Podcast appearances and mentions of George Putnam

Welcome to the 9th episode of the SHE Talks podcast, presented by the Beazley SHE Network. Join our host, Gaby Martineau and special guests Kate Flintoft, Jessica Schappell, and Charlotte Allen as they discuss a record-breaking female aviator whose international fame improved public acceptance of aviation and paved the way for other women in aviation, Amelia Earhart.  Topics and questions discussed in this podcasts include:Some young people purchase their first car at 25…Amelia purchased her first PLANE! She also set the women's altitude record in 1922, only two years after the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote. How do you think her male or female colleagues, neighbors, and friends might have reacted to her rise at such a young age? Would this garner that same reaction today?As we often see in women's history, Amelia was provided an opportunity by a male ally, George Putnam, who “discovered” her and opened doors to help her succeed. In today's society, how has male allyship changed or stayed the same with regard to women's advancement in the workplace?Overall, Amelia was a young professional. She was an adventurer and a pioneer, but she was also very young, and unfortunately did not have the chance to reflect on her youth, as we do. If you could tell your younger self one thing regarding your career journey, what would it be?Support the show

Ho ho ho! Well, we've made it to the end of another year.  Jennifer talks a bit about the lessons learned in his one, and the ones that seem to be on the horizon. We revisit a tidbit from last week's podcast when Amelia Earhart suggested I might take a trip to ChatGPT with regard to the book I'm working on - and I realized when I listened afterwards, she may have been referring to a search I had done a few days before. Turns out that indeed was the case, when I asked ChatGPT to identify the mysterious woman whom Amelia was in love with, who was part of the marriage with George Putnam, who was in bed with Amelia and George when Dorothy Putnam walked in on the three of them. This has been something I had searched and researched since 2008 when I first heard it from Pattie Canova, a medium in NYC, then via Jamie Butler, a medium working with Channeling Erik, then via Jennifer Shaffer during our marathon interviews with Amelia when we met ten years ago. Now I have a name to go with the story.  I am thrilled to learn it.  Then Junior Seau showed up to say hello - we've interviewed him before about how CTE has been cured by Joe Namath using oxygen therapy.  Then my old pal Bill Paxton showed up to say hello, tease Jennifer because she always forgets her name, and when I asked him who he was surprised to see on the flipside, he mentioned Carl Weathers - whom I spent a year writing a screenplay with. Carl was also a sweetheart, a wonderful friend like Bill is and was - and knowing the two of them hanging out means all that many more laughs in the universe. Another thrilling thing to hear. So with all these thrills, sending everyone a happy holidays, Happy Hanukkah, a safe and hilarious New Year's and we'll catch you on the flipside of 2024! As always, a special thanks to Jennifer and to Luana for making this podcast possible. It's mind bending, but it has been since we began ten years ago!!!

Calling all history buffs! “Significant Others” with Liza Powel O'Brien is a scripted history podcast that tells a story you might not know about a person you probably do. Season 2 just launched, and the season premiere explores how Benedict Arnold might never have turned on his country were it not for his wife, Peggy, who influenced his betrayal. And guess who plays Benedict Arnold? This guy! (Andy)Listen to this snippet to whet your appetite, then head on over to “Significant Others” to hear the rest. This season you'll also learn how Amelia Earhart would neither have found fame nor, possibly, disappeared over the Pacific, had it not been for her husband, George Putnam. Plus: who is really to blame for Friedrich Nietzsche's connection to Nazism. Listen and subscribe to “Significant Others” wherever you get your podcasts.

Amelia Earhart's husband George Putnam didn't invent ghostwriting, but he relied on it heavily to produce his best-sellers. What kind of job is ghostwriting today?

It's been said that history is written by the person at the typewriter. But who did the person who made history depend on? Often, it's impossible to find out. But once in a while, we get lucky, and the story was not only recorded, it's really good. Well that's what this podcast is all about. “Significant Others” is a show that tells a story you might not know about a person you probably do. For example, in this episode we explore how Benedict Arnold might never have turned on his country were it not for his wife, Peggy, who influenced his betrayal. Head over to “Significant Others” to listen to the rest of the episode and listen to other stories like how Amelia Earhart would neither have found fame nor, possibly, disappeared over the Pacific, had it not been for her husband, George Putnam. Or learn who is really to blame for Friedrich Nietzsche's connection to Nazism. Listen and subscribe to “Significant Others” wherever you get your podcasts.

Roy L Hales/ CKTZ News - Sometime this fall, the Cortes Foundation will be offering the community of Cortes Island a public venue to explore, and bridge, the issues that divide us. The topic came up during a discussion of the water shortages some of the island's shallow wells are currently experiencing, while Cortes is at drought level four. “We're going to set up a much larger conversation, island wide, on any topic. Yesterday we were at a meeting that discussed sponsoring a facilitator to be present through the fall, on specific dates, to get together and start airing out some of the issues that people are encountering on the island, any divisiveness between groups,” said John Preston, one of the Directors of the Cortes Foundation. “So we are aiming at taking the next step, offering the island a voice to speak to itself and try to reach consensus on many different issues.” As we come get closer to the launch date, they will be explaining how, where and when these discussions will take place. One of the immediate topics of concern will undoubtedly be a collective response to the island's water issues. Preston believes the deep wells some people are drilling punch holes in the aquifer and threaten everyone's water supply. As regards the Cortes Foundation itself, Preston said, “It is a game changer for Cortes. We now have an instrument that will allow us to attend to these kinds of issues. Cortes now has a basket that it can fill with resources that are for everyone. The foundation is island wide and we are going to be putting out a message that we want to hear from people: What are their needs? What are their worries?” He described the Cortes Foundation as an organization that will allow the people of Cortes to cumulatively contribute to their future.

Another one of those mind bending sessions.  Having spent the past five years chatting with Jennifer on a weekly basis, only starting to film about a year ago, we have 65 podcasts of us chatting with people on the flipside. We have three books of interviews "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" where we discuss how we met, the process we use, and the many verifications that have occurred on camera in her office, in restaurants.  In this case, one can search through these podcasts to hear other verificiations. Each week we "enter our classroom" where people are standing by waiting to chat with us. The books were named because Tom Petty described the process of "getting onto the clipboard of Luana the way someone might try to get a VIP pass to backstage at a concert."  My friend of 20 years, who passed in 1996, starting showing up to me and to family members over the years. Then when I met Jennifer Luana started showing up weekly - that is helping us to access people on the flipside, and vice versa. On the flipside they describe her participation as "showing how it's done."  In the six years of doing this, I've often "asked for people to come forward" - and most of the time Jennifer tells me who it is that I've asked for - said their name aloud prior to a session - in one to three tries.   Sometimes it takes longer - because again, they're putting images in her head that lead her to say something. So for example, if someone shows up named "Fred" - she might see her husband Fred. And then from there I ask questions about the identify of whomever shows up. This was one of those examples.  She said "somewhere is here that wants to speak to us, but neither of us would know him."  So it took me the time it took me to figure out who that might be. Carl Laemmle was a prolific film producer in the 1920s and 30's. He dies at the age of 72 in 1939, making such hit films as "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "Phantom of the Opera" "Dracula" and "Frankenstein."  I was not aware of the films he made - but doing this research after the podcast, I realize last night while watching "Singing in the Rain" with their parody of the first sound films, I noted to my wife that if one watches "Dracula" (1931) carefully, the actors move over to where a microphone is hidden in a plant or a lamp or somewhere in the room to pick up the sound.  In the film "Singing in the Rain" they had a character with a German accent playing the role of the film director beside himself with fury about planting the microphones on set - and I realize as I write this sentence it was likely a parody of Germans like Carl who emigrated in the 1880's. Everything I report is accurate - in that it was Carl who suggested that Amelia Earhart star in a film about herself, and how she and Mary Pickford wrote a screenplay together, excerpted in George Putnam's posthumous biography of his missing wife. Fans of "Hacking the Afterlife" know that we interviewed Amelia extensively and that I've spent 30 years gathering eyewitness reports that claim she was captured, and died in Saipan. (EarhartOnSaipan.com is a webpage filled with details of that sage).  But in this instance, it was Amelia who brought Carl in - and he wanted to "give it a shot" and be interviewed by us. After my incredulousness wore off (not about the fact he was there, but why he showed up) I asked him to describe what he's up to, and his reply is unlike any we've heard before.  We have heard people can "learn to cook" but his specificity of Indian ovens (ie. tandoor ovens) for specific dishes is accurate but not something Jennifer is aware of.  His description of various salts (Moroccan!) is also accurate, having traveled around the world I know there's more than Morton Salt to be tasted.  That was quite specific. But then Prince showed up - and as fans of our work know, he's been showing up since he crossed over, interviews are in "Hacking the Afterlife" and a number of times in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside." I'm aware that the vast majority of listeners would turn off the podcast around this moment, but they'd miss him bringing Ludwig and Vincent forward to talk about art and how those frequencies affect their continued work. We tend to think in human centric terms (how could we not?) about time, about fame, about all of those things that don't mean much on the flipside. The idea that Carl could come forward 80 some years after his passing, and carry on a conversation as if he was aware of everything that's been said since is mind bending.  The idea that Ludwig might be considered 250 years old - but what she had to say about his digestive issues is accurate - and at one point mentions his "blindness" ... because she's not aware that he was going to come to class today, or not really up on his story. I literally did finish reading a biography about him this morning, and am in awe of his talent and output as an artist - but I wanted to dig into something that bothered me, his behavior towards his sister and law and her son is considered beyond the pale - while working on Missa Solemnis and the 7th, 8th and 9th symphonies.  Like the sand in an oyster that turns into great pearls, it was the sacrifice his sister and law Johanna and nephew Frank put up with so that he could create the kind of art that he did. Vincent mentions a "savage animal" attacking his ear - that could be a metaphor for the "man in the mirror," "some bar fight gone wrong," or literally an animal attacking him - I don't know. It doesn't really matter, because as he put it "I won. I'm the most valued artist of us all."  Funny way to put it - but accurate. This podcast may offend a few, may startle a few, but Jennifer and I show up unprepared, except for the body of work that's preceded when I turn on the camera and record our podcast. Enjoy.

March 2021 marks the one-year anniversary of the World Health Organization officially declaring the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. The disease we’ve come to know as COVID-19 has now infected more than 28 million Americans and led to at least half a million deaths in the United States. COVID-19 has also incurred serious damage to the nation’s economy. In February, the number of unemployed persons was 10 million, up from 5.7 million a year earlier. On this episode of On the Evidence, guests George Putnam, Dana Rotz, and Naihobe Gonzalez discuss the current distressed economy and evidence-based ideas about how to help workers who have been negatively affected by the pandemic. • Putnam, the labor market information director at the Illinois Department of Employment Security, helps the Midwest Collaborative, a consortium of nine states that share current administrative data across sectors and state lines to develop insights to support reemployment and economic recovery efforts. • Rotz is a senior researcher at Mathematica who leads a team at Mathematica that is producing short summaries of research related to pressing employment issues during the pandemic. • Gonzalez is also a senior researcher at Mathematica who coauthored a recent report for the U.S. Department of Education on findings from two experiments that allowed the use of Pell Grants to help displaced workers earn credentials that might quickly improve a person’s job prospects.

Adventurer, trailblazer and record-breaking pilot, Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, but disappeared in her attempt to cross the globe in 1937. Join Billy and Anna's romp through the conspiracy theories that have popped up about her disappearance (some less convincing), and think about her impact on the world of aviation. Also she had excellent freckles. But: has it gone too far? Has her legacy overshadowed other fantastic women in history?

Did President Franklin Delano Roosevelt have Amelia Earhart shot down over the Pacific during a “reconnaissance” mission in retaliation for her lesbian affairs with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt? Probably not, but if you nit-picked your facts, you might be able to construct a plausible explanation to support that theory; we are not the first to suggest it, by the way. Today’s narrative was built around the 1933 evening when Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt ducked out of a party at the White House to take a spontaneous flight to Baltimore. The two would forever be associated with aviation, Amelia (for obvious reasons) and Eleanor for travelling over 40,000 miles as First Lady of the United States. Despite their thirteen-year difference, the two had much more in common than air travel. Both taught, wrote books, endorsed products for sponsors, fought for civil rights and refused to take their husbands’ last names; a technicality for Eleanor who’d always been a Roosevelt but Amelia suggested her husband, George Putnam, should, perhaps, be called Mr. Earhart. Put your seat tray up and buckle-in for Amelia and Eleanor’s Excellent Adventure.

BOND Sunday Service, originally streamed December 12, 2008: Jesse Lee Peterson talks about speaking at George Putnam’s funeral. George Putnam was a talk show host and man of courage who loved BOND, and who was not afraid of women. Most males are angry, emotional, and insecure. Jesse mentions Barack Obama being elected to office, and people getting a false sense of identity from him. Then the congregation discusses the story of O.J. Simpson begging for mercy, when prompted by a female judge. He was almost crying. People thought it was pathetic, and that he humiliated himself. Then we discuss spiritual things and personal life. God wants you free. But when you judge yourself for what you’ve become, it prevents you from being born again, so that you can live your purpose in life. (It’s a lie from the pit of hell that “once you’re born again, you still sin.”) We discuss the question: Do you know God loves you? How do you know God loves you? People say that they believe God loves them, but do they know it for sure? Some say they love God. How do you know you love Him?

Amelia Earhart was a pioneer of aviation, flying all over the world, breaking records and becoming a voice for women along the way. Among many of the questions often asked regarding Amelia's career is "How could she afford it?" How did Amelia raise the money needed to finance her groundbreaking flying career? It's a question that many have asked and few have answered. Until now. Tonight on the forty-first episode of the Chasing Earhart podcast, we sit down with author and project guest Barbara Schultz to discuss her book "Endorsed by Earhart: How Amelia Financed her Flying" to discuss the many creative ways that Amelia and her husband George Putnam used to finance her flying during the golden age of aviation. From being the face of countless products to having her own fashion and luggage lines as well as a growing public speaking career, Amelia Earhart invented ways to finance her passion while showcasing her other many talents to the world.

We have spoken to a lot of guests on this show in the first 31 episodes. We’ve spoken with researchers, authors, historians, and experts in aviation and aerospace. However, there is one area that has eluded us thus far. Family. While we have spoken to a lot to the extended families of Amelia Earhart, Fred Noonan, and George Putnam we have never had the opportunity to have them as a Chasing Earhart project guest. Until now. Amy Kleppner is the daughter of Muriel Earhart and the niece of Amelia Earhart. She is an educator, writer, and adventurer. I suppose being an adventurer just runs in the family. On the 32nd episode of the Chasing Earhart podcast, Amy joins us via Zoom from her home in Vermont to discuss the impact and legacy of her mother Muriel and her aunt Amelia in one of the most special interviews that we've ever conducted.

Heidi Greco joins RC to chat about Heidi's new book Flightpaths: The Lost Journals of Amelia Earhart (Caitlin Press). Was Amelia a spy? Why did the plane crash? So many questions and so many poems.

Amelia Earhart begins solo flight across the Atlantic.Amelia Earhart was born on July 24, 1897 in Atchison, Kansas, later moving to California. Six months after her first flying lesson she bought her first plane. Just seven years later, on June 17, 1928, Earhart, Bill Stultz and Slim Gordon became the first to fly across the Atlantic, leaving Newfoundland and arriving in Wales 21 hours later. Earhart married one of the flight’s supporters, publisher George Putnam. Together, the couple secretly planned for Earhart’s solo crossing of the Atlantic. So it was on May 20, 1932, Earhart launched from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, aimed for Paris, France. Due to bad weather and mechanical problems she landed in a farmer’s field near Londonderry, Ireland, and her effort won her international admiration and awards. Earhart secured many other flying firsts and just prior to her 40th birthday, she made plans for a 29,000-mile trip around the world with navigator Fred Noonan. On June 1, 1937, they left Miami heading east, and by June 29th, had made Lae, New Guinea, en route to California. Their next scheduled stop was Howland Island, 2,556 miles away and only 1.5 miles long, situated between Australia and Hawaii. Although U.S. Coast Guard officials stationed on the island were in radio contact with Earhart and Noonan, the two never made it. The American Navy searched 250,000 miles of ocean at a cost of $4 million, but found no trace of the plane. Her grieving husband opened a letter she’d written in the event of her death. It read in part, “I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this podcast, we learn about an upcoming musical called "The Crossing", which will be on stage at the Jewel Box Theater in Poulsbo from March 17th through April 9th. Recently-honored playwright Paul Lewis and leading actor Walt Brown share with us their experience of putting together a musical set in the 1930s, as Amelia Earhart prepared for her dangerous trans-Atlantic solo flight attempt. However, unlike most stories of Amelia, this one is told from the perspective of Ray Spencer, an aviation meteorologist haunted by a past tragedy, who is on the threshold of an elusive scientific breakthrough which he hopes will make long-distance flight safer. The focus is not only on Amelia in flight, but also on her support team on the ground, including husband George Putnam, her mechanic, and this meteorologist. It's an interesting backstory of Amelia's crossing of the Atlantic through the eyes of a reporter that documented the event. As Paul and Walt explain to BCB host Christina Hulet, the musical speaks to what it means to be human, and how to grapple with our own doubts, fears and pain as we try to accomplish the extraordinary. The Crossing was co-authored by Paul Lewis and Carissa Meisner Smit, with music by Paul Lewis. Paul is one of two winners of this year's "Island Treasure" award for distinguished contributions to our community's arts and humanities, which was presented at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art in February 2017. Tickets for "The Crossing" are available through the Jewel Box Theater's website for evening performances from March 17 through April 8 at 7:30pm, plus Sunday matinees at 2:00pm on March 19, March 26, April 2 and April 9. Also, on Saturday April 1st, Paul Lewis will stay after the show to talk with the audience and answer questions they may have about the play. The Jewel Box, with about 100 seats, provides an intimate community theater experience, and it won the Kitsap Sun's 2009 award as Best Theater of the West Sound.
