Some producers make beats. Pete Rock built a blueprint. On this episode of Unglossy, Bun B, Jeffrey Sledge, and Tom Frank sit down with the legendary producer, DJ, and MC for a wide-ranging conversation that runs from his Mount Vernon roots all the way to the present moment. Pete takes us back to coming up under Heavy D, spinning on WBLS next to Marley Marl at 13 years old, and the basement studio where Biggie, Run DMC, Nas, and half of hip hop passed through. He breaks down the stories behind the classics: how "T.R.O.Y." came out of real grief and taught him to treat music like medicine, how Jam Master Jay tapped out the drums on "Down with the King," and how he ended up singing the hook on "The World Is Yours." Plus the new De La Soul album, his love of comics, and why, after 53 years without a chip, these Knicks have him out of his head in the best way. It is a masterclass, a memory lap, and a love letter to New York, all in one. Follow us on Instagram @UnglossyPod to join the conversation, and get early access plus live recordings and more at Merrick Studios+. Unglossy is produced and distributed by Merrick Studios, where culture takes the mic.

Send us Fan MailJoe DeLoss is best known as the founder of Hot Chicken Takeover, one of Columbus's most recognizable restaurant stories. But this conversation is not really about chicken.Joe talks with Keri about the rise of Hot Chicken Takeover, the ego that came with it, the people impacted by his leadership, and the personal reckoning that followed. He is honest about marriage, fatherhood, masculinity, ambition, and the uncomfortable reality that success does not automatically make you whole.Now, Joe lives in Mount Vernon and is building Baker Road, a hospitality and retreat concept rooted in nature, adventure, discomfort, and real human connection. Think less corporate retreat, more walking into the woods and remembering you are still a person.This conversation moves from Columbus entrepreneurship to 100-mile runs, natural burials, leadership, vultures, marriage, and what the next chapter of Joe's work looks like.At its heart, this conversation is about what happens when success forces you to face yourself. Joe's story is a reminder that growth isn't always glamorous. Sometimes, the real work begins after the big win, when you have to decide who you want to become next.

Big Trump Immigration Bill Funded. Remembering D-Day. As Hegseth Contaminates That Too. Iran and Israel Back at It. Achilles Strong in Idaho. 7'4 Mayor Greg Ostertag (I). The Bears are Leaving Chicago?!?  New York City is buzzing. For the first time since 1999, the NBA finals are back at Madison Square Garden, and Fat Joe says it's the greatest unification the city has seen since 9/11. Then Trump announced he's coming — and everything he touches suffers. No sitting president has ever crashed an NBA finals game, for good reason: the security footprint swallows the event, the watch parties outside the Garden get shut down, and the working-class fans who can't afford an $8,000 nosebleed seat get pushed out of their own city's celebration. Paul Rieckhoff opens Manosphere Monday solo with a no-BS breakdown of why this is the new normal — UFC at the White House, the World Cup, the 2028 Olympics — and why the last island of American culture just got contaminated. From there, the briefing widens: Pete Hegseth turning the 82nd anniversary of D-Day into an anti-immigration grievance speech, Kristen Welker revealing Trump for who he is on Meet the Press, the Iran-Israel ceasefire that isn't a ceasefire, a direct Iranian missile hit on the main US air command center in Qatar that the government still won't talk about, $70 billion in new ICE funding rolling toward the House, and the independent veteran candidates — Achilles, Bodnar, Osborn — quietly running the most underreported political story in America. Plus a closing note on Greg Ostertag, the seven-foot NBA legend who just won a mayor's race in Mount Vernon, Texas — as an independent. Joy is resistance. So is vigilance. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

The story of the founding of the United States didn't end on July 4, 1776 — it remains a work in progress (with plenty of setbacks, too). Indeed, a question people pondered at the time remains important today: What does it mean to be a republican citizen?

For the past decade or so, there has been one white whale (or rather a pod of white whales) among raw denim fanatics, whose course has been followed with great interest since they left their home in North Carolina to move to Louisiana and now they have relocated again to Georgia.I am of course referring to the Draper X-3 shuttle looms, the forebearers of American selvedge denim from the late great Cone Mills White Oak plant in Greensboro. I got to speak with Bill Rogers, the president and CEO of their new home at Mount Vernon Mills, where the mills are again operational and expected to ship their first rolls of selvedge denim in just a matter of weeks.We discussed the history of American milling, why it's still important to make fabric here, and why Mount Vernon has what it takes to keep these looms running well into the future. So keep listening to hear about the next chapter of American selvedge denim.

In this episode of Diplomatic Immunity, host Kelly McFarland sits down with presidential historian Lindsay Chervinsky, executive director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon, to explore one of the most consequential partnerships in American foreign policy history: James Monroe and his Secretary of State, John Quincy Adams.   They dig into the origins of the Monroe Doctrine, why Adams famously turned down a British alliance offer, and what it actually meant to declare the Western Hemisphere off-limits to European imperial expansion in 1823. From the Adams-Onís Treaty to the Greek War of Independence, this conversation reveals just how much of early American foreign policy was shaped by Adams' extraordinary global experience — and why his vision remains remarkably relevant today.   Topics covered: The Monroe-Adams partnership and the post-War of 1812 landscape The Adams-Onís Treaty and the acquisition of Florida The origins and three components of the Monroe Doctrine Why did Adams reject the British alliance offer Adams' famous July 4th address: "America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy" John Quincy Adams' presidency and his forward-thinking approach to Latin American alliances Why the Monroe Doctrine keeps coming back — and why context matters   Produced by Freddie Mallinson and Mislav Majcan. Recorded on 20 April, 2026.   Diplomatic Immunity, a podcast from the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy at Georgetown University, brings you frank and candid conversations with experts on the issues facing diplomats and national security decision-makers around the world.

This week's episode hits on all the big stories in American soccer. Thomas Pinzone from The Blazing Musket podcast sits in as co-host to help Jason cover the game from post to post. We start with Matt Crocker's sudden departure as sporting director from US Soccer. Did Crocker make any headway on the big problems facing the game in the US? How will we judge his tenure? Then Jason and Thomas discuss Javier Mascherano quitting on Inter Miami seven games into a title defense season. Was there drama behind the scences? MLS went two-and-two in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup against Mexican opposition. The guys get into the problems MLS faces in the CCC and the wide issues with a tournament that only two leagues can win. There's round-up of the US Open Cup action from this week with a special note for the cupsets sprung by lower division teams and some love for the SOCCER HERITAGE moments like the plethora of lines on the surface in Mount Vernon, NY for Westchester SC's match against NYCFC. Finally, Jason springs on Thomas the story of the Fernando Mendoza photo shoot that has an eerie similarity to a photo shoot featuring the 2002 USMNT.

William "Billy" Lee is the man behind George Washington, and his story reveals a side of the American founding that history too often ignores. This episode uncovers how Lee's life helps explain Washington's greatest contradiction and why oversimplifying the Founding Era distorts the truth. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano explores the complex relationship between George Washington and William "Billy" Lee. While Washington led a revolution for liberty, Lee stood beside him through the Revolutionary War, Valley Forge, and the early years of the new republic. Their story opens a deeper look into Washington's evolving views on slavery and the broader tensions at the heart of America's founding. What You'll Learn: The untold story of William "Billy" Lee and his indispensable role beside George Washington  How the American Revolution and Washington's correspondence helped shape his evolving view of slavery  The central contradiction between America's fight for liberty and the institution of slavery  Why reducing the Founding Era to simple slogans distorts the truth of history  What Washington's final will reveals about his legacy, Lee's freedom, and the American story

On America at Night with McGraw Milhaven, Scott MacFarlane, chief Washington correspondent and anchor for MeidasTouch, joined the program to discuss the latest media headlines and the high-profile CBS exit, and what it means for the changing landscape of political journalism in Washington. Next, Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Chief Strategist at QI Research, analyzed growing concerns around artificial intelligence and financial markets, following warnings tied to an Anthropic AI model scare that prompted Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to raise alarms with major bank CEOs. Finally, Judd Isbell, President of the Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail, joined the show for the national parks segment to discuss the history and significance of the Mount Vernon Trail, a scenic route along the Potomac River that connects George Washington's Mount Vernon estate with Washington, D.C., and remains one of the region's most popular outdoor recreation destinations.

Jamie is an Associate Professor of American religions and material culture at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. She earned her PhD from Duke University. Her book "Protestant Relics in Early America" examines relic veneration, corpse inspection, and the art of mourning in the early United States. She also studies Bible and relic practices in the American Civil War Era. Jamie is a past fellow at The George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon; The Library Company of Philadelphia; Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library; the Filson Historical Society; and the New England Regional Fellowship Consortium.​​In this conversation, I talk with Jamie about the role of Protestant relics and patriotic symbols and the ways Bibles became contested objects during the Civil War. Jamie also reflects on how secularism and evangelicalism have influenced the material expression of Christianity, and how art continues to function as a site for spiritual experience today. Together, we consider the tensions in modern American Christianity, where material and intellectual understandings of faith often coexist in paradoxical ways.

Ahh, yes - the old debate about how leadership and a title can be disconnected. We couldn't think of a better group of people to talk to about this than some rising stars in the profession. We sought out people who are recognized leaders in their NACAC affiliates or on their campus to talk through the challenges, opportunities, and pathways to leadership - without the title.Joining us as our first Practitioner Guest is Gabby McCoy, Admission Representative at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa.Our second Practitioner Guest is Ryan Brinkman, Assistant Director and Regional Recruitment Coordinator at Saint Mary's College of California in Moraga, California.

C'est un petit paradoxe historique qui traverse l'Atlantique : la clé de la Bastille, symbole de la Révolution française, ne se trouve pas en France… mais aux États-Unis. Et plus précisément à Mount Vernon, l'ancienne résidence de George Washington.Pour comprendre, il faut revenir à l'été 1789. Le 14 juillet, les révolutionnaires parisiens prennent la Bastille, une forteresse-prison devenue le symbole de l'arbitraire royal. Très vite, cet événement acquiert une portée immense, en France comme à l'étranger. Aux yeux de nombreux observateurs, c'est le début d'une lutte universelle pour la liberté.Parmi les figures clés de cette période, on trouve Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette. Héros de la guerre d'indépendance américaine, il entretient des liens étroits avec les États-Unis et notamment avec George Washington, qu'il considère comme un mentor.Après la prise de la Bastille, La Fayette est nommé commandant de la Garde nationale. Il récupère alors une des clés de la forteresse — un objet hautement symbolique. Et plutôt que de la conserver en France, il prend une décision forte : en 1790, il l'envoie à George Washington.Ce geste n'a rien d'anodin. La Fayette veut faire de cette clé un symbole d'amitié et de continuité entre les deux révolutions. Pour lui, la Révolution française s'inscrit dans le sillage de la Révolution américaine. Offrir la clé de la Bastille, c'est comme dire : “Ce combat pour la liberté que vous avez commencé, nous le poursuivons.”Washington accepte ce cadeau avec enthousiasme et le fait exposer à Mount Vernon, où elle se trouve encore aujourd'hui.Mais ce qui rend l'histoire encore plus intéressante, c'est la portée symbolique de cet objet. La Bastille elle-même a été détruite peu après sa prise. Il n'en reste presque rien. La clé, en revanche, a traversé les siècles et les continents. Elle est devenue une sorte de relique révolutionnaire, un témoin matériel d'un événement fondateur.Aujourd'hui, voir cette clé aux États-Unis peut surprendre. Mais en réalité, cela raconte une histoire plus large : celle d'un moment où deux nations, séparées par un océan, partageaient un même idéal politique.En résumé, si la clé de la Bastille est à des milliers de kilomètres de Paris, ce n'est pas un hasard ni un oubli. C'est un geste délibéré, chargé de sens, qui transforme un simple objet en symbole durable de liberté… et d'amitié entre deux révolutions. Hébergé par Acast.

Sean Patrick Brennan, (D-House District 14)State Representative Sean Patrick Brennan has dedicated his life to public service. He firmly believes that his story informs his calling to public service and proves that the American Dream survives. After his father abandoned his family, his strong mother modeled the importance of family and the satisfaction of a hard day's work, making their trailer a home and utilizing public assistance only as needed. Sadly, his mother later suffered through an abusive relationship. As a result, Rep. Brennan was blessed when his loving grandmother took him in to help tend the family farm and focus on his studies.Rep. Brennan went on to attend the University of Dayton where he graduated summa cum laude earning a Bachelor's Degree in International Studies concentrating in Russian, Soviet, and East European Studies. While there, he fell in love with Deena Denk from Parma, where they currently reside and raised their two beautiful children. He has also completed graduate-level coursework in history, political science, economics, and pedagogy at several colleges and universities and has a Master's Degree in Secondary School Administration from Cleveland State University. Brennan's scholarly activities involve projects on the subjects of the U.S. Constitution, religious freedom in America, and various other American political and historical topics at George Washington's Mount Vernon, James Madison's Montpelier, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, the University of Oxford in England, George Washington University in Washington, D.C., the Bill of Rights Institute in Arlington, Virginia, and the Ashbrook Center at Ashland University.Rep. Brennan served as an award-winning public school teacher for three decades, as well as a Parma councilman for nearly two decades, including over a decade as the at-large elected President of Council and the Public Housing Board of Ohio's 7th largest city. He is active in civic, professional, and charitable organizations, which include founder and board member of the Andrew Boyko Scholarship Foundation, St. Charles Borromeo Parish lector and adult server, Friends of Parma Libraries life member, founder of the Parma Peanut Butter Drive benefitting All Faiths Pantry, founder and past adviser of the Parma Youth Commission, advisory board member of Big Creek Connects, member of West Creek Conservancy, Parma Historical Society, the City Club of Cleveland, German Central Foundation, National Education Association, Ohio Education Association, and Northeast Ohio Education Association.An avid runner and advocate of healthy living, Rep. Brennan has completed over 100 full marathons, as well as countless other smaller running events. His love of running led to his creation of the annual Parma Run-Walk for Pierogies, which has raised tens of thousands of dollars for local charities. Among other projects, his charitable work led to the creation of the script Parma sign which was subsequently donated to the City of Parma and adorns Anthony Zielinski Park and raising thousands of dollars to assist residents whose incomes were negatively impacted by the pandemic.Rep. Brennan was nominated Ohio Teacher of the Year, selected for the Parma Senior Veterans Appreciation Award, “Citizen of the Year” by the Friends of Parma Libraries, “Friend of PEA” by the Parma Education Association, “Conservationist of the Year” by the Cuyahoga Soil and Water Conservation District, “Parma Democrat of the Year” by the Parma Democratic Party, “Teacher of the Year” by the Cleveland American Middle Eastern Association (C.A.M.E.O.), and the “Good Partner Award” by Goodwill Industries.Rep. Brennan joined the Ohio House of Representatives in 2023 and is now serving his second term. He is proud of his perfect session attendance, 96% bipartisan voting record, being named the “Most Bipartisan Legislator,” sponsoring more bills than any other legislator in the Ohio General Assembly, and passing 5 bills in his first term. Most of all he is committed to providing excellent constituent services to the residents who contact his office. He cares deeply for the people of the great state of Ohio and works doggedly to improve the quality of life for all of those who reside in the Buckeye State. He is deeply honored to serve the residents of Ohio's 14th House District which includes, Parma, Parma Heights, and Cleveland Wards 12, 13, and 14, which encompass the Old Brooklyn, South Hills, Brooklyn Centre, and Clark-Fulton neighborhoods. Connect with OEA:Email educationmatters@ohea.org with your feedback or ideas for future Public Education Matters topicsLike OEA on FacebookFollow OEA on TwitterFollow OEA on InstagramGet the latest news and statements from OEA hereLearn more about

Ona Judge defied one of the most revered historical figures in America in order to escape the institution of slavery. Though she spent the rest of her life as a fugitive, she managed to direct her own existence on her own terms; answering to no one, free at last.

THE RELUCTANT PRESIDENT'S JOURNEY TO NEW YORK Colleague Nathaniel Philbrick. Washingtontravels from Mount Vernon to New York for his inauguration in April 1789, plagued by inner turmoil and a sense of impending doom. Philbrick describes the President as feeling like a "condemned man," fearing the adulation of the crowds would eventually turn against him as he faced the reality of governing.
