Novelist Eleanor Shearer joins co-hosts V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell to discuss her new novel, Fireflies in Winter, which depicts the little-known history of how the Leeward Maroons of Jamaica—a free Black community descended from formerly enslaved Africans and indigenous people—came to Nova Scotia at the end of the 18th century. Shearer, who is British and has Caribbean ancestry, explains the genesis of her interest in the Maroons as an example of successful resistance to slavery, since they fought the British in Jamaica, but also a kind of collusion with it, as they captured and returned runaway slaves to plantations there. She reflects on the connections between her Black heroines' precarious situation in historic Canada and the situation of immigrants in the U.S. and elsewhere today. She also considers her research process, depicting queer life in earlier periods, the importance of sensory and embodied detail in historical writing, and her choice to write about the past in the present tense. Shearer reads from Fireflies in Winter.To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

The central theme of this podcast episode revolves around the centennial celebration of the Pottsville Maroons, a notable football team from 1925, which I recently attended. This occasion not only commemorated the rich history of the team but also highlighted the enduring community spirit surrounding it, as evidenced by the mayor's proclamation of August 16, 2025, as Pottsville Maroons Day. I recount the experiences of the celebration, which included a tour of significant historical sites in Pottsville, such as the Schoolkill County Historical Society and the Yingling Brewery. Furthermore, I detail my interactions with fellow historians, former NFL players, and members of the Maroons' families, all of whom contributed to the remembrance of this storied franchise. The episode culminates in a discussion of my recently published book, "Marooned," which details the rise, fall, and redemption of the Pottsville Maroons in the annals of NFL history.Join us at the Pigskin Dispatch website and the Sports Jersey Dispatch to see even more Positive football news!

The podcast embarks on an exploration of a significant event in American football history: the centennial celebration of the Pottsville Maroons' 1925 championship team. This occasion was marked by a gathering in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, where community members, former NFL players, and football historians convened to commemorate the legacy of a team that played a pivotal role in the early years of professional football. The hosts share their firsthand experiences from the celebratory weekend, detailing a series of tours and events that took place. They recount visits to historical sites, including the Schuylkill County Historical Society, where artifacts of the Maroons were displayed, and the Yingling Brewery, underscoring the town's rich cultural tapestry. The episode captures the essence of the event, showcasing the community spirit and the continued passion for the Maroons even after a hundred years, as well as highlighting the contributions of notable figures associated with the team, such as Joe Zacko, whose legacy as a fan and supporter remains strong within the town.
In a roar in-depth interview, Broncos centre Gehamat Shibasaki has revealed how he managed to turn his NRL career around in the last 12 months, crediting coach Michael Maguire and the work of sports psychologists for his stunning rise which saw him earn a State of Origin debut for the Maroons.

Over five centuries ago, fabled conquistador Juan Ponce de Leon became the first European to place his espadrille on North American soil... yet it would take three more of those centuries the steamy, sunny peninsula he claimed would be host to any permanent European society. Florida was thus the first American state to be explored, yet the last to be settled. Colonial Florida presents a compelling question: what goes on here? The answer involves fisher-kings and filibusters, pirates and planters, Muscogees and Maroons, and many, many eccentric Florida Men. Liam and Russian Sam are joined once again by Jackson (@GraceCthdralPrk) for the first in a series on the Sunshine State — probably the most peripheral of the Lower 48, yet fundamental to American history, from the unsteady beginnings of colonialism to the ravages of Andrew Jackson and eventually the 20th-century triumph of air conditioning, swamp-draining and beachfront real estate. This episode of Gladio Free Europe examines Florida in its long early days as a permanent borderland, a place contested by shifting configurations of European authority who never had more than nominal control over its swampy ground. This unique situation allowed Native American states to have longstanding levels of autonomy, from the Calusa kingdoms of the 16th century to the multiethnic Creek and Seminole confederations of the 19th. Although Florida would experience major political and demographic changes from 1513 to 1821, it would remain the eternal frontier. From Ponce de Leon through Andrew Jackson, no conquistador could fully quash Native resistance, and all colonizers had to afford legal rights and human dignity to the large numbers of free people of color residing in Florida. Though Europeans quickly found there was no fountain of youth and no cities of gold, rumors of exotic riches and fruitful soil continued to inspire generations of swindlers and swashbucklers. Join Gladio Free Europe to see how all of these factors contribute to the myth-making of the Sunshine State, the most desired and most disreputable appendage to America.Ending music is Harden Stuckey's "The River St. Johns" as performed by Jake Xerxes Fussell. The diva in the episode art is the Key Marco Cat, a timeless icon of Calusa craftsmanship.

As NFL training camps get underway and the 2025 NFL Football Season commences, what better time than now to take a look back at the incredible story of the 1925 Pottsville Maroons, This team is listed as the No. 1 team atop the NFL standings in 1925 by NFL.com. Yet, even though they were originally noted as the NFL Champions of 1925, the Chicago Cardinals (now the Arizona Cardinals) are considered to be the champions. So much happened to cause this injustice. NFL President Joe Carr was ill and in the hospital, the Maroons played an exhibition game against the Notre Dame "Four Horsemen," the Frankford Yellow Jackets voiced their displeasure that the Maroons were going to play this exhibition game in Frankford's home stadium, Shibe Park in Philadelphia, and there was an issue with the Chicago Bears and Red Grange too. When all was said and done, the Maroons had their title stripped and it was given to the Cardinals. But, yes there's more, the Cardinals owner, Charles O'Brien, refused to accept the championship, and for many years, there was no team known as the 1925 NFL Champions. On this episode of Sports' Forgotten Heroes, Darin Hayes and Jeffrey Payne, who co-wrote the book "Marooned," join the podcst to talk about the Maroons, their history and the incredible season of 1925.Mentioned in this episode:Sports History Network Theme SongThis theme song was produced by Ron "Tyke" Oliver of Music Meets Sportz https://sites.google.com/view/sportsfanztastic?usp=sharing
