Part 1 of 2: An Interview with retired Richland County Common Pleas Court Judge, the Honorable James Henson Revisiting the past is never easy, especially when history is marred by the traumatic experience of having your father murder your mother. However, it can also yield valuable insight and lead to reconciliation and healing. In this special two-part episode of Moving Past Murder, host Collier Landry reunites with the judge from his father's murder trial. Now retired after serving over 35 years as seated judge of Richland County Common Pleas Court, the Honorable James Henson, has seen many court cases come and go. However, one trial stands above them all, forever in the annals of Richland County and Central Ohio history. The Boyle murder trial was a month-long media sensation that gripped not only the city of Mansfield but the entire tri-state area surrounding Ohio and even national media coverage. The trial was televised daily, and eager citizens rushed home to huddle around their television screens to keep up with the "real-life soap opera." Being the prosecution's star witness, Collier was never allowed to watch the trial. As an adult, he never really cared to. In this rare interview, Collier learns stunning new information from Judge Henson, including: Collier learns that his father rented a cold-storage facility to store his mother's body while he prepared her grave beneath the basement floor of his new home in Erie, PA. His father lied about his previous medical career and educational history to get into private practice when his family moved to Mansfield, OH. The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Judge Henson shares a disturbing story with Collier.

In a new Second Reading Podcast, James Henson & Joshua Blank talk about the politics of Republican responses to the aftermath of the Mar-a-Lago search, and the broader context of the decay of democratic norms and institutions – including how the history of elite messaging encouraging distrust of elections and electoral institutions is now part of a feedback loop via public opinion. Mixed and mastered by Evan Sherer
Is democracy still democracy when one party wins all the elections? That's a question we'll be asking around the country on our state-level identity and polarization series, since 37 state “trifectas,” or one-party governments, are now in office. It's also a major point of discussion with Dr. James Henson, Director of The Texas Politics Project, in our third episode on the biggest and proudest of the Republican trifectas: Texas. “The Democrats have gone from being the disadvantaged party to a structurally hobbled party," observes Henson, who's been analyzing and polling on Texas politics for over 15 years at UT Austin. "You get in a position where you're just so structurally disadvantaged that it almost changes the fundamental nature of political competition.” Which might cause one to believe that political identity in Texas is as uniformly red as this legislation. But according to a major recent research project by the group More In Common, there is far more diversity of viewpoint in Texas, even among those with strong Texas identities than would be expected from its politics. TPP speaks with Global Research Director Stephen Hawkins about the origin of More in Common's first state-level identity project and with the report's co-author, Paul Oshinski, on the finding of seven distinct social “Threads of Texas,” from far left “Lone Star Progressives” to far right “Heritage Defenders,” with five interesting gradations somewhere in between. Think Texas is a ruby red state? Well, yes, if you look only at election results and legislative output. But not if you look beyond, to the rapidly growing, changing and diversifying society beneath one-party rule.

Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one! If your birthday happens to be on September 24th, then you share a birthday with a kid who grew up to be famous all over the world! He was born in Greenville, Mississippi in 1936, and his name was James Henson, but everybody called him Jim. Jim had a very happy childhood, and he loved exploring. He would explore the countryside around his house, and he would explore his own artistic abilities. He had a natural talent for creating art out of different materials and for creating fun stories. Because of his talent and his attitude of excellence, he was hired by a television station in Washington D.C. to do a puppet show while he was still in high school! Once again, his excellence astounded everyone, and soon he was doing a LOT of television shows and creating his own puppets except to be different, he called his puppets “Muppets.” One of Jim's first muppets (and probably still the most popular) was named Kermit after one of his childhood friends. Soon, the people who started a program called Sesame Street asked Jim Henson to create some stars for their new show, and that's when his sense of excellence came through again with Big Bird, Bert and Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, and many others. Not only did Jim Henson practice excellence in everything he did, he was a genuinely nice person. His business partner for many years, Frank Oz said that Jim Henson was as close to how you're suppose to behave toward other people as anyone he's ever known. Jim Henson was a HERO! That's what I know about the beginning of This Hero, and I know that YOU Can Be a Hero TOO!Dear Parents, After years of development, trial, and revision, we are so excited to now share with you the most effective version yet of our Proactive Bully Prevention Program that has proven to "change the culture" at hundreds of campuses across America in profound ways.

These two sets of stories work together to convey a common academic language which says, “A bully is a person who hurts others on purpose (even if it's just hurting their feelings) but a HERO is a person who HELPS others. So CHOOSE to be a HERO by HELPING instead of a bully by hurting.” They also promote the concept of... Support this podcast
