Podcast appearances and mentions of jere longman

In the last episode of season 5, we looked into a Boulder, Colorado community then known as Divine Madness and led by Marc Tizer, usually referred to as 'Yo'. Its members were recognised for some amazing results in ultramarathons. At the time of researching that episode, updates about the current status of the group were hard to come by.Deru Youmans came across a listing for 'The Retreat' in the Gila National Forest on the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) website, and it sounded amazing. Their recent experience in this remote community had them very concerned for others who might come across a similar listing in the future.Full episode page here.

University of Iowa basketball phenom Caitlin Clark is nearing the end of her collegiate career, and closing in on the all-time NCAA scoring record. That record currently belongs to LSU's “Pistol Pete” Maravich, who scored 3,667 points in just 3 years before leaving for the NBA in 1970.  New York Times sports reporter and Louisiana native Jere Longman tells us more about Clark's journey to take Maravich's record and what this means for women's collegiate sports. This spring, the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience in New Orleans will screen “Rosenwald,” a documentary on the Jewish philanthropist Julius Rosenwald who teamed up with Booker T. Washington to open more than 5,000 schools for Black children in the early 20th century. These screenings coincide with the museum's exhibit on Rosenwald Schools, in which photographer Andrew Feiler traveled throughout the South, documenting the Rosenwald schools that are still standing today — and sharing the stories behind them.In December, we spoke with Feiler about his photography project and combining his artwork with activism. Today, we give that story a second listen. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber.

Divine Madness Running Club boasted some spectacular results in ultramarathons and became known for their excellent support teams and low-impact style of running. But the Boulder, Colorado based group was also notorious for their strange ways, whereby members were expected to follow the directions of their teacher in all aspects of their lives. Full research sources listed here.

Larry and Andrew get into it with NY Times reporter Jere Longman on the future of sports fans. They also get into LA Rams Uniform, Joe Buck and his fan theory, Women's World Cup Soccer.

So once the MLB comes back to games do you think all the fans forget about the Astros stealing signs? I don't think so.Jon Jones we all get stir crazy during this time but we don't go driving at twice the legal limit. Get your life in order man. Too much talent to throw it all away.Jere Longman from NYT wrote a great article on Denise Rife who scored 111 points in an Iowa HS game and was drafted by the Warriors in 1969. Sucks she had no WNBA.

A friendly soccer game on a dusty field in Brazil turns into a horrific act of violence.  Resources:  Article: A Yellow Card, Then Unfathomable Violence in Brazil by Jere Longman and Taylor Barnes for The New York Times, October 31, 2013 "Football Hooliganism" - a Wikipedia listing of instances of violence at soccer matches.  

Curtis Brooner loved Burger King. In fact, he ate there almost every day. So it’s no surprise that on December 15, 2018, Curtis popped into Burger King for a quick bite. But before he left the restaurant, he went to the bathroom. Big mistake. Then Brandi tells us about John du Pont. John was an heir to the du Pont family fortune. He had plenty of money, but hardly any friends. Over time, he developed a passion for wrestling. He created a wrestling facility at his home, and became a sponsor for USA Wrestling. John had always been eccentric, but as years passed, his behavior became more and more concerning. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Man sues for free Burger King for life after saying he got trapped in the bathroom,” Time Magazine Curtis Brooner vs Burger King Corporation “Burger King broke its promise of free-meals-for-life to Portland area customer, lawsuit claims,” By Aimee Green for The Oregonian “Oregon man gets $9,000 settlement after suing Burger King to regain promise of free meals for life,” By Everton Bailey for The Oregonian In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “A LIFE IN PIECES; For du Pont Heir, Question Was Control” by Jere Longman. Pam Belluck, and Jon Nordheimer, The New York Times “Blood on the Mat” by John Greenwald, Time Magazine “John E. DuPont Trial:1997”http://encyclopedia.com “John Du Pont And The Murder Of Dave Schultz: The True Story Behind ‘Foxcatcher’” by Mark Oliver “John du Pont”http://wikipedia.org
