Content advisory: this episode makes mention of the sexual assault and murder of a child. Please take care if listening. In this special update episode of Admissible, Tessa Kramer returns to the mic to explore the aftermath of our 12-part series. Our investigation exposed the Virginia state crime lab's mishandling of a whistleblower's allegations against Mary Jane Burton, the lab's long-time Chief Serologist. Since our initial reporting, the Virginia Department of Forensic Science and its Scientific Advisory Committee have taken steps to confront the fallout. This episode highlights the case of Marvin Grimm, who spent 45 years in prison. The egregious nature of Burton's flawed evidence in this case not only clears Grimm's name, but also underscores the urgent need for the lab to take more drastic action in responding to our concerns about Mary Jane Burton. Audio of Mary Jane Burton testimony is from the Jens Soering trial. For more about that trial, we recommend the 2023 documentary "Till Murder Do Us Part: Soering vs. Haysom or the podcast, Small Town Big Crime Podcast - https://www.smalltownbigcrimepodcast.com/ --- Produced and edited by: Tessa Kramer and Ellen Horne Mixed and scored by: Charles Michelet Special thanks to: Megan Pauly, Ben Paviour, Meg Lindholm, Gavin Wright, Chloe Wynne, Dana Bialek, Danielle Elliot, Kim Nederveen Pieterse, and Steve Humble. --- Listen now on (https://admissible.vpm.org) or your favorite podcast platform.

In 1993, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was passed with bipartisan support and near universal endorsement by economists. In hindsight, the economic costs and political consequences were far greater than many contemporary observers would have imagined. In a paper in the American Economic Review, authors Jiwon Choi, Ilyana Kuziemko, Ebonya Washington, and Gavin Wright found that US counties most exposed to NAFTA and Mexican import competition saw their total employment drop by roughly 6 percent compared to those with little exposure to the trade deal. However, workers in these communities didn't respond by moving away to find better opportunities, and many, feeling betrayed by the Democratic party, embraced the Republican party instead. Choi and Wright recently spoke with Tyler Smith about the economic and political history of NAFTA and what economists have learned since its passage.

From the First World War to the Cold War, conflict in the 20th century has been crucial in shaping England as we know it. This is the final episode of Dan's epic adventure, taking him deep inside the famous White Cliffs of Dover with Gavin Wright, into the complex warren of tunnels that became the first line of England's defence in WWII - overlooking the channel for the ships of modern invaders. He discovers how wars on distant frontlines changed life in England, from the very organisation of English society with Dan Todman, to the advent of modern medicine with Tim Cook. He then charts England's course from world wars to the Cold War, learning how the nature of conflict changed and speaking to Julie McDowall about the government's preparations for nuclear armageddon. He ends in York with Kevin Booth, underground once again in what was once a state of the art Cold War nuclear bunker, to look at how technology has changed England and the world.Produced by James Hickmann, Mariana Des Forges, edited and sound design by Dougal Patmore and artwork by Teet Ottin.If you want to get in touch with the podcast, you can email us at ds.hh@historyhit.com, we'd love to hear from you!

This excerpt comes from the Seizing Freedom episode titled "A Powerful Black Hand." From the start of the Civil War, Black Americans were eager to lend their resources to the Union cause, but the Union was slow on the uptake. Despite their other differences, the North and South remained united in their belief in white supremacy. But when the Union found itself on the back foot, Northerners changed their tune, letting Black men and women join the ranks.That decision shifted the tide of the war, with more than 70% of northern Black men of military age enlisting to fight against the Confederacy. But many whites feared that granting equal access to American freedom might result in retaliation for all the wrongs of slavery. Seizing Freedom is a production of VPM and Witness Docs from Stitcher. It's hosted by Dr. Kidada E. Williams, and produced by Joshua Moore, Ronald Young, Jr., Lushik Wahba, Kelly Jones and Gavin Wright. Sound Design by Jakob Lewis of Great Feeling Studios. Music by Dan Burns. For more information about this series, visit seizingfreedom.com.

Zoonotic diseases are infections that transfer from animals to people, and include killers such as bubonic plague, malaria, ebola and a whole host of others. Trying to understand how diseases make the leap from animals to humans – so called spillover – and how outbreaks occur is a crucial part of preventing them. But outbreaks are complex and dynamic, with a huge number of factors playing a role: What animal is hosting the disease, the environment in which it lives, the changing climate, human presence and impact on the local area and many other factors. Kate Jones is professor of ecology and biodiversity at University College London, and has been tracking ebola in Africa. Her team has just published a new study that models how and when spillover might happen in the future. On the lushly forest islands of French Polynesia, there lives a very special snail. Partula are around 100 species of tiny snails who give birth to live young and feed on decomposing plants. Each species is uniquely adapted to a particular ecological niche. But in 1967, the highly edible Giant African Land Snail was introduced to the islands as a source of food. They quickly became pests, and in response, the French Polynesian government then introduced carnivorous Rosy Wolf Snails - aka Euglandina rosea - to quell the spread of the introduced Giant Land snails. Reporter Naomi Clements-Brode picks up the story with scientist Ann Clarke, along with Dave Clarke and Paul Pearce-Kelly at ZSL London Zoo. Finally this week, malaria is, as best we can account for it, the single greatest killer in human history. The vast majority of malaria is caused by a type of single celled protozoan called Plasmodium falciparum, carried by mosquitos. But according to new research published this week, it started out around fifty thousand years ago not in us, but as a gorilla disease, and in one particularly unlucky gorilla, two simultaneous infections prompted the mutation and rise of the plasmodium parasite that would go on to kill millions. Dr Gavin Wright from the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Hinxton lead the team behind this molecular archaeology.

Eric Hilt is a professor of economics and economic historian at Wellesley College. Today, he joins the show to discuss his new journal article *Economic History, Historical Analysis, and the “New History of Capitalism,”* which examines the growing debate between economic historians and historians of capitalism over issues such as slavery and economic growth. Eric also shares his thoughts on the “Cliometric Revolution,” which transformed the way many economic historians conduct their analysis.

Dan Fetter reads from Sharing the Prize: The Economics of the Civil Rights Revolution in the American South by Gavin Wright, published by Belknap Press. "Why did white southerners defend so passionately and for so long an inefficient system that evidently failed to serve their own best economic interests?"
Americans rightly think of the civil rights legislation of 1964 and ’65 as a social and legal revolution. InSharing the Prize: The Economics of the Civil Rights Revolution in the American South (Harvard University Press, 2013),Gavin Wright argues that it was an economic one, too. In clear and tightly organized prose, the eminent Stanford economic historianshows that after these pivotal years blacks in the South made record gains, “relative to earlier levels, relative to southern whites, and relative to national standards.”This progress was not simply a byproduct of the region’s general boom, as some have argued. Business gave no indication that it was inching toward integration, another instance of blind self-interest. Civil rights activists deserve the credit. But, ironically, the end of Jim Crow proved enormously beneficial to the whites who had so long opposed it.Although the situation began to change in the 1980’s, the civil rights revolution in the South was responsible for almost two-thirds of the reduction in poverty between then and 1965, the largest drop in U.S. history. Certain to become a classic in the literature, the book is a fascinating look at a period deserving of even more awe than it has inspired. A fitting and cautionary tribute fifty years later.
