Podcasts about one hundred years

This week we take a look at two novels that were on last year's reading list. Why are we revisiting them? Because we only read a couple of chapters of each one, and that wasn't enough!First up, Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I shared last year that this was one I only had bad memories of from high school, but rediscovering it as an adult was a real treat. In particular, we talk about:The centrality of Huck's relationship with Jim, and how Huck grows and changesTwain's remarkable use of vernacularThe vivid locations and their relationship to Twain's earlier writingFinally, we get into the details of the ending—it's fairly controversial. Did Twain rush the ending or did he mean it as a warning on the nature of change?Then we move on to Gabriel Garcia-Marquez' One Hundred Years of Solitude. This is a beautiful book, not for everyone but certainly a great book. We discuss:Generational novels, and how the structure cyclical patterns and repeated names creates a dreamlike mood for this novelHow the magical realism here emerges as a natural part of the environment and not through any apparent supernatural activityVarious tensions, like isolation and connection, or ephemerality and stability, that are at work both in the family and the town of Macondo.Whether the town of Macondo is itself the main character of the novel.Finally, we end with a couple of things I've learned lately that are improving my reading. First, I've started to recognize that writing a little about each book helps me to resolve what I think about that book. Second, great (and even good) books tend to illuminate each other, making your world bigger, while less worthy books tend to run together. Another argument for great books!LINKThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rCONNECTTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/Like what you heard?

Anthony Flint, Senior Fellow for the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, joined the podcast to talk about his recent article on the 100 year anniversary of the Supreme Court case Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co. That landmark case established the constitutionality of zoning as a police power for local governments and still impacts the built environment we have today. He talked about the impact of that decision and how zoning is losing ground today as states and cities across the country rethink their approach to land use. He also shared some of his other research and work on land use and the resources that the Lincoln Institute has for local governments working to create more community benefit from their land.

How has international law been strategically deployed to shape the Palestinian struggle for freedom across a century-long arc, from the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to present-day wars in Gaza.  Join host Sahar Aziz in conversation with Noura Erakat about the promise and risk of international law in the pursuit of Palestinian freedom and the broader relationship between law and liberation. Our discussion examines the concept of "legal work"—the deliberate efforts by powerful actors to bend legal doctrine to their objectives—and how this has transformed international law to advance certain interests over others. We delve into the "sovereign exception" framework that has enabled the creation of exceptional legal categories excluding Palestinians from otherwise applicable protections, from the British Mandate period through Israeli occupation and colonization. Legal strategies have been used to consolidate territorial control, facilitate dispossession, and legitimize military tactics that compromise civilian protections globally, while also exploring moments when weaker actors have leveraged law's emancipatory potential through strategic and tactical ingenuity. Professor Noura Erakat's groundbreaking work demonstrates that the law's current outcomes were never inevitable—that law is politics, and its meaning depends on political intervention by states and people alike. Through original interviews with principals from Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and comprehensive historical analysis, she reveals how Palestinian leaders gained significant legal victories at the UN before eventually exchanging hard-won international recognition for a bilateral peace process that accelerated their dispossession. Her work shows both the profound limitations of international law when serving the powerful and its counterintuitive utility when mobilized in support of political movements seeking liberation. BiographyNoura Erakat is Professor of Africana Studies and Criminal Justice at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. She is the author of Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine (Stanford University Press, 2019), which received the Palestine Book Award and the Bronze Medal for the Independent Publishers Book Award in Current Events/Foreign Affairs. She is a legal scholar with research interests in humanitarian law, human rights law, critical race theory, national security law, and Palestinian Studies. She has published over two dozen academic articles and book chapters, including in the American Journal of International Law, American Quarterly, and the Oxford Bibliographies in International Law. Recommended ReadingNoura Erakat, Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine (Stanford 2019)Rashid Khalidi, The One Hundred Years' War on Palestine (MacMillan 2020)#Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Genocide #ICC #HumanRights #InternationalLawSupport the showSupport the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation:Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEbUfYcWGZapBNYvCObiCpp3qtxgH_jFy Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr

America thinks it knows the story of the border. According to New York Times political reporter and author Jazmine Ulloa, it doesn't.Jazmine joins Chuck Rocha and Mike Madrid to discuss her groundbreaking new book El Paso — part memoir, part history, part love story — and why the city at the heart of America's immigration debate has been misread, misrepresented, and misused for decades.Jazmine was sitting in a movie theater when her phone wouldn't stop buzzing. The 2019 El Paso mass shooting, a racially motivated attack three minutes from where she went to high school, became the catalyst for a book years in the making. Through the stories of five families who crossed through El Paso dating back to the Mexican Revolution, Jazmine dismantles the myth of the "Hispanic invasion" and reveals a city that existed long before the United States did.From the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to family separations under the bridge, from Los Niños Héroes to the rise of the grand replacement theory, El Paso makes the case that this isn't a border crisis. It's a mirror.Chuck and Mike also dig into the California Governor's race, breaking down the Eric Swalwell implosion, Xavier Becerra's surge among working-class Latino voters, and why with early ballots dropping in two weeks, the real election has already begun.In This Episode:How the 2019 El Paso shooting launched Jazmine's journey to write the bookWhy El Paso, not Ellis Island, is the true lens for understanding American immigrationNativism, xenophobia and the grand replacement theory: what history actually showsWhy working-class Latinos feel abandoned by both political partiesThe California Governor's race: Becerra, Swalwell, Villaraigosa and early voting is right around the cornerLatino Vote Summit: June 23rd, Washington D.C.-We highly recommend Jazmine's book: El Paso: Five Families and One Hundred Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory.Buy it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/El-Paso-Families-Hundred-Migration/dp/0593471865-Recorded April 22, 2026-Referenced in the episode:The New York Times - A Startlingly Vivid Portrait of El Paso, and of America: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/books/review/el-paso-jazmine-ulloa.htmlDon't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more episodes of The Latino Vote Podcast!Watch our episodes on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@thelatinovotepodcastFind us on Substack: https://substack.com/@thelatinovotepodcastFollow us on X (formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/TheLatino_VoteVisit our website for the latest Latino Vote news and subscribe to our newsletter: latinos.voteIf you want more of our discussions and behind the scenes please join our Patreon (www.patreon.com/thelatinovote) for exclusive content and opportunities!

In this episode of Words on a Wire, host Will Rose sits down with Jazmine Ulloa, national political and immigration reporter for The New York Times, to discuss her powerful new book, El Paso: Five Families and One Hundred Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory.Ulloa traces the lives of five families across more than a century to tell a sweeping, deeply human story of migration, identity, and belonging. Through these interwoven narratives, she repositions El Paso—not as a peripheral border city, but as a central force in shaping American history and immigration policy.The conversation explores Ulloa's own journey from a high school newsroom in El Paso to the national stage, as well as the formative reporting experiences that shaped her approach to storytelling. She reflects on covering the 2019 El Paso Walmart shooting in her hometown, a moment that became the emotional and intellectual catalyst for her book.Drawing from years of reporting and archival research, Ulloa reveals how today's immigration debates are rooted in a long and often overlooked history—one marked by cycles of enforcement, resistance, and resilience. Throughout the episode, she brings a journalist's rigor and a storyteller's sensitivity to the question of how borders shape not only policy, but people's lives.This is a conversation about history, memory, and the enduring role of migration in defining what it means to be American.

Jazmine Ulloa is a national reporter who covers immigration for The New York Times and is the author of the new book "El Paso: Five Families and One Hundred Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory." It's a sweeping, deeply researched look at one of the most overlooked regions in the American West. Born and raised in El Paso, Jazmine brings both a journalist's discipline and a personal connection to the story, weaving together archival research, oral histories, and her own family background to explore how this border community has shaped the broader story of the United States. What makes Jazmine's work especially compelling is the path she took to get here. She started reporting as a teenager, crossing the border with her grandmother to interview families affected by violence… real, high-stakes journalism while she was still in high school. From there, she worked her way up through local papers across Texas, covering crime, courts, and immigration, eventually moving into national political reporting and earning her role at The New York Times. It's a career built the old-fashioned way: curiosity, extreme hard work, and a clear sense of purpose. In this conversation, Jazmine and I focus on the long, layered history of El Paso and the surrounding borderlands—how people, cultures, and economies have moved through this region for generations, shaping the Southwest in ways that often go unrecognized. More than anything, this is a conversation about people and place. By following the lives of five families across generations, Jazmine brings a human lens to a complicated history, one that is rich with resilience, identity, and connection, and that adds real depth to our understanding of the American West. This is a thoughtful conversation with a very smart, purpose-driven author that adds some much needed historical context to this current moment in American culture. I think you'll enjoy it and learn a lot. --- Jazmine Ulloa El Paso: Five Families and One Hundred Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/jazmine-ulloa --- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Mountain & Prairie is listener supported via Patreon, and brought to you with support from the Central Grasslands Roadmap, The Nature Conservancy in Colorado, North Bridger Bison, and the Old Salt Co-op for their generous sponsorship. --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 0:00 - Introducing Jazmine Ulloa and highlighting Good News and book recs 5:47 - How Jazmine ended up in El Paso 12:34 - Pursuing journalism as a career 18:19 - Going to the border for the story 23:02 - Getting to the New York Times 27:09 - Jazmine's speciality 30:27 - Dealing with trauma 32:38 - Getting into Jazmine's book 36:01 - Fear of the unknown 36:55 - 2019 El Paso shooting 41:29 - Seeing history reflected in the present 46:56 - Leaning into the complexity 49:33 - Focusing on family 54:20 - Knowing her hometown better? 57:44 - Time management at its best 1:00:24 - Book recs 1:02:34 - Wrapping up --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

For Week 48 of Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities List, I step into the strange, shimmering world of Kafka's Metamorphosis, Borges' Ficciones, and Garcia Marquez' One Hundred Years of Solitude.We start with a review of myth, fantasy, fairy stories, and magic: why we need them and what purpose they can serve in our lives (aside from being really fun). Kafka's tragic insect-turned-son is an isolated, powerless creature, unable to find even a way to communicate. Borges dazzles at a remove, writing about books that never existed and worlds that ought to. García Márquez slows us down in Macondo, Colombia, where memory, invention, and the wonder seep into ordinary life.Together, they sketch the contours of magical realism, worlds where the bizarre is presented as normal and the universe feels just slightly tilted. It's a genre I love, one that resists strict materialism and invites wonder back into fiction.And for art? We look at **La Sagrada Familia**—Gaudí's breathtaking, almost-otherworldly cathedral—an architectural reminder that the strange and the sacred often live side by side.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino are joined by Zen Buddhist nun Sister True Dedication to celebrate the legacy of Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay)'s teachings, and how they have impacted both them and the broader community.  This milestone instalment of the podcast – the 100th episode! – coincides with the centenary of Thich Nhat Hanh's birth. As well as discussing the purpose of the podcast series, the contributors reflect upon Thay’s compassion, and commitment to relieving suffering – and the monastic tradition's importance to the preservation and transmission of these teachings. The discussion also takes in topics such as the evolution of Plum Village; the development of an online monastery, to make Plum Village’s teachings more accessible; and the need for ethical values and mindful living in the face of global crises, and Plum Village's aim to be a community of resistance, embodying a way of life that is in harmony with the Earth and with each other. All this and: how has the podcast transformed the lives of its hosts?

You’re both wonderfully descriptive in how you talk about both your own spiritual lives, and seeking, and your own experiences – and those of the people around us, here, in the community.” “Thay’s bodhicitta really sets him apart from many other leading spiritual figures, perhaps in that he was relentless in his creativity and his determination to relieve suffering and to find universal paths out of it. And something else that set him apart was that he didn’t offer the Buddha Dharma for Buddha Dharma’s sake: he wasn’t interested in the success of Buddhism per se; he wanted humanity to be a better species and he wanted human actions to not bring so much suffering to humans and to the planet.” “Thay transcended even Zen and Buddhism. He was an extraordinary human who wanted to share and develop practices and ways of being in the world, through mindfulness, through the Five Mindfulness Trainings and the 14 Mindfulness Trainings: concrete ways that we can cultivate ourselves to be better humans – an unusual legacy for a Zen master.” “Thay wanted every moment of his presence to manifest right action in the world. He wasn’t interested in small talk.” “A monastic only retires when he transforms and lets go.” “This is it. Stop searching, stop running.” “A lotus will be a lotus. And a rose will be a rose. And a magnolia will be a magnolia. But if we try to be everything, then we’re going to be nothing. And then we don’t know how to nurture the lotus, because the lotus is very particular; it needs mud. A rose is very particular, too; it needs a different setting.” “This is not an era of change, it’s a change of era.” “The primary direction that Thay gave us was to be a community of simplicity, of peace, of awareness, and of embracing suffering. Be that community. Which, by the way, is a really tall order.” “One of our first missions as monastics is to embody a way of living that is happy, harmonious, and different. And then to hold that light for future generations, outside of the rat race. A lot of monastic communities throughout history have emerged from this kind of intention: to not follow the path of getting a job, getting a mortgage, becoming householders, getting a pension, and being part of the machine. We step outside of that in order to cultivate different qualities.” “The algorithms, the screens, the politics, the lobbies, the economics are all taking us towards the worst of human nature. So we have to be able to say, ‘Well, we’re going to stand for the better parts of human nature.' And that’s going to be important: for us to lift up in the world, and to know that we have had ancestors, over the millennia, who were interested in cultivating non-violence, compassion, tolerance, inclusiveness, generosity, well-being, health. And we have to take our society in that direction and not give up on it. Because otherwise it becomes a dog-eat-dog world where we’re all scrambling over each other in a race to the bottom of the brainstem. So, one of our roles in Plum Village is to help people not give up on the ethical values that are needed now more than ever.” “When people leave Plum Village, they don’t leave with nothing. They leave with the world. They leave for the path. And we’re there to support that through the sanghas, through all our online offerings. And here is a community that's navigating this, evolving this, updating it, exploring it. The world passes through Plum Village, and, from that, we grow so much.” “We’re a light in the world. So wherever there’s darkness, light is there. We just have to search for it, or stop, pause, and know that that light is there.”

In so many spaces, celebrating Black History History month means learning a few fun facts about famous African Americans. But Black History Month was designed to be much more radical — it was an opportunity for Black communities to learn about the aspects of their history that had been downplayed, diminished, or even actively suppressed. Teaching Black history was seen as a threat to the powers that be back in 1926, much as it is today.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Michael speaks with David Shimer, author of "Rigged: America, Russia, and One Hundred Years of Covert Electoral Interference." Shimer traces a century of CIA and KGB election meddling, drawing parallels to Russia's role in 2016 and beyond. Together, they explore the history, methods, and moral questions behind covert electoral operations—and what it means for the future of democracy. Original air date 30 June 2020. The book was published on 30 June 2020. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The weakness of our current version of AI is that it extracts its knowledge only from what we have taught it.Things that are rarely done are difficult for AI to imitate.AI has confidence in things that are repeated online ad infinitum.*Predictable ads follow the orthodox guidelines taught in every college in America. AI can find countless examples of these ads online. This is why AI can write predictable ads that look, feel, sound and smell like all those other predictable ads.Predictability is a thief that robs you in broad daylight.If you want your ads to remarkably outperform the predictable ads written by AI; if you want your ads to be noticed and remembered; you must do what is rarely done.Enter your subject from a new angle, a surprising angle, a different angle.Write an opening line that makes no sense.Cause that opening line to make perfect sense in less than 30 seconds.This technique is known as Random Entry and almost no one ever uses it.“I'm John Hayes and I'm talking today with GoGo Gecko.”“I was a 10-year-old boy holding a flashlight for my father.”“Mr. Jenkins?”“Yes, Bobby.”“How much should a hamster weigh?”“There's Elmer Fudd, Elmer's Glue, and me, Elmer Zubiate.”Random Entry is not orthodox. Random Entry is not predictable.“What makes our company, our product, our service different from our competitors?”If you ask yourself that question, you will come up with the same 3 or 4 opening lines that each of your competitors will come up with when they ask those same questions. Your ads, and their ads, will look, feel, sound and smell like ads.When you begin in a predictable way, it is hard to be unpredictable.AI ads feel like ads because AI cannot (1.) identify, (2.) justify, or (3.) rectify Random Entry.Identify.AI cannot find examples of what does not exist. But you can create it.Justify.AI cannot bridge a random opening line into an unrelated subject. But you can build that bridge.Rectify.AI cannot reconcile a random opening line so that it makes perfect sense. But you can create a metaphor out of thin air.When a novel becomes a bestselling book that gets made into a movie, you can be certain that it was built upon a weird and unexpected – but highly engaging – opening line.“Call me Ishmael.”– Herman Melville, Moby-Dick“Where's Papa going with that axe?”– E.B. White, Charlotte's Web“Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.”– Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”– George Orwell, 1984“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”– Leo Tolstoy, Anna KareninaChoose any one of those opening lines and tell your favorite AI to write an ad for your business using EXACTLY that line as the opening line. If your AI is successful, it will be due to the fact that you gave it a series of extremely insightful prompts. (Probably based on some of the things you learned in this Monday Morning Memo.)Srinivas Rao recently wrote, “Confessions of a Master Bullshit Artist, aka ChatGPT.”You think I'm a genius. I'm not. I'm an overconfident parrot in a lab coat.I don't know anything, check anything...

The inaugural meeting of the Women's Division of the New Zealand Farmers' Union was held the following morning, 28 July 1925 - one hundred years ago today. While there's since been a name change to Rural Women New Zealand, the organisation continues to play a vital contribution to supporting and advocating for women and the farming communities. Sandra Mathews is the president of Rural Women New Zealand speaks to Jesse.

“The greatest polluting element in the earth's environment is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields. I consider that to be a far greater threat on a global scale than warming, or the increase of chemical elements in the environment.” Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! In this episode, we're diving into The Body Electric by Robert O. Becker, a fascinating read on how electricity flows through the body and the ways it might influence healing, health, and even consciousness. Becker, a pioneer in bioelectricity, lays out connections between injury recovery, electromagnetic fields, and the body's natural currents. We cover a wide range of topics including: The link between magnetic storms and spikes in psychiatric admissions How the body's healing process relies on electric signals Diet, metabolism, and avoiding the “swamp” Modern concerns about EMF exposure from wifi, Bluetooth, and power lines The crossover between bioelectricity and mitochondrial theory And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

Nat, Neil, and Adil catch up and share some recent long reads that delivered a good payoff. (4:11) Today's discussion is on The Body Electric by Robert O. Becker, a deep dive into the body's electrical systems and what they mean for healing, health, and human potential. (8:59) Psychiatric admissions spike after magnetic storms... why is that? And how injuries can disrupt your body's electrical current, slowing down the healing process. (15:05) We explore the overlap between Becker's ideas and theories on mitochondrial efficiency, including connections to Ray Peat's metabolic philosophies. (20:57) Energy flow, metabolism, and how different diets affect the body's ability to generate and use energy. (25:25) Why you should avoid the “swamp”. With all the conflicting diet advice out there, how do we know what to eat? (28:50) Mitochondria and the electrical nature of cells. While Becker doesn't directly mention mitochondria, modern science connects the dots. (33:05) Neil shares his findings from using an EMF meter around the house. We talk about everyday EMF exposure and what to avoid. (37:49) What does Deep Research have to say about some of the claims in the book? (43:37) Living near high-voltage power lines, earbuds, and lifestyle changes we've made (or not made) since reading the book.  (48:55) Bluetooth vs. wifi: Is one worse than the other in terms of EMF exposure? (52:07) Nat, Neil, and Adil wrap up the episode with chats about what book is next on the podcast. Thanks for listening to this episode!

In this episode of Filmmaker Mixer, we sit down with La Tina—the acclaimed Colombian sound collective made up of Andrés Silva Díaz, Alejandro Uribe-Holguín, and Manuel José Gordillo. Together, they form the sonic force behind Netflix's ambitious adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude, based on the novel by Gabriel García Márquez. We explore their creative process, the cultural and technical challenges of bringing the world of Macondo to life through sound, and how their work pays tribute to the magical realism of Márquez's masterpiece. From atmospheric design to emotional texture, this is an immersive conversation about sound as storytelling.

There's so much to say about the Latin American Boom in literature, but how can we possibly discuss it at this point in time without mentioning Mario Vargas Llosa and his recent passing. And so, as a Colombia-focused podcast, we take a look at this era and these personalities in the literary world, such as Colombia's inimitable Gabriel Garcia Marquez but through the prism of Mario Vargas Llosa. With very special guest Juan E. De Castro, professor of literary studies at Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts at The New School. Author of Writing Revolution in Latin America: From Martí to García Márquez to Bolaño and Bread and Beauty: The Cultural Politics of José Carlos Mariátegui, among other works, we discuss a variety of topics relating to but not restricted to: 1. The Latin American Boom. 2. Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and "that punch." 3. The importance of the Latin American Boom. 4. The end of this literary milestone. 5. One Hundred Years of Solitude - the Netflix version.  And so much more, including the Colombia Briefing with Emily Hart.
