Today, I'm so excited to announce my interview with legendary actress Cherry Jones. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her distinguished career, including how Andrei Serban taught her how to act, why Colleen Dewhurst was her biggest inspiration, witnessing the difficult relationship between Glenda Jackson and Zoe Caldwell on Macbeth, her theories about the plot of Doubt, the process of flying as the title character in Angels in America, the celebration she planned for the closing night of her first Broadway show, why Major Barbara was an easier role to do, the two plays from last season that she liked the most, why she relies heavily on directors, and so much more.

Book Title: Pygmalion Author: George Bernard Shaw Episode: Number 99 | Part 1 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Pygmalion" is a play written by George Bernard Shaw, a renowned Irish playwright, and first premiered in 1913. The story is a satirical exploration of social class, language, and personal transformation. The plot revolves around the transformation of Eliza Doolittle, a poor flower girl with a strong Cockney accent, into a refined and well-spoken lady under the tutelage of Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetics expert. Higgins takes on the challenge of teaching Eliza to speak "proper" English and present herself as a member of the upper class. As Eliza undergoes this linguistic and behavioral makeover, the play delves into themes of identity, self-worth, and the impact of language on one's social status. The interactions between Eliza and Higgins, along with the supporting characters, highlight the complexities of societal expectations, the power dynamics between different classes, and the blurred lines between authenticity and pretense. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About the author:  George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish playwright, critic, and essayist, renowned for his wit, social commentary, and contributions to literature and theater. Born on July 26, 1856, in Dublin, Ireland, Shaw initially pursued a career in music and writing before gaining prominence as a playwright. Shaw's early works included novels and plays, but he rose to fame with his witty and thought-provoking plays that often challenged societal norms and conventions. His plays, such as "Mrs. Warren's Profession," "Arms and the Man," "Major Barbara," and "Man and Superman," tackled themes like social inequality, the impact of capitalism, and the role of women in society. One of his most famous works, "Pygmalion," explored issues of class, identity, and language. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Additional Resources Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw http://www.loyalbooks.com/book/pygmalion-by-george-bernard-shaw

In this episode we explore the long history of concerns that some money may be "tainted", and ask what this means for philanthropy now and in the future. Including:The history of tainted donations, featuring: St Augustine of Hippo, The Venerable Bede, St Thomas Aquinas, The Paris Guild of Prostitutes, Frederick Douglass, George Cadbury, George Bernard Shaw, The Salvation Army, J. D. Rockefeller, Mark Twain and G.K. Chesterton.Is a donation only tainted if the method of wealth creation is ethical questionable, or can it be tainted by association becasue a donor is problematic for some other reason?How have views about what kinds of wealth creation are or aren't ethically acceptable changed over time?Is there a statute of limitations of any kind on tainted money, so that after a certain period of time it is deemed OK despite any problematic connections?Is it enough to acknowledge when wealth is based on past injustices such as slavery, or do active reparations need to be made? How does this work in practice?Should we distinguish between critiques of individual tainted donations and systemic critiques of wealth and capitalism as a whole?Who decides whether a donation is tainted?Is it better to take tainted money if the charitable activity being funded addresses the ethical concerns arising from the wealth? (E.g. using money from the gambling industry to address gambling addiction). Or does this increase the chance of reputation laundering?Does acceptance of a gift in reality always imply condoning the source of wealth?Are concerns about tainted donations greater when the donor is getting recognition for the gift? Would it be better if such gifts were entirely anonymous?Is it more acceptable to accept money from a tainted source if no strings are attached? Is this another argument for core cost funding?Is new technology bringing new challenges when it comes to identifying and assessing the sources of donations?Related links:Philliteracy thread on the history of tainted donationsRhod's article on "A Brief History of Satirising Philanthropy"Philanthropisms episode on Platform PhilanthropyPhilanthropisms episode on CryptophilanthropyPhilanthropisms episode with Ben SoskisEmma Saunders-Hastings's article “Send Back the Bloodstained Money”: Frederick Douglass on Tainted Gifts"Julie-Marie Strange & Sarah Roddy's Paper "Banking for Jesus: Financial Services, Charity, and an Ethical Economy in Late Victorian and Edwardian Britain" George Bernard Shaw's "Preface to Major Barbara, with First Aid to Critics"Teddy Roosevelt's "Man With the Muckrake" speech Curb Your Enthusiasm, "The Anonymous Donor" Part 1 and Part 2.
