Liebe kann viele Formen haben. Sie beginnt manchmal mit einem Blick, wächst durch gemeinsame Jahre und trägt Menschen durch schöne und schwierige Zeiten. Doch wann nehmen wir uns eigentlich bewusst Zeit, diese Liebe zu feiern? Genau dazu lädt die Aktion „Einfach heiraten“ am 27. Juni im Nassauer Freiherr-vom-Stein-Park ein. Unter dem Motto „Eure Liebe. Gottes Segen.“ können Paare ihre Beziehung segnen lassen, ein Ehejubiläum feiern oder sogar kirchlich heiraten – unkompliziert, persönlich und an einem ganz besonderen Ort direkt an der Lahn. Doch was bedeutet ein Segen eigentlich? Warum berührt dieses Angebot so viele Menschen? Und was wünschen sich Paare heute von Kirche, Beziehung und Gemeinschaft? Darüber spreche ich heute mit Pfarrer Christoph Kiworr und Pfarrerin Mariesophie Magnusson.

In der ersten Folge unserer Kultur-Talk-Serie begrüßt Gastgeber Lars Reichow zwei Stimmen der rheinland-pfälzischen Kulturszene: Dr. David Maier und Prof. Dr. Jürgen Hardeck. Gemeinsam geht es auf eine musikalische Reise durch den Sommer in Rheinland-Pfalz – zu Festivals zwischen Rhein, Mosel und Lahn, besonderen Spielorten und der Frage, warum dieses Land seit Jahrzehnten so lebendig klingt. Im Gespräch geht es um kulturelle Identität, die Magie von Live-Erlebnissen, neugieriges Publikum und um Festivals, die heute weit mehr sind als ein Konzerttermin im Kalender: Sie sind Reiseanlass, Begegnungsort und ein Stück Rheinland-Pfalz-Gefühl. Hinweis: Diese Folge wurde am 11. Mai 2026 mit dem damaligen Kulturstaatssekretär aufgenommen.

This episode dives deep into the impact the MAHA movement has been having on the midterm elections. Zach Lahn was the first statewide candidate endorsed by MAHA Action, the movement's largest political action committee. Donald Trump supported the other candidate, Rob Sand. Lahn won. That doesn't mean Trump's influence is on the wane. But it does mean MAHA issues are moving votes. Also in this episode: Did we get DOGE'd on New World screwworm fly?

Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson are back in the Hendrickson Library with a packed episode covering Iowa's fast-moving post-primary political landscape. Both gubernatorial candidates have now selected their running mates: Rob Sand tapped Dave Muhlbauer, a farmer from western Iowa, while Zach Lahn chose State Representative Derek Wulf of Black Hawk County, also a farmer. Chris and John break down the strategy behind each pick, why Wulf stands out as a particularly strong choice for Lahn, and what the selection of two agricultural running mates signals about where both campaigns think the race will be won.The conversation turns to the broader general election dynamics shaping up between Lahn and Sand. Chris and John assess how quickly the Republican Party has consolidated around Lahn, the head start Sand's campaign has built toward a general election operation, and how the scrutiny of a real general election contest may complicate Sand's carefully constructed moderate image. A Republican Party audio drop this week — featuring Sand openly calling for political retribution on judicial nominations — gives the Lahn campaign exactly the kind of contrast material it needs to make the "governor for all Iowans" sell a harder one for Sand.The second half of the episode takes up two policy-driven stories. First, the final report on Iowa's Universal Basic Income pilot — a project run through several central Iowa cities that distributed $500 monthly stipends to participants. The report's conclusions, citing reduced stress and improved "sense of mattering," prompt a pointed exchange about what government is actually for, who's paying, and why local governments have no business engineering social outcomes with taxpayer dollars. Chris and John connect this directly to Iowa's property tax problem and the fiscal absurdity of local governments playing philanthropist.Finally, a Des Moines Register story on the city of Des Moines reconsidering its tax incentive programs — including TIF and property tax abatements — gives Chris and John a chance to explore when these tools have merit and when they're simply political ribbon-cutting at taxpayer expense.0:13 Welcome & housekeeping2:24 Trivia: Laddie Boy & Smoot-Hawley5:01 Correction & running mate announcements5:52 Sand picks Muhlbauer, Lahn picks Derek Wulf8:22 Why Wulf is a strong pick for Lahn10:32 GOP consolidation & Lahn's general election ramp-up12:22 Sand's media advantage and the contrast campaign ahead13:37 Sand audio drop & turning him into a generic Democrat14:34 Andy Beshear visits Iowa — 2028 implications15:32 Iowa's UBI pilot: background and ITR's role18:15 Dissecting the report — who pays for "feeling mattered"?21:22 UBI, local government overreach, and property taxes25:59 Des Moines reconsiders TIF and tax incentives28:05 When incentives work — and when they're ribbon-cutting30:33 Free market vs. government-directed development33:28 Sign off

It's Tuesday, June 9th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Vietnamese Communists have imprisoned 57 Christians Religious freedom is tenuous in Vietnam.  That's the subject of a new report by International Christian Concern.   At last count, Vietnam has 57 unreleased religious prisoners, five of whom were subjected to government-initiated torture. Pastors and evangelists are imprisoned for what is called “undermining national unity policy” or “abusing democratic freedoms”, whatever that is.   And Christmas is a dangerous time for Vietnamese Christians. That's when arrests accelerate in the Central Highlands, especially for believers who are caught worshiping in churches unsponsored by the communist government. State Dept. weighs in on the murder of a Brit by a Sikh Tensions between the United States and the United Kingdom have increased over the killing of a Brit named Henry Nowak. Last December, he was killed by a Sikh, a son of an Indian immigrant. The murderer had falsely accused Nowak of a hate crime.  Sadly, the police chose to believe the murderer instead of the victim in the crime.   In response, the U.S. State Department issued a statement pointing out “ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing” as “glaring symptoms of civilizational decline” in the United Kingdom.   Vice President J.D. Vance also stated on social media that “Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit.” Countries where the most Evangelicals live The most Evangelicals in the world live in -- you may have never guessed it -- China.    The Joshua Project puts China at the top with 106 million Evangelicals. The United States comes in second with 92 million Evangelicals. Then, comes Nigeria with 64 million, and Brazil with 53 million.   The other nations with the largest Evangelical populations include Ethiopia, Kenya, Mexico, and Uganda. Among the unreached nations of the world with the lowest Christian populations are these European countries: Austria, Finland, Greece, Greenland, Norway, and Sweden. Brazil's surge of Evangelicals and loss of Catholics Brazil has seen a surge of Evangelicals — now at 27%, up from 21.6% in 2010.  Brazil's atheist population grew from 8% to 9.3%. The nation's Roman Catholic population took the hit, losing about 8% since 2010. Catholics now represent only 56.7% of Brazilians. Catholicism made up 99% of the population back in 1890, according to the recently released Census of Traditional Peoples and Communities. New poll: America is viewed negatively America is viewed as increasingly unpopular worldwide while China is receiving higher marks for popular approval. Gallup's recent international poll found America at a 31% level vs. China's 36%.  That's the highest gap in history. America's net approval ratings have always dropped to the lowest levels in the history of the survey -- now at negative 15%. Trump's endorsed candidate for Iowa governor loses 8/10 of a point Iowa conservative Zach Lahn won the nomination for governor in a crowded Iowa GOP primary last week.  Lahn won his primary with just 38% of the vote — a close victory over Trump-endorsed Congressman Randy Feenstra, who earned 37.2% of the vote. Listen to the opening of Lahn's victory speech. LAHN: “I don't have to tell you this, but nobody thought this could be done. We were outspent, opposed by the establishment, told to wait our turn. Well, tonight the people of Iowa had something to say about that. We're not going to wait anymore!” (cheers) Lahn is a sixth generation Iowan who has spoken out against chemical manufacturers and Chinese land ownership here in the United States. Texas Rangers doesn't endorse homosexual pride month The LGBTQ and so-called “Pride Month” fervor has slowed greatly under the Trump administration, but not completely. Sports teams across the nation continue to celebrate Homosexual Pride Month. To their credit, the Texas Rangers are the only team in Major League Baseball to abstain from celebrating perverted lifestyles.  Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen opposes homosexual pride But some are still standing against homosexuality on a personal level.  Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen was the only player on his team who did not appear on the field in a homosexual “Pride” hat last Friday, standing by his convictions. The Los Angeles Dodgers organization has been known to openly support homosexuality, transgenderism, and drag.  Influencer Jon Root praises Treinen's actions. He wrote, “While other professed Christians, Dodgers [shortstop] Mookie Betts and manager Dave Roberts wore [homosexual transgender] “pride” hats, only Blake Treinen, [the pitcher], refused. Don't bow down to the idols of our age, Christians. Stand firm like Treinen.” Ephesians 6:13 says, “Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”  Send a two-sentence thank you note to Blake Treinen for standing against the homosexual agenda. The address is Los Angeles Dodgers, 1000 Vin Scully Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90012. Trump's $1.7 billion “anti-weaponization” fund shot down President Donald Trump's controversial $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund has been shot down by the courts and those within his own party. Several Republican senators objected to the newly created fund, which would have had taxpayers foot the bill and paid out victims of political persecution while also shielding the Trump family from federal tax review.  June 9th anniversary of Scottish missionary Columba And finally, on this date, June 9th, A.D. 597, the great Irish Christian missionary, Columba, went to be with the Lord. Columba, also known as Columcille, planted churches all over Scotland and established the famed missionary school on the isle of Iona in A.D. 563, a training ground for missionaries over the next several centuries.  Born around the year A.D. 521, Columba was in line to become a High King of Ireland, but chose to serve the Lord in foreign lands instead. Isaiah 52:7 states, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, June 9th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Erin Murphy, Des Moines Bureau Chief for The Gazette, analyses the Iowa primary election results from Tuesday. He'll look at the US Senate and gubernatorial primaries, examine other key results, describe the messages that voters sent, and take a peak at the Fall elections where all national eyes will be back on Iowa.

Iowa Republicans picked Zach Lahn over the Trump-backed Randy Feenstra in the gubernatorial primary. Lahn's a farmer who spoke about the pain of high fertilizer prices and cancer caused by pesticides, earning him support from the MAHA. Was this some rebuke of Trump, or just voters looking for the right person to make their lives better? Critics say ICE detainees face horrific conditions. Trump won over a lot of voters arguing that tough immigration policies were needed to keep the country safe. Does what's unfolding at these detention centers cross a line? Plus, the President's short-lived Anti-Weaponization Fund seems to be dead, and one listener asks when AI political ads cross a line. Producer: Leo DuranHost: David Greene Guests:  Mo Elleithee, executive director at Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service - @MoElleithee Sarah Isgur, senior editor at The Dispatch - @whignewtons

The Iowa primary is in the books, and Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson are back in the Hendrickson Library to break it all down. The headliner on the Republican side was the governor's race, where Zach Lahn edged out Congressman Randy Feenstra 38% to 37.2% — a razor-thin margin that nonetheless produced a clear nominee. Chris and John unpack what drove Lahn's late momentum, why Feenstra came up short despite his early advantages in money and name recognition, and what the rapid consolidation of Republican support behind Lahn says about where the party is headed.On the Senate side, Congresswoman Ashley Hinson dispatched Jim Carlin nearly 3-to-1 and enters the general as a formidable candidate. Democrats nominated Josh Turek over Zach Walz in a race that revealed the Schumer establishment's continued grip on the party machinery — and Chris and John assess whether Turek's positioning as a centrist will hold up under general election scrutiny. A handful of hotly contested legislative primaries also drew attention, including the upset loss of Rep. Jane Bloomingdale, the strong win by taxpayer champion Mike Bussell, and the survival of two incumbent senators despite well-funded challenges.Looking ahead to November, Chris and John preview what shapes up as a genuinely competitive fall cycle — a challenging environment for Republicans given the historical headwinds of a second presidential midterm, but one where Iowa's Republican registration advantage and strong candidates at the top of the ticket keep the outcome far from predetermined. The Lahn vs. Rob Sand governor's race figures to be a substantive, issues-driven campaign, and both hosts are eager to see the two square off in debates. Water quality, foreign land ownership, and school choice are among the issues likely to take center stage.Before closing, Chris flags a critically important ballot measure Iowa voters will decide this fall: a proposed constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds supermajority of the legislature to raise taxes. This is a major ITR priority. With states like Illinois and Colorado moving in the opposite direction — raising income taxes and eyeing progressive tax structures — Iowa has an opportunity to lock in a foundational taxpayer protection. Chris and John will have much more to say on this in the weeks and months ahead.

Steve reacts to a hodgepodge of stories from Aaron's montage, including Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) disassembling another lefty and why Iran cannot be negotiated with. Then, Hillsdale professor Dr. Matt Mehan joins the program to discuss his new book, "The American Book of Fables." In Hour Two, newly nominated Iowa Republican gubernatorial candidate Zach Lahn joins the program to discuss the issues that propelled him to the biggest 2026 primary upset so far.

Zach Lahn's stunning Iowa gubernatorial primary victory just revealed the future of American politics. Today, I examine why this race became the only major grassroots conservative victory of the election cycle and what lessons it offers for future campaigns across America. Unlike traditional Republican campaigns focused on generic talking points, Lahn built his campaign around issues that directly affect everyday Americans: medical freedom, food safety, property rights, privacy, family farms, foreign ownership of farmland, corporate monopolies, data center expansion, land use, and quality of life. However, this movement will not happen on its own without money and without moving away from the Trump corporate monopoly. I show how in every other race where we lack sufficient funding, we continue to get crushed even with a good message.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Zach Lahn, Scott Pelley, Bill Pulte, and the California jungle primary headline today's A.M. Update. In a photo finish, businessman Zach Lahn defeats Trump-endorsed congressman Randy Feenstra in Iowa's Republican gubernatorial primary by less than a percentage point, and Aaron says the MAHA coalition was the deciding factor. California's jungle primary has Steve Hilton leading the Republican pack while Tom Steyer and Xavier Becerra close strong on the Democratic side, raising the possibility that two Democrats could end up in the general. Trump names FHFA director Bill Pulte as acting DNI to replace Tulsi Gabbard, a pick Aaron notes will have trouble clearing the Senate. Scott Pelley is fired at CBS after going nuclear on Bari Weiss in front of the entire 60 Minutes staff, calling her a murderer of the show, and Aaron sides with Weiss. The Supreme Court clears Alabama to use its redrawn congressional districts, Mehmet Oz announces $50 Medicare GLP-1 coverage starting July 1st, and Aaron closes with Indiana Governor Mike Braun's nuclear family month proclamation and a viral video of a corporate employee who submitted a biblical take on pride to his company's own open-call campaign, after which the entire program was quietly shut down.

Results are in from several primary races in Iowa, California, and New Jersey, with votes still being counted for the California governor's race between Xavier Becerra, Steve Hilton, and Tom Steyer. Hilton has taken an early lead and could have Californian voters elect a Republican governor for the first time in 15 years. Current Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has advanced to the November ballot in the L.A. mayoral race, with Republican Spencer Pratt trailing just behind her. Meanwhile, in Iowa's gubernatorial race, Trump-backed Republican Randy Feenstra lost to businessman Zach Lahn by just 0.8 percent of the votes. Lahn will face Democrat Rob Sand in November.U.S. forces say they've intercepted multiple Iranian missiles and drones launched toward countries across the Middle East. U.S. CENTCOM says two Iranian missiles aimed at Kuwait fell short, while three more headed toward Bahrain were intercepted by U.S. and Bahraini air defenses. CENTCOM says it also disabled an oil tanker that was attempting to reach an Iranian port after ignoring repeated warnings from American forces.FBI Director Kash Patel has announced the launch of “Operation Summer Heat 2.0,” a nationwide crackdown targeting violent crime and drug trafficking. The first phase is called “Operation Turf War,” and Patel praised officers for giving their lives for the safety of communities and the nation. Last year‘s Summer Heat netted 8,600 arrests, 70,750 search warrants executed, 2,300 firearms taken off the street, and 45,000 kilograms (almost 100,000 lbs) of cocaine.

Chuck Todd walks through a primary night that was, in his words, a really good night for Democrats — and one that may have just answered whether 2026 is shaping up as a genuine blue wave. The night's biggest single story came out of Iowa, where Zach Lahn pulled off a stunning upset of Randy Feenstra in what Chuck characterizes as a "MAHA vs. MAGA" race — Trump endorsed the establishment Feenstra and lost, which Chuck predicts will drive the president absolutely nuts. Iowa Democrats also got a substantial ticket boost when Josh Turek blew out Zach Wahls in the Senate primary, and combined with the surprisingly strong gubernatorial candidacy of Rob Sand, Iowa is now the cleanest test case in the country for whether the political wind has truly shifted — a right-leaning state where the politics are visibly in flux. Chuck flags that Lahn can probably be painted as too far right in a general, that having "congressman" as your first name has become a real disadvantage in 2026, and that the night was an unambiguous positive for Democrats nationally. He also walks through results elsewhere: New Jersey's seventh district will see Tom Keane (still mysteriously MIA from his own campaign) face Rebecca Bennett; South Dakota's gubernatorial race is headed to its first-ever runoff after four candidates each cleared 20%, and Deb Haaland is on track to become the first Native American woman governor in U.S. history. The conversation then turns to California, where Chuck warns it will be days before we have full primary results but where turnout is already on pace to exceed 2022. He cautions viewers about the inevitable early "red mirage" from the mail-vote curve, predicts Hilton has enough of a lead over Steyer that he likely survives, and argues Xavier Becerra would much rather face Hilton than Steyer in a general — though a potential scandal is looming over Becerra that could reshape the whole race. Chuck argues a Becerra-Hilton race would be a conventional Democrat-versus-Republican contest, that Steyer has spent $500 million across his last two campaigns and still has a low ceiling because he's created a genuine sense of voter exhaustion, and that the single most fascinating race in the state right now is CA-06 and Kevin Kiley. The Los Angeles mayoral picture is clarifying too: Karen Bass and Spencer Pratt appear set to advance, which Todd argues is exactly what Bass wanted — it will be far easier to turn Pratt into a Trump acolyte in a general election than to face the formidable Nithya Raman. He notes that Matt Mahan became known as "big tech's candidate" in ways that genuinely hurt him, and closes with one to watch in Montana, where independent Seth Bodner is quietly hoping the Democratic candidate eventually bows out so he can consolidate the anti-incumbent vote into a real challenge.

Then, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings — the former Orlando police chief turned local executive who is now running for governor of Florida — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a candid conversation about the challenges of being a Democrat in modern Florida and the lessons his unusual career path (accountant, then cop, then mayor) brings to executive leadership. Demings reveals that Governor Ron DeSantis personally threatened to remove him from office over his opposition to ICE operations in Orange County, and uses that experience as the entry point to a broader discussion about what's gone wrong with American law enforcement. He argues you cannot solve police shortages by lowering recruiting standards — exactly what he says ICE did when it ramped up so quickly that screening and training went out the window, with the predictable consequence that ICE has now begun poaching trained officers from state and local departments. Demings makes the case that we have to get criminals off the streets but it has to be done lawfully, that state law enforcement should not be doing immigration work, and that being elected sheriff as a partisan position creates real tensions because the actual responsibilities of the job aren't partisan at all. He pushes back on the idea that he's running to be a "performance politician" and frames his candidacy as wanting to bring competent local-government experience to a state level that he says is suffering from leaders chasing viral moments rather than delivering services. The conversation turns to the structural challenges facing Florida and the deeper question of why Democrats can't win statewide in a state that's growing more diverse by the year. Demings argues Florida's underpaid state legislators simply don't attract quality talent, that many longtime Florida Democrats have left the party out of pure frustration, and that the party's central task is to restore basic public belief in government's capacity to function. He's willing to give DeSantis credit for diversifying and growing Florida's economy, but argues the state needs to find efficiencies rather than continually burdening local governments with expenses it should be covering itself — and points to slashed state mental health funding as a direct driver of the violent crime he sees in his community. Demings is sharp on Florida's climate exposure, arguing the state is building in places it absolutely should not be building, and that hurricane-hardened construction standards need a major overhaul, He flags the NAACP's call for athletes to avoid schools in remapping states as the kind of extreme response that extreme government actions inevitably provoke, and warns that the politics of division are starting to genuinely threaten Florida's tourism economy — meaning the state's longtime economic engine may finally be running into the consequences of the culture wars its leaders have spent the past decade fueling.

Rural America is under assault, and very few red-state gubernatorial candidates are running on emphatically fighting this war. I'm joined by Iowa regenerative farmer Zach Lahn, who is running for Iowa governor. Lahn lays out his vision for Iowa: a moratorium on new data centers, banning foreign ownership of farmland, stopping corporate monopolies hurting farmers, ending vaccine mandates, defending constitutional rights from the weaponized surveillance state, restoring healthy food systems, and protecting rural communities from the multifront assault on America's heritage and way of life. Lahn argues that Iowa should prioritize its farmers, families, land, and local communities instead of subsidizing multinational corporations and AI infrastructure projects.

Die Rollstuhl-Basketballer vom RSV Lahn-Dill aus Wetzlar haben am Sonntag gegen die Rhine-River-Rhinos aus Wiesbaden mit 62 zu 52 gewonnen - durch den zweiten Sieg im dritten Spiel sind die Mittelhessen ins Finale um die deutsche Meisterschaft eingezogen. Am Samstag hat die Polizei in Weilburg-Odersbach einen 18-jährigen mit einer scharfen Pistole festgenommen. Der junge Mann hat sich während einer Kontrolle losgerissen und nach einer Pistole gegriffen, die er im Hosenbund versteckt hat. Die Polizei schaffte es aber, ihn zu überwältigen und Schlimmeres zu verhindern. Seit mittlerweile fünf Jahren werden in Langgöns bei Gießen Feldhamster gezüchtet und anschließend gezielt ausgewildert - auch diesmal wieder im Kreis Gießen, in Frankfurt-Bergen-Enkheim und im südhessischen Pfungstadt. Knapp 100 putzige Nagetiere aus der Zuchtstation tragen dort jetzt in freier Wildbahn dazu bei, die vom Aussterben bedrohte Tierart in Hessen zu retten.

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable break down the Panthers' latest transfer portal additions and ponder whether the near-total roster overhaul can actually be a blessing for Jeff Capel's squad. This show is presented by FanDuel. In this day and age of college basketball, could it actually be a blessing in disguise that Capel's squad will be entirely rebuilt for next season? Are there examples where a complete roster overhaul has worked for struggling programs? Can Charleston Southern transfer A'lahn Sumler give Pitt what it's been missing for multiple years now — a proven ball handler and strong 3-point shooting? And what should Capel do with his remaining four spots? Our duo tackles those topics and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Zach Lahn is a first-time political candidate running in the 2026 Republican primary for Governor of Iowa. Never having held elected office, he launched his campaign from his family farm, positioning himself as a self-funded outsider independent of party leadership and corporate donors. His candidacy is rooted in a belief that Iowa needs leadership grounded in rural life rather than professional politics. Lahn's platform is socially conservative and economically populist, with a strong focus on agriculture and land ownership. He opposes foreign and corporate control of Iowa farmland and advocates for family farms over large agribusiness monopolies. Economically, he is critical of corporate consolidation and globalism, supporting antitrust action and policies that favor small businesses. On social issues, Lahn is anti-abortion, opposes gender-affirming medical procedures for minors, and emphasizes traditional family structures and parental control in education. He also runs on a tough-on-crime platform, with a focus on fentanyl trafficking and strong support for law enforcement.

Sørafrikanske Koleka Putuma er forfatter, dramatiker, slampoet, mentor og en kultfigur i det aktivistiske poesimiljøet. I en enkel, men hardtslående stil skriver hun om homofobi, transfobi, rasisme og kjønn, samtidig som hver linje er full av medmenneskelighet og kjærlighet.Hun brakdebuterte i 2017 med poesisamlingen Collective Amnesia, som utforsker den historiske rasismen i Sør-Afrika og dens virkninger, både i institusjonene og i kulturen. Siden da har hun gitt ut to kritikerroste diktsamlinger til.Dette er Putumas leseliste:* Vuyelwa Maluleke* Maneo Mohale, Everything Is a Deathly Flower* Busisiwe Mahlangu, Surviving Loss* Octavia Butler, The Parable of the Sower*Arinze Ifeakandu, God's Children Are Little Broken Things* D'bi.youngI denne podkastserien inviterer Stiftelsen Litteraturhuset forfattere og tenkere til å snakke om sine forfatterskap, lesepraksis og sin leseliste fra det afrikanske kontinentet og diaspora.Intervjuer i denne episoden er Åshild Lappegård Lahn.

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson cover everything from the latest developments in the 2026 Iowa governor's race to the broader political shifts shaping both Iowa and national politics. With new candidates entering the race and familiar names making their bids official, the hosts analyze how the field is taking shape and what it means for Republican voters.The conversation opens with the announcement of Congressman Randy Feenstra's official campaign launch and newcomer Zach Lahn's populist-leaning entry into the race. Chris and John discuss how both are positioning themselves — Feenstra emphasizing his record on tax reform and Lahn focusing on “Iowa First” and small-town preservation. They explore emerging themes like property rights, health care affordability, and foreign land ownership, noting that these issues reveal the shifting priorities within Iowa's conservative movement.Beyond the campaign trail, the hosts examine a recent Des Moines Register report highlighting the loss of more than 200,000 registered Democrats in Iowa over the past 15 years. They frame this as part of a broader realignment in American politics, where working-class voters in the Midwest have steadily moved toward the Republican Party. The discussion contrasts these demographic changes with suburban shifts in the opposite direction, explaining how Iowa's political map continues to evolve.The episode also touches on civility in politics — sparked by a recent town hall event featuring Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks — and the rising tension between public accountability and political grandstanding. The hosts close with a candid discussion of national tariff policy, including Donald Trump's proposal to send $2,000 rebate checks funded by tariffs, which both Chris and John sharply criticize as misguided economics that fails to reduce spending or debt.The show ends on a lighter note as the hosts share trivia, debate presidential rankings, and defend the enduring legacy of Ronald Reagan.

Manchmal fließen sie still, manchmal rauschen sie laut. Vom kleinen Rinnsal an der Quelle bis zur großen Wasserstraße wachsen Flüsse an und einige durchkreuzen unser Bundesland. Dabei sind die kleineren wie Fulda, Eder, Lahn und Kinzig vor allem touristisch interessant, während Rhein und Main auch mit der Berufsschifffahrt für die hessische Wirtschaft bedeutend sind. Nicht immer aber ist die Idylle ungetrübt. Verunreinigung, steigende Wassertemperatur und Niedrigwasser verändern das Leben im und am Fluss. Wie geht es unseren Flüssen?
