Today I am honored to speak with Elizabeth Hinton and Elsa Julien Lora about their new book, Harm and Punishment: Incarcerated Writers on Violence and the US Prison. Along with two research assistants, Lora and Hinton pored over hundreds of essays by prisoners, found in the American Prison Writing Archive. They then selected and organized the essays found in this volume, offering illuminating introductions to each section.Our discussion moves through many topics—the brutal, dehumanizing, and punitive nature of the prison system, the damage it does to lives both inside and outside prison, and the ways prisoners find to survive and offer each other support, despite being pitted against each other. At base, we consider how we, as a society, are “addicted to violence,” and why and how it is crucial to understand that violence can only produce more violence. These essays organically blend personal observations and stories with a deep understanding of the broad, systemic nature of violence.Elizabeth Hinton is one of the nation's leading experts on the roots of mass incarceration and enduring inequality in the United States. The Class of 1954 Professor of History, Black Studies, and Law at Yale University, Hinton serves as the founding director of the Justice for Everybody Movement J4EM, a university-based center focused on promoting public safety through education, research, and coalition-building. At Harvard, she is the founding co-director (with Brandon M. Terry) of the Hutchins Center's Institute on Policing, Incarceration, and Public Safety. Hinton's groundbreaking books—From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime and America on Fire—were each named New York Times Notable Books and have become essential texts in policy and social justice circles. A sought-after public intellectual, Hinton's commentary appears in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, New York Magazine, The Los Angeles Times and beyond. Her research has been supported by the Carnegie Corporation and the Guggenheim, Mellon, and Ford Foundations. Hinton served on the National Academies of Sciences Committee on Reducing Racial Inequalities in the Criminal Justice System and in 2022 was elected to the American Philosophical Society as one of the youngest members in its history. At J4EM, Hinton is building the infrastructure for a more just and robust democracy—where education is not a privilege, but a cornerstone of public safety.Elsa Julien Lora is a U.S. historian and interdisciplinary scholar whose research focuses on the history of American prisons and the texture and intimacy of family life. A Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Columbia University Society of Fellows, Elsa is at work on her book, Life in Prison: An Intimate History of American Punishment. Her research has been supported by the Mellon Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Institute for Citizens and Scholars, and the American Society for Legal History. Elsa's writing about race, justice, and family has appeared in the Virginia Quarterly Review, Aperture, and Public Books, and she is currently producing a documentary about her grandmother, boundary-breaking modern dancer Mary Hinkson. She holds a PhD in African and African American Studies from Harvard University and a JD from Yale Law School.
Jayne takes the spotlight with her spin on the European trip I have weighed in on as we went. Sights, sounds, tastes, enjoyable people, and more from almost three weeks abroad. Plus good reads, more adventures ahead, and other delights. Enjoy!!
In today's episode of Trending Middle East, the US and Saudi Arabia launch joint strikes against Iran-backed groups in Iraq after a wave of attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure. We also look at Iran's missile attack on US military sites in Jordan, as well as renewed attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels. We also examine the launch of a US-UAE task force to accelerate the development of AI tools for military purposes. The move is aimed at strengthening defence capabilities and expanding joint technology development. Fifa, meanwhile, has announced plans to seek private investment in the World Cup and other major tournaments through a new company, a proposal that could raise billions of dollars for its member associations but that has already drawn strong criticism from Uefa. And Abu Dhabi's Guggenheim museum announces it will open on December 11, marking another major milestone for the emirate's Saadiyat Cultural District. Trending Middle East is AI-assisted, using original reporting published in The National and curated and edited by humans.
Joe's diving straight into the critical issues surrounding local accountability, national governance, and the fundamental integrity of our civic institutions. We kick things off by looking at packed community meetings over infrastructure and data centers, before tracking national debates on immigration policies, public health transparency, and the ongoing fight to secure our voting systems. From local boardrooms to the federal level, we are taking an unflinching look at how leadership decisions directly impact everyday Americans and the constitutional principles that hold this country together.Joe is joined by content creator, scientist, and free speech advocate Dr. Rich Guggenheim (@5280BasedHomo). Rich gives us an insider update on his First Amendment lawsuit following the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling on legislative immunity and public testimony rights. We also expand the scope to discuss global security, analyzing recent headlines out of Europe and unpacking the broader cultural and political dynamics unfolding across western democracies.Joe shifts the focus to major international developments and legislative standoffs in Washington. We break down the realities of the war in Ukraine, highlighting reports on conscription alongside President Trump's recent meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss defense production and diplomatic solutions. Finally, we bring it back home to examine election integrity policy in Congress, addressing Senate GOP pushback on the SAVE Act and asking what it will take to restore absolute trust in our democratic processes.

Artists Katherine Hubbard and Sophie Thun explore how Hubbard's work is positioned within queer feminist art and critically engages with the tradition of analogue photography. The conversation was recorded during the installation of the exhibition on 7 June 2026. Katherine Hubbard The Great Room 12.6. – 30.8.2026 How do you capture the inner life of a person whose reality no longer aligns with the outer world? And how do you remain in relation to someone who is both intimately familiar and irreversibly changing? Katherine Hubbard began her five-year project The Great Room in 2020, at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, when her mother, Antonette Berger, became increasingly unwell and the artist became her primary caretaker. It took several months in a time of anxiety and isolation until Berger was diagnosed with LATE (limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy), a form of dementia. Hubbard has described this diagnosis as both necessary and insufficient: a gesture towards control and classification that ultimately fails to grasp the lived, shifting reality of her mother's condition. It is precisely this gap that the project inhabits. More Katherine Hubbard (b. Philadelphia, PA, 1981) considers analog photography as a mimesis of the body and asks how its procedures might be called upon to investigate social politics, history, and narrative. In her photographs the positioning of one's body has an essential relationship to how one processes images, exploring this encounter as a time-based experience. Hubbard's writing practice forms the core of her performances, harnessing the malleability of vision to frame a politics of looking. Hubbard is a 2024 Guggenheim fellow in photography and received her MFA in 2010 from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College. She is Associate Professor and MFA Photography Program Director at Pratt Institute, School of Art in Brooklyn, NY. Solo exhibitions include The great room, Company Gallery, New York (2023); Avoid glancing blows, Company Gallery, New York (2020); Katherine Hubbard, Higher Pictures, New York (2018); stages, Baxter St. Camera Club of New York, New York (2017); and Bring your own lights, The Kitchen, New York (2016). Her work has been exhibited in group exhibitions including Time Management Techniques, The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Ecstatic Land, Marfa Ballroom, Texas; A Collection of Slow Events, The Luminary, St. Louis, Missouri; The Artist's Museum, The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; and Greater New York, MoMA PS1. Hubbard's performances have been presented at the Chinati Foundation, Marfa, Texas; Konstfack, Stockholm, Sweden; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Her work is included as part of the permanent collection at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Sophie Thun (*1985, lives and works in Vienna) works primarily with analogue photography techniques, their spaces, processes and production and exhibition conditions. Thun grew up in Warsaw and completed her master's degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in both Vienna and Krakow. Thun has been a member of the board of the Secession since 2021, where she had a solo exhibition in 2020; from 2023 to 2025 she was interim professor of the photography class at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Since 2026, she has been Professor of Artistic Photography at the Institute of Fine Arts and Media Art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.

Maurizio Ternavasio "Il futurismo a Torino e in Piemonte"Storia di un'avventura straordinariaNeos Edizioniwww.neosedizioni.it Il 20 febbraio 1909 è una data storica della cultura internazionale: su iniziativa del poeta Filippo Tommaso Marinetti nasce il Futurismo. L'atto è ufficialmente sancito dalla pubblicazione del relativo manifesto sul quotidiano francese “Le Figaro”.Un'avanguardia aggressiva che esaltava la velocità, l'avvento della civiltà industriale e dell'era tecnologica, l'interventismo in ogni ambito. Con la loro furia incendiaria volevano far detonare i castelli chiusi della vecchia arte e le “menti in putrefazione”, mettendo al bando quello che chiamavano “passatismo”, ossia gli stantii romanticismi, l'immobilismo, la retorica accademica e il culto delle cose antiche.Se Milano è stata la capitale culturale del Futurismo, Torino ne ha rappresentato il centro più fervido per quanto riguarda industria e tecnologia, con le sue fabbriche automobilistiche ed aeronautiche, e con il Lingotto della Fiat , “prima invenzione costruttiva futurista” (Marinetti).Maurizio Ternavasio ricostruisce la vicenda del Primo Futurismo (1909-1917) e del Secondo (1918-1939) in Piemonte, in particolare a Torino, soffermandosi non solo su letteratura, poesia, pittura e scultura, ma passando in rassegna tutti gli ambiti della nuova estetica: architettura, grafica pubblicitaria, fotografia, danza, cinema, musica, moda e anche gastronomia (in città c'erano due ristoranti: la Taverna del Santopalato e Il sollazzo gastrico).Torino ha avuto un ruolo di primissimo piano nella diffusione e nell'affermarsi del Futurismo a partire dall'8 marzo 1910, quando al Teatro Chiarella di via Principe Tommaso viene organizzata la grande “serata futurista”: la terza in assoluto dalla nascita del movimento dopo quelle di Trieste e di Milano. Nel cuore del quartiere di San Salvario si svolse un evento sovversivo e sfrontato: performance che rompevano gli schemi con, sullo sfondo, bizzarre scenografie dalle forme geometriche e colori vivaci. I giochi di ombre e luci che si accendevano e si spegnevano a sorpresa davano l'impressione che le opere pittoriche e le sculture mostrate al pubblico galleggiassero quasi nello spazio. Lì venne presentato per la prima volta il Manifesto dei pittori futuristi, firmato anche dal torinese Giacomo Balla.Altro evento fondamentale fu l'Esposizione futurista internazionale, che si tenne dal 27 marzo al 27 aprile del 1922 al Winter Club, elegante e raffinata sala da ballo negli spazi sotterranei del Caffè Romano, in Galleria Subalpina, con esposte le opere di 43 artisti – tra cui Prampolini e Depero – di tutta Italia, accomunati dal voler dipingere, con la loro tavolozza vivace ed enfatica, ciò che si pensa e non ciò che si vede.Se nel 1918 la morte di Umberto Boccioni segna la fine del Primo Futurismo, il 5 marzo del 1923 nasce, in una mansarda di via Sacchi 54, la sezione torinese del Secondo Futurismo, la cui anima guida fu Fillia (al secolo Luigi Colombo, originario di Revello, in Provincia di Cuneo), personalità eclettica e geniale, pittore, poeta, scenografo, brillante animatore culturale, critico d'arte, polemista e autore di romanzi futuristi (La morte della donna, L'ultimo sentimentale e L'uomo senza sesso), nonché ideatore di ben sette riviste tra le quali “La città futurista” e “La Città Nuova”. Intorno a sé riuscì a coagulare un gruppo di artisti, tra cui il bulgaro Nicolay Diulgheroff, lo scultore Mino Rosso (che condivideva con Fillia la soffitta dell'elegante palazzina di via Cardinal Maurizio 30), Pippo Oriani, Ugo Pozzo (le cui opere sono state esposte al Guggenheim di New York e al Pompidou di Parigi), Tullio Alpinolo Bracci (in arte Kiribiri), Farfa (Vittorio Osvaldo Tommasini) e l'architetto Alberto Sartoris. A caratterizzarli fu la capacità di sperimentare forme d'arte diverse e innovative, come l'aeropittura, la moda e l'arredamento, dedicandosi all'inizio degli anni Trenta anche alla cucina. Il Futurismo potrebbe apparire un movimento essenzialmente “maschile” ma così non fu: le donne seppero essere protagoniste e non certo secondarie. Basta pensare a Benedetta Cappa, figura chiave del Futurismo piemontese, moglie di Marinetti e artista che ha saputo interpretare con estrema originalità gli aneliti del movimento, sperimentando pittura (il Tattilismo, evoluzione multi-sensoriale del Futurismo), letteratura e scenografia, e partecipando a ben cinque edizioni della Biennale di Venezia (nel 1930 fu la prima donna ad avere un'opera pubblicata nel catalogo dell'importante rassegna). Ma non solo: Regina, al secolo Regina Cassolo Bracchi, autrice di sculture in alluminio, leggere, geometriche e “aeree”, in perfetta sintonia con il mito futurista della macchina e del volo; Barbara, ovvero la novarese Olga Biglieri, una delle prime aviatrici italiane (aveva conseguito il brevetto a soli diciotto anni dopo aver iniziato a volare all'Aeroclub di Cameri); la pittrice Maria Luisa Lurini, conosciuta con lo pseudonimo di Marisa Mori, allieva di Felice Casorati; la poetessa Térésah, ovvero Corinna Teresa Gray Ubertis, nata a Firenze da una famiglia alessandrina di Frassineto Po, importante figura della vita culturale torinese (fu anche giornalista, pittrice, autrice di teatro); Cesarina Gualino, nata Cesarina Gurgo Salice, ballerina e pittrice, moglie dell'industriale, collezionista e mecenate torinese Riccardo Gualino, la cui scuola di danza consentì di far esibire nel 1926 a Torino i Ballets Russes di Sergei Diaghilev. L'Autore dedica poi capitoli specifici ad ogni arte e ai principali protagonisti di ciascun ambito: la fotografia (i fotomontaggi di Maggiorino Gramaglia); la musica (Alfredo Casella, ricordato da una lapide sulla facciata della casa natale in via Cavour 41); il cinema (l'unico film a tutti gli effetti futurista girato e ambientato a Torino è stato “Velocità/ Vitesse”, scritto e diretto nel 1930 dal pittore Pippo Oriani, con la collaborazione del futuro sceneggiatore di fumetti Guido Martina e dell'attrice nonché pittrice Tina Cordero); la pubblicità, non solo con Diulgheroff (Cordial Campari) e Pippo Oriani (che lavorò per la Leone), ma anche con Fedele Azari, detto “Dinamo”, aeropittore e aviatore nato a Pallanza (frazione di Verbania, allora facente parte della Provincia di Novara), che sperimentò il volantinaggio aereo (nel maggio 1920 inondò Milano, Torino e Genova con dei manifestini della Fiera campionaria internazionale, sorvolando le città a bordo di un dirigibile).Il 29 febbraio 1920 sul giornale “Roma Futurista” venne pubblicato il Manifesto della moda femminile futurista, firmato da Volt5 (Vincenzo Fani), che intendeva bandire tutto ciò che poteva essere riconducibile alla pura femminilità, inserendo capi tipicamente maschili come la giacca, i cappelli o la cravatta. In conformità alla dichiarazione di Balla, secondo il quale «si pensa e si agisce come si veste», i futuristi rigettavano le vecchie convenzioni sartoriali, optando per abiti anti-borghesi, aggressivi ed eccentrici («Idealizzeremo nella donna le conquiste più affascinanti della vita moderna (...). Faremo dei decolletés a zig-zag, maniche diverse l'una dall'altra, scarpe di forma, colore e altezza differenti»). In ambito maschile, furono lo scrittore Ignazio Scurto e lo scultore e pittore Renato Di Bosso a ideare la cravatta futurista, un grembiulino di metallo appeso ai becchetti della camicia.Il 28 dicembre 1930 sempre Marinetti firma sulla “Gazzetta del Popolo”, insieme a Fillia, il Manifesto della cucina futurista. Dagli stravaganti menù futuristi la pastasciutta è bandita, in quanto vivanda passatista, mentre vengono serviti antipasti intuitivi, aerovivande tattili con rumori e odori, Carne-plastico, Ultravirile, Pollofiat, Dolcelastico…Famoso il banchetto futurista che si tenne l'8 marzo 1931 alla Taverna del Santopalato, in via Vanchiglia 2, ad un passo da Piazza Vittorio. Il menù fu realizzato a mano da Depero, Fillia, Ugo Pozzo, Prampolini, Balla e Oriani, gli arredi color rosso vivo vennero ideati dalla coppia Fillia-Diulgheroff. Oggi al suo posto c'è la Trattoria Toscana, che all'interno conserva gelosamente la riproduzione del menù futurista della serata d'apertura.Maurizio Ternavasio, giornalista professionista che ha lavorato per quindici anni a “La Stampa”, è nato a Torino nel 1961 e abita nel quartiere Borgo Po. Maturità classica e laurea in Giurisprudenza, ha quattro figli. Il primo dei suoi libri, Macario, vita di un comico, è uscito nel 1998.

Matthew Kirschenbaum delivered Rare Book School's 2026 Sol M. and Mary Ann O'Brian Malkin Endowed Lecture, "From text to .txt: Making Material Messes in a Sloppy World," on 6 July 2026. About the Talk: By the turn of the millennium, the word “text” had become a verb. Three-and-a-half years ago, ChatGPT was released into the wild, decisively severing the link between writing and human expression. In 2025, Merriam-Webster's word of the year was “slop.” This talk will offer an attenuated archaeology of what someone we know once called the textual condition. And not to give away the game, but that condition is not good: today, text functions as something much more like a fossil fuel or other extractable resource than a medium for communication and expression. Nonetheless, the talk also asks how we can still make some good old fashioned material messes in a world of slop. Examples will be provided. Refreshments will be served. There may even be a book or two. About the Speaker: Matthew Kirschenbaum rejoined UVA in 2025 as Commonwealth Professor of Artificial Intelligence and English after 25 years at the University of Maryland, where he finished as a Distinguished University Professor. He considers himself a student of texts and textual technologies in all their social and material forms, and his scholarship and teaching have explored literary intersects with printing and bookmaking, archival science, media archaeology, digital humanities, and now artificial intelligence. He is the author of three books, most recently Bitstreams: The Future of Digital Literary Heritage from the University of Pennsylvania Press (2021). His first book, Mechanisms: New Media and the Forensic Imagination (2008) was the winner of multiple awards, including the MLA Prize for a First Book. Track Changes: A Literary History of Word Processing (2016) enjoyed widespread public media attention. Recent articles have appeared in PMLA, Critical Inquiry, and ELH; and he frequently writes for popular outlets, which have included the Atlantic, the Washington Post, Slate, Los Angeles Review of Books, Public Books, and the Chronicle of Higher Education. Kirschenbaum is an active member of the Modern Language Association's task force on AI in Research and Teaching, and a member of the teaching faculty at Rare Book School. He has been a Guggenheim and an NEH Fellow, and is a practicing letterpress printer. Current projects includes two books, the first on the political economy of text in the present moment and the second on the weaponization of AI in what some have called a full-blown epistemic crisis.

Can the work outlive the man enough to forgive him? Frank Lloyd Wright designed the homes that quietly shaped how millions of Americans live — and he was, by nearly every account, a genuinely difficult person to love. David (Black Sheep Makery, Big Dudu, Dudetunes) joins me to trace Wright's life from a childhood box of wooden blocks to Fallingwater, the Guggenheim, and a tragedy at his own home that killed seven people. We use his story to ask a bigger question: when the art is this good, does the artist's life even matter — and where do we draw that line today? Drawings from Frank Lloyd Wright, the early period mentioned throughout the episode.

Cuban performance and conceptual artist Tania Bruguera talks to John Wilson about her career and cultural influences. Her work explores freedom of speech, political oppression and social justice, often encouraging her audiences to become active participants in her performances, blurring the boundaries between art and viewer. Bruguera has exhibited at international museums including MOMA and the Guggenheim in New York, and at Tate Modern, where she made a major work for annual Turbine Hall commission. A new artwork of hers was in the inaugural exhibition at V&A East. Throughout her career in her homeland, Tania Bruguera has been repeatedly censored, arrested and detained by the Cuban authorities because of her political activism. She now lives in the US where she is senior lecturer at Harvard University. Producer: Edwina Pitman
In this episode, Britten is joined once again by Mariola Rosario for a conversation on channeled art, art history, mysticism, and the exciting timing of two major Paris exhibitions devoted to Hilma af Klint and Leonora Carrington. Topics They Cover: Mariola's early relationship with art, magical realism, the Caribbean, and the figure of the artist as someone who can conjure new realities. Britten's path through art history, grief, Paris, Symbolist art, atomic science, and the study of what cannot be seen with the naked eye. Hilma af Klint, the 2018 Guggenheim retrospective, and the "aperture" that seems to have opened around channeled artists and women whose work has long been omitted or minimized. The role of spirit guides, collaboration, and unseen forces in Hilma's work, including the way her paintings are now being described with more respect for the mystical context they came through. Leonora Carrington, surrealism, exile, the psychic world, and the women artists who were often placed at the margins of movements they helped shape. Mariola's upcoming Leo season class on self-portraiture, authorship, symbols, and the solar invitation to put the self onto the page. At the center of the conversation is the sense that we are in a moment of aperture: an opening that allows us to receive these artists so fully. Britten and Mariola speak to the hunger to know these women and their work, the importance of asking what has been omitted, and the creative partnerships that happen with both real humans and the invisible forces moving through the channel. Join Us In Paris: Britten LaRue and Mariola Rosario invite you to an in-person gathering in Paris. Moment of Aperture: On channeled art and gnosis with Leonora Carrington and Hilma af Klint. We're thrilled you are able to join us on Sunday, July 19, from 11:30-1 (please note the time change from what is named in the episode). The first part of our meetup will be a discussion. The second half will be more of a ritual. The exchange is 40 Euros.

She is currently launching Studio Solar, a creative research studio dedicated to seasonal astrological inquiry through art, symbols, and visual culture. Its first offering, Inventing the Self: Self-Portraiture & Solar Mythic Imagination with Leonor Fini & Leonora Carrington, begins on July 22 as a three-part course held during Leo season that draws on the work of Fini and Carrington as a starting point for conversations on 'the solar', self-portraiture, personal mythology, artistic practice, art making, and the creative imagination. Mariola writes on Substack at Las Flores del Mar, where she shares reflections on myth, art, monstrosity, astrology, politics, and the magic of language. Paid subscribers are also invited to join the Radical Book Club for Underworld Readers, a lively and generative collective devoted to reading critical texts together.

Photographers Jarod Lew and Reagan Louie join PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf to discuss how they explore cultural identity, personal loss, and trauma through photography. Lew and Louie are Asian American photographers from different generations, and their work reflects how the exploration of cultural identity in contemporary photography has evolved over the decades. While Louie takes a documentary photography approach, Lew works through more conceptual constructs. Their conversation with Wolf highlights the visual differences between their practices while revealing striking resonances in how they discuss their approach. https://www.jarodlew.com https://www.reaganlouie.com Jarod Lew is an artist who draws on photography to explore intergenerational encounters with diasporic loss, displacement, and postmemory. Through this exploration, his work contends with the performativity of race and its instability as a locus of meaning. His project, Please Take Off Your Shoes was shortlisted for the Aperture Portfolio Prize in 2021, and was exhibited in a group exhibition at SFMOMA titled Kinship: Photography and Connection in 2023. His other project, In Between You and Your Shadow, examines his relationship with his mother, who was the fiancé of Vincent Chin--the subject of a hate-crime that brought national attention to matters of Asian American civil rights. In 2025, Lew will mount his first museum exhibition at the University of Michigan Museum of Art titled- Strange You Never Knew. His works are held in public and private collections including the Cantor Art Center, Detroit Institute of Arts, Kadist, San Francisco, Harvard Art Museum, University of Michigan Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Lew's work has been written about in Aperture, Artforum, Elephant Magazine, and Aesthetica Magazine. Lew graduated with an MFA in photography at the Yale School of Art. Reagan Louie's photography and installations explore global transformation and cultural identity. He is currently at work on several projects that focus on the relationship between home and homeland; including a book about his family's immigration from China to America. And a Virtual Reality experience about his ancestral home, Wing Wor. His work is exhibited at institutions: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Modern Art NY, Philadelphia Art Museum, Fotomuseum Winterthur, Gwangju Biennale. Louie's photographs are in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Modern Art NY, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Oakland Museum, Cantor Art Museum. Louie's photographs are widely published. His books have received critical acclaim. The New York Times Book Review named his first book on China, “Toward a Truer Life”, the photography book of the year. He is the recipient of numerous awards - The Guggenheim fellowship, National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, Lange-Taylor Prize, and Fulbright Fellowship.
THE SUPREME COURT SAYS NO TO BIOLOGICAL BOYS IN GIRLS SPORTS! This is such a HUGE win for girls. I’ll have more when more comes out. Rich Guggenheim joins me at 1 tgo talk about it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Eileen Guggenheim, a former aide to then-Prince Charles and now leading the New York Academy of Art, emphatically denied any role in facilitating an introduction between Charles and Jeffrey Epstein. Her statement came in response to recurring tabloid insinuations suggesting that she had served as the conduit linking the future king to the disgraced financier. Her denial was swift and pointed: simply put, she had no involvement in bringing the two into contact.Yet this sort of sweeping, “nothing to see here” denial has become almost a reflex among those who orbited Epstein — a well-rehearsed performance of indignation that sidesteps the deeper questions. Guggenheim can insist she never introduced Charles to Epstein, but the problem is that these denials are often delivered in a vacuum, without transparency, documentation, or a willingness to open the books. In the Epstein ecosystem, too many people have tried to firewall their reputations with carefully worded statements, betting that the press won't dig past the headline. Whether her claim is true or not, it lands in the same well-worn pattern: elite figures distancing themselves from Epstein only when their names surface, and offering little more than their own word as proof.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8652923/Prince-Charles-former-aide-denies-introducing-student-Jeffrey-Epstein.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
John Demjanjuk lived for decades as a retired autoworker in suburban Cleveland. Then investigators accused him of being "Ivan the Terrible," one of the most notorious guards at Treblinka. What followed was one of the strangest and most troubling Nazi war-crimes cases of the postwar era: extradition, eyewitness testimony, a death sentence, a reversal, and a final prosecution many years later. In this episode, Michael Shermer talks with Lawrence Douglas, professor at Amherst College and author of The Criminal State: War Atrocity and the Dream of International Justice, about Demjanjuk, Eichmann, Nuremberg, Holocaust denial, and the problem of proving atrocities decades after they happened. How reliable is eyewitness memory after 40 or 50 years? What did Nuremberg actually establish? Was Eichmann really just a bureaucrat? And can a courtroom ever deliver justice for crimes almost too large to comprehend? Lawrence Douglas is the James J. Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought at Amherst College and a Guggenheim fellow. His many books include The Right Wrong Man and The Memory of Judgment. His writing has appeared in leading publications such as Harper's, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. His new book is The Criminal State: War Atrocity and the Dream of International Justice.
Pop art and New York share a special relationship. The Guggenheim was particularly important to the evolution of the genre in the city, when a British curator organized the first museum presentation of Pop art in New York in 1963. This summer, the Guggenheim is exploring the Pop art in its collection with a new exhibit, Guggenheim Pop: 1960 to Now, featuring the work of 29 artists who engaged in Pop art, from the past to the present. Guggenheim curator Lauren Hinkson discusses the show and the unique artistic signatures of Pop. Image Courtesy of the artist and Perrotin: Maurizio Cattelan,Comedian, 2019.

Artspeak Radio, Wednesday, July 1, 2026, 9am -10am CST, 90.1fm KKFI Kansas City Community Radio, streaming live audio www.kkfi.org Producer/host Maria Vasquez Boyd welcomes Kansas Poet Laureate Traci Brimhall and artist/writer Jim Ramirez. TRACI BRIMHALL is a university distinguished professor of creative writing at Kansas State University, as well as the 2025 Poet-in-Residence at the Guggenheim. She is the author of five collections of poetry, most recently Love Prodigal (Copper Canyon Press, 2024). Her nonfiction debut, The Grief Artist, will be published by Sarabande Books in 2026. Known for her poems that often marry the ordinary with the surreal, Brimhall's work has appeared widely in journals and magazines such as The New Yorker, Orion, The Atlantic, The New Republic, Poetry, The Nation, and The New York Times Magazine. Through fellowships with the National Endowment of the Arts, National Park Service, and Academy of American Poets she's taught writing workshops in farm schools, art museums, libraries, medical communities, and the outdoors. She's also received a Karnes Fellowships through Purdue Library's Special Collections to study the lost poem drafts of Amelia Earhart. She is the current poet laureate of Kansas, where her initiatives have centered on uniting the state's agricultural roots with the literary arts. Through poetry cookbooks, food-based mad lib poems, and bringing poetry to the State Fair, her literary arts advocacy seeks ways to bring the nourishment of language to all Kansans. As Poet Laureate of Kansas, Brimhall will conduct public readings, workshops, lectures, and presentations that serve communities across the state. Her plans for the laureateship will focus on connecting with Kansans through the shared experience of language, Kansas' agricultural roots, and food. “I am delighted to serve Kansas as the next Poet Laureate,” Professor Traci Brimhall said. “I love connecting with others and building community, and I can't wait for the next few years of celebrating creativity in the Sunflower State.” As the Poet Laureate of Kansas, Traci promotes arts as a public resource to all Kansans. Currently, Traci offers two prepared talks as laureate: WHY CAN'T THE HEART STOP ASKING? Poetry is an art of attention. But sometimes the more attention we pay to the world, the more astonishing and confusing it can be. The medical researcher Jonas Salk said: “What people think of as the moment of discovery is really the discovery of the question.” I believe this also holds true for poetry. What images do we see each day that excite our minds? What sounds do we hear that awaken our hearts? What poems ask for our attention and reward us with discovery? This presentation will use poetry to create surprises, explore our curiosities, and find new questions. MEMORY FEAST In so many communities there is an appetite to find language for our experiences and connect with others. Joyce Carol Oates said: “If food is poetry, is not poetry also food?” I believe cuisine can be a link to open a memory, a great way to connect with those we love, and a source of inspiration for poetry. This presentation will use poetry to connect us both with our senses in daily activities as well as help us recall memories that remind us of family, culture and community. Poetry can be a place of nourishment, a bounty of the sensory, a feast of words. The above programs are designed for a roughly 60-minute time frame but can be adjusted if necessary. Traci may be able to accommodate other program or appearance requests, but priority will be given for the listed programs.

Maddie McGarvey: A 15‑Year Photojournalism Journey in Appalachia What emerging photographers can learn from a long‑form documentary that went from a college grant to the New York Times. “The camera was an excuse to talk to people.

The Author Events Series presents Annette Gordon-Reed | Jefferson on Race: A Reader In Conversation with Patrick Spero, Ph.D Among America's Founding Fathers, none was more deeply, personally, or controversially entangled with race and slavery than Thomas Jefferson. The man whose Declaration of Independence proclaimed that ''all men are created equal'' enslaved more than 600 people of African descent even as he acknowledged the injustice of slavery, saw himself as its opponent, and condemned it in his writings. How is this possible? In Jefferson on Race, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed gathers Jefferson's most revealing writings about African Americans, slavery, and Native Americans, enabling readers as never before to directly explore his complex and contradictory thoughts, feelings, and decisions on these subjects-the most hotly debated aspect of his legacy. These selections come from Jefferson's public and private writings, letters, and plantation records, as well as accounts by contemporaries, including his son Madison Hemings and three other people formerly enslaved at Monticello. The book documents Jefferson's ideas about-and self-image in relation to-African Americans, slavery, and Native Americans, as well as his conduct, including interactions with individual Black and Native people. The writings show how Jefferson responded to living in a multiracial slave society while professing progressive ideals, and how his views on race and slavery were shaped by his experiences with enslaved Black people. Jefferson on Race is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand Jefferson's conflicted attitudes-and the impact of race and slavery on American history. Annette Gordon-Reed is the Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard University. Gordon-Reed won 16 book prizes, including the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, for The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family (2008). She is the author of six books, and editor of two. She was the Vyvyan Harmsworth Visiting Professor of American History at the University of Oxford (Queen's College) 2014-2015, and was appointed an Honorary Fellow at Queen's in 2021. Gordon-Reed served as the 2018-2019 President of the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic, and is currently president of the Organization of American Historians. Her honors include fellowships from the Guggenheim and MacArthur Foundations, and the National Humanities Medal. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, and the British Academy. Patrick Spero, Ph.D., is the Chief Executive Officer of the American Philosophical Society and a scholar of early American history. Dr. Spero is the author of four books on the era of the American Revolution. They are Frontier Country: The Politics of War in Early Pennsylvania (2016), which was named a staff pick by the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2017, Frontier Rebels: The Fight for Independence in the American West, 1765-1776 (2018), winner of the Philadelphia Athenaeum's Literary Award and a finalist for the Journal of the American Revolution's best book of the year, The Scientist Turned Spy: Andre Michaux, Thomas Jefferson, and the Kentucky Conspiracy of 1793 (2024), and The Other Presidency: Thomas Jefferson and the American Philosophical Society (2024).

Most indie authors know print-on-demand. Pop-up and movable books inhabit a very different world — one of hand-assembly, specialist printers, and minimum print runs that make the economics unlike anything in standard publishing. In this episode, Anna Featherstone talks with Kelli Anderson, paper engineer and author of Alphabet in Motion, about what it actually takes to bring a movable book to life. They cover the manufacturing process, working with printers, using Kickstarter to fund a 25,000-copy print run, and where a curious author might begin if this form is calling to them.

Alaska is a land brimming with natural resources, including gold, silver, copper, coal, oil, salmon, and crab. Still, too often, outsiders have plundered these resources, enriching themselves and leaving Alaska and Alaskans with little to show for it. Alaska has had a “boom and bust” economy since the early 1900s, and no place exemplifies this economy better than Valdez. The aggressive Alaska Syndicate was formed in 1906 with backing from J.P. Morgan and the Guggenheim family, and its initial goal was to mine copper. However, soon the syndicate wanted all Alaska had to offer, including gold, coal, and salmon. It also fought to control rail and sea transportation in Alaska, and with powerful government connections and unlimited funds, it mostly got what it wanted. It needed a railroad to transport copper from its remote Kennecott mines to the ocean, then steamships to ferry it to southern ports. The syndicate chose to construct rail tracks from Kennecott to Cordova, and when rival builders began constructing a railroad from Valdez to Alaska's interior, a violent confrontation erupted, culminating in a shootout in Keystone Canyon.

Episode 304 reunites The Analysts — Remarkable Retail's celebrated panel of Forrester's Sucharita Kodali, Guggenheim's Simeon Siegel, and GlobalData's Neil Saunders — to take stock of retail coming out of earnings season. Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc open on the paradox of 2026: results are largely strong, sentiment is dismal. Simeon argues the link between the two is "tenuous at best" — people talk one way and spend another. Neil has the data: roughly 60% of shoppers who expect the economy to worsen still spent more than a year ago, propped up by spring tax refunds that won't repeat. Then the K-shaped economy. Higher-income households drive most of the real volume growth; middle-income shoppers prop up value growth mainly because prices are higher. Sucharita revisits "peak ambiguity" and the "vibe session," noting record sales barely outrun stubborn inflation. The panel unpacks the standouts — Ross's 17% comp, Victoria's Secret up 15% — and debates GLP-1's role in surging apparel and beauty: wardrobe replacement, new confidence, trading up to statement pieces. On turnarounds, Simeon lands the episode's sharpest thesis: brands "ubiquitize" and peak around $3–4 billion in the US. Lululemon got too big, over-distributed, and over-earning — so the bad sales have to "walk out the door" before the brand can re-elevate, the same lens that frames Nike's long reset. He and Sucharita draw the Gap parallel ahead of Simeon's on-stage interview with Mickey Drexler, noting Old Navy now dwarfs Gap itself. Neil makes the case for Macy's under Tony Spring — basics fixed first, satisfaction and visitation improving — while Steve stays skeptical of the pace. Next, the DTC reckoning. Simeon reframes his old "DTC is not all it's cracked up to be" call as "anti-anti-wholesale": outside high-margin luxury, nearly every brand needs a healthy wholesale business — and stores remain the best channel because "the customer is your employee." Sucharita pushes back on the AI narrative, reminding everyone it's far more than generative hype, as the panel digs into why scaled players — Amazon, Walmart, Costco, off-price — keep compounding through retail media, marketplaces, and flywheel economics. It closes on the wealth effect, trillion-dollar market caps, and whether a market correction could rattle high-end spending — then rapid-fire hot takes: brands to watch (Cozey, Ross Stores, Goyard) and what's on each analyst's radar, from inflation and surging oil prices to a quiet "middle of the doughnut" news lull and an election year's hunt for stability.

In this new episode, Patrick Hogarty fills in for Joe and exposes a nation spinning out of control, delivering a raw, unfiltered look at a system that feels completely turned upside down. From delayed ballot counting and the eroding integrity of our elections to the weaponization of radical movements targeting local, faith-based small businesses right here in Denver, Patrick connects the dots on how global and partisan interests are systematically being prioritized over everyday citizens. With hard-hitting breakdowns on the deliberate handling of the southern border and a shocking look at policies stripping away parental rights across the country, this episode is a rallying cry for common sense, accountability, and the defense of American communities before they are fractured beyond repair.Joining the conversation is Rich Guggenheim, a native Coloradan, peer-reviewed scientist, and Republican candidate for Colorado State Senate District 25. Known to his massive online following as a fearless conservative voice, Rich brings a uniquely pragmatic perspective to the fight against institutional overreach. Having successfully sued the state legislature in federal court over free speech censorship and stepped forward as a federal whistleblower, Rich details exactly how he plans to take his personal battle against the political establishment straight to the State Capitol to restore balance to a state currently dominated by one-party control.Together, Patrick and Rich dive deep into the pressing issues facing Colorado families, from skyrocketing property taxes and the defense of the state's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) to pulling ideological experiments out of public school classrooms. They explore how to bridge political divides, protect parental rights, and advocate for balanced, scientifically sound energy policies that keep utility bills low and the grid reliable. This is not just a standard political breakdown—it is an essential, front-line conversation for anyone ready to stand up, confront the machine, and demand a return to law, order, and sanity.
With thanks to “forever” plastics, the earth has reverted to sand and dust. Dylan has been raised by her scientist mother, in a pod under the sea, and longs to escape the loneliness of being confined. The only friend she ever had was a pen pal from Mars, who disappeared. With great effort, she's escorted onto land, to the place of her mother's employment where she becomes the groundskeeper. Unofficially, she begins studying sand. After a few years, the company sends her on a vacation and she meets Melanie, possibly a robot. Love flourishes on the floundering planet, but death is never far, and Dylan's pen pal returns too late in Earth 7 (Graywolf Press 2026), a dystopian novel about the frailty of the planet, the ongoing need for scientific research, and the human struggle for survival. Deb Olin Unferth is the author of seven books, including the novels Barn 8 and Vacation, the memoir Revolution, finalist for the National Book Critics' Circle Award, two story collections, and the graphic novel I, Parrot. Her fiction and essays have appeared in over fifty magazines and journals, including Harper's, the New York Times, The Paris Review, Granta, and McSweeney's. She has received a Guggenheim fellowship, three Pushcart Prizes, a Creative Capital Fellowship for Innovative Literature, fellowships from the MacDowell, Yaddo, and Ucross residencies.

With thanks to “forever” plastics, the earth has reverted to sand and dust. Dylan has been raised by her scientist mother, in a pod under the sea, and longs to escape the loneliness of being confined. The only friend she ever had was a pen pal from Mars, who disappeared. With great effort, she's escorted onto land, to the place of her mother's employment where she becomes the groundskeeper. Unofficially, she begins studying sand. After a few years, the company sends her on a vacation and she meets Melanie, possibly a robot. Love flourishes on the floundering planet, but death is never far, and Dylan's pen pal returns too late in Earth 7 (Graywolf Press 2026), a dystopian novel about the frailty of the planet, the ongoing need for scientific research, and the human struggle for survival. Deb Olin Unferth is the author of seven books, including the novels Barn 8 and Vacation, the memoir Revolution, finalist for the National Book Critics' Circle Award, two story collections, and the graphic novel I, Parrot. Her fiction and essays have appeared in over fifty magazines and journals, including Harper's, the New York Times, The Paris Review, Granta, and McSweeney's. She has received a Guggenheim fellowship, three Pushcart Prizes, a Creative Capital Fellowship for Innovative Literature, fellowships from the MacDowell, Yaddo, and Ucross residencies.
