Keith O'Brien's CHARLIE HUSTLE is the definitive story of Pete Rose's rise and fall, built with the help of federal court documents never utilized before, interviews with three former associates who placed Pete's bets on baseball, 27 hours of interviews with Pete himself, and over 150 hours of interviews in all. It is the story unlike it's ever been told before at a time when Pete's greatest sin—gambling on sports—is now legal in most places and encouraged by baseball itself. This year, Americans are on pace to legally wager $130 billion on sports, a new record. CHARLIE HUSTLE is also a snapshot of baseball and America during a time when everything changed. Between 1960 and 1989—Pete's career in baseball—the game transitioned from being an unpolished national pastime, rough around the edges and to a diverse, billion-dollar sport covered by 24-hour news networks. Pete's many misdeeds in the shadows would not be tolerated in this new world. And the book makes clear that Pete self-destructs off the field for the same reason why he ever succeeded on it. Put simply: He refused to lose. He refused to break. He refused to tell the truth about his addictions, until it was too late. KEITH O'BRIEN is the New York Times bestselling author of Paradise Falls, Fly Girls, and Outside Shot, a finalist for the PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sportswriting, and an award-winning journalist. O'Brien has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Politico, and his stories have also appeared on National Public Radio and This American Life. He lives in New Hampshire.

Opening Day - Gambling & Charlie Hustle w/ Keith O'Brien + History of the World Series by Tyler Kepler NYT Baseball Writer AZ TRT S05 EP14 (229) 4-7-2024    What We Learned This Week Gambling Scandal parallels of Pete Rose vs Dodger's Shohei Othani Charlie Hustle the icon - Rise & Fall Business of Baseball - Drafting Players to Analytics & how the Game has evolved History of the World Series - Did Babe Ruth call his shot?   Guest: Keith O'Brien  Website: https://keithob.com/       Keith is the New York Times best-selling author of Paradise Falls, Fly Girls, and Outside Shot, a finalist for the PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing, and an award-winning journalist. O'Brien has written for The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and Politico, and his stories have also appeared on National Public Radio and This American Life. He lives in New Hampshire.       About the Book “CHARLIE HUSTLE: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose, and the Last Glory Days of Baseball”   Pete Rose bounded out of the dugout like a hurricane spinning unfettered through the world. He slid head-first into bases in a mist of dust and fury. He sprinted out walks like a teenager. He was loud. Brash. Supremely confident. Entirely focused. He approached every game with ferocity and raw emotion—often like he was in the middle of a bar room brawl—and endeared himself to the fans because of it. He seemed to manufacture runs out of pure will power. He racked up mind-boggling stats and awards and streaks and wins and pennants and titles with seeming ease. When his team needed clutch hits, he provided them. When glory was 90 feet away, he reached for it. He bowled over catchers at home plate, shouted at pitchers to intimidate them, and ripped through middle infielders to break up the play. He would beat them all. One way or another. Pete Rose would never back down. Could never back down.   This spring, author Keith O'Brien and Pantheon Books will present the gritty and gripping new biography of the flawed legend—baseball's tragic character—the man who could never return to the game he lived to play: “CHARLIE HUSTLE: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose, and the Last Glory Days of Baseball” (Pantheon Books, March 26, 2024). It is a story unlike any other in baseball history. A story of virtuosity and success; addictions and secrets; recklessness and many missed opportunities for salvation.    For over 25 years in Major League Baseball—from 1963 to 1989—Pete Rose was the sport's unquestioned hero on the field. He was the heart of the Big Red Machine dynasty in Cincinnati. Rookie of the Year in 1963. MVP in 1973. He won three batting titles. Two gold gloves. Six National League pennants. Three World Series titles. He was named to 17 NL All-Star games at five different positions. He became the all-time hit king in the process, surpassing the legendary Ty Cobb. He was extraordinary while seemingly ordinary in equal measure, and the fans loved him for what they knew to be true. Pete Rose wasn't physically gifted or a particularly special athlete. He was like the rest of us. He was Charlie Hustle. The American Dream in red stirrup socks. Baseball personified. With bat in hand, Pete Rose was the hero, forever young, forever relevant, but a storm was coming.   Yes, Rose was both a miracle and a disaster. His opponents viewed him with both reverence and disdain. While some of them believed that his Charlie Hustle routine was a joke or that his aggressive antics were just plain dangerous, they respected his greatness and his longevity in the game. There was no doubt that he often came off as uneducated, unpolished, boorish, and rude, but most figured that he had earned the right to his “unique” perspective over the years. But then the rumors started to circulate that he was mingling with an unsavory crowd. Shady characters that included well-known bookies and gamblers. It wasn't a secret that Rose had always been a gambler, but now there was growing evidence that he was betting on the sport that had made him a household name. With the 1919 Black Sox scandal looming as the cautionary tale still fresh in the game's history, this growing storm threatened to destroy everything Rose had built. He could lose his livelihood and the game itself. It could strip away the mythology and dismantle the icon and reveal the very flawed human being he was off the field. So he did the only thing Pete Rose could do in the face of overwhelming evidence and his impending exile.    He lied. And continued to lie for 15 long years.   CHARLIE HUSTLE also covers: * His fraught relationship with his father—Pete Rose Sr.—the semi pro, Cincinnati sports legend * How Rose overcame his lack of athleticism as a child with the intangibles that personified “Charlie Hustle” * The terms of his first professional contract—enthusiastically signing for $7000  * His early seasons of darkness in the lowest rungs of professional baseball * The public relations bonanza when the local West High boy made the Cincinnati Reds' Opening Day roster * Rose's long relationship with the city of Cincinnati * His courtship and marriage to Karolyn Ann Engelhardt, which ended in divorce in 1979 * Rose's batting philosophies and the roots of his unusual crouching batting stance  * Rose's early entrees into gambling at spring training in Tampa—his infamous “triple headers” * How Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford came up with his “Charlie Hustle” nickname and how they had intended it to be an insult * Rose's game-winning run in the 1970 All Star Game and how he and Ray Fosse were dinner companions the night before * How "The Big Red Machine”—the nearly unbeatable Cincinnati Reds dynasty of the 1970s—took shape * The details surrounding Rose's affair with a girl half his age—a teenager—in the mid-1970s * The early divide and rivalry between Pete Rose and teammate Johnny Bench  * The revelation that Tony Perez was the true leader in the locker room for those Reds dynasty teams * Rose's rivalry with the Oakland A's ace Jim “Catfish” Hunter during the 1972 World Series * Rose's dust up with Bud Harrelson in the 1973 NLCS which left the Reds players fearful for their safety * How Curt Flood's fight for free agency affected Pete's contract negotiations during the era * Rose's relentless pursuit of Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak in the summer of 1978 * His brazen longtime affair with a woman named Terry Rubio, who would ultimately file a paternity suit against Rose * Rose's incomprehensible ability to play extremely well while going through all manners of personal turmoil * Rose's role as savior of the Philadelphia Phillies, a team that had never won a World Series, but soon would in 1980 after signing Rose as a free agent in 1979 * The details surrounding Rose's single off of San Diego Padres' pitcher Eric Show for hit number 4,192 * The rumors that Rose had been using a corked bat in his later years and may have even used them for his march to the hits record * Background on the shady collection of bookies, railbirds, lackeys, dope dealers, and gofers who surrounded Rose in those later years * The evidence that not only was Pete Rose a gambler, but a terrible gambler—he lost a lot  * How and why a manager betting on his home team harms the game  * The self-deprecating, chain-smoking academic from Yale University—A. Bartlett Giamatti—whose handling of the scandal as the Commissioner of Baseball was a master class in crisis management * How an impending Sports Illustrated story about Pete Rose betting on baseball backed to baseball into a corner in how it dealt with the matter  * How if Pete Rose had admitted to betting on baseball in an initial meeting with Peter Ueberroth, Bart Giamatti, and Fay Vincent, he most likely would have incurred a light punishment  * The release of the Dowd Report, and the background of its special counsel, John Dowd * The details surrounding Bart Giamatti's death in 1989 * The Baseball Hall of Fame's response to Pete Rose's candidacy * How, in 2004, he published a book where he admitted to betting on baseball and on the Cincinnati Reds * How reinstatement eluded him—in 2004, 2015, 2020, and 2022—and, if anything, his situation grew worse * Theories why Rose hasn't I been forgiven to date * Baseball's ever-evolving relationship with sports gambling and what that means for Pete Rose and for the future of the sport * The six simple words that might have changed everything: “I'm sorry I bet on baseball.”   New York Times bestselling author Keith O'Brien grew up in Cincinnati when Pete Rose was at the peak of his fame and witnessed his shocking downfall first-hand. More than three decades later, it's hard to appreciate how much the controversy became such a part of the American conversation. The mythology surrounding Pete Rose was so fixed and strong that the disgust, frustration, pity, and confusion that followed his banishment stirred endless debates about the man, the allegations he faced, and, in turn, about the game of baseball itself as arbiter. Rose quickly became a fault line in the collective American conscience, and it clearly marked the end of the age of innocence in sports. O'Brien documents all of this like never before in CHARLIE HUSTLE, with unprecedented reporting and access. He met with Rose in person and they spoke on the record for 27 hours, before Rose stopped calling back, before he shut down. O'Brien is the only biographer that Rose has ever spoken to when he didn't have any editorial control.    Beyond those conversations, O'Brien delved into thousands of pages of previously unutilized federal court documents, newly released FBI files, raw TV footage, decades of newspaper articles, Major League Baseball's voluminous 1989 investigation into Rose's misdeeds; and nearly 150 hours of interviews with Rose's friends, enemies, former teammates, family members, two former Commissioners of baseball, three people who placed his bets, four different investigators who dug up his secrets, and the special counsel who led the charge, John Dowd.   Pete Rose loved baseball and wanted to play forever. Keep hitting forever. Never grow old. Never stop swinging. Never go home. But the same qualities that made him a successful baseball player—and one of the greatest hitters of all time—ensured his banishment. He couldn't be vulnerable. Couldn't beg for forgiveness. Or even apologize until it was far too late. Doomed by his own ignorance and hubris, Pete Rose was going down.           Guest: TYLER KEPNER  Website: https://www.nytimes.com/by/tyler-kepner   Tyler is the author of the New York Times bestseller K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches. He has covered every World Series game of the last two decades for The New York Times. He started his career as a teenager, interviewing players for a homemade magazine in the early 1990s. He attended Vanderbilt University on the Grantland Rice/Fred Russell sportswriting scholarship, then covered the Angels for the Riverside (Calif.) Press-Enterprise and the Mariners for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He joined The New York Times in 2000, covering the Mets for two seasons, the Yankees for eight, and serving as the national baseball writer since 2010.  From the New York Times bestselling author of K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches, a highly entertaining, revelatory history of the World Series, filled with gripping behind-the-scenes stories from 117 years of the Fall Classic.  The World Series is the most enduring showcase in American team sports. It's the place where legends are made, where celebration and devastation can hinge on a fly ball off a foul pole or a grounder beneath a first baseman's glove. And there's no one better to bring this rich history to life than New York Times national baseball columnist Tyler Kepner, whose bestselling book about pitching, K, was lauded as “Michelangelo explaining the brush strokes on the Sistine Chapel” by Newsday. In seven scintillating chapters, Kepner delivers an indelible portrait of baseball's signature event. He digs deep for essential tales dating back to the beginning in 1903, adding insights from Hall of Famers like Reggie Jackson, Mike Schmidt, Jim Palmer, Dennis Eckersley and many others who have thrived – and failed – when it mattered most.  Why do some players, like Madison Bumgarner, Derek Jeter and David Ortiz, crave the pressure? How do players handle a dream that comes up short? What's it like to manage in the World Series, and what are the secrets of building a champion? Kepner celebrates unexpected heroes like Bill Wambsganss, who pulled off an unassisted triple play in 1920, probes the mysteries behind magic moments (Did Babe Ruth call his shot in 1932? How could Eckersley walk Mike Davis to get to Kirk Gibson in 1988?) and busts some long-time myths (the 1919 Reds were much better than the Black Sox, anyway).  The result is a vivid portrait of baseball at its finest and most intense, filled with humor, lore, analysis and fascinating stories. THE GRANDEST STAGE is the ultimate history of the World Series, the perfect gift for all the fans who feel their hearts pounding in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game Seven.    https://www.nytimes.com/by/tyler-kepner   @TylerKepner   https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/634030/the-grandest-stage-by-tyler-kepner/?ref=PRHC184D6440         Notes: Tyler Kepner wrote the grander stage the history of the World Series about baseballs October classic. Is the New York Times national baseball radar and has a background in being a bit writer for teams. He's originally from Philly. He was an intern at the Boston Globe and then the Washington post. Got a job out of college covering the Angels. Then got a job covering the Seattle Mariners for a newspaper in Seattle. In 2000 he got a job at the New York Times covering the mats for two years. Then he was covering the Yankees for eight years. 2010 he became the New York Times national baseball writer. Writing the book on the history of the World Series was a lifelong goal. He had written a previous book about pitching called K. The book was a three-year project to write. Tyler has covered 24 World Series dating back to 1998 as well as gone to two as a fan, 1983 series with the Phillies as a kid and then 1993. Tyler always follows good stories for his baseball writing. The 2022 baseball playoffs started in St. Louis to see about Albert polos last games. Then moved on to cover the New York Yankees. And then he's going to see the Seattle Mariners as they are in the playoffs for the first time in years. TV ratings for baseball have been decent. Still gets very good ratings in local markets. Baseball like other sports is still live programming and and they jam of TV. Sports creates appointment setting type TV. When you cover baseball as a rider, you will go to the ball park about 2 PM for a 7 PM game. He would mall around the stadium and clubhouse talk with players the manager may be the GM. Most days he's writing, with a deadline by the night time to be able to post by the next day. Player access in baseball is pretty open, it's an every day business and they give the media plenty of room to work. Tyler missed game seven of the 2001 World Series in Arizona versus the Yankees because of a family commitment. Baseball business as no hard salary cap, just some luxury taxes. It is expensive to build a team as you need free agents but also good scouting and player development. There's a lot of have and have Nots. Many of the smaller teams like the Oakland A's I've had player stolen by big teams like the Yankees or the Red Sox, almost acting like farm systems for the bigger teams. Baseball has changed over the years with the introduction of analytics and stats that now dominate the game. The teams that use at the best and can communicate the info to the players usually win. A great example of this is the GM of the Dodgers Andrew Friedman, who previously had been the GM of the Tampa Bay rays. Dodgers are well run team have a little bit of a small team mentality where they draft and develop players well, but also of the big resources and money to get the free agents. Teams have to convince the players how data will help their game. It isn't that hard since the new generation has been raised on their cell phones and data. The idea being a singing how are you can swing better, or what is a better pitch for a pitcher to use so that players can play well. Older guys in baseball lament the analytics and how it's changed the game. Amateur players understand how they have to do well on the metrics, and how hard they hit the ball, and swing playing in velocity. The older scouts and baseball people dislike the fact that it's not about moving the runner over in contact anymore. The game has evolved and the analytics and the data shows you what you need to do to win. Sports, including baseball is good for TV because it has live programming and people still watch live programming. Baseball games still may take longer but they still get OK national ratings and very good local ratings. Baseball is working on a little changes for more balls in the way and excitement. There is a lot of home runs and strikeouts right now. Baseball making some rule changes to affect us like regulating the shift and how the defense fields, changes to the baseball and maybe bigger bases to encourage base running aggressiveness in more stolen bases as examples. Billy Beane of Moneyball and the Oakland A's popularized baseball analytics and data. Been had a classic line I pay you to get on base, not to get caught stealing. No risky place. Tyler wanted to write World Series stories that people don't know. An example is what happened in the next game after Don Larsen throws a perfect game for the Dodgers. What happened to setup Kirk Gibson home run in 1988 vs As Tyler loves the art of pitching and the slider and the knuckleball. He had written a previous book K the history of baseball and 10 pitches. Did Babe Ruth call his shot? That is the legend, but it is not true. Babe Ruth told the Cubs he was going to do some thing, but did not point at offense. Back then the cubs pitchers would've thrown at Babe Ruth if he was showboating like that.         If you enjoyed this show, you may like:   BRT Sports:  HERE   BRT Marketing: HERE   BRT Business: HERE   More - BRT Best of: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+Of     Thanks for Listening.

Even if it isn't quite Spring, the professional baseball season begins today in, of all places, Korea. And to celebrate this premature rite, I spoke with Keith O'Brien, the author of CHARLIE HUSTLE, the new Pete Rose biography already acclaimed as a “masterpiece”. Rose himself, O'Brien reveals, was anything but a masterpiece - a gambling addict who reflected all the gendered, class and racial realities of late 20th century America. Far more than a baseball story, O'Brien explains, the Pete Rose story is as much about the rise and fall of 20th century America as it is about the fate of Cincinnati's Charlie Hustle. KEITH O'BRIEN is the New York Times bestselling author of Paradise Falls, Fly Girls, and Outside Shot, a finalist for the PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sportswriting, and an award-winning journalist.

Diving into the story, lessons, and greatness of the five women who changed aviation history forever from Kieth O'Brien's book:  Fly Girls-----2:45- Amelia Earhart's ScrapbookShe kept a scrapbook filled with clippings about female achievers making news; she cut out the stories and pasted them on the pages as motivation, perhaps, or proof that anything was possible. 4:00 - The DareAs stimulus to the courageous aviators, I desire to offer through the auspices and regulation of the aero club of america, a prize of $25,000 to the first aviator of any allied country crossing the atlantic, in one flight from Paris to New York or New York to Paris, all other details in your care.6:30 - Ruth Elder Purpose I want to do something that will make people notice me, that may give me an opportunity to get somewhere in this world.8:20 - Doing something greatI would rather give my life to something big and worthwhile, than to live longer and do less - Frances Grayson9:10 - The Right Sort of GirlThe publisher was looking for the “right sort of girl.” This women wouldn't be doing any actual flying, but it would look better if she could–and new york publisher George Palmer Putnam was big on appearances…He wanted to put the first woman over the ocean10:35 - The Call "I might as well lay the cards on the table,” he told Earhart. “Would you like to fly across the Atlantic.”13:05 - The Derby and SabotageBeware of sabotage. The cryptic message arrived via telegram that day, and shortly after dinner that night, the women believed they had proof of it, if not sabotage, then at least tampering. 17:00 - Setting RecordsIn early December 1930, Nichols set a transcontinental speed record, flying from New York to Los Angeles with four overnight stops but a total elapsed time of just sixteen hours and fifty nine and a half minutes. Unsatisfied, Nichols turned around, flew back east and set another record going in that direction–thirteen hours and twenty-two minutes, almost an hour and half shorter than Lindbergh's fastest transcontinental flight…She had proven herself to be the arguably the bravest, frastest, and strongest female flier in America.19:25 - The Grudge FlightEarhart–the fourteenth person ever to pilot a plane east across the ocean, the first women ever to do it and the first person to do it solo since Lindenbergh himself–was finished. For once in her life, she felt no need to go further 24:40 - Speed with SafetyIt might have been seven years since she won the powder puff derby, but she remembered why she had prevailed in that long, grueling race: by not getting lost, by not rushing and making mistakes, and by not crippling the engine by forcing it to run beyond its capabilities over thousands of miles. “Speed with safety,” the men liked to say26:30 - One Final NoteThaden knew what the men thought of the women and it was hard, at times to keep going, to keep flying. As she said, “it took dedication and the courage to accept defeat, after defeat, after defeat.” -----Check out my new book Chasing Greatness: Timeless Stories on the Pursuit of Excellence

Amelia Earhart looms large in aviation history, but she was one of a cohort of incredible female flyers in 1920s America who fought hard to break the mould and show that they could out-fly and out-race the men at their own game and, in Louise Thaden, would claim their highest prize.

In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Eileen Bjorkman, retired US Air Force Colonel and author of the book The Fly Girls Revolt: The Story of the Women Who Kicked Open the Door to Fly in Combat. While the book talks about more recent Air Force history, Eileen does include the WASP in her book so I asked her if she would help expand the story a bit and also share her insight as a woman who also happens to be a retired Air Force Colonel and a pilot. Eileen's book The Fly Girls Revolt is now available and can be found here (https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Fly-Girls-Revolt/Eileen-A-Bjorkman/9781637585948) and here (Amazon Affiliate Link https://amzn.to/3MRhwVJ) Other Links: https://eileenbjorkman.com/books https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/108531/eileen-a-bjorkman/ http://www.motheroftanks.com/ads-sponsors-and-affiliate-links/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mother-of-tanks/message

Author, retired Air Force Colonel, former flight test engineer, and Executive Director of the Air Force Test Center, Edwards Air Force Base, California, Eileen Bjorkman, talks about her new book, FLY GIRLS REVOLT: THE STORY OF THE WOMEN WHO KICKED OPEN THE DOOR TO FLY IN COMBAT, available May 23rd, 2023. Eileen weaves her own experience as an Air Force flight test engineer in this history that, uniquely among books that follow the history of women in military aviation, bridges the gap between the WASP and the first active duty female aviators in the 1970s with the stories of the women who served in other roles in between. She also includes a detailed account of the Women Military Aviators' (WMA) spectacular show of solidarity at a DACOWITZ hearing on changes in the Air Force's flight training policy that threatened to further restrict women's ability to progress professionally in the ranks. This book brings us new and complementary information on this incredibly important transition for women in military aviation, and features several outstanding and notable pioneers, not the least of whom is currently the Air Force Chief of Safety, Maj. General Jeannie Leavitt. Thanks so much for listening! Stay up to date on book releases, author events, and Aviatrix Book Club discussion dates with the Literary Aviatrix Newsletter.

“Fly Girls Revolt” by Dr. Eileen Bjorkman tell the stories of the pioneering woman who had to fight in order to allow women to fly in combat. Eileen logged more than 700 hours in 25 different types of military aircraft as a flight test engineer and retired from the Air Force as a Colonel. Two of the first pioneers were well known aviatrixes Jaqueline Cochran and Nancy Harness Love. Each convinced authorities to create sanctioned groups of female pilots to assist with the war effort in 1942. The two groups would eventually be merged into the Woman Airforce Service Pilots organization. (WASPs) They principally ferried planes from factories to bases but also performed other roles such as towing air targets. About 38 of these women were killed ferrying aircraft. All these women served as civilians and were not granted Veteran benefit status until the late 1977. 1977 was also the first year women were allowed to undergo Air Force Pilot training. However, there was still a prohibition to women serving in combat roles. As such, these female pilots were assigned to fly cargo, refueling and similar planes. Fly Girls Revolt highlights several examples of situations where this prohibition was shown to be hollow. While planning the 1986 bombing raid against Libya, the commander of the Air Refueling tankers said he would not fly the mission without his female pilots. In some cases, there were suggestions that female pilots who flew into “hot” zones should not be awarded the same medals as their male counterparts because they were “not supposed to be there”. It was not until 1993, fifty one years after the WASPs that women were finally officially allowed to fly in combat aircraft. The first three were Capt. Sharon Preszler (F-16), Capt. Martha McSally (A-10) and Lt. Jeannie Flynn (F-15). Eileen also wrote “Unforgotten in the Gulf of Tonkin”. TAKEAWAY: “You know you are in a combat plane if you are allowed to shoot back.”

On the 30th Anniversary of American Women in Combat, Retired Air Force Colonel Eileen Bjorkman joins host Johnny Punish to share the untold story of women's fight to fly.Retired Colonel Eileen A. Bjorkman talks about her new book "The Fly Girls Revolt: The Story of the Women Who Kicked Open the Door to Fly in Combat"   It's the untold story of the women military aviators of the 1970s and 1980s who kicked open the door to fly in combat in 1993—along with the story of the women who paved the way before them.Drawing on extensive research, interviews with women who served in the 1970s and 1980s, and her personal experiences in the Air Force, Eileen Bjorkman weaves together a riveting tale of the women who fought for the right to enter combat and be treated as equal partners in the U.S. military.Although the military had begun training women as aviators in 1973, by a law of Congress they could not fly in harm's way. Time and again when a woman graduated at the top of her pilot training class, a less-qualified male pilot was sent to fly a combat aircraft in her place.Most of the women who fought for change between World War II and today would never fly in combat themselves, but they earned their places in history by strengthening the U.S. military and ensuring future women would not be denied opportunities solely because of their sex. The Fly Girls Revolt is their story.BUY COL.

On Thursday's show: Houston-area restaurants want to keep expanded outdoor seating established early during the COVID-19 pandemic. Houston City Council is considering it. We talk it over with the Greater Houston Restaurant Association and discuss the state of area restaurants. Also this hour: We learn more about the wrongful death lawsuit filed in Galveston County against three Texas women over allegedly helping a friend obtain an abortion. The friend's ex-husband is the plaintiff. Then, reacclimating to society after time spent in prison is challenging, to say the least. It's also one of the subplots depicted in the new film Creed III. That film and that challenge are the subject of this month's The Bigger Picture. And we visit Fly Girls of WWII, an exhibit at the 1940 Air Terminal Museum on the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) of the 1940s and learn about some who worked through Houston Municipal Airport in the 40s and 50s.

In this excerpt from my interview with author Keith O'Brien, he introduces his book, Fly Girls: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History, and does a reading featuring Florence Kingensmith, whose story illustrates the very challenging times in which these brave women pursued their passion for aviation. Thanks so much for listening!

On the evening of September 4th, 1936 (the same year as the Bendix Air Race, highlighted in last month's Aviatrix Book Club discussion book, Fly Girls, by Keith O'Brien), Beryl Markham took off from Abingdon, England to become the first woman to cross the Atlantic solo in an aircraft “the hard way” – from West to East. Equestrienne, sailor, pilot, and best-selling author, Mary Lovell, has published ten books, two of which are about pioneering women pilots. Her biography The Sound of Wings: The Life of Amelia Earhart, was the basis for the 2009 movie, Amelia, starring Hilary Swank and Richard Gere. Her book Straight on Till Morning: The Life of Beryl Markham, which is the Aviatrix Book Club discussion book for September 2022, spent twelve weeks on the New York Times best-seller list. Beryl Markham's memoir, West with the Night, is a gorgeously written account of her childhood in Africa as the daughter of a racehorse trainer who roamed the bush barefoot with a spear in her hand and follows her into adulthood when she became a well-respected racehorse trainer in her own right, and a skilled pioneering pilot flying as a safari spotter in the 1930s. It ends with a gripping account of her record-setting flight. She reveals very little in that book about her human relationships, though. Straight on Till Morning fills in the very public and scandalous gaps, along with some of her more private forays, in addition to clearing up controversy over whether Markham, in fact, penned her own book. Hers is a fascinating story of an adventurous free spirit, which is well-told in great detail, with meticulous attribution by the author, who you can find at her website, www.lovellbiographies.com.

In the spring of 1977, residents of a working-class neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York grew concerned when noxious smelling substances began leaching into basements, floating in local streams and pooling in puddles in backyards and playgrounds. Shortly after, children started suffering mysterious burns while playing outside, and then kids started getting sick—some really sick. What most parents didn't know was that their homes had been built next to what was once a giant pit called Love Canal, and that decades earlier, Hooker Chemical, the largest employer in the city, had used the canal to dump barrels containing 20,000 tons of chemical waste comprising of some of the most toxic compounds humans ever created. Hooker covered those barrels with earth and then sold the land to the city's board of education—for a dollar—and the city built an elementary school and a playground directly on top of it. Now, in PARADISE FALLS: The True Story of an Environmental Catastrophe, New York Times bestselling author Keith O'Brien tells the story of how an unlikely group of neighborhood women uncovered this secret and took on some of the most powerful men in the world, including the governor of New York, a multimillionaire industrialist and the president of the United States, in order to get justice and literally save their families. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Keith O'Brien is a former reporter for The Boston Globe and the New York Times bestselling author of Fly Girls and Outside Shot. His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post and Politico, as well as on National Public Radio shows like All Things Considered and Morning Edition.
