Chris Boucher is the author of the new book, “Harry “Bucky” Lew: A Biography of Basketball's First Black Professional” The book tells the story of how Harry “Bucky” Lew leapt over pro basketball's color wall in 1902 and continued to integrate every single role in the game over the next 25 years. He was the first Black player, coach, manager, referee, and franchise owner in otherwise white leagues. His accomplishments were well documented in the newspapers of his day, but he has largely been forgotten, despite his assist to the Dodgers in finding a home for their first Black players in the United States and the full integration of all major league sports that soon followed.Chris is a lifelong basketball fan and resident of Lowell, Massachusetts and hadn't heard of Bucky Lew until he started researching the history of basketball in Lowell. He was shocked to learn all that Lew had accomplished and now hopes to get him his proper due.On this episode Mike & Chris discuss the remarkable life of Harry “Bucky” Lew, the first black professional basketball player. Lew's significant contributions to the sport include breaking color barriers as a player, coach, manager, referee, and franchise owner within predominantly white leagues from 1902 onward. The discussion highlights the historical context of Lew's achievements, emphasizing his role in advancing racial integration in professional basketball and his pivotal influence on subsequent generations of athletes. Boucher articulates the challenges Lew faced, including racial discrimination and physical confrontations during games, shedding light on a largely forgotten yet crucial chapter in basketball history. As we explore Lew's legacy, we aim to bring greater awareness to his story and the profound impact he had on the evolution of the sport.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @hoopheadspod for the latest updates on episodes, guests, and events from the Hoop Heads Pod.Make sure you're subscribed to the Hoop Heads Pod on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts and while you're there please leave us a 5 star rating and review.

What's up, dudes? A LOST EPISODE has been found! The Christmas Cousins, Chad and Seth, are here (back in August of '24) to talk the 1986 special "Santabear's First Christmas!" This "Reading Rainbow"-like special is narrated by Kelly McGillis and composed by Michael Hedges. In fact, it's based on a book by Barbara Read and adapted by Thomas Roberts.When a young snowbear is separated from his parents, he's adopted by a young girl named Marie. Marie and her grandfather teach the bear to read, speak, and bake cookies. Unfortunately, the girl's grandfather falls ill, and the firewood runs low. The snowbear ventures out to collect firewood.Subsequently, he falls in a snow drift and is trapped. A moose rescues him and takes him to some beavers, but they are all out of wood. Luckily, Santa shows up, gives the bear a saw and a sled, and the bear delivers the wood to the girl. Santa Claus appoints the young bear as his helper in delivering toys to the animals in the forest, and he becomes known as Santabear. Oh, and he's reunited with his family.Friendly young girl? Check. Barbarian Santa? Yep. Unhygienic kitchen? Probably, if a bear is baking cookies. So grab your saw, cut down some firewood, and train a bear to listen to this episode on "Santabear's First Christmas!"Christmas CousinsFB: @ChristmasCousinsPodTwitter: @XmasCousinsPodIG: @christmascousinspodGive us a buzz!

In this episode, Jed welcomes author James Ponti to talk about Europa, book seven in his bestselling City Spies series. James shares the irresistible premise: a British secret agent known as Mother adopts kids from around the world—each with a special talent and a code name based on their home city—and raises them as a family of spies. In Europa, explosives expert Sydney returns to the spotlight as the main character, caught between questions of trust and a terrifying villainous group called Umbra, whose leader is trying to hold Europe hostage from prison. James explains the challenge and joy of juggling six beloved kid characters so every reader's favorite gets enough time "on the page," while also keeping each book fresh and non-formulaic. Then the conversation turns deeply personal: James reveals how his own unconventional family story—including discovering, in his 50s, that his father had multiple other families and secret siblings—shaped the emotional core of City Spies. Beneath the gadgets and missions, he says, these books are really about what it means to be a family, chosen or otherwise, and writing from "the part of your heart that hurts." In the final segment, Jed talks with Tim Wright about Toby Baxter: Riverhome for the Holidays. Tim shares how his fantasy adventure explores joy, wisdom, and vision for middle grade readers, and how stories can help kids dream bigger, resist the pull of social media, and imagine a hopeful future for themselves.

Family events and holidays can feel heavier when you're showing up solo. The questions. The assumptions. The empty chair no one knows how to talk about. Even well-meaning gatherings can stir grief, fatigue, or a quiet sense of not quite belonging. On this episode of Military Mom Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck speaks honestly about navigating family events and holidays on your own—without shrinking, overexplaining, or pretending it doesn't affect you. This conversation explores how to manage expectations, set boundaries without drama, and decide what participation actually looks like for you now. This episode isn't about powering through discomfort or opting out entirely. It's about choice—choosing when to engage, when to step back, and how to protect your emotional energy while still honoring what matters to you. You don't need a partner or a perfect story to take up space. You get to show up as you are—and that's enough.
