​Vietnam Veteran and Catholic priest Fr. Philip Salois joins us with his biographers, Julien Ayotte and Paul F. Caranci, to talk about his experiences during the Vietnam War and his subsequent commitment to spiritual healing, a story told in In the Shadows of Vietnam: The Gallant Life of Fr. Philip Salois. Salois grew up in a devout Catholic family, which laid the foundation for his deep-rooted faith. In March 1969, he was drafted into the U.S. Army, leading to his deployment to Vietnam in September of the same year. Assigned to the 199th Light Infantry Brigade, Salois faced the harsh realities of jungle warfare, a stark contrast to his previous life in Rhode Island. On February 28, 1970, Salois's platoon was tasked with locating and neutralizing the 133rd North Vietnamese Army Battalion near the village of Suoi Kiet. The following day, they inadvertently walked into a horseshoe-shaped ambush.Six soldiers were trapped behind enemy lines, their survival hinging on immediate rescue. Demonstrating extraordinary courage, Salois and fellow soldier Herb Klug volunteered to rescue their comrades. Before venturing into the line of fire, Salois prayed, making a solemn promise to God: if he emerged unscathed, he would dedicate his life to divine service. Their brave actions led to the rescue of four soldiers; tragically, Klug was killed during the mission. For his valor, Salois was awarded the Silver Star. After returning from Vietnam, Salois grappled with the haunting memories of war. In 1974, while attending a Catholic seminary in California, he recalled the promise he had made during the ambush. This realization propelled him toward priesthood, leading to his ordination as Father Philip Salois in 1984. ​Advocate for Veterans Father Salois dedicated his priesthood to supporting veterans, particularly those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). His firsthand combat experience allowed him to connect deeply with their struggles. As the Chief of Chaplains in the Boston VA Healthcare System, he provided spiritual guidance and organized retreats and conferences nationwide, offering solace and understanding to countless veterans. ​ Father Salois's journey from a soldier in the jungles of Vietnam to a priest devoted to healing the invisible wounds of war exemplifies resilience and compassion. His life serves as a testament to the enduring impact of faith and the profound difference one individual can make in the lives of others.​ We're grateful to UPMC for Life and Tobacco Free Adagio Health for sponsoring this event!

Ep. 59: Daniel Salois: Counselor Education and Supervision (Ph.D.) by University of Montana Graduate School

Father Phil Salois, served in Vietnam with the 199th Light Infantry Brigade, 7th Infantry Regiment. In his first months there, he saw his fair share of combat. His unit spent a lot of time trudging along the rice paddies, looking for an elusive enemy who chose when and where to encounter his American adversaries. After a fraught time in the country and earning the US Silver Star, Father Phil came back to the different United States. With his perennial faith unshaken, Phil became a Catholic priest and a spiritual advisor to his fellow veterans. Suffering from PTSD himself, he's worked tirelessly to help not only Vietnam veterans but also those affected by recent conflicts, such as Iraq and Afghanistan.

In this episode, returning guest, Gretchen Pineo and I discuss satire in Jonathan Swift's 1729 essay, "A Modest Proposal." We draw parallels between the delivery of the serious message through the guise of satire in both Swift's work and John Oliver's show Last Week Tonight. We also consider the absurdist aspects of A Modest Proposal as satire in print with the absurdist elements of articles found in The Onion. For this episode we utilized the Norton Anthology World Literature, Volume D, 4th edition.

The final project that I assigned this semester asked students to compare one of the works of literature we read in class to pop-culture from today and it gave students the options to present their research in one of three formats: a paper, a video, or a podcast episode. Five students who completed podcast episodes gave me their permission to share their work as part of a Why Do We Read This episode. This episode features English 2800 student Tenzing Palden and English 2850 students Anesa Feratovic and Nam Kim. Anesa's project was a comparison of Diary of a Madman by Lu Xun and the anime series Welcome to the NHK. Tenzing's podcast was about the Bhagavad-Gita and the The Lion King. And Nam covered parallels he saw between Lola Rodriguez de Tio's poem "Song of the Borinquen" and J. Cole's "High for Hours." Follow the podcast!

In this episode, my guest (and husband) Shawn P. Russell and I analyze another classic Charles Dickens Christmas story: The Cricket on the Hearth. We consider what makes a bad adaptation, and how the 1967 Rankin/Bass animated adaptation is just plain bad. We also compare Dickens third Christmas story with his first, A Christmas Carol and discuss why one story has become a timeless classic while the other is virtually unknown. We even broach the subject of Die Hard being a Christmas movie! We utilize the unabridged audio version of this novella narrated by Jim Dale and produced by Audible, Inc. Follow Shawn!

Dr. Rebecca L. Solois, of the Why Do We Read This? podcast, is our guest as we talk about the 1970 Ronald Neame film, Scrooge for our SPECIAL HOLIDAY EPISODE. We talk about why this 4 time Oscar nominated film resonates with Rebecca over any other adaptation of the Dickens classic, we cover some of the differences between the book and the film, and we talk about how the lessons of A Christmas Carol are still relevant today. We also talk about Leslie Bricusse, who created all the songs for this musical adaptation, and we touch on some other famous films he wrote music for. We finally talk about the legendary stars of the film, Albert Finney and Alec Guinness, who would become the iconic Daddy Warbucks of Annie and Obi-Won Kenobi from the original Star Wars trilogy respectively.

In this week's episode, my guest, Amy Schack and I discuss "Liberty or Death" by Haitian revolutionary and leader, Jean Jacques Dessalines. We draw parallels between this provocative proclamation and Public Enemy's classic song "Fight the Power" (both the 1989 original and the 2020 remix). We also consider connections between Dessalines's message and Sting song lyrics - taking special care to address the glaring difference of privilege in the latter's situation. For this episode we utilized the Norton Anthology World Literature, Volume E, 4th edition. Additional resources include: Lyrics by Sting.

In today's episode, Dr. Rebecca Salois delves deep into her book obsession and gives me a run down on her favorites. Cook books that are bean-centered? Latinx classic literature? Graphic novels?

This week's guest is my friend Gretchen Pineo, an architectural historian and fan of all things geeky. In this episode, we discuss some of the European imperialists' letters from the Americas back to their respective Kings. We consider how Science Fiction employs similar lessons on imperialism and colonialism in general, but specifically in the film Starship Troopers. And we draw parallels between the these letters with letters written by New England missionaries to Hawaii in the early nineteenth century, focusing on some of the motivations behind their letters and the reactions of the Hawaiian people who they were trying to convert.

Medusa is a Tunisian artist who emerged as an MC in Tunisia’s hip hop community around the time of the Arab Spring of the 2010s. Her career as an MC has followed an interesting path, as she often found herself in the role of “conscious MC”, being one of the few women in the Tunisian hip hop community and speaking out on important social issues. In this interview she talks about hip hop under the Arab Spring. While many talk about the role of artists in the Arab Spring, Medusa talks about the impacts of the Arab Spring on hip hop culture. She says the Arab Spring encouraged youth engagement, and that post revolution, many youth have moved into more commercial rap sounds. She has since moved to France, where she talks about her experience in the Parisian hip hop scene and her work with a new team of creatives. We met up with Medusa during a 2019 self-funded trip to the U.S. Medusa made to promote her work and establish contacts.  During her trip, she visited the class of American University professor and hip hop scholar, Dr. Kendra Salois. Our interview took place after her guest lecture in Dr. Salois’ class. Medusa is on Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, BandCamp, and SoundCloud. Continue reading
