Podcast appearances and mentions of dennis o'brien

A conversation with George Dennis O'Brien (University of Rochester) and Mark Alznauer (Northwestern University). John F. Kennedy once quipped that a Catholic would be president of the United States before a Catholic would be president of Harvard. As the Catholic president of two secular universities, Dennis O'Brien was a trailblazer. In this interview, O'Brien discusses his long career in higher education as a Catholic, a philosopher, and an administrator, with reflections on the past, present, and future of American higher education. O'Brien was raised in a south-side Chicago parish in the 1930s and 1940s. Educated at Yale, he came to the University of Chicago to write a PhD on Hegel. He was appointed president of Bucknell in 1976 and the University of Rochester in 1984. O'Brien's varied career offers a fascinating window onto the history of American higher education in the twentieth century. Philosopher and fellow Hegelian Mark Alznauer will conduct this interview, focusing on higher education both Catholic and secular, as well as O'Brien's experiences growing up in Chicago and attending the University of Chicago. Cosponsored by Commonweal Magazine, and the Sheil Catholic Center at Northwestern University. This event is presented by the Lumen Christi Institute Forum on the Church in Higher Education as part of its Liberal Arts Colloquium. This event was presented as a live webinar December 9, 2020.

Watertown Daily Times owner Stephanie Brockway took over part ownership of the newspaper in New York's north country after the death of her husband, Henry Brockway, in 1903. During her time, she saw the paper through a pressroom strike and the purchase of Watertown Daily Standard. While she was remembered fondly after her death, she is less discussed by history. Today, Christina Knott, Dennis O'Brien and Kelly Burdick take a lot at her life and the people around her who helped shape who she became. This episode is edited by Christina Knott.

Capt. William O’Toole, 45, Clayton, a native of Constableville and son of Civil War soldier and Irish immigrant, Peter O’Toole, piloted the Hartford. In addition to the captain, also lost when the ship went down were his wife, Mary Manson O’Toole and their 5-month-old child, Mary Kathleen, along with four others. The O’Tooles left five other children orphans, who after the tragedy were cared for by their 68-year-old grandmother, Sarah O’Toole of Clayton. Accompanying the washing up of the skeletal remains of the ship last month came fresh reflections about the captain of the doomed vessel by his descendants.

Deception, bigamy, jealousy and violence set the stage for a tragic death more than a century ago three miles outside of the north country village of Evans Mills. Was it murder? Was it an accident?

An in-depth conversation with musician and owner of Slow Boat Records Dennis O'Brien

An in-depth chat with Dennis O'Brien, owner of Slow Boat Records in Wellington. As captain of the good ship Slow Boat Dennis is an institution. His store is perhaps the greatest record store in New Zealand. Actually, no question, it is. Dennis was also a singer/songwriter with a professional music career long before he started selling records. We talk about his years playing in bars in Wellington and playing on giant festival bills in England. His albums, his aims, his return to New Zealand and the creation of Slow Boat which of course sails on. And long may it do so...
