CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of sexual abuse of minors by clergy. While no explicit mentions are made of actions or abuse, listener discretion is advised. This one has been on our must watch list since it came out, and somehow it lingered for 10 years. In fact, you might suspect we did this series just to watch this movie, and you'd be at least a little bit right. Fortunately, the film doesn't disappoint, taking the well-worn movie journalism formula and taking it in a completely different direction. This movie is all about subtlety, accuracy, and most of all, real human storytelling. There's very few frills involved and very few liberties taken, which is the perfect way to tell the story of uncovering one of the most heinous abuses of power and trust in human history. There's no hero worship and no easy answers here, just plain great storytelling. No wonder it won Best Picture. We're finish on a high note with 2015's Spotlight on Have a Good Movie!

Der Titel der heutigen Episode ist: Populismus und Ordoliberalismus. Das ist wieder eine sehr spannende Episode, denn die Frage, was Populismus eigentlich ausmacht, wie man ihn sinnvollerweise definiert und verortet, scheint in Zeiten, wo solche Begriffe doch verstärkt aktivistisch eingesetzt werden, höchst relevant. Ich führe dieses Gespräch mit Nils Hesse, der als freier Ordnungsökonomen arbeitet, derzeit zwar in den USA lebt, sich aber mit Artikeln, Beiträgen oder als Host des R21-Klimapodcasts »Der Preis ist heiß« in die deutsche wirtschafts- und klimapolitische Debatte einbringt. Wissenschaftlich setzt er sich ideengeschichtlich und institutionenökonomisch mit dem Verhältnis von Ordoliberalismus und Populismus auseinander und schreibe dazu am Walter-Eucken-Institut an einer Habilitationsschrift. Diese Arbeit ist das Thema unseres Gesprächs. Wir beginnen das Gespräch mit der Frage, was eigentlich unter Populismus zu verstehen ist? Populistische Bewegungen unterscheiden zwischen Volk und Elite. Welche Ausprägungen des Populismus gibt es in Folge? Was ist der Zusammenhang zwischen Populismus und repräsentativer Demokratie? Welche politischen Folgen können von populistischen Gruppierungen abgeleitet werden? Wie ist Populismus zu bewerten? Ist »Populismus« als abwertende Marke, als politischer Kampfbegriff sinnvoll verwendet? Ist die Verwendung global einheitlich, oder unterscheidet sie sich im europäischen und US-amerikanischen Kontext? Wann und unter welchen Rahmenbedingungen wird der Populismus zum Problem? Welche Typen des Populismus gibt es? Was sind Trägergruppen des Populismus? Wie formen sich aus dem Populismus politisch (wirksame) Strömungen? Was bedeutet der Begriff der Elite? Wie ist diese definiert? Was bedeutet der Begriff »Nobilitas Naturalis« nach Röpke? Wie können die folgenden Gegenreaktionen auf Populismus beschrieben werden: Isolationsstrategie Strategie der Annäherung Beschäftigung mit den strukturellen Mängeln und Problemen, die zum Populismus geführt haben Warum werden intellektuelle und »abstraktere« Berufe von Populisten häufig abschätzig betrachtet? Was sind die Folgen davon? »Wenn man die Leute als radikal bezeichnet, dann gehen Leute, die mit diesen Zuschreibungen Probleme haben, eher weg, und die Leute, die drinnen sind, erkennen sich dann eher als bestätigt [von den Eliten ausgegrenzt]. Das führt dann eher dazu, dass sie sich weiter radikalisieren.« Werden wir zum Nanny-State, weil politische Entscheidungsträger glauben, immer mehr Aspekte der Gesellschaft durch Zentralisierung vermeintlich verbessern zu können? Wie ist das Rousseausche Rätsel aufzulösen? »Wie können wir frei sein, obwohl wir unter Regeln leben müssen, denen wir selbst nicht zugestimmt haben?« Welche Rolle spielt Dezentralisierung, und mit welchen praktischen Problemen ist man konfrontiert? Warum sind Repräsentationslücken ein Problem? Gibt es einen Volkswillen, den die Politik »erkennen« kann? Oder gibt es in einer freiheitlichen Gesellschaft prinzipiell sehr unterschiedliche Ziele, die zu respektieren sind? Wie ist das in der Praxis umzusetzen? Was hat Elinor Ostrom zum Problem der Tragedy of the Commons beigetragen? Auf welcher Ebene kann man sinnvollerweise welchen Mehrwert schaffen? Warum können Regelwettbewerbe sehr nützlich sein? Kommen wir zum Ordoliberalismus. Um welche politisch-ökonomische Strömung handelt es sich dabei? Wer hat ihn begründet, und warum ist es heute relevant, sich damit auseinanderzusetzen? Geschichtlich greifen wir hier auf die Zeit vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg zurück und dann auf die Verwerfungen, die sich durch die Weltkriege ergeben haben und das Deutschland der Nachkriegszeit substantiell definiert haben. Welche emanzipatorische Wirkung kann von der Marktwirtschaft ausgehen? Warum ist Machtkonzentration und die Vermischung von politischer und wirtschaftlicher Macht ein Problem, und wie kann dies vermieden werden? Welche Art der Wettbewerbsordnung entspringt diesen Überlegungen und Herausforderungen? Was ist die Basis einer freien und menschenwürdigen Gesellschaft? Führt all das zur sozialen Marktwirtschaft, einem nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg sehr erfolgsbewährten Konzept? Was hat all das für Deutschland der Nachkriegszeit bedeutet, was waren die Gründe für das Wirtschaftswunder? Woher kam der Konflikt mit den angelsächsischen Libertären, und was ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten geschehen? Sind diese Ideen auf die Probleme der heutigen Zeit anwendbar? Was sind die Prinzipien dieser Wirtschafts- und Gesellschaftsordnung, und warum war sie so erfolgreich? Können Märkte als anti-elitäre Maßnahmen verstanden werden? Was ist das Verhältnis zwischen Populismus und Marktwirtschaft? Wie ist die politische Orientierung der AfD, und wie ist deren Veränderung über die Zeit zu verstehen? Warum konnte sich der Ordoliberalismus international nicht durchsetzen? Erleben wir in den letzten Jahrzehnten, speziell in Mitteleuropa und Großbritannien, die Situation, dass die Probleme ständig zunehmen und die Regierungen glauben, diese mit immer stärkeren staatlichen Eingriffen zu lösen – wie es scheint, mit immer weniger Erfolg? Welche Rolle spielt die Europäische Union in dieser Gemengelage? Wie ist Javier Milei und dessen Politik – insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund der Geschichte Argentiniens – zu begreifen? Kann es uns in Deutschland, Frankreich, Großbritannien, Österreich gelingen, aus den schweren Verwerfungen und politisch herbeigeführten Krisen evolutionär herauszukommen, oder ist ein totaler Abstieg wie in Argentinien notwendig, bis wir die notwendigen Lehren ziehen? Anders ausgedrückt: Brauchen wir die Motorsäge, oder reicht der ordoliberale Unkrautstecher? Sind wir auf dem dauerhaften Weg in die Misere, oder werden manche/viele Dinge tatsächlich besser? Alles schlechtzureden ist ebenfalls kein funktionierendes Rezept für die Zukunft.

In dieser Folge von Mein Abenteuer nimmt uns Caroline Ludwig mit auf eine außergewöhnliche Reise: Fünfeinhalb Monate war die junge Bonnerin allein auf dem berühmten "Pacific Crest Trail" unterwegs – über 4.000 Kilometer zu Fuß durch Wüste, Gebirge und Wälder Nordamerikas. Inspiriert vom Bestseller „Wild“ von Cheryl Strayed, wagte Caroline den Schritt in die Wildnis – zunächst zu zweit, doch schon bald auf sich allein gestellt. Im Gespräch mit Rainer Meutsch berichtet die studierte Ökotrophologin von schlaflosen Nächten im Zelt, gefährlichen Tierbegegnungen, emotionalen Tiefpunkten – und der unvergesslichen Freiheit auf dem Trail. Was treibt jemanden an, sich dieser Herausforderung zu stellen? Wie geht man mit Einsamkeit, Angst und Erschöpfung um – und was bleibt nach so einem Abenteuer zurück? Eine fesselnde Geschichte über Mut, Natur, Selbstfindung und den Willen, Träume wirklich wahr zu machen.

How It Started: Von der Schauspielerei zur Comedy-BühneMatthias Ludwig ist Stand-up-Comedian mit einer klaren Philosophie: Jede Pointe wird mindestens 100 Mal getestet, bevor sie ins finale Set kommt. Brutal ehrlich, authentisch und wirkungsvoll.In dieser Podcast-Folge erzählt Matthias von seinem Weg von der Schauspielerei zum professionellen Comedy. Anfangs fremd mit schwarzem Humor, entdeckte er bei einem unerwarteten Ereignis seine wahre Leidenschaft. Er spricht über die Herausforderungen des Material-Testings bei Open Mics, den Aufbau eines soliden Sets und wie er bedeutungsvolle Geschichten in seine Soloauftritte einwebt.Die Parallelen zwischen Comedy und Business sind verblüffend: Beide erfordern konstantes Testen, schnelle Anpassung und die Bereitschaft zu scheitern. Matthias beleuchtet die Bedeutung von Authentizität, die sich wandelnde Social-Media-Landschaft und warum Live-Performance durch nichts zu ersetzen ist.Eine Folge über Mut, Timing und die Kunst, aus jedem Scheitern eine Pointe zu machen.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Alison Botha-State law advisor in legislative development and implementation unit at the department of Justice & constitutional development and Ceri von Ludwig, a family law attorney, about a major legal development that could transform divorce proceedings in South Africa. The proposed *General Laws (Family Matters) Amendment Bill* aims to give courts the power to override antenuptial contracts—particularly in marriages out of community of property without accrual—where one spouse may be left with nothing despite years of non-financial contribution. Sparked by real-life cases, such as those where COVID-19 disrupted careers and increased financial dependency, the bill seeks to promote fairness and close legal gaps that have disproportionately affected women. The reform also includes the long-overdue formal recognition of Muslim and customary marriages, signalling a significant modernization of South African family law. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

CONTENT WARNING: occupation, assassination, Israel & Palestine. We try not to be too political on this show, but sometimes a movie forces our hand. Still, Spielberg's third labor of love isn't a mess because of its subject matter. Instead, it's a messy rush job that has little to no historical value and also fails at being an entertaining movie. Nothing about this story passes the smell test, down to the fact that it looks like a crappy action movie from 2005. We know you can do better, Steven.

Ab welcher Höhe sind Absturzsicherungen vorgeschrieben? Was muss bei der Erstellung einer effizienten und sicheren Absturzsicherung berücksichtigt werden? Gibt es Unterschiede bei der Flachdachsicherung und der Absturzsicherung auf Steildächern? Und wie kann ich eigentlich ein PV-System mit passender Absturzsicherung planen? Fragen, die für viele Architektinnen und Architekten wichtig sind. Deshalb sind wir für diesen Podcast zu ABS Safety an den Niederrhein nach Kevelaer gefahren, wo sich DBZ-Chefredakteur Michael Schuster mit Thomas Reykers, Referent Unternehmens- und Markenkommunikation Marketing, unterhalten hat.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of homophobia, sexual assault, spousal abuse. This week's movie may not be the gayest movie ever but it's certainly one of the most famous. The star power here is off the charts, with two absolute bona fide movie stars and a perfect up and comer as our three gorgeous, fabulous, out of this world drag queens. Unfortunately the movie seems to think that ultimately we need less time with the queens and more time with a small town looking for help. It's a mistake, and one that keeps the movie from being in the ultimate pantheon. But my, what a magic fairy-dust ride it is.

The hunt for a killer ends with a thumbprint and technology that didn't exist when the crimes were committed. After fifteen years, the brutal murders of Margaret Ebby and Nancy Ludwig—killed five years apart in different Michigan cities—are finally connected through DNA evidence, launching a renewed investigation that faces political obstacles from the start.Detective Dan Snyder, who had lived and breathed the Ludwig case for a decade, nearly gets pushed off the investigation until forensic scientist Heather Helton intervenes, recognizing him as "the investigation embodied." What follows is a masterclass in cold case detective work as a multi-agency task force systematically collects DNA samples from hundreds of people connected to both victims—former lovers, contractors, students, and acquaintances.When the breakthrough finally comes, it's through a partial fingerprint from the Ebby murder scene that sat in evidence for fifteen years. The FBI's new Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System matches it to Jeffrey Wayne Gordon, a man with a disturbing history of sexual assaults in Florida who had been released from prison just days before Ebby's murder. Remarkably, Gordon was living just miles from the Flint crime scene, hiding in plain sight all along.The episode also powerfully recounts the story of Marie Gagliano, one of Gordon's early assault victims in Florida, whose attack foreshadowed his escalating violent behavior. Her journey from trauma to recovery provides a window into the lasting impact of violent crime on survivors, ending with her finding both healing and strength.This chilling case demonstrates how advances in forensic science, combined with relentless detective work, can finally bring justice to victims when traditional methods fail. For everyone involved in investigating these murders, the identification of Gordon validated years of dedication and proved that no case is truly unsolvable when technology catches up to evidence preserved by diligent investigators.Send us a text Support the show
Lord Alf Dubs is a Labour peer and former MP. He came to the UK from Prague in 1939 on one of the Kindertransport trains organised by Sir Nicholas Winton which rescued mostly Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia.Alf was born in Prague in 1932. His father was from a Jewish background and was brought up in what was then Northern Bohemia while his mother came from Austria. His father left Prague for London as soon as the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia in March 1939. In June, when he was six-years-old, Alf was put on a Kindertransport train, arriving at Liverpool Street station two days later where he was met by his father. His mother eventually joined them in London the day before war broke out. Alf studied Politics and Economics at the London School of Economics and was elected as the Member of Parliament for Battersea South in May 1979. He lost his seat in 1987 and the following year he was appointed director of the Refugee Council, becoming the first refugee to head up the charity.In March 2016 Alf tabled an amendment to the 2016 Immigration Act (known as the Dubs Amendment) which asked the Government to accept 3,000 unaccompanied refugee children into the UK. The amendment passed but the Government closed the scheme the following year after accepting 480 children.In 2016 Alf received the Humanist of the Year award by Humanists UK of which he is also a patron. In 2021 his Czech citizenship was restored making him the first Czech-British member of the House of Lords.DISC ONE: It's Easy To Remember (Take 4) - John Coltrane Quartet DISC TWO: Smetana: Má Vlast, JB1:112: 2.

Ever wondered what happens when Hollywood meets Nashville? Actor Alexander Ludwig joins us for a fascinating conversation about navigating two of entertainment's most challenging industries with genuine passion and remarkable humility.The star of blockbuster franchises like Hunger Games and Bad Boys, whose films have collectively grossed over $2 billion worldwide, opens up about his unexpected journey into country music. What began as a chance encounter with songwriter Tully Kennedy on a flight has blossomed into a serious musical career with BBR Records. Ludwig shares how authenticity remains his north star in both worlds: "If you're trying to chase trends, you're going to lose. But if you're original and true to you, those are the ones that stick out."Ludwig takes us behind the scenes of his acting journey, from landing his first major role at 13 to the pivotal moment when being rejected for the Hunger Games lead role became "the gift of gifts" that shaped his entire career. His insights on persistence reveal a refreshing perspective on success: "The people who win in anything are the ones who just stick around long enough for a shot."As a father of young children balancing demanding creative careers, Ludwig offers wisdom about maintaining relationships while pursuing dreams: "If you say no to the dream, you will be miserable and won't be the person that person fell in love with." This philosophy extends to his approach in every aspect of life, from the 90% diet/10% exercise rule he follows for film roles to his musical choices where authenticity trumps commercial calculation.Whether you're a fan of his on-screen performances, curious about his country music, or simply looking for inspiration in pursuing your own creative path, Ludwig's genuine passion and down-to-earth perspective offer valuable lessons about staying true to yourself while navigating the entertainment industry's complex landscape.The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!

A stunning forensic breakthrough connects two of Michigan's most notorious cold cases, revealing the chilling work of a serial killer who eluded justice for decades.Detective Sergeant Kilbourne, a seasoned Michigan State Police veteran with experience in everything from undercover narcotics to high-profile murder investigations, faces his most challenging assignment yet. Taking charge of the 1986 Margaret Ebi murder case fifteen years after the crime, he discovers a chaotic evidence collection that forces him to rebuild the investigation from the ground up. "We don't have a crime scene, but we got pictures of a crime scene," his superior reminds him as they forge ahead.The turning point arrives when DNA samples preserved from the Ebi crime scene, previously thought degraded beyond use, are submitted to Michigan's state-of-the-art crime lab. What happens next electrifies the investigation – the genetic fingerprint matches DNA from the unsolved 1991 murder of flight attendant Nancy Ludwig in Romulus. Two seemingly unrelated high-profile murders, connected by the invisible thread of a killer's DNA.As the investigation widens, we meet Detective Mike Larson, Kilbourne's counterpart described as "Mr. Yang to Kilbourne's Mr. Ying" – opposite personalities united in their pursuit of justice. Their work parallels the revolutionary case chronicled in Joseph Wambach's bestseller "The Blooding," which documents how DNA profiling first caught a serial killer in England, forever changing criminal investigations worldwide.The path forward becomes complicated when territorial issues arise between state and local agencies. Detective Gordy Melianak, who devoted years to the Ludwig case, finds himself sidelined by departmental politics just as the breakthrough occurs. Will interagency tensions derail the investigation, or can these dedicated detectives overcome bureaucratic obstacles to finally bring closure to two of Michigan's most haunting unsolved murders?Subscribe to The Murder Book for the conclusion of this riveting true crime investigation that demonstrates how modern forensic science can breathe new life into cases long gone cold.Send us a text Support the show

Symphonie arbeitet: ein Werk, das die Musikwelt revolutionieren wird, was zu jenem Zeitpunkt aber noch niemand weiß.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of gaslighting, spousal abuse, spousal murder, murder, misogyny. We're getting a little spooky this week with a slow-burn cult horror classic that dares to make its female characters complex and unique and its male characters thoroughly one-dimensional. Somehow it's the men that are utterly unbelievable for a change. That said, there's a pretty great movie to be found in among the wreckage, a fact that filmmakers 30 years later were utterly and completely unable to reconcile. People in 2004 thought that making a dark, subtle allegory for the horrors of the patriarchy into live-action Looney Tunes was a good idea, and then made it. And since we're completionists, we subjected ourselves to both. Join us as we enjoy 1975's and despair 2004's The Stepford Wives on Have a Good Movie!

The brutal 1991 murder of Northwest Airlines flight attendant Nancy Ludwig in room 354 of the Airport Hilton stands as one of Detroit's most perplexing cold cases. This gripping episode delves deep into the exhaustive investigation that followed, revealing how detectives Snyder and Malianak pursued over 2,300 tips in their relentless search for justice.We explore the fascinating case of Michael Flynn, a pathological impostor who presented himself as a Northwest pilot while actually working as a firefighter on disability. Flynn's elaborate fabrications, strange behavior, and connection to the victim initially made him a compelling suspect until DNA evidence eliminated him from consideration. His story serves as just one example of the countless leads that investigators pursued and ultimately ruled out in this frustrating investigation.The episode also highlights the extraordinary efforts of Nancy's widower, Art Ludwig, who transformed his grief into action. Drawing on his media background, Art orchestrated a years-long awareness campaign that included national television appearances, newspaper advertisements, reward posters, and even arranging for the Teamsters union to contribute $30,000 to help catch his wife's killer. Despite facing suspicion himself—an unfortunate reality for many spouses in murder investigations—Art never stopped fighting to keep Nancy's case alive in the public consciousness.A decade after the murder, advancing DNA technology brought new hope in the form of a specialized cold case task force in Flint, Michigan. The collaboration between Police Chief Bradford Barksdale and Michigan State Police Lieutenant Colonel Robert Bertie demonstrates how institutional partnerships can overcome bureaucratic obstacles when solving heinous crimes becomes the priority.What drives investigators to pursue justice years after a case goes cold? How does a family survive the aftermath of such a brutal crime? Listen now to understand the profound impact of unsolved murders and the dedicated professionals who refuse to let killers escape accountability, no matter how much time has passed.Send us a text Support the show
Introduction: Minutes 0 to 8:30 Thanks for understand as we took time off! I watched Andor and The Resident. Chandra watched The Better Sister, Ludwig, Patience and Echo Valley. She recommends them all except for Echo Valley. We both love Murderbot. We talk about Anna Wintour's announcement that she's stepping down as editor for American Vogue. Chandra thinks Edward Enninful might have something to do with it. Wintour was in Venice for the Bezos Sanchez wedding. We know Sanchez's dress is going to be trashy. Royals: Minutes (8:30) to 29:45 We found Meghan's Confessions of a Female Founder podcast informative and inspirational. We wish we could get more AsEver raspberry spread. Chandra ordered two jars of apricot spread and I only ordered one. Some people have already received their AsEver orders. AsEver is releasing a rose wine on July first. That's Diana's birthday and a special anniversary for Harry and Meghan. Meghan has been steadily posting to social media. She's making the most headlines for a video from when she was pregnant and dancing in the hospital. It was funny and cute and the tabloids had a fit. Two reality stars at a King's Trust event recreated that dance on a staircase at the palace. You're not supposed to take personal photos or videos at royal receptions, but both the King's Trust and official Royal Family accounts commented positively on that post. We think it was a setup meant to mock Harry and Meghan but it just makes the Windsors look obsessed as usual. I play a clip from the Aspire podcast where Meghan explained why she posted that video. Camilla Tominey called it a “sexy slut drop,” which is ridiculous. This week we heard that Prince George will be going to his father and uncle's boarding school, Eton, in the fall of 2026. I looked through our archives and there are stories as far back as January, 2019 about Kate pushing for her three children to attend her alma mater, Marlborough. We assume she was forced to give in about George's school, but Louis and Charlotte are likely to go to Marlborough. Last weekend were the Royal Ascot horse races, probably the biggest social event of the year. Kate pulled out at the last minute. It was a big deal judging by the coverage. Palace staff were said to be “bewildered and worried” and a source told the Daily Beast that Kate was tired after Trooping the Colour and Garter Day and that she has good and bad days. We got several negative stories about Kate after that, mostly about how she disrespected the King, but also just rehashing older negative stories about her. There were stories hinting that she didn't feel well, which they should have focused on. Kate is reportedly planning to go to Wimbledon, which is from June 30th to July 13th. She usually goes at the end, but in 2023 she went early to sit with Roger Federer. Hello Magazine has a cover story about Kate with the title “On her own terms.” I put it on Instagram and the aspect ratio makes it say “On her own.” Chandra had two tweets about Kate which went viral this week. It feels like the palace and press are turning on Kate. She might be quite sick, but they play fast and loose with the truth and the royals minimize illness, so it's hard to tell. Chandra remembers how Princess Anne's traumatic brain injury was swept under the rug and how she returned to work with bruises. Harry and William are covering US Magazine, and the article is about how William is mad Harry isn't his scapegoat anymore. It's part of William's embiggening campaign as he tells us about his plans to be king, and it sounds like he can't wait for his father to die. The press freaked out about Harry saying he didn't know how much longer Charles has, but had only a mild response to William. Comments of the Week: Minutes 29:45 to end Kaiser's comment of the week is from Lover on the post about Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson kissing on red carpets. My comment of the week is from Henny Penny on the post about Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos's tacky wedding. Thanks for listening bitches!

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of gambling. One would think that with the steely blue eyes of Steve McQueen and the highest-stakes poker game ever concocted, we'd be cooking with fire with this next film. Instead, we get one of the most boring 100-minute movies committed to celluloid. Nearly an hour of this movie is preamble and exposition and when we finally get to the poker game we might as well have just had the Kid lose in the first few hands. There are many ways to approach a good poker movie, and this movie chooses literally none of them. Join us as we yawn through 1965's The Cincinnati Kid on Have a Good Movie!

631. Part 2 of Thomas Patterson joining us to discuss his new book, American Populist: Huey Long of Louisiana. "Thomas E. Patterson's monumental biography of Huey Long is a profound reevaluation of his life and legacy, recognizing him as an inspirational progressive thinker, populist hero, and radical influence on the New Deal. Long transformed the politics of Louisiana by standing for the interests of citizens whom state officials had historically ignored. He eased suffrage restrictions so that more people could vote, and voters endorsed his program of more robust government services and shifting the tax burden to those better able to pay. In the United States Senate,... he advocated loudly and ceaselessly for the redistribution of wealth, expanding public works, increasing the money supply, insuring bank deposits, paying old-age pensions and veterans' benefits, delivering a minimum income for families, and funding college and vocational education. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, along with other politicians and pundits, dismissed Long's proposals as nonsense put forth by a reckless demagogue in search of votes.... Despite several biographies, acclaimed novels, and historical studies in the years since Long's death, his reputation today is mostly caricature: a spellbinding speaker, a dictator, a populist firebrand who was unprincipled and corrupt. Using previously untapped personal papers of Long and his son Russell, other primary sources, recent scholarship, and his experience as a lawyer, Patterson provides a necessary corrective as he analyzes the contours of Long's career, deconstructs the elements of his success, undercuts several myths related to his time in office, and explains the circumstances that led to his ultimate downfall. The result is the most comprehensive, balanced, and analytical study of the Kingfish to date." Thomas Patterson founded the Patterson Law Firm in Chicago, which focuses on helping businesses manages crises. Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of death, knife fights, gunfire, murder, sexual misconduct, parental trauma, parental negliect, parental abuse. We weren't aware there was such a thing as being a method director, but this legendary film seems to have proven that's a thing. Because it's one thing to make a schlocky B-movie for teenagers about juvenile delinquents. It's another completely to try to reverse engineer that terrible movie into art for a budding movie star and enable his worst tendencies while also having an affair with his 16-year-old co-star, and his other co-star, and possibly him. This movie is a mess, which is actually being kind, because its director might be even more of a disaster. Somehow a bad movie with great acting gives us perhaps some of the greatest trivia of all time. We're deep in our angsty feels as we watch 1955's Rebel Without a Cause on Have a Good Movie!

On November 14th and 15th 1475 one of the grandest events in the history of the Holy Roman Empire took place, the Landshuter Hochzeit, the nuptials of Georg, the Rich, son of Ludwig, the Rich and grandson of Heinrich, the Rich, all of them dukes of Bayern-Landshut, and Hedwig, the daughter of king Kasimir IV of Poland and Lithuania. The event attracted 10,000 guests, amongst them the Counts Palatine on the Rhine, the Dukes of Württemberg, the archduke Maximilian of Austria and the emperor Friedrich III himself. It lasted several days during which the eminent invitees as well as the citizens of Landshut ate, drank, danced and watched an endless row of tournaments, plays and musical performances.The fame of these festivities reverberated through the ages, so that in the 19th century the burghers of the town decided to stage the event again, initially annually and nowadays every 4 years. The reenactment involves over 2,000 participants, and culminates in a procession through the city, complete with bridal carriage, musicians and Landsknechte, all in splendid historical costumes.Which leaves us with more questions than answers. How come the most powerful ruler of central Europe, Kasimir King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania married one of his precious daughters to the son of the ruler of half a duchy, hundreds of miles from his capital; secondly, how such a duke became so rich he could afford to stage an event that counted amongst the grandest weddings of this already very ostentatious century; and lastly, why Landshut is today a gorgeous, but only medium sized country town, and by no means the beating heart of Bavarian commerce, culture and politics. That is what we are going to explore in this episode.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.
