Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KThe latest Segment of Notorious Mass Effect has Analytic Dreamz exploring BTS's highly anticipated fifth studio album Arirang, set for release on March 20, 2026—their first full group project in nearly four years following the completion of mandatory military service by all seven members: RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the animated trailer that symbolically links the album to a pivotal 1896 historical event: seven Korean students at Howard University who recorded the earliest known Korean audio in the U.S., including the first documented version of the traditional folk song "Arirang" on wax cylinders, now preserved at the Library of Congress. This story, reported in The Washington Post on May 8, 1896, involved students like Im Byung Goo and Ahn Jung Sik, supported by diplomat Suh Kwang Bum amid Korea's late-19th-century turmoil after the Sino-Japanese War and Queen Min's assassination.The album's 14 tracks draw from influences like trip-hop and old-school hip-hop, produced by Pdogg, Kevin Parker (Tame Impala), Flume, JPEGMAFIA, Mike WiLL Made-It, Ryan Tedder, and Diplo (executive producer on tracks including “Body to Body,” “FYA,” “Like Animals,” “One More Night,” and “Into the Sun”). The concept emphasizes maturity, cultural resilience, connection, distance, and reunion—echoing "Arirang" as Korea's unofficial anthem with over 60 regional variations.Visuals feature the members in formal suits inspired by early 20th-century portraits, mirroring the 1896 students. The promotional campaign, "What Is Your Love Song?", includes interactive installations and billboards in Seoul, New York, London, and Los Angeles.Post-release highlights include the Netflix-livestreamed comeback concert BTS The Comeback Live | ARIRANG on March 21, 2026, at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, plus the 2026 BTS World Tour: ARIRANG launching April 9 in Goyang, South Korea—spanning 82 shows across 34 cities on five continents, with North American stops in Tampa, Las Vegas, Baltimore, Toronto, Chicago, and Los Angeles.Analytic Dreamz analyzes how this comeback bridges BTS's global K-pop dominance with deep Korean heritage, marking a reflective evolution for the group.Tune in for a detailed cultural and musical breakdown of BTS's Arirang era.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Already Topping the American & British Soul charts.Melba Moore has done it all, twice. At the tender age of 10, Melba notes that it was then that she was introduced to music and that “I didn't have any music in my life before my mother married my stepfather. He introduced music into our home and into my life.” From that moment forward, Melba began to develop her 5-octave, note-holding soprano that would soon bring audiences to their feet. Theater: Won a Tony Award for best featured actress in a musical for her role in the musical "Purlie," Replaced Diane Keaton in the Broadway musical "Hair" Was first African American woman to play the female lead in the musical "Les Misérables" on Broadway. The Newark, NJ Arts High School graduate started doing recording sessions after a chance meeting with singer/songwriter/composer Valerie Simpson (of Ashford & Simpson). That opportunity in the studio led Melba in the company of the Broadway musical “HAIR!” First in the ensemble of the show, Melba's name was tossed into the conversation when actress Diane Keaton left the show and Melba took the female lead and broke all the rules, being the first Black woman to replace a white actress in a featured role on Broadway. The journey of Melba's career took her meteorically from there to the lead of “PURLIE,” a musical adaptation of a play written by acting husband and wife pioneers Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. That role and its musical soundtrack would earn Moore a Grammy nomination as Best New Artist in 1971 and a Tony Award for Best Featured ActressTelevisionStarred in her own sitcom, "Melba Melba's Career continues with2024 Live Apperances at 54 Below in New York City this Spring.

Last year, in Episode 217, listeners were introduced to Hannah Smith. Born in 1767, Hannah was the matriarch of the non-conformist Smith Family of Glastonbury. In the 2020s, her diaries inspired Leonard Raybon, a music professor at Tulane, to compose an original mini-musical based on her writings. You can view the debut performance of "Hannah and Her Daughters" here. This episode focuses on the next generation of the Smith family. Hannah Hickock married Zephaniah Smith of Glastonbury in 1786, and their marriage produced five daughters. Two of the daughters became nationally famous in the 1870s, around the time of the Bicentennial, for their stance in favor of women's suffrage. Natalie Belanger is joined by Diane Hoover, Education Director of the Glastonbury Historical Society, who told her about the Smith sisters' upbringing, their many talents, and how the two youngest became involved in the suffrage fight – in a protest that centered around their pet cows. You'll also hear about Julia Smith's achievements as a Biblical scholar, and how a romantic entanglement at the age of 87 provides a rather sad end to her remarkable life.

In 2013, historian Rhae Lynn Barnes was researching blackface in America at the Library of Congress when she encountered something strange: Various primary sources on the subject were listed as "missing on shelf." It turns out that a librarian had purposely hid the materials to keep it from the KKK, which had a resurgence in the ‘80s. Barnes's new book, ‘Darkology,' looks at the proliferation of racist minstrel shows, and how amateur blackface became one of the most popular forms of entertainment in America in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Barnes also explains how blackface fell out of fashion and then ultimately became taboo. “It is our patriotic duty as American citizens [to] help make sure that the American public has access to our history in all of its complexity,” she says.

THE 1,400-YEAR WAR: Raymond Ibrahim on the Real History of Islam Is the "History of Islam" being systematically sanitized in Western schools? In this explosive episode, world-renowned historian and former U.S. Library of Congress scholar Raymond Ibrahim joins the show to dismantle the "grievance narrative" of Jihad. While the West is told that modern violence is a response to recent foreign policy, Ibrahim uses his fluency in Arabic to reveal ancient texts that prove a 1,400-year continuity of conquest. We dive deep into the Persecution of Christians, both historical and modern, and how the 7th-century Arab conquests "swallowed" three-quarters of the original Christian world. Ibrahim exposes the doctrine of Taqiyya (strategic deception), the Sword Verse that commands the subjugation of "People of the Book," and the legal reality of Dhimmitude. From the "Double-Speak" of Al-Qaeda to the Creeping Sharia and the Fall of Europe, this conversation reveals why the West is currently losing a civilizational war it refuses to admit is happening. We specifically discuss the takeover of the West through institutional infiltration, highlighting the surreal reality of New York officials like Zohran Mamdani transforming New York.

"I ran across an article listing musicians who are in both the Rock and the Country Halls of Fame. There aren't many. When I started looking into it further I found that the people on the list were in multiple other Halls of Fame as well. I wanted to find out what musician is in the most Halls. There is a clear winner."

By the time anyone reads or listens to this podcast, the situation with Iran may be completely different than when I write this. In keeping with the intent of this podcast series, however, I thought it might be worthwhile to explore the possibility of intervention in Iran in a way that is in line with the enduring principles of war. In doing this I am not advocating such an intervention. Neither do I express any opinion about whether or not it is even a good idea. My intent is to frame a possible military intervention within the framework of time proven successful strategy and Just War criteria. Given the record of U.S. military interventions following the first Gulf War, I am confident that whatever we do regarding Iran will completely ignore that framework.

Est-ce que ça vous est déjà arrivé de recevoir un ordre d'un parent, d'un patron, d'un professeur, d'un directeur, ou tout ce que vous voulez… et de vraiment, vraiment pas avoir envie d'y obéir ? Mais, je précise : pas par paresse ou par manque de motivation, non : parce qu'au plus profond de votre conscience, il y a quelque chose qui bloque ? Eh bien il y en a certains, dans l'Histoire, qui sont restés célèbres parce qu'ils ont osé désobéir, même quand l'ordre venait d'un juge, d'un policier, ou d'un militaire ! C'est ce qu'on appelle des objecteurs de conscience, et je vous propose d'explorer un peu ce que ça cache, à partir d'un exemple qui est resté célèbre : celui de Desmond Doss, un soldat américain engagé pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale…Bonne écoute !

In this episode, I'll take you back in time more than 200 years for a look at an unsolved mystery involving a very famous person. In 1812, Theodosia Burr, daughter of politician Aaron Burr, vanished while sailing to visit her infamous father. Was her ship caught in a storm, sunk by the British, taken over by pirates, or something even worse? And what about the mysterious painting believed to be of Theodosia that showed up years later?SOURCES“Aaron Burr.” Wikipedia, September 19, 2025. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Burr. Berry, C.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1322 The Great Giant Erasure: Who Buried America's Ancient Titans? For more than a century, American newspapers reported astonishing discoveries: enormous human skeletons unearthed from ancient burial mounds — some said to stand eight or nine feet tall, with double rows of teeth and even horned skulls. Then, almost overnight, the reports vanished. Were these early accounts hoaxes, misidentified remains, or fragments of a forgotten chapter of human history quietly buried? Investigative journalist Kristan T. Harris has combed through Library of Congress archives and historical collections, cataloguing more than a thousand newspaper reports of giant skeleton discoveries across North America. Tonight, we explore the evidence, the disappearances, and the enduring question: were giants myth… or suppressed history? GUEST: Kristan T. Harris is an independent investigative journalist and co-founder of The Rundown Live, known for blending frontline citizen journalism with deep archival research into hidden history and power structures. His reporting during the George Floyd and Kenosha unrest drew national attention, while his investigative work has included releasing Ghislaine Maxwell trial transcripts, uncovering sealed FBI documents through FOIA, and contributing to documentaries on government secrecy and media manipulation. A former MUFON investigator with a passion for the esoteric, Harris has spent years researching historical newspaper archives — cataloguing more than a thousand reports of giant human skeleton discoveries across North America.

Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Christopher Lewis, son of comedian, writer, director & auteur Jerry Lewis. Ostensibly, we spoke to Christopher to talk about the publication of the book he shepherded from his father's archive, Jerry Lewis On Being a Person. But what we got was quite a bit more as we had hoped. Christopher sat down with us for quite some time to talk about his father and what it was like being the son of "The King of Comedy" which we learned, became his monicker after the Martin Scorsese film was released. We also learned about – and you knew this was coming, how could it not? – the unreleased film, The Day The Clown Cried. Perhaps the most talked about film no one has ever seen, heard from Christopher what is holding up its release to this day & why he thought it was never released. We also dug into some fantastic things like the films his dad made for himself and not a studio with stars of the day which was totally fascinating. We spoke about his time in Vegas as part of the MDA Telethon, the Jerry Lewis donation to the Library of Congress, the forgotten TV show of the 70s Pink Lady and Jeff (trust me, it's a corker) and which comedian made him laugh. And without further adieu, we bring you Christopher Lewis about "Le Roi du Crazy," his dad, Jerry Lewis.
The Library of Congress has revealed the latest works to be entered into the National Film Registry. Mike shares what 25 films made the cut and why he is surprised to find that many American classics still have not been added. He shares his Top 10 Movies that should be considered in the next class of films. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Send Help starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brian. It’s about a woman and her overbearing boss who become stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. They must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it's a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive. Mike shares why he thinks Sam Raimi movies might be misunderstood, why non-horror like Kelsey might enjoy it, why Rachel McAdams stepped away from Hollywood and the Spider-Man 4 movie we were robbed of. In the Trailer Park, Mike breaks down The Devil Wears Prada 2 that offers our first real look at where the characters are now, nearly two decades after “Runway” magazine first ruled their lives. Will it be the best No. 2 movie of the year? New Episodes Every Monday!

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is often seen as the problematic byproduct of modern lifestyles that threatens our planet's stability – at least within conversations among environmentalists. But this perspective overlooks the fundamental role of CO2 in everything on Earth, from the food we eat to the houses we live in to our bodies themselves. Despite this reality, the carbon cycle as we know it has been interrupted in ways never before seen in Earth's history. How could understanding the deep history of CO2, as well as humanity's relationship with this controversial and vital molecule, help us prepare for the planetary changes ahead? In this episode, Nate is joined by science journalist Peter Brannen, who reframes CO2 from an industrial pollutant to a miraculous substance whose critical role within the carbon cycle makes Earth habitable. Peter traces our planet's history through the lens of CO2, including mass extinctions, Snowball Earth events, and the surprisingly stable Holocene period that has cradled human civilization. Peter also addresses humanity's current impact on the carbon cycle, the complexity and resilience of Earth's ecosystems, and the challenges we face as we push climate systems we don't fully understand into unknown territory. How is the carbon cycle unexpectedly connected to the origins of oxygen, dozens of major and minor mass extinctions, and even the beginning of civilizations? How do humanity's current CO2 emissions compare to those of Earth's past? And could understanding the deep time of geology inspire both cosmic wonder and precautionary action, subsequently pushing us towards better decisions for the future? (Conversation recorded on September 23rd, 2025) About Peter Brannen: Peter Brannen is an award-winning science journalist and contributing writer at The Atlantic, with particular interests in geology, ocean science, deep time, and the carbon cycle. His work has also appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Wired, Aeon, The Boston Globe, Slate and The Guardian among other publications. His book, The Story of CO2 is the Story of Everything, was published earlier this year by Ecco, who also published his previous book, The Ends of the World, about the five major mass extinctions in Earth's history. Peter was a 2023 visiting scholar at the Kluge Center at the Library of Congress, and is an affiliate at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado-Boulder. He was formerly a 2018 Scripps Fellow at CU-Boulder, a 2015 journalist-in-residence at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center at Duke University, and a 2011 Ocean Science Journalism Fellow at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, MA. His essays have been featured in the Best American Science and Nature Writing series and in The Climate Book by Greta Thunberg.

This week we look back at John Carpenter's horror classic The Thing. This movie had the unfortunate timing of releasing two weeks after E.T. in June of 1982. Considered frightening, horrifying, and repellent at the time, it would go on to become a cult hit on home video and is now regarded as one of the greatest horror films of all time. Recently, it also had the honor of being added to the National Film Registry for preservation at the Library of Congress for its cultural, historic and aesthetic importance. Join us as we discuss the impact this movie had and how it holds up today.https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-thing-1982--69862454#horror #movie #film #80s #johncarpenter #kurtrussell #thething #Thing #alien #monster #winter #Antarctica #thaw #glacier #bleak #snow #ufo New Generation Video t-shirts in stock!

Before he left office, President Joe Biden came to Arizona and formally apologized for the federal government's role in running boarding schools designed to forcibly assimilate Indigenous children. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, Biden's words still carry meaning as one group continues fulfilling a promise from his administration. “Children would arrive [at] school, clothes taken off – their hair that they were told was sacred was chopped off. Their names [were] literally erased, replaced by a number or an English name.” At least 526 facilities were built nationwide and resulted in more than 3,000 deaths. “The pain it has caused will always be a significant mark of shame, a blot on American history.” An enduring pain Deb Haaland, Biden's Interior secretary and the daughter of a boarding school survivor, began trying to heal. “For decades, this terrible chapter was hidden from our history books, but now our administration's work will ensure that no one will ever forget.” More than a year later, healing continues within the Gila River Indian Community. “It feels like just yesterday that we were doing our opening, and we were standing up here and telling you how we were going to make this week be a safe space for you.” That's Lacey Kinnart (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians) with the nonprofit National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition. Their group came to Gila River as part of a national tour collecting boarding school testimonials. They aim to document 400 survivors by the end of the tour. Each video recording will be accessible through the Library of Congress. “One of my favorite things about this work that we do is being able to see healing happening right in front of our eyes.” Charlee Brissette is an oral history program co-director and from the same tribe as Kinnart. “We don't say that we're the healers, but we offer space for healing to happen. By the end of the week too, a lot of our relatives that have shared their story with us come back, because they're like family now.” Like boarding school survivor Ramona Klein, who is from the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa in North Dakota and sits on the nonprofit's board. “I know what it was like for me, so I'm hoping it was kind of like that for them, because there's a relief.” Their intimate project involves a lot of aftercare, with the nonprofit remaining mindful of mental health. “Each survivor will be contacted by the person who interviewed them in the next week or so, and then we continue to follow up for the next year. In addition to that, we offer a healing circle that's virtual. We want to be very cognizant that we don't open up wounds and hurt people.” The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition will stop in Denver, Colo. February 23-27, 2026, to continue its Oral History Project. (Courtesy Rep. Sharice Davids / Facebook) U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids (Ho-Chunk/D-KS) reintroduced this week the Native American Entrepreneurial Opportunity Act to strengthen the Small Business Administration's Office of Native American Affairs, and expand support for Native entrepreneurs. Speaking on the House floor, Rep. Davids said Native entrepreneurs face unnecessary barriers to accessing the tools and resources they need to grow, create jobs, and compete. She says the bill strengthens programs so they can better meet those needs. To introduce the legislation, Davids was joined by U.S. Reps Eli Crane (R-AZ), Jake Ellzey (R-TX), and Kelly Morrison (D-MN). Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

With the announcement of Apple TV's recent agreement to make movies and TV (and probably some money) based on Brandon Sanderson's prolific fantasy books, the attention of The Guys turns to the only streaming service that tastes good ala mode. Whilst they wait for the Mistborn movie to arrive, there is plenty more to watch that is already beloved. Ted Lasso is coming back, For All Mankind returns, and some of us haven't even watched Pluribus yet. Apple TV seems the place to be for geeks, with or without the Plus. In Geeks of the Week, Jay - who declared himself “Lord of the Guys” - tells of a classic coming to the BBC but isn't sure how to watch it from the USA. Robbie catches everyone up on the 2025 list of movies the Library of Congress thinks they should watch. And Art shares news of the passing of comics artist Sal Buscema. Grab a piece of hot apple pie and listen.

In fact the halftime show has never been better watched. We have a long list of ratings and demographics to show that the NFL seems to know what they are doing."
"We are coming into tax season so Tammy and will talk about paying the government. The HITS Act is now in full swing. Foreign governments are changing their tax codes for musicians and we also have a list of what you might not have known was tax deductible."

Our annual tradition kicks off once more, despite delays from both us and the Library of Congress (thanks government shutdowns). Once again, Mike & Tom went in blind, avoiding finding out what got in this year until Kyle revealed it to them live on air. Hear the boys react to a slate of six underseen silent films and then...well, the shelf at a Blockbuster Video in 2003. Enjoy! Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale
"In our New Year show we related an article that suggested that 3D spatial audio was going to be popular in 2026. Tammy asked for an explanation of 3D audio so here it is. We have examples of both new songs and classic music that has been remixed into a spatial audio format."
The killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are called what they really are—lynchings carried out by Trump's armed thugs who were then protected from investigation and sent back out on the streets. A direct line connects decades of right-wing hate radio promising to eliminate liberals to today's fascist violence, explaining why there will be no magical "national awakening" to save us. Never Trump pundits who now support "Defund ICE" after spending years attacking Democrats over "Defund the Police" get dismantled for their hypocrisy, with an explanation of why better messaging won't fix a problem caused by the right's massive propaganda machine. The only path forward is relentless pressure, cutting off money and legitimacy to Republicans, and refusing to forget what they've done when this is over.Cover photo credit: The Library of Congress via PBS.Links for this episode: Driftglass and Bluegal on The Bill Show!

As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Peculiar Satisfaction: Thomas Jefferson and the Mastery of Subjects (Fordham UP, 2025) examines how the ideals and contradictions of the nation's founding live on in libraries, archives, and museums. Thomas Jefferson championed an informed citizenry as essential to democracy, yet the systems he built to organize knowledge reinforced racial and ideological hierarchies that persist today. Melissa Adler explores Jefferson's lasting influence on public institutions, from his personal library, which became the foundation of the Library of Congress, to his archival practices in government record-keeping and his museum at Monticello as a site of colonial knowledge production. Through an interdisciplinary lens, she reveals how his methods of classification and preservation shaped national memory and democratic participation. Drawing from archival research and critical theory, Peculiar Satisfaction exposes the paradoxes of access, exclusion, and control embedded in information systems. As censorship and disinformation threaten democracy, Adler argues that understanding these foundational structures is essential to defending the role of knowledge in public life. Melissa Adler is Associate Professor at Western University (London, Ontario) in the Faculty of Information & Media Studies. She is the author of Cruising the Library: Perversities in the Organization of Knowledge (Fordham) Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology. She is co-author of What Primary Sources Teach: Lessons for Every Classroom (2022) and The Social Movement Archive (2021), and co-editor of Armed By Design: Posters and Publications of Cuba's Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (2025).

In this special episode of CounterPunch Radio, Bill Ayers, friend of Pilsen Community Books and fellow podcaster at Under the Tree, introduces Amos Kennedy and fellow artists and activists Monica Trinidad and Chi Nwosu. This evening at Pilsen Community Books in Chicago included a packed-house crowd for a celebration for the release of Citizen Printer by renowned letterpress printer Amos P. Kennedy, Jr. A self-described “humble negro printer,” Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr., is internationally recognized for his type-driven messages of social justice and Black power, emblazoned in rhythmically layered and boldly inked prints made for the masses. Borrowing words from civil rights heroes such as Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, Frederick Douglass, and Sojourner Truth, Kennedy issues fearless statements on race, capitalism, history, and politics—along with plenty of witty truisms—in his exuberant, colorful, and one-of-a-kind posters and handbills. Amos P. Kennedy, Jr. was working a corporate job when, at nearly forty, he discovered the art of letterpress printing on a tour of Colonial Williamsburg. Kennedy then devoted himself to the craft, earning an MFA in graphic design at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He now operates Kennedy Prints!, a letterpress printshop in Detroit. He has exhibited in dozens of museums and galleries across the United States, including the Library of Congress, and the libraries of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Monica Trinidad (she/they) is a queer Latine visual artist, communicator, and cultural strategist. A lifelong Chicagoan, Monica has created zines, graphics, mixed media posters, communication strategies, and plans highlighting youth-led, intergenerational, and intersectional grassroots organizing work in Chicago and nationally. Chi Nwosu is a Black, non-binary, queer, Nigerian artist based in Chicago. Their work is an alchemy of cultural narratives that centres marginalised experiences and utilises potent cultural, political, and spiritual symbols. Chi's art invites viewers to imagine collective liberation, envisioning communities rooted in kindness, compassion, and care. Please, head over to Pilsen Community Books and pick up some books!
