Earlier this year they both sensed a strong need to offer something like this at Collegeside and out of this cooperation came Proclaim #Ministry Camp. What John and Matt shared is a beautiful testimony to how God works through churches to build and grow His #church. You can find more about Collegeside Church of Christ here: https://collegeside.org

Should Bernie Sanders run in the Democratic primaries in 2024? Bhaskar Sunkara, President of The Nation, says “yes” IF Biden doesn't. Sanders transformed American politics and, Bhaskar argues, he remains a uniquely important figure for Democrats and the left. Plus: can Republicans win control of the Senate? Trump's candidates are the GOP's biggest problem, starting in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin. The Nation's National Affairs Correspondent, John Nichols has our analysis. Also: 20 years before the January 6 attack on the capitol, a Republican mob attacked a central hub of government operations claiming the vote count in the presidential election that year was fraudulent, trying to reverse the results. That was the “Brooks Brothers Riot” in Miami, a Republican effort long before Trump. The Nation's DC Bureau Chief, Chris Lehmann reviews that history.

Hailing from the great plains of Witchita, Kansas, The Embarrassment, like their contemporaries R.E.M., The Replacements, and Husker Du,  helped blaze the trail for what would become college or alternative rock in the early to mid 1980s. Affectionately known as The Embos, their smart, catchy, and quirky songs were a ballast to the moodier sounds of early R.E.M. and the more punkish sounds of the mats and Husker Du.  The band was guitarist Bill Goffrier, lead singer and organist John Nichols, bassist Ron Klaus and drummer Brent Giessmann. Bill stops by Thunderlove Studio to talk about how the band went from a name like The Elastic Wasteband to The Embarrassment and how R.E.M. allegedly had them removed as an opening act - for fear they would outperform the headlining guys from Athens, Georgia.  Keith and Bill talk about the band, its place in history, and the upcoming documentary We Were Famous, You Don't Remember.

This is a special episode because it is a story of a remarkable place and fascinating history, told through the eyes of third generation resident, John Nichols III, whose grandfather helped restore Lake Toxaway to its former glory in the early 1960s. We talk about John's earliest recollections of growing up in Lake Toxaway, living in what is now known as the Greystone, warm days summer & cool nights, lightning bugs, the sounds of nature, and a simpler way of life. There is an atmosphere surrounding Lake Toxaway that in John's words, is nearly indescribable. We also talk about the surrounding communities of Brevard & Cashiers, Gorges State Park, and Panthertown Valley, and how in many ways, the things that drew people to the area in the 1900's like hunting, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, and touring waterfalls, are the same things that attract people to the area today. It's so rare to meet someone who has a direct & deep connection to an area dating back three generations. When you do, especially in these beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, you make time to visit & listen…and that's what I did.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEThe Grande Olde StationHistoric Lake ToxawayHeart of BrevardGorges State ParkPanthertown ValleyMike AndressProducer & Host828-551-9065mike@explorationlocal.com

Maria and guest co-host Jamilah King, managing editor at BuzzFeed News, discuss President Biden's trip to the Middle East, including his visit to Israel and his meeting in Saudi Arabia with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. They also get into the latest January 6th hearing, and the recent protests in Uvalde, Texas.  This episode was mixed by Rosana Cabán. ITT Staff Picks: “Rather than announcing any major initiatives, Biden, who is on a four-day trip to Israel, the occupied West Bank, and Saudi Arabia, seems more like he is headed into the region in search of an exit from it,” writes Murtaza Hussain for The Intercept.   The seventh January 6th hearing focused on confirming that former President Donald Trump was at the center of the attempted coup, writes John Nichols for The Nation.  Al Tompkins reports on why KVUE and the Austin-American Statesman decided to release video footage of law enforcement's response to the mass shootings in Uvalde, for Poynter.
