Long time listeners may remember when this case was originally covered on this show in 2021- but it was so popular that we just had to re-do it with Megan and Jason in studio. This is the case of Anne Green, a woman who survived her own execution in a very bizarre way and all she got for her efforts was her own coffin as a souvenir.  Join Patreon here to binge bonus content! Crime Curious is creating a kick-ass exclusive listener experience | Patreon https://www.buymeacoffee.com/crimecurious Music By: Michael Drzewiecki Cover Art By: Charnell Anne Greene, The Accused Baby Killer Who Refused to Die | Ancient Origins (ancient-origins.net) 1650: Anne Greene survives being hanged, pulled, stomped (alphahistory.com) Newes from the Dead by Mary Hooper (goodreads.com) The Miraculous Revival and Exoneration of Anne Green - | College of Humanities (byu.edu) Pamphleteer - Wikipedia Hanged by the neck until dead.

There clearly are lessons that we have learned from the Vietnam War that we have applied well to other situations, but there are also lessons that we think we have learned that are far less clear, and could lead to similar outcomes if we are not careful. The Vietnam War certainly cast a pall over America, but much more so over all of Southeast Asia. Back then the enemy was seen as Communism. Now the enemy has transformed into various political movements along the far end of the authoritarian spectrum―whose understandable but deceptive attractiveness during moments of despair has even begun finding many adherents among us. To head off that unfortunate development, join us in asking: Which foreign policies could we adopt that would make the freest end of the spectrum of democratic civilizations more robust, more stable and more desirable? And where does the development and use of military power fit into those foreign policies to achieve our civilizational goals? Humanities West presents a variety of expert opinions on these important issues while reviewing what went wrong, and what went right, during the Vietnam War that ended so abruptly on April 30, 1975. Join us for two nights, on April 30 and May 2, to hear six experts review what we have learned, and what we have not, about the Vietnam War. A Humanities Member-led Forum program.

Sarah Lewis's book The Unseen Truth: When Race Changed Sight in America examines America from the end of the Civil War to the beginning of Jim Crow when the country's conception of race, and whiteness, was transforming. A finalist for the 2025 Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, Lewis uncovers a pivotal era when Americans came to ignore the truth about the false foundations of the nation's racial regime. Thanks to Professor Lewis's historical detective work, what we see and what's left unseen shapes everything we believe about ourselves and other people - and how we can start changing the narrative about who counts and who belongs in America.rnrnSarah Lewis is an award-winning art historian, founder of Vision & Justice, and the John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Humanities and Associate Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. She is also the author of the bestseller The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure, and the Search for Mastery, as well as the forthcoming book Vision & Justice.

During WWII, the government created the National War Labor Board to regulate labor and control inflation. Instead, says Bryant Etheridge, the Southern regional board raised wages for the lowest earners. And: The Black Panther Party famously advocated for Black revolutionaries to arm themselves for self-defence. Edward Onaci explores the long history of Black revolutionary movements for self-defense. Later in the show: For a brief moment in time after Reconstruction, a biracial coalition called The Readjuster Party took power in Virginia. Sheren Sanders tells the story of how Black republicans, white working class Virginians, former Confederates, and Democrats, all came together to readjust Virginia's debt and give those funds back to the people. Plus: For some, Barack Obama's presidency is evidence that the Civil Rights movement succeeded. How did Black voters see him at the time? Athena King explores how Black movement leaders supported Obama and where they challenged him.

Summary: In this conversation, Michael Easley and Dr. Adam Rasmussen discuss the alarming findings of a recent Barna study on the understanding of the Trinity among Americans, particularly within the Christian community. They explore the implications of these findings, the importance of teaching the doctrine of the Trinity, and the cultural influences that shape contemporary beliefs. The discussion emphasizes the need for a return to biblical literacy and the transformative power of understanding the Trinity in the life of believers. Ultimately, they offer hope for the future by encouraging a deeper engagement with scripture and a commitment to living out biblical principles in everyday life. TAKEAWAYS Only 11% of adults in America believe in the Trinity. 16% of self-identified church-going Christians embrace the Trinity. There is a dearth of teaching on the Trinity in local churches. Cultural influences are shaping the spiritual views of Americans. Many Christians are turning to secular figures for theological guidance. God loves to change culture through the church. The answer to societal ills is a return to God. We must experience God's love to effectively share it with others. ABOUT DR. ADAM RASMUSSEN Dr. Adam Rasmussen is a Fellow at the Cultural Research Center and the Dean of the College of Arts & Humanities at Arizona Christian University. He is a magna cum laude graduate of Northwestern College, where he earned a BA in history. He also holds an MA in Educational Ministries from Wheaton College, as well as a PhD in Educational Studies with a focus on leadership and administration from the Talbot School of Theology at Biola University. His research interests include biblical literacy, educational ministries, and Christian apologetics.

Could home sharing be the answer to rising housing costs and loneliness among older adults? This timely question opens the door to an important conversation about aging, affordability, and community. Today, nearly 1 in 3 older adults struggle with housing costs—and projections show that rent burdens and homelessness among adults 65+ will rise sharply in the next decade. With limited affordable options, many older adults are searching for ways to stay in their homes while staying connected. Enter home sharing—a creative and growing solution that allows older adults to share space, reduce expenses, and build meaningful relationships. In this episode, we explore how home sharing works, who it benefits, and what it means for the future of aging in place. Whether you're looking for affordable housing, want to stay in your home longer, or are just curious about how it all works—this episode is for you. We'd like to invite you to be a part of the GW Center for Aging, Health and Humanities community. Here are two ways that you can do that: You can join our email list by visiting the GW Center for Aging's website – https://nursing.gwu.edu/center-aging-health-and-humanities And we'd love to have you join our Facebook Group called “Building Age-Friendly Ecosystems” at https://www.facebook.com/groups/agefriendlyecosystems If you have trouble finding the website or the Facebook Group, please email us at aging@gwu.edu and we can help you find either or both!

In the midst of all this rallying behind the flag, Alpha Abebe says it's a good time to consider who and what is being obscured in the current surge of Canadian patriotism.

Send us a textWhat makes a civilization thrive—and what role do men play in building and sustaining it? In this powerful conversation, Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones sit down with Dr. Anthony Esolen, Distinguished Professor of Humanities and acclaimed author of No Apologies: Why Civilization Depends on the Strength of Men. With insight drawn from decades of studying literature, culture, theology, and history, Esolen explains why male strength—both physical and moral—is foundational to the rise and survival of civilizations. Together, they unpack what's at stake in today's culture, the crisis facing boys and men, and what it means to build a life rooted in honor, purpose, and contribution. This is an essential episode for anyone passionate about men's discipleship, biblical masculinity, and the recovery of timeless truths in a confused world.You can subscribe to Dr. Esolen's newsletter at https://anthonyesolen.substack.com/

https://tlh.villagesquare.us/event/america-fourth/Riffing along with our civic hero Dr. Danielle Allen, you have to start with basic agreements that are foundational (nonviolence as a basic norm, a supermajority for constitutional democracy, and full inclusion for all citizens). We're also wondering if the secret to a healthy America is to… wait for it… put “America Fourth!” Perhaps too much of our lives are now wrapped up in this life or death, us v. them struggle for us to be happy people. According to political scientist Eitan Hersh, this is making us insufferable “political hobbyists” who need to get a life?

Take your flashlight and grab a compass - let's go exploring! Peter Berquist lives and breathes boats. He captains the R/V Investigator, a 24 foot Carolina Skiff. Every semester he takes his students out on the boat for adventures and first-hand research experience. Peter has been named an outstanding faculty member by The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. And: Dave Waldien is a real life explorer. And he has the title to prove it! He's a National Geographic Explorer and travels all over the world protecting endangered bat species. Later in the show: European explorers first made contact with West Africa in the 15th century, and thriving trade relations soon followed. But Neil Norman says the Europeans weren't the ones calling the shots - it was powerful West African kingdoms like Ouida, located in present day Benin.

Scientists at a bio-technology firm made headlines when they announced the “de-extinction” of the dire wolf, a species of wolf that went extinct on Earth over 10,000 years ago. Colossal Biosciences examined DNA from ancient dire wolf fossils and used it to create wolf puppies with traits of the extinct species. The gene editing technology sparked curiosity around the world, and although the new wolves were not exact replicas of the originals they had similar traits. The development raises serious questions about what de-extinction really means.Mass extinctions have shaped the history of life on Earth, and nature has adapted across the millennia, but with almost half of all species already in decline, including some frogs, how seriously is de-extinction technology being taken?

This week on The Literary Life Podcast, our hosts Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks are back with a new “Literary Life of…” interview, this time with their teaching colleague at House of Humane Letters, Dr. Anne Phillips. In addition to her classes at HHL, you can also find Dr. Phillips writing on Substack. Angelina starts off the conversation asking Anne about her reading life growing up and her homeschool experience. She talks about how she came to love the Greek myths and started pursuing Latin. The three of them discuss how having a diet of truly good literature cultivates discernment in reading less valuable books. They also share thoughts on writing as imitation and the great importance of having good ideas over knowing particular forms. Anne also talks about her college and graduate school experiences and the challenges of being in academia in our current culture. They wrap up the conversation with a little look into what Dr. Phillips reading life looks like now as a working, homeschooling mother and wife. To register for Dr. Phillips and Jenn Rogers' upcoming mini-class, “The Great Divide”, please visit HouseofHumaneLetters.com.

Dr. Emma Violand-Sanchez has dedicated her life to supporting immigrant and refugee students in the American public education system. Emma immigrated from Bolivia to America without her parents in 1961 as a senior in high school, knowing little English. Her memoir Dreams and Shadows: An Immigrant's Journey is a Virginia story, from the desk of a 16-year-old Emma during the height of desegregation and an adult woman who often had to justify her presence in schools where she was supporting immigrants and refugees. And: Public libraries have a lot to offer. Suzanne Grossman says that public libraries can be doorways into American culture for people who have just immigrated to the U.S. Later in the show: Europe has welcomed an unprecedented amount of immigrants over the past decade. Georg Menz says that many people migrating from places that are culturally unlike Europe. As immigration debates intensify, Georg says that one approach to ensuring better outcomes for hopeful migrants is to send them to countries that are more culturally similar to their home countries. Plus: For all of our differences, Americans do have a sense of what it is to be an American. And an even greater sense of what it is to not be an American. Jennifer Byrne says that there are three key factors that impact how Americans think about immigration.

In Market Encounters: Consumer Cultures in Twentieth-Century Ghana (Ohio UP, 2017), Bianca Murillo explores the shifting social terrains that made the buying and selling of goods in modern Ghana possible. Fusing economic and business history with social and cultural history, she traces the evolution of consumerism in the colonial Gold Coast and independent Ghana from the late nineteenth century through to the political turmoil of the 1970s. Murillo brings sales clerks, market women, and everyday consumers in Ghana to the center of a story that is all too often told in sweeping metanarratives about what happens when African businesses are incorporated into global markets. By emphasizing the centrality of human relationships to Ghana's economic past, Murillo introduces a radical rethinking of consumption studies from an Africa-centered perspective. The result is a keen look at colonial capitalism in all of its intricacies, legacies, and contradictions, including its entanglement with gender and race.

Falun Gong is familiar to many as a spiritual exercise movement, and a sect that has been persecuted by the People's Republic of China. In Sydney you'll often see practitioners demonstrating by Town Hall with flyers sharing stories of organ harvesting of wrongfully imprisoned members. But former devotees have come forward with stories of coercion and abuse, alleging that in one thing the CCP is correct: Falun Gong is a socially harmful cult.Full research sources listed here.Links:“I am the only one propagating true Dharma”: Li Hongzhi's Self-Presentation as Buddha and Greater — by James R.

In Economic Thought in Modern China: Market and Consumption, c.1500–1937 (Cambridge University Press, 2020), Margherita Zanasi argues that basic notions of a free market economy emerged in China a century and half earlier than in Europe. In response to the commercial revolutions of the late 1500s, Chinese intellectuals and officials called for the end of state intervention in the market, recognizing its power to self-regulate. They also noted the elasticity of domestic demand and production, arguing in favour of ending long-standing rules against luxury consumption, an idea that emerged in Europe in the late seventeenth and early nineteenth centuries. Zanasi challenges Eurocentric theories of economic modernization as well as the assumption that European Enlightenment thought was unique in its ability to produce innovative economic ideas. She instead establishes a direct connection between observations of local economic conditions and the formulation of new theories, revealing the unexpected flexibility of the Confucian tradition and its accommodation of seemingly unorthodox ideas. Margherita Zanasi is Professor of Chinese History at Louisiana State University. She has published widely on different aspects of modern China's history, including her first book Saving the Nation: Economic Modernity in Republican China (University of Chicago Press, 2005). She also serves as the editor of the journal Twentieth Century China.  Ghassan Moazzin is an Assistant Professor at the Hong Kong Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences and the Department of History at the University of Hong Kong. He works on the economic and business history of 19th and 20th century China, with a particular focus on the history of foreign banking, international finance and electricity in modern China. His first book, Foreign Banks and Global Finance in Modern China: Banking on the Chinese Frontier, 1870–1919, is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press. Learn more about your ad choices.
