Podcasts about dignity seeking respect

Chris Arnade writes the Substack ‘Chris Arnade Walks the World,' which chronicle his wanderings as he literally walks and walks and walks all over the world. He is the author and photographer for the book Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America. Chris and I discuss the value of getting out of your physical and intellectual bubble, loyalty to your restaurant and bar, the McDonald's test, and why America's forgotten people would support a New York real estate tycoon and reality TV star for president. I will note, this interview was recorded prior to the Trump assassination attempt and President Biden's withdrawal from the race. All that said, this episode is not about partisan politics.   Cultural Debris on YouTube Cultural Debris Excursions - Travel With Us! Cultural Debris Patreon - Support the podcast!

They explore the disconnect between the wealthy and commoners regarding immigration and the deteriorating state of public spaces in the U.S. due to issues like homelessness and low trust in society.

“We had compassion for those left behind but thought that our job was to provide them an opportunity (no matter how small) to get where we were. We didn't think about changing our definition of success.” Those words come from Chris Arnade. His definition of success had been tied to upward mobility, ascending socially and professionally to the point of becoming a well-compensated Wall Street investor, who happened to pick up PhD in theoretical physics on the way. But eventually he went searching for something else––for other places and indeed for other people. He walked. He walked right into the kinds of towns and abandoned cities that most of successful Americans turned away from, even ridiculed. He paid attention to the people in these places, learned their stories, entered––as much as could––into their lives, discovering the ways in which they searched for meaning or sought community. The result of these immersions is his book, Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America.Church Life Today is a partnership between the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame and OSV Podcasts from Our Sunday Visitor.

Our guest today is Chris Arnade, author of the best seller Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America. A Florida native, Chris was one of the first quants on Wall Street and spent 20 years as a trader before becoming disenchanted in finance's role in the 2008 Great Financial Crisis, leading him to walk through the South Bronx and all over areas of the country that he describes as “left behind.”   Chris has a way of putting the current bipolarization in the US into words as well as anyone I've come across. We talk about our country's focus on quantifiable things like GDP and efficiency and lack of focus on intangible things like community, connection and religion. We also touch on the role of McDonald's in the country, why you may need to change what you think of McDonald's, and what he thinks is behind the mistrust of authority and others.     Our local co-hosts today are Chris Cannon, CFA, and Colby Donovan, both of which are board members of CFA Orlando.

On the Lean Out podcast, we've talked a lot about the haves and the have nots. Our guest today has another way of thinking about this: he calls it the front row of America and the back row. The front row is in power; it values education, credentials, and consumerism. But the back row values different things – things like family, faith, and place. Chris Arnade is a writer and photographer who covers poverty and addiction. He's the author of Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America. His new project is walking the world and documenting it on Substack – and he's recently roamed the streets of Ukraine. He's here today to talk about the strange, surreal moment we are in, and how the back row/front row tensions play into it. Chris Arnade is our guest, today on Lean Out.

Chris Arnade (@Chris_arnade), long-time writer and author of “Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America,” joins the show to discuss his recent experience walking America and how his views on politics and the COVID-19 response have changed as a result. Chris shares his unique upbringing and professional background, ways in which he satisfied his early interest in long walks and what he made of these walks, and how this interest developed into touring the U.S. and photographing the people he encountered. Chadi and Chris discuss the “real America” and break down the “rows” of people in the country, how leaders have failed the lower class when it comes to COVID messaging, and many other interesting topics.

Join us for a conversation with author Chris Arnade about his adventures across the fruited plain seeking dignity in "Back Row America." Co-hosted by Josiah Neeley of R Street Institute and Doug McCullough.

Sometimes, it takes just one tweet to spark a debate.This month, the journalist Matt Taibbi suggested that the “financial/educational/political elite” hold real influence in America — not Fox and its viewers. According to Taibbi, America is controlled by the sensibilities of the few — especially those who run tech companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter. But where does that leave politicians, or the media, in the struggle for power in America?This week, Jane Coaston debates who's really wielding power in America right now and to what ends, with Matt Taibbi, author of several books, including “Hate Inc.: Why Today's Media Makes Us Despise One Another,” and writer of the newsletter “TK News”; and Michelle Cottle, a member of the Times editorial board.Mentioned in this episode:The book “Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America” by Chris Arnade.Jane's 2020 piece in Vox, “Trump was supposed to change the GOP. But the GOP changed him.”

Chris Arnade, writer, photographer & author of the book “Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America,” joins us to discuss the inadequate response by the government to myriad crisis, the mocking tone liberals take when discussing economic anxiety and how and why people in forgotten towns disengage from politics after years of being ignored.You can follow Chris HERE & pick up his book HERE.—Drop us a line at theinsurgentspod@gmail.com.You can also listen to the Insurgents on iTunes HERE.On Spotify HERE.On Google Podcasts HERE.And all other links are HERE.If you’d like to become a premium subscriber and gain access to premium episodes as well as our private Discord server, you can do so here: This is a public episode.

In this episode, I speak with Chris Arnade about his book "Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America". We discuss themes from his book including poverty, addiction, racism, and the value of home and place, the role of faith, and the role of McDonalds as a respite and community center.

In this episode of Talk Justice, LSC Vice Chair Father Pius Pietrzyk interviews Chris Arnade, author of “Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America.” Leaving behind a 20-year career on Wall Street, Arnade decided to document poverty and addiction in the Bronx and later across the country. His work looks at the resilience of what he calls “America's Back Row”—those who lack the credentials and advantages to get ahead.

At a moment where punditry can feel relatively grim – mostly due to the feeling of instability resulting from this endless election – Jonah wanted to have on someone who was capable of a different variety of punditry. Who fits the bill better for a political commentary of “pluckish optimism” than National Review’s Jim Geraghty, who displayed his infinite humility by choosing not to wear his brand new “Remnant 10-Timer” Championship Belt on the Zoom call? Jim gives his analysis regarding many of the questions that will remain for conservatives after the election is decided: Whither goes the GOP? (A “multi-ethnic, working class, populist party?) What is the correct story to tell about Latino voters and Trump? (And why is the mainstream media adopting the most racist interpretation of this situation rather than the most accurate?) And, most importantly, is Mar-a-Lago Trump’s Elba, or his St. Helena?

Chris Arnade, author of Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America, rejoins The Realignment to discuss the 100 million non-voting Americans, whether populism is doomed to fail, and why his time as a Wall Street banker in emerging markets makes him pessimistic about America’s future.

Chris Arnade is a writer and photographer, and the author of the book Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America, which is published by Sentinel.  His work has also been published in the New York Times, the Atlantic, the Guardian, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal, among many others.  Before that, he worked on Wall Street for 20 years as a trader, with Salomon Brothers and Citigroup, before that, he earned a PhD in Physics from Johns Hopkins, and before that, he grew up in the town of San Antonio, Florida.

Chris Arnade was pulled from his successful finance career in New York City to document the class divide in America. He has travelled hundreds of thousands of miles, stopped in countless McDonald's, and met folks of all walks of life. In "Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America," Chris documents his encounters - including some in Missouri - through words and photographs, and he exposes the human toll of the economic shift in the country.

Chris Arnade, author of Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America, discusses if and how dignity can be salvaged in American life.

Our special guest on tomorrow's podcast is Chris Arnade, the author of *Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America.* Please let us know what questions you'd like to add to the following list that we've proposed to Mr. Arnade.1. Would it be right to say that your book, *Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America*, is about accompanying those that have been left behind and listening to them?2. How is it that MacDonald's plays so great a role in your travels?3. Why are storefront churches so vital to people “in the back row”?4. What leads to widespread addiction among the people that you met?5. How does prostitution tend to stem from abuse?6. Do people “in the front row” and those “in the back row” often differ sharply in how they view family and home?7. There are many rows on buses. Has your investigation prompted any special insight into the many people in the middle rows?8. How would you evaluate St. John Paul II's observation, in his encyclical Faith and Reason, that “the possibility of discovering the real meaning of life is cast into doubt,” and so “many people stumble through life to the very edge of the abyss without knowing where they are going.”9. Early in your account you introduce a young woman, Takeesha, who in defining herself says she is a “child of God.” How do you understand her words?10. The lead editorial in Sunday's L.A. Times rejects medical triage proposals that assign different values to different human beings as “an affront to human dignity.” What do you see as the foundation of that dignity?Hoping that you will give us a listen!

In this episode of Infinite Loops, we spoke with Chris Arnade, author of the bestselling book Dignity: Seeking Respect in Backrow America.   We discussed: Why Chris left Wall Street to document ‘back row America’. How Wall Street has changed over the years Why Chris’s work triggers certain crowds of people The importance of McDonald's to American communities The lessons he’s learned from traveling around America’s lower-income communities.

Hello! I’m Jane Coaston, filling in for Ezra. My guest today is Tim Carney, a commentary editor at the Washington Examiner and a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.  In the wake of the 2016 election, Carney began traveling across the country and poring through county-level data in an attempt to understand the forces that led to Donald Trump’s victory. The culprit, he argues, is not racism or economic anxiety, it's the breakdown of social institutions. In his new book Alienated America: Why Some Places Thrive While Others Collapse, Carney posits that for centuries religious (and other private) institutions formed a much-needed social glue that kept communities together. That social glue, however, has decayed in recent decades, creating a void of despair, alienation, and frustration in so-called “Middle America." Donald Trump did not offer a compelling way to solve these problems, but he was the only candidate willing to name them — and in 2016 that was enough. In this conversation, we discuss Carney's thesis at length, but we also talk about why white evangelicals love Trump so much, how communities of color have responded differently to institutional loss than white communities, the appeal of Bernie Sanders, how Trump's reelection strategy will differ from his 2016 campaign, and much more. I hope this conversation is as interesting for you to listen to as it was for me to have.

A lot of politicians like to say that there are “two Americas,” but do any of them know what life is really like for the marginalized poor? We speak with journalist and photographer, Chris Arnade, about the forgotten towns and people of back row America. In 2011, Chris left a high-powered job as a bond trader on Wall Street, hit the road, and spent years documenting the lives of poor people, driving 150 thousand miles around the U.S. His new book is Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America (Sentinel, 2019). In his many columns in The Guardian, Chris writes about broken social systems that have betrayed poor people on the margins of society. He speaks to us about drug addicts and prostitutes he met, and their faith, resilience and ties to community. "I think if I had one suggestion to policy people, it would be get out of your bubble," says Chris. "I think when you blame a group of people for their behavior, without addressing the situation they find themselves in, then you are doing it wrong." In this episode we explore the stark division between elite, globalized "front row kids" in the media and knowledge industries, and most of the poor and working-class people in the back row. Richard Davies and Jim Meigs are the host of the terrific podcast “How Do We Fix It?,” on which they talk to the world's most creative thinkers about, well, how to fix things. Lots of things. Important ones. Highly recommended. You can find “How Do We Fix It” on Apple Podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This summer, I had the opportunity to speak with Author and Photographer Chris Arnade on his new book, "Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America" . The conversation spans Chris's background (he came from High-Finance), why he left the world of wall-street to see poverty in America first hand. And what he learned when he began treating those suffering from addiction, poverty and homelessness with the dignity, respect and love they deserve. We also discuss current political movements (The Poor People's Campaign), how the left could do a better job discussing homelessness and religion, why the Right is also attracted to his work. Chris is a one of a kind thinker. I hope you enjoy our conversation!

In an effort to rethink the conversation around poverty, author Chris Arnade’s new book, ‘Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America’, pushes aside decades of academic detachment, instead encouraging those who have been left out of prosperity to describe their own experiences. This week, Chris joins Goldy for a wide-ranging conversation about poverty, addiction, and inequality.  Chris Arnade is a writer and photographer covering addiction and poverty in America. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Guardian, and the Washington Post, among many others.  Twitter: @Chris_arnade Further reading:  Our forgotten towns: struggle, resilience, love and respect in ‘back-row America’: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jun/05/america-dignity-chris-arnade-book-extract-poverty  Dignity on IndieBound: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780525534730  Learn more about your ad choices.

Whiteness, as an idea and as an identity, is not as fixed as many people believe. Over the centuries, Western societies have defined and redefined it. But always, it has served to delineate who gets access to rights and privileges, and who doesn't. In this episode, we meet an Italian American family as they reflect on a time when they weren't yet white in America, and consider how that changed. And we explore the role white identity politics have always played in American elections. We hear from: - Chris Arnade, author of Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America - Nell Irvin Painter, author of The History of White People  - Joshua Freeman, Distinguished Professor of History at CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies and author of Behemoth: A History of the Factory and the Making of the Modern World - Fred Gardaphe, Distinguished Professor of Italian American Studies at Queens College Hosted by Kai Wright. Produced by Joseph Capriglione. 

There are two guests on this week's special 250th episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. Chris Arnade is a photographer and contributing writer for the New York Times, Atlantic, Guardian, Washington Post, Financial Times, and Wall Street Journal. His new book is Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America. Arnade reflects on leaving his job as a stock trader on Wall Street and embarking on a quest across America during the rise of Trump in an effort to see just how broken American society is and was. Arnade also shares how his walks across New York City and taking pictures of everyday people -- the working class, the poor, people without homes, hustlers, immigrants, migrants, and others -- impacted his understanding of life and human dignity and became the basis of his new book Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America. Arnade also reflects on the power of listening and how in many ways the poor and homeless are more honorable and good than the rich and the powerful. Investigative journalist and author Sam Quinones is the second guest on this week's show. He is a journalist, storyteller, and former LA Times reporter. Quinones' most recent book is Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic. Dreamland won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2015. Quinones explains how Big Pharma and their opiates took over huge swaths of Trumplandia and other parts of the United States through "pain management" -- and then enterprising Mexican drug kingpins were able to leverage that opportunity to import huge amounts of heroin into the country. Quinones also explains what he learned from meeting one of the most important figures in the U.S.-Mexico heroin trade and if Donald Trump's wall will do anything to stem the tide of drugs (and addiction) in America. Chauncey DeVega reflects on America in a time of moral inversion when white supremacists and other right-wing street hooligans and paramilitaries can march openly in American cities such as Portland and it is the anti-fascists who are somehow labeled as "terrorists". Chauncey is deeply worried that tens of millions of Americans no longer know right from wrong in the Age of Trump. And Chauncey also shares some little-known history about the true origins of the Statue of Liberty and how African-Americans struggling against Jim and Jane Crow understood the statue to be an affront and insult. At the end of this week's special 250th episode of the podcast Chauncey shares an exciting story about the newly discovered bones of a 5-foot-tall prehistoric penguin.

Today we talk about an important book, cutting across political lines in America, though one that falls a bit short in making necessary distinctions.  (The written version of this review can be found here.)

In this week's episode we speak with Chris Arnade, author of "Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America," ” the powerful photojournalistic stories of individuals who are far too often ignored and forgotten. Plus, from our mailbag... Why is the Church getting involved with the issue of immigrant driver's licenses? And, in our bricklayer segment, we give you tips on how to make a difference starting in your own neighborhood as a faithful citizen.

Chris Arnade joins Andrew, Derek, and Alastair to talk about his new book, "Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America," where he tells the stories of how America's poor find dignity and identity in their forgotten communities.

The vacant lot. The slumlorded building with the roof caving in. In so many of our communities, even the most beloved neighborhoods are battling at least a little blight—and in some of our towns, whole blocks are succumbing to the most vicious forms of decline. And worst of all, it’s not a new problem; there are countless historical examples of crumbling communities getting so far gone that it feels like there’s no choice but to fire up the bulldozers, tear the whole thing down urban-renewal-style, and build some big silver-bullet project in its place. Here at Strong Towns, we know that’s about the worst thing our places can do. Because by their nature, megaprojects that are out of scale with the place they’re serving are really fragile; it’s a little like putting all your chips on red on the roulette wheel. But paradoxically, many cities seem to see the blight-raze-rebuild cycle as the path of least resistance—in no small part because they haven’t been shown a good alternative. That’s where Mobile, Alabama comes in. A recent article from Fast Company shows how the Southern town took a novel approach to their notorious blight problem—or, more accurately, what they thought was a notorious blight problem. Because as it turns out, when the mayor actually humbled himself to take a walk in his city’s neighborhoods and see where people were really struggling (a.k.a. the Strong Towns approach to community engagement), he found that with just a bit more #ChaoticButSmart observation and one significant but light-lift policy shift, he could probably end blight in his place—no bulldozers required. And, before you ask, no: the answer wasn’t more code enforcement… at least not the way your city probably does code enforcement. On this episode of Upzoned, Chuck and Kea explore exactly what Mobile did to turn their place around, and why it’s so hard—but so necessary—to celebrate quiet victories like theirs. Then in the Downzone, Chuck and Kea give their summer reading recommendations, from Chris Arnade’s brand new hardcover Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America, to Jonah Goldberg’s Suicide of the West, to Madeline Miller’s Circe. Oh, and they also reveal what the Strong Towns team saw on their annual staff retreat trip to the movies—guess which one of them went in for Rocketman and who thought Godzilla: King of the Monsters was more their speed?

A lot of politicians like to say that there are “two Americas,” but do any of them know what life is really like for the marginalized poor?We speak with journalist and photographer, Chris Arnade, about the forgotten towns and people of back row America. In 2011, Chris left a high-powered job as a bond trader on Wall Street, hit the road, and spent years documenting the lives of poor people, driving 150 thousand miles around the U.S.His new book is "Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America." In his many columns in The Guardian, Chris writes about broken social systems that have betrayed poor people on the margins of society. He speaks to us about drug addicts and prostitutes he met, and their faith, resilience and ties to community."I think if I had one suggestion to policy people, it would be get out of your bubble," says Chris. "I think when you blame a group of people for their behavior, without addressing the situation they find themselves in, then you are doing it wrong."In this episode we explore the stark division between elite, globalized "front row kids" in the media and knowledge industries, and most of the poor and working-class people in the back row.

One day, Chris Arnade strolled into an area of New York City he rarely ventured into: the Bronx. That day began a journey, spent in McDonalds and churches, in drug dens and places where the homeless congregate, for the Wall Street trader. In his new book, "Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America," Arnade highlights the America too many of our elites would rather ignore. He joins the podcast to share what he learned about politics (and why he correctly predicted Donald Trump would win in 2016), religion, addiction, and much more. We also cover these stories:•There were 144,000 migrants apprehended at the U.S. - Mexico border in May.•A teacher who is transitioning from male to female made a video he showed to his elementary school students to explain his new persona.•YouTube is tightening its censorship.
