Spring means baseball is back in my life, and if there's anything that's almost as good as baseball, it's writing about baseball. There is so much good writing about baseball – music, poetry, literature, biography, essay, plays, movie scripts. Something about the combination sport's long history, its leisurely pace, its connection to childhood, its outdoor setting in beautiful weather, its daily rhythm make it such a fruitful topic in American arts and letters. Our guest today, the writer John W. Miller, has entered the pantheon of great baseball writing with his new biography of Earl Weaver, manager of the Baltimore Orioles from 1968 to 1982 and one of the game's most colorful figures ever. The book, which is titled “The Last Manager: How Earl Weaver Tricked, Tormented, and Reinvented Baseball” is so good that it shot up to number 7 on the New York Times bestseller list the week after it was released. And it's not just for baseball fans, either – it's a fascinating snapshot of American culture in the middle of the 20th century and a striking portrait of an almost Shakespearean-level character. John is not only a New York Times bestselling author. He's also a contributing writer to America Magazine and one of the most devoted members of our Jesuit Media Lab community. (He even put the JML in the book's acknowledgments section!) Host Mike Jordan Laskey asked John to tell us about Earl Weaver and to describe his reporting and writing process. They also talked about the spirituality of baseball and biography writing. Get a copy wherever books are sold, and have a great Opening Day.

Your Heard Tell show for Wednesday, June 15th, 2022 is turning down the news cycle noise and getting to the information we need on President Joe Biden writing an official letter to oil and gas executives over the high price of gasoline and the reduced refinery capacity, but what he should do is review his own words, policies, and leadership. We'll talk about the nearly 50 years of book we have on the president should have informed everyone on how he would perform as president, and how his rhetoric would not be matched with accountability. Meanwhile overseas, Russia is still making more money on their oil and gas exports than it is costing them to conduct their war of aggression against Ukraine, we'll talk about what that means for the conflict, and how it shows the true priorities of countries around the world.

Moundsville, directed by David Bernabo and John W. Miller and currently playing on PBS, is the biography of a classic American town: Moundsville, WV (pop. 8,400), on the Ohio River, where Appalachia hits the Midwest. Told through the voices of residents, the film diverts from the well-trod paths – opioids, coal, Trump – to trace the many forces that have buffeted this proud town, diminishing it but also offering new promise and opportunities. In this crossover episode with the Great Ideas Podcast -- which we hope you'll subscribe to -- director and former Wall Street Journal reporter John Miller joins the show to tell us what he learned after a year talking to the people of Moundsville, and what they can teach all of us about the future of America.

Wherein we discuss the topic of fatherhood, especially in light of the many cultural portrayals ancient and modern of less-than-admirable fathers, and the role of the Judeo-Christian conception of God as Father in shaping our expectations.Joseph just finished reading John W. Miller's book, Calling God 'Father': Essays on the Bible, Fatherhood, and Culture, so we decided to talk about it. In a Christian bubble, it's easy to take fatherhood for granted. Outside of that bubble (and even in some parts of that bubble), the conditions for fatherhood are dissipating. We talk about what those conditions are (and reference the as-of-yet-incomplete trilogy The Kingkiller Chronicles to do so, though the reference is in book 2...). Joseph begins by referencing Hesiod's Theogony-- it's been around long enough you can find public domain translations, but you may want to find a bound copy...It's usually one of the first books listed in most 100-greatest-books-of-western-civilization, so it might be worth having...Big picture idea-- fatherhood is a pretty vulnerable cultural feature, and one that we don't often get right. Our modern ideas of fatherhood, and the kind of expectations we have for fathers, can be linked to the influence of Judaism and Christianity, and while they raise the bar for men, they also reassure us that God is the best of all fathers, and He makes up for what is lacking.And feel free to subscribe to this podcast as well as share it with others. Our goal is to produce faithful, formative, and conversation-starting content for Catholic disciples of Jesus who are wrestling to be missionary-minded in their normal, everyday lives-- so if that applies to you or a friend of yours, we're hoping to serve you as best as we're able!
