It's a lesser-known case in the docket for the Supreme Court, but if The Indian Child Welfare Act is overturned, it could have massive implications for the laws that govern Indigenous sovereignty in the United States. We talk with author and activist Rebecca Nagle about the case of Baby O and the Librettis and how their story led to Halaand v. Brakeen. But, we also investigate the money and interests behind the lawsuit. There's a lot at stake. Maybe even the very nature of tribal laws, which were enshrined in the constitution itself. Though there are real Native children at the heart of the lawsuit, the overturning of ICWA is not just a custody battle.   Covering the movements, issues and people fighting for some of the most important social justice issues of our time.

On June 9, 1931, watchmaker Eugène Meylan registered a new company, Automatic EMSA, to exploit his latest innovation, a central-rotor automatic winding mechanism that could be paired with nearly any small round movement. This would catapult Glycine, the company Meylan founded as a young man, to prominence with the first mass-market automatic watch. But the story of Meylan's life is much more compelling and tragic, and reveals a great deal about the history of watchmaking in the first half of the 20th century. Today we are celebrating the accomplishments of Eugène Meylan and considering his life, which was tragically cut short in 1955. This episode is divided into three 15 minute segments: Promising young watchmaker Eugène Meylan founds La Glycine but is soon forced out Meylan's self-winding mechanism makes Glycine's Automatic the envy of the industry The tragic story of Meylan's life and untimely death More Information: Glycintennial.com Eugène Meylan, Glycine, and the Fight Over the First Automatic Watch Ranfft Pink Pages: Glycine Eugene Meylan

They discuss the staggering changes to our country in the 20 years since 9/11; the flaws, misdeeds, and injustices of the “war on terror” and the regimes that have executed it; and how America was led by the worst act of domestic terror on its own soil down a vicious, bellicose, and anti-democratic path to an authoritarian president like Trump.

She is the founder and creator of Nubian Nudist, an organization for black nudists and naturists that is based in New Jersey and has members across the US as well as some abroad. Serell talks candidly about the origins of her nudism, creating social spaces for body-positive acceptance, and releasing shame to begin loving all of yourself. Before the featured interview in The Blanket Fort, Wendy Sheridan and Robin Renée take a personal look at the important work of processing negative emotions. The 3 Random Facts that get things started this time involve koala fingerprints, penguin urine, and a fateful moment in the life of LBJ. In the News is the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and help needed for abandoned Afghans, Andrew Cuomo's replacement by new New York Governor Kathy Hochul, Proud Boys v. Antifa in Portland, rally boos for Trump, a Sex Pistols legal battle, and two "water can be dangerous" stories. At the end of the show, Robin and Wendy address a listener's question, "What are the real reasons people are choosing not to get vaccinated and what would change their minds?" Things to do: Check out the Nubian Nudist website and follow the group on Instagram and Twitter. Learn about the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR).

Architect Maria Ludwig Michael Mies changed his name.  He added his mother's maiden name Rohe and the Dutch “van der” to become, drum roll please, Mies van der Rohe. Most of his fans just refer to him as Mies – like Cher or Moby or Beyonce, he’s still one of the most famous architects in the world some 50 years after his death.  Today we talk about his greatest house – the Farnsworth House – with Alex Beam, author of the new book Broken Glass: Mies Van Der Rohe, Edith Farnsworth, and the Fight Over a Modernist Masterpiece - and Scott Mehaffey, Executive Director of the Farnsworth house in Plano IL, which you can visit.  Later on, a few minutes with Frank Harmon, reading from his book Native Places.

Glimpses into the Unseen Part 3 - The Fight Over our Prayers

As we mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, we talk about why it is important that we exercise our imaginations to remember history and maintain a clear perspective on the threats that lead to such destructive warfare. The Chagos Islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean have been strategically critical for Britain and America. The United Nations is now pressuring these nations to give them up, as they have done with so many other of their once-prized sea gates. America’s farmers are facing a double crisis of weather disasters on one hand and trade policies that are drying up foreign markets on the other. We talk about the vulnerabilities of America’s food supply. And I conclude the program by telling you about a haunting trip I took to a World War II battleground.

Episodes 84: The Epicenter of the Fight Over the IDC by Max & Murphy

In December 2007, the U.S. marked the beginning of its longest recession since World War II. Now the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an agency born in the ashes of the nation's economic downturn, is under new leadership that promises big changes. Meanwhile, a tax plan speeding through Congress could have far-reaching effects on the economy, well beyond taxes. On paper, the U.S. economy looks robust. But for whom, and for how long? This week, Annie Lowrey and Alana Semuels join our hosts to look at what's happened in the decade since the Great Recession, and what's happening now. What lessons have we learned from the crisis? And which are we doomed to repeat?

It’s one of the most bizarre episodes in American food history: when butter and margarine were at war. What you choose to spread on your toast might seem like a boring subject, but it turns out to be fascinating and sometimes hilarious. Margarine’s history began with French emperor Napoleon III, a French chemist, and some sheep’s stomachs, and went on to include heated courtroom debates, our first federal laws regulating food, and outlaws smuggling faux butter across state lines. The spreads have competed for more than a hundred years, and public preferences shift each time our understanding of health science changes. In this episode of Distillations we learn about the history of butter and margarine and explore the distinctly American debates they inspired involving food, health, science, and regulation.

In March 1913, Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson threw the most beautiful typeface in the world off of London's Hammersmith Bridge to keep it out of the hands of his estranged printing partner. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll explore what would lead a man to destroy the culmination of his life's work -- and what led one modern admirer to try to revive it. We'll also scrutinize a housekeeper and puzzle over a slumped child. Intro: Gustav Mahler rejected the Berlin Royal Opera because of the shape of his nose. In 1883, inventor Robert Heath enumerated the virtues of glowing hats. Sources for our feature on the Doves Press: Marianne Tidcombe, The Doves Press, 2002.
