Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a family scrapbook opens a door into a forgotten chapter of aviation history?Author Cindy Weigand never intended to become a historian of women in aviation. While sorting through her late mother's belongings, she discovered scrapbooks and newspaper clippings connected to her great-uncle Jack, a barnstormer of the 1920s. What began as a family history project soon became a deep dive into the remarkable women pilots who shared the skies during aviation's Golden Age. In this conversation, Cindy and I discuss her novel Mavis Perkins: Flying Journalist, a work of historical fiction inspired by the real women aviators of the 1920s. Together we explore the world of barnstormers, air races, flying clubs, Billy Mitchell's controversial warnings about air power, and the women who flew alongside Amelia Earhart whose stories are rarely told today. The conversation also touches on Cindy's earlier work documenting Texas women who served during World War II, the challenges of historical research, self-publishing, and her efforts to adapt these stories for film.If this history piques your interest, you might enjoy my Aviatrix Classics discussions with Dr. Jacque Boyd and Captain Jenny Beatty.

First Woman Thunderbird Pilot, Combat Veteran, White House Adviser & Voice of Resurgence. Nicole Malachowski is one of the most compelling leadership voices on today's stage. A retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, combat veteran, and the first woman pilot to fly with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, she has lived a life defined by challenge, responsibility, and bold decisions. From leading fighter formations in combat to advising at the highest levels of the White House, Nicole understands what it means to perform when the stakes are real. When a devastating neurological tick-borne illness abruptly ended her flying career and left her unable to walk or speak for months, she was forced to redefine strength itself. Her story is not about bouncing back. It is about becoming resurgent and choosing growth when the path forward is uncertain.Support the show

A decades-old US Forest Service rule that's been used to supposedly reduce wildfire risk through large-scale logging while bypassing environmental review has been deemed unlawful by a federal court in Oregon. Clearcutting can instead increase wildfire risk, and our guest says USFS needs to rethink its entire approach to managing forests and wildfire risk.   Also, the Artemis II mission is getting ready to use the most powerful rocket ever built by NASA to return to the moon for the first time since the original Apollo missions more than 50 years ago. How declining public support shut down the Apollo program, and why NASA again faces headwinds in maintaining the public's interest in space exploration.   And women have historically been underrepresented in science and engineering, but that didn't stop Marie Curie, Jane Goodall, and Rachel Carson, and there are many more women in these fields who are not as famous. Artist and author Rachel Ignotofsky shares the contributions of some of the remarkable female scientists she profiles in her book, Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World.   ---   Join LOE and Inside Climate News for the next Living on Earth Book Club event on Thursday, March 26th!

This week we're exploring the lives of the pioneering women gardeners of the 20th century who paved the way for women in horticulture today… through music. Composer Omri Kochavi will be sharing how he was inspired by the book ‘An Almost Impossible Thing' by Fiona Davison to create what he calls a 'horti-musical'. Now's the perfect time to think ahead to spring, and daffodil devotee Camilla Bassett-Smith will be joining us to share some of her favourite cultivars, and top tips on getting the most out of your bulbs. And finally we're taking stock after a hot, dry summer. We visit Alex Paines at RHS Garden Rosemoor in Devon to explore how the gardeners there are adapting what, where, and how they plant.

The Women's School of Planning and Architecture, popularly known as WSPA, ran for four summers from 1974 to 1979.    You could learn woodworking in the morning and feminist theory in the afternoon, and then let loose and make candy houses in the evening. Childcare was free, tuition was minimal, and the locations were scattered throughout the country, making it easy for interested parties to attend.WSPA was the brainchild of seven women, Leslie Kanes Weisman, Phyllis Birkby, Katrin Adam, Bobbie Sue Hood,  Ellen Perry Berkeley, Marie Kennedy, and Joan Forrester Sprague. These women represented a mix of academic, professional, and practical experience. What they wanted to create was an educational curriculum, by women and for women, that freed architecture from the hierarchies of existing schools and practice. At their workshops, held on a succession of college campuses, starting with St. Joseph's College in Biddeford, Maine, everyone was a student and everyone was a teacher. No one was passive. For many of the participants, it was their first experience of being the majority gender in a design classroom or architecture office. Even decades later, they remembered the experience with happy tears. As with many collaborative enterprises with shoestring budgets, WSPA eventually dissipated, but not before giving a generation of women architects the tools (sometimes literally) to imagine a more communitarian world.Produced by Brandi Howell with host Alexandra Lange for New Angle: Voice, the podcast about Pioneering Women in American Architecture brought to you by the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation.  Special thanks in this episode to Leslie Kanes Wisemen, Katrin Adam, Cathy Simon, and Paulett Taggart.  And to the Smith College Special Collections, which houses all of the WSPA archives.  Visit NewAngleVoice instagram page to see some incredible photos from this collection, including the Building Charades and Architecture Cakes.

In this episode, host Tyler Bloom is joined by Alyson Johnson, a dynamic leader with over 25 years of diverse experience across the golf industry. From her early days in sports psychology to running her own agency, The Gilly Group, Alyson has carved out an impressive career in marketing, branding, communications, and sponsorships within golf. We explore the vast opportunities available in the business of golf—opportunities that extend far beyond playing or teaching. Alyson shares valuable insights on personal branding, the challenges and triumphs women face in this male-dominated industry, and the importance of building diverse skill sets for career growth. You'll also learn about the fascinating world of golf course design, her perspective on creating memorable golf experiences, and her advice for women aspiring to succeed in golf careers. Plus, Alyson gives us a sneak peek at an exciting project she'll be announcing soon. Join us as we uncover actionable strategies and inspiring stories to help you elevate your career and leadership in golf. Let's tee off this insightful conversation with Alyson Johnson! What You'll Learn in this Episode: Business of Golf: Behind-the-scenes efforts in the golf industry create exceptional experiences for players and fans. Career paths extend beyond playing or teaching to include roles in law, HR, finance, and more. Women in Golf Careers: Women face challenges in a male-dominated industry, often hesitating to apply for roles unless fully qualified. Education on opportunities and strong personal branding can empower women to succeed. Personal Branding: A strong personal brand highlights professional appearance, skills, and willingness to learn. It helps others understand your value and opens doors for career growth. Construction and Course Design: The process of creating world-class golf courses involves transforming sketches into reality, with careful consideration of terrain, soil, and water. Alyson's work has given her a deeper appreciation for this art and science. Soundbites: “Many people, not just women, don't fully understand the wide range of career opportunities in the golf industry. When someone says they work in golf, the assumption is often that they are either a player or an instructor. However, the golf industry offers roles in nearly every field, such as law, HR, accounting, culinary arts, and course maintenance. If people realized they could apply their unique skills to a career in golf, it could help address workforce challenges in the industry.” (24:55) "For women, there's an added barrier—many don't feel welcome in golf, even as players. This lack of comfort extends to using golf for professional networking.” (27:08) Key Quotes: “Women are often hesitant to engage due to a fear of seeming inexperienced, whereas men tend to approach these situations with more confidence, even if they're unsure.” “Men will apply for a role even if they meet only one out of ten qualifications, whereas women might hesitate to apply unless they meet nearly all the requirements. This hesitation often stems from a fear of appearing unqualified or not knowing enough, leading women to hold back from trying altogether.” “Golf opens so many doors and provides incredible experiences.” “Too often, different sectors within golf work in silos, complicating things and even stepping on each other's toes. To avoid this, there needs to be more collaboration and understanding between different players in the industry.” “Another challenge is how many players, especially women, don't realize the range of skills they have. Players are often seen as just athletes, but they are also running businesses—handling marketing, travel, strategy, and finances.” “Personal branding also extends to your overall image. Are you professional in appearance and punctual in your commitments? Do you stay informed about industry trends? Who are you surrounding yourself with, and what projects are you working on? Sharing those projects shows the breadth of your experience and knowledge.” Links and Resources Mentioned: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alyson-ramsey-johnson/  Website: https://www.gillygroup.com/

This episode was recorded on January 4th, 2024. Erin Pizzey, born in China with her twin sister Kate, settled in England after a childhood of frequent moves due to her diplomat father. In 1971, she opened the world's first women's refuge in Chiswick, London, and later established numerous shelters during the 1970s and 1980s. Erin became well-known for her court battles over overcrowded refuges and her appearances on top chat shows, earning a reputation as a crusader for the destitute. Her advocacy extended to squatting in properties to provide shelter. Erin brought domestic violence to public attention, compelling authorities to address the issue. She moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the 1980s after receiving death threats for highlighting female-perpetrated abuse, as detailed in her book "Prone to Violence." She returned to London in 1997 and advocated for male abuse victims, becoming a patron of ManKind Initiative and Families Need Fathers. In 2013, Erin joined the advisory board of A Voice for Men and appeared in the 2016 documentary "The Red Pill." In 2023, she was featured in "Erin: Beyond the Bruises." Erin authored several cult classics, including "Scream Quietly or the Neighbours Will Hear" and "This Way to the Revolution: A Memoir." She believes domestic abuse is generational and not gender-specific, advocating for multi-generational therapy to break the cycle of violence.   Find more from Erin: Erin in Cassie Jaye's landmark documentary The Red Pill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irVB8b0zhQI Why I loathe feminism by Erin Pizzey: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1215464/Why-I-loathe-feminism---believe-ultimately-destroy-family.html Erin Pizzey documentary: http://film-directory.britishcouncil.org/erin-beyond-the-bruises Erin on family dynamics / the breakdown of the family: https://youtu.be/53Gmx_wfft8 Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7F4GFHI2oY   Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tammy.m.peterson Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TammyPetersonPodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tammypetersonpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/Tammy1Peterson Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/TammyPetersonPodcast

In 2021, the International Tennis Hall of Fame inducted its first group of contributors simultaneously: the Original 9. Together in 1970, these nine women broke from the established tennis landscape to sign $1 contracts with promoter Gladys Heldman, creating the first women's tennis tour. The early years of professional women's tennis were challenging, defiant and ultimately, hugely successful in creating equity and a platform for women in sports.Two members of the Original 9, Rosie Casals and Judy Tegart Dalton, along with fellow Hall of Famer Ann Jones, discuss those early years. With Blair Henley, Casals and Dalton share why they risked their careers to break the status quo and why timing in the 1970s was key to gaining momentum. They share memories of playing with and against each other, and the lesser-known hard work behind the scenes of growing women's tennis.Later in the episode, Jones tells Chris Bowers how the camaraderie between the women's players fueled progress in the early years of the Virginia Slims tour. Jones shares how solidarity between the players, regardless of nationality, helped foster a key sense of purpose in making tennis a sustainable career.

Born in 1895 in Lynchburg, VA, Amaza Lee Meredith was an African American architect, artist and educator who taught at Virginia State College where she founded the art department. Despite the fact she was never a registered architect, she was one of the few Black architects practicing at the time, and one of the country's very few Black women architects. In 1939, Amaza designed Azurest South, a tidy white International Style house on the edge of the Virginia State University Campus, where she and her life-long partner Edna Meade Colson lived. Both women maintained significant teaching positions at the University, living openly queer lives. In 1947 Amaza and her sister Maude began developing Azura North, a 120 lot subdivision and vacation destination for middle class African Americans in Sag Harbor, New York, near the summer haunts of Melville, Steinbeck, Betty Friedan, Spaulding Gray. During the 1950s & 60s the community grew as a Black vacation spot attracting celebrities like Lena Horne and Harry Belafonte. Together, the homes and communities that Amaza Lee Meredith helped establish provided a sense of joy, pleasure, and a safe haven for members of the Black community, at a time when this wasn't always possible. This episode explores the intersections of sexuality, modernity, art, architecture, and the faith community that nurtured this pair of lovers.  Amaza and Edna found their home in each other and shared it openly with their church, their colleagues and their students. Special thanks to host Cynthia Kracauer, writers Jacqueline Taylor and Jessica Lynne, and to Brooke Williams who graciously provided Sag Harbor resident insights, as did advocates and preservationists Georgette Grier-Key, Michael Butler, and Renee Simons.  And to Reverend Grady Powell and Reverend Dr.  George WC Lyons from Gillfield Baptist Church in Petersburg, Virginia. Franklin Johnson-Norwood is the Director of Alumni Relations at Virginia State University, and our excellent tour guide for Azurest South, and to Christina Morris of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

New Episode Today!! Today we'll come around these intriguing questions: What if His presence is really His plan for us? And, what if His will for our lives is simply to walk with Him and treasure His “withness” with us more than anything? The longer I live, the more I'm convinced that the mundane really is the platform that God uses to refine us and grow us…to even shape our lives for longevity! Our part in it is learning to be aware of His presence and being willing to consistently meet with Him in the rhythm of our ordinary days. I know for me, it's easy to allow the thing I'm building FOR Him to blind me from truly just seeing Him. I'm also going to share a song with you today called “Evermore” that comes around this beautiful theme of His presence being what He values most on our behalf! I'll talk to you soon! -ChristySupport the showWatch 'This is the Hour'Watch 'Evermore'Watch 'Where Would I Be?'

Y'all, it's back. I'M BACK! I'm so excited to relaunch The Glorious in the Mundane podcast this week! You probably guessed that I'm going to be coming around my new album called “This is the Hour,” available everywhere you listen to music! I'm not coming around these songs just for the song's sake—I just believe that God has shown me so much in the past few years of writing and recording these songs and I'm excited to tell the stories and to testify of God's faithfulness once again and to encourage you that your “ordinary” is a place where God wants to meet with you and shape you into who He's always known you to be! I'll talk to you soon friend!- ChristySupport the showWatch 'Where Would I Be?' Follow Christy on Socials: WebsiteFacebook Twitter Instagram TikTok
