Isn't Gettysburg history so interesting, the more you dig into it? We think it is. And this one is something we would have loved to witness.  In 1922, the US Marine Corps was fighting for its life. Many in Washington, including the Commander-in-Chief, wanted to disband the Marines even though they fought valiantly in WWI. So, the Marines campaigned to stay alive by showing the American People who they are and why they're needed.  General John A. Lejeune had two goals for the Marine Corps. He wanted Marines to become better fighters by learning from past wars and testing new ways to fight. But he also wanted the American people to see the value of the Marine Corps at a time when some people were questioning whether the country even needed it. Instead of holding military exercises in places far from the public, Lejeune wanted to bring the Marines to famous historic sites where people could watch them train. As Gunnery Sergeant Thomas E. Williams explained, the Marines could practice working with artillery, armor, and aircraft while also putting themselves in front of the American public. Gettysburg was a perfect place to do it. At the time, Gettysburg and other national battlefields were still controlled by the U.S. War Department. That meant they could be used for military training. General Smedley D. Butler took command of the Marine base at Quantico, Virginia, in June 1920. He is credited with the idea of holding these exercises on famous American battlefields. Butler believed the Marines could study the decisions made by Civil War commanders, practice their own skills, and give the public a chance to see the Marine Corps in action. The idea was simple: train the Marines while also showing Americans why the Marine Corps mattered. LBG Rich Kohr joins us to talk about this lesser-known event in Gettysburg's history.

-Jayden Daniels is pretty PISSED that LSU allowed cornerback DJ Pickett the chance to wear his No. 5 jersey, which hasn't been worn byanyone at LSU since his departure to the NFL---yet, the jersey had never been officially retired. So who is in the wrong here?-Pickett wore No. 3 last year and was an All-American, and wanted to change his number to 5—which has Daniels saying LSU no longerhas rights to any NIL of his and to stop using it-And, ROLL CALL (sponsored by Madsen's Bowling & Billiards): where are Breakers listening from today?Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Can an argument be made that it was just a matter of time before the United States needed to and would eventually go to war with Iran? Former LSU quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels sent a cease-and-desist to LSU after the school gave his old No. 5 jersey to cornerback D.J. Pickett. Should LSU protect the jersey numbers of program legends, or does a number belong to the school and the next player trying to build his own legacy? The Lincoln has been at sea for over 250 days and has not made a port call in more than 200 days, setting a modern-day record for consecutive days at sea. This extended deployment has sparked severe backlash from lawmakers regarding deteriorating living conditions and low morale aboard the vessel. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump dismissed concerns from military families on Friday, stating that the deployment was "not nearly long enough."

The Slidell City Council indefinitely postponed a proposal that would have lifted the city's ban on drive-thru windows at businesses that sell alcohol. In a state where drive-thru daiquiri shops are already part of the culture, is Slidell right to be cautious, or is this just an outdated restriction on businesses and customers? Do drive-thru alcohol sales really create a public safety problem, or does responsibility ultimately fall on the person behind the wheel?

ESPN college football analyst and SEC all-time leading passer Aaron Murray joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging conversation on some of the biggest storylines heading into the 2026 college football season. We start with the increasingly messy situation between Jayden Daniels and LSU. Daniels' attorneys have sent LSU a cease-and-desist regarding the use of his name, image and likeness after the Tigers allowed star defensive back DJ Pickett to wear Daniels' No. 5 — making Pickett the first LSU player to wear the number since Daniels' Heisman Trophy season. With Lane Kiffin now leading the Tigers, should LSU have kept No. 5 out of circulation? And what does a school owe one of the greatest players in program history? Aaron also breaks down several of the SEC's biggest quarterback questions:

Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. In tonight's episode we talk with author Kelly Boyer Sagert about her award winning book entitled: "Wells Waite Miller and Me. An 8th OVI Civil War biography". Her fantastic book chronicles the life of the Civil War veteran Wells Waite Miller and his heroic efforts to help the Union win the war. On July 3, 1863 at the Battle of Gettysburg, twenty-one-year-old Captain Wells Waite Miller of the 8th Ohio Voluntary Infantry fought in the bloody heat of Pickett's Charge as dying men fell all around him. Ultimately, though, his “bruised and undersized regiment” played a crucial role in the Union victory. Chosen to lead an outpost about one hundred yards away from the main Union line, against seemingly insurmountable odds, Miller and 150 courageous men faced down six thousand desperate Rebels. Fighting valiantly, they “broke an entire . . . brigade of the Army of Northern Virginia.” Miller nearly died from his wounds, and this book reconstructs and celebrates the life of this forgotten Civil War hero—and the incredible synchronicities that exist between his life story and that of the author. The book also contains dozens of photos, most never published before, along with information directly from numerous descendants of Miller. Miller lived a captivating life before, during, and after the Civil War: a student in Oberlin during a tumultuous time in history; courageous soldier; briefly, a teacher; a highly respected agriculturist; revered member of his community; dedicated, trusted politician; and a son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather. You can order the book at local North Eastern Bookstores, (soon to be on) Amazon or direct from her website:https://kbsagert.com/ Kelly is a lot of fun and has several upcoming appearances to hear her speak about the book.

Welcome back to the ultimate hub for all things Carolina Panthers! In today's episode, we break down all the major headlines, press conference takeaways, and roster developments fresh out of Panthers training camp. Head coach Dave Canales took the podium today to drop a series of crucial updates as Carolina prepares for its preseason matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio.First up, Coach Canales officially made the big quarterback announcement: veteran backup Kenny Pickett will get the start under center on Thursday night with Bryce Young sitting out to rest. Canales emphasized that while Bryce Young remains the undisputed starter for the 2026 season, the Hall of Fame Game serves as a vital showcase for Pickett to prove his command of the offense, set protections, and re-establish his rhythm in live game conditions. Joining Pickett in the action will be undrafted rookie standout Haynes King, who is set to serve as the secondary quarterback and handle a significant portion of snaps. Canales praised the depth and athletic versatility of the quarterback room while noting that giving King extended live reps will offer the coaching staff a clear evaluation of his growth during camp.We also dive into the pressers from both Kenny Pickett and Haynes King as they reacted to the starting assignment and detailed their preparation. Pickett spoke highly of the chemistry he has built with the second-team receiving core, singling out wide receivers who have been making big plays in practice and making the decision tough on the front office. Meanwhile, Haynes King shared his excitement for his first real NFL action, discussing how he approaches every rep with high intensity and confidence.In additional roster news, we review the recent unexpected retirement announcement from veteran quarterback Will Grier, which reshaped the dynamic of the QB room heading into camp, along with an update on wide receiver Xavier Legette ("XL"). Fans held their breath after Legette exited practice for an evaluation following a physical hit, but Coach Canales provided welcome news by confirming that Legette was cleared of a concussion and is expected to be fine moving forward.We wrap up the show analyzing what these roster decisions mean for the depth chart, player rotations, and overall team momentum as Carolina kicks off its four-game preseason schedule.

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with J.R. Pickett — unpack the controversial and high-stakes topic of what used to be called excited delirium.They dig into the history of the syndrome (Bell's mania, acute exhaustive mania, agitated delirium), why major organizations including ACEP, ACMT, and the National Association of Medical Examiners have rejected the term, and the preferred modern language: hyperactive delirium with severe agitation. The conversation covers real-world presentation, the physiologic cascade that can lead to sudden cardiovascular collapse, the critical differences between a contained hospital environment and the uncontrolled street or austere setting, and the hard lessons from the Elijah McClain case.J.R. walks through practical decision-making for EMS and tactical medics: when de-escalation is possible, when sedation becomes necessary, why intramuscular ketamine remains the most forgiving and rapid option for the violently agitated patient, how to prepare for the predictable risks (brief apnea, loss of airway protection, metabolic derangement), and why continuous medical eyes-on monitoring after sedation is non-negotiable. They also address the dangerous intersection of law enforcement and medical care, the myth of “if they can talk they can breathe,” and the growing criminalization of medical decision-making that threatens providers' willingness to engage.Key TakeawaysThe condition is a true medical emergency with historically high mortality, even without restraint or intervention.Engagement ability is a practical field litmus test: if the patient cannot be redirected or answer basic questions, rapid intervention is usually required.Ketamine's wide therapeutic index and rapid IM onset make it the preferred agent for violent agitation when IV access is impossible — but it is not risk-free.Sedation is a procedure. Have airway equipment, monitors, and a clear team plan ready before the drug is given. Continuous medical provider eyes-on is mandatory in the early phase.“If you can talk, you can breathe” is dangerous teaching. Treat complaints of inability to breathe seriously.Noble intent + thorough preparation is the best defense against both bad outcomes and the growing criminalization of medical care.Chapters02:45 – What is (or was) excited delirium?

Southern Shepherds, Savage Wolves: Otis Pickett on Presbyterian Missionaries, Race, and the Antebellum SouthWhy is Sunday morning still one of the most segregated hours in American life? That question — sparked by a line from Martin Luther King Jr. that Dr. Otis Pickett encountered in seminary — set him on a twenty-year search through the archives. In this episode, Chad sits down with Dr. Otis Westbrook Pickett Sr., University Historian at Clemson University, to discuss his first book, Southern Shepherds, Savage Wolves: Presbyterian Domestic Missionaries and Race in South Carolina, 1802–1874.Otis and Chad examine the nineteenth-century Presbyterian missionaries — most prominently John Lafayette Girardeau and T. C. Stuart — who worked to bring enslaved and later freed men and women into the life of the church, and who faltered when that calling collided with the racial hierarchy of a slaveholding society. The conversation traces how theology and ecclesiology shaped interracial encounter within the Presbyterian church and in Southern society more broadly, the uneasy coexistence of enslavement and "ecclesiastical rights," and the role religion played in shaping both slavery and Native American removal — along with how these ideas fared through the Civil War and helped lay the groundwork for the segregation that followed.Dr. Otis Westbrook Pickett Sr. is University Historian and clinical assistant professor in the College of Education at Clemson University. He holds an MA from Covenant Theological Seminary, an MA in history from the College of Charleston, and a PhD in history from the University of Mississippi. He is also co-founder and co-director of the Prison to College Pipeline Program, the first program in Mississippi to offer tuition-free, credit-bearing college courses to incarcerated students.

Pickett III, President and Chief Executive Officer of Albany Med Health System, shares how the organization is advancing its First Choice 2030 vision, strengthening clinical excellence and preparing for the future of healthcare. He discusses workforce strategy, AI and digital transformation, ambulatory growth, and creating a more integrated health system focused on patients and communities.

In this episode, Carrie Pickett challenges believers to stop letting their bank accounts dictate their obedience to God. True prosperity isn't just about money; it is a spiritual identity rooted in God's abundant nature. Key Highlights "If It's God's Will, It's God's Bill": When God calls you to step out, He provides the resources—whether that means finances, people, or opportunities. Abundance is an Identity: Because Christ lives in you, you already possess the fullness of His riches. You are not a "spiritual beggar" waiting for crumbs. Rejecting the Poverty Mentality: Don't let natural limitations, fear, or the limiting mindsets of others stop you from executing God's calling. Watch and learn more at: charisbiblecollege.org

Colonel Jeff McCausland recounts how, on July 3, Robert E. Lee initiates a bold assault aimed at the Union center on Cemetery Ridge, though faulty assumptions regarding troop strength and coordination plague the plan. A massive two-hour artillery barrage—the largest in North American history—precedes the infantry advance but proves largely ineffective due to defective fuses and heavy smoke obscuring the targets. Under General Longstreet's direction, approximately 12,500 men under Pickett, Trimble, and Pettigrew march over a mile across open fields into concentrated Union fire. While General Lewis Armistead's brigade briefly breaches the Union line at "the angle," the Confederatesare ultimately repulsed with devastating losses, leaving Pickett's division nearly destroyed. In the aftermath, a grieving Lee takes full responsibility for the failure, while General Meade, exhausted and hindered by poor weather, declines to pursue the retreating Confederate army toward the Potomac. (3)Little rRundtop

Colonel Jeff McCausland describes how, on the third day, Lee ordered a frontal assault on the Union center despite Longstreet's protests. Pickett's Charge resulted in devastating casualties, with nearly 60-65% of the force lost to artillery and rifle fire. Longstreet was visibly overwhelmed by the certainty of the attack's failure. (4)1922

SCHEDULE OF JBS 7-3-2026. 1913 WILSON OPENIG DAYColonel Jeff McCausland discusses John Buford's arrival at Gettysburg, identifying key terrain like Cemetery Hill. Buford sent urgent messages to John Reynolds, urging him to bring infantry forward quickly. Reynolds trusted Buford's assessment, leading Union forces to occupy positions just as the Confederate attack began. (1)Colonel Jeff McCausland recounts how General Reynolds was killed by a Confederate marksman while leading his men forward into the woods. Later that day, Robert E. Lee issued a famous discretionary order to Richard Ewell to take Cemetery Hill "if practicable." Ewell, newly promoted and lacking initiative, hesitated and ultimately declined to attack. (2)Colonel Jeff McCausland explains how rifled muskets increased accuracy while tactics remained outdated, causing high casualties. On the second day, Strong Vincent took the initiative to occupy Little Round Top without orders. Joshua Chamberlain's 20th Maine successfully held the Union's far left flank with a desperate bayonet charge. (3)Colonel Jeff McCausland describes how, on the third day, Lee ordered a frontal assault on the Union center despite Longstreet's protests. Pickett's Charge resulted in devastating casualties, with nearly 60-65% of the force lost to artillery and rifle fire. Longstreet was visibly overwhelmed by the certainty of the attack's failure. (4)Mary Kissel discusses a catastrophic earthquake in Venezuela, highlighting the human tragedy exacerbated by corrupt building practices. While US first responders are assisting, Kissel critiques the State Department for preventing opposition leader María Corina Machado from returning. She argues diplomacy should promote strategic interests and free societies. (5)Mary Kissel evaluates US policy toward China, noting Beijing's aggression toward Taiwan and the Philippines. She praises the Trump administration's support for Ukraine, particularly in surveillance and military assistance, which enabled deep strikes into Russian territory. She urges the White House to champion the moral high ground. (6)Anatol Lieven discusses Vladimir Putin's public admission that Ukrainian drone strikes are causing significant difficulties and a loss of refining capacity. While Putin remains in charge, he faces pressure from hawks and doves regarding escalation. Despite successful drone campaigns, the battlefield in the Donbass remains stagnant. (7)Lance Gatling reports that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi unveiled a $2.3 trillion investment roadmap focused on 17 key technologies, including AI and chip manufacturing. The plan aims for economic independence and supply line diversity. Takaichi enjoys high public support, particularly from conservatives and young people tired of Chineseintimidation. (8)Michael Vorenberg challenges the idea that the Civil War ended at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. While Lee's surrender was a crucial step involving the stacking of arms, Lincoln did not publicly declare the war over. Lincolnremained focused on the ongoing process of reconstruction. (9)Michael Vorenberg recounts how, following Lincoln's assassination, William T. Sherman met Joseph Johnston at Bennett Place to negotiate a surrender. Sherman offered terms more generous than Grant's, including allowing Southerners to keep weapons in armories to prevent guerrilla warfare. However, the Washington cabinet rejected these terms as too lenient. (10)Michael Vorenberg explains that after official surrenders, Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith fled to Mexicorather than surrender his Trans-Mississippi forces. Small skirmishes continued at Palmetto Ranch, which is often cited as the last battle of the war. Meanwhile, Grant sent Sheridan to the Rio Grande to deter French intervention. (11)Michael Vorenberg discusses how the government used military tribunals to try Lincoln's conspirators and Andersonville commandant Henry Wirz, arguing a state of war still existed. Secretary of War Stanton hoped to implicate Jefferson Davis in these crimes to justify execution, but Wirz refused to provide such testimony before hanging. (12)Michael Vorenberg examines Richard Henry Dana's "grasp of war" philosophy, arguing the Union should hold the Confederacy until civil rights were secured. This contrasted with Lincoln's "let 'em up easy" approach. Congress used these war powers to extend the Freedman's Bureau and pass reconstruction legislation. (13)Michael Vorenberg traces how Andrew Johnson, initially seen as a radical ally, shifted toward a policy of white supremacy and hasty peace. He vetoed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, leading moderate Republicans to unite with radicals. This intense conflict centered on whether the war had legally ended. (14)Michael Vorenberg explains that on August 20, 1866, Johnson proclaimed the insurrection over to strip Congress of its war powers. Despite ongoing massacres in Memphis and New Orleans, Johnson tried to suppress reports of violence to maintain a "peace" narrative. The Supreme Court later affirmed this technical end date. (15)Michael Vorenberg describes how Ulysses S. Grant found himself caught between the warring factions of the Johnsonadministration.

Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia invaded Pennsylvania and clashed with Union Major General George Meade’s Army of the Potomac in and around the town of Gettysburg during the first 3 days of July, 1863. Nearly two hundred thousand men met during the battle, resulting in the largest number of casualties of the entire war, with over fifty-one thousand dead, wounded, captured or missing.

ABC:LHS #088   July 4, 1863... ...is the day that the Confederacy knew their days were numbered. At Gettysburg, Philadelphian General George Gordon Meade stopped Pickett's charge and sent Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia back south licking their wounds. On the same day, Philadelphian and Confederate General John Clifford Pemberton surrendered Vicksburg to Ulysses S. Grant after a 47-day siege. The two men, who had briefly roomed together at West Point, will always be remembered for that famed day.

June 19, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 152 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into the Pittsburgh Steelers deciding to add LB Jacoby Windmon back into the fold on the heels of him playing in the UFL this offseason. We also discuss the Steelers continuing to churn the bottom of their 91-man roster even after the offseason practices last week. As we head into the weekend, QB Brendan Sorsby remains a primary topic ahead of him now looking ahead to the NFL's supplemental draft. The Steelers continue to be linked as one of a few teams that could potentially look to select Sorsby in July. Alex and I discuss the pros and cons related to the Steelers maybe selecting Sorsby in the supplemental draft, what round they might consider doing so, and how drafting him would likely shape the number of quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. Indiana HC Curt Cignetti recently commented on Sorsby and his future so we discuss what he had to say and if his words might resonate any with the Steelers with Frank Cignetti Jr. being a coach on the team. Alex and I also discuss the forever baggage that will be attached to Sorsby no matter which team he ultimately lands with. Will the Steelers send anyone notable to Sorby's upcoming workout for NFL teams? If the Steelers are present for that workout, who from the organization should attend it if the team is seriously considering selecting him in the supplemental draft? We attempt to address both of those questions during this show. After a long discussion about Sorsby, Alex and I recap what former Steelers GM Kevin Colbert had to say about the selecting former QB Kenny Pickett in the first round of the draft several years ago. Colbert still defends the selection of Pickett, and Alex and I wonder if he really should continue to do so. Later in this show, I provide an updated recap of the Steelers' salary cap situation on the heels of the recent transactions made by the team. Alex and I also dive deeper into QB Drew Allar having yet to sign his rookie contract and what that might be. We also go over the brief list of other members of the 2026 draft class that have yet to sign their rookie contracts as well. This 92-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above, and we make sure to answer a few listener emails we have received to close out this show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

As we've always said, Gettysburg history is fascinating. Today, LBG Ralph Siegel has decided to tak your questions about ANYTHING you've wanted to know about the Battle of Gettysburg. That's right, it's an open-ended Ask A Gettysburg Guide, reminiscent of the early days when we didn't do one topic per show. Because viewers were allowed to ask anything, Ralph addresses several highly specific tactical decisions and long-standing controversies: 1. Dan Sickles and the July 2nd Vanguard: A listener question sparks a debate over Major General Daniel Sickles' controversial decision to move his Third Corps out of line and forward into the Peach Orchard and Wheatfield. Ralph dissects whether this move unauthorizedly broke Meade's line or accidentally acted as a critical speedbump that blunted the Confederate assault. The Culps Hill vs. Cemetery Hill Logistics: The stream touches on the desperate fighting on the Union right flank on the night of July 2nd, analyzing how close the Confederates actually came to cutting off the Baltimore Pike—the Union army's lifeline. Lee's Aggression vs. Longstreet's Caution: Ralph tackles the evergreen debate over the July 3rd strategy. He weighs Robert E. Lee's insistence on a grand frontal assault (Pickett's Charge) against James Longstreet's alternative proposals to swing south around the Union flank to find better defensive ground. Meade's Pursuit Post-July 3rd: Ralph addresses the frequent criticism that General George Meade was "too cautious" in letting Lee escape back across the Potomac River. He breaks down the physical exhaustion of the Union troops, the torrential rains, and the heavily fortified Confederate lines at Williamsport that made a direct Union attack highly risky. 2. Niche History & The Human Element The Post-Battle Nightmare: The show moves past high strategy to look at the immediate aftermath of July 4th. Ralph paints a vivid picture of the logistical crisis facing the town of Gettysburg—dealing with tens of thousands of wounded men, burning thousands of dead horses, and the immediate arrival of grieving families looking for their loved ones. Regimental Spotlights: Ralph takes specific questions regarding lesser-known regiments and their unique monument locations on the field, explaining the nuances of how modern visitors can "read" the battle lines just by looking at where monuments face. 3. The Philosophy of Battlefield Guiding Ralph offers a behind-the-scenes look at the rigorous process of becoming a Licensed Battlefield Guide (LBG). He notes how modern research and newly digitized soldier letters are constantly changing our understanding of the three days, forcing guides to continuously debunk 150-year-old myths (such as the idea that the battle was fought over a random supply of shoes).

Kirsty discusses a celebration of the role of the floatplane in Fiordland, a new "sausage" bait proving effective against stoats, and more. 

Abner Doubleday began the Civil War as a Union officer and aimed the first cannon shot in response to the bombardment opened on Ft. Sumter in 1861. Two years later, after a series of battles (including Antietam, where he was wounded), Doubleday took over a division in the Army of the Potomac's 1st Corps.These are his memoirs of service in two of the War's great campaigns. At Chancellorsville, a very promising start made by General Hooker against Lee's Confederate forces fell to a defeat when, in Doubleday's estimation, normal and prudent precautions against surprise in the heavily-wooded battlefield were not carried out; he also seemingly apologizes for Hooker's lack of leadership during the battle as a result of his having been stunned by a cannon ball hitting the post against which he was leaning.After Chancellorsville, Hooker was replaced as Army Commander by General George Meade. Doubleday describes the curious circumstances that led the two opposing armies to meet at Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. When Doubleday's superior, General John Reynolds, was killed by a sharpshooter on the first day's battle, he took over the 1st Corps and fought it well against converging Confederate divisions that badly outnumbered him. The Corps was forced by battle losses to retire, but its desperate fight bought the time needed for Union reinforcements to pour into Gettysburg and thus prevent a defeat in detail.General Howard of the XIth Corps replaced Doubleday as the senior commander on the field, and mistakenly wrote to Meade that 1st Corps had routed after practically no fighting. Thus, when Meade arrived, he removed Doubleday from command of 1st Corps, replacing him with a more junior general from another Corps. The snub would embitter Doubleday against Meade. This book is in part Doubleday's revenge, as he picks apart Meade's indecision after the battle was essentially won, with the repulse of the famous Pickett's Charge. In his view, Meade could have won the war at that moment. (Summary by Mark Smith)Genre(s): War & Military, Memoirs, Modern (19th C)Language: EnglishKeyword(s): history (910), civil war (155)

“When you're in a world that is careening out of control, where we've broken through seven of the nine safe dimensions of safe operating space that scientists have discovered, it's unrealistic in my view to focus on those little things and think that will lead to a real better outcome. What's realistic is backcasting.” — Jeremy Lent There Is An Alternative. That is the central argument of Jeremy Lent's new book, Ecocivilization: Making a World That Works for All. Margaret Thatcher's historically materialist TINA — THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE — was both the most seductive and disempowering message the neoliberal establishment ever produced. As long as everyone believes in the inevitability of free market capitalism, nothing will ever really change. Anti-agency is the name of agency. We just push for slightly higher carbon taxes and slightly fewer fossil fuel subsidies and give it the euphemism of “progress.” For Lent, however, this is environmental capitulation. Jeremy Lent imagines a genuinely sustainable world — one where humans have a long-term relationship with the living Earth. From that vantage point, the steps that look realistic to the incrementalists seem timid or counterproductive. He reminds us that we've broken through seven of the nine safe operating dimensions that scientists have identified for a stable Earth system. No, incrementalism isn't realism. Rather than progress, it's a trance-like slide into the apocalypse. Rather than state control or free markets, the alternative Lent introduces in Ecocivilization is the commons — Nobel Prize-winning economist Elinor Ostrom's third way in which humans self-organise in the collaborative ways of the natural world. It is already happening, he says, in places as far apart as Cleveland, Ohio and Jackson, Mississippi. Maggie was wrong, the Anglo-American Lent insists. TINA is bunk. THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE. Five Takeaways •       The Consensus Trance: Why Nobody Is Freaking Out: Everyone knows who's in and who's out in Washington today. Everyone knows their team's sports score. Almost nobody is aware of some of the bigger existential questions facing all of us. Lent's explanation: we have media owned by billionaires who don't benefit from people freaking out. The entire system is designed to lull people into what he calls a “consensus trance.” We broke through seven of the nine safe operating dimensions that scientists have identified for a stable Earth system. In normal times that would be front-page news every day. Instead: the news cycle moves on. •       Backcasting vs Incrementalism: The Two Realisms: There are two ways to use the word “realistic.” Realistic given the forces of destruction and oppression all around us right now: push for slightly higher taxes on the uber-wealthy, slightly fewer fossil fuel subsidies. Realistic given what a genuinely sustainable world would actually look like: start from the destination and work backwards. The first kind of realism may be taking us in the wrong direction. Lent's argument: when you're in a world careening out of control, the timid steps of incremental realism are not realistic. Backcasting is. •       The Commons: Ostrom's Third Way: The political debate of the last hundred years has been between state control and free markets. Both have failed. Lent's alternative, via Nobel Prize-winning economist Elinor Ostrom: the commons. Not the state owning things. Not markets extracting profit. Humans self-organising together in the way they evolved to do — collaboratively, cooperatively, with attention to the common good. Ostrom showed, empirically, that commons governance works. The Evergreen Cooperatives in Cleveland, Cooperation Jackson in Mississippi: these are working prototypes of what Lent means. •       TINA Is the Most Disempowering Message Ever Produced: Margaret Thatcher's “there is no alternative” — shortened to TINA — is, for Lent, the central ideological achievement of neoliberalism. As long as everyone believes there is no alternative, people will just try to improve the situation that little bit and nothing will change fundamentally. Ecocivilization is Lent's counter-argument: there is an alternative. The first step is to believe it. Once you believe it, the second step is to figure out what the practical steps are to get there. The book is those practical steps. •       The Authoritarian Moment: Why People Vote for Strongmen: People drawn to authoritarian strongmen feel in their gut that the system is designed to screw them. They're right about that. They're wrong about the solution — the strongmen are offering greater inequality dressed as populism. Lent's prescription: what AOC, Bernie Sanders, Mamdani represent is the alternative — the courage to actually stand for human dignity. When things swing to one extreme, they tend to swing back. We could be surprised at the speed of change. It's already happening in local communities — islands of coherence in a sea of chaos — and it can happen at the mainstream level too. About the Guest Jeremy Lent is an author and speaker described by George Monbiot as “one of the greatest thinkers of our age.” He is the founder of the Deep Transformation Network and the nonprofit Liology Institute. He is the author of Ecocivilization: Making a World That Works for All (Melville House, May 26, 2026), The Patterning Instinct: A Cultural History of Humanity's Search for Meaning, and The Web of Meaning: Integrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find Our Place in the Universe. He lives in Berkeley, California. References: •       Ecocivilization: Making a World That Works for All by Jeremy Lent (Melville House, May 26, 2026). •       Elinor Ostrom, Governing the Commons — the Nobel Prize-winning work on commons governance referenced throughout. •       Kate Raworth, Doughnut Economics — referenced in the conversation as a related framework. •       Wilkinson and Pickett, The Spirit Level — the study showing higher well-being in more equal societies, referenced by Lent. •       The Evergreen Cooperatives, Cleveland, Ohio — referenced as a working prototype of commons governance. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Hi, friends, and welcome back to our series, "On Becoming: The Art and Craft of Personal Storytelling." In this series, we take a close look at personal essays written by real students, talking about why we love them, what makes them work, and how they came to be.  In this episode, we break down an essay that is one of my new favorites. It's conceptually rich because even though it's on molding clay, it could be considered any of these montage types: I love/I know, Essence Objects, Skills/Superpower, Identity, Home, or Uncommon extracurricular activity. That's not a goal I'm suggesting you pursue, by the way, just interesting to note. To discuss it, I'm joined by Calvin Pickett, the Director of Essay Coaching here at CEG. Calvin has been a college essay coach for more than eight years, and a lover of words and stories since he can remember. Calvin studied English Literature at Vassar before earning his master's in Secondary English Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. He believes in the potential for this college essay writing process to be transformational for students, and loves helping them see and shape their own stories in ways that empower self-knowledge and self confidence and lead to exciting college opportunities.  If you're a craft nerd at heart (the kind of person who watches behind-the-scenes footage twice), I hope you'll feel right at home.  We hope you enjoy!   Play-by-Play:  2:16 – Calvin sets context for the essay and the student who wrote it  3:40 – Calvin reads the essay, "Molding Clay"   9:23 – How did the author come up with her topic?  11:21 – Calvin and Ethan discuss the first paragraph and how it grounds the reader 14:31 – How does the author use insight in her second paragraph to convey details that might not be elsewhere in her application? 18:49 – How do the author's core values guide her metaphors and examples throughout the essay? 20:53 – What is a montage essay and how did the author decide on which parts to include in the final draft?  23:47 – What is the balance between "showing" or "telling" in a college essay?  29:26 – How does the author's unique voice help her stand out?  32:52 – How can students weave in parts of a challenge or narrative into their montage essay? 38:31 – How important is a strong closing paragraph? 42:43 – What are some key concepts from this essay that students can apply to their own writing? 48:31 – Why might students choose to avoid AI in the college essay writing process?  51:40 – Closing thoughts    Resources: "Molding Clay" Essay College Essay Guy's Personal Statement Resources College Essay Guy's College Application Hub

On this episode, I'm joined outdoors in Palos Verdes, California by Corbin Pickett (@outdoorswithcorb), also known as “Brotha Nature” — a SoCal trekker, outdoor creator, community builder, board member of Black Men Hike LA, and founder of Kuji Hiking Crew.
