John Dewey is among history's most celebrated thinkers on democracy and education, yet he has often been underappreciated and misunderstood as a philosopher.

Dom and D are back with  episode of Everyone Needs an Aquarius, where they break down the latest in pop culture, parenting, and politics with their signature humor and no-nonsense approach. This week, the duo cuts through the noise, starting with an honest debate about the "gentle parenting" trend—is it actually just permissive parenting in disguise? The conversation shifts to the entertainment world as they dissect the fallout from Tony Hinchcliffe's recent roast and why Kevin Hart's defense of the comedy landscape sparked such a massive cultural debate. From there, they tackle the wild headlines of the week, including Ray J's celebrity MMA fight, the political buzz surrounding Jaxson Dart's endorsements, and the bizarre saga of Cheyenne Bryant's alleged "mayoral run." They wrap up with a fascinating historical comparison, contrasting the modern antics of "Chud the Builder" with the radical legacy of abolitionist John Brown. 0:00 - Gentle Parenting, School Drama, and Classroom Challenges 6:19 - The Rise and Fall of Nature Boy on Hood Horror Stories is even crazier 13:25 - Kevin Hart and Tony Hinchcliffe double down on the comments mentioned at the Roast 32:22 - Eddie Murphy's Enduring Legacy and Strategic Career Choices 41:52 - Ray J's Celebrity MMA Fight and Hospitalization Drama 46:23 - Jaxson Dart's Trump Political Endorsement 52:46 - Cheyenne Bryant's Faux Mayoral Campaign and her credentials keep falling apart 1:06:47 - Chud the Builder's Controversial Actions and Legal Troubles 1:09:51 - John Brown's Radical Abolitionist Actions and Legacy Brand new voicemail: ‪(314) 649-3113‬ Subscribe to the Everyone Needs an Aquarius Patreon https://bit.ly/3tXnnCz  Email the show at straightolc@gmail.com           Follow SOLC Network online Instagram: https://bit.ly/39VL542                                    Twitter: https://bit.ly/39aL395                                     Facebook: https://bit.ly/3sQn7je                            To Listen to the podcast Podbean https://bit.ly/3t7SDJH                                YouTube http://bit.ly/3ouZqJU                                Spotify http://spoti.fi/3pwZZnJ                                Apple http://apple.co/39rwjD1                                                         IHeartRadio http://ihr.fm/2L0A2y

Casimir Pulaski gave his life for American liberty, and his story reveals the true cost of independence. In this episode of the America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano explores the remarkable life of Casimir Pulaski, a Polish nobleman and "Father of the American Cavalry" who crossed an ocean to fight for a country that was not his own. From his daring charge that saved George Washington at Brandywine to his ultimate sacrifice at the Siege of Savannah, Pulaski's journey reminds us that America was founded not on bloodlines, but on an idea. Discover why an exile with no home became one of the Revolution's most vital leaders, and why his story is a haunting warning to an era that often takes its inherited freedoms for granted. What You'll Learn: The Making of a Soldier: How Pulaski's struggle against Russian tyranny in Poland prepared him for the American Revolution. Saving Washington: The tactical brilliance that prevented a catastrophe at the Battle of Brandywine. Building the Cavalry: Why Pulaski's Legion was the precursor to modern special forces. The Ultimate Sacrifice: A breakdown of the fatal charge at Savannah and what it means to die for a principle. A Lesson for Today: Why Pulaski's "allegiance to an idea" is the only thing that can preserve the American experiment today.

In 1836, the Texians faced a huge refugee crisis. Mexican general Santa Anna intended to wage a terror campaign against the civilian population as he had done in other Mexican states. In a panic, the citizens of Texas grabbed only what they could carry and fled east. What ensued was a refugee crisis of epic proportions. In this episode, I interview Dr. Stephen Hardin, the author of a recent book Texian Exodus: The Runaway Scrape and its Enduring Legacy. Dr. Hardin discusses these events and their considerable impact on the formation of the Texan identity.

Brian O'Leary interviews author Monte Burke about his book MEN OF TROY: The Epic Afternoons, Wild Nights, and Enduring Legacy of Pete Carroll's USC Trojans (Grand Central Publishing, published January 13, 2026). Burke traces his own path into college football and writing, contrasts the atmosphere of college football with the NFL, and explains why coaches like Carroll and Nick Saban make compelling subjects. We discuss USC's unique Los Angeles moment with celebrity-laced practices, the program's rise under Carroll, and how the Reggie Bush scandal exposed flaws in college football's amateurism model and helped foreshadow NIL-era changes, while sanctions punished players like Matt Barkley who had no role in violations. The conversation revisits defining games (the “Bush Push” and the Texas title loss), Carroll's coaching style and staff, Pac-10 ripple effects, and ends with Carroll's fishing life and Burke's favorite fisheries. *** Buy MEN OF TROY at Amazon: https://amzn.to/47p8Mjs Find Monte Burke: https://www.monteburke.com/ *** Segments: Meet Monte Burke Growing Up With Football Why College Saturdays Rule From Saban to Carroll USC Takes Over LA Modern Era and Amateurism Reggie Bush and NIL Shift Sanctions Fallout on Players Inside Pete Carroll Interviews NCAA Politics and USC Anger Party Culture Backfires Agents Invade Heritage Hall Six Inches From Immortality Reggie Missing On Fourth Down Pete Carroll Defends The Call Carroll Legacy In Shadow Recreating Iconic Games USC Rivals And Pac-10 Shift Coaching Tree And Lane Kiffin Kiffin Pressure And Enemies Trout Fishing And Calming Down Raiders Job And Roster Reality Angling Talk And Farewell *** Find Brian D.

Jesse Louis Jackson Sr., the civil rights icon, two-time presidential candidate, founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, and a global advocate for justice and human rights. He passed away at the age of 84, closing a chapter on more than half a century of activism that reshaped American politics and expanded the possibilities of Black political power.

Jackson's life, his influence on the social and political fabric of the region, and the legacy he leaves behind. Interview by Chris B. Bennett.

Connecticut is a small state that has had a huge national impact. In this episode, we celebrate someone that we are proud to say was born in Connecticut and went on to be a pioneering historian in Black history. Dr. Lorenzo Johnston Greene received his BA in from Howard University in 1924, his MA from Columbia University in 1926 and his Ph.D. in 1942. He was born in Ansonia, Connecticut. We can learn more about his family from the 1900 federal census record. His father Willie was born in 1858 in Virginia before the end of slavery, and his mother was born in West Virginia in 1870. Both came to Connecticut and by the time Lorenzo was born in 1899, he had five older brothers and sisters. The census states that both of his parents can read and write and their children are in school.  By the time of the 1920 census, Lorenz has two older brothers who work in a brass mill.   What made Lorenzo want to go to college and become a historian? When did he work with Dr. Carter Woodson, the "Father of Black History" and what were Greene's own lasting contributions to the study of Black history?   Our guest is Dr. Stacey Close, Associate Vice Provost and Vice President of Equity and Diversity at Eastern Connecticut State University. Dr. Close is a co-author of African American Connecticut Explored, published by Wesleyan University Press, and a noted authority on Hartford and the Great Migration.  You can learn more about that in GTN episode: #181. Hartford and the Great Migration, 1914-1950.   One last thing about Dr. Greene. In the 1930 federal census, he is 31 years old and working for Dr. Woodson as a field representative and research assistant. Greene lists his job as "Historical Investigating Officer" - he had such a strong sense of his mission even as a young man during the depths of the Great Depression. Thank you to Dr. Close.

Men of Troy: Inside the Wild Nights and Enduring Legacy of Pete Carroll's USCFor college football fans, the early 2000s in Los Angeles weren't just about a team—it was a cultural phenomenon. Recently on Pigskin Dispatch, I had the pleasure of sitting down with award-winning author Monte Burke to discuss his latest book, Men of Troy: The Epic Afternoons, Wild Nights and Enduring Legacy of Pete Carroll's USC Trojans.If you lived through that era, you remember the energy. But as Monte and I discussed, the story behind the dynasty is even more fascinating than the highlights we saw on TV.The Resurrection of a Sleeping GiantBefore Pete Carroll arrived, USC was a storied program that had drifted into two decades of national irrelevance. When Carroll was hired, the reaction from boosters and the LA media was almost universally negative. He had been fired twice in the NFL and hadn't coached in college for 15 years."People went berserk," Monte noted during our chat. "They wondered why they hired a guy on his third strike."But Carroll brought something unique: an unorthodox, psychology-driven approach. Influenced by the "Summer of Love" and a study of Zen-like focus, he turned the Trojans into a "players-first" program where the primary rule was simply to have fun.When Hollywood Met the GridironOne of the most captivating parts of Monte's research is the "Hollywood" atmosphere that surrounded the team. With no NFL teams in LA at the time, USC became the city's pro team.Practices were completely open, leading to surreal scenes where legends like Snoop Dogg, Will Ferrell, and Arnold Schwarzenegger would mingle with players on the sidelines. Monte shared a brilliant anecdote where a student approached quarterback Matt Leinart for an autograph while ignoring Will Ferrell, who was sitting right next to him. That was the level of stardom these "Men of Troy" achieved.The "Six Inches" from ImmortalityWe spent some time revisiting the 2006 National Championship game against Texas—often cited as the greatest game ever played. As Monte describes it, USC was "six inches away" from winning three consecutive national titles, a feat never accomplished in the modern era.The book dives deep into the human side of that loss, from Reggie Bush's ill-fated lateral to the "Bush Push" and the missed fourth down by Lendale White. Speaking with the players years later, Monte found that these moments still haunt and define many of them today.A Lasting Impact on the PAC-12The rise of Pete Carroll didn't just help USC; it lifted the entire conference. The dominance of the Trojans forced rivals like Stanford and Oregon to "get their act together," leading to the hiring of Jim Harbaugh and Chip Kelly. Conversely, Monte argues that when the NCAA sanctions hit and USC "sunk," it acted as an anchor that eventually dragged down the relevance of the entire PAC-12 conference.Get the Full StoryWhether you're a die-hard Trojan or a fan of football history, Men of Troy is a must-read. It's a story of redemption, ego, celebrity, and the razor-thin margin between immortality and "what could have been."Listen to the full interview with Monte Burke on the Pigskin Dispatch Podcast and grab your copy of Men of Troy at your local bookstore or on Amazon!Join us at the Pigskin Dispatch website to see even more Positive football news!Don't forget to check out and subscribe to the Pigskin Dispatch YouTube channel for additional content and the regular Football History Minute Shorts.Miss our football by the day of the year podcasts, well don't, because they can...

We speak with writer Monte Burke about his new book "Men of Troy: The Epic Afternoons, Wild Nights, and Enduring Legacy of Pete Carroll's USC Trojans." After a rough experience as a head coach for two NFL teams, Carroll achieved great success (including two national championships) with USC .... and then achieved comparable success with his return to the NFL as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. The book examines the ways in which Carroll earned a reputation as a 'player's coach.'

In January 1776, a short, unsigned pamphlet ignited a revolution by teaching ordinary people to question power itself. This episode of the America's Founding Series tells the gripping story of Thomas Paine and the explosive impact of Common Sense, the most influential piece of political writing in American history. The episode explores how Paine reframed authority, popular sovereignty, and liberty, and why his rejection of both unchecked government power and mob rule still matters in a time of expanding bureaucracy and political extremism. What You'll Learn Why Common Sense was considered treasonous and revolutionary in 1776 How Thomas Paine made independence thinkable before it was inevitable What Paine meant by calling government a necessary evil Why Paine rejected mob rule as a threat to natural rights and republican government How Paine's ideas explain the tension between government power and citizen liberty today As America marks the 250th anniversary of Common Sense, this episode asks whether the nation still trusts the judgment of reasonable citizens or prefers obedience enforced from above or below. The American Revolution did not begin with a musket. It began with an idea that refused to die.

In this extraordinary episode of Takin’ A Walk, host Buzz Knight sits down with Oscar and Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker Rick Korn for an intimate conversation about the power of music to transform lives,.Rick’s latest documentary, “Cat’s in the Cradle: The Song That Changed Our Lives,” explores one of the most iconic and emotionally resonant songs in American music history, revealing how Harry Chapin’s timeless classic continues to influence musicians, families, and communities decades after its release. Rick Korn has built his remarkable career around creating socially conscious documentaries that don’t just document history—they inspire people to take action and make a difference in the world. Rick has dedicated himself to telling inspiring music stories that illuminate the intersection of artistry and activism, showing how musicians can leverage their platforms to address society’s most pressing challenges. His work with legendary artists and humanitarian causes has positioned him as one of the most important documentary filmmakers working in the music space today. The conversation begins with Rick sharing the origin story of his deep connection to Harry Chapin, the singer-songwriter whose commitment to fighting hunger and poverty was as legendary as his musical talent. Harry Chapin wasn’t just a hitmaker who gave us “Cat’s in the Cradle,” “Taxi,” “W.O.L.D.,” and other chart-topping songs—he was a tireless activist who gave away an estimated half of his concert earnings to charitable causes. In 1975, Harry Chapin co-founded World Hunger Year, which later became WHYHunger, an organization that continues to fight food insecurity in 24 countries around the world, affecting millions of lives every month. His impact on the philanthropic world was so profound that he received the Congressional Gold Medal posthumously, and his legacy continues to inspire new generations of artists to use their fame for good. Rick explains how this song, written by Harry’s wife Sandy, became more than just a hit record—it became a cultural mirror that reflected back to America the consequences of misplaced priorities, the pain of missed opportunities with loved ones, and the universal struggle between career ambitions and family responsibilities. The song’s narrative about a father too busy to spend time with his son, only to find that same son too busy for him in later years, struck a chord that continues to resonate more than fifty years after its release. What makes Rick’s latest documentary so compelling is the diverse range of voices he assembled to explore the song’s impact. Billy Joel provides fascinating insights into the craft of songwriting and how “Cat’s in the Cradle” achieved something rare in popular music—a perfect marriage of melody, lyric, and universal truth that transcends generations. Billy Joel’s own relationship with Harry Chapin as a mentor and friend adds emotional depth to his reflections on the song’s enduring power. He discusses how opening for Harry Chapin’s band taught him not just about performing, but about using music as a force for positive change in the world. Rick shares the story of interviewing Darryl DMC McDaniels and being struck by the raw honesty of his reaction to “Cat’s in the Cradle.” Despite coming from a completely different musical tradition, DMC connected deeply with the song’s message about fatherhood, presence, and the choices we make about how we spend our time. The documentary also features Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, whose interview began with him declaring his dislike for acoustic music, only to confess that “Cat’s in the Cradle” was the one song that broke through his resistance. This moment perfectly illustrates the song’s unique power—it can reach people who might otherwise never connect with folk-influenced storytelling music.Support the show: https://takinawalk.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're throwing it back to the 1996 cult classic film The Craft just in time for Halloween! We begin with a conversation about Hannah and Marcelle's teenage witch phases (of course they both had them), before digging into the filmic landscape of the 90s. Hannah argues that The Craft's interest in girlhood and power was a catalyst that paved the way for pop culture to come, like Buffy and Charmed and Practical Magic. Hannah then draws on Stacy Gillis and Rebecca Munford's “Genealogies and Generations: The Politics and Praxis of Third Wave Feminism" and Jessica Rosenberg and Gitana Garofalo's “Riot Grrrl: Revolutions from Within" to help understand the resonance of film.

Book Title: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Author: Jonathan HealeyHeadline: The Gunpowder Plot's Enduring Legacy The 1605 Gunpowder Plot, an attempt by a small group of Catholics to destroy James I and Parliament, deeply shaped English politics. It fueled anti-Catholic paranoia, associating Catholicism with tyranny, foreign powers like Spain and France, and arbitrary government. This fear of a "popish plot" became a recurrent theme for the next 80 years, influencing decisions up to James II's reign. 1653 OLIVER CROMWELL
