Today I talked to Lisa F. Rosenberg about Fine, I'm a Terrible Person (Sibylline Press, 2025). The pain of 73-year-old Aurora's divorce over thirty years before continues to reverberate – she's eccentric, filled with schemes, and only able to function with help from her daughter. Born in the 500-year-old Jewish community of Rhodes, she mixes Judeo-Espanol (Ladino) aphorisms into her speech and thinks she speaks Spanish, but few can understand her. With an expired license and an ancient car, she drives to Los Angeles hoping to find a treasure after the death of her father's last wife. Aurora's daughter Leyla is also affected by her father's abrupt departure and spends her life seeking perfection, trying not to let her mother make her crazy, and striving to fit into their wealthy San Francisco community. When she learns that her husband might be having an affair, she takes her two young sons for a madcap weekend in Los Angeles where she'll have to bend a few rules, grapple with her mother, sneak into her husband's conference, and learn a bit about going with the flow. This is a charming mother-daughter novel about immigrants, overcoming family dysfunction, the cuisine of the Jewish community of Rhodes, and learning to overcome obstacles. Lisa F.

From the Mayflower's landing, to the meal shared by English setters and Wampanoag people, much is still widely misunderstood about the Thanksgiving holiday and its history. Connecticut-based educator Chris Newell recently wrote a book for children that helps to untangle some of the myths and misnomers commonly associated with Thanksgiving. For example, the book clarifies that "the holiday we celebrate today does not have any real connection to the Mayflower's landing. In fact, the story that links them was not created until two hundred years later." As Newell notes in his introduction, "The story of the Mayflower landing is different depending on whether the storyteller viewed the events from the boat or from the shore." This hour, Chris Newell joins us. Plus, how is this topic being reframed in Connecticut classrooms? The Connecticut State Department of Education recently published resources for "Teaching Native American Studies." The materials were developed in a collaboration between the five state-recognized Eastern Woodland tribes: Golden Hill Paugussett, Mashantucket Pequot, Mohegan, Paucatuck Eastern Pequot and Schaghticoke. Becky Gomez, the director of education for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, and Sam Tondreau, a member of the Mohegan Tribe as well as their director of curriculum and instruction, discuss. GUESTS: Chris Newell: Member of the Passamaquaddy Tribe; Co-Founder and Director of Education, Akowmawt Educational Initiative; Museum Educator; Children's Book Author, If You Lived During Rebecca Gomez: Director of Education and Recreation, Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation Samantha Tondreau: Member of the Mohegan Tribe; Director of Curriculum & Instruction, Mohegan Tribe Where We Live is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, TuneIn, Listen Notes, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Philadelphia Art Museum is an icon of the City of Brotherly Love, and there's no shortage of art lovers who wouldn't consider a chance to work there to be a dream job. But passion and prestige don't pay the bills, as many museum workers have found while being severely undercompensated for their labor. After a public spreadsheet displaying the vast disparities in salaries at the museum was circulated in 2019 by a group called Art Museum and Transparency, workers at the PMA began to organize for a union. In summer 2022, the PMA Union held a successful three-week strike after two years of contract negotiations. TRNN's Vince Quiles speaks with Adam Rizzo, Museum Educator and President of AFSCME Local 397, and Amanda Bock, Assistant Curator and Co-Lead Shop Steward of the PMA Union.Read the episode transcriptPost-Production: Adam ColeyHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer:Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

There was a time that the border between Missouri and Iowa was not quite defined. This led to a controversy and conflict between the governors of the states. Many shenanigans ensued. Just press play to hear the whole story. ——— Click on search links to see if there are episodes with related content: Andy Primm, Legal Matters, Politics and Government, ——— Podcast Transcript: I'm Andy Primm, Museum Educator at the Missouri Historical Society, and Here's History on eighty-eight-one, K-D-H-X. ——— St. Louis loves honey. Whether we're enjoying some local honey from the farmer's market or raising bees in our own urban hives, the sweet treat is always popular. But here's something you might not know about honey: in 1839, it almost led to war between Missouri and Iowa. This ridiculous series of events is known today as the Honey War. ——— The whole thing started because the northern border of Missouri wasn't clearly defined. Missouri's first Constitution, drafted in St. Louis in 1820, referred to a northern border that “passes through the rapids of the river Des Moines.” The problem? Such rapids did not exist. Over time, several possible borders were proposed, but no one knew which one was correct. ——— In 1839, Missouri Governor Lilburn W. Boggs took decisive action on the matter and strongly asserted Missouri's claim to the most northern boundary possible. Iowa, still a territory at the time, argued for a more southerly line. The two proposed borders were almost ten miles apart. ——— Things escalated quickly from there. Governor Boggs ordered a Missouri Sherriff to collect taxes in the disputed area. Iowans responded by tossing the good Sherriff in jail. An unknown Missourian then took it upon himself to cut down and haul away three valuable honey-producing bee trees from the disputed area. Enraged Iowa authorities convicted the miscreant in absentia and fined him $1.50. In Governor Boggs' estimation, these actions were assaults on Missouri's citizens and property. ——— Boggs dispatched 800 militiamen to the border. Iowa Territorial Governor Robert Lucas responded in kind, sending 300 militiamen of his own. Bloodshed seemed imminent, but the militia commanders quickly agreed that a shooting war over honey trees was in nobody's interest. The bellicose governors relented and allowed the issue to be submitted to the courts. The matter was finally resolved in 1849 when the US Supreme Court split the disputed area roughly evenly between Iowa and Missouri. ——— How sweet it is that cooler heads prevailed! ——— Here's History is a join production of K-D-H-X and the Missouri Historical Society. I'm Andy Primm, and this is eight-eight-one, K-D-H-X, St. Louis. ———

Mary Kate Claytor is the Associate Director of Interpretation at the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Virginia. After a bit of background about this unique living history museum, Mary Kate describes in detail wool production for a yeoman farmer in the 1600-1800's: starting with sheep shearing, wool washing, stale urine and lanolin, through to carding & combing, drop spindles & spinning wheels, historical & natural dyes, and finally ending on a fabric called linsey-woolsey. From there we move on to another category of historical clothing, buckskins. Mary Kate recounts learning how to hide tan while working at Natural Bridge's Monacan village. Then we switch from clothing to foodways by reflecting on both profound & disturbing experiences while taking part in hog slaughters & fowl processing. We end on hearing of how Mary Kate's historical hobbies connect her to her great-grandmother.

Journeys 旅途: Boys of the Chinese Educational Mission is on view at the Connecticut Historical Society (CHS) through July 2023. This exhibition honors the 150th anniversary of the Chinese Educational Mission (CEM), a cultural and educational exchange program from 1872 – 1881. Headquartered in Hartford, the CEM enabled 120 Chinese boys, most of whom were barely teenagers, to study in New England with the goal of modernizing China by educating its future leaders abroad. It is a story of hopes, dreams, sacrifice, and the life-changing experience of international exchange.   In this episode of Grating the Nutmeg, Museum Educator Natalie Belanger talks to Karen Li Miller and Henry Qu about their work on Journeys. The CEM collection at the CHS was a well-known resource, but contained Chinese-language materials that had never been translated....until Henry Qu, himself an international student, made an unexpected stop at CHS on his way from New Jersey to Massachusetts. Three years later, Henry's detour resulted in a fresh telling of the Mission's story, using the boys' newly-translated first-person accounts of their experience in Connecticut. What was it like to be uprooted as a teenager to live in a place that your language didn't even have a word for? What did these teens in the 1870s have in common with teenagers today? And what motivated Henry Qu to make that serendipitous stop at CHS? Listen to find out!   The Exhibition Journeys: Boys of the Chinese Educational Mission will be on view at the Connecticut Historical Society through July, or you can take a 3D tour online at chs.org.  Keep an eye on upcoming programming related to this topic at the CHS in spring of 2023!   Read more about the CEM in Connecticut Explored magazine here:   https://www.ctexplored.org/chinese-exchange-students-in-1880s-connecticut/   https://www.ctexplored.org/wong-kai-kah-comes-of-age-in-connecticut/   Fresh episodes of Grating the Nutmeg are brought to you every two weeks with support from our listeners.

The Capital Jewish Museum—a new museum opening at Third & F Streets, NW, in Spring 2023—is a secular organization that explores the intersection of the American Jewish experience in the nation's capital. Now a lot of you may be like …. another Jewish Museum … and let me correct you. There is not a Jewish museum in DC, there's the Holocaust Museum, which is not a celebration of Judaism that is a tomb of remembrance. This Museum will inspire connection across communities with me today to talk about the new museum and the Capital Jewish Food Festival is Lisa Del Sesto, Museum Educator of the Capital Jewish Museum. Lisa brought with her good friend Susan Barocas, chef, caterer, and food writer who is putting on the staged events. Lauren Newman from CityBlossoms one of the Museum's Community Partners and Peter Schechter from Immigrant Foods talked about all the restaurant involvement. Industry Night with Nycci Nellis, Tuesdays at 7pm on RealFunDC

Within this episode we debated Socialism VS Capitalism. This was not strictly structured or organized and none of us are experts. Spencer Woehrle is a recent college graduate majoring in Anthropology with minors in History and Museum Studies, currently he is a Museum Educator at the Riversdale House Museum located in Riversdale Park, Prince George's County, MD. Spencer says that there is of course no perfect system to explain his views or how he thinks a country should be run, but among the standard political, social, and economic systems he aligns with Socialism. Mayur Kamireddy is a current Senior at University of Maryland College Park majoring in Economics, Philosophy, and Politics, and currently he is also a Summer Analyst at BNP Paribas. He is similar to Spencer in the way that he does not think any system is perfect in explaining his views but he most aligns with Capitalism due to its benefits for innovation, growth, opportunity, and more. I would like to preface again that none of us are experts and we decided to have this conversation so that we could understand each other's perspectives, learn something new, and produce content that is thought provoking. Additionally, some of the statements in this episode may not be facts, the guest and I came in with notes and research done, but there is a chance that some of those can be off, so please do your own research!

Previously on Fallen Worlds we looked at the possibility of a massive impact event which could be at the heart of over 1200 flood mythologies around the globe and we examined the real growing evidence set forth that this event seems to have been tied to the so-called Younger Dryas impact event.  The discovery of over 50 impact craters 600 miles across seems to suggest that the earth was bombarded by multiple objects.   Around the world there are tales told of fiery serpents descending from the sky and multiple stories of strange visitors who gave warnings to a select few who were to preserve themselves and their families in caves and on boats and who would be charged to restart the human race after the world had been destroyed.  Why does there seem to be a continuity between these stories from different cultures who could never have had contact with one another?  Were these people warned by others who knew this event was going to occur? And what can we learn from these legends? Emily Uldrich , Museum Educator from the Southern Ohio Museum and cultural center in Portsmouth Ohio joins us in this episode to examine these legends from around the world and closer to home as we try to unravel the story of The Survivors on this episode of Wild & Weird Radio.

In this first episode of the relaunch, I am joined by Briana Pobiner, research Scientist and Museum Educator at Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Briana studied Evolutionary Anthropology and has researched into meat eating developments in early Hominins such as Homo Erectus. She has been on the podcast before and for more information from her regarding her work on the early human diet and meat eating, take a listen to this episode from back in 2018. https://soundcloud.com/bunchofapes/the-evolution-of-the-human-diet-with-briana-pobiner In this new episode, we chatted about how she is finding lockdown and how she keeps busy with remote projects. We took a stroll out of Africa with Homo-erectus and asked did they hunt, store food, where they more like Humans or apes? I found out about Isotopes and how they help us understand early human diets far better then archaeological finds that are difficult to find and analyse from so far back in the past. We clear up some myths that the Human diet is 'supposed to be' all meat and no carb, as some diet influencers unfortunately may try to lead you to believe. Briana talked about cross species cultural exchange possibilities and then saw for herself, some cross species genetic transfer possiblities....in my bloody brow ridge. So I got revenge by asking her some hard hitting questions like could the human race adapt to a diet of just Doritos and would she go inter-species with a Neanderthal if she was single! Lots of fun and I, as always learnt loads. Briana is a real expert with a skill and passion for making her filed understandable and accessible to all.

Veronika, a Non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer survivor, NCCS advocate, and Museum Educator, lead group tours of young, aspiring artists at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburg.

Veronika, a Non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer survivor, NCCS advocate, and Museum Educator, lead group tours of young, aspiring artists at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburg. In the cramped exhibit halls and close quarters of the indoor museum, she would feel the hugs of her young guests who greeted her as she prepared groups for interactive demonstrations. She also served as the front-line for the museum by being the first face a visitor would see. Visitors came to Veronika for answers. Since Friday the 13th of March, Veronika has been furloughed from her museum and safely quarantined alone in her home. As a cancer survivor with a depleted immune system, she is at a heightened risk for a deadly infection if she contracts COVID-19, which would most likely cost her her life. Yet, Veronika loves her job and finds her life purpose in her work, which gives her both happiness and security to pay bills and receive health insurance. But now, she fears her job will soon require her to go back to the museum, which in turn, will compromise her health and safety.

Live episode recording from Museum Educator of Southern California's 2018 Annual Institute at the Skirball Cultural Center. My guest was Elena Muslar, Assistant Director, Entertainment and Fine Arts Professions at Loyola Marymount University. Elena was so wonderful and insightful! Our discussion veered in many directions, including breaking down the buzz versus the actual work of social justice work in arts and cultural organizations and how that manifests from our individual selves to the field at large. Her experience in museums and now higher education is so valuable. If you need a pick me up, this is definitely the episode for you! Elena’s passions intersect at a crossroads between cultural equity, creative balance, racial justice, and arts entrepreneurship. Elena holds a BA in Theatre from Loyola Marymount University and an MFA in Theatre Management from CalArts.

If you love museums and art, chances are Maria Yoon has your dream job. As a performance artist, filmmaker, senior museum educator and founder of the recently-launched Private Museum Tours. Maria is a multi-hyphenate trailblazing her own path. With more than 20 years of museum education on her resume, including 17 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in her new business Maria guides individuals, VIP’s and groups through various museums and galleries in the greater New York City area. “The best part [of my job] is to be surrounded by beautiful things. It never gets old,” Maria says. “Why? Exhibitions change every three months. At a large museum like the Met, they have such a large scale of collections that every day I find something new, and I find beauty in that.” The last time we interviewed Maria Yoon on I Want Her Job, she had just said her final “I do” as part of her documentary, Maria the Korean Bride, in which Maria had 50 different marriages to 50 different “spouses” (including men, women – and even the Liberty Bell!) in 50 states, to bring greater attention to the cultural pressures and ostracism individuals feel when pressured to tie the knot. “When I was 30 years old, my dad, I think he panicked … He felt that he didn’t live up to his standard as a father because I was still single. I was alone in his eyes, me – living the life I do as an artist and museum educator was not good enough … ” Maria says. “We began to argue a lot … and then I said, ‘Let me see what I can do to meet you halfway.’ That conversation became a giant documentary film.” The film received attention from various film festivals, PBS, NBC News, Yahoo!, The Huffington Post, Timemagazine and even led to an appearance on TLC’s Cake Boss. But, after such acclaim, what comes next? In episode 11 of I Want Her Job: The Podcast, Podcast Editor Polina Selyutin speaks with Maria about the deep and unexpected impact her film had on her own life, insight into how the film was made, as well as Maria’s future plans for a documentary about ghosting. TOPICS DISCUSSED IN TODAY'S SHOW: On Her Work: “It gives me a reason to educate myself, to learn more and study. And to know at the end that I actually get paid to study and educate myself … I can’t find any greater joy than that.” Lady Luck: The role a winning lottery ticket (and generous friend) had in bringing Maria’s film to life. Vegas, Baby!: How Maria found her first “spouse” and then her second … during a trip to Sin City. Selecting Stories: Maria was the collector and mediator of stories across 50 states while working to change people’s views on marriage in different ways. She listened to stories of people she met, and learned about cultures and communities across the U.S. The Final Wedding: Hear Maria’s heartbreaking story about the last time she said, “I Do” on her 50-state adventure. On Early Influences: Maria’s mom, a “poet at heart,” encouraged Maria to follow her interests. Lessons Learned: Before launching her next documentary effort, Maria says she’s going to focus more on marketing and funding up front and will aim to get more local artists involved. On Fate: When Maria’s mother was pregnant with her, a fortune teller predicted that Maria would be an artist that would travel far. Ghost Weddings: Why this topic will be the focus of Maria’s next documentary – and find out what it means!
