KMOX alum and former ABC 30 reporter Paul Brown joins Amy Marxkors and Michael Kelley in-studio to discuss the legend of the Ferris Wheel at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. Brown set out to find the remnants of the Wheel while reporting for ABC 30 in 1999 and actually dug up part of the edge of Forest park in a live newscast. He says the show was the highest rated in the history of that station's newscasts. Did he end up finding the elusive axle to the Ferris Wheel? "I was Geraldo Rivera on Al Capone's vault," jokes Brown. (Photo Courtesy: Paul Brown)

The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. has faced unprecedented scrutiny and government interference since President Trump came to power. Now, its long cherished plans for a Smithsonian American Women's History Museum on the National Mall in D.C. have been dealt a blow because the US House of Representatives has struck down a bill to build the museum. Ben Luke talks to Elena Goukassian, The Art Newspaper's senior editor of museums and heritage in New York, about the partisan rift that led to failure of the bill, as well as other developments relating to the Smithsonian. As part of London Gallery Weekend, which begins on 5 June, the British artist Oliver Beer will show new paintings and related sound and video works in an exhibition, The Sky in the Cave, at Thaddaeus Ropac.

Among them was the singer songwriter Rufus Wainwright, and Ben speaks to Oliver and Rufus about their collaboration. And this episode's Work of the Week is Painting with Two Balls by Jasper Johns.

Nikki & Brie sit down with Frédérique Irwin, President and CEO of the National Women's History Museum, for a powerful conversation about the stories of women, the ones history made room for, and the many it didn't.

It is about legacy, visibility, truth, and the work of making sure women's history is no longer treated like a footnote, but recognized for what it is: foundational.

Photos can obscure as much as they reveal. When we encounter historic photographs, it can feel like we've entered the past through a portal. But like contemporary photographs, what is left out of the frame is as interesting and puzzling as what we can observe. Still, the donation of historic photos to any archive can only help to add to our knowledge and expand the questions we need to ask. This is certainly the case for the William Thomas Mullarky photo collection at the New Mexico History Museum's Palace of the Governors Photo Archive. The Mullarky collection has never been accessible until recently and they provide unusual and unexpected windows into 1930s Gallup, New Mexico.  For the Fall 2025 issue of El Palacio, University of New Mexico professor and labor historian, David Correia, wrote an article about the Gallup Coal Wars of 1933-35. Mullarky's photos of the events in Gallup at the time accompany Correia's words. For this episode of Encounter Culture, however, Correia talks about who Mullarky was and what makes his photos so out of the ordinary.
