Podcasts about ed murrow

For this bonus episode I've teamed up with the excellent History Daily podcast. Very exciting! History Daily tells fascinating stories of what happened “on this day” in history with a new episode every weekday.The early 1950s in the USA stand out as not just a time of economic prosperity but also one of paranoia. The country faced the fear of the atomic bomb, the Red Scare and a moral panic around juvenile delinquency. (Teenagers were new and unpredictable!)During this time Joseph McCarthy's power to seek out and persecute perceived communists was at its peak but the tide was about to turn. In 1954 it took journalist Ed Murrow guts to stand up to the influential senator.You can learn more about History Daily on their website here. (And please just indulge me in telling you that it is a complete coincidence that this episode release aligns with this day in history! 9th March 1954 is when Ed Murrow aired his report on Joseph McCarthy!)You can hear more from me on social media platforms Threads, Instagram and somewhat gingerly also on Bluesky.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers It's a little after midnight on the morning of Monday January 9th. We're at P.J. Clarke's on the corner of 55th street and 3rd avenue, getting warm the best way we know how. The weather is nasty outside. It's about fifteen degrees with freezing rain and gale force winds. Clarke's is a bar from another time. It's wonderfully trapped in nostalgia—all burnished wood and chased mirrors. Orson Welles is opening King Lear at The City Center to good reviews. The years in Europe did him well, but he's happy to be back in New York. Welles is in the back with none other than Frank Sinatra. They've known each other since the 1930s, and since they both missed each other's fortieth birthdays last year, we're celebrating. Joining us is Jilly Rizzo and Bill Stern. The next round of drinks is on me. That's Daniel Levazzo. He bought the bar from the Clarke family a few years ago. Hey Dan, three Jacks straight up, a negroni for Orson, and I'll have Hendricks on the rocks. You want something? Hey Dan, let me borrow your phone, I've got to file my story. Hello Operator, give me CBS at 485 Madison Avenue please. (Beat) Yes I know what time it is. I'm a producer there. (Beat) Put me through. (Beat) Thank you. Some things never change. Hello Cindy, it's Scully. Is Ed Murrow still there? (Beat) Could you put me through to him? (Beat) Thank you. (Beat) Hey Ed, It's James Scully. I'm glad I caught you. Bill Paley's got you burning the midnight oil huh? (Beat) I did. Orson was good. I'm a P.J. Clarke's with him and Sinatra right now. Bill Stern's here too. You want to swing by? I'll get Dan Levazzo to break out the moonshine. (Beat) With those two? We'll be here a while. (Beat) Ha! Ok I'll see you soon. Ed Murrow's a good man. The gang will be happy to see him. Dan, Do me a favor, turn the TV up for a second. The Tonight Show with Steve Allen is just finishing on NBC-TV and there's a little news item on the tube before programming signs off. Everyone is talking about Grace Kelly's engagement to Prince Rainier III of Monaco. It was announced in Philadelphia on January 5th and their party is going to be at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel here in New York. Grace and Rainier went their separate ways on Saturday. She's going back to Hollywood to keep working on High Society. The only thing is, one of her co-stars is Sinatra, and he'll be in no mood to fly to the coast tomorrow. That's not the only talk of love and marriage going on around New York City. Look at that Sunday Daily News cover. Heiress Juliette Wehle stood up her husband-to-be on their wedding day. She supposedly slipped away at 2AM wearing just a negligee to elope with another man. Don't worry, it's not a roving producer from CBS. The twenty-year-old heiress later returned home, unmarried. Excuse me, I'm missing out on the fun. Oh, before I go, I should say that the story of a woman jilting one man for another is ironically a centerpiece in the upcoming plot within Yours Truly Johnny Dollar's “The Todd Matter.” The first episode will air later tonight at 8:15PM over CBS radio. And remember, it stars Bob Bailey.

Written off as a mere courtesan and social climber, her true legacy was overshadowed by a glamorous social life and her infamous erotic adventures. Much of what she did behind the scenes – on both sides of the Atlantic - remained invisible and secret. That is, until now: with a wealth of fresh research, interviews and newly discovered sources, Sonia Purnell unveils for the first time the full, spectacular story of how she left an indelible mark on the world today. At age 20 Churchill's beloved daughter-in-law became a “secret weapon” during World War II, strategically wining, dining, and seducing diplomats and generals to help win over American sentiment (and secrets) to the British cause against Hitler. After the war, she helped to transform Fiat heir Gianni Agnelli into Italy's ‘uncrowned king' on the international stage and after moving to the US brought a struggling Democratic party back to life, hand-picking Bill Clinton from obscurity and vaulting him to the presidency. Picked as Ambassador to France, she deployed her legendary subtle powers to charm world leaders and help efforts to bring peace to Bosnia, playing her part in what was arguably the high-water mark of American global supremacy. There are few at any time who have operated as close to the center of power over five decades and two continents, and there is practically no one in 20th Century politics, culture, and fashion whose lives she did not touch, including the Kennedys, Truman Capote, Aly Khan, Kay Graham, Gloria Steinem, Ed Murrow, and Frank Sinatra. Written with the novelistic richness and investigative rigor that only Sonia Purnell could bring to this story full of sex, politics, yachts, palaces and fabulous clothes, KINGMAKER re-asserts Harriman's rightful place at the heart of history. 1963 Harriman and Acheson

See Less The Valley by Chris Hammer Nell Buchanan and Ivan Lucic are back – and Nell is thrown into her most emotionally fraught investigation yet. A controversial entrepreneur is murdered in a remote mountain valley, but this is no ordinary case. Ivan and Nell are soon contending with cowboy lawyers, conmen, bullion thieves and grave robbers. But it's when Nell discovers the victim is a close blood relative that the past begins to take on a looming significance. What did take place in The Valley all those years ago? What was Nell's mother doing there, and what was her connection to troubled young police officer Simmons Burnside? And why do the police hierarchy insist Ivan and Nell stay with the case despite an obvious conflict of interest? LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this summertime edition of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present audio from "Evergreen Radio: LIVE," a special event focused on the past, present and especially the future of radio in the Pacific Northwest. In this archival panel discussion, a group of radio professionals from around Washington weigh in on where the medium had been and where it was headed in 2015. Panelists include Ricardo Garcia of Radio Cadena; Jeff Hansen of KUOW; Tom Mara of KEXP; LPFM advocate Sabrina Roach; Dave Ross of KIRO Newsradio; and Kerry Swanson of NW Public Radio. The event was co-produced by CASCADE OF HISTORY producer/host Feliks Banel and Olivia Weitz. It was taped before a live audience at the Richland, WA campus of Washington State University on April 25, 2015 - Ed Murrow's birthday - and was a project of the Edward R. Murrow College, with financial support from Humanities Washington. This episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally broadcast at 8pm Pacific Time on Sunday, September 1, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

This track is a follow-up to the broadcast of Drew Pearson's track. Walter Winchell was nothing like Drew Pearson, but it is interesting to hear what millions of Americans (and beyond) were hearing on radio as World War II was approaching the end. This was broadcast on February 25. 1945... less than three months before the end of the war in Europe and about 6 months before the Pacific war with Japan ended. Listening to what millions of people heard on the radio through the broadcasts of people like Walter Winchell, Drew Pearson, Ed Murrow and others... is a lesson in the reality and culture of those WW II years...We must not forget what happened, because as we get further away from those times...younger generations know nothing of the horrors of a generation... and forgetting or not being taught about the horrors can lead to repeating them or worse. This track will be stored in the "History of Radio" playlist.

"This just might do nobody any good." Sage words from Ed Murrow to begin a rant about the waste land television had become.  This episode is dedicated to another priceless piece of property we are laying waste to...Mother Earth. And, woe is us! How will it all end?   Stay tuned, as they say. Our future will be what we make or break of it. Written & Narrated by Xavier Combe Sound Design by Jim Hall

L'informazione televisiva (quella onesta) entra nel radar dell'attenzione di George Clooney, che alla sua seconda prova come regista dà spazio alla storia di Ed Murrow che nel 1953 condusse dagli studi della CBS una dura battaglia contro il senatore McCarthy propugnatore delle liste di proscrizione contro i 'comunisti' che causarono perdite di lavoro, incentivazioni della delazione e anche suicidi tracciando una pagina nera della storia americana. In un mondo in bianco e nero in pieno stile anni '50.

En este episodio, hablamos del capítulo 3 del libro de Bessel Van der Kolk "The body keeps the record", un capítulo que permite entender cómo el trauma afecta distintas áreas del cerebro, tales como el área de Broca, el córtex visual o bien el área límbica. "El trauma es pre-verbal" , afirma Van Der Kolk. "Las personas no mejoran si no pueden sentir lo que sienten ysi no saben lo que saben" Ed Murrow, después de regresar de su reportaje acerca del campo de Buchenwald: "  "I pray you believe what i have said. I reported what I saw and heard, but only a part of it. For most of it I have no words". Puedes dejar tus comentarios en la siguiente página y grabarlos: https://anchor.fm/mel88888Buzzsprout -Puedes empezar tu podcast HOY.

TRUMP IS REALLY, REALLY, SCREWED A BLOCK (1:50) SPECIAL COMMENT: A Justice Department photo shows at least five bright yellow TOP SECRET/SCI files strewn on a gaudy carpet. Some pictures are worth a thousand words - this mind-blowing one looks like it's worth 10 to 20 in a Supermax for Trump. The DOJ answer to Trump's ill-conceived "Special Master" suit is released early Wednesday morning and in it, Trump destroys his own defense that he "declassified" all the documents, as government agents swear Trump did NOT assert Executive Privilege over any of the documents he turned over in June, nor did he claim any of them had been declassified. There are countless lesser Trump self-destructions in the DOJ filing that add up to Obstruction of Justice, Concealing Classified Documents, and Falsely Sworn Documents - and all this is BEFORE WE EVEN KNOW FOR SURE WHAT'S IN THE DOCUMENTS. (7:20) And this may not even be the worst news of the day for Trump. President Biden is clearly on offense, slamming Lindsey Graham for his "riots in the streets" promise. (8:06) Graham actually makes it worse: he goes back on Fox and flatly lies, and denies he said what he said on Fox two nights earlier (10:33) Biden's willingness to call out Republicans normalizes the terms he uses like "semi-fascism" and builds momentum for others to use them on a daily basis (14:20) To paraphrase "The Manchurian Candidate": "Are they saying ARE there any fascists in the Republican Party? Of course not! They're saying HOW MANY fascists are there in the Republican Party!" (14:20) Trump meanwhile goes full QAnon, posting direct messages from the imaginary figure and all but calling for another coup to be led by people who believe prophesy tells them to participate (17:15) But overarching all of it is that one photo: glowing TOP SECRET/SCI files on a carpet like so many baseball cards. B BLOCK (19:42) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Hadley (20:57) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Gorbachev dies just before Putin finishes undoing all his work. How will your town look under 10 inches of melted glacial water? How come the dirty words on the GOP headquarters were carefully sprayed AROUND the Republican logo? (23:32) IN SPORTS: Sweden warns its players: don't go to Russia. Why are we letting Russians play in the NHL? And sports blogger Clay Travis actually compares vaccine-refuseniks Aaron Rodgers, Kyrie Irving and Novak Djokovic to Muhammad Ali's refusal to be inducted into the military: "Covid is our modern era Vietnam," says the dumbest man on the planet (29:47) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Ted Cruz, Joe Rogan, and Herschel Walker - proudly insisting "My bike is not bent" compete for the honors. C BLOCK (34:43) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It's the birthday of the late Daniel Schorr, the last man hired by Ed Murrow at CBS News, a proud member of Richard Nixon's enemies list, and my colleague at CNN 40 years ago. The best story? The day I had to delay his interview with the CIA chief for breaking... College Football Rankings News!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

June 24, 1950 Ed Murrow, CBS News, narrated a half-hour radio documentary called "The Case for the Flying Saucers". It offered a balanced look at unidentified flying objects, a subject of widespread interest at the time.

Ed Murrow reports from London to CBS Radio Network, April 15, 1945. Buchenwald was one of the largest concentration camps established by the Nazis. The field was built in 1937 in a wooded area on the northern slope of the Etterberg, about five miles northwest of Weimar in central eastern Germany. During the Nazi regime , "Weimar" came to be associated with the Buchenwald concentration camp. Murrow reports...on the aftermath of The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. Buchenwald was opened for male prisoners in July 1937. Women were not part of the system of camps of Buchenwald until 1944. Prisoners were confined to the northern part of the field in an area known as the main camp, while the barracks of the guards of the SS and the administrative compound of the field were located in the southern part. The main camp was surrounded by an electrified barbed wire fence, watchtowers, and a chain of sentries equipped with automatically activated machine guns. The jail, also known as the Bunker, was located at the entrance to the main camp. The SS carried out shootings in the stables and hangings in the crematorium area.

September 3, 1939. NBC and Mutual Broadcasting to suspend their European broadcasts left CBS with an open field. Murrow moved into the void, hiring additional staff to report from various capitals. Among those coming aboard that fall were Mary Marvin Breckinridge, an old college friend of Murrow's who would become the first female national broadcaster; Cecil Brown, a journalist and former merchant mariner; Larry LeSueur of United Press; Winston Burdett of Harvard by way of the Brooklyn Eagle; Charles Collingwood, a Cornell alumnus; and Howard K. Smith, a champion hurdler from Tulane.

The CNN host admitted he calls his own weekday commentaries "Murrows" after old CBS warhorse Edward R. Murrow. These hosts want to make a pompous statement, like everyone should pause to absorb the worldly wisdom of TV personalities.

The tobacco industry's white coats are ready, the battle of science vs science begins. The battle for public opinion will be played out in the media. In this episode we hear how the tobacco industry chose to fight science with science, pitting one scientist wearing a white coat against another. It worked. Tobacco industry scientists made it on to Ed Murrow's prominent documentary series “See It Now”. From climate change to smoking and cancer, this is the story of how doubt has been manufactured. This 10 part series explores how powerful interests and sharp PR managers engineered doubt about the connection between smoking and cancer and how similar tactics were later used by some to make us doubt climate change. With the help of once-secret internal memos, we take you behind boardroom doors where such strategies were drawn up and explore how the narrative changed on one of the most important stories of our time - and how the marketing of doubt has undermined our willingness to believe almost everything.

In the midst of increasing global engagement with the fallout of the novel coronavirus, we examine some responses to the pandemic within the "psychedelic community.” Recognizing that the US has a longstanding history of privatizing profits while socializing costs, we also discuss the normalization of a "capitalist animism"—treating social phenomena like markets or financial capital as living entities—that fixates on "economic health" at the expense of public health. As this unprecedented situation continues to unfold, we explore some considerations for this sudden period of social isolation within a broader culture of social alienation. Links discussed   Big Pharma Prepares To Profit From The Coronavirus Coronavirus: What Has It Revealed?  How did we end up with health insurance being tied to our jobs? The For-Profit Pharmaceutical Industry Is Leaving Us Exposed to Pandemics Like Coronavirus Some more background…. We’ve spoken at length in past episodes about capitalist dynamics in relation to the medicalization of psychedelics and the emergence of big psychedelic pharma, but today we’re going to take some time to explore these dynamics in the context of the emerging pandemic of the COVID-19 infection caused by the novel coronavirus. This pandemic is offering a, perhaps, unprecedented historical moment within late capitalism, where the narratives of dominant culture are revealing themselves to be little more than myths uttered by the rich and powerful, in order to maintain their grip on power. As the mask slips in the face of this deadly pandemic, it’s worth looking at past responses to global health crises in order to see what insight they have to offer. In 1938, President Franklin Roosevelt founded the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to combat polio. In the week prior to President Roosevelt’s birthday, stage, screen and radio star Eddie Cantor inspired a nationwide fundraising campaign for the foundation. Lapel pins were sold for 10 cents, numerous special features were produced by the movie and radio industries, private businesses held public events and donated a portion of their proceeds to the foundation, and thousands of people mailed letters, each containing a dime, to the white house. Cantor’s campaign, named the “March of Dimes” raised over $85,000 for polio research in its first wave, and the foundation went on to spend $233 million on polio patient care from 1938 through 1955, thanks largely to what the New York Times referred to as Cantor’s “genius...in generating large numbers of relatively small contributions for a cause,” In 1952, working for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Jonas Salk developed his vaccine for Polio, which was announced as safe on April 12, 1955. When asked by television personality Ed Murrow, “Who owns this patent,” Salk replied, "Well, the people I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?" Salk recognized that his research and eventual breakthrough had been made possible by the contributions of countless individuals who cared for the health and safety of their fellow human beings. Who acted not out of a desire for personal enrichment, but from an inherent understanding of solidarity and mutual aid. According to some calculations, Salk would have made about $7 billion if he had patented the polio vaccine. Laying aside questions of whether or not such a patent would have been legally defensible, we should laud the moral stance that Salk asserted. Namely, acknowledging the collective human effort of research and funding while refusing to put a predatory price tag on treatments to ameliorate human suffering.   Support the show: patreon.com/psymposia ______ Co-hosts: Brian Normand, Neşe Devenot, David Nickles, Brian Pace.
