This week, This Matters is publishing episodes of the Toronto Star's new podcast Small Things Big Climate.    The Star is often inundated with emails from readers asking what they can do to fight climate change. While there are lots of things people can do to lower their personal carbon emissions – and it's important to feel like you're part of the solution – individual action cannot end global warming on its own. So in this episode we take a look at community groups working on scaling up individual action to the neighbourhood level, and ask a former environmental activist turned Member of Provincial Parliament whether writing politicians actually makes a difference. Host: Marco Chown Oved, Climate Change Reporter, Toronto Star Guests: David Langille and Julia Morgan, co-chairs of the Pocket Change Project. Peter Tabuns, former head of Greenpeace Canada and the Ontario NDP's environment critic. To hear more episodes, go to Small Things Big Climate or find it in your podcast feed.

「我要用自己的头脑做武器，在这艰难的世间开辟出一条路来。」在伍尔夫写于上世纪20年代的女性主义名作《一间自己的房间》中，拥有空间是女性实现自主独立的前提，也寄托着性别间社会经济地位平等的理想。时光荏苒，从拥有空间到建造空间，女性建筑师们的出现象征着壁垒的突破。然而，去年10月，关于宾夕法尼亚大学追授林徽因女士建筑学学位的新闻，让这位中国著名建筑家是因身为女性而被宾大建筑系拒绝的过往受到关注，也让我们意识到，这条突破之路远比我们想象得艰难。有更多的杰出女建筑师遭受着偏见，甚至于她们的贡献被忽视，她们存在的痕迹被淡化。 这些女建筑师们是如何被隐没的？本期节目的嘉宾殷宝宁教授正是这样一位去发掘被忽视的女性建筑师历史的人。在她看来，女性主义建筑史不仅是还予被隐没者以公道；重塑过去的意义，也在于能更好地改变现在与想象未来。建筑设计塑造了我们的生活空间，参与了我们的生活活动，也影响了我们对于生活意义的思考。而女性主义的建筑观指向的是一种以人为本的视角，女性建筑师关注细节、重视连结，看见日常生活的具体需要。因此，谈论女性与建筑的意义，不仅是质疑根深蒂固的偏见与不平等、为一种被隐没的性别正名，还在于去实现值得共同追求的价值：关心他者、关心生活的细节，让每一个人都能够平等、有尊严而富足地生活。 这条路向来艰难，但也向来有人为彼此指引，步履不停。 本期的 shownotes 保留了节目中提到的每一位女性建筑师的名字，她们中的一些人在历史长河中或被一笔带过、或完全被隐没。当然，她们需要留下的，不仅只有名字。 本期人物 徐涛，声动活泼联合创始人 殷宝宁，台湾艺术大学艺术管理与文化政策研究所教授兼所长 主要话题 [01:37] 建筑界有变得更平等吗？从林徽因的求学经历聊起 [06:41] 作为历史上第一个室内设计师的女性：Elsie De Wolfe [12:16] 照顾的伦理与阴性思考：女性生命经验在建筑界为何重要？ [14:35] 世界遗产萨伏伊别墅：天才的创意还是灵感的抄袭？（Eileen Gray） [25:52] Julia Morgan，沉默的先锋：用800多栋建筑打破限制的女建筑师 [34:48] 号称「走向共和」的德国建筑名校包豪斯为何限制女生入学 [38:06] Lilly Reich：一把传世之椅背后，是又一位贡献被高度抹煞的女性 [42:44] 建筑界大奖有一双性别偏见的眼（Denise Scott Brown） [44:19] 当下被反复删除的女性建筑师词条 [47:57] 反思建筑界的「造星」传统：是否能用女性主义关怀替代个人英雄叙事？ 相关资料 殷宝宁：《性别与设计——建筑与女性主义的邂逅》 (https://book.douban.com/subject/26299867/) 宾夕法尼亚大学将向林徽因颁发迟到的建筑学学士学位 (https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_24958218) Elsie De Wolfe 介绍 (https://www.sohu.com/a/33986507_235091) 《为什么没有伟大的女艺术家？》 (https://book.douban.com/subject/36183953/?icn=index-latestbook-subject) Eileen Gray 介绍 (https://m.thepaper.cn/baijiahao_8318116) Eileen Gray 的海边小屋「E-1027」以及与柯布西耶的故事 (http://www.iarch.cn/thread-46358-1-1.html) Julia Morgan 介绍 (https://pioneeringwomen.bwaf.org/julia-morgan/) 包豪斯学校的对女性学生的边缘化 (https://www.bbc.com/ukchina/simp/vert-cul-47565461) Lilly Reich 介绍 (https://baijiahao.baidu.com/s?id=1627333813252546496) 有关 Lilly Reich 设计家具的历史的书籍 (https://assets.moma.org/documents/moma_catalogue_278_300199443.pdf) Denise Scott Brown 介绍 (https://www.jiemian.com/article/2549468.html) 女性建筑师维基百科词条被反复删除的事件 (https://placesjournal.org/article/unforgetting-women-architects-from-the-pritzker-to-wikipedia/?cn-reloaded=1) 有关维基百科不公平对待女性建筑师资料的相关书籍 (https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctvct00dx) 扎哈·哈迪德介绍 (https://www.archdaily.cn/cn/798527/ju-jiao-jian-zhu-xi-nu-mo-tou-zha-ha-star-ha-di-de) 张锦秋介绍 (https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Mo5LO4fIOVdjrLJFcvTeUQ) 妹岛和世介绍 (http://www.archcollege.com/archcollege/2018/03/39421.html) 中国建筑中女性的声音 (https://www.archdaily.cn/cn/991885/zhong-guo-jian-zhu-zhong-nu-xing-de-sheng-yin) 群访 | 「女性建筑师」是一个需要被讨论的议题吗？ (https://www.archiposition.com/items/54fe57ce11) 幕后制作 监制：Kiki、六工 后期：赛德 运营：瑞涵 设计：饭团 商务合作 声动活泼商务合作咨询 (https://sourl.cn/6vdmQT) 支持我们，加入新一年的播客创新 2021 年我们发起了「声动胡同会员计划」，这是一个纯支持项目，支持「声动活泼」在播客内容上不断探索和创新。回顾 2023 年，得益于这些支持，「声动活泼」的每档节目都不断突破，不仅荣登苹果中国的年度热门节目榜单，还在 CPA 和喜马拉雅等平台都榜上有名。2024 年，我们也会继续创新，一档全新的投资类节目即将和大家见面，同时也会用更加创新的方式制作新一季「声音特稿」节目。 欢迎 点击链接 (https://sourl.cn/iPpsuJ) 查看我们 2023 年收获和 2024 年内容计划。如果你认同或喜欢我们做的事情，也期待我们不断尝试并产生好内容，欢迎付费支持。 胡同 https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/8/8dd8a56f-9636-415a-8c00-f9ca6778e511/JhkPvKIa.png 关于声动活泼 「用声音碰撞世界」，声动活泼致力于为人们提供源源不断的思考养料。 我们还有这些播客：声东击西 (https://etw.fm/episodes)、声动早咖啡 (https://sheng-espresso.fireside.fm/)、What's Next｜科技早知道 (https://guiguzaozhidao.fireside.fm/episodes)、反潮流俱乐部 (https://fanchaoliuclub.fireside.fm/)、泡腾 VC (https://popvc.fireside.fm/)、商业WHY酱 (https://msbussinesswhy.fireside.fm/)、跳进兔子洞 (https://therabbithole.fireside.fm/) 欢迎在即刻 (https://okjk.co/Qd43ia)、微博等社交媒体上与我们互动，搜索 声动活泼 即可找到我们。 期待你给我们写邮件，邮箱地址是：ting@sheng.fm 欢迎扫码添加声小音，在节目之外和我们保持联系！ 声小音 (https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/8/8dd8a56f-9636-415a-8c00-f9ca6778e511/hdvzQQ2r.png) Special Guest: 殷宝宁.

 On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson heads to San Luis Obispo County to secure top-tier suggestions from three in-the-know locals.  First, Johnson chats with Jason Haas, partner and general manager of Tablas Creek Vineyard in Paso Robles. Haas describes how SLO's unique landscape makes it perfectly suited for producing an array of award-winning wines. “The conditions here are amazing and we have the chance to make something tremendous really every year,” Haas says. The second-generation vintner also gives Johnson a crash course on Tablas Creek's holistic winemaking philosophy before getting into personal recs around Paso Robles.  Next up, Johnson is joined by Jim Allen, director of marketing and communications at Hearst Castle in San Simeon. Allen discusses how the lavish estate came to be, highlighting the fascinating characters behind its inception. “Julia Morgan was a California native, a Bay Area architect. Mr. Hearst was also born in San Francisco, so [Hearst Castle] is a very California-created entity,” Allen notes. He goes on to discuss the incredible attention to detail and artistry that went into building the castle. “The indoor pool has 2 million hand-cut glass tiles from Venice, Italy. It took five years just to do this one swimming pool.” Allen also covers the state park's most popular tours, its celebrity-studded past, and offers insider tips for visitors.  Lastly, Johnson talks to multi-instrumentalist Dan Curcio of the San Luis Obispo-based band Moonshiner Collective. A longtime local, Curcio explains how the area's positive vibe continues to shape his sound. “I've been so inspired by the Central Coast, by California, just the lifestyle here and all the influences that we have around here, both musically and just in the natural surroundings,” he shares. Curcio also breaks out his guitar for a live performance of two originals, “Autumness” and “Good Company.” The local musician then shares some of his favorite stops in Cayucos, Avila Beach, Pismo Beach, and the city of San Luis Obispo

Julia Morgan was a lifelong trailblazer. She was the first woman admitted to study architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first licensed to practice architecture in California. Born in San Francisco and trained in Paris, she developed a distinctive aesthetic that now defines certain regions of California. But only in the last 20 years has her contribution to architecture been fully recognized and celebrated. In 2014, the American Institute of Architects posthumously awarded her its Gold Medal; she is the first female recipient. Victoria Kastner has spent years compiling photographs, interviews, letters, drawings, and diaries—including material never published before—to create a comprehensive portrait of this amazing woman. Of Julia Morgan's remarkable 700 creations, from hotels to churches to private homes, the most iconic is Hearst Castle. She spent 30 years constructing this opulent estate on the California coast for the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, forging a lifelong friendship and creative partnership with him. Together they built a spectacular and perhaps unequalled residence that once hosted the biggest stars of Hollywood's golden age, and that now welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

Julia Morgan is best known as the architect of opulent, eccentric Hearst Castle, but she designed roughly 700 buildings in her 50-year career. From her first commission, the El Campanil bell tower at Mill's college, to the Arts and Crafts Asilomar and the Gothic and Moorish Berkeley City Club, the Oakland-raised architect created many of California's most distinctive and disparate buildings in a time when architecture was an almost exclusively male field. We'll talk with Victoria Kastner, author of “Julia Morgan: An Intimate Biography of the Trailblazing Architect” and we'll hear from listeners: What's your favorite Julia Morgan building?

IT'S SPOOKY SEASON!!! We're so excited to kick off October with Stauney talking about Milicent Patrick, the only female movie monster maker, most known for her design of the Gill-man from the Universal classic horror flick, "The Creature of the Black Lagoon." From growing up on the major architectural site of Hearst Castle to being a part of the first round of female animators ever hired at Disney Animation studios and working on the Chernebog segment of Fantasia, to her work as a special effects makeup artist at Universal, this gorgeous woman, artist, actress, and creator had an incredible artistic legacy that was horrifically cut short by a jealous man with a giant ego... (a horror story all too familiar to us) that left her in obscurity for years!The book talked about in the episode is "The Lady from the Black Lagoon" by Mallory O'MearaEpisodes Like This One: The Science of Women in HorrorFollow us on Instagram @morethanamuse.podcast

Our guest this week is Alexandra Lange, famed architecture and design critic, and author of the brand new best-seller Meet Me by the Fountain: An Inside History of the Mall. In a wide-ranging interview we get Alexandra's perspectives on the history and cultural significant of shopping malls. We dig into the fascinating story of Victor Gruen and how his design ideas shaped the evolution of regional malls for decades. Then we explore how malls began to lose their relevance, particularly as department stores increasingly found themselves stuck in the boring middle. Lastly wonder what's next for malls and what it might take for them to have a remarkable future.But first we give our hot-takes on the latest retail news, including shaky earnings reports from several wobbly unicorns: Warby Parker, Allbirds and The Real Real, contrasting their performance with Yeti's wholesale first growth strategy. We also discuss Signet's fire sale priced acquisition of one of the OG's of DTC, Blue Nile, before wrapping up with Bed, Bath & Beyond's decision to bail on one of its new private brands ("Wild Sage") after its rookie season.GroceryShop discount offer:Valid for Retailers and Brands only, use code RBR1950  to access our special rate / ticket price is $US1950.  Offer code  expires 9/22/22.Past podcast episodes of note:Understanding Warby Parker and Customer-Based Valuation with Dan McCarthyThe Great Wholesale v.

Julia Morgan wasn't just one of the most renowned architects of the 20th century, she was a true pioneer of her profession. She was the first woman to be admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, which was the most important architecture school of its era, as well as the first woman in California to earn an architecture license and eventually the first woman to win the American Institute of Architects' highest honor. Then there's her buildings. She's best known for Hearst Castle, but over her long career she designed hundreds of impressive structures – the Berkeley City Club, Oakland's YWCA, the Asilomar Conference Center, El Campanil at Mills College, and the list goes on and on. As a woman, Morgan didn't always get the recognition she deserved, but in more recent decades, she's been the subject of numerous books, documentaries, and museum exhibits. However, a new book takes a different approach by imagining Julia's early years, as a young woman growing up in Victorian era East Bay. In “Drawing Outside the Lines,” Susan J. Austin tells the story of the architect's formative time at Oakland High School and UC Berkeley during the 1880s and 90s. The book is a work of historical fiction, but Austin spent years on research in order to make the story as realistic as possible. In this episode, Susan J. Austin discusses her favorite Julia Morgan buildings, why she thinks Julia Morgan's story will be relevant for young readers, and some of the famous figures, such as Gertrude Stein and Frank Norris, who make cameo appearances in “Drawing Outside the Lines.” To see photos related to this episode: https://eastbayyesterday.com/episodes/what-made-julia-morgan-different/ East Bay Yesterday can't survive without your support.

Finding a place to buy or rent in Santa Barbara County is more challenging than ever, and it's forcing residents to reconsider whether they can afford to stay. Two local authors have written books about Hearst Castle architect Julia Morgan. Santa Barbara's annual county fair returned this year after two years of pandemic delays. An organization in Carpinteria plans to create murals as a visual testimony to the students of Aliso School and the local Latinx community. Father Ian is tasting flavored beers and sharing his experiences on Playing With Food.

For its 100th anniversary, the secluded San Simeon retreat of publisher William Randolph Hearst is celebrating architect Julia Morgan with a new tour. Actor Pepe Serna has appeared in “Scarface,” “Man from Reno,” “The Jerk,” and more. A documentary about him, “Pepe Serna: Life is Art,” will premiere at the Latino Film Festival in LA on June 4. The new exhibition called “Your Perfect Plastic Heart” focuses on the female body and exploitation of nature. The show “it's not My Music” suggests that music belongs to everyone.

Starting this August, performing an abortion in Oklahoma will be a felony. KCRW checks in with Dr. Rebecca Taub, an OB/GYN who regularly travels to Oklahoma, and now Kansas, to relieve overburdened physicians.  Nearly half of all U.S. OB/GYN residency programs are in states that could ban abortions if Roe v. Wade falls. But abortion care can be applied to other specialties. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been surveilling anyone living in the U.S., from immigrants to citizens, and it can get around state laws that try to protect undocumented people, says a new report. Julia Morgan designed California's iconic Hearst Castle, and hundreds of her buildings have survived earthquakes. She's the focus of a new book by Victoria Kastner. Apple is pulling the plug on the iPod, which came out in 2001. The first version cost some $400. Several generations came out, plus the Mini, Nano, Shuffle, and finally the iPod Touch.

Most people don't know this, but I have had solo and group exhibitions of my artwork around the world! I started out in Paris, then showed my work in berkeley, Washington DC Stockholm, Sweden, and several shows in Taipei, Taiwan, which receives very positive reviews in the press. Also, I might add that I have visited every Major art museum in eastern and western Europe, and in the states. The most I have received so far for a piece of my artwork, if you judge success on those terms, is $1,000, for a scene from Mozart's Don Giovanni, which I watched many times as theater manager for the Julia Morgan theater in Berkeley california. I plan to make nft's of my work in the near future, and my dream is to paint with @johnnyDepp, and @jimcarrey :-) my favorite artists are perhaps the impressionists; Salvador Dali, Frida kahlo - although her subject matter is so somber, depressing and a little disturbing! #Marcelduchamps, Monet, Manet, Degas, Gauguin & Toulouse lautrec are many of my favorites. #UNITETHELEFT!

Ho ho, and indeed ho! In this special festive episode, Mike and Will pull on their wellies and wander straight into Lucky's Grove by H.R. Wakefield. But who's that hiding behind the Christmas tree? Big thanks to Julia Morgan for allowing us to use extracts from her excellent Youtube reading of this story. Show notes: […]

This week on End Credits, we've got tales to astonish, and they're both real! In the back half of the show, we will review Summer of Soul, a massive music event you've probably never heard of. Before that though, we will talk about another new documentary about someone who may have been one of the greatest Canadian athletes of all time, and you haven't hard of *her* either. This Wednesday, November 10, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: INTERVIEW: Julia Morgan, director of Undeniably Young: Nora Young & the Six Day Race. In the 1930s, a Toronto woman named Nora Young proved herself quite the savant when it came to sports, but her ultimate sporting accomplishment was a famous six-day marathon bike race in Maple Leaf Gardens that made American Gladiators look like a game of hopscotch. Former CFRU volunteer Julia Morgan captured Young's story in a new short doc appearing next week at the Guelph Film Festival, and she will talk to us about it for this episode. REVIEW: Summer of Soul (2021). Speaking of documentaries, our feature review this week will focus on a music and cultural event in the summer of 1969 that shaped history and left a lasting impression on everyone who was there to see it in person. Woodstock? No, think 100 miles to the southeast. The Harlem Cultural Festival was held over six weekends in the Summer of '69, and 40 hours of performances by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone and the 5th Dimension were all captured on film and then lost for five decades. So was it worth the wait? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Born in 1872, American architect and engineer Julia Morgan designed hundreds of buildings over her prolific career, famous for her work on incredible structures like the Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California.She was also the first woman to be admitted to the architecture program at l'École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first woman architect licensed in California. But it wasn't until 2014 that she became the the first woman to receive American Institute of Architects' highest award, the AIA Gold Medal, posthumously.In the New Angle: Voice podcast, "Hear from historians, family, colleagues, and the women themselves, how it was to be an architect coming up in the early 20th century. Imagine sitting with these pioneering women, who opened up the magic of the built environment professions to all who had the gifts, grit and persistence to endure."

Imagine sitting with these pioneering women, who opened up the magic of the built environment professions to all who had the gifts, grit and persistence to endure."

Julia Morgan, the first woman architect to be licensed in California, designed over 700 buildings in California including Hearst Castle in San Simeon. Despite her prolific career her architectural genius was overlooked by history for almost 100 years before she posthumously earned the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal. Morgan was the first woman to be admitted to the architecture program at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. She designed many buildings serving women and girls, including a number of YWCAs, Women's Clubs and buildings for Mills College. She pioneered the use of reinforced concrete in many of her buildings, a material that proved to have superior seismic performance in the 1906 and 1989 earthquakes. Julia Morgan's almost forgotten story has been lovingly researched and passed down over the years by a remarkable linage of “Keepers” and is chronicled in “Finding Julia Morgan,” the pilot episode of New Angle: Voice, a podcast about the lives and careers of pioneering Women in Architecture. Produced by Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation, directed by Cynthia Phifer Kracauer, AIA, and radio producer Brandi Howell.

Welcome to New Angle: Voice. Episode 1 takes us on an earthquaking tour from San Francisco to Paris and back, with Julia Morgan (1872-1957), the first woman to attend the architecture program at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and the first woman to receive the AIA Gold Medal. Special thanks in this episode to Brandi Howell, Alexandra Lange, Julia Donoho, Karen McNeill, Victoria Kastner, Karen Fiene, Justin Hoover, Amy Hart and Jim Parks, the women of the Monday Club of San Luis Obispo, Laura Sorvetti, Mark Wilson, and Aislinn McNamara.

Welcome back to The Chaise Lounge! This week, Nick chats with Brigitte Coleman, design director at Pembrooke & Ives in New York City.Brigitte grew up in California, and always knew she wanted to move to New York. She also knew she wanted to be an architect, getting her inspiration from Julia Morgan, the architect behind Hearst Castle. After graduating from Sci Arc in Los Angeles, she moved to New York and worked in hospitality for ICRAVE and Rockwell. Currently she is a design director at Pembrooke & Ives.Brigitte's situation caught us by surprise. She is not owner of a design firm or company, and is not an independent designer. Rather, she leads her own team in one of 6 studios within a larger firm specializing in interior architecture. She gets to pick her team members, and she is very selective, as teambuilding is crucial to her.The idea of working under a large firm may turn most designers away at first, but there are advantages that will be appealing to others. Brigitte focuses only on the design work. Things like accounting, working with clients, all that is handled by the company. So if you want to be a designer but don't like to deal with clients or invoices, you may want to consider an opportunity like this! I'm very specific on who I hire. Because us - design directors - run our teams differently, we have different management styles, different expectations, so I prefer to handle hiring myself.

Curt draws inspiration from Traditional-Modernist architecture, and innovation, blurring the boundaries between the natural world outside and the created world inside.   Curt's design combines the deep knowledge that comes with over 30 years of experience, and an innate ability to make each space a personal reflection of its inhabitants.   He also masterfully brings these early "green" sensibilities into the 21st century, and his work has been recognized in numerous architectural journals, including Architectural Record and California Home & Design.   Curt's commissions have included Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and the renovation of a historical home by renowned architect, Julia Morgan.   For more information, you can visit: https://www.modernhousearchitects.com/ (https://www.modernhousearchitects.com/)

William Randolph Heart’s old ranch headquarters was constructed in 1930. Hearst and architect Julia Morgan’s classic, Moorish/Mission Revival structure, dubbed the Hacienda or Milpitas Ranch House, was sold to the U.S. Army in 1940. The Hacienda initially served as operations headquarters for Fort Hunter Liggett until the base facilities were constructed in the dawning days of WWII. Today the Hacienda remains as a treasured historic icon on Army base tucked in a remote valley in the Santa Lucia Mountains in southern Monterey County adjacent to Mission San Antonio . Come along and join correspondent Tom Wilmer and Lisa Cipolla, historian and Cultural Resources Program Manager at Army Garrison Fort Hunter Liggett for a tour of the Hacienda and tales from the past. Hearst and his friends such as Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, Marian Davies, Will Rogers, and Errol Flynn would come to party at the Hacienda. Today you can book an overnight stay in one of the historic rooms where the ranch hands

She Builds Podcast is a show featuring the seldom told stories of women who build; women whose worth is not taught in architecture school, but who have shaped the industries of architecture, construction, and development throughout history. The podcast was started by Jessica Rogers, Lizi Raar and Norgerie Rivas, three friends who, after graduating from Syracuse University School of Architecture together, wanted to fill in the gaps in their education and share those with others. Episodes have featured Norma Merrick Sklarek, Julia Morgan, Jane Drew, Eileen Gray, Zaha Hadid, and many more!  In this episode, Jessica, Lizi, and Norgerie share the origin story of She Builds, their process for researching and putting together the show, and the most interesting things they’ve learned about the women they’ve featured. We also talk about the importance of seeing others like yourself in the profession, and how architecture history curricula are still stuck in their old male-dominated Eurocentric ways, but that this might slowly be changing.

Queens of the Mines features the authentic stories of gold rush women who blossomed from the camouflaged, twisted roots of California. Today’s episode is a Flash Forward, to 1918.In the International Women’s day episode, In one of the stories, I mentioned the life of the architect Julia Morgan who’s mother Eliza was the daughter of Albert O. Parmelee, a cotton trader who I called a self-made millionaire. I want to state that no white man’s millions from the cotton trade at that time, were self made. I am embarrassed that I did not catch what I wrote. It is obvious that the millions made in the cotton trade were built off of the sweat of enslaved men and women.  When you hear about white privilage, this is an example. People today are still benefeting from the fortunes that thier ancestors had made by expoliting other humans. The wealth, security and lifestyle some have inherited, is privilaged. At the time of recording this podcast, there are just under 200,000 humans affected by COVID 19.

Part 5 of 5 of the "What Can Americans Teach Europeans" series Snobby Europeans love to say that Americans have “no cuisine, no culture, no history.” Let’s refute this belief. We’ll begin with food. First, Americans brought hamburgers and Coca-Cola to the world. The French (and many others) will immediately sniff and say, “That doesn’t count.” Really? And foie gras does? That’s a dish that is prepared by force-feeding a poor duck. Now that’s really classy and sophisticated. Big Macs start looking like haute cuisine. Moreover, America’s unique cuisine doesn’t end with a cheeseburger and a Coke. We’ve either invented or popularized: banana splits brownies buffalo wings cheesesteaks corn dogs cotton candy corn on the cob doughnuts fried chicken fudge garden burgers grits hot dogs ice cream cones Jell-O macaroni and cheese mashed potatoes onion rings pancakes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches pecan pie popcorn Popsicles potato chips Rice Krispie treats root beer float shoofly pie sloppy joe submarine sandwiches the Twinkie. Not only does this list prove that Americans have plenty of dishes that are uniquely ours, but this list also explains why we are so incredibly fat. Obviously, American cuisine isn’t the most nutritious cuisine on the planet. The point is that we invented plenty of dishes. Besides, it’s impossible to find any national cuisine that is 100 percent healthy. Since the Japanese live the longest, they have arguably the best diet around. However, even the Japanese eat plenty of deep-fried foods and white rice. And they often wash it down with beer or sake. Yes, Americans have one of the least healthy diets on the planet; on the other hand, I’ve never found a country that can make salads that are as delicious as the ones you can find in California. Finally, America is better than any other country at welcoming (and eating) exotic food from all over the world. Try finding non-Italian cuisine in Italy. The other insult Europeans like to fling at Americans is that we have “no culture.” Really? That’s funny because it seems that no other country does a better job of exporting its culture than America does. It’s hard to go anywhere on the planet and meet people who do not know about American music, television, books, movies, sports, and cuisine (which includes the fast food it invented). Cultural snobs will say all that doesn’t count and that it’s not real culture. Who decided that? Why is the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark not as culturally significant as Schindler’s List? They are both masterpieces (and they happen to both be directed by the same American). Is Michael Jordan not as important as Roger Federer, the Swiss tennis player? Is Elvis less important than Mozart? If American TV is so bad, why do I see it in every country I go to? It’s hard to go anywhere and not see The Discovery Channel. Every major country copies American Idol and other popular TV shows. The world copies American culture. The copying of American culture is so pervasive that most people who complain about “globalization” are really complaining about “Americanization.” Snobs insist this is all “low culture.” First, that’s arrogant and subjective, but let’s play along. If you want “high culture,” then consider American writers (Twain, Fitzgerald, Poe, Thoreau, T.S. Eliot, Kerouac, Tennessee Williams), American fashion designers (Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Levi Strauss), American visual artists (O’Keefe, Pollock, Warhol, Rockwell, Ansel Adams, the sculptors of DC’s monuments), American composers (Irving Berlin, Scott Joplin, Philip Glass, George Gershwin, John Williams), American chefs (Emeril, Nathalie Dupree, Alice Waters, Julia Child, Anthony Bourdain), and American architects (Julia Morgan, Buckminster Fuller, Frank Lloyd Wright). If you admire skyscrapers, remember that Americans were the first to make those too. In short, Americans have culture—in both the “high” and “low” flavors. Finally, the last put down that Europeans lobs at Americans is that America has “no history.” Sadly, this insults the Native Americans more than anyone else. Tell the descendants of the Incas, Mayans, and Aztecs that they have no history. Tell the Native Americans in North America that they have no history when most historians estimate that they’ve been running around America ever since they crossed the land bridge near the Bering Strait 12,000 years ago. Several Northern European countries weren’t even populated until 8,000 years ago. American history, therefore, is at least 4,000 years older than the Scandinavian and Baltic history. If you need impressive structures to believe that a country has “history,” then visit the archaeological remains in Monks Mound, Taos, and Chaco. Or visit Teotihuacan, Tikal, and Machu Picchu in Central and South America. Besides, many of Europe’s impressive buildings are only a few hundred years old. Boston’s Faneuil Hall, built in 1743, isn't much younger than many of Europe's most treasured buildings. The dirty little secret that few Europeans will talk about is that many of their “old” buildings were recently reconstructed from scratch. For example, Warsaw and Dresden look like old cities, but all their buildings are younger than Disneyland. Although Eurasians were better at documenting their ancient history than Americans were, it doesn’t mean that Americans don’t have any history. It just means you need to look a bit harder, but it’s there. At best, a few Europeans countries claim that they started in the seventh century, but many were born around the eleventh century. However, these “nations” were fragile and had far more pronounced regional identities than national ones. They weren’t like modern nations today, but rather fiefdoms and small territories clumped together in a quasi-union. Even today, European countries are more regionally focused than nationally focused. In other words, 500 years ago European nations were not much different than the American nations of the Aztecs, Incas, Comanche, and Sioux. Just like Europeans, Native Americans had a hierarchical government, languages, and culture. It’s incredibly Euro-centric (and ignorant) to argue that American history started with the arrival of the Europeans. Yet that’s exactly what many Europeans implicitly do when they say “America has no history.” That’s like Turks saying that European history started when the Ottomans invaded the Balkans 500 years ago. The Slavs would be furious to hear that. The Turks displaced, killed, and mixed with Slavs just like Europeans killed, displaced, and mixed with Native Americans. Some Europeans backpedal out of this argument by saying, “We’re not saying that the American continent has no history, just that America, the country, is young and doesn’t have much history.” And your country does? Apart from Iceland, America has the oldest government in existence. Most European countries formed new governments and new constitutions less than 70 years ago. I hope this shuts up snobs throughout the world who keep spreading the stupid idea that America has “no cuisine, no culture, and no history.” Although I’ve been picking on Europeans, other people are also guilty of promoting this idea. Even Americans do it. It’s time we educate those who are ignorant. In short, I’m not asking anyone to like American cuisine, culture, or history. I’m just asking everyone to stop believing that we don’t have any. Conclusion of the five-part series on What Americans Can Teach Europeans Europeans are right to criticize America’s foreign policy and the CIA because both can be aggressive and unfair. However, let’s give the American empire credit for being the most benign empire ever. Let’s also admit that the CIA doesn’t know and control everything. Similarly, Europeans have a fair point when they say that Americans are fake, ignorant, and a bit low-brow culturally. However, when compared to typical Europeans, we’re not that bad. Pass this on to anyone who tries to argue otherwise. And tell them that a half-French, half-Chilean person wrote it—someone with no American blood in him. Europeans have much to teach Americans, which is why I’ve written a 740-page book that captures the lessons from Eastern Europe. However, this article series is for Europeans, so they can learn a bit more about America and have a more realistic perspective of the United States. Lastly, do Americans have five criticisms about Europeans too? No. Just one. We wish Europeans would catch up to the rest of the world cultures by being a bit more open, warm, friendly, and smiling. Have a nice day! In case you missed it, read part 1 of the What Americans Can Teach Europeans article series.  This is an excerpt from the Appendix of The Hidden Europe: What Eastern Europeans Can Teach Us. Although this article is filed in Western Europe, its message is for Eastern Europeans and everyone else on the planet who believes these five American myths. For those who worry that fanatical American patriots have brainwashed me, don't worry. About 99% of my upcoming book is about what Eastern Europeans can teach Americans (hence, the title). I'm simply sharing the 1% of my book that argues the contrary point. Please read the Introduction to The Hidden Europe to get the complete picture.

In the early 1900s, the population of Southern California exploded, and the cities grew at such a rapid pace that builders could hardly keep up. Among those who settled in the area were ten architects looking to make their marks on the world. Claud Beelman, a man who never received a college degree, would go on to design the Elks Lodge in Los Angeles. Albert C. Martin, architect of Grauman's Million Dollar Theater, founded a company that is still going strong more than one hundred years later, and Julia Morgan, the first woman architect licensed in California, was hired by William Randolph Hearst to design the Examiner Building. Join author Antonio Gonzalez as he tells the stories of the Architects Who Built Southern California.

Author Gay Toltl Kinman is my first children's mystery writer, with ten books so far in that arena. But she is also a playwright, a teacher, and an incredibly prolific writer of both fiction and nonfiction. We talk about so many interesting things, I'll see if I can squeeze them all in the show notes. First off, here is Gay's Author Page on Amazon and here is the link to some pics of Gay on her many adventures -- including one taken in Alaska by the real Alison, the inspiration for her series. And let's not forget to link to Hearst Castle, the inspiration for her first YA novel, Wolf Castle (fka Castle Reiner).  Gay's second mystery series for children, The Adventures of Lauren MacPhearson, is also inspired by another granddaughter. Both the real and fictional Laurens barely spoke at all, and yet both have had marvelous adventures. For more information on Elective Mutism (now called Selective Mutism), check out the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Gay worked with miniature books at the spectacular Huntington Library, and that experience was the inspiration for The Mystery of the Missing Miniature Books. If you like mysteries where you learn something new, this one fills the bill. I had never imagined there were so many rare and antique books under four inches tall. Here's a link to the Huntington's own collection, but if you want more details, check out the Miniature Book Society. It's impossible to talk about children's mysteries without a nod to Carolyn Keene. Both Nancy Drew and The Dana Girls mysteries were written under that name. And I gave a shout-out to Shoshona Freedman. When we talked about Gay's work as a playwright, she gave a shout-out to South Coast Rep and Cecilia Fannon. Here is a link to the video The Read, the cold reading Gay talks about, of her play on Grace Nicholson. Up next is her book on women heroines, featuring never-before-published material from letters and journals, and includes a vignette on Julia Morgan, architect of the Hearst Castle. Which brings us back full circle to Gay's original inspiration. We did it! As always, if you'd rather read than listen, here is a transcript. Enjoy! -- Laura Transcript of Interview with Gay Toltl Kinman Laura Brennan: My guest today is Dr. Gay Toltl Kinman. Her career is nothing short of epic: ten children’s books, a YA gothic novel, several adult mysteries, two nonfiction books, numerous short plays and short stories, three Agatha Award nominations and an EPPIE win. Add to that over one hundred and fifty articles in professional journals and newspapers, book reviews, a children’s book column, a teaching load that includes law, library science and writing, and I simply don’t know how she has time to chat with me. But I’m glad she does. Gay, thank you for joining me. Gay Toltl Kinman: Well, thank you for asking me. LB: I barely know where to start here, so let's first talk about you. You have a Master of science in Library Science, right? GTK: Right. LB: Did you always want to be a writer? GTK: Yes, I did. Because my mother was also. But it seemed to me so lofty and esoteric to say that I wanted to be a writer, so I don't think I ever said that I wanted to be anything specific because I didn't really know what I wanted to do. But I knew eventually I wanted to write. LB: What was the impetus there, for that first book? GTK: I was reading a lot of Gothic novels at the time. And I had an idea for a story, because I like Hearst Castle very much and we been up there a few times, and I just thought that whole setting was so fantastic. And I was working full time, and I said well I'm going to put aside Saturday morning and I'm going to write. I tried to do that but it's just impossible. So I did write it. It was originally called Castle Reiner, and then we changed it with the second publisher of the book, we changed it to Wolf Castle because it involves wolves. So I wrote that,

In author-playwright Mary Spletter’s world premiere, Arches, Balance and Light, the East Bay playwright takes on a difficult, if not impossible, task—telling the personal behind-the-scenes life story of the legendary Julia Morgan, California’s first license female architect. Why is that so impossible? Well, though much is known of Morgan’s professional career and long list of accomplishments—including the design of Hearst Castle and over 700 others—almost nothing is known of Morgan’s real personal life. She stands amongst history’s most notoriously secretive and private people. It hasn’t stopped others from trying. A few years ago, playwright Belinda Taylor brought out her own attempt, the well-received “Becoming Julia Morgan,” which managed to stitch the bare facts of Morgan’s life into a captivating adventure tale, while avoiding speculation on its subject’s private life, loves and rumored secret scandals. Spletter takes a very different approach. In her somewhat convoluted play-within-a-play-within-a-play, now running at Ross Valley Players, Spletter has blended snippets of solid, historical reality with a kind of juicy, fanciful “fan fiction,” making up from whole cloth a series of possible explanations for Morgan’s deeply private demeanor, all of which results in an entertaining if somewhat shaggy-doggish fantasy romance that is rich with emotion, but absent the kind of ‘Wow! I-Never-Knew-That’ kick that comes from watching actual, fact-driven biography. That said, what Spletter and director Joe Manley have created, with the contributions of a charming cast, is a delightfully well-constructed bit of theatrical misdirection, though perhaps saddled with a few too many bits of clichéd humor, as in the moment a young Julia Morgan loses her temper and angrily shouts that she never loses her temper. The rest of the script is too clever to deserve moments so hackneyed and silly. Also, and this may just be a matter of taste, I’d suggest the play is perhaps encumbered by one too many “framing devices.” As the show begins, Julia Morgan’s somewhat prickly spirit—played by an excellent Ellen Brooks—appears on stage alongside a chorus of ghosts, addressing the audience with a quick summary of her life, followed by the “memory” of a visit from an elegant young Parisian named Marguerite, played with watchful intensity by Anastasia Bonaccorso. The visitor, we quickly learn, is intent on determining whether or not Julia is her mother. In response, Julia—aided by those spirits—describes her early days as a young student in Paris in the late 1800s, her younger self played with plucky charm, and considerable guts, by Zoe Swenson Graham, who stepped into the role just three days before opening. Initially denied entrance to a prestigious French architecture school, the determined Julia finds an enemy in the old-fashioned University director played with austere harumphery by John Simpson), while finding a friend and mentor in Victor, the amiable middle-aged teacher who sees Julia’s potential as a designer, and possibly a bit more. Victor is played with openhearted charm by Robin Schild. Revealing anything else that happens would spoil the surprises, of which there are many. As already stated, it is unlikely that any of what unfolds actually happened, of course. But around the edges of Spletter’s pleasantly quirky drama—basically a love story, wrapped in a mystery, disguised as a memory—the writer’s obvious admiration for Julia Morgan’s remarkable legacy is brought to vivid, infectious life. ‘Arches, Balance and Light’ runs Thursday–Sunday through March 6 at Ross Valley Players. www.rossvalleyplayers.com
