More To The Story: Just a few years ago, historian and activist Ibram X. Kendi seemed to be everywhere. At the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, he became one of the leading voices on racism in America—and particularly what he described as antiracism. But over the last few years, as a backlash grew against the BLM movement, Kendi also came under attack. His ideas urging people to be actively antiracist were often the target of conservative critics fighting against DEI policies and the teaching of critical race theory. Kendi was also accused of mismanaging an antiracism center at Boston University, which laid off much of its staff before closing last year (BU cleared Kendi of financial mismanagement.) On this week's More To The Story, Kendi responds to the criticism he faced at BU and argues that the Trump administration's policies are harming both white and Black Americans.This is an update of an episode that originally aired in July 2025.Producer: Josh Sanburn, with help from Zulema Cobb and Julia Haney | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonListen: Black in the Sunshine State (Reveal)Read: I'm Racist.

TRINITY LIVE Interview with Adrain Farrar by Ralph Barba

Oliver Munday is a graphic designer and writer. His new book, Head of Household, is a collection of short stories that explore the conditions of modern fatherhood. Perhaps best known for his book cover designs, Oliver is currently the executive director of art and design at Doubleday, previously designed covers for Knopf and Farrar, Straus & Giroux, and served as associate art director of The Atlantic. In this wide-ranging conversation, Jarrett and Oliver talk about his move into fiction, why he wrote a book about fatherhood, and the limits of working as a graphic designer.

A crowded field is lining up to contest the seat of outgoing Liberal leader Sussan Ley after she lost the top job and announced she'll quit politics.Angus Taylor ousted Ms Ley as Liberal leader in yesterday's spill, securing the majority of votes in a secret ballot. The Liberals and Nationals will now be among those vying for the regional New South Wales seat of Farrar in a by-election, as well as One Nation and independent Michelle Milthorpe who ran at the last election against Susan Ley. Australia and the European Union are on the cusp of finally reaching a free trade agreement after talks in Brussels.Trade Minister Don Farrell travelled to Europe earlier this week to revive trade talks, pressing the EU to lower barriers to Australian agricultural exports. If everything goes to plan, EU President Ursula von de Leyen could soon visit Australia to sign the deal with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. US President Donald Trump says fear may be the only thing that will push Iran to reach an agreement on its nuclear program. The American military presence in the region is ramping up as a second aircraft carrier group is deployed to the Middle East.Speaking to US troops in North Carolina, Mr Trump says it's been difficult to make a deal with Iran, and fear may be needed to resolve the standoff. Iran says it's prepared to discuss limits on its nuclear program, in exchange for lifting sanctions.

The new Liberal leader Angus Taylor says he wants to win back voters who are turning to Pauline Hanson's One Nation.The conservative M-P has replaced Sussan Ley after a leadership spill this morning, which Mr Taylor won 34 votes to 17.Recent polling shows a bump in support for One Nation... while the Coalition has recorded a steep drop in support.Mr Taylor says he recognises the Liberal Party is losing votes to the right but says copying the minor party isn't the answer.Sussan Ley will resign from parliament after being ousted, triggering a by-election in the New South Wales seat of Farrar.The Prime Minister has congratulated her for the grace and dignity she's shown on a very difficult day.In a statement, Anthony Albanese says he's spoken with Ms Ley to "wish her the best for her future".Nationals leader David Littleproud - who's had rocky relationship with Ms Ley at times - says she's "shown integrity and class" and that he wishes "her all the best in her future endeavours."The hometown of Cooper Woods has been celebrating his gold medal in the men's moguls at the Milano Cortina 20-26 Winter Olympics.The 25-year-old has become just the seventh Australian to be crowned a Winter Olympic champion.The town of Pambula Beach on the New South Wales far south coast is even in talks about installing a statue or mural of Woods.

Newly-appointed opposition leader Angus Taylor has outlined his priorities for the Liberal Party, after ousting Sussan Ley in a leadership spill this morning.Mr Taylor says he's focused on the challenges of hard-working Australians, and restoring confidence in the Liberal party, which has plummeted in popularity according to a series of recent opinion polls.Victorian Senator Jane Hume has been elected deputy leader, replacing Ted O'Brien.Pauline Hanson has confirmed One Nation will contest the Farrar by-election, triggered by Sussan Ley's decision to exit politics.The decision will see the New South Wales seat she's held since 2001 vacated.Recent polling shows a bump in support for the minor party while the Coalition has recorded a steep drop in support.Ms Hanson says people in the regional electorate feel forgotten.Heavy rain will continue to drench parts of eastern Australia this weekend, with a risk of flooding around a number of rivers.The weather system responsible has arrived from the outback, where it's already brought the highest rain totals in up to 15 years this month.This rare desert drenching is the result of an intrusion of very humid tropical air, an air mass now over Queensland, where it will stall for several days.

A towering brick school in the middle of rural Iowa was built as a promise of progress... bigger classrooms, brighter lights, a future measured in square footage. Decades later, the town around it faded, but the building remained, holding generations of memories that never quite graduated. This episode explores the Farrar Schoolhouse, where ambition, abandonment, and the echoes of childhood seem to linger long after the final bell rang.YouTube -  https://www.youtube.com/@HauntedAmericanHistory hauntedamericanhistory.com Patreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGH Barnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334 AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68S Ebook GOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1 KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_ SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

Send us a textThis week, I chat with Ann Kjellberg, founding editor of the literary magazine Little Star and Book Post, a bite-sized newsletter-based review delivery service, sending well-made book reviews by distinguished and engaging writers, direct to your inbox.Start with a single question: who gets to decide what matters in books—algorithms, crowds, or critics who sign their names? We sit down with editor and publisher Ann Kjellberg to trace a life spent inside literature, from Yale and Farrar, Straus and Giroux to The New York Review of Books, Little Star, and her Substack, Bookpost. Along the way, we explore how clarity, curiosity, and community can still hold the center in a noisy culture.Ann shares how working with émigré writers, including Joseph Brodsky, shaped her view of editing as a craft of ethical clarity—making difficult ideas legible without flattening a writer's voice. We look at the mid-century boom that birthed the paperback revolution and an expanded reading public, then contrast it with today's attention economy, where BookTok trends and Amazon ratings often drown out patient, thoughtful criticism. Ann doesn't dismiss reader enthusiasm; she pairs it with the need for accountable reviews that analyze, cite, and argue—skills that teach us how to think rather than what to buy.We also celebrate indie and radical bookstores as engines of civic life. From hand-selling that starts lifelong reading relationships to nonprofit partnerships that put free books in schools, these shops build the pluralist spaces many communities lack. Ann explains why Bookpost rotates partner bookstores to steer purchases locally, and why a weekly, well-matched review can re-anchor conversation in substance. If you care about the future of reading, criticism, and the free exchange of ideas, this conversation offers a map—and a reason to keep showing up for books and each other.Enjoyed the conversation?

With Donald Trump's presidency creating extra challenges for the rest of the world, questions have been raised over what a small country like New Zealand can do for extra protection. Political commentator and former parliamentary staffer for the National Party David Farrar wrote an opinion piece claiming New Zealand should take up the 125-year-old invitation to become part of Australia. Farrar says the world has turned into a 'might-is-right' environment since Trump took office and that New Zealand needs to get bigger. "We're lucky, because we've got a country which we're very, very close to, we're culturally similar to, we're economically integrated to, and we'd be a lot safer if we're a bigger country."

We're talking about Physical and Mental fitness with Army combat veteran entrepreneur, speaker, and Founder of Soldier Fit, training centers, Danny Farrar. He achieved success as a business owner, MMA fighter and endured events like the Pentagon on 9/11 and combat in Iraq. But we open with one of Farrar's most challenging chapters- his childhood. Like he's done for thousands of fitness clients over the years, Farrar preached lessons he learned from his past, the military and one vivid memory of almost getting choked-out during a mixed martial arts match. However, whether it's a lesson from his life or an observation of society today, Farrar consistently helps people believe they can achieve anything. From fitness to career goals to just wanting to live a better life, Farrar gives the hard truth and often surprising advice. Farrar also shared how the ongoing wave of polarizing news stories; ICE, immigration, social media anger and political unrest, actually reveals a deeper issue within ourselves. And once we conquer it, “anything is possible”.

Dr. William Anderson Gittens**: Welcome to today's podcast! I am your host, Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D., coming to you from beautiful Barbados. Today, we delve into the profound themes of innocence and identity through the lens of visual storytelling. Ancient Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle investigated the essence of reality and the self, laying the foundation for our understanding of innocence and identity (Cambridge Handbook of Identity, n.d.). In my work, *Lisa Wearing Her Dad's Hat: An Analysis of Innocence and Identity* (2026, ISBN 979-8-90271-421-7), I offer a textual analysis and literature review centered around a powerful image: a young child named Lisa wearing her father's oversized hat. Though captured in a fleeting moment, this image invites us to explore the deep interconnection between identity formation and innocence—concepts extensively examined in literature, religious discourse, and contemporary cultural studies.As a photojournalist, cinematographer, cultural theorist, and Doctor of Divinity, I am committed to blending theological and theoretical frameworks to illuminate the layers of meaning embedded within this image. The photograph of Lisa serves as a significant portal for reflection on the biblical and cultural significance of identity and innocence—concepts that resonate not only within religious contexts but are deeply woven into our daily lives.ReferencesBatchen, G.

"Practically speaking, mostly what I'm doing is I'm writing in a hotel room and then writing in the taxi, and then if the TSA queue is long, I might whip my laptop out and balance it on the stanchion and do some more writing, and then get on the other side and write in the lounge and then write on the plane, and whether that means that the laptop's nearly vertical because I'm on a discount airline with with terrible seat pitch, just writing. And so that's it, right? What my real practice is ... I just goddamn write," says Cory Doctorow, author of Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It.This is exciting. We've got Cory Doctorow on the podcast today for Ep. 507. Cory is the author of more than 30 books of nonfiction and fiction, his latest being Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About it. It's published by MCD, an imprint of Farrar, Straus, and Giroux.Ever wonder why Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Amazon, and Apple suck ass? This book will explain why they do and how they got there and maybe, just maybe, how we can get out of this mess. Did you know that Apple factories in China installed suicide nets so workers couldn't kill themselves? Think about that the next time you upgrade your phone. I'm ready for a new computer and it will likely be a Mac, even though they've gotten shitty over the years. Point is we all have blood on our hands.Cory is prolific, his blog posts epic, his books prescient and important. You can learn more about him at craphound.com or read his blog at pluralistic.net. He is a science fiction author, activist, and journalist. In 2020 he was inducted into the Candadian Science Fiction Hall of Fame and he is a special advisor to the Electronic Frontier Foudnation (eff.org), a nonprofit group that defnds freedom in tech law, policy, standards and treaties. You could spend a year or two reading nothing but Cory Doctorow books and, I might add, you'd be better for it.He's one of the good guys, man, and he's out to help us understand the internet.

Send us a textIn this episode, Jeremy Farrar, FRS, of the World Health Organization (WHO), joins new hosts Rebecca Alvania, PhD, MA, MPH, and Robert H. Hopkins, Jr., MD, for an insightful conversation on the power of science, the importance of community, and the urgent need for trust and collaboration in an increasingly polarized world. Drawing on decades of experience—from the early days of HIV/AIDS to pandemic preparedness, vaccine development, and global health leadership—Dr. Farrar shares personal lessons on failure, leadership under pressure, and why optimism, humility, and inclusion are essential to shaping the future of public health.Show NotesA physician-scientist, international health leader, and advocate, Dr. Farrar's work has spanned HIV/AIDS, research on avian influenza, and leadership at Wellcome, where he helped guide the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He now serves as assistant director-general of health promotion and disease prevention and control at WHO, providing leadership on infectious and noncommunicable diseases, health promotion, food safety, and the health impacts of environmental change. In 2019, NFID honored him with the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Humanitarian Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to global public health. TranscriptAlvania:Welcome to the NFID podcast, Infectious IDeas. This is Rebecca Alvania, NFID CEO, and with me is my co-host, NFID Medical Director, Dr. Bob Hopkins. Hopkins:Hey, happy to be here, Rebecca. Alvania:Our guest today is Dr. Jeremy Farrar. He serves as the World Health Organization's Assistant Director-General of health promotion and disease prevention and control. Many of you know him for his groundbreaking work on infectious diseases with pandemic potential. He's also held major leadership roles, including director of the Welcome Trust and co-founder of Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), the global effort to speed vaccine development and ensure access worldwide. In 2019, NFID honored him with the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Humanitarian Award. It recognized his impact on global public health and his commitment to making the world a more equitable place. Jeremy, thank you so much for joining us. Farrar:Great pleasure. Alvania:All right, we're going to start at the beginning. You began your career working in HIV AIDS. How did those early experiences shape you as a scientist?Farrar:That would have been in the late 1980s and of course, that was the time that HIV was becoming known about. And I do remember—I was a medical student, and soon after graduating—just the impact this had. I was working in London at the time, and medical students and doctors had got used to the idea that many things were treatable, and then suddenly you had mostly young individuals coming in. And frankly, there was very little anybody could do. Obviously, we didn't know what the cause was, and that was devastating, actually. But also on the positive side, as a result of great science and great public health, some solutions did start to come, and I pay huge tribute to the community who were then known to be living with HIV, because the role they played in pushing science and pushing public health was, I think, absolutely groundbreaking. And I'm not sure the establishment would have got there quite the way it did without that pressure from the community. So, three lessons: one, is the devastating impact of something new, in this case, HIV. Secondly, the incredible power of science. And thirdly, the critical importance of communities being part of engagFollow NFID on social media

I had Ross Farrar on to discuss the 1992 movie 'Sleepwalkers'. Hell yeah.

While he may have been called a demagogue and a counterfeit Mussolini, Huey Long had some darn tootin' good ideas—mainly taxing the rich into oblivion. Strange Country cohosts Beth and Kelly talk about Long's rise to populist power in the 1930s and the corruption in its wake, but also how much a 65% tax increase on the rich makes a whole lotta sense. Like Long said "We only propose that, when one man gets more than he and his children and children's children can spend or use in their lifetimes, that then we shall say that such person has his share. That means that a few million dollars is the limit to what any one man can own." Theme music: Big White Lie by A Cast of Thousands Cite your sources: Burns, Ken, director. Huey Long.

Paul engages in what he calls “foolish boasting,” but his point is anything but foolish. Instead of bragging about power or success, he lists his hardships, beatings, and close calls with death. These things are the source of mockery by some, but the Apostle boasts about his weaknesses. His suffering is not a sign of failure, but evidence of his devotion to Christ. In a world obsessed with strength, Paul teaches that it is in weakness that God's power is most clearly seen.  The Rev. Dr. John Hellwege, Jr., pastor of Salem Lutheran Church in Farrar, MO, and Zion Lutheran Church in Crosstown, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 2 Corinthians 11:16-33.  To learn more about Salem and Zion Lutheran, visit salemlutheran8.wixsite.com/SalemandZion. What does it mean to follow Christ in weakness? What does true ministry look like in the face of criticism, suffering, and spiritual warfare? And how can the Church hold fast to the Gospel when pressured by the world—and even by false teachers within? On Thy Strong Word, we walk verse by verse through, arguably, the apostle Paul's most personal, emotional, and paradoxical letter: 2 Corinthians. From forgiveness and reconciliation to generous giving and boasting only in the Lord, 2 Corinthians calls every believer to follow Christ boldly. This is the way of the cross, where God's grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in you. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
