On December 21, 2025, activist and trailblazer Betty Reid Soskin passed away in Richmond, California. She was 104. Over the years we've chronicled Betty's remarkable story and want to share it today in honor of Betty and Black History Month.In 2011, at age 89, Betty became America's oldest national park service ranger, a position she held until she retired at 100. Her bold and forthright tours and talks at the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front Museum were legendary. As a Black woman who worked in the segregated war effort, she spoke from her personal experience revealing a fuller, richer understanding of the World War II years experienced by women and people of color on the home front.Betty's Creole/Cajun family was from New Orleans and her great grandmother had been born into slavery in 1846. Displaced by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, Betty moved with her family to Oakland, where she grew up in the late 20s and 30s. During WWII she worked as a file clerk for Boilermakers Union A-36, a Jim Crow all Black union auxiliary, where she witnessed firsthand the discrimination faced by Black workers in the wartime industry.Betty raised four children in the highly segregated Diablo Valley area where the family was subject to death threats. She and her first husband, Mel Reid, owned one of the first Black record shops west of the Mississippi located in Berkeley. She also worked as a Field Representative for California State Assembly women Dion Aroner and Lonnie Hancock. In 2016, at age 94, Betty survived a violent home invasion and returned to work at the Rosie the Riveter Museum just weeks later.A singer, songwriter, poet and musician, Betty chronicled her life and work in a memoir, "Sign My Name to Freedom," which inspired both a stage play and a documentary film. Betty received numerous awards and honors throughout her life, including a presidential coin from Barack Obama in 2015 after she lit the national Christmas tree at the White House.Special thanks to: The San Francisco Public Library and Shawna Sherman of the African American Center of the San Francisco Main Library; This is Love Podcast and creators Phoebe Judge and Lauren Spohrer; and A Lifetime of Being Betty, a Little Village Foundation recording release produced by Mike Kappus.

You might know Phoebe Judge as the host of the podcast Criminal, now celebrating its tenth year. Depending on where you live, you might also know her for her clamshell driveway because she has one of those. It's an indication of how very much she loves clams and how much she loves clamming, which is the term for going out to the ocean and digging up clams. Phoebe talks us through the different kinds of clams she encounters from her Cape Cod adventures. More like Cape CLAM, I should say. No, I shouldn't. Sometimes Phoebe has a hard time giving away all the clams she has dug up, in which case she simply puts the bewildered li'l guys back in the ocean.Mentioned in this episodePhoebe Judge (IG)Phoebe Judge (Twitter)Phoebe's podcastsCriminalPhoebe Reads a MysteryThis Is LoveHey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?

J. Drew Lanham is a 2022 MacArthur Fellowship Recipient, an Alumni Distinguished Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Master Teacher at Clemson University, an ornithologist, poet, and essayist, and he's also a native of Edgefield, SC, where he grew up on lots of fresh veggies from the garden and the occasional Krispy Kreme doughnut from trips to Augusta. I first encountered him like many of you will today -- on a podcast, This is Love with Phoebe Judge to be exact -- and his joyful and accurate renditions of birdcalls sustained me through that dark spring of 2020 when the world was shut down and reeling. Since his work resonates with me so much, I invited him to chat about food, and when he accepted, he decided to read two never-before released poems on the subject. We dive deep into BBQ and SC Foodways here, as he invites us to consider the intersection of race, history, identity, and the very nature of language to name a thing, be it a pig or a person.

Betty Reid Soskin, the nation's oldest serving Park Ranger, works at the Rose the Riveter / World War II Homefront National Historic Park in Richmond, CA. Her tours and talks are hot ticket items. As a Black woman who worked in the segregated war effort, her perspective helps reveal a fuller, richer understanding of the World War II years on the Homefront as experienced by women and people of color. In celebration of Betty Reid Soskin's 100th year we've curated a kind of mix tape of Betty stories— stories gathered and preserved by producers and archivists over the years. Betty was born September 22, 1921. Her Creole / Cajun family was from New Orleans and her great grandmother had been born into slavery in 1846. Betty grew up in Oakland in the 1920s and 30s, raised four children in the highly segregated Diablo Valley area where the family was subject to death threats. During WWII she works as a file clerk for Boilermakers Union A-36, a Jim Crow all black union auxiliary. She and her first husband, Mel Reid, owned one of the first Black record shops west of the Mississippi located in Berkeley. Betty is an activist, a singer, songwriter, poet musician. She was a Field Representative for California State Assembly women Dion Aroner and Lonnie Hancock. Special thanks to: This is Love Podcast and creators Phoebe Judge and Lauren Spohrer; The San Francisco Public Library and Shawna Sherman of the African American Center of the San Francisco Main Library; and A Lifetime of Being Betty, a Little Village Foundation recording release produced by Mike Kappus. Thanks also to Betty's son, musician and songwriter Bob Reid.

In May 1991, a bank robber walked into a bank in Irving, Texas, and without speaking handed the teller a note that read, “This is a bank robbery. Give me your money. No marked bills or dye packs.” Witnesses reported that the robber was wearing a cowboy hat and a brown leather jacket. And then it happened again. And again. But when FBI agents finally got a lead, they discovered that the robber wasn't who they expected at all… This week, Snap proudly presents, Criminal, from PRX's Radiotopia!

In the inaugural episode of Crime F***ers, Caitlin and Molly talk about Criminal, the true crime podcast hosted by Phoebe Judge. They think it is good, but also sort of for true crime softies with a lower tolerance for morbid subject matter. They talk about their childhood experiences with crime and fear, how much they take the criminal's side, and how much they love to be freaked out by freaky ass stuff. Let's get this party started.
In this episode, Phoebe Judge of Criminal interviews Officer Alex Murphy, a police officer in Detroit who becomes one of the most famous cops of all time. This episode is an homage/parody of Criminal, one of the best true crime podcasts--or just podcasts--out there, but set in an alternate future of Detroit. Go to thisiscriminal.com or iTunes to listen to more Criminal. Big thanks to our voice cast. Justin Rupple, who played Officer Murphy is literally one of the best impressionists in the world. If you don’t know his name yet, you will. You can follow Justin Rupple on Twitter @therupple and Instagram @therupple and Facebook. And huge, gigantic thanks to Angela Sonner for her fantastic impression of Phoebe Judge. (Spec Media is a parody podcast and we are unaffiliated with any outside podcasts or media properties.)

Piper Weiss returned for a 1993 Lifetime movie about Tennessee baby broker Georgia Tann, Stolen Babies, that won Mary Tyler Moore an Emmy. Is this a notch above the usual '90s Lifetime fare, or do the accents ruin the relatively snappy pacing and shockingly direct villainy of Tann's actions? We dug into the Tann story thanks to the second part of the podcast: Kevin Smokler's conversation with Criminal and This Is Love host and co-creator Phoebe Judge from April 22, 2020. They talked about everything from Criminal's production timeline, to staying out of "the gotcha game," to how to report mainstream crime stories, to...well, Georgia Tann. Criminal has never missed a drop date or taken a break, so we're extra-glad Ms. Judge made time to talk to us. Get your paperwork in order for an all-new episode of The Blotter Presents.

Where some crime shows spin their speculative wheels or endlessly whip listeners back and forth between evidence of innocence or guilt, “Criminal” looks beyond the headlines and instead delves deep and focuses on the human moments and stories that lurk behind the headlines. Host Sarah Fenske talks to “Criminal” podcast’s co-creators, Phoebe Judge and Lauren Spohrer about what local fans can look forward to at the Pageant later this year. They also touch on the evolution of the show, how they’ve gone about expanding their repertoire to include “This Is Love” and “Phoebe Reads A Mystery”, and some of the most memorable St. Louis-related episodes of “Criminal.”
Surprise! Perhaps against the judgement of their better selves, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond are back with a special Skype-assisted episode of The Writer and the Critic. From their self-isolated COVID-19 bunkers*, they reconvene to chat about some of the things that have made them happy since the last episode aired back in December 2017. Or, indeed, are making them happy right now. Here's the list of links in order of discussion: 1. The Migration by Helen Marshall (recommended by Kirstyn) 2. Some Good News YouTube channel (recommended by Ian) 3. Mothers Grimm by Danielle Wood (Kirstyn) 4. Victorian Premier Dan Andrews on Twitter and Facebook (Ian) 5. Eye in the Sky (Kirstyn) 6. The Good Place (Kirstyn) 7. Science Vs podcast (Ian) 8. The Allusionist podcast (Kirstyn) 9. The Memory Palace podcast (Kirstyn) 10. Backlisted podcast (Ian) 11. Phoebe Judge reading classic mystery stories on the Criminal podcast (Kirstyn) 12. The Mere Wife by Maria Dahvana Headley (Kirstyn) 13. We All Hear Stories in the Dark by Robert Shearman (Ian) 14. "10 Minutes with ..." series on the Coode Street Podcast Will there be another episode of The Writer and the Critic? Kirstyn and Ian are not sure! It depends on how bored and lonely they get! Or how many people send them feedback that does not include death threats! But they want you to know that they love you and miss you and hope you are all keeping safe and healthy in these strange and difficult times. * Comfortable suburban loungerooms

Aujourd'hui dans Puzzle, Merry Royer vous partage les podcasts américains à écouter de toute urgence !Pour commencer, rien de mieux que la voix préférée des Américains, celle d’Ira Glass, l’animateur du très reconnue This American Life.Le pitch : chaque semaine un thème est choisi et des histoires sont finement sélectionnées pour l’illustrer. Alors dit comme ça, ça paraît simple; presque facile mais pas du tout, c'est tout un art. Et il n'y a pas deux épisodes qui se ressemblent, c'est avant tout une expérience sonore, sociale et culturelle fabriqué de toutes pièces par un team de journaliste brillantissime. Cette émission hebdomadaire d'une heure, existe depuis 1995, cette semaine est sortie l’épisode 698 ... Diffusé à la radio et en podcast l’émission cumul 5,8 millions d’écoutes par semaine... une dinguerie !Pour continuer dans la vague des histoires,il faut écouter The Moth radio Hour. Alors là c'est vraiment la tradition américaine du pur storytelling en live. À chaque émission, sont réunis sur les scènes des personnes qui viennent partager un peu de leur chemin avec nous. C’est fou ! Le podcast existe depuis 2009, mais le collectif a été fondé en 97 par le poète et romancier Georges Dawes Green.Et pour finir je voudrai vous parler de la voix la plus envoutante d’Amérique : il s'agit de Phoebe Judge, la cocréatrice du podcast Criminal. En trente minutes, on découvre une injustice, une enquête, dans laquelle Phoebe nous déroule les faits avec son invité. Toutes les deux semaines une nouvelle histoire a découvrir. Lancé en 2014, ce podcast nous plonge dans les raisons profondes du fameux "passage à l’acte". Phoebe Judge a décliné son concept en version plus gaie et moins criminelle avec le programme This is Love. Cette fois-ci même concept d’enquête mais autour de l’amour.Liens :https://www.thisamericanlife.org/https://www.thisamericanlife.org/640/five-womenhttps://www.themoth.org/https://thisiscriminal.com/https://www.radiotopia.fm/podcasts/this-is-love See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The five-part documentary series from Starz, Leavenworth, looks at the very complicated case of Clint Lorance, and after the first episode, guest Jeb Lund and I were a little impatient with the painstaking set-up -- but mostly because we wanted more of the textured, compelling stories that all converge on a single incident in 2012. Will we keep watching? And should you? Later, we revisit what's probably an all-time top-ten true-crime topic: the 1962 escape from Alcatraz, this time as considered by Phoebe Judge on Criminal. I'm seldom NOT going to recommend a Criminal episode, and this one's no different -- so why is that? What sets Criminal's treatment of this well-trodden ground apart? And what do Jeb and I think happened to the three who got out? Dig, dash, dive into The Blotter Presents, Episode 117.

In the last episode, we explored defense mechanisms - all the things we do to cope psychologically with various threats in our day to day lives. One of the biggest threats we find ourselves defending against as conscious beings is the unknown in its many forms. So in this episode we're gonna dig into all of that excitement - like, how we develop narratives and strategies to get through uncertainty. And what happens when life tears through those structures like an F-5 tornado. This episode features an interview with Phoebe Judge of the podcasts Criminal and This is Love.
