“I learned so much about viewing the world, especially mass media, through a critical eye this year. I learned about what traps we fall into while viewing media and how we can prevent that. I also learned about good vs. questionable journalism tactics and how this can affect how accurate a news source is.”My guest today, Sam Shain, is a musician, artist, writer, former journalist and current English teacher in Maine. That opening quote was just one student review of Sam's journalism class from his book Education Revolution: Media Literacy for Political Awareness, available from Zer0 Books. Teaching in the United States has never been more fraught, as teachers across the country are implicitly or explicitly forced to avoid certain topics, texts, and questions that have been labeled divisive, controversial, or - worse yet - political. Of course, these topics also tend to be the most immediate & important, and are accompanied by intense mis- & disinformation - the reality of climate change, systemic racism, COVID-19, and the outcomes of our electoral system, to take some examples from just the last couple of years - all of this seems particularly heightened with the new ability of AI to generate audio, video, and images to spread politically motivated narratives easier than ever before via social media, and a receptive population willing not only to accept them but to participate in spreading mis- & disinformation. As the student testimonial I read earlier testifies to, the gap has never been wider between our vital need to teach critical media literacy and our ability. To do. Just that. GuestsSam Shain is a former journalist and English teacher. He believes education is the way out of our country's current predicament and teachers and students can lead the revolution in turning this country around. Sam wrote for the Capital Weekly for several years and occasionally contributes to the Kennebec Journal.In addition to teaching and writing, Sam sings and plays guitar in the band the Scolded Dogs, who play frequently throughout Maine and have released several original albums. Sam lives in Hallowell, Maine.Resources"Not Rehired for Teaching Politics": One Teacher's StoryEducation Revolution from Zer0 Books Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1983. Augusta, Maine. In December of 1983, all of central Maine was pitching in efforts to help search for a young woman who was abducted during a robbery at a local ice cream shop—21-year-old UMF student, Paula Roberts. A month later, when the city editor of the Kennebec Journal showed up to work, the call of a lifetime was waiting for him: a man who had a first hand account of what happened to Paula... and who had killed her. The catch? He wanted to remain anonymous. But the KJ told him that in order to print the story, he needed to show them where Paula's body was located. The following day, the anonymous tipster was arrested: 26-year-old David Willoughby. But David insisted he was innocent. It was his step-brother, Phillip, who killed her. Not him. But there's a lot of circumstantial evidence against him... will the jury find him innocent? This is part one of the story of Paula Roberts, and one of the most sensational murder trials in Maine's history.

Without any forethought or preparation, Christopher Knight walked into the Maine woods in 1986 and lived there in complete solitude for the next 27 years, subsisting on what he was able to steal from local cabins.
