Podcasts about southern illinoisan

Who on this show enjoys eating wood? Who calls 911 when their relatives eat all the ice cream? It's a good day to be a Southern Illinoisan. Well, in a way.

She's a mom at my school, and I didn't even know it! Maybe I need to open my eyes more, look up in the hallway and make an effort to know the parents around me. Many of us are so much more than what we see on the surface. Not only are we balancing the biggest job of raising kids, but some of us are keeping massive companies thriving, a family legacy alive and a mindset of both progression and tradition. Listen as this Southern Illinoisan talks about the importance of challenging yourself, how volleyball goes from sport to business, marrying an Abercrombie model and professional beach volleyball player, the utility of a stay-at-home husband, homeschooling and running the 5th generation of furniture stores. Most commonly known as Ashley Furniture, Ellen walks us through the evolution and success of this now household name. Glad to meet you, Ellen, you are a shining example of how to create a balance between professional and personal success.I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor, Pixels by Emily's Magical Santa Experience!

I finally meet the multi-talented, teacher, musician, YMCA Body Attack King and hair God, Ryan Groff. Ryan has been on my potential list since the beginning of the podcast as a male "gotta" interview. Listen as this Southern Illinoisan talks about his crossover from jock to rock, teaching all musical abilities through tons of instruments over 60 lessons a week, the current status of the popular musical group, Elsinore, and the inception of the local Modern Drugs Band, building a backyard studio from the ground up, how to handle musical instruments with your kiddos and my son's sudden interest with the LARGEST instrument EVER.  Ryan is the most pleasant human on earth. YOU must LISTEN TO THE END for the EXCLUSIVE on his latest acoustic creation.I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor, Health In Harmony. Health In Harmony is located at Lincoln Square in Urbana.

December 8 was the last day for the staff of The Southern Illinoisan. Its new owner, Paxton Media Group, eliminated the entire staff of unionized workers. The decision blindsided its longtime workers, and marks the end of an era. Former editor-in-chief Jackson Brandhorst discusses what happened at The Southern, what's been lost, and where the paper's former journalists and staff go from here.

"The World Bank and its president have been doing an important, constructive job the past five years," announced The Southern Illinoisan in 1973. "IMF assistance [has] put Jamaica well on the road to recovery," reported The Winnipeg Sun in 1982. The Trans-Pacific Partnership “could be a legacy-making achievement” for Barack Obama, The New York Times suggested in 2015. These are the dominant narratives surrounding so-called "development" initiatives, whether structural adjustment loans or "free trade" deals. Agreements like these, we're often told, have been and continue to be essential to the economic maturation and societal improvement of poor countries. Countries that shift from nationalized to privatized industry and land, so called liberalize trade policies, and institute a host of other free-market reforms are destined for greater efficiency, reduced poverty, and that much-coveted "Seat At The Table" in the global economy. But, all too often, this isn't the effect of these initiatives. What we don't tend to hear about is how economic development "agreements" engineered by wealthy countries like the US — e.g., IMF loans, NAFTA, or the TPP — don't promote, but rather reverse, the development of exploited countries. Media minimize not only these initiatives' destructive effects on economies, labor, and social programs in service of U.S. corporations, but also their relationship to the punitive U.S. immigration system, and their extensive role in mass global displacement. This episode – the last installment of our three-part series on media narratives about immigration (listen to Part I here and Part II here!) – explores the displacing effects of "development" and "free trade" deals, as well as their connection to an increasingly militarized immigration "deterrence" machine, asking why capital is allowed to move freely, but people aren't. Our guest is Dylan Sullivan.

Jonny reviews the "controversy" over Lia Thomas's historic win in NCAA swim competitions. He points out how proposed NCAA regulations (not yet implemented) monitoring trans competitors would run afoul of Texas-like legislation that refuses trans healthcare to teenagers. He then threads the needle about how the assault on trans rights is related to and a permutation of anti-abortion initiatives on the Right. Finally, he reviews the Governor of Idaho's veto of that state's trans-ban for athletes, including the arguments and rationale that accompanied the veto. Jonny reminds all local Southern Illinoisan's that the Trans Day of Visibility rally will be Thursday, March 31st at the Town Square Pavilion--tabling begins at 5, speeches begin at 6, marching down the strip begins at 7. We would love to see you there!

With the pandemic still crawling along, and with so much of the dominant narrative telling us it's over, we thought it would be helpful to have a discussion about the plague. So our good friend, philosopher and writer and editor at Spectre Holly Lewis, joins us to talk disease, capitalism, ideology, and reclaiming our cultural experiences for the sake of resistance and joy. We discuss the repeated assertion the pandemic is over, only to face another surge, another variant, and more deaths, as well as the split between the right-wing, liberal, and a left approach to the virus and what it really would mean to “learn to live with the pandemic.” Also, a faulty computer is deciding people's deaths. Good luck. Articles discussed in this episode: Daniel Sarah Karasik, “Against Pandemic Realism,” Midnight Sun. “Missing Days,” Locust Review, issue 7. (On its way to subscribers mailboxes, also posted on the Locust Review Patreon for subscribers…), Kallie Cox, “Born Again Labor Museum offers free Communist Manifestos,” The Southern Illinoisan. Shirin Ali, “'Huge, huge numbers': insurance group sees death rates up 40 percent over pre-pandemic levels,” The Hill. Book and pamphlets discussed: Albert Camus, The Plague Mike Davis, The Monster Enters: COVID-19, Avian Flu, and the Plagues of Capitalism (Verso, 2022) Hal Draper, The Mind of Clark Kerr (October 1964) Daniel DeFoe, Journal of the Plague Year Mary Shelley, The Last Man Locust Radio is hosted by Tish Turl and Adam Turl, and produced by Alexander Billet and Drew Franzblau.

Episode 13. Yingying Zhang In 2017, a young Chinese student studying abroad in the US abruptly disappeared after missing a bus. Authorities investigating her disappearance discovered that a man on campus noticed her distress and offered her a ride to her destination - making him the last person to ever see her alive.Sources: the Central District of Illinois official complaint (United States of America V.

Today on the podcast I get the chance to speak to Fr. Joseph Brown. Fr. Brown is a Professor in the Department of Africana Studies at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, and is one of our plenum speakers at this year’s NPM Convention.I’ll admit to you that I was humbled to speak to Fr. Brown. I’ve never been so nervous to speak to an interviewee in my life, because this week I learned how much I still need to learn about the racism that pulses through the veins in our country. In the past week my eyes have been opened to how my silence works against the cause of equality and social justice.And so I prepared to sit down with Fr. Brown. I started by reading his interview from the Southern Illinoisan, a local Illinois newspaper. The article mentioned Breonna Taylor and linked back to a news article about her. I read the article related to her being shot eight times in her own home. That article cited the death of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia several weeks prior. I sat and read every article I could, and watched a video breakdown of how Arbery’s death occurred. From there I read more and more articles linked to deaths in the black community that simply shouldn’t have happened.And lastly, I watched the combined footage of George Floyd. I watched it, and then watched it again.From there, my education began. My education into the privilege I inherited as a white woman, and the privilege I hope to use to voice that black lives matter and to help facilitate change.That was the context from where I spoke to Fr. Brown today.Fr. Brown begins the conversation by reflecting on the uprising across the country- and the world- to support the black community and take action towards anti-racist policies and real social change.

Sports writers Todd Hefferman and Braden Fogal tackle the latest local sports issues in today's Little Egypt Sports Podcast. The Illinois High School Association announced Tuesday it would cancel all spring sports championships because of the coronavirus pandemic. It left the door open for some kind of spring sports season if the virus' spread slowed enough where people could safetly gather, but it doesn't seem like that will happen any time soon.  Support your SI community and stay up to date on the latest Southern Illinois sports with a print or digital subscription to the Southern Illinoisan.

Rick Pearson converses with Molly Parker, reporter at the Carbondale-based Southern Illinoisan newspaper, about how the pandemic is affecting deep Southern Illinois and regional resentment. Molly talks about the typical day to day, heightened concerns surrounding the economy, the common feelings of being forgotten and left behind, and more.

Someone, anyone, please tell me why Party in the U.S.A. is stuck in my head. I don’t own that song, but I believe the reason for this is the fact I live in a house with three females and one of them might actually own one of the NOW music CDs. I actually own NOW, when there wasn’t a volume. NOW, Volume 1, which is not its real name, had some rock on it. It also had some sappy late 90s R&B that I fell out of favor with once I discovered how badass Phil Anselmo and Pantera was. Walk on home, boy. This is Short Time Shots, your mostly daily look at the scores and news from the world of wrestling. I’m Jason Bryant. So far, this will be 14 straight episodes. There likely won’t be one on Friday night, since I’ll be covering the Gopher dual and putting out an episode of The Guillotine Grapevine. Maybe I’ll record it on Saturday morning for you guys as you make the last mow of the season, or in some cases, the first snow shovel of the year worth it.  Dual Meets:  Unranked Illinois, fresh off getting beat by Army West Point last weekend, rebounded with a 19-14 win over border rival and 13th ranked Missouri at Francis Howell High School in St. Louis on Thursday night. Missouri did have the services of All-American Grant Leeth at 141, but were without Dylan Wisman at 184. Illinois had key wins at 125 as Justin Cardani beat Dack Punke and then three in a row from 165-184 to take the lead heading into the dual’s final two weights. Freshman heavyweight Luke Luffman prevailed 9-7 over Rodrigo Diaz to give Illinois the upset. Division II Colorado School of Mines shut down Northeastern Junior College 34-9. Also out in Colorado, Western Colorado beat Chadron State 28-13 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.  Elmhurst beat the University of Chicago 33-19 as the Bluejays benefited from three Chicago forfeits. Maroons All-Americans Steve Bonsall and Ben Sarasin were both victorious.  A couple of junior colleges picked up wins over Division III foes - Mercyhurst North East topped Pitt-Bradford 31-18, while Joliet Junior College beat MacMurray 36-18. Lincoln, which is in its first year as an NAIA member after transitioning from a two-year school to a four-year one, also beat MacMurray 34-18. In Georgia, Brewton-Parker, with a hyphen, knocked off Truett McConnell, sans hyphen, 38-12.  Nothing reported from CSU-Pueblo and Otero, Central Baptist and Oklahoma Wesleyan or the two duals out west in the California Community Colleges.  Late Wednesday: Neosho County and head coach Nick Nothern knocked off rival Labette 26-16 in Chanute. That’s action in the NJCAA in case you were wondering. The Panthers swept six bouts between 149 and 197 to take the dual.  GET A FREE MONTH OF PODCAST HOSTING WITH LIBSYN There are approximately 63 active wrestling podcasts out there, with 20 of them on the Mat Talk Podcast Network.

Notables on the Docket for November 15: Super solid Friday night for wrestling: No. 3 Ohio State heads to Pittsburgh to take on the No. 15 Panthers, No. 4 Oklahoma State will have its first dual of the season as it heads to Philly to take on Drexel. No. 6 Minnesota hosts Rider at Williams Arena, I’ll be there for that one, as will BDI. No. 8 Arizona State opens its home slate against Division II Augustana (S.D.), No. 9 NC State hosts Old Dominion, which was ranked last week and fell out of the rankings despite not losing. Same thing happened to Wyoming. Binghamton faces South Dakota State in Sioux Falls, Bucknell heads to Northern Illinois, Division II Simon Fraser faces Oregon State in Tahoma, Washington and Rutgers heads to Fresno State where the Bulldogs are trying to break their own attendance record, looking for 10,000 fans in the SaveMart Center.  Notable matches from other divisions include Ithaca traveling to Stevens Institute, Manchester at Wabash, more news on them in a second, Campbellsville and the first-year program at Arizona Christian facing Embry-Riddle - not at same time, that would be unfair and there’s a doubleheader with the men’s and women’s programs with Southern Oregon going to Portland to face Warner Pacific. Tournament-wise, the Roger Williams Invitational kicks off in Bristol, Rhode Island.  FROM THE DWN: Minnesota profiles senior Carson Brolsma with the now overused Q&A segment called Seven Minutes. The Open Mat actually started that, then Trackwrestling adopted it after TOM stopped doing it. And now we have it in Minnesota. It’s like every column in every wrestling magazine being called The Inside Trip - with apologies to Brando and B-Law with The Inside Trip podcast. End snarky note.  The week will continue with posts from the early signing period. Some schools went all out on day one, while others are trickling out their early classes. While not directly linked in this section, Thursday’s releases are in the newsletter.  We’ve got a new No. 1 in Division III wrestling, mainly because the rankings in the early season released by the Division III Coaches Association are on tournament points. Loras, the preseason No. 1, didn’t lose, but slid one spot to No. 2. This is why tournament rankings are absolute crap UNTIL the postseason. Next week’s rankings, as the release says, will be dual strength. I’d have just held off the team rankings this week, since there was plenty of movement in the individual rankings. Oh, that new No. 1, by the way, the Little Giants of Wabash.  Missouri’s sports information office features alum and UFC fighter Tyron Woodley, while Penn State has an in-house feature on Creighton Edsell, an unlikely small town starter who came up with a win in last week’s dual against Navy.  Flowrestling looks at Fresno State’s drive to break its attendance record and eclipse the 10,000-fan mark in their upcoming dual against Rutgers.  The Predicament goes into the Where Are They Now with the Inside the Rivalry series. Well, where are they now and what are they all doing?  Mason Beckman makes a guest appearance with a preview of the Bill Farrell Memorial on the Home Mat Advantage at 74kg.  TheMat.com gives us the full U.S.-centric Bill Farrell preview as well.  Flowrestling borrows Tim Hands of Five Point Move for their extensive Greco-Roman preview, not paywalled.  Patch.com, a collection of like 1,200 hyperlocal news websites, features Penn State wrestling alum Rohan Murphy and his message to inmates at Suffolk County Correctional Facility. Rohan is an amazing dude. Born with no legs, he’s got a great message to share about perseverance.  The Southern Illinoisan, yes, that is the actual name of the newspaper, featured Carbondale Community High School coach Dennis Ragan and his recent induction into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame via the Illinois chapter. If that name and location lead you to connect some dots - la la la la - then you’re right. It’s Alli’s dad.  And the biggest Bud heavy advocate in wrestling, Willie Saylor, drops an interview on his MatScouts Rokfin channel that Blair Academy’s Travis Mastrogiovanni, the No. 4 recruit in the Class of 2021 is heading to Oklahoma State, where his brother Trevor has also committed.  On The Network With a big weekend upcoming, the #PackMentality Pop-Ins Podcast with host Brian Reinhardt talks with NC State head wrestling coach Pat Popolizio, as well as Jakob Camacho, Tariq Wilson and Hayden Hidlay. Thye host ODU on Friday, the Wolfpack Duals on Saturday and the Wolfpack Wrestling Club Open on Sunday.  PA Power’s college podcast is up and out with Iowa’s Michael Kemerer and a recap of the PA-centric college scores from last week while Five Point Move talks with Jon Anderson of the Army’s World Class Athlete Program, who makes his return to competition at this weekend’s Bill Farrell. Also, Dennis Hall had numerous F-bombs edited out of the show. Dennis gets fired up.  You can get to read those stories and more from Mat Talk Online’s daily wrestling newsletter.

Public Housing is a national shame.  And one of the most shameful cities is Baltimore, MD.  Wretched housing projects, poorly maintained can trap residents in dangerous conditions.  Investigative reporter Molly Parker of Pro Publica and The Southern Illinoisan has been closing the public housing debacle from Baltimore to Hartford to Cairo, Illinois.

Join sports writers Todd Hefferman and Bucky Dent, and Southern Illinoisan sports editor Les Winkeler, as they discuss the legacy of former SIU baseball coach Ken Henderson, the new NCAA 3-point line and where the IHSA should put its one-weekend-only state basketball tournaments in the latest Little Egypt Sports Podcast.

Mice, mold and lead paint. Tenants in Illinois public housing complexes were doing their best to make their conditions more livable. But even after the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development swooped in and seized control, change wasn’t swift. On this week’s episode, Molly Parker, an investigative reporter for the Southern Illinoisan and a member of ProPublica’s Local Reporting Network, walks us through her deep dives into public housing. Her reporting found the federal government failed many of the citizens it was supposed to be sheltering. EPISODE NOTES: bit.ly/2CaEHES
