Jeremy Kuzmarov - October Surprise - CIA Director William Casey Committed Treason to Help Ronald Reagan Win the 1980 ElectionReagan's worshippers, however, fail to acknowledge the rise of massive inequality in the 1980s, Reagan's support for death squad operations in Central America, and the fact that Reagan only won the 1980 election after his campaign manager, William Casey, who was subsequently appointed CIA Director, committed a treasonous act known as “The October Surprise.”“The October Surprise” involved Casey's secret meeting with Iranian revolutionary leaders who agreed to withhold the release of 52 American hostages taken after the Iranian Revolution unseated the U.S. client regime of the Shah until after the election.But did the future head of the CIA hold off on releasing the hostages simply for Political power?Jeremy Kuzmarov holds a Ph.D. in American history from Brandeis University and has taught at numerous colleges across the United States.

LaFontaine Oliver, president and CEO of New York Public Radio, talks about the very real threats to public radio coming from Washington, and what NYPR plans to do to deal with them.

Mi gente, the first season of Moneda Moves is ready for launch! Thank you for joining us in the new year and our 180th installment of our Moneda Moves notitas. This season, we're focusing on 2025 economic trends, how they affect our entrepreneurial community, and our community will move the American economy. You can expect to hear from some incredible experts this season, including investors and national journalists—starting with this week's guest. It is more important than ever to pay mind to how Latinos are contributing to the economy—especially Latinos in the growing gig economy. Did you know that two in five Americans are part of the gig economy? For Latinos, an impressive 50 percent identify as independent workers, as shared by the Independent Women's Forum. In kind, this week, we're exploring how we tap into all that joint economic power we yield as well as the ins and outs of the growing gig economy. Our guest is the award-winning journalist, educator, and host Tanzina Vega. Tanzina has led coverage of inequality at some of the world's most influential organizations, including The Boston Globe, The New York Times, CNN, and New York Public Radio. In my eyes, Tanzina's news coverage is the blueprint for reporting on money and race in the United States, as well as on money and inequality overall. The gig economy is growing, and Latinos are increasingly participating in it, whether it's on its own or in addition to a 9-to-5 job..s. Freelancing has its perks—you can work from home, set your own hours, and be your own boss. But it's not the kind of work we were traditionally encouraged to pursue or the same rules that apply. In our conversation with Tanzina, we discover that the shift toward the gig economy may have been born out of necessity. We also discuss how critical it is for Latinos to know their contracts, what to watch out for, and how to advocate for their terms and worth. This week, we'll discuss how Latinos can tap into collective potential and how to navigate the gig economy. While freelancing can create new economic opportunities, it's important to learn from established professionals like Tanzina, who have covered and experienced the gig economy firsthand. When new freelancers lack the knowledge to navigate contracts and negotiations, they could end up with predatory terms and unreasonable conditions. But with the right resources and advocating for their worth we can leverage the gig economy to continue to wealth build. No te lo quieres perder.

The first WNYC broadcast took place on July 8, 1924. Today, LaFontaine Oliver, president and CEO of New York Public Radio, kicks off our centennial series, and Andy Lanset, director of archives for New York Public Radio, takes us through the station's history.

The show is a production of WNYC, New York Public Radio. Vocalist and anthropologist Galeet Dardashti is an advocate of Middle Eastern and North African Jewish culture. She founded the all-woman Middle Eastern Jewish ensemble, Divahn, specializes in Mizrahi cultural politics, music and media in Israel, and is a visiting professor at NYU who has begun research on progressive, millennial Sephardi/Mizrahi North American Jews.Her latest recording is Monajat, a Persian word meaning an intimate dialogue with the Divine. The record is also a digital collaboration with the recorded voice of her grandfather Younes Dardashti, a master singer of Persian classical music in 1950s/60s Iran, backed by an all-star ensemble that includes Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz on oud and bass; Max ZT on hammered dulcimer; Zafer Tawi on violin, ney, vocals, percussion; Philip Mayer on drums; and John Stanesco contributing electronics.On Monajat, Galeet Dardashti takes as her inspiration the Hebrew sacred music of the Selihot ritual (or penitential prayers) and merges Persian piyutim (liturgical songs) traditionally chanted as part of the Selihot service, as well as other liturgical and non-liturgical Hebrew and Persian poetry set to new music. “Monajat”, a song likely written by Younes Dardashti, in the style of the 13th century Sufi poet Rumi, is how her grandfather's original recording of Selihot ends. Galeet Dardashti presents selections from Monajat, and talks about "bridging generations and geography" (John Schaefer) for this New Sounds. - Caryn HavlikProgram #4788, With Galeet DardashtiARTIST: Galeet Dardashti WORK: Aneinu [1:32] RECORDING: Monajat SOURCE/INFO: galeetdardashti.bandcamp.com/album/monajatARTIST: Galeet Dardashti WORK: Adon Haselichot [4:54] RECORDING: Monajat SOURCE/INFO: galeetdardashti.bandcamp.com/album/monajatARTIST: Galeet Dardashti WORK: Adonai Hu Ha'elohim [5:13] RECORDING: Monajat SOURCE/INFO: galeetdardashti.bandcamp.com/album/monajatARTIST: Galeet Dardashti WORK: Melekh [5:06] RECORDING: Monajat SOURCE/INFO: galeetdardashti.bandcamp.com/album/monajatARTIST: Galeet Dardashti WORK: Monajat [4:10] RECORDING: Monajat SOURCE/INFO: galeetdardashti.bandcamp.com/album/ARTIST: Galeet Dardashti WORK: Aneinu [4:21] RECORDING: Monajat SOURCE/INFO: galeetdardashti.bandcamp.com/album/monajatARTIST: Galeet Dardashti WORK: The Awakening [6:01] RECORDING: Monajat SOURCE/INFO: galeetdardashti.bandcamp.com/album/monajat

May is National Moving Month, so today we're dedicating a whole hour of the show to moving. Chances are some of you have moved to New York recently. Jake Dobkin, Gothamist co-founder, current Vice President of Sponsorship at New York Public Radio, and author the book, Ask a Native New Yorker: Hard-Earned Advice on Surviving and Thriving in the Big City, takes your calls to see how things are going and offers tips on adjusting to New York life.

On her award-winning podcast “Articles of Interest,” host and producer Avery Trufelman dives deep into the stories behind the clothes we wear. From the evolution of prep to the origins of wedding dresses, Avery guides her listeners through the multi-faceted layers behind the aesthetics of fashion. “It's crops, it's the earth, it's handwork, it's culture, it's society. You tug on a thread and you get everything,” she said. “That's what I'm slowly realising [about fashion].”This week on The BoF Podcast, BoF founder and editor-in-chief Imran Amed sits down with Trufelman to discuss her path into podcasting, taking her lifelong passion for clothes and what they mean into an audio format, and what she's learned about fashion along the way. Key Insights: A self-proclaimed “public radio nepo baby,” Trufelman has audio in her blood — her parents met working at New York Public Radio. But while she grew up with audio, she didn't start experimenting with fashion until she was a teenager, expressing herself through quirky thrifted fashion ensembles, much to the confusion of her peers. “I knew in the back of my mind that it was too much, that I was sort of alienating people,” she says. “It just made me realise how powerful clothing was. That dressing in this wild way sort of set me apart.”Trufelman initially came up with the idea for “Articles of Interest” while interning at the design and architecture podcast “99% Invisible.” Presenting a fashion podcast to an audience more focussed on architecture, Trufelman began to see the ways in which fashion touched every facet of life. “In the beginning, fashion was sort of a dirty word for me,” she says. “Now it's all about fashion because everything has fashion. Buildings have fashion, cars have fashion, colours have fashion. Fashion is just taste over time and the most easy way to measure that when you look at a picture of any era, it's the cars maybe, but mostly the clothes.”Four seasons into “Articles of Interest,” Trufelman now finds herself with a rich archive to draw upon. “I don't ever kill stories. I love to reuse interviews that I collected years ago. I'm always cutting them up and revisiting them because I believe that knowledge isn't like one and done. It isn't a single use thing. I believe in making this a long sustainable living archive.” Trufelman also sees the parallels between podcasts and fashion in the ways in which both allow us to engage with the world. “People are listening to your voice while they're walking down the street and they're like noticing what people are wearing or they're noticing what people are doing. It's not undivided attention. It is divided attention. It's beautiful.”Additional Resources:The BoF 500: Avery TrufelmanRalph Lauren is Traveling Back in Time to Bring Back Preppy Chic Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but often, the act of becoming more aware is simplified to sporting a pink ribbon.  Rebecca Weiss, senior listener services associate at New York Public Radio and founder of Bob's Boxes, a 501c3 nonprofit that sends post-mastectomy care packages to women with breast cancer -- and listeners -- shed light on aspects of the experience of the disease that are not often discussed, but patients and survivors of breast cancer wish we all knew.

ABOUT QUEEN CHARLOTTE: THE OFFICIAL PODCASTOn this special new season of Bridgerton: The Official Podcast, we're diving into each episode of Shondaland's glittering prequel, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, the new limited series on Netflix. Queen Charlotte :The Official Podcast is the official companion podcast launching May 18th. Host Gabrielle Collins is an expert on the Bridgerton universe.GABRIELLE COLLINS BIO (FROM SHONDALAND.COM)Gabrielle Collins is a podcast producer known for her work on iHeartMedia's food and travel podcasts such as Tom Colicchio's Citizen Chef and WBEZ podcasts, including the Amnesty International USA Media Award-winning 16 Shots. She grew up between Chicago and the Bahamas and both studied theater and politics and got her Master's in Journalism from New York University. That's where she discovered her love for audio."Television is my jam," she tells Shondaland. "Yes, and I love telling stories with sound."When she was a fledgling producer, it coincided with the heyday of Scandal, which Collins says was an escape between long days of writing and reporting."I was working at ABC News and New York Public Radio at the same time," she says, "so I had to drum up some non-stop Olivia Pope energy. And sometimes Cyrus [laughs]. I can actually timestamp my journey as a producer with Shondaland moments: The Greys' plane crash episode aired days before I flew to London (to finish up my capstone at Oriel). Viola Davis as Annalise in HTGAWM took off that wig around the time I struggled with how to bring my whole self to work. I can keep going. But above all, these moments, and the teams that made them of course, renewed the power of drama and storytelling for me. And I'd bet there are a lot of people who feel that way about Rhimes and the writers and everybody involved so giving those people a podcast that goes inside a Shondaland production is the cherry on top of what I get to do." https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-queen-charlotte-a-bridger-77492332/https://www.shondaland.com/inspire/shondaland-bridgerton-behind-the-scenes/a35614752/gabrielle-collins-bridgerton-the-official-podcast/

“If it was on VHS I got to see it” Spencer Day credits his mother and the local video store for igniting his love of musicals. He grew up in a small, conservative town that didn't have much in the way of live musical theater performances. But there was a video store that carried G-rated movies — and classic films. The music from shows like Oklahoma, Singin' in the Rain, and South Pacific planted big dreams of traveling the world inside his young heart. However, it took some time before he realized that singing would be his ticket around the globe. Now Spencer Day is a #1 Billboard jazz/pop singer and songwriter that has played in venues like the Lincoln Center, the Hollywood Bowl and London's West End. He's been praised by Time Out New York, Washington Post, New York Public Radio, and SF Chronicle. But it certainly wasn't a straight trajectory getting to this point. Between a joke audition for Star Search that actually landed him on the show, playing in piano bars, signing and getting dropped by labels, there's been many twists and turns on his path to success. He laughs about performing in the Hollywood Bowl in the same week he played for six people in a blizzard in Ohio. The artist's life is never easy — but it's worth it. Listen to the full interview to get to know Spencer Day and his music! He talks about the ups and downs of building a music career, why sacrifices of an artist's lifestyle is worth it, and the creative process behind his latest album Broadway by Day. Resources Learn more about Spencer Day on his website. You can find his album Broadway by Day anywhere you stream music. It's also available for purchase on Amazon Music. Enjoying Bite-Size Jazz?

We highlight thought leaders who are constantly evolving their strategy and can provide insight to folks about how to address new business challenges.  AllVoices is on a mission to create safe, happy, and healthy workplaces for all, and we're excited to learn from experts who share our mission.In this episode of Reimagining Company Culture, we're chatting with Monique Jefferson, Chief Human Resources Officer at New York Public Radio. Monique Jefferson is a results-oriented, proven human resources executive with over 20 years of diverse, global experience in the financial services, legal, Insurance, professional services and news media industries.About AllVoicesIn today's workforce, people often don't feel empowered to speak up and voice their opinions about workplace issues, including harassment, bias, and other culture issues. This prevents company leadership from making necessary changes, and prevents people from feeling fulfilled, recognized, and included at work. At AllVoices, we want to change that by providing a completely safe, anonymous way for people to report issues directly to company leaders. This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.To learn more about AllVoices visit us at www.allvoices.co!
