1. Headline: The Birth of the Federal Theater Project Guest Author: James Shapiro On April 14, 1936, the Lafayette Theater hosted an integrated crowd for the premiere of an all-Black production of *Macbeth*. This era-defining moment was made possible by the Works Progress Administration under Harry Hopkins, who launched Federal One to employ artists during the Great Depression. Hopkins believed in putting people back to work in fields that suited their skills rather than manual labor. He recruited Hallie Flanagan, an experimental theater professor from Vassar College, to lead the newly formed Federal Theater Project, which eventually reached millions across twenty-nine states.

2. Headline: Developing Talent in Harlem's Negro Unit Guest Author: James Shapiro The Federal Theater Project aimed to develop Black talent by establishing "negro units" across America. The New York unit at the Lafayette Theater was initially led by Broadway star Rose McClendon, who recognized the importance of developing Black actors and directors. She brought in John Houseman, then a struggling administrator, who subsequently recruited a nineteen-year-old Orson Welles to direct his first professional Shakespeare play. This initiative provided revolutionary opportunities for Black performers in an industry where they were previously barred from even working as ushers. (2)1940
6. Headline: The Rise of Martin Dies and HUAC Guest Author: James Shapiro Congressman Martin Dies, an ambitious politician from Texas, leveraged the burgeoning medium of radio to attack the Federal Theater Project. As chairman of the first House Un-AmericanActivities Committee, Dies targeted the program by framing its output as communistic and un-American. He exploited public fatigue with relief programs to challenge the popular New Deal policies of President Roosevelt. This political maneuvering culminated in a historic 1938 hearing where Hallie Flanagan defended the role of theater in democracy against accusations of salacious and radical content. (6)
7. Headline: Smear Tactics and Public Perception Guest Author: James Shapiro The DICE committee's investigation was fueled by testimony from Hazel Huffman, a disgruntled former clerk who claimed the project was tainted by communism based on play titles alone. Huffman's unverified accusations were widely publicized by a hostile press, swaying public opinion against the arts. Although Huffman had limited knowledge of the program, Martin Dies denied Flanagan the chance to cross-examineher, breaking standard congressional protocols. This era established a political "playbook" for attacking cultural organizations by framing progressive ideas as foreign threats, a tactic that continues today. (7)

8. Guest Author: James Shapiro James Shapiro recounts the 1938 congressional hearings where Hallie Flanagan defended the Federal Theater Project. In a famous exchange, a committee member questioned if Renaissance playwright Christopher Marlowe was a communist. Despite her defense, the project was eventually defunded, leading to a tragic decline in Flanagan's later life. Shapiro also debunks the legend of a "voodoo curse" supposedly placed on critic John Hammond, identifying it as a fabrication by Orson Welles and John Houseman. He concludes that the political tactics used against the arts in the 1930s remain a modern "playbook". (8)1931

What does it take to move from concept to commercial vaccine manufacturing at speed without compromising quality or compliance? In this conversation, leaders from Alfasigma's CDMO arm, Morpho, share a detailed look at how they approached a complex vaccine technology transfer, from facility upgrades to regulatory approval. The discussion offers a grounded perspective on execution, coordination, and capability building in today's evolving CDMO landscape. This podcast explores: • The role of facility design, sterile manufacturing, and cold chain expansion • Why flexibility in equipment and formats matters for biological products • Approaches to contamination control and aseptic processing • Coordinating engineering, quality, and regulatory teams under tight timelines • What this project reveals about broader CDMO trends, from personalization to speed and sustainability
This episode dives deep into the unsettling evidence of systemic fragility, from the digital backdoors of our voting booths to the volatile signals of a shifting global economy. We open with a hard-hitting look at reported foreign access to U.S. voter data and the long-ignored warnings of activists who were ridiculed for years, only to be proven right. As states like Colorado and Georgia face scrutiny over mail-in ballot transitions and unauthorized system access, we examine the growing tension between citizens and a "stolen system," punctuated by the chilling rhetoric of "Project 2029" and threats of political retribution against the current administration.We are joined by 30-year commodity veteran Vince Lanci, publisher of GoldFix. Lanci breaks down the "policy fog" surrounding the FOMC and the eerie parallels between today's energy shocks and the 1956 Suez Crisis. We explore why gold and silver have yet to fully ignite despite escalating Middle East risks and fiscal dominance. Lanci provides a masterclass on navigating the 2026 economic landscape, revealing the massive disconnect between current market pricing and the underlying reality of stagflation risks and supply-side constraints.Finally, we share the powerful story of Harry Wait, a 71-year-old Wisconsin patriot now facing felony charges for exposing the blatant vulnerabilities in his state's online voting portal. Alongside activist Scott Milheiser, Wait recounts how he proved that anyone with a name and birthdate could hijack a ballot only to be targeted by the very system he tried to protect. From the legal battle in Walworth County to the fight for "Honest, Open, and Transparent" government, this segment exposes the high cost of truth in an era of institutional overreach.

How much power does The New York Times really have , and what happens when that power is used to shape narrative instead of pursue truth? In this episode of The Curious Middle, we speak with Ashley Rindsberg, author of The Gray Lady Winked, about the Times' reporting on some of the most important stories of the last century: the Nazi invasion of Poland, Stalin's Soviet Union, the Holocaust, Israel, the 1619 Project nd more. Ashley Rindsberg is an investigative journalist and author focused on media malfeasance, information warfare, and the hidden systems influencing public discourse. Ashley joins us to explain why he believes the paper has repeatedly protected power, buried inconvenient truths, and helped shape public opinion in ways that changed history. We also talk about the Sulzberger family, the culture inside elite newsrooms, the collapse of trust in journalism, and how listeners can build a healthier media diet today.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Brett Harned, founder of the Digital PM Community and the Digital PM Summit, and author of Project Management for Humans: Helping People Get Things Done. Brett has spent years coaching project leaders and helping organizations rethink what project management really is. His core conviction: the human side of the work is not a nice-to-have. It is the work. In this conversation, you'll hear how Brett fell into project management and what early experiences shaped his perspective on people and projects. You'll learn the patterns he sees repeated across teams and industries, practical habits for when projects feel messy or start to drift, and why he believes project management is a leadership role that most organizations still undervalue. Brett also shares his candid take on AI, what it can and cannot do for project leaders, and what advice he would give his younger self. If you lead projects or teams, whether or not you have a PM title, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Often with PMs, it's finding or receiving or feeling the permission to lead like a human instead of like a machine or a robot." "Projects fail because conversations didn't happen or they happened way too late." "Project management is a leadership role and too often organizations don't see it as a leadership role the way that they should." "Project managers are quietly carrying emotional labor that no one really acknowledges." "You can't earn trust by being invisible." "The role has become less about task tracking and more about judgment, good communication and trust building." "If you call people on your team resources, they have every right to call you overhead." "Slowing conversations down before speeding up the work is like the biggest thing." "Drift isn't usually about effort. It's about misaligned understanding." "AI is not going to replace a really good leader." "AI is great at admin. It's terrible at the leadership stuff. It can't read the room, it can't navigate tension, it can't earn trust." "Say the thing now. Saying something early is almost always safer than saying it too late." "The job of a project manager isn't to absorb chaos. It's to make it a conversation." "Caring about people and building relationships is a skill, and it's a skill that's necessary for this career."

For more learning on this topic, check out: Episode 336 with Clint Padgett. During the interview with Brett, Andy mentioned the weakness of using only percent complete or status colors. That's something Clint and Andy talked about in episode 336. Episode 99 with Mike Roberto. The topic of conflict came up several times in this discussion. In episode 99, Mike and Andy talk about managing the tension between conflict and consensus. It's a discussion worth hearing, especially if you grew up thinking conflict is mostly a negative. Episode 500 with Steve Brown, former Google DeepMind futurist. Andy and Steve talk about AI and the future of work, and it's a discussion highly recommended for anyone leading projects today.

Ashley Marcotte, Senior Manager of Project & Enablement at Numeracle, spoke with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, during the HIMSS conference about the growing need for trusted voice communications and the role of verified calling technologies in enterprise environments. Marcotte explained that organizations across industries—particularly healthcare—are facing increasing challenges with call authentication and spam filtering. As consumers become more cautious about answering unknown numbers, legitimate business calls are often ignored or blocked entirely. “Organizations need to ensure that when they call a customer or patient, the recipient can clearly see who is calling and trust that the call is legitimate,” she said. Numeracle helps enterprises address this challenge by providing visibility and verification tools that allow businesses to register and authenticate their phone numbers across the telecommunications ecosystem. These capabilities help organizations protect their brand identity, reduce call blocking, and improve answer rates for critical communications such as appointment reminders, patient outreach, and customer service interactions. Marcotte also noted that many enterprises attending HIMSS are recognizing that trusted voice communications are now a strategic requirement rather than a technical afterthought. With increasing regulatory scrutiny and growing consumer awareness around fraud and spoofed calls, organizations must ensure that their outbound communications are both secure and transparent. As digital transformation continues across healthcare and other sectors, solutions that restore trust and accountability in voice communications are becoming an essential part of modern customer and patient engagement strategies.

Interior design discovery is where profitable projects are won or lost. In this episode, I break down why discovery is far more than a casual consultation or intake call. It is the critical bridge between your marketing and your money, helping you build trust, establish authority, qualify clients effectively, and uncover the full potential of every project before you ever present a proposal. I'm also walking you through my five-step design discovery framework so you can stop underpricing, avoid misaligned clients, and expand scope organically before it turns into stressful scope creep. From creating a strategic website inquiry to conducting a paid home review and confidently presenting your letter of agreement, this episode will help you create a discovery process that leads to better clients, stronger margins, and a more peaceful, profitable interior design business. In this episode, you'll hear: (01:21) Why discovery is the hinge between interior design marketing and money, and how weak discovery causes you to lose projects before you ever quote them. (05:17) The five-factor fit filter I use to evaluate every potential client: investment alignment, timeline realism, decision authority, behavioral signals, and energy check. (08:07) A real-life story of how a seemingly small $15K project turned into a $150K opportunity because I didn't take the initial inquiry at face value. (14:13) How to use a complimentary consultation to establish authority, ask better lifestyle questions, and guide clients into a paid home review or style and comfort assessment. (19:53) What to include in a home review so you can reveal hidden opportunities, expand project scope naturally, and position your recommendations as high-value expertise. (22:47) How to confirm scope, investment, and next steps before presenting your letter of agreement so there is no sticker shock, backpedaling, or fee confusion. Join Melissa at HPMKT Spring 2026, to transform your design business with better clients, bigger projects, and more profit.

Send a textAccessing best-practice gender-affirming care for transgender youth is becoming increasingly challenging: 27 states have passed laws banning or restricting care, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld these bans in the Skrmetti v. L.W. case, and the current Administration has pursued a relentless campaign attacking access. As a result, thousands of transgender youth and their families are being forced to try to find new healthcare providers, travel extreme distances, and take on significant expenses just to get the care they need. Today In the Den, we'll talk with Amanda Keller from The Trans Youth Emergency Project (TYEP), a program that was created to help families navigate this complex and exhausting maze, offering logistical and financial support. Special Guest: Amanda KellerAmanda Keller is a Southern LGBTQIA movement leader working at the intersection of strategy, equity, and liberation. As Manager of Strategic Partnerships at the Campaign for Southern Equality, she is helping lead efforts to Meet the Moment, mobilizing resources, forging powerful cross-sector partnerships, and advancing equity across race, gender, and class in a region where the stakes for LGBTQIA people could not be higher. With more than 16 years of nonprofit leadership, Amanda has built institutions and movements that center those most often pushed to the margins. As the Founding Director of the Magic City Acceptance Center in Birmingham, Alabama, she grew a grassroots vision into a statewide hub serving thousands of LGBTQIA youth, families, and community members, expanding access to affirming services, leadership development, and community power across Alabama. Her work spans youth development, HIV advocacy, public policy engagement, and cultural organizing, grounded in a clear belief: the South is not a lost cause — it is a place of courage, resilience, and possibility. Her career is defined by one throughline, ensuring that where you live does not determine whether you are safe, affirmed, or free.Links from the Show:Find the Trans Youth Emergency Project hereJoin TYEP's Parent Support Group Volunteer with Campaign for Southern EqualityListen to the Trans Cookout PodcastSupportive Schools ProgramSend a Message of Support to Trans YouthJoin Mama Dragons todayIn the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.

Is the FACE Act being enforced as Congress originally intended or has its selected application raised serious concerns about fairness, constitutional limits, and the protection of pro-life Americans?The FACE Act has returned to the national spotlight following charges against former CNN anchor Don Lemon for interfering with the religious exercise of worshippers at a Minnesota church last month. Enacted in 1994, the law was intended to protect access to both reproductive health facilities and houses of worship by imposing criminal and civil penalties on those who intimidate, injure, or obstruct individuals seeking to enter them.In recent years, however, questions have been raised about whether the statute has been enforced evenhandedly. The law has been used repeatedly to prosecute pro-life activists, while many pro-life pregnancy resource centers and churches that have faced vandalism, threats, and even firebombings have seen comparatively limited federal response. These concerns have fueled growing calls in Congress to repeal or reform the statute.Join us for a timely discussion as a panel of experts examines the FACE Act’s statutory framework, its recent enforcement, and the constitutional and policy questions surrounding its future.Featuring:Matthew Cavedon, Director, Project on Criminal Justice, Cato InstituteJeremy Dys, Senior Counsel, First LibertyErin Hawley, Supreme Court & Appellate Litigation Chair, Lex Politica; Of Counsel, Alliance Defending Freedom(Moderator) Casey Mattox, Vice President, Legal Strategy, Stand Together; Vice President, Legal and Judicial Strategy, Americans for Prosperity

Tyler Parker, David Frank, and TJ introduce a new monthly-ish podcast format called the Kinship Lab, created to reflect on recent interviews/events or other emerging ideas. Comment below on any questions or topics you'd like to see in the future.In this first Kinship Lab, they reflect on a recent two-day summit of a handful of Side B leaders, emphasizing growing capacity for fruitful conversation amid differences and experienced trauma. Questions at play: What is Side B? How should Side B engage trans and gender-dysphoria experiences theologically and pastorally? How can Side B respond to ongoing debates about celibate partnerships? Can Side B leadership develop breadth, depth, accountability, and maybe even create a common covenant? Is Side B a gift for Q/SSA people, or for the whole church?00:00 Welcome to Kinship Lab02:23 Future of Side B | Why Call It Project04:25 Summit Setup and Hopes05:18 Building Trust Through Tension09:47 Defining Side B Today14:11 Gender Questions Rising17:16 Celibate Partnerships Debate18:53 Learning From Experts24:01 Global Voices Needed26:38 Leader Accountability and Unity29:51 Movement Longevity and Visibility32:00 Towards a Side B Covenant33:28 Gender and Queer Culture35:24 Unity and Accountability40:57 Why Statements Matter42:56 Side B as Liberatory Gift44:45 Theology Group Takeaways51:44 Closing and Next Topics55:14 Listener Feedback and Farewell Get full access to New Kinship at newkinship.substack.com/subscribe

Xbox may have just signaled the future of its next generation hardware. At GDC this week Microsoft confirmed Project Helix, a next-generation Xbox initiative built around a custom AMD chip and designed to support both console and PC gaming. But what exactly is Helix — a traditional console successor or something closer to a living-room gaming PC? This week on Xbox Expansion Pass, Luke Lohr (InsipidGhost) and Captain Logun break down everything currently confirmed about Project Helix and what it could mean for the future of the Xbox ecosystem. We also analyze the early player numbers behind Bungie's Marathon, including Steam concurrency and early ownership estimates, and discuss whether the launch trajectory raises questions for Sony's live-service strategy. Plus, Epic Games is changing Fortnite's V-Bucks economy, meaning players will soon receive fewer V-Bucks for the same money. Additional topics include Xbox Gaming Copilot coming to consoles, a major milestone for Silent Hill 2 Remake, and several notable announcements coming out of GDC 2026.
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 148 A critical theory can be made out of anything. You can have a Critical Race Theory about race, a Critical Gender Theory about sex, even a Critical America Theory about America. And, we have all of these. In universities, Critical America Theory is usually branded as "American Studies," but we have it everywhere. It's not just in schools but in media, entertainment, law, and everything else. It also doesn't just appear in left-wing ways like Howard Zinn's infamous People's History of the United States or Nikole Hannah-Jones's crappy "1619 Project." It comes at us in right-wing forms as well, most visibly from Tucker Carlson. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains the idea of Critical America Theory and how we encounter it today across the political spectrum, including its funding and support by George Soros and his foundations. Join him to understand this wicked attack on America. Latest from New Discourses Press!
