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".

Daily QuoteThose who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its brevity. (Jean de La Bruyère)Poem of the DayA Word to HusbandsOgden NashBeauty of WordsThe Philosopher (2)By W. Somerset Maugham

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.

For this Musicals Magazine Podcast, Edward Seckerson meets Melissa Errico, celebrated purveyor of the songs of Stephen Sondheim and Michel Legrand and a cabaret artist of extraordinary magnetism. Her theatre career on Broadway and beyond has embraced some classics like My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music and Camelot with excursions into Kurt Weill and Ogden Nash's One Touch of Venus and Michael Legrand and Jeremy Sam's Amour for which she was nominated for a Tony Award. But she thrives on the intimacy of the cabaret room and on disc she has garnered lavish praise for her two insightful and subtly jazz-inflected Sondheim collections.

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

Blogger One: An old Chinese proverb says, “Talk doesn't cook rice.” I suspect it is equally true quoting old Chinese proverbs doesn't cook much rice either. As I consider strategies for initiating my blog, along with noting activities that do not cook rice, I'm thinking also noting those that do not lead to a successful blog would be helpful. Once I know all of the don'ts, what's left are on the to do list. Here we go with the don't list for blogging. 1. Don't sit and stare. Doing most anything else is an improvement over just gazing into empty space. Of course, I claim to be intensely thinking and it may be true, at least a little. Even so, writing is key and although I can think without seriously thinking, think without writing and write without thinking, to write without writing is pretty much impossible or at least beyond my scope for sure. 2. I don't need another cup of coffee. I know it would feel good to stretch and stroll out to the coffee pot and back. A nice cup of hot coffee might even perk me up. I could use the time to consider more fully what I want to say and the jolt of caffeine might stimulate a new insight or something. No, no coffee, no stroll into the other room, no more avoiding getting down to the business at hand. 3. I don't have any more excuses. I'm far enough into it to get down to it if I am up to it. Ok, I'm getting around to it and know it's time to either do it or screw it. The deal goes like this. I'll never make a post if all I do is boast about the blog I'm planning to write. It's indeed a little crazy but either I'm lazy or afraid of being absolutely trite. That's a pretty pathetic verse and sure it can get worse but I don't feel even a little contrite. My blog is underway and I have a post for today so I can get that coffee and stare with no further fear of being impolite. Blogger Two: Starting a post with a quotation or some other wise saying seems to help break the ice or since I am into clichés, it more likely is merely priming the creativity pump. Either way, a quote from Sylvia Plath struck me as useful for my present purpose, “And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise.  The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” Before using the quote, I thought a refresher on Sylvia Plath might add to the pump priming so in came Wikipedia to fill the need. Just search for Ms. Plath to find her life story or at least the Wikipedia version of her life story. The story is too intense and far too sad to tell here but think Fulbright scholarship, Pulitzer Prize for poetry, novelist, poet, controversial writer, and getting her own stamp from the Post Office. If she said it (and she did) it's true enough for me, “…everything in life is writable about….” This certainly opens a world of possibilities and opportunities. Now all that is needed are, “…the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise.” There you go, guts and imagination. That does reduce the challenge to rather simple terms. It surely helps to be brilliant and gifted as a serendipitous bonus but guts and imagination may be doable for most of us even if Pulitzer Prizes and our own stamp are not in the cards. We need only keep self-doubt arrested and far off our creative path. Writing for the ages like Shakespeare or being as clever as Ogden Nash, Would pretty well guarantee the conversion of your writing to cash. But if guts and imagination are mostly what you're about, Remember the words of Sylvia Plath as you keep all self-doubt out. Blogger Three: Don't you get a little suspicious when a reporter attributes a fact or other information to a “reliable source” or to “an official” who didn't want his or her name used? It's kind of the same thing when an author uses some insight or clever saying and then attributes it to “author unknown” or perhaps “anonymous.” I suppose giving credit to B.

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.

Iain Dale interviews veteran journalist and writer Julia Langdon. They discuss the challenges of breaking into journalism, forming relationships with politicians and the wide variety of people Julia has interviewed. She's gone toe-to-toe with then Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie, Chinese revolutionary leader Deng Xiaoping and the poet Ogden Nash, among many others. Also, she once caught out Jeffrey Archer doing a fake American accent...

April 5, 2023 - "Pretty Halcyon Days" By Ogden Nash, Read By Johanna Asher by The Desmond-Fish Public Library & The Highlands Current, hosted by Ryan Biracree

Spring is sprung, La Primavera's near But why is Patrick Lefevere still here? Gary goes all Ogden Nash as he previews Milan San Remo, Alfredo Binda and foresees a comeuppance for the winner of the 1978 edition of Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne.

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!

Imagine if every story you've ever known about Santa was put together into one story. In Chapter 2 we encounter facts from Elf, the reformer Martin Luther, L. 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.

Ladies n Genminminmin (er, min...), yes it's a 'cracking day' (see what I'm doing there?!) in 'The Clearing' as I have the great pleasure of welcoming the warm and wonderful Peter Lord, co-founder of Aardman Animations to the show!Aardman Animations is (as I'm sure you know!) the globally renowned 4 times Academy Award Winning Clay Animated & Short Films company based in Bristol."Nice Cheese Gromit!"4 Academy awards, The Freedom of the City of Bristol and a GOLD Blue Peter Badge to his name, in the bag and in the Clearing! Peter Lord also created and gifted "Morph" to the world; Morph being the wonderful plasticine comedy sidekick to Tony Hart and the iconic children's TV programme "Vision On" back in the day, that formed part of the fabric of my (and our) childhoods!Peter also Directed one of my very very favourite Aardman Films "Chicken Run", with "Chicken Run 2" being in production as we speak.Hurrah!More about Peter Lord:Born in Bristol, if Peter Lord had taken the Van Gogh advice, which he quotes, he might now be playing cricket. Or the piano. Instead he followed his father's suggestion and made the most of whatever came his way. Aged 12, on his first day at school in Woking, he took the only desk left. This placed him next to a lad known there as ‘Sproxton D A.' (none other than Aardman Animations co-founder Dave Sproxton!)45+ years later these two are still working together. What started as a ‘hobby for a dreary afternoon' is now creating career opportunities for literally hundreds of others at Aardman Animations. ‘Pete and Dave' were the co-founders of this extraordinarily successful creative enterprise, which now belongs to its staff - a bit like the John Lewis model but Aardman's models are much more famous on a worldwide basis. They include the amazing Morph, Chas and many others, like "Shaun the Sheep"; "Wallace and Gromit"; "Chicken Run"; "Flushed Away" to name but some of an absolutely extraordinary canon of work on which we've all brought our children up (and ourselves!) It all started with ordinary plasticine and Peter still remembers his artist mother making a plasticine loaf for him when he was aged around 4. Then cutting it into slices! At age 10, he credits his teacher in his School for Gifted Children in Australia in sharing his enthusiasm for Ogden Nash, Ray Bradbury and Marcel Marceau. That enthusiasm inspired him, more than the poetry or the prose or the mime. It kept him going through the ‘long days and long nights' of building an international business in animation. Good decisions, good timing, good luck and hard work - simple as that, apparently! Peter is clear: “There are no secrets. Stop-motion is magic!” The work-side of Peter Lord's career is already well documented. As a delightful bonus, the personal side of his life is gently revealed here - like his love for wet walnuts and bagpipe music! Like his questionable but credible claim to being the first (or at least among the front runners) ever to publish work by the teenage Kazou Ishiguro, now Sir Kazou Ishiguro, the Nobel Prizewinning writer responsible for a variety of masterpieces from ‘Remains of the Day' to the new awards-contender ‘Living'', starring Bill Nighy. Peter Lord's own awards include an Oscar or two, Freedom of the City of Bristol and the presentation of a Blue Peter Gold Badge, which he found “ridiculously pleasing.” He describes the world of animation as an ‘esoteric community, low on ego, where drawing is a great way of thinking'. In this curious community, Peter Lord is a shining example of delightful, understated talent. Please lend him your ears!

We're putting on the nonsense, and realizing that perhaps it's too much for even us! Pemmy and James look at this Rankin Bass production animated by British group Halas and Batchelor Studios which adapted the works of Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll, Ogden Nash and many more. It's limericks, riddles, puns and poems with a Laugh-In format, a goofy cast of jokesters and not a lot of structure, making it a fascinating experiment in the era of Scooby-Doo and the Archies.

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.

Philo Vance - Serial 4, Episode 61 - 80 Title: Philo Vance Overview: Three radio drama series were created with Philo Vance as the title character. The first series, broadcast by NBC in 1945, starred José Ferrer. A summer replacement series in 1946 starred John Emery as Vance. The best-known series (and the one of which most episodes survived) ran from 1948 to 1950 in Frederick Ziv syndication and starred Jackson Beck. "Thankfully, the radio series uses only the name, and makes Philo a pretty normal, though very intelligent and extremely courteous gumshoe. ... Joan Alexander is Ellen Deering, Vance's secretary, and right-hand woman.” Philo Vance is a fictional amateur detective originally featured in 12 crime novels by S. S. Van Dine in the 1920s and 1930s. During that time, Vance was immensely popular in books, films, and radio. He was portrayed as a stylish, even foppish dandy, a New York bon vivant possessing a highly intellectual bent. "S. S. Van Dine" was the pen name of Willard Huntington Wright, a prominent art critic who initially sought to conceal his authorship of the novels. Van Dine was also a fictional character in the books, a sort of Dr. Watson figure who accompanied Vance and chronicled his exploits. Vance's character as portrayed in the novels might seem to many modern readers to be supercilious, obnoxiously affected, and highly irritating. He struck some contemporaries that way, as well. At the height of Philo Vance's popularity, comic poet Ogden Nash wrote: "Philo Vance needs a kick in the pance." Famed hardboiled-detective author Raymond Chandler referred to Vance in his essay "The Simple Art of Murder" as "the most asinine character in detective fiction." In Chandler's novel The Lady in the Lake, Marlowe briefly uses Philo Vance as an ironic alias. A criticism of Vance's "phony English accent" also appears in Chandler's Farewell My Lovely. In Chandler's The Big Sleep, Marlowe says he's "not Sherlock Holmes or Philo Vance" and explains that his method owes more to the judgment of character than finding clues the police have missed.
