Podcasts about Ogden Nash

Welkin is a poetic or archaic term for the sky, firmament, or vault of heaven.To “ring the welkin” or make the “welkin ring” is a literary idiom meaning to make a very loud noise, such as shouting, cheering, or singing, that seems to echo throughout the sky or heavens. It implies creating a celebratory or boisterous sound that fills the air.Will you ring welkin?“Jet” Eisenberg knew immediately why I was doing what I did. He said that I spoke about it on the day that we met more than a quarter-century ago.He said that I have spoken about it in every class that he has ever heard me teach.Most people continue to be confused regarding my commitment to @GreatWritersSeries, so I recently updated the description of that channel on Youtube. (You should subscribe, by the way.)You may recognize a line within that description that I used in last week's Monday Morning Memo.This is my new description on Youtube: The goal of @GreatWritersSeries is to tempt you to read great literature: the novels, histories, poems, and news stories that won the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes. The song lyrics and screenplays that won the Grammy and Tony Awards.Because they will change you.Great literature is the lightning bolt that will pierce your skull, illuminate your mind, and set your tongue on fire.“For as you read, so will you speak and write.”Roy H. Williams had a marvelous English teacher during his junior and senior years of high school in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.Her name was Linn Ball.She taught him to hear the music of great writing and dance to it.She taught him to lift his eyes to the sky so that he could fly.She taught him to hear the music of unexpected words as they bang into each other and fill the movie screen of the mind with scenes that are startling and true.He wants to do the same for you.Moments before I began writing this Monday Monday Memo to you, I posted on Youtube a musical video of a poem written in 1929 by Ogden Nash.The title of that poem is “No Doctors Today, Thank You.” You can see and hear that Youtube performance in today's rabbit hole.This is it:They tell me that euphoria is the feeling of feeling wonderful,well, today I feel euphorian,Today I have the agility of a Greek god and the appetite of aVictorian.Yes, today I may even go forth without my galoshes,Today I am a swashbuckler, would anybody like me to buckleany swashes?This is my euphorian day,I will ring welkin and before anybody answers I will run away.I will tame me a caribouAnd bedeck it with marabou.I will pen me my memoirs.Ah youth, youth! What euphorian days them was!I wasn't much of a hand for the boudoirs,I was generally to be found where the food was.Does anybody want any flotsam?I've gotsam.Does anybody want any jetsam?I can getsam.I can play chopsticks on the Wurlitzer,I can speak Portuguese like a Berlitzer.I can don or doff my shoes without tying or untying the laces because I am wearing moccasins,And I practically know the difference between serums and antitoccasins.Kind people, don't think me purse-proud, don't set me down as vainglorious,I'm just a little euphorious.I'm just a little euphorious.I want you to dance.I want you to fly.I want the movie screen of your mind to be filled with scenes that are startling and true.I want you to feel euphorious.Roy H.

It's the Depression--the Great Depression. The economy is in the toilet, and birth rates, marriage rates, divorce rates are down, but guess what's up? Knitting! This is truly the Renaissance period for knitting according to Anne Macdonald in No Idle Hands: The Social History of American Knitting. The National Dry Goods Association estimated that 1/12th of the population knit, or about 10 million people. Between thrifty necessity, clever yarn companies sponsoring contests and stars like Joan Crawford and Katherine Hepburn taking up the needles on set, "the knitting craze" was the upside to the economic downside of the Depression. But does knitting shut men out? Humorist Ogden Nash devoted some rhymes to the claim that knitting wives left their husbands in a world of bitter silence:"Life will teach you many things, chief of which is that every man who talks to himself isn't necessarily out of his wits;He may have a wife who knits. . .Ah, my inquiring offspring, you must learn that life can be very bitter,But never quite so much so as when trying to pry a word out of a knitter."Ogden Nash, Not Many Years Ago, quoted in Anne Macdonald's No Idle Hands: The Social History of American Knitting, p. 277.So we wanted to know, does knitting shut men out? We did extensive research--okay, we asked one man--Bossy's husband. His answer? "I think knitting allows women to tolerate men." He gets a piece of Oreo cake for this answer, specifically Jevin's Victory Oreo Cake.Who says you can't inspire academic achievement with the promise of a special cake? So make this Oreo cake and always remember the power of knitting, as the 1932 Spring issue of McCall's Decorative Arts and Needlework proclaimed, "a gaily becoming sweater blouse always makes us feel like conquering the world."

Today's episode celebrates a prime example of that rara avis, the Broadway contralto, the fascinating and little-remembered Shannon Bolin (01 January 1917 – 25 March 2016). Her career covered the gamut from opera to Broadway covering all points along that continuum. In the year 1955, she and her husband, pianist, composer, and conductor Milton Kaye made two albums covering a range of material. The first, entitled Rare Wine, consists of “a bouquet of rare vintage,” lesser-known songs by Rodgers and Hart (and Rodgers and Hammerstein), George and Ira Gershwin, Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields, Vernon Duke and Ogden Nash, Bart Howard, Noël Coward, and Alec Wilder; the second LP consists entirely of songs of Alec Wilder, including his song cycle Songs for Patricia, composed to poems by Norman Rosten dedicated to his young daughter. The episode also includes two highlights from Bolin's stage career, from Damn Yankees and the 1969 off-Broadway smash Promenade, and closes with my favorite Alec Wilder song, the heartbreaking “Did You Ever Cross Over to Sneden's?” that serves as a memorial tribute to my dear friend from years gone by, Matthew Lau, whose death was just announced this past week. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Concert will benefit Beacon exchange program Ten years ago, singer and actor Kelly Ellenwood lost her voice after contracting whooping cough, an ironic twist because for four years she played the part of an opera prima donna who began singing like a frog in The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. To help regain the vocalizing, in 2016 she joined Stephen Clair (guitar) and Kathleen Bosman (violin, viola) to perform songs by German American composer Kurt Weill and French chanteuse Edith Piaf. On June 22, at 6 p.m., the Saint Rita trio (supported by Nate Allen and Brad Hubbard) will perform a program called Lost & Found at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon featuring deep cuts and popular songs from the pair's repertoire. The show is a benefit for Beacon High School's German American Partnership Program, established in 2022 with support from the German founders of the Beacon-based software firm Docuware. It brings foreign students to Beacon in October. On June 28, to complete the annual exchange, 18 Beacon teens and two teachers leave for Munich. Ellenwood, known for getting things done around town, got the call and implemented the nuts and bolts with the Parent Teacher Student Organization. This year, with help from the U.S. State Department and the Goethe Institute in Manhattan, the school district took over responsibility for its administration. Growing up in Nebraska, Ellenwood studied in Finland as an exchange student and aimed to be a diplomat, but the arts beckoned. There is no German language program at Beacon High School, she says, but "last year, a bunch of students, led by Skylar Clair, started a German study group and some of the kids are going this year, so this is changing lives." Rita, "patron saint of the impossible," says Ellenwood, is also the name of a new 100-seat music venue at the KuBe Art Center that she and her family plan to open with trombonist Dick Griffin on July 19 in the former high school's band room. Relevant to the concert, Piaf is said to have asked friends "to pray for Saint Rita, patron saint of lost causes" before her death from liver cancer in 1963 at age 47. The June 22 show will include Piaf's most popular song, "La Vie En Rose," which sold 1 million discs in the U.S. when released as a single in 1947. After Mack David translated the lyrics into English in 1950, eight artists charted with it, including Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong. Weill fused pop and classical music and collaborated with Ogden Nash, Bertolt Brecht and Ira Gershwin, among others. His hits include "Mack the Knife," "Bilbao Song" and "Alabama Song" (covered as "Whisky Bar" on the first album by The Doors). "We do a down-and-dirty version" of the latter, says Ellenwood, which is saying something because the song is about "prostitutes looking for the next trick - sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll - in 1930." The Howland Cultural Center is located at 477 Main St. in Beacon. Tickets are $20 at dub.sh/saint-rita-show.

According to Ogden Nash, "Philo Vance needs a kick in the pants", and Dashiel Hammett described the character's posturing as being, "like a teenager who had been studying the foreign words and phrases in the back of their dictionary". S.S. Van Dine's foppish sleuth certainly does make an impression on a reader and here, in his first appearance, we get to follow his methodology and manipulation alongside DA John Markham and "The Benson Murder Case".

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“In your love you see only the heaven of your own happiness, but in marriage you are placed at a post of responsibility towards the world and mankind. Your love is your own private possession, but marriage is more than something personal—it is a status, an office…. As high as God is above man, so high are the sanctity, the rights, and the promise of marriage above the sanctity, the rights, and the promise of love. It is not your love that sustains the marriage, but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love. “God makes your marriage indissoluble. ‘What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder'. God joins you together in marriage; it is His act, not yours.”~Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), to his niece on the announcement of her wedding, written while imprisoned for opposition to Adolf Hitler “Yet man being made last of the creatures, as the best and most excellent of all, Eve's being made after Adam, and out of him, puts an honor upon that sex, as the glory of the man, 1 Cor. 11:7. If man is the head, she is the crown, a crown to her husband, the crown of the visible creation. The man was dust refined, but the woman was dust double-refined….” “That the woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.”~Matthew Henry (1662-1714) in his commentary on Ephesians 5:21-25 “A good marriage is one where each partner secretly suspects they got the better deal.”~Unknown “To keep your marriage brimming with love in the wedding cup, whenever you're wrong, admit it; whenever you're right, shut up.”~Ogden Nash (1902-1971), American poet “Never laugh at your wife's choices. You are one of them.”~Unknown SERMON PASSAGEselected passages from Proverbs (ESV)Proverbs 21 My son, if you receive my words  and treasure up my commandments with you…5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord  and find the knowledge of God….16 So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman,  from the adulteress with her smooth words,17 who forsakes the companion of her youth  and forgets the covenant of her God…. Proverbs 515 Drink water from your own cistern,  flowing water from your own well.16 Should your springs be scattered abroad,  streams of water in the streets?17 Let them be for yourself alone,  and not for strangers with you.18 Let your fountain be blessed,  and rejoice in the wife of your youth…. Proverbs 124 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,  but she who brings shame  is like rottenness in his bones. Proverbs 171 Better is a dry morsel with quiet  than a house full of feasting with strife. Proverbs 1822 He who finds a wife finds a good thing  and obtains favor from the Lord.Proverbs 1914 House and wealth are inherited from fathers,  but a prudent wife is from the Lord. Proverbs 3110 An excellent wife who can find?  She is far more precious than jewels.11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,  and he will have no lack of gain.12 She does him good, and not harm,  all the days of her life….27 She looks well to the ways of her household  and does not eat the bread of idleness.28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;  her husband also, and he praises her:29 “Many women have done excellently,  but you surpass them all.”30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,  but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,  and let her works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 243 By wisdom a house is built,  and by understanding it is established;4 by knowledge the rooms are filled  with all precious and pleasant riches. Proverbs 1426 In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence,  and his children will have a refuge.27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,  that one may turn away from the snares of death.

The poet Ogden Nash once wrote, “Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them.”One thing's for sure: getting into debt is much easier than getting out of debt, so the more you know about debt and credit, the better off you'll be. Author Dr. Shane Enete joins us again today to discuss his take on that double-edged sword.Dr. Shane Enete is an Associate Professor of Finance at Biola University and the author of the brand new book, “Whole Heart Finances: A Jesus-Centered Guide to Managing Your Money with Joy.”Debt In God's WordDebt is often used in the Bible as a metaphor for bondage, emphasizing its severity. Both Jesus and Paul liken redemption to being freed from debt, highlighting the spiritual implications of financial burdens. Debt restricts our ability to fully express our identity in Christ and live freely according to God's will.The biblical concept of Jubilee, where debts are forgiven, highlights God's desire for us to be free and return to our original inheritance, reflecting His provision and grace.While usury, or lending that exploits and enslaves others, is condemned in the Bible, being in debt is more about wisdom than morality. Understanding the distinction between debt on appreciating assets (like education or a home) and depreciating assets (like a car or consumer goods) is crucial for making wise financial decisions.Credit: Not Always Synonymous With DebtCredit is often misunderstood as synonymous with debt. However, building good credit without borrowing is possible and beneficial. Credit is simply a measure of your trustworthiness to repay loans, and a good credit score can provide access to lower interest rates and better financial opportunities.Credit cards are a double-edged sword. While they offer convenience, they also delay the consequences of spending, making it easier to overspend. This delay can trigger a dopamine response, making shopping more enjoyable but also more dangerous financially. It's essential to be aware of this psychological trap and manage credit card use wisely.To avoid the pitfalls of credit cards, we recommend tracking spending daily and using digital envelopes for budgeting. These methods help make the consequences of spending immediate, encouraging more mindful financial decisions. Maintaining visibility over our finances prevents overspending and promotes wise money management. The FaithFi app is a great tool if you're looking for a customizable money management tool to help you make good financial decisions every day. With the app, you can securely connect to bank accounts, track spending, and make the most of every dollar.Living debt-free and managing money in a way that honors God allows us to excel in the grace of giving. This enriches our spiritual lives by continually experiencing the gospel through generosity. By applying biblical principles to our financial lives, we can experience greater joy and freedom.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:How can I find investments that align with my faith beliefs?My adult son is disabled and collects SSI and SSA.

Today's poem–a layered, jokingly-serious response to one of last week's–comes from Ogden Nash, dubbed the ‘Laurate of Light Verse.' Which banner would you rally under–Nash or Byron?One of the most widely appreciated and imitated writers of light verse, Frediric Ogden Nash was born in Rye, New York, on August 19, 1902, to Edmund Strudwick and Mattie Nash. He came from a distinguished family; the city of Nashville, Tennessee, was named in honor of one of his forbearers. Nash attended Harvard College, but dropped out after only one year. He worked briefly on Wall Street, and as a schoolteacher, before becoming a copywriter. In 1925, he took a job in the marketing department with the publishing house Doubleday.Nash's first published poems began to appear in the New Yorker around 1930. His first collection of poems, Hard Lines (Simon & Schuster), was published in 1931. The book was a tremendous success; it went into seven printings in its first year alone, and Nash quit his job with Doubleday. That same year, he married Frances Rider Leonard; they had two children. Nash worked briefly for the New Yorker in 1932, before deciding to devote himself full-time to his verse.Nash considered himself a "worsifier." Among his best known lines are "Candy / Is dandy, / But liquor / Is quicker" and "If called by a panther / Don't anther." His poems also had an intensely anti-establishment quality that resounded with many Americans, particularly during the Depression. Nash was a keen observer of American social life, and frequently mocked religious moralizing and conservative politicians. His work is often compared with other satirists of the time, including Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, and H. L. Mencken. He appeared regularly on radio and on television, and he drew huge audiences for his readings and lectures.Nash was also the author of three screenplays for MGM, and with S. J. Perelmen, he wrote the 1943 Broadway hit One Touch of Venus. In the 1950s, Nash focused on writing poems for children, including the collection Girls Are Silly (Franklin Watts, 1962). He died on May 19, 1971.-bio via Academy of American Poets Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

During his lifetime, Ogden Nash (born August 19, 1902; died May 19, 1971) was the most widely known, appreciated, and imitated American creator of light verse, a reputation that has continued after his death. Few writers of light or serious verse can claim the same extensive dissemination of their poems that Nash's works enjoy, both with and without citation of the author. Certain Nash lines, such as “If called by a panther, / Don't anther” and “Candy / Is dandy, / But liquor / Is quicker” have become bits of popular American folklore. As Nash remarked in a late verse, the turbulent modern world has much need for the relief his whimsy offers: “In chaos sublunary / What remains constant but buffoonery?” Nash's peculiar variety of poetic buffoonery combines wit and imagination with eminently memorable rhymes.Any attempt to place Nash's work in the context of other American humorous writing, or the humor of any other country, for that matter, tends initially to highlight his singularity. George Stevens notes this particularity. “Nash was not the only writer who could make frivolity immortal. But he was unique—not at all like Gilbert or Lear or Lewis Carroll, still less like his immediate predecessors in America: Dorothy Parker, Margaret Fishback, Franklin P. Adams. By the same token, he was and remains inimitable—easy to imitate badly, impossible to imitate well.”-bio via Poetry FoundationCharles-Camille Saint-Saëns (/sæ̃ˈsɒ̃(s)/ 9 October 1835 – 16 December 1921) was a French composer, organist, conductor and piano prodigy of the Romantic era. His best-known works include Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso (1863), the Second Piano Concerto (1868), the First Cello Concerto (1872), Danse macabre (1874), the opera Samson and Delilah (1877), the Third Violin Concerto (1880), the Third ("Organ") Symphony (1886) and The Carnival of the Animals (1886).-bio via Wikipedia Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

This episode features a writer who would be familiar not only to Hull residents but also to keen telly watchers, radio listeners and theatre goers across the country. Alan Plater was born in Jarrow in 1935  but having moved to Hull when he was just three years old, the city was pleased to adopt him and he lived there for much of his life. His most famous writing credit was probably Z Cars. Alan Plater was also a huge fan of jazz music and his ITV comedy drama The Beiderbecke Affair staring James Bolam and Barbara Flynn in the mid 1980s was a massive success. He went on to win countless awards and accolades for his wonderful writing. Alan Plater was enormously generous with his time, and made a huge contribution to the Hull arts scene of the 1960s and 70s, developing a gentle friendship with Philip Larkin along the way. This speech was recorded on 28th November 1998,  and was given at that year's PLS AGM.   Thank you so much to Alexandra Cann who is the agent for the Alan Plater Literary Estate Ltd for giving us the initial approval to use this recording, and to Steve Plater and John Rubinstein who are the joint Directors of the Lit Estate. If you are interested in seeing an Alan Plater play this summer, then the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough is putting on a production of the Blonde Bombshells of 1943 which is full of swing and jazz, from 2-26th August 2023. https://sjt.uk.com/events/blonde-bombshells-of-1943 References: Alfred Bradley https://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/about/successes/alfred-bradley-award/ ·         The Occasional Smell of Fish (poem) ·         Waiting for Gladys (Becket parody) ·         Bete Noire (Hull poetry journal) ·         Z Cars One Day In Spring Street ·         Jazz Notes- BBC radio programme ·         On Sunday January 4th I had Mild Constipation ·         Names (poem written for Three Trawlers fundraising) ‘my only grown up poem' ·         Swallows on the Water (play) ·         The Fosdyke Saga sonnet ( BBC radio tripe themed -parody of The Forsyth Saga,)- sent a copy to Larkin who responded with a signed copy of the High Windows calling him ‘sonnetteer extraordinaire' ·         Sweet Sorrow (1990) Plater's play about Larkin Matthew Arnold, Ogden Nash, Dylan Thomas, Alan Bleasdale, Ted Hughes, Barry Hines, Vera Wise, Henry Livings, Alex Glasgow, Carla Lane, Adrian Mitchell, Allan Ginsburg, Carole Mills (rude songs and low down blues), Robin Kay (flamenco guitarist), Max Boylett (jazz pianist), Ian Clarke and Chris Rowe, Sid and Norm (artists without category), Joe Orton, The Beatles, John Ford (director of westerns), Roger McGough, Jimmy James (music hall performer),Ken Wagstaff- (footballing hero), Fleur Adcock, Jeff Nuttall (had a pee in a bucket on stage), Roni Scott, Suzi Quatro, Mike Bradwell (theatre director), Jess Stacy (jazz pianist), Shakespeare, Max Wall, Peter Brooke (director),  and many more Hull poets listed by Plater.

January 24, 1954 - After a look at the home life of Bob Crosby, Jack Benny and the gang dramatize the Robert W Service poem "The Shooting of Dan McGrew". References include "Santa Baby" by Ertha Kitt, the end of the Chlorophyll fad, and the game of Scrabble. Plus a Lucky Strike commercial by the poet Ogden Nash.  

Santa Claus. For most of the year he and his helpers toil and on one day, Christmas Eve, he and his reindeer race the globe delivering toys, candy and things to good children the world over. In this collection of short fiction, a letter and two poems, Mark Redfield narrates three American voices on the subject of Jolly Old Saint Nick. “Letter From Santa Clause” by Mark Twain is and actual letter that Twain wrote and left one Christmas morning to his daughter. An expression of a father's love. In the delightful poem “The Boy Who Laughed at Santa Claus” American humorist Ogden Nash tells the story of a very naughty boy from Baltimore who wasn't anybody's idea of a gift. And from weird tales author H. P. Lovecraft comes a poem surprising in it's joyous holiday spirit, “Good St. Nick”. It's a good time to believe in Santa Claus. And what of Rudolph? We conclude the program with composer Jennifer Rouse's arrangement of Johnny Mark's popular song, which she calls “Rudolph's Nightmare” ! Thank you for listening, and subscribing!

Frank Baum, Frosty the Snowman, Lion King Moonracer, the Winter Warlock, Tim Allen, Ogden Nash and the history of Riga, Latvia. Welcome to the complete Canon of Santa Claus.

Latest Spoken Label (Author / Artist / Spoken Word Podcast) features our returning friend Rich Davenport talking about his latest book "Horsetrousers". Rich Davenport is a comedy poet, stand-up comedian and musician from exotic Bolton, in the UK. Inspired by Spike Milligan, Ogden Nash, Billy Connolly, John Cooper-Clarke, Robin Williams, Benjamin Zephanaiah, Victoria Wood, Lenny Henry, and by his friend and fellow Boltonian, the late Hovis Presley, Rich has gigged all over the UK, spreading mirth and making loud noises. No, he's never heard of him either. Rich was described in one review as a “no-nonsense Northerner,” which is ridiculous, because nonsense is his business, and business is good. Rich was first encouraged to compile a book of his poems of extreme gormlessness by Hovis Presley. After accidentally winning a couple of poetry slams, other encouraging individuals said the same thing. And now, finally, Rich's first book, GORMLESS is available now from Chinbeard books at the link below with fabulous illustrations from the marvellous Minty B. A percentage from every book will be donated to the ME Association. Horsetrousers is his second book. More details about Rich including how to purchase his book can be found here: - https://www.richdavenport.com/

I am usually among the most allergic to broad, immutable-characteristic-based analyses along the lines of “The Crisis of Men and Boys.” Some of this is the usual self-loathing—Screw guys, especially if they're 54-year-old baseball fanatics from California!, etc. But also, probably due to the extended influence of the man formerly known as Casanova Brown, I have seen too often the fact-bending, anti-individualist and too often punitive ideological temptations of sorting humans into various pens and making grand statements about the resulting statistics.However! When tasked during a recent media appearance to have comments on The Trouble With Males, I stumbled across a stunning (to me) chart at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showing that the employment rate for dudes between 2001 and 2021 was down in every age bracket younger than 55, and up in every cohort after 55. Dramatic numbers, too—16-19-year-old males went from 50% to 36%; 20-24s from 82% to 73%, and so on. If we're getting to the point where half of men have never worked before the age of 25, that's a profoundly different America than some of us old farts grew up in.So when I received a publicist email saying that the Bradley Prize-winning American Enterprise Institute economist Nicholas Eberstadt had just come out with a brand new post-pandemic edition of his groundbreaking 2016 study Men Without Work, I leaped at the chance to talk to him about this subject that I cared not at all about just one month ago. Hoo-ray for the on-the-job learning!Eberstadt, as you will soon hear, has a more interesting pedigree than your average math professor, with a wife who writes about the sexual revolution and identity politics, a sister who was in Warhol's Factory, one grandfather who was Ogden Nash, and another who co-founded the CIA. And don't worry, we also talk a bit about commies.-- The myth of “full employment”-- NILFs-- “There is absolutely nothing good that comes out of this trend”-- “Uncannily, weirdly, eerily regular”-- “There's no country in the rich world that has had such a steep radical and continuing drop as the U.S.A.”-- The Lost Decade, and the New Misery-- Wealth without growth-- The populist reaction-- “They don't do civil society”-- Immigrants get the job done-- California vs. Texas on immigrant welfare-- Schmancy Bobbleman vs. the feminists-- The ex-felon factor-- They're all on disability-- We just did a national UBI experiment-- Get a job, teens!-- Does this also explain woke/cancel stuff?-- We weren't gonna let that Warhol connection slide-- Nor the CIA grandpa-- Charles Murray, Tim Carney, J.D. Vance-- North Korea's role in Russia's failing war This is a public episode.

Ojai resident Douglas Parker, a writer and attorney, was deep in the thick of it when Watergate reached its apogee in 1972-1973 as Nixon's White House counsel, working for the formidable Leonard Garment. Parker, Garment and Nixon all worked for the same Wall Street firm in the 1960s, and came onboard to helped Nixon navigate the subsequent scandal after members of Nixon's Committee to Re-Elect the President (the aptly named C.R.E.E.P.) broke into the headquarters of the Democratic Party headquarters in the Watergate Hotel. Parker draws many parallels, but just as many differences in this tumultuous time as the hearings recess until September. Trump's brazenness stands in contrast to Nixon's paranoid guile. But both men believed themselves above the law. Parker writes about these issues and many more at Rinocracy.com -- his blog about how Trump has caused him to lose faith with the Republican Party to which he was devoted for much of his life. Parker's career has taken many twists and turns. Besides his brilliant career on Wall Street, he also wrote an authorized biography of legendary humorist Ogden Nash. We talk about his upbringing, his being one of a very select group of Chicago Cubs fans who attended World Series games in 1945 and 2016, and his representing the Toronto Blue Jays as they tried to secure their contract with a promising young third-baseman named Danny Ainge against the rapacious Boston Celtics. We did not talk about za-zen, Australian rabbit-proof fences or the seminal Alan Flusser book, "Style & The Man."

We are morphing from etymologists into entomologists today as we put the world of insects and other creepy crawlies under the microscope.  We will find out why bees really are the busiest especially when it comes to the English language and what caterpillars have in common with very hairy cats. Ironically, Gyles finds the fly in the ointment when he tries to get to the etymological root of ‘fly' and Susie shares the silver lining of always being bitten by mosquitoes - it's wohlweh (the pleasurable pain caused by scratching a mosquito bite).  We also hear from our youngest known listener who has a question for Susie, and Gyles treats us to twopoems today by the wonderful Ogden Nash.  A Somethin' Else production.  We love answering your wordy questions on the show so please do keep sending them in to purple@somethinelse.com  To buy SRWP mugs and more head to.... https://kontraband.shop/collections/something-rhymes-with-purple.

In today's Love Letters to…, Alicia marks National Poetry Month, celebrated every year in April, with three poets' love letters to this paragon of springtime (or, probably, autumn, in the Southern Hemisphere). Ogden Nash, Sara Teasdale, and e.e. cummings had thoughts about April - which is decidedly not the cruelest month, whatever T.S. Eliot may have said. Learn more about your ad choices.

April is celebrated as “National Humor Month.” It is also the only month of the year that begins with a Fool's Day, a day celebrated in many countries with sanctioned frivolity and pranks ever since the 1500s. So today I want to lighten the moment and read some humorous poetry by Ogden Nash, Philip Larkin, Shel Silverstein, "Anonymous," Pamela Ayres, and Stuart McLean.
