The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians is celebrating the return of ancestral remains from Harvard and Yale. And, California State University is reimagining its Basic Needs Initiative.

Ein 67 Millionen Jahre altes Tyrannosaurus-Rex-Skelett soll heute in New York für bis zu 30 Millionen Dollar versteigert werden. Solche Auktionen erzielen seit Jahren Rekordpreise, doch Paläontologen sehen diese Entwicklung kritisch. Denn wenn Fossilien in Privatsammlungen verschwinden, könnten sie der Wissenschaft dauerhaft verloren gehen. Ist das ein Problem oder gibt es auch Vorteile privater Verkäufe? Darüber sprechen wir mit Johannes Vogel, Generaldirektor des Museums für Naturkunde Berlin.

John Maytham speak to Professor Anusuya Chinsamy-Turan, Palaeobiologist in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Cape Town, about the T- Rex fossil that could possibly become the most expensive fossil ever – many scientist do not agree. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

Polen will in den kommenden Tagen ein Verhandlungsteam für Gespräche mit den USA über eine mögliche dauerhafte Stationierung amerikanischer Truppen bilden. Außerdem richtet die Europäische Weltraumorganisation ESA in Warschau einen neuen Sitz ihres polnischen Zentrums ein. Mehr zu diesen Themen erfahren Sie gleich im heutigen Infoteil. Außerdem erinnern wir an Jan Karski. Heute vor 26 Jahren starb der legendäre Kurier und Emissär des polnischen Untergrundstaates. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs versuchte er, die Welt über den Holocaust zu informieren. Warum scheiterte seine Mission? Mehr dazu später im Infomagazin. Und zum Abschluss haben wir noch einen Reisetipp für Sie. Wir nehmen Sie mit in die Masurische Hütte, ein privates ethnografisches Museum im masurischen Dorf Sądry. Es beherbergt vermutlich eine der umfangreichsten volkskundlichen Sammlungen der Region. Die ältesten Exponate stammen aus dem frühen Mittelalter. Zu sehen sind historische Möbel, Haushaltsgeräte, Trachten, Spielzeug und Bücher. Wir sprachen mit dem Besitzer des Museums.

Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III is pushing back against a White House Domestic Policy Council report that accuses the National Museum of American History of "anti-Americanism" and "extreme political activism."

Das Land mit der einst strahlenden Anziehungskraft kämpft ziemlich erfolglos gegen einen Einbruch der Touristenzahlen aus dem Ausland.  Dies in einem Jahr, das eigentlich neue Rekorde erreichen müsste, mit Fußball WM und 250 Jahren USA. Wolfgang Streitbörger (Tourismusvertretung von Mississippi und Alabama) – Foto: privat Mir geht es ähnlich, wie den Touristen, die wegbleiben. Ich mache auch keinen Hehl daraus, dass meine ursprünglich heiß geliebten USA schon seit zweieinhalb Jahren nicht mehr auf der Favoritenliste stehen, denn zu viel ist passiert: Im Land, durch fragwürdige Regierungsentscheidungen in Sachen Einreiseregelungen, Kontrollen und inneramerikanische Verhaltensweisen, die wenig Lust machen zu einer Reise dorthin aufzubrechen. Das ist Grund genug um zu reden. Das passiert in dieser Podcast-Folge mit meinem Talkgast Wolfgang Streitbörger, der als PR-Vertreter US-Amerikanischer Destinationen, die Aufgabe hat, genau das zu vermeiden. Eine Krise aufarbeiten – Geht das? Es ist ein schwieriges Gespräch. Auf der einen Seite gibt es nicht wegzudiskutierende Fakten, auf der anderen sagen USA-Besucher, die mit dem VISA-freien ESTA-Programm einreisen, es sei nie einfacher gewesen in die Staaten zu kommen. Selten sei die Grenzkontrolle schneller, freundlicher und reibungsloser abgelaufen. Bleibt die Frage, ob Berichte und Eindrücke von Problemen falsch sind, auf Sinnestäuschungen beruhen oder schlicht aufgebauscht wurden? Wir versuchen Sachverhalte zu klären, Falschinformation zu benennen und uns gleichzeitig an einer Einordnung zu versuchen. What's it All About: Baseball & Apple-Pie Wir haben den Podcast zum Anfang der Woche und damit unmittelbar nach dem 4. Juli 2026, dem amerikanischen Nationalfeiertag (Independence Day) geführt. Stattgefunden hat der Talk auf der Terrasse eines Kasseler Cafés. Passend zum kulinarischen Angebot zwischen Rührei, Eggs Benedict mit Avocado und Kaffee, also irgendwo auch ein wenig amerikanisch. Eggs Benedict in Memoriam – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Fragen und Antworten Aus der Problematik resultiert eine große Zahl von Fragen. Die Antworten, oder zumindest die Antwortversuche, findet Ihr in diesem Podcast. Warum bleiben die Touristen aus? Sind die Argumente in Sachen Einreise denn berechtigt oder sind es Fehlinformationen, die zum schlechten Image geführt haben? Beruht das Phänomen auf Ängsten der Reisenden und dem „Säbelrasseln“ der Trump-Regierung, obwohl die Welt reisetechnisch sehr viel besser in Ordnung ist, als vermutet? Welche Faktoren gibt es? – Ängste, Politische Ablehnung, hohe Preise oder ist es einfach nur ein nachvollziehbares aber irrationales Gefühl? Es gab viele Meldungen über scharfe Kontrollen und Checks, die Überprüfung von Social-Media-Accounts und Mailadressen. Wie sieht die in der Praxis wahrgenommene Realität aus? Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Politics ICE geht ja, belegt, nicht gerade zimperlich mit Menschen um, die sie verhaften. Juristische Vorgaben werden gern mal ignoriert. Da ist die Angst in Kontrollen zu geraten und plötzlich im Knast zu sitzen. Aber: Trifft das auch deutsche Touristen, die in Musikmetropolen wie Memphis, New Orleans, Nashville usw. oder einfach nur die Sonne Floridas genießen wollen? Es gibt ja die Protestbewegung „No Kings“ und gleichzeitig feiert man das 250. USA-Jubiläum und das „Land of the Brave“, der Tapferen, Unerschrockenen und der Freiheitliebenden. Wie passt das zusammen? US-Unabhängigkeitserklärung in deutscher Sprache im “Museum of the American Revolution” in Philadelphia – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Wie gehen die amerikanischen Touristiker mit der Problematik um? Selbst die Marketingorganisation „Brand USA“ ist ja seit geraumer Zeit unter Dauerbeschuss der Regierung. Das Geld wird immer knapper, für ein Tourismusmarketing, das gerade jetzt bitter notwendig wäre. Ist die Organisation aus Trump-Sicht nur einfach noch nicht gleichgeschaltet? Donald J. Trump ist Namensgeber der „Trump-Hotels“. Eine solche Marke müsste doch normalerweise ein Interesse an der Förderung des Tourismus haben. Wie passt das mit den fremdenfeindlichen Auftritten des Präsidenten Donald J. Trump zusammen? Trump-Tower Chicago – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Nun ist die Stimmung im Land selber so aufgeheizt wie nie zuvor. Sind diese Uneinigkeit im Land und das Aufeinanderprallen politischer Fronten auch Grund für den Imageschaden und den angstmachenden Faktoren? Ist man sich denn wenigstens in Tourismuskreisen etwas einiger, oder herrscht dort das gleiche politische Chaos? Der deutsche Tourismusblick Deutsche Veranstalter versuchen ja davon zu überzeugen, dass die Probleme hauptsächlich im Kopf der Reisenden oder besser Nicht-Reisenden existieren. Wie sieht das der PR-Mann Wolfgang Streitbörger, dessen Aufgabe es ja ist, solche Ängste gar nicht erst aufkommen zu lassen? Wie wird es weitergehen? Welche Hoffnungen tragen denn die USA-Touristiker mit sich herum? Wie gestaltet sich der Umgang mit dem Unmöglichen? Was wird aus den Hoffnungen aller, die ein tolles Land kennen und dort Freunde haben, die noch genauso gut, offen und freiheitlich denken? Wird sich das eventuell mit den “Mid-Terms”, den Zwischenwahlen im November ändern, oder schliddert der Tourismus dann in eine zusätzliche Krise? Capitol – Washington Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Schlussgedanken (nach dem Gespräch) Eine Reise in die USA machen? Entscheiden muss das, nach wie vor, jeder für sich selbst. Die vergleichsweise Unabhängigkeit der Bundesstaaten, die sich auch im Tourismus niederschlägt mag Mut machen. Wirklich geklärt sind die Probleme des Landes noch lange nicht. Civil Rights Museum, Jackson, Ms.: Ein Pflichtstopp bei der Reise durch den Süden – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Letztlich liegen sie tief in der „amerikanischen Seele“. Freiheit ja, aber für einige weniger davon. Vorurteile, Rassismus, soziale Standesunterschiede und Probleme haben sich im Lauf der letzten 100 Jahre nicht beseitigen lassen. Da muss man schon grenzenloser Optimist sein, wenn man glaubt, dass dies ein Regierungswechsel in gut zwei Jahren bewerkstelligen könnte. Bürgerrechtskampf und Ku-Klux-Klan: Civil Rights Museum, Jackson, Mississippi Auf der anderen Seite, so auch mein Talk-Gast Wolfgang, gibt es im Land, mitunter ganz plötzlich auch immer wieder Ereignisse, die man kaum vorhersehen kann. Bisher haben sich die USA noch immer wieder erholt. Ob das auch diesmal funktionieren wird? „Kings“ haben die Eigenheit, Macht nur unfreiwillig aufzugeben. Ob man sich auf die „No Kings“-Strategie der amerikanischen Verfassung rückbesinnt? Ich würde es mir wünschen. B.B. Kings Grab in Indianola im Garten “seines” Museums – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Mehr Reiseradio-Podcasts zum Thema Die Geburt einer Nation Die US-Hauptstadt Washington D.C. 2010 Independence Day Stories (July 4th) Das Museum of Civil Rights in Jackson, Mississippi Blues und B.B.

The country's top museums are facing fire from the Trump Administration over a new report claiming the museums are engaging in extreme political activism by presenting 'radical views' of American history. Historians slam the report, saying it's unnecessarily adding more politics into history itself. It's often said that victors write history, but how does that apply when looking back at our own history? Greg and Holly discuss.  

A new White House Domestic Policy Council report accuses the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History of "extreme political activism" and calls for a more patriotic presentation of American history ahead of the nation's 250th anniversary. Critics argue the effort seeks to reshape how Black, Native, immigrant, women's and LGBTQ history are presented.

60.000 Menschen singen im Olympiastadion, Jochen guckt aus dem Fenster auf zwei Pferde in der Wallonie. Diesmal reisen die beiden wegen der Kunst. Michi war bei den Foo Fighters in Berlin, dem größten Konzert der Band auf deutschem Boden, und Jochen erzählt von seinem Treffen mit Dave Grohl und dass Paul McCartney auch irgendwie dabei war. Dann geht's zum angesagtesten Museums-Besuch des Jahres ins Kölner Museum Ludwig zu Yayoi Kusama, der japanischen Künstlerin, die Reisende vielleicht von ihrem weltberühmten Kürbis auf der japanischen Insel Naoshima kennen. Und es wird auch mal unbequem, wenn Michi die Schattenseiten der laufenden Fußball-WM thematisiert - verbunden mit einem Podcast-Tipp. Am Ende bleibt eine Weekender Card und eine Frage, deren Antwort persönlicher wird als gedacht: allein reisen oder zu zweit?—Unsere Werbepartner findet ihr hier.Mehr Reisen Reisen gibt es bei Instagram.Abboniere unseren Newsletter unter https://www.reisenreisen.info/p/newsletterFoto-Credit: Thomas Rabsch Instagram—MUSIKFoo Fighters — US-Rockband um Dave Grohl (früher Schlagzeuger bei Nirvana); ihr Berliner Olympiastadion-Konzert 2026 war ihr bislang größtes Konzert auf deutschem Boden.

When you think of the Revolutionary War, you may think of Philadelphia or Boston. But if you want to be where the fighting actually happened, head to New Jersey, where armies crisscrossed the state, neighbors were divided, and Washington's army turned things around. Sara Cureton, the executive director of the New Jersey State Historical Commission, and Mark Texel, the administrator of state historic sites for the NJ Dept of Environmental Protection, talk about the Garden State's rich revolutionary history and where to the landmarks and artifacts associated with it today.    Painting by John Trumbull: The Death of General Mercer at the Battle of Princeton January 3 1777 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of the Video Game History Hour, host Phil Salvador interviews Willem Hilhorst, Media Manager for Games and Online at the Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision regarding their video game preservation efforts within the context of an audiovisual media archive. Established in 1997, the institute manages a growing collection of over 500 digital and physical Dutch-connected games. Hilhorst outlines key initiatives like the Dutch Games Canon and the Treasure Room portal for out-of-commerce media. The discussion addresses the legal and structural challenges of long-term preservation alongside the role of national identity in software design. Using Ubisoft's early French influence on Rayman as a case study, Hilhorst highlights how local cultural elements translate to international audiences. Also in this episode: the non-game material held in the archive, the potential canon inclusion of Moon Child, and Hilhorst's external work for Nintendo World Report and EFGAMP. You can listen to the Video Game History Hour every other Wednesday on Patreon (one day early at the $5 tier and above), on Spotify, or on our website.Mentioned in the Show: The Dutch Games Canon (please use translation for an English version): https://gamescanon.beeldengeluid.nl"The Treasure Room" (Schatkamer) (requires a Dutch IP address or VPN): https://schatkamer.beeldengeluid.nlThe European Federation of Game Archives, Museums and Preservation Projects: https://efgamp.eu Nintendo World Report: https://nintendoworldreport.com / https://youtube.com/@NinWRTVOut of Commerce Works Portal: https://euipo.europa.eu/out-of-commerce/Home Computer Museum: https://www.homecomputermuseum.nl/en/#introSee more from Willem Hilhorst:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/whilhorst.bsky.socialSound & Vision Website: https://beeldengeluid.nl/en/Video Game History Foundation:Email: podcast@gamehistory.orgWebsite: gamehistory.orgSupport us on Patreon: /gamehistoryorg

Have designers created anything genuinely new since 1970—and what do postwar Paris, May 1968, 1970s punk, quiet luxury, vintage clothing, fashion TikTok, and the decline of print magazines tell us about how people dress now?On this episode of Pair of Kings, Sol and Michael sit down with Dr. Alexis Romano, fashion historian, writer, curator and professor at Parsons School of Design, for a conversation about fashion history, modern fashion trends, and the forces that turn clothing into culture. Alexis studies twentieth-century fashion, photography, women's history, clothing archives, and everyday dress. Her book, Prêt-à-Porter, Paris and Women: A Cultural Study of French Readymade Fashion, 1945–68, traces the rise of French ready-to-wear after World War II through garments, Vogue and Elle, film, photography, oral history, and the lives of women who bought and wore the clothes.The conversation begins with a fit check spanning Rick Owens, Crocs, selvedge denim, and a vintage Mollie Parnis Ultrasuede set before asking whose clothing gets preserved as fashion history. Museums often prioritize haute couture, luxury fashion, and famous designers, while everyday sportswear, workwear, ready-to-wear, and heavily worn garments disappear. Alexis explains why ordinary clothing and oral history create a richer record.Sol, Michael, and Alexis trace French prêt-à-porter and its tension with haute couture. They discuss how postwar modernization, technology, urban life, New Wave cinema, fashion magazines, photography, and changing ideas about women shaped the modern fashion industry. They examine how ready-made clothing became fashionable rather than merely practical, why casual dress grew alongside social liberalization, and how fast fashion represents the latest stage of a much longer ready-to-wear system.That history leads directly into the fashion landscape of 2026. Why do many well-dressed people now choose either expensive designer clothing or vintage and secondhand clothes? Why are the 1990s and Y2K still being recycled? Has archive culture made younger consumers more historically literate—or convinced them that old clothes are automatically better than new design? The episode connects the 1970s “beige decade” to The Row-era minimalism, natural-looking materials, texture, tactility, pared-back luxury, and the quiet-luxury conversation. Alexis breaks down the decade's competing trends: American sportswear, punk fashion, disco style, polyester, plastic, lamé, bold color, natural fabrics, wide-leg trousers, and Ultrasuede. Contradictory aesthetics existed at once—much like today's mix of minimalism, maximalism, streetwear, high fashion, and microtrends.A major section asks the central question: is fashion art? The group discusses The Met Costume Institute's 2026 Costume Art exhibition, the Museum at FIT, the Whitney Museum, MoMu Antwerp, and the growth of museum fashion exhibitions. Rick Owens becomes a case study in how a garment can be a consumer product, collectible design, personal uniform, museum object, and artwork at the same time. They also discuss Yohji Yamamoto exhibitions, the boundary between a fashion store and an art gallery, museum merchandise, and why fashion may be “the art of the people”—an art form audiences can wear, touch, collect, alter, and recognize in their own closets.This episode is part of Pair of Kings' exploration of “integrated fashion”: the idea that brands increasingly operate across clothing, art, media, music, fragrance, retail, technology, museums, and lifestyle, while consumers build wardrobes around their hobbies, identities, communities, and references. Fashion is not only what appears on a runway. It is also what gets worn, photographed, posted, remembered, collected, studied, resold, copied, preserved, and eventually called history.Whether you follow high fashion, menswear, streetwear, archive fashion, vintage clothing, fashion TikTok, fashion magazines, modeling, editorial photography, independent designers, museum exhibitions, or fashion theory, this conversation offers a practical history of how taste is made—and asks what parts of modern fashion culture will still exist for historians fifty years from now.Alexis is collecting fashion oral histories and personal fashion autobiographies for her research.

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel has a long, candid and far-ranging conversation with Charles Payton about the 1970s Bicentennial Era origins (and politics and backroom shenanigans) of heritage, history museums and historic preservation in Seattle and King County and the field's successes and challenges over the past half century. Payton has been a fixture in the Seattle and King County heritage community for more than five decades, and has assisted countless heritage groups, historical societies and history museums over his long career. He initially worked at Seattle's Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) in the mid 1970s – which was a very different era compared with 2026 – and he went on to serve as Community Museum Advisor at what became the King County Cultural Resources Division and later 4Culture before retiring a few years ago.

Virginia Teehan, Heritage Council CEO, outlines new guidance for items being repatriated from Irish museums to other countries.

Despite the frenzied debates about what history we should be teaching in the United States, until recently most African American and mainstream history museums have continued to tell an uplifting story of racial progress and achievement.  The United States has lagged behind museums in many other parts of the world which now give greater attention to recognizing past wrongs and injustices.  In the July 7th episode I'll be talking with Sociology Professor Amy Sodaro from the Borough of Manhattan Community College in the City University of New York about three new museums that feature the history of slavery and racial injustice.  This is the subject of her latest book, Lifting the Shadow: Reshaping Memory, Race and Slavery in U.S. Museums. 

Detailed Sermon Summary “Standing Where God Made a Way” Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. Part 5 of the “Rooted & Grounded”  Watch the 14 minute video: "The Road to Juneteenth" Pastor Bryan Hudson's sermon, “Standing Where God Made a Way,” connects the biblical account of Israel crossing the Jordan River in Joshua 4 with the historical meaning of Juneteenth. The central message is that believers, families, communities, and nations must remember the places where God brought deliverance, because remembrance preserves gratitude, identity, wisdom, and responsibility. The sermon begins by framing Juneteenth as more than a national holiday. It is presented as a memorial of deliverance and a reminder that God makes a way where there is no way. Dr. Hudson connects Juneteenth to the broader biblical theme of God delivering people from bondage, especially Israel's deliverance from Egypt and later their crossing into the Promised Land. He also references his video, “The Road to Juneteenth,” which traces the journey from emancipation declared to freedom enforced. Joshua 4: Remembering the Crossing The primary Scripture is Joshua 4:1–11, where God commands Joshua to have twelve men, one from each tribe of Israel, take twelve stones from the Jordan River after the people crossed on dry ground. These stones were to be set up as a memorial so that future generations would ask, “What do these stones mean?” The answer would preserve the story of how God cut off the waters of the Jordan and brought His people through. Dr. Hudson explains that this crossing parallels the Red Sea crossing under Moses forty years earlier. In both cases, God removed a barrier that His people could not remove on their own. The Jordan River was not always deep, but it did flood seasonally. God stopped the waters so Israel could cross, then instructed them to take stones from the riverbed—stones that were normally hidden—and make them visible as a testimony. A key insight is that the stones were not objects of worship. They were reminders of the God who acted. The stones pointed beyond themselves to God's power, faithfulness, and deliverance. Juneteenth as a Stone of Remembrance Dr. Hudson then connects Joshua's stones to Juneteenth. Just as Israel needed memorial stones to remember deliverance, African Americans and the nation need Juneteenth as a memorial of freedom delayed, freedom enforced, and freedom remembered. He explains that the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1862 and took effect on January 1, 1863, but freedom was not fully enforced in Texas until June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Galveston and announced General Order No. 3. This shows one of the sermon's major historical lessons: freedom declared is not always freedom practiced. Justice often requires enforcement. Juneteenth, therefore, is not merely a celebration. It is a memorial, an educational moment, and a call to remember both God's deliverance and the human struggle required for justice. Theological Foundation: Human Dignity and the Image of God A major theological point in the sermon is that all people are made in the image and likeness of God. Because of this, no person or group has the right to dominate, dehumanize, enslave, or exploit another. Dr. Hudson emphasizes the importance of saying “enslaved people” rather than simply “slaves.” To call someone a slave can make bondage sound like their identity. But their true identity is that they were human beings made in God's image who were enslaved by others. This point becomes the moral foundation for the sermon's critique of slavery, racism, domination, and exploitation. Slavery was especially evil because it involved humans made in God's image enslaving other humans made in God's image. A Sober View of American History The sermon also calls for honesty about American history. Dr. Hudson says Juneteenth should never have been necessary. If the nation had truly lived up to biblical principles from the beginning, enslaving Africans would never have been tolerated. He notes that the founders debated slavery and compromised in order to form the nation. Some opposed slavery, while others wanted to preserve it because of the economic benefits of free labor. That compromise, he explains, carried a terrible cost and eventually helped lead to the Civil War. Dr. Hudson does not reject love for the nation, but he urges listeners to avoid “rosy narratives” that ignore the blood, suffering, and injustice woven into the nation's history. The proper response is gratitude mixed with sobriety, remembrance, and responsibility. God Still Makes a Way The sermon repeatedly returns to the message that there are always barriers to cross. God parted the Red Sea under Moses. God stopped the Jordan River under Joshua. God made a way for enslaved people through emancipation and enforcement. And God still makes a way for His people today. Dr. Hudson says that today's breakthroughs may not always look as dramatic as the Red Sea or Jordan crossings, but the principle remains the same: when God brings people through obstacles, they should remember, testify, and move forward in faith. Memorials Are Educational Another key theme is that memorials are meant to teach. In Joshua 4, the stones were designed to provoke questions from children. When the children asked what the stones meant, the older generation was responsible to explain God's deliverance. Dr. Hudson applies this to holidays such as Juneteenth, Thanksgiving, Easter, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and others. These are not merely days off or occasions for celebration. They are opportunities to educate, remember sacrifice, and pass meaning to the next generation. He warns that routines, celebrations, and comfort can obscure legacy. People can enjoy the benefits of history without remembering the sacrifice that made those benefits possible. Therefore, remembrance must be intentional. Standing Where God Made a Way The title phrase, “Standing Where God Made a Way,” captures the sermon's central conviction. Dr. Hudson teaches that many of us are living in places of blessing that exist because God worked through previous generations. We are standing on ground made possible by God's intervention, people's prayers, sacrifices, faith, courage, and perseverance. This applies personally, spiritually, historically, and nationally. We stand where parents, grandparents, ancestors, saints, activists, soldiers, and faithful servants endured hardship so future generations could live differently. Twelve Contemporary Stones of Remembrance Near the end, Dr. Hudson gives twelve “stones” that people and families can set up as memorials today. These are practices and places that help preserve memory, identity, and gratitude: Education — learning the truth and teaching it to others. Vicarious living — learning through the lives and experiences of others rather than repeating their mistakes. Identification — seeing oneself connected to faithful and courageous people from the past. Honoring — highly valuing parents, elders, ancestors, and those who made sacrifices. Testimony — telling what God has done personally and collectively. Studying history — learning the real story, not only simplified or sanitized versions. Serving others — turning remembrance into action. Shared experience — building memories and meaning together as families and communities. Museums — places such as Freetown Village that preserve and teach history. Family gatherings — moments that connect generations. Anniversaries — recurring opportunities to remember God's faithfulness. Juneteenth — a national and spiritual stone of remembrance that points to deliverance, justice, and responsibility. These “stones” help people stay rooted. They prevent forgetfulness. They help connect the present generation to legacy and history. Final Exhortation The sermon closes with a call to preserve memories that are worth preserving. Dr. Hudson urges listeners to be intentional with their children, grandchildren, families, and communities. If people do not connect present blessings with past deliverance, they may lose their way in the future. The final prayer thanks God for His goodness, for ancestors and heroes known and unknown, and for the fact that we are standing where God made a way. The prayer also asks God to help His people remember, honor, educate, and never take His blessings—or the people He used—for granted. Core Message The sermon's core message is: God makes a way through impossible barriers, and His people must remember where He brought them from. Memorials—whether stones, holidays, testimonies, museums, family stories, or historical observances like Juneteenth—help us honor God, educate future generations, and move forward without forgetting the sacrifices that made our present blessings possible.

Dave Moore sits down with Karen Foglesong, the Manager of Collections and Curation at the Sangre de Cristo Arts & Conference Center/Buell Children's  Museum.  In the heart of southern Colorado, the Sangre de Cristo Arts & Conference Center is a beacon of creativity, education and culture.   They have served 17 counties since 1972.  Visitors can enjoy six curated exhibit galleries, an award‑winning children's museum, and exceptional programs through its schools of dance and arts. With flexible venues for meetings, performances, and special events, the Arts Center offers a rich and inclusive cultural experience for all ages. Both the Arts Center and the Buell Children's Museum are accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, reflecting their dedication to quality and excellence.   

Museums and galleries are calling for a dedicated central fund for cultural institutions, as many battle to keep the lights on. They're among the country's most visited attractions but are struggling to balance the books and fork out for patching up ageing buildings, seismic upgrades and rising operational costs. Tourism reporter Tess Brunton has more.

Episode 203 explores ten museums worth seeing not for the collections alone, but for the buildings themselves. From quiet rooms shaped by light to dramatic structures carved from old industrial spaces, this episode looks at museums where architecture changes the way we move, look, and remember the visit.

We look at the challenges artists face in expressing the sacred within a largely secular culture, how migration shapes religious imagery, and what it means to curate exhibitions that take spiritual themes seriously. We also reflect on how the sacred continues to surface within modern visual culture.

Guest BioDimitry Elias Léger is an award-nominated novelist whose work blends global storytelling with deeply human themes of identity, resilience, and belonging. A finalist for the PEN Open Book Award, his writing has appeared in leading publications including The New York Times, Time, Fortune, Granta, The Miami Herald, Literary Hub, and The Millions.Before focusing on fiction, Léger built a career in international affairs, studying geopolitics at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and spending a decade advising the United Nations. His work took him across regions facing political instability, humanitarian crises, and cultural transformation—experiences that now inform the emotional depth and global perspective of his novels.Drawing inspiration from his Haitian roots and a life lived across continents, Léger splits his time between Brooklyn, Geneva, and Martinique. His books, including God Loves Haiti and Death of the Soccer God, explore the intersection of personal stories and historical forces, often set against vivid international backdrops.Show SummaryIn this episode of the Big World Made Small Adventure Travel Podcast, host Jason Elkins speaks with Dimitry about his journey from global humanitarian work to becoming an internationally recognized novelist. Dimitry shares how his early experiences—growing up between cultures and later working with the United Nations—shaped his worldview and ultimately influenced the stories he felt compelled to tell.The conversation dives into the origins of his first novel, inspired by his time in Haiti following the devastating 2010 earthquake. Rather than focusing solely on tragedy, Dimitry chose to explore the unexpected presence of love, humor, and human connection in the aftermath of disaster. That same lens carries into his latest work, Death of the Soccer God, a story rooted in migration, identity, and the global journey of a Haitian athlete navigating life between countries and cultures.Along the way, Dimitry reflects on the creative process, the realities of life as a writer, and the personal sacrifices that often come with pursuing meaningful work. The episode also explores how travel, displacement, and distance from home can sharpen one's sense of identity—and why some of the most powerful stories emerge when we are far outside our comfort zones.

As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Americans are once again turning their attention to the people, events, and ideas that shaped the nation. Historic sites are preparing special programs. Museums are opening new exhibits. Families are tracing Revolutionary-era ancestors. Across the country, interest in early American history is growing once again. At the same time, one of the most influential portrayals of the Revolutionary period in recent years did not come from a textbook or documentary series. It came from Broadway. The musical Hamilton became far more than a stage production. It introduced millions of people to the lives and struggles of the founding era through music, storytelling, and performance. For many viewers, it was the first time names like Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, Marquis de Lafayette, and John Laurens felt like real people instead of distant figures from a classroom lesson. The production became a cultural phenomenon almost immediately. Songs from the soundtrack spread through streaming services, classrooms, social media, and family living rooms. Teachers used clips from the musical to introduce historical topics. Students memorized lyrics about cabinet debates and the early financial system of the United States. Suddenly, conversations about the founding period were happening far outside traditional history circles. As America prepares for its 250th anniversary, an important question naturally follows: How historically accurate is Hamilton? The answer is both yes and no...

The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: Wheat KingsA campfire singalong that's secretly about a wrongful conviction, a cassette thrown out a car window, and a tiny Eiffel Tower in Saskatchewan.EPISODE SUMMARY This week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream, the wheel landed on 'Wheat Kings', and I had a couple of Andrews riding shotgun to break it down. This is the song the whole country sings around a campfire without ever clocking that it's about David Milgaard, wrongfully convicted of the murder of Gail Miller and imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit.Andrew from Winnipeg brought the timeline receipts (Kim Campbell, the CBC, the wild detail that Milgaard walked free in April 1992, months before "Fully Completely" even dropped) plus a story about his mom chucking the cassette out the car window somewhere in the Alberta mountains. Andrew from Tampa brought the live recording from The Fillmore, October 24, 2000, and the case for 'Wheat Kings' as a pure summertime staple. We get into the loon that cost the band a donation to Ducks Unlimited, the Zippo lighter, Paris of the Prairies (and the 28-foot Eiffel Tower in Montmartre, Saskatchewan). If you love The Tragically Hip, Gord Downie, and a Canadian rock podcast that treats a deep cut like it earns the attention, this one runs deep.GUESTSAndrew from Tampa joined by audio through a Florida thunderstorm and came armed with the Fillmore recording that scored tonight's listen. A devoted Hip fan stateside, he makes the case for the band as a summertime constant and named 'Emperor Penguin' as his favourite album-closer, a song he rations for the days he really needs it.Andrew from Winnipeg is a setlist.fm obsessive, a Crooked Ice bandmate (their album release show is June 4), and host of the weekly Radiohead deep-dive podcast Head Full of Radio.

Today's book lover is seeking a literary doorway into the creative world of art and museums. Kristine Parsons doesn't have an art background. She works as a county road commission manager in Michigan, yet she is fascinated by art and museums, and finds herself drawn to immersive and engaging stories that incorporate one or both elements into the story. Kristine loves to travel and visit museums in person, but her day-to-day life between work and two active pre-teens means that in this season, these visits are more likely to occur on the page. Today, Kristine and Anne explore stories featuring art and the creative process. If Anne has recommendations that are actually set in museums, well, so much the better. We'd love to hear your ideas for Kristine, too: please tell us by leaving a comment on our show notes page, where you'll also find the list of titles mentioned today. That's at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/527. We're so happy to announce that our long-awaited MMD sorority style sweatshirt is available for pre-order. A mid-weight Comfort Colors crew, choose from two shades: a soft blue called blue jean and a soft red called crimson. Both feature an MMD applique in deep navy. These are cute and comfortable, and our team is excited to wear them on cool summer nights and into the colder months of the year. We also have a new hat style and other restocked favorites: find everything at modernmrsdarcy.com/shop.

Great museums can drive tourism, and the Bay Area has no shortage of world class institutions. But museums everywhere are facing rising costs, declining fundraising support, and lower attendance. Last month, the Cal Academy of Sciences laid off more than fifty employees. Yet, public support for museums remains high, museums' clientele has steadily diversified and many museums are managing to do well. With summer around the corner, we'll check in on the state of Bay Area museums. Guests: Lori Fogarty, executive director, Oakland Museum of California Dr. Soyoung Lee, The Barbara Bass Bakar Director and CEO, Asian Art Museum Sarah Hotchkiss, senior editor, KQED Arts & Culture Laura Zander, chief growth and operating officer, Exploratorium Teddy Vollman, chapter president, CalAcademy Workers United Learn more about your ad choices.
