In this solo episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we examine the American withdrawal from Iraq – the product of Trump's war with Iran, and a strategic defeat of historic proportions.Iraq has been enormously important to the United States since the end of the Cold War. It has served multiple strategic, foreign policy and domestic purposes. Its loss – the effective expulsion of American power from the country – is an epic disaster unfolding in slow motion. It doesn't look like the British retreat from Afghanistan in the 1840s, but it is a catastrophe nonetheless.The war against Iran has achieved the opposite of everything it intended. It has cost America its bases in the Persian Gulf. It has empowered the Houthi rebels in Yemen and threatened control of the Red Sea. It has surrendered the Straits of Hormuz. It has alienated the Gulf states and the Saudis. And now it has forced a strategic withdrawal from Iraq.We trace the long history of American involvement in Iraq – from the use of Saddam Hussein as a bulwark against revolutionary Iran and the Soviet Union, through the first Gulf War and the brutal sanctions regime that followed, to the catastrophic invasion of 2003. We examine the decision not to overthrow Saddam in 1991, the disbandment of the Iraqi army, the failure to understand Iraq's ethnic and religious divisions, and the looting of the National Museum – met with Rumsfeld's infamous remark that "freedom is messy."Drawing on John Gray's critique of liberal interventionism, we consider the argument that there are things worse than tyranny – and that what replaced Saddam's Leviathan was anarchy, a condition that elements of the American right seemed actively to welcome.The withdrawal from Iraq is not the orderly dismantling of empire. It is a rout – and what replaces American influence will almost certainly be Iranian. Trump has defeated his own country.Topics covered:The American withdrawal from IraqThe war against Iran and its strategic consequencesIraq as a Cold War client stateThe first Gulf War and the sanctions regimeThe 2003 invasion and its catastrophic aftermathThe disbandment of the Iraqi armyThe looting of the National MuseumJohn Gray on tyranny and anarchyThe rise of Iranian influence in IraqIf you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us – we are migrating from Patreon to Substack.

So much mystery has surrounded the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base since it's inception. Founded on land dating back to 1841 where the Arnold Family lived to 1905 when the Wright Brothers test flew Wright Flyer III, the land was officially established as the Air Force Base during World War I. Since then to now, there have been accounts of UFOs reported in Project Blue Book, aliens being kept in the infamous Hanger 18 and paranormal activity mostly in the National Museum of the US Air Force where 4 hangers of aircrafts have so much death surrounding them, from war to even a presidential assassination. Tonight we will talk about all of that including the time the show Ghost Hunters was given Pentagon clearance to investigate!

Guldpalmsbelönade ”Fjord” av Cristian Mungiu bygger på ett verkligt fall i Norge, där fem barn omhändertogs från en norsk-rumänsk familj när skolan misstänkte att de blev slagna. Är det en film om kulturkrockar eller ett vapen i kulturkriget? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. MÖTE MED ”FJORD”-REGISSÖREN CRISTIAN MUNGIUDen verkliga historien bakom ”Fjord” ledde till protester i Rumänien men också bland kristna runt om i världen. Och det är ett mönster som har upprepat sig, med demonstrationer och kampanjer, efter andra uppmärksammade fall i Danmark, Tyskland och Sverige. Och det var just kraften i de här berättelserna som gjorde att den prisade regissören Cristian Mungiu ville göra film om ett av fallen. P1 Kulturs Emma Engström träffade honom under ett besök i Stockholm tidigare i veckan.NEDSLAG I DEN NORSKA ”FJORD”-DEBATTENEfter ”Fjord”-premiären i Norge har debattens vågor gått höga: Är det här en film om kulturkrockar eller är filmen rentav ett vapen i kulturkriget mellan liberala och konservativa värderingar? P1 Kulturs Emma Engström ringde upp debattörer från båda sidorna i Norge.FÖRTJÄNAR ”FJORD” SIN GULDPALM?Den har redan fått världens finaste filmpris, Guldpalmen i Cannes, men hur bra är ”Fjord”? P1 Kultur bjöd in kulturredaktionens Nina Asarnoj och Erik Helmerson, tidigare filmkritiker som numera arbetar som ledarskribent på tidningen Dagen, för ett samtal om Cristian Mungius omdebatterade film.”TILL HAVET!” – FRISK LUFT ELLER RUTTNANDE TÅNG?Utställningen ”Till havet!” på Nationalmuseum handlar om den framväxande badturismen från 1870 till 1900-talets mitt – och hur livet vid strandkanten har gestaltats i konsten, utifrån mer än 200 målningar, fotografier, reklamaffischer och historiskt badmode av konstnärer som Claude Monet, Anders Zorn, Peder Severin Krøyer, Sigrid Hjertén, Georgia O'Keeffe och Robert Capa. Hör konstkritikern Sonia Hedstrand om utställningen.ESSÄ: SHORA ESMAILIAN OM KAFFEKRISEMNI Obs essäserie om kaffe är det dags att besöka kaffebönbältet, där klimatförändringarna gör framtiden allt osäkrare för kaffebönderna. Kommer kaffet snart att bli en sällsynt lyx? Det frågar sig författare och kulturjournalisten Shora Esmailian.Programledare: Emma EngströmProducent: Henrik Arvidsson

Matthew Campbell is an editor at Bloomberg Businessweek who spent a decade reporting out of Europe before relocating to Singapore, filing from more than twenty-five countries on crime, corruption, terrorism, economics, public health and the environment along the way. He co-broke the investigation into how Goldman Sachs made hundreds of millions of dollars on bond deals with Muammar Gaddafi's Libya while the country lost over a billion, dug into South Africa's Gupta "state capture" scandal, investigated the still-unsolved murder of Canadian pharmaceutical billionaire Barry Sherman, and exposed massive undisclosed methane emissions leaking out of Central Asia's oil and gas fields. He's a seven-time Loeb finalist with honors from the National Press Club, SOPA and SABEW. His new book, The Man Who Stole the Gods, follows the decades-long, industrial-scale looting of ancient Khmer treasures out of Cambodia, and the British art dealer at the centre of it all, Douglas Latchford, who spent fifty years selling stolen antiquities to the world's biggest museums and private collectors on forged provenance nobody bothered to check. We follow the story from Latchford's arrival in 1950s Bangkok, through the horror of the Khmer Rouge and the thirty-year civil war that followed, into the private homes of American billionaires, the boardroom of the Met and even the Jeffrey Epstein files.Link To 'The Man Who Stole the Gods'Link To 'Curious Worldview Substack'Leave a review on Apple or Spotify (nothing does more to help grow the show)It's an enormous pleasure to have spoken with Matt, we discussed...How the story landed on his radar — a stray 2019 headline about a British art dealer indicted for fraud, the detail that he was also the principal financial sponsor of bodybuilding in Southeast Asia, and the COVID delay before he was confident, from his first day reporting in Phnom Penh, that there was a book in itMeeting Brad Gordon, the American lawyer hired by the US Department of Justice who ended up working for the Cambodian government instead — and why Matt built the book around the people chasing the statues rather than the man who stole themWhether the book might push other nations to take looting more seriously, from the century-long fight over the Elgin Marbles to looting still happening today in Iraq, Syria, Sudan and UkraineThe closest historical analogue to Cambodia's scale of loss — Nazi-looted art — and why the Khmer Rouge were "sui generis," even among history's worst regimesLife under Pol Pot: "to keep you is no profit, to destroy you is no loss" — and a regime so absolute it abolished money itself, something not even Stalin or Mao attemptedWhy the Khmer Rouge's brand of communism was so viciously effective and yet, within four years, collapsed like "a house of cards" — at a cost of two million livesDouglas Latchford's arrival in 1950s Bangkok, the CIA-adjacent expat demimonde built around Cold War espionage, and his mentor Jim Thompson — the "Thai Silk King" who vanished without a trace on a walk in Malaysia in 1967The Khmer Empire itself: Angkor at its 12th–13th century peak housing something like 750,000 people against London's 30,000–40,000 — and how little historical record survives because looters don't take notesToek Tik — "Lion" — the Khmer Rouge child soldier turned reluctant executioner turned escapee turned the most prolific looter in Cambodia, and how Brad Gordon spent over a decade coaxing his memories into evidence that kept matching the groundHow Latchford faked provenance — a forged letter from "Ian Donaldson," a man who conveniently died in 2001 but kept "signing" documents into the 2010s — and why almost nobody who saw the paperwork actually believed itWhy Americans developed a taste for Southeast Asian art in the 1960s (the Beatles and the Maharishi, the Hare Krishna movement founded on the Lower East Side) and how that fed straight into 1980s Wall Street fortunesThomas Hoving, the Met director who invented the blockbuster exhibition and corporate sponsorship as we know them — and the Met's refusal to sit for an interview or meaningfully engage with the bookTracing the loot today — an anonymous Architectural Digest spread, and how Jeffrey Epstein's email archive surfaced financier Leon Black's roughly $30 million in Cambodian purchasesArt as a money-laundering vehicle: Latchford's Jersey trusts, the push to finally bring art dealers under the Bank Secrecy Act, and Oliver Bullough's estimate that up to 70% of the secondhand watch trade may be laundering in disguiseWhether large-scale looting still happens — Cambodia's temples are effectively "cleaned out," but Sudan's National Museum lost more than 60% of its collection when the RSF took Khartoum in 2023Closing questions: which empty ancient civilisation he'd walk through if he could (Cambodia, then Mexico) — and the role serendipity has played in every story he's ever chasedCurious Worldview (catalogue connections to this ep)The blurbs made flesh — Matt name-checks both journalists who blurbed his book in conversation: Oliver Bullough, on his new book Everybody Loves Our Dollars and the eye-watering share of the secondhand watch and handbag trade that's really laundering, and Zeke Faux, whose Number Go Up mapped the same "value is whatever somebody says it is" logic onto crypto.The most important crime in the world — Matt's line that no significant criminal enterprise works without laundering its proceeds sits right alongside Nathan Lynch on why Australia became a laundering haven almost by accident.The exploited periphery — the scam compounds in Cambodia and Myanmar that come up near the end are Matt Friedman's exact territory, and Toek Tik — paid a pittance to dig up gods worth millions abroad — is a museum-world version of the same economy.The lone crusader — Brad Gordon spending over a decade, likely the rest of his life, chasing looted statues with no real system built to do it, echoes Bill Browder turning Sergei Magnitsky's death into a one-man campaign.Timestamps... 00:00 — Intro 02:04 — How the story found him 04:42 — Could this book push other nations to take looting seriously? 07:21 — Nazi-looted art as the closest analogue; why the

GB2RS News Sunday, the 27th of October 2026 The news headlines: Entry to the RSGB 2027 Construction Competition is now open!  RadCom from the 1990s is now available in the RSGB app One week left to buy your RSGB Convention ticket The Society is pleased to have launched the RSGB 2027 Construction Competition. This is a fantastic opportunity for RSGB members, wherever they are in the world, to get involved in designing and building. Whether you're looking for an outlet for your creativity, wanting a fresh challenge to work on in your spare time or simply looking for the motivation to finish a homebrew project you have already started, the RSGB Construction Competition is the perfect excuse. Are you looking to inspire others to get involved in amateur radio? If so, our two more recent categories, Reimagination and Outreach, are the ideal way. Overall, there are seven different judging categories, so there really is something for everyone. Whether you're a newcomer to amateur radio, a serial constructor, or want to push yourself in a new direction, be it software or hardware – it's time to get those construction ideas flowing! Cash prizes will be awarded to winners and runners up, and entry is open until the 1st of March 2027. Full details of the competition and inspiration from previous years' entrants can be found via rsgb.org/construction-competition  The Society has just released an additional set of RadCom back issues to the RSGB app, available for the web and on mobile devices. RSGB members can now browse all the editions from January 1990 through to December 1999. This creates an even more valuable resource of amateur radio publications for members, who now can enjoy over 425 editions of RadCom. If you haven't explored the RSGB app recently, visit rsgb.org/radcom  to get started. Attending the RSGB 2026 Convention gives you access to knowledge, learning and networking opportunities that aren't available at any other event in the UK this year. The extensive programme includes expert speakers such as Heather Nickalls, M0HMO; Brian Coleman, G4NNS; Steven Dodd, M0SNZ; and Peter Duffet-Smith, GM3XJE, to name just a few. You can view the full programme, including lectures that are being delivered as part of the AMSAT-UK Colloquium, by going to rsgb.org/convention  If you are a younger radio amateur, you'll find a series of youth-specific events including a series of lightning talks, a youth POTA activation and a youth dinner on the Saturday evening. For radio amateurs looking to start the weekend festivities early, you have a number of activities to take part in on Friday the 9th of October, from visiting the National Museum of Computing to joining an amateur radio pub-style quiz in the conference centre bar in the evening. You'll find details of all these activities, plus more, on the RSGB Convention web pages. Online ticketing closes at 9am on Monday the 5th of October so make sure you buy your ticket to guarantee your place.

The next RSGB Tonight@8 webinar is by the Society's Maker Champion Tom Wardill, M9TWM on Monday the 5th of October. Tom believes that amateur radio has never been in such a good place in terms of the availability of tools, supplies, and connections. He will give you a quick guide on what is available to the average home user, from SMT components and PCB fabs to 3D-printed cases, or to test equipment that was only available to IBM and HP just a few years ago. He'll discuss where to look, how to source, and how to get help with the tools you need to make the projects that you've written off as too complicated. You can join the livestream via the RSGB YouTube channel and special BATC channel, allowing you to watch and ask questions online.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Wednesday the 23rd of September 2026. As we head towards the end of September, we are seeing daytime maximum usable frequencies, or MUFs, starting to climb. The daytime MUF over 3,000km is reaching 12m and is just touching 10m at times. Within a few weeks we can expect it to reach 10m on a regular basis, perhaps bringing transatlantic QSOs to 28MHz once again. Meanwhile, we can make the most of the openings on the 17, 15 and 12m bands, which are showing promise with increasing propagation to Asia, North Africa, South Africa and South America. The solar flux index is hanging in there. Last week it fell to 96 but then rebounded back into the low 100s. There are currently eight sunspot groups visible on the Sun. The good news is that geomagnetic conditions have been calm, with the Kp index mostly in the ones and twos. That could soon change, however, thanks to a large coronal hole on the Sun's surface. These are dark, cool and less dense regions in the Sun's outer atmosphere, when viewed in ultraviolet, with open magnetic field lines. This one stretches from the solar equator to its pole. There are also two coronal holes following it, which may cause more problems. With the equinox, we often see more auroral activity, due to the Earth-Sun alignment and the Russell-McPherron effect. Once auroral conditions clear, the Kp index should return to normal, with a Kp of 2 predicted from Monday the 28th of September onwards. The solar flux index may even improve slightly, with a forecast solar flux index of 115 towards the end of the month. Make the most of the HF conditions by working one of the DX stations on the air. You can choose from 5W0AF in Samoa; JD1BON and friends on the Ogasawara Islands; OX3LX in Greenland; FR/F1TEQ and FH/F1TEQ from Reunion and Mayotte; and 8Q7JH operating from the Maldives. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO Recently, the overall characteristic of the weather in southern areas has been one of high pressure, giving some occasional tropo. This region of high pressure will drift away by this weekend as a deep low over the northern Atlantic drives a weakening cold front south, so any major tropo will probably not survive into the coming week. The rest of the period looks generally unsettled. The northern half of Britain will have the more active part of any weather system crossing the country and therefore will also have a better chance of some rain scatter on the GHz bands. This time of the year we often get some very active Atlantic storms. Although they may not cross the UK directly, they may be close enough for severe gales and damaging winds in north western areas by the middle of the coming week. It is a good time to make sure your antenna guys are in good shape and keep an eye on the forecasts. There are no major meteor showers in the period so, once again, any activity is likely to be random, and this is typically best in the hours just before dawn. The prospect for auroras is a little more interesting since we are now just past the equinox of the 22nd of September. It's a preferential time to be alert for auroras due to the way the Earth's magnetic field aligns better with the Sun's magnetic field. This makes it easier for the solar wind to get through and create auroras. EME now, and Moon declination went positive at Moonset on Friday the 25th of September. This means we'll see lengthening Moon windows and higher peak Moon elevation into the coming week. Path losses continue to fall. 144MHz sky noise starts the week low, increasing to moderate by Friday the 2nd of October. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

NMAAHC is celebrating its 10th anniversary and to commemorate the decade, the museum will host a number of events under the theme “The Reunion: Welcome Home Our Legacy Continues.”

What happens when a lifelong obsession with swords, history and making things turns into a career spanning Hollywood, television and now YouTube?In this episode of The Commentary Booth, Jamie Apps sits down with historic weapons recreation specialist and longtime Forged In Fire judge David Baker for a wide-ranging conversation about three decades in bladesmithing, the rollercoaster rise and quiet end of one of TV's most beloved competition shows, and the passion project that's picking up where it left off: Baker's Blades.David takes Jamie behind the scenes of his extraordinary creative journey, from teaching actors how to sword fight and building theatrical weapons for film and television, to recreating some of history's most fascinating blades.Jamie and David also look back at the rise of Forged in Fire, from what was originally intended to be a 10-episode run to a series that eventually stretched across 11 seasons of production. David discusses what made the show so special, the incredible bladesmiths he encountered, the realities of filming a competition involving live weapons, and why the show's cancellation was a disappointing casualty of network mergers.But the conversation is really about what comes next.David reveals the story behind Baker's Blades, a project that had been in his mind for years before finally becoming reality. The new series combines historic weapons, hands-on recreation, travel, motorcycles and the stories behind the objects themselves. Its first episode follows David's recreation of Cornwallis's Surrender Sword, a project that came together through an unexpected opportunity involving the National Museum of the United States Army.David also explains why Baker's Blades isn't simply another forging show. For him, the journey matters just as much as the weapon. He wants to take viewers to the places where history happened, uncover stories that have been forgotten, and show how historic weapons can provide a doorway into the people, places and events surrounding them.And because this is The Commentary Booth, the conversation eventually comes back to the creative process itself and David's philosophy of "fail big"!Whether you're a Forged in Fire diehard, a history nerd, or just someone who loves hearing a craftsman talk about their craft, this is a Commentary Booth episode unlike any other.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

President Donald Trump is urging the Smithsonian Institution to replace the longtime “Infinity” sculpture outside the National Museum of American History with a 30-foot statue of George Washington. Trump says the monument would better honor America’s founding and has also proposed a multi-year exhibit dedicated to Washington ahead of his 300th birthday.

On Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese forces attacked the U.S. Naval Station at Pearl Harbor. During that chaotic scene, a Black sailor named Doris “Dorie” Miller shot down a Japanese plane and saved an untold number of lives. Doris Miller's actions were particularly heroic, given the fact that the Navy's racist policies barred him from serving in a combat role. In fact, he'd only been trained to serve food. For decades, people have fought for Doris Miller to get the recognition that he deserves. The government has been slow to recognize his heroism. But, a few years ago, the acting Secretary of the Navy announced that a future aircraft carrier would be named the USS Doris Miller (CVN-81). Last month, CNN reported that the White House might rescind that decision – opting to name it the USS Donald Trump instead. Needless to say, Normie C had some thoughts about that. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

Welcome, friends!Why do we LOVE female rage when it's on a screen, hanging in a museum, or packaged into the perfect TikTok edit, yet become deeply uncomfortable when real women get angry?In this episode, we explore the aesthetics of female rage, from the pressure to remain beautiful and agreeable to the racial stereotypes and double standards that shape how women's anger is perceived. We look at what happens when women swallow their anger, what happens when they finally explode, and why female fury can become so compelling when it's transformed into art, literature and pop culture. And what if rage isn't always an explosion? Sometimes, it simply says: ENOUGH.Are. You. Ready?****************Sources & Further Reading:Brescoll, Victoria L., and Eric Luis Uhlmann.

This week, Smithsonian Institution Secretary Lonnie Bunch announced his retirement after a nearly four decade affiliation with its network and ending his seven year tenure as the first African American and first Historian to lead the institution founded in 1848. A decade ago this month, the National Museum of African American History and Culture opened. Bunche's efforts leading both institutions provide a lens through which to consider ongoing contests over relationships between integrating various national identities into larger Social Structures of state affiliation, citizenship and belonging.In an era where white nationalist nativism in the United States increasingly aligns with global white supremacist political movements, Bunch's structural attempts to integrate various competing narratives of collective memory often inflamed U.S. white nationalist ideologues and extremists determined to use high-stakes cultural battlegrounds to cement an emerging minority rule.This collision of narrative and space echoes Paul Goldberger's recent reflection on the World Trade Center's 25th anniversary in The New York Times, where he observed, "You can destroy something in an instant, but it will take a generation to rebuild it, and even then it cannot ever be the same."The Africana Studies Framework allows us to examine both competing ideas of Governance and underlying Social Structures in which they exist. How do we recognize both interpretive differences and undeniable realities? How can we use Movement and Memory to build self-determining Governance formations? And what can and will emerge in the wake of a shifting world system?Are you a member of Knarrative? If not, we invite you to join our community today by signing up at: https://www.knarrative.com.

The National Museum of Forest Service History has a new center at its 31-acre campus in Missoula. It's an immersive "forest of stories" honoring the legacy of conservation in the U.S..

The story of September 11 didn't end when the attacks were over. Recovery, rebuilding and remembrance became part of the nation's response as well. A new exhibit at the National Museum of the United States Army focuses on the lesser-known role the Army Corps of Engineers played in those efforts. Joining me with more on the exhibit and this anniversary is museum director Paul Morando.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) sit down with advertising veteran and author Mark Robinson to discuss his book Pitch Black: The Best Black Ads of the Past Fifty Plus Years. Robinson explains how he assembled a panel of Black creative directors, each assigned a specific decade, to select the ads that shaped the book rather than choosing them himself. The conversation traces a three-decade evolution in Black consumer advertising, from 1950s ad-buy inclusion that funded publications like Ebony and Jet, through 1960s representation demands, into the 1970s Black pride movement that gave rise to Black-owned agencies such as Procter and Gardner. Robinson also shares his hopes for the book's future, including an exhibit at the National Museum of African American History and Culture and a possible PBS documentary, and mentions that historian Henry Louis Gates has read and supported the project.The trivia round covers Pepsi-Cola's 1940 Negro Markets Department, the surprising role of Black-owned VJ Records in bringing the Beatles' music to America ahead of Capitol Records, Coca-Cola's "Hilltop" commercial and its songwriter Roquel "Billy" Davis, and the real woman behind Aunt Jemima, Nancy Green. That trivia leads into a broader discussion of how platforms like Disney Plus handle older, racially outdated content such as Song of the South and Aristocats. They also run a Star Trek-themed matchup covering Benjamin Sisko, Michael Burnham, Nyota Uhura, Guinan, Geordi La Forge, B'Elanna Torres, Worf, and Tuvok, weighing each character's place in the franchise's history of representation. The episode closes with a candid Big Mad segment touching on ICE and immigration coverage, before Robinson points people toward his book and his website, markrobinson-writing.com.Connect with the Snerdy CrewWatch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy⁠⁠⁠⁠

On the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Inside the Castle pauses to honor the nearly 3,000 precious lives lost and the unimaginable courage of the first responders who ran toward the danger. In this solemn episode, podcast hosts Reagan Lauritzen and Amy Snively talk with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Historian Dr. John Lonnquest and USACE Curator Eric Reinert to reflect on USACE's rapid mobilization and the sacred duty of preserving that history. The discussion covers the critical, behind-the-scenes engineering efforts at the Pentagon and Ground Zero—from structural triage and environmental remediation to the painstaking debris recovery mission. The episode also highlights an incredible, lesser-known story of immediate response: amid the chaos, USACE boat crews from the Caven Point Marine Terminal in NJ shuttled thousands of stranded citizens across the Hudson River to safety, returning with critical fuel and supplies for the fireboats and emergency responders on station. Finally, the episode explores how the USACE Office of History has preserved these memories, featuring a selection of artifacts collected by the Office of History. These artifacts are now part of the “Steel and Stone: Engineering the Response to 9/11” exhibit at the National Museum of the United States Army. To read more about USACE's response and other significant events in the organization's history, read "The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: An Illustrated History, 1775-2025," and "Continuing the Mission: A History of the New York District from 1975-2005."

A vision board is not simply a collection of dreams—it can be a practical tool for expanding your thinking, clarifying your goals, and recognizing opportunities you may otherwise overlook. In this episode of Business First with Sonia Alleyne, Sharon A. Keyser returns to the show to discuss how the creativity she strengthened during the pandemic has blossomed into a new collection of digital vision boards, affirmations, power words, and personal-growth resources. Sharon shares how vision boards have influenced her own entrepreneurial journey. After placing the National Museum of African American History and Culture on her board, she remained persistent until her SK Creations products were accepted into the museum store. Later, a desire to expand beyond the Washington, D.C. market opened doors to New York Fashion Week and eventually international fashion shows. The conversation explores why manifestation must be accompanied by commitment, how smaller steps can lead to opportunities bigger than the original goal, and why the path from Point A to Point Z rarely happens in one leap. Sharon also explains how her editable, word-focused digital vision boards make it easier to keep goals visible, update them as life changes, and carry that vision wherever you go. From remembering that “The Universe Is Not on a Budget” to making time for what brings you joy and refusing to shrink in unfamiliar rooms, this episode is a reminder to think bigger, remain open, and never be afraid to take up space.

For decades, Africa has too often been viewed through the narrow lenses of crisis, conflict, and poverty. But today's guest has spent a lifetime making the case that the continent is far more accurately understood as a place of extraordinary opportunity, innovation, diplomacy, and global importance. Joining me is Witney Schneidman—former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs during the Clinton Administration, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, founder of an Africa-focused consulting practice, board member of the Corporate Council on Africa, and advisory board member of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art. In his new memoir, This Africa Idea: A Memoir of Discovery, Diplomacy, and Opportunity, Schneidman reflects on a career that placed him at the center of pivotal moments in modern African history—from South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy and the peace process in Angola to the creation of the African Growth and Opportunity Act, one of the most significant U.S.-Africa trade initiatives in history. Today we'll discuss diplomacy, economic development, leadership, entrepreneurship, and why Africa's future matters more than ever—not only to Africans, but to the entire world.

Have you been longing for a trip to Leathersby?  Well, Ann Swindell promises to take you there AND reveal what a hundred years has hidden in her upcoming release, Secrets in the Castle Library. Listen in for all the news! note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. Love that we talked about stereotypes and how they relate to our pasts and when they don't.  Also love how she focused on sanctification of believers who don't know how that's going to look.  Don't miss how she talks about how God has a great ending for each of our stories. Secrets in the Castle Library by Ann Swindell The past year of Melanie Tallebois's life has unraveled, both professionally and personally. Usually unflappable, she can't understand why life isn't going to plan. So when she's offered a professorship at the University of Lethersby, she seizes it as her chance to find the happiness that has eluded her for as long as she can remember. The fact that her best friend is the nation's princess and has invited her to live in the castle for the summer doesn't hurt, either. The only thing eluding Eddie Canon are answers. As director of the National Museum of Lethersby, he's spent years chasing the truth behind Queen Alma's disappearance over a century ago. Now, tasked by the royals to tie up the loose ends of the national mystery, he's studying in the castle library and still coming up empty-handed. The last person Eddie wants to work with is Melanie, who inserts herself into his research—and his life. She's brash, annoying, forthright…and altogether brilliant. Eddie thinks it wise to push her away, but as the research continues to stall, he can't ignore that their friendship has begun to blossom. When the long-lost queen's mysteries finally come to light, Melanie is plunged into darkness—and Eddie questions everything he thought he understood about faith and love. Together, they must uncover the secrets in the castle library and decide whether they're willing to trust God with a story far greater than their own.

This episode explores Dr. Corinne Kratz (Emory University) 's latest monograph, Rhetorics of Value (Duke University Press 2025) "In Rhetorics of Value, Corinne A. Kratz explores how exhibition design creates and conveys values that have the potential to touch, educate, and engage visitors. Drawing on case studies from the Victoria and Albert Museum, museums in South Africa and Kenya, a Hawaiian resort hotel, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, among others, Kratz shows how exhibits help shape and narrate cultural categories, values, and histories while provoking questions and evoking memories and experiences. She crosses contexts to consider ethnographic, history, and art exhibits in national and community museums and other display settings. Through these examples, Kratz traces how exhibition designers combine objects, texts, images, lighting, audio, space, and narratives to craft a complex, multilayered communicative form that visitors experience as they move through museums. By investigating the relationship between audience reception and exhibition design strategies, Kratz contends that through design, exhibits can shape the ways we know, the stories we tell, and our contours of meaning and engagement."

Paid subscribers also get access to our CUJOPLEX Discord and The Weather Report, a monthly episode series where we take stock of where the cultural winds are blowing and tell you what's rained into our brains. Catch last month's episode, where we dig into the rise of “waiting-in-line culture” in cities across America, the Spotify vs. Kalshi saga, Lebron James' post-factual free agency, and more.Hi pals. While we're off on vacation this week, we decided to do something a little different for this week's show.If you checked out last month's Weather Report, you probably heard that Andrea recently had the opportunity to participate in a multimedia installation at LA's National Museum of the Aftermath called “California Gothic” that dives into the question of what Los Angeles, and the lives of those who live there, will look like after collapse.The project is the brainchild of Gina Delvac and James Kim, two of the most creative minds working in audio storytelling today. For “California Gothic,” they commissioned audio creators, journalists, writers, and artists (Andrea included) to imagine a future where their favorite place in Los Angeles no longer exists, and then to create a speculative audio story about it — short prose, an intimate fiction scene, an ambient piece, or something surreal that doesn't fall into any of those. They ask: What memories reverberate from this place? What memories can still be heard? What have we lost?While “California Gothic” was (at the time anyway) a one-off event, we were so moved by the vision and creativity of these experimental pieces – which range from sound collages, to surrealist scifi, to letters from future selves – that we thought it would make for a sweet summer treat to feature them here on CUJO.Today's episode features six of those pieces, each imagining a different place in Los Angeles as remembered in a post-apocalyptic future. But first, Gina joins us for a quick chat about the meaning of “California Gothic,” why spoken audio should be recognized as an art form as much as a commercial output, and what's in store for the project beyond “California Gothic.” If you have ideas or want to get involved with future iterations of the project, reach out to Gina at gdelvac@gmail.com California GothicCuratorsGina Delvac is a native Angelena and podcast showrunner, audio creator, and curator.

There are many reasons why Roger Casement is a significant figure in Irish history, but one lesser talked about aspect of his life are his zoological exploits. While travelling in Africa and South America, he sent preserved and live specimens back to Ireland…Aidan O'Hanlon, Curator of Entomology at the National Museum of Ireland, joins Seán to discuss.

Welcome back to Extraordinary Creatives. Today's guest is the remarkable Simone Brewster. Simone is an artist whose work moves between sculpture, painting, jewellery, furniture, architecture, and public installation. On paper those disciplines might seem worlds apart, but beneath them all is one beautifully consistent line of enquiry.  Simone creates what she calls intimate architectures: objects and spaces that shape how we feel, how we connect and how we experience belonging. Drawing on Black diasporic histories, architecture, material culture and memory, her work feels both timeless and unmistakably contemporary. You may have seen her exhibition at the Design Museum in London, or her work in the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C. In this conversation we talk about growing up in London, finding your creative handwriting, why making bad work is essential to making great work, and how to balance self-initiated projects with commissions, jewellery with public spaces, and creativity with business. KEY TAKEAWAYS So many creatives end up defining themselves by what they make, when actually it's the enquiry underneath the work that matters most. If you stay true to that, your work can evolve across disciplines whilst still feeling unmistakably yours. Developing your creative handwriting means accepting that bad work will sit alongside the good. Not as a failure, but as a necessary part of the line of enquiry that makes the work unmistakably yours. Creativity and commerce aren't opposing forces. Learning how to build a business around your creativity gives your practice the time, space, and stability it needs to flourish - creating the conditions for your best work to exist. BEST MOMENTS “The difference isn't whether you make bad work. It's whether you're willing to keep going, learn from it and make the next piece.” “You never know who is watching you….do the work - share the work.” "Your peers are going to be one of the most valuable resources you ever have." “That cultivation, staying connected to your true fans, your champions, is one of the best things you could be doing.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/Simonebrewster_london/ https://www.simonebrewster.co.uk/Sign up for Simone's newsletter here / https://mailchi.mp/simonebrewster/welcome-and-subscribe PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Every year, fragments of long-lost ships wash ashore on Irish beaches. They are remnants of the thousands of shipwrecks scattered around our coast, dating from Prehistory to the Second World War. Each wreck has a fascinating story from how they went down to their rediscovery often centuries later. In this episode, I speak with Dublin Port Heritage Director Lar Joye at a new exhibition exploring the shipwrecks of Dublin Bay. Our conversation explores several disasters including the famous cases of the Leinster, the Dorset and the Tayleur.We discuss the stories behind these ships, why shipwrecks were so common in the past and why fragments of wrecks continue to wash ashore today. Visit the exhibition: https://www.dublinport.ie/shipwrecks-of-dubln-bay-exhibition-at-the-substation/ Upcoming events at the Substation:https://www.dublinport.ie/heritage-week/ My guest, Lar Joye, has served as Port Heritage Director at Dublin Port since 2017. He cares for the 300-year-old Port Archive and leads projects reconnecting the working port with the city through heritage, culture and public access. Before joining Dublin Port, Lar worked as a film archivist and as Curator of Irish Military History at the National Museum of Ireland. There he led the team behind the award-winning Soldiers & Chiefs exhibition which explores the history of Irish soldiers at home and abroad from 1550 to the present.

What happens when a government decides that one of the greatest threats to its future isn't an armed force — but a cultural institution?On July 4th, America's 250th birthday, the White House Domestic Policy Council released a 162-page report accusing the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History of "ideological capture." Twenty days later, the President signed a second executive order directing federal agencies to force the museum to change how it tells the country's story. Host Bill Cleveland lays out the specifics: the named exhibits, the named staff, the quiet stall in confirming new members of the Smithsonian's governing board — and asks what it means when a nation stops trusting itself to hold a complicated history.Drawing on decades of work with artists in Serbia, Cambodia, Northern Ireland, and Watts, California, and revisiting labor leader Ken Grossinger's conversation about Bryan Stevenson's Legacy Sites in Montgomery Alabama, Cleveland makes the case that culture is never a side issue. Authoritarian movements go after artists first, not for their political power, but because artists shape imagination itself. This episode is about why museums, memorials, and community art aren't warehouses of old objects, but living civic spaces where democracy is practiced, one story at a time.In this episode we explore:How an government report, an executive order, and a quiet stall in board appointments aren't three separate stories, they're one strategy for defining and controlling America's history moving through official channels.Why authoritarian movements attack culture first because stories shape what people believe is possible, before governments can control people, they go for the imagination.Democracy isn't only a system to defend; it's a creative practice — rehearsed in murals, story circles, museums, and neighborhood theater as much as in legislatures.If this show sparks your curiosity we invite you to visit this ART IS CHANGE Collection: Art In Action: Stories of Artists Making a Difference in These Tumultuous TimesNotable Mentions People• Lonnie G.

In This Episode: Honoring the Pause: Opening with a moment of silence to ground ourselves in breath, ancestral wisdom, and intentionality before diving into today's conversation. Opening Prayer We pause to honor the breath that sustains us and the silence that clears the way. We step into this space rooted in ancient wisdom, shielded against distraction, and undisturbed in our purpose. As we open these pages and engage these ideas, grant us the clarity to discern signal from static. May the words we explore serve as tools for liberation, strengthening our minds, nourishing our bodies, and fortifying our community. We give thanks for the privilege of focus, the wealth of knowledge, and the sanctuary of this circle. Rooted. Shielded. Undisturbed. Amen.   Grief, Joy & Creation: A personal reflection on navigating deep loss—grieving the passing of Ethel and my mother—while wrestling with imposter syndrome, finding solace in music, and celebrating life's small wins. The whitewashing of The Handmaid's Tale: A critical breakdown of how Gilead's post-racial casting erases the historical, racialized nature of reproductive control. We explore how white feminist dystopian tropes flatten intersectionality by repackaging the real-world historical oppressions of Black and Indigenous women into a speculative warning for white women. Literary Sovereignty & Counter-Narratives: Shifting the focus to works that center true resilience—examining Octavia Butler's speculative genius and Louise Erdrich's Future Home of the Living God as living records of Indigenous sovereignty and Black survival. Reclaiming the Archive: Why we must control our own narratives rather than relying on white savior tropes, highlighting institutions like the NMAAHC and NMAI that preserve real-world history over fictional panic. Perimeter Defense & Modern Vigilance: Drawing parallels between military readiness and civilian life—protecting our minds, digital spaces, and communities from scams, educational exploitation, and modern trickery through strict boundaries and active situational awareness. Pop Culture Round-Up: Quick takes on the latest season of Real Housewives of Orange County, the messy execution of Ladies of OC, why Carlos King's commentary remains elite, and a quick sports stat correction on William Jackson III's roster status with the Steelers. Resources & Mentions: Books: Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich; speculative works by Octavia Butler. Cultural Institutions: National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). What are your thoughts on this week's discussion?

Three thousand years ago, prehistoric Scotland was a landscape of rival communities, raids and warfare. Bands of warriors fought for power and territory leaving behind extraordinary weapons that reveal a more violent side to Scotland's ancient past.In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr Matthew Knight, Senior Curator of Prehistory at the National Museum of Scotland, to explore Scotland's first warriors. Who were these Bronze Age fighters? What did their weapons reveal about their status and identity? And how did warfare shape life in prehistoric Scotland?MOREThe Ancients is now on YouTube!

Episode No. 770 features former museum director,  former Association of Art Museum Directors president, and Souls Grown Deep president Maxwell L. Anderson, and Oakland Museum of California director Lori Fogarty. With the Trump administration and its Congressional allies having threatened, diminished, or attacked national cultural institutions such as the National Gallery of Art, the Kennedy Center, and increasingly the Smithsonian Institution, Anderson discusses whether the sector's response to government hostility has been appropriate. The first, and perhaps only museum to speak out after the most recent Trump administration attacks on Smithsonian museums and the directors was the Japanese American National Museum, Los Angeles. (JANM will be hosting National Museum of American History director Anthea Hartig, the director the administration has most recently attacked, for a live program on August 22.) The Association of Art Museum Directors has not spoken about administration attacks on federal museum institutions since this December 2025 statement. The American Alliance of Museums "condemned" the Trump administrations attacks nearly two weeks after JANM issued its statement. Read and/or subscribe to Anderson's Art Scoping Substack. Museums also do internal work to meet our moment. Fogarty joins the program to discuss how museums and their staffs best work within their community and in ways that advance their communities values, especially in ways that go beyond narrow, essentializing approaches to administration, exhibitions, and more. Read Fogarty's recent The Art Newspaper op-ed, "Museums are civic institutions. It's time we acted like it." Air date: August 6, 2026.

July 27, 2026The administration is attempting to rewrite the history of the US, It argues that the US was founded as a white nation, an echo of 1930s German ideology, The White House issued a report saing that the National Museum of American History “fails in the basic task of illuminating our heritage,” The report attacks the Museum's director and its staff, A nakedly political document, the report advances Trump's belief that the Smithsonian has an improper ideology, The report was meant to create a straw man for MAGA supporters to hate, Proposed signage creates a hostile atmosphere, as does harassment of tour guides and others associated with historic sites, Without accuracy, we will learn the wrong information about history and about whether this country was founded on race and land or, as the Founders said, principles and the rule of law.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

**This episode is unedited due to time constraints. In one twenty-four hour period, this administration signed an executive order to install warning signs on the sidewalk outside the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, because it has no legal authority to touch anything inside the building. The Pentagon's public casualty count for the Iran war read eighteen dead on Wednesday and fourteen on Thursday, after four service members killed in Jordan and Iraq quietly came off the list. The Department of Energy told a federal judge in writing that 284 canceled grants worth roughly $7.5 billion were pulled for one reason and one reason only: the political identity of the recipient's state.That is the whole episode. Not a cover-up. A revision.Robin walks the receipts on all of it: the 162-page White House report that recommended posting a sign over every museum entrance accusing the curators of hating America, the two senior officials who told NBC News that US commanders are now letting some Iranian missiles through because the interceptor supply is running low, and the census rule sitting on a government website that would reclassify millions of legal residents as not living in this country at all.Plus: the worst measles year since 1991 with five months still on the board, a Texas midwife who won her case and lost everything anyway, Hunter Biden's closetocracy argument and why Robin thinks he is right, and the debut of a permanent new segment, the Mitch McConnell counter, currently sitting at forty-one days.Reality Check covers the settler attack on Tal in the occupied West Bank, and then three minutes on why political cartoons are dying at the exact moment a president started putting warning labels on history.Keywords: Smithsonian warning signs executive order, Trump Smithsonian content warnings, Pentagon casualty count Iran war, Operation Epic Fury deaths, Department of Energy grant terminations blue states, 2030 census immigrants apportionment, Cecilia Vega 60 Minutes fired, measles cases 2026 record, Mitch McConnell missingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

Congress just put the Smithsonian director on the hot seat over some of the most ridiculous taxpayer-funded exhibits you'll ever see. Regular Americans take their families to the National Museum of American History expecting the story of our country. Instead, they're finding overtly sexual transgender displays, including content involving kids, and a staff toolkit that flat-out labels politeness and objectivity as white supremacy. House Republicans laid out the photos, the diary entries, and the MASS Action materials in black and white. Nearly a billion dollars a year in public money is flowing into this. The director's answers were pure deflection. This isn't preserving history. It's rewriting it to fit an ideology most parents never signed up for.

The director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History faces a contentious congressional hearing over accusations that the taxpayer-funded institution promotes left-wing ideology and downplays the nation's founding. Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leaves the door open to a 2028 presidential run as her national campaigning and increasingly Obama-like rhetoric fuel speculation. The Pentagon identifies three American soldiers killed in the renewed conflict with Iran as CBS News reports nearly 100 other service members have been injured. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill reveals that a software error improperly registered roughly 6,600 non-citizens to vote, and approximately 400 casting ballots.   Birch Gold: Text MK to 989898 and get your free info kit on gold   Lean: Discover why LEAN is becoming the choice for real weight‑loss results—shop now at https://TAKELEAN.com use code MK.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani admitting he has no power to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, two far-left Dems getting confused over which Jewish Democrat named Josh they were attacking, Texas Rep. Brandon Gill exposing the absurdity of policies at the Smithsonian, and the Trump administration refusing to help the Tate brothers as they face more serious charges.First, they get a kick out of Mayor Mamdani trying to issue a tough denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Betanyahu while feebly admitting what we've always known: He has no power to arrest Netanyahu. Jim wonders if the left enjoys dreaming of things like arresting Netanyahu when they have to know it's never going to happen.Next, they roll their eyes as "Squad" member and Pennsylvania Rep. Summer Lee confuses Democrat New Jersey Rep. Josh Gottheimer with her own governor, Josh Shapiro, in trying to attack Gottheimer because he's critical of the socialist movement trying to take over the party. Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar tried to help Rep. Lee but only ended up adding to their humiliation.Then, they pop the popcorn and enjoy watching Texas Rep. Brandon Gill slice and dice another woke witness in front of Congress. This time National Museum of American History Director Anthea Hartig was forced to answer for the Smithsonian's description/stereotype of white culture, which is indefensibly racist towards non-whites.Finally, they applaud President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for refusing to help the despicable Tate brothers fight extradition to the United Kingdom.Please visit our great sponsors:BetterHelpDon't let stigma stand in the way of support.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we begin with one of our "favorites". Leave it to Representative Jasmine Crockett to be so obsessed with race-baiting that she accidentally spent an afternoon carrying water for the Spanish Empire. In her rush to lecture the world about racism, Crockett somehow landed on the side of the country that spent centuries colonizing much of Latin America. During a House hearing on oversight of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, the Texas Democrat tried to turn World Cup fandom into a debate about racism. Also New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani acknowledged Tuesday that he can't have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested despite promising to do so during his mayoral campaign / Buffalo World Naked Bike Ride canceled due to violent threats / the DSA infiltrates their own party / Journey star Jonathan Cain demands Bruce Springsteen 'shut up,' act like he was born in the USA / and black Democrats do not like socialism.

You might be surprised to learn that Mickey Mouse is not held in high esteem by The Smithsonian. There’s one museum exhibit that describes Steamboat Willie as a vestige of long-standing traditions of a blackface minstrel show. That revelation came during a congressional hearing with Anthea Hartig, the director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Mickey Mouse is racist? Now, that’s just goofy. Turns out the Smithsonian has all sorts of woke exhibits and ideology. Did you know that being polite is a form of white supremacy? Or that you can purchase a children’s story book that includes pictures of two boys lusting after each other? They also share Latino Power merchandise. To illustrate the absurdity – imagine the outrage if they sold White Power merch. What’s puzzling is why you can purchase gay-themed books at the Smithsonian gift shop – but you can’t purchase a copy of the two books that most influenced the Founding Fathers – the Holy Bible and Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. How ironic that you can’t find common sense in The Smithsonian museums. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
