Podcast appearances and mentions of dorothy thompson

In this episode of our podcast, DLS co-host Florian Duijsens tells us about journalist, writer, and witness to history Dorothy Thompson.  As a foreign correspondent in Germany, she was among the first to caution against the growing tides of fascism, warning urgently against the Nazis and Hitler. Unfortunately, the world didn't listen. Dorothy continued to speak out throughout her life, and during her career peak, was read and heard on the radio by millions.       Her personal life at times also made the news — she was married to Pulitzer Prize-winning author and alcoholic Sinclair ‘Hal' Lewis but was also less openly involved with German-Hungarian novelist, playwright and sculptor Christa Winsloe, the author of the notorious girl's boarding school lesbian story which became Mädchen in Uniform, an even more notorious film starring Dead Lady Romy Schneider.   Katy Derbyshire, our other DLS co-founder joins host/producer Susan Stone to introduce the story.    Visit our episode page to get more info on Dorothy Thompson: https://deadladiesshow.com/2025/04/24/podcast-80-dorothy-thompson/   You can find NPR's recent feature on Dorothy Thompson here:  https://www.npr.org/2025/03/14/nx-s1-5324672/dorothy-thompson-hitler   Join our newsletter to stay updated on our events, including our May 13th Anniversary Show in Berlin: https://deadladiesshowberlin.beehiiv.com/   Tickets can be found here: https://literatur-berlin.tickettoaster.de/produkte/3707-tickets-dead-ladies-show-39-the-10th-anniversary-edition-lettretage-berlin-am-13-05-2025   Join the newsletter for Dead Ladies NYC here.

In 1939, Time Magazine called Dorothy Thompson a woman who “thinks, talks and sleeps world problems — and scares men half to death.”  They weren't wrong. Thompson was a foreign correspondent in Germany in the years leading up to World War 2, and she broadcast to millions of listeners around the world. She became known for her bold commentaries on the rise of Hitler. The Nazis even created a “Dorothy Thompson Emergency Squad” to monitor her work. She was an eloquent and opinionated advocate for the principles of democracy. But by the end of the war, those strong opinions put her career in jeopardy. This is the story of the woman who tried to warn the world.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

"Ich traf Hitler" von Dorothy Thompson – Uwe Kullnick spricht mit Oliver Lubrich (Hrsg.) Gespräche zwischen Oliver Lubrich und Uwe Kullnick(Hördauer 58 Minuten) OLIVER LUBRICH ist Professor am Institut für Germanistik der Universität Bern und ein international renommierter Humboldt-Forscher. Seine Editionen von Humboldts großen Einzelwerken ›Kosmos‹ und ›Ansichten der Kordilleren‹ wurden zu Bestsellern. BEOBACHTUNGEN ZUR PSYCHOLOGIE DES FASCHISMUSDorothy Thompson traf Adolf Hitler im Berliner Hotel Kaiserhof zum Interview. Ihr Buch „I Saw Hitler!“ erschien 1932, kurz vor der Machtübernahme der Nationalsozialisten, und führte dazu, dass die Korrespondentin als erste ausländische Journalistin aus Nazi-Deutschland ausgewiesen wurde. »Ich traf Hitler!« ist Porträt und Psychogramm, Reportage und Essay in einem. Die amerikanische Beobachterin entwirft eine Theorie des Populismus, die heute von großer Aktualität ist. Sie analysiert Hitlers Propaganda und die Psychologie des »kleinen Mannes«, der sich in ihm wiedererkannte und seinen Aufstieg ermöglichte. Sie erfasst die Minderwertigkeitsgefühle eines »Mobs von Kleinbürgern« und seinen tiefverwurzelten Judenhass, aber auch die Beihilfe der Hohenzollern, die Verbindung mit den Konservativen und die Verantwortung des Auslands. Dorothy Thompson beschreibt eine Situation, in der Demokratien scheitern und Wahlen eine Diktatur herbeiführen können. Dorothy Thompsons »Ich traf Hitler!« erscheint nun erstmals in vollständiger deutscher Übersetzung, zusammen mit den 40 historischen Abbildungen der englischen Originalausgabe herausgegeben und mit einem umfangreichen Nachwort versehen von Prof. Oliver Lubrich (Universität Bern).

Meet Dorothy Thompson! We've mentioned her in past episodes and are delighted to bring her story to you all. Thompson was a powerful speaker and writer, who had her own syndicated column for over a decade, a radio broadcast, and long legacy of calling out oppression. Her work during both World Wars and beyond offered a very human way of encountering the news and documenting critical moments in World history. Join us this week to learn more about her life and work. 

This week, Annie tells Phoebe all about Dorothy Thompson, the first American journalist in history to be expelled from Germany (after meeting Hitler and calling him a 'little man') and was one of the few women news commentators broadcasting on radio during the 1930s.P.S. - If you have a spare 2 mins we'd greatly appreciate it if you could leave us a review.

The Tucker Carlson interview with Vladimir Putin is being censored through means other than blocking or banning, as it is available to access online and on social media for free. Censorship often comes in the form of disinformation and misinformation about a subject, coupled with a series of fallacious and even slanderous statements. Despite the fact that Putin is on the WEF list of Young Global Leaders, and despite Russia, like every country, engaging in their own propaganda war, the President nonetheless has a right to tell his side of the story. What is not right is the gas lighting, liable, slander, and fallacies engaged in by Hillary Clinton and John Kirby who separately said neither Carlson or Putin should be trusted simply because. Such censorship, and possibly fear of another perspective, is so intense that Carlson was put on what amounts to a ‘hit list' in Ukraine, while the EU is supposedly discussing sanctioning him, and the United States is discussing dragging him through court for Espionage. So much for freedom of the press, especially considering Dan Rather interviewed Saddam Hussein, John Miller interviewed Osama bin Laden, and both William Randolph Hearst and Dorothy Thompson interviewed Adolf Hitler. How can Americans talk about freedoms and ending war, especially in Ukraine, when we act like this about free press; when Ukraine has shut down political opposition, the press, and religious organizations, on top of decreeing there would be no talks or peace with Russia, and while the US continues to supply weapons and endless funds; how can Putin be totally insane when what he says seems so reasonable and specific, providing a 2 hour history lesson, taking years to finally act, pointing out all the times Russia was lied to about NATO, and while the western response is, ‘he's Putin', ‘he's lying', ‘he had no reasoning', especially while providing no context? How can we trust Ukraine's leadership when they have repeatedly lied about the Ghost of Kiev, Snake Island, and the missile that hit Poland? How can anyone in the US accuse Putin of stealing land or obsses over why Ukraine needs to protect its borders, when we simultaneously support Israel and neglect our own border? Something overall just doesn't add up, and one doesn't have to be a Putin-apologist to see the inconsistencies. -FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioWEBSITE, BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE YEARLY: http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.co

Dorothy Thompson was the leading journalist of the 1930s and 1940s, considered as influential as Eleanor Roosevelt. After becoming the first foreign correspondent to be expelled from Germany by Hitler, Thompson advised President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, testified to Congress, and destroyed the public career of American aviator and Nazi medal-recipient Charles Lindbergh with the power of her pen. She crashed the 1939 Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden and heckled over 20,000 American Nazis until the police had to drag her out, and she warned the world relentlessly about fascism and its useful idiots in the U.S., like America First. Her warnings inspired her husband Sinclair Lewis, the first American to win the Nobel Prize for literature, to write It Can't Happen Here, the now classic novel about the rise of an American dictator. That novel and Thompson's 1941 essay for Harper's “Who Goes Nazi?”, her macabre game on how to tell who among you at a dinner party would become a Nazi, went viral when Trump came to power in 2016.  In this special episode, Andrea interviews Peter Kurth, author of American Cassandra: The Life of Dorothy Thompson, which helped inspire Andrea's latest screenplay based on Thompson and her urgent lessons for us today.

While this news broke after we recorded this week's episode, Gaslit Nation would like to congratulate the Colorado Supreme Court for being on the right side of history! With Trump disqualified from being on the ballot in Colorado, it's now up to the Supreme Court, which Trump packed, to take up the case. However things go, it's nice to finally see some justice for Trump's massive treason, though small at this very late stage. Terrell Starr of the essential Black Diplomats podcast is back on Gaslit Nation to discuss the latest polling revealing a generational split in the Democratic electorate when it comes to Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas War, especially the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank, and Israel's widely documented unchecked war crimes. The discussion includes the path forward to resolve the conflict, lessons from Ukraine, and why the Far Left needs to be morally consistent when it comes to foreign policy and elevating the voices of regional experts. In this week's bonus show, out later this week for our supporters at the Truth-teller level and higher, Terrell and Andrea discuss Zelensky vs. Orban and why Ukraine finally entering the European Union matters for security in Europe and the U.S. Orban is the darling of the America First crowd, but as Zelensky and the adults in the room of the E.U. showed, he's just another scared “little man,” as the journalist Dorothy Thompson called the strongmen she covered, from Mussolini to Hitler to Stalin, during the 1930s.

Speak, even when your voice shakes, and you feel like rage crying. This special episode provides greater historical context to Israel and Palestine, elevates voices on the frontlines of the humanitarian crisis, demands an immediate ceasefire and a united global democratic alliance to end the genocide of Palestinians, and amplifies the calls for a political solution.  The crisis cannot be solved militarily. The bombs raining down on the open air prison of Gaza is a genocide–another Nakba, the Arabic word for “catastrophe”–which in 1948 saw the brutal mass forced displacement of around a million Palestinians with the founding of Israel. We're witnessing the long awaited war by indicted corrupt criminal and Putin ally Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's longest serving prime minister, desperate to cling to power, even if that means turning Israel into another theocratic dictatorship in the region. The racist, genocidal movement that assassinated former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin for signing the Oslo Accords, a path towards peace and potentially a two-state solution, brought Netanyahu to power. And now his government of Stephen Millers is determined to finish off Palestinians, mass-murdering several thousands, including a significant number of children.  Secretary of State Antony Blinken published a call for a ceasefire on Twitter, only to delete it after Republicans protested. That and more of the US response, what it means for the civilians on both sides of the conflict, the US election and more are discussed in this extra furious episode. This week's bonus episode will include answers to questions submitted by listeners subscribed at the Democracy Defender level and higher, and a special on-the-ground look at the upcoming Virginia state elections and the recent voter-purge by Governor Glenn Youngkin.

They're the descendants of refugees who were expelled, or fled in fear, during Israel's war of independence in 1948. They live in what Human Rights Watch has called an “open-air prison,” penned in by an Israeli state that — with help from Egypt — rations everything that goes in and out, from tomatoes to the travel documents children need to get lifesaving medical care.

Die US-amerikanische Journalistin Dorothy Thompson hat im Dezember 1931 Adolf Hitler getroffen. In ihrer berühmt gewordenen Reportage porträtiert sie ihn als Verkörperung des „Kleinen Mannes“. Sie geht seiner ungeheuren Wirkung nach und ergründet dabei zugleich die Psychologie einer Gemeinschaft von vermeintlich Zukurzgekommenen. Rezension von Holger Heimann. Aus dem Englischen von Johanna von Koppenfels DVB Verlag, 268 Seiten, 26 Euro ISBN 978-3-903244-23-8

Dorothy Thompson fue una destacada periodista y escritora estadounidense que desafió valientemente al régimen nazi y advirtió sobre el peligro que representaba Adolf Hitler mucho antes de que el mundo se diera cuenta. A través de su columna en el periódico New York Herald Tribune, Thompson denunció el ascenso de Hitler y advirtió sobre las consecuencias desastrosas que tendría su ideología y su ambición de poder. Su valiente voz y sus incisivos análisis fueron vitales para despertar la conciencia mundial sobre la amenaza que representaba el régimen nazi. Dorothy Thompson se convirtió en un faro de verdad en una época oscura y su legado perdura como un ejemplo de periodismo comprometido y valiente.

This week, historian and author Deborah Cohen discusses her book Last Call at the Hotel Imperial: The Reporters Who Took on a World at War. Cohen is joined in conversation by Daniel Greene, President and Librarian at the Newberry Library. The following conversation originally took place at the American Writers Festival on May 15, 2022 and was recorded live. AWM PODCAST NETWORK HOME More about Last Call at the Hotel Imperial: A prize-winning historian's "effervescent" (The New Yorker) account of a close-knit band of wildly famous American reporters who, in the run-up to World War II, took on dictators and rewrote the rules of modern journalism. They were an astonishing group: glamorous, gutsy, and irreverent to the bone. As cub reporters in the 1920s, they roamed across a war-ravaged world, sometimes perched atop mules on wooden saddles, sometimes gliding through countries in the splendor of a first-class sleeper car. While empires collapsed and fledgling democracies faltered, they chased deposed empresses, international financiers, and Balkan gun-runners, and then knocked back doubles late into the night. Last Call at the Hotel Imperial is the extraordinary story of John Gunther, H. R. Knickerbocker, Vincent Sheean, and Dorothy Thompson. In those tumultuous years, they landed exclusive interviews with Hitler and Mussolini, Nehru and Gandhi, and helped shape what Americans knew about the world. Alongside these backstage glimpses into the halls of power, they left another equally incredible set of records. Living in the heady afterglow of Freud, they subjected themselves to frank, critical scrutiny and argued about love, war, sex, death, and everything in between. Plunged into successive global crises, Gunther, Knickerbocker, Sheean, and Thompson could no longer separate themselves from the turmoil that surrounded them. To tell that story, they broke long-standing taboos. From their circle came not just the first modern account of illness in Gunther's Death Be Not Proud—a memoir about his son's death from cancer—but the first no-holds-barred chronicle of a marriage: Sheean's Dorothy and Red, about Thompson's fractious relationship with Sinclair Lewis. Told with the immediacy of a conversation overheard, this revelatory book captures how the global upheavals of the twentieth century felt up close.

On the first sitting of the new Reichstag, the 107 Nazi Members of Parliament deliberately create chaos. But with the Nazis now the second largest group in Parliament, foreign newspapers have to start taking Hitler seriously – even if he can be hard to pin down. Rarely rising before 11am, and not often in his office, he's more usually to be found in a nearby café, cramming his face with cream cakes. One way or another, Dorothy must land an interview with him.

By 1929, Berlin may be cross-dressing and dancing to jazz but governments still rise and fall with banana-republican regularity. As Chief Foreign Correspondent for the New York Post, it's Dorothy Thompson's job to report on this maelstrom. And in Berlin she meets (and too quickly marries) Sinclair Lewis, novelist, alcoholic and soon-to-be Nobel Laureate. Meanwhile, Joseph Goebbels, now Party District Chief for Berlin is generating daily street disturbances, Jewish-owned department stores are one of his favourite targets. And now forced to choose between Hitler's Nationalism and Strasser's Socialism, which way will he jump?

In 1939, Dorothy Thompson was on the cover of Time, the ‘First Lady of American journalism' and a major celebrity. By 1945, she'd been widely dismissed as a crank.Deborah Friedell joins Tom to discuss Thompson's enormous influence in interwar America, and her idiosyncratic mix of prescience and short-sightedness.See further reading on the podcast page: https://lrb.me/dorothythompsonSubscribe to Close Readings: https://lrb.me/closereadingsGet in touch: podcasts@lrb.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

The role of foreign correspondents, especially during times of war, can be extraordinarily important not only in shaping public perceptions and strategic decisionmaking at the highest level, but also in informing on revolutionary shifts in social norms, as these reporters find themselves bringing their personal lives into the public and the newsmaking process into their own relationships. In Deborah Cohen's kaleidoscopic ensemble biography, "Last Call at the Hotel Imperial," the reader is given unprecedented access to the personal lives of legendary American reporters John Gunther, H. R. Knickerbocker, James Vincent “Jimmy” Sheean and Dorothy Thompson as they reported on the rise of fascism in Europe and the gradual impending horror of what was to come. In her conversation with Robert Amsterdam about the book, Cohen, who is a history professor at Northwestern University, discusses the incredible intimacy of how her subjects experienced the cultural changes that were taking place in the background in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. Cohen describes it not only as a geopolitical history told through these colorful and glamorous journalists, but a book of personal history, of people discovering that they could not live the way that their parents did, and how the actualization of these new personal freedoms interacted with their careers.

The 1930s are back! But this time, we're fighting dictators, wannabe dictators, and their propagandists on cable TV and social media platforms. Since the 1930s have returned, super-charged with new tech weapons, we should bring some of the heroes of the 1930s back, too. Enter historian Deborah Cohen, the author of Last Call at the Hotel Imperial, a riveting look at the generation of leading journalists who risked everything to rage against the machine.    Some of the journalists she highlights in her book are sadly not as remembered as they should be today given that they helped win the war against the Nazis on American soil. One of the journalists in particular is Dorothy Thompson, a one-woman crusade against Hitler who she originally laughed off in her 1931 interview. Hitler never forgot it and suspended her Twitter account, we mean, kicked her out of Germany, once he took over. Thompson went on to confront the Republican isolationist Congress, Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford, and the rest of the America First KKKlown Kar with her fierce independent journalism and moral clarity, even getting kicked out of the Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden. We bring back these heroes to see what inspiration and other lessons we need for today.    In our very special bonus episode, we let loose on what TV shows and films we're watching to self-care and why. Television is something that we both take seriously, for different reasons, as we share in this discussion which covers a lot of ground on the importance and impact of culture in a time of encroaching autocracy.

We might now be used to hearing about the intimate details of celebrities and world leaders, but when did this become the norm?In the lead up to the Second World War, a collection of American journalists began to report not only on world affairs - interviewing Hitler, Gandhi and Mussolini to name a few - but also private affairs, their own and those of others.Today, Kate is Betwixt the Sheets with Deborah Cohen to find out about the reporters John Gunther, Frances Fineman Gunther, H.

He wrote, My verdure begins to recover its bloom.. in this country, nobody pays his debts like rain. It may destroy your flowers, but you cannot complain of want of fruit; cherries, apples, walnuts, are more exuberant than their leaves.   1893 Birth of Dorothy Thompson, American journalist and radio broadcaster. She is remembered as the First Lady of American Journalism. In 1934, Dorothy was the first American journalist to be expelled from Nazi Germany. In her final book, The Courage to Be Happy (1957), she wrote: I am inclined to think that the flowers we must love are those we knew when we were very young, when our senses were most acute to color into smell, and our natures most lyrical.   1933 Birth of Oliver Sacks, British neurologist, naturalist, historian of science, and writer. I once watched a video featuring Dr. Oliver Sacks, who practiced medicine in NYC across from the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG). In the video, Oliver reflected on the garden and its meaning. I've cobbled together a few of his inspiring thoughts. Here's what he said: I think of this garden as a treasure. First, it's a haven. In a noisy, crowded New York, we need a haven; we wander around, and time doesn't matter too much. When I worked at the hospital opposite the garden, I used to come in every day. Specifically, I would come in after seeing my patients but before writing up my notes. And, I would walk around the garden and put everything out of consciousness except the plants and the air. But, by the time I got back, the patient's story would have crystallized in my mind [and then] I could then write it straight away. But I needed this sort of incubation in the garden, and to go for a walk in the garden; that sort of thing is an essential thing for me in writing. I think nature has a healing effect; the garden the closest one can come to nature. The garden has affected me and does affect me in various ways; it's not just the pleasure of walking around but [also] the very special virtues of the library and the museum and the fact that, in some ways, this is a university as well as a garden. I just feel very comfortable in the garden, and whenever people come to New York from out of town or out of the country, I say let's go to the garden. I would like to quote a couple of lines from a TS Eliot poem: Oh, do not ask, 'What is it?' Let us go and make our visit.   In his book, The River of Consciousness, Oliver wrote, While most of the flowers in the garden had rich scents and colors, we also had two magnolia trees, with huge but pale and scentless flowers. The magnolia flowers, when ripe, would be crawling with tiny insects, little beetles. Magnolias, my mother explained, were among the most ancient of flowering plants and had appeared nearly a hundred million years ago, at a time when “modern” insects like bees had not yet evolved, so they had to rely on a more ancient insect, a beetle, for pollination. Bees and butterflies, flowers with colors and scents, were not preordained, waiting in the wings—and they might never have appeared. They would develop together, in infinitesimal stages, over millions of years. The idea of a world without bees or butterflies, without scent or color, affected me with a sense of awe.   2021 On this day, India's first cryptogamic garden, with nearly fifty different species, is opened.  Cryptogams are non-seed-bearing plants. These primitive plants do not reproduce through seeds, for example, algae, bryophytes (moss, liverworts), lichens, ferns, fungi, etc. The garden is located in the Deoban area of Dehradun in Uttarakhand and is situated at 9000 feet and spread over three acres.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Botany for the Artist by Sarah Simblet ("Sim-blit") This book came out in 2020, and the subtitle is An Inspirational Guide to Drawing Plants. In this book, Sarah Simblet takes you on an inspirational journey of creativity and botanical art as she demonstrates how to draw virtually every type of plant. As Sarah writes in the forward, This book was inspired by my love of gardening, a desire to know more about the structures, forms, and lives of plants, and an opportunity to spend a whole year exploring wild landscapes and the fabulous collections of the University of Oxford Botanic Garden and Oxford University Herbaria. These collections generously gave or lent me hundreds of pieces of plants to draw or have photographed for this book. Botany for the Artist features around 550 species, chosen to represent almost every kind of plant and habitat on Earth. Gorgeous, unfamiliar exotics are celebrated alongside more common plants, to show the beauty and wonder of the bird-of-paradise flower and the pavement milk thistle, tropical forest fruits and the orchard apple, giant pine cones, and tufts of city moss. Fungi, and some species of algae, are not scientifically classified as plants, but are featured here because they are fabulous to draw and fascinating in themselves.   Then Sarah points out the exponential understanding of a plant that occurs when you draw it. She wrote, Drawing is a... direct and universal language, as old as humankind.  If you spend just one hour drawing a plant, you will understand it far better than if you spent the same hour only looking at it. There is something in the physical act of drawing, the coordination of the hand and eye, and the translation of sensory experience into marks and lines that reveals an entirely new way of seeing.  Artists know this, but it is something we can all experience if we draw. And time spent drawing is a revelation, regardless of the results.   Finally, Sarah's book is written in a very friendly tone. She encourages artists to just get started and to use live specimens. She wrote, Books of advice, classes, and looking at the works of other artists will help you greatly, but you can also learn how to draw simply by doing it. The first step is to simply have a go. I always draw from real plants-never photographs -- because plants are three dimensional and were once alive, even if they are no longer. They are physically present, and can move, change, and challenge the person drawing them. An artist's relationship with their subject is always innately expressed in their work... Throughout this book, Sam Scott-Hunter's photographs reveal subtle insights that could not be captured in drawing. They also magnify many details so we can look very closely Into them. I have drawn most plants life-size, for comparison, and also to convey the excitement of giant-sized objects. This diversity is just one characteristic of the vast kingdom of plants that surrounds us all, and it is always there, just outside our door, waiting to be explored.   This book is 256 pages of botanical drawings - from exotics to mosses to towering trees. Join Sarah on an illustrated tour of the plant kingdom and deepen your powers of botanical observation, understanding, and appreciation.  You can get a copy of Botany for the Artist by Sarah Simblet and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $18.   Botanic Spark 1824 Mary Russell Mitford writes to Benjamin Robert Haydon to describe her garden: My little garden is a perfect rosary - the greenest and most blossomy nook that ever the sun shone upon. It is almost shut in by buildings; one a long open shed, very pretty, a sort of rural arcade where we sit. All and every part is untrimmed, antique, weatherstained, and homely as can be imagined - gratifying the eye by its exceeding picturesqueness, and the mind by the certainty that no pictorial effect was intended - that it owes all its charms to "rare accident."   The previous day, Mary wrote to her dear friend, Emily Jephson (July 10, 1824), and shared her thoughts on the garden as a form of power and fulfillment for women. She wrote,  I am so glad you have a little demesne (dih-MAYN) of your own too;  It is a pretty thing to be queen over roses and lilies, is it not?   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

In the 1930s, the biggest American media celebrities were four foreign correspondents: Dorothy Thompson, John Gunther, H.R. Knickerbocker, and Vincent Sheehan. They were household names in their heyday, as famous as their novel-writing Lost Generation counterparts, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. They helped shape what Americans knew about the world between the two World Wars by landing exclusive interviews with the epic political figures of their day, including Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco, as well as Trotsky, Gandhi, Nehru, Churchill, and FDR. But they also went beyond state press releases and listened closely to dissidents in European nations and heard alarming reports of violence against these authoritarian regimes. And they made waves at home and abroad. H.R. Knickerbocker was the only foreign reporter whose dispatches Mussolini bothered to read. Goebbels called Knickerbocker an “international liar and counterfeiter.” John Gunther shot to fame with the book Inside Europe (1936), arguing that “unresolved personal conflicts in the lives of various European politicians may contribute to the collapse of our civilization.”These reporters warned their readers that the dictators wouldn't be satisfied with the territories they conquered. They vehemently objected to policies of appeasement, and they predicted the coming of the Second World War, putting together the stories they covered—the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935, the Spanish Civil War that broke out the next year, the 1938 German annexation of Austria, and the carve-up of Czechoslovakia in the Munich Agreement—to make startlingly accurate judgments about what would come next. The story of these four journalists – and how they changed the news media irrevocably – is told by today's guest Deborah Cohen, author of Last Call at the Hotel Imperial: The Reporters Who Took on a World at War. We see how these figures told the major stories of the day as reporters but also shaped them as opinion columnists and book authors. Contests over objectivity in the media aren't new to the 21st century but age-old. These conflicts about taking sides heated up to a boiling point in the 1930s. Were reporters eyewitnesses or advocates? How far should they go in trying to shape public opinion? We'll get into all that and more in this episode.

Author Deborah Cohen joined Rick Kogan to discuss her book, ‘Last Call at the Hotel Imperial: The Reporters Who Took on a World at War.’ The book details the story of reporters John Gunther, H. R. Knickerbocker, Vincent Sheean, and Dorothy Thompson as they conducted interviews with the likes of Hitler, Mussolini, and Gandhi, among […]

The book is called "Last Call at the Hotel Imperial: The Reporters Who Took on a World at War." The author is Deborah Cohen, a professor at Northwestern University. Prof. Cohen primarily focuses on four American journalists who traveled the world in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s: H.R. Knickerbocker, Vincent "Jimmy" Sheean, Dorothy Thompson, and John Gunther. These reporters landed exclusive interviews with Hitler, Mussolini, Nehru and Gandhi and helped shape what Americans at the time knew about the world.       Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, our time machine welcomes aboard journalists John Gunther, H. R. Knickerbocker, Vincent Sheean, and Dorothy Thompson, who have do their job before and during the war, confronting the likes of Hitler and Mussolini, but also isolationist forces who think dictators might not be so bad. Deborah Cohen is the author of The War Come Home: Disabled Veterans in Britain and Germany, 1914-1939, Household Gods: The British and Their Possessions, and Family Secrets.

We're headed to the countryside today, deep in the heart of Vermont to chat with John Graham, the Managing Director of Twin Farms. Thinking of Vermont conjures up images of fall foliage glinting fiery orange, red, and gold. You might also smell sweet maple syrup or warm apple cider, and imagine yourself in an historic general store, covered bridge, or barn. At Twin Farms, one of the most talked about hotels in America, you can experience all this and much more. The 300 acres making up the farm was purchased in the 20s by Nobel Prize winning author, Sinclair Lewis as a wedding present for his journalist wife, Dorothy Thompson. Their story and the story of owners before and after - add to the charm of the experience. John and I discuss hidden secrets about the property, what Vermont is like in spring, and how this little farm in the middle of nowhere offers some of the most luxurious service on the continent.  Learn more at www.luxtravelinsider.com Connect with me on Social: Instagram LinkedIn

The Kiss - The Women who made a Movie Masterpiece Episode 13. A Series of Violences. When war breaks out, Christa is in France working on a film with G. W. Pabst. She decides to travel to the Cote D'Azur and sit out the war with other emigre writers and artists. But her decision sets in motion what her former lover Dorothy Thompson later describes as a "series of violences". As The Kiss draws to an end, we discover the fates of the women we have grown to know so well. www.tempestproductions.net For more background information to go with the series visit https://haferdinand.com/the-kiss-the-women-who-made-a-movie-masterpiece/

The first thing the children wanted to do was have the Power of Attorney, Will and Trust tested for authenticity.  I agreed because, again, I was sure this would resolve any concerns they had regarding me in the disappearance of their father.  Don had disowned them a couple of years prior so they didn't know anything about our personal relationship except what Anne was feeding them, and that was  nothing but lies.   Peter Candler reviewed the documents and said they were all genuine in his written report.  Willa Smith, hired by the children, said she questioned the Power and the Will, but gave no written report (to my knowledge)  J.J. Berrie examined the documents and agreed that they were Don's signature.  Ray Green reviewed the Trust and said it was genuine.   All of the witnesses and Notary on the documents provided Affidavits stating that they saw Don sign them and that he understood what he signed and that he was competent to do so.  Last week I discovered that in all of the Will Contests where forgery was alleged, the judges gave more credence to the unimpeachable witnesses than to expert witness opinion.   I sent the following to Detectives Lingo and Fernandez today:   After speaking with the two of you last week I have had a few other thoughts.  It looks suspicious to me that Anne is the beneficiary of such a huge life insurance policy and how she and the kids are all behaving like they are sure Don isn't going to come back in and blow them all away.  I guess the kids feel like they couldn't be any worse off since they know Don wouldn't even speak to them, but Anne is taking a terrible risk by acting this way.  Even she won't be able to fast talk her way out of this one.    The children are now trying to say that the Power of Attorney that Don gave me, the Will and the Trust documents were forgeries and therefore their father has died “intestate”, making half of the estate theirs.  They are in an awful big hurry to say their dad is dead and are trying to make it look like I have killed him  (I guess to free up more of the estate for them) and that I forged the documents.  They claim to have hired a handwriting expert who did ink tests and evaluations of the documents to prove that they are forgeries, which I find an amazing feat since I have possession of the originals.  I have gathered the witnesses and the notary to the documents and had them prepare affidavits as to the validity of the documents, but this has made me aware of just how far these people are going to destroy what Don & I have worked so hard for all these years.    I had just offered to transfer to them the properties that I had put into their trust (most of the stuff Don owned when we got married) which amounts to about 1,200,000.00 because even if Don comes back, I don't want to work for them any longer with the way they are behaving and although Don had told me to dissolve their trust, he'll get over it someday.  They know if Don comes back they will get nothing, so they must be pretty sure he isn't coming back or they don't care what lies they get caught in since Don disowned them anyway.  They have nothing to lose and nine million dollars to gain.  More than anyone else though, Anne knows that the Trust, Will and Power of Attorney are valid because she had the old originals from 1992 hidden under her desk.  If she thought they were forged, surely she would have asked Don at some point in the last five years, especially since she was the notary on some of them.    Something I guess I should tell you guys is that Gladys Lewis Cross (the kid's mom) had tried to kill Don on at least three occasions that he told me about.  I remember that the first time he said that Gladys had found out about him and Dorothy (Thompson) and she came flying into the lot and tried to run Don down with the new car he had just bought for her.  On another occasion, when she found out about Janie (who worked at the post office) she tried to shoot Don and they got in a fist fight over the gun.  He was successful in wrestling it away from her, but she clawed up his face pretty badly.  He said he had to almost knock her out to get the gun away from her because she was so intent on killing him.    The third time was over a girl (I think it was her niece Tammy that she later divorced him over) and she tried to run him down in a mall parking lot and ran into a light pole, trashing another car, but missing Don.  Could she have been so angry over not getting the million dollars more that she thought she would get, that she would kill Don in a last ditch effort to recover the money she felt he owed her for all her suffering?  She could have felt she was “protecting” her girls by doing that and insuring that he didn't waste any more of it on the animals.    Even if she doesn't have anything to do with Don's disappearance, I expect that she is behind much of the posturing the kids are doing now.  I think her allegiance with Anne has been underestimated for a long time.  I believed that Anne had quit backing Gladys over Don after their divorce, but recently when Gladys was suing us for more money, Anne refused to admit in Court that Don told her to find a million dollars of his best assets for Gladys and the children as they all sat around the table at Gladys house that night, prior to their divorce.  Anne has always said she knew that to be the truth and that she was there and that Gladys was given access to all the books, until it recently went to Court and then Anne changed her story and said that none of that ever happened.  She had no reason to lie to me about that before so I'd have to assume she was lying when she said it didn't. If her alliance was with Gladys then of course she would not say the words that would blow Gladys out of the water.   In the suit for more money, Gladys was expecting over a million and ended up with $50,000.00 paid to her this year.  I expect most of that went to her Attorney.  Don has had other women throughout their entire marriage and Gladys knew about most or all of them, so it wasn't like it was some huge surprise to her on the three occasions she tried to kill him.  It apparently didn't take much to set her off then, so how much of a disappointment over this lawsuit going south it take for her to try again, especially if she could make it look like I did it.  The only question then becomes, where is the body and what “evidence” is going to be left in plain sight?   In the same folder is a hand written note to the same detectives and copies but it's not dated and I think I gave them these documents earlier.  It says: The following are copies of Don's Wills from here and Costa Rica along with the supporting documents.  I would like to offer, in writing, to pay for the expenses involved in sending Hillsborough County Detectives to Costa Rica to locate my husband, as I believe you would do a more thorough and honest job than an agency from the phone book.  - Carole Lewis

In this episode, we talk with historian and socialist-feminist Sheila Rowbotham about her own political and intellectual development. Rowbotham was a close friend of Edward and Dorothy Thompson, a participant in the radical movements of the 1960s and 1970s, and a prominent political writer and historian. We also discuss Chapters 12 and 13: the different meanings of discipline in working-class life, the Irish presence, and class-struggle elections in ninteenth-century Westminster.

In this little wrap-up of Season 2, Joe & Josh discuss Dorothy Thompson's famous 1941 Harper's essay "Who Goes Nazi?" In it, Thompson asked readers to look around the room at their next dinner party and guess who would collaborate with a fascist government in the United States. This piece, and the grim parlor game it describes, made the rounds on social media immediately before and after Donald Trump's election, and it has a lot to say about the personality types that are attracted to far-right movements, and maps pretty well on to the profiles we've read this season of major Alt-Right figures. We also tease our topic for Season 3, which hopefully will get to record before the world actually ends."Who Goes Nazi?" by Dorothy Thompson, Harper's, 1941https://harpers.org/archive/1941/08/who-goes-nazi/Let us know what you think: essayquestionspodcast@gmail.com
