Podcasts about Sybil Ludington

A 16-year-old Dutchess County, NY girl rode a horse in pouring rain for 40 miles to rally area militia to come to the aid of Danbury, CT which was under siege by the British during the Revolutionary War. At least, that's the legend of Sybil Ludington. But, not all professional historians sign-off on the tale, due to scant written evidence. Now, a retired teacher says he has found proof that shows that Sybil made the ride. Hear the story with Vince Dacquino.

Many humans also involved, including Philipstown director The future of AI-animated film is here - but there are still some kinks that will be resolved when today's leading-edge technology eventually becomes obsolete. Philipstown filmmaker Lynn Rogoff, who has watched computer-driven movies and video games evolve for 30 years, wrote and directed the first episodes of a new historical series, Bird Woman: Sacajawea, which has already earned an armload of awards and began streaming this month at Familytime.tv. This is no press-a-button-and-the-magic-occurs process, she says. The feature expanded the capabilities of artificial technology by combining three software tools to create somewhat lifelike historical avatars that speak. "Getting characters to talk is very hard for AI, so this is a milestone," says Rogoff. "We're the first team to combine these applications. When we sent the film to [one of the developers], they were shocked because they thought their product would be used as an enterprise solution, like selling homes on the internet." Here, the focus is on influential figures in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, including Sacajawea's baby, nicknamed "Pompy." Behind the historical talking (and cooing) heads, backgrounds convey vivid natural dreamscapes and dramatic action scenes that explore the journey's inherent clash of cultures. Something always moves onscreen as the characters deliver their lines, and the look is designed to mimic video games, says Rogoff. The story germinated 20 years ago as a script. Other human elements include voice actors, a haunting flute song, a score crafted by a composer, an orchestration of the score, illustrators, editors, historians and Rogoff's directing. "Everyone wanted to work on this because no one ever combined music audio, dialogue and special effects in this medium," she says. For two decades, Rogoff tried to drum up funding for a video-graphic portrait of Sacajawea, a teenager who guided the federally sponsored expedition from 1804 to 1806 through the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean and back, infant in tow. But timing is everything. Now, the atmosphere for the film is more receptive due to the Me-Too feminist movement and a newfound interest in telling stories from diverse communities, Rogoff says. The reboot started at the Butterfield Library in Cold Spring, where Rogoff revisited the historical record with help from librarians Jane D'Emic and Pat Turner. Then, she headed to her cabin in the woods with the goal of time-traveling to the early 1800s and conveying Sacajawea's perspective. Rogoff spends winters in Manhattan, where she teaches communications at the New York Institute of Technology. The school provided a grant to develop chatbot characters from the film to answer questions in real-time (in English and Spanish), drawing from their uploaded knowledge base that includes the film's script, journals from the expedition and other heavy texts and documents. Though mature in places (it's rated TV-PG), the project skews toward an educational market and attempts to make history entertaining for people who chafe at processing names, dates and facts, says Rogoff, an alum of PBS shows Sesame Street and Big Blue Marble. In the 1990s, she started a nonprofit called Amerikids Productions and worked with then-revolutionary blue screen technology after McGraw-Hill commissioned Pony Express Rider, a history-themed game that delivered doses of information in a palatable format. Amerikids are icons whose claim to fame occurred during their childhood or teen years, including Sybil Ludington, who was 16 when she made her famous 1777 ride through what is now Putnam County to warn that the British were coming, says Rogoff. Beyond extending AI's capability to create characters who speak and make credible facial expressions, the film breaks the technology's four-second barrier. "AI doesn't understand the human body, so after four seconds, legs get weird and fingers kind of disappear," says...

We all know about the midnight ride of Paul Revere at the onset of the Revolution. But what about Sybil Ludington, the female Raul Revere? She was just 16 years old when she made her little-known 40-mile ride to warn about approaching British troops in Connecticut.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's free story comes from the FIFTY: The Stars, the States, and the Stories collection. It's called "Connecticut: My Daughter Can."   In 1777, two years after Paul Revere made his historic evening ride to Concord, Massachusetts, 16-year-old Sybil Ludington had a similar experience — though hers was twice as long, took all night, and was during a terrible storm. Her ride was to alert patriot farmers to gather at her father's home where they would set off the following morning to defend Danbury Connecticut from the British army.   If you enjoyed that story, there are hundreds and hundreds more where that came from.

Today we are talking about one of the most revolutionary forces in America — teenage girls. Throughout history, teenage girls have consistently stood on the frontlines for change. At 16, Sybil Ludington outran Paul Revere in warning American troops of the impending threat of the British. At 15, Barbara Johns staged a school boycott that helped initiate Brown v. Board of Education. At 19, Heather Tobis tried to help herself and other girls around her navigate a pre-Roe world by starting Jane — a clandestine network that connected young women with access to safe abortions. Never heard of these girls? Yeah, neither had we. The achievements and contributions of girls and young women are often under-recorded and dismissed. A new book, "Young and Restless: the Girls who Sparked America's Revolutions," by Mattie Kahn interrupts this cycle of erasure. Mattie brings to the forefront girls' and young women's trail-blazing activism, from the labor movement of the late 19th century to the fight against climate change now. Author, writer, and editor Mattie Kahn joins us today to talk about the revolutionary power of girls, the challenges they face, and how they rise up consistently to meet the moment.

You know, we develop cold feet from time to time. Would it work? Would it not work? What becomes of me if it doesn't work & my fears are established? This episode of Baseline Bit is about Courage. It is said that "Courage is not the absence of fear & that courageous people have the same feelings like we have & that they do feel fear." I love this quote by Jim Hightower, "The opposite for courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow!" This got every bit of my attention. Ever heard of Sybil Ludington? Those familiar with American history can relate. She is largely recognized as a heroine of the American Revolutionary War. Maroon 5 & Cardi B also feature. Enjoy this episode & let is spur you into some action!

Join us on the pod today as we tell you about the stories of two amazing women in American history. You'll learn about the second Paul Revere who rode her horse all through the night for over 40 miles which is more than three times further than Revere rode that one night in history. Her name was Syil Ludington and she was just 17 years old. Our next story is all about a girl who ran to catch a train and caught the eye of her school's track coach. The only problem? It was 1926 and girls didn't run track. Elizabeth "Betty" Robinson was too fast to ignore and quickly became the fastest woman in the world at the 1928 Olympic Games. Her story doesn't end there though, because she had another Olympic run in her future but not before battling incredible odds to get there. Sources: https://www.wbur.org/onlyagame/2017/12/08/betty-robinson-fire-on-the-trackhttps://www.runnersworld.com/uk/training/motivation/a26747820/who-is-betty-robinson/https://www.battlefields.org/learn/biographies/sybil-ludingtonhttps://www.britannica.com/biography/Sybil-LudingtonSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TSWFpod)

In today’s episode we discuss Sybil Ludington’s Midnight Ride during the American Revolution.

Do children collect stamps anymore? Sandi's managed to unearth her own childhood collection, many of which are depictions of the American Civil War.This inspired a quest through the bookshelves to unearth and re-account some heroic - and largely overlooked - tales of women during that time. As a 16 year old girl, Sybil Ludington, took-on the task of riding 40 miles across the land, at the dead of night to warn of the approaching enemy troops. Whilst Sybil's story is passed-over in favour of that of a male who only rode half the distance, it leads Sandi to ponder, who gets to decide who the heroes are? We also get to hear about another brave, clever young woman, whose story has been immortalised - but almost completely inaccurately - there's even evidence to suggest that Pocahontas wasn't her real name.Take care, be kind...We Will Get Past This.

In this service Susan will present what she learned when she agreed to write the libretto for an opera about Sybil Ludington, a hero of the American Revolution. How stepping out of our comfort zones and accepting new challenges can lead to spiritual growth. (10/13/2019)

Female power is real and has been saving our country's ass for centuries. Learn how on this week's episode.

Nearly everyone has heard of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. That's mainly because Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote a poem about it soon after it happened. But far fewer people know that two years later a sixteen-year-old girl rode much farther of rougher roads. Alone and unarmed, Sybil Ludington raced through the night for freedom.

Sybil Ludington nearly disappeared into history. Her story was finally told in 1907 when her Great Nephew told of her heroic ride through the night to gather nearly 400 militia men to stand against the British army.

We have some heroine of the American Revolutionary Way and a French playwright and political activist.

Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of a lovely feminine Paul Revere... Marla R. Miller and Paula D. Hunt discuss Sybil Ludington, material culture, and American mythmaking. Although there is no primary evidence supporting Sybil’s historic ride, she has become an increasingly popular figure tied to the American Revolution. This conversation was recorded on March 30, 2015.  Correction: At (28:41), it was the Connecticut NOW (National Organization for Women) that sponsored the Sybil Ludington Young Feminist Award. Check out Paula D. Hunt's article, “Sybil Ludington, the Female Paul Revere: The Making of a Revolutionary War Heroine,” from the June 2015 issue of The New England Quarterly. Contributors: Marla R.

You've heard of the ride of Paul Revere? Well, he wasn't the only one! Here is the true story of Sybil Ludington, a young girl from New York and an American hero of the Revolutionary War. Happy 4th of July!

In this episode, Katie interviews Julia Carpenter, Washington Post writer/editor and creator of daily newsletter A Woman to Know. Every day, A Woman to Know tells its subscribers the story of an impactful woman from history that they've probably never heard of. Katie and Julia discuss why the newsletter was started, some of Julia's favorite unknown women history figures (you know Paul Revere but do you know Sybil Ludington, people?!), recommendations for fantastic books about women, why we've heard so few of women's stories in history class, and how we might change that in the future. 

These are six (more) subjects frequently requested by listeners, but that aren't really workable as stand-alone episodes for one reason or another.

Angela Duckworth, Associate Professor of Psychology at Penn, not only studies grit, she epitomizes it. She has doggedly researched the concept for a decade. Despite what may appear to be over the top determination, even obsessiveness, those with the quality are unusually down-to-earth. They're that rare breed who has their head in the clouds but their feet on the ground, which, surprisingly, means that Spartan Race co-founder Joe Desena may not be so crazy after all.  Watch the video episode at http://spartanuppodcast.com   Lessons:1. Sustaining passion and endurance over time (years) is essentially the definition of grit.2. People who are gritty have a cognitive mindset to focus on things that they can change. They are positive and optimistic.3. Always remember that no great human achievement exists that doesn't have thousands of hours of work behind it. Panel Notes:Joe Desena: Do you know what grit is? Do you have it? Have you ever quit anything and regretted it? Well, Angela has been studying grit for a long time and knows how important it is as a predictor of success. If you don't have it, get some. Col. Nye:  Grit is sustained passion over a length of time for a singular long term goal.  There is an environmental component. It’s not just genetics. It can be developed.  Gritty people have a cognitive mindset to focus on what they can change and screen out that which they cannot.Sefra Alexandra:  In 1777, sixteen-year-old Sybil Ludington rode through the night on horseback to alert American Colonial forces of the British’s approach completing a similar feat as Paul Revere’s, yet covering twice the distance Revere travelled by herself without getting captured. This, by any standard, personifies grit. Professor Duckworth will explain why.

We all know the story of Paul Revere, but here is the lesser-known story of one teenage girl whose similar act of bravery changed the course of American history.

Everyone knows about Paul Revere, but did you know a sixteen year old girl did the same thing he did, except better? We learn about Sybil Ludington in this week’s episode of Did This Happen?!
