In this episode of History 102, Rudyard Lynch and Erik Torenberg are joined by Bismarck Analysis's Samo Burja (podcast host: Live Players) to uncover the hidden threads connecting ancient Babylon to Silicon Valley. Did you know that 2,500 years ago, people complained about information overload just like we do today? Or that some civilizations saw 70% of their population enslaved? Rudyard and Samo peel back the layers of history, revealing: The shocking similarities between ancient Athens and the Taliban Why California might be birthing new religions as we speak How deforestation toppled empires (and why it matters now) From psychedelic Greek philosophers to the eerie parallels between Polish-Lithuanian and Cambodian history, this episode is a mind-bending tour of humanity's greatest triumphs and strangest quirks.

Folks are "accidentally" killing people on "suspicion" of transporting beef, an old uncle is bullied by dudes on a moving train, elite schools are banning non-veg tiffin boxes & kids think Kalki 2898 AD is based on history-- in the middle of this social breakdown, your therapist asks you to ground yourself by touching grass. Welcome to hell!

While we watch our society begin to break down around us, do you ever wonder what the solution is to all of this? In this message we see God's instruction for us and what part we can play as believers in a broken society.

Welcome to the season five premiere of Post-Growth Australia Podcast. What better way to launch our new season than with Rob Dietz, co-host of Crazy Town Podcast, (https://www.resilience.org/crazy-town-podcast/) perhaps the standard bearer of degrowth themed podcasts. (Rob Dietz). Rob is the Programs Director of Post Carbon Institute (https://www.postcarbon.org/) (PCI). A brilliant public speaker and story teller, Rob talks us through the journey of Crazy Town Podcast, which he co-hosts with colleagues Asher Miller (https://www.postcarbon.org/our-people/asher-miller/)and Jason Bradford (https://www.postcarbon.org/our-people/jason-bradford/). He also discusses the other initiatives and campaigns run by PCI, in addition to his unique vision of a Post-Growth future. (Crazy Town's Logo). We asked Rob to share two of his favourite Crazy Town Podcast Episodes that are linked below. We do warn you, that once you start listening to Crazy Town, you might not be able to stop! Episode 34. Fear of Death and Climate Denial, or… the Story of Wolverine and the Screaming Mole of Doom (https://www.resilience.org/stories/2021-03-25/fear-of-death-and-climate-denial-or-the-story-of-wolverine-and-the-screaming-mole-of-doom-episode-34-of-crazy-town/) Episode 60. Chillin' and Killin': How Air Conditioning Has Altered Human Behavior and the Environment (https://www.resilience.org/stories/2022-06-16/chillin-and-killin-how-air-conditioning-has-altered-human-behavior-and-the-environment-episode-60-of-crazy-town/) Rob would also like us to share PCI's report: “Welcome to the Great Unraveling: Navigating the Polycrisis of Environmental and Social Breakdown (https://www.postcarbon.org/publications/welcome-to-the-great-unraveling/).” It is quality reading and we are pleased that it is making ripples. The song of choice for this episode is ‘Safe Room (https://shockoctopus.bandcamp.com/track/safe-room)' from host Michael Bayliss' band ‘Shock Octopus (https://shockoctopus.bandcamp.com/album/a-decade-into-darkness).' First released in 2011, its apocalyptic tale – of a world that has become so impacted that even the billionaires who created the mess in the first place have no safe place to hide – is becoming all the more prophetic a decade later. Michael and co-host Mark have had our music recently played on the Freedom of Species radio show, here (https://www.3cr.org.au/freedomofspecies/episode/how-can-we-be-effective-advocates-bees) and here (https://www.3cr.org.au/freedomofspecies/episode/orca-revolution-why-are-orcas-attacking-boats-iberian-peninsula) respectively. (The iconic cover of the 'Safe Room' single). We are also excited by the fact that Rob presented at an online Degrowth conference run by New Economy Network Australia (NENA). PGAP has interviewed NENA's convenor Michelle Maloney twice. The video of Rob's talk can be watched here. (https://www.neweconomy.org.au/event/crazy-town-mid-week-sanity-preserving-degrowth-hilarity/#more-9711) Your co-hosts Michael Bayliss and Mark Allen are pleased to be back for season five of Post-Growth Australia Podcast. We hope you like the cosmetic changes of this episode (graphics courtesy of Squeaky Pea Designs with photos from Photographica). We are looking forward to another season of quality guests and topics. We have not been idle during our break. You may, for example wish to have a gander at two of our recent published articles, including: “Economic reform vital to solving housing crisi (https://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/economic-reform-vital-to-solving-housing-crisis,17646)s” - Mark Allen for Independent Australia “POPULATION GROWTH AND WEALTH INEQUALITY ARE MORE ENTWINED THAN WE THOUGHT: HERE'S WHY (https://www.populationmedia.org/the-latest/population-growth-and-wealth-inequality-are-more-entwined-than-we-thought-heres-why)” – Michael Bayliss for Population Media Center blog. We hit our record monthly listens twice in season four and with your word of mouth we can extend our outreach even further for season five.

Is health a privilege or a right? As a society, how do we come to understand health and its social origins and outcomes? Though medicine has been understood as a social science that dates back to Hippocrates–the Hippocratic Oath–medical sociology is not even 70 years old yet! The climb to intellectual legitimacy and sound research is recent. When it comes to matters of stress, food, doctor-patient interactions, racism and sexism, medical sociologists have a lot to say and a lot to do…come join us as The Social Breakdown begins its journey in everything health!

Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn, and Al discuss the original 1883 freaky children's story and consider the recent rush of film versions, from a new Disney/Robert Zemikis CGI take to Guillermo del Toro's stop-motion passion project to a heavily costumed Italian version by Matteo Garrone.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On Duties (De Officiis), which presents a largely Stoic view on ethics, virtues, relationships, and duties or moral obligations Specifically it examines his short discussion about how faction or partisan divisions arise within a society. Generally, this takes place because those involved in government give priority to their own individual good or the good of a part of the community, over the common good. Cicero also discusses "electioneering" - a common practice in the century leading up to the fall of the Roman Republic - and how it can be problematic. He sets out rules for how a person ought to engage their political rivals and opponents - treating them as common members of their shared society, rather than as enemies.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, the time when everything turns pink! We here at The Social Breakdown wanted to remind everyone with breasts (pssst– we ALL have ‘em!) to do all the needed check ups: self-exams, ultrasounds, and mammograms! So, here is a re-released episode from last year (2021), where we discussed how our team was especially hit hard by breast cancer. (Ellen is still in remission! Yay!) So, for us and for you, please get yourself checked out and remind your loved ones to do so, too!

We at The Report Card are on summer break this week, so we are re-upping one of our favorite episodes from the past year: Bleakness in American Schooling with Robert Pondiscio. Over the past few years, American schooling has been on a bumpy road. COVID-19 is the most obvious issue here, but it's not only that. As https://www.aei.org/profile/robert-pondiscio/ (Robert Pondiscio) argued in the March edition of https://www.commentary.org/articles/robert-pondiscio/american-schooling-bleak-broken/ (Commentary), American schools have become overcome by bleakness. "We want children to grapple with 'honest history' starting in elementary school and to discover the power of their voices by writing authentic essays about their personal problems. Small wonder, then, that children are more depressed and medicated than ever before. A half-century of psychological research indicates that our beliefs about the world shape behavior and our sense of well-being. Whether one views the world as good or bad, safe or dangerous, enticing or dull, is correlated with outcomes such as life satisfaction or depression. We may think that we are doing children a good service by being 'real' with them, refusing to spare them from the unpleasant facts of the tired world they will soon inherit, thus inspiring them to seize the day and set the world right. But strong evidence is emerging that we are mostly succeeding in creating a generation of overwhelmed young people paralyzed into learned helplessness." In this episode, Nat and Robert discuss this bleakness—its sources, its effects, and how we might overcome it.

Welcome to The Know Show. This week our theme is about free speech, following weeks of news, conversations, passions, outrage and more. The news around Spotify and Joe Rogan broke when 270 health experts stated Joe Rogan's Covid misinformation is ‘a sociological issue of devastating proportions.'But what are the right steps forward? Is free speech something we should be challenging? Where does it stop? What will we lose? How do we manage this important issue, especially in times of a global pandemic, as well as the other crisis' humanity faces, including the climate emergency? When does someone go too far? Who decides that limit? It's a big, wide topic, and we don't have all the answers, but it's a conversation we need to be having. No special guests this week, as our guest is struck down with a bad reaction to her booster, but she'll join us soon. The Know Show is a Livestream held every Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade (Tim is away this week) and Joe Augustin review the news that's getting everyone's attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We'll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters to all of us. The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, which are published every Saturday on andreatedwards.com, and covers the climate crisis, Covid 19, topical moments in the world, global politics, business, social issues and passion/humor/history. Join us. #TheKnowShow #UncommonCourage

Welcome to The Know Show. This week our theme is trust and the cycle of distrust, following the release of Edelman's Trust Barometer, now in its 22nd year. Trust is a cornerstone issue of our time, and working out how we can regain trust across our societies is paramount if we have any chance of solving the greatest challenges the world faces. The two organisations with the least trust are governments and the media. We'll dig into the report, discuss the key findings, possible solutions, and we're thrilled to welcome Phillipa Edwards, (yes, Andrea's sister) also an avid news reader and someone who cares deeply about facing up to the challenges in our societies, so we can solve them!The Know Show is a Livestream held every Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade (Tim is away this week) and Joe Augustin review the news that's getting everyone's attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention.

In this episode, Eric Kohn sits down with Yuval Levin, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and editor-in-chief of National Affairs, to discuss his new article featured in The Dispatch, "The Changing Face of Social Breakdown." Levin notices a strange cultural trend. Although things may look great from a mere statistical perspective, something more ominous is going on in the background. Levin writes: “This mix of seemingly good and bad news is no paradox. The good news is often just one consequence of the bad. There are fewer divorces because there are fewer marriages. … There are fewer abortions because there are fewer pregnancies. … There are fewer out-of-wedlock births because there are fewer births in general. … Fewer teenagers are dying in car accidents because fewer teenagers are getting driver's licenses. There is less social disorder, we might say, because there is less social life. We are doing less of everything together, so that what we do is a little more tidy and controlled.” Subscribe to our podcasts About Yuval Levin "The Changing Face of Social Breakdown" by Yuval Levin Report | The Divided State of Our Unions See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Chris’ evolution as a Singer, Songwriter, Producer, Executive Producer and Artist, all lead to him becoming an on-air personality as the creator and visionary of Chris Epps Presents… on Atlanta’s Hott R&B Station Hott923 on iHeartRadio.Born and raised in New York, he lived in Jacksonville, Florida for a number years where he honed his musical ability as a singer, songwriter, & producer, releasing in 2011 his debut LP entitled “Here I Am…”.  At the height of promoting his debut LP, he shared stages with The Clark Sisters, CeCe Winans, Donald Lawrence & Co., Leandria Johnson, The Legendary Dorothy Norwood, Jessica Reedy, Melonie Daniels, & a host of other notable Artists. As a creative, he further expanded his musical footprint as a songwriter, executive producing BET’s Sunday Best Finalist Jamarien Moore debut EP entitled “I’ll Go”. After relocating to Atlanta, Georgia just three years prior, in 2017 Chris created an all-male panel web-series talk show entitled “The Social Breakdown”. After the web-series gained notable traction, as a collective were offered a weekly broadcast radio show! However, within the initial six months of broadcasting “The Social Breakdown” dissolved amicably. Immediately upon the show being dissolved, Chris was approached by the Hott923 Program Director and offered his own spin-off known today as Chris Epps Presents… on Atlanta’s Hott R&B Station Hott923 on iHeartRadio! Music being his first love, the show intentionally features the best in R&B, Soul, Hip-Hop music from legends like The First Lady of R&B, Faith Evans to musical underground movement artist like Tank and The Bangas and all facets in between laced with compelling subject matters, conversations and hott topics w/his co-host and/or featured guest between the musical breaks.

So, the first episode of our #BlackLivesMatter miniseries is about the BLM movement itself. Who created it? How is it organized? What is BLM calling for? And why should you not say, “But, but, don't All Lives Matter??” Tune in here to learn more.

Today's episode of The Annex discusses Internet mob justice in the face of unsolved crimes. We ask what happens when the Internet tries to solve an urgent crime through collaborations on social media and Internet forums. Our guest is Penn Pantumsinchai from the University of Hawaii. Penn published "Armchair detectives and the social construction of falsehoods: an actor–network approach" in Information, Communication, and Society. She also co-hosts a sociology podcast called The Social Breakdown, which we covered earlier this year.

This week, the ladies of the Social Breakdown get together for a breakaway episode on the history of Black Friday and the many sociological purposes of holiday shopping.

For our last show of our first academic year, we're giving you a behind the scenes look into The Social Breakdown. We talk about the podcast's origins, our recording and editing set up, how we prepare for each episode, and most importantly, what are our styles and approaches to impression management? Is there a difference between our front stage and back stage “self” when we are hosting!? (Spoiler alert: OF COURSE THERE IS!) Two quick notes before we go for summer break: 1) THANK YOU for all the amazing support, emails, and listening. We're touched and honored and happy and… the list goes on. 2) We are on summer break until August, but will be releasing random episodes every now and then. Also, you can always reach us on FB, Twitter, and through our website (www.thesocialbreakdown.com). So, don't be shy! And have a fantastic summer!

Like all living things, humans are creatures of habit, routine, and-- most importantly-- learned and patterned behavior. So this week, the Social Breakdown team has the interesting task of teasing out difference between the socialized and patterned behaviors of conformity and obedience. We use Stanley Milgram's shock experiment to understand how obedience plays into social roles, status, and hierarchies. Also, how do culture and institutions affect this social phenomena? Join us for the conversation!

We're back to the deep and dark web! This week we're looking at the positive (and innocuous) aspects of the dark web. While it may be a place for illicit trade, the dark web is also a space for free speech and anonymity, and people are taking advantage of this by creating anonymous social networking sites and speaking out (and whistleblowing) on important issues. Tune in to hear us discuss the power and moral implications of being able to be anonymous online!   Head to our website (www.thesocialbreakdown.com) to find the sources we cited in the episode and help us do a short survey. Click the "Survey for Swag" tab, fill it out (it's short!), and we'll send you a Social Breakdown sticker in the mail. Thanks!

The SB team have been busy giving you new episodes each week over the course the academic year, but as most of you are well aware... SPRING BREAK IS HERE! And we need a break. So, this week will be a mini episode where we give some recommendations on sociological WATCHING for you to do while we're on vacation for a couple weeks. (Still read books though!) We will be back on April 4th, so we won't be gone for too long. Also-- don't forget to do our survey on our website www.thesocialbreakdown.com and we'll send you some Social Breakdown gear.

The Social Breakdown team is at it again! This time we're talking about the myths of the model minority. It's important to break down this myth, because we live in a world of identity politics where we fight over who gets to speak for whom and how we represent ourselves within institutions. Who is the model minority, and how did this term come to be? What social pressures defy or reproduce stereotypes? And what problems does this myth create for other people of color? Join us in our conversation on the model minority and the taken-for-granted notions of this myth. We have our eyes on you, Silicon Valley!
