S01-E04 We feature my history of Supplemental Instruction that was published several decades ago. I updated the history with more accurate numbers regarding the institutions and countries operating the SI program. I also briefly talk about the national SI or PASS centers located around the world. I conclude the history with some personal comments of what it was like to work directly with Dr. Deanna Martin for over a decade at the SI office at UMKC. I also share some thoughts about the current leaders of the International Center for SI and what the future may hold for SI. It was certainly a privilege to be a witness to the development and expansion of SI into a world-wide program. The primary synthetic voices for this episode are Olivia and Henry. When there are direct quotations to read, Ronald and Carole use their voices. Please share your comments about the episode and the use of the voices. I am learning more how to employ the synthetic family to make this a more pleasant listening experience. Especially since this episode is 45 minutes long. In addition to this audio episode, I also provide a transcript of this episode along with references included in the original version of this history.

S04-E09 We continue the interview series with the study group manager and the students that lead the study group sessions. The last episode featured Dr. Laura Jacobi, who is a faculty member and the program manager. Now we begin episodes that feature five of their student study group leaders. In part two of a six-part series featuring the MavPASS program at Minnesota State University at Mankato, we feature an interview with Faith who serves as a student study group leader. MavPASS is their institutional name for Supplemental Instruction. Let’s listen in on our conversation.

S04-E08 Beginning with this podcast episode, we start airing interviews with study group program coordinators and student study group leaders from over twenty colleges in Australia, Canada, and the United States. These episodes will likely occur from April through September of 2021. Then, a new series will be recorded during October through November and aired late in 2021 and early 2022. The pattern will be to group together the program coordinator and the student leaders from the same institution and release them as a series. Two episodes will air each week. I will record some podcast episodes in between institutional series with research updates from me concerning my research on peer learning. In part one of a six-part series, we feature an interview with Dr. Laura Jacobi, a faculty member and Program Director for MavPASS, their institutional name for Supplemental Instruction, at Minnesota State University in Mankato. Dr. Jacobi’s previously published research concerning online learning uniquely prepared her to transition the SI program to online in spring 2020. In addition to this audio episode, I also provide several PDF documents: first, a one-page overview of their program, second, a photograph of some of the student study group leaders, and finally a profile of the institution.

S03-E06 We feature U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy sharing the court’s opinion about the Citizens United case that dramatically changed campaign finance laws in the U.S. and the influence of big money by corporations with our elections since. If you ever wondered why there are so many political advertisements and who funds many of them, this is the defining case. After this case was decided by a slim 5 to 4 margin, unlimited money from corporations could pour into political campaigns. Before this, campaigns had to depend upon individual contributions from people. The majority for a Supreme Court opinion select one justice to speak on behalf of them. On this occasion, it will be Associate Justice Kennedy. In addition to this audio episode, I also provide several PDF documents: first, a short overview of the case, second, a transcript of Kenney’s speech, third, a concurring and dissenting opinion by Justice Thomas, and finally, a short biography of Kenney. Let us now tune our radio dial to 2010 and listen to Justice Kennedy share a Supreme Court opinion that has changed ever election campaign since.

S04-E07 I feature a previous publication by me, Administrative Placement of Supplemental Instruction Programs. This was one part of my dissertation focused on several aspects of Supplemental Instruction that was published in 2000. Olivia and Henry, members of my synthetic voice family will narrate the publication. If I were writing this dissertation today, no doubt there would be changes. But, I think the publication is still useful. I have created a new podcast that just features my previous publications. It is named the Equity Podcast: Equal Outcomes for all Students. It is available at www.equitypodcast.org You can also find links to all my podcasts, Facebook pages, Twitter feeds, and YouTube channels at www.davidmedia.org I am providing a couple of samples of what will appear on that podcast on this one. With the Equity Podcast, I provide a short introduction and then have my synthetic voices do the narration. This episode uses multiple voices to add variety and hopefully a little fun while listening with one voice asking questions and the other answering by reading from the publication. To make it easier to listen to, the narration will not include all the references with dates within the publication nor provide a reference list at the end. You can find the original document by doing a Google search. In addition to this audio episode, I also provide a PDF transcript of the original publication. I hope these words are useful in your work.  The following links allow you to subscribe: iTunes, Amazon Music/Audible, Castbox.fm, Deezer, Facebook, Gaana, Google Podcast, iHeartRadio, Player.fm, Radio Public, Samsung Listen, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn, Twitter, Vurbl, and YouTube.

S04-E06 In this podcast episode, we feature a previous publication by me, Understanding the Supplemental Instruction Model. I authored this one back in the 1990s. Leslie, a member one of my synthetic voice family will narrate the publication. If I were writing this article today, no doubt there would be changes. But, I think the article is still useful. I have created a new podcast that just features my previous publications. It is named the Equity Podcast: Equal Outcomes for all Students.

S01-E03 We feature Administrative Placement of Supplemental Instruction Programs. There was a frequent question where should the program should be administratively based: academic affairs or student affairs. Historically, SI had been based in both places and there were plenty of opinions on which was the better place. I decided to add that question to my dissertation study of all SI programs in the United States. This publication contains the study that resulted in an answer. In addition to this audio episode, I also provide the transcript of the narration of that section of my dissertation.

S04-E05 We continue our brief overviews of publications about leader identity emergence by the study session leaders. The narration of the publication overview will be by members of my synthetic voice family. I hope that the interaction that occurs will make the listening more enjoyable. Due to the length of this particular bibliography, it will be spread out over two episodes. In addition to this audio episode, I also previously provided a PDF copy of the topical bibliography. You can see the other topical bibliographies as well as the master copy on my web site.

S03-E05 We feature Reverend Billy Graham and the speech from 1958 “Why the cross?” It is an appropriate recording to post to the podcast since it is Thursday of Holy Week, just before Christ was crucified. As a Christ-follower myself, there is nothing more central to the Christian faith than the death and resurrection of Jesus from the dead. It is part of the central message of the faith and essential for it to be meaningful. In addition to this audio episode, I also provide several PDF documents: first, a biography of Reverend Graham, second, second, a general article on how crucifixion occurred in ancient times, third, an article focused on the crucifixion of Jesus and finally, an article on the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. All four articles come from Wikipedia.

S03-E04 Josh McDowell and his speech “A logical defense of the Christian faith”. McDowell has spoken to millions of college students over the past forty years. His most popular public lectures were on a logical defense for the Christian faith. McDowell traveled the country making presentations with sponsorship by various organizations. An emphasis of his talks was that a choice to believe in the Christian faith is not a leap of faith. Rather, there is plenty of evidence that can lead someone to make a decision for believing in Christianity. This particular speech is a long-one at over an hour. It is packed with the evidence that led Josh McDowell as a skeptic to make this decision. I thought this a good episode in the context of our approach to Easter in a few weeks. In addition to this audio episode, I also provide several PDF documents: one a biography of Mr. McDowell and an article about one of key arguments for the faith originally written by C.S. Lewis, an enormously influential Christian who also argued that Christianity was not a blind leap of faith.

S04-E01 Overview to Season Four of the PAL podcast. Last season we included interviews with several Australian study group leaders. This season we will continue the same with interviews of student leaders in the U.S. and other countries. We will expand the interviews to also include the coordinators or managers of study group programs as well. If you and your student leaders would be interested in being interviewed, let me know. I just completed an update to the annotated bibliography of the seven major peer learning groups. I will highlight that in the next podcast episode and will also provide a PDF copy of the document. Throughout the year I plan to share some publications from the bibliography related to different topics such as leader identity emergence, professional development, and the process used by student leaders as well as others. There are amazing publications being written and research studies conducted about the effectiveness of peer learning programs to benefit both the participants and the student leaders. Stay tuned to this podcast. Join us next time for news about the updated bibliography and the opportunity to download it.

SO2-E06 U.S. Supreme Court case affected religious practice and speech in public schools. It was the Good News Club versus Milford Central School case from 2001. We will hear the voice of Justice Clarence Thomas as he delivers the opinion for the U.S. Supreme Court justices. Under New York law, Milford Central School policy authorizes district residents to use its building after school for certain activities. Two parents were district residents who were eligible to use the school's facilities. They sought approval of their proposed use and sponsorship of the Good News Club, a private Christian organization for children. The parents submitted a request to hold the Club's weekly afterschool meetings at the school. Milford denied the request reasoning that the proposed use, including singing songs, hearing Bible lessons, memorizing scripture, and praying, was the equivalent of religious worship prohibited by the community use policy. The Club filed suit alleging that the denial violated its free speech rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments. Ultimately, the District Court granted Milford summary judgment to not grant permission. The parents then appealed the decision. After hearing the case, the Court of Appeals agreed with the District Court that because the subject matter of the Club's was "quintessentially religious", and the activities "fall outside the bounds of pure 'moral and character development,'" According to them, Milford's policy of excluding the Club's meetings was constitutional subject discrimination, not unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination. The parents appealed the decision to the Supreme Court of the United States. The question for the court was, “Did Milford Central School violate the First Amendment free speech rights of the Good News Club when it excluded the Club from meeting after hours at the school? If a violation occurred, was it justified by Milford's concern that permitting the Club's activities would violate the Establishment Clause?” The court reversed the previous court decisions by ruling six justices to three in favor of the parents and the Good News Club. This podcast contains an oral summary of the SCOTUS decision by Justice Thomas who spoke on behalf of the majority of the justices. This is one about three minutes. Accompanying this audio podcast are three other items. First, an audio of the argument delivered by the attorneys representing the parents. This is about over sixty minutes in length. In addition to the voice of the attorney representing the Good News Club, you will also hear various Supreme Court justices asking questions. It is quite an interactive event with the justices often interrupting the attorney. Second item included is a formal document that contains information about the case, the formal written opinion by the majority of the justices, and comments by individual justices. Some of them join with the majority, some oppose the decision, and others support in part and oppose in other. The final document included is a two-page handout on how to read a Supreme Court decision.

We feature an episode from old time radio, the CBS News Radio Series, You Are There. The docudrama is “The Pilgrims Sail to America in 1620”. Several PDF documents accompany this podcast to provide more information: Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony, Mayflower Ship and Voyage to America, and Mayflower Compact. Created by CBS Radio, it blended history with modern technology, taking an entire network newsroom on a time warp each week reporting the great events of the past. The news reporters were the top national journalists from CBS. The series started in1947 and featured various key events in American and world history, portrayed in dramatic recreations. Additionally, CBS News reporters report on the action and interview the key people from each historical episode. An announcer would give the date and the event, followed by a loud and boldly spoken "You are there!" This radio show was an example of serious attempts during the early days of radio to be educational rather than only entertaining. The beauty of their show was they provided the voices and news commentary while your imagination created the visuals of the historic event and people.

In a change of pace with this first podcast episode of the second season, we feature an episode from old time radio, the CBS News Radio Series, You Are There. The docudrama is “Columbus Sailing to the Americas on October 12, 1492”. Created by CBS Radio, it blended history with modern technology, taking an entire network newsroom on a time warp each week reporting the great events of the past. The news reporters were the top national journalists from CBS. The series started in1947 and featured various key events in American and world history, portrayed in dramatic recreations. Additionally, CBS News reporters report on the action and interview the key people from each historical episode. An announcer would give the date and the event, followed by a loud and boldly spoken "You are there!" This radio show was an example of serious attempts during the early days of radio to be educational rather than only entertaining. The beauty of their show was they provided the voices and news commentary while your imagination created the visuals of the historic event and people. Since the voyages of Columbus 500 years ago, the historical investigation has led to much different interpretation of those events. This radio show presents only one viewpoint. I provide more PDF documents than usual for this episode. Two of them involve background on multiple voyages of Columbus and more information about the man. Three PDF documents represent different ways that Columbus is celebrated or reviled around the world. One is about Columbus Day and two others – Indigenous People Day and Native American Day – provide an alternative perspective by focusing on the people living in the Americas. I leave it to you to draw your own conclusions about the impact of the voyages.

In this podcast episode, we feature President Lyndon Johnson and his speech “The Great Society”. President Johnson designed the "Great Society" legislation by expanding civil rights, public broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, aid to education, the arts, urban and rural development, public services, and his "War on Poverty". Assisted in part by a growing economy, the War on Poverty helped millions of Americans rise above the poverty line during his administration. Civil rights bills he signed into law banned racial discrimination in public facilities, interstate commerce, the workplace, and housing; the Voting Rights Act prohibited certain requirements in southern states used to disenfranchise African Americans. With the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, the country's immigration system was reformed, encouraging greater immigration from regions other than Europe. Johnson's presidency marked the peak of modern liberalism after the New Deal era. In addition to this audio episode, I also provide several PDF documents: first, a transcript of this speech, secondly a short overview of his life, and finally, a more detailed description of The Great Society envisioned by the president. Let us now tune our radio dial to May 22, 1964 and listen to President Johnson share his vision for The Great Society.

In this podcast episode, we feature President Jimmy Carter and his “Energy and the National Goals” speech. It is often called the “Crisis of Confidence” speech. A major priority of President Carter was the U.S. policy of energy consumption. The nation was suffering from rising oil costs due to OPEC which resulted in gas rationing, long gas lines, and energy shortages just to name a few. Before the formal part of this energy policy speech, President Carter explored reasons for lack of action by Congress with energy issues. He saw the threat as a “crisis of confidence” in our ability to forge a national priority to work together to deal with this and other issues. That section of the speech is why some call this the “Crisis of Confidence” speech. In addition to this audio recording, I also provide three PDF documents: first, a transcript of this speech, second, a short overview of his personal and political life, and finally a summary of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act which was part of President’s Carter’s National Energy Act.

In this podcast episode, we provide a speech by Paul Harvey which is called “The pledge of America’s first citizens.” Mr. Harvey gave this speech annually about the price paid by many of the Founding Fathers for their involvement in the American Revolutionary War. As Mr. Harvey states, some people go to war since they have nothing to lose, in this case, the Founding Fathers had everything to lose since they were already men of influence, power, and wealth. They risked it all for the rest of the soon-to-be Americans and us as their descendants. Some lost it all in the process. On Independence Day, it is good to remember their sacrifices for us. In addition to this audio episode, I also provide three PDF documents: first, a copy of the Declaration of Independence, second, an article about the Founding Fathers, and finally the backstory about composing the Declaration of Independence.

Welcome to the 14th season of Then and How: Global History and Culture podcast.  The podcast began during fall of 2006 as a project in an introductory global history course at the University of Minnesota.  This short overview episode reminds listeners of the purpose of the podcast and encourages listener feedback to David Arendale who is the course instructor.  His email address is arendale@umn.edu  

Thank you for your interest in the podcast created by my students and me. It has been a labor of love since 2006. I recently changed to Libsyn to host the podcast. That you see nearly 240 episodes uploaded for all 13 seasons since 2006. While the primary purpose of this podcast was to serve as a study support for the students as they prepared for major exams, they also had opportunity to create special podcasts. This may be of the highest interest to you. You can easily find the special podcasts by using the “categories” tab in you visit the podcast blog page at http://thenandnow.org the tab is located in the upper-left side just below the podcast banner image.  You can also identity these podcasts if looking at those downloaded by looking for “Special Podcast”, “Music Video…” or something like that rather than referring to the week’s topic (WWII..) Please download this PDF document for more information.  Thanks for listening.  Send feedback back to me at arendale@umn.edu David Arendale, Associate Professor, University of Minnesota
