Podcasts about self portraits

This conversation starts with self-portrait photography and body image and somehow takes us all the way to Iceland, perfectionism, creativity, and learning to slow down.   In this episode, I'm joined by environmental self-portrait photographer and registered dietitian Sara Kushner for a conversation about body image, creativity, being seen, and what photography can teach us about ourselves when we stop trying so hard to get it “right.” Sara shares how self-portrait photography slowly changed her relationship with her body, why she believes being in photos matters, and what happened when she spent weeks traveling alone through Iceland, photographing in the middle of the night under the midnight sun. We also talk about the pressure so many of us put on ourselves to create our best work, especially in beautiful places, and what shifted when Sara stopped chasing the “perfect” photo and started paying attention to what actually felt meaningful. There's also a pretty unexpected plot twist involving Iceland, Norway, and a trip that did not go according to plan.   In this conversation, we talk about: • How self-portrait photography can change the way you see yourself   • Body image, being in photos, and learning to soften self-judgment   • Why environmental self-portraits feel different than traditional portraits   • Traveling alone in Iceland and photographing under the midnight sun   • Creative pressure, perfectionism, and making photos that actually mean something   • What changed when Sara stopped trying to photograph what she thought she should make   • The role nature can play in helping us feel more connected to ourselves   If this conversation stays with you after listening, check out the companion blog post sharing a few more reflections on this episode, including creativity, self-portraiture, and the pressure so many of us put on ourselves when we travel to beautiful places with our cameras.   Read the blog post here: https://studio.wildwomanphotography.com/post/iceland-self-portraits-learning-to-see-ourselves-with-sara-kushner   You can learn more about Sara and her work here: Website: https://sarakushner.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sara_at_play/   If this episode gets you thinking differently about your photography, your creativity, or the stories you tell yourself when you see yourself in photos, I'd love to hear from you. And if you've been wanting more support with your photography, I recently opened a new one-to-one monthly mentorship where we can work through editing, creative blocks, project ideas, self-doubt, and building work that feels more like you.   You can learn more here:   https://studio.wildwomanphotography.com/private-mentoring   Or book a short discovery call here:   https://link.creativemindscoach.com/widget/bookings/photo-mentoring-discovery-call

Karen Holt didn't realize her childhood was anything other than normal, whether it was her father's absence every Monday to Friday; their odd moves from town to town without any warning;  the FBI arresting her father; visiting a mafioso on his ranch; or even visiting her father in his ‘country club' prison.As she became an adult, she realized her father, Chauncey Marvin Holt worked not just as an accountant, circus performer, or painter, but also for the CIA; he had curiously prominent friends; and also did work for the mafia. As he neared the end of his life, her father told her much of what he was involved in during her childhood, including his being at Dealey Plaza the day JFK was assassinated. In fact, Holt was pictured in Life Magazine as one of the three hobos detained as witnesses.Karen shares her recollections, and how she made peace with her father's outrageous life, as he describes it in his memoir “Self-Portrait of a Scoundrel.”Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

Woody Allen's "Interiors" is a poorly understood film, in part because it deals with artists and their foibles for a non-artistic audience. There are misunderstandings about Woody Allen's POV vs. the POV of his characters, misunderstandings about the nature of art and aesthetics, and even the role of cinematic influences on Allen, such as through Ingmar Bergman. In this episode of the ArtiFact Podcast, the world's leading Woody Allen critic, Alex Sheremet, discusses "Interiors" with other film critics and artists, bringing the deepest and broadest conversation on the film.

Before it was a country, America was first a light for Walid. Projected into his child's eyes by a white-edged cathode-ray television set, in the Val-de-Marne.It was not yet a dream. But it was already a refuge: the world of TV shows, cartoons, ordinary heroes who, one day, are given the chance to reveal who they truly are. Then, one evening in January 1991, the programme is interrupted. Baghdad appears on screen, war enters the family living room, and history stops having only one version.Later would come hip-hop, the aftermath of 9/11, the first trip to New York, Obama, Trump. And one question that never went away: what remains of that childhood light Walid had mistaken for America?___What's Left of the American Dream? / Que reste-t-il du rêve américain ? is a bilingual documentary series by Walid Hajar Rachedi. Set in Atlanta — the city of Martin Luther King Jr., a “Black Mecca” and a new crossroads of migration — during the first 100 days of Donald Trump's second term in 2025, it explores the stories of those who still live the American Dream, those who question it, and those who never believed in it.Episode sound edit and mix: Laura Taouchanov___Find all our stories on frictions.co.Follow Frictions on Instagram, Facebook, X !Hébergé par Ausha.

Canva's mission is to empower the world to design, and by most measures, it's working. Millions of people create content in Canva every day, which means design is no longer something that belongs exclusively to designers. Now, with the acquisition of Affinity, Canva is making a move into professional territory. So what does that actually mean for those of us who make a living in this space? In this episode, Theresa Jackson sits down with Steve Caplin to dig into Affinity by Canva: what it is, how it works, and why the conversation around it goes well beyond the software itself. They give an honest take on where Affinity genuinely impresses and where it still comes up short for professional work, covering the same questions a lot of designers are already wrestling with about their role in a changing industry. If you've felt friction between your design team and the non-designers who use Canva, or if you've found yourself wondering how your job is evolving, this one's worth your time. Episode Highlights Switching between Vector, Pixel, and Layout within a single document is a departure from everything most designers are used to, and Theresa and Steve get into why that matters Theresa calls Affinity Canva's "olive branch" to professional designers, and unpacks why that framing deserves a second look Affinity's live filters and real-time previews create a noticeably different editing experience, and the episode explores what that unlocks "Free" as a pricing strategy has real implications for who gets to call themselves a designer The episode covers what Affinity still lacks, particularly around publishing workflows, automation, and accessibility, and why those gaps keep professionals anchored to InDesign and Adobe The tension between design teams and non-designers using Canva is real, growing, and worth talking about openly Designers are once again being asked to justify their value, and this conversation doesn't shy away from that The bigger question isn't which tool to use; it's what's shifting in the design industry and how to position yourself within that shift Resources CreativePro Week 2026, Nashville, June 29–July 3, 2026: https://creativeproweek.com/ CreativePro Events: https://creativepro.com/events/ Save $100 on any CreativePro event in 2026 with the discount code PODCAST: https://creativepro.com/events/ Get $15 off one year of CreativePro membership with the discount code PODCAST: https://creativepro.com/become-a-member/ Steve Caplin: https://stevecaplin.com/ Theresa Jackson's Self Portrait with Photoshop Displacement Map Filter: https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/max_3840_webp/00bfb313226357.56271a3df0ccf.jpg Canva Create Keynote: https://www.youtube.com/live/9HkO8masPT0 Affinity Download: https://www.affinity.studio/download Affinity for Photoshop Users by Steve Caplin: https://creativepro.com/affinity-photoshop-users/ YouTube: Displace Filter in Affinity: https://youtu.be/_9ZFMs1GkPg

Romans 7:24Unfortunately, the battle between right and wrong, good and evil, will always be at war within us. Despite our best efforts, we will always be strugglers. But Christ enables us to overcome wrong. He gives us the power to do what's right.

This week's episode is a special one  co-host Lynsey is joined by her old friend and former London College of Fashion classmate, Jodie Blake, now CMO at Manolo Blahnik. What starts as a nostalgic trip down memory lane (lemon poppy seed muffins from Starbucks, high heels to lectures, and getting the tube one stop instead of walking) quickly turns into one of the most insightful conversations we've had on the show.Jodie's career is a masterclass in building from the ground up. She started out as a press assistant at Office Shoes during its golden era of big collabs with Nike, Converse and Dr. Martens, before moving through a series of agencies - culminating in a decade at The Communication Store, where she worked across Versace, Max Mara, Acne Studios and more, doing 42 shows in a single fashion season. From there she went in-house at Self-Portrait to build on their communications function, before being headhunted to join Manolo Blahnik as Head of Communications - a role that evolved into her appointment as CMO almost two and a half years ago.We get into what it really means to market a luxury product today, how Manolo Blahnik has spent 22 years fighting to reclaim their trademark in China (spoiler: they won - one of only two cases ever, alongside Michael Jordan), the story behind the Birkenstock collab that sold out in 12 hours, the upcoming Balenciaga collaboration, and why being headline sponsor of the V&A's Marie Antoinette exhibition felt like the brand's most natural home.Jodie also shares what it was like to move from agency to in-house, the realities of stepping into a leadership role, and why working closely with buyers and the commercial team is central to everything her team does.3 Key Takeaways:Stay true to your brand values - even when it's hard. Manolo Blahnik famously refused to make trainers despite enormous commercial pressure and buyer demand. Jodie explains how staying uncompromisingly true to your identity is what builds longevity - 56 years, fully privately owned, with Manolo still designing every single shoe. Chasing trends can dilute a brand to the point where customers no longer know what you stand for.Break down silos and ask questions beyond your remit. Whether you're in PR, buying, merchandising or logistics, understanding how other parts of the business work gives you a fuller picture - and makes you better at your own job. Jodie credits this curiosity as a key driver of her own career progression, from agency PR specialist to CMO. The "holy trinity" of communications, commercial and merchandising teams working in lockstep is something she views as non-negotiable.Make people feel something. In a time of economic uncertainty, consumers are more considered than ever about what they buy. The brands that win are those creating genuine emotional connections - through storytelling, community, experiential moments, and products that carry real personal meaning. From a grandmother leaving envelopes of money for her granddaughters to buy Manolo Blahniks for their weddings, to a Birkenstock collab born out of shared values rather than commercial logSupport the showIf you've liked this episode please rate, follow, subscribe and share :) - and if you already have, thank you!

Poet of the Week, April 13–19, 2026. Full text of the poem & interview: brooklynpoets.org/community/poet/m-ezra-zhang

“Gaze upon my works, ye mighty and enjoy,” the self satisfied tone of Maurice Clayborn uttered that before the VHS tape ran to a stop. The grey fuzzy static replaced him immediately. Questions about what to expect surely echo through the minds of both investigators as the doors to the next room unlock automatically. The investigators are truly going in blind. “Has Saint canonically played Silent Hill? One must wonder.” Content Warning: Surveillance Experimental artist Maurice Clayborn has dropped contact with his employer and retreated to his home studio complex in the Texas Hills. After receiving a series of threatening messages from the artist and losing a few staff to the gates of Waterfalls at Dawn, the museum director recruits Saint and Alister to track down the artist and get his creative spree to stop.

Welcome back, loves!The male gaze didn't begin with film, it was already centuries old by the time cameras appeared. In this episode, I trace how powerful patrons, religious institutions and elite collectors shaped beauty standards through the paintings they commissioned. From reclining Venuses to carefully staged portraits, these images didn't just depict women, they trained viewers how to look at them. But when women finally entered the art world and began painting themselves and each other, the visual language started to shift.By the end of the episode, you may never look at a painting, a movie scene, or even your own camera roll quite the same way again.Are.

This week on Heavy Metal Tones – Episode 266, we explore the light and dark within extreme metal through a fascinating contrast of sound, atmosphere and intent.In this episode I review two very different yet equally compelling releases: Self Portraits in Black and the wild, ritualistic chaos of Witch Club Satan. One dives deep into the introspective and shadowy side of extreme music, creating an atmosphere that feels almost hauntingly personal, while the other unleashes raw, confrontational energy that channels the rebellious spirit at the heart of black metal.Together they show how extreme metal can exist on both ends of the spectrum — brooding and reflective on one side, feral and explosive on the other.Two visions. Two extremes. One genre that refuses to be confined.Turn it up and step into the shadows with Heavy Metal Tones.https://selfportraitsinblack.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/selfportraitsinblackhttps://www.witchclubsatan.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvgixsYAUvE. - You Wild Flowerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ls7yOBaEp0 - Fresh Blood Fresh Pussy Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we explore self-portrait poems through the lens of visual art—from “plating poems” to Dante Di Stefano's haunting idea of “ghost-ekphrasis.” Along the way, we dig into standout work by Hayden Saunier, Donald Hall, Seamus Heaney, Chen Chen, A.K. Ramanujan, Denise Duhamel, and Di Stefano himself—plus we paint an intense detour into Caravaggio. If you love ekphrastic poetry, craft talk, and poems that double as portraits, this one's for you.At the Table:Katie DozierTimothy GreenDante Di StefanoBrian O'SullivanJoe Barca

The first Art Basel Qatar art fair is now open in Qatar's capital, Doha, and The Art Newspaper's art market editor, Kabir Jhala, joins Ben Luke to discuss its impact, as well as reflecting on the wider artistic outlook in Qatar and the Middle East. The author of a new catalogue raisonné of the work of Albrecht Dürer argues that a painting of the artist's father in the National Gallery in London, long thought to be a copy after Dürer's original, is in fact an autograph work. Our special correspondent in London, Martin Bailey, tells us about the arguments for and against its authenticity. And this episode's Work of the Week is actually a pair of works. That is because there is a compelling double header opening at the Albertinum in Dresden this weekend, the exhibition Paula Modersohn-Becker and Edvard Munch: The Big Questions of Life. The exhibition's co-curator Andreas Dehmer discusses Selbstbildnis mit Hand am Kinn or Self-Portrait with Hand on Chin (1906) by Modersohn-Becker and Vampir or Vampire (1895) by Munch with our digital editor, Alexander Morrison.Art Basel Qatar continues until Saturday, 7 February.Christof Metzger, Albrecht Dürer: The Complete Paintings.

We kick things off with one of life’s most important questions: what kind of person hangs a portrait of themselves? From Wayne Gretzky’s unmatched record of having the most records, to Mark Thompson’s mysterious 8x10 glossy celebrity photo on his nightstand, we debate ego, legacy, and — naturally — what side of the bed do you sleep on? Then we get real about relationships. Do you have a snoring problem? We talk through the unspoken rules of sleep, compromise, and the secrets to a great marriage, because nothing tests love like a bad night’s sleep. Next, a serious (and slightly unsettling) trend: younger kids gambling on sports. After Ben Affleck told Jimmy Kimmel his son asked him for gambling money, we dig into how sports betting went from bookies and guys “running numbers” to being everywhere — and what that means for parents today. We wrap it up with “Good Times Go Bad” with Mark Thompson, diving into a new Gen Z reality: parents applying for jobs with their kids — and even going on interviews for them. Is this helpful parenting or crossing the line? Either way, the generational shift is impossible to ignore. Funny, uncomfortable, and surprisingly insightful — this episode hits all the angles.

The distorted and abstract videos that Maurice Clayborn sent to The Austin Art Museum do not paint a clear picture of the artist's intentions. They're creepy, seemingly disjointed, but are they trying to communicate anything? In a word of signs, symbols and clues, Exorcist Saint Garcia Flores and Man in Black Alister McAndrews may be facing their most confounding challenge yet: Interpretive Art. Experimental artist Maurice Clayborn has dropped contact with his employer and retreated to his home studio complex in the Texas Hills. After receiving a series of threatening messages from the artist and losing a few staff to the gates of Waterfalls at Dawn, the museum director recruits Saint and Alister to track down the artist and get his creative spree to stop.

Join translator Niloufar Talebi as she talks with Farnaz Fatemi about her new book, Elegies of the Earth: Selected Poems of Ahmad Shamlou, iconic Iranian 20th poet, Ahmad Shamlou, an innovator in Persian poetry and socially conscious writer. Extras: A companion YouTube playlist for this episode, which features original Persian recitations by Ahmad Shamlou alongside English translation readings and interviews about Shamlou by Niloufar Talebi. Fiind it here. Bios: One of the most influential cultural figures of Iran in the latter half of the twentieth century, Ahmad Shamlou (1925–2000) authored more than 70 books, including 18 volumes of poetry. Sometimes known by his pen name, Alef Bamdad, Shamlou's innovations brought on a transition from classical forms to free verse and made him a flag-bearer of the Iranian vanguard, which included the poet Forough Farrokhzad. Shamlou's synthesis of Eastern and Western poetic traditions and high and low styles democratized the literary mode without simplifying it. Championing the “everyman,” Shamlou's work reflects his deep engagement with social issues and the human condition.Niloufar Talebi is an author, educator, producer, and multidisciplinary storyteller whose work spans literature, opera, performance, and cultural translation. Her practice is rooted in reinvention—transforming language and lived experience into art that awakens, stirs, and liberates. Niloufar is the editor and translator of Elegies of the Earth: Selected Poems by Ahmad Shamlou (World Poetry, 2025), a sweeping centennial edition of Iran's iconic twentieth-century poet of liberty, whose work shaped modern Persian poetry. Her memoir Self-Portrait in Bloom (l'Aleph, 2019), praised as “a hybrid wonder” (The Rumpus), combines personal narrative with her award-winning translations of Nobel Prize–nominated Iranian poet Ahmad Shamlou. The book inspired the acclaimed opera Abraham in Flames (2019), which she commissioned, produced, presented, and co-created in collaboration with composer Aleksandra Vrebalov and director Roy Rallo.

She reaches out a hand from a long draping black dress. She has a shock of white hair and rose tinted eyeglasses that mask her smile lines. As she extends her hand toward you, it's hard not to notice the sapphire tipped rings on her fingers. She wants you to notice and holds her hand that way. Experimental artist Maurice Clayborn has dropped contact with his employer and retreated to his home studio complex in the Texas Hills. After receiving a series of threatening messages from the artist and losing a few staff to the gates of Waterfalls at Dawn, the museum director recruits Saint and Alister to track down the artist and get his creative spree to stop.

With the tiny town of refinery workers and bartenders in the rearview, the investigators' next destination is clear. After disbanding a cult, rescuing an immaterial alien, realigning shadowy planes of reality, busting a fraudulent tourist attraction and saving the senior citizens of the Swaying Birches Retirement Community, Alister and Saint's haphazard partnership has come to its logical conclusion.  Saint's content to go home and resume his life. Alister's putting off talking to his boss, Agent Grey. Is this the true end of our investigators' journey, or will another mystery draw them back together?

In this episode of The Compendium, we dive into the wild, beautiful, and often brutal life of Frida Kahlo. Frida Kahlo is the artist who turned her pain into power. From the accident that shattered her spine to the politics, love affairs, and Diego Rivera drama that filled her world, Frida painted every heartbreak straight onto the canvas. And today I'm going to tell Adam all about it as we explore her bold self-portraits, her surrealism before it had a name, and how a woman once dismissed as “Diego's wife” became a global symbol of art, rebellion, and self-expression, from La Casa Azul to the Tate Modern. We give you just the Compendium, but if you want more, here are our resources: Frida (2002) – Directed by Julie Taymor Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo – by Hayden Herrera Complete Works – Frida Kahlo – Frida Kahlo Foundation Frida: The Making of an Icon – Exhibition at Tate Modern Host & Show Info Hosts: Kyle Risi & Adam Cox Topic Suggested by: Samantha Bingley Intro Music: Alice in dark Wonderland by Aleksey Chistilin Trailer Music: Stealy Move by Soundroll Community & Calls to Action  Review & follow on: Spotify & Apple Podcasts  Follow us on Instagram: @theCompendiumPodcast  Visit us at: TheCompendiumPodcast.com ️ Early access episodes: Patreon  Share this episode with a friend! If you enjoyed it, tag us on social media and let us know your favorite takeaway.

Probst, Carsten www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Fazit

In a Paris hospital delivery room, Thomas Chatterton Williams, writer for The Atlantic and author of Self-Portrait in Black and White, held his newborn daughter for the first time. Blonde hair. Blue eyes. And in that instant, everything he thought he knew about race shattered.Thomas lives the questions about race and identity that most of us only debate. The son of a Black father who grew up under Jim Crow and a white mother, he had accepted America's racial categories without question. Until he couldn't.What he decided is radical. Controversial. And will challenge how you think about identity, George Floyd, and the categories we use to define ourselves.

Are you excessively tired with your hair falling out, nails always breaking, brain often foggy or sometimes, despite having youth on your side, maybe forgetting how to form a sentence? These are amongst the symptoms of iron deficiency, often underdiagnosed. Nuala McGovern will be speaking to Dr Sue Pavord, Consultant Haematologist and President of the British Society for Haematology, and freelance journalist Rose Stokes.The Royal College of Pathologists say that a shortage of consultants means that "1 in 5 families are now waiting 6 months or more, and some longer than 12 months" for post mortems. The 'paediatric and perinatal pathology workforce' report said there were no paediatric or perinatal pathology consultants in the South West, the Midlands or Northern Ireland. Dr Clair Evans, the chair of the college's advisory committee - a Consultant Paediatric and Perinatal pathologist explains the situation further. At lunchtime on Wednesday the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves, will unveil her much anticipated second budget. How could this budget affect the lives of women in 2026? We're joined by the BBC's Cost of Living correspondent Colletta Smith, to talk us through what we might see in the red briefcase on Wednesday. A self-portrait by Frida Kahlo has just sold for $55 million in New York. It is the highest price ever paid for a work by a female artist. To illustrate the magnitude of the difference, a painting by Klimt was also sold recently for $236m. Professor Renee Adams is a professor of finance at Oxford Saïd business school and researches the role of gender in the art market, where women's works generally achieve much lower values. She explains why and what needs to change. As part of the BBC 2 Civilisations series, tonight's programme looks at the rise and fall of the Aztec Empire and the part that a young woman played in its demise. She was called Malintzin and acted as translator at the momentous first meeting in 1519 between Montezuma, the ruler of the vast Aztec Empire, and the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés. To find out more about Malintzin and her role in Mexican history and culture Nuala is joined by Dr Elizabeth Baquedano, from the Institute of Archaeology at University College London and Dr Jessica Fernández de Lara Harada from the University of Oxford.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey

This episode, we are thrilled to be joined by the artist William Kentridge. Born in 1955 in Johannesburg, South Africa - a city where he also now lives and works - William grew up under the pall of Apartheid. This experience deeply informs his practice, which frequently questions the historical record and examines the inequities and absurdities of our world.Working across multiple media, he combines drawing, writing, film, performance, and other collaborative practices to create works of art that are grounded in history, yet maintain a space for contradiction and uncertainty.In one of his now-signature techniques, William photographs his charcoal drawings and paper collages over time, recording scenes as they evolve. Working without a script or storyboard, he plots out each animated film, preserving every addition and erasure. This is visible, for instance, in the series Self Portrait as a Coffee Pot, which William launched on the online streaming service MUBI last year. In this nine-part series, he opens the doors to his Johannesburg studio to lay bare his creative process, reflecting on culture, history, and political memory as he does so.William's genre defying talents have also led him to create operas and theatrical productions since the 1990s. Of his many productions, we've been lucky to see a few, including his 2010 production for the Metropolitan Opera of Shostakovich's The Nose, as well as his 2023 production in Paris of "Waiting for the Sibyl."William's work has been exhibited in museums around the world, including the MoMA in New York, the Albertina in Vienna, the Louvre in Paris, and the Royal Academy of Arts in London, among many others. He is also, of course, in the collections of major museums across the globe. Most recently, here in New York, William presented a solo exhibition at Hauser and Wirth titled, “A Natural History of the Studio.”William is represented by Hauser and Wirth and Goodman Galleryhttps://www.hauserwirth.com/artists/william-kentridge/https://goodman-gallery.com/artists/william-kentridgeFollow us on Instagram for episode updates and exclusive behind the scenes content https://www.instagram.com/artfromtheoutsidepodcastSome artists discussed in this episodeHenri MatisseAlberto GiacomettiJackson PollockJacques Lecoq

What happened between the election of the first black president in 2008 and the reelection of Donald Trump in 2024 that's led to "the age of certainty and the demise of discourse"? Well, as the brilliant writer Thomas Chatterton Williams recounts in his new book, there was the SUMMER OF OUR DISCONTENT. In this episode, we get to sit down with Thomas—staff writer at The Atlantic and also author of Losing My Cool and Self-Portrait in Black and White. We explore race, identity, cancel culture, and the importance of preserving liberal values in a polarized society. What We Discuss: How Thomas's biracial upbringing shapes his worldview The story behind the “Letter on Justice and Open Debate” in Harper's What happened with the Poetry Foundation and cancel culture Why “moral clarity” can be dangerous when journalism becomes activism How 2020's protests shaped national politics and the rise of MAGA Episode Highlights: [00:01:00] Thomas shares the story of his parents' interracial marriage [00:07:00] Growing up in a household full of debate and thick skin [00:09:00] Drafting and publishing the Harper's letter and its backlash [00:13:00] The Poetry Foundation controversy and institutional capture [00:25:00] Why “moral clarity” fails when we don't agree on morality [00:39:00] The link between 2020 protests and January 6th [00:45:00] Can Democrats win the center—and what candidates can break through? [00:48:00] The toxic effects of social media on how we see each other Featured Quotes: "You can't really have social justice without tolerance for viewpoint diversity." – Thomas Chatterton Williams "No one agrees on what's morally clear. That's why objectivity still matters." – Thomas Chatterton Williams "People don't talk that way in person. Social media strips us of our ability to imagine someone's humanity." – Corey Nathan Resources Mentioned: The Summer of Our Discontent by Thomas Chatterton Williams: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/704632/summer-of-our-discontent-by-thomas-chatterton-williams/ Harper's Letter: https://harpers.org/a-letter-on-justice-and-open-debate/ Thomas's work at The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/author/thomas-chatterton-williams/ Thomas on IG: www.instagram.com/chattertonwilliams Thomas on Twitter: x.com/thomaschattwill
