Podcasts about Huck

Mark Twain's Jim, introduced in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), is a shrewd, self‑aware, and enormously admirable enslaved man, one of the first fully drawn Black fathers in American fiction. Haunted by the family he has left behind, Jim acts as father figure to Huck, the white boy who is his companion as they raft the Mississippi toward freedom. Jim is also a highly polarizing figure: he is viewed as an emblem both of Twain's alleged racism and of his opposition to racism; a diminished character inflected by minstrelsy and a powerful challenge to minstrel stereotypes; a reason for banning Huckleberry Finn and a reason for teaching it; an embarrassment and a source of pride for Black readers.In Jim: The Life and Afterlives of Huckleberry Finn's Comrade (Yale UP, 2025) eminent Twain scholar Shelley Fisher Fishkin probes these controversies, exploring who Jim was, how Twain portrayed him, and how the world has responded to him. Fishkin also follows Jim's many afterlives: in film, from Hollywood to the Soviet Union; in translation around the world; and in American high school classrooms today. The result is Jim as we have never seen him before—a fresh and compelling portrait of one of the most memorable Black characters in American fiction. Shelley Fisher Fishkin is the Joseph S. Atha Professor of Humanities, professor of English, and professor (by courtesy) of African and African American Studies at Stanford University. She is the author or editor of many books, including Writing America: Literary Landmarks from Walden Pond to Wounded Knee and Was Huck Black?

In this episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum is joined by Caroline McCollum and Huck McCollum to talk about the case involving three horses who were stabbed during a barrel racing event at South Point Casino in Las Vegas. Caroline, a longtime horse rider and criminology student, shares her perspective on what it means to compete with and care for these animals, and how the open, trusting culture of barn life can become a vulnerability. Huck, a juvenile court intake officer and former public defender investigator, explains how a case like this may move through the justice system, including mental health evaluations, prior behavior, and the role social media could play. Together, they look at the trauma this leaves on both riders and horses, the security gaps it exposes, and why animal cruelty cases raise concerns about future violence.

This week we take a look at two novels that were on last year's reading list. Why are we revisiting them? Because we only read a couple of chapters of each one, and that wasn't enough!First up, Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I shared last year that this was one I only had bad memories of from high school, but rediscovering it as an adult was a real treat. In particular, we talk about:The centrality of Huck's relationship with Jim, and how Huck grows and changesTwain's remarkable use of vernacularThe vivid locations and their relationship to Twain's earlier writingFinally, we get into the details of the ending—it's fairly controversial. Did Twain rush the ending or did he mean it as a warning on the nature of change?Then we move on to Gabriel Garcia-Marquez' One Hundred Years of Solitude. This is a beautiful book, not for everyone but certainly a great book. We discuss:Generational novels, and how the structure cyclical patterns and repeated names creates a dreamlike mood for this novelHow the magical realism here emerges as a natural part of the environment and not through any apparent supernatural activityVarious tensions, like isolation and connection, or ephemerality and stability, that are at work both in the family and the town of Macondo.Whether the town of Macondo is itself the main character of the novel.Finally, we end with a couple of things I've learned lately that are improving my reading. First, I've started to recognize that writing a little about each book helps me to resolve what I think about that book. Second, great (and even good) books tend to illuminate each other, making your world bigger, while less worthy books tend to run together. Another argument for great books!LINKThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rCONNECTTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/Like what you heard?

Send us Fan MailThe World Cup is almost here, and my life is about to get loud in the best way: I'm heading to seven matches with FIFA and TikTok as a Creator Correspondent, with access that changes what I can share and where I can share it. That excitement is real, but so is the deeper reason I care about this tournament. When the US Men's National Team takes the field, you see a diverse group that reminds us what it looks like to pull in the same direction, even when the country feels split apart. We also sit with a story that is hard to shake: a Somali FIFA referee, after years of screening and international travel, reportedly lands in Miami and is denied entry for “vetting concerns.” We talk about what that decision costs on a human level, what it suggests about travel bans and bias, and why judging people as individuals matters. For anyone who loves soccer, refereeing, and the integrity of global sport, it's a moment worth examining out loud. Then we get tactical with Huck Sorock from Refer Sports about the biggest hidden problem in youth sports and amateur soccer: referee assigning. We dig into what modern referee assigning software should actually do, from paying officials faster to reducing admin chaos during massive tournaments. We talk AI schedule imports, agentic AI as a productivity multiplier, building an in-app community for training and support, and why retention improves when assigners can spend less time on spreadsheets and more time mentoring refs. If you care about sports officiating, referee retention, and smarter assigning systems, this one is for you. Subscribe for more, share this with an assigner or official who needs better tools, and leave a review so more referees can find the show.Support the show

In this episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, originally broadcast in December 2023, I had the pleasure of interviewing my amazing client, Alecia Huck. Alecia is the founder and CEO of MAVERICK & Company, a management consulting firm that specialises in working with the leadership teams of fast-growing companies. Alecia shared her inspiring business journey and the valuable insights she has gained along the way. We also discussed the importance of valuing the work we do over the amount of time we spend doing it, shifting from a time-based approach to a value-based approach to work less while achieving even greater results. As women entrepreneurs, Alecia and I also delved into the unique challenges we face in the business world. We discussed the importance of letting go of control and embracing collaboration, as well as the need for self-acceptance and gratitude in our professional relationships. Alecia's story is truly inspiring, and her insights are invaluable for anyone looking to grow their consulting business. In This Episode: [00:00:48] Jessica and Alecia discuss how they first met and decided to work together after a serendipitous LinkedIn post. [00:04:15] Alecia shares the journey of her business, from starting as an entrepreneur with no experience to finding her niche in working with leadership teams in fast-growing companies. [00:07:29] Working less and earning more, and the importance of shifting focus from time-based to value-based work. [00:12:43] The difficulties of breaking free from old narratives and habits that prioritise overworking. [00:16:13] Relying on others and allowing them to make decisions for the business or brand. [00:18:58] The need to let go of control, loosen up, and take action without striving for perfection. [00:21:37] The reality of entrepreneurship and how it often involves unexpected challenges and growth opportunities. [00:23:21] Big wins and personal growth. [00:26:07] The limitations of working more and the impact of self-acceptance on one's effectiveness. [00:29:27] Breaking out of old paradigms to achieve new results and make a difference in the lives of others. Key Takeaways:  As consultants and coaches, the work we do can have a significant impact on businesses beyond just finances, such as employee happiness and team dynamics. Many business owners who have grown their companies organically end up feeling overwhelmed and trapped by their success. Alecia and I both advocate for a shift in mindset from being a freelancer who tracks time to being an expert who focuses on delivering value. As women entrepreneurs, we often rely on ourselves too much and find it difficult to allow others to help and make decisions about our business. It's important to let go and allow others to contribute - We don't need to control everything! Find a balance between working less and earning more. Pushing too hard can lead to burnout and limit growth. True brilliance comes from self-acceptance and being comfortable with yourself. Quotes: "We mix up time and value, right? Because time is really easy to quantify and value can be hard to quantify. And what I think is really great is that if you actually make this shift from valuing your time and talking about things in terms of time and focusing on how long you work… if you shift over to thinking about the value you produce, I think that's better for your clients." - Alecia Huck "I call them your snakes in your brain, the voice that's kind of negative, right? It's a little distracting. And you do something really great and it goes, 'oh, you're just a spotlight hog'. We all have snakes in the brain, and some of us have snakes informed by trauma and really, you know, intense things in our past and that can make them nastier and more subtle. But, this year was a year where I worked probably less than I ever had.

This week, the boys get all Tom & Huck and head to the Mississippi River to discuss Jeff Nichols' “Mud”. The random year generator spun 2013, and we decided to follow up our recent “Take Shelter” episode to see how Nichols handled the McConaissance. What we didn't expect was finding some of the best youth performances ever by Tye Sheridan and Jacob Lofland in a Stand-By-Me-Meets-Huckleberry-Finn narrative. We were a little split on our overall takeaways, but boy did we appreciate the journey.  linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!  Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

Show Notes 0:00: Another episode of Justin and Helen discussing everything they’ve been up to over the past few weeks, which may include a musical and some J-Novel Club reads along the way. The two hosts also get into a bit of nostalgia for no real reason… News 17:30: Last episode, the news of Media Do acquiring Seven Seas just happened like roughly an hour or two before the two hosts started recording. It’s been two weeks, which means more information has come forth, including Media Do and Seven Seas having to make assurances that AI will not be used in any future works moving forward…let’s just say the hosts have some concerns! 27:55: The victim in the Shoichi Yamamoto/Shogakukan scandal released a statement on the entire situation, and that means Justin and Helen have more thoughts on how the company’s handling the situation and how well they can honor the victim’s request while also ensuring their culture will change moving forward. But let’s just say the hosts have worries about how they’ll handle it, considering their history. 37:32: Helen talks about a number of plaintiffs filing a consumer digital privacy class action complaint against Crunchyroll, which alleges that Crunchyroll violated the Video Privacy Protection Act. For her, the timing could not have been any more interesting; Justin meanwhile goes over Dark Horse essentially letting their Founder and CEO Mike Richardson go and what this means for the publisher moving forward. 42:36: RuriDragon will be on hiatus until late April; The Detective is Already Dead Season 2 will not air in the summer, it has been pushed to the Fall season; And I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand will also be delayed, it’s now planned to air in the summer. 43:48: Chitose in the Ramune Bottle will return following it’s production issues in the Fall season; Tomato Soup is back following maternity leave, which means A Witch Life in Mongol will return next week; and we unfortunately will say goodbye to another Japanese manga magazine, as Mag Garden has ceased publication, and with their comment on why the magazine’s ending, Justin wonders if the manga market shrinking has played a big role. 48:13: Voice actress Yukie Maeda has passed away due to her health; voice actress Masako Ikeda died on March 3 from a cerebral hemorrhage; and Kyoto Animation announced that its president and co-founder Hideaki Hatta died on February 16 — the hosts go over the loss of each of these talents and people, and wish sincere condolences to their family and friends. Licenses 52:57: Titan Manga announced exclusively on ANN that they’ve licensed the following manga for release in 2026: Tomonori Inoue’s Huck the Air Pirate and the Princess of Steam and Shinachiku’s The Regalia of the Underdog; We will see another H.P. Lovecraft novel adapted by Gou Tanabe published by Dark Horse, this one coming in September; and Mad Cave Studios’ imprint Nakama Press, in partnership with Tatsunoko Production, announced on Friday that it will release the first volume of its Casshan manga by writer Mario B. Long and Kusanagi on September 15. 54:41: Justin and Helen brought up DMP/DMG while talking about Blupetal, who just launched a Kickstarter for Sakura Kurihara’s Let Me Fix You last week (and it has already reached its goal); Japan-based indie publisher Red String announced at CitrusCon that they've licensed Yoshika Komatsu's The Elf Husband and Dwarf Wife (will exclusively be on Omoi on March 22) and Arakata's Funny Bone; The newest Crossed Hearts title has been announced and it'll be going for their Glam Beat (Yuri) line — Mei Fujimatsu’s Time is a Closet; And we got more Siren audiobooks incoming — 3 of them! 58:19: With Manga Planet closing March 31, we finally know where some of the titles will go — Renta! They’ve announced a special transfer program that will allow Manga Planet users access to chapters/volumes purchased on the service, so happy that some of the titles (they won’t be able to bring them all) will exist in some way, this time on Renta!. Streaming News 59:15: Justin and Helen go into Amazon raising their ad-tier prices for reasons, but hard to say if the reasons are good; Prime has added the Lupin the IIIrd: Zenigata and the Two Lupins net anime to their service. 1:01:18: Helen is now wondering about Justin’s tastes following his enthusiastic announcement of a show he has never watched (Queen’s Blade: Vanquished Queens) that is now available on Oceanveil; If you’re not into 18+ stuff, Oceanveil will also add the Black Jack OVA with an English dub to their service. 1:03:00: More 4K Ghibli is happening in theaters, so be on the lookout for a few of their heralded films in the spring; ODK Media’s North American streaming platform Amasian TV began streaming the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood anime with the English dub in the United States and Canada…Justin wonders if this can actually be a streaming service to look out for in the future. 1:04:33: DOROHEDORO Season 2, despite it airing in April, has taken a while for much news to come out. Not anymore! A trailer has come out for it, with also the news that in addition to Netflix it will also stream on Crunchyroll; Retrocrush has added a couple shows to their service, with Black Jack: The Complete OVA Series arriving on their service early next month. Weird News 1:06:32: Justin ends up reflecting on the origin of TheOASG Podcast, and how when Muse came up with doing this, no one could’ve expected Pokémon, The White House, and Nintendo to even be considered in the same sentence as a topic. But we have also that (and Yu-Gi-Oh! also!) in this section. In case you needed to know how weird the news can be. 1:10:24: Let’s just say The Evangelion short that was recently released by Khara had some issues, issues that eventually led the studio to release it themselves and for both Justin and Helen to ponder the meaning of media embargoes. 1:13:11: Yes, One Piece and Elmo is somehow a thing. No, not a lie, this crossover really happened thanks to Netflix; Writer Shirow Shiratori announced that his and illustrator Kippu’s No-Rin light novel series will return from its decade-long hiatus with its 14th and final volume on June 13; Hiromu Shinozuka topped it though, as Mirmo de Pon! New is the first entry in the Mirmo Zibang! in 21 years. The return of works after so long…never say final applies for these works! 1:15:35: And finally, somehow, some way, the live-action adaptation news of manga/anime franchise does not stop…and Samurai Champloo is the next one picked. Looking forward to it coming out in 2030! If there’s anything you’d like to share, please feel free to reach out to us on Twitter (@TheOASG) or comment below with your thoughts!

Jaymee didn't make this one, but we've got some real worldbuilding going on this week. Deepening the characters, the mysteries of spores and seas, not to mention the origins of Huck and the motivations of Captain Crow. Until now it's been a bit of a breakneck adventure story. We've slowed down long enough to learn some stuff about the world around us, and really that's some of my favorite parts. How about you?

Welcome to our deep dive into Mark Twain's literary masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In this discussion, we unravel the layers of comedy, satire, and profound social commentary that make this novel not only a cornerstone of American literature but also an enduring tale that resonates with readers today. We are joined by Dr Kerry Soper, a professor at Brigham Young University, who writes a humor column for Utah Life magazine, and has a deep appreciation for comedy in all kinds of art forms.  We reference the introduction to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the Penguin Random House UK printing edition, which was written by Peter Coveney in 1966. 1. Understanding Mark Twain:   Mark Twain, born Samuel LANGhorne Clemens (not Longhorne), was a complex figure who blended humor with serious social issues. His early life in Hannibal, Missouri, filled with adventure and mischief, heavily influenced his writing. Twain's pen name, meaning "two fathoms deep," reflects his ability to delve into deeper societal issues beneath a humorous exterior.   2. The Setting of Huckleberry Finn:   The novel is set along the Mississippi River, a backdrop that symbolizes freedom and adventure. Huck Finn, the protagonist, is an outsider, shaped by a turbulent family life, especially with his father being the town drunk. His decision to fake his own death to escape this life is a pivotal moment that sets the stage for his adventures with Jim, a runaway slave.   3. The Journey of Huck and Jim:   Huck and Jim's journey down the river is filled with comedic and dramatic encounters. Their friendship evolves through various trials, highlighting themes of friendship, loyalty, and the moral complexities surrounding slavery. The humor in their adventures often contrasts sharply with the serious issues they face, showcasing Twain's unique ability to blend comedy with critical social commentary.   4. The Role of Comedy and Satire:   Professor Kerry Soper emphasizes how Twain uses humor not just for entertainment but as a vehicle for satire. The comedic escapades of Huck and Jim serve to critique societal norms and racism. This stealth satire engages readers, making them laugh while prompting them to reflect on deeper moral truths.   5. Contrasting Characters:   The contrasting characters of Huck and Tom Sawyer further illustrate Twain's commentary on morality and heroism. While Tom embodies a romanticized view of adventure, Huck represents genuine moral integrity, often prioritizing Jim's humanity over societal expectations. This contrast enriches the narrative and invites readers to question the nature of heroism.   Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is more than just a story about a boy's adventures. It is a profound exploration of friendship, freedom, and the moral dilemmas that define humanity. The blend of humor and serious themes makes it a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers. As we reflect on Huck's journey, we are reminded of the importance of empathy and moral courage in our own lives. Key Takeaways:   1. The novel showcases Twain's mastery of blending humor with serious social issues.   2. Huck's character highlights the importance of personal integrity over societal norms.   3. The journey down the Mississippi River serves as a metaphor for freedom and self-discovery.  4. Twain's use of satire prompts readers to reflect on moral complexities in society.

Join host Jeff on Right On Radio Live (Feb 22, 2026) for an impromptu, interactive Sunday episode that weaves scripture, current events, and prophetic interpretation. The show opens with the fan-favorite game "Word on Word," comparing two Bible verses (1 Chronicles 16:11 and 1 John 4:18) and sets the spiritual tone before diving into heavy cultural and geopolitical topics. Jeff breaks down the viral Tucker Carlson interview with Mike Huckabee—offering live commentary on body language, the substance of the debate, and where both men fell short or scored points. He places the exchange in a broader historical and theological context, explaining why much of the public missed deeper implications about identity, Judaism, and Israel, and why the conversation matters to believers. The episode features an audio clip from Newsmax and references to public figures (Tucker Carlson, Mike Huckabee, Candace Owens) and contributors like John the researcher. Jeff connects the Huckabee/Carlson moment to larger threads: the Epstein files and elite corruption, ritual abuse allegations, the ongoing revelations about powerful networks, and how those disclosures intersect with planned "alien disclosure" narratives. Central to the discussion is Operation Stargate, AI-driven medical initiatives, and the prospect of an engineered "singularity" and one-world system. Jeff explores how these technological and esoteric developments—along with the potential externalization of a hierarchy of 'ascended masters'—could form a global deception and one-world religion, and he ties these concerns back to Matthew 24 and signs of the tribulation. What to expect: a candid, spirit-led mix of Bible reading, prophetic warning, geopolitical analysis, and listener interaction. Jeff challenges listeners to keep the big picture in view, warns about seductive global solutions, and calls Christians to stand firm in Christ, seek the Lord continually, and be rooted in scripture as cultural and spiritual storms intensify.

Huck's allergy flare-ups, Phoebe and Stanley's strict no-peeing-alone policy, and a full-blown Nextdoor rescue pile-on — the messy, hilarious reality of Dear Dog, with a sweet bright spot from Aloka, the peace walk's official pup.

Portland author David F. Walker and illustrator Marcus Kwame Anderson have worked together before - on a 2021 graphic novel about the Black Panther Party. This time they’ve teamed up on something a little different: an update of the classic American novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” In their version, the escaped slave Jim is more than just Huck’s companion; he’s a fully imagined character. Walker joined us on Dec. 2, 2024 to talk about the work of updating an American classic.  

On this week's Dear Dog, Phoebe has a “spaghetti” situation and Huck hands over a cockroach—directly. Ali and Betsy process the trauma, swap allergy intel, and prove that comedy really is the best disinfectant.

A runaway terrier, a surprise dog return five years later, and Ali & Betsy's collective rage over extenda-leashes fuel this episode's urgent demand: tag your dog at all times. Plus, an update on Ali's home reno, Huck's allergies, and Betsy gets her groove back in a cardio-dance class. Tune in!

'James' is a retelling of Mark Twain's 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,' but this time the story is told by Huck's companion, Jim or James. James is an enslaved man who flees when he learns that he is at risk of being sold. Expert readers Rachelle Chase, Faye Dant and Jocelyn Chadwick discuss their reading experiences for this episode of the 'Talk of Iowa' book club. Please be advised: a portion of this show references racist language used in the book. (This episode was originally produced on Feb. 11, 2025.)

This week, Jeremi and Zachary speak with Professor Steven Mintz on the critical role of civics and history education in contemporary society. The discussion covers why civics education is crucial for understanding foundational facts of American history, the contentious nature of how history is taught today, and the challenges posed by ideological divides. Steven Mintz is a professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin. He is an authority on the history of families and childhood. Steve is also a pedagogical innovator and a commentator on the arts and the human condition. From 2012 to 2017, he directed the UT System's Institute for Transformational Learning. Steve is the author of many prizewinning books, including: Huck's Raft: A History of American Childhood (2004) and The Learning-Centered University: Making College a More Developmental, Transformational, and Equitable Experience (2024).

Welcome to Book Club Day at the Professional Left, where we're spoiling a 141-year-old novel that remains the undisputed champ of American literature—and revealing why it's more relevant than ever.What does Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn teach us about the struggle for America's soul in the age of Trump? Huck faces an agonizing choice: turn in his friend Jim and save his soul, or commit what he believes is a mortal sin and "go to hell." What happens when a sound heart collides with a deformed conscience?Why are the Duke and the King—usually portrayed as "lovable scamps" in film adaptations—actually dangerous grifters who sell Jim back into slavery for "forty dirty dollars"? How does Huck transform from a passive, undecided observer into an activist with a plan? And what can we learn from his refusal to accept the "Both Sides" lie of his era?We're fighting the same battle Twain declared war on: a culture that wraps monstrous lies in scripture and protects them with passive, silent complicity.All right, then—we'll go to hell.More at proleftpod.com.Not safe for work.
