Podcasts about Laderman

This week we invite Scott Laderman to talk about Point Break (1991) and his book Empire in Waves: A Political History of Surfing. We talk about depictions of surfing in this film and others along with the origins of the pursuit, its commodification and commercialization, how surfers responded to genocide and apartheid in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, the greatest surfing movies of all time, and greatest surfers of all time. This is a really fun and deep dive into surf and film history. I think you're gonna dig it.About our guest:Scott Laderman  broadly explores the various ways that Americans have encountered and ascribed meaning to the rest of the world. His first book, Tours of Vietnam: War, Travel Guides, and Memory (Duke University Press, 2009), examines issues of tourism and memory in postcolonial Vietnam. His second monograph, Empire in Waves: A Political History of Surfing (University of California Press, 2014), combines the passion for wave-riding he developed while growing up in California with his professional interest in the history of U.S. foreign relations. His most recent book, The “Silent Majority” Speech: Richard Nixon, the Vietnam War, and the Origins of the New Right (Routledge, 2019), uses Nixon's most famous presidential address to probe the last years of the war in Vietnam and the rise of the modern right-wing political movement.With Edwin Martini, he co-edits the Culture and Politics in the Cold War and Beyond book series for the University of Massachusetts Press, and he has written for numerous popular publications, including the New York Times, Washington Post, South China Morning Post, and Star Tribune.

Interview by Kris PetersMelbourne punk upstarts Clowns have epitomised the fun and frivolous side of Australian music since their inception in 2009.Their attitude towards music, coupled with almost legendary live performances, has seen Clowns rise quickly to prominence and notoriety, with their honest and raw appraisal of life through music connecting on a global scale.After receiving an ARIA nomination for their previous album Nature/Nurture in 2019, Clowns have just unleashed their latest slab of goodness in the form of Endless, a middle finger salute to the pandemic during which it was conceived and a snub to the face of those who thought that period of time would spell the death knell for a plethora of bands and musicians.HEAVY sat down with vocalist Stevie Williams and drummer Jake Laderman to talk through what to expect."It feels like I'm about to…," Williams measured, "… I don't have any kids, but this is what I imagine preparing for a child would feel like (laughs). Years and years of creative energy and the world going upside down from when we started writing it to when we finished recording and releasing it, but now it's here. It's satisfying and maybe a little bit emotional. I can't wait for it to be out in the world and not be our record anymore. It's gonna be whoever listens to its record."Endless is the fifth album release from Clowns, so we ask the question of whether the process gets any easier the more albums you put out."It definitely gets harder," Williams answered without thought. "I feel like when we started the band we were so inspired to get our music career off the ground and there was so much… I guess you would call it creative, low-hanging fruit when we were starting a punk band. We wanted to write a song that had screaming in it, we wanted a song that sounded like The Ramones, we wanted a song that sounded like the Offspring and then once we did an EP and four seven inches and now five albums, now we're reaching super high up to the top of the tree to get that sweet fruit, and we're doing Spaghetti Western eight-minute jams at the end of our record. We're fucking around with thrash metal and dual guitar solos, all in an effort to keep it interesting for ourselves and the people who listen as well. In that essence, it gets harder. It gets way harder (laughs)."In the full interview, the boys talk more about what to expect from Endless, how the singles released represent the album as a whole, the opening piano intro and why it was used, the central theme of immortality, the closing track A Widow's Song and the inspiration behind it, how Endless differs musically to Nature/Nature, upcoming shows and more.

When people think of surfing, images of Hawaii often come to mind. This is rightfully so. Not only is Hawaii a mecca for surfers around the world, it is also where you end up when you look into the origins of surfing. But have you ever stopped to think about the origins of this now global sport? And what about how it is that surfing spread outside of Hawaii? On this episode of Transmissions from Hawaii, Dr. Scott Laderman of the University of Minnesota Duluth joins us to talk about his research on the complicated history of surfing.

The book "Hitler's American Gamble" recounts the five days in 1941 that upended everything. Starting with Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th and ending with Hitler's declaration of war on the United States on December 11th, British historians Brendan Simms and Charlie Laderman trace the developments during the five days in real-time and reveal how America's engagement in World War Two was far from inevitable.   Learn more about your ad choices.

During one specific week in December in 1941, a series of events and calculations led to Adolf Hitler's disastrous decision to declare war on the United States, putting the conflict on the eventual path toward the outcome we now regard with familiarity. The sequence of events leading from the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan to the entry of the United States into the war were of course very far from clear cut or certain at the time, and instead played out with the high-tension drama of a Hollywood thriller. The story of what happened during these four days is examined and retold with unusually gripping detail and surprising revelations by historians Brendan Simms and Charlie Laderman in their excellent new book, "Hitler's American Gamble: Pearl Harbor and Germany's March to Global War." Simms and Laderman's book takes readers inside the blow-by-blow strategic thinking by Hitler and his advisors that led to this momentous and ultimately catastrophic decision with extraordinary and engaging detail, as well as the reaction to events in the Roosevelt White House. Hitler's American Gamble invites readers to imagine a broad range of potential alternative outcomes which could have taken place during this week, many of which were just avoided by the slimmest of margins. As news of the attack in the Pacific spread, leaders among the various countries did not all have the same access to information or understanding of the meaning of the events - and in the end, it would be these asymmetries that would prove critical.

What drove Hitler to declare war on the United States after Pearl Harbor, and what, if anything, can that fateful decision to kick off a truly world war tell us about today's dangerous moment? Brendan Simms and Charlie Laderman join host Richard Aldous to discuss their new book, Hitler's American Gamble: Pearl Harbor and Germany's March to Global War.

In this episode, I get the chance to talk with drummer Jake Laderman (@catman.scoop on IG) of the fast rising Aussie punk band, Clowns. This is absolutely one of the most interesting, deep-deep dive music conversations I have probably ever had.  We talk about everything from classic punk bands to The Yardbirds to some of the best drummers of past and present as well as what it's like to have a voice in a punk band and what it means to stand behind your music. This conversation will absolutely capture your attention, and it is definitely a must-listen episode! **Correction from the Podcast: I mention 2 members of the Foo Fighters having been from the band Sunny Day Real Estate. The only active member of the Foo Fighters from Sunny Day Real Estate is Nate Mendel (bass). However, drummer William Goldsmith DID have a brief stint with the Foo at the early outset of the band's formation. He is no longer part of the band though.

Today I interviewed Gary Laderman, an Associate Professor of American Religious History and Culture at Emory University and the author of The Sacred Remains: American Attitudes Toward Death, 1799-1883. We talk about the funeral industry, how it works, and how it's been evolving over time. Death is very prominent in our modern culture and people are becoming more and more interested in this final stage of life, especially with the recent pandemic that we all have fought through. Gary shares his wisdom on the different aspects of death and how we can approach it, becoming a little more comfortable talking about it.

Again I think some of it's going to depend on your mindset going in.” 18:21

Just when you thought things were beginning to level out in the music world and the pieces were beginning to slowly filter into place, Melbourne punk outfit Clowns decide to deliver their new single and prove to the world that while certain things may stay still, others continue to build momentum.“Does It Matter” is not a complete genre backflip for the lovable punksters, but it also isn’t the aggressive and in your face response to COVID that many would have expected.And therein perhaps lies the underlying truth to the matter – that Clowns have never, will never and can’t be expected to ever do what is expected of them.“Does It Matter” is a lighter and more melodic slab of music delivered from Clowns, but is also a welcome and refreshing change of pace that once again proves music cannot be pigeon holed and drolled out of an assembly line.While there is definitely a hint of pop and cleaner rock tones seeping through the normally stoic punk exterior, there is also a renewed sense of zest and vigour that is accentuated by a slight departure off course.For the first time, Clowns reached out to someone outside of the group, working alongside US-based songwriter Matt Squire (Panic! At The Disco, Ariana Grande), enabling them to look at things with a fresh perspective and outlook.The result is the catchy and infectious “Does It Matter”, a tune overflowing with punk and garage fuelled rock mixed in with some big sing-along moments sure to bring out the inner Idol in all of us.Drummer Jake Laderman caught up with HEAVY earlier this week to talk about the new tune and the bands upcoming Brisbane show."It's been really good. A bit of a mixed bag really," he said of the response to the single. "With this single, we wanted to do something really different and we had this opportunity arise to do some writing with some really talented pop writers and basically we decided that we would do that. That song was spawned in lockdown and we were just keen to throw things around and it's been fun. It's like releasing Shane Warne's pop music (laughs)."As inevitably occurs when a band dares to venture beyond fan expectations, this song will no doubt earn the wrath of punk purists but Laderman shrugs when asked if that is something the band will take to heart."We don't write music for other people," he countered. "We write music for ourselves. As an artist, if we were to record another Bad Blood album just because people wanted us to, that doesn't really show much artistry. We're a band of people who like different music coming from all places and we have really different influences. This is just the result of that. That's not to say that there won't be heavier songs in the future but I wouldn't say there's been a bad reception. It's like every release we've ever done. There are people who like it and there are people who are saying 'you should do another Bad Blood'."In the full interview, Jake talks more about working with Squire, discusses the recording conditions and how they influenced the single, gives a rundown into some upcoming new music and what direction it might take, talks about Mansfield Rocks in Brisbane on June 29 and more.

Heute dreht sich alles um das Thema Wellenreiten. Jannik erklärt uns nicht nur den Unterschied zwischen Longboard und Shortboard sondern nimmt uns auch mit in die geschichtliche Entwicklung, das Mindest und die Kultur von Surfern.

In this episode, Dr. Scott Laderman, professor of modern United States history at the University of Minnesota in Duluth, and I talk about his book, Empire in Waves: A Political History of Surfing. Scott's book shows that “while wave riding is indeed capable of stimulating tremendous pleasure, its globalization went hand in hand with the blood and repression of the long twentieth century.” Additionally, Scott and I talk about an article he's working on related to sexism and surfing culture, which Scott considers to be the “missing chapter” from Empire in Waves.  While Empire in Waves was mainly a “male-centered” political surf history, his upcoming article looks the legacy of sexism in the sport of surfing in the United States, arguing that “surfing was sexist because American culture was sexist.”Scott Laderman is a professor of history at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. His previous books include Tours of Vietnam: War, Travel Guides, and Memory (2009) and Empire in Waves: A Political History of Surfing (2014).***Artwork by Nacer Ahmadi: IG @x.filezzzAudio by TwistedLogix

Today we're here with the inventive Izzy Landerman, a 17-year-old disabled climate activist with Ehlers-Danlos (ay-lurs dan-los) syndrome. Izzy's mom and grandmother also have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Izzy has seen firsthand how hard it can be for people with disabilities to be taken seriously by medical professionals. Climate change is personal to Izzy because, as someone who often walks with a cane and is reliant on dependable access to medication, her disability makes her vulnerable to the extreme weather events that are increasing like blizzards, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires. Izzy takes action in her local community advocating for disabled people to be leaders rather than tokenized in the climate movement and making climate advocacy work accessible.

We are losing so much but we are also learning and growing in ways that seem long overdue and right on time. The same week in which I’m recording this introduction, Brad Turner and I did what a zillion other people did, we logged onto a Zoom call. It was a conversation that came about because Brad was and is a generous teacher and collaborator. He’s also walking around with one of the biggest hearts I’ve encountered in the world of ocean-loving humans. The particular Zoom was the latest step in a journey we’d just begun earlier this year, when we recorded this interview. On my Zoom screen were members of the Surfrider Foundation from all over the country logged on for a discussion with historian Scott Laderman author of the book Empire in Waves: A Political History of Surfing. For those of you who don’t know much about Surfrider, here is the organization’s mission statement: The Surfrider Foundation is dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s ocean, waves and beaches, for all people, through a powerful activist network. This conversation with Dr. Laderman was the second in an ongoing series Brad and I are organizing through our local Surfrider chapter and putting up on a YouTube channel...

We watched this movie so you don’t have to. Featuring improvisor Mike Laderman, a thicc martial arts alien, Tony Jaa outclassing everyone else on screen and a whole bunch of CGI shurikens.

A fascinating, unconventional take on how we live with death - or at least try to - from one of the country's preeminent voices on death and dying. This interview explores how we've been conditioned to look at death and why we should consider looking at it differently, how facing one's own death can be empowering and therapeutic, the various views of death in different societies throughout history and much more. You will take away a very different, more enlightened view about death from this conversation.

On November 3, 1969 Richard M. Nixon addressed the nation in what would come to be known as “The Silent Majority Speech”. In 32 minutes, the president promoted his plan for a “Vietnamization” of the war and called upon “the great silent majority of my fellow Americans” to support his plan “to end the war in a way that we could win the peace”. Arguing against the immediate cessation of hostilities, Nixon warned of a Communist bloodbath should American troops leave too quickly. Hypocritically, he spoke of peace as he made plans for a massive expansion of the murderous American air campaigns, which would include the criminal bombardment of neutral Cambodia. While he asked for unity, the term “silent majority” stood in sharp contrast to Nixon calling anti-war activists on campus “bums” and the range of racist terms he used for African Americans, Jews, and the LatinX community. In The 'Silent Majority' Speech: Richard Nixon, the Vietnam War, and the Origins of the New Right (Routledge, 2019), Scott Laderman argues that this speech was part of Nixon’s rhetorical strategy of using divisive “dog whistle” terms such as “law and order” to cover up his racist appeals to the white working class. According to Laderman the speech was a historical turning point in American political history, opening the way for the Lee Atwaters and Donald Trumps to come. While he shows how this foreign policy speech can work as a prism to understand the later years of the American War in Vietnam, aka the Second Indochina War, Laderman further demonstrate that this speech was an important moment in American domestic politics as it signaled the creation of the New Right. Scott Laderman is a professor of history at the University of Minnesota, Duluth – home of the best surfing in the upper Midwest. Michael G. Vann is a professor of world history at California State University, Sacramento. A specialist in imperialism and the Cold War in Southeast Asia, he is the author of The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt: Empires, Disease, and Modernity in French Colonial Vietnam (Oxford University Press, 2018).

In 32 minutes, the president promoted his plan for a “Vietnamization” of the war and called upon “the great silent majority of my fellow Americans” to support his plan “to end the war in a way that we could win the peace”. Arguing against the immediate cessation of hostilities, Nixon warned of a Communist bloodbath should American troops leave too quickly. Hypocritically, he spoke of peace as he made plans for a massive expansion of the murderous American air campaigns, which would include the criminal bombardment of neutral Cambodia. While he asked for unity, the term “silent majority” stood in sharp contrast to Nixon calling anti-war activists on campus “bums” and the range of racist terms he used for African Americans, Jews, and the LatinX community. In The 'Silent Majority' Speech: Richard Nixon, the Vietnam War, and the Origins of the New Right (Routledge, 2019), Scott Laderman argues that this speech was part of Nixon’s rhetorical strategy of using divisive “dog whistle” terms such as “law and order” to cover up his racist appeals to the white working class. According to Laderman the speech was a historical turning point in American political history, opening the way for the Lee Atwaters and Donald Trumps to come. While he shows how this foreign policy speech can work as a prism to understand the later years of the American War in Vietnam, aka the Second Indochina War, Laderman further demonstrate that this speech was an important moment in American domestic politics as it signaled the creation of the New Right. Scott Laderman is a professor of history at the University of Minnesota, Duluth – home of the best surfing in the upper Midwest. Michael G. Vann is a professor of world history at California State University, Sacramento. A specialist in imperialism and the Cold War in Southeast Asia, he is the author of The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt: Empires, Disease, and Modernity in French Colonial Vietnam (Oxford University Press, 2018).

Prof. Charlie Laderman (Kings College, London), Sharing the Burden: The Armenian Question, Humanitarian Intervention, and Anglo-American Visions of Global Order (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2019)Interviewed by Anna Aleksanyan (Ph.D. Student, Clark University)[August 7, 2020]

From humble beginnings in the Philippines we track Janes travel stories through life and find out this soulful human has much to care about on how she leaves every place she's visited. Over 50 countries visited and counting, but her sharing about Bear spray, Rockie Mountain trips, and snowshoeing are classic reminders that while we are all impacted by the amount of travel we can do, there is perhaps no better place for us all to discover than our own country right now. Jane shares her opinion on what travel bloggers miss out on, how she see's things moving forward, and how she is coping with the eternal travel bug that she has. A reflection on a road trip to Norway, listening to the salt plains in Chile and what is the best place to live out of Canada or the USA.  Janes joyful disposition makes this episode both a joy and fun as we rush quickly through our time.           

Since 2020 has been such a horrifying year (and it’s only June!), it would be nice to relax a bit this summer and talk about something fun and apolitical like surfing. After all, what’s more chill then hanging at the beach and catching some waves? But wait a minute! Empire in Waves: A Political History of Surfing (University of California Press, 2014) is about imperialism, white supremacy, Apartheid, Cold War politics in Central America and Southeast Asia, genocide, and the ways in which large corporations commodify and suck the very soul out of vibrant countercultures. Scott Laderman tells us “surfing is not a mindless entertainment, but a cultural force born of empire (at least in its modern phase), reliant on Western power, and invested in neoliberal capitalism.” Whoa, total bummer, dude! Empire in Waves is part of the University of California Press’ “Sports in World History” series and uses surfing as a prism to explore a number of crucial political, economic, and cultural issues.

In this Tohu Podcast, David Duvshani meets performance and social practice art pioneer Mierle Laderman Ukeles in Jerusalem for a conversation following her move to Jerusalem and her latest retrospective exhibition at the Queens Museum in New York. They talk about manifestos, authenticity, collaboration, art education, women artists, labor organization, life in Jerusalem, and the state of the political Left in the US and in Israel/Palestine.

Having grown up in West Tennessee, Mark Laderman and his family capitalized on a combination of their natural southern hospitality and a unique blend of creativity and quality to create not one, but two award-winning dining experiences in Northwest Tennessee. If you are headed this way, no doubt someone will recommend you eat at Sammies or The Grind. In this episode, Mark and his son Alan share what inspired them to build their dream eateries in this region, what they think is the secret to their restaurants’ popularity and challenges unique to entrepreneurs working in rural communities. Caution: this episode should not be consumed on an empty stomach. And later, we go behind the scenes at STEM Landing at Discovery Park of America to learn all about space suits.

In this episode of Horns of a Dilemma, Charlie Laderman, lecturer in international history at the War Studies Department at King's College, discusses his book Sharing the Burden: The Armenian Question, Humanitarian Intervention, and Anglo-American Visions of Global Order. Laderman talks about the mass killing and death of Armenians during the period that preceded and shortly followed the independence of the Turkish Republic. The subject of this episode focuses on the question of how this incident signaled the rise of a global order based simultaneously on liberalism, sovereignty, and a commitment to human rights. This event took place at the University of Texas at Austin and was sponsored by the Clements Center. 

The shift in usage from “garbageman” to “sanittion worker” was not cosmetic but an acknowledgement of what – and who -- helps a city survive, says the artist-in-residence of the New York Department of Sanitation. Music from Hubby Jenkins.

In Sharing the Burden: The Armenian Question, Humanitarian Intervention, and Anglo-American Visions of Global Order (Oxford University Press, 2019), Charlie Laderman exposes the way that imperial ambitions suffused the ideas and practices of turn-of-century humanitarian intervention. Beginning his story in the late 19th century Ottoman Empire, Dr. Laderman demonstrates how the successive waves of violence perpetrated against Armenian Christians provoked new ways of thinking about imperial governance, the practice of intervening on humanitarian grounds, and notions of “civilization” itself. Laderman's book opens in the mid-19th century Ottoman Empire, when both Eastern and Western European states stood poised to further destabilize the Ottoman government with repeated interventions and invasions into its territory, ostensibly on behalf of the Ottoman Empire's non-Muslim subjects. The Ottoman administration's precarity, coupled with intensifying religious and ethnic tensions along the Empire's far-flung borders, created conditions that were ripe for violence and abuse. By the 1890s, this violence became directed squarely at the Armenian Christian minority in the eastern province of Anatolia. The repeated waves of violence committed against the Armenian Ottomans after 1894 became what both Laderman and his historical actors call the “Armenian Question”—a problem that British and U.S. officials, American missionaries, and the broader American public became increasingly desperate to “solve.” Laderman structures his book around the kinds of “solutions” that American and British politicians, missionaries, and journalists proffered in response to escalating violence toward Armenians. In Laderman's telling, the Armenian massacres became a lens through which British and American officials came to interpret the practices of “enlightened” versus “barbaric” imperial rule—and it made them puzzle whether or how a prospective Anglo-American alliance might secure a more “stable” and humanitarian global order. In recovering this history, Dr. Laderman challenges the notion that humanitarian intervention originated as a form of international politics only in the latter half of the 20th century. He ultimately demonstrates just how crucial the Armenian Genocide was in early 20th-century conceptions and praxes of imperial internationalism—and what this meant for the Anglo-American relationship and global governance more broadly after the First World War. Charlie Laderman is a Lecturer in International History at the War Studies Department of King's College, London. He was previously a Fox International Fellow and Smith Richardson Fellow in International Security Studies at Yale University, and a Harrington Faculty Fellow at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and Clements Center for National Security at the University of Texas, Austin. Sarah Nelson is a PhD candidate at Vanderbilt University's department of history, and a joint-PhD candidate in Comparative Media Analysis and Practice (CMAP).

In Sharing the Burden: The Armenian Question, Humanitarian Intervention, and Anglo-American Visions of Global Order (Oxford University Press, 2019), Charlie Laderman exposes the way that imperial ambitions suffused the ideas and practices of turn-of-century humanitarian intervention. Beginning his story in the late 19th century Ottoman Empire, Dr. Laderman demonstrates how the successive waves of violence perpetrated against Armenian Christians provoked new ways of thinking about imperial governance, the practice of intervening on humanitarian grounds, and notions of “civilization” itself. Laderman’s book opens in the mid-19th century Ottoman Empire, when both Eastern and Western European states stood poised to further destabilize the Ottoman government with repeated interventions and invasions into its territory, ostensibly on behalf of the Ottoman Empire’s non-Muslim subjects. The Ottoman administration’s precarity, coupled with intensifying religious and ethnic tensions along the Empire’s far-flung borders, created conditions that were ripe for violence and abuse. By the 1890s, this violence became directed squarely at the Armenian Christian minority in the eastern province of Anatolia. The repeated waves of violence committed against the Armenian Ottomans after 1894 became what both Laderman and his historical actors call the “Armenian Question”—a problem that British and U.S. officials, American missionaries, and the broader American public became increasingly desperate to “solve.” Laderman structures his book around the kinds of “solutions” that American and British politicians, missionaries, and journalists proffered in response to escalating violence toward Armenians. In Laderman’s telling, the Armenian massacres became a lens through which British and American officials came to interpret the practices of “enlightened” versus “barbaric” imperial rule—and it made them puzzle whether or how a prospective Anglo-American alliance might secure a more “stable” and humanitarian global order. In recovering this history, Dr. Laderman challenges the notion that humanitarian intervention originated as a form of international politics only in the latter half of the 20th century. He ultimately demonstrates just how crucial the Armenian Genocide was in early 20th-century conceptions and praxes of imperial internationalism—and what this meant for the Anglo-American relationship and global governance more broadly after the First World War.

Dead of Winter Festival is fast approaching, featuring possibly the finest line up of home grown talent this year. With such an abundance and variety of bands performing, Jake Laderman, drummer for one of the headliners, Clowns, says that being a part of proceedings is more fun than work."I think with things like this where there is just so many friends it's a little bit hard not to party," he laughed. "We've got so many friends from different states and so many cool bands... I'm probably just speaking for myself but it makes me really excited to go and play music and have a good time with everybody. I would say we won't be chilling that much... just a guess (laughs)."Clowns explored new territory with last years album 'Lucid Again', with a - dare we say it - more mature approach to the music and Laderman concedes even with the benefit of more than twelve months to analyze the finished product that the band is more than happy with the changes."Yeah, definitely," he affirmed. "It was a record where we tried a lot of new things and really wrote the album that we wanted to write. We have a really strict rule about not wanting to do the same thing all the time. We always wanna try new things and it keeps it interesting. 'Lucid Again' definitely has the most curveballs on it. We've got a record that we're working on currently that has a few curve balls on it in other ways with different directions and stuff like that on it."To hear more details about the next album, including when we can expect it, plus everything you need to know about Dead of Winter from an artists perspective, how the band is feeling about playing at Wacken Open Air, and some interesting things about overseas performing and a bit of early history on the band, tune in to the full audio interview.Kris PetersDEAD OF WINTER will be held over two venues - The Jubilee Hotel and The Tivoli - on July 7 and features Clowns, Frenzal Rhomb, Polaris, Ocean Grove, Pangaea, Alien Weaponry, Nancy Vandal, Desecrator, Black Rheno, Blowhard, Massic and heaps more.

The fastest growing religious group in the United States is the "nones," those who claim no religious affiliation.  Does this mean people are no longer religious?  Not so says Gary Laderman, professor of religion at Emory University and editor of the on-line magazine, Religion Dispatches.    People may be exiting organized religion but everything from sports to celebrity, music, sex, and violence can be the focus of religious ritual as well.   He speaks with me about baseball, Oprah, "beliebers" (Justin Bieber), war and more.   Dr. Laderman is the author of Sacred Matters: Celebrity Worship, Sexual Ecstasies, the Living Dead, and Other Signs of Religious Life in the United States.  Read some of his articles about religion in our time at Huffington Post.

What do Penn State and the Catholic Church Have in Common? With the arrest of Jerry Sandusky, former Penn State Football Defensive Coordinator, on molestation charges, and the subsequent scandal that rocked the renowned college football establishment, many asked how could this have been allowed to happen and why didn't anyone at Penn State stop it. Many have also asked how the years of sexual abuse could have been allowed to go unstopped in the Catholic Church as well. My guest was be Gary Laderman, Chair of the Department of Religion, Co-Director of the Graduate Division of Religion, and Professor of American Religious History and Cultures at Emory University in Atlanta Georgia. We discussed an article that Gary wrote for the online publication Religion Dispatches entitled: "Betraying a Sacred Trust: From Penn State to Dover Air Force Base". We talked about the "religion" of big money sports, particularly football, and the similarities between what was allowed to happen at Penn State and what was allowed to happen inside of the Catholic Church.
