Wildfires are getting closer and closer to home. A new podcast by the Denver Museum of Nature and Science asks some really good questions about our relationship to fire in the American West. Like, can we learn to coexist with fire in the West?  United By Fire explores our relationship with the land amid rapidly changing wildfire behavior in a world that's burning hotter and faster than ever.

For all the hysteria about misinformation and disinformation, maybe we prefer ignorance. That's the intriguing thesis of the illustrious Columbia University intellectual historian, Mark Lilla, in his new book, Ignorance is Bliss. It all begins, of course, inside Plato's cave in his Republic, that metaphorical preface to Western thought where we are subjected to illusionary shadows and delusional reflections. And, for Lilla at least, it may end in the America of late 2024, where many of us appear to relish being back in Plato's cave, staring - sometimes even perhaps knowingly - at illusionary shadows and delusional reflections. So if ignorance is bliss, then what, exactly, is knowledge?Mark Lilla is Professor of the Humanities at Columbia University and a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books and other publications worldwide. His books include The Once and Future Liberal: After Identity Politics; The Shipwrecked Mind: On Political Reaction; The Stillborn God: Religion, Politics, and the Modern West; and The Reckless Mind: Intellectuals in Politics.

The guest for this Huddle episode needs no introduction: Kevin Costner has been part of all our lives for many years! He also personifies many of the traits we strive for at Walmart: reinventing ourselves, staying true to who we are, and delivering quality.  It was so fun to have Kevin join us at our 2024 Walmart U.S. Holiday Meeting, in Orlando, Florida. You can imagine how thousands of our associates reacted when he walked on stage! Kevin talked to the team about his work ethic, how he celebrates the holidays, and one of his products we sell in our stores and online. He even brought his band “Modern West,” and they put on an awesome performance!  I know you'll love this episode, where Kevin and I talk about how and when we found our personal “yellow brick roads” … and the difference Walmart is making in America.

It's not that what they've told you is wrong, it's that they haven't told you the WHOLE story...That was C.B. Robertson's summary of the gnostic sales pitch during our recent PH2T3R podcast, and it's becoming an inside joke in our circle. One of our best podcasts yet, we discuss Gnosticism and the "occult" as they relate to Solar Idealism. A note from CB Robertson: Gnosticism is not something to dwell on. But to avoid being led astray, it's probably wise to be aware of what Gnosticism actually is, and what it looks like when the gnostic impulse expresses itself in worldviews that go by other names.For more resources on the topic, James Lindsay has two short(ish) videos and one very long video going deeper into the ideas here (and it is worth saying, Lindsay is mostly borrowing from the work of Eric Voegelin):1. Gnosticism, Modern and Postmodern (20 min)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-vJ_qPPljc2. The Gnostic Temptation (23 min)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svFxRVW0IfU3. Gnosticism in the Modern West (2 hr 23 min)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spetALxmcScThere are also decent Christian sources on the early Christian gnostics. We're not terribly concerned with Christianity, but one can glean a lot about gnostics in general from the early Christian gnostics specifically (for the real deep-dive nerds):4.

I had a wonderful podcast today with William Haskell. We had done a podcast together two years ago in the middle of the pandemic, but it was really nice to actually spend time with him in person. Instead of focusing on how got to where he is today (since that story was told in epi. 129), I wanted to find out about his new show that he's doing for us. He's going to have 15+ paintings in a one-man show this coming January. We delve into not only the show and the paintings but at the more technical aspects of his painting process. It was a very introspective podcast and it was amazing to hear him speak on his process and how he solves the problems that he encounters at the easel. We also go into AI-generated art and discuss the ramifications artists are going to face down the road. So that's the kind of podcast it is and the kind I enjoy doing the most.  We get to have a nice back-and-forth and explore what's happening in his world and the world of art as a whole. It was a really fun podcast and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Art Dealer Diaries episode 269 with fine artist William Haskell.Visit Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery in Tucson, AZ for a show and sale of new works by William Haskell.  Opening night is Friday, January 12, 2024, from 5 - 7 pm, (artist in attendance).

Today on the show, a companion film to Ken Burns' "The American Bison" series follows the return of bison to Indigenous land. Mike Rowe, of Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs" fame, recently spoke at Casper College about the importance of trade jobs. Farmers and ranchers face a lot of outside pressure, from the high price of hay to the allure of early retirement. Why some cattle producers are choosing to keep their lands working. Plus, we learn more about the new season of our podcast "The Modern West." Those stories and more.

Filmmaker Ken Burns just released a new series called American Buffalo and The Modern West sat down to talk to him about it. He says it's a very new direction for him. “This is a project we've been thinking about for more than 30 years – a biography of an animal.”

What would you do if your thoughts keep you awake and restless at night? In the case of today's episode guest, he wrote down his words… and the result? A brand new book that was just launched during the beginning of September that answers a far more profound and ennobling question: what does it truly mean to be a warrior, both in and out of the uniform? Retired Marine Corps Veteran Jayson Downing had this passion and desire to do his part on contributing on how to make a situation better and see what actually he could do to help. He shared the reason and inspiration behind his book, Reawakening the Warrior Spirit: Exploring What it Means to be a Warrior in the Modern West that engages and explores some of the most challenging topics of the day from the unique perspective of the military warrior mindset. Jayson hopes that the people who will read the book can truly learn from it and get encouraged to do a lot more than they are currently doing and examine their lives, self and modern society.

Everywhere you look, people are asking the same question, “What the heck is happening in this crazy world we live in?” Depression and suicide are both on a rise, outrage has replaced reasoned discourse, victimhood is now a virtue, and cynicism in more the norm, instead of the exception. Enter in Marine Corps veteran Captain Jayson Downing who is on a mission to “Reawaken the warrior spirit and what it means to be a warrior in the modern west today.” Drawing on his own experiences in military training and the crucible of combat deployments, Jayson breaks down not only what exactly is going on in the modern West, more importantly, he addresses what we can do about it.   We are blessed to have Jayson on the IMPACT SHOW today. Specifically, here are some of the things we cover on this important topic that needs to be heard: A few of Jayson's top lessons that he learned as a Marine and how he uses them now in the civilian world. Why the transition from the military to the civilian world is often frightening and scary.   Why Jayson wrote his book (that just came out September 5th). Who this book is for and what's the mission behind the book. What is the Warrior Spirit…and where did it go? How to “Embrace life with strength & power” when you're getting your tail whopped.  You talk about “Pray for Peace…Prepare for War.” Talk more about that… What would be your recommendations be for young men & women today who not only want and need to survive, but want to lead and thrive in a changed world? Why I love the quote, “bleed more in training and die less in war.” How to be a modern day Warrior in the times we live in now. Jayson's big hope with this book and why everyone needs to read it and pass it on to a friend or family member.   I'm really proud of Jayson Downing. Not only is he a new author, he completed my “God-Sized Dreams” program a year ago and committed to writing and publishing this book. Additionally, he's about to become a first-time Dad in just a matter of days with his wife Dr. Carleigh Golightly.    If you would like to purchase his book, you can do so on Amazon or visit his website at www.TheWarriorJournal.com.

Complexity Series. Five Cs of History. Episode #1 of 4. The dominant narrative- and the story that many of you expect to hear today- is that fatness used to be less stigmatized; that plump women were beautiful and plump men regarded as wealthy and important but that somewhere along the way, thinness became associated with beauty and fatness became medicalized as obesity and stigmatized as disgusting, leading to today's skinny-loving, fat-phobic culture. There are, of course, elements of truth to this story but… it's also way more COMPLEX than this. This week for our Complexity series, we're covering the complex history of fatness in the premodern West. Find transcripts and show notes here: www.digpodcast.org Learn more about your ad choices.

This goal cannot be achieved by the conservative's usual ham-fisted methods of calling for more punishment of men, making endless excuses for women, and putting everyone to sleep with moral exhortation about the sacredness of marriage. Instead, we must consider the actual incentives now operating upon men and women, as economists long ago learned to do, and focus our efforts on altering them in ways conducive to family formation.

This time on the Modern West…to make sure the Plains Indian Wars don't flare up again, the U.S. army starts taking hostages…the tribes' children. If they ran away, where would they go? They're 1000s of miles away from home. It was strategic on their part. It really isolated them. Killing the Indian Inside…it's part four of our series Mending the Hoop.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 113 Queer Theory is the doctrine of a cult. Strange as this gender ideology may seem, perverse as it is, it can only be understood in terms of the esoteric cult religious structures called Gnosticism and Hermeticism. That is, Queer Theory is Queer Gnosticism, and the Queer Gnostic cult is consuming our society. Building upon his recent discussion of Gnosticism in the Modern West (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/02/gnosticism-in-the-modern-west), host James Lindsay exposes Queer Theory for what it actually is in this groundbreaking episode of the New Discourses Podcast. This discussion will not only lay Queer Theory bare for the social-spiritual cult belief system that it is, but it will also make sense of the destructive phenomena like sexual graphic novels in our school libraries, Drag Queen Story Hour, and the relentless push for queer and trans everything into all aspects of our culture. Join him to understand our danger.

I had Duke Beardsley on today. He's something else. I just love his energy. When that man walks into a room, he has a presence, and if you look at his art - it's the same thing. These big, beautiful works with a modern sensibility, cowboys, and Western life. He's got his own voice, which again, is what I love in an artist and what I look for in my own artists that I represent.Duke has managed to find a lane that no one else has and he's been doing it for quite a while now. He's academically trained at the L.A. Art Center and he has this unique background of being a fifth-generation Coloradan who grew up part of the time in Denver, but the other part he's on a family ranch riding a horse, doing the things that you do if you have a ranch. So Duke is the product of this mix of experiences growing up and living the life of a Westerner. He's found a unique voice and I'm a big fan. This was a really fun podcast. Duke Beardsley on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 235.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 108 Marxism is not a philosophy. Neither are its derivatives, like "Wokeness" (Woke Marxism). These are a strain within a broader category of cult religious movements that pose as economics, sociology, and politics. The broad name for these Esoteric cult religions is "Gnosticism," but that's a confusing label for a number of reasons. The first of these reasons is that "gnosticism" as a term, either as a descriptive or proper noun, means several things at once, which requires clarification. Another is that as economic, social, and political movements, they don't look at all like the pre-modern spiritualist and mystical movements that go by those names. In this groundbreaking episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay clarifies the term "gnosticism" and unmasks what amounts to a huge "New Age" movement in the Middle Ages as the source of a thread of Gnostic cult belief that has shaped every facet of the West for at least the last three hundred years. He also explains how the shift from the Middle Ages to the Modern period included a shift in the Gnostic project, out of overt spiritualism and into exactly those society-building realms of economics, sociology, and politics. Join him to gain a completely new understanding of these dangerous movements and how they're relevant to our lives today.

For all you Modern West fans who love our last season about ranching and the cowboy mythos in the American West, have we got a treat for you. We're going to share an episode from our good pals at the podcast Reframing Rural. It's now in the middle of its third season “Groundwork,” and they've been sharing stories about host Megan Torgerson's family farm as well as the widening wealth gap in Montana…think towns like Bozeman and Missoula. This episode we're going to hear about Jeanie Alderson, a fourth-generation Montana rancher and the co-owner of Omega Beef. In the '70s, Jeanie's parents were among the rural organizers to form the Northern Plains Resource Council. Today, Jeanie continues the council's work standing up for family ranches by fighting against the "Big Four" meatpacking monopoly that's dictating prices and forcing some ranchers out of business.

This time on The Modern West, we join an 1896 hunting expedition to America's first national park. The journey reveals cracks in our concepts of Yellowstone, a place entangled with violence toward the Indigenous people who long took care of the region.

I had Kevin Chupik on the podcast today and wow, what an interesting guy. I love this podcast on so many levels because, you know, he's had this really tough road to get where he is and not just from a point of just trying to make it as an artist. It's always a hard road. But Kevin was a very active, athletic individual who was doing guided trips, you know, teaching biking and mountain biking and really spending lots of time in the back woods. Then he had a major accident and crushed his T-12, which caused him to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He didn't let that stop him. In fact, he used it as a motivator to really become who he is today. So when you hear something like that, you've got to just go, wow, that's the kind of person I want to meet.And his paintings are wonderful. I had no idea about his accident until actually last night. You know, I found his work on Instagram and was so impressed with his concept of how he wants to show the West. So I invited him to be part of my Rodeo de Tucson show, which is coming up on February 3rd, 2023.It was wonderful to get to spend an hour with Kevin. I think he is a unique, gifted individual who will see a lot more of in the future. Kevin Chupik on Art Dealer Diaries episode 218.

During his lifetime, Wallace Stegner (1909-1993) became famous for his prizewinning fiction and autobiographical works; his dedication to environmental causes; and his initiation of the creative writing program at Stanford University that bears his name. His most celebrated works, including Angle of Repose, The Spectator Bird, and Crossing to Safety are still much-loved and widely read - even as accusations have emerged that in at least one instance, Stegner appropriated and plagiarized the work of another writer. In this episode, Jacke talks to Melodie Edwards, independent bookstore owner and host of the Peabody-nominated, Murrow-winning podcast The Modern West (produced by Wyoming Public Radio and PRX) about the "dean of American western writing" and his complicated legacy.
