This week, we remember the life of writer, poet, farmer, and environmentalist Wendell Berry, by listening back to a 2010 conversation with fellow writer and activist Michael Pollan. Berry was of America's most influential voices on agriculture and the environment, and he wrote with a calm and compelling vision about our relationship with the land, our work, and our communities. Among his best-known books: The Unsettling of America, What Are People For?, and The Peace of Wild Things.After studying at the University of Kentucky and Stanford, and teaching at New York University, Berry returned to his native Henry County, Kentucky in the 1960s. There, he and his wife, Tanya, began farming. Berry spent the rest of his life in Kentucky, farming and writing poems, novels, and essays about tending the land, about community, and the costs of an increasingly industrialized society. Berry was also an activist, protesting the Vietnam War, mountaintop-removal coal mining, and nuclear power, and he inspired generations of environmentalists, farmers, food activists, and writers. Berry died on August 31, 2026, at his home in Port Royal, Kentucky. He was 92.
Dave turned 40 this week, one day before they hit record, and he wants it understood that he has been looking forward to this. Thirty was a bummer. Forty is different. He expects his forties to be a decade of proficiency instead of a decade of learning how to do everything for the first time: better father, better disciplinarian, better coach, better husband, better at the farm. A decade of potency, he called it, which Adam immediately took in the least charitable direction available and turned into a bit about donating blood and testosterone at the same time. Before that, though, there was a real moment. Adam asked how his spiritual life was and Dave told the truth. He has been in a down recently, the kind where things you have always known to be sinful start to look not that bad, and the only thing that held the line was habit. Intellectual habit, built over years, doing exactly what habit is supposed to do when feeling has gone quiet. Then the piglets. Adam has been building a pig pen since last fall, thinking it through all winter, and Dave finally called to say his sow's litter was ready. Adam ran hot wire that morning, got everything set, and had the sense to put just one pig in first to see what would happen. The pig touched the hot wire, did not get shocked, backed up four steps, ran, and cleared the boards. Twenty seconds. It landed close enough that Adam caught it by a back leg. Welcome to the swine herd community.Sponsor: Amen app (from the Augustine Institute) Free, no paywall, no subscription. It is how Adam and Dave get their kids ready to receive the Gospel before Mass even starts, plus free access to Divine Mercy in My Soul and True Devotion to Mary. Download the Amen app.Sponsor: Select International Tours When Adam and Dave went looking for help leading their first pilgrimage, everyone they asked pointed to the same name: Select International Tours. Having used them, the guys can vouch for it. Wherever in the world you want to go, whether leading a pilgrimage or joining one, head to selectinternationaltours.com and see what they have ready for you.The pour is Pabst Blue Ribbon, which won a blue ribbon at some point a long time ago and has been telling everyone about it ever since. Adam will defend it. Not as a great beer, but as a beer that belongs in the category of things you can hand a man who walks into your house without apologizing. Oklahoma has been over 100 degrees for something like seventy straight days, all of July and all of August, and on a day like that PBR is exactly right.Then the main topic. Wendell Berry died August 31 at home in Port Royal, Kentucky, at 92. Kentucky farmer, novelist, poet, essayist, five generations on the same ground his family had worked since the early 1800s. He took degrees from the University of Kentucky, went off to the city to be a writer, got everything a young writer is supposed to want, and decided quickly that it was not what he wanted. So he went home. He farmed with horses long after he could afford a tractor. His writing cabin, 16 by 20 feet on stilts over the Kentucky River, had no electric light. He never owned a television or a computer and never sent an email in his life. He answered his mail by hand, including letters from strangers, at length, signing every one "your friend, Wendell Berry."Dave once told Adam that Berry is his favorite person to read with whom he disagrees, and that line has stuck. Dave is not a pacifist. There are foundational places where he and Berry part ways. But reading Berry sharpened his own thinking precisely because the case on the other side was so well made, so obviously pondered and re-pondered over decades. Not rookie opinions. Not virgin thoughts. Which raises a question worth sitting with: who do you read that you disagree with? Most men cannot answer it, and that is the problem.Berry's own account of what the land taught him: patience, because the crop keeps its own schedule and will not wait for you. Consequence, because there is no control-Z on a hillside. He plowed and dug a pond on sloping Kentucky ground and then watched it wash out, taking with it topsoil that had taken a thousand years to accumulate a millimeter at a time. Scale, because the land you keep is known intimately by you and nobody else, which spots bloom first, which die first, and holding that in your head is closer to a virtue than a skill. The body as a means of knowing, because the health of the mind proves itself in physical work. And fidelity to one place over time. Asked by NPR in 1998 what he would tell young people, he said stop some place and stay there, and learn the history of it, the names of the plants and the animals and your neighbors.Adam brought in Josef Pieper to name what that is. Working hard is not the opposite of sloth. The opposite of sloth is the glad acceptance of your own life. A man can be busy at every hour of the day and still be a slothful man, because the busyness is a way of refusing the life he actually has.Dave read The World-Ending Fire on Adam's recommendation and could not get past a passage early on about the difference between a path and a road. A path is submissive to the terrain. It yields to creation, goes through the trees, puts you in nature instead of over it. A path is almost a virtue, a habit of travel, a memory you relive, an inheritance you walk because others walked it first. A road does violence to it. You level the ground and go through instead of being part of it.Which sets up the essay. In 1987 Berry published "Why I Am Not Going to Buy a Computer," and it went on to become the most reprinted thing he ever wrote, which is its own joke. He gave nine standards a new tool ought to meet: cheaper than what it replaces, no bigger in scale, demonstrably better at the work, less energy, ideally powered by something like the body, repairable by a person of ordinary intelligence with ordinary tools, purchasable and repairable near home, sold by a small shop that will take it back, and the hard one, number nine: it should not replace or disrupt anything good that already exists, including family and community relationships. We have almost entirely stopped asking that one. We look at output and never at cost, and technology almost always charges its cost in person-to-person contact.His three reasons were dependence, household, and self-deception. Dependence on strip-mined Kentucky coal to run the thing. Household, because the model being discarded was his wife, Tanya, his editor, his critic, his closest reader and fellow worker, and going up to date as a writer would have meant sacrificing an association he treasured and depended on. That reason is what critics went after hardest, feminism being what it was in 1987, and he answered them in print. Self-deception last, and best: he simply did not believe anyone writes better with a computer than with a pencil. Show him work demonstrably better than Dante's, demonstrably attributable to the machine, and he would speak of computers in a more respectful tone of voice, though he still would not buy one.The guys are fair to it and to themselves. Dante is not a fair standard, since nobody in the 300 years before the computer wrote as well as Dante either. But the point underneath it holds. Berry wrote in pencil because when you cross out a word and write another above it, the path you traveled is still visible in front of you, the way a footpath is. And there is something sacramental about it. The pencil hitting the paper is the incarnation of a thought. The labor is not an obstacle to the writing. The labor is the writing, and the satisfaction of finally getting a sentence to say what you actually meant is only available to the man who did the wrestling.Which is where AI comes in, one week after the guys spent a whole episode on it. You do not appreciate a well-kept lawn until you have kept one. You do not appreciate a tomato until you have grown one. You do not appreciate writing until you have done it. Hand the wrestling to a word-guessing machine and the sentence still arrives, but it is sterile, generic, recognizable on sight to anyone who has ever fought for a line. AI is contraceptive language. There is no fecundity in it. The guys expect a backlash, the same pullback that is already happening with social media among the young, once enough people notice what got traded away. Berry's whole vocation was to turn our minds back toward the ground. Which, as Dave pointed out, is where the first man got both his name and his job: adam from adamah, formed out of the earth and made for the earth, a husband to the soil before there was ever any sin to explain it. That is not nostalgia. That is the job. Go read him. You will not agree with everything. Neither do they. Protect the labor. Provide something you actually made. Establish a place and stay in it. May the mad farmer rest with the eternal farmer. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDWhether a man actually gets wiser as he gets older, and why a sinful life makes him dumber insteadDave turning 40 and why he was looking forward to it in a way he never looked forward to 30The forties as a decade of proficiency and self-mastery instead of learning everything for the first timeA spiritual down, and relying on intellectual habit when things you know to be sinful start looking not that badAdam's two piglets from Dave's sow, and a pig pen contemplated since last fallA piglet clearing the boards twenty seconds after being let in, and getting caught by a back legBeer of the week: Pabst Blue Ribbon, and the case for beer that

Jane Healey talks with Vanessa Riley about Fire, Sword and Sea, her historical novel inspired by Jacquotte Delahaye, a Black woman who rose from a tavern keeper's daughter to become a pirate captain in the 1600s Caribbean. Riley shares how a visit to Port Royal sparked the novel and why reconstructing Jacquotte's life required extensive research and careful triangulation from the records of better-documented contemporaries. They also dig into the surprising diversity of Caribbean pirate crews, the brutal role of enslavement in the region's economy, and Riley's commitment to portraying history with both honesty and humanity.
“P” is for Port Royal Experiment. The Port Royal Experiment, also called the Sea Island Experiment, was an early humanitarian effort to prepare the former enslaved persons of the South Carolina Sea Islands for inclusion as free citizens in American public life.

Nous sommes le samedi 19 novembre 1720, à Kingston, à la Jamaïque. A l'entrée du port, on peut voir un sinistre spectacle : les cadavres de trois hommes se balançant au bout de cordes. Parmi eux figure le célèbre pirate John Rackam. Ces hommes ont été exécutés la veille. Quatre autres le seront le lendemain et deux encore le lundi suivant. Voilà pour ce qui a déjà été décidé par la cour qui n'en a, toutefois, pas fini avec la bande de forbans. Dans la prison de Port-Royal, il reste deux corsaires à juger. Et ceux-là embarrassent beaucoup le tribunal. Il faut dire que ces deux pirates se nomment Mary Read et Anne Bonny. Avec Marie-Eve Stenuit sujets traités : Femmes, pirates, écumeuses , mer, John Rackam, Mary Read , Anne Bonny Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

In Paper Heroines: Women Writers in Conversation and Community Across the Sea Islands, 1838-1902 (U South Carolina Press, 2026), Dr. Mollie Barnes studies the ways women represented their own and one another's lives in their personal diaries and their biographies of their contemporaries. By reading these women writers—Black and white, obscure and well-known—in conversation, Dr. Barnes presents entirely new portraits of these freedom fighters of the nineteenth-century South Carolina Lowcountry. Like feminist and anti-racist leaders in our own moment, the women in Paper Heroines were often flawed. White women reformers sometimes created tensions, silences, revisions, and erasures within their print-culture networks, obscuring the lives and contributions of Black women. Black women developed counternarratives and counter-networks as they sought to reclaim their own life histories. What emerges from Barnes's exploration of these textual conversations is a story of complicated relationships that reveal the dynamism of women's lives in a place and time that was equally tumultuous and consequential.

Black women developed counternarratives and counter-networks as they sought to reclaim their own life histories.

The June 1, 2026 broadcast of The Charlie James Show (Hours 1–4) on 98.9 WORD delivered comprehensive coverage of the shifting political and cultural landscape exactly one week and one day before South Carolina's June 9th primary election.Hour 1: The Endorsement Shockwave & Local Law Enforcement PushbackThe Trump Factor: The show opened with an in-depth analysis of Donald Trump's late-stage endorsement of Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette for SC Governor, which completely disrupted the six-way Republican field.Sheriff Lewis Reacts: Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis joined the program, referencing a viral Facebook post to explain why he is breaking ranks with Trump to maintain his firm endorsement of Attorney General Alan Wilson.National & Global News: Charlie tracked the tightening three-way L.A. mayoral race featuring reality TV star Spencer Pratt, alongside updates on the geopolitical status of Iran and FEC spending lawsuits against U.S. Senate candidate Mark Lynch.Hour 2: Hardline Conservative Alliances & Fiscal DebatesThe Norman-Morgan Ticket: U.S. Representative Ralph Norman shook up the race by tapping South Carolina Freedom Caucus founder Adam Morgan as his running mate, positioning themselves as anti-establishment disruptors against Lindsey Graham's mainstream GOP wing.Political Narratives: The segment tackled how mainstream media uses the "fascist" label to target conservative policies.Taxes and Culture: Charlie advocated for eliminating the SC state income tax, contrasting it with Florida's property tax debates, before warning listeners about a local candidate forum and discussing a noticeable public pullback from Pride Month.Hour 3: Election Integrity, Cultural Symbols, & Biotech ConcernsCo-opting Slogans: Charlie criticized a rainbow Pride Month pin using the phrase "Make America Kind Again" as a progressive attempt to dilute conservative political language.Scientific Autonomy: The show aggressively pushed back against the release of genetically modified mosquitoes in the U.S., arguing that citizens are being treated as unconsenting medical guinea pigs.Election Security: Charlie warned voters about the structural vulnerabilities of unattended mail drop boxes, while closing the hour with an explicit sexting scandal involving Maine progressive candidate Graham Platner.Hour 4: Polling Numbers & Local Upstate ControversiesSucking the Air Out of the Room: Charlie detailed how Trump's endorsement completely deflated the momentum of Evette's rivals, forcing them onto the defensive in the final days of the campaign.The Statistical Gridlock: Newly released numbers put Evette in the lead at 19.9%, narrowly ahead of Alan Wilson (19.4%) and Rom Reddy (19.0%), indicating a June 23rd runoff is inevitable.Final Thoughts: The show closed with updates on America's upcoming 250th celebration and local outrage in Port Royal, SC, over a viral video posted by Rosalyn Holt mocking a public figure's medical diagnosis.

A quiet corner of Adventureland sits directly across from Pirates of the Caribbean but rarely feels like part of the larger story unfolding around it. This week Stephen reimagines that space by repurposing Tortuga Tavern and its adjacent unused stage into Port Royal Provisions, a quick service port eatery paired with a live civic stage that turns everyday guest flow into part of a living breathing harbor town.The result is a layered environment where the civilian side of the Caribbean world responds to constant pirate activity just offshore. From British Caribbean inspired quick service food to civic announcements and reactive storytelling moments, the entire area is designed to feel orderly on the surface with tension always just beyond the waterline. The goal is simple make this forgotten pocket of Adventureland feel intentional connected and alive.Plus for the second week in a row we are featuring a listener submitted Imagineering pitch this time from Marshal Knight who brings a bold idea that relocates an existing Magic Kingdom attraction to EPCOT in a way that just makes sense.Don't forget to check us out on Instagram!

In this episode, host Daquan Mickens sits down with marketing expert and Brand Revolt founder Adam Stoker to discuss why Beaufort, South Carolina, remains one of the most authentic destinations in the country. Adam shares his perspective as a frequent visitor and destination specialist, exploring why the absence of chain restaurants, the stunning variety of 200-year-old architecture, and the "walkable history" of downtown create a magical atmosphere that can't be replicated. They dive into the importance of preservation, the peace found in a long walk under Spanish moss, and why—in an increasingly fast-paced world—Beaufort's commitment to slowing down is its greatest strength.

To start the show, Mark and the gang rehash all the happenings from this weekend's O'Reilly, Truck, & ARCA Series races at Rockingham. But first, Mark tells the story of how he once tried to hire Tommy Baldwin to be his crew chief. After that, we dive into some Spot On, Spot Off, where we cover: - Should the Cup Series go to Rockingham? - Where did Cleetus McFarland perform according to our expectations of him? - Why shouldn't Corey Heim be able to compete for the Truck Series Chase? In Reaction Theatre this week, it was short, but it packed a punch, with fans calling in to thank Mark how only they can, ask about Tommy's car warranty, and more nonsense as usual. Is it really S*** Show Hall of Fame if Connor Zilisch doesn't show up? Also, Mark Martin talks about racing in the rain, Tommy calls the SMART Tour race pathetic, and we all react to the massive pile-up at Port Royal.

Aux XVIIᵉ et XVIIIᵉ siècles, la vie des marins et des boucaniers est tout sauf romantique. Violence, maladies, tempêtes, batailles navales : l'espérance de vie est courte et l'avenir, profondément incertain. C'est dans ce monde brutal qu'apparaît une pratique aujourd'hui méconnue mais fascinante : le matelotage.Le matelotage est un contrat passé entre deux marins, très répandu dans les milieux de la piraterie et de la course, notamment dans les Caraïbes. Il lie deux hommes qui se promettent entraide, solidarité et protection mutuelle. Concrètement, cela signifie partager le butin, veiller l'un sur l'autre en cas de blessure ou de maladie, et surtout assurer une sécurité matérielle en cas de décès.Car le cœur du matelotage est juridique autant qu'humain. Si l'un des deux marins meurt, son matelot hérite de ses biens : argent, armes, parfois même parts de navire. À une époque où les marins sont souvent coupés de leur famille, parfois analphabètes, et sans accès à des institutions solides, ce type d'accord est une assurance vitale. Le matelot devient à la fois héritier, exécuteur moral et dernier proche.Cette pratique est particulièrement répandue chez les boucaniers installés dans des ports comme Port Royal, en Jamaïque, ou à l'île de la Tortue. Ces communautés sont presque exclusivement masculines. Les femmes y sont rares, les mariages traditionnels quasi impossibles. Le matelotage comble alors un vide social et affectif.Faut-il y voir une forme de mariage homosexuel avant l'heure ? La réponse est nuancée. Dans de nombreux cas, le matelotage est avant tout un pacte économique et de survie. Mais les sources indiquent clairement que certains de ces contrats s'accompagnaient d'une relation amoureuse ou sexuelle. Sans être systématique, cette dimension est suffisamment attestée pour montrer que le matelotage pouvait aussi être une union affective assumée, dans des sociétés marginales où les normes européennes perdaient leur force.Les autorités coloniales et religieuses regardaient ces pratiques avec méfiance, voire hostilité. Mais dans les faits, elles les toléraient souvent, faute de pouvoir contrôler ces communautés flottantes et armées.Le matelotage disparaît progressivement au XVIIIᵉ siècle, avec le déclin de la piraterie et la reprise en main des marins par les États et les marines nationales. Il laisse pourtant une trace singulière : celle d'un monde où, face à la mort omniprésente, la solidarité choisie pouvait prendre la forme d'un véritable engagement de vie.Une autre façon d'aimer, de survivre… et de faire famille, au bout du monde.

We follow the tortuous beginnings of Acadia, the first northern European colony in America -- a string of remote fishing and fur trading outposts, Catholic missions, and French farming villages, which had to withstand a harsh, remote environment, religious and political feuding, a near civil war, and frequent privateer attacks, in order to persist through the seventeenth century and finally begin to develop a distinctive Acadian provincial society which would later survive global war and ethnic cleansing.

Off the coast of South Carolina, on Edisto Island, a mausoleum at the back of an old churchyard has become the center of one of the state's most persistent ghost stories. The name “Legare” is carved over the entrance, and for generations people have whispered that a young woman named Julia was buried alive inside. This episode follows the legend to the historical record and asks what we can really know about the woman whose name turned a family tomb into one of South Carolina's most talked-about hauntings.
