In this episode we sit down with Rachel Levey to talk all about Dragon Boat Racing and how she became involved with the sport. We learn about the link between breast cancer survivors and dragon boating, and Rachel tells us how her mother initially helped get her linked up with her local team.   After Paddling for a number of years and now coaching, Rachel learned that the USA team was going to have a breast cancer survivors team in the IDBF World Dragon Boat Racing Championships taking place in July 2025 and she decided to try out.  She made the team and will be competing in Germany!  You can help support Rachels trip to Germany by donating here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/Support-Rachel-Levey/cl/s?v=amp14_t2&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp13_c-amp14_t2-amp15_t2&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US&attribution_id=sl%3Af2223d57-bba3-4d29-80b4-beed7149a022&ts=1751301334 Ig @Rachel_l_l SUPPORT THE STREAM: revivalmotoring.com/b4b

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley discuss major developments impacting energy markets, notably Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," potentially ending the Green New Deal by eliminating renewable energy subsidies. They highlight how green policies drive the UK's auto industry decline, manufactured gas and diesel crises in California under Newsom's leadership, and China's economic struggles exposed by tariffs. Germany continues resisting Nord Stream revival despite energy shortages, and Canada's trade tensions rise over tariffs. They also briefly analyze rig counts, oil inventories, and geopolitical influences on market fundamentals.Highlights of the Podcast 00:00 - Intro01:31 - Big Beautiful Bill May Still Yet End the Green New Deal04:55 - UK Car Output Hits 76-Year Low: Green Energy Policies, Not Just Trump Tariffs, Drive Deindustrialization07:56 - California is a U.S. National Security Risk, and the Gas and Diesel Crisis Was Manufactured12:01 - What Is the Real Story of the Chinese Economy?14:12 - Germany Doubles Down on Blocking Nord Stream Revival: Choosing Deindustrialization Over Affordable Energy?15:15 - All trade with Canada on notice for tariffs.

Third Sunday after Pentecost June 29, 2025 Faith, Okemos I Kings 19:15-16, 19-21. Psalm 16, Galatians 5:1, 13-25[26], Luke 9:52-62   The apostle Paul wrote, I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.  And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.  Galatians 2:20   …it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me…   [And these words from Paul's letter to the church in Rome: Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?  Therefore, we have been buried with him by baptism into death. So that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life…So you must also consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.  Romans 6:3-4, 11]     As I was preparing this week for a small group study of the life and writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, I thought a lot about his vocation as a pastor in Germany in the 1930's and 40's, about his participation in the escalating resistance to Hitler's Nazi regime.  Dietrich came to believe that Christ truly lived in him and that Christ Jesus living in him did battle with the forces of darkness within his own soul and within the soul of the nation he deeply loved.   My brothers and sisters, I believe that Jesus living in Dietrich also lives in now each of us.  Know that in our restlessness and fear in this troubling time, Jesus is doing battle in and with us against our leanings toward despair and  anxiety and cynicism, against our leanings toward disgust and hatred of other sisters and brothers perhaps in all three branches of our government with whom we may have come to increasingly distrust and despise.    I think of the huge budget reconciliation bill now before Congress, a bill affecting countless of the poorest, the most vulnerable among us, a bill negatively affecting our efforts to conserve and preserve the Earth.  Members of Congress and we whom they represent could easily give way to what St. Paul includes in what he calls “the works of the flesh”:  heightened strife, anger, quarrels, dissensions, and factions.   But if it is really true that “it is no longer [we] who live, but rather Christ Jesus who lives in [us]”, then our hearts, our words, and our behaviors radically change.  Then these beautiful words increasingly become who we are:  people of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.       But let us make no mistake: as long as we live in a fallen world, we remain vulnerable to speaking and acting badly, even in a congregation so full of love as this one we so cherish.  In uncertain, stressful times we could can be nasty or at least indifferent to each other.  We could hurt one another even if unintentionally, whether we are young or old, whether new or long-time members.    That was certainly true in the little church in Galatia.  Harsh, ill-considered, judgmental words and behaviors toward one another threatened to irreparably break the bonds of love and kindness that held them together, wounds that effectively muted their witness to God's mercy and grace.    The little church in Galatia and our congregation in Okemos, Michigan did have this in common:  the same crucified and risen and healing Jesus Christ who lived in the Galatian congregation 2000 years later also lives in us.  They were then and we are now the very presence of Christ!  Individually and collectively, we are called to be the very presence of Jesus in this time and in this community whenever our love for one another and for our neighbors especially in Meridian Township is clearly expressed.   But when these Galatian sisters and brothers sinned against each other, and if and when we sin against one another, this same indwelling God who spoke plainly and firmly in their hearts through this little letter to them from Paul, now speaks words of judgment plainly and firmly in our hearts.  Christ Jesus dwelling in their hearts, this Jesus, through the Holy Spirit who convicted them of their sins, now truly dwelling in our hearts, will convict us of our sins against each other.  But Jesus, the Son of God, gave them, and now will give us both the courage and the humility to repent, to put to death our pride and stubbornness, and to ask for forgiveness from those we have hurt.   It has been and it will be a wonderful thing to be part of a congregation where members can courageously acknowledge to one another their lack of kindness or patience or gentleness or self-control.  It has been and it will be a wonderful thing when we can say to one another, “Please forgive me” and to hear back, “I forgive you.” It is a wonderful thing when we regularly practice confession and forgiveness with one another!  This practice may be the most primary, most powerful, deepest witness we can give to our own families, to our neighbors, to a country, to a world so divided, so full of hate.      Confession and forgiveness “levels the playing field.”  In it no one of us is either higher or lower than any of our siblings.  Before God we are all sinners.  And in Christ Jesus, we are all saints, truly cleansed and forgiven through Jesus' death on the cross for us.  Until we reach our heavenly home heaven, we will always be both sinners who need to repent and saints who have been forgiven.   There is great freedom is this dual reality.  We are set free from having to prove how good we are, how much better or better behaved we are than others, how surely “we are right” and “they are wrong.”   At the same time, we no longer need to wallow in guilt or remorse for how awful we are, for how badly and stubbornly wrong-headedly we've lived.  Christ in our hearts continually sets us free!  Jesus through the Holy Spirit struggles in us and with us and for us to name and dethrone the false gods that deceitfully promise a better, happier, safer life if we only we isolate ourselves, cut ourselves off from people with whom we disagree or whom we regard as beneath us.    I want to witness to our life in following Jesus, who is our Life, who day after day resides in our hearts, a life that keeps getting richer and richer.  I want to share a little of what that was like in my own life this past week.  Just days ago Janet Boyer was on my mind.  I called her and rejoiced with her in her gratitude to God for still having her voice after major thyroid surgery performed dangerously close to her vocal cords.  Then I think the same day, I was asked to see Jane and her daughter and some close friends. Jane, a member of Immanuel, Grand Ledge, was in hospice care, just hours away from her death.  Together we prayed and hugged and commended Jane into God's eternal embrace.  Then I privileged to be with a developmentally disabled young man in jail who as I was leaving promised to pray for me as I for him.  Then on Thursday evening Phylis and I were with a very crowded church in Grand Rapids, blessed by the presence of Nadia Bolz-Weber, a very down-to-earth, unpretentious ELCA pastor, who testified of the unending grace of God even in and from her mother's womb, the grace of God through years of drug addiction, and to this day sharing the beautiful fruits of the Holy Spirit with countless people who were lost… Nadia sensing even in her darkest hours that Jesus was not far from her.  She could echo the words of St. Paul: “It is no longer I who live but it is Christ who lives in me.”  With her we sang many songs that evening, songs including these two verses of Amazing Grace…   I believe that experiences like those given to in these last few days…expressions of love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness, given and received, are meant to be experienced by all of us, all of us in whom Jesus dwells, all of us whom Jesus calls to courageously follow him for the rest of our lives.     Please sing with me “Lord Jesus, You Shall Be My Song” [ELW 808]   Amen.                                                                                          JDS  

America's exhausted — and not just from inflation, rent, or the nine-to-five that turned into a nine-to-nine. There's another kind of exhaustion we don't name out loud: the fatigue of paying for people you don't trust, programs you think don't work, neighbors you swear game the system.It's called poverty fatigue. Not the poverty itself — the fatigue of living shoulder-to-shoulder with it, funding it, hearing the stories: the lobster on EBT, the Cadillac Queen, the able-bodied guy who says he's too sick to work but somehow does odd jobs for cash. Some of it's myth. Some of it's real. All of it sits in your gut when you see your taxes go up and your block stay the same.This is not new. Reagan's “welfare queen” was a fable with a shred of truth. It became moral fuel for a generation who felt they were scraping while others schemed. The resentment stuck.I've lived in Germany and England. There, the safety net is a hammock. If you fall, you bounce gently — unemployment benefits, housing, healthcare, all catch you before you crack your teeth. In America, the net is a frayed fishing line six inches off the pavement. Fall, break your nose, then maybe the line snags your ankle before you hit rock bottom.COVID gave Americans a glimpse of a higher net — stimulus checks, beefed-up unemployment. It didn't last. But that brief taste burned the question in people's heads: Why can't it feel like this all the time?Meanwhile, the Left drifted deeper into temple-and-lepers politics: defending the most marginalized, the truly destitute, the moral symbols of the kingdom of heaven. And that's good — but they forgot about the plumbers, the line cooks, the Uber dads. They forgot the working class is the real populist block: huge in number, deeply skeptical, and always aware of who's actually scraping and who's skating.Now enter Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Massive tax cuts for the rich and the working class: no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime. Does it mostly help billionaires? Absolutely. Does the deficit explode? Sure. But it's also the only bone tossed to the middle — the people who think they'll never get a European hammock and are tired of carrying someone else's weight.The new wave — folks like Zohran Mamdani in New York — have made it explicit: democracy means democratic socialism. More programs. More net. More taxes. And the Right knows it, which is why you hear: “We're a republic, not a democracy!” It's not pedantry; it's a gut check. They see the variable change — and they push back.This is the part the Left misses: fatigue mutates. It turns into blame. Blame turns into votes. Poverty fatigue is real — and it votes. The same people who say blessed are the poor on Sunday want their streets back on Monday. They want to believe in the safety net — but they don't trust Caesar to hold it up.So when Trump stands there and says, “I see you — here's something for you, too,” it lands. Because they'd rather be thrown a bone now than told the hammock is coming later.Poverty fatigue is bigger than the budget line. It's deeper than the think tank numbers. It's moral, primal, petty, and American as hell. And it's not going away.Chris Abraham writes about the psychic costs of the safety net, the kingdom of heaven, and the busted street math we all do when nobody's looking.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 16ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1978 tháinig sé amach gur chaith daoine sa tír níos mó ná 520 milliún punt ar alcól agus tobac I rith 1976 agus d'ardaigh sé nach mór 87 milliún punt ón bhliain roimhe. I 2000 ní raibh an rialtas ag sheachaint beart níos mó chun na tithe a dhéanamh níos inacmhainne mura n-oibríonn an phacáiste nua. I 1998 d'éiligh ar Denis Landy ó Charraig na Siúire cosc a chur ar guma conganta a dhíol sa chontae. Tháinig an nuacht seo tar éis a d'fhostaigh Comhairle Contae Tiobraid Árann duine chun an guma conganta a glanadh suas ón tsráid ina bhaile. I 2001 tháinig an nuacht amach go mbeadh John Leahy – imreoir iománaíocht ag teacht ar ais chun imir leis an chontae arís. Ghortaigh sé a ballnasc croiseach ach dúirt sé go raibh sé ag súil le teacht ar ais. Sin John Travolta agus Olivia Newton John le You're The One That I Want – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1978 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1972 tháinig David Bowie amach lena 5ú halbam The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars – an coincheap den albam ná chun scéal a rá d'eachtrán darbh ainm Ziggy Stardust. Chuaigh an t-albam chuig uimhir a 5 sa Bhreatain agus uimhir 75 I Meiriceá agus tháinig sé amach go raibh sé an t-albam ab fhearr riamh. I 2002 46 bhliain tar éis a chéad amhrán, chuaigh Elvis Presley chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena amhrán Little Less Conversation. Tar éis é sin bhí 18 uimhir a haon aige. Agus chomh maith bhí sé an t-amhránaí a raibh sna cairteacha den chuid is mó I rith 44 bhliain. A chéad uimhir a haon a bhí aige ná All Shook Up I 1957. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Jurgen Klopp sa Ghearmáin I 1967 agus rugadh amhránaí John Newman sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1990 agus seo chud de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 16th of June, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: irish people spent a record of £520m on alchol and tobacco during 1976 which waas an increase of almost £87m. 2000: the government were not shrinking from further action to make houses more affordable if the sweeping package unveiled does not work. 1998 - CARRICK-ON-SUIR councilor, Denis Landy, demanded a global ban on the sale of chewing gum in South Tipperary. The Labour councilor issued the demand after South Tipperary County Council was forced to hire a "gum buster" to remove chewing gum from a cobbled street in his town.  2001 - DOWN but by no means out. a defiant John Leahy vowed that he will make a supreme effort to make a comeback for Tipperary next year. Although devastated by his cruciate ligament injury his hopes are still high.  That was John Travolta and Olivia Newton John with You're The One That I Want – the biggest song on this day in 1978 Onto music news on this day In 1972 David Bowie released his fifth studio album The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars a concept album telling the story of a fictional bisexual alien rock star named Ziggy Stardust. The album which reached No.5 in the UK and No. 75 in the US has been consistently considered one of the greatest albums of all time. 2002 46 years after his first hit, Elvis Presley started a four week run at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'A Little Less Conversation', (Elvis vs. JXL), giving Elvis a total of 18 UK No.1 singles, the most by any artist in chart history. This also set a new record for the longest span of No.1 hits with 44 years, 11 months and 9 days. His first UK No.1 single was 'All Shook Up' in 1957. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – soccer coach Jurgen Klopp was born in Germany in 1967 and singer John Newman was born in the UK on this day in 1990 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Dr. Ruth Calderon joins the podcast to reflect on the personal and intellectual journey behind her book, A Bride for One Night. She begins by discussing her background and the role her parents played in nurturing her love of Torah, as mentioned in the book's dedication. She then unpacks her approach to the Talmud, describing how she reads aggadic texts not through a religious, academic, or educational lens, but as stories that have the power to move us. This perspective shaped her call for integrating the Talmud into Israeli culture and education, regardless of religious ideology, because these texts continue to speak to the modern Israeli experience. She also shares the thinkers who helped shape her methodology. The conversation concludes with a look back at her iconic Knesset speech—what led to it, the core message she hoped to convey, and its ongoing impact.---*This episode is dedicated to the refua shelema of Sarah Miriam bat Tamar, Binyamin ben Zilpa, and our dear friend Yaakov ben Haya Sarah Malakh---• Bio: Dr. Ruth Calderon is an Israeli Talmud scholar, educator, and former member of Knesset. Born in Tel Aviv to a Sephardic father from Bulgaria and an Ashkenazi mother from Germany, she was raised in a home that bridged religious traditions and cultures. She earned her BA at Oranim Academic College and the University of Haifa, and completed her MA and PhD in Talmud at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In 1989, she established Israel's first secular, pluralistic, and egalitarian beit midrash, and in 1996 she founded ALMA: Home for Hebrew Culture in Tel Aviv, to bring secular Israelis closer to their textual heritage. In 2013, she was elected to the Knesset on the Yesh Atid list, where her opening speech—teaching Talmud from the Knesset floor—became a national sensation. Calderon has held fellowships at the Shalom Hartman Institute and served as a visiting professor at Harvard Law School. She has received numerous honors, including the Avi Chai Prize, the Samuel Rothberg Prize for Jewish Education, and honorary doctorates from Brandeis University, the Jewish Theological Seminary, and Hebrew College. She is the author of A Bride for One Night, a collection of Talmudic tales interwoven with creative retellings, and continues to be a leading voice in the renewal of pluralistic Hebrew culture in Israel.---• Watch her infamous Knesset speech here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8nNpTf7tNo---• Welcome to JUDAISM DEMYSTIFIED: A PODCAST FOR THE PERPLEXED | Co-hosted by Benjy & Benzi | Thank you to...Super Patron: Jordan Karmily, Platinum Patron: Craig Gordon, Rod Ilian, Gold Patrons: Dovidchai Abramchayev, Lazer Cohen, Travis Krueger, Vasili Volkoff, Vasya, Silver Patrons: Ellen Fleischer, Daniel M., Rabbi Pinny Rosenthal, Fred & Antonio, Jeffrey Wasserman, and Jacob Winston!

The United States and the Origins of World War II in Europe (Taylor & Francis, 2025), spans 1914–1939 to provide a concise interpretation of the role the United States played in the origins of the Second World War. It synthesizes recent scholarship about interwar international politics while also presenting an original interpretation of the sources of American policy. The book shows how the drive for international reform, beginning with Woodrow Wilson, reflected both America's unusual power and its fears about maintaining its domestic freedoms in a world dominated by arms races and the threat of war. The American desire to reform or to escape from the existing international system reshaped Europe's balance of power from 1914 to 1929, leaving it precarious and unlikely to produce lasting stability. America's power continued to loom globally in the 1930s, as first its isolationism and, after 1938, its open hostility toward Germany and Japan influenced the policies of the West and of Hitler. The coda at the end of the volume analyzes how the United States affected the strategic choices made by Great Britain, Nazi Germany, and Japan from 1939 to 1941 that globalized the conflict. This book will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students in history and political science, especially courses focused on World War II and the history of U.S. foreign relations. Guest: Ross A. Kennedy (he/him), is a Professor of History and Chair at Illinois State University. He is the author of The Will to Believe: Woodrow Wilson, World War I, and America's Strategy for Peace and Security (2009) as well as numerous other publications on the First World War.

The coda at the end of the volume analyzes how the United States affected the strategic choices made by Great Britain, Nazi Germany, and Japan from 1939 to 1941 that globalized the conflict.

The United States and the Origins of World War II in Europe (Taylor & Francis, 2025), spans 1914–1939 to provide a concise interpretation of the role the United States played in the origins of the Second World War. It synthesizes recent scholarship about interwar international politics while also presenting an original interpretation of the sources of American policy. The book shows how the drive for international reform, beginning with Woodrow Wilson, reflected both America's unusual power and its fears about maintaining its domestic freedoms in a world dominated by arms races and the threat of war.

Since 2004, scientific research has shown that a full night of sleep may lend itself to a burst of insight in the morning. But what about the earlier stages of sleep? And what about just a nap? A research team based in Germany found that even a 20-minute nap could deliver a "eureka" moment, and published their findings in the journal PLOS Biology this week. Have a question about sleep?

This is the story of a Communist family in East Germany whose world was turned upside down by the implosion of the GDR. The story is told by Katja Hesse, whose father was a Vice Admiral in the Volksmarine, the East German Navy. We start the episode with Katja crossing into West Berlin on the night of 9th November 1989 and journey through the emotional landscape of certainties overturned by the opening of the Berlin Wall. Using her father's diaries Katja shares in detail her memories and reflections. From her father's shock upon learning she crossed into West Berlin, to the complexities of navigating a new reality in a reunified Germany. It's an intimate glimpse into the struggles of her family as she recounts the legacy of the GDR and the profound impact it had on her upbringing and identity.

What do a barracks for British troops in the Falklands War, a floating jail off the Bronx, and temporary housing for VW factory workers in Germany have in common? The Balder Scapa: a single barge that served all three roles. Though the name would eventually change to Finnboda 12. And then to Safe Esperia. And later on, to the Bibby Resolution. And after that . . . in short, a vessel with so many names, and so many fates, that to keep it in our sights—as the protagonist of this fascinating economic parable—Ian Kumekawa has no choice but to call it, simply, the Vessel.Despite its sturdy steel structure, weighing 9,500 deadweight tons, the Vessel is a figure as elusive and abstract as the offshore market it comes to embody: a world of island tax havens, exploited labor forces, free banking zones, Thatcherism, Reaganomics, and mass incarceration, where even the prisoners are held offshore. Fitted with modular shipping containers, themselves the product of standardized global trade, the ship could become whatever the market demanded. Whether caught in an international dispute involving Hong Kong, Nigeria, Indonesia, and the Virgin Islands—to be settled in an English court of law—or flying yet another foreign “flag of convenience” to mask its ownership—the barge is ever a container for forces much larger than even its hulking self.Empty Vessel: The Story of the Global Economy in One Barge is a jaw-dropping microhistory that speaks volumes about the global economy as a whole. In following the Vessel—and its Sister Vessel, built alongside it in Stockholm—from one thankless task to the next, Kumekawa connects the dots of a neoliberal world order in the making, where regulation is for suckers and “Made in USA” feels almost quaint. Dr. Ian Kumekawa is a historian of economic thinking, capitalism, and empire. He is currently an Anniversary Fellow at the Center for History and Economics at Harvard University and a Lecturer in History at MIT. He previously published a book called 'The First Serious Optimist' about Pigou and the birth of welfare economics. His second book, which we will discuss today is called, Empty Vessel: The Global Economy in One Barge, came out with Knopf and John Murray in May 2025. Sidney Michelini is a post-doctoral researcher working on Ecology, Climate, and Violence at the Peace Research Institute of Frankfurt (PRIF).

Tensions in the Middle East have eased but we enter the month of July with other flashpoints to watch. In the US, all eyes on labor market data, the Fed, and prospects of passing the One Big Beautiful bill. CPI data across Europe and the ECB forum in Sintra are on tap, while Germany approved a big budget. In Asia, we expect still-benign inflation and discuss trade deal prospects and our change in RBA forecast. Chapters: US (02:00), Europe (08:58), Asia (14:35). 

The collaboration between Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht is rightly legendary. The two men could not have been more different from each other, and like the Brahms/Joachim relationship I mentioned in my recent show about the Brahms Double concerto, the friendship between Weill and Brecht was stormy to say the least. The two collaborated on some of the most memorable works of the Weimar era in Germany, such as the Threepenny Opera, which features a pretty famous tune called Mack the Knife. Their final collaboration was on the “sung ballet” The Seven Deadly Sins. This is a piece that was written at a point of remarkably high tension within Weimar Germany. On an artistic level, the 1920s and early 1930s had seen a veritable explosion in the world of culture, with art, dance, theater, and music all featuring artists who were pushing the boundaries with wild experimentation and a kind of ecstatic fervor that produced some of the world's greatest and most memorable cultural achievements. On a parallel track however, the rise of the Nazis cast a pall over all of this. By 1933, both Brecht and Weill(who was Jewish) knew that Germany was not a place that they could stay safely. Weill ended up in Paris and then in the US for the rest of his life, while Brecht bounced around Europe before returning to East Germany after the war, hoping to be a part of the Marxist Utopia that he believed had been founded there.  The simmering combination of Weill's mastery of transforming popular forms into a unique kind of classical music along with Brecht's pointed satire and brilliantly inventive libretti resulted in the Seven Deadly Sins, a piece that that brutally satirizes extreme capitalism and the degradation of the human soul that supposedly results from it. This is a nakedly political piece, and I should make it clear that by talking about it, by choosing to feature it on the show, and by regularly performing it, I don't necessarily endorse its views. Brecht was extreme in all ways, as we'll get to today, and the power of this piece in my opinion doesn't come from its politics, but from its remarkable and devastating portrayal of a human soul and the tragedies that can befall it. This is one of my favorite pieces of the whole 20th century, and I'm so happy to share it with you today. Join us!
