a female president? An easy question to answer. Has it ever had an ‘acting' female President? Harder to answer. Check out Rebecca Boggs Roberts' very readable biography of Edith Wilson, Woodrow Wilson's second wife, and make up your own mind. The book is Untold Power: The Fascinating Rise and Complex Legacy of First Lady Edith Wilson. Following her husband's stroke in 1919, Edith Wilson decided, for reasons she thought critical to her husband's well-being, to hide the extent of his incapacities from the public, from the press, from Congress, from his cabinet, even from Wilson himself. She assumed some of the powers of the office herself. Could a First Lady get away with such audacity today in the age of social media and intense news media scrutiny? Not a chance. Was her self-justification reasonable? All those questions are what makes Edith Wilson such a complex and controversial character and a worthy subject for Rebecca Boggs Roberts.

This week we are traveling back in time to the 1800s. Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and we are taking a deep dive into one story in black history. We follow Freedom Seekers Ellen and William Craft on their 1,000 mile journey to the north. After being enslaved their entire lives, they decide to risk everything to find freedom and create a life they always wanted.  It's not an easy journey, as Ellen disguises herself as a white male and William's enslaver. They face many challenges and people who would go to extreme lengths to make sure they never escape.  The National Park Service not only preserves our wild landscapes and wildlife, but it also preserves history. The Boston African American National Historic Site preserves an important part of theirs.  We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.

Christian Post reporter Leonardo Blair takes you inside the practically unbelievable story surrounding Christian missionaries' daring escape from captivity in Haiti. At first, the world assumed the missionaries were released by the gang that detained them, but as details emerged, it became clear that something far more fascinating unfolded. Listen to Blair break down the details of this important story. "It's like the stars suddenly aligned," Blair said. "Many see it as a miracle."

Sam Silberberg was 10 years old when he was living with his family in Poland in 1939 and the Nazis invaded.  Already enduring widespread anti-semitism, Jews in Poland were rounded up and shipped off to death camps by the thousands.  Wit and grit enabled Sam to evade capture for many months while providing goods through underground markets to his fellow Jews.  Eventually Sam was captured and worked as a slave in the Blechhammer concentration camp - a subcamp of Auschwitz - with his father.  Toward the end of the war, Sam was able to escape and find his mother.  Sam then moved to the newly created nation of Israel, which he also fought to defend, before moving to the United States in 1952.  He remained quiet about his experience in the Holocaust for about 50 years, but then chose to open up and write his book, "From Hell to the Promised Land: a Boy's Daring Escape from a Nazi Concentration Camp," which you can buy on Amazon.  Sam is now 92 and lives with his wife in southern California.  He continues to educate people about the Holocaust, and many of his interviews can be found on YouTube.***Follow the Greg Krino Show here...GregKrino.comYouTubeInstagramFacebookTwitterLinkedInIf you enjoyed the podcast, please leave a short review on your podcast app. It takes only a minute, and it really helps convince popular guests to join me.If you have comments or ideas for the show, please contact me at gregkrinoshow@gmail.com.

Here is a solo episode to reflect on the young adult book that I've recently read. The book is titled, "Choices: The True Story of One Family's Daring Escape to Freedom," by J.E.Laufer, one of my previous guests in our podcast. Her book was published by Little Egg Publisher. “Choices” is a short and easy-to-read novel to read to your grandchildren to illustrate how life was in the 1950s. It will also keep both of you on the edge of your seat. I came up with five talking points below to encourage your grandchildren to share their thoughts about the book. Five Talking Points: Tweetable Quotes: “Kids enjoy hearing about relatives they might never have met and countries far away that have a connection for them.” - Terry Lohrbeer “Choices are always a part of life.” - Terry Lohrbeer Resources mentioned: ----- BEE BOLD, NOT OLD.
