The fascinating story of a British army chaplain's buggery trial in 1774 reveals surprising truths about early America.On the eve of the American Revolution, the British army considered the case of a chaplain, Robert Newburgh, who had been accused of having sex with a man. Newburgh's enemies cited his flamboyant appearance, defiance of military authority, and seduction of soldiers as proof of his low character. Consumed by fears that the British Empire would soon be torn asunder, his opponents claimed that these supposed crimes against nature translated to crimes against the king.In Vicious and Immoral: Homosexuality, the American Revolution, and the Trials of Robert Newburgh (JHU Press, 2024) historian John McCurdy tells this compelling story of male intimacy and provides an unparalleled glimpse inside eighteenth-century perceptions of queerness. By demanding to have his case heard, Newburgh invoked Enlightenment ideals of equality, arguing passionately that his style of dress and manner should not affect his place in the army or society. His accusers equated queer behavior with rebellion, and his defenders would go on to join the American cause. Newburgh's trial offers some clues to understanding a peculiarity of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century: while gay acts were prohibited by law in much of the British empire, the newly formed United States was comparatively uninterested in legislating against same-sex intimacy.McCurdy imagines what life was like for a gay man in early America and captures the voices of those who loved and hated Newburgh, revealing how sexuality and revolution informed one another. Vicious and Immoral is the first book to place homosexuality in conversation with the American Revolution, and it dares us to rethink the place of LGBTQ people in the founding of the nation.

Two non-profit professionals talk about plugging into community and finding low-vision resources through the Foundation

Steve is a natural as a host. He found his passion for the radio business at the age of six, but wasn't able to fulfill that dream till a little later in life.   As you listen to the wonderful stories Steve shares,  you'll find out that he was raised by both his maternal grandmother and his mom.  "Grandmother was worthless until a crisis. Grandmother was my mother, my light. 'Mother', as he refers to his mom, was my 'dad'-the two women set up  those 'roles'," McCurdy shares. You'll hear Steve repeat over and over again how magnificent his mother was -"a powerful, independent woman with a great, great mind, yet she wanted to be wild and crazy and she never really got to do that." Plus, Margie never went to college because any money the family  had went to Margie's brother's wants and needs. Margie started working in a local bank  in Texas at 16 and because of her expertise, hard work and dedication over decades of running the Proof Department, she was able to apply for a  program through Southwest Institute Of Graduate Business Studies and SMU. Because she had never gotten and undergraduate degree, she was able to take an exam, passed the test with flying colors, got her undergraduate degree certificate based on her lifelong experience and the exam and became the first person to ever complete a Masters program at SMU without having actually attended college. There is more to this story  as it was taking place in the late 60's and the Civil Rights Movement. Steve's mother made a considerable effort to train the other female employees and not just overlook them because she knew they were intelligent and capable to do any job if trained properly. There's so much more to Steve's story. Hope you enjoy this episode of SHLTMM.     Steve.mccurdy@storymastermedia.com CrossRoadDiner@storymastermedia.com   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Guest Ryan McCurdy is a Consultant, Producer, Writer, and Actor. His work has taken him across the concert and theatrical landscapes with appearances at NYC's Town Hall, Broadway's Minskoff and New Amsterdam Theatres, Carnegie Hall, and the legendary Bitter End.   Storyteller, songwriter, and performer Ryan McCurdy will bring his one-man musical Whiterock Cliff to Savannah for a special one-night-only performance at 7PM this Friday, August 28th, at Asbury Memorial Church. The evening will serve as a fundraiser benefiting Asbury Memorial Church and the Savannah Performance Alliance.    More about Ryan:   Serving as Music Director and Supervisor, Ryan has collaborated with companies like Manhattan Theatre Club, Second Stage, Rattlestick Theater, and The 24 Hour Plays. As a consultant and founder of Kinetic Stages, a producing organization specializing in Attractions and Museums, Ryan has collaborated with clients including American Prohibition Museum, Marvel, Civis Foundation, Key West Aquarium, Savannah Performance Alliance, and Oglebay Resort. He is an Actor-Musician trainer and developer, a private voice, acting, and public speaking instructor, and as a writer his projects Whiterock Cliff, 45 Bennington, and NIAGARA: A New Musical (with Lauren Widner) are all being developed for future production and licensing. Ryan is a twelve instrument multi-instrumentalist whose original music can be heard on stage, television, film, and through his work as a founding member of rock band ARBORETUM.     More about Whiterock Cliff:    Featuring special guest J.J. Collins – local singer, vocal coach and minister – Whiterock Cliff is a theatrical experience that blends autobiography, fiction, folk music and musical theater into a moving exploration of memory, resilience, creativity and the stories people tell to make sense of their lives. Set against the backdrop of a future where society has collapsed and the Appalachian Trail has become America's new superhighway, the production is both a fictional musical and a personal reflection on McCurdy's own experiences. In 2010, McCurdy began a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail with friends before a devastating fall at Jones Falls in Tennessee abruptly ended the journey. Nearly a decade later, he and collaborator Ellie Pyle transformed elements of that experience into a fictional musical set at the end of the world. Then came 2020, when reality unexpectedly echoed many of the themes they had imagined. The result is Whiterock Cliff — part biographical journey, part memory play and part jukebox musical featuring original folk songs by McCurdy. Audiences are invited into an intimate performance that explores mental health, the creative process, truth, memory and survival through music and storytelling. "Whiterock Cliff weaves together memory, music, mental health, the creative process, the stories we tell ourselves and the ones we tell each other," McCurdy said. "Share every story you survive." The Savannah performance marks the launch of McCurdy's Thru-Hike Tour, a yearlong journey bringing Whiterock Cliff to all 14 states along the Appalachian Trail, beginning in Georgia and traveling north. The production's evocative sound design is by Martha Goode with graphic design and branding by Patrick Bonsu. Joining the tour is company manager Katie Schmitz. All proceeds from the Savannah performance will directly benefit Asbury Memorial Church and the Savannah Performance Alliance, supporting their ongoing efforts to foster arts, culture and community engagement.     Learn more & follow here: https://www.actormccurdy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/actormccurdy/     To purchase tickets, visit  http://whiterockcliff.com/

In this episode I'm speaking with Dr. Christopher McCurdy and Dr. Swathi Nadakuduti about Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa). If you aren't familiar with this species, they are a tree from South-East Asia whose leaves have been chewed or brewed for a long time for a variety of reasons, but mostly used in a similar way to Coffee or Coca. More recently powdered leaves and live plants have been imported across the globe and have been used for similar uses as well as for treating pain, substituting for opioids and many other purposes. Between these 2 guests we cover traditional use, cultivation, chemical constituents, recent changes in the Kratom marketplace, and best practices for consumption. I was very impressed with their ability to speak on these topics utilizing their many years of primary research, but also in way that should be easily understood by most listeners. You can contact them through their faculty pages, or find their work on Google Scholar (Christopher / Swathi) or check out the website of the Nadakuduti Lab. The other podcasts I mention in the intro are: The Dugout, The Beautiful Idea. Thanks to MK for having me on The Child and It's Enemies.

Description In this episode of The Christopher Perrin Show, Christopher Perrin welcomes Keith McCurdy and Davies Owens for a conversation about Raising Sturdy Kids, Keith's new book on forming strong families and capable children. McCurdy argues that children today are not naturally sturdier than previous generations, but are often more fragile—marked by rising anxiety, depression, diagnoses, medication, and difficulty coping with discomfort. Using the image of trees that need wind and weather to grow “stress wood,” he explains why children also need healthy, productive struggle in order to become flexible, durable, and mature. Davies Owens connects this need to the larger challenge facing parents today: many families are disconnected from extended-family wisdom, surrounded by competing voices, and unsure how to parent with clarity and courage. The conversation assesses the self-esteem movement, gentle parenting extremes, fear-based parenting, and the cultural lie that feelings are the most important part of who we are. Together, they call parents, schools, and churches back to a shared vision of maturity: the ability to choose what is right even when it is difficult, uncomfortable, or unwanted. The episode closes by highlighting practical resources for parents and schools, including Raising Sturdy Kids, Basecamp Live's “Live Sturdy” conversations, and future ClassicalU resources.Episode OutlineIntroducing Raising Sturdy Kids and the need for strong families and capable childrenKeith McCurdy's background in mental health, counseling, and work with familiesWhy children today are often more fragile than sturdyThe tree analogy: stress wood, wind, weather, and healthy struggleDavies Owens on parents, extended family, and the loss of generational wisdomBasecamp Live, Zipcast, and the “Live Sturdy” conversations with Keith McCurdyThe self-esteem movement and the story of the broken baseball trophyThe cultural lie that feelings are the most important part of who we areHelping students understand that emotions cannot reliably discern truthParenting by consensus and the dangers of following the crowdThe “three Ps”: problem, principles, and practical applicationMaturity as doing what is right when it is difficult, uncomfortable, or unwantedCourage as every virtue at its testingFamily, school, and church as a threefold partnership in forming sturdy childrenWhere to find Raising Sturdy Kids and related resourcesKey Topics & TakeawaysSturdiness Through Struggle: Children do not become strong by being protected from every hardship. Like trees exposed to wind and weather, they need appropriate stress in order to grow durable, flexible, and mature.Truthful Encouragement: The self-esteem movement often replaces real formation with artificial praise. Children need adults who speak truthfully about failure, growth, effort, and responsibility.Feelings and Reality: Emotions have value, but they cannot reliably distinguish fantasy from reality or truth from distortion. Children must learn to understand feelings without being ruled by them.Courage and Virtue: Virtues become real when they are tested. Courage gives virtue flesh by enabling students to practice what is right under pressure.Shared Formation: Families, schools, and churches need common language and shared principles if they are going to form children in wisdom, virtue, and maturity.Benevolent Authority: Loving discipline is not harsh authoritarianism. Parents are called to lead clearly, calmly, and lovingly, without allowing raw emotion to govern correction.Questions & DiscussionWhere are children in your community most protected from healthy struggle?Consider areas such as schoolwork, chores, athletics, friendship conflict, disappointment, consequences, and technology. What would a healthy, age-appropriate version of productive struggle look like?What is the difference between encouragement and false praise?Discuss the baseball trophy story. Why did the child instinctively reject praise that did not match reality, and how can adults be both truthful and encouraging?How should we teach children to understand their emotions without being ruled by them?Consider McCurdy's examples of fear in an alley, fear in a dream, and fear while watching a movie. What do these examples reveal about feelings and truth?What does maturity look like in a child, teenager, or adult?Discuss McCurdy's definition of maturity as doing what is right when it is difficult, uncomfortable, or unwanted. Where do you personally need courage to do what is right despite discomfort?How can parents, schools, and churches become a stronger threefold partnership?Consider what your school or church reinforces well and where families may be receiving mixed messages. What shared language would help create a thicker culture of formation?Suggested Reading & ResourcesRaising Sturdy Kids: Simple Truths for Building Strong Families and Capable Kids by Keith McCurdyThe Abolition of Man by C.

Keith McCurdy is back on Space for Life for a follow-up to his episode on raising sturdy kids. This time the focus shifts to the adults, because it takes a sturdy adult to raise a sturdy child. After 40 years in mental health and tens of thousands of families, Keith shares why healthy struggle is the engine of growth, how to stop letting your emotions run the show, and the practices that build the kind of strength to do hard things and stay rooted in what actually matters.What You'll Take Away:Why healthy struggle is the engine of growth and maturity for adults, not just kids.How to stop letting emotions run you with the "no parenting above a five" rule.A simple framework for processing your past: honor what's honorable, respect what's respectable, and forgive the rest.Why most things that feel like emergencies are not, and the question to ask yourself in the moment.The four Ps that keep adults chasing the wrong identity, and what to chase instead.How forbearance and forgiveness function as the glue of every healthy relationship.Why cultivating relationships takes the same intentional effort we give our hobbies and our work.The one small step Keith recommends to start with today.Timestamps: (0:00) Intro (3:19) Why sturdiness matters now (10:35) Short term happiness vs long term wellness (19:48) We are not victims of our history(25:49) Are your emotions running you(27:14) The emotion Richter scale(38:38) The four Ps of false identity (43:54) Why we should not avoid struggle (54:35) The practice of forbearance(1:03:15) Start small with one thingResources:Keith's upcoming book, Raising Sturdy Kids, releasing May or June 2026.Basecamp Live podcast with Davies Owens, where Keith has appeared on roughly 50 episodes covering related topics.

Anxiety is everywhere today, but what if it doesn't always tell us the truth? In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies Owens welcomes back Keith McCurdy for another conversation in the Live Sturdy series. Together, they unpack why anxiety has become so common in students and parents, how overcommitment and fear-based decision making fuel the problem, and what schools and families can do to cultivate resilience, wisdom, and hope in a fragile age. Keith shares practical insight from years of counseling families, students, and school leaders. From sports overload to perfectionism to the pressure-filled culture surrounding today's kids, this episode offers a grounded and hopeful perspective on helping children grow stronger instead of more fragile.

Chris Lawrence opens spring gobbler season with two guests covering very different sides of outdoor life in West Virginia. Kelly McCurdy, district biologist for the National Wild Turkey Federation, details a new $820,000 multi-year agreement with the West Virginia DNR to improve public land access and habitat — beginning with road improvements on Sleepy Creek WMA — and covers the NWTF's plans for prescribed burning, native warm season grass conversion, and brood range restoration on WMAs across the state. McCurdy also addresses the recent end of the NWTF's private lands program through the NRCS and new legislation allowing prescribed fire on private land. Ed Daniels of Shady Grove Botanicals in Mill Creek then joins for a full conversation on morel mushroom hunting — covering how to find, identify, harvest, and preserve them — along with a broader look at medicinal mushrooms, wild ginseng season, and other edible and therapeutic species found in West Virginia's woods this time of year.

Matt is joined by Canadian 2:09 marathoner Tom Nobbs, fresh off a huge breakthrough performance at the McCurdy Marathon. Tom ran 2:09 on a low-key, looped course to become the fourth fastest Canadian marathoner of all time and he did 98%+ of the build up on a treadmill! He joins the show to break down the training, racing, and mindset behind the result.

Tom explains why the performance was especially meaningful given the unusual lead-in - it was his fourth marathon in around two and a half years, his first back-to-back marathon build since the Marathon Project, and a winter training block completed almost entirely on the treadmill. Tom shares how that treadmill-heavy buildup created a lot of uncertainty around race-day pacing and fitness translation. Once the pacer stepped off early, he was left to run roughly 22 miles alone on a looped course with confusing lap splits, forcing him to rely heavily on feel and effort rather than clean external feedback. That ability to stay composed and trust the work became one of the defining parts of the race. The conversation then turns to Tom's progression from 2:15 to 2:12 to 2:09. Rather than simply piling on more mileage, he credits much of that jump to improved speed, better quality, and specific Canova-style sessions such as 12 x 1K plus 6 x 400, along with frequent strides and faster running around 5K to 3K pace. Matt and Tom discuss how those layers of speed have helped raise his ceiling while still supporting marathon performance. They also get into body weight, fuelling strategy, and how Tom thinks about food through a marathon build, as well as race shoes, including the Puma Fast-R 3. Tom speaks about coaching with Team Run Run, his philosophy around helping athletes improve, and the value of putting bold goals out publicly rather than hiding from them. Later in the episode, they touch on Connor Mantz dropping Boston, the pros and cons of pros racing too often, and Tom's own plans moving forward, which include returning to shorter races on the track and over 10K before deciding on a possible fall marathon.

Please note: this episode contains explicit descriptions of sex.Jennette McCurdy pretty much grew up in front of an audience. In her role on the Nickelodeon show “iCarly,” she seemed like a bubbly, happy teenager. Behind the scenes, though, she was struggling. In her 2022 memoir, “I'm Glad My Mom Died,” McCurdy described her toxic and often abusive relationship with her mother, her struggles with depression and disordered eating, and the painful work she did to build herself back up. The book was a New York Times bestseller for over 80 weeks. McCurdy has a new book out, and this time, she's written a novel. “Half His Age” tells the story of an intimate relationship between a 17-year-old girl named Waldo and her 40-year-old teacher, Mr. Korgy. This week on “Modern Love,” McCurdy explains how some of her own experiences inspired the story in “Half His Age,” and how writing the book allowed her to work through her rage, understand her desire and reclaim her power.

In 2022, Jennette McCurdy shook the culture with I'm Glad My Mom Died, a brutally honest memoir that spent more than 80 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list, sold more than 3 million copies, and is now being adapted as a series for Apple TV+. But more than anything, the book marked a turning point for McCurdy as she reclaimed writing—not acting—as her true creative home.   Now, she's pushing her passion even further with her debut novel, Half His Age. The book follows Waldo, a 17-year-old student who enters an affair with her married English teacher. It's an unsettling, razor-sharp examination of power, consent, female rage, class, and consumerism.   In this conversation, McCurdy unpacks her writing process (it's a full-body endeavor), the discomfort she's intentionally leaning into, and what it means to take full authorship—and creative control—of her career.

I consumed a lot of Mormon and Mormon-adjacent media this week: Heather Gay's Surviving Mormonism, Elizabeth Smart's new documentary Kidnapped and Jennette McCurdy's latest novel Half His Age.

And I also end up sharing a heavy family conversation I had this week about immigration enforcement and just how intense everything feels right now.

After the huge success of her memoir, I'm Glad My Mom Died, Jennette McCurdy marks a bold transition to fiction with new novel Half His Age. But to McCurdy, no matter the genre, it's all about the voice, and she's confident about hers. “I feel like my voice is my voice.” Half His Age explores the “funny-sad” tightrope of Waldo, a girl with an unconventional attraction toward her teacher. “Though this is told through Waldo's perspective as a 17-year-old senior in high school, there's certainly a lot of overlap in our voices, in our point of view.” The story had an impact on McCurdy. “For this book, I had a lot of experiences where I'd feel so much rage that I'd be crying.” To hone this energy, she rids herself of outside influences. “I not only don't read, but I also don't socialize.” She's already plotting a film adaptation. “Maybe 50 percent of making a good film or TV show is writing a good film or TV show.” Fortunately, she's already halfway there as a bestselling author.

In June 2018, Tristan Beaudette and his brother-in-law Scott McCurdy had left their wives in Orange County to embark on a final camping trip together before Tristan and his wife Erica relocated to the Bay Area. Their home for the night …Malibu Creek State Park, near beautiful Malibu Beach. After a night by the campfire, Beaudette and McCurdy went to their respective tents and settled in for bed. Already asleep inside the separate tents were their most treasured possessions: Scott's two boys, ages 3 and 5 and Tristan's daughters, 2 and 4. Sometime after 1 in the morning on June 22, 2018, Scott was awakened by what he thought were fireworks. Then he heard Tristan's daughters crying. Scott told his boys to stay put while he went to Tristan's tent to investigate. There, he saw Tristan lying face down in the center of the tent and his daughters huddled together, crying. Tristan's face was covered in blood.  Given Malibu's reputation as a safe beach town, nobody believed Tristan's murder was a random act of violence. The community was shocked after an arrest was made and law enforcement alleged there was a monster in the Malibu Hills killing indiscriminately.  Follow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!
