Our guest:Lynn Novick, director and producer of "The U.S. and the Holocaust"

The holidays are here and we're taking a much needed break, but we wanted to leave you one more holiday gift before we left. It's a special episode from our archives and it's one that means a lot to us. We're rewinding things all of the way back to fall of 2022, right before the midterms.  It was a time when we needed to hear a voice of reason. Someone to ground us. To calm us all down with some sobering reality. Some history. Some perspective. And some wisdom.  Ken Burns (@KenBurns) is a truly important, inspiring and iconic American who is shaping what America has been, what it is, and what it will be. He is an exceptionally wise, insightful and trusted leader. A man who understands history--and the historic nature of the times. He's the visionary mastermind behind the greatest stories of our country—of our people–of our history—and of our future. The Civil War (1990), Baseball (1994), Jazz (2001), The War (2007), The National Parks: America's Best Idea (2009), Prohibition (2011), The Roosevelts (2014), The Vietnam War (2017), and Country Music, and now, The US and the Holocaust–a new six-and-half-hour documentary directed and produced by Ken Burns and his longtime partners Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein. They describe it as a deep dive into "America's response to one of the greatest humanitarian crises in history." He's also the author of the new book, Our America: A Photographic History.  He's a historian. He's a documentarian. He's a master storyteller. He's a patriot. He's our mirror. And he's a conscience for us all.  Have a great holiday and we'll be back next week with another great look back before we return in 2025 with all new episodes.

I am a huge fan of today's guest. Since seeing one of her first documentaries, I was transfixed by her power of storytelling. Our guest is an Emmy and Peabody award-winning documentary filmmaker, Lynn Novick---a formidable and respected PBS documentary filmmaker with thirty-plus years of experience in the business.Her archival mini and docu-series documentaries bring historically true events to the big screen alongside her filmmaking partner, Ken Burns. You've most likely seen some of her landmark documentary films. The likes of Vietnam (2017), TV Mini-Series documentary The Civil War (1990), College Behind Bars (2019), eighteen hours mini-series, Baseball (2010), and many more.All are available on PBS Documentaries Prime Video Channel.Just this year, the pair premiered their latest co-produced and co-directed three parts documentary on PBD---recapitulating the life, loves, and labors of Ernest Hemingway. The series explores the painstaking process through which Hemingway created some of the most important works of fiction in American letters. Novick is an experienced-learned documentary filmmaker. In the mid-1980s, she applied to film school but did not pursue that lane when she couldn't find a documentary filmmaking-specific program. Instead, she sought out apprenticeships. Starting at the PBS station in New York City WNET, for six months.And then worked for Bill Moyers as an assistant producer on a series of projects, including her debut production in 1994 with Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth, followed by A World of Ideas with Bill Moyers, etc. The Civil War is a comprehensive survey of the American Civil War.Novick's decades-long collaboration with Ken Burns emerged in 1989 and has led to the co-production of a number of renowned docu-series. First, there was the highly acclaimed ‘The Civil War' which traced the course of the U.S. Civil War from the abolitionist movement through all the major battles to the death of President Lincoln and the beginnings of Reconstruction. Her vast experience as a researcher comes in handy on these kinds of projects, she explains during our convo. She won an Emmy Award in 1994 for producing the Baseball documentary and won a Peabody Award in 1998 for her co-directing and co-producing of Frank Lloyd Wright's documentary. Baseball covers the history of the sport with major topics including Afro-American players, player/team owner relations, and the resilience of the game.Other must mention include multi-Emmy nominations documentary ‘Prohibition', The Vietnam War, Jazz, and Novick's first solo directing, College Behind Bars (2019). College Behind Bars explores urgent questions like What is the essence of prisons? Who in America has access to educational opportunities? Six years in the making, the series immerses viewers in the inspiring and transformational journey of a small group of incarcerated men and women serving time for serious crimes, as they try to earn college degrees in one of the most rigorous prison education programs in America – the Bard Prison Initiative (BPI).Novick is one of those filmmakers who have combed through an obscene amount of knowledge and understanding of documentary films.

Tuesday, October 8, 2024 Hoover Institution, Stanford University The Hoover Institution's Wargaming and Crisis Simulation Initiative presents To War or Not to War: Vietnam and the Sigma Wargames on Tuesday, October 8, 2024 at 2:00PM PT. In 1964, America was slowly marching towards war in Vietnam. But what if that war could have been fought differently or avoided altogether? The Sigma Games, a series of politico-military wargames run by the Pentagon's Joint Staff in the 1960s, sought to understand the unfolding conflict in Southeast Asia. These games, which involved top figures from the Johnson Administration—including National Security Adviser McGeorge Bundy, Air Force General Curtis LeMay, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Earle Wheeler—offer a chillingly accurate forecast of the war's potential trajectory.  Choose your character for an immersive experience. See the game unfold through the eyes of pivotal figures such as John McCone, Curtis LeMay, Earle Wheeler, and McGeorge Bundy in this interactive event. This event introduces the games and turns to a panel of historians to explore the Sigma Wargames, their prescient warnings, and why these early insights failed to shape the Johnson Administration's decision-making, ultimately leading to one of America's most costly conflicts.  The conversation, while a look into a key set of games at a historical moment in American foreign policy, says something more broadly at the impact of wargames on US foreign and defense policy as well as how influence is created (and hijacked) within strategic decision making. ​PANELISTS H.R. McMaster is the Fouad and Michelle Ajami Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He is also the Bernard and Susan Liautaud Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute and lecturer at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business.  McMaster holds a PhD in military history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

He is author of the bestselling books Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World and Dereliction of Duty: Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Lies that Led to Vietnam. In August 2024, McMaster released his most recent book, At War with Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House. His many essays, articles, and book reviews on leadership, history, and the future of warfare have appeared in The Atlantic, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, National Review, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the New York Times. McMaster is the host of Battlegrounds: Vital Perspectives on Today's Challenges and is a regular on GoodFellows, both produced by the Hoover Institution. He is a Distinguished University Fellow at Arizona State University.

What is it like to go to war? What does the experience have to teach us, and could it in any way be a spiritual endeavor? What does the Temple of Mars have to teach us in a climate-changing world? Karl Marlantes is a Rhodes Scholar who put aside graduate studies at Oxford University to lead a Marine rifle platoon in Vietnam in 1968. He is featured extensively in the Ken Burns/Lynn Novick documentary series, The Vietnam War. His memoir, What It Is Like to Go to War, and novel, Matterhorn, address what we ask our nation's young warriors to do from within a cultural environment that denies the multifaceted truth of what it means to be a warrior. His recent novels Deep River and Cold Victory address big questions of agency and what it means to recognize oneself as a historical actor. Is combat terrifying? Exhilarating? Mystical? Carnal? Is it everything all at once? If we only acknowledge the experience as negative, how might that cause repression and misunderstanding in a world unlikely to leave war behind permanently? If climate change is not successfully addressed as soon as possible, the geopolitical situation may become more rivalrous and difficult. We need to understand the nature of war, of our relationship to our shadow, in order to chart an honest course to a better future.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/513  Presented by: Smitty's Fly Box, Waters West Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors       Mark Cirino, co-host of the One True Podcast, takes us on an enthralling exploration of the life and works of one of literature's most influential figures, Ernest Hemingway. In our interview, we took a deep dive into Hemingway's experiences, his writing process, and the enduring legacy of his works. Whether you're a devoted Hemingway fan or a literary enthusiast, this episode promises to be a captivating exploration. Join us as we unravel the complexities of Hemingway's life and appreciate the timeless power of his writing. The Life and Works of Ernest Hemingway Show Notes with Mark Cirino 2:13 - Mark grew up in a household where his parents were readers. Her mother was a writer and his father was a journalist. This is also where he talks about how he stumbled upon Ernest Hemingway's works. 3:48 - Mark talks about what the war meant to Hemingway. 5:49 - He describes Hemingway's writing style and the iceberg theory. Ernest's style may have come from his journalism background and his subject matter. The men of action that he writes about are involved in crises or dangerous situations. 11:30 - We dig into Hemingway's early life when his love for the outdoors started, particularly fishing. He mentions the places that Ernest wrote about such as Michigan where he wrote Indian Camp and The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife among others. 13:32 - He differentiates the real Ernest from the myth of him. 18:58 - He had Ken Burns and Lynn Novick on the One True Podcast to talk about their PBS documentary on Hemingway. Ken Burns and Lynn Novick also co-wrote the introduction in their book called One True Sentence: Writers & Readers on Hemingway's Art. 20:52 - In Hemingway's memoir called A Moveable Feast, he talks about how to deal with writer's block by starting with one true sentence and going on from there. 22:20 - He talks about fishing in relation to Hemingway's works. 24:05 - I mentioned John Gierach, author of several fly-fishing books, whom we had in the podcast in episodes 047 and 434. 25:36 - In Hemingway's journey as a fisherman, he bought a fishing boat in 1934 which he called Pilar. Mark has an episode in his podcast with Paul Hendrickson where they talked about the latter's book called Hemingway's Boat: Everything He Loved in Life, and Lost. 26:45 - Hemingway's works inspire Mark to keep his curiosity and continuously produce interesting topics for his podcast. 28:27 - We dig into the predator-prey concept in fishing and hunting in Hemingway's book called Islands in the Stream. 33:22 - His current favorite Hemingway work is A Farewell to Arms. He also talks about The Old Man and The Sea which he says is the perfect Hemingway theme of "winner take nothing". 36:36 - We talk about the end of Hemingway's life at the age of 61 in Ketchum, Idaho. His wife Mary said that he accidentally killed himself while cleaning his shotgun. 40:56 - Mark talks about Pauline Pfeiffer, Ernest Hemingway's second wife. He was married four times. He tackles more about her in his episode with Ruth Hawkins. 42:50 - I ask him about Ernest and Spanish bullfighting which he wrote about in his books entitled Death in the Afternoon and The Sun Also Rises. 44:46 - He shares some highlights from The Sun Also Rises. 49:13 - For those who haven't read any of Hemingway's works, he recommends starting with The Old Man and the Sea and one of his short stories called Big Two-Hearted River. 53:16 - He asks which I think is more conducive for soldiers returning home from the war between deep fishing and fly fishing. 54:12 - We dig into Hemingway's evolution of writing. From 1925 to 1929, he wrote four books which made him a literary superstar. His comeback in 1940 was successful because of his book entitled For Whom the Bell Tolls. 56:31 - He describes Hemingway as a pessimist as evident in an excerpt from his book In Death in the Afternoon, in which he says "All stories end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you." 58:00 - He talks about that time in 1954 when Hemingway and his wife Mary survived two plane crashes in Africa, and his failed attempts before his suicide in 1961. 1:02:47 - He started the One True Podcast when he noticed that there were no podcasts focused on Ernest Hemingway. The Hemingway Society sponsors the podcast. 1:04:47 - He likes listening to other podcasts such as the Rico Brogna Podcast with Evan Roberts who is a crazy Met fan. We talk more about the Mets. 1:09:45 - We end the interview with his one true sentence.  Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/513 

Closing out our Emmy coverage, today we feature Ken Burns (“Brooklyn Bridge”, “The Civil War”, “Jazz”) and Lynn Novick (“Frank Lloyd Wright”, “Baseball”, “Hemingway”) discussing their thrice-Emmy nominated “The U.S. and the Holocaust”.  As Ken tells us, this PBS series addresses the “Holocaust, one of the low points of humanity and what Americans knew and what they didn't know, what they did, and more importantly, what they didn't do.”   Ken and Lynn first explain why they start with the story of Anne Frank and her family, and how it reveals how we often don't fully understand the American context of such stories.  They speak with Mike about the deep anti-immigrationist and antisemitic feelings of America between the world wars.  They explain in particular how Eugenics was used to buttress the laws severely limiting immigration, especially from Southern Europe and Eastern Europe–the latter being where most of the world's Jews then lived.  They go on to explain how American Eugenics, along with the ideology of Manifest Destiny and even Jim Crow laws influenced the Nazis and gave them a template for their atrocities.  And they discuss some of what Ken calls “the points of light” in this most horrific time:  Some of the Americans–singularly or in organizations–who stepped up to help Jews escape.   Throughout, as the series shows the depths of the Nazi horrors and the failure of the U.S.--with the notable exception of winning the war–to muster a meaningful response, it demonstrates the importance of maintaining what writer Daniel Mendelsohn calls “the particularity” of the stories of those who died and those who survived.   Hidden Gems:  The Better Angels   Follow: @KenBurns on twitter and @kenlburns on Instagram @LynnNovick on twitter and Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

Ken Burns joins Bob and Ben for a conversation about American history and the themes he sees playing out in the US today. Ken shares his process for selecting subjects for his films and explains how his new 3-part film Hemingway (co-directed w/ Lynn Novick) highlights Ernest Hemingway's individual genius while also revealing the universal aspects of life that we all share. We also discuss how our time and place influence the way we view the past, the importance of acknowledging both the light and dark in American history, and why Ken argues that much of life's meaning comes from the struggle. Ken Burns' new film Hemingway, which he co-directed with Lynn Novick, premieres April 5-7 on PBS.

What was America's response to the Holocaust? What did we know and not know, do and not do, as the catastrophe unfolded? These questions are especially important now, when the refugee crisis, immigration and antisemitism are making news. Don't miss this powerful talk with the co-directors of the new Ken Burns documentary film The U.S. and the Holocaust, Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein.

Program Advisory: clips used in this episode contain antisemitic language used for the purpose of providing context. This week, we discuss antisemitism today, how we teach the history of the holocaust and Nazi racism's connection to American Jim Crow laws. We also hear about the Fortunoff Video Archive For Holocaust Testimonies. This conversation was part of a panel moderated by host Khalilah Brown Dean that followed a screening of The U.S. and the Holocaust, a documentary miniseries directed by Ken Burns, Lynn Novick, and Sarah Botstein.

TODAY'S GUEST   Lynn Novick has been directing and producing landmark documentary films about American life and culture, history, politics, sports, art, architecture, literature, and music for more than 30 years. The 80 hours of acclaimed PBS programming she has created in collaboration with Ken Burns include The Vietnam War, Baseball, Jazz, Frank Lloyd Wright, The War, and Prohibition. These landmark series have garnered 19 Emmy nominations. Lynn herself has received Emmy, Peabody, and Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Awards.   College behind Bars, Lynn's first film as a solo director, premiered at the New York Film Festival and aired on PBS in 2019. The four-part series immerses viewers in the inspiring and transformational journey of a small group of incarcerated men and women serving time for serious crimes, as they try to earn college degrees in one of the most rigorous prison education programs in America — the Bard Prison Initiative (BPI).   Lynn's latest series alongside Ken Burns, The U.S. and the Holocaust, explores the US knowledge of and responds to the Jewish Holocaust, the greatest humanitarian crisis of the twentieth century. It's now streaming on PBS and premiering later this month in Jerusalem.   We spoke at the end of August 2022, and I was excited to talk to Lynn after watching her remarkable College Behind Bars series. I watched the series after listening to an interview she did with Sam Harris on his podcast, and it really floored me. It proved so eloquently and so simply the basic truth — that crime and poverty are more often than not the result of lack — lack of opportunity, lack of access, lack of information, and lack of belonging.   It shows the transformative power of education, opportunity, respect, and high expectations, even on people convicted of violent crimes. And in that way it very subtly but powerfully condemns the system that doesn't provide such opportunities.   It was wonderful to chat with Lynn, learn about her life in documentary making, and hear about her experience behind the scenes making College Behind Bars and her continued engagement with the students in the film long after the filming.   EPISODE SUMMARY   In this conversation we talk about: The US and the Holocaust documentary, and the antisemitism, xenophobia and nativism, and the rejection of Jewish refugees during the Holocaust. How the Watergate crisis led her down the path to documentary filmmaking. The power of documentaries to change views and bring truth to life. The films she made alongside Ken Burns covering the Vietnam War, jazz, the architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and many others. Her film, College Behind Bars, and the process of making it. The Bard Prison Initiative and why it is so special. The history of prison and education. The power of education. History of crime and punishment in the US. And many other topics.    Lynn goes deep into topic after topic in American life, and as a result she's a broad and fascinating thinker and speaker. Beyond the incredible power of College Behind Bars, what stayed with me is the power of documentary film to start us thinking and talking about complex topics, and in some cases, like with College Behind Bars, to affect a change in policy.   This conversation is one a dozen or so weekly conversations we already have lined up for you with thinkers, designers, makers, authors, entrepreneurs, and activists who are working to change our world for the better.

And at least one of us, Evan McMullin in Utah, could be elected Senator.  America is on edge, but we can help bring them down off that edge. Help them see over it. Help them move around it. And we have the perfect guest to guide us through this Election Day week. To ground us. To calm us all down with some sobering reality. Some history. Some perspective. And some wisdom.  Ken Burns (@KenBurns) is a truly important, inspiring and iconic American who is shaping what America has been, what it is, and what it will be. He is an exceptionally wise, insightful and trusted leader that we all need to hear from right now. A man who understands history--and the historic nature of these times. The perfect guest to take us into the most important election in our lifetime.  He's the visionary mastermind behind the greatest stories of our country—of our people–of our history—and of our future. The Civil War (1990), Baseball (1994), Jazz (2001), The War (2007), The National Parks: America's Best Idea (2009), Prohibition (2011), The Roosevelts (2014), The Vietnam War (2017), and Country Music, and now, The US and the Holocaust–a new six-and-half-hour documentary directed and produced by Ken Burns and his longtime partners Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein. They describe it as a deep dive into "America's response to one of the greatest humanitarian crises in history." He's also the author of the new book, Our America: A Photographic History.  He's a historian. He's a documentarian. He's a master storyteller. He's a patriot. He's our mirror. And he's a conscience for us all.  We've had professors of Nukes.  Professors of War.  Professors of Business. Professors of Politics.  And now, we've got a professor of history. And an expert on America. It's a conversation from inside his New Hampshire home that will help you get smarter, predict better, and of course, stay vigilant.

After Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1933, thousands of German Jews facing systematic persecution wanted to flee the Third Reich but found few countries willing to accept them.

They discuss the rise of Hitler and Nazism in Germany in the context of global antisemitism and racism, the eugenics movement in the United States and race laws in the American south.This episode was produced by Hannah Ward and edited by Dougal Patmore.If you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe to History Hit today!To download the History Hit app please go to the Android or Apple store.Complete the survey and you'll be entered into a prize draw to win 5 Historical Non-Fiction Books- including a signed copy of Dan Snow's 'On This Day in History'.

John explores a comparison to the Holocaust Joining CNN's John Berman Thursday morning to discuss his new documentary “The U.S. and the Holocaust,” Burns took aim at the Florida governor for flying two planeloads of Venezuelan migrants to Martha's Vineyard this week, calling it a “disturbing” play of political theater. “All of your documentaries are about history,” Berman began, “but all of them also make you think about where we are. We woke up to the news this morning that Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida sent two planeloads of migrants to Martha's Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts, including kids and whatnot. And I'm not saying, this is not a 1-for-1, this is not a parallel here in any way, but it does address some of the same themes that are part of this documentary.” Sitting with co-director Lynn Novick, Burns agreed. “Well, it's the abstraction of human life. It's basically saying that you can use a human life that is as valuable as yours or mine or Lynn's and to put it in a position of becoming a political pawn in somebody's authoritarian game. This is coming straight out of the authoritarian playbook,” he said. The documentarian then pointed to other instances in DeSantis' governance that has highlighted his refusal to participate in the democratic process. “This is what's so disturbing about DeSantis, is to use human beings, to weaponize human beings for a political purpose – it's like when somebody disagrees with him in Florida, like the Walt Disney Company, he punishes them,” Burns continued. “This is not the actions of a person participating in a democratic process in which there's an exchange of ideas. This is about punishing political enemies, putting on shows, political shows, political theater. And in this case, this is with the lives of human beings.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"The U.S. and the Holocaust" – a new documentary by Ken Burns, Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein - is a three-part, six-hour PBS series that examines America's response to one of the greatest humanitarian crises of the twentieth century.

We began the show by talking with listeners on the war in Ukraine and media coverage. Kate Bronfenbrenner and Rafi, a Starbucks barista and active member of Starbucks Workers United, talked about the wave of unionization efforts, what workers are fighting for and the struggles ahead. Bronfenbrenner is the director of Labor Education Research and a senior lecturer at Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations, and the co-director of the Worker Empowerment Research Project. Ken Burns and Lynn Novick talked about their latest documentary, “The U.S. and the Holocaust,” which examines the country's unwillingness to accept refugees during World War II and American public figures who espoused antisemitic and anti-immigrant views. Burns is an award-winning documentarian. Novick is an acclaimed director and producer of documentary films. “The U.S. and the Holocaust” airs on GBH 2 on Sept. 18-20, starting at 8 p.m. Andrea Campbell joined us to discuss her Democratic primary win in the race for Massachusetts Attorney General, how she could be the first woman of color to hold the office, controversy over endorsements and her motivation behind running. Campbell formerly represented District 4 in Boston City Council. We ended the show by returning to some of our favorite conversations, including: Jelani Cobb on his book "The Essential Kerner Commission Report," filmmaker Ken Burns on his PBS documentary "Benjamin Franklin" and an edition of The Afternoon Zoo with naturalist and author Sy Montgomery.

American filmmaker Ken Burns is renowned for his documentary films and television series, many of which chronicle American history and culture, such as "The Civil War," "Baseball," "Jazz," and "Country Music." Burns's documentaries have earned two Academy Award nominations and have won several Emmy Awards, among other honors. His latest documentary is "The U.S. and the Holocaust," which premieres this month and was produced with longtime collaborators Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein. But before that, he worked at a record store where the best-selling album of his tenure was “Abbey Road.” He still thinks about the Beatles every day. In this conversation with our host Kenneth Womack, Burns discusses what his creative process shares with the Beatles' and reveals the secret ingredient that he believes has made the band's catalog so timeless. And he makes the case for a significant portion of the top 10 “quintessential” Beatles' songs aren't written by Paul or John. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/everythingfabfour/support

The forgotten story of what happened to the 1920 Census! The 1910s was a big decade in U.S. history. Here are some highlights from that decade. judge for yourself: (1) WWI, (2) the Spanish flu pandemic, (3) the income tax Constitutional amendment, (4) U.S. senators' popular election Constitutional amendment, (5) women's right to vote Constitutional amendment, and (6) the alcohol ban Constitutional amendment. Also, in 1920 Congress and the White House turned red - meaning Republicans won. Then came the 1920s! Along with Prohibition, in the Roaring '20s, there was another story that has remained unnoticed by most historians. It's a shocking story of an egregious violation of the U.S Constitution by the U.S. Congress. And behind it all were the determined forces of a minority of Americans. To learn more about this story, we spoke with Daniel Okrent, author of the Last Call, The Rise And Fall of Prohibition, which won the Albert J. Beveridge prize, awarded by the American Historical Association to the year's best book of American history, and was used as a major source for the PBS miniseries Prohibition directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. In the last segment of our conversation, Mr. Okrent draws parallels between the Prohibition forces a century ago and Pro-Life forces now. They both represent the will of a minority of Americans Yet, they both won. Note though, Prohibition was eventually repealed, which can be attributed to our guest's concluding statement - that we cannot legislate against human desire. I wonder if there are lessons here for our time? For the abortion fight that is tearing our country apart. Mr. Okrent served as the first public editor of The New York Times newspaper, and he has also been the editor of other publications, such as Alfred A. Knopf, Harcourt, Esquire Magazine, New England Monthly and Life Managzine. He also served on the board of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery for 12 years, including a four-year term as chairman, and remains a board member of the Skyscraper Museum and the Authors Guild. To learn more about Mr. Okrent, please visit his homepage. I hope you enjoy this episode.

Ernest Hemingway is perhaps the most famous boater to ever ply the seas. Editors Bill Pike and Charlie Levine discuss Hemingway's prowess as a boat owner, author and angler. The editors share some of their personal experiences from visiting Hemingway's home in Cuba, the Finca Vigía or “Lookout Farm,” where they got to see the Pilar with their own eyes and even sneak on board. They also talk about the new PBS documentary entitled “Hemingway” by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. Come aboard and learn more about Papa's love of boating and what makes his vessel, the Pilar, the most important boat in American literature.

The recently-premiered new PBS documentary "Hemingway" (from the renowned filmmaking team of Ken Burns and Lynn Novick) provided the BXC brothers with the perfect excuse to dive back into the short fiction of one of America's most celebrated and influential writers. Because the film centers on Hemingway's stories rather than his novels, John and Jude choose four of "Papa's" most famous tales, unpack them and examine how they exhibit his most impressive, intriguing and challenging qualities as a writer. Along the way we also get into some biographical details, our personal responses to Hemingway's work and how they may have changed over the years, and discuss and debate what made him both an admirable talent and a complex, tragic human being. It's all things Hemingway on Episode 27 of the XChange... we hope you'll jump on board and join us for a wild, bumpy ride through some exotic locations and pretty dark tunnels.

At Connecticut Public, there's a smallish corner conference room thing that we think of as The Crying Room. I, personally, haven't ever seen anyone cry in there, but I've had my suspicions. In any case, where people go to cry is part of the essential geography of the modern office. On the other hand, do we even have offices anymore? And: Hemingway is a three-part PBS documentary directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. It premiered this week, and all 5½ hours are streamable now.

Episode #26 delivers the third of an occasional series of in-depth reviews of books that have caught our attention (for whatever reason) and we feel are worth extended discussion and recommendation. This time, it's another debut novel, from Memphis-based (but Indiana-born) writer Daniel Hornsby. "Via Negativa" is a fascinating, spiritually rich hybrid of road novel, revenge tale and spiritual quest - steeped in Catholic history and tradition, but also in some of the strange, kitschy, roadside Americana that anyone who has traveled cross-country through this broad-shouldered land will recognize. As the homeless mendicant Fr. Dan wrestles with several morally complex, heart-breaking decisions and mistakes of his priesthood, he may also be bringing to light some of the most thorny and important questions that face the Catholic Church in the third millennium. Jude and I find a lot of quirky humor, pathos, and genuine spiritual insight to consider during this fascinating and fun discussion.
