How has music inspired politics, and vice versa? In our latest episode, we talk with activist and musician Casey Neill (@caseyneill) about music, politics, influences, story-telling and environmentalism in a world where nothing is normal anymore. We also note the passing this week of two renowned Vietnam War scholars- John Prados and George Herring. Casey Neill is a Portland, Oregon-based singer/songwriter known for blending politically oriented folk with Celtic, punk, country, and other styles. Originally from the East Coast but moved to Olympia, Washington to attend Evergreen State University, where he became interested in environmentalism and protest music. Throughout the mid-'90s, Neill worked in the Pacific Northwest underground music scene, self-releasing a handful of cassettes and CDs before signing with the Appleseed label. --------------------------- Interlude and Outro- "Manchester Rambler" and "Dancing on the Ruins of Multinational Corporations" by Casey Neill Links// Casey Neill and the Norway Rats: https://www.caseyneill.com/ Get Casey's music on Bandcamp: https://caseyneill.bandcamp.com/ John Prados, Master of Uncovering Government Secrets, Dies at 71 (https://bit.ly/3XWwmxQ) George Herring 1936-2022 (https://bit.ly/3VTlO0F) Follow Green and Red// G&R Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast https://greenandredpodcast.org/ Support the Green and Red Podcast// Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast Or make a one time donation here: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR **Our friends with Certain Days now have their 2023 calendar available and we bought ten copies.

BiG Ideas, a podcast from the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society at Bowling Green State University, is excited to announce The Enlightenment, a bite-sized podcast, written and hosted by ICS intern Taylar Stagner. In this episode, Stagner speaks with undergrads, graduate students, and professors who share how the Covid-19 pandemic, and the campus shut down it has caused, have affected their lives.   Jolie: Hello. You're listening to the Big Ideas podcast. I'm Dr. Jolie Sheffer, associate professor of English and American culture studies and the director of the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society at Bowling Green State University. This is not a typical episode. The conversation you are about to hear was recorded during the COVID-19 crisis, so you may very well notice a difference in our sound quality. You'll also notice that we've got a different format. We wanted to capture some of the incredible challenges facing BGSU students, faculty, and staff during this world-historical event, as well as document some of the incredible creativity, resiliency, and generosity we've seen. Jolie: Now more than ever, we believe it's important to hear thought-provoking and inspiring stories about big ideas featuring members of our community. The following episode is one of several short-form stories being produced and reported by Taylar Stagner, a master student in the American culture studies program and an ICS intern. We're calling this series, The EnlightenMinute. We hope you enjoy it. Stay safe out there. Taylar: Welcome to EnlightenMinute, a bite-sized podcast from the desk of ICS. I'm Taylar Stagner with more on how students and faculty at BGSU are dealing with the drastic shift in university life. Online video applications, like WebEx, Zoom, and Skype, help peers and instructors converse with each other during the statewide shelter in place order. No unnecessary travel is permitted and all classes and projects have been moved online. In the shuffle to switch instruction online to slow the spread of COVID-19, one of our interns at ICS is missing out on her last semester of college. Renee Hopper is getting her bachelor's degree in creative writing with a minor in German. To finish her minor, she was going to go to Germany before the shutdown. Renee: And I wasn't planning on being on campus next year at all because of study abroad. And now that summer is canceled, I have to figure out a way to take German online at a different university this summer and transfer it over, which I've heard is a rough process. Taylar: After BGSU moved to online instruction, Renee moved back to her home outside of Columbus in Dublin, Ohio with her parents and older brother. I asked her how that was going. Renee: Most days, pretty good, now that we're used to it. I've established my own little space in our dining room where my mom literally took our own Snuggies and hung them in the doorways so that I have my own enclosed little office. Absolutely innovative. But when I'm in there, I can pretty much be counted on that they're not going to come in and I can work. Taylar: While Hopper can make do, she can't help but feel like her undergraduate career ended anticlimactically. She had to go and empty out her dorm room during spring break. Renee: It was really melancholy. I wasn't expecting it, especially because there are so many fun things to prod at about dorm life, like you don't have a kitchen and you really miss food. But just the fact that I hadn't been expecting to start packing up so quickly made it harder to walk in the room and be like, "Oh, all of this is coming back with me right now." And it was really strange that I couldn't even go get food and use a bit more of my Falcon dollars before we left. I had to order one of those little robots and it brought us Dunkin and we had a little moment there. But it just felt, it didn't feel permanent at the time just because it was such an odd time to do it and because there were so few people on campus. Taylar: Hopper isn't the only one having difficulties with the change. Masters student Justin Kindelt moved to Northwest Ohio from Evergreen State University in Tacoma to pursue a American Studies degree. And since the switch, his workload as a student and graduate assistant has doubled. Justin: I feel like it's exploded, gotten huge. I mean, a lot of my projects had to switch from what they were supposed to be to something I can do at home, which you can't blame anybody for. It happens. But, and then one class, three papers have been added. Taylar: And that's not mentioning the change in responsibilities as a teaching assistant for the School of Cultural and Critical Studies. Justin: Teaching, what used to be a discussion that I get to lead on Fridays is something I have to type up every Thursday night. My students, I think, are suffering from the same problem, but it's not engaging us. Hey, here's some things, hopefully you can answer some of it. Taylar: Kindelt also thinks you lose something with the transfer to discussion boards and even video conferencing. You lose some of the back and forth. Justin: Well, I like discussions. I like to hear what somebody says and then respond to it and talk about this, talk about that. And it just feels like written discussions are much more formal. Even at two classes that we still video chat into, you've got to hit a button to raise your hand. And the professor picks whether or not to call on you, and you've got to turn your mic on and off. So there's just, the flows not there as much. It's much more structured, even if it's not academically structured. It's not as easy to just engage in the conversation. There's at least button pressing between communications on every aspect of it. Taylar: Teaching online is not something new for Dr. Kim Coates, the director of the American culture studies program. I asked Coates about how some professors think keeping strict deadlines on assignments instills normalcy in this chaotic time. She says that it's okay for professors to be lenient, but communication is key. Kim: That doesn't mean that I have been less or I've expected less from them in terms of the work that they do, but what I'm letting them know is that if they need more time to do it or any other types of flexibility that I'm willing to accommodate them. Taylar: With many students and professors with tenuous access to reliable internet, a physical library and uncertain global unrest, unneeded stress can add to our likelihood of sickness, something Coates hopes to avoid by communicating with her students. Kim: Again, I think all of us are doing the very best we can right now, and to expect ourselves to do our very best work or to be performing at our peak is just unreasonable and we're only setting ourselves up for disappointment and perhaps getting sick ourselves. And we don't want that. Taylar: Truly, these are unprecedented times to be getting an education, but Coates leaves us with some encouraging words. Kim: My generation, and even your generation, Taylar, and a few before have not experienced anything like this. It's really been since World War II that something like this has affected our country as a whole, as well as the entire globe. Seeing how we all come together and get through when circumstances demand that we do so, I think we've all done a really good job. So I'm proud of my students, I'm proud of my colleagues, I'm proud of BGSU. Taylar: In our next EnlightenMinute, how do graduate students and professors produce research during COVID-19? How much can we expect of ourselves, and how do we move forward with shaken up research plans? I'm Taylar Stagner and I hope you've enjoyed reaching Enlighten Minute. Jolie: You can find the Big Ideas podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, or wherever you like to listen. This episode was written, researched and produced by Taylar Stagner with editing by Stevie Scheurich. Special thanks go out to Marco Mendoza for his extraordinary sound editing in challenging conditions.

When two people get married, the story can usually write itself: vows, a commitment, the promise of forever. January 15, 1954 (New York Daily News) And then for not quite half of those married couples: Divorce. It sets off another set of plot points we know all too well — anger, bitterness, and scarring-of-the-children. January 12, 1962 (ullstein bild / Contributor) But according to Michelle Crosby, CEO of a start-up called Wevorce, divorce doesn't have to end in tears, and many of Silicon Valley's big tech investors believe she has the algorithm to prove it.  Trained as a traditional family lawyer, Crosby couldn't shake the sense that her work — stoking emotional legal disputes between divorcing parties — was frustrating and out of date. Why, she wondered, were separated parents fighting over their children's haircuts through lawyers' offices? What was the point of haggling over a birthday party in legalese? Why did the process have to be so expensive? Hadn't the past 30 years of custody battles taught the profession anything? It was a very techie way of thinking… and it appealed to the techie world. Crosby pitched investors at the prestigious tech incubator Y Combinator in 2013 on a system that works by attracting couples to the service, collecting data on them through an initial survey, and using their results to classify each person as a particular divorce "archetype." There are 18 archetypes in all. (Courtesy of Wevorce) Then, the Wevorce team of counselors, family planners, and lawyers steps in. They use their research, data, and training to mediate at predictable moments of tension — a processing system kind of like TurboTax or H&R Block.  Crosby is adamant that Wevorce isn't about about filing divorce papers on Facebook (though that's also a thing) or downloading the latest custody planning apps. It's about using tech to upend a system. This is an argument, according to historian Stephanie Coontz, rooted in the idea that divorce is an institution as embedded in history and culture as Gwyneth Paltrow's latest tuxedo jumpsuit, and thus within society's power to change.  Plus, it should be said: divorce is a $30 billion market with very little competition.  So, on this week's show, we're testing out the premise: Can tech solve this very emotional crossroads for people? Do cold-hearted data and algorithms have the power to make the human break-up less painful...and maybe even help us better understand love and commitment? In this week's episode: Michelle Crosby, CEO and co-founder of Wevorce Stephanie Coontz, Author and Professor of History and Family Studies at Evergreen State University Andrew Olson, divorced father of 3 Subscribe to Note to Self on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn, I Heart Radio, or anywhere else using our RSS feed.  

An interview with Banff Mountain Literature Award winner Steve House Leading alpinist Reinhold Messner once called Steve House “the best high altitude climber in the world today.” That's no small praise coming from the first man to solo the summit of Everest without oxygen. In his late 30s House has had a distinguished career ascending the most challenging routes on many of the highest mountains in the world. Just after the release of his new memoir Beyond the Mountain House shared his thoughts on his earliest days in the sport. "The real turning point for me in my climbing career, and I talk about this in the book, and I think it was an important moment for me," House said. "I decided after high school to take a year and do a student exchange. And got sent to Yugoslavia." Originally House I had hoped to go to France. Instead he spent a year in the mountain region once known as Slovenia. "I was there for a couple of months, super board! As a kid I didn't understand the language having a really a hard time making friends. And climbing was my deliverance from all that," he said. "You don't need to communicate that much with language when you're going climbing with somebody. I found and joined a climbing club there and I wound up dropping out of school and spent that whole summer climbing." House said that it was at this point when for him the hook for climbing was set. He'd go one to earn an ecology degree from Evergreen State University in Olympia Washington and from there he'd become a professional mountain guide, leading expeditions and climbing solo while pushing the boundaries of high altitude adventure. In this edition of The Joy Trip Project Steve House tells the story behind his award winning book. Music this week by Jake Shimabukuro from the album Dragon.
