Podcasts about Homelands

Interview by Kris PetersChasing Ghosts have traversed a multitude of styles and genres over the course of their career, ranging from solo material to punk fuelled anthems to their current blending of indie rock and punk, but the one thing that has remained consistent with all of their work is the bands unflinching search for understanding and resolution, particularly in matters pertaining to Indigenous people and their culture.Frontman Jimmy Kyle - a Thungutti man who has emerged as one of Australia's most important voices in recent years - openly wears his heart through his lyrics, verbalizing topics and situations that are generally shied away from or pushed aside by most bands and musicians. Since the release of Chasing Ghosts' debut album Confessions From A Phone Booth in 2011, Kyle has successfully and poignantly married introspection with boldness as his stories confront, deconstruct and illuminate the challenging realities of being an Indigenous Australian; while also championing human persistence, the ability to overcome, and the recognition of beauty in even the most flawed.The bands new album, Therapy, which is released on May 16, further highlights the thoughts and feelings of Chasing Ghosts, tackling issues from domestic abuse to the mental health crisis in a confronting yet sensible way which only accentuates the strength of character and conviction that has strengthened the band and their music over the years.HEAVY sat down with Kyle to discuss Therapy in greater detail."I think it's definitely a lot more upbeat," he replied when asked to describe Therapy musically. "As you know, the Chasing Ghosts story is, I guess, acoustic punk troubadour leaves hardcore music and goes solo (laughs). It has come full circle where this is a heavier record. It's sonically a lot more polished than and bigger than anything we've done before. And the songs felt like the next progression coming out of Homeland; the next progression was kind of like, where can this go?""We had done a real lo-fi, very Melbourne sounding mix for Homelands, and then Therapy is a very produced - very shiny is the word that I tend to use - kind of polished record. And it was a real pleasure to do something different because I'd always had a history in recording the earlier records in the analogue way. So now have we not only moved into the digital realm, finally, but we've moved into it sort of with no rules, just leaning right into a modern process, and so we could give some contrast and personality difference between the other releases."In the full interview, Jimmy provided an overview of Therapy, describing it as a significant evolution in their sound. He discussed the themes of the album, which stem from his personal journey through therapy, addressing issues such as insomnia and domestic violence, and aimed at fostering understanding among listeners. The conversation also included details about the Therapy Australia tour, scheduled from June 6 to June 14, featuring a mix of classic songs and new tracks.We also discussed the meanings behind some of the songs and their significance to modern society, whether he feels people are starting to accept his messages, how Therapy represents the next chapter for Chasing Ghosts and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Under Narendra Modi, India has changed dramatically. As the world attempts to grapple with its trajectory towards authoritarianism and a 'Hindu Rashtra' (Hindu State), little attention has been paid to the linkages between Modi's India and the governments from which it has drawn inspiration, as well as military and technical support. India once called Zionism racism, but, as Azad Essa argues, the state of Israel has increasingly become a cornerstone of India's foreign policy. Looking to replicate the 'ethnic state' in the image of Israel in policy and practice, the annexation of Kashmir increasingly resembles Israel's settler-colonial project of the occupied West Bank. The ideological and political linkages between the two states are alarming; their brands of ethnonationalism deeply intertwined. Hostile Homelands: The New Alliance Between India and Israel (Pluto Press, 2023) puts India's relationship with Israel in its historical context, looking at the origins of Zionism and Hindutva; India's changing position on Palestine; and the countries' growing military-industrial relationship from the 1990s. Lucid and persuasive, Essa demonstrates that the India-Israel alliance spells significant consequences for democracy, the rule of law and justice worldwide. Azad Essa is an award-winning journalist and author based between Johannesburg and New York City. He is currently a senior reporter for Middle East Eye covering American foreign policy, Islamophobia and race in the US. He is the author of The Moslems are Coming and Zuma's Bastard and has written for Al Jazeera, The Washington Post, Foreign Policy and the Guardian.

Shabbat Lech Lecha 2024: On Home and Homelands by Rabbi Aaron Flanzraich

For a lot of Americans, geography is just a middle school subject or a trivia night category at their neighborhood bar. But for Professor Kendra McSweeney, the “invisible field” of geography is a way to understand the relationship between people and their environment, from adaptation to climate change to how the drug trade impacts biodiverse forests in Colombia. In this episode, McSweeney highlights how her dynamic career as an academic has taken her from Canada to eastern Honduras, and talks about the thought process behind lectures such as “Viewing Political Ecology Through the Lens of the Tree of Heaven,” an enlightening take on the so-called invasive tree that is providing crucial shade in neighborhoods in the US.

In this episode of Power of Place, you'll hear the stories of Glen Pinkham, an enrolled member of the Yakama Nation and a respected elder and cultural mentor. Glen explores connections between tradition, healing, and the land, offering wisdom for anyone seeking growth and connection. Through Glen's captivating storytelling, we journey to the Yakima Valley, the ancestral homeland of the Yakama Nation—where rivers teemed with salmon and skies filled with migratory birds. His reflections on his application of traditional healing practices—including sweat lodges—located within urban settings reveal how these rituals continue to sustain both body and spirit, even across cultural lines. Building on his work in South Central Washington, Glen supports Seattle's urban Indigenous communities through organizations like Mother Nation, where he works alongside his wife, Yvette, as well as Chief Seattle Club. Amidst the bustle of city life, Glen's teachings, grounded in Yakama traditions and landscapes, offer glimpses of rare and powerful medicine for the body and spirit. Tune in to this episode to experience surprising healing and insight. “When we say you share your personal trauma and your pain with another person, your sadness with another person, it turns it upside down as it turns into medicine. It helps them to heal.” ~Glen Pinkham

In today's modern, sanitised music world, far too many bands are reluctant to state their beliefs and opinions for the sole fact that they could possibly offend someone. It is a fair point in principle, but has been taken too far in most instances, forcing musicians to temper their thoughts somewhat in an attempt to appeal to as wide a potential market as they can.So it is refreshing that some bands out there continue to speak out for their beliefs and use their music as a weapon of choice in bringing such things to the attention of others.Naarm based outfit Chasing Ghosts are one of those bands.Fronted by proud Thungutti Country Indigenous songwriter Jimmy Kyle, Chasing Ghosts have consistently spread their viewpoints and history by verse, in the process providing a voice for many who have not - or could not - speak through their own.After releasing their critically acclaimed EP Homelands in 2021, Chasing Ghosts have remained relatively quiet since, quietly working their way through fresh material and another assault on the Australian music scene. That arrived recently with the single Amnesia Everybody, a song that shines the spotlight on the ignorance of Australia's historic treatment of its First Peoples.With a three date tour in October and more new music in the works Jimmy sat down with HEAVY to discuss the new single and more."Great," he enthused when asked about the early response to Amnesia Everybody. "I think it's overwhelmingly good and has reinvigorated the fan base after a couple of years since our previous release Homelands which did really well. This ones taken a little bit longer moving between record labels because sometimes that can take a little longer than we'd like. We've been waiting for about 12 months to release this stuff, which has given us an opportunity to write for a future record in the interim, but it's relieving and satisfying to be able to share this with people now."In the full interview, Jimmy discussed their new single Amnesia Everybody and shared that the song has a high energy, polished sound, which is a departure from their previous lo-fi style. He mentioned that they have embraced contemporary recording techniques, which has resulted in a more luxurious sound. He also highlighted the need for awareness and understanding of Australia's history, particularly regarding race relations and the treatment of Aboriginal people.Jimmy also discussed his experiences as an Aboriginal man and how his background influences his songwriting. He emphasized the importance of speaking truth to power and criticized the glorification of historical figures who committed atrocities against Aboriginal people. He also expressed his desire for a more honest and mature approach to Australia's history and its impact on the country's identity.We discussed the upcoming cycle Chasing Ghost's new album, which will be more energetic and a return to their punk rock roots. Jimmy discussed the evolution of the band's music project from acoustic folk to full-on punk rock, with the aim to challenge themselves to write something broader and bigger. Additionally, we talked about Chasing Ghost's upcoming tour, which Jimmy described as a fun, rowdy experience with opportunities for sing-alongs and head banging. The tour is set to start in Brisbane on October 10th, followed by Sydney and MelbourneBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

This week Seth and Bill welcome back good buddy Jon Parshall to talk about the first American carrier raids on the Japanese Home Islands since the Doolittle Raid in April 1942. In February 1945, just before Iwo Jima, Task Force 58 under the command of Marc Mitscher sails to within 60 miles of Honshu to launch the first US Navy carrier raids against Tokyo. Fighting the Japanese as well as terrible weather, the results are less than spectacular. A month later Spruance and Mitscher return, this time to Kyushu, to hit the birthing grounds of the kamikazes. In the two-day fight, American pilots ravage Japanese installations, but the fleet takes a beating in return, with 6 carriers suffering damage. Tune in to hear this oft-forgotten series of strikes in the latter stages of the war in the Pacific.

Dr. Aviad Moreno is himself an incarnation of entwined homelands. He is an Israeli whose grandfather moved from Morocco to Venezuela, sent his son back to Morocco to study. The family hailed from Spain before the Exile in 1492 only to maintain much of the Spanish language and character. These migrations create a unique diaspora for the Jews of northern Morocco, one that is Hispanophone and yet extremely connected to their Jewish roots. Thus is created these diasporas who have developed strong and growing heritage. Dr. Moreno is a scholar on migrations and this focus on this small community has the complexity of much larger diasporas. His new book is Entwined Homelands, Empowered Diasporas: Hispanic Moroccan Jews and Their Globalizing Community (Indiana UP, 2024). At Jewish Unity Through Diversity we often discuss the lost worlds of various Jewish diasporas and the yearnings for homelands. Northern Moroccan Jews have multiple homelands and have returned to those homelands as well - a unique character. This is a Spanish Moroccan Jewish strong community back in Morocco, in Israel, and in Spain today. They are a small unique community that is even today growing their heritage.  Follow us on www.unitytdiversity.com, FB Jewish Unity Through Diversity, Instagram, and YouTube.

In this episode of "In the Key of Q," host Dan Hall interviews the talented queer musician Roderick Woodruff. Roderick, a Brooklyn-based singer with roots in Detroit, shares his journey of self-discovery and artistic expression. He recounts his childhood in a musical, church-going family in Detroit, his experiences of homophobia, and his eventual rejection of the music world after a confrontation with a high school music teacher. This rejection led him to acting, and later, to embracing his identity as a queer artist, channeling his experiences into his music and plays, including his off-Broadway show "A Boy's Room."Roderick discusses his latest album "The In-Between," which was inspired by his experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, a breakup, and his personal growth. He also touches on the significance of queer spaces and the empowerment found in embracing one's identity against societal norms. The episode wraps up with Roderick recommending "Have You Lost Your Mind" as an introductory song to his music, highlighting its deep personal relevance and catchy nature.Roderick on Instagram‎Roderick Woodruff - Apple MusicRoderick Woodruff | SpotifyIn the Key of Q is a weekly podcast featuring inspiring Queer musicians from around the world as they share stories, inspirations and of course their music.Theme tune is by Paul Leonidou and many thanks to Moray for his continued support.The podcast can be reached on email with the main website here.

What do Tulsa, Santa Fe, and New Orleans have in common? When viewed from the perspective of Indigenous arts and culture, the answer is quite a bit. In Urban Homelands: Writing the Native City from Oklahoma (U Nebraska, 2023), Oklahoma State University professor of English Lindsey Claire Smith draws connections between Indigenous art, particularly writing, and these two cities to the east and west. By focusing on mobility between urban Native spaces, Smith shows how the vibrant arts scene in Tulsa has influenced artists in Indigenous homelands far removed from Oklahoma. By telling stories through fiction, visual art, and other media, Native artists claim these cities as urban homelands, linking together disparate places through the shared link of Indigeneity.  Dr. Stephen R.

For people who visit or call Grand Canyon National Park home, the water issues mainly come around moving water up to the rim where the homes, hotels, and other businesses sit. But, head downstream to one of the most remote tribal nations in America, and the water issues are very different. The Havasupai people's land sits in the canyon, surrounded on all sides by the park. They're not worried about pumping the water up. Their worries are about what trickles down. Upstream from them sits an area where uranium mining was once plentiful. And that atomic-age history is causing concerns about water quality.

They say there's No Plane Like Home (well, we do) but what about the one known as the Homelands? That's right, we're taking a look at Ulgrotha, that place where Baron Sengir hangs out!

Nation states no longer work effectively in tandem. Gone are the days of hegemonic US power directly ordering the allies. Furthermore, groups like the UN are ineffective, with disruptors often calling the shots. However, NATO stands apart as an example of how countries can work together successfully and how a global institution can remain largely uncontroversial, while doing serious coordinating work to solve real world problems.    In this episode our hosts and guests relate their perspectives about what NATO stands for, its strengths and limitations, and the threats it faces. Former NATO Deputy Sec General, Jamie Shea tells about how the organisation worked in the Balkans and Afghanistan, while Kori Schake mulls over the role of the US as NATO's hegemonic leader. Timothy Garton Ash comments on distinctions between NATO and the EU especially as pertains to values like liberty. Finally, Charles Kupchan examines why Russia chooses to actively disorder. Charles and Jason disagree agreeable on China's role as an orderer vs. disorderer.     Twitter: @DisorderShow  Website: https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/nato-and-adversaries     Producer: George McDonagh  Exec Producer: Neil Fearn    Show Notes Links    For more on Kori Schake, visit here   For more on Jamie Shea, visit here    Get Timothy Garton Ash's book, Homelands here   For more on Charles Kupchan, visit here Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode we hear from artist Natalie Ball who dives right in sharing critical artworld survival insight gleaned from a life changing studio visit by artist Willie T. Williams while she was attending Yale School of Art. Among a long list of support tactics Willie imparted, the artist emplored Natalie to find a means to sustain a studio practice beyond sales, and as an artist, to always be in control of your work and process. Natalie also shares vulnerable truths from her experience as a Black Indigenous artist navigating both the Native artworld and the larger contemporary artworld. We chat about higher education and how it has been as a pathway of respite as Natalie navigated motherhood from a young age. We talk about the journey Natalie experienced having a child with a chronic illness and how she took a 5 year hiatus from art, stepping into a focused world of love and care for family back home on her territory. We talk about this current moment in time for Natalie - unpacking the need for administrative support in order to create the time to make the work and how art school does not always provide the tangible insight on how an artist can build this support into their career. Material and place informs Natalie's work most - from her studio practice to motherhood to work on her territory - everything is connected. She uplifts play and joy as critical components to her practice, noting the courage and intention it takes to create this response to a harsh world. Through her work and life, Natalie asserts that art is power and holds the ability to transform our way of thinking. In her practice she boldly asks her audience to open their hearts and minds to new ways of seeing, presenting a call to “Come with me!”. Natalie Ball was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. She has a Bachelor's degree with a double major in Indigenous, Race & Ethnic Studies & Art from the University of Oregon. She furthered her education in Aotearoa (NZ) at Massey University where she attained her Master's degree with a focus on Indigenous contemporary art. Ball then relocated to her ancestral Homelands in Southern Oregon/Northern California to raise her three children. In 2018, Natalie earned her M.F.A. degree in Painting & Printmaking at Yale School of Art. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally. She is the recipient of the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation's Oregon Native Arts Fellowship 2021, the Ford Family Foundation's Hallie Ford Foundation Fellow 2020, the Joan Mitchell Painters & Sculptors Grant 2020, Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant 2019, and the Seattle Art Museum's Betty Bowen Award 2018. Natalie Ball is now an elected official serving on the Klamath Tribes Tribal Council.
