92.9 FM ESPN Intern Sampson Knopf's (Lausanne Collegiate School) WEEKEND LOOKAHEAD with Brad Carson in-studio

The scholarship of theology and religion teaches us that the God of the Bible was without a body, only revealing himself in the Old Testament in words mysteriously uttered through his prophets, and in the New Testament in the body of Christ. The portrayal of God as corporeal and masculine is seen as merely metaphorical, figurative, or poetic. But, in this revelatory study, Dr. Francesca Stavrakopoulou presents a vividly corporeal image of God: a human-shaped deity who walks and talks and weeps and laughs, who eats, sleeps, feels, and breathes, and who is undeniably male. God: An Anatomy (Knopf, 2022) present a portrait—arrived at through the author's close examination of and research into the Bible—of a god in ancient myths and rituals who was a product of a particular society, at a particular time, made in the image of the people who lived then, shaped by their own circumstances and experience of the world. From head to toe—and every part of the body in between—this is a god of stunning surprise and complexity, one we have never encountered before. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

His books have been translated into more than 25 languages. They include Columbus: The Four Voyages, a New York Times bestseller, published by Viking in 2011. In 2007, Knopf published his Marco Polo: From Venice to Xanadu. For this book he crossed China from east to west and camped out on the steppe with hospitable Mongolians in their yurts. His bestselling Over the Edge of the World: Magellan's Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe, was published by William Morrow in 2003.  In its 40th printing, it was awarded the Medalla de Honor by the Asociación de Alcades de V Centenario (Spain).

250805PCNahost-Konflikt: Macht endlich einen Knopf dran! Mensch Mahler am 05.8.2025Eines hat der brutale Überfall der Hamas auf Israel am 7. Oktober 2023 und die Reaktion Israels in Gaza bewirkt: Es ist Bewegung in den seit 1948 schwelenden Nahost-Konflikt gekommen. Ein entscheidender Schritt: Die Hamas und die Hisbollah-Milizen werden von der arabischen Welt – natürlich außer vom Iran und Jemen – inzwischen in Frage gestellt. Damit ist die Forderung Israels – eine Zerstörung der Terrornetzwerke - in greifbare Nähe gerückt. Die Palästinenser können sich aus eigener Kraft dieser Milizen nicht entledigen. Und damit ist auch der Grundstein für eine 2-Staaten-Lösung gelegt. Dem Vorwurf Israels – die Palästinenser wollen Israel vernichten – Stichwort: „From the River to the Sea – Palestine will be free“ – wird der Boden entzogen, wenn sich die gemäßigten Kräfte der Arabischen Staaten durchsetzen. Natürlich ist der erste Schritt ein Waffenstillstand und die Herausgabe der verbliebenen noch lebenden Geiseln und der Leichname der getöteten. Dann könnten Verhandlungen aufgenommen werden. Das größte Hindernis dabei ist Donald Trump. Er kämpft mit seinen evangelikalen und jüdischen Wählern gegen eine Anerkennung Palästinas als Staat. Und die Bundesregierung unter Kanzler Merz tut sich auch schwer mit der Anerkennung. Staaten, die Palästina anerkennen – wie etwa Kanada - bestraft Trump mit Zöllen. Dieses Pokerspiel, das unzählige Tote im nahen Osten gekostet hat – bereits über Jahrzehnte – muss zu Ende gehen. Die schon bei der Staatsgründung Israels angedachte Zwei-Staaten-Lösung – von der UN bereits 1947 vorgeschlagen – muss verwirklicht werden. Jetzt. Genug Leid auf beiden Seiten ist endlich genug.

More than a century and a half after Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant, historians are still searching for exactly when the U.S. Civil War ended. Was it ten weeks afterward, in Galveston, where a federal commander proclaimed Juneteenth the end of slavery? Or perhaps in August of 1866, when President Andrew Johnson simply declared “the insurrection is at an end”?  That the answer was elusive was baffling even to a historian of the stature of Michael Vorenberg, whose previous work served as a key source of Steven Spielberg's Lincoln. Vorenberg was inspired to write this groundbreaking book, finding its title, Lincoln's Peace, in the peace Lincoln hoped for but could not make before his assassination. A peace that required not one but many endings, as Vorenberg reveals in these pages, the most important of which came well more than a year after Lincoln's untimely death. To say how a war ends is to suggest how it should be remembered, and Vorenberg's search is not just for the Civil War's endpoint but for its true nature and legacy, so essential to the American identity. It's also a quest, in our age of “forever wars,” to understand whether the United States's interminable conflicts of the current era have a precedent in the Civil War—and whether, in a sense, wars ever end at all, or merely wax and wane.

On this episode of BaddestChaplain, Rabbi Dr. Michael Knopf and I discuss his journey to spiritual leadership, the intersection of Jewish tradition and progressive values, and the importance of community engagement. This conversation emphasizes the need for moral courage in today's polarized world and the significance of Shabbat as a restorative practice. We also explore how Jewish values inform social justice efforts and the challenges of navigating political discourse while maintaining inclusivity.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Rabbi Dr. Michael Knopf01:39 The Journey to Spiritual Leadership04:46 Cultural Identity and Community Engagement08:59 Balancing Tradition and Progressive Values14:39 The Role of Sacred Texts in Modern Issues21:32 Evolving Perspectives on Tradition23:44 Navigating Community Consensus and Individual Beliefs25:32 The Importance of Kindness in Discourse28:50 Courageous Leadership in a Polarized World31:06 Sustaining Spiritual Leadership Through Conflict36:03 Wrestling with Political and Religious ValuesBaddestChaplain's Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

Editors Altie Karper and Todd Portnowitz sat down with "The Shmooze" to talk about Chaim Grade's novel "Sons & Daughters" (Knopf)—newly translated into English by Rose Waldman. Originally serialized in the 1960s and 1970s in New York–based Yiddish newspapers, Grade's "Sons and Daughters" tells the story of a way of life that is no longer. In conversation Altie and Todd tell the incredible backstory of how the work came to publication and why the newly translated novel has been lauded as the “last great Yiddish novel.” Episode 393 June 30, 2025 Amherst, MA

What do a barracks for British troops in the Falklands War, a floating jail off the Bronx, and temporary housing for VW factory workers in Germany have in common? The Balder Scapa: a single barge that served all three roles. Though the name would eventually change to Finnboda 12. And then to Safe Esperia. And later on, to the Bibby Resolution. And after that . . . in short, a vessel with so many names, and so many fates, that to keep it in our sights—as the protagonist of this fascinating economic parable—Ian Kumekawa has no choice but to call it, simply, the Vessel.Despite its sturdy steel structure, weighing 9,500 deadweight tons, the Vessel is a figure as elusive and abstract as the offshore market it comes to embody: a world of island tax havens, exploited labor forces, free banking zones, Thatcherism, Reaganomics, and mass incarceration, where even the prisoners are held offshore. Fitted with modular shipping containers, themselves the product of standardized global trade, the ship could become whatever the market demanded. Whether caught in an international dispute involving Hong Kong, Nigeria, Indonesia, and the Virgin Islands—to be settled in an English court of law—or flying yet another foreign “flag of convenience” to mask its ownership—the barge is ever a container for forces much larger than even its hulking self.Empty Vessel: The Story of the Global Economy in One Barge is a jaw-dropping microhistory that speaks volumes about the global economy as a whole. In following the Vessel—and its Sister Vessel, built alongside it in Stockholm—from one thankless task to the next, Kumekawa connects the dots of a neoliberal world order in the making, where regulation is for suckers and “Made in USA” feels almost quaint. Dr. Ian Kumekawa is a historian of economic thinking, capitalism, and empire. He is currently an Anniversary Fellow at the Center for History and Economics at Harvard University and a Lecturer in History at MIT. He previously published a book called 'The First Serious Optimist' about Pigou and the birth of welfare economics. His second book, which we will discuss today is called, Empty Vessel: The Global Economy in One Barge, came out with Knopf and John Murray in May 2025.

phot of the artist by Ralph Gabriner Dena Schutzer in her fifth solo show at Bowery Gallery in New York City titled “Agitation and Retreat”, describes the work saying, “Together, these oil paintings are a chronicle of observed moments in public and private spaces.” Schutzer's imagery reflects this wide-open approach—what has caught her eye ranges from a view of a New York street in the giant shadows of looming new skyscrapers, to an intimate scene of the artist's elderly mother taking a bath. Intuiting a kind of drama in these elements of direct perception provides what Schutzer calls the “initial jolt” that impels her to respond in paint. For Schutzer this mysterious process—the joy and struggle of proceeding from that first sensation to a new, composed reality on the canvas--has everything to do with her pleasure in the possibilities of paint itself.  Her loose but decisive brushwork and bold color tensions and harmonies—acid greens, clashing blues, pervasive violets—don't let go of the viewer until one has taken in all the oppositions, juxtapositions, parallels from which her brushstroke emerges, still present as a brushstroke, but also, finally, as an essential part of a new and highly personal image. Dena Schutzer has had 5 solo shows with the Bowery Gallery in NYC, and has been in group shows at The Painting Center-NYC, Westbeth-NYC, Washington Art Association-CT, Kingsborough College-Brooklyn, Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition-BWAC, Hudson Park Library-NYC, Romano Gallery-NJ, Irvington Library, Yonkers Riverfront Library, TC Columbia U- Macy Gallery. She taught painting and was head of the art department at the Abraham Joshua Heschel High School in NYC for 21 years, has been a visiting teaching artist at schools throughout Westchester County and NYC.  She illustrated six children's books for Simon and Schuster, Knopf, and Scholastic among others, and her editorial illustrations have been published in newspapers and magazines including The NY Times, The New Yorker and NY Newsday. Schutzer attended Skowhegan, NY Studio School, BFA from Suny at Purchase, MFA (in Film) from Yale University, MFA in Art Ed at Columbia University. “Buildings, Yellow Cloud”, oil on canvas, 16”x12”, 2025 “Arm Outstretched”, oil on canvas, 12”x16”, 2023 “Four Men Working”, oil on canvas, 18”x20”, 2024

The extraordinary life of forgotten World War II hero Evans Carlson, commander of America's first special forces, secret confidant of FDR, and one of the most controversial officers in the history of the Marine Corps, who dedicated his life to bridging the cultural divide between the United States and China“He was a gutsy old man.” “A corker,” said another. “You couldn't find anyone better.” They talked about him in hushed tones. “This Major Carlson,” wrote one of the officers in a letter home, “is one of the finest men I have ever known.”These were the words of the young Marines training to be among the first U.S. troops to enter the Second World War—and the Major Carlson they spoke of was Evans Carlson, a man of mythical status even before the war that would make him a military legend.By December of 1941, at the age of forty-five, Carlson had already faced off against Sandinistas in the jungles of Nicaragua and served multiple tours in China, where he embedded with Mao's Communist forces during the Sino-Japanese War. Inspired by their guerilla tactics and their collaborative spirit—which he'd call “gung ho,” introducing the term to the English language—and driven by his own Emersonian ideals of self-reliance, Carlson would go on to form his renowned Marine Raiders, the progenitors of today's special operations forces, who fought behind Japanese lines on Makin Island and Guadalcanal, showing Americans a new way to do battle.In The Raider, Cundill Prize–winning historian Stephen R. Platt gives us the first authoritative account of Carlson's larger-than-life exploits: the real story, based on years of research including newly discovered diaries and correspondence in English and Chinese, with deep insight into the conflicted idealism about the Chinese Communists that would prove Carlson's undoing in the McCarthy era.Tracing the rise and fall of an unlikely American war hero, The Raider is a story of exploration, of cultural (mis)understanding, and of one man's awakening to the sheer breadth of the world.

Steven Mills has reached a crossroads. His wife and son have left, and they may not return. Which leaves him determined to find out what happened to his own father, a brilliant, charismatic professor who disappeared in 1984 when Steve was twelve, on a wave of ignominy.As Steve drives up the coast of California, seeking out his father's friends, family members, and former colleagues, the novel offers us tantalizing glimpses into Steve's childhood—his parents' legendary pool parties, the black-and-white films on the backyard projector, secrets shared with his closest friend. Each conversation in the present reveals another layer of his father's past, another insight into his disappearance. Yet with every revelation, his father becomes more difficult to recognize. And, with every insight, Steve must confront truths about his own life.Rich in atmosphere, and with a stunningly sure-footed emotional compass, The Imagined Life: A Novel (Knopf, 2025) is a probing, nostalgic novel about the impossibility of understanding one's parents, about first loves and failures, about lost innocence, about the unbreakable bonds between a father and a son.

Platt gives us the first authoritative account of Carlson's larger-than-life exploits: the real story, based on years of research including newly discovered diaries and correspondence in English and Chinese, with deep insight into the conflicted idealism about the Chinese Communists that would prove Carlson's undoing in the McCarthy era.Tracing the rise and fall of an unlikely American war hero, The Raider is a story of exploration, of cultural (mis)understanding, and of one man's awakening to the sheer breadth of the world.
