Welcome to Glenn Robison's Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can't not tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and '30s. Do you know who this fellow is? He’s a young Jimmie Revard, member of the Osage Nation and his is one of five birthdays we’ll be celebrating on this week’s “all-birthday” edition of Rapidly Rotating Records.

The other birthday segments this week are for Rosa Henderson, Percy Chandler, Ray Herbeck and George Wilton Ballard.

Send us a textThis week, I'm doing something different.After my conversation with Doug Kaplan pollster, public perception expert, and someone who's spent years studying how Americans think. I walked away with more than just answers. I walked away with perspective.In today's episode, I'm unpacking the biggest lessons I took from our conversation:• Why people often believe what they feel, not what they knowand how that shapes everything from politics to everyday disagreements.• The real reason it's so hard to change someone's mind(and why evidence alone almost never does it).• How to talk to people you disagree with—without losing yourselfDoug gave me one line that genuinely shifted how I see conflict and communication.• Why conversations matter now more than everand what our dialogue actually says about us as a society.• The hopeful partYes, there is something hopeful here. And Doug gave me a new way to look at the future of human conversation.This is a personal, reflective episode, more focused on the “conversation beneath the conversation.”My goal? To make sure every listener walks away with something they can actually use in their own life.If you heard the interview, this will deepen it. If you didn't, this will give you the heart of it.Either way, I hope it encourages you to talk with people, not at them.Support the show

Get Carla's Book here: https://carlakaplan.com/troublemaker-the-fierce-unruly-life-of-jessica-mitford.html The second youngest of the famously beautiful—and brilliant—“Mitford Girls,” Jessica Mitford was brought up by an eccentric English family in the bucolic Cotswolds. She and her sisters were raised to marry well and reproduce their class. Five of them enthusiastically embraced that path and went on to lead glamorous lives that have been the subject of countless books and movies, with more on the way. And then there was Jessica... Jessica—known as Decca—broke the Mitford mold. At the age of nineteen, she ran away from a world of wealth and privilege to fight fascism in the Spanish Civil War. She survived war; her husband, Esmond, did not, leaving her to raise their then-unborn child alone. Undaunted, Decca became an American Communist and, in mid-life, pioneered a witty and wildly popular style of writing which placed her at the heart of the social struggles of her day. A celebrity in the civil rights, free speech, antiwar, and prison abolition movements, she relentlessly pursued both fairness and joy, injecting humor into all her political work and encouraging the activists she influenced to do the same. She left her mark on celebrities too, including famed baby doctor Benjamin Spock and best friend Maya Angelou. Decca's anti authoritarian irreverence had an impact that was broad and profound.

It's not quite accurate to say that Hester Kaplan's father Justin Kaplan was a man of few words because Justin Kaplan was a man of many. His first book, a biography of Mark Twain published in 1966, won both the Pulitzer and the National Book Award, a debut that ensured Kaplan would enjoy a long and prestigious career as an author and editor. It was an idyllic life in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that he shared with his wife Anne Bernays, also a novelist, and their three daughters.But Hester doesn't remember her father ever looking her in the eyes or letting any of his three kids call him ‘Dad,' not out of any cruelty or neglect, but more of a mysterious inability to go there. Hester remembers the steady clickety clack of his typing behind the study door as a child as he wrote, his quiet retreat in a household filled with estrogen, and craved the connection over his own memories of growing up that were never revealed.Even after Hester became an author herself, she had never read any of her father's work - nor had he read hers. But after his death in 2014, Hester embarked on a new book, TWICE BORN: Finding My Father in the Margins of Biography (available now), wherein she biographs the biographer, unearthing not only the parallels between Joe/Justin's interior life and those of the literary giants he memorialized, but also finds intimacy in her memories of a surprisingly tender man who eschewed sentimentality but nevertheless always had a chestnut for the people he loved.

In this podcast is an interview with Dr. Carla Kaplan, author of the biography "Troublemaker: The Life and Times of Jessica Mitford." The conversation centers on the extraordinary life of Jessica "Decca" Mitford, one of the famous (and famously eccentric) Mitford sisters. Jessica "Decca" Mitford was an aristocratic British rebel who became a formidable American left-wing activist and muckraking journalist. Born into the famously eccentric Mitford family—where her sisters included a Nazi sympathizer and a fascist—Decca rejected her life of privilege to join the Communist Party in the United States. As the author explains, Decca was a "biographer's gift": fiercely principled, incredibly hard-working, and gifted with a brilliant sense of humor that she used as a powerful tool for activism. Her training in the Communist Party, particularly on the West Coast, taught her to listen to marginalized communities, shaping her into a highly effective and empathetic ally in the civil rights movement. Dr. Carla Kaplan is a distinguished scholar in American literature, women's writing, African American literature, and feminist theory. She holds the Davis Distinguished Professorship in American Literature at Northeastern University and founded the Humanities Center to encourage diversity and interdisciplinary dialogue. Her academic career includes roles at Yale University, the University of Southern California, Wellesley College, and the University of Illinois. Dr. Kaplan also teaches writing through various arts councils and writers' centers. She earned a Ph.D. in English from Northwestern University.

This week on Counsel Culture, I sit down with Dr. Beth Kaplan, author of Braving the Workplace, for an honest conversation about belonging, leadership, and what it really means to show up as yourself at work. We explore the tension many people feel between authenticity and fitting in, and why so many professionals silently trade pieces of who they are just to feel accepted. Dr. Kaplan shares practical insights on self-awareness, boundaries, and the role leaders play in creating environments where people feel seen, not just managed. This episode is a reminder: belonging isn't about blending in. It's about being valued for who you are. If you're a leader, aspiring leader, or someone simply trying to navigate culture with integrity, you'll want to hear this one. What You'll Learn Why belonging is deeply personal—not one-size-fits-all How conformity quietly erodes confidence and connection The role self-awareness plays in shaping how we show up The power of vulnerability in leadership How thoughtful, intentional care builds trust and performance Why boundaries and non-negotiables matter in protecting authenticity This show is dedicated to Dr. Kaplan's journey, this conversation is what we make it, this, is Counsel Culture.

Send us a textA vaccine built for a virus might be whispering a powerful message to cancer care. We dig into a new Nature paper suggesting that mRNA COVID shots could enhance the effectiveness of checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy—especially in non‑small cell lung cancer and melanoma—by acting as an immune alarm that sharpens anti‑tumor responses. The data is retrospective, not causal, so we break down why the signal is exciting, where confounders can hide, and what the next generation of trials must test: timing, vaccine type, biomarkers, and who stands to benefit most.From there, we switch gears to the first weeks of a dog's life. A small but detailed study of Australian breeders maps nine practical socialization steps—novel objects, varied surfaces, calibrated sound exposure, hands‑on handling, human visitors, other animals, off‑site trips, car rides, and rotating environments—that build confident, adaptable companions. We compare three rearing strategies, from uniform protocols to individual puppy plans, and connect these choices to fewer fear issues, better training outcomes, and smoother vet and grooming visits down the line.Journalist and author Melanie Kaplan joins us to share Hammy's story—a beagle rescued from a research lab—and the deeper reporting behind her book, Lab Dog: A Beagle and His Human Investigate the Surprising World of Animal Research. We talk about why beagles became the default lab dog, the emotional toll and resilience of retired animals, and the promising rise of non‑animal alternatives like organs‑on‑chips, human cell models, and computational toxicology. With FDA and NIH signaling support for methods that are more humane and more predictive, there's a real path to better science with less harm.If this conversation moved you or made you think, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves science and animals, and leave a quick review to help others find us.Links to Melanie's Book and SocialsHere is the link to all our socials and stuff!!!Support the showFor Science, Empathy, and Cuteness!Being Kind is a Superpower.

Send us a textIn this episode of Kyle Talks, I sit down with Doug Kaplan, founder of Kaplan Strategies and a veteran public opinion pollster, to dive deep into what really drives people's beliefs — and how we can talk to one another more thoughtfully. We explore the tension between data and lived experience, what it takes to persuade without dehumanizing, and why understanding public perception matters in every part of our lives.Doug shares lessons from his career in polling thousands of campaigns, explains how he separates meaningful signals from public noise, and walks us through his perspective on the power of respectful dialogue — even when we strongly disagree.Key Themes / Talking Points:The real psychology behind how opinions are formed (emotion vs. information)The role of social media in dividing or connecting peopleHow to interpret polling data in a way that doesn't strip away humanityWhy “changing minds” isn't just about winning arguments — it's about understanding peopleLessons from public opinion work that apply in business, leadership, and cultureWhat gives Doug hope about the future of public conversationWhy You Should Listen: If you've ever wondered why people believe what they do, or how to talk to someone with a totally different worldview, this episode will give you fresh insights and practical wisdom.

In this episode of Clover, I get to catch up with my longtime friend and powerhouse media executive, Tracy Kaplan, and her “hodgepodge” career that turned out to be a masterclass in building a bold, non-linear path in media, tech, and podcasts.Tracy walks us through her journey from WGBH and ABC News to CBS Interactive, SnappyTV, Twitter, TuneIn, Patreon, Tenderfoot TV, and now Courier Newsroom, all while launching her own company, Small But Mighty Media, and creating The 10 News, an award-winning news podcast for kids. Along the way, she shares how she spots the real inflection points in media (from mobile video to podcast subscriptions to now AI), builds durable partnerships with platforms like Apple and Spotify, and refuses to let imposter syndrome keep her from jumping into the next big thing.We also dig into the business side: subscription models, monetization beyond ads, what actually grows a podcast audience, and how to lead high-pressure teams through constant change without burning everyone out.In this episode, you'll learn:How to turn a “hodgepodge” career into a strategic advantage and deliberately collect the skills and experiences you're missing instead of chasing a straight line.How to spot the next wave in media and tech by staying curious, observing real people's behavior (hello, commuters watching video in Japan), and forcing yourself to experiment with new tools like AI before you feel “ready.”Practical ways to move into a new lane—before you're an expert, including how Tracy taps her network, asks smart questions, and leverages subject-matter experts to fill her own gaps.A clear breakdown of podcast monetization today—ads, Apple/Spotify subscription channels, Patreon-style membership, and even donations and fiscal sponsorship—and how to think about diversifying your revenue so you're not at the mercy of one market.How Tracy built and scaled The 10 News for kids, including the real origin story (NPR in the school pickup line + political ads on YouTube) and the tactics she used to secure high-caliber guests like Dr. Fauci.What makes a partnership last in a fickle industry, from being radically responsive and direct, to making every deal a “win-win” instead of a zero-sum transaction.Tracy's leadership philosophy in high-pressure environments—how she pushes her team to grow while still rolling up her sleeves, taking on grunt work when needed, and making sure no one is left to fail alone.Hard-won career advice for women in media and podcasting, including why allies inside and outside your company matter, how to recognize when it's time to leave a role you once loved, and why tearing other women down is a long-term losing strategy.Her big blue-sky vision for helping kids and families better understand the world—and why she dreams of a “domestic Peace Corps” style program that gets people outside their bubbles and into each other's communities.If you've ever worried that your career looks “messy” on paper, or felt behind on the latest shifts in media, this conversation will give you both a roadmap and a serious permission slip to build something beautifully non-traditional.

By now, many, if not most of you have heard that ICE has been secretly planning to build some kind of jail or detention facility in Newport here on the Oregon Coast.The community pushback has been immediate, fierce, inspiring, and seemingly successful, at least so far.This is a developing story, and only one skirmish in a wider war to protect our communities from these masked and lawless thugs.The Newport City Council has been proactive, out front, and clear in their staunch opposition to ICE, so I invited Newport Mayor Jan Kaplan on to the show to talk through what's going on with the facility, the huge groundswell of resistance, and what comes next.Note: this interview was recorded on the morning on November 17th.My email is coastrangeradio@gmail.com, I would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, guest ideas, all of that.Show Notes:https://lincolnchronicle.org/evidence-mounts-for-possible-immigration-detention-center-in-newport-as-two-companies-advertise-for-work-there/https://lincolnchronicle.org/my-dad-was-picked-up-sept-17-newport-girl-tells-packed-council-hearing-on-how-immigration-sweep-has-affected-her-family/https://www.instagram.com/coastrangeradio/
Dr. Craig A. Kaplan advocates for a transformative shift in how artificial intelligence is designed and integrated into society, urging the move from black-box, inscrutable models toward architectures founded on transparency and collective intelligence. Drawing from his experience in software quality, Kaplan emphasizes that integrating safety and ethical considerations into AI at the design stage is far more effective—and necessary—than relying on reactive fixes once systems are already in use. He envisions a future where AI systems are developed with built-in safeguards, operated through a democratic interplay of multiple agents, both human and artificial, ensuring their actions and decision-making processes are visible, auditable, and aligned with human values. Kaplan sees the current race to develop ever-more advanced AI as inevitable but contends that the most prudent and ultimately successful path involves combining safety, transparency, and economic incentive. He advocates for collective intelligence systems where the synergy between humans and machines can be harnessed not only for superior outcomes but also for embedding scalable ethical frameworks. By democratizing the implementation of values and ensuring that millions of human perspectives are built into the AI's operations, the risks of narrow, unrepresentative control are minimized, and the promise of beneficial superintelligence becomes far more attainable. For organizations and individuals seeking to be at the forefront of safe, effective, and ethical AI development, engaging with Kaplan's methods and vision can be transformative. To learn more about implementing collective intelligence designs for superintelligence, fostering transparency, and leading in the field of responsible AI, contact Dr. Craig Kaplan and iQ Company here.

But this Shabbat — which also happens to be Annie's eleventh birthday — isn't like the others. Thirteen-year-old Theo's soccer hero, Wes Mitchell, has posted an antisemitic message that quickly goes viral, leaving his parents disgusted, his sister enraged, and Theo himself overwhelmed by confusion, anger, sadness, and a desperate wish to just ignore it. Antisemitism soon begins to affect the entire Kaplan family in unexpected ways. Theo's teammates brush off Mitchell's remarks as “no big deal,” and he notices an increase in anti-Jewish comments around school. A rare act of rebellion draws Annie into the fray, while a new classmate helps her realize that ignoring pain is no way to get through it.

We often think of “doing good” as the business of nonprofits. You start a foundation, apply for grants, hold gumbo cook-offs, and hope the IRS sees things your way. But what if you didn’t need tax-exempt status to make the world better? What if turning a profit and doing good weren’t opposites — but the same business plan? Turns out, a lot of small business owners in Acadiana are already doing it. No mission statements, no donor walls — just good work disguised as work. Christiaan's guests on this edition of Out to Lunch Acadiana both run for-profit businesses that exist for something bigger than the bottom line. One makes magic — literally. The other runs a thrift store that funds community support. And both have built businesses around something very simple: joy and generosity. If you’ve been to a library show, a school assembly, a corporate retreat, a kid’s birthday, or a surprise party gone slightly off the rails — there’s a decent chance you’ve seen this man making balloon animals. Mitch Richard is the owner of MLR Magic. He grew up in Kaplan, where he was a consummate class clown. Mitch's real stage debut came in 7th grade, when a teacher gave him the first five minutes of every class to “energize” the students — on one condition: Mitch had to keep a B average. By 16, he learned balloon art from Darcy Guidry — the legendary balloon guy at Hub City Diner — and started performing professionally a few years later. He’s now been “Mitch the Magician” for 25 years, doing more than 150 shows a year across Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Florida. Mitch's company company books not just himself, but other performers, too. And while he performs everywhere from corporate parties to kids’ camps, his favorite shows are at assisted living facilities, where he says “people need to laugh the most.” If Mitch works his magic through wonder, Lori Guillory works hers through generosity. Lori is the owner of Calvary Thrift, a faith-based thrift shop in Lafayette. Lori also runs Camp Calvary, a Christian summer camp, and Calvary Creek, an 8-acre event venue. Lori is a UL Lafayette grad, a lifelong thrifter, and — by her own admission — someone who didn’t set out to run more than one business, but kept doing it because she saw needs that weren’t being met. Calvary Thrift employs eight people, sources locally donated goods, and donates profits into groups like The Hub, The Outreach Center, church ministries, and rent-assistance programs. Out to Lunch Acadiana was recorded live over lunch at Tsunami Sushi in downtown Lafayette.

She began her career at the test-prep company Kaplan, earned her MBA from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, and honed her brand chops at General Mills, shaping icons like Cheerios and Pillsbury. Then she leapt into entrepreneurship, founding Red Stamp, a mobile-first lifestyle brand that reimagined personal connection and scaled to millions before it was acquired. Today, Erin brings that same energy to her work as an advisor and board member. partnering with founders, executives, and mission-driven ventures including ModernWell, Omnia Fishing, and TurnSignl, an award-winning service providing 24/7 real-time legal assistance.Recorded in person at the Best Buy Studios in Minneapolis, here is Jim's conversation with the leader who believes in grounding herself each day—and helping others grow along the way.---This week's episode is brought to you by Best Buy Ads.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Craig Kaplan is the Founder and CEO of iQ Company, a leading consulting firm specializing in the ethical and safe development of advanced AI and Superintelligent systems. With over 20 years at the helm, Dr. Kaplan has published a book, numerous patents, and ten whitepapers on Safe Superintelligence. His former company, PredictWallStreet, earned top recognition for outperforming major financial institutions like NASDAQ and TD Ameritrade. In this episode… As artificial intelligence continues to evolve at lightning speed, the world is grappling with a pivotal question: can we build systems powerful enough to change the world without losing control of them? What would it take to design smarter, safer, and more transparent AI that humanity can truly trust? According to Dr. Craig Kaplan, a pioneering figure in AI and collective intelligence systems, the key lies in prevention and design. He emphasizes that most of today's AI models function as "black boxes," where even their creators can't fully explain how decisions are made — a recipe for unpredictable behavior. Dr. Kaplan argues that the industry must focus on embedding safety at the design phase, not patching it afterward. Drawing from decades in AI and software quality, he highlights how systems designed with human oversight, transparency, and collective intelligence can be both safer and more profitable, ensuring accountability while maintaining innovation's momentum. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Dr. Craig Kaplan, Founder and CEO of iQ Company, about designing safer and more transparent AI systems. They explore the flaws in current AI training, the promise of collective intelligence, and the urgent need for ethical frameworks. Dr. Kaplan also shares why smarter design (not slower development) is the path to both safety and progress.
Writer E. Jean Carroll, who triumphed over Donald Trump with an $83 million defamation verdict after accusing him of rape in the mid-1990s, is joined by her attorney Roberta Kaplan and Joanna Coles to unpack their historic courtroom victories.

Carroll discusses how she'll use her winnings to support women's rights, while Kaplan explains why Trump's appeals are likely doomed. Can Trump honestly be held accountable, and what does their win mean for justice and women across America? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
“Maybe when we started doing this with animals, researching on them and studying them for human benefit hundreds of years ago, we didn't know about their sentience. We didn't know that they had emotions and feelings and felt pain. And we know all that now. We can't ignore that.” – Melanie Kaplan When journalist Melanie Kaplan agreed to foster a beagle named Hammy, she knew he'd just been released from a research lab. What she didn't know was how profoundly his story — and the world he came from — would change her own. In her new book, Lab Dog: A Beagle and His Human Investigate the Surprising World of Animal Research, Melanie takes readers deep inside the hidden world of animal testing — one that quietly breeds and experiments on tens of thousands of dogs each year, mostly beagles, chosen for their size and gentle nature. Through her journey with Hammy, she unravels how these animals end up in labs, what happens to them there, and what it takes to help them heal once they're free. Our conversation explores the long and often secretive history of animal testing in the U.S., the shocking revelations behind the Envigo case — where 4,000 beagles were rescued from a breeding facility in Virginia — and the growing movement toward humane, non-animal alternatives.
