In a special twist for this episode, David interviews Mark-Eugene Garcia during a Friday the 13th birthday book signing celebrating the publication of his three plays: With Bated Breath, Eight Tales of Pedro, and Goat Blood. They dive into Mark-Eugene's two-decade journey as a Chicano playwright—from his first musical Up in the Air, which evolved into the wild, sex-fueled satire With Bated Breath, to his current work exploring Latine stories rooted in heritage, myth, and horror. Joining them are Sergio Caetano and Hraban Luyat, two original cast members from Goat Blood, who give a chilling live performance of the play's opening scene. The featured works span a mythic border-crossing folktale (Eight Tales of Pedro), a monster thriller layered with grief and identity (Goat Blood), and a surreal small-town comedy about religious repression and pharmaceutical chaos (With Bated Breath). It's a rich conversation about storytelling, culture, performance, and the monsters—real and metaphorical—that shape us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of The Professor Liberty Podcast, Mr. Palumbo takes listeners on a journey through the early life of Abraham Lincoln, tracing his transformation from a poor frontier boy in Kentucky to a rising political force. Born into hardship, Lincoln's character was shaped by loss, manual labor, and a relentless hunger for knowledge, which he fed through books like the Bible and Aesop's Fables. The episode highlights key formative experiences—his exposure to slavery as a child, a life-changing visit to a slave market in New Orleans, and his early political stances opposing slavery's expansion. Through humor, storytelling, and historical insight, Mr. Palumbo explores how Lincoln's evolving moral convictions and legal intellect laid the groundwork for his future role as a leader dedicated to justice and unity.

By 1985, REM had carved out a following both in their home base of Athens, GA and at colleges and indie radio stations around the US. Their first two albums Murmur and Reckoning gave them a foothold as they learned how to craft songs and play live. But they were ready to take the next step so instead of retreating to North Carolina where they'd recorded their first two albums, they went to London to broaden their horizons and up their songwriting and recording game. Because REM had grown into a solid live band, some songs were worked out on the road like their classic travel song Driver 8. But they also sought inspiration from some of the odd characters they encountered in Athens and around the South with songs like Wendell Gee, Life And How To Live It and Old Man Kensey. They also drew from their travels to create some great road songs like Can't Get There From Here, Maps & Legends and Feeling Gravity's Pull. Guitarist Peter Buck does his jangly best here while breaking out a little banjo in spots. Mike Mills not only locks down the bass but provides harmonies and counterpoints to Michael Stipes desperate and personal lyrics. This album would portend the next two REM records - Life's Rick Pageant and Document - both favorites of The Wolf. While the band would go onto become multi-platinum international pop superstars in the 90s, this album saw the band not ready to become that big but ready to take the next step in their journey. It's a fun one to dive into as it turns 40!
