    What does it cost to love a place and a faith that shaped you, even after they've hurt you?This week I sit down with Emilee Hackney, author of the New York Times bestselling memoir All That's Unseen, to talk about growing up in Tazewell, Virginia, and the long, winding path that took her from a Pentecostal church pew to Harvard Yard to a bestseller list.We talk about the church she grew up in from age five, the engagement she entered as a teenager, and the slow, painful process of questioning beliefs she'd never been taught to question until she left home for Harvard. Emilee is remarkably generous about her younger self throughout our conversation, and that same compassion runs through every page of her book. We get into the isolation she felt as an Appalachian student surrounded by people who saw her as, in her words, an exotic creature from a shameful corner of the country, and how spite became an unlikely motivator for her education.Of course... politics come up too. Emilee doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable truths in her research, from Trump's proposed defunding of the Appalachian Regional Commission to his rollback of coal dust health protections, even as she pushed back against easy judgments of the people who voted for him anyway. We talk about fear as a political currency, about algorithms that feed conservatism to anyone who engages with Appalachian content, and about the quiet apathy Emilee believes both parties have shown her home region for generations.We end with hope, opossums, and the strange, permanent tension of loving a place you can never quite be happy in or without. This is a memoir about reckoning with faith, class, and identity, and Emilee brought every bit of that nuance into our conversation.Share this conversation with anyone who grew up somewhere they had complicated feelings about leaving."A personal essay, as it turned out, was about more than the people and places I knew. It was about how those people and places affected me: how I saw them, how I interpreted them, how I understood them in my greater understanding of the world." - Emilee Hackney's memoir ALL THAT'S UNSEENConnect with Emilee Hackney:@emileehackneyBooks Referenced:ALL THAT'S UNSEEN by Emilee HackneySTOLEN PRIDE by Arlie Russell HochschildSupport the show:Buy us a bookBuy cute merchon PatreonSubscribe on AppleSubscribe on SubstackThis episode is produced, recorded, and its content edited by me.

    As a child, Lim Muy Lang grew up in a prosperous Sino-Khmer family in Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, in the late 1960s and early 1970s. When the Khmer Rouge seized power in April 1975, her family, along with the entire population of Phnom Penh, was forced to immediately leave the city for the countryside. What followed was a harrowing struggle for survival under the Khmer Rouge's radical revolutionary regime, which led to the deaths of all of Muy Lang's immediate family members, and much of her extended family. In the Shadow of the Khmer Rouge: A Child Survivor's Memoir (NUS Press, 2026), is Muy Lang's account of what happened. It's a story of almost unimaginable pain, cruelty, and loss, but also an incredible struggle for survival. And not least, the book is a delightful, deeply personal recollection of childhood and family life in Cambodia before 1975. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Episode 156 - A lesson in fact checkingThis short episode is going to be a lesson in fact checking. Fact checking takes time and, personally, I enjoy doing it, it helps my critical thinking stay sharp and I usually learn something on the way. It is genuinely satisfying to get to a result, even if I already knew what the result would be. Fact checking is also important because it helps us to validate things that we have been told. Fact checking should be considered the twin sister of skepticism, because being skeptical should also mean being prepared to put in effort to check the things we want (or don't want) to believe.1) Five Mere Christianshttps://www.jordanraynor.com/five-mere-christianshttps://somersetuk.borrowbox.com/product/DRA_6616304/title/five-mere-christianshttps://www.eden.co.uk/christian-books/the-church/christian-leadership/five-mere-christians-9780736991704/2) Hannah Morehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Morehttps://www.hannahmoreletters.org/hannah-more/biography3) the Hannah more quote - page 301"We saw but one Bible in all the parish, and that was used to prop a flower-pot."https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Memoirs_of_the_Life_and_Correspondence_o/eeUDFO5UJVgC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=hannah+more&printsec=frontcover4) a secondary source - suggests Cheddarhttps://www.thomasgenweb.com/shipham_history_p146_147.jpg5) Text of Charlotte M.

Recap of last week and Robert Williams' increased commitment to publicizing their Counter-Violence program: Hypocrisy of Non-Violence: Williams once again points out that White and non-white people are quick to reject and/or protect White people from counter-violence in response to Racism. But these same White and non-white people are silent about the daily White Terrorism against black people.

     Voters Right Act, Chicago Tribune, Slate, NY Times On the Eve of the 2026 March on Washington, we reflect back to August 6th, 1965 the Voting Rights Act was Signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson. C.T. Vivian, a prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement, was violently attacked by Sheriff Jim Clark while attempting to escort a group of African Americans to register to vote. Steve Fiffer is a New York Times Bestselling Author. His Book is "It's in The Action": Memories of a Nonviolent Warrior, Rev C.T. Vivian's Memoir.Reverend Vivian was a Major Force in the Fight for Civil Rights & Voters Rights in the Twentieth Century till he Passed July 17th, 2020.Regardless of Social Status, Party Affiliation or Belief, Race: Libertarian, Democrat, Progressive or Republican or Other, All Americans Should Have the Right to Vote!Senator Barack Obama, speaking at Selma's Brown Chapel on the March 2007, anniversary of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches, recognized Vivian in his opening remarks in the words of Martin L. King Jr. as "the greatest preacher to ever live."Studying for the ministry at American Baptist Theological Seminary (now called American Baptist College) in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1959, Vivian met James Lawson, who was teaching Mohandas Gandhi's nonviolent direct action strategy to the Nashville Student Movement. Soon Lawson's students, including Diane Nash, Bernard Lafayette, James Bevel, John Lewis and others from American Baptist, Fisk University and Tennessee State University, organized a systematic nonviolent sit-in campaign at local lunch counters.Vivian helped found the Nashville Christian Leadership Conference, and helped organize the first sit-ins in Nashville in 1960 and the first civil rights march in 1961. In 1961, Vivian participated in Freedom Rides. He worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr. as the national director of affiliates for the SCLC. During the summer following the Selma Voting Rights Movement, Vivian is perhaps best known for, Vivian challenged Sheriff Jim Clark on the steps of the courthouse in Selma, Alabama, in 1965 during a drive to promote Black people to register to vote."You can turn your back on me, but you cannot turn your back upon the idea of justice," Vivian said to Clark as reporters recorded the interaction. "You can turn your back now and you can keep the club in your hand, but you cannot beat down justice. And we will register to vote, because as citizens of these United States we have the right to do it."Vivian conceived and directed an educational program, Vision, and put 702 Alabama students in college with scholarships (this program later became Upward Bound). His 1970 Black Power and the American Myth was the first book on the Civil Rights Movement by a member of Martin Luther King's staff.On August 8, 2013, President Barack Obama named Vivian as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.Steve's own Memoir is "Three Quarters, Two Dimes, and a Nickel".

    Is a sobriety memoir still honest if the author was relapsing while she wrote it? That's the question Suz and I couldn't shake after reading and listening to Jodi Sweetin's "UnSweetined", and it's why we brought this one back as a bonus episode.We dug into Jodie's story from Full House's beloved Stephanie Tanner to the meth addiction she hid for years, and we couldn't agree on much except this: the book is fascinating, fast paced, and also strangely hard to trust. Jodie wrote most of "UnSweetined" while she was actively using, only getting sober once she became a mother, and we talked about what that means for a memoir that's marketed as a redemption story. We got into the newer audiobook forward Jodie recorded sixteen years after the book's original release, where she updates listeners on two more marriages, another child, and a version of sobriety she never quite defines for us.We also spent time in the good stuff, the Full House trivia we didn't know and the way the cast really did seem to love each other. But we kept circling back to the same tension. Jodie is disarmingly honest about her own manipulation and dishonesty, and yet there's a lack of accountability running underneath all of it, a scapegoating that never quite resolves. We talked about what we expect from addiction memoirs, whether humor can be armor, and whether a book like this would exist at all if she weren't famous.Share this conversation with someone who grew up watching Full House, or with anyone who's ever wondered what a redemption arc actually requires."I still don't know what it was that I was so unhappy about. To some people it probably looked like I had it all. If I had to sit and list what was bothering me at the time, I don't think I could have done it. All I knew was that I didn't want to be me." - Jodie SweetinThank you for supporting the show!xx, Alex Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Moving forward from last week's recap of numerous attempts to kill the Williams' family, we'll pick up in the middle of Chapter 42. Recap of last week and Robert Williams' increased commitment to publicizing their Counter-Violence program: Repeated Murder Attempts: The KKK and Racists Whites in general made repeated attempts to kille Robert Williams - including ramming his vehicle and running him off the road. Williams emphasized that this attempt happened meters from the State Police headquarters, yet nothing was done. Cowardly Racists: In one of the main themes of the memoir, Robert tells us about Racists' intentions of of violently attacking his young children. During one North Carolina protest, Whites mistakenly identified a 10-year-old black boy as Robert's offspring and beat him unmercifully. A gang of Racist White Men to beat a single black child. Well Meaning White People: Robert Mentions that a number of "just minded" Whites were inspired by their counter-racist efforts. He even says that some of these Whites offered firearms to help them battle the North Carolina Racists. He also mentions several "White allies" encouraging him to love White people and use more sweet words to win over the Racists. Rob encouraged them to give it their best shot - while keeping his firearms at the ready. #TheCOWS17Years #RobertAndMabelWilliams #MilitaryIntelligence #CounterRacism #RadioFreeDixie #GlobalWhiteSupremacy #NaziPOWs #StockadeDeception #MonroeNC Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

    Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with author Yossi Klein Halevi. The Hartman Institute senior fellow, writer and thinker joins us in our Jerusalem studio for a probing conversation about Jewish extremism. Klein Halevi is the author of the 1995 "Memoirs of a Jewish Extremist," based on his time spent as a disciple of far-right racist firebrand Meir Kahane. He is uniquely poised to delve into the psyche of the violent fringe terrorizing West Bank Palestinian and shaking members of the settler movement. We discuss the throughline between the era that spawned Kahane and his followers and today's national traumas that are spurring extremists to believe Kahane was right all along. Through Kahane's vanities and human frailties, Klein Halevi realized that the cult of personality was dangerous and unhealthy. We ask, what happens if adherents believe their racist violence is actually in the service of God? Klein Halevi, optimistic that these youth can be awoken, sets out conditions that could, slowly, allow for their transformation. And so this week, we ask Yossi Klein Halevi, what matters now.

    Eva Zu Beck seems like an unlikely solo pioneer in the wilds of Pakistan, but her fearlessness has taken her around the world with just a van, a dog, and a camera.
