It is hard to imagine violence on the scale that occurred 30 years ago this spring in Rwanda. But for our guest, Odette Nyiramirimo, she doesn't have to imagine, she can remember.  We are so honored to have Odette on our podcast. She is not only a medical doctor who with her husband founded the first private maternity and pediatrics clinic in Rwanda as well as being a doctor for the Peace Corps, she also served as a senator and as Minister of State for Social Affairs under the government of Paul Kagame. Her account of the genocide is featured heavily in book “We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families” by Philip Gourevitch and is also depicted as a character in the film Hotel Rwanda. She now believes that wellness is the path to helping continue the reconstruction, so she founded the Rushel Kivu Lodge on Lake Kivu, where we had our meditation retreat. Last month when we were in Rwanda, we got to sit down with Odette in person and listened to her life story of what it was like growing up in that country during the growing escalation and then the genocide that took so many including 16 of her 17 siblings and other family members. We also got to hear about how, through her work in both medicine and politics, she played a major role in the rising of Rwanda from the ashes.  We hope you appreciate hearing Odette's story as much as we do. By hearing her firsthand account, it made the atrocities that happened in Rwanda all those years ago seem very real for us and so much more than a historical event.  We wish to acknowledge with utmost respect the lives of all those who lost their homes, their families, their livelihood, their health, or their lives during the violence of the 1994 genocide and all the Rwandan conflicts the late 20th century.“From that time, I never sit. I work every day. I cry when I am telling those stories but the other time I say no crying. I need to make sure no more genocide happen in Rwanda. That my children, my grandchildren, my neighbor's children they need to have a countrywhere they feel safe. Not the country where I grew up.” - Odette NyiramirimoShow Notes:2.00 Odette´s Childhood6.30 1959 and the beginnings of the Genocide10.30 “If we have to die, we die together, but here.” Odette´s Father.13.00 First Private Clinic in Rwanda and the Peace Corps15.40 Surviving the Genocide23.40 “We think the war is finished.

Three decades ago, on April 7th 1994, the genocide and State-sponsored extermination of Rwanda's minority Tutsi minority began. The country was gripped by a wave of unprecedented violence that lasted 100 days and resulted in the deaths of 500,000 men, women and children.“Here you had neighbours killing neighbours, priests killing parishioners, doctors killing patients, teachers killing students,” recalls New Yorker staff writer Philip Gourevitch, interviewed on today's In The News podcast.And while reports and images of these horrific atrocities filled newspapers around the world, the international community just stood by and watched.“Everybody had pulled out and left them, other African countries had betrayed them, no one had come to their defence,” says Gourevitch, whose harrowing account of the genocide We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families was published in 1998. “The lesson of the Rwandan story at that moment in time, in a global sense, was the people who depend on the world for their protection are unprotected.”Following the Rwandan genocide, and the Srebrenica massacre a year later, world leaders pledged never again to stand by and allow such atrocities to unfold. And yet, in the three decades since, millions of citizens have been murdered or starved in conflicts across Africa and the Middle East.Presented by Sorcha Pollak. Produced by John Casey.

Livro em análise: "Queremos Informá-lo que Amanhã Seremos Assassinados com nossas Famílias" de Philip Gourevitch Voz e análise: Jadem Freitas

Em abril, o Clube Rádio Companhia leu “Vozes de Tchernóbil”, de Svetlana Aleksiévitch. * Participaram da conversa: Enrico Sera, do departamento de marketing; Tamiris Busato, assessora de imprensa da Companhia das Letras; e Pedro Telles da Silveira, professor de História Moderna e Metodologias da Pesquisa Histórica na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. * No livro, escrito a partir de entrevista com mais de 500 fontes, numa apuração que durou mais de 10 anos, Aleksiévitch constrói um relato e testemunho da tragédia de Tchernóbil. Em 26 de abril de 1986, explosões seguidas de incêndio na usina nuclear de Tchernóbil, na Ucrânia - então parte da finada União Soviética -, provocou uma catástrofe sem precedentes em toda a era nuclear: uma quantidade imensa de partículas radioativas foi lançada na atmosfera da URSS e em boa parte da Europa. É por meio das múltiplas vozes - de viúvas, trabalhadores afetados, cientistas ainda debilitados pela experiência, soldados, gente do povo - que a autora reconstitui os detalhes e o destino dos indivíduos afetados pela catástrofe. * O episódio contém spoilers e, por vezes, apresenta interferências e ruídos nos microfones por conta da gravação on-line! * INDICAÇÕES Poema “Ocaso do século" (Wislawa Szymborska).

Last week, Russian troops withdrew from Bucha, a suburb of the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. Ukrainians returning to the city discovered the horrific aftermath. According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, more than three hundred civilians in the city were killed. Investigators have found evidence of torture, rape, beheading, dismemberment, and the intentional burning of corpses. A mass grave was dug to accommodate the bodies. Zelensky has referred to the massacre as evidence of genocide. Philip Gourevitch, a New Yorker staff writer, has written for the magazine about the genocides in Rwanda and Cambodia. He joins Dorothy Wickenden to discuss his past reporting, why the “never again” discourse around genocides has failed to prevent them, and whether further war crimes in Ukraine are inevitable.

These days it's hard to feel optimistic about social media, especially if you're working in the news industry. But journalist McKay Coppins discovered it's not all that bad — in fact, it can be quite wonderful. In early June, Coppins went on Twitter to ask for “interesting facts” to tell his two oldest children (aged 6 and 8) before they go to bed. Apparently, his kids had outgrown bedtime stories and were now interested in real-life facts, which is the stuff of serious journalism. Clearly, they take after their father. Coppins was skeptical about how much interest his tweet would spark, thinking that maybe he would get 10 or 20 responses. But within minutes the suggestions stacked up and by the next morning over 3,000 people had written in, each with their own unique morsel of knowledge. Asha Rangappa wrote: “Your foot is the exact length from the crook of your elbow to your wrist.” Anna wrote: “Humans can process three channels of color (red, green and blue), while mantis shrimps perceive the world through 12 channels of color and can detect UV (ultra violet) and polarized light.” Philip Gourevitch simply told Coppins: “Bananas are berries.” Gasp! Coppins, a formidable political journalist and staff writer for The Atlantic, was surprised and delighted at the sheer generosity of his Twitter community. “Twitter — sometimes it's not that bad!” he tweeted out. He even replied to some of his fact-finders. After Sam tweeted a photograph of a coconut covered in stamps and said “You can mail a coconut,” Coppins replied to him: “Used this one tonight!” Some facts were more popular than others. Michael Gallagher's “Cleopatra lived closer to the creation of the iPhone than she did to the building of the Great Pyramid” for example, got over 2,000 likes. Did you know that?

Dig into the forensics of a new kind of noir, climate crime, with acclaimed novelist and nonfiction writer Nathaniel Rich, author of Second Nature: Scenes from a World Remade, and intellectual powerhouse Philip Gourevitch, longtime staff writer for The New Yorker. We'll also revisit the pioneering sonic composition about rewiring the earth's atmosphere: Landfall, the genius collaboration—and now a Grammy Award-winning album—between Laurie Anderson, icon, inventor, and NASA's first artist in residence, and Kronos Quartet. Contributing artist: Joseph Keckler.

Þórarinn discusses American politics with Philip Gourevitch. Philip is a staff writer at the New Yorker and an author of several books. The discussion is focused on how American politics will look like in the post-Trump era and Trump’s impact on the Republican party.

Host Marcia Franklin talks with author and New Yorker magazine writer Philip Gourevitch about the stories he's covered, including the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison. The two discuss what lessons Gourevitch thinks can be learned from these events, and why he is often drawn to subjects that make others look away. In The Ballad of Abu Ghraib, Gourevitch pieced together transcripts of interviews filmmaker Errol Morris conducted with soldiers who were accused of torturing inmates at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Those interviews were also part of a documentary, "Standard Operating Procedure." Gourevitch talks with Franklin about why he thinks some of the soldiers engaged in abusive acts. Gourevitch also authored We Wish to Inform You That Today We Will Be Killed With Our Families, an account of the 1994 mass killing of at least 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus by other Hutus. The book was the recipient of numerous awards.

If you think you're too small to make a difference in the world of fast fashion, think again. As Garik points out, have you ever spent the night with a mosquito? There's no such thing as too small of an impact! In Part 2 of the conversation, Garik and I are discussing how he operates his business, Eco-Stylist, how they deem if brands are ethical and sustainable, and how to watch out for the all-too-common practice of greenwashing! To view the full show notes, continue reading here or visit my website: www.heartfetlhippie.com Garik explains that Eco-Stylist uses high standards to measure how ethical and sustainable brands are. Unfortunately, not all brands are transparent with their manufacturing processes so this isn't always an easy task. Much of the media attempts to compile lists of sustainable brands themselves, but did you know that brands can pay to be associated with terms like “sustainable” even if they're not? Yeah, I'm talking about you, Everlane and H&M! Have no fear - Garik has done the research for us and has lists of brands and even curated collections of items that we can truly trust. Today on the show, Garik also gives tons of recommendations of websites, books, podcasts, and even movies that we can watch to learn more about these things. One of my favorites is his own blog where he deconstructs some of the myths behind ethical fashion. My favorite takeaway from the show today is the call to action that Garik leaves us with to make a difference. We are the change we want to see, and these changes start with us. We can't wait for our institutions to make rules about fast fashion - we have to be the one's to start this process! And the best news is that we already have started to have an impact. Let's keep the momentum going!

Clara Chorley had always wanted to travel to Africa, but due to fear mongering and stories of it being dangerous, it kept pushing her back. However, her deep desire to visit slowly crept up on her, until one day, and after 14 years of procrastination, she couldn’t ignore it anymore and decided to take the leap. Since then, Clara has traveled the world and there’s one thing that she’s consistently noticed throughout every situation: People are inherently good. Don’t let stories of woe and dread hold you back from solo travel and being transformed!   Key Takeaways: *What got Clara started on this path of solo travel? *The United States is so huge and Clara has noticed that a lot of Americans don’t leave the country. *In Europe, it’s just easier to go to a neighboring country and be immersed in a completely different culture. *Clara has seen that there’s a lot of fear-mongering when it comes to traveling to ‘dangerous’ places. *How does Clara know when a place is going to be okay? *It’s very important that you go and get current and recent information about a country. Some places used to be dangerous, but have recovered from their turmoil. *Why did Clara visit Africa? It took her 14 years to take the plunge to go. *After reading the book We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families, Clara was READY. She didn’t want to wait anymore. She Had To Go! *Through Clara’s work, she speaks with so many people who are in the late 50s who have ‘put it off’ and are miserable for doing so. *You don’t need to make the full jump, you just need to be a little awakened so you can see what you’re missing and push yourself closer and closer to your dreams. *Where has Clara traveled to that has really made an impact on her life? *When you’re dealing with risk, you do need to test yourself so you know what your boundaries are. *We’re designed to feel alive, that’s why we crave it! It’s our birthright. *Remember, people are inherently good. *What kind of work does Clara do and how does she help others?   Mentioned in This Episode: Transformviatravel.com Transform via Travel on Facebook @GoSoloLive on Twitter Email: Jennifer@TransformviaTravel.com Patreon.com/gosololive We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families, by Philip Gourevitch   Connect with Clara: Website Clara in LinkedIn   Leave a Review: Did you like this episode?

This week we're joined by musician and author James McBride, who returns to the Library to mark the paperback publication of his book,Kill 'Em and Leave: Searching for James Brown and the American Soul.He's joined by journalist and author Philip Gourevitch for a conversation the covers the tensions and contradictions of the American experience: between North and South, black and white, rich and poor.

The Way to the Spring: Life and Death in Palestine (Penguin Press) From an award-winning journalist, a brave and necessary immersion into the everyday struggles of Palestinian life. Over the past three years, American writer Ben Ehrenreich has been traveling to and living in the West Bank, staying with Palestinian families in its largest cities and its smallest villages. Along the way he has written major stories for American outlets, including a remarkable "New York Times Magazine" cover story. Now comes the powerful new work that has always been his ultimate goal, The Way to the Spring.  We are familiar with brave journalists who travel to bleak or war-torn places on a mission to listen and understand, to gather the stories of people suffering from extremes of oppression and want: Katherine Boo, Ryszard Kapuciski, Ted Conover, and Philip Gourevitch among them. Palestine is, by any measure, whatever one's politics, one such place. Ruled by the Israeli military, set upon and harassed constantly by Israeli settlers who admit unapologetically to wanting to drive them from the land, forced to negotiate an ever more elaborate and more suffocating series of fences, checkpoints, and barriers that have sundered home from field, home from home, this is a population whose living conditions are unique, and indeed hard to imagine. In a great act of bravery, empathy and understanding, Ben Ehrenreich, by placing us in the footsteps of ordinary Palestinians and telling their story with surpassing literary power and grace, makes it impossible for us to turn away. Praise for The Way to the Spring "Ben Ehrenreich's rendition of the Palestinian experience is powerful, deep and heartbreaking, so much closer to the ground than the Middle East reporting we usually see. I wish there were more writers as brave."--Adam Hochschild "As heart-breaking as it is, The Way to the Spring is also a strangely joyful book, because Ehrenreich grasps the essence of the Palestinian struggle: not Islam, or even nationalism, but the stubborn refusal of injustice, the restless search for how it would feel to be free, as Nina Simone said. The Way to the Spring is more than a work of journalism. It is a freedom song, burning with humanity."--Adam Shatz Ben Ehrenreich is a journalist whose writing has appeared in LA Weekly, the Village Voice, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times Book Review, and many other publications. He lives in Los Angeles.

Introduced by Peter Donaldson, Edited and Mixed at dBs Music'I have written a blasphemous book', said Melville when his novel was first published in 1851, 'and I feel as spotless as the lamb'. Deeply subversive, in almost every way imaginable, Moby-Dick is a virtual, alternative bible - and as such, ripe for reinterpretation in this new world of new media. Out of Dominion was born its bastard child - or perhaps its immaculate conception - the Moby-Dick Big Read: an online version of Melville's magisterial tome: each of its 135 chapters read out aloud, by a mixture of the celebrated and the unknown, to be broadcast online, one new chapter each day, in a sequence of 135 downloads, publicly and freely accessible.Starting 16 September 2012!For more info please go to: www.mobydickbigread.com
