Did you pay your rent yet? Well, go do that and then come back. Okay. Now that you're back, Happy Belated Halloween! The crew is in the studio, in costume (except Mal), and in the spirit. First on the docket - Mal is clipped up multiple times in Megan Thee Stallion's new documentary ‘In Her Words', and he calls her and the production team out for only acknowledging his bad words and not the good. They double down on previous things said about her case. Demaris gets vulnerable about a dream she had about Meg, forcing Mal and Rory to call each other about some live show habits. 6ix9ine and Diddy are allegedly in the same correctional facility, and the jokes arise about how prison life would suit each of us. Speaking of Diddy, his sons are on a p r e s s run, and Ray J is their focal point. Do you think they have the right to press people for speaking on their father's sins? Speaking of a full court press, Ari Lennox is tired of Dreamville and Interscope playing in her face, and Rory & Mal are on her side. Metro Boomin has some nasty allegations out about him, Snoop & Dr. Dre are coming out with an album Mal swears no one wants, AND we have voicemails! The first leads us to discussing closure, clitori, and albatross', and the second has the guys allllll in a bartenders pockets.

Today on Women's Magazine magazine we will preview two exciting new lesbian documentaries playing at SF' Frameline film festival the preeminent LGBTQAI film festival, which is the largest in the world and runs from June 14th to July 2nd. First we talk to Madeleine Lim about her new documentary Jewelle: A Just Vision about the powerful and extraordinarily talented visionary writer, activist, and community-builder Jewelle Gomez who will also be joining us. Not limited to her vanguard work The Gilda Stories, Jewelle's been at the foreground of myriad culture and movement spaces since the 1960s. Through humorous and thoughtful interviews with Jewelle and a group of friends and collaborators (including Dorothy Allison, Cheryl Clarke, and Ajuan Mance), this doc by Madeleine Lim radiates with the warmth and sharp intelligence of a prolific Black and Native femme lesbian feminist who's an enduring force across LGBTQ+ organizations and communities, as it explores the lineage that has shaped and been shaped by Jewelle. And then we talk to Lisa Marie Evans, co-director of the new documentary “In Her Words: 20th Century Lesbian Fiction.” Narrated by LGBTQ+ historian Lillian Faderman and illuminated through interviews with trailblazers like Jewelle Gomez (The Gilda Stories), Dorothy Allison (Bastard Out of Carolina), and Sarah Waters (Fingersmith), In Her Words: 20th Century Lesbian Fiction charts a literary journey from post-war lesbian pulp to modern bestsellers. Charting the changing socio-political landscapes that encouraged an evolution of the genre In Her Words: 20th Century Lesbian Fiction pays loving tribute to this evolution of lesbian and queer fiction, told through a lens of broader American history. And lastly we will talk to Allegra Madsen the director of programming at Frameline about the history of the film festival and other lesbian highlights at the film festival. The post Women's Magazine June 12 2023 appeared first on KPFA.
This feature-length film brings together many of the most notable authors of lesbian literature from the previous century. It allows them to share, in their own words, their inspirations and how and why their groundbreaking works became woven into the fabric of the LGBTQ+ community. Featured authors include Sarah Waters, Dorothy Allison, Rita Mae Brown, Lesléa Newman, Ann Bannon, Ellen Hart, Katherine V. Forrest, Lee Lynch, Jewelle Gomez, Penny Micklebury, Jenifer Levin, Achy Obejas, Karin Kallmaker, Elana Dykewomon, Patrick Califia, Claire McNab, Marianne K. Martin, and Nancy Garden.In Her Words is the most comprehensive look ever into the formative decades of lesbian literature and the women who put their safety, lives, and jobs on the line to write works that reflected the truth of lesbian experiences of the time.In Her Words: 20th Century Lesbian Fiction is narrated by venerated LGBTQ+ historian and author Lillian Faderman.

So much has been written about, discussed in relation to and analyzed regarding Jen Shah. Jen's story was even part of a national sensationalized ABC Special entitled, “The Housewife and The Shah Shocker”. Jen Shah herself has spoken to various news outlets and shared her story at various reunions over the three years that she was a cast member on Bravo's Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Now Jen plans to tell her "truth", for much lack of a better word, on her own website if you subscribe and pay a fee. What you may not know is that the actual amount of time spent speaking to Jen's victims who were defrauded of multi millions of dollars amounts to less than two percent of all the “news” out there surrounding the Federal case against Jen. Today, we hope to change that. Penny Pucket, one of Jen Shah's victims, is here to chat about HER story - how she was first contacted, the inner workings of Jen's scam, the moment she realized all was not as it seemed, being contacted by ABC to participate in the "Shah Shocker”, her thoughts on Jen's plea and the 6.5 year sentence, the aftermath, life now and finally what she hopes Jen learns in jail and what she would like to say to Jen today.

“Modern feminism encourages harder, more masculine elements in women and makes you feel sort of funny about being soft and gentle. I think that's the opposite of what we need to do — I think we should embrace the fact that women are softer, more gentle, and caring, and love is at the center of all of that. To me, being a woman means embracing that, not trying to act more masculine so I can fit into society” - Lucy Yeghiazaryan In Her Words tells the story of what it means to be a woman through original songs and jazz standards. While most of the world is telling women they have to be tough, masculine, and hard, Lucy Yeghiazaryan and Vanisha Gould have another idea. They believe the key to being a woman is embracing what makes them unique: the softer, gentler loving side. It also means embracing the fact that as women, we talk about love, romance, and men — a lot Songs on their new album range from 'Gypsy Feet", a Vanisha Gould original about a non-committal woman leaving a string of broken hearts in her wake and in turn breaking her own, to Lucy Yeghiazaryan's arrangement of Billie Holiday's "My Man", where Lucy opens up about the domestic abuse she witnessed in the community of Armenia where she grew up. They also talk about the whims of women checking out cute men on the sly through "Cute Boy" and the flirtations of men on city streets through "Hey Baby." Vanisha and Lucy also discuss what it means to be a woman in New York, navigating the tough landscape of competitive musicians. They talk about why being kind makes a huge difference to musicians, even though tough love is still necessary for musical and personal development. Listen to the full interview with jazz vocalists Lucy Yeghiazaryan and Vanisha Gould to learn more about their new jazz album In Her Words. Learn more about Vanisha Gould on her social media pages and about Lucy Yeghiazaryan on her website. You can find In Her Words anywhere you stream music.

I'm so grateful to know Amy in person. She is an amazing human being and I love to send people her way! IN HER WORDS: AS a child I had lots of pain and sickness and trauma. From birth trauma to being molested at 2 years old to lots of throat illness which by the way was all connected! I also had an accident at 10 which ended with a skull fracture. I had severe headaches from then on. In my twenties, I had my first Crainio Session and I could not understand why I would get this huge headache when she would place her hands on my head very lightly. I had to know more. I took my first class in 1995 and the rest is history. I knew this was what I was to do to help people heal their pain that was stuck in their bodies! Fast forward to 2004. two little ones, husband, and living in Hawaii. I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer. Life changed in an instant. Through all the issues in my tissues that were the result of illness, birth, early childhood trauma, I developed a great deal of hypervigilance. It has been my friend throughout my 50 years of living! I also love CBD and how it helps my body heal and regain homeostasis. I love the support it gives me. craniowave4u@gmail.com craniowave.com shop.livekaya.com/amy @craniowave4u --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-naked-podcaster/message Support this podcast
Kathrin and I discussed having divorced parents, starting to write at the age of 10, learning to forgive yourself, drug use, rehab, PTSD, punishing yourself by not writing for 4 years, suicide attempts, the recovery community, being court-ordered out of her mom's house, hitting bottom when the possibility of felony charge drug possession was a reality, strangers believing in you - to publishing as a dark fantasy Indie publisher, ghostwriting and doing such an amazing job that her husband stays home with their daughter. I adore her and have read two of her books which are phenomenal! IN HER WORDS: 1) Wife and mother of a three-year-old, happy, healthy, "adulting", doing what I love, FREE... from heroin addiction, near homelessness, near-death hospitalizations, and jail 2) Full-time fiction author and ghostwriter, International Bestselling Indie Author, living my dream, and being the sole provider for my family... from "unpublished author" with an exploding file of traditional agent rejection letters, loads of guilt and self-shaming/punishing (see item 1 above lol), wondering if I even COULD still write after 4+ years of not touching a word of fiction. Oh, and trying to make all that happen between giving birth at home, moving across the country with a 10-month-old, husband, and two dogs, and finally sending my toddler to preschool.

This time around, We did some horsewisdom readings - both with the oracle cards and intuitively! It was amazing. I let Jess lead this completely and take us where her intuition led. She brought up that I learned that I wasn't supposed to cry when I was about 7 years old and something pivotal happened around the age of 13-14 and both were spot on. She also felt my shoulder pain and when I discussed when it started, what else was going on, etc.. she connected the dots in a way that had me dumbfounded. She related it to "being stabbed in the back". From this day, I haven't had any shoulder pain. Tension, yes. Breathing through it, yes. But the pain I felt every day is completely gone. I didn't realize how hard I was hanging on and how much I hurt until I released it. I learned a number that comes up a lot is 5 and my horse was Karma. I can't wait to buy her cards! OUR FIRST INTERVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QA8ZqIUdWw FIND HER HERE: www.jesscampmans.com IG - @horsewisdomluminaryjess FB -https://www.facebook.com/JessandButteMorganHorsesGuidedbyEquus/ IN HER WORDS: The Journey of the Oracle is a transformational journey into HorseWisdom; it is the energy as informing wisdom that the horses have shared & the potential they offer, for healing & helping humanity to expand conscious awareness, embody authentic relationships, and reclaim sacred connection. WELCOME TO THE COACHING SERIES: When I wrote my book I did “Bear it all” - emotionally I was raw, vulnerable and the story was difficult to share but it was important for me to do it. I realized that I am only one story and that everyone has an equally amazing story to share. The podcast was born and for me, it was a way for my guests to “write a book in an hour” - to share their story in a condensed amount of time while being extremely raw, vulnerable, and genuine. It was an opportunity for the audience to feel less alone and build tools to cope with their own struggles. The coaching calls were a result of a suggestion from one of my guests. Not only am I physically The Naked Podcaster, but it's my turn again to be emotionally naked so the listeners could know what it would be like to work with my guests. This process wouldn't work unless I was a good fit for the coaching call and I was really willing to open up. These interviews are scary as listeners get real insight into my life. It's worth it because I've gotten to know my podcast guests and how outstanding they are. 100% of entrepreneurs birth their business from their struggle, and it's a gift to show how they have turned their trials around to help others. I'm looking forward to sharing their skills with you and connecting who they are in a different way. Enjoy the journey and remember to be kind to yourselves. CONNECT WITH ME!

Caroline came back for round 2 with me and it was even better! Her puppy plays in the background, and we talk about gaining grit for life, her 4-week coaching program, stop thinking and start doing, seeing people's prejudice against her parents and looking white although she's mixed race. What does confidence mean to YOU - are you intimidating or are they intimidated? IN HER WORDS: name is Carolina [care-oh-lee-nah] and I am a Confidence & Life Purpose Coach for spiritual millennial women looking to feel connected to their purpose in life, in a way that feels the most true for THEM. As someone who checked-off ALL the boxes and followed the roadmap laid out for me by society, I realized that I still didn't feel free, I wasn't able to embrace my creativity, and I was lacking that sense of excitement and fulfillment in my life. And I've made it my mission to go against the grain and REDEFINE what success looks and feels like, one spiritual millennial women at a time. http://www.carolinavee.com/ ( www.carolinavee.com) Instagram: @carolinavee_ Free Video Training - 5 Ways To Gain Grit: bit.ly.gaininggrit --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-naked-podcaster/message Support this podcast

In this episode of An Unscripted Woman, I weave together some stories and riff on the themes of the urgency of our times, and how it is calling many of us to speak more clearly (plainly) and get naked with our truth —even if it makes us uncomfortable, is inconvenient, or unpopular. Even if you feel vulnerable and not ready. Even if you're wondering if you're the "right" person for the job. And with all that, I'll also speak to the things women are doing to stay rooted amidst the gale-force winds of these times—so we can stay whole and sane as we are deeply of service.

40 years ago Tracy Herbert was told by all the medical experts that she would be dead within 20 years. She was told she would never be able to have children, and she would die with horrible complications. In Her Words... At 17 years old, not one person gave me hope! Learning to give myself shots was one of the first things I learned after my Juvenile Diabetes diagnosis. As a senior in high school, I was researching and developing strategies on how to live healthy while all my friends were doing the typical teenage things. After having two healthy kids, my research became even more diligent knowing that these kiddos needed their mom. Through the ups and downs of living with Type 1 diabetes, the same thing remains constant over the past 40 years, I research like my life depends on it, because it does. My first book was published Diabetes Tragedy to Triumph and it became an International Bestseller and I was honored to be asked to speak at Harvard. These distinguished audience members ask me the same thing as all the medical professionals I come in contact with “how are you still alive” and “what are you doing?” We all have choices in life and I decided as a teenager I chose to be better and not bitter and still live by that mantra today. To “celebrate” the 40th anniversary of my diagnosis I decided to ride my bicycle across the United States starting at the Golden Gate Bridge and finishing the 3,527 mile trek at the Brooklyn Bridge and finished on The Dr. Oz show. Because of the knowledge, success I’ve gained over the past 40 years, and my desire to help others, I’ve created multiple ways to help you!

“In Her Words” is back this week! This time NYU Actors Emma Baxter and Sarah Simon are reading part of Christine Blasey Ford’s letter to CNN.
Tracy Timm is a born-and-raised Texas girl with a Texas-sized dream--to help create a world where people can find (or create) work that capitalizes on their own unique genius rather than settle for something that pays them a lot of money but makes them dreading Mondays. In Her Words... Are you a burned-out, high-potential young professional who dreads going to work every day? Do you feel like you have to pretend to be someone you’re not in your career? Are you overwhelmed by the options you have for your next job but underwhelmed by everything you stumble upon on Indeed? Feeling paralyzed? (I get it—you have a lot going on.) I completely understand. I help promising “quarter-lifer’s” get rich in every sense of the word—through finances, freedom, and fulfillment in their careers. Look, there’s no magic spell to conjure your dream job. And hoping a resume rewrite will fix this is like buying a bunch of wall paint and hoping a house will materialize. The only way to stop dreading Mondays and start feeling alive at work is to deeply understand your life right now, align your natural gifts and talents with your learned knowledge and skills, and never take some arbitrary “career fit” test like the one you had in high school. So how “do” you find work you love? By getting guided introspection, actually talking to other human beings, and discovering what you were uniquely created to do. Your mission in life that begs to be fulfilled. There’s an important purpose for your life and your career. And I have a proven process to make sure you find out what it is (and find a job that pays you well to do it). For one client, who came to me crying 2x/week about her misery at work, we confronted her fears and mental-blocks by digging into her innate hopes and dreams (without the need for therapy or booze) and 8 weeks later she had THREE job offers AND felt like “herself” again. Again, no “life hacks” here. Instead: analysis, communication, and application based on your unique circumstances in life. Are you ready for that? Send me a message here on LinkedIn or email me at tracy@tracytimm.com and let’s figure this out, once and for all. If you enjoyed this episode please Comment Share and leave a review...

Shelly Rood is shattering stereotypes as the leading speaker/presenter in Metro Detroit. Known as "Miss Ambitious", she is a renowned personal development expert, featured at groups like Oakland Community College, State Farm, and CrossFit. Shelly is in her 16th year of military service with the US Army Reserves- she's met so many incredible women, it's become her mission to celebrate fellow tactical beauties. Shelly recently launched "Missilia - Women for God, Country & Each Other". Missilia provides an online, in-home and in-person community of support and encouragement for women who kick butt in life. http://www.missilia.us/ Professional Speaker & Entrepreneur 7-year broadcast TV career as a Marketing Executive 5-year career in the fitness industry, helping gyms double their profits and offer life-changing wellness programs still serves as a Military Intelligence Officer, applying for a transfer to the Chaplaincy Corp Full-time Seminary Student, pursuing a Masters of Divinity Wife and mother of an active 8-yr old boy In Her Words.. There have been many, however, one specific instance drove me to stop working for other people. Two years ago, I was in a great place: helping great people make money doing what they loved. The only thing that was missing was my family. I was a successful business consultant in Charleston, SC, working with CrossFit Wando. They're a family owned gym with a Christian Mission - it doesn't get much better than that. I also was responsible for a 6yr old boy. No one else was helping to keep food on the table; the stressors of war, PTSD and the use of alcohol as a coping mechanism proved to be too much for my first marriage, and I made the choice many years ago to put the child first. Then, like the start of a movie, I woke up one morning with a terrible headache. My vision stared to fade and I suffered through nearly 4 weeks of incredible pain while I sought help from eye doctors & urgent care centers, who all kept saying it was migraine related. The pain refused to subside and I was running out of options. Finally, my pastor had a connection with the head of neurology at a hospital and they took me right in. They discovered an "orbital pseudo tumor" behind my left eye. The area was so swollen, my eye couldn't move in it's socket and my field of vision was reduced to about 6 inches, looking straight ahead. It took a 6-day hospital stay to get the swelling down and relieve pressure off the nerves. During that time, I couldn't care for my child. The simplest tasks proved insurmountable; I couldn't cook, use a computer, drive a car, see my phone - I couldn't even read a book. I kept thinking about the business that I wanted to run - my blog, my online store - and how much harder it was going to be to start it if I was blind. After I left the hospital, I moved home to Michigan where my parents live. I rented a place in their same neighborhood and they helped care for my child while my vision returned; every available moment was spent starting my own speaking company. Now, my vision has completely returned and Mission: Ambition is going into it's second year- with exciting business ventures on the horizon. I've remarried and we own an incredible lakefront home. We put everything in God's hands and he continues to bless us, every day! I spent all of my 20's and most of my 30's working for other people. I have made a lot of business owners a lot of money - and not necessarily myself. While I have no doubts that all of that experience has contributed to my success, it took me being reduced to nothing- in a high pressure situation- to completely start over. I started by first business many years ago, and failed because I was scared to "do things right". The financial investment of a lawyer, an accountant, insurance, etc. are necessary - if you're not ready to do those things, then don't try to start a business. It'll just become a washed out dream that your heart was never really in. If you enjoyed this episode please Comment Share and leave a review...

I’m Theo Mayer - the Chief Technologist for the Commission and your host. Welcome to the show. Link: https://open.spotify.com/show/4xrhXYSHPEtG1CqMXEJj67 [MUSIC] Preface Every week as we prepare the podcast, we pour through the publications that came out that week 100 years ago and look for themes, trends and what is being talked about. This week, we were struck with what WASN’T being talked about - especially in government related media like the Official Bulletin - the government’s daily war gazette - published for the President by George Creel’s Committee on Public Information or the American Expeditionary Forces’ weekly Stars and Stripes newspaper. This is the week, on March 21st, that the Germans slammed down their hammer with the first phase of their spring offensive. With that as a setup, let’s jump into our Centennial Time Machine and roll back 100 years to the week that launched the definitive 6 months of DO or DIE - in the War that Changed the World! World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week It’s the third week of March, 1918 And to review the situation once again, Even before the Brest-Litovsk Treaty earlier this month, which successfully wraps up the war on Eastern Front for the Germans - the front collapsing has been freeing up massive resources of men, arms and munitions which are now being re-deployed to the Western Front. Germany's General Erich Ludendorff plans a massive spring offensive designed to separate the British and French armies and force a surrender which the Germans feel pressure to do - before the American troops can affect the outcome. The offensive is code named Operation Michael, and unbeknownst to the allies is scheduled for March 21st., 1918. Though the Allies could have been more prepared, they surely were not surprised. Most historians agree that the only surprise is the specific day and the specific location for the offensive’s launch. In fact, by mid-February 1918, the buildup of both men and heavy artillery on the German side had become too large to dismiss any doubt of a coming attack. In a letter from Sir Douglas Haig, Commander in Chief of the British Armies, written after the fact, he describes aerial operations revealing expanded ammunition and supply dumps all along the Western Front, but with a clear buildup in the Arras sector, leading Haig to believe that this is the most probable place for a German offensive to take place. By some accounts, the actual date of Operation Michael is uncovered by British intelligence a few days before the fact. Unfortunately, defenses are still being prepared on March 21st. Even more unfortunately, General Haig has decided to strengthen his left wing at the expense of his right, and his right wing is exactly where the full force of the German hammer comes down. According to historian Robert Doughty, French intelligence also discovers a high probability of a German attack at Arras, but the lack of a overarching structure connecting the two armies hampers collaboration. Meanwhile the US Government seems to be focusing its public with misdirection. SOUND EFFECT: Dateline Monday March 18, 1918 As the offensive encroaches - Here is a sampling of headlines in the Official Bulletin: More than 12 Billion Dollars now in War risk insurance…. Woman on Sub teaches men how to cook under water Norway protests to german people over convoy sinking Bakers must bake VICTORY bread or close shop after March 20 The next day the war department briefs the press causing the NY TImes to print an article doubting the offensive is imminent. [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline Tuesday March 19, 1918 A headline in the NY times reads: Offensive in west foe’s last Resort? Washington believes it won’t be delivered unless strategy compels it. Massing of more enemy troops is impracticable. And the article reads: Doubt that the German military leaders will launch their offensive in the west unless compelled by the strategy of the situation to do so, is expressed in the weekly statement issued by the war Department today, reviewing military operations of the last week. Meanwhile, the next day In the Official Bulletin we find headlines that include: No icing on this year’s Hot Cross Buns for good Friday National Conference called to discuss plans for Americanization of Aliens Live day-old chicks may be sent by mail on 72-hour journeys Export of Oleomargarine to be licensed to Canada And still nothing about the impending offensive! But that is not true for the public press! In contrast to the government media, the NY Times is all over the start of the German spring offensive! Dateline March 21, 1918 The headline in the NY times reads Concentrated assault made to pinch British out of their front line intense struggle ensues The battle spreads north and south and is still continuing with great fury Shell storm over lines Wide area back of British front is swept by German missiles And the story reads: The Germans this afternoon launched a heavy attack against British lines over a wide front in and near the Cambrai sector, and the assault bears all the earmarks of being the beginning of the enemy’s much heralded grand offensive. The attack was preceded by a heavy bombardment from guns of all calibers and the duel between the opposing heavy batteries has been rocking the countryside for hours. [ Sound Effect ] Another Headline Reads Washington still doubtful on drive. American officers wait for full scope of German move to develop. However, the next day on March 22nd, a reporter name Philip Gibbs files a cable report to the NY TIMES that is, in retrospect, the most accurate description in this dynamic moment. Dateline March 22, 1918 The headline in the New York Times reads Germans vast superiority in Guns is backed by 50 divisions of men One cannon for every 12 yards of front One British division fought six near St. Quentin The enemy flung the full weight of his great army against the British yesterday. Nearly 40 divisions are identified and it is certain that as many as 50 must be engaged. In proportion of men, the British are much outnumbered, therefore the obstinacy of the resistance of the troops is to be admired. Nine German divisions were hurled against three British at one part of the line, and eight against two at another. All the storm troops, including the guards, were in brand-new uniforms. They advanced in dense masses and never faltered until shattered by machine gun fire. As far as I can find, the enemy introduced no new frightfullness, no tanks, and no specially invented gas, but instead, relied on the power of his artillery and the weight of his infantry assault. The supporting waves advanced over the bodies of the dead and wounded. The German commanders were ruthless in the sacrifice of life, in the hope of overwhelming the defense by the sheer weight of numbers. And that is how the media ran - this week 100 years ago - when the German Spring Offensive launches - in the war the changed the world We have put the links to some of our research in the podcast notes for you to explore.

Ed: Your story this week is about a 3rd division regimen of engineers. When I read it, it really struck me as a great example of what the Americans brought to the bone tired, desperate and war weary allies. It was more than bodies and equipment - it was also a very special, almost naive but very recognizable spirit. [ED LENGEL] [MUSIC TRANSITION] [Ed, what will you be telling us about next week?] Dr. Edward Lengel is an American military historian, author, and our segment host for America Emerges: Military Stories from WWI.

She is an author and a recognized authority in women’s military history. Dr. Bonnell! Welcome, [greetings] [Dr. Bonnell, I’d like to start by asking you about the U.S. Army Women’s Museum. can you give us a quick overview?] [I know we need to get to WWI but I was struck by something I read on your website. It states that the museum covers the service of Army women from 1775 to the present - well 1775 is when the colonies kicked off the Revolutionary war against England’s King George - That is pre-United States --- so what was the role of women in our colonial 1775 army?] [OK - on to WWI - Dr. Bonnell - How did women affect the army in WWI and how did their service affect womanhood?] [Is there a continuing legacy of WW1 for women in the army today?] [Does the museum have any WWI centennial commemoration plans?] Dr. Francoise Bonnell is the director of the U.S. Army Women's Museum at Fort Lee, Virginia.

We’ve covered these stories in the past - horses, mules, pigeons, the lion cubs Whiskey and Soda, the elephants of the Berlin Zoo and last weeks the trench rats of the Chemin de Dames… Today we’re joined by Nancy Furstinger (FUR-stinger), an animal author -- whose book “Paws of Courage” highlights the tales of our heroic canines. Welcome, Nancy! [greetings] [Nancy, to start -- can you give us an overview of the various roles Dogs played in the Armed Forces during WW1?] [Everyone’s been talking about Sgt. Stubby -- and of course, next week he premieres as the star of an animated feature film! What other famous wartime canines are there from WWI?] [Your book covers dogs in service -- and as we mentioned in the opening, there were a lot of different animals that served in WWI. from your research - what strikes you as the most interesting?] [goodbyes/thanks] Nancy Furstinger is the author of over 100 books - and many about her life’s passion - animals.

Journey’s End is a powerful film about a group of British soldiers that rotated into the front line trenches - just about exactly 100 years ago this week, at the cusp of the anticipated great German offensive. I had a chance to catch up with the film’s Director, Saul Dibb in a call to London. Welcome, Saul! [Saul - Journey's end is a very intimate film - about a very intimate subject - men, mortality and fear - Can you give us a quick overview of the story? ] [Journey's End was a stage play, in fact a very good stage play, before you made it into a film - so it was conceptualized to happen on the confines of a stage - with a story that plays out largely in the confines of a trench system - how did that affect your approach?] [The art direction, cinematography, performance and obviously the script are all amazing - as the director - what your biggest challenge in bringing this all together.] [Saul - You've made several period films - so authenticity is always a key element - how did you go about "getting it right" for Journey's end?] Saul Dibb is the director of the feature film Journey’s End, now in limited release in us theaters across the country. We put links in the podcast notes for both the trailer and the theater show listing - or Google Journey’s End - I you are interested in what this first week of spring was like for the Tommies in the trenches in 1918 - This fine film will take you there. links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLpyaLNfudY http://www.journeysendthefilm.com/watch/movies/journeys-end-622437?gwiCampaign=official+site_official+site_2018-01-11_7876&gwi_campaign=Official+Site&lead_partner_id=360&partner_asset_id=7876&version=2#theater-list 100 Cities 100 Memorials Moving on to our 100 Cities / 100 Memorials segment about the $200,000 matching grant challenge to rescue and focus on our local WWI memorials. This week we are profiling the Memorial Bell Tower project at NC State University in raleigh, North Carolina. With us tell us about their project are Thomas Skolnicki [SKOAL-nick-ee], A veteran and the Landscape Architect for the University -- retired US navy Rear Admiral -- Benny Suggs, the director of NC State's Alumni Association and US Air Force Veteran, World War One Centennial Commissioner Jerry Hester, and all three men are alumni of the school! Welcome gentlemen! [greetings] [Let me start with a courtesy - Commissioner Hester - We have not had the pleasure of your presence on the Podcast before - I just want to welcome you to the show.] [My first questions is to you Tom - The North Carolina State University Bell Tower is a very unusual building with an interesting history. It started out as a low 16 foot ww1 memorial - a cornerstone monument known as the shrine room but, like a tree it started to grow! For decades! Up to 115 feet tall. Can you tell us the story?] [Commissioner Hester - you are an alumni of the University - did you encourage them to participate in the 100 Cities / 100 Memorials Project - or did you learn about their participation after?] [Benny - this is our first “Spring of 2018” episode and appropriately, for your restoration project is adding a poppy beds to the tower. Can you tell us about that and the dedication plans?] [Commissioner - You have been promoting poppy plantings all over the state - even along the highways - I understand it was pretty spectacular last year.] Thomas Skolnicki is the University Landscape Architect at NC State University, Benny Suggs is the director of NC State's Alumni Association, and Jerry Hester is a World War One Centennial Commissioner.

St. Patrick’s Day and Literacy Hi Theo -- we celebrated St Patrick’s Day this past weekend, and in honor of that I wanted to share two quick articles about the Irish and Irish Americans of WW1 that we shared on Facebook this past week. The first comes from NPR and tells the story of a torpedoed Irish ship and the cargo aboard that saved its sailors lives. The ship was making its way across the Irish Sea, a favored hunting ground for German uboats, when it was struck by a torpedo and split in two. As the ship began to sank, sucking the sailors down into the water with it, the cargo floated up to the surface -- barrels and barrels of the iconic Irish stout, Guinness. Holding on to the Guinness, the sailors drifted in the sea and were rescued a few hours later. Read the full story at the link in the notes. To wrap up St Patrick’s Day, head to Saratogian News where they recently published an article about the experience of an Irish American regiment, a part of the 42nd Rainbow Division, during the St Patrick’s Day of 1918. They celebrated the holiday just after having experienced some heavy losses at the hand of the German’s and their artillery. Read about their valiant efforts under intense German fire, and their celebration of the holiday, at the link in the podcast notes. Finally for the week, head over to Mental Floss to take a WW1 era literacy test. With a rapidly growing armed forces, drawn from all corners of the country and all segments of the population, officials and army leaders saw indications of life in the early 20th century: nutrition and literacy in this cross-section of America were not at the levels they had expected. Though reading and writing might are not necessarily the most important requirement for trench warfare -- and indeed several combatants, including Russia, Italy and Turkey had shockingly low rates of literacy in their ranks-- the U.S. Army became increasingly concerned with whether or not its soldiers were literate as the war picked up pace. Thousands of American soldiers couldn't read printed directions on basic military tasks -- posing a potentially dangerous problem for the fledgling force. The Army didn't implement its first major literacy program until the 1940s, but it did use a battery of yes or no questions to test literacy as new recruits came in. Some of the questions are quite simple, like “is coal white?” but they escalate in complexity to ones like “Are members of the family usually regarded as guests” and “Are loquacious and voluble opposite in meaning?” You can take the test yourself, and read more about the pitfalls of this first literacy battery, by visiting the link in the notes. That’s it for this week in the Buzz.
