Send a textWhat happens when a passing reference in graduate school turns into a decades-long archival investigation?In this episode, classicist Michele Ronnick shares the remarkable scholarly detective story that led her to recover the life and legacy of William Sanders Scarborough, a formerly enslaved scholar who became one of the most important Black classicists in American history.Beginning during the intellectual debates surrounding Black Athena, Dr. Ronnick questioned why Black participation in classical studies seemed largely absent from academic narratives. That question launched an international archival search involving rare books, unpublished manuscripts, institutional collections, and forgotten correspondence.Her work ultimately resulted in the recovery and publication of Scarborough's autobiography and renewed recognition of his groundbreaking 1881 Greek textbook—considered the first foreign-language textbook authored by a person of African descent.The conversation expands beyond Scarborough to illuminate a broader intellectual network of underrecognized Black classical scholars connected through institutions like Howard University and the AME Church. Along the way, we explore archival discovery, academic exclusion, historical erasure, and the ongoing importance of student research in preserving overlooked histories.Episode Timeline00:00 Why Classics Mattered 00:24 Graduate School Origins 02:02 Black Athena Era Questions 02:53 Finding Scarborough 05:40 Chasing Lost Archives 09:24 Autobiography Breakthrough 12:04 Beyond Scarborough's Network 18:46 Calhoun Quote and Historical Irony 23:37 Teaching and Legacy 27:07 Building the Photo Installation 28:08 Hunting Flia Campbell 29:33 Archive Breakthrough Photo 31:12 Expanding the Scholar List 32:19 Pinkney Warren Russell Evidence 34:43 Greener and Scarborough Letters 40:22 George Lightfoot at Howard 45:50 Inspiring New ResearchersAbout the GuestDr. Michele Valerie Ronnick is Distinguished Service Professor Emerita of Classics at Wayne State University and a leading scholar in recovering the history of Black classicists in the United States.

This week I speak with Andrea Brown, who is a wife, mother, aspiring author, the writer behind TheOneThing1, and the host of a podcast called Seed For The Soul. Yet, believes her most crucial position she's been given is as a daughter of God, and it has become her passion and delight to share the transformative power of Jesus. A believer in Jesus for many years. She struggled in the faith because she couldn't relinquish legalism rooted in mixing God's law and grace. She, much like the believers in the church of Galatia, living a life trapped in Romans chapter seven. However, everything changed when she moved into Romans chapter 8, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.” Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬. ‭Oh, these verses were music to my ears and brought tranquility to my soul. When she believed the Gospel, specifically that grace and truth came through Jesus Christ (John 1:17), and by His blood, He declared me righteous in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21, Romans 1:17) before the Father, everything changed. Since then, she has continued to fall in love with Jesus, which has led her to write and speak about His finished work because it unveils the heart of the Father and his unfailing love for humanity. She's passionate about sharing her journey and seeing others set free from every bondage. Her heart, writing, and speaking are for the glory of Jesus so that many will be saved and walk in victory by practically exercising their God-given authority in Christ alone. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life.

Every time one of the big clubs show up on this humble podcast, the audience is a little larger - and maybe I should do more on the likes of Bayern or Liverpool. But I always shirk back a bit. Too mainstream, I think. And if you like Liverpool, wouldn't you have found another, more professional media outlet already? If that is you, I think you need to buy this book. And, first, hear about it: Alan McDougall has written what the subtitle says is a peoples' history of Liverpool F.C. I would say it's a global people's history. Published  by Cambridge University Press, the book is very readable and accessible, but with high scholarly standards. Not a straight up club history, always with an eye on culture, society and football more broadly, but never far from the club the author has grown up to love. It's a story of deindustrialization, migration, the tragedies of Heysel and Hillsborough, and Bill Shankly and Jürgen Klopp. Alan McDougall is a professor of history at the University of Guelph in Canada, and he has been on before to talk about his fabulous older book The People's Game about soccer in Eastern Germany. For this one, he has returned to his football home, and done what not many club histories do: a book you'll enjoy reading, following its connections and learning about its world even if you don't support Liverpool.HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:Alan McDougall, professional pageDreams and Songs to Sing, book websiteHillsborough Law campaignHeysel Stadium catastrophe, TV footage (warning, graphic imagery)NEW: send me a text message!

The phrase "go west!" was not coined by the Village People or the Pet Shop Boys, but by Horace Greeley, a famous newspaper editor a long time ago. And seen from Europe, all of the United States is West. So that's what Luca Puster tells his young European clients who just finish High School and are considering college: Go west young man, and grow up playing football. Or soccer. How do they find American colleges? What makes them come here, what is attractive about this step in their football and study careers? How do they find the game here, the current crisis around immigration and politics, what do they take back? Luca is the co-founder of Students Go West, an agency that helps bring European footballers into American collegiate soccer programs. He also played for the GAK in Graz, Austria, and for Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida.HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE: Students Go West, websitePercentages of international players in the top NCAA teams, 2023NEW: send me a text message!

This story is a journey to one of the original sins of commercialization in modern global football - the 2005 takeover of Austria Salzburg, a former Austrian champion, UEFA cup finalist and Champions League participant by a well known energy drink company that is now active in soccer around the globe, and its subsequent attempt to erase 72 years of footballing history.But more importantly, it's a journey to soccer's original grace as well: community, persistence, humility, euphoria, belonging - the resurrection of Austria Salzburg in its original colors, purple and white, by fans and the return of the Austria to professional football in Austria. Stefan Wally is the man to tell this story - a lifelong fan of the Austria, and the managing director of the Robert-Jungk-Foundation for Future Studies in Salzburg. He is a political scientist, has taught at different universities for twenty years, and regularly teaches Austrian history to an international audience. HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:Stefan Wally (LinkedIn)SV Austria Salzburg, websiteSV Austria Salzburg, InstagramUnion Ultras Salzburg, websiteThe Guardian article in English about the Austria after Red BullSV Austria Salzburg, English Wikipedia entryNEW: send me a text message!

In this very different -- and very difficult -- episode, DB sits down with Mia Schachter of Consent Wizardry to talk all about consent. But what DB gets is not what she expected. Please note that this episode contains difficult and potentially triggering conversations around consent. This episode touches on discussions and experiences of consent violations, as well as a perspective that might trigger feelings or memories of victim blaming for some listeners. Be sure to listen through the Pleasure Preview and Afterglow of this episode, where DB talks about her perspectives on consent and this conversation, as well as giving some vital resources.

They say love means never having to say you're sorry. But what if that popular aphorism from the 1960's is wrong and that love precisely means having to say you're sorry? Can an apology release the trauma, grief, rage and disfigurement arising from past abuse? But what if the perpetrator does not apologize? Can you still resolve or reconcile the trauma and hurt? How? These are some of the agonizing questions that the artist, playwright, performer and activist Eve Ensler, now known as V chose to face to resolve her own relationship with her abusive late father. She did it by writing a book, ⁠The Apology⁠. In writing it, she tried to imagine being her father. Who was he? What allowed him to do such terrible harms? Could she free herself from this prison of the past? Could she free both of them? Featuring V (formerly Eve Ensler), Tony Award-winning playwright, performer, and one of the world's most important activists on behalf of women's rights, is the author of many plays, including, most famously the extraordinarily influential and impactful The Vagina Monologues, which has been performed all over the globe in 50 or so languages.

Artificial intelligence is changing how we work, how we communicate, and how we live — but who's making sure workers aren't left behind? In the latest episode of Solidarity Works, we sit down with Ed Wytkind, Interim Executive Director of the AFL-CIO Technology Institute, to talk about the federation's new Workers First Initiative on AI. The initiative lays out a bold plan to make sure technology serves people — not the other way around — by putting worker voices at the center of innovation, bargaining, and public policy. From protecting jobs and privacy to creating new opportunities for skill building and organizing, we explore what a fair and democratic AI future could look like when labor leads the way.

In the US, the big soccer boom is always supposedly around the corner. The most recent example: right now, in the lead-up to next year's World Cup. But that waiting until the beautiful game is the "number 1 sport in the U.S."  clouds our view of the game's history in this country. Today, it's that history, in its own right, that we focus on. Brian Bunk focusses on it, especially, in his new book Beyond the Field: How Soccer Built Community in the United States. Brian is a Historian at the University of Massachussetts, Amherst, and has already written THE history of the early game in the US, From Football to Soccer. This is a sequel, a collection of local stories. And there are lot of stories around immigrant identity in there. So I'm reminded of what Oscar Handlin, the dean of American Immigration History, said a few decades ago: “Once I thought to write a history of the immigrants in America. Then I discovered that the immigrants were American history.” Well for today, we could say: Brian Bunk wrote a book about the history of soccer and community in the US. And we find out: soccer and community ARE American history. HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:Brian's online exhibit "Beyond the Field," with historic photos that appear in the bookBrian Bunk on BlueskyBrian's articles for the Society of American Soccer HistoryNEW: send me a text message!

Today I speak with Janet Hart Leonard, who is an award-winning newspaper columnist, author, and speaker. She speaks to women who think that God has written only a one-hit wonder for their lives. In her unique and quirky way, she shows them through scripture that He is writing a Greatest Hits Album for them throughout their lives. (Look at Naomi in the book of Ruth.)  Janet is a cheerleader, without the cartwheels, who brings the scriptures to life with her wit, whimsy, and way with words, encouraging others to find joy in the midst of difficult circumstances. She's been there and still is finding her way through the times when life isn't fair. She has learned to dance in the rain as well as the mud, all the while enjoying a cup of coffee with sweet cream and inviting others to join her. She is the author of When the Hart Speaks and is currently writing Book #2, Vintage Wisdom. Things I Wish I Knew before I Got Old. Book #3 will be a fiction book about a hairdresser in the hills of Kentucky in 1989. Audrey Grace holds a lot of secrets, including what happened to the missing preacher...who isn't a good man. Stay tuned. Contact her: janethartleonard@gmail.com                     www.janethartleoanrd.com Her column, From the Hart, is published every Monday in The Hamilton County Reporter.
