Somewhere between 85 to 95 percent of Black women in the United States have used a chemical hair relaxer at least once in their lifetime. It is a ubiquitous American product with a complicated legacy: it built Black wealth and opened economic doors, but also taught generations to see their hair as a problem to be solved. And now research is revealing a physical cost. Roman Mars and producer Priscilla Alabi explore how a single product became a mirror for all of America's contradictions.A History of the United States in 100 Objects is a production of 99% Invisible and BBC Studios.

Marxism Got Into The Church. John Zmirak Says It Never Really Left. Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, John Zmirak joins Eric to discuss how the ideas of Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud influenced modern Christianity. Zmirak argues that some churches tried to accommodate ideas they considered intellectually respectable and, in the process, began explaining away biblical miracles, reshaping Christian teaching around Marxist politics, and replacing traditional ideas about sin with Freudian psychology. Eric and John discuss Darwinism, Genesis, the Resurrection, liberation theology, Freud's influence, and what happens when Christians become embarrassed by the supernatural claims at the heart of their faith. Earlier, Eric continues his remarkable story from Greece and shares an update on plans to excavate the site believed to contain the palace of Odysseus. John Zmirak Joins Darwin, Marx And Freud Inside The Church Why Christians Began Explaining Away Miracles How Marxism Entered Christian Churches Can Christianity Survive Without The Supernatural?

American history is in the news a lot these days. We see and hear about fights over monuments, textbooks, and the stories we should include or exclude from our museums and historic markers.What these stories overshadow is the great demand for more history in the United States.

MacArthur Professor of History at Northwestern University. The guest historians share more about the origins of the national, coordinated weekend of history programs, how we can get involved, and where to find more information.SUPPORT OUR WORK
Whaling is something that humans have engaged in for thousands of years. For most of that time, indigenous groups conducted it on a small scale for subsistence purposes. Over time, whaling became commercialized, the annual whale harvest exploded, and whaling became a cornerstone of the early Industrial Revolution. Alas, it couldn't last forever.

Patty McCormack became famous as a child for playing one of the most unsettling little girls in movie history. But there was far more to her life and career than Rhoda Penmark in The Bad Seed. From her early days as a child actress and Broadway performer to her transition into adult roles, Patty built a career that stretched across decades. We'll explore her rise to fame, the challenges of growing up in the spotlight, the role that made her famous, and how she continued working long after many child stars disappeared from the screen. Because Patty McCormack's story isn't just about playing a famously bad little girl. It's about what happened to the woman who had to grow up after America watched her be terrifyingly good at being evil.

Today on the show, the balance of Congressional power is up for grabs in this midterm election. It could be determined by a small number of voters in a few battleground states. Blueprints from the past could be the guide for big wins. The GOP has embraced a block-the-vote strategy set in motion in Arizona in the 1960s. And the Democrats are embracing a grassroots power base set up in Michigan in the 1970s.Guests:John A.

Misha Glenny delves in to the In Our Time archive to select ten episodes for listeners to revisit. His seventh choice is the pioneering scientist Rosalind Franklin (1920 - 1958), first released in February 2018. During her distinguished career, Franklin carried out ground-breaking research into coal and viruses but she is perhaps best remembered for her investigations in the field of DNA. In 1952 her research generated a famous image that became known as Photograph 51. When the Cambridge scientists Francis Crick and James Watson saw this image, it enabled them the following year to work out that DNA has a double-helix structure, one of the most important discoveries of modern science. Watson, Crick and Franklin's colleague Maurice Wilkins received a Nobel Prize in 1962 for this achievement but Franklin did not and today many people believe that Franklin has not received enough recognition for her work.

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric shares the possible answer to a mystery that has puzzled him for months. Eric and Suzanne independently witnessed nearly the same startling sight on the same day: a hawk holding a dove in its talons, once in Connecticut and once in Manhattan.After returning from Greece and rereading Homer's Odyssey, Eric discovered a strikingly similar bird sign in the ancient story, where it is interpreted as a warning that Odysseus is returning and justice is coming. Ken Fish joins Eric to discuss whether experiences like this can be interpreted as signs from God, how Christians should approach them carefully, and what divine justice means in the present moment.They also discuss current questions about political accountability before Ken previews the upcoming Orbis Ministries Luminosity conference in Nashville.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World

The Price of Freedom is Discipline!In the market, everybody wants Financial Freedom, but few people want to pay what it costs to get there. The patience to wait on the right setup. The Discipline to manage risk. The sacrifice to invest instead of consume. Life works the same way. You can pray for freedom, but GOD may answer that prayer by giving you responsibility. Freedom costs comfort. It costs excuses. It costs becoming accountable for what GOD put in your hands. Because freedom ain't free just because you finally got it. You still gotta have the discipline to keep it. And if you're unwilling to pay the price of freedom today, you may spend tomorrow paying the price of bondage.The PRICE of FREEDOM | Wallstreet Trapper (Episode 210)Join our Exclusive Patreon!!!

Yankee fans criticizing Mets supporters for cheering Pete Alonso have a problem: history shows the Bronx did the same thing for Reggie Jackson. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash revisit Jackson's 1982 return to Yankee Stadium, when fans gave him a huge ovation after he homered off Ron Guidry, and Shaun unloads on anyone trying to lecture Mets fans now. The crew also debates the Jets' first-ever whiteout against Green Bay, with Evan refusing to ditch his green jersey just because the team asked fans to wear white. Plus, the Yankees' fading AL East hopes hinge on Tampa Bay finally losing, and Sterling Shepard's return to New York inspires a look at some of the strangest crosstown reunions in local sports.

Black on Black Cinema tackles Trump's ongoing assault on American landmarks. The East Wing of the White House was abruptly demolished last October, sparking legal battles over the approval process. Now the Kennedy Center is facing demolition threats over his childish desire to have his name on the building. The historic East Potomac cherry blossom grove; a 1912 gift from Japan is at real risk as Trump terminates a 50-year lease to build a "championship" golf course, with debris from the demolished East Wing literally dumped on the same site. The Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting Pool sits in disarray after a botched, unbid renovation.We ask the harder question: why does this president's legacy consistently manifest as destruction rather than creation? And as Black people, we sit with the real complexity here, many of these landmarks were built by enslaved people, monuments to a history that never fully included us. Is preservation even our fight? We land somewhere honest: this is still our country, our history, our capital, and watching it get torn down for spite and a golf handicap isn't something we're willing to be apathetic about, however complicated our relationship to these buildings really is.The next film to be review will be "I Love Boosters," written and directed by Boots Riley. The film follows a group of shoplifters who take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven by stealing her clothes and reselling them at a lower price, what they call "fashion-forward philanthropy."Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

On Ron's Amazing Stories this week, we're taking a trip through history — although perhaps not the kind you remember from school. We'll begin with the return of an old RAS segment, Not So Important Times in History. This time, we look at an international crisis that happened practically in my own backyard that nearly started a war between the United States and Great Britain. Then Suspense puts its own fictional spin on history with A Friend to Alexander, a strange tale involving dreams, Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton, and a famous duel. Finally, we climb aboard the old-time-radio time machine with You Are There. CBS reporters take us back to July 11th, 1804, to cover the Burr-Hamilton duel as though it were happening live. And somewhere along the way, we may even find out what happened to a pig. In This Episode • Not So Important Times in History: The Pig War — The strange 1859 incident that brought American and British forces face-to-face over the shooting of a pig. • Suspense: A Friend to Alexander — A man's dreams about Aaron Burr begin taking on some disturbingly familiar faces. Originally broadcast August 3rd, 1943. • You Are There: The Burr-Hamilton Duel — CBS turns one of America's most famous historical events into a live radio news report. Originally broadcast January 11th, 1948. Our surviving recording is incomplete. Featured Stories A Friend to Alexander from Suspense — August 3, 1943 History provides the inspiration for this unusual Suspense story about a man whose dreams carry him into the world of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. But when the people in those dreams begin resembling people from his own life, history and reality start getting a little too close for comfort. The Burr-Hamilton Duel from You Are There — January 11, 1948 You Are There had a wonderful idea: take CBS radio reporters and send them into the past to cover history as breaking news. This time the microphones are waiting in Weehawken, New Jersey, as Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr prepare for their famous duel.

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we explore Keith Lowe's *Prisoners of History* and the contested world of memorialisation – focusing on one of the strangest and most controversial memorial sites in Europe.Monuments occupy public space, and they impose meaning on it. Walk through any city and you'll find statues placed with particular agendas – to memorialise the past in certain ways, to place a particular interpretation on history. As a result, they are almost always contested. The recent removal of statues associated with the transatlantic slave trade, from Edward Colston in Bristol to Confederate monuments across the American South, provoked a furious reaction from the right, who framed it as a free speech issue. What they were really defending was the right of white supremacy to own and occupy public space.Keith Lowe argues that there is no escaping the monsters of our past. We can try to ignore them, rehabilitate them, or annihilate them – but their absence becomes its own kind of presence. There is only one final course open to us: ridicule.This brings us to Grūtas Park in Lithuania – a sculpture park displaying the statues of Stalin, Lenin, and other Soviet figures that were torn down after independence in 1990. Lithuania's 20th century was one of repeated invasion, occupation, and mass deportation. Around 300,000 Lithuanians were sent to Soviet gulags in the 1940s and 50s. So when independence came, the statues were decapitated, blowtorched, and dynamited. The government then stored the best-known examples in warehouses – until a former wrestling champion and mushroom farmer named Viliumas Malinauskas offered to take them off their hands and build a park.His proposals were extraordinary: tourists arriving on cattle trucks, actors dressed as guards herding them onto trains, barbed wire, guard towers, the whole gulag experience. Critics called it a "Stalin theme park." Over a million people signed a petition against it. Former partisans and political prisoners accused Malinauskas of profiting from their misery.But the park opened anyway – and became a hit. What makes Grūtas Park so interesting, and so troubling, is that it creates a space that is completely ahistorical. It was built in the era of the "end of history," when we thought we could turn the past into a meaningless theme park.History didn't end.

What happens to faith when a nation gets comfortable? Bill and Travis sit down with Mark Oxer, author of This Is the Way, who moved his family to the Netherlands and discovered a hard truth: comfort doesn't strengthen faith — it drifts it. In this episode, Mark unpacks the difference between builders, maintainers, and squanderers, why every generation is one decision away from losing what the last one fought for, and why a father's faith is the single biggest predictor of whether his kids stay in the church. This one will challenge you to stop coasting and start building — in your home, your community, and wherever God has planted you. Wake Up. Gear Up. Come Alive.

If you've ever wondered what goes on in a fragrance trade fair, get ready for all the news as Suzy reviews this year's Pitti Fragranze in Florence. There are some some thrilling new launches and brands to get excited by, and she reveals some of the trends we can expect to see filtering their way through to the wider fragrance world over the coming months.In fact, firstly a storm stopped play as we arrived in Florence, with Suzy's plane stranded on the runway for three hours as lightning struck. Luckily the rest of the trip was exciting for all the right reasons!Suzy has been attending the Pitti Fragranze trade fair for thirteen years, and genuinely felt this was one of the best ever years. The overall vibe seemed to be a return to beauty - classical perfumery elements woven in new and intriguing ways, and with greater cultural diversity from brands showcasing their heritage and aromas they grew up with. We'll be focussing more in this aspect - as well as talking about the trends Suzy saw emerging this year - in next week's episode. But until then, enjoy this whistle-stop rundown of some of Suzy's highlights of the show this year…Suzy's top picks of the show (well SOME of them - there were a lot! We'll have to cover some more in future episodes and on our Patreon page).Beaufort London Sunken TobaccoImagine an ancient, lead-lined wooden box of tobacco—lost in a shipwreck and submerged beneath the sea. Centuries later, the wreck re-emerges and its precious cargo is rediscovered. Barnacled and salt-encrusted, the lid is levered off - within, tobacco lies preserved in shadow and silt.Exposed at last to the sun, the furled leaves begin to bloom: warm, dark, faintly honeyed. Salt crystals glitter on wave-lapped rocks as the tobacco is laid out upon sun-bleached driftwood, its leathery richness threaded with mineral air, smoke, tar and sea-spray.A buried treasure, reclaimed from the deep - not pristine, but made stranger and more compelling by its long immersion. Sunken Tobacco is the scent of faded maps and flooded holds - of a sailor's hoard brought blinking into daylight, still carrying the ocean in its grain.Four new Olfiction Lab Editions (coming soon!

Previously a Lecturer and Collegium Fellow at ETH Zurich, she led the first scientific expedition to decode the rare scents of Mount Olympus using pioneering non-destructive technology. Recognised as an MIT Innovator Under 35 Europe and TEDx speaker, she is redefining perfumery through the convergence of science, sustainability, and the timeless spirit of Greece.‘Born from the rare botanicals of Mount Olympus, OLYMRA transforms myth, memory, and wild nature into modern extrait de parfum.Grounded in earth, inspired by the divine.'Persephone‘Deep. Intimate. Transformative.OLYMRA PERSEPHONE is a fragrance of dual worlds: one of light, one of shadow. Inspired by the mythic queen who walks between both, it captures a moment of transformation: the instant spring yields to desire, and dusk begins to bloom.The fragrance opens with bergamot, pink pepper, and cardamom; bright, spiced notes that shimmer like sunlight across stone. At its heart, a lush pairing of Damask rose, Centifolia rose, and the OLYMRA plant accord, a precise reconstruction of rare mountain flora, unfurls with velvet intensity. Beneath, a deep base of cacao, tonka bean, beeswax, grey amber, and hyrax evokes warmth, earth, and skin; the lingering traces of a myth reborn.OLYMRA PERSEPHONE is not a fragrance of opposition, but of passage and evolution; from innocence to knowing, from surface to depth, from petal to flame. Crafted for those who carry both sunlight and shadow.She walks between worlds. Will you follow her into the dusk?'Kharon‘Dark. Sensual. Elemental.OLYMRA KHARON is a fragrance shaped by myth and memory. Inspired by Kharon, the ferryman of Hades, silent, unwavering, eternal, it is an olfactory passage through the darker recesses of the soul.The scent opens with sharp lemon, luminous neroli, and the spark of black pepper, evoking the moment just before surrender. At its heart, the complexity deepens: Damask rose and tobacco entwine with the OLYMRA Accord, a precise reconstruction of wild flora from Mount Olympus. In the base, smoked wood, beeswax, vetiver, sandalwood, and a bold note of hyrax create a dry, tactile finish; intimate yet vast, like breath inside stone.OLYMRA KHARON is not designed to please. It is designed to confront. To carry. To remain. A fragrance for those drawn not to light, but to truth; wherever it may lead.The river lays ahead... Are you ready to cross?'Laboratorio Olfattivo Bagage à main(translates as hand luggage in British English)‘Leather and Nutmeg; middle notes are Vetiver and Peru Balsam; base notes are Patchouli, Amber, Tonka Bean and Ambronova ™'Laboratorio Olfattivo Rose Me Twice(By Jean-Claude Ellena)‘With over 40,000 varieties, the rose is the flower whose fragrance has been most extensively explored by perfumers — an entire universe in which one can easily lose oneself among its infinite nuances. This exploration took a decisive turn in 1867, when the breeder Jean-Baptiste Guillot created ‘La France', the first hybrid tea rose.With this innovation, Guillot introduced not merely a new flower, but an olfactory signature that would shape perfumery forever. Today, whenever I perceive a tea note within a rose, I immediately recognize its lineage from that historic hybridization. The secret of this aroma lies in a specific molecule: ionone — used to recreate the scent of violet, but also a key component in the olfactory impression of tea.'Heeley ChirisHistoric French house revered and revived by James Heeley in this INCREDIBLE leather / iris / Chypre fragrance.‘The fragrance house of Antoine Chiris dates back to 1768 and is considered to be the first and perhaps the greatest of the enterprises that made a business of harvesting natural materials and turning them into the raw materials of perfumery and, at times, creating the perfumes themselves.Antoine de Chiris was born into a wealthy family of Italian origin. In Grasse he began buying up fields which produced flowers which were converted into perfumery materials. Chiris held early patents on a steam distillation process capable of producing significant amounts of high quality oil at an economic cost. This technology helped made Grasse the international focus of perfumery for over a century and a half.'History from https://www.perfumeprojects.com/museum/marketers/Chiris.shtmlThe fragrance: ‘Chiris by James Heeley is an iris and leather fragrance created by James Heeley and launched in 2026. It pays tribute to Chiris, the historic perfume-materials producer founded in Grasse in 1768, and to the Iris Pallida it cultivated in Tuscany. Osmanthus, citrus and peach open the composition, followed by Iris Pallida and olibanum over a base of leather, cedar, sandalwood and amber.'Lorenzo Villoresi Vol D'AbarisThe nose behind this fragrance is Alessandro Villoresi. The fragrance features Tobacco, Amber, Vanilla, Musk and Woody Notes.

This week, our favorite forensic anthropologist Ryan Seidemann joins us to discuss his Ordinary Extraordinary role in one of the first repatriations of its kind in the United States.In 1871-1872, nineteen men and women of African descent died at New Orleans' Charity Hospital. What happened next should never have happened. Their remains were removed and sent to Germany, where they became part of a collection built for racially biased phrenology research.In 2023, Leipzig University contacted the City of New Orleans to initiate repatriation. On May 15, 2025, the ancestors were carefully packed and flown home, and on May 31, 2025, Dillard University, the City of New Orleans, and community partners held a memorial service and traditional jazz funeral to lay them to rest.Join Jennie, Dianne and Ryan for this especially moving episode.To see the full event "Honoring the Nineteen", click here: https://www.dillard.edu/about/history-traditions/honoring-the-nineteen/Beyond the Grave 2026: Gothic Tragedies of the Gilded Age Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/beyond-the-grave-presents-gothic-tragedies-of-the-gilded-age-tickets-1997269261125?aff=oddtdtcreatorNeed an Ordinary Extraordinary Cemetery Podcast tee, hoodie or mug?

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Lee Knapp, author of the book I'm History ... but do I repeat myself? Lee Knapp is a lifelong Virginian and is steeped in its history. She grew up in Richmond, attended college at William and Mary in Colonial Williamsburg, and now lives in rural Louisa near Charlottesville. Lee spent her career as a high school history teacher, an entrepreneur and artist around all things ceramic, a copywriter and editor, a proprietor of a tourist home, sometimes called an Airbnb, and of course, an author. In my book review, I stated I'm History ... but do I repeat myself is a memoir by Lee Knapp. We follow Lee from a young girl to retirement and watch all the iterations in between. Along the way, we also see the change in Richmond, Virginia, her old alma mater, and the world at large. Lee tackles tough subjects. Is it okay to love and respect someone despite some of the things they believe? Do cultural differences really make people different? Can new versions of old things be as good as the the original? Are we making history or is history making us? This was an interesting story that looks not only at her own life, but weaves in historical context as well. No doubt, I would have enjoyed being in one of her history classes. If you like a good memoir that makes you think about your beliefs, then this is the book for you.
