Cut it out, writers!

How do we honor people who were enslaved when the enslavers are at the center of so much of our history?For generations, Nashville's portrayals of its Black history has lacked accuracy, as institutions have shied away from the legacy of American slavery.Today, we look at three well-known historical sites in Middle Tennessee: The Hermitage, Fort Negley and Travellers Rest. All have made recent efforts to adjust how they portray their history — but not everyone is satisfied with the approach.This episode was produced by Cynthia Abrams.Guests: Jamel Campbell-Gooch, community organizer and descendant of Esquire Hayes, who was enslaved at The Hermitage Dr. Aisha Francis, president of Franklin Cummings Tech and descendant of Hiram and Eveline Overton, who were enslaved at Travellers Rest Dr. Angela Sutton, Vanderbilt historian who studies Fort Negley Eola Lewis Dance, ethnohistorian and former CEO of James Madison's Montpelier

Happy 4th of July — we're doing it differently this year! Brian and John are joined by returning guest Henry O'Brien (Film Obsessive / Stuff I Watched Substack) to review Oliver Stone's BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY (1989) — and make the case that this is not just Tom Cruise's best performance, but one of the most underseen masterworks of American cinema. In this episode: • Why Stone's 5-act structure is a deliberate rejection of war film conventions • Tom Cruise vs. Eyes Wide Shut — where does Ron Kovic rank? • Willem Dafoe in Mexico: Robert Eggers crazy vs. balls-to-the-wall crazy • Stone & Sorkin as two sides of the same American myth coin

Gentiles often appeared in the news sections of the London Yiddish press, and sometimes they also appeared in the regular “feuilleton” section in character sketches and fiction, stories and scenes from immigrant East-End Jewish life. Many of these portrayals were humorous local scenarios and imagined tales. This talk will look at a broad section of how and where Gentile characters appear and their relationship to the Jewish immigrant. Gentiles fix cars and do physical chores for the hapless immigrant. The wily immigrant hoodwinks the Gentile recruiting officers during the First World War. The stern Gentile gatekeeper of British government politics, refuses access to the naïve immigrant wanting to help. The paternalistic English police officer gives directions to parts of London never before visited by an East-End immigrant. A proud fascist blackshirt is confused when he sees his respected Jewish neighbors in a strident communist counter-demonstration. Yet the word goy is also used by Jews describing each other: skipping the bus fare, not sharing their Yiddish newspaper, or being rude to their neighbor.

The podcast for the world's most interesting writers is going a little closer to home; we're visiting Leeds and the North of England for a conversation about with Stu Hennigan about his novel, KESHED.  Not only is it lovely to speak about some of the places I know really well, but also a bittersweet too, as Stu's novel reminds of me of the people and places I've moved away from.  What I loved about Stu's novel, is its sheer vividness of its writing, combining, artfully, the vernacular and the obscene. It's evocations of northern town and cities that are close to me, but also its unflinching approach to troubling subject matter. Stu Hennigan is a writer, poet, editor, and musician based in Leeds, UK. His acclaimed book, Ghost Signs: Poverty and the Pandemic, became notable for its powerful documentary fo the  city's most deprived communities during COVID-19 lockdown. KESHED, published by Ortac Press, is his first novel.  *this episode features strong language and discussion of sensitive themes!* Tickets to me in conversation with Alice Hattrick.  https://www.leedslitfest.co.uk/events/alice-hattrick-fancy-work/ Get exclusive subscriber benefits from the Rippling Pages.  https://patreon.com/RipplingPagesPod?utm_medi Check out the Rippling Pages Bookshop and buy all the books featured on the Rippling Pages: https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/ripplingpagespod Interested in hosting your own podcast?

Formula 1 gets a second chance at being...Formula 1! Will F1 succeed, or will it struggle? Lots of subtle but important changes as we look forward to the 2026 Miami Grand Prix. On the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah discuss the 2026 Miami Grand Prix, the stories, key narratives, talking points, rivalries, and of course, racing! Most Formula One races are drama-packed, but Miami takes the cake—turns, fake marinas, celebrity cameos, and more overtakes than you can shake a tire at. This year, it's not just about lap times; it's about race politics, new regulations, and whether the track's just an excuse for a good time in the sun. Kunal and Soumil are back to decode the madness—covering everything from Netflix's questionable portrayal of drivers' fitness (seriously, Vettel running a sub-three-hour marathon? Mind-blowing or misfire?) to India's hyper-ambitious 2027 F1 hosting plans, which seem more like wishful thinking than a real calendar slot. Plus, the season's big rule tweaks are under the microscope: batteries, turbo limits, and whether F1 drivers are more like pilots or mere operators in their high-tech flying machines. You'll discover why Mercedes still hasn't cracked Miami's code, if Ferrari's recent struggles are just a blip, and why McLaren's latest upgrades are shaping up to turn heads. Plus, some juicy predictions—who's snagging the sprint trophy, who'll win the Grand Prix, and why we're most excited for a Miami race that's become a spectacle of shortcuts, celebrity sightings, and strategic shuffles. This episode isn't just for F1 die-hards; it's for anyone who loves high-speed chaos, glamorous drama, and questioning if the sport is still the pinnacle of motorsport or just the coolest live-action video game. Spoiler: Miami's action might just rewrite the pecking order. Perfect for motorsport fans, curious onlookers, and anyone looking to spice up their weekend with some insider insights, hilarious takes, and predictions you'll want to bookmark. Dive in now before the lights go out and the race begins!

Bonus Episode of "Inside Schizophrenia" podcast from Healthline Media. “Paranoid schizophrenic admits to attacking dog walker.” When we watch a horror movie, we know the “madman” on screen is a work of fiction. But when the nightly news leads with a diagnosis to explain a tragedy, the fear it creates is very real — and often permanent.Why does the media lead with schizophrenia only when the story involves violence, yet remain silent when it comes to stories of recovery, hope, and humanity? In this hard-hitting episode, host Rachel Star Withers (who lives with schizophrenia) explores the Lead with Fear phenomenon — the dangerous journalistic trend of linking a diagnosis to a crime before the facts are even in — and why schizophrenia seems to have the worst PR team in the world. Later in the show, we sit down with two media heavyweights who are using their platforms to overhaul how the world views mental health.: Janet Yang, an Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning producer and former President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Frank Kosa, an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker for National Geographic, the History Channel, and A&E. Listener Take-A-Ways: why "paranoid schizophrenia" is an obsolete clinical term that journalists refuse to let go of the startling statistic that fewer than 20% of news stories about schizophrenia include themes of recovery practical ways you can hold news outlets accountable and promote stories of hope Our guest, Frank Kosa, is an award-winning documentary producer-writer-director, and a journalist. He produced National Geographic's “The Story of God with Morgan Freeman,” wrote the inaugural season of Travel Channel's hit show “Booze Traveler,” produced the award-winning “The Revolutionary War,” a mini-series for A&E, “Christianity: The Second Millennium” and multiple shows of TV's most engaging documentary series including “Life Without People,” “The Universe,” and “Game Changers.” His shows have aired on The Science Channel, The History Channel, Discovery, A&E, TLC, Animal Planet, The Travel Channel, The Weather Channel, Lifetime, Bloomberg TV, HGTV, and National Geographic.

He has also worked for films and TV shows produced by Universal, Warner Bros., & Sony.

Yang's extensive film and television credits include “The Joy Luck Club,” “The People vs. Larry Flynt,” “The Weight of Water,” “Shanghai Calling,” “High Crimes,” “Zero Effect,” and “Over the Moon.” Yang began her career by running the first distribution company to market Chinese films into North America. She also brokered the reintroduction of American studio films to the Chinese marketplace after a decades-long hiatus. This, in turn, led to joining Steven Spielberg on the historic production of “Empire of the Sun.” This was followed by long-term partnership with multiple Academy-Award winning writer/director, Oliver Stone. Our host, Rachel Star Withers, (Link: www.rachelstarlive.com) is an entertainer, international speaker, video producer, and schizophrenic. She has appeared on MTV's Ridiculousness, TruTV, NBC's America's Got Talent, Marvel's Black Panther, TUBI's #shockfight, Goliath: Playing with Reality, and is the host of the HealthLine podcast “Inside Schizophrenia”.

She has created a kid's mental health comic line, The Adventures of ____.

5. Guest Author: James Shapiro James Shapiro describes the Federal Theater's bold production of *It Can't Happen Here*, which served as a warning against a fascist takeover in America. The play's portrayal of concentration camps and tyranny significantly shifted public opinion regarding the threats posed by Hitler and Mussolini. However, the project faced mounting political opposition. Shapiro introduces Martin Dies, an ambitious Texas congressman who chaired the first House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Dies targeted the Federal Theater as "low-hanging fruit," accusing it of being communistic to attack FDR's progressive New Deal policies. (5)1921

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended her department's immigration enforcement tactics in front of a Senate committee on Tuesday and pushed back against criticism from Democrats who say she wrongly disparaged two protesters killed by federal officers in Minneapolis earlier this year.It was Noem's first congressional appearance since the shooting deaths of the two protesters galvanized widespread opposition to how the Trump administration is executing its mass deportation agenda, a centerpiece policy of President Donald Trump's second term. At the time, Noem portrayed the protesters, two U.S. citizens, as agitators, although accounts from local officials and bystander video contradicted assertions from her and other administration officials.In one exchange, retiring Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina called her leadership a “disaster” and skewered her handling of the immigration crackdown and her management of emergency response.In the hearing, which stretched nearly five hours, Noem defended her agency's treatment of immigrants caught up in enforcement activities, and blamed activists and others for attacks against officers.“I want to address the dangerous environment that our ICE officers face on the streets today," Noem said. “They are facing a serious and escalating threat as a result of deliberate mischaracterizations of their heroic work and rhetoric that demonizes our law enforcement.”Since the deaths in Minneapolis, the administration has taken steps meant to tone down tensions, including drawing down the operation there. But the administration has continued pressing restrictions against both legal and illegal immigration, has been buying up warehouses for immigration detention and persisting in federal enforcement in areas around the country. Noem said about 650 investigators remain in Minnesota as part of a broader fraud probe.The immigration tactics of Noem's department have triggered a clash in Congress over its routine funding, which remains unresolved, although a spending bill passed last year granted it a significant infusion of cash for the Republican administration's mass deportation policy. Noem called the partial shutdown “reckless” and blamed Democrats for a move she said put national security at risk.Her appearance in front of the Judiciary Committee also comes after a weekend shooting at a bar in Texas that is being investigated as a possible act of terrorism, leading to concerns that the escalating conflict in Iran could have repercussions for security in the U.S.Noem blames chaotic situation for her characterization of killed protestersIn what was initially billed as an effort to root out fraud in Minnesota, Homeland Security sent hundreds of officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection to the state. They were met by protesters who organized marches, patrolled neighborhoods for ICE activity with whistles and ferried food to immigrants too afraid to leave their homes.Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot and killed by an ICE officer on Jan. 7, setting off intense protests demanding an end to the operation. Then on Jan. 24, Customs and Border Protection officers opened fire on another Minnesota resident, Alex Pretti, who had been filming enforcement operations.Those deaths led to cries for accountability and transparency. Noem, whose initial comments portrayed both Good and Pretti as the aggressors, has come under withering criticism by Democrats and some Republicans, who have called for her to resign.Democrats repeatedly questioned Noem about her initial comments and called on her to apologize.“You and your agency rushed to brand these victims as, quote, domestic terrorists,” said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the top Democrat on the committee. “We have ample video evidence and eyewitness testimony proving you are wrong. Your statements caused immeasurable pain to these families.”Noem said she was relying on information from people on the scene and blamed “violent protesters” for contributing to the chaos officers encountered.“I was getting reports from the ground from agents at the scene, and I would say that it was a chaotic scene,” she said.After public outrage over the deaths, Trump sent border czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis to take control of operations. Homan has since announced a drawdown of the ICE and CBP officers who had been sent to Minnesota to carry out what had been dubbed Operation Metro Surge, although he's been adamant that the president's mass deportation agenda will continue.Noem also faced some Republican criticismRepublicans largely kept the focus on the large numbers of migrants who came into the country under former President Joe Biden, portraying Noem as the leader of a cleanup effort of the former administration's mess.But she did come under some harsh questioning by members of her own party. Tillis, who called on Noem to resign following the shootings in Minneapolis, criticized her for erroneously arresting American citizens, for failures in her disaster recovery agency and for how she shot her own dog.“What we've seen is a disaster under your leadership, Miss Noem, a disaster," Tillis said. “What we've seen is innocent people getting detained that turn out are American citizens.”Tillis, who has already announced that he is not running for another term., added: “We're beginning to get the American people to think that deporting people is wrong. It's the exact opposite. The way you're going about deporting them is wrong."Another Republican, Sen. John Kennedy from Louisiana, also pushed her to explain why her department paid more than $200 million for an ad campaign she appeared in last year encouraging migrants to leave the country voluntarily and questioned whether Trump knew about the price tag ahead of time.Noem, who is set to appear Wednesday in front of a House committee, defended those ads, saying they were effective and went through the regular department bidding process.“Well, they were effective in your name recognition,” Kennedy said.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm talking about Intent, Portrayal, and Perception. What you intend isn't always what people see, how something is portrayed isn't always the whole truth, & perception can take on a life of its own. I'm reminding listeners why clarity, humility, and grace matter, because how we communicate and how we're understood can shape relationships, trust, and outcomes. It's a timely reminder for all of us to slow down, listen closer, and make sure our intent lines up with how we show up. Sponsor: Hydration Lounge HydrationL.com

1. Portrayal of ICE Operations ICE arrests in Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul) are presented as targeting violent criminal offenders, including: Registered sex offenders Individuals accused of rape Individuals with histories of domestic violence, DUI, and sexual assault These individuals were previously free due to local non‑cooperation with ICE. ICE is described as fulfilling its intended mission of removing dangerous criminals from communities. 2. Criticism of Democratic Leadership Minnesota Democratic officials (mayors, city council members, state leaders) National Democratic figures (Chuck Schumer, Chris Van Hollen, Tina Smith, Stacey Abrams, Jon Ossoff) Key accusations include: Shielding criminal undocumented immigrants Encouraging or excusing obstruction of ICE operations Falsely portraying ICE as abusive or authoritarian Refusing to condemn protests that allegedly crossed legal or ethical lines (e.g., disrupting church services) 3. Depiction of Internal Democratic Conflict There is a “civil war” within the Democratic Party: One faction allegedly wants to abolish ICE outright Another faction purportedly wants to soften rhetoric while effectively achieving the same outcome Democrats are accused of strategically “humanizing criminals” and “dehumanizing ICE agents” to influence public perception. 4. Framing of Protests and Activism Protesters opposing ICE are described as: “Far‑left,” “radical,” or “deranged” Protecting criminals rather than communities Protests at or inside churches are portrayed as violations of social and religious norms. Democratic officials are criticized for characterizing these protests as mostly peaceful and justified. 5. Media and Narrative Control Mainstream and local media underreport crimes committed by arrested undocumented immigrants Media figures fail to challenge false or extreme claims made about ICE ICE agents are framed as unfairly maligned while operating under hostile political conditions. 6. Broader Ideological Framing The Democratic Party is portrayed as influenced by: Marxism, socialism, and communism Anti‑police and anti‑law‑enforcement ideology References to Hitler, Hugo Chávez, and authoritarianism are used to argue that left‑wing populism is dangerous and historically problematic. 7. Pro‑Trump and Law‑and‑Order Message Donald Trump is: A defender of law enforcement A counterweight to radical left activism Voter support for Trump is driven by a desire for public safety, border enforcement, and accountability.

When someone asks what I ‘do' for a living, there are times I want to respond with, “I tell stories.” After all, most attorneys spend their time trying to get the “full picture” of what's happening in a given case, and the best narratives give us just that. Now, unfortunately, somewhere along the way the expression, “telling stories”, became short-hand for “making stuff up”, and since there's already plenty of jokes about lawyers' relationship with the truth, my answer is typically a much-less mysterious, “defense attorney”. But as someone who consumes a fair amount of legal media - be it in books or on screen - I can tell you that truth is almost always stranger than fiction. But as my guest this week is quick to point out, just because a story is ‘strange' doesn't mean it has to be ‘complicated'. Joining me this week is Brent Turman, a trial attorney whose commercial litigation practice covers a variety of matters including business disputes, intellectual property, real estate, arbitration, and civil RICO actions. But before his legal career, Brent was an Associate Operations Producer for ESPN & ABC College Football, also producing commercials, industrial videos, in-arena entertainment, and music videos for clients throughout North America. Now he pulls from these experiences, frequently giving trial skills presentations across the country, teaching other attorneys about the strategies and tools he has used in the courtroom.We discuss how Brent found his way into the legal profession, the narrative tools from his early career have transferred into deliverable results for his clients, and so much more. Enjoy the show! 

Katja Hoyer, German-British Historian, Author and Journalist joins Sean and Sarah to discuss the dilemma facing German actors since 1945: whether to take Nazi roles or not.They examine 'memory politics' of the Second World War, the stereotypical Nazi portrayal seen in Hollywood over the years such as Wolf Kahler, through to modern German actors like Sandra Hüller, Daniel Brühl, Franka Potente, among others.From Star Wars, Commando Comics to Coronation Street, this episode truly examines a rarely-discussed issue in films with the trademark humour that you've come to expect from Sean and Sarah, whilst maintaining a respectful tone given the historical context.Question Raised:-How quickly did this issue rear it's head in post-war Germany?-Could a German family join Coronation Street?-How many films/television series does Sean mention?-When did the stereotypical Nazi villain begin?-What was the reaction to The Untergang [Downfall] in Germany?-Do all film villains have to be either German or well-spoken English characters?-Will German topics other than the Nazis ever be of interest to the international film scene?Books:-Der Brand [The Fire] by Jörg Friedrich, published in 2002.

Convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh — the disgraced South Carolina lawyer serving life in prison for killing his wife Maggie and son Paul — has decided to issue a statement from behind bars attacking Hulu's new true-crime series about his case. In the letter, Murdaugh claims the show contains “numerous inaccuracies” and “misleading portrayals,” even going so far as to say it “totally mischaracterizes his relationships” with the very people he murdered. He accuses Hulu of failing to reach out to him, his attorneys, or his surviving son Buster before releasing the series — as if that somehow invalidates decades of documented lies, theft, and manipulation. In this episode, Tony Brueski rips apart Murdaugh's delusional statement line by line — exposing the narcissism, denial, and moral rot that have defined every chapter of this man's life. From stealing millions from clients, to staging his own suicide for an insurance scam, to the brutal murders at Moselle, Alex Murdaugh's downfall is a masterclass in arrogance. Now, from prison, he's worried about how Hulu portrayed him? The audacity is staggering — and we're breaking down every word of it.

3. LONDINIUM 91 CE. Hollywood and Rome. Gaius and Germanicus concluded their meeting by critiquing Hollywood's portrayal of Roman decline, focusing on Gladiator 2. Gaius admitted he could not finish the film due to its historically inaccurate conclusion. The film's ultimate payoff—the removal of bad emperors and the return to the Republic—is viewed as fundamentally wrong. Gaius argued that empires do not revert to republics, as the republic was "aged out" and the empire was necessary, suggesting that Hollywood confuses the word "republic" with "democracy." Germanicus elaborated on this distortion, noting that societies frequently look back and shape the past into a "golden age" from which they have fallen. The founders of the American republic were informed by Rome and Greece, viewing Rome as a morality play detailing triumph, tragedy, and the ultimate loss of virtue. This tradition of distortion was reinforced by Gibbon's Decline and Fall, which packaged the later empire as corrupted by "barbarism and religion" to suit the ideals of the Enlightenment. This historical lens persists, leading to a simplistic modern conventional wisdom, especially prevalent in Hollywood media, that "republic is good, empire is bad." Hollywood fails to recognize that the imperial institution maintained many of the Republic's institutions and sensibilities. Furthermore, the media elite confuses the Roman imperial office with a "mafia don" or "banana republic dictatorship." The speakers concluded that while they see the world "as it is," American aspirations (like those reflected in Hollywood) see the world "as they want it to be." AGRIPPINA MINOR Retry
