The Biden administration took office with ambitious plans to accelerate America's clean energy transition. Over four years, it enacted major climate legislation, poured billions into new clean energy manufacturing, built partnerships with global allies on clean energy, and navigated a global energy crisis after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. With President Trump's return to office, what happens now? The clean energy transition is proving to be more complex than some expected, with challenges around affordability, security, and balancing climate goals with other economic priorities. In this increasingly challenging geopolitical landscape, how should we think about America's energy policy going forward? And how should we think about the legacy of the Biden administration's energy agenda? This week host Jason Bordoff talks with David Turk about the Biden administration's energy policy legacy and the challenges of balancing affordability, security, and climate goals. David is a distinguished visiting fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA. He recently completed his service as deputy secretary of energy in the Biden administration, where he was the number-two official and chief operating officer at the Department of Energy. Prior to this role, David served as deputy executive director of the International Energy Agency. During the Obama administration, he worked at the Department of Energy, where he led the launch of Mission Innovation – a global effort to accelerate clean energy innovation. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless. Produced by Erin Hardick, Mary Catherine O'Connor, Caroline Pitman, and Kyu Lee. Engineering by Sean Marquand. Stephen Lacey is executive producer.

Taiwanese-Language Cinema: Rediscovered and Reconsidered (Edinburgh UP, 2024), edited by Chris Berry, Wafa Ghermani, Corrado Neri, and Ming-yeh T. Rawnsley, is a landmark contribution to studying Taiwanese cinema. The book revisits Taiyupian, a thriving yet overlooked segment of Taiwan's cinematic history produced between the 1950s and 1970s in the Minnanhua dialect commonly used by the local Hoklo. This volume arrives at a pivotal moment when many of these films are being restored, subtitled, and critically revisited. By bringing together essays from Taiwanese and non-Taiwanese scholars, the book offers a robust framework for understanding Taiyupian's cultural, social, and industrial dimensions. It challenges the traditional dominance of Mandarin and Japanese influences in Taiwan's cinematic narrative, advocating for a broader, more inclusive history. The editors skilfully blend historical analysis with cultural theory, offering insights into the socio-political context that gave rise to these films and their eventual decline. The inclusion of translated Taiwanese scholarship is particularly commendable, as it ensures a dialogue between local and global perspectives. Reading this book is an eye-opening experience, especially for those unfamiliar with Taiyupian's rich legacy. The book effectively positions these films not as relics but as dynamic cultural artefacts that continue to shape Taiwan's cinematic and cultural identity. The writing, while scholarly, is engaging, particularly in chapters that explore Taiyupian's aesthetic and emotional resonance. The visuals and archival materials referenced throughout enhance its value as a resource for both academic and personal exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in Taiwanese cinema, East Asian cultural studies, or the intersection of language and identity in film. Its insights resonate far beyond the specific era it examines, offering a model for how neglected histories can be rediscovered and celebrated. Dr Ming-Yeh Tsai Rawnsley is a Taiwanese media scholar, writer, and former journalist and TV screenwriter. Since 2013, she has been a Research Associate at the Centre of Taiwan Studies, SOAS University of London. She is also a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the China Policy Institute, University of Nottingham (2014–present), a Research Fellow at the European Research Centre on Contemporary Taiwan (ERCCT), University of Tübingen (2015–present), and Research Associate at Academia Sinica, Taiwan (2018–present).

Taiwanese-Language Cinema: Rediscovered and Reconsidered (Edinburgh UP, 2024), edited by Chris Berry, Wafa Ghermani, Corrado Neri, and Ming-yeh T. Rawnsley, is a landmark contribution to studying Taiwanese cinema. The book revisits Taiyupian, a thriving yet overlooked segment of Taiwan's cinematic history produced between the 1950s and 1970s in the Minnanhua dialect commonly used by the local Hoklo. This volume arrives at a pivotal moment when many of these films are being restored, subtitled, and critically revisited. By bringing together essays from Taiwanese and non-Taiwanese scholars, the book offers a robust framework for understanding Taiyupian's cultural, social, and industrial dimensions. It challenges the traditional dominance of Mandarin and Japanese influences in Taiwan's cinematic narrative, advocating for a broader, more inclusive history. The editors skilfully blend historical analysis with cultural theory, offering insights into the socio-political context that gave rise to these films and their eventual decline. The inclusion of translated Taiwanese scholarship is particularly commendable, as it ensures a dialogue between local and global perspectives. Reading this book is an eye-opening experience, especially for those unfamiliar with Taiyupian's rich legacy. The book effectively positions these films not as relics but as dynamic cultural artefacts that continue to shape Taiwan's cinematic and cultural identity. The writing, while scholarly, is engaging, particularly in chapters that explore Taiyupian's aesthetic and emotional resonance. The visuals and archival materials referenced throughout enhance its value as a resource for both academic and personal exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in Taiwanese cinema, East Asian cultural studies, or the intersection of language and identity in film.

A stop-go system is to be trialed in a North Clare village to alleviate traffic issues associated with a bridge no longer deemed to be fit for purpose. Corofin Fianna Fáil Councillor Joe Killeen has proposed the system in his native village as a means of improving road safety at the narrow bridge connecting Main Street to the Ennis Road. Responding to the motion, the West Clare Municipal District has conceded that the traffic system at the bridge needs to be "reconsidered and upgraded", and says they'll look to advance the proposal in 2025. Councillor Killeen says it's high time such a system was introduced as the bridge simply can't accommodate two vehicles at a time.
November 26, 1970. In Plymouth, Massachusetts, on the 350th anniversary of the Pilgrims' arrival, protestors gather under a statue of Massasoit, the Wampanoag leader who had made peace with the Pilgrims, and partook in the legendary Thanksgiving meal. This protest was organized by Wamsutta Frank James, a Wampanoag activist who wanted to draw attention to the full story of Thanksgiving – a story of fear, violence, and oppression that spanned generations. America's reckoning with the truth of Thanksgiving, James argued, would empower indigenous people to fight for their equal rights. This protest – a National Day of Mourning – continues to this day, now led by James's granddaughter. So what is the true story of Thanksgiving? And why is it so important for us to remember? Special thanks to Kisha James, Paula Peters, and David Silverman, author of This Land Is Their Land: The Wampanoag Indians, Plymouth Colony, and the Troubled History of Thanksgiving.

In 1632, the University Library at Cambridge was transformed by the arrival of an extraordinary collection of manuscripts in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Hebrew, and Malay. They were collected by an early Dutch orientalist, Thomas Van Erpe, better known by his Latinized name Erpinius. To mark the four hundredth anniversary of his death in 1624, Cambridge University Library has mounted a major exhibition of Erpinius's manuscript. For a brief tour of the exhibition, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kCe865F7Ek Even today, the collection continues to teach researchers important new insights into not only the Islamic past, but also into the origins of European orientalism. In this episode, we trace the background of Erpinius's interest in Islam, before following his career as a linguist and manuscript collector that took him from his native Holland to the university cities of Europe, then Venice, before being appointed Professor of Arabic at Leiden University in 1613. Together with his writings and manuscript collection, this made him a key—but altogether complex—founder of orientalism. Nile Green talks to Majid Daneshgar, the curator of the exhibition at Cambridge and the author of Studying the Quran in the Muslim Academy (Oxford, 2020).
We keep trucking along with our series reconsidering the fundamental pillars and principles of Catholic Social Teaching, the same first run of shows we started with when we began the UnCommon Good on Iowa Catholic Radio 8 years ago. Today we deal with the Dignity of Persons, and how that plays into things like the Imago Dei, Human Rights, and how the primacy of the human person alters how we consider any other social question. Iowa Catholic Radio Network Shows: - Be Not Afraid with Fr. PJ McManus - Catholic Women Now with Chris Magruder and Julie Nelson - Faith of Trial with Deacon Mike Manno and Gina Noll - Making It Personal with Bishop William Joensen - Man Up! with Joe Stopulus - The Catholic Morning Show - The Uncommon Good with Bo Bonner and Dr. Bud Marr - Faith and Family Finance with Gregory Waddle
We are keeping it going with the reconsideration of our first run of shows on Catholic Social Principles we started out the show with 8 years ago. Today we talk about Marriage and Family life not simply as "lifestyle" choices, but as Social Goods with obligations for the society as a whole toward them.

We keep rolling along with our Reconsideration of the first series of shows we started with 8 years ago when the UnCommon Good began! Today we explore the Preferential Option for the Poor, hopefully dispel the flat or of base understandings of the concept, and try to shine a light on the brilliance of this distinct principle in the consideration of Catholic Social Principles.

Keepin' on keepin' on with our 8 year anniversary rewind, review, and renewal episodes about foundational Catholic Social Teaching Principles, we consider the twin giants of Solidarity and Subsidiarity on this episode. 8 years ago we focused on what we saw as shallow interpretations of these ideas, but this time we really focus in on how they are too often seen as opposites or at least something to hold in tension, rather than intimately related, and indeed best seen as subsidiarity being the "Catholic way to do Solidarity."

We move right along with our reconsideration of the foundations of Catholic Social Teaching we started of the show with 8 years ago, this time diving into the concept of Justice, and what it means to give each person what they are owed. We talk about the three types of Justice, Justice and Mercy, and how this principle provides the bedrock to many other considerations. Iowa Catholic Radio Network Shows: - Be Not Afraid with Fr.
