Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt General Hospital spoilers are eagerly anticipating the unfolding of multiple storylines involving characters such as Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey), Carly Spencer (Laura Wright), and Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), among others. In a series of GH leaks from a reliable source, it was revealed that Cassius Faison, despite his current characterization, remains a villain. However, his alleged feelings for his nephew, James West, add an interesting twist to his character. Carly Spencer, the ex of Drew Cain, is expected to uncover the truth about Drew and his situation with Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen). In another surprising turn, Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) is anticipated to risk her life to save Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr), potentially softening his parents' views of her.  The General Hospital Leak suggests unexpected hiatuses from actors Finola Hughes and Steve Burton have resulted in hasty rewrites, including Anna Devane (Finola Hughes)'s kidnapping, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart)'s prolonged hideout in Carly's attic, and Jocelyn Jacks (Eden McCoy)'s kidnapping.  More GH Leak details include the death of the character Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) is also expected in mid to late June, following his series of attempted murders. Amidst all these developments, fans can expect the return of Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) to Port Charles by the third week of July.  You are listening to Belynda from Soap Dirt.

"I want to write something new," American author F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote in a letter to his editor, "something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately patterned." Months later, he presented the results: the novel that would eventually be titled The Great Gatsby. Published in 1925 to middling success, the book has since become a candidate for the Great American Novel, selling more than copies in a month than the book sold during Fitzgerald's entire lifetime. In this episode, Jacke talks to Fitzgerald scholar James West about his work editing the Cambridge Centennial Edition of The Great Gatsby, which celebrates 100 years of this enduring tale of illicit desire, grand illusions, and lost dreams, delivered in lyric prose by an author writing at the peak of his powers.

In this lively and far-reaching text, Nick Witham (University College London) tells the stories of five postwar historians who changed the way ordinary Americans thought about their nation's history. For decades, critics of the discipline have argued that the historical profession is dominated by scholars unable, or perhaps even unwilling, to write for the public. In Popularizing the Past: Historians, Publishers, and Readers in Postwar America (University of Chicago Press, 2023), Witham challenges this interpretation by telling the stories of Richard Hofstadter, Daniel Boorstin, John Hope Franklin, Howard Zinn, and Gerda Lerner - writers who, in the decades after World War II, published widely read books of national history. Witham compellingly argues that we should understand historians' efforts to engage with the reading public as a vital part of their postwar identity and mission. Not just a matter of writing style, popular accessibility was also a product of an author's frame of mind, the editor's skill, and the publisher's marketing acumen, among other factors. Rooted in extensive archival work, Popularizing the Past persuasively demonstrates the cross-influences of popular history writing and American popular culture.

In this episode, Thomas Aiello joins E. James West to discuss Practical Radicalism and the Great Migration: The Cultural Geography of the Scott Newspaper Syndicate (University of Georgia Press, 2023).  Building on his earlier book The Grapevine of the Black South, which focused on the rise and fall of the Scott Newspaper Syndicate through its flagship publication the Atlanta Daily World, this book further reshapes the place of southern newspapers in the historiography of Black journalism. Practical Radicalism and the Great Migration traces the development and trajectory of the individual newspapers of the Syndicate, evaluating those with surviving issues, and presenting them as they existed in proximity to their Atlanta hub. In so doing, he emphasizes the thread of practical radicalism that ran through Syndicate editorial policy, providing a fuller picture of the Scott Newspaper Syndicate and the Black press in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

Welcome to February 11th, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate amazing inventors and snappy patties. James West was born in 1931 in Prince Edward County, Virginia. As a boy, he loved taking things apart and after an accident involving a radio, he discovered a curiosity for electricity. This led West to obtaining a degree in physics and a position with Bell Laboratories as an inventor. By 1968 his inexpensive, highly sensitive compact microphone was in mass production and the technology is still used in 90 percent of today's microphones as well as telephones and tape recorders. James West was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame in 1999 and today holds over 250 patents for his inventions. He is 91 years old and is currently a professor at Johns Hopkins University. On National Inventors' Day we celebrate the men and women who continue to inspire us with their amazing achievements.  The flavor combination of chocolate and mint has been around awhile. As early as 1840, the Quiggins brothers created a soft mint cake dipped in chocolate. And while the UK based Kendal Mint Cake Company still produces them today, the peppermint patties we love to celebrate got their start in America in 1940. At the York Cone factory inventor Henry Kessler had only one rule; the candy had to pass the snap test. If it didn't snap in two the patties were out! It's estimated that over 1.5 billion are produced each year, proving that this candy is still a fan favorite! On National Peppermint Patty Day celebrate the candy that kids still find cool.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day!
