Podcasts about Prejudice

On today's episode, we speak with director Joe Wright whose new limited TV series Mussolini: Son of the Century, explores fascism through the early political career of Italy's Prime Minister Mussolini in the 1920s. The show is incredible storytelling from beginning to end, mixing opera and techno rave music while drawing chilling comparisons to the current rise of fascism around the world.  “We all have a dark side. We all have the choice to be the best of ourselves, or the worst of ourselves and we usually land somewhere in the middle. Working on Mussolini allowed me the opportunity to look at my relationship with my own masculinity and it helped me understand the man I want to be,” says director Joe Wright about the way he personalized Benito Mussolini's story to make it more accessible to a modern audience, adding, “I wanted the audience to be at times seduced by him, and then in a Brechtian sense, to kind of pull the rug from underneath their feet, and ask them to apply some critical distance.”  Wright also discusses what he learned about storytelling growing up with his parent's puppet theater, his early films like Pride and Prejudice, and dealing with his own self-doubts as a filmmaker by making a movie about Winston Churchill called Darkest Hour.    “Darkest Hour is a movie about doubt. When I made that movie, I just made a movie called Pan, which the critics hated and lost a huge amount of money. I was sort of consumed afterwards by self-doubt. I was thinking, what have I got to say? I can't reach audiences anymore, I'm out of step. So, then the opportunity came along to do Darkest Hour, and I immediately perceived it as a story about a little man who was consumed by self-doubt, and who was doubted by others all around him. Yet he persevered and overcame enormous odds to lead a nation at their darkest hour. So, for me, that became a story worth telling,” says Wright. To hear more, listen to the podcast. 

A recap and review of the sleeper hit BBC Miniseries North & South, discussed without full details to allow for elements of surprise when watching it yourself. Based on a book written by Elizabeth Gaskell in 1855, the miniseries follows the story of a young woman moving abruptly from a picturesque existence in the South of England to an industrial town in the North. Throughout, the 2005 film adaptation of Pride & Prejudice is mentioned to highlight how the two stories, and productions, share similarities. Then, how a new version of Dracula manages to present a fresh take by focusing on the intense connection between two star-crossed lovers. After a review of what sets this next vampire iteration apart from others before it, we delve into the history of it's director and my theory about why it wasn't originally distributed in America and won't be available in those theaters until next year.

Aaron Alexander & Andrew Gordon dive into The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 (2015), the epic conclusion to Suzanne Collins' YA dystopian saga, directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, Catching Fire). This high-stakes finale follows Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence – Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle) as she leads the rebellion against the tyrannical President Snow (Donald Sutherland – Ordinary People, Pride & Prejudice). Joined by Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth – The Last Song, The Expendables 2) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson – Bridge to Terabithia, The Kids Are All Right), Katniss and her team infiltrate the Capitol in a desperate attempt to end Snow's reign. Mockingjay Part 2 is packed with iconic and highly searched moments: the infiltration of the Capitol with “pods” and deadly traps, the shocking wedding of Finnick and Annie, the heartbreaking deaths of key allies, and the explosive final confrontation between Katniss and President Snow that cements her as the Mockingjay. The powerful closing scenes, including Katniss' decision regarding Coin and the bittersweet epilogue with Peeta and their children, make this one of the most memorable finales in YA film history.

The sight of our national flag has become a common feature at anti-immigration protests and gatherings around the country, and, more recently, the Tricolor has started appearing on lampposts and poles across Dublin city centre. Some have suggested the Tricolour is being weaponised by far-right agitators as a symbol of intimidation, and that its proliferation in public spaces is leaving certain communities feeling unwelcome. So, how are people interpreting the proliferation of this flag-flying? And who makes the rules on how — and by whom — our national flag is used? Presenter: Tessa Fleming.

In John 4 we read about an encounter that Jesus had with a lady at a well in Samaria.  Prior to this we learn that the religious elite wouldn't even enter into Samaria due to their prejudices.  The question we must ask ourselves is, are my prejudices limited my ability to live holy and to offer hope to the world?

Send us a textKatie and special guest Julie(!) run blindly through the woods as they re-watch the suspenseful early 2000's movie: The Village! It's a movie all about how if you are fed up with the woes of society, you can just start your own cult in the woods and abandon all modern luxuries - while also simultaneously fear-mongering your children - all while allowing disease and death to kill everyone because you refuse to go get medicine! ......Yeah this feels a little too topical for this day and age! SOMEBODY HELP! Come along as we meet Ivy, a blind woman who decides to go into the woods to get medicine for her newly shanked fiancé, Lucius. When we're led to believe that the evil creatures who spread fear throughout the town also live in the woods and Ivy probably won't make it, her dad gives her (and us the audience) the real talk about the creatures and the town in general. Spoiler alert! It's kinda dumb! With not many surprising twists and turns we instead get a beautifully shot movie that may or may not be a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice! We've got scary woods, "olden times" (lol), and brainwashing galore in not-really-a-horror-movie movie. Released in 2004, it was written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan and stars Sigourney Weaver, William Hurt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Joaquin Phoenix, Adrien Brody, Brendan Gleeson, and Cherry Jones.

This week, I'm thrilled to be joined by actress and writer Susannah Harker forever beloved to many of us as Jane Bennet in the iconic 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice. Nearly thirty years on, Susannah is stepping back into Jane's world, but this time, she's reimagining the character's life (and her own) in a brand-new comedy-drama, Jane Bennet's Second Spring.In this episode, we trace her journey from becoming Jane Bennet during the height of Austenmania, to exploring the complexities of midlife, resilience, and reinvention. We talk about the quiet strength of Jane Bennet, the stereotypes women face as they age, and why telling multifaceted, authentic women's stories matters more than ever.Susannah also shares the inspiration behind her new film, a witty, moving, and deeply relatable story of a woman whose golden age is just beginning. This conversation is part nostalgia, part creative deep-dive, and part rallying cry for women to own all their stories. Not just the ones others expect us to tell.Where can you find Susannah?

The Teacher Who Was Fired for Demanding Equal Pay Before Brown v. Board, there was a fight for the very soul of education. It wasn't just about where Black children could learn, but how much the system valued the Black adults who taught them. In 1939, a brilliant chemistry teacher named Aline Black did the unthinkable: she sued the Norfolk, VA school board for paying her less than half of what her white colleagues earned. For her courage, she was immediately fired. But the story doesn't end there. Her dismissal ignited a firestorm. The community marched, and another teacher, Melvin Alston, bravely stepped up to take her place as the plaintiff. And guiding their legal battle was a young, relentless attorney for the NAACP: Thurgood Marshall. Their victory in Alston v. Norfolk wasn't just about a paycheck. It was a masterclass in legal strategy that cracked the foundation of "separate but equal" and paved the way for everything that followed. This week on Trey's Table, we're breaking down this crucial but often overlooked chapter in Civil Rights history. ➡️ Tap the link in our bio to listen to Episode 346: "The Price of Prejudice" wherever you get your podcasts. #BlackHistory #CivilRights #ThurgoodMarshall #VirginiaHistory #NAACP #EqualPay #TeacherAppreciation #AfricanAmericanHistory #Podcast #Podcasting #TreysTable #NorfolkVA #HistoryLesson

We're very sorry about the disrupted service over this summer! It's been hectic with work and a house move and various things. To tide you over, here's a formerly paywalled episode: our very first one.…If you've ever done a diversity training session at work, you'll almost certainly have learned about unconscious bias, microaggressions, stereotype threat, and trigger warnings. Prejudice, racism, and trauma are apparently simmering constantly, just under the surface of our conscious minds.It turns out that each of these concepts has been subject to a lot of scientific research. It also turns out, perhaps unsurprisingly, that they're all extremely controversial. In this first paid-subscriber-only episode of The Studies Show, Tom and Stuart look at each of them in turn and try to decide which of them—if any—stand up to scrutiny.To listen to the full version of this episode and see the show notes, you'll need to be a paid subscriber to The Studies Show podcast on Substack.

Send us a textAccording to Miriam Webster, the Bildungsroman is a novel about the moral and psychological growth of a main character. Today, we're kicking off our Anne of Green Gables bonus episode series with an introduction to the genre, a basic examination of life on Prince Edward Island, the 7th Canadian province where the Anne books primarily take place, and some context and backstory about L.M. Montgomery, the creator and author of this timeless series. If we think back to our high school days, it's likely that most of us read popular titles like Catcher in the Rye, Invisible Man, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. But what about coming of age stories that center the experiences of women and girls? Popularized by titles like Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice, the Bildungsroman has also been used throughout history by female authors to challenge societal expectations of women's roles and the politics that make them law. Coming of age stories about women and girls are oftentimes infantilized and deemed appropriate reading material for girls only. We argue they're important and good for everyone, regardless of age and gender. The themes and journeys depicted reflect a very different perspective when boys and men are not the central protagonist, focusing more on romance, gender roles, and access to independence and mobility. Join us this Friday, and for the following five as we read and discuss all eight of the Anne of Green Gables books and the 1980's movie adaptations within this feminist, coming of age context. We'll cover everything from our least and most favorite characters and plot points, to how L.M. Montgomery uses the genre to examine political issues, women's roles, and society at large. We'll bring you fun facts, and even a bonus feature called “That's JUST Like A Man!” These books surprised us in all the best ways and we cannot wait to share them with you! And today we even bring you a fave and fail with a childhood twist, and an old timey / animated smash or pass.Don't be shy, subscribe! New Podcasts every Tuesday!!

Nearly 3 years to the day, Vicki aka Vicksipixiecosplay returns to the podcast! After we previously had technical difficulties on her first episode where we had to cut things short, this time, we are fully technical and now you've got a full episode! We kick things off by talking about Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. We specifically focus on the 2005 movie version. Vicki talks about why she enjoys P&P as much as she does, and why this version is the one she gravitates towards. We talk about some of her favorite characters, who she identifies with, and we touch on some of the other versions as well as the potential upcoming version that Netflix is working on. We also do talk about a bit more Jane Austen overall. From there, we go to Scooby Doo! Vicki talks about how she got into Scooby Doo, which versions she likes, and who her favorite character is (this one may shock you!). We talk about a number of the different versions, including HBO's Velma, the animated Scoob movie, and more. We wrap up by talking about Cosplay. Vicki talks about her growth on the social media side of things over the past three years, including going viral a number of times, how she's dealt with troll comments and what goes into that experience. Plus, we talk about some of the cosplays she's done, some future cosplays, and how her growth in the community has led her to organize community Bridgerton/Regency era meet up event over the past few years.

Like all of us, healthcare providers bring their biases to work. But if those biases result in a reduced level of care for their patients, how can we correct them?  An innovative experiment in three very different countries attempted to reduce bias in contraceptive care for women. Zachary Wagner of USC and Manisha Shah of UC Berkeley were two of a multidisciplinary team that implemented program and evaluated the results. They talk to Tim Phillips about how biases shape contraceptive care, the methods that can help us to understand why they arise, and the challenges of creating a program that can work in different cultural and religious settings. 

250 years after her birth, Jane Austen is more popular than ever, with the publication of new editions of her novels and numerous new film adaptations in production. But what does it mean to read and edit Jane Austen today through the lens of colonialism, cartography, and race? Scholar Patricia A. Matthew, who recently edited new editions of three Austen novels, joins us to explore the ongoing fascination with Jane and share new research about the Regency era. How wealth from Caribbean sugar plantations and slavery shaped the world depicted in Austen's novels—and how today's readers can confront the economic and imperial histories embedded in Regency-era fiction. During her fellowship at the Folger Shakespeare Library, Patricia Matthew examined archival materials, including legal texts, maps, travel logs, and legal documents, to gain a better understanding of colonial sugar plantations in the Caribbean. She looked at how empire and enslavement wealth from the new world, slavery, and race informed (or didn't) the literature and visual culture of the 18th– and 19th–century Britainies. This research now shapes Matthew Patricia's new annotated editions of Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, and Mansfield Park, and opens up broader conversations about adaptation, nostalgia, and canon formation. From overlooked maps folded into rare archival books to questions of literary escapism and cultural memory, Patricia offers a rich and expansive perspective on Jane Austen, her era, and her legacy in 2025. >> Pre-order Patricia Matthew's new editions of Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey from Penguin Classics, and Mansfield Park from Norton Library.
