In this episode, we interview Historian, Journalist & New York Times bestselling Author Evan Thomas about his brand new book, Road to Surrender: Three Men and the Countdown to the End of World War.Road to Surrender is a riveting, immersive account of the agonizing decision to use nuclear weapons against Japan. To bring these critical events to vivid life Evan Thomas draws on the diaries and correspondence of three key players - Stimson (American Secretary of War), Togo (Japanese Foreign Minister) and Spaatz (head of strategic bombing in the Pacific). He lays out the behind-the-scenes thoughts, feelings, motivations, and decision-making of three people who changed history. Through rare access to diaries and personal discussions we have insight into the moral dilemmas faced on both sides and how the key political decision makers grappled with these impossibly difficult decisions and contemplated the immense weight of their historic decision.“In this meticulously crafted and vivid account, Evan Thomas tells the gripping and terrifying story of the last days of the Second World War in the Pacific” - Margaret MacMillan, author of War: How Conflict Shaped Us.Check out the book here on Amazon.

President Biden travels to Hiroshima this week for a meeting of the G-7.  While there, he plans to acknowledge the devastation wrought by the atomic bomb dropped on the city by U.S. forces, but the White House says he does not plan to make any apologies for America's actions during World War II. Though 78 years have passed since the United States unleashed the power of the atomic bomb on Japan, the weapon continues to cast a shadow over geopolitics. And questions linger as to whether the call to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the right one.  Could the war have ended without the use of these nuclear weapons? Could the U.S. have merely tested the bomb on a desert island as a show of force? And was it necessary to drop the second bomb on Nagasaki? Historian and author Evan Thomas explores these questions in a new book titled, “The Road to Surrender.” In it, Thomas goes back in time to tell the story of the leaders grappling with the “morally fraught decisions” about whether to use their new weapon of mass destruction, and how to put an end to a brutal war.

Amity Shlaes—Historian and Author of “Coolidge”, “The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression”, and “Great Society: A New History”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her recent Wall Street Journal editorial, “The Gilded Age Myth, Then and Now.” In the piece, Shales argues: “Everything old is new again, and blaming the rich for America's woes is no exception. The rise of progressivism before the turn of the 20th century was fueled by the perception that “robber barons” of industry and finance had earned their fortunes from their monopoly power that allowed them to exploit the poor and middle class… That thinking has re-emerged in the Democratic Party today, though this time it has its sights set on our economy's tech giants… The wealth created by industrialization, modern finance and communication has reduced poverty, elevated material well-being and promoted general prosperity. Economic growth isn't a zero-sum game.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-gilded-age-myth-then-and-now-income-inequality-progressive-movement-economic-output-507dbc69?mod=opinion_lead_pos5

For 20 years, I've felt like Molly Worthen and I have lived parallel lives. We graduated college the same year. We wrote for some of the same publications, on some of the same subjects. But I chose to head into church ministry, while she settled into the academy and earned her PhD from Yale.Molly is associate professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. You may have read her work in The New York Times, Slate, or Christianity Today.She is perhaps best known for her award-winning book, Apostles of Reason: The Crisis of Authority in American Evangelicalism (Oxford University Press, 2014.) In that book, Molly wrote that evangelicals “craved an intellectual authority that would quiet disagreement and dictate and plan for fixing everything that seemed broken with the world. They did not find it, and are still looking.”In his critical review for The Gospel Coalition, Al Mohler wrote, “This is a book to be reckoned with. In terms of its comprehensive grasp of the evangelical movement, its detailed research, and its serious approach to understanding the evangelical mind, Apostles of Reason stands nearly alone in the larger world of academic publishing. Any serious-minded evangelical should read it.” He also described the book as infuriating and described Molly's work as sometimes snarky toward evangelicals.Well, much has changed in a decade. Molly joined me on Gospelbound to discuss her scholarship, as well as her experience in the church and academy.

Over these nine weeks, two guys who treat all listeners with grasshopper hats - Michael & Logan - are recapping and breaking down everything that happens as we try and work out who to get matching tattoos with, continuing with the seventh episode and elimination of international sweetheart, Ruben! In this episode - we try and put a positive spin on Logan not being able to come to the finale, Michael reveals his first reaction, we apologise to YouTube (but not the trolls), vindication has happened, we take advantage of the English, a potential sponsor is found, Logan tries to make a naughty reference, there's an actual genuine sort of announcement about Historians, tongue twisters are attempted (and butchered), no-one kisses Lancelot's balls, no-one uses matches anymore, we praise the way the group exemption was handled, there are the latest updates to our Pool and First Suspicions, someone might be hate-playing, our final suspicions are locked in and we worry that België Lore might have been broken again. You can play along with the final week of this season of the Bother's Bar Suspect List here. We will see you on Tuesday for Diary of a Mole (Finale) II and Thursday for the finale! Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10, 14, 17-23 and Renaissance; België 4-10) may be made.

Every day seems to bring a new headline about artificial intelligence. Some are good, but many raise concerns about the impact of developments in the technology. This week the so-called "godfather of AI", Dr Geoffrey Hinton, quit Google as he outed his concerns about the "existential risk" posed by digital intelligence. Since ChatGPT's public release late last year there's been an explosion of its use, and a massive amount of investment by Big Tech in similar large language models. But it's also prompted calls for a half-year pause on further AI training amid worries about where humanity could be left as systems advance. So is the speed of AI developments concerning? And where are humans left in the AI race? Kathryn speaks with Dr Jonnie Penn, Assistant Teaching Professor of AI Ethics and Society at the University of Cambridge, Affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard University, and Associate Fellow at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence. He's also the author of the number 1 New York Times bestselling book 'What do you want to do before you die?'. And he's in New Zealand for the Future State event, being run by Spark Lab and Semi Permanent, which looks at the driving forces behind the next era of tech innovation.

Between 1964 and 1966, Stearns served in Vietnam and Japan as a photographer while on active duty in the U.S. Navy.

It exhibited artists such as Lori LaMont, Todd Brainard, Richard Lopez, Elizabeth Washburn, Adam Normandin and Roderick Briggs. The gallery closed in 2008.In 2012 he moved his studio and gallery to San Pedro, under the name Michael Stearns Studio 347 and later to Michael Stearns Studio at the LOFT.As a sculptor Michael works with cardboard and newspaper as a way to bring nature and urban society together. In Michael's artist statement, he explains how his work exemplifies his spirit. It reads in part:"In my work I dig deep into the origin of life and explore the universal questions; how did we arrive and what is the force driving this existence?I strive also to invite the observer into this place of examination.As a painter, I work with organic shapes and mostly bold colors to intensify the imagery. In my sculptures I incorporate natural materials along with urban components, creating communication out of discord."https://www.michaelstearnsstudio.com/

Our guest today is Andrew J. Huebner, who clearly didn't think through the idea of recording live in the Odysea Waterfront Lounge at the Hilton Bayfront in San Diego, in the middle of the Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History! Thankfully, most military historians avoid bars, pubs, etc. (NOT!). But we had a great chat and the sound turned out ok, so thanks for your patience with the sound quality on this one! Andrew is Professor of History at the University of Alabama. He earned his undergraduate degree from Northwestern University and his PhD from Brown University. Andrew was a visiting professor at Brown from 2004-2006 and a lecturer in History and English at Harvard during the same span. Since 2017, he has been an Organization of American Historians Distinguished Lecturer. He is the author of Love and Death in the Great War (Oxford), which won the President's Book Prize from the Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, and The Warrior Image: Soldiers in American Culture from the Second World War to the Vietnam Era (UNC), a Nota Bene selection of Chronicle of Higher Education.

Today I sit down with Historian Martyn Rady and discuss his latest book: The Middle Kingdoms: A New History of Central Europe. This is a sweeping, survey history of Central Europe that is accessible to any reader whatever their knowledge of Central European history. There is a lot in the book and we, in the interview, only get to the Thirty Years' War. Though we do start in the Roman Empire so I guess that's progress!

Todd Prescott joins "On the Shoulders of Giants- Talking Old Timers with Thomas Steenburg" hosts Thomas and Julie to discuss how he began the incredicle task of archiving John Green's reports and research documents several years ago. Also they discuss some of the historically important investigators and their stories, such as Green, Dahinden, Titmus, Todd's Sasquatch archive YouTube channels and much more!   Todd Prescott took an interest in the Sasquatch study at an early age.  At age 18, he started doing solo field research which would continue for several years. He traveled throughout Ontario and British Columbia following up on numerous reports and partaking in solo research outings. In 2012 through to 2014, he met several times with John Green and was granted access to Green's massive collection of letters, photos, slides, negatives, and cassette recording of interviews dating back to the late 1950s. Realizing the importance of Green's and other's collections, Todd created a YouTube channel, The Sasquatch Archives, to showcase various facets of Sasquatch research. In March 2023, he created another channel, The Sasquatch Archives TV, to compliment his other channel and to exclusively feature media coverage of Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti. Todd has magazine articles published on the subject and acted as Editor for various printed materials on the Sasquatch subject. He was most recently featured in Tim Halloran's book, Bigfoot Influencers.

We visit New York City's Chinatown with culinary historian, cookbook author, and campaigner Grace Young. The largest in the US, it is known for an abundance of markets, eateries, multi-generational businesses, and independent stores serving New Yorkers and tourists from all over the world. It is home to a predominantly Chinese Asian diaspora dating back to the mid-1800s and today this area includes communities from Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, and more.  On a tour through the area, Grace guides Chrystal around Chinatown's streets and landmarks. They begin at 65 Mott Street, the oldest tenement building in NYC, followed by a visit to Mee Sum Cafe, a local hangout since 1967 and now a household name known for its casual setting, Zongzi Chinese tamales, ginger tea, and small plates. Together they explore Grace's favorite food markets, fishmongers and bakeries in the area.  To end, Chrystal visits Grace's home where she learns about the art and history of the wok, and how to make the perfect stir fry. In conversation with Chrystal, Grace shares why Chinatown is a living encyclopedia, the still felt impact of COVID-19 and anti-Asian racism, and the importance of supporting Chinatown's history and future.  If you like what you heard, please subscribe, write us a review and join the conversation at Stance Podcast and all podcasting apps @stancepodcast @chrystalgenesis and visit Stance's website for more info and links from this episode.

On this edition of Parallax Views, historian and sociologist Prof. Harvey J. Kaye returns to discuss the new edition of his 1984 book The British Marxist Historians. In said book, Prof. Kaye delved into how E.P. Thompson, Maurice Dobb, Christopher Hill, Eric Hobsbawn, and Rodney Hilton offered material analyses on a variety of historical matters that challenged conventional notions held by many other historians. In doing so they also took a heterodox approach to Marxism. In this conversation we explore the contributions of the British Marxist Historians and the ways in which they offered an innovative "history from the bottom up" approach to understanding the past. Harvey and I discuss: - Eric Hobsbawn's defense of the Luddites, the radical machine breakers who jobs were lost in the industrial age - The value of the English Marxist historians today and addressing criticisms that Marxism's usefulness as a form of analysis has dried up - Kaye's thoughts on and criticism of the work of The People's History of the United States historian Howard Zinn - The role Anthony Giddens, a founder of the "Third Way" political position, in the publication of The British Marxist Historians - Neoliberalism, class struggle, the working class, the ruling class, the base/superstructures discourse, and Marxist analysis of history - And much, much more!

This last week of April, we enjoy an art of the garden conversation with artist, historian, gardener and environmental advocate Rebecca Allan. Bronx-New York-based, Rebecca is “known for her richly layered and chromatically nuanced abstract paintings. Her work investigates watershed environments and landscapes and is inspired by her deep interest in botany and land conservation. In 2018 Rebecca established Painterly Gardens, a firm specializing in sustainable garden design. From January through June of 2023, Rebecca's solo show, Cultivating Eden is featured at Wave Hill House & Garden. The exhibit presents Rebecca's recent paintings focused on the labor of gardeners and their spaces. By artistically highlighting working process—both visible and unnoticed—her series praises the devoted care that the gardeners provide on a daily basis. She sees Wave Hill as “a special place where art and horticulture are intertwined. Both practices require tenacity, refined skill and historical curiosity.” As an artist and gardener Rebecca notes that one motivation behind her work is “a desire to nurture the world by envisioning and then enacting spaces where beauty is revealed.”
