From book bans to uproar over critical race theory, American classrooms have been on the front lines of the culture war. And there's one state that's leading the charge. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis has championed several laws affecting education, from prohibitions on classroom instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity to blocks on funding for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives at state colleges. He's also targeted one the state's most liberal and academically rigorous institutions: New College of Florida. In January, DeSantis' chief of staff told National Review, “It is our hope that New College of Florida will become Florida's classical college, more along the lines of a Hillsdale of the South.” The comment sparked widespread controversy because Hillsdale College is a private Christian school in Michigan, and New College is the state's public honors college. That same month, DeSantis appointed multiple new trustees to the board, who began seizing control of New College almost immediately. In their first meeting, trustees ousted the college's president and legal counsel and selected a new board chair, a DeSantis appointee. And they set in motion a plan to terminate the school's diversity officer. Since then, a pitched battle has been playing out, with DeSantis and his appointees on one side and students and faculty on the other. In this episode of Reveal, we partner with freelance reporter and filmmaker Sam Greenspan, who is a graduate of New College, to examine the changes taking place there. Greenspan follows journalists at the Catalyst, the student newspaper, as they cover the rapid-fire changes that are throwing the future of the college into uncertainty.  To close the show, host Al Letson interviews Democratic Florida Rep. Angie Nixon about her opposition to many of the governor's recent policies and the effects she thinks they'll have on students and educators in the state.

In 2012 California shut down the San Onofre nuclear power plant after decades of anti-nuclear activism, leaving the state with only one remaining nuclear plant. This meant that California started producing more of its energy by burning fossil fuels. So was the closing of San Onofre a victory or a tragedy for the environment? The answer to this question hinges on another: how much danger is society willing to accept to fight climate change? In this episode of VICE News reports, VICE News correspondent Keegan Hamilton visits San Onofre and meets one of the people helping to tear the plant down—a nuclear engineer who previously helped diffuse North America's worst nuclear accident. Keegan also talks to an MIT professor who says that the Russian army's weaponization of nuclear plants in Ukraine proves that nuclear power is too dangerous.Special thanks to Sarah Svboda, Ben Bishop, Lou Baldanza, and Amanda Mccormick.This episode was produced by Jesse Alejandro Cottrell.

Last Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris agreed to a sit down interview with VICE News chief political correspondent Liz Landers. But the day before they met, Republican Govs. Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida sent a busload of migrants to VP Harris' house and Martha's Vineyard. ‘There were children, people being put on a bus or a plane who don't know where they're going or where they were being sent,' said Harris. This week, VP Harris responds to the Republicans latest ‘political stunt' and gives insight into what the Democrats are strategizing for in the upcoming election.

Last year, VICE News Correspondent Isobel Yeung went undercover to understand how international business deals were being brokered in Guyana. This small country in South America has one of the fastest growing economies in the world right now. Newly discovered natural resources have attracted a lot of foreign investment from China and the U.S., placing Guyana in the middle of a tug-of war for soft power in the region. Recently, infrastructure contracts - roads, bridges, and a hydroelectric power plant - have been awarded to Chinese companies. In this episode of VICE News Reports, Yeung digs into how business is done in Guyana and uncovers allegations of corruption that reach far into the country's highest levels.

Moors in America believe that they – and many Black Americans – are descendents of the Moroccan Empire, which they claim once extended all the way from North Africa to North America. This would make Moors indigenous to an America that far predates the United States.But beyond that shared credence, the movement is scattered. Some seek only to practice spiritual beliefs while others maintain that being a Moor means U.S. laws do not apply to them. A few even use their identity as Moors to justify violence, theft, and fraud. Vice News' correspondent Alzo Slade takes us inside the different facets of the Moorish movement, to try and understand the alternate history they believe in, and why the current social and political landscape is making Moorish nationalism more appealing.This episode was produced by Jen Kinney and Sam Greenspan.

After Roe v. Wade was overturned, many wondered what living in a post-Roe America would look like. But for a lot of Native people, Roe has never been a reality. Though the federal government is obligated to provide tribes with healthcare, decades-old restrictions on federal funding have severely limited the provision of abortion. Organizations like Indigenous Women Rising have been advocating for reproductive rights and abortion in Native communities for years. VICE News Reports' Adreanna Rodriguez takes a dive deep into how IWR is filling the gap left by the government's long history of manipulating Native people's reproductive well being… and how Native people have specific needs when it comes to reproductive justice. Needs that are deeply holistic and embedded in their cultural history.VICE News Reports is produced by Sophie Kazis , Jen Kinney, and Adriana Tapia.

On Wednesday morning, Sri Lanka's President Gotabaya Rajapaksa fled the country. This came after months of protesters filling the streets with chants and tents, ending in a storming of the Presidential residence over the weekend. The protests are a direct result of the economic crisis that Sri Lanka has been experiencing — but who are the Rajapaksas, and why are they being blamed for this crisis?

At the beginning of May, musical artists Young Thug and Gunna along with 26 others were arrested and indicted in Atlanta, Georgia. The core of the indictment accuses them of violating the state's RICO act and alleges that Young Thug's label, Young Stoner Life Records, is actually a cover for an Atlanta street gang.

Earlier this year, a sharp spike in killings of Mexican journalists captured headlines worldwide. One of those killed was Margarito Martinez — a longtime photojournalist who was murdered in his hometown, Tijuana.

In the aftermath of the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, some are calling for stronger gun control laws, while others are calling for more guns on campus. So for the next week, we bring you a three-part-series from our archives that delves into what having more guns on school campuses looks like.ARMED PART 3: The Guardians – After the mass shooting at Parkland, a new law required that every school in the state of Florida had to have someone armed on campus at all times. The cheapest way to fill that requirement? For schools to let their teachers or other staff carry a gun. We take you to two schools — one that embraces arming staff as the only solution, and one that resists arming staff, only to find themselves boxed into a corner. Reported and produced by Jen Kinney.

In Part 2 of the Inclusion and Worker Well-Being in the Trades series, we interview Tiffany Thompson, Director of Workforce Equity and Technical Assistance of Oregon Tradeswomen and Dr. Maura Kelly an Associate Professor of Sociology at Portland State University.  Both Tiffany and Maura support, engage and help workplaces gain tools and provide education for respectful workplace programs. They provide program support and research opportunities to help build capacity, such as investing resources and time to contribute to cultural shifts needed on trade job sites. Tiffany started her career working with survivors of interpersonal violence where she also provided training for service providers on how to work with individuals who have experienced trauma. In 2013, Tiffany first began working at Oregon Tradeswomen and saw the overlap between her previous work and the experiences of tradeswomen in the field. Since then, she has been working diligently, within and outside of construction, to bring about culture change to ensure that no one experiences the trauma that can come from harassment, bullying, hazing, and any type of interpersonal violence. Dr. Maura Kelly is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Portland State University. She researches inequalities in the construction trades and advocates to increase opportunities for women and people of color. Dr. Kelly's evaluation research has assessed a variety of programs intended to increase the recruitment and retention of diverse workers in the trades, including the ODOT/BOLI Highway Construction Workforce Development Program, Green Dot for the Trades, the City of Seattle Acceptable Work Sites training, Mentorship Matters, as well as the Oregon Tradeswomen and Constructing Hope pre-apprenticeship programs.

In the wake of the Ukrainian War, a private military company called the Wagner group has come into the spotlight. A wave of early reporting alleged that Wagner contractors were part of a hit squad tasked with taking out President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. But Wagner, which has close ties to Vladmir Putin and his allies, has been covertly spreading Russian influence by serving in proxy wars for years now. VICE News' Julia Steers takes us inside the notorious private military company that technically doesn't even exist as she gained unprecedented access to Wagner's leaders in their most successful mission to date, the Central African Republic.

Eleven year-old Kai Shappley has had a tough time just being a kid. Her whole life, the state of Texas, where she lives, has been policing what bathrooms she can use, what name she can go by—and a myriad of other basic personal freedoms afforded to kids who are not transgender, like Kai. Last April, a new directive from Texas Governor Greg Abbott asserts that gender-affirming care provided to minors is tantamount to child abuse. And now Kai—and countless other trans kids in Texas—is in danger of being taken from her family. For the past six years, VICE News correspondent Gianna Toboni has been spending time in Texas with Kai and her mother, Kimberly Shappley, documenting the family as they weave in and out of the state's crosshairs.

Today, he is a self taught explosives expert taking shelter in a safe house with other pro-democracy dissidents and resistance fighters.

Twenty-five year old Arkeuntrez Washington was recently released from federal prison for arms trafficking. His re-entry comes with a lot of supervision including tracking his activity online, in part because when he was arrested, authorities found evidence that he wrote a letter to an imprisoned 9/11 plotter. VICE News' Keegan Hamilton spends time with Washington, to figure out how he fits into the bigger picture of extremism and deradicalization, trying to answer the questions: What should happen to you if you're fascinated by terrorists, curious about them to the point that you even reach out to them, but have never commited a single act of terror? And what's the appropriate punishment for that and how do we decide what happens after?This episode was reported by Keegan Hamilton. It was produced by Sayre Quevedo and edited by Adizah Eghan.

The QAnon conspiracy theory has long been fixated on certain dates, most recently on the anniversary of President John F Kennedy's assination. In November, hundreds of followers of a QAnon offshoot movement traveled to the fateful grassy knoll in downtown Dallas to witness one man's prediction: the return of the assassinated president. VICE News reporter David Gilbert brings us behind the “JFK cult” headlines and into the lives of those who have been swept up by the movement, including those still in Dallas awaiting JFK.

E-commerce clothing hub Shein is now one of the world's biggest fashion companies, beating out Amazon as the most popular shopping app. Connecting Chinese clothing manufacturers directly to shoppers on the other side of the globe, Shein has nearly single handedly invented “ultra-fast” fashion.

Among the thousands of people who participated in the riots at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 2021 was Pastor Hyung Jin “Sean” Moon and some of his followers: members of the Rod of Iron Ministries. It's a fringe church that worships guns, believes Jesus was an assault weapons manufacturer, and loves former president Donald Trump.

Once considered a sideshow, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is now one of the world's most popular sporting organizations. Today, the UFC rakes in hundreds of millions yearly and hosts events at some of the largest venues in the world. But former and current fighters allege they have been vastly underpaid for years, held to predatory contracts, and trapped in a monopoly controlled by the UFC. A labor battle is now brewing in one of the least likely arenas.This episode was reported and produced by Sam Eagan and Adizah Eghan.

One of the most popular shows in China was, Word of Honor, a supernatural martial arts epic that most fans watched not for the fighting, but for the heavily implied, homoerotic relationship between the two young, male leads. This is a boys' love drama, a genre that has swept East Asia and managed to flourish even under China's strict censorship against LGBT content. Somehow, for years, boys' love skirted the censors. But then, Word of Honor disappeared off the Chinese internet.Reporter Viola Zhou takes us inside the often fantastic, super-romantic world of boy's love dramas, and the political and cultural crackdown that's threatening their existence.This episode was reported by Viola Zhou and Koh Ewe.

Maybe I'm more tired than I realized. The episode that was supposed to run today, Grandparent Advice with Sam Greenspan and Renée Wolf McKible, I accidentally launched on Saturday. Whoops! So, what should have been today's episode is already in your feed. Don't miss it! It's part 1 of an ongoing series I'm really excited about featuring your grandparents best advice. But as long as I've got you here, I want to ask, what advice from this show have you actually integrated into your life? We're over 150 episodes in and I want to start reflecting on some of the stickiest advice you've heard on the show. Let me know by calling the hotline at 844-935-BEST or by writing me at Z A K at bestadvice.show. You can also respond to the instagram video I posted in the comment section. I'm so excited to hear what's stuck with you this year. I'm thinking I'll collect your greatest hits into a week or two of shows at the end of the year. Thanks!

Sam Greenspan is the creator and host of BELLWETHER, a podcast of speculative journalism and TALKGROUP, a radio zine about the lockdown & the uprising. SEND ME YOUR GRANDPARENTS' ADVICE @ 844-935-BEST! TRANSCRIPT: ZAK: I mentioned my late grandpa's disdain for sticky fingers in a recent episode and it got me thinking him and his most reliable piece of advice. It was to - when you're meeting someone - always shake their hand firmly and look them in the eye. The fact that handshakes are now frowned upon would have been really hard for him to take. I want to hear about the advice your grandparents passed on to you and I think it would make for a cool recurring series on the show. Maybe we'll "Grandpar-rants", like rants from your grandparents? Maybe not the best name. I'm open to your ideas, though. Regardless, what advice from your grandparents sticks with you? Lemme know at 844 935 BEST. We're gonna kick off the series today with Sam Greenspan, talking about his grandma.  SAM: She was a real badass, feminist, woman. I remember she always had a needle-point pillow on her couch that said, "A woman's place is in the house and the senate." And the only piece of advice I ever heard her give was, be polite and do whatever the hell you want. And that is what's on her gravestone in South Florida. Yeah, Renee Wolf McKible. Be polite and do whatever the hell you want. ZAK: Renne Wold McKible, thank you for that. I love it!

This was supposed to be an episode about how to apply for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the centerpiece of the CARES Act. But just hours before recording, the PPP ran out of money—meaning anyone who hasn't already applied won't be able to until Congress allocates more money for it. The Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) has also been greatly reduced in scope. But there's still plenty to learn and lots to plan. The Money Witch and producer Sam Greenspan walk through how the CARES Act was supposed to work, how it fell apart, what to expect next—and how to prepare for it.

Sonic solidarity from a Von's parking lot.   ---------- TRANSCRIPT ---------- Nick and Becca didn’t want to pick me up because Becca was going to visit her friends who have kids the next day and she wanted to practice good social distancing. Taking separate cars struck me as weird at first, but then, like so many things, quickly felt reasonable, and then normal. So instead Nick and Becca idled on the corner. I put my dog Neon in shotgun, and then turned the ignition, flashed the brights at Nick and Becca and then pulled a u-ey in front of them. And then, in our separate cars, we caravanned onto Sunset Boulevard The drive was only half a mile to Echo Park, to the Vons supermarket—or, more specifically, the Vons parking lot. It was after 9pm—and the Vons was closed for the night. All of the panicked shoppers had gone home. But the lot was still full. It took a minute for our two cars to find two adjacent spots, and we parked like cops, Nick and Becca facing in, me facing out, our driver side windows aligned. Nick told me the station: 99.1 FM. [BROADCAST] "You are listening to 99.1 FM KZUT Los Angeles California, That’s right. Dublab." They called it a “drive-in concert.” Four musicians, who were supposed to have had a show that night at Zebulon, had come out to the Vons with an FM transmitter. Anyone who drove into the broadcast radius could attend the concert without needing to leave their car and risk communicating the virus. Here we are, all together, maintaining our social distance. This is an experiment, us figuring out how to do this broadcast for the first time, in a van, in a parking lot, in a city, on the earth. OK, Celia, let’s level you in. [Music.] And so the show-goers, people like us who wanted some form of social contact amidst the first 48 hours of COVID-19 lockdown—we had all turned up to tune in. All of us in our cars, dialed to the same frequency, listening separately, together. Social distancing. Distance socializing. [BROADCAST] "That was Celia Hollander. [Cars honk their horns.] Oh God! Oh my god! Shhhh! We don’t want to get kicked out! We just had a little interaction with Von’s security...and everything’s OK. Refrain from honking even though it’s much appreciated it. And we just want to thank everyone for coming out, staying in their cars, being respectful generally, and we’re excited to see…[fades out]." People generally obeyed the order to stop honking, but I did see folks getting out of their cars and gathering over by the origination point. It wasn’t hard to spot: a white van, only a hundred yards away from where I had parked. The interior lights were on, and you could make the out figure of the musicians as they played their sets. Eventually I said fuck it and headed over, too, with Neon the dog under my arm. I didn’t know anyone but I recognized people from around. There were those two women I met at that weird art show featuring a VR exhibition about the end of the world. There was the waitress I always see at the Brite Spot diner. We exchanged elbow bumps, and clicked shoes. Almost everyone there, gathered by the transmitter van had also brought a dog. In this new moment, we weren’t sure whether we were allowed to pet each others’ pups, if we could allow them to sniff each others’ butts. We all made idle chat about the end of civilization, stood around the parking lot, and listened. [Music.] It’s lovely, hearing about Italians singing to each other from their balconies—but there is also something so beautiful, so very goddamn American about all us rallied together in our cars, in a supermarket parking lot after dark, all tuning in to the same frequency. It is the communal dystopian moment of my teenage dreams. I spent a lot of my youth like this, hanging out in parking lots after hours, fingers crossed for the benevolence of the on-duty security guard. Speaking at length—about our hypotheses for how the world would end. Though I don’t think I or any of my friends ever saw it quite unfolding this way. But then again, no one ever expects a Spanish Inquisition . [BROADCAST] "Whoa. Booker Stardrum everyone. That was the end of the performance so maybe you’re allowed to honk I guess, hahaha. [Car horns honk.] Hahahahaha! Thank you again to everyone to coming out tonight, it’s really a dream. Thank you so much, everyone drive home safe, til next time, thank you everybody." The show was over. I said goodbye to my new friends, human and canine. I started back to my car, Neon trailing me. Would this happen again? Would we look back on this drive in concert as the beginning of a beautiful tradition? Or the last gasp of connectivity before everything got worse? Like everything else, it seems, the answers to these questions will be revealed slowly. What did feel certain in that moment, though, was how proud I felt of us, as humans, of finding each other here, in a parking lot, through the radio, amidst global calamity. I felt proud of us as humans for inventing things like music, for inventing samplers, and sequencers, musical scales. For learning to encode their sounds into frequency modulation. When I woke up hyperventilating two days later, this is what brought me out of it. This moment in the Vons Parking Lot. This moment that tells us that we still have each other. We still have the asphalt. We still have the night time. We all still have the radio. credits from TALKGROUP, released March 25, 2020 TALKGROUP is lead by Sam Greenspan, and comprises Jacki Huntington, Mo Laborde, and you.

Hello. We are here. This is now. We are us.  Welcome to TALKGROUP—dispatches on our current predicament, from Sam Greenspan.     ---------- TRANSCRIPT Hello. We are here. This is now. We are us.  According to the Radio Reference Wiki, a “Talkgroup” refers to virtual radio channels created for/by a Trunked Radio System, which itself is a specialized repeater system allowing for channelized, semi-private conversations via radio frequency.  It is, this wiki continues, an example of statistical multiplexing. But for our purposes, we can say that a talkgroup is band of municipal radio frequencies that are completely unknown and inaudible to the public at large—but are an indispensable form of communication for the people who make society function. I first learned of the word, talkgroup—and it is one word, and not two—I first learned the word “talkgroup” on a train platform in Oakland, California, where I used to live. There was a bright blue sign at the edge of the platform. It had probably been there forever, but somehow I had never seen it. It said, “Entering the K Talkgroup.” After noticing the first one, suddenly those blue signs leapt out at me every time I took the train. Entering the M Talkgroup. Entering the C Talkgroup. And so on.  These signs, I learned, are there to tell conductors what frequencies to tune to to communicate with the other trains.  I love this. I love the idea that all around us, flying through the air, are conversations about how to keep the world running, all happening on secret communication channels. Or, not secret exactly, because they are open to anyone who has the wherewithal to listen in.  My name is Sam Greenspan. I’ve been making radio almost half my life. If you know my work, you might know that I’ve spent the past three years creating a podcast of speculative journalism called Bellwether. Bellwether is coming—this is not that.  What this is—what this Talkgroup is—it’s my secret frequency for getting out dispatches that I don’t think can wait. And if you see yourself as part of the same network, if you believe you also have a role to play in keeping this train running—then listen in. And talk back.     And so, hello. We are here. This is now. We are us. Welcome to the Talkgroup. See you at the next station.

For the first time in human history, a self-driving car killed a pedestrian. But who’s really at fault? If the person behind the wheel takes the fall, suddenly we are living in a world where one can go to jail for the crimes of an AI. This non-fiction story is told within the frame of a sci-fi radio serial, in which we meet Cass and Icarus, who discover this reportage in the future.  This is episode 01 of BELLWETHER, a podcast of speculative journalism from Sam Greenspan.

A student once asked me “How do you find the stories you feature on HowSound?” I’m asked that a lot, actually. And, I’m sorry to say, I don’t have any secrets to reveal. I probably find stories and podcasts the same way everyone else does. Here’s my very quick and cursory list. * I listen to the radio. A lot. * I ask people “What are you listening to that was really interesting? Or that pissed you off?” * I pick the brains of my students. They often get out their phones and rifle through what they subscribe to. * I’m always scouring newsletters and emails on radio listserves I belong to: a. The list for the Association of Independents in Radio b. The Transom Story Workshop Alumni listserve c. The list for the Sonic Soiree, a local listening group in Boston (I bet there’s a group near you). d. The newsletter from the Bello Collective e. The newsletter from Hot Pod f. Sam Greenspan’s occasional newsletter YSLTF: You Should Listen to Fridays. * I’m a member of a couple of Facebook groups: a. The Podcasters Support Group b. The BEA Teaching Audio Production Group * I subscribe to podcasts that feature work from a lot of different producers: a. Short Cuts from the BBC b. Unfictional from KCRW c. The BBC’s Between the Ears podcast * I search for subject matter I’m personally interested in. For instance, I might search for “Arctic” and “podcasts.” Or, “podcasts on the environment.” I’m sure I’ve left something out. (What would you add?) Perhaps the short answer is: my ear radar is always on; I’m constantly on the hunt. I should mention, too, that as I’m listening, I look for a way into the story for a HowSound episode. Is there a “teachable moment” in the piece? Did the producer do something unusual and notable? Do I find myself wondering “How the heck did they do that?!” Sometimes it’s just a matter of being satisfied by the story or a production technique. That’s what this episode of HowSound is about. On a recent road trip, I listened to several hours of stories and made a mental list of segments from those stories that caught attention, that I found satisfying. This is a different way of producing HowSound. Typically, I find one story and interview the producer. But, today, I feature a slew of clips that caught my ear and I offer some thoughts about what worked and what didn’t. Stories from Earshot, The City, and Sound Africa. If you get a chance, let me know if this episode worked for you. And, tell me what I should be listening to next.

Sometimes you have to keep your head down to stay alive. This is a show about playing the cello in the darkest hour, and returning to the site of the fire, and keeping your head down to stay alive. This is a show about what happens when the sun goes down, and when you get lost in the mall, and when you pick up the phone because you have nowhere left to turn. This is a show about the terrible and the beautiful. This is a show about survival. Producers: Jett Hayward, Bella Lazzareschi, Elisabeth Dee, Stephanie Niu, Cathy Wong, Dylan Cunningham, Hannah Nguyen, Jackson Roach, Melina Walling, Alec Glassford, Christy Hartman, Jake Warga, Sam Greenspan, and Jonah Willinghanz.

Chris Noessel and Nathan Shedroff also discuss the real-world lessons that designers should take from science fiction, and they come up with an intriguing theory as to why some of the most risible sci-fi user interfaces may not be so absurd. http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/future-screens-are-mostly-blue/Learn more about your ad choices.
