Ashton Lattimore joins us to discuss Runner, her soapy, escapist historical adventure set on Prohibition-era Martha's Vineyard, where secrets, danger, and ambition collide.This week on Book Gang, I'm joined by Ashton Lattimore, whose new novel Runner is a standout historical adventure that brings Prohibition-era Martha's Vineyard to life. Ashton shares the real-life shipwreck that planted the seed for her story, the meticulous research behind her 1920s language and setting, and how she balances soapy drama with hard-hitting history. If you love novels where you learn something new while being swept away by twists and secrets, this episode is for you.In this week's episode, we discuss:

Black on Black Cinema tackles Trump's ongoing assault on American landmarks. The East Wing of the White House was abruptly demolished last October, sparking legal battles over the approval process. Now the Kennedy Center is facing demolition threats over his childish desire to have his name on the building. The historic East Potomac cherry blossom grove; a 1912 gift from Japan is at real risk as Trump terminates a 50-year lease to build a "championship" golf course, with debris from the demolished East Wing literally dumped on the same site. The Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting Pool sits in disarray after a botched, unbid renovation.We ask the harder question: why does this president's legacy consistently manifest as destruction rather than creation? And as Black people, we sit with the real complexity here, many of these landmarks were built by enslaved people, monuments to a history that never fully included us. Is preservation even our fight? We land somewhere honest: this is still our country, our history, our capital, and watching it get torn down for spite and a golf handicap isn't something we're willing to be apathetic about, however complicated our relationship to these buildings really is.The next film to be review will be "I Love Boosters," written and directed by Boots Riley. The film follows a group of shoplifters who take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven by stealing her clothes and reselling them at a lower price, what they call "fashion-forward philanthropy."Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community. We review Black films across every genre — from Black horror and Black sci-fi to indie dramas, comedies, and blockbuster action. Covering filmmakers like Spike Lee, Jordan Peele, Ryan Coogler, Ava DuVernay, and more. Hosted by Jay, Micah, Terrence, and T'ara. Featured on RogerEbert.com. A TNP Studios production.

What do a 3,000-year-old Egyptian temple, the London Bridge, a 200-foot lighthouse, and an entire Swedish mining town have in common? They were all picked up and moved.This week, Jeremy and Amy dig into the true stories behind history's most audacious relocations: how UNESCO cut Abu Simbel into massive blocks and rebuilt it on higher ground to escape the flooding of the Aswan Dam; how the London Bridge ended up spanning a channel in Lake Havasu City, Arizona; how engineers moved the 4,800-ton Cape Hatteras Lighthouse 2,900 feet inland to save it from the sea; and how Kiruna, Sweden is in the middle of a decades-long move — church, homes and all — because the ground beneath it is literally collapsing.____________________________________S04 Ep178____________________________________Connect with us on social media: Instagram: @unscaledtravelshowTwitter: @fullmetaltravlrFacebook: @fullmetaltravelerWebsite: ⁠⁠https://www.unscaledtravelshow.com/

Michael Kelley joins Chris and Amy for the whole hour. They discuss the state supreme court's ruling on Missouri redistricting; Mayor Spencer's involvement in a texting issue in the City; the high number of tattooed people in St Louis; and what landmarks should return?

There are a few anatomy landmarks of the abdomen, some of them bony, that we can palpate and use to understand what structures lie deep to the skin here. We can also use them to divide up the abdomen into either 4 imaginary quadrants or 6 regions to help use describe signs or symptoms to others. 

Chris and Amy visit with MissouriNet's Ashley Byrd about the Missouri supreme court case regarding re-districting; what St Louis landmark businesses would you like to return?; Amanda Hoover from Business Insider on how bosses are complaining about Gen Z in the workforce; back to British slang and its use in Missouri.

What if some of the most fascinating stories in the world are right in front of us and we simply aren't noticing?On this episode of Speaking of Travel, I'm joined by award-winning travel journalist and National Geographic contributor Ronan O'Connell, author of Hidden in Plain Sight. Ronan takes us beyond the postcard view to uncover the forgotten stories, mysteries, history, and human experiences hidden within some of the world's most iconic places.Our conversation becomes a deeper exploration of curiosity and what happens when we slow down enough to really see what's around us. Ronan is thoughtful, wise, funny, and endlessly curious, and his perspective may make you look at familiar places, and perhaps even your own life, a little differently.As Ronan reminds us:“Even in this modern age, there's still a lot of mystery. There's still a lot of things right in front of your face you might not be noticing that are fascinating and important.”Maybe one of the greatest gifts of travel is not simply seeing somewhere new, but learning how to truly notice.Tune in and discover what you may have been missing, hidden in plain sight.Only on Speaking of Travel!

In Empire and Liberty: The Tied Histories of Two American Landmarks (Beacon Press, 2026), historian Dr. Vaneesa Cook examines the history of the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty in order to consider, more broadly, the United States' relationship with liberty and empire. Empire and liberty have been part of the American story since the founding, but they are often at odds, sometimes irreconcilably so. Cook examines their changing relationship and meaning using these two iconic buildings as anchors. She also examines the symbolism and importance of the landmarks themselves. She considers how individuals and groups who have had more limited access to liberty have tried to shape the meaning of the symbols and their own rights at the same time. In telling this sweeping history, Cook touches in themes of American identity and ideals. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Empire and Liberty: The Tied Histories of Two American Landmarks (Beacon Press, 2026), historian Dr. Vaneesa Cook examines the history of the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty in order to consider, more broadly, the United States' relationship with liberty and empire. Empire and liberty have been part of the American story since the founding, but they are often at odds, sometimes irreconcilably so. Cook examines their changing relationship and meaning using these two iconic buildings as anchors. She also examines the symbolism and importance of the landmarks themselves. She considers how individuals and groups who have had more limited access to liberty have tried to shape the meaning of the symbols and their own rights at the same time. In telling this sweeping history, Cook touches in themes of American identity and ideals. Learn more about your ad choices.

Eine Metropole auf zwei Kontinenten, getrennt durch Wasser. Fünfzehn Millionen Menschen, die größte Stadt Europas, Hügel so steil, dass deine Schritte-App durchdreht, und abends wartet eine kleine orange Katze darauf, dass du nach Hause kommst.Camilla war in Istanbul. Jochen träumt schon lange davon, kommt als Journalist aber gerade nicht so leicht hin. Also hat die Chefin übernommen und alles mitgebracht, was diese Stadt ausmacht.Istanbul ist laut, riesig, fordernd. Aber das Geheimnis liegt in den Pausen. Du steigst auf eine Fähre, trinkst Tee aus dem Glas, und plötzlich wird diese riesige Stadt zwischen zwei Kontinenten für zwanzig Minuten ganz still. Du setzt dich auf eine Bank, und schon streicht dir eine Katze ums Bein. Du stehst in der blauen Stunde vor der Blauen Moschee und bekommst eine Gänsehaut, die du nicht bestellt hast.Dazwischen isst du dich durch eine Metropole, die weder die saure Gurke noch den süßen Cheesecake auslässt. Fermentierte Säfte to go, ein Maiskolben vom Wagen auf dem Weg zur Fähre und immer, wenn der Trubel zu groß wird, hilft derselbe Tipp: geh einmal mehr um die Ecke. Hinter der nächsten Straße, hinter einer unscheinbaren braunen Holztür, wartet manchmal eine ganze Oase. Oder ein kleines neues Abenteuer.—Unsere Werbepartner findet ihr hier.
