In this episode of Inside Coverage, hosts Jason Fitz, Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab go full Christmas Carol as they look into the Dallas Cowboys' past, present and future. The crew start by reacting to the breaking news that Robert Saleh will interview for the vacant head coaching job. Is Saleh the right guy to get the organization over the hump? Next, the hosts step into the Cowboys' past by reflecting on Mike McCarthy's tenure as head coach. While McCarthy's regular-season success has been undeniable, the panel debates whether he was truly the coach to break the Cowboys' playoff drought. Is he the floor raiser Dallas needed, or did the team need someone who could elevate them to the next level?Moving into the Cowboys' present coaching search, the hosts dissect the latest rumors surrounding potential candidates, including the surprise whispers about Deion Sanders and other possible hires like Kellen Moore and Anthony Lynn. Would Moore, who has a deep connection to the team, be able to guide Dak Prescott to greater heights, or does Dallas need a more seasoned coach with the chops to challenge Jerry Jones' established culture? Finally, the trio peer into the Cowboys' future and what they would want Jerry to look for in their next coach, from someone who could challenge Jerry's established culture to whether or not the next coach needs previous head coaching experience.Later, the focus shifts to the NFL playoffs, with a preview of the AFC Divisional Round matchups. The crew gives their thoughts on the Houston Texans vs. Kansas City Chiefs, examining how Houston's defensive line could exploit Kansas City's weaknesses. The hosts also break down the Baltimore Ravens vs. Buffalo Bills, discussing how Lamar Jackson & Derrick Henry could lead the Ravens past the Bills, despite Lamar's past playoff struggles.(1:00) - Robert Saleh interviews for Cowboys HC job(9:30) - Cowboys' past & the Mike McCarthy era(23:20) - Cowboys' present: potential head coach candidates(32:05) - Cowboys' future: what do the Cowboys need out of their next head coach?(46:00) - Texans @ Chiefs predictions(47:50) - Ravens @ Bills predictionsSubscribe to Inside Coverage on your favorite podcast app:

The sweeping new Showtime series Fellow Travelers chronicles a relationship between two gay men played by Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey. It spans the McCarthy Era of the 1950s through the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. One is perfectly content to stay in the closet and live a lie, and the other wants more out of their relationship. As the years pass the two men keep coming back together only to find the power dynamic between them shifting back and forth.
Peter Seeger (May 3, 1919 – January 27, 2014) was an American folk singer and social activist. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, Seeger also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of the Weavers, notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene," which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of the Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, Seeger re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, counterculture, workers' rights, and environmental causes. A prolific songwriter, his best-known songs include "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" (with additional lyrics by Joe Hickerson), "If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)" (with Lee Hays of the Weavers), "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" (also with Hays), and "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)", which have been recorded by many artists both in and outside the folk revival movement. "Flowers" was a hit recording for the Kingston Trio (1962); Marlene Dietrich, who recorded it in English, German and French (1962); and Johnny Rivers (1965). "If I Had a Hammer" was a hit for Peter, Paul and Mary (1962) and Trini Lopez (1963) while the Byrds had a number one hit with "Turn! Turn! Turn!" in 1965. Seeger was one of the folk singers responsible for popularizing the spiritual "We Shall Overcome" (also recorded by Joan Baez and many other singer-activists), which became the acknowledged anthem of the civil rights movement, soon after folk singer and activist Guy Carawan introduced it at the founding meeting of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1960. In the PBS American Masters episode "Pete Seeger: The Power of Song", Seeger said it was he who changed the lyric from the traditional "We will overcome" to the more singable "We shall overcome".

The anti-communist Red Scare of the 1940s and 1950s spared no corner of the country or the culture. The FBI combed the Green Mountains looking for communists, and the University of Vermont ousted a suspected faculty member. In Hollywood, 10 screenwriters and directors refused to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee, or HUAC, which led to a highly publicized hunt for supposed communist sympathizers and “subversives” throughout the entertainment industry.The Hollywood 10, as they came to be known, used the HUAC hearings in 1947 to condemn the committee. Among them was Dalton Trumbo, one of Hollywood's highest paid writers. His credits included “Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo” (1944). As result of their defiance and principled stands, Trumbo and other members of the Hollywood 10 were convicted of contempt of Congress, fined, imprisoned and blacklisted from working in the film industry. Trumbo was unable to make a living under his own name for more than a decade, though he continued to write scripts under pseudonyms and use other writers as a front. He won an Oscar for “The Brave One” (1956), which he wrote under the name Robert Rich.In 1959, former President Harry Truman denounced HUAC as the “most un-American thing in the country today.” The Hollywood blacklist ended in 1960, when Trumbo was publicly credited with writing two films, “Spartacus” and “Exodus.” In 1975, the Academy Awards officially recognized Trumbo as the writer of “The Brave One.”“Trumbo: Red White & Blacklisted” is a two-person play featuring Trumbo's letters that was written in 2003 by Trumbo's son Christopher. The play is being performed in Vermont beginning Feb. 11 in Plainfield, Waterbury Center and White River Junction. It is directed by Monica Callan, narrated by Nick Charyk, and actor and former State Rep. Donny Osman plays Trumbo. Rick Winston, author of “Red Scare in the Green Mountains: Vermont in the McCarthy Era 1946-1960,” is an adviser to the play.Trumbo served 11 months in prison for contempt of Congress. “As far as I was concerned, it was a completely just verdict. I had full contempt for that Congress,” he wrote.

So it turns out, JJ McCarthy is really good at football and easily won the starting quarterback job after his first start. Now, The McCarthy Era is officially upon us as the young sophomore has two more games to get things tightened up before heading to Iowa for the first road game of the season. McCarthy didn't get to practice during the spring due to a shoulder injury and was apparently neck and neck with Cade McNamara throughout fall camp. Now, he's clearly far better than McNamara and ready to lead the Wolverines into the meat of the 2022 schedule. We also discuss Cade's future. Last year's starter did lead Michigan to a win over Ohio State, a Big Ten title and an appearance in the College Football Playoff. He didn't stuff the stat sheet in the process, but he was still the starter and played clean, efficient football. So now we'll all wait and see what McNamara wants to do. All of that, plus some of Jim Harbaugh's words from his Monday press conference on this episode of The Wolverine Digest Podcast.
The new documentary "Citizen Ashe" tells the story of the life and activism of tennis great Arthur Ashe. Ashe's brother, Johnnie joins us.

Nancy and Sarah tackle the curious case of Frank Langella, the celebrated actor fired from Netflix's Fall of the House of Usher after a young actress complains about an on-set interaction, while Fred Savage gets disappeared from The Wonder Years reboot for “abusive behavior,” though we're not sure what kind. On the Depp-Heard beat, Nancy and Sarah consider body language in the courtroom, “mutual abuse,” the problem with psychiatric diagnoses, and why women are the most complicated characters. Sexy selfies are discussed, but not enough (future episode!). Meanwhile, the fire over Roe v. Wade keeps raging, but Sarah finds hope and wisdom in another podcast, and Nancy has a message for anyone who thinks motherhood is the end of freedom.Also, Sarah rewatches Citizen Kane, prompting the memory of Orson Welles commercials for Ernest & Julio Gallo wine, though it turns out to be Paul Masson, but we're not sure Welles remembered that either:Episode notes:Conor Friedersdorf's The Best of Journalism Killers of the Flower Moon by David GrannOrson Welles on Woody Allen, Elia Kazan, Jean-Luc Godard, etc. (twitter thread)Dorothy Comingore, exiled actress from Citizen Kane (Wikipedia)Wanderer by Sterling Hayden“Fired by Netflix, Frank Langella Refutes Alleged Allegations of ‘Unacceptable Behavior.'” (Deadline)“Netflix's Big Wake-Up Call: The Power Clash Behind the Crash” (Hollywood Reporter)“It's Official: Linguistic Intent No Longer Matters at The New York Times” (Matt Welch, Reason)“The disturbing story behind the rape scene in Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris, explained” (Vox)“CBS Studios' ‘Last Tango in Paris' Series to Focus on Maria Schneider's Perspective on Controversial Production” (Hollywood Reporter)Nick Wallis on Depp v.

A Pumpkin Patch, a Typewriter, and Richard Nixon: The Hiss-Chambers Espionage Case
Alger Hiss is taken to prison Alger Hiss's conviction — technically for perjury, but effectively for treason — was a major event. It was a disaster for The Establishment, especially liberal Democrats, and vindication for Republicans and populist Democrats. The 18 month labyrinth of HUAC hearings, depositions in Hiss's libel suit, grand jury proceedings, and two criminal trials were the long, long overture to the so-called McCarthy Era. Senator McCarthy, in fact, gave his famous “I have a list . . .” speech just weeks after Hiss's conviction. This Podcast gives an overview of the many and complex reactions to the guilty verdict. Everyone, it seems, accepted the factual correctness of the verdict. But many liberals could not help making up excuses for Hiss, or damning Chambers for being fat and melodramatic. And many conservatives and populists could not help painting all liberals and Harvard graduates with the black pitch of Hiss's treason. Most interesting and encouraging to me, a significant number of liberals and Democrats were sufficiently mature and morally alive to engage in genuine introspection and self-criticism, to admit they had ‘blown it big time' when it came to Soviet traitors in our midst, and to resolve to fashion a liberal anti-communism that was just as vigorous as what Republican conservatives had been offering for decades. FURTHER RESEARCH The McCarthy Era, although sparked by this Case, is an oceanic subject beyond the scope of these Podcasts. If you want to read about it, among the best conservative books are George H. Nash's “The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945” (Basic Books 1976), esp. 84-130; and Richard Gid Powers' “Not Without Honor: The History of American Anticommunism” (Free Press 1995), esp. 191-272.See also Professor Harvey Klehr's essay “Setting the Record Straight on Joe McCarthy,” https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/setting-record-joe-mccarthy-straight-harvey-klehr/. Among the far more numerous, totally anti-McCarthy books are David Caute's “The Great Fear:The Anti-Communist Purge Under Truman and Eisenhower” (Touchstone 1979), esp. 56-62; Fred J. Cook's “The Nightmare Decade:The Life and Times of Senator Joe McCarthy” (Random House 1971); Victor Navasky's “Naming Names” (Viking 1980) (especially the early pages); I.F. Stone's “The Truman Era: 1945-52” (Little Brown 1953) (Stone was himself a secret agent of the Soviet Union); and James A Weschler's “The Age of Suspicion” (Random House 1953). I must note that it was a stroke of genius for the minimizers of Communist treason to name the era after anti-Communism's most irresponsible big name. This is as if racists had succeeded in labeling the civil rights movement The Al Sharpton Movement. Concerning the impact of the Hiss verdict in particular, Dean Acheson, in his autobiography “Present at the Creation: My Years at the State Department” (Norton 1987), titles his pertinent chapter (at 354) “The Attack of the Primitives Begins.” Alistair Cooke (at 340) also saw nothing good coming from Hiss's conviction. A more mature view, at page 267 of Walter Goodman's “The Committee:The Extraordinary Career of the House Committee on Un-American Activities” (Farrar, Straus & Giroux 1968), is that the Hiss-Chambers Case “whip[ped] up a storm which did not last long but left ruins in its wake.” Other more realistic analyses of the Case's impact on America are in Weinstein at 529-47 (chapter titled “Cold War Iconography I: Alger Hiss as Myth and Symbol”); the best single essay on this Case in my opinion, Leslie Fiedler's “Hiss, Chambers, and the Age of Innocence” at 3-24 of his “An End to Innocence: Essays on Culture and Politics” (Beacon Press 1955) and Diana Trilling's essay “A Memorandum on the Hiss Case,” first published in The Partisan Review of May-June 1950 and re-published at 27-48 of Patrick J. Swan's anthology of essays on this Case, “Alger Hiss, Whittaker Chambers, and the Schism in the American Soul” (ISI Books 2003). The latter two essays I highly recommend. Questions: If you had been adult when Hiss was convicted, what would have been your reaction to his conviction? ‘Justice at long last,' ‘a miscarriage of justice,' ‘guilty but a fair trial was impossible,' ‘technically guilty but with an excuse,' or something else? Would your reaction have been purely emotional/political/tribal, or would you have cited one or more facts to support your reaction? Would you have been totally certain that your reaction was the right one, or would you have harbored some doubts?
In this Episode Paul Leggett and his son James discuss the recent Tennessee ban of the Pulitzer Prize Winning comic book MAUS. it depicts Spiegelman interviewing his father about his experiences as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor. The work employs postmodernist techniques and represents Jews as mice, Germans as cats, Poles as pigs, Americans as dogs, the British as fish, the French as frogs, and the Swedish as deer. Critics have classified Maus as memoir, biography, history, fiction, autobiography, or a mix of genres. Paul discusses in length why band on Books are dangerous and his own experience with the McCarthy Era bans and communist scares. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gwendolyn-black/support

The inimitably stylish worlds of American Film Noir and pre Nouvelle Vague French crime cinema collide in the most commanding display of technical execution ever implemented in translating the artistry of the heist to the silver screen. After getting caught in the crosshairs of Hollywood's blacklisting during the McCarthy Era, director Jules Dassin found himself excommunicated to France, with nary an opportunity to reinvigorate his career in sight. With a meager budget and a cast of relative unknowns, including himself, Dassin set about making a film which reflected his desolate state of being, basking in the fabulously dark aesthetics of Film Noir and aided by all the salacious attributes of contemporary French cinema at his disposal. Rififi is most famous for its thirty-six minute long heist sequence, which plays out in almost complete silence. It is a high watermark for both the genre at large and for technical filmmaking in the abstract, as meticulously planned and executed as the crack team of jewel thieves demonstrate themselves to be throughout the film. We are joined this week by fellow The Twin Geeks staff member Stephen Gillespie, who has just returned from his double dose of festival coverage alongside Calvin, doling out the details for the highs and lows of both Fantasia Festival and Japan Cuts. We follow up last week's documentary discourse of Robert Epstein's The Celluloid Closet (1995) with his earlier, more resounding success, The Times of Harvey Milk (1984). All of this and more from your independent resource on classic and contemporary cinema.Timestamps:0:00: Stephen and Calvin go to Fantasia Festival11:13 Stephen and Calvin go to Japan Cuts26:00 The Times of Harvey Milk (1984)38:22 Rififi
The traditional narrative of the Civil Rights Movement centered on Martin Luther King and the N.A.A.C.P is often repeated to highlight liberal reform to the Jim Crow racial order that gripped America at that time. However, few Americans are aware of how much radical Black labor activists challenging the domination of capitalism were integral demanding solutions rooted in political economy as a means to address the conditions of Blacks in the United States. In this episode we will discuss how the McCarthy Era anti-communist fervor blunted the efforts of Black radicals to achieve solutions rooted in the economic reality of Black life.

While some philosophers view their primary task as one of discovering the nature of reality and then describing it accurately for the rest of us, others have practiced philosophy as an edifying enterprise, asserting that it should be employed to help us better resolve social and political problems—to change the world. Although both of these approaches have been utilized throughout history, the philosopher John McCumber argues that this later movement in philosophy was mostly purged from academia in the United States starting during the Cold War. 1950s McCarthyism and the “Red Scare” made many American politicians and professors wary of becoming blacklisted or punished for expressing viewpoints associated with communism. These views included concerns for the poor and economically-disadvantaged, support for labor unions, and outcries regarding exploitative economic practices. In turn, this meant that many academics were pushed out of their positions at colleges and universities if they engaged in rhetoric or activities that were perceived as being too “red.” This academic McCarthyism, according to McCumber, further enabled the ascent of analytic philosophy, a method that attempts to describe the world in the most linguistically precise way possible, leaning heavily toward a mathematical-like language to capture an accurate picture of reality. As a result, philosophy departments throughout the United States became less interested in engaging in edifying philosophy. Consequently, academic McCarthyism helped elevate subjects like mathematics, philosophy of science, and logic at the expense of political and social philosophy. In the later part of the twentieth century, Richard Rorty ushered in a new era of philosophy. Turning their own methods against them, Rorty argued that we ought to jettison analytic philosophy, instead focusing on the practical consequences of our ideas as they manifest in politics and society. Rejecting a representationalist approach, Rorty spent much of his career rallying philosophers around a more edifying position, suggesting that we’re better served by focusing on how ideas can advance society and improve social conditions for people—especially the poor and marginalized. In fact, Rorty went so far as to make several political predictions regarding the practical uses of philosophy and literature in the twenty-first century. On numerous occasions, he outlined how they would be applied throughout society to transform politics following what he imagines will be the darkest years in American history—from 2014 to 2044. Jeffrey Howard speaks with Jacob Goodson, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas. Goodson believes that, despite some of Rorty’s philosophical shortcomings, we ought to embrace a more edifying orientation toward ideas. In his recent book, The Dark Years?: Philosophy, Politics, and the Problem of Predictions (2020), he considers Rorty’s political predictions and how they might help guide us toward a better future. Goodson examines which predictions have already been realized—including the election of a “strongman” in 2016—which ones might be coming to fruition now, and whether Rorty’s conception of an idealized future will unfold in the way the neopragmatist philosopher hopes it will. A few questions to ponder. In what ways might analytic philosophy be inadequate for addressing social and political problems? Should philosophers focus on changing society or is their primary role to help us better understand the nature of reality? What does philosophy stand to lose by following Richard Rorty into his neopragmatist vision for the discipline? And where should we place our hope for the future?

Well, that didn’t take long. Less than two months into his first season with the franchise, Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is already the target of scrutiny after reports his players have lost confidence in his coaching following an embarrassing 38-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the podcast marveling at how quickly McCarthy’s good will has faded and how this particular instance has echoes of his final days with the Green Bay Packers.Next, Terez & Charles discuss the Buffalo Bills’ loss on Monday to the Kansas City Chiefs. Was the early-season Josh Allen hype unfounded or did the Bills just get handled by a better team? Also, Terez explains why Clyde Edwards-Helaire & Le’Veon Bell are not competitors for the same share of snaps, but rather complementary pieces on Kansas City’s burgeoning run-game. (13:50)On Tuesday, the Miami Dolphins announced they would be benching QB Ryan Fitzpatrick in favor of rookie Tua Tagovailoa. The guys explain why it was time for Miami to get the show on the road after the early success of Tagovailoa’s fellow first-rounders Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert. (21:00)In a week, Antonio Brown’s eight-game suspension is due to conclude and the Seattle Seahawks have been deemed the favorites to land the troubled wideout. Our experts take an early victory lap after they had been predicting this uneasy marriage for a few months now, however Brown’s leash will be undeniably short due to the complicating factors of the COVID season. (26:25)Speaking of COVID, the Las Vegas Raiders were forced to send all five of their starting offensive linemen home after contact tracing declared them potentially susceptible to COVID-19 after a single positive test on the team. Charles & Terez break down how this unfortunate situation will continue to rear its ugly head all season. Likewise, they discuss the possibility of the Super Bowl being pushed back as far as a month later than its typical early February date. (32:05)Finally, our experts close out the podcast previewing five matchups to keep an eye on this upcoming weekend.

Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner, your host for this early December holiday season edition of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, and have I got clips for you! (As I'm typing this I'm noticing that "have I got clips for you" feels like a question but if I were to put a question mark at the end of that sentence it feels…well, just wrong. I understand it's a rhetorical question but I never really stopped to think about what it looks like on paper or, in this case, a computer monitor…) Have I got clips for you? Of course I do — this is a clips addition of Succotash. It would be misleading and, frankly, weird if I didn't. I've got clips from: Maltin on Movies, Christal Clear The Podcast, Master Manual, High Content Pod, Unstructured, Shenk, and Weird Adults with Little Esther. We've also got a double dose of raging moderate Will Durst's Burst O' Durst segment. Plus a reading from the website of our still-fairly-new sponsor TrumPoetry.com. Ready? Let's go! CLIPS Master ManualHarmontown's "Dungeon Master to the Stars" Spencer Crittenden and game designer Cohen Edenfield discuss the finer points of leading a role-playing session in this surprisingly accessible advice show. Our clip is from the inaugural episode of Master Manual. In the episode, Spencer and Cohen answer questions and riff up a fresh new take on vampires, while the clip is from a segment called "Alternate Monster Lore". Maltin on Movies This soundcast should perhaps be entitled Maltins On Movies, as legendary film critic Leonard Maltin AND his daughter Jessie are the ultimate movie fans. They love talking about movies, especially with people who share their enthusiasm. In the epi released on November 2nd this year, their guest was comedian Dennis Miller, who is a diehard film buff. In the snippet we feature, Dennis recounts a past encounter with Leonard Maltin seasoned with references, and a discussion of The McCarthy Era of Hollywood History, as well as the beginning of a discussion about character actors. Unstructured Unstructured is a chat with people who are changing the world around them, through teaching, creating, or just living as an example. And when meeting folks, we can learn from each other, be inspired, and maybe even make a new friend, together. OUr clip is from Epi84 of the show, which dropped on October 25th of this year and featured Susan Bennett, who furnished the original voice of Siri, Apple's voice UI. She describes the recording process that when into creating Siri's voice. ShenkComedian Sara Weinshenk interviews comedians, musicians & artists living in LA. Topics include food, fashion, cannabis & comedy. The clip we're featuring comes from the episode entitled, "Mango Juul Pods, Snail Essence & Feet Pics W/ Comedian Brandon Wardell", from this past November. Sara and Brandon yack about fashion and speculate on life as a gamer. Weird Adults with Little Esther"Little Esther" Povitsky finds out what makes her fellow comedian friends both weird and adult with an irreplaceable quirk and charm not found anywhere else. This show seems to have largely gone away but it popped back on the radar last March following a live edition performed as part of the San Francisco Sketchfest. Esther was joined by Nick Wiger of Doughboys soundcast fame where they mostly talked about food. In the clip, the host mentions she has jaw pain and that leads to a conversation about strange interactions with a few medical professionals. Christal Clear The PodcastSeeking clarity in life, to make the most of my life. "Christal Clear" is my affirmation. Our clip comes from the "Be My Guest" episode from last October, where host Christal discusses the adjustments one makes when one receives feedback on their shows and guest Jae (who has been running the Pod Dealer Network for almost a year as of this recording) explores the anxieties of being the sole host of a show. High Content Hosted by Iraj Lopez and Joe Buratti, High Content had its first live episode last month at the Savage Henry Comedy Club in Eureka, California. After local comedians Jessica Grant and Nando Molina gave interviews the hosts of HiC unexpectedly invited me up on stage for a segment. Here is a bit that I clipped off for you from the "Would You Rather" portion of the interview. And there you have it... or rather here you had it... "it" being another "Succotash The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast" clips edition... ...that is still underway now that I think about it so (ahem) here you are having it, another edition of "Succotash The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast". Thank you for listening, thank you for retweeting us when you see our links ,and thank you for visiting www.succotashshow.com, clicking the Amazon banner right near the top of the page, and shopping as you normally would because when you do that, Amazon cuts us a small portion of that which goes to our server costs. (If you haven't done that before It's perfectly fine because we love you anyway…) If you are listening…we also love those who don't listen as long as they are also reasonably good people…and by "We" I mean "Me". I need to clarify that because I don't wish to speak on behalf of other people when it pertains to love. It's not a healthy habit to get into…and as an expectant father I need to maintain my health in as many areas as I can. So anyway, thank you for listening and if you like us a little you might tell your friends about us...which is one of the best ways of helping us out, and what we mean when we gently urge you to (Please) Pass the Succotash… — Tyson Saner

Red Time For Bonzo: A Marxist-Reaganist Film Podcast (Ronald Reagan Filmography)
*** Fair Warning - the first 29 minutes of this episode are devoted to a rather lengthy discussion re: whether Toronto really is the worst city in the world, or just another typically terrible blight on the late capitalist landscape. Feel free to skip ahead - although, if you do, you'll miss out on the ballad of whining Beaches resident Viola Bracegirdle.*** Conventional wisdom may hold that Reagan's political career began with his sociopathic campaign encomium to Presidential-Not-Too-Hopeful Barry Goldwater in 1964, but true Gipperistas know that the Great Communicator's first speech of note came 12 years earlier, in the closing moments of She's Working Her Way Through College. On that august occasion, RR (playing deep-thinking Lit Professor John Palmer) raised his voice in favour of accessible higher education for all and against society's prurient micromanagement of women's bodies. If only Prof. Palmer had run for office in 1980. Directed by Bruce "Lucky" Humberstone and co-starring (well, actually, starring) Virginia Mayo, She's Working Her Way Through College is one of the strangest remakes in history - transplanting 1942's prescient College Red Scare comedy The Male Animal into the barren political ground of the McCarthy Era. Naturally, all mentions of anarchist martyrs Sacco and Vanzetti have been excised from the script - instead, we get the initially-promising tale of a burlesque dancer who dreams of trading in her gams for iambs under Reagan's tutelage (until the college's scuzzy dean, an erstwhile admirer of Mayo's stage act, tries to throw her off the campus before he gets mid-century me-too'd). Our panel members agree that Mayo's pretty great in the role, but her story gets lost somewhere along the way, among too many of the wrong scenes imported wholesale from the original (presumably in an effort to demonstrate, once and for all, that Ronald Reagan, much as we love him, is no Hank Fonda). In keeping with the lobotomized spirit of 1950s political thinking, any systemic problems raised in the original film (starting with Nuremberg style campus football rallies) are reduced to accidents of history that can be resolved by firing (or, in this case, merely humbling) one villainous Administrator.

WAMC’s Alan Chartock In Conversation with Rick Winston, Professor and Author of the book Red Scare in the Green Mountains: Vermont in the McCarthy Era 1946-1960.
Bay Area author Lise Pearlman, has recently written a stunning new biography of prisoner rights activist and Fay Stender, Call Me Phaedra (Regent Press, June 5). Fay’s story as a fighter for the rights of black prisoners is especially relevant in today’s political turmoil, and Lise is an award-winning author, accomplished lecturer, trail-blazing lawyer, and nationally recognized civil rights historian. Call Me Phaedra: The Life and Times of Movement Lawyer Fay Stender provides an inside view of activism during the McCarthy Era, the Civil Rights Movement, Free Speech Era, the rise of black power, and the Women’s Rights Movement. It chronicles the extraordinary life and career of Fay Stender, focused particularly on her work as a rare female criminal defense lawyer and ground-breaking prisoners’ rights advocate. The book focuses on Stender’s achievements and challenges representing two black revolutionary clients.
In 17th-century Salem Village and Salem Town, women (and men) (and dogs) were accused of making a pact with Satan and signing his black book. The witch trials that followed are a historical spectacle surrounded by misconceptions and our modern interpretation of events. Your hosts Simone, Daniel, Tabitha, and Roman discuss what really went down as well as how the witch trials echoed through the McCarthy Era and the Satanic Panic. Plus, Simone's "acting skills", our high school performances of The Crucible, and whether kids today know what the Save icon is. Praise, condemnation, questions, and witchcraft accusals can be sent to blackmassappealpod@gmail.com.

Episode 117: All We Have to Fear Is the Tweet Itself This week Host Dave Bledsoe gets body slammed by the truth when he learns that wrestling is still a thing apparently. On the show this week, we tackle the Trump's Twitter War with the Media and wonder what the hell is wrong with America. (Hint: Both suck.) Along the way we dive into the credibility gap between our Fourth Estate and the American public and wonder how we got here. (Hint: Wolf Blitzer) We also threaten to reveal the identity of that one guy on Twitter who keeps pointing out typos in the show notes. (WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE “TOM”!) We hit the Wayback Machine for a trip to 1952 and see how a drunken loudmouth used the media to ascend to power and how the media used a drunken loudmouth for ratings. We reveal the truth about the REAL hero of the McCarthy Era and how a Senator slapped him in a Dupont Circle bar. (Honestly, this sort of things happens a LOT in DuPont Circle, at least in Dave's experience.) We also offer a sincere suggestion to CNN to solve their credibility problems and give America face of truth and integrity. (Hint: He told us about the dangers of Role Playing Games in the 80's. And it's NOT Pat Robertson) Our sponsor this week is Easy Eddie's Journalism Academy, skip the school and get the scoop!

In spring 1950, American academic and China expert Owen Lattimore was one of the first Americans to be publicly accused by Senator Joseph McCarthy of communist connections. Senator McCarthy named professor Lattimore as the main Soviet agent in the US; it would take him four years to clear his name. The professor's career in America, like that of many others accused by Joseph McCarthy of being Communist sympathisers, would never recover. Witness talks to one of Owen Lattimore's students about that time. (Photo: Senator Joseph McCarthy (centre) during hearings into the US army, which McCarthy accused of being soft on communism.

Author Bill Schelly joins Tim to discuss his new book "Harvey Kurtzman: The Man Who Created MAD and Revolutionized Humor in America" from Fantagraphics. Harvey Kurtzman createdMAD, andMADrevolutionized humor in America. Kurtzman's groundwork as the original editor, artist, and sole writer ofMADprovided the foundation for one of the greatest publishing successes of the 20th century. But how did Kurtzman inventMAD, and why did he leave it shortly after it burst nova-like onto the American scene? Bill Schelly's heavily researched biography finally and fully answers these question for the first time. Through fresh interviews with Kurtzman's colleagues, friends and family, including Hugh Hefner, Al Feldstein, James Warren, R. Crumb, Jack Davis, Gilbert Shelton, and many others, and an examination of Kurtzman's personal archives, this book tells the true story of one of the 20th century's greatest humorists.

Jerry Fielding. The name Jerry Fielding doesn't readily spring to mind when asked to name famous composers of film scores, yet he is a composer with a long pedigree in the industry. Having penned a large number of film scores from the 1960s onwards, Fielding composed the music for two episodes of Star Trek in 1966—both now iconic—"Spectre of the Gun" and "The Trouble with Tribbles." In this episode of Melodic Treks we take a look at Jerry and his life, including his forced exile from Hollywood and the early radio plays, including the now famous War of the Worlds adaptation by Orson Welles, from which he drew inspiration. We also talk about his extraordinary life and struggle to create a style all his own, as well as his collaboration with a diverse group of producers and directors that included Groucho Marx, Michael Winner, and Clint Eastwood.

Richard Eyre: In 2002, Lincoln Center dramaturg Anne Cattaneo moderated a One-on-One discussion with prolific British theatre, film, television and opera director Richard Eyre. He talks about directing The Crucible in the 1970's and in 2002, and how he sees the story as a fable rather than as a metaphor for the McCarthy Era as a result of growing up outside the country. He tells his audience about the importance of casting good actors, and his rejection of the idea of "concept" directing. They discuss running the National Theatre, dealing with input from producers, audience and critics and the difference between life as a freelance and artistic director. Other topics include theatre vs. film directing, Peter Brook's production of King Lear and how Eyre's knowledge of chemistry has informed his theatre. This eighty-minute interview is full of inspiring advice that aspiring directors will be quoting for years to come. Originally recorded - April 30, 2002. Running Time - 1:15:56 © 2002 SDCF

Today we will celebrate the legacy of Paul Robeson, born April 9, 1898. He was the youngest son of five children born to Presbyterian minister Reverend William Drew Robeson (1845-1918) and former schoolteacher Maria Louisa Bustill Robeson (1853-1904). He was the grandson of slaves and the son of a minister who escaped slavery and became one of Rutgers University's most famous and accomplished alumni. He is probably best known as an orator and baritone singer, actor and champion for justice, whether that was labor rights or just laws(http://prcc.rutgers.edu/Robeson/biography.htm) For siding with the poor and disenfranchised workers and for his activism Robeson was stripped of his passport during the McCarthy Era (1950s) and was unable to travel abroad. This limited his ability to work, especially his acting career, but the US government sanction did not stop or stifle his ability and willingness to speak out for justice for his people, for all people. We will featured a few selections from "Words Like Freedom: Paul Robeson," a collection of some of Robeson's lesser known speeches. Visit www.freedomarchives.org We are joined this morning by Bill Doggett, curator of an exhibit on Robeson and other African American Concert Singers in the early 20th Century at the San Francisco Main Library, 3rd level, on Larkin Street: "The African American Concert Singer 1900-1960 - The history of African Americans in the vocal arts in the world of classical music and opera." The closing program, April 9, 5:30-7:30 will have a birthday cake for Robeson, on what would have been his 111 birthday. All will be invited to share cake in his honor. The free event is in the Latino/Hispanic Community Room. Wanda's Picks will close with an interview with one of three people still being prosecuted in the aftermath of the Oscar Grant III killing (1/09). David is the only juvenile being prosecuted on felony charges. 16 years old and an Oakland high school student,he has an arraignment on 4/10.
