Podcasts about Erasure

After almost 2 years of Israel's genocide in Gaza, Western powers have issued synchronised declarations recognising Palestinian statehood - a diplomatic move seemingly born out of the immense public pressure they face. What's missing from the story is the concrete measures those governments could take to stop the slaughter in Gaza, as well as their complicity by continuing to supply weapons to Israel. Contributors: Ines Abdel Razek – Co-director, Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy Michael Lynk – Former UN special rapporteur, occupied Palestinian territory Michael Omer-Man – Director Israel-Palestine, DAWN Seamus Malekafzali - Journalist On our radar: Three years into a civil war, Sudan is one of the most underreported stories in the world. Meenakshi Ravi reports on the near-collapse of the country's media industry and the journalists trying to break the information blockade. How Palantir got techno-militiarism trending Silicon Valley CEOs are increasingly making the case that their technologies can transform the way that wars are fought. And of all the companies involved in this military-tech boom, one stands out: Palantir. Branding itself as America First, the data analytics firm has won billions of dollars in contracts and makes no apologies for the need to kill people - if that's what it takes to protect Western interests. Tariq Nafi reports on how the company sells a sleek, one-click solution to warfare.

"Art is my way of turning pain into hope." Those are the words of Gaza-based photographer Belal Khaled, whose images have been seen by millions and published in Time, the Guardian and The Wall Street Journal. His work, along with that of 10 other Gaza-based photographers, is at the heart of a powerful new exhibition at P21 Gallery in London, titled "Against Erasure: Photographs from Gaza." In a war where foreign reporters have been banned from Gaza, these photojournalists risk their lives to document what's happening and ensure their stories are not silenced.

È il 1986: un comitato scientifico internazionale stabilisce un nuovo nome per indicare il virus dell'Aids: d'ora in poi si parlerà soltanto di Hiv, ovvero “Virus dell'immunodeficienza umana”.  Nel corso della seconda conferenza mondiale sulla pandemia che si tiene a Parigi, l'OMS fornisce una stima dai 5 ai 10 milioni di sieropositivi, mentre i morti si contano già in alcune migliaia.  Non stupisce che, in un mondo in cui per telefonare fuori casa si usano ancora i gettoni, passi quasi inosservata ai più l'emergenza pandemica causata da C-brain, il primo virus informatico della storia.Ma a impressionare e a incutere timore e insicurezza nell'opinione pubblica mondiale, nel corso dell'anno concorrono anche altri eventi tragici e fatali: come l'esplosione avvenuta il 28 gennaio in diretta televisiva, nel corso della fase di decollo dello Space Shuttle Challenger, con il sacrificio di tutti e sette i componenti dell'equipaggio… eppure l'esplosione avvenuta il 26 aprile del reattore numero 4 della centrale atomica di Chernobyl, nell'Ucraina ancora sovietizzata, che libera una spaventosa nube tossica e radioattiva che si espanse nei cieli di tutta Europa.In questo episodio:La chiusura della Steps - Il PCI e la questione omosessuale - La mozione della CGIL sul movimento - L'inchiesta di Babilonia sugli omosessuali perseguitati dal fascismo - L'attentato a Ivan Teobaldelli - Il caso di Bruno Deiana - L'impegno di Lina Sotis nei confronti delle iniziative del movimento gay.Interviste a:Daniele Cassandro, giornalista e critico musicale; Franco Grillini, attivista, politico e giornalista, già segretario nazionale di Arcigay: Roberto Dartenuc, responsabile organizzativo Arcigay; Pietro Folena, politico e giornalista; Giovanni Dall'Orto, attivista, giornalista, storico; Ivan Teobaldelli, attivista, giornalista, scrittore, co-fondatore del mensile Babilonia; Enzo Cucco, attivista, giornalista e membro del Fuori!; Lina Sotis, giornalista e scrittrice.Per approfondire gli argomenti di questo episodio:BIBLIOGRAFIA:Fabio Giovannini, Comunisti e diversi - Il PCI e la questione omosessuale, Bari, Dedalo Libri, 1980COLONNA SONORA:On the beach - Chris ReaA kind of magic - QueenDon't leave me this way - The CommunardsCarovan of love - The HousemartinsIn between days - The CureVampirella - The SystemNotorius - Duran DuranTrue colors - Cyndy LauperWord up - CameoDon't dream it's over - Crowded HouseHanging on a heart attack - DeviceDriving satisfaction - Grace JonesTake my breath away - BerlinAdrenalina - Giuni Russo e Donatella RettoreLive to tell - MadonnaOh, l'amour - Erasure

Dr. Gee and Professor Stephen Kantrowitz discuss the erasure of history that has happened in other nations in order to understand the current US government attempts to control historical information and ideology. You will be shocked to hear the ways that historical and scientific research are being attacked through elimination of funding and discrediting of academic knowledge.  One of the current realities is that current students will be discouraged from seeking out new perspectives and the truth of historical perspectives because of perceived connections to DEI. Hear how government websites are removing African American and female-focused language in a censoring effort through the experience of one of Dr. Gee's friends and former guest.  Professor Kantrowitz explains the main issue in our country to be addressed is one of free and truthful speech. There is an attack on the truth of history and the realities of our world.  The Wayback Machine  a historian of race, citizenship, and Native-settler interaction in the United States. I am particularly interested in work that spans the antebellum, Civil War, and postbellum eras, and in the connections between the histories of slavery, emancipation, and Reconstruction and the dynamics of Native American life and U.S. conquest. I have recently developed a research interest in the intellectual history of twentieth-century American anthropology in relation to Native-settler interaction.

It's Monday, September 15th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Syrian Christians facing “accelerated cultural erasure” Radical Muslim jihadis and other extremist groups have carried out brutal mass killings and other human rights violations against Syria's religious minorities, prompting calls from religious freedom advocates for the United States to take action, reports The Christian Post. Dr. Morhaf Ibrahim, president of the Alawites Association of the United States, says the attacks against Syria's Christian, Alawite and Druze communities are not just random acts of violence. "It's a deliberate campaign of terror," Ibrahim declared during a Wednesday press conference AAUS hosted on Capitol Hill to discuss the atrocities committed against Syrian ethno-religious minorities.  Since the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in December 2024, Syria's religious minorities are facing a rapid increase in violence from foreign jihadis, Assad loyalists and militias unleashed by Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. After the Islamic alliance Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which is made up of former Islamic State and Al Qaeda fighters, ousted President Bashar al-Assad, religious freedom advocates have feared for the safety of Christians and other minority groups.  Sam Brownback, the former United States Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, talked about what he thinks needs to happen now. BROWNBACK: “I just know that right now is a critical moment to get the structure of Syrian government correct, where it needs to provide safety for everybody. It needs to be decentralized. “The minority groups need to be able to defend themselves, and you'll be able to have equal citizenship. It's important right now to get the structure, or you will have genocide in the future. It will go poorly.” The Christian back story in Syria is demonstrable, Of the 325 bishops who took part in the First Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325, twenty were from Syria. Suspected assassin of Charlie Kirk in custody The man suspected of murdering conservative influencer Charlie Kirk is now in custody, and has been identified as 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson, reported LifeSiteNews.com. As police circulated images of the suspected shooter on Thursday, Robinson's father became convinced the killer was his son and confronted him, reports CNN. He asked, “Tyler, is this you? This looks like you.” His son acknowledged that it was him, and when his father urged him to turn himself in, Tyler suggested that he would rather kill himself. But after his father convinced him to talk with a youth pastor, Tyler agreed to be taken into custody around 11:00pm Thursday night. His arrest was first announced by President Donald Trump Friday morning on Fox and Friends. TRUMP: “I think with a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody.” LAWRENCE JONES: “This is going to be a federal case, and there's many of us believe that Charlie was targeted because of his political ideology.” TRUMP: “Yeah.” JONES: “What's going to happen to this guy?” TRUMP: “Well, I hope he's going to be found guilty, I would imagine. And I hope he gets the death penalty. What he did, Charlie Kirk was the finest person. He didn't deserve this.” Genesis 9:6 says, “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in His own image.” Robinson's hatred of Charlie Kirk A family member of Robinson's told investigators that the suspected shooter “had become more political in recent years,” and in particular had lashed out at Charlie Kirk at a recent family dinner, reports CNN. But, ironically enough, several years ago, in high school, Robinson – like his family – was politically conservative, and supported President Donald Trump ahead of the 2020 election. Robinson attended Utah State University for one semester in 2021. He was a pre-engineering major at the university but took a leave of absence after his first semester. Robinson then enrolled at Dixie Technical College in St. George. He is currently a third-year student in the electrical apprenticeship program, and obtained an apprentice electrician license in 2022. He drifted away from the Mormonism of his parents and became deeply connected to an on-line gaming community. Kirk's alleged assassin lived with transgender partner In a related development, the New York Post reports that Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, lived with his transgender partner. That individual, who has yet to be publicly identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI. According to public records, Lance Twiggs, age 22, resided at the same address where Robinson lived. A relative of Twiggs confirmed to The Post Saturday that “yes, they were roommates.”  Twiggs is a male pretending to be female. They shared an apartment in Saint George, Utah which is approximately four hours away from Utah Valley University in Orem, where Robinson allegedly shot Kirk. Twiggs said he "had no idea" Robinson was allegedly planning to assassinate the Turning Point USA founder. The person is not currently accused of any criminal activity in connection with the assassination. The FBI had text messages and other communications between Robinson and his partner that helped FBI agents zero in on Robinson. Officials said the FBI took evidence from their apartment, including computers, which has been sent to Quantico for review. Kirk was compassionate as he dialogued with a transgender student Charlie Kirk was known for respectfully disagreeing with liberal college students on a wide range of issues, political and religious, including with this 19-year-old woman pretending to be a man. Listen to both Kirk's commitment to the truth and compassion in a  conversation which Turning Point posted in May. STUDENT: “I just want to say I'm a transgender male. What age should kids be able to get things, like, hormone therapy? Because I don't know what's true, what's not." KIRK: “Tell me. Are you comfortable telling me your story?” STUDENT: “I've known that since, like, third grade, and I'm currently 19, almost 20. I have known basically since then. I didn't start going by, like, a different name until seventh and eighth grade, I just don't know, like, with the med…, like, the whole medical stuff, like, what's true, what's not, what's helpful. Because I've heard so many different opinions.” KIRK: “First of all, thank you so much for that.” STUDENT: “Of course.” KIRK: “And so I'm gonna have an opinion that very few people will ever tell you, which is, I want you to be very cautious putting drugs into your system in the pursuit of changing your body. I, instead, encourage you to work on what's going on in your brain first. I think what you need first and foremost is just a diagnosis, just someone that is going to listen to what you've gone through, listen to what else is going on. “My prayer for you, and again, very few people will say this, I actually want to see you be comfortable in how you were born." STUDENT: “Yeah.” KIRK: “I know that you might not feel that way, but I think that is something that you can achieve. I think that with the right team and the right people, you don't have to wage war on your body. You can learn to love your body.” People have posted fascinating comments online. One said, “This is what the Left calls hate! His response was pure compassion!”  Another said, “He was such a kind and caring man and they murdered him for it.”  A third person said, “Charlie … gave caring and respectful advice. Not at all the hateful monster the Left makes him out to be.” And another said, Charlie “WAS on his way to becoming the youngest president ever elected in America.  Bill Clinton was 46 in November '92. Charlie Kirk was gonna break that record. This loss will be felt for years!” Indeed, the Turning Point canopied tent proclaimed, “Prove me wrong.” Clearly, since the Left couldn't prove Charlie Kirk wrong, they killed him. Erika Kirk to assassin: “You have no idea what you just have unleashed!” On Friday, from the headquarters of Turning Point USA in Phoenix, Arizona, Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie, addressed the nation for 17-minutes, just two days after she witnessed her husband assassinated in front of her at Utah Valley University. Listen. ERIKA KIRK: “I want to thank the first responders who struggled heroically, heroically, to save Charles' life, and the police who acted bravely to make sure that there were no other victims on that terrible afternoon. “I want to thank President Trump and his incredible family for the same. Mr. President, my husband loved you, and he knew that you loved him too. He did. Your friendship was amazing.” Erika Kirk had a specific message for those responsible for taking her husband's life. ERIKA KIRK: “The evildoers responsible for my husband's assassination have no idea what they have done. They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God's merciful love. “They should all know this. If you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before, you have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country. You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.” Send a letter of condolence to Erika Kirk, c/o Turning Point USA, 4940 East Beverly Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85044. Plus, you can make a donation to Erika and her two children as well as a donation to Turning Point to continue the fight for a Biblical worldview and American exceptionalism.  We have both of them linked in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Ray Comfort: Charlie Kirk was so courageous And finally, in a CBN podcast, Evangelist Ray Comfort shared his thoughts on the assassination of Christian Charlie Kirk, reports FaithWire.com. COMFORT: “He was so courageous to touch issues that most of us would be afraid to touch, and he did it with such eloquence. I've never heard anyone with a grasp of the English language like he had, and the guy was absolutely brilliant. “And so, I'm very, very sorry that we've lost a general, but I'm optimistic that God's going to raise up soldiers to continue the work and be even more effective.” Deuteronomy 31:6 says, “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, September 15th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

As Americans, we often describe our nation as founded on freedom and equality. Yet we know the reality is more complicated. For more than 200 years, chattel slavery stripped millions of Africans and their descendants of their freedom, dignity, and humanity. It's a history that shaped every corner of American life — our economy, our politics, even our public health. And yet, today, there are voices attempting to minimize or even erase that truth. Our guest today is Dr. Tawainna Houston — a naturopathic physician, educator, and founder of Black CELL Consulting. In her new book Black Wellness Barriers, she explores how slavery's legacy still manifests in Black communities through generational trauma, systemic exclusion, and persistent health inequities. Together, we'll discuss what happens when history is denied, and why preserving cultural truth is vital to healing and justice.

So what does the science say about trans people and sports? You're not gonna believe this (yes you will), but it's entirely on the side of... trans people. So are elite cis women athletes. So what's the reason behind this push to keep trans women out of women's sports? Bigotry! And yes, we have proof (they've actually admitted it). Also a whole lot of sexism and the belief cis men are simply the best at everything and get super mad when they're not (there's proof of this too). Zoe Aurora Slater, former trainer of competing powerlifters and bodybuilders, returns to discuss the physics of photography and straight hesitancy. Be open to finding yourself along the way, friends.

Conversations on Groong - September 5, 2025In this episode of Conversations on Groong, we speak with Lenna Hovanessian of the ANC-Western Region about the aftermath of the August 8 White House meeting between Pashinyan, Aliyev, and Trump. The discussion examines what was left out of the agreements, including Artsakh's right of return, the release of hostages, and cultural heritage protections, while highlighting the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group and the waiver of Section 907 for U.S. arms sales to Azerbaijan. We also explore strained diaspora–Armenia relations, Pashinyan's retreat from Genocide recognition, and Azerbaijan's lobbying playbook, including the bribery charges against Congressman Henry Cuellar, where the ANCA is pressing for Armenian Americans to be recognized as victims.Topics: Reflections on August 8 White House Meeting Tough Times for DIaspora-Armenia Relations Challenges to Armenian American AdvocacyGuest: Lenna HovanessianHosts:  Hovik Manucharyan  Asbed BedrossianEpisode 470 | Recorded: September 5, 2025SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/470VIDEO: https://youtu.be/ruwhwAhRUN0#ArmenianNews #Artsakh #ANCA #CaviarDiplomacy #CuellarSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

After 35 years UK trio Saint Etienne have decided that their 13th album, International, will be their last. They've gone out with a bang, though, collaborating Confidence Man, The Chemical Brothers Tom Rowlands and Doves' Jez Williams, Haircut 100's Nick Heyward, Erasure's Vince Clark, and more on the album's songs. We talked with 2/3rds of the band, Pete Wiggs and Sarah Cracknell, on the decision to bring an end to Saint Etienne, the many great collaborators on International, what their kids listen to, touring America (including a memorable early gig at New York's infamous Limelight Club), having Oasis open for them in 1994, their 2026 farewell tour, and more.

What if the very foundation of America was built on a system that was never meant to serve us all? And what if reclaiming something as simple and as profound as our intuition could be the key to creating a more just and loving future? In this episode of HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with scholar, advocate, and bestselling author Anna Malaika Tubbs to explore the roots of American patriarchy. Drawing from her recent book Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us and her celebrated debut The Three Mothers, Anna reveals how patriarchy was intentionally written into law, how it continues to shape institutions like healthcare and education, and why reclaiming women's intuition is one of the most radical steps we can take toward change. We explore the intentional design of patriarchy in America's laws, and why recognizing that history is often written by those in power is essential to collective healing. Anna highlights the stories of courageous women who have been erased, yet whose contributions have powerfully shaped our nation's evolution. Anna also shares insights on partnership, motherhood, and the ways our relationships and communities can model new ways of sharing power…the path to true democracy. This conversation is both eye-opening and empowering, offering a reminder that because these systems were built, we have the power to build something different. Key Moments You'll Love:

In this powerful episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, Michael Jaco welcomes Sheila Holm to share the heart and inspiration behind her latest book, A Warrior's Battlefield Strategy Devotional. Designed to counter fear, doubt, and unbelief, Sheila's devotional breaks away from tradition, offering a unique format filled with personal stories, divine guidance, and practical tools for spiritual resilience. Together, Michael and Sheila explore the daily battles of spiritual warfare and the importance of embracing reverential fear to unlock God's protection and strength. Sheila opens up about her journey of faith, the lessons she's learned through trials, and the transformational power of devotionals that equip believers to stand strong in the face of adversity. This conversation is more than a discussion of a book — it's an invitation to step onto the battlefield of life with courage, faith, and unwavering trust in God. Whether you're navigating personal struggles or seeking deeper spiritual growth, this episode will inspire and equip you with strategies for victory.

The hosts present a collection of stories they believe signal a pivotal moment in the nation's history, marked by a fight against corruption on multiple fronts. The episode begins with the breaking news of an FBI raid on former National Security Advisor John Bolton's home, which they hail as a sign that "deep staters" are no longer untouchable. They speculate the raid's purpose is to "flip" Bolton, alleging he illegally possessed documents proving the "Russia collusion hoax" was a fake conspiracy. This theme of accountability extends to the hosts' celebration of Donald Trump's legal win that vacated a fine against him, which they call the end of "lawfare." The hosts also highlight victories on immigration, claiming that over 1.5 million illegal immigrants are now "self-deporting," and they praise a new initiative to review the visas of 55 million foreigners. In their view, this counters a desperate move by Democrats to block deportations by using a federal judge to order the destruction of an immigration detention facility. In a broader cultural critique, the hosts analyze the backlash against the Cracker Barrel logo change, arguing that the company's "woke" CEO is deliberately trying to erase Southern culture and men from the brand's identity. They connect this to other issues, including new archaeological findings that they believe debunk "left-wing" theories of human evolution. The hosts suggest that a powerful, unseen force, possibly linked to a still-active "Project Mockingbird" CIA program, is behind the misinformation and cultural erosion they see in the media and society.

Hello to you listening in Seattle, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more to visit history) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Recently I read a comment on Substack about the changes being wrought by 47 and his criminal cabal to erase - as much as obscenely possible - evidence of slavery in America thereby making history disappear. Yes, many have tried to make history disappear but the stories, the oral histories, the voices, the art, books and photographs remain. Not all - but enough to stand witness.One such book, The Ghosts of Segregation, was authored by our very own Whidbey Island writer and photographer, Richard Frishman who saw what 45's administration was doing and had to do something to defy it.   Unexpectedly, while researching the Ghosts of Segregation, I found my way to the Panama Hotel in Seattle which some of you may remember as the hotel featured in the novel, The  Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, by Jamie Ford.The Panama Hotel remains the repository of personal belongings stored there by some of the 8,000 people of Japanese ancestry who were forced from Seattle and into internment camps (known as War Relocation Centers) set up in Midwestern states as a result of Executive Order 9066. They had one week's warning.Eventually, over 120,000 men, women and children of Japanese ancestry were forced from their homes, businesses and farms on the Pacific Coast in a systematic, government sponsored exile of innocent people. Most of them were United States citizens. The incarceration turned US citizens into refugees in their own country.But the story is still alive staving off erasure. A grant from the National Park Service helped researchers document, catalogue and map the contents of suitcases, trunks, and boxes, over 8500 items left in the hotel basement. Because of the historical value of the Panama Hotel, it was designated as a National Treasure in 2015. Today the Panama Hotel serves as a living time capsule, a shrine to a community, and the site of the Japanese American Museum of Seattle.  Story Prompt: How might we change the future with understanding and compassion so as to defy fear and hatred of The Other?

Adam Hanieh, Rafeef Ziadah, and Robert Knox on their new co-authored book, 'Resisting Erasure: Capital, Imperialism and Race in Palestine'. We spoke about the inadequacy of framing the question of Palestine and the Gaza genocide solely as a humanitarian issue and how the Israeli project of settler-colonialism has been part and parcel of the expansion of European and American capitalism. We also talked about why Israel was so crucial to the creation of a US-dominated order in West Asia and whether there is any prospect of US and Israeli interests significantly diverging. We went on to speak about the so-called Oslo Peace process of the early 1990s and finally Adam, Rafeef, and Robert spoke about the current catastrophic situation in Gaza.

Episode #379: “It's a different migration story,” reflects Amy Hardingson, speaking about her enduring connection to her Burmese heritage, a thread stretching across generations. Her great-grandmother, Hilda, embodied this love, embarking on the perilous Great Trek during World War II to India in 1941. A member of the Eurasian community in Burma, Hilda fled with her three-year-old daughter and seven-month-old son (Amy's grandfather). After losing her husband to malaria during the arduous journey, Hilda and her children were interned by the Japanese in a concentration camp for over a year. Their survival ultimately led them from war-ravaged Burma to the UK in 1947, initiating their family's diaspora story.Growing up mixed-race in the UK, Amy wrestled with a complex identity, often feeling her lived experience didn't conform to societal expectations. She faced intrusive questions and battled “mixed-race imposter-syndrome and anxiety.” Through researching Hilda's family tree, Amy unearthed a mixed heritage stretching back to the beginnings of British colonialism, a revelation that was incredibly healing and reshaped her self-understanding.Amy actively cultivates this rich connection for her daughter, Lucy, through cultural immersion like cooking authentic Burmese food and reading engaging bilingual books. Lucy, at nine, has also enthusiastically embraced this legacy by undertaking a “charity badge” for Girl Guides, choosing to fundraise for Better Burma following the coup. She raised £170, directly aiding 160 different families. This act gifted Lucy a powerful “sense of agency and direct living connection to her Burmese heritage,” says Amy, demonstrating “how every little bit of money helps.”Amy understands that embracing one's heritage, despite external pressures and historical erasures, is important. For her, “untangling that internalized racism is really important to help you to actually forge that sense of self and identity in a healthy and holistic way.” She believes this journey, like a delicate thread, can be repaired, strengthened, and woven into something new, showcasing an evolving identity across time.

Whiskey & Wisdom: The Untold Story of Jack Daniel and Nearest GreenIn this episode of Whiskey & Wisdom, host Whiskey Dan delves into the remarkable yet often forgotten history of Tennessee whiskey, focusing on iconic figures Jack Daniel and Nearest Green.

Dan also highlights the modern revival of Green's legacy through the research efforts of Fawn Weaver, who founded Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey to honor his memory. The episode culminates in a message about the importance of recognizing true history, mentorship, and the long-overdue reconciliation between Jack Daniel's and Nearest Green's stories.00:00 Introduction to Whiskey & Wisdom00:54 The Legend of Jack Daniel02:11 Nearest Green: The First Master Distiller03:07 Building a Legend04:10 The Erasure of Nearest Green04:51 The Revival of the Truth05:41 The Rise of Uncle Nearest06:27 What We Can Learn from Jack & Nearest07:10 Closing Thoughts07:43 Outro

Wallis Annenberg was a titan in the world of philanthropy. An heir to the Anneneberg family fortune, she served as chairman and president of the Annenberg Foundation since 2009, giving away more than $3 billion in charitable grants to a variety of causes, including the arts, wildlife, seniors, and inner-city youth. But the obituaries celebrating her life and lauding her achievements failed to mention that she was well-known in LA's LGBTQ+ community as a lesbian, and she had given significant and critical support for LGBTQ+ causes. It was a noteworthy example of queer erasure – the tendency to remove LGBTQ groups or identity from the historical record.  The queer erasure so bothered her former partner Karen Ocamb – a noted chronicler of the LGBT civil rights movement and the HIV/AIDS crisis that she took to Substack to write about – in a column titled “When Lesbian Philanthropist Wallis Annenberg Helped Save The Gays.” The article drew immediate praise from members of LA's queer community, who were shocked that news outlets failed to mention Annenberg was a lesbian. I interviewed Karen Ocamb about the Wallis she and so many others knew, and about the work Wallis Annenberg did for the LGTBQ+ community.

A San Francisco gay lawmaker has people questioning his motive as he is advocating for getting rid of domestic partnership benefits in the city. Straight unmarried couples often take advantage of the benefit that went away from many organizations, companies, and locales when marriage equality became law. Then, a person related to the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 wants to see what UNC is “teaching.” Many are not complying with the request. Finally, Ellen DeGeneres regrets coming out as it did not have as big of an impact as she wanted. She also saw snow for the first time.

“You can't burn what is already on fire.”Meggan Watterson, a feminist theologian with master's degrees from Harvard Divinity School and Columbia University's Union Theological Seminary, is a bestselling author and founder of the REDLADIES, a spiritual community focused on studying ancient Christian texts that were excluded from the New Testament. Her new book, The Girl Who Baptized Herself, explores a nearly lost first-century scripture about Saint Thecla, a young woman who survived multiple execution attempts and became a reigious teacher, using her story as a roadmap for readers to understand their spiritual worth and reclaim their power. In our conversation, Meggan and I explore how religious institutions have systematically excluded women from spiritual narratives for millennia, how connecting with the feminine divine helped her reclaim her sense of self-worth following sexual assault, and how embracing women's righteous anger can inspire us all to take action in protecting ourselves and others. Meggan invites us to align with our divine purpose, embrace vulnerability as strength, and honor our unique spiritual callings.To read more about inspiring stories about Firestarters like Meggan, grab a copy of my new book Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark Into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age at firedupbook.com.Join me on my book tour!

Today, IndiJewnous activist Lani Anpo joins Jay on the show. Lani is an influential advocate for global Indigenous and Jewish communities. A multi tribal Native American Jew, Lani passionately champions the rights and stories of marginalized groups with a focus on protecting Indigenous sovereignty, promoting self-determination, and preserving history and culture.

Welcome to Episode 57 of the QR Lab Podcast — The Erasure of an American Pillar - THE END OF FREE SPEECHIn this episode, we confront the troubling state of modern political discourse—where the rise of social media promised a democratization of speech, but in reality may have led us into an era of deeper suppression, manipulation, and fear. With powerful interests shaping narratives and amplifying noise over truth, are we truly freer to speak—or more controlled than ever?We explore how the massive megaphone of digital platforms has not necessarily expanded our freedom, but in many ways, narrowed the range of acceptable thought. When disinformation, censorship, and corporate or ideological influence dominate the flow of ideas, where does truth go? And more importantly, what happens to those who try to reveal it?Here's a guiding question: If you want to know who holds the levers of power, ask yourself—who can I not criticize in my own country? The answer may be uncomfortable, but it's essential to understanding the true state of freedom.This isn't a partisan issue—it's a human one. Regardless of your political affiliation, a threat to freedom of speech is a threat to all of us. In a time of growing confusion and control, we must ask: can we still think and speak freely—or are we being conditioned to forget what that even means?Website: https://www.qrlabpod.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@qrlabpod/shortsInstagram: https://instagram.com/qrlabpodEMAIL: qrlabpod@gmail.comJoin us as we examine the digital age's paradox of speech: louder than ever, but less free by the day.

The dialogue presented in this episode highlights the insidious nature of redemptive and unity language as mechanisms that have historically served to silence women's voices within the Church.

They trace the long history of trans existence and its erasure, unpack how moral panic is used to justify control, why transphobia exists on both the right and the left, and how the freedom to live outside the binary can liberate us from other systems of oppression. Digressions include: the highs and lows of plant parenthood, our no-phone summer so far, and a new candy shaking up the scene.

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview In this special episode of Industry Relations, Rob and Greg take a break from real estate to talk about one of their shared passions: music. They explore the most transformative artists and bands across genres from the 70s through today. Their conversation dives deep into the cultural impact of acts like Nirvana, Depeche Mode, NWA, and Metallica, and whether artists like Kanye West, Jay-Z, or Eminem changed the landscape or simply excelled within it. Key Takeaways What Makes an Artist Transformative – Rob and Greg define “transformative” as artists who changed culture or shifted their genre's direction. Rock, Pop, and Hair Metal – From The Police and Joy Division to Motley Crue and Metallica, they debate which bands truly left a mark. New Wave and Synth Pop – A back-and-forth on whether bands like Depeche Mode, Erasure, and Eurythmics defined the New Wave era. The Rise of Hip-Hop – Analysis of Public Enemy, NWA, and Biggie's role in changing rap's tone—from political to gangsta to materialistic. Female Singers and Torch Artists – Greg shares his appreciation for female vocalists, from Tori Amos and Natalie Merchant to Billie Holiday and Aretha Franklin. Jazz, EDM, and Modern Music – A look at how genres like jazz and electronica evolved—and why Rob thinks music hasn't really changed since the 2000s. Cultural Identity and Music in High School – Reflections on how music once defined high school social groups and why today's digital world may be missing that connection.   Connect with Rob and Greg Rob's Website  Greg's Website    Watch us on YouTube   Our Sponsors: Cotality  Notorious VIP The Giant Steps Job Board    Production and Editing Services by Sunbound Studios  

Episode 186: Depeche Mode – Speak & Spell (1981) Part 3 In this episode, Brian and Sarah resume their look back at Depeche Mode's debut album. As a reminder, they're using the US track listing as they talk about the album, but for the songs contained in this episode, the track listing is the same on both sides of the pond.  The next songs up for discussion aren't singles, but that doesn't stop our hosts from finding plenty of things to talk about. Here are just a few examples: •    Sarah's phrase ‘Erasure gallop' is changed to ‘Vince Clarke gallop' due to one of these songs •    Brian's favorite ‘one-two punches' of Depeche Mode album tracks—one of which is found on this album •    The probable origins of the song “What's Your Name?” and whether or not it's actually a bad song.  •    DJ Stevo competing with Daniel Miller to work with Depeche Mode, and the compromise that was reached •    The last live performance of “Photographic” and who was there for it Additionally, our hosts are thrilled to share recordings from two listeners who provided Speak & Spell memories, and there are three reviews to read as well. And here's a friendly reminder that you too, can use the phone number or link below to record your own memories for use in a future episode!
