Historian Elizabeth Stordeur Pryor has spent her career tracing the racial slur, the N-word, through slavery, Jim Crow, the civil rights movement, and hip hop. But what she didn't tell most of her students, even some of her colleagues, was that her father was the comedian who put the word at the center of American comedy – Richard Pryor. "I was a scholar of the N-word — and so was he,” she tells Tonya Mosley. Her new book, ‘Something We Said: Richard Pryor, a Notorious Word, and Me,' is part memoir, part history of a word her father, late in his career, decided to never use again. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

It took Robin Emdon 10 years to finish a six-year degree. On the 20-minute drive home from celebrating with his brother, he started counting what procrastination had actually cost him: relationships, finances, career, health. By the time he pulled into his driveway, he was furious. He was a trained life coach. And he didn't have the cure. That moment sent him into 900 research studies on procrastination and what he found will completely change how you think about why you delay, avoid, and stall on the things that matter most. Procrastination isn't a character flaw or a discipline problem. It's hardwired into your brain and there's a science-backed way to work with it instead of against it. In this high-energy, deeply practical conversation, George sits down with Robin J. Emdon, accountability coach, creator of GetResultsology®, and host of the GoalBusters Podcast, to unpack the real psychology behind why entrepreneurs stay stuck and exactly what to do about it. This one is equal parts neuroscience and permission slip. You'll leave with a completely new framework for productivity and the clarity to finally stop mistaking busyness for progress. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why procrastination and productivity are just vehicles and what you're actually driving toward The brain science behind why we're hardwired to procrastinate (and why it's not your fault) The three neurotransmitters that determine your productivity state and how to activate them Robin's Inner Productivity Team: the Conductor, the Scholar, and the Fun-Sized Warrior Why setting big goals can actually trigger procrastination and what to use instead How external accountability can raise goal achievement by up to 33% The Pomodoro technique and how to use it to break patterns and build momentum fast Why the most productive environment isn't always the tidiest one The four questions that cut through any form of self-deception around avoidance How to connect your daily micro-actions to your Personal Life Vision Key Takeaways: ✔️Procrastination is what stops you from living the life of your dreams. Productivity is what gets you there. ✔️We're hardwired to procrastinate. The brain's limbic system is designed for survival, not creativity.  ✔️To get into the groove of productivity, you need three neurotransmitters present: dopamine (the Conductor), acetylcholine (the Scholar), and noradrenaline (the Fun-Sized Warrior). When all three are active, you're in flow. ✔️Goals create obligation. Obligation creates anxiety. Anxiety triggers threat modality which shuts down your prefrontal cortex entirely. Use micro-deadlines and clear next steps instead ✔️External accountability is one of the most powerful productivity tools available.  ✔️One POM (25-minute focused block) is enough to start. You don't have to solve everything today. You just have to begin. ✔️The four questions that cut through any avoidance:  What are you pretending not to know?  What are you pretending not to see?  Where else does this show up in your life?  And what is it costing you?

In this episode I am once again joined by Duncan Barford, occult practitioner, counsellor, and author of “Occult Experiments in the Home”. Duncan reflects on his training as a counsellor and the difficulties in sharing his occult interests in that context; his deep appreciation of Freud and Jung; and the links between psychoanalysis and mythic figures such as such as Uranus, Oedipus, and Narcissus. Duncan considers whether Buddhism is merely a useful fiction, offers advice for those interested in learning how tp use mythology to gain insight into life, and explains why the emphasis of his spiritual practice has shifted from awakening to psychological wellbeing. Duncan also talks about his new magical novel, “The Going Down”, describes its plot and messages, and reveals why he believes the practice of Pragmatic Dharma can accrue a profoundly dark karmic debt. … Video version: www.guruviking.com Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 00:59 - Duncan's therapist hated the occult 02:58 - Misconceptions about Jungian therapy 04:19 - Psychopomp as therapist 04:25 - Freud, Jung, Skinner, Piaget, Rogers, and Carlyle 08:48 - Duncan was a fervent Freudian 09:35 - Freud vs trauma therapy 13:13 - What Freud did 15:58 - Buddhism's useful fiction 19:47 - Where Freud went wrong 21:50 - The castration complex 26:37 - Castration myths 27:58 - Freud and Duncan's childhood 30:40 - Universal or culturally specific? 32:15 - Oedipus, myth, and psychoanalysis 37:29 - Duncan's novel 38:36 - Writing “The Going Down” 41:11 - Plot summary 43:07 - A life-changing ancestor working 44:22 - Duncan's hope for the book 45:53 - Fiction and the occult 48:40 - Alan Chapman's dismay at the novel 49:22 - The dark, karmic debt of Pragmatic Dharma 54:38 - Meeting a Dark Goddess 56:15 - The myth of Persephone 59:49 - A change in Duncan's meditation practice 01:00:43 - This is the Underworld 01:02:34 - Bailey's and Steve's problems 01:03:55 - The Franklin's Tale 01:05:30 - How occultists interpret their life situations 01:09:12 - Is everyone psychotic? 01:10:45 - Using depression and panic as portals 01:12:16 - Duncan believes in everything 01:14:00 - Internal vs external integration 01:19:30 - Why you need mythic literacy 01:20:57 - How to learn more about myths 01:22:55 - Should you read myths? 01:25:07 - The myth of Narcissus 01:28:25 - Scholar vs poet 01:32:22 - Finishing a novel 01:34:06 - Narrative fashions in fiction 01:36:01 - Haunting quality 01:37:43 - A companion in the Underworld

For many Arizona students, the path into science begins with a single summer that reshapes their confidence and their future. Since 2007, the Helios Scholars Program at TGen has been that turning point. Each year, Helios Scholars spend eight weeks working directly with TGen researchers exploring cancer biology, neurological and infectious disease, diabetes, and the fast‑growing world of computational genomics. Some even step into administrative roles that keep scientific projects moving. The program began with a Helios Education Foundation grant in 2006. The pilot's success led to a $6.5 million endowment and the official launch of Helios Scholars at TGen, a program built to educate, inspire, and strengthen Arizona's STEM workforce. Now entering its 20th year, the impact is undeniable. Alumni have published research, earned national recognition, and joined top graduate and medical programs across the country. Helios alumna Saahithi Mallapragada joins TGen Talks to discuss how her Helios experience became a launchpad for her career in science. You'll hear about her internship experience, her work in the lab, and why she would encourage anyone to apply to the Helios Scholar program to see if science might be a true passion.

 In Part 2 of this interview with scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., she shares her first meeting with American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead, one of her early and most impactful mentors. Margaret considered Jean her "adopted daughter" and encouraged her to keep searching, keep understanding, keep putting pieces together to make some sense of it all. Mead was one of the early founders of Earth Day and taught Jean to keep reaching for solutions. Through this experience, Jean learned to produce extensive writing about the "new story of humanity" – she wrote books every month about history, culture, and possibilities. Jean talks today about how we can progress through community and cooperation and use our creativity to the fullest, by recognizing the good in one another. We can activate our innate genes as beings seeking constant growth and evolve to become higher humans as we visualize the possibilities and create the world we want. This is entelechy – it pushes us toward what humanity could be. Through her mentors and studies, Jean learned to observe and hone her particular awareness in a unique way of seeing people and raising them to their greatness. She worked for the UN and with many cultures throughout the world as well as working with Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. Today we are asked to consider, "What does a world that works look like?"  New science, quantum physics, and relational science teach that there is unity and oneness. Jean believes we are in a renaissance period now and although we've experienced the pandemic, wars, and scenes of outrage, we've also seen the linking of hearts, which is indeed the gestation period of a New Humanity. People want peace worldwide. We can do this by accessing the very depths of the human spirit which is available to all of us by seeing the very best in one another. This is the second of a two-part discussion. Info: JeanHouston.com. This interview was originally taped in May 2022. Scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., made her transition very recently and we air this in her honor.

These days, we take the polarization of faith in America for granted: Christians are mostly conservative, and liberals are hardly religious at all. But it wasn't always this way.

What happens when faith, literacy, racial trauma, and liberation all collide in one powerful conversation?I recently sat down with New York native Dr. Yusuf Malik Frederick, author of the groundbreaking book I Love Islam but I'm Tired of Muslims: How Spiritual Abuse and Racial Trauma Intersect to Cause Psychological Distress Among African American Muslims.This wasn't just an interview. This was a necessary conversation.Dr. Frederick talked about the painful realities that led him to write a book that has so many people — especially within the Black Muslim community — reflecting, healing, and finally having conversations that have been silenced for far too long.But what made this discussion even more powerful was our conversation about literacy and access to information. We talked about how reading is more than a skill — it is a tool of empowerment. Literacy gives Black people the ability to think critically, challenge harmful systems, heal through knowledge, and reclaim our narratives.Throughout this thought-provoking episode, one message remained clear: literacy is deeply connected to liberation.If you care about faith, healing, education, Black empowerment, or the power of reading to transform lives, this is an episode you need to hear.Let's grow!Click the link to purchase Dr. Yusuf's book.Also follow him on Facebook and IG at Dr. Yusuf Malik Frederickwww.crescentwellnessfoundation.orgClick the link if you're looking for a pre-k-4th grade reading tutor https://abclearntutoring.com/Click the link to donate to ABC READhttps://abcread.org/https://www.amazon.com/H-R-Healed-Empowered-Resilient/dp/B0FCFJWP59/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1S51VDD2Z33P0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.SL9bpHu07vumWhZcWDoWp6C1mGXe_0wIKpjqKHc7DnKta-En71ZgxgTCDWi3LiqR_9oo32Q6rpTQ-7iK5hF8q5iVn6s0R0tHP5klRWKVt7c.emIvzHJzKgkAb1srcu_VYhfodYZ76E_rM_xYYFmsBu0&dib_tag=se&keywords=h.e.r.+healed%2C+empowered+resilient+book&qid=1779246459&sprefix=%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-1

 Do you feel stressed on a daily basis? Are you feeling low energy?  The news is filled with stories of wars, mass shootings, rights getting overturned, economic uncertainty, and so much continuous devastation, it could seem that we are living in End Times.  Our guest today, scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., delves into the idea of finding possibility, even during these times of great grief. We have been conditioned to respond to the terrible, but it does not have to be this way. As an icon in the Human Potential movement, Jean shares ideas about how the Renaissance, with its advancements in music, art, poetry, and cosmology,  came after great plagues and times of war, much like the world situation today. Could we be in a new Renaissance period now? We are once again in a similar time of radical growth, and we have the power within us to see new possibilities and reach mythical potential in our human evolution.     Jean shares stories of her travels and talks about her friendship with scholar Joseph Campbell and how they would have "beautiful fights" which were friendly arguments and deep discussions about mythology and the fate of humanity. Campbell wrote extensively about the "Hero's Journey," while Jean considered the "Heroine's Journey." Part of the problem is that 50% of the human race is not being recognized for women's immense creativity and power. Women's ways are missing. With an emphasis on compassion, cooperation, community, and process rather than product and competition, humane creativity must be celebrated by acknowledging the achievements of women. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: JeanHouston.com.  This interview was originally taped in May 2022.

Today's episode jumps right into the introduction of law professor Adam Macleod, a renowed expert on common law, by the Chair of the Tennessee Senate's judiciary committee in 2019. Professor Macleod testified about the relationship of common law to the forgotten and overlooked Ninth Amendment, and their relationship to the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee that "persons" are not to be deprived of "life" without "due process of law." Everyone needs to absorb his testimony, even if it takes repeated listens. It is the understanding of the Constitution and the legislative branch rarely taught in law schools!

Influential scholar W.E.B Du Bois lived through many significant periods for Black Civil Rights in America, from being born just 5 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, documenting Reconstruction, and the Civil Rights Movement of the 20th century. He was also a New Yorker, living for 10 years in Brooklyn Heights before moving to Ghana, where he died the day before the March on Washington at the age of 95. A new two-hour documentary, 'W.E.B. Du Bois: Rebel With A Cause,' tells the full life story Du Bois, as part of PBS's American Masters series. Director Rita Coburn discusses her work on the film, premiering on May 19 at 9pm.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Danielle Procope Bell, PhD, an Autistic Black feminist scholar and Assistant Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.Danielle shares how she knew from early childhood that she was different, finding other children chaotic, preferring books and structure, and feeling an invisible glass wall between herself and others.Like many late-identified adults, Danielle's recognition journey deepened after her son's Autism diagnosis, when family patterns suddenly came into focus and helped her understand herself in a new way.This is a conversation about identity, lineage, belonging, and what becomes possible when you finally see yourself clearly.

Today's episode jumps directly into the introduction of nationally respected law professor Adam MacLeod and his testimony before the Tennessee Senate's judiciary committee in 2019. His testimony supported pro-life legislation I had drafted to challenge Roe v. Wade. It is a critical primer on the relationship of common law to the forgotten Ninth Amendment, and their relationship to the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. His testimony explains what the U.S. Supreme Court got wrong in justifying abortion. It is also the path forward for states to have the unborn declared a legal person with a right to life.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week on the podcast it's an NYU affair with a side of Columbia University, Harvard University and UCLA.

What does it look like when a Jewish New Testament scholar sits down with a Christian host to talk about how two ancient traditions read the same texts — and reach such different conclusions? That's exactly the conversation host Jean Geran has with Dr. Amy-Jill Levine in this wide-ranging episode recorded in Madison, Wisconsin.AJ Levine is University Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School, and one of the most respected voices in Jewish-Christian dialogue today.

Welcome to this week's episode of "People in Transition". I'm your host, Bob Gerst, and today I'm joined by Gregg Lunceford, PhD, CFP®, a seasoned wealth advisor and thought leader who is redefining how we think about retirement. As a Managing Director at Mesirow and an academic researcher focused on 21st-century retirement transitions, Gregg brings a rare combination of real-world experience and deep intellectual insight to this conversation. With more than two decades of advising individuals approaching and entering retirement, his work goes far beyond finances - exploring identity, purpose, and what it truly means to thrive in life's “third age.” Gregg is also the author of "Exit from Work", where he challenges conventional thinking and opens the door to a more intentional, fulfilling vision of retirement.In this engaging and thought-provoking discussion, Gregg and I explore several important yet often overlooked aspects of retirement. We dig into why so many people struggle to feel excited about retirement - touching on the loss of structure, daily accomplishment, and social connection that work provides - and what can be done to address those challenges. Gregg introduces the idea of building a “coaching identity” and explains how it can provide continuity and purpose during this transition. We also discuss how retirement doesn't have to be a binary, all-or-nothing decision; it can be a gradual shift, working fewer days over time. Along the way, we examine the untapped sense of empowerment that retirement can offer, the importance of replacing “kinship with friendship,” and how evolving life stages - from youth to middle age to the “third age” - shape our satisfaction and happiness.This is a conversation that challenges assumptions and opens up new possibilities for anyone thinking about what comes next. Gregg offers practical insights and a refreshing perspective on how to approach retirement not as an ending, but as a beginning filled with opportunity. If you're preparing for this transition - or even just starting to think about it - this episode will give you plenty to consider.

From Krista: On April 4, 1967, Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech at Riverside Church in New York City called “A Time to Break Silence.” This is often referred to as his “Beyond Vietnam” Speech. His own allies criticized it as a risky departure from a focus on civil rights. But Dr. King had never seen his calling confined to those two words. The Vietnam War needed to end, he believed, and he needed to say that plain. And in the waging of this war — and all of its consequences for people at home, especially the poor — he saw an underlying crisis that threatened the very soul of our nation. On that same date this year, the 59th anniversary of this speech, hundreds gathered again at Riverside for reflection, song, and a reading of portions of the speech. It was drafted by Dr. King's friend and comrade Vincent Harding, a beloved former On Being guest, and many of his friends and family joined this year. None of the words of this speech is as famous as the sentence “I have a dream.” This speech altogether gives voice to the less remembered and heeded evolution of the vision of Dr. King and Vincent Harding and others. It invokes the work that endures beyond leaders and events of the day, and that can be neglected at our peril if too many of us too narrowly focus our imaginations and creativity and callings on what transfixes and demoralizes in the moment. It calls for a “revolution of values” in the face of glaring contrasts of poverty and wealth and the human cost of a world order that settles differences with wars. That our world is broken, it tells us, should come as no surprise. There were deep moral and spiritual underpinnings to the events of 59 years ago, which we did not acknowledge, much less have risen to as a nation. A line from this speech seems directly aimed at our ears and our hearts: “We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.” What are the callings now, finally, for us to pick up in creating the world we want to inhabit in the beyond of this moment of great peril and an equal magnitude of possibility? This is a conversation with two human beings who loved Vincent Harding and whom he loved and formed: Michelle Alexander and Lucas Johnson. You do not need to have heard or read the speech to follow this conversation, but here are links to do so if you wish: Hear the speech, as recorded in 1959, in full. Read the speech in full here.

David Perry shares about his new book, The Public Scholar, on episode 621 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Teaching is the most important form of public engagement that any of us do. -David Perry If we are really practiced at teaching, and as we develop our skills as teachers, those are the skills that can also take us into other spaces outside of the classroom. -David Perry Academia is structured around all kinds of failure. Once you recognize that, and then bring yourself into another context where you’re going to experience rejection, you already have the skills to cope with it. -David Perry I think all writers, and certainly in academia, worry a lot about our worst faith readers. How do we not get ripped apart? You have to write for your best faith reader. You have to really shift your focus. -David Perry Resources The Public Scholar: A Practical Handbook by David M.

In this episode of More to the Story, I'm joined by New Testament scholar Dr. David A. deSilva for a rich and fun conversation about faith, vocation, and theological formation. Dr. deSilva shares his personal calling to serve the church as a scholar and reflects on how his academic work has been shaped by a desire to build up the people of God. We explore his major areas of research in the New Testament and early Christianity (commentaries, apocryphal, and archaeological studies). Along the way, David tells the story of how God gradually led him into Wesleyan theology and Methodism, helping him see the deep coherence between his scholarly commitments and a tradition shaped by holiness, grace, and discipleship. This episode is warm and genuinely fun—a conversation with someone whose work has made a lasting contribution to both the academy and the church.Youtube - https://youtu.be/GkyAyJ8QrEEAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

Often we hear colonialism spoken of as something that happened in the past. At other times in public discourse the term attracts heated resistance and the voices of the colonised are frequently not heard. If colonialism is not just the past but remains in the air we breathe, we can miss the ongoing effects in areas of diverse as class, economy, gender relationships and race. Dr Kwok Pui-lan joins the podcast to bring a global perspective to how colonialism is at play in political, religious and domestic relationships of power and in the legacy of social harm and intergenerational trauma. This means that colonialism is a current dynamic to which we need to be alive and alert if we are to work towards the healing of relationships through the ways of peace and justice. Dr. Kwok Pui-lan is a Scholar at Episcopal Divinity School, past president of the American Academy of Religion and has authored and edited numerous books on Asian and Asian American feminist theology, biblical interpretation, and postcolonial criticism.

We begin with a widowed mother in a quiet English spa town wakes up in the middle of the night to find herself no longer alone. She desperately wants to dismiss what happened as nothing more than a nightmare  but that will quickly prove to be impossible to do. Then, a practical, no-nonsense governess is visited by something. Something that will change and appear to be very, very alive. Or at least, be very sentient despite being dead or unrecognizable as far as life as we know it. Then, a tale about a family all experiencing things in a Colombian apartment, unaware of each others encounters. Next up, a call back to an episode from 2020 about Sue Hardy- kind of. Lastly, the ghost of Katie- was it an imaginary friend or something sinister?  Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp 2026: Have you heard?! We have some amazing friends joining us at camp!

Crenshaw named two of the most contested ideas in American politics: intersectionality and critical race theory. Her new book is called ‘Backtalker: An American Memoir.' It takes us to her childhood in Canton, Ohio, and along her path through Cornell, Harvard Law, and the University of Wisconsin, where, in 1988, as a graduate student, she sketched a diagram of an intersection to explain how race, class, and gender overlap. She spoke with Tonya Mosley about these moments in her career, and how she's thinking about America's 250th anniversary. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

This week I am talking to Dr Gregory Shushan about his book 'Near-Death Experience in Indigenous Religions'. Near-death experiences are known around the world and throughout human history. They are sometimes reported by individuals who have revived from a period of clinical death or near-death and they typically feature sensations of leaving the body, entering and emerging from darkness, meeting deceased friends and relatives, encountering beings of light, judgment of one's earthly life, feelings of oneness, and reaching barriers, only to return to the body. Those who have NDEs almost invariably understand them as having profound spiritual or religious significance. In this book, Gregory Shushan explores the relationships between near-death experiences, shamanism, and beliefs about the afterlife in traditional indigenous societies in Africa, North America, and Oceania. Drawing on historical accounts of the earliest encounters with explorers, missionaries, and ethnologists, this study addresses questions such as: Do ideas about the afterlife commonly originate in NDEs? What role does culture play in how people experience and interpret NDEs? How can we account for cross-cultural similarities and differences between afterlife beliefs? Though NDEs are universal, Shushan shows that how they are actually experienced and interpreted varies by region and culture. As the historical documents reveal, in North America, they were commonly valorized, and attempts were made to replicate them through shamanic rituals. In Africa, however, they were largely considered aberrational events with links to possession or sorcery. In Oceania, Micronesia corresponded more to the African model, while Australia had a greater focus on afterlife journey shamanism. Polynesia and Melanesia showed an almost casual acceptance of the phenomenon as reflected in numerous myths, legends, and historical accounts. This study examines the continuum of similarities and differences between NDEs, shamanism, and afterlife beliefs in dozens of cultures throughout these regions. In the process, it makes a valuable contribution to our knowledge about the origins of afterlife beliefs around the world and the significance of related experiences in human history. Gregory Shushan explores the relationship between NDEs and beliefs about the afterlife in traditional indigenous societies.

An Interview with Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, Scholar, Rabbi, and Senior Fellow, Tikvah At a time when faith is increasingly viewed as something to be kept out of public life, one of America's most compelling Jewish scholars and public intellectuals is making the opposite case — that religious liberty is not merely tolerated in America but is essential to its founding character and constitutional order. Our guest on this episode of Voices of Freedom is Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, rabbi of Congregation Shearith Israel in New York — the oldest Jewish congregation in the United States — and Director of the Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought at Yeshiva University. A Senior Fellow at Tikvah and a scholar who has lectured at the Vatican and at Christian institutions across America and Europe, Rabbi Soloveichik brings both rigorous scholarship and the natural authority of a congregational rabbi to the most urgent questions about faith, freedom, and the American experiment. His most recent book, Providence and Power: Ten Portraits in Jewish Statesmanship, explores the qualities of moral courage and virtue that great leaders have drawn from faith across centuries. Rabbi Soloveichik is also a 2026 Bradley Prize winner. Topics Discussed on this Episode: Rabbi Soloveichik's path from a distinguished rabbinic family to Princeton, the synagogue, and the public square What America's oldest Jewish congregation reveals about the relationship between faith and the American Founding The resurgence of antisemitism in the West and what it tells us about the fragility of freedom The case for religious liberty as essential — not incidental — to America's constitutional order What it means to receive a Bradley Prize

Omer Bartov is an Israeli professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University. He grew up in a Zionist home and served as an officer in the Israel Defense Forces, but he has long been concerned about Israel's use of military power. In a new book called “Israel: What Went Wrong?,” Bartov argues that Zionism has morphed into an ideology of extremism that led to genocide in Gaza following the Hamas attacks of October 7th. “There is growing criticism of American support for these kinds of Israeli policies, both on the American left and on the American right,” Bartov tells David Remnick. Bartov believes that Israel requires “shock therapy” because “it has not still come to identify the limits of its own power, because those limits are in Washington, DC and it's there that those limits have to be set.” “For Israel, that would be good, because I think Israel needs to be liberated from that kind of dependence on American power. I think, for American society and for American Jewry, that's a very bad thing because there is a rise of . . . antisemitism from the Tucker Carlsons of the world, who are a rising force right now.”Further reading:  “Israel: What Went Wrong?,” by Omer Bartov “A Holocaust Scholar Meets with Israeli Reservists,” by Isaac Chotiner “How to Define Genocide,” by Isaac Chotiner The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Democrats and Republicans are cleaning house this week: both Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales resigned from Congress following a wave of scandals. Dr. Drew is taking your calls and wants to know: Are they “innocent until proven guilty” or is the evidence so strong that they just needed to go? Global tensions continue to escalate as the Iran War continues. And in a rare move, President Trump deleted one of his Truth Social posts that many perceived as blasphemy – was this a smart move, or did he bend to the mob? Joining Dr. Drew to answer calls is ophthalmologist and surgeon Dr. Azadeh Khatibi, who fights for bodily autonomy and medical freedom in Sacramento. Dr. Azadeh Khatibi is a fellowship-trained and board-certified ophthalmologist, surgeon, physician-scientist, filmmaker, actress, teacher, and activist.
