In the American Revolution, the men who revolted were among the wealthiest and most comfortable people in the colonies. What kind of revolution was it, anyway? Was it about a desire to establish democracy—or something else? Episode 1 of Scene on Radio's Season 4 series, The Land That Never Has Been Yet, explores American democracy and the lack thereof.

On this episode, Ben Schachtman and Rachel Keith sit down with John Biewen and Michael Betts, writers and co-hosts of Echoes of a Coup — the sixth season of the Scene on Radio podcast from Duke University's Kenan Institute for Ethics. The five-part series takes a deep dive into Wilmington's 1898 coup and massacre.

“But one thing the whole “Karen” thing did, which I think was very good, was that it pointed out the existence of spaces Ostensibly open to everyone, but not, and then patrolled often by white women saying you don't belong here. And she got a name, and people with that name wince and rightfully so, but without that wince-worthy kind of situation, I don't think large numbers of Americans would realize that there really is a sort of silent apartheid in our public spaces.” So says Nell Irvin Painter, who Henry Louis Gates Jr. refers to as “one of the towering Black intellects of the last century.” I first heard Nell on Scene On Radio with John Biewen in his series “Seeing White,” and have been biding my time for an opportunity to interview her ever since. I got my chance, with her latest endeavor, an essay collection called I Just Keep Talking, which is a collection of her writing from the past several decades, about art, politics, and race along with many pieces of her own art. Now retired, Nell is a New York Times bestseller and was the Edwards Professor of American History Emerita at Princeton, where she published many, many books about the evolution of Black political thought and race as a concept. She's one of the preeminent scholars on the life of Sojourner Truth—and is working on another book about her right now—and is also the author of The History of White People. Today's conversation touches on everything from Sojourner Truth—and how she actually never said “Ain't I a Woman?”—to the capitalization of Black and White.  MORE FROM NELL IRVIN PAINTER: I Just Keep Talking: A Life in Essays The History of White People Old in Art School Nell's Website Follow Nell on Instagram Scene On Radio: “Seeing White” To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Scene on Radio is on an extended hiatus, but is on its way back. Host and producer John Biewen explains that the show has found a new home: the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University.

The American Revolution of 1776 may have been a revolt of the powerful rich, but the United States had a second chance at crafting a democracy after the Civil War. The second part of this podcast series revisits the Reconstruction era, where an unlikely coalition of leaders tried to make the U.S. into a true multiracial democracy. And it worked, for a while.

The American Revolution is often depicted as a struggle between the common man and the callous elite. Yet most of the famous American figures of the revolution were powerful landowners, with vast wealth and ownership over other human beings. A Duke University podcast from the Centre for Documentary Studies revisits how contested ideas of "democracy" reverberate in American politics today.

In this continuation of S3E7, Lexi and Marc continue their discussion about race and body image. This episode touches on topics of self-acceptance, self-judgment, and thanking past versions of ourselves for doing the best we could. ----- Resources from today's episode:

This is the first part of a series exploring Marc's experience as a Black man in America who is managing his mental health. Lexi & Marc begin by discussing the relationship between Black and white communities today and how to approach unlearning racism and having tough, uncomfortable conversations in order to grow. ----- Resources from today's episode:

Welcome to our third episode of Change Lab Presents Throughout this season, on alternating weeks, we’ll feature a handpicked episode from podcasts by, for or about the Black community. This week we’re excited to share an episode from Scene On Radio, produced by host John Biewen, in conversation with series collaborator Chenjerai Kumanyika. Scene on Radio is a Peabody-nominated podcast that dives deeply into issues central to American society. The show comes from the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University and is distributed by PRX.  Today’s episode features Myra Greene, who for years explored blackness through her photography, often in self-portraits.

What is happening to the soul of America? It’s a question the whole world is asking as Americans start voting in the most bizarre general election in their history. Yet regardless of who wins the 2020 Presidential race, it’s clear that something is going horribly wrong in the world’s oldest democracy. Tempting as it may be to blame America’s malaise exclusively on Donald Trump, to do so would be naive. Trumpism is a symptom of a disease that’s ravaged America’s body politic for generations. In this episode we meet the American author and political commentator, Jared Yates Sexton to discuss his new book "American Rule: How A Nation Conquered The World But Failed Its People". We explore the myth of American exceptionalism, and how white identity, evangelical Christianity, and conspiracy theories like QAnon are weaponised in American politics. SHOW NOTES If you’d like to do some further exploring of the themes that we cover in this episode, below are some links you may find helpful. The two books by Jared Yates Sexton that are mentioned in this episode are “The People Are Going To Rise Like Waters Upon Your Shore: A Story of American Rage”, which chronicles Jared’s experience of covering Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign in 2016. His most recent book, “American Rule: How a Nation Conquered the World But Failed It’s People” explores the myth of American exceptionalism, white identity, and evangelical Christianity as a powerful political tool. Reply All is a podcast about the internet, but in many ways it’s a show about making sense of modern life, and how to survive it! They’ve recently done two episodes dedicated to Q Anon: episode #165 (The Mold and the Beautiful) and episode #166 (Country of Liars) which explores who’s behind QAnon. Rabbit Hole is an 8-part podcast series produced by the NYT tech columnist, Kevin Roose. The show explores how the internet is affecting us and what can happen when we move our lives online. It doesn’t look exclusively at Q Anon per se but the wider digital environment, and how You Tube in particular has been directing people to extremist content for years. If you’d like to understand more about the Satanic panic of the 1980s, Gimlet Media has produced a brilliant podcast series called Conviction: American Panic. Conviction tells the story John Quinney who grew up in the 1980s and at the age of 10 falsely accused his own father of being the leader of an underground satanic cult that was sacrificing babies and sexually abusing children. What John’s family didn’t realise at the time was that right across America there were hundreds of families being swept up in this religious panic, and by the time it subsided scores of people were in jail on little to no evidence. It’s one of the most bizarre chapters in American judicial history, but it’s also very relevant to today’s satanic hysteria and the cult of QAnon. NPR’s regular podcast ‘Throughline’ explores stories from history that have a modern day resonance, and two recent episodes are particularly relevant to this episode; Conspiracy, which delves into how and why conspiracy theories are fundamental to American life, and how they’re so easily manipulated by political opportunists; and The Evangelical Vote which looks at what it means to be an evangelical Christian in America today and how evangelicals have become a powerful electoral bloc in US politics. Throughline has also just started a new series called “(mis)Representative Democracy” which unpacks some of the myths and popular assumptions about American democracy. The first episode tells the not-so-democratic history of how and why America’s Electoral College was created - the body that elects the President of the USA and which you’re likely to hear a lot more about over the coming weeks and months. The long history of white supremacism and systemic racism in American comes up several times in this episode, although we didn’t have time to explore it in depth. Scene On Radio, produced by the Centre for Documentary Studies at Duke University, is a Peabody-nominated podcast hosted by veteran broadcaster John Biewen. He recently produced and co-presented a 14-part series called ‘Seeing White’ which explores what’s happening in mainstream white identity in America (not the KKK and neo-Nazis) and how the idea of whiteness has evolved over the centuries. The series also has a study guide and fully referenced bibliography for further reading and listening. More recently, Scene On Radio produced a 12-part series earlier this year called “The Land That Never Has Been Yet”. It tells the less well known story of democracy in America going right back to the beginning of the republic. It looks at authoritarianism, voter suppression, gerrymandering, foreign intervention and the role of money in America’s elections. ***FOLLOW THE SHOW***  You can subscribe to Standing Places on iTunes, Google Podcasts and Spotify and please rate, review and share the show so that more people can hear about it.

In the wake of the shock and horror of those attacks, manyasked the question, why do they hate us? But the country failed to engagein a serious, sustained, deeply probing examination of the possibleanswers to that question. Instead, the leaders of the Bush administrationencouraged us to adopt the simplistic and aggressive “with us or againstus” stance and we ran roughshod over our allies, turning a deaf ear to anycriticisms of the course of action the Bush leadership had determined totake. We have been unwilling—both at this critical juncture andthroughout our history—to turn a sufficiently critical eye on our ownbehavior in the world. We have often behaved in an overbearing, imperial,hypocritical manner as we have attained more and more power as ahegemon.Our hypocritical, bullying behavior in regard to so many of the regionsof the world is surely not the only reason for the 9/11 attacks—and itcertainly doesn't justify those horribly callous, violent terrorist acts—butwe have failed to even consider deeply as a culture the role our imperialistbehavior has played in the contempt we have inspired in so much of theworld." ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This hour, we talk about the role white people play in anti-racist work, and how we can all talk with young people about anti-racism. You’ll hear from John Biewen, audio program director at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. He’s also the host and producer of Scene On Radio, a podcast that tells stories exploring human experience and American society. The second season of that series is called “Seeing White”. Through 14 episodes, it explores America’s deep history of white supremacy. Biewen, who is white, and his co-host and collaborator Chenjerai Kumanyika, Assistant Professor at Rutgers University’s Department of Journalism and Media Studies, who is Black, talk about the manufacturing of the concept of race and the purpose of whiteness. The latest season of Scene on Radio just wrapped this week, and it’s called “The Land That Never Has Been Yet” (The title is from the Langston Huges poem, “Let America Be America Again”), and it examines the ways in which the United States grapples with the democratic experiment. Later, we hear from Amber Coleman-Mortley, who is the Director of Social Engagement at iCivics, Inc., a nonpartisan, civic education, gaming and classroom resource. On her blog, Mom Of All Capes, she writes and podcasts about practical strategies parents can use in edtech, civics, and social emotional development. One of her recent episodes was centered around having family discussions about racism, why parents and educators should talk about race, and they share tips to help get these conversations started. She joins me to talk about things to keep in mind as we talk with children about anti-racism. Finally, hear my conversations with parents and their children at a recent Black Lives Matter rally in Hartford.

This is a conversation for white women about our role and privilege in a racist and white supremacist society and the work *we* need to do. As Kamala Harris said in a recent tweet: “The deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor are not isolated incidents. They are the result of systematic racism that has existed for generations.” I’ve seen on social media from white women that they’re uncertain and scared about what to say.  Yes, it can feel risky to speak up, to say something, to not be silent. But, our speaking up is *nothing* compared to the risk that Black women and men face every day. It’s the very least we can do - and it’s not enough. Saying “I’m not racist” isn’t enough. As white women, there's much work for us to do to recognize how we benefit from and uphold racism - and then do something about it. 'Ally' is a verb, not a noun (as I’ve learned from Black women who do anti-racism education). In this episode, Diane Diaz and I talk about the work of anti-racism as white women. “Anti-racism is the active process of identifying and eliminating racism by changing systems, organizational structures, policies and practices and attitudes, so that power is redistributed and shared equitably." - NAC International Perspectives: Women and Global Solidarity - http://www.aclrc.com/antiracism-defined “Speaking Your Brand” is about more than your business and marketing message; it’s who you are and what you value - and what you explicitly tell and show to the world about what matters and what you’re willing to do. Our starting place for our own work as white women is the book “Me and White Supremacy” by Layla F. Saad. I highly recommend you purchase her book and work through it. We’re going to be doing so with our clients. As white women, we need to: Recognize our privilege - and be willing to lose it Understand that we have unconscious bias Learn the history of how integral racial hierarchy and slavery were to the U.S. constitution and our capitalist economic system - and how it continues to this day Be aware of what’s going on in the news Call out racist talk Take risks, including potentially losing revenue and opportunities Listen and learn Speak up, but not over Be more than intentional - be explicit Lift up the voices of Black women and women of color Purchase from Black-owned businesses Direct people to Black women who are doing this work Vote for candidates who advocate for marginalized groups   We welcome your questions and thoughts about this episode.

On this week’s podcast, we share an episode from a podcast we love, Scene on Radio. The episode explores the idea of ‘himpathy,’ or the disproportionate empathy that men receive compared with other groups. —- Several years after Janey was sexually assaulted by her former boyfriend, Mathew, she told some of her closest friends, and her mother, what Mathew had done. Janey was so troubled by her loved ones’ responses, or lack thereof, that she went back to them years later to record conversations about it all. In this episode: Janey’s story, and philosopher Kate Manne, who coined the term “himpathy” in her 2017 book, Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny. With co-hosts John Biewen and Celeste Headlee. To hear more of Janey Williams’ story and the conversations she had with friends, check out her podcast, “This Happened”, available on most podcast apps and at thishappenedpodcast.com. Music by Alex Weston, Evgueni and Sacha Galperine, and Kevin MacLeod. Music and production help from Joe Augustine at Narrative Music.

OMG we're back. No, seriously, we are. On this episode, we discuss Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. In this episode: we think this is a book all white Americans should read, how engaging the book is, the epistemological form, how his description of parenting resonated for us (two non-parents, lol), how its a privilege for white people to avoid reading this because of fear of how intense it may be, the concept of whiteness (check out the podcast Scene On Radio's series Seeing White for more on that topic), and how it's time to bump Romeo and Juliet for Between the World and Me on required reading lists. ENJOY, drunkers! We read: Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates Up next: Text Me When You Get Home by Kayleen Schaefer Olivia drinks: a chardonnay from a former employee Ashley drinks: a sour margarita that is no longer sour

The Duke Center for Documentary Studies produces as podcast called Scene On Radio. From February to August of 2017, they released a 14 part series called Seeing White. Many discussions of race focus on anyone who isn't white, leaving whiteness as the default, or the norm. This series, as they say, turns the lens around to look at whiteness directly - what does it mean? where did it come from? We are thrilled to present some highlights from their series here, with some additional discussion of how these topics relate more directly to school integration. We highly recommend listening to the entire series, as we think it holds incredibly important lessons about race, about America, and about how we might move forward as a country. As a disclaimer, in editing together this episode, we have left behind a lot of the context, and while the ideas speak for themselves, at times, they may feel like a pretty bit leap. If you feel yourself questioning the arguments they are making, we suggest listening to the full series to get the entire context.

In this edition:A short riff on silence, complete with narration and musical accompanimentYou read that right! (Press play dear friends, and engage those headphones.)A sweet recommendation.The blank canvasSome people feel they need to make a loud sound in order to feel beautiful. For them, the power they put into and extract from an amp is the only way to experience an honest sound.This is sacrosanct for some people, and I'd respect it more if the sounds these people made didn't drown out all the other sounds so insistently.We don't all have the same set of issues.I like to bring it, loudly and through an amp with the cello. But the real work is done with my hands, and sometimes it happens at an SPL so close to silence that you wouldn't know it was happening even if you were here in the room with me. There's a wide, wide range.And the sound of actual silence has a power beyond anything, not to mention a beauty you can't find anywhere else.I work hard on my sound, but I also burn a lot of bandwidth creating that silent space in which to play. It's like stretching a canvas before you paint: the silence is under everything so I take care of that part first.And I'll tell you the truth, it's one of the hardest parts because it's a noisy world out here.And while you can totally start something without a bed of silence, it's one way I've found to know right away if my noise is coming from an honest place.We all end up there eventually, so might as well make friends with it....something curated:I’m a huge fan of the podcast “Scene On Radio”.

Throughout history, men have been seen as the dominant gender. Why is this? Some assume the model goes all the way back to the primitive cave man. Others believe the gender pecking order was commanded by God. In this episode, Trey speaks with John Biewen and Celeste Headlee about their “Men” series for the "Scene On Radio" podcast. In this episode we dive deep into how, when and why men invented the patriarchy, and how it hurts everyone.

Amanda Litherland and Renay Richardson recommend podcasts and chat to the creators. This week, Scene On Radio with John Biewen and Jon Ronson's new series The Last Days Of August.

What’s going on with men? Why is it so hard to negotiate the gender power dynamic in everyday situations, like work meetings? Can masculinity exist without its more toxic forms? And why can men get away with sexual misconduct---and even end up seeming like the “real” victim when they’re accused? While I’ve taken this season of Inflection Point to focus on what women can do to rise up and have more power, John Biewen and Celeste Headlee of the podcast Scene on Radio - MEN have been examining how the patriarchy that we’re rising up against was formed in the first place--and what to do about it. Today we’re taking a look at the conversations we’ve had over the past seasons of both shows and comparing notes to see if we can find some answers--together. After you’ve listened, come on over to The Inflection Point Society, our Facebook group of everyday activists who seek to make extraordinary change through small, daily actions.

In public discussions of racial violence, the focus is often on people of color and the way they experience racism. In this episode of Peace Talks Radio, our guests turn the lens on Whiteness, asking how the notion of Whiteness came to be, how it has shaped American history and how it perpetuates injustice in interpersonal interactions and systems in American society today. We talk with John Biewen, audio director at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, who produced the 2017 series Seeing White for his podcast “Scene On Radio”. The fourteen-part documentary audio series takes a deep dive into the history of Whiteness as a tool used to oppress people of color. Then we speak with Cheryl E. Matias, Ph.D., an associate professor at the University of Colorado Denver’s School of Education and Human Development. Matias, a woman of color, teaches mostly white teacher-candidates who often have the well-intentioned goal of teaching students of color in urban schools. Her book, "Feeling White", details how her students’ strong negative emotional reactions often derail important conversations about race, and offers lessons on how to work through those “emotionalities of Whiteness” in order to have more productive dialogue. We’ll also hear excerpts from an October 2018 workshop entitled “What Is Whiteness?” taught by educator and anti-racism activist Frida Miles at the Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice. Hannah Colton hosts.
