Send us a textI'm honored to welcome Dr. Edward J. Larson to this episode of the podcast. Dr. Larson is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion, a landmark work that reexamines the 1925 Scopes “Monkey” Trial with fresh insight and scholarly depth.In our conversation, Dr. Larson challenges the familiar narrative popularized by Inherit the Wind, revealing the Scopes Trial as far more than a simple clash between science and religion. It was, in fact, a complex cultural moment shaped by political ambition, regional identity, national media, and the anxieties of a rapidly modernizing society.We explore key figures—Clarence Darrow, William Jennings Bryan, and John Scopes—and their roles in this iconic legal battle. Dr. Larson offers fascinating context around Bryan's progressive credentials, his anti-evolution stance, and his public persona as a speaker and political leader. We also discuss the broader implications of the trial for American legal and educational systems, and how its legacy continues to inform today's debates over religion in public life, science education, and Christian nationalism.Dr. Larson reflects on his personal and academic journey, from his early years to his study from college, to grad school, to law school, and his doctoral dissertation on the history of science. He shares what inspired his deep investigation into the Scopes Trial—ultimately culminating in the Pulitzer Prize in 1998. This episode is both thought-provoking and timely. I invite you to join me for a meaningful conversation that sheds new light on a pivotal moment in American history.

Between the World Wars, ideas about meaning, truth, and the ethics of persuasion informed newly articulated principles for combining word and image. The young field of graphic design developed quickly during this period, and photography played a central role as a visual language of modern life. The concept Typophoto was coined by Bauhaus artist László Moholy-Nagy and played a foundational role in the modernist graphic design movement known as the New Typography. Here, Jessica D. Brier, author of Typophoto: New Typography and the Reinvention of Photography, joins Ellen Lupton in conversation about this fascinating period in design history.Jessica D. Brier is curator of photography at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College. She is author of Typophoto: New Typography and the Reinvention of Photography, editor of On the Grid: Ways of Seeing in Print and coeditor of Making a Life in Photography: Rollie McKenna.Ellen Lupton is a graphic designer, writer, and curator who has authored many books about design, including Thinking with Type and Extra Bold, and teaches design theory at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.REFERENCES:Painting, Photography, Film / László Moholy-NagyJan TschicholdWalter BenjaminEl LissitzkyNever Use Futura / Douglas ThomasPaul RennerMeisterschule für Deutschlands BuchdruckerBauhausPraise for the book:“A novel interplay between text and image, Typophoto fused—as Jessica D.

David MacMillan is a manager in the City of Toronto's Environment, Climate and Forestry division. He and his team are focused on planning for low-carbon development and energy systems, which includes implementing the Toronto Green Standard, which aims for net-zero new buildings by 2028, and renewable energy programs such as SolarTO and Wastewater Energy.  Cameron Leitch is the director of solutions and innovations at Enwave Energy Corporation, which oversees the largest deep lake water cooling (DLWC) project in the world. Pulling near-freezing water from the depths of Lake Ontario, this massive infrastructure system provides alternative cooling to more than 100 buildings in downtown Toronto, including arenas, condos, offices, data centres and hospitals — a clean energy initiative that has been recognized by the United Nations. Evelyn Allen is the co-founder of Evercloak, a Waterloo-based company that has developed graphene oxide membranes that helps to dehumidify air before it reaches AC and HVAC units, significantly reducing the energy and refrigerants needed to cool a space. The company is currently part of the Mission from MaRS: Better Buildings Adoption Accelerator program. Daniel A. Barber is a professor of architecture and the environment at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. Barber's research and work focuses on how changing temperatures have altered our built environment, and how architects can help adapt to the climate crisis. At architecture symposium Biennale Venice, his interactive installation, “Terms and Conditions,” allowed participants to experience the stifling effects of the waste heat that air conditioning units produce. Further reading: Air conditioning poses a climate conundrumToronto company using lake water to cool buildings expands systemToronto is home to the world's largest lake-powered cooling system.

What exactly is #ChristianZionism, and whatever happened to the New Jerusalem that is the Church of Jesus Christ? Plus, #Israel Fatigue kicks into high gear as #DonaldTrump blasts Bibi and the Iranian government. #MAGA leaders call for a regime change, but not necessarily the one you have in mind. Steve Bannon said WHAT?! More good news: #Catholic revival is rising in small towns all across America, and you'll never guess which Mass is at the heart of it all. And, finally, Catholics keep the Faith in a #HolyLand at war. Yes, their community is shrinking, but they are hanging on -- just like the #Cristeros in Mexico, who in the face of a Masonic regime, laid down their lives for the #LatinMass and the #TraditionalFaith of their fathers.

What if the key to designing better cities wasn't just in concrete, code, or cost, but in understanding how our brains actually work?In this episode, I talk with Ann Sussman and Kelsey Bradley of the Human Architecture and Planning Institute (HAPI) about a subject that's as profound as it is underdiscussed: how our unconscious biology reacts to the built environment – and how that should change everything about how we design.Ann, architect and author of Cognitive Architecture  and Kelsey, founder of Design Cause Inc., now Executive Director at HAPI, walk us through the neuroscience of placemaking. We talk eye tracking. Skin conductivity. Heart rate variability. And how our “Stone Age brains” are still calibrated for the Savannah, even when we're stuck in a strip mall.This episode will validate what many of us feel but can't quite explain why some places energize us, and others quietly drain us.

Gail Pittaway reviews Towards Modernism: The Walter Cook Collection at Te Papa by Justine Olsen published by Te Papa Press.

When you hear about architect Mies van der Rohe and his famous Farnsworth House in Plano Illinois, little is said of the client.  Today you'll learn the real story of Dr. Edith Farnsworth from author Nora Wendl, we talk with Todd Gannon about architect Frank Israel, plus authors Kevin Murphy and Mary Anne Hunting on women architects in the early days of Modernism. Later on, tacos with musical guest Gabrielle Stravelli. 

Robert Beattie was many things: an architect, a designer of iconic public buildings on Long Island, and a decorated World War II veteran. But most importantly, he was the father of today's guest, Richard Beattie. So we're celebrating Father's Day by celebrating the life and work of Robert Beattie. As an architect, Beattie's specialty was mid-century modern architecture. Working with clean lines, natural light, and an appreciation of the surrounding landscape, he designed many iconic buildings in our area. If you live in the town of Islip, you'll know his MacArthur Airport terminal, the core buildings of Suffolk County Community College's Ammerman Campus, and St. Lawrence Church in Sayville. Richard takes us on a tour of his father's buildings and details his life. Robert was part of the Greatest Generation, earning a Silver Star as an Alamo Scout in the Philippines. He got his start in architecture with the firm Shreve, Lamb & Harmon in New York City. Robert then founded his own firm, Dobecki & Beattie, and embarked on a storied career on Long Island. We discuss the changing architectural landscape of Long Island in the 1960s, the Beattie family's connections to Oakdale, and Robert's devotion to being a father and an architect.

John Arnold built his fortune in energy trading by surrounding himself with smart people, maintaining emotional detachment, sensing market imbalances through first-principles analysis, and focusing with laser intensity on a single niche until he dominated it completely. Now he's applying that same analytical rigor to philanthropy, where he's discovered that changing human behavior for the long term proves far more challenging than predicting natural gas prices, and that the academic research meant to guide social policy is often riddled with perverse incentives and poor methodology. Tyler and John discuss his shift from trading to philanthropy and more, including the specific traits that separate great traders from good ones, the tradeoffs of following an "inch wide, mile deep" trading philosophy, why he attended Vanderbilt, the talent culture at Enron, the growth in solar, the problem with Mexico's energy system, where Canada's energy exports will go, the hurdles to next-gen nuclear, how to fix America's tripartite energy grid, how we'll power new data centers, what's best about living in Houston, his approach to collecting art, why trading's easier than philanthropy, how he'd fix tax the US tax code and primary system, and what Arnold Ventures is focusing on next.

In this conversation, Paul Weaver interviews John West about his journey from academia to the Discovery Institute, discussing the concept of 'Stockholm Syndrome Christianity' and its implications for modern Christian leaders and institutions. West critiques the shift in evangelical institutions away from biblical inerrancy and highlights the historical context of modernism and fundamentalism. He emphasizes the need for a robust defense of biblical truth and the dangers of theological liberalism, particularly in light of contemporary figures like Andy Stanley and Mike Licona.-John West shares his journey from Seattle Pacific University to the Discovery Institute.-The concept of Stockholm Syndrome Christianity explains how Christians can align with secular culture.-Many evangelical institutions are drifting away from biblical truth.-Historical context shows that the theological compromise is not new.-The need for genuine Christian higher education is crucial for future generations.-Biblical authority is central to the health of evangelicalism.-Critiques of contemporary leaders like Andy Stanley and Mike Licona highlight issues with biblical authority.-Mike Licona's views on "flexible inerrancy" raise major concerns. -The importance of calling out theological liberalism in evangelical circles.-A lack of pushback against liberal theology is troubling for the future of the church.00:00 Introduction01:55 Dr. West's Journey and Institutional Changes04:55 Understanding Stockholm Syndrome Christianity10:06 Historical Context of Modernism and Fundamentalism15:10 Symptoms of Stockholm Syndrome Christianity19:57 Critique of Contemporary Christian Leader - Andy Stanley23:39 Critique of Christian Scholar - Mike Licona 29:50 The Future of Evangelical Institutions

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - John 16:29-33 - The disciples said to Jesus, "Now You are talking plainly, and not in any figure of speech. Now we realize that You know everything and that You do not need to have anyone question You. Because of this we believe that You came from God." Jesus answered them, "Do you believe now? Behold, the hour is coming and has arrived when each of you will be scattered to his own home and you will leave Me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. I have told you this so that you might have peace in Me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world." Memorial of Saints Marcellinus and Peter, Martyrs Saints Marcellinus and Peter, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2) The architect who fought modernism, and inspired a Sacred Architecture revival: One does not necessarily expect to hear the language of warfare coming from the mouth of Duncan Stroik while discussing sacred architecture.

In light of recent conversations about the crisis of masculinity, let's revisit Dr. Andy Oler's book Old-Fashioned Modernism: Rural Masculinity and Midwestern Literature. I sat down with Dr. Oler to discuss the persistent anxiety about masculinity, the role of regional literature in American modernism, and the need for an expansive definition of the Midwest. We also talked about literary representation of futuristic equipment such as the cabbage transplanter. And for our scholar friends, Dr. Oler offers tips on how to secure texts that are not available in libraries or archives.  Andy Oler is a professor in the Department of Humanities and Communication at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach.  Learn more about your ad choices.

From poolside at Modernism Week 2025, we'll talk with Colin Flavin, Halsey Smith, and Tim Techler on the architecture of Walter Gropius in Massachusetts and William Krisel in Palm Springs. Back in the studio, San Diego's top Modernist realtor and ardent preservationist Keith York has a new book on Craig Ellwood -- and Alexandra Bregman hunts for a Philip Johnson house. UPDATE: A previous version of this episode gave the incorrect location for Tim Techler's practice. He is based in Newton MA. 

How does a personal passion project become the world's largest archive for modernist residential design?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee sits down with George Smart, founder and CEO of USModernist, to explore how a personal interest blossomed into a vital national resource for architecture enthusiasts and professionals alike. George's journey takes us from a late-night internet search inspired by his own house hunt to leading a nonprofit that documents, preserves, and promotes modernist homes across America—and along the way, he offers insights into the importance of architectural heritage and community building. George opens up about the origins of US Modernist, starting 18 years ago as a local website cataloging houses in North Carolina's Triangle area after rediscovering childhood memories linked to his architect father. He details the organization's organic growth to national prominence and the pivotal moment a realtor's call about magazines in a wet basement led to the creation of a massive, freely accessible digital library of over 5 million pages. George discusses US Modernist's unique approach of archiving by architect, the critical role documentation plays in saving homes often dismissed as "that weird house down the street," and shares compelling stories of preservation successes, including moving an entire house to prevent its demolition. He and Evelyn discuss the surprising makeup of the modernist fan base (mostly non-architects!), the challenges realtors face with these unique properties, and how architects can better connect with potential clients by engaging with the communities that celebrate this architectural style. "The vibe in these homes is wonderful for living. It's more relaxed, it's more open, with light and air. The improvements in glass and steel and insulation and technology have made these great houses from the 50s even better now when they're remodeled." - George Smart The episode concludes with George's advice for architects looking to connect with this passionate audience and his thoughts on the future stewardship of USModernist.Guest:George Smart, HAIA, is the Founder and CEO of USModernist, the world's largest nonprofit archive dedicated to documenting, preserving, and promoting modernist residential design. What started as a personal project cataloging local houses has grown into a major national resource under his leadership. He is also the host of the popular US Modernist Radio podcast. Driven by a lifelong passion for modernism, partly inspired by his architect father, George has applied his background in strategic planning to build a dedicated community and extensive digital archive ensuring these unique homes are recognized and saved. He himself built and lives in a modernist home. Is This Episode for You?

From poolside at the swanky USModernist compound in Palm Springs during Modernism Week 2025, we will meet Steve Treinen, with a new book on the Indian Canyons area in Palm Springs, plus Palm Springs architect James Cioffi, who sheds light on a pervasive myth.  Back in the studio, we'll hear from author Helen Thompson on Aspen plus lovely tunes from musical guest Champian Fulton. 

  We're celebrating May, Historic Preservation Month, with an episode on the Modern houses of the 1950s and 1960s.    Could you live in a glass house? New Canaan, Connecticut's Mid-Century Modern homes designed after the Second War are world famous. In addition to Philip Johnson's Glass House, now a museum, New Canaan has homes designed by Marcel Breuer, Eliot Noyes, Frank Lloyd Wright and Edward Durell Stone. Each one is a part of architectural history and is a masterwork of the era's most talented architects. But by the 1990s, people began to demolish these relatively small homes sited on large lots. People in New Canaan  began to band together to save these artworks-”machines for living”.  Towns across Connecticut have at least one or two good Mid-Century Modern homes worth saving and celebrating.    Host Mary Donohue discusses what a homeowners and community members can do to help save these modern homes. Her guests are Gwen North Reiss, historian and author of New Canaan Modern: A Preservation History published by the New Canaan Museum and Historical Society in 2024 and Mary Dunne, Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer for the Dept of Economic and Community Development and homeowner of an architect-designed,  Mid-Century Modern home.     For more information on New Canaan's Modern houses, order your copy of Gwen North Reiss's book New Canaan Modern: A Preservation History from the New Canaan Historical Society.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Author Jim Valois takes us on a journey through the dangerous waters of modernism – not the technological or cultural kind, but the theological heresy that threatens to undermine Catholic teaching at its core.For young people seeking solid ground in a world of shifting values, this confusion can be particularly devastating.The conversation opens with Jim's personal story of reverting to Catholicism after years in evangelicalism. His experience illuminates how poor teaching and modernist influences can drive faithful Catholics away from the Church, only to have them return when they encounter the fullness of truth preserved in authentic Catholic tradition.Pope St. Pius X recognized this danger over a century ago, calling modernism "the synthesis of all heresies" and implementing reforms to combat its spread."Truth is not a something, truth is a somebody – Jesus Christ." By returning to Scripture, the Catechism, and the Church's living tradition, believers can find their way through the fog of modernism to the clarity and peace that only unchanging truth can provide.Jim's Article "Defeating Modernism" @ the Catholic ExchangeOur Ladies Prophecies By Jim ValiosDownload the Claymore Battle Plan for Men! Follow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalOn Rumble: JohnPaulIIRCIf you're interested in being a sponsor of the Become Who You Are Podcast, please email us at Info@JP2Renew.org Support the show

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Luke 24:35-48 - The disciples of Jesus recounted what had taken place along the way, and how they had come to recognize Him in the breaking of bread. While they were still speaking about this, He stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you." But they were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost. Then He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts? Look at My Hands and My Feet, that it is I myself. Touch Me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have." And as He said this, He showed them His Hands and His Feet. While they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed, He asked them, "Have you anything here to eat?" They gave Him a piece of baked fish; He took it and ate it in front of them. He said to them, "These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about Me in the law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled." Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. And He said to them, "Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in His Name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things." 2, 3, 4) Father Gerald Murray answers questions about current events going on in the Church today
