Return of the King: The Rebirth of Muhammad Ali and the Rise of Atlanta (U Nebraska Press, 2025) tells the story of Muhammad Ali's return to the ring in 1970, after a more than three-year suspension for refusing his draft notice as a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War. With Ali's career still in doubt, he found new support in shifting public opinion about the war and in Atlanta, a city still governed by white supremacy, but a white supremacy decidedly different from that of its neighbor cities in the Deep South.  Atlanta had been courting and landing professional sports teams in football, basketball, and baseball since the end of 1968. An influential state politician, Leroy Johnson, Georgia's first Black state senator since Reconstruction, was determined to help Ali return after his exile. The state had no boxing commission to prevent Ali from fighting there, so Johnson made it his mission for Ali to make a comeback in Georgia. Ali's opponent would be Jerry Quarry, the top heavyweight contender and, more important, a white man who had spoken out against Ali's objection to the war.In Return of the King, Thomas Aiello examines the history of Muhammad Ali, Leroy Johnson, and the city of Atlanta, while highlighting an important fight of Ali's that changed the trajectory of his career. Although the fight between Ali and Quarry lasted only three rounds, those nine minutes changed boxing forever and were crucial to both the growth of Atlanta and the rebirth of Ali's boxing career. Craig Gill is a writer, researcher and historian based in Vancouver, BC. He is the author of Caddying on the Color Line, a history of African American golf caddies in the U.S. South.

Episode Description: “What would you say if you suddenly came face-to-face with your greatest hero?” That's the question that kicks off this unforgettable episode of The Sandy Show, where Sandy and Tricia dive deep into the thrill—and awkwardness—of celebrity encounters, the legends who shape our culture, and the moments that leave us speechless.This episode opens with Sandy's excitement over the new Muhammad Ali postage stamp, sparking a lively debate: Skinny Elvis or Fat Elvis? The conversation floats like a butterfly as Sandy shares a hilarious, regret-tinged story about missing his chance to meet Ali—only to hear how his friend JB casually greeted the champ at a Starbucks. “He just said, ‘How you doing, champ?' That was it. That's all he said.” The simplicity of the moment is both touching and relatable, leaving Sandy to wonder if he would have been able to say anything at all or just openly weep in awe.From there, the show pivots to the power of Hollywood franchises, revealing how Zoe Saldana dethroned Scarlett Johansson as the highest-grossing actor, thanks to the Avatar series. “The secret to being the top-grossing actors? Franchises and making crap—no, they're not crappy. They're all good. You just won't go see them!” laughs Sandy, as Tricia teases his “snooty” movie tastes.The episode doesn't shy away from the wild side of fame, either. The hosts recount Sean Penn's rebellious antics at the Golden Globes—smoking through the ceremony and pouring drinks with rockstar disregard. This leads to a string of personal stories: sharing an elevator with Sean Penn, a chance encounter with Maya Angelou in London, and the surreal feeling of being in the presence of greatness. “It's weird when you meet people… Maya Angelou, Sean Penn—a little bit different categories, obviously, but we were in the chips back then.”Memorable quotes and moments abound, from Sandy's self-deprecating humor about celebrity run-ins (“I froze… do something, do something, do something!”) to the playful banter about blockbuster movies and the legends who make them. This episode is a rollercoaster of nostalgia, laughter, and genuine wonder at the icons who inspire us—and the ordinary moments that make them human.Call to Action: If you've ever dreamed of meeting your idol or just love a good story, this episode is for you!

In this episode, Dr. Killeen reflects on a favorite Muhammad Ali quote: “It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe,” and why it matters so much in dentistry, leadership, and life. Big goals and “mountains” get our attention, but it's often the small, nagging issues we tolerate that quietly wear us down. Dr. Killeen talks about identifying those pebbles—habits, mindsets, or situations that drain energy—and why addressing them can make everything else feel lighter. A simple reminder that progress often starts with fixing the small stuff first.

Muhammad Ali is being commemorated on a new U.S. postage stamp, who would Mike put on a stamp if he had the chance? We asked him in today's edition of "did you hear this?". 

A legendary boxer is being honored with a long-awaited stamp. AP's Marcela Sanchez reports.

Today's episode is about the epic battle between Muhammad Ali and the US government over its attempt to draft him during the Vietnam war and what happened when that fight reached the US Supreme Court. What were Ali's grounds for claiming to be a conscientious objector? How did that argument cut across wider questions of race, religion and power? Why did the Supreme Court change its original decision against Ali to find unanimously in his favour? And who won and who lost as a result?

How do you change someone's mind without being manipulative? In a world where influence is a key leadership currency, the line between ethical persuasion and unethical manipulation can seem blurry. To navigate this complex territory, Andy Lopata is joined by an expert in the art of communication, Paul du Toit. Paul is a 27-year speaking veteran, Africa's first Certified speaking professional this century, and the author of three business books, including the timely "The Book of Persuasion." As an inductee into both the Southern African Speakers Hall of Fame and the Southern African Educators Hall of Fame, Paul brings decades of experience to the conversation. Together, Andy and Paul dissect the crucial difference between persuading someone for mutual benefit and coercing them for personal gain. Paul emphasises that true persuasion is an art that strengthens relationships by ensuring decisions are made with free will and are built on a foundation of trust. This conversation is a masterclass in the practical techniques of ethical influence. Discover why "engaged listening" is more powerful than active listening, how to ask questions that build rapport instead of feeling like an interrogation, and the four-step "Agree and Switch" method for overcoming resistance. Paul also shares powerful insights on the role of confidence, the impact of non-verbal cues in a virtual world, and what we can learn from charismatic figures. What we discussed: Persuasion vs. Manipulation: The critical distinction lies in intent and outcome. Persuasion aims to change minds while honouring free will and building long-term trust. Manipulation is coercive and often unethical, prioritising a short-term win over the relationship. The Power of "Engaged Listening": Go beyond simply hearing words. Engaged listening involves focusing on the person, understanding the context behind what they're saying, and making them feel truly heard, which is the foundation of any persuasive conversation. Asking Questions Strategically: The most effective persuasion comes from the information you gather. Learn how to ask for permission to ask questions, creating a dynamic where the other person willingly shares without feeling interrogated. Charisma: Charismatic figures like Steve Jobs, Oprah, and Muhammad Ali weren't just born with it. Their incredible ability to persuade was often forged by overcoming immense adversity, combined with excellent oratory skills and a laser-focused vision.

In Pakistan, the government has sold its national carrier, PIA, in an auction which was televised live. The airline sold for $482 million. Gideon Long speaks to Muhammad Ali, the privatisation adviser to Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. We hear from two countries at the sharp end of Donald Trump's tariffs over the past year - India, which is on 50% US export tariffs, and South Africa facing 30%. And in the UK there is a blue and smelly cheese called Stilton which many people traditionally eat at Christmas. In fact 40% of sales are in the six weeks before Christmas. But its makers are on a mission to change all that and make Stilton a year round nibble.

Send us a textFeeling hurried, lonely, or just tired of waiting for January to change everything? We lean into the truth that purpose rarely arrives with a calendar flip—it shows up when action becomes devotion. Drawing on Gandhi, MLK, Muhammad Ali, and Lao Tzu, we explore why the surest way to find yourself is to lose yourself in service, not in spectacle. This conversation moves from personal stories of letting go—especially the tender shift when children no longer need our guidance—to a broader vision of karma yoga and bhakti, where everyday acts become living prayers.We challenge the myth that more stuff or brighter displays will fill the ache. Instead, we offer a gentler, braver path: small deeds done in quiet that restore dignity to others and meaning to us. Think visiting a nursing home, blessing a neighbor who rarely opens the door, writing to a soldier, honoring a teacher, or plating meals at a shelter with no camera rolling. These are the moments where presence displaces anxiety and devotion replaces performance. Along the way, we talk about entering a new season of life with open hands—retiring from roles that defined us so our true vocation can finally breathe.You'll also hear a simple daily practice to anchor your day before work: offering your tasks as prayer, asking to be an instrument of peace, and choosing to see the spark in every person you meet. If you're craving meaning at year's end, start smaller than you think and sooner than you planned. Press play, take one step of service today, and let us know the small deed you're choosing. If this spoke to you, subscribe, share with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more seekers can find their way here.Support the show

There was no more feared boxer than George Foreman in his prime. Tough, strong, mean, talented, smart… George had it all and was at the top of his game as heavyweight champ until October 30, 1974 when he lost to Muhammad Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle. Now a year later, Big George is on the cover of Sports Illustrated, wanting another shot at Ali for “his title.” The fight never took place. And in 1977, George retired from boxing. And that set up one of the greatest 2nd acts in the history of the sport. 10 years later, a 38-year old George came out of retirement and got back into the ring. He kept at it, and finally, on November 5, 1995 in the 10th round against heavyweight champion Michael Moorer, George caught him, knocked him out and was once again the heavyweight champion of the world at the age of 45. On the mic calling that fight was a colleague of George's who had known Foreman for years. Jim Lampley had been around almost as long as Foreman, starting his incredible broadcasting career the same year George and Ali hooked up in Zaire. Now in the prime of his own boxing career at HBO, Lamps was the voice of a generation, especially for those who loved the sweet science. He had asked George how he planned to beat a much younger Moorer and George told him what was going to take place. And when it unfolded exactly how George had said it would, Lampley exclaimed, It Happened, It Happened… his famous four word account of George Foreman recapturing the belt he had lost over 20 years ago to his nemesis Ali. Jim Lampley joins us on the Past Our Prime podcast to talk about his start in the business as a 24-year old kid for ABC Sports. His rise in the industry and how he won over the trust of Foreman as a broadcasting partner, and eventually an equal and… a friend. He talks about the sudden passing of the champ and how that still moves him to tears and about the transformation George had from angry, intimidating, brute to the lovable, jovial gentle giant we all came to embrace during George's successful Act Two. And Lampley tells a story about George and Bob Dylan that lets you get behind the curtain and see a different side of George altogether. It's a great talk with a man who has been in the broadcasting business for 50 years and seen some of the greatest fights of the last 50 years. The author of the book, “It Happened, A Uniquely Lucky Life in Sports Television,” Jim Lampley on the Past Our Prime podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When Cal returns to Tampa's Ybor City to speak, he keeps a ritual that's become almost sacred: a meal at the legendary 120-year-old Columbia Restaurant, followed by a quiet moment of thanks to the man who first sent him there — Muhammad Ali's doctor, the renowned Ferdie Pacheco. Ferdie wasn't just the "Fight Doctor." He was an artist, a storyteller, and a man with a taste for a good practical joke. After his meal, Cal goes to pay tribute to Ferdie through his painting that hangs near The Columbia's kitchen. Only this time, the painting is gone, and it feels to Cal like an old friend has vanished. What happened next left Cal with a twist he couldn't see coming — and a hint that destiny sometimes whispers through the strangest openings. Listen in to hear the story unfold.

Exploring 500 years of protest and resistance in US history—and how its force is foundational and can empower us to navigate our chaotic world In this timely new book in Beacon's successful ReVisioning History series, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples' resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today's climate change demonstrations, Browne-Marshall sheds light on known and forgotten movements and their unsung leaders, revealing how protest has shaped our nation and remains a vital force for change today. Drawing upon legal documents, archival material, memoir, government documents and secondary sources, A Protest History of the United States (Beacon Press, 2026) gives voice to those who pushed back against the mistreatment of others, themselves, and in some instances planet Earth. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. Those stories include those of: Wahunsenacock, more commonly known to history as Chief Powhatan, who took on English invaders in pre-colonial America in 1607; legendary boxer Muhammad Ali who refused to be inducted into the US military during the Vietnam era and appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court; and David Buckel, LGBTQ+ rights lawyer and environmental activist who protested against fossil fuels by committing self-immolation in 2018. Regardless of whether these protests accomplished their end goals, Browne-Marshall reminds us that dissent is always meaningful and impactful. In fact, reading this book is an act of protest.

We sit down with the legend, the scholar, and the cultural architect — Dr. Todd Boyd, professor at USC (University of Southern California) also known as “The Notorious Ph.D.” One of the most respected voices in sports, film, hip-hop, race, and American culture, Dr. Boyd brings a raw, intelligent, and unfiltered conversation that every fan of the culture needs to hear.Born and raised in Detroit, Dr. Boyd reflects on how growing up in one of the most influential Black cities in America shaped his worldview. From the sound of Motown to the grit of the streets to the pride of a city that produces icons, Detroit built his mindset — and ultimately molded the cultural force he would become.He opens up about his decision to attend The University of Iowa, revealing the unexpected reasons that pulled him away from home and the experiences that helped sharpen his voice as a thinker, writer, and observer of society.Before the world knew him as a cultural critic, Dr. Boyd's first love wasn't film or academia — it was the sweet science. He breaks down how watching the artistry of boxing, especially the greatness of Muhammad Ali, shaped his sense of identity, resistance, performance, and Black excellence. Ali wasn't just a fighter — he was the blueprint that inspired Boyd's lifelong commitment to telling the truth through culture.From there, he talks about how Dr. J (the other Dr. J — Julius Erving) inspired him to take his education further, ultimately pushing him toward earning his PhD. That moment of seeing Dr. J float through the air made him realize what was possible for a Black man with vision, talent, and discipline.Throughout the episode, Dr. Boyd walks us through an extraordinary career that's woven into the fabric of Black culture. From shaping conversations on ESPN and CNN… to writing some of the most important cultural analysis of the last few decades… to leaving an imprint on Black cinema. And yes — we go deep on “The Wood,” one of the beloved films he helped bring to life, and how its authenticity, humor, and heart reflected the real Black experience.This episode is a blueprint for creators, storytellers, athletes, and anyone who cares about the culture. It's academic, it's real, it's inspirational — and it's filled with gems only Dr. Todd Boyd can deliver.Turn this one all the way up — it's a masterclass. More of Dr. Todd Boyd:Instagram  ⁨@notoriousphd⁩  Twitter/X: @DrToddBoyd  Latest Book: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Todd-Boyd/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ATodd%2BBoyd

Photographer Steve Schapiro was often at the scene. Schapiro photographed historical Civil Rights marches, public figures like Muhammad Ali, David Bowie, and Robert Kennedy, and was also called to photograph films like "Taxi Driver" and "The Godfather."

The result of those interviews is a new documentary, "Steve Schapiro: Being Everywhere," in theaters November 14th and showing for a week at DCTV's Firehouse Cinema. Director Maura Smith, who also happens to be Schapiro's wife, reflects on her husbands legacy with the camera.
