  We all know a little about New England and Connecticut's  European maritime history. Dutch traders came to North America to trade for beaver pelts and English colonists came to start new communities such as Hartford. But a new exhibition at the Mystic Seaport Museum doesn't rehash this history - it looks to reveal African and Indigenous perspectives on water and the sea.    Entwined: Freedom, Sovereignty, and the Sea is an exhibition that surveys the interplay of maritime histories through Indigenous, African, and African American worldviews. On view until Spring 2026, the exhibition examines  twelve millennia of Black and Indigenous history through objects and loaned belongings from Indigenous and African communities dating back 2,500 years, coalescing in a selection of 22 contemporary artworks.   For more on the exhibition, go here: https://mysticseaport.org/press-release/a-new-major-exhibition-at-mystic-seaport-museum-entwined-freedom-sovereignty-and-the-sea/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAlsy5BhDeARIsABRc6ZsdXrwnuOdXNuyzChssJb7G7QDvtp-1ou95r4jkzwwmo2qLD7Q_1P4aAi39EALw_wcB   Entwined is the first exhibition by my guest Dr. Akeia de Barros Gomes, Senior Curator of Social Histories at Mystic Seaport Museum.

Today, The Fellowship's C.J. Burroughs continues his conversation about ANU—The Museum of the Jewish People, a place for people of all faiths.

Dr. Aviad Moreno is himself an incarnation of entwined homelands. He is an Israeli whose grandfather moved from Morocco to Venezuela, sent his son back to Morocco to study. The family hailed from Spain before the Exile in 1492 only to maintain much of the Spanish language and character. These migrations create a unique diaspora for the Jews of northern Morocco, one that is Hispanophone and yet extremely connected to their Jewish roots. Thus is created these diasporas who have developed strong and growing heritage. Dr. Moreno is a scholar on migrations and this focus on this small community has the complexity of much larger diasporas. His new book is Entwined Homelands, Empowered Diasporas: Hispanic Moroccan Jews and Their Globalizing Community (Indiana UP, 2024). At Jewish Unity Through Diversity we often discuss the lost worlds of various Jewish diasporas and the yearnings for homelands. Northern Moroccan Jews have multiple homelands and have returned to those homelands as well - a unique character. This is a Spanish Moroccan Jewish strong community back in Morocco, in Israel, and in Spain today. They are a small unique community that is even today growing their heritage.  Follow us on www.unitytdiversity.com, FB Jewish Unity Through Diversity, Instagram, and YouTube.

Tom Flynn is a seasoned law enforcement officer from New Jersey with 27 years of experience under his belt. As a dedicated professional, he has served in various capacities including patrol officer, SWAT team member, accreditation manager, and has risen to the rank of police lieutenant. Flynn's journey through personal challenges in the family court system has propelled him to become a board member of the Fathers and Children's Equality (FACE) organization in New Jersey, offering support to fathers navigating the complexities of family law. In this gripping episode of "The Father's Truth," host Alan Donovan welcomes Tom Flynn, an active police officer with a riveting tale of personal experience in navigating the challenging landscape of father's rights and family law. Entwined with legal struggles and professional repercussions, Flynn's story is one of resilience, transformation, and advocacy. Flynn narrates his involvement in a devastating family court ordeal that spiraled from a dispute with his spouse to wrongful criminal charges and eventual imprisonment. Facing a daunting battle for his rights and dignity, he sheds light on the systematic obstacles encountered by fathers in the court system. His evolving role from a decorated officer to an advocate and board member of fathers' organizations underscores the poignant narrative, offering hope and wisdom to those in similar struggles. Law enforcement officers, like Tom Flynn, encounter unique challenges in family court, often facing severe repercussions on their professional and personal lives. Family court systems can be fraught with bias and misuse of protective orders, resulting in significant injustices for fathers and their children. Organizations like Fathers and Children's Equality (FACE) provide crucial support and resources for fathers navigating the complex family court terrain. Despite hardships and systemic pitfalls, personal transformation and advocacy can emerge, highlighting the importance of community support and education in reform efforts. Tom Flynn's journey illustrates the importance of fighting not only for one's case but also for broader systemic change to benefit future generations. "They're given out like candy." - reflecting on the ease of obtaining restraining orders in family court. "Who was going to represent myself and my son better than me?" - host Alan Donovan emphasizes a father's unique ability to advocate for their child. "It's Christmas Eve, I have no money...I'm suspended from my job...but I can still help someone else." - Tom Flynn on finding purpose in helping others despite his own struggles. "I feel like if I save enough of others, it may not be for my generation or my daughters, but it may put some positive energy back." - Tom Flynn on his motivation to advocate for fathers' rights.

When Debbie Hutcherson Evertte speaks about loss, her words carry the weight of personal experience. As a pastor and advocate for grief support, she joins me to share deeply moving stories of her own life, marked by the loss of family and a profound personal health struggle post-hysterectomy. Together, we face the unpredictable tides of grief, acknowledging how our childhood memories shape our reactions to such pivotal moments in our lives.The resilience of the human spirit shines through as we converse about the trials preceding major surgeries and the importance of advocating for our own healing. Hearing another guest recount her experiences with early menopause post-hysterectomy, we confront societal misconceptions about femininity and sexuality, reinforcing the value in being well-informed and proactive about our health during times of change. It's a discussion that underscores self-care as an act of strength, not selfishness.Our dialogue takes a serious turn as we address the stark inequities in women's healthcare, particularly for black women in rural communities. I share my own encounters with the healthcare system, emphasizing the critical need for self-care and spiritual wisdom to guide us through systemic challenges. Entwined with personal narratives and a call to action, this episode stands as an empowering beacon for self-advocacy and the necessity of community support in the face of adversity.Support the showIT'S HERE!

Before television captured the attention of the nation, the traveling circus was the most popular form of entertainment in America. During this time, the midwestern city of Bloomington, Illinois became a home for many circus performers and the "birthplace" of famous aerial acts. Maureen Brunsdale, head of Special Collections at Illinois State University's Milner Library, discusses how the purchase of a piece of physical fitness equipment for a Bloomington gymnasium tied the midwestern town to the circus.

In this episode of the Papa Bear Hikes podcast, Martin welcomes back Tonya Monarch Lonsbury. Tonya was part of our 2022 AT Tramily. In this interview, Tonya discusses her new book based on her adventures with “Zoby – a real-life 2022 Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker Dog.” Big adventures require great courage.  Although small, Zoby – a real-life 2022 Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker Dog – has shown bravery in the face of injury and death before the trail and draws on that strength as he faces big challenges on his journey from Georgia to Maine. Assisted by woodland Trail Angels, Zoby stares down the leaders of the evil Squirrel Mafia and their resources, foiling their plans to rid the trail of dogs, or "domestics" as they are called, like him ... especially small, white ones following a fateful, tragic incident in the past.  Bears. Elk. Moose. Owls. Hawks. Snakes. Chipmunks. Squirrels. Birds. Deer. Porcupines. Coyotes. Bobcats. Wild Boar. What woodland creatures are friend or foe to Zoby? Why does the Squirrel Mafia despise him so? As their diabolical leader becomes more enraged with each state line crossed and milestone reached, will Zoby and his tramily (trail family) survive the next trap and make it to Katahdin in Maine?  Entwined with descriptive landmarks of the Appalachian Trail and its history, thru-hiker lingo and trail life, and visits to actual trail towns and hostels, Zoby and his tramily's journey is especially relatable to anyone familiar with the Appalachian Trail or thru-hiking in general. Colorful characters add life, from a southern belle Grayson Highlands pony to an angry Pennsylvania porcupine, to a macho Maine moose, and all in between – including Zoby's two yin-and-yang balance of sidekicks.  All are invited to join the adventure of a lifetime as Zoby digs deep to find the strength and courage to overcome all the obstacles en route to Maine, and how his presence leaves the Appalachian Trail's woodland creatures changed forever. ZOBY: Small Dog, Big Adventures: On The Appalachian Trail - Kindle edition by Lonsbury, Tonya "Monarch".

Obedience to God can either be burdensome, or not. It all boils down to one factor: are we living from the place of our belovedness? Jesus loves you as deeply and passionately as the Father loves Him... do you KNOW that, deep in your heart?

I open the way for Beauty by inviting you to relive with me, the dissonant symphony of fireflies I witnessed in the Amazon at night, and I introduce the concept of chimera, and the idea that within the flickering fireflies hides a beat that mathematicians have long been seeking to exprress variation within synchrony. Guided by the words offered by The Prophet regarding Beauty and Religion, I lead you back to the Peoples of the Anaconda, to find, within their cosmovision, a daily honoring of beauty, a way of living that expresses finding the sacred in ritual and their conviction that their struggles pursue the maintenance of the energetic flows of life and the restauration of the order of the universe. 

Anna Leonarda's story is a fascinating one, when I came across her profile, and I saw what she was promoting, and when I got to read a little bit of a story, I was very fascinated, and I really wanted to get to know her for the show. She is a breast cancer survivor, and she also suffers from a condition that causes her to have excruciating periods, and it makes it really hard to enjoy intercourse. She tells her tragic story of being in the shower and finding multiple lumps on her breast, and having multiple surgeries to have them removed. She has gone through a lot of pain and turmoil in her life, and her way to turn it around is by creating her own dating site. She did this because she struggled in her own life because of having so much pain in her private area, sex was never enjoyable, but she still desire to find a mate that will love her for who she is. The idea behind the dating site is to match individuals who struggle with sexual dysfunction/limitations. She realize that she was not the only one, and that there was no place for those who are like her to find someone of their own, so she created a safe space so that they could find love as well. https://www.entwinedating.com

The Rise and Reign of the Mammals: A New History, from the Shadow of the Dinosaurs to Us by Steve Brusatte New from the author of acclaimed bestseller The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs ("A masterpiece of science writing" —Washington Post) and “one of the stars of modern paleontology” (National Geographic), a sweeping and revelatory history of mammals, illuminating the lost story of the extraordinary family tree that led to us We humans are the inheritors of a dynasty that has reigned over the planet for nearly 66 million years, through fiery cataclysm and ice ages: the mammals. Our lineage includes saber-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, armadillos the size of a car, cave bears three times the weight of a grizzly, clever scurriers that outlasted Tyrannosaurus rex, and even other types of humans, like Neanderthals. Indeed humankind and many of the beloved fellow mammals we share the planet with today—lions, whales, dogs—represent only the few survivors of a sprawling and astonishing family tree that has been pruned by time and mass extinctions. How did we get here? In his acclaimed bestseller The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs—hailed as “the ultimate dinosaur biography” by Scientific American—American paleontologist Steve Brusatte enchanted readers with his definitive his - tory of the dinosaurs. Now, picking up the narrative in the ashes of the extinction event that doomed T-rex and its kind, Brusatte explores the remarkable story of the family of animals that inherited the Earth—mammals— and brilliantly reveals that their story is every bit as fascinating and complex as that of the dinosaurs. Beginning with the earliest days of our lineage some 325 million years ago, Brusatte charts how mammals survived the asteroid that claimed the dinosaurs and made the world their own, becoming the astonishingly diverse range of animals that dominate today's Earth. Brusatte also brings alive the lost worlds mammals inhabited through time, from ice ages to volcanic catastrophes. Entwined in this story is the detective work he and other scientists have done to piece together our understanding using fossil clues and cutting-edge technology. A sterling example of scientific storytelling by one of our finest young researchers, The Rise and Reign of the Mammals illustrates how this incredible history laid the foundation for today's world, for us, and our future.
