Send us a textHONKYTONK MAN TGTPTU continues to play its old hits with Episode 5 of Season 14, its redux series season celebrating five years and don't you worry about us, hoss, we'll get through this pairing of Eastwood flicks starting with HONKYTONK MAN (1982).  Originally discussed toward the end of the epic run covering all of Clint Eastwood's filmography (Season 3, Episode 12), founding cohosts Ken and Jack invite the show's newer hosts Ryan and Thomas in to session with fresh ears and silver tongues on this adaptation of the Dust Bowl era, vaguely veiled retelling of the final years of country wester legend Jimmie Rodgers novel by Clancy Carlile adapted by him and Eastwood into a semi-comedic bildungsroman road trip movie.  Two years prior to the creation of the PG-13 rating by the MPA (né MPAA), this Eastwood-directed and starring flick brings in Eastwood's own son Kyle, roughly 14 years of age at the time, to play the nephew of a singer/songwriter who gets into all kinds of trouble with his honkytonk uncle man, from underage driving to poultry theft to jailbreaking and whoring (procured, not proffered) and contact marijuana highs and hit song composing between f-bombs and s-words and statutory rape.  Original ep guest Patrick drops in with some words of encouragement before the gents figure out on mic that this movie was Ryan's other rewatch flick pick and the show gets on the road with recently promoted host Ryan having things to say about the music scoring; Thomas checking facts like a hockey enforcer checks bodies on the ice; Ken having a spell during which he actively hallucinates Eastwood wearing his hat backwards and suppresses coughs; and Jack, staying mostly awake for this retirement home movie that borders on a “lead paint flick” designation, brings the low energy by the bushel. Also of interest, pod fav Tracey Walter appears “right chair” in the movie and “black pill” is the word of the day.  Find out what these four have to say now that the dust has settled and chickens come home to roost and learn why this Depression Era coming-of-age and one final hurrah adult-teen road trip movie with musical act interludes might be one of the least watched of Clint Eastwood's films.   CONTENT WARNING: The hosts say the titular “h word” a lot. THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!): Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were Depression Era outlaws who are just known by their first names. They have been romanticized as young lovers who stood by each other and lived life on their own terms. But in reality, Clyde was a thief and a murderer and Bonnie was his willing accomplice. For just over two years they went on a crime spree in the early 1930s robbing and killing. They were finally stopped when a 6 man posse headed by a former Texas Ranger shot and killed them with over 100 bullets, execution style, on a country road in Louisiana.

Send us a Text Message.This week on the podcast, Erin is taking us along down a rabbit hole called Matrimonial Cake. She found a variety of recipes in an old recipe box that had belonged to her great grandmother. Some of these recipes originated during the great depression early in the 20th century. Depression-era recipes are often modified to suit food rations or lack of resources to purchase the ingredients for a more classic cake recipe. There was also a fun tradition with matrimonial cake: single girls take a small piece home from the wedding and place it under their pillow with the hope of dreaming of their future husband. Heather recalls doing this as a young girl attending weddings of older family members. We don't actually know if anyone still does this!  Anyway, the matrimonial cake Erin makes for us was from her great grandmother's  hand-written recipe. It is essentially a date square - delicious moist date filling between layers of oatmeal crumble. She also adapts the recipe to include her own rhubarb and rose water filling. They were both absolutely delightful. Whether or not you call it matrimonial cake (in fact, we question whether it should even be in the cake category), you cannot go wrong with these squares. They're easy to make, it's easy to adapt the filling to your tastes, and they're a real crowd pleaser.

Frank Lloyd Wrong – When America's Greatest Architect Created His Masterpiece While Written-Off as a Has-Been

Nobody blossomed late in life like Frank Lloyd Wright. He was written off as a has-been by middle age after a promising start. Between 1909 and 1929, Wright's career was marked by personal turmoil and a roller coaster of career-related ups and downs. In these years, before he completed the buildings, we know him for today, Wright's career was so far gone that most critics had written him off as a product of the 19th century.But to everyone's surprise, after the Great Depression, Wright, now in his seventies, emerged from total career chaos to create one of America's greatest icons. From this time forward, his career surged, so much so that one third of all his buildings were constructed during the last 20 years of his life.An oft-overlooked aspect of his life is that the Great Depression played a key role in Wright's resurgence. The Depression disrupted the practice of architecture substantially, to the extent that most architects of the 1920s simply closed up shop. Unwilling to give up, Wright instead figured out ways to practice architecture during the Depression without building any buildings. And, the choices he made during this period gave rise directly to the American icon, Fallingwater. In the end, Wright stands alone as the only “big name” architect to survive the Depression years.Today's guest is Catherine Zipf, author of “Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater: American Architecture in the Depression Era.” We explore Wright's career at its lowest moment, the years of the Great Depression, before his comeback as America's greatest architect.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it

Fallingwater, perched above Bear Run in southwestern Pennsylvania is Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece, a house perhaps as recognizable as any other in the United States–and it's not even on the nickel. Less known is that it was designed and built at the end of decades of despair and seeming futility in the architect's life, a series of circumstances that would have broken nearly anyone else. Fallingwater is not only an instantiation of Wright's developing philosophy of architecture, but of his near fanatical determination to prevail against all enemies — often, most notably, himself.  But Fallingwater is also a monument to the Depression era, even though it seems very far removed from our mental images of what "the Depression" was like. With me today is Catherine W. Zipf, an award-winning architectural historian. She is executive Director of the Bristol, historical and preservation Society in Bristol, Rhode Island, and author of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater: American Architecture in the Depression Era, which is the subject of our conversation today For Further Investigation Fallingwater Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin: the one in Wisconsin Midway Gardens Wingspread The classic book to read about Chicago and its hinterland is William Cronon's Nature's Metropolis: Chicago and the Great West William R. Drennan, Death in a Prairie House: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Murders Wright in Los Angeles, and his "California Romanza": The Hollyhock House, and the Ennis House This 1996 Library of Congress exhibit, "Frank Lloyd Wright: Designs for an American Landscape, 1922-1932", covers one of the decades that Catherine Zipf and I talked about. It is full of beautiful designs, none of which were ever built. Some of the most impressive things in the exhibit are the meticulous models of the landscape in which Wright proposes to build. Catherine briefly mentioned that many houses of the 1920s, most of which are in revival style. For proof of this, see the architectural plans sold by Dover Publications Frank Lloyd Wright explains why he wrote his Autobiography Lincoln Logs and the Hollywood Bowl Listeners to recent podcasts will note some resonance with aspects of my recent conversation about Henry Wallace; but attentive long-time listeners will also note some curious resonance over the question of what is natural with Episode 222, about the career and views of Harvey Wiley.

By popular demand, we are staying in the Depression Era and doubling down on the disaster. We've done blended and mixed disasters before, but welcome to our very first two-fer plane and elevator episode. On today's episode: you'll hear about the highest stakes game of keep-away ever, the worst kind of airline fuel to use as shampoo, and you'll hear about a woman who broke a table in half with her face before setting a world record for not dying. And speaking of tid bits and tangents, I'd like to point out that if you were listening to this episode as a Patreon member, not only would you have heard it sooner and add-free, but this episode would be almost 10 MINUTES longer as we looked into the most unusual “self-guided tours” off the Empire State Building, how easy it was to score free smack in 1945, the legend of Killdozer, and a conspiracy-free take on how cheap real estate contributed to 9/11 By the end of this episode, you won't believe how many people have flown into NYC - literally. The B-25 crash was so intense and bizarre, it actually pushed actual World War II off the front pages of newspapers – for about a minute. But, as does happen throughout history, it was all but immediately purged from the public memory by the bombing of Hiroshima just a week later Find us on any of your favorite channels Apple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for more Facebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast I want to thank my Patreon listeners.

Before email, when long distance telephone calls were difficult and expensive, people wrote letters, often several each day. Today, those letters provide an intimate and revealing look at the lives and loves of the people who wrote them. When the author is a brilliant writer who lived an exciting, eventful life, the letters are especially interesting. Martha Gellhorn was a strong-willed, self-made, modern woman whose journalism, and life, were widely influential at the time and cleared a path for women who came after her. An ardent anti-fascist, she abhorred "objectivity shit" and wrote about real people doing real things with intelligence and passion. She is most famous, to her enduring exasperation, as Ernest Hemingway's third wife. Long after their divorce, her short tenure as "Mrs. Hemingway" from 1940 to 1945 invariably eclipsed her writing and, consequently, she never received her full due. Gellhorn's work and personal life attracted a disparate cadre of political and celebrity friends, among them, Sylvia Beach, Ingrid Bergman, Leonard Bernstein, Norman Bethune, Robert Capa, Charlie Chaplin, Chiang Kai-shek, Madame Chiang, Colette, Gary Cooper, John Dos Passos, Dorothy Parker, Maxwell Perkins, Eleanor and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Orson Welles, H.G. Wells -- the people who made history in her time and beyond. Yours, for Probably Always: Martha Gellhorn's Letters of Love and War 1930-1949 (Firefly Books, 2022) is a curated collection of letters between Gellhorn and the extraordinary personalities that were her correspondents in the most interesting time of her life. Through these letters and the author's contextual narrative, the book covers Gellhorn's life and work, including her time reporting for Harry Hopkins and America's Federal Emergency Relief Administration in the 1930s, her newspaper and magazine reportage during the Spanish Civil War, World War II and the Vietnam War, and her relationships with Hemingway and General James M. Gavin late in the war, and her many lovers and affairs. Gellhorn's fiction of the time sold well: The Trouble I've Seen (1936) -- her Depression-Era stories based on the FERA activities, with an introduction by H.G. Wells; A Stricken Field (1940) -- a novel inspired by the German-Jewish refugee crisis and set in 1938 Czechoslovakia; The Heart of Another (1941) -- stories edited by Maxwell Perkins; and The Wine of Astonishment (1948) -- her novel about the liberation of Dachau, which she reported for Collier's. Gellhorn's life, reportage, fiction and correspondence reveal her passionate advocacy of social justice and her need to tell the stories of "the people who were the sufferers of history." Renewed interest in her life makes this new collection, packed with newly discovered letters and pictures, fascinating reading.

Jodi Nasch Decker, Ed. D. is the granddaughter of Martha Nasch: “The Woman Who Never Ate, Drank or Slept for Seven Years.” She is also (you guessed it) my mother, my guest said.After noticing something strange from a secret medical procedure in 1927, St. Paul, Minnesota, Martha Nasch's doctor claimed she just had a "case of nerves." With a signature from her adulterous husband, Martha was committed against her will to the asylum. She spent seven-years in the Minnesota hospital during the Great Depression and tried to escape twice. Martha's poems from behind bars include shocking eyewitness accounts of patient treatment and a long-suffering adoration for her only child, now being raised alone by her deceiving spouse. When not a soul believed Martha's story, she sought an explanation for her mysterious condition that led her to a spiritual answer for the mystifying curse. Would her findings make her a metaphysical guru of the Breatharian lifestyle, or would she become the laughingstock of her Depression-era family?  http://janellemolony.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

The onset of the Great Depression brought devastation to Pennsylvania's coal region. Suddenly rendered unemployed, coal miners with no other way to make a living turned to 'bootleg' mining, setting up their own mines. The only problem was that legally, they were on company property—specifically, property owned by the likes of JP Morgan. What unfolded was a vicious, heroic, and almost unbelievable fight to unionize the coal fields by workers whose livelihoods were labelled 'illegal.' TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez sits down with Mitch Troutman to discuss his new book, The Bootleg Coal Rebellion: The Pennsylvania Miners Who Seized an Industry, 1925-1942.Mitch Troutman is a writer, educator, organizer, and member of Anthracite Unite.To read the transcript of this interview, click here: https://therealnews.com/how-illegal-great-depression-era-pennsylvania-coal-miners-fought-cops-banks-and-bosses-to-unionizePost-Production: Jules TaylorHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer:Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

Talking Billions with Bogumil Baranowski

Nicki has an extensive experience in media, a degree in radio-television-film, and a passion for history. For four years, she worked on multiple History Channel documentaries and was a research consultant for USA's Mr. Robot. In her history podcast As The Money Burns, Nicki reconstructs the Great Depression through the lives of actual heirs and heiresses. She brings back to life the tales of the rich living through the Great Depression. She sets the stage by telling us about the summer before the 1929 crash. We learn about a number of young heirs and heiresses and the lives they live. There was so much that changed at the time, the newspapers started to follow the stories of the wealthy, and they were losing their anonymity. Taxation was on the rise, so were fraud, Ponzi schemes, and more. We hear about bank runs and how no matter how rich ones are, it's not hard, and maybe extremely easy, to lose it all.   The stories we hear are almost a hundred years old, they are as relevant today as they were then.  Only this week, I took a call from someone who's been reading my articles. His family tale is set between two continents and resembles so many of the stories we'll hear today talking with Nicki.   Someone once reminded me that it's not easy, but it's cheaper to learn from the mistakes of others.   Let's go back to the Roaring 20s and the Great Depression Era with my guest - Nicki Woodard.  https://asthemoneyburns.com/ TW / IG – @asthemoneyburns Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/asthemoneyburns/ ---- ⁠⁠⁠⁠Crisis Investing: 100 Essays⁠⁠⁠⁠ - My new book.

May 23, 1934. On a muggy Louisiana morning, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow speed toward the Texas border. They've been on the run for over a year—wanted for robbery and murder—and the lurid news accounts of their exploits have made them famous. But today, Bonnie and Clyde's legendary crime spree comes to an end … in a hail of bullets. Why did some come to view these Depression Era outlaws as agents of chaos the country needed? And what was the real motivation behind their crimes?Special thanks to our guest, John Neal Phillips, author of Running With Bonnie and Clyde: The Ten Fast Years of Ralph Fults. Hosted on Acast.

From the New Thought Movement of the 1880s to Charles Fillmore's Depression-Era preaching to Joel Osteen's megachurch, the notion that spiritual effort can yield material rewards has been a popular one for both New Age and Christian believers. The Prosperity Gospel asks that believers trust God and credit God for their own successes, but remind believers to work at the things they want. It preaches that money and material wealth aren't evil and conveniently overlooks Jesus's own poverty and teachings against the rich who have only the narrowest chance of getting into the kingdom of heaven. It is a doctrine that is full of paradoxes and omissions but it remains one of the most popular elements of megachurch Christianity on the market.
