This is the 23rd episode of The Podgoblin's Hat, with Nina and Dave. You can find it on it's own feed wherever you get your podcasts. And just like that, it's the end of the season! We're going out on a story that actually shows us what happens when someone has a problem and wonders "What would Snufkin do?" Sniff is inconsolable over the loss of his favourite toy, a small dog called Cedric, with bejewelled eyes (?!). Even Moominmamma can't help him, so he wanders down to Snufkin's camp and gets told a story. It's a very classic story-shape about belongings not making you happy, but you know what we say? There's nothing wrong with playing the hits well! This story is a real two-hander between Snufkin and Sniff. It really wouldn't be the same without Sniff's many, pertinent, exasperating interruptions. We have a go at filling some plot holes, like: when did Sniff get back from wherever it was he went? Who gave him the toy dog, and why did this put jewels in its eyes? Next season we'll be reading the Moomin comics, so dig out your copies if you want to read along! Our Spirits of the Moomins this week are The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander and Tales of Uncle Remus: The Adventures of Brer Rabbit by Julius Lester. Dave has sneaked three (three!) Spirits of the Podgoblin's hat in this season finale to keep you going until we get back: Cane and Rinse, Girl Mode and Rainbow Road.

Welcome to episode 17 of series 3 where we're talking about how to raise good kids, which involves educating them (and yourself) about diversity, inclusion and consent. Jenni shares an experience she had with her daughter and Lisa talks about raising White boys, who need a lot of education to ensure they are informed enough to reject the White supremacist, heteropatriarchal and ableist messaging they receive from our social construct. We share books and other great resources for parents and caregivers that can support this educational journey. The importance of raising kind, inclusive children who expect to see and exist within diverse communities can't be overstated. The bottom line is that if you don't educate your kids on diversity, inclusion and consent, someone else will undoubtedly show them something different and it will make your job of forming their path to being a good human much harder. Here are some of the educational resource that we use:- 'Let's Talk About Race' by Julius Lester- 'Anti-Racist Baby' by Ibram X. Kendi- 'All Are Welcome' by Alexandra Penfold- 'I am Enough' by Grace Byers- 'The Pronouns Book' by Chris Ayala-Kronos- 'Inclusive Ninja' by Mary Nhin- 'Roxy the Racoon' by Alice Reeves- The Black Curriculum is an excellent resource for people based in the UK - check out their Instagram account @theblackcurriculum as well as at The Black Curriculum- Upgrade Accessibility is a disability rights and justice platform which regularly hosts workshops and events based on disability awareness, as well as on the intersection of LGBTQ+ and disability rights - check out their Instagram account @upgradeaccessibility as well as at Upgrade Accessibility- Stonewall is a UK-based LGBTQ+ charity who provide excellent resources for educating and providing support to children, young adults and parents/caregivers and can be found at Stonewall- The Trevor Project is based in America but is the world's largest crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ young people under the age of 25 and provides education and support to children, young adults and parents/caregivers.

In the last episode we see Rambler perfom in the cafe. Morning comes and he is seated with Lucille who asks where he is going to play tonight. Rambler is reluctant, but he mentions that “he's got to keep moving”, he won't be staying. Part of Rambler hopes that one-day he sees Lucille again, but for now, he must keep moving.
In this episode 1 we read from the book ‘Long Journey Home' by Julius Lester. Story name- ‘Satan on my back'.
Joan Steinau Lester is an award-winning commentator, columnist, and author of critically acclaimed books, including Mama's Child and Black, White, Other. Her writing has appeared in such publications as USA Today, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Tribune, Cosmopolitan, and Huffington Post. Her latest book Loving Before Loving: A Marriage in Black and White chronicles her marriage to the Black writer Julius Lester, and tells the story of a writer and activist fighting for love and justice before, during, and after the Supreme Court's 1967 decision striking down bans on interracial marriage in Loving v. Virginia. Speaking candidly about every facet of her life, Lester illuminates her journey to fulfillment and healing.

Stu Levitan welcomes the social justice activist, educator, award-winning columnist, and author Joan Steinau Lester. Her memoir Loving Before Loving: A Marriage in Black and White is just out from our very good friends at the University of Wisconsin Press. Along with her Madison publisher, Joan also could have joined us as a Madison author, with a Ph D from the fabled UW history department; but, for reasons we'll discuss, she was unable to accept the department's offer. Personally, and professionally, Joan Steinau Lester has been at the forefront of most of the great social justice movements of the last seven decades. As a teenager, she refused to sign an anti-Communist loyalty oath and picketed for civil rights. At 22, she married a Black man, the writer, educator and activist Julius Lester, in 1962, when mixed-race marriages were illegal in 27 states. At 64, she married a White woman when that wasn't legal anywhere. In the late sixties, she was part of an early Women's Liberation group with such prominent feminists as Robin Morgan, Kate Millet, Flo Kennedy, Ti-Grace Atkinson and others. And long before diversity, equity and inclusion were common buzzwords, she used her doctorate in multicultural education from the University of Massachusetts to give anti-racism workshops, then co-found and direct the nonprofit Equity Institute in 1981. Her previous books include the novel Mama's Child, with a foreword by Alice Walker; the young adult novel Black, White, Other; a biography of her friend from Antioch College, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Fire in My Soul; Taking Charge: Every Woman's Action Guide, and The Future of White Men and Other Diversity Dilemmas. Her columns have been published in USA Today, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan and New York Times. She received the National Lesbian and Gay Siegenthaler Award for Commentary on National Public Radio and was a Finalist from the PEN/Bellweather Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction, and for the Arts & Letters Creative Nonfiction award for narrative nonfiction. She lives in Berkeley California with her wife Carole, to whom Loving Before Loving is dedicated. It is a pleasure to welcome to MBB, Dr. Joan Steinau Lester. WORT 89.9 FM airdate - July 5, 2021

We're revisiting and re-releasing some of our favorite conversations while working on Season 6. This wonderful conversation was originally released on July 26, 2019. Well worth listening again. Cheers! **** Michelle and Emily welcome Francesca Passanise to the podcast. they share a delightful Argetinian Cabernet Franc, La Madrid. They have an enlightening conversation as they cover so many topics. Francesca shares her reactions to and perceptions of Puerto Rico after a recent visit there. They talk about Francesca's husband's style of art and when asked about her own artistic style, Francesca reveals she is a writer. She talks about being discouraged from pursuing writing as her career because she was always told she needed to do something that would support her. She chose to study business and marketing and has managed to marry her love of writing with her passion for effecting change in our world. She embraces her 'hopey-changey' part of her personality. The conversation flows naturally into a discussion about leadership differences between men and women, how women have a tendency to undervalue ourselves and our work, and equity vs equality. Francesca talks about her personal efforts to expand the cultural literacy in her children's school by reading to her daughters' class during story time during Black History Month and Women's History Month. She's been doing it for four years. She shares several books that everyone should read. Links to them are on our website http://cliterallyspeakingpodcast.com/season-2-43-flipping-the-script/ Let's Talk About Race by Julius Lester (a St. Louisan) Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls Vol 1 & 2 by Francesca Cavallo & Elena Favilli One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia. They talk about how we hide behind the idea that we are a "polite society" and this irrational fear of making strife isn't helping our country with having open and honest discussions. Francesca shared an incredibly touching story about one afternoon during their reading of One Crazy Summer when a student asked if the book somehow would show them how or give them advice on what to do when you can tell someone is judging you. This leads to a rich discussion on privilege and removing the 'otherness' we apply to people. Francesca recommends working with St. Louis organization, WeStories, to develop tools to help create change in our community. She points to two artists who are creating particularly powerful pieces about racism and "other"ing that we should be watching: Myloan Dinh & Myra Eastman.

In this episode we interview SNCC Veterans Jennifer Lawson and Charles “Charlie” Cobb. They discuss their experiences organizing in rural Mississippi and Alabama with SNCC in the 1960’s at the height of the era we know as the Civil Rights Movement. They discuss working in small towns and rural Southern communities, and connecting with organizing traditions with origins in the everyday resistance to slavery. They each talk about the political evolution of the organization, changes in leadership and the international dimensions of the struggle at the time. Charlie & Jennifer both talk about the lack of contradiction between self-defense and nonviolence, as discussed in Charlie’s book This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed. Jennifer shares her reflections on the roles of women within the organization. Through conversation Lawson and Cobb make visible the pockets of resistance they tapped into in the South, and demystify some of the mythology of the Civil Rights Movement along the way. photo credit (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right): Danny Lyon/Magnum, Julius Lester, Alabama Photographs and Pictures Collection/ADAH, Maria Varela/Takestock.

#15: It's been two weeks since we've last come through to your AirPods, and we couldn't be happier to be back. It's been a heavy week for all of us. Coronavirus is still here, numbers are actually rising in Arizona, but there's an even more important movement happening, #BlackLivesMatter, where we are fighting for justice of police brutality toward the black community. We go through some of our learnings, realizations, how we're progressing forward, creating a new normal and resources you can look to to educate yourself and others. We also recap an controversial racist comment from a prominent Arizona magazine that circulated the internet and created a shitstorm (for lack of a better word) on their Instagram. Here are some of the resources we mentioned in this episode: Video On Argument About Black-On-Black Crime Books: The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn Caught by Marie Gottschalk White Fragility by So You Want To Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein Raising White Kids by Jennifer Harvey How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X.

The black Christian church has long been a cornerstone of African-American family life, political activism, and social change. However, in recent years, some social activists have called into question the relevance of the black Christian church in the lives of millennials and the continuing fight for freedom. Today, we tackle this topic by interviewing Dr. William David Hart, a professor at Macalester College whose work examines the intersection of religion, ethics, and politics. During this conversation we discuss the historical and contemporary role of the church in the black community (20:11), myths and misconceptions about Black religion (23:28), the rise of alternative religious practices within the Black community (25:21), and myths and misconceptions about atheism (34:50). We then discuss the relationship between the Black church and the Black family (40:05), the link between religion and politics (45:30), and the future of the church in the Black community and ongoing freedom movement (53:20). Other Topics Include: 00:30 - Catch up with Ty and Daphne 03:50 - BhD “Oh Lawd” News Segment 17:43 - Introduction of the Topic 18:50 - Learn more about Dr. William D.

Students in my classroom are creating podcasts in which they interview characters from the stories we read. In this particular episode students are interviewing characters from the story Black Cowboy, Wild Horses, by Julius Lester. This story is about a former slave finding his freedom on the open range.
William Hart is Associate Professor of Religion, Ethics, and Politics in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. His areas of academic interest include religion and imperialism, the ethical-political dimensions of religion, African-American religious history, culture and thought, and critical theory of religion. Professor Hart's most recent book, Black Religion: Malcolm X, Julius Lester, and Jan Willis(2008), explores the spiritual dimensions of Malcolm X’s life: his journey from Christianity to Islam, social parasite to “race man,” and libertine to ascetic. It also explores affinities between Malcolm’s spiritual journey and the journeys of Julius Lester and Jan Willis. Earlier publications include the book Edward Said and the Religious Effects of Culture (2000), a study of the distinction between religion and secularism on which Said's cultural criticism is grounded. His current projects include Human Sacrifice: Dying and Killing for God and State, an exploration of human sacrifice in religion and statecraft.
