Podcasts about Taussig

Rebekah Taussig has chronicled her life in a wheelchair – a rewarding experienced that has also proved limiting. Taussig is the author of “Sitting Pretty: The View From My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body,” and she joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why, while she's a champion of disability rights, she worries this has pigeonholed her when she wants to explore so many other topics and possibilities. Her article “I'm a Disabled Woman. Is That My Brand?” was published in Time magazine. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Let's explore the historical development and cultural significance of blood magic. Blood has been used in magical rituals across civilizations, from Mesopotamian and Egyptian rites to Greco-Roman traditions, carrying powerful symbolism tied to life, death, and transformation. We explore the dual nature of blood as a source of vitality and renewal while also representing violence, sacrifice, and mortality. Drawing on key scholarly sources such as the works of Victor Turner, René Girard, and Walter Burkert, this episode examines blood's profound role in ancient and modern magical traditions, including Thelema, Satanic rituals, and chaos magic. Topics covered: - Defining blood magic and its ritual uses - Blood symbolism in Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Greco-Roman traditions - Blood's duality in ancient and modern magical contexts - Medieval witchcraft, blood pacts, and the witch trials - Contemporary practices and ethical considerations CONNECT & SUPPORT

Kunstmalerin Helene von Taussig stellte ihre Bilder in Paris aus, lebte aber abgeschieden in Anif bei Salzburg. Ihr Atelierhaus musste sie 1940 verlassen - sie wurde von den Nationalsozialisten nach Wien ausgewiesen und später nach Polen deportiert. In das Haus zog die Künstlerin Poldi Wojtek ein - bekannt als Gestalterin des Logos der Salzburger Festspiele.  Das lag auch in den Händen ihres Mannes und späteren Exmannes: Kajetan Mühlmann. Der Kunstkritiker, Festspielpropagandaleiter und später SS-Oberführer zog gerne die Fäden für sich und seine Liebsten. Er war an Arisierungen und Kunstbeutezügen beteiligt. Nach dem Krieg arbeitete er mit den US-Alliierten zusammen.   Der Historiker Thomas Pawlowski sucht Nachfahren von Kajetan Mühlmann und seiner späteren Frau Hilde, geborene Ziegler. Sie hatten vier gemeinsame Kinder, sie lebte zeitweise am Attersee, verstarb dann als Hilde Reitter in Salzburg. Diskretion ist garantiert.

“Es la cocaína o, mejor, su prohibición impuesta por los Estados Unidos, la que da forma al país en la actualidad. No hablar de la cocaína, no exhibirla, es como NEGAR la esclavitud”, dice el antropólogo Michael Taussig, autor de los libros Mi museo de la cocaína, Un gigante en convulsiones, EXCLAVITUD Y LIBERTAD en el valle del Río Cauca, entre otros. Escucha su conversación con la traductora y editora Margarita Valencia. Queriendo estudiar la agroindustria en Puerto Tejada, Cauca, se encontró con una historia traumática que debía ser contada, la historia de la esclavitud. Pero también, al conocer la DIVERSIDAD de especies en los cultivos de los antiguos esclavizados, “a años luz de la siembra de soya, caña de azúcar o de otros cultivos completamente dependientes del riego y de agroquímicos”, comprobó que “SÍ ES POSIBLE un mundo alternativo a la explotación del hombre y la naturaleza, y el modelo es la FINCA TRADICIONAL”. Taussig, además, habla de su libro “El diablo y el fetichismo de la mercancía en Sudamérica”, sobre la HISTORIA SOCIAL del diablo desde la conquista española en relación con el capitalismo. Cuenta, por ejemplo, la historia de los pactos secretos que hacían algunos campesinos con el diablo para cortar más caña, a cambio de condenarse a una muerte prematura y a obtener DINERO ESTÉRIL, solo para comprar artículos de lujo —ropas finas, licor, mantequilla y demás— y nunca para formar capital. MICHAEL TAUSSIG se doctoró en Antropología en la Escuela de Economía de Londrés y es profesor en la Universidad de Columbia y la European Graduate School. Ha investigado la comercialización de la agricultura campesina, la esclavitud, el hambre, el impacto del colonialismo sobre el chamanismo, la fabricación del terror, la violencia paramilitar, entre otros. MARGARITA VALENCIA es editora, traductora y crítica literaria. Licenciada en Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de los Andes y magíster en Estudios Políticos de la Universidad Javeriana. Ha sido directora de la editorial de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia y de la Biblioteca Nacional de Colombia.

Three-plus decades after the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed, the built environment remains a maze of obstacles. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one in four Americans live with a disability. Despite what many think, disability isn't a rare experience for only people on the edges of society — and planning for it has collateral benefits that improve quality of life for everyone. Rebekah Taussig, advocate and author of Sitting Pretty: The View From My Ordinary, Resilient, Disabled Body, has been navigating the world from her wheelchair since she was 6 years old. She recalls feeling like everyone else created their own narratives for her life. In this episode of People Behind the Plans we sit down with Taussig before her keynote address at APA's National Planning Conference. She explains how storytelling has allowed her to reclaim the narrative of her own life and help others understand how isolating, cumbersome, unjust, and unsustainable our cities and our culture are for people with disabilities. Listen to hear her vision for a world designed with everyone in mind — not just those considered “average” — and some communication tips for planners trying to build support for their visions.

Carey Benenson Taussig is teaching a NEW course in our online school: Releasing the Shock to the Waters: A Biodynamic Visceral Course for Long Haul Syndromes.A 50 hour online seminar, 4 three-day modulesTimes: 7 am PST, 10 am EST, 3 pm UK, 4 pm European time zoneAll Courses 15 hours over 3 days, 5 Hours min each day, every 5/6 weeks online onlyFebruary 3, 4, 5, 2023March 17, 18, 19, 2023April 28, 29, 30, 2023June 2, 3, 4, 2023https://prenatal-and-perinatal-healin...About the Course:  Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of Osteopathy in 1905 wrote about how diseases such as Diphtheria acted as a sort of shock to the waters in the body which disrupted nerve conduction therefore "tapping off the lymph" and creating fermentation and heat in the system around the organs. Carey Benenson Taussig D.O.(M.P.) a traditionally trained manual Osteopath teaches about how to guide relief to the system as she teaches how to apply biodynamic visceral manipulation techniques and meditative palpation acknowledging the "in-between" spaces between the organs where this bubbling fermentation may be calling for attention. This heat may trigger a continuous over-reactivity of the immune system and slug momentum to the lymphatic system which ultimately disrupts the endocrine system creating often an inflammatory spin.In her teachings, Carey connects with the potency of nature and often refers to the lymphatic system of the forest and the frequency of the bees. As outlined in her article from Massage Magazine, she also teaches students within their scope of practice on how to work with clients both online and in-person as sometimes clients may be in isolation for medical reasons. Offering technique videos and recorded meditations that also help the practitioner support their clientele, this is a four course program that also taps into her work that she did in her specialized studies on Lyme disease that she completed in 2014 which has then grown with her own clinical and meditative work that she has done over the past 8 years.Four Phases will be discussed and outlined in the four courses:The Recognition and Unwinding of the PredispositionThe Moment of Impact and the Reactivity of the MechanismThe Dehydration and Call for Restoration Phase of DiseaseThe Rebuild and Pathway of Care According to the Individual Hive Mind PhilosophyThe Fee is $495 per class, paid for over 4 months. We have a coupon for $50 off the first course for you: https://prenatal-and-perinatal-healin...The Coupon is SALE50 if you find yourself in the online school.

The American Dream is built on the idea that Americans end up roughly where we deserve to be in our working lives based on our efforts and abilities; in other words, the United States is supposed to be a meritocracy. When Americans think and talk about our lives, we grapple with this idea, asking how a person got to where he or she is and whether he or she earned it. In What We Mean by the American Dream: Stories We Tell about Meritocracy (Cornell UP, 2021), Taussig tries to find out how we answer those questions. Weaving together interviews with Americans from many walks of life--as well as stories told in the US media about prominent figures from politics, sports, and business--What We Mean by the American Dream investigates how we think about whether an individual deserves an opportunity, job, termination, paycheck, or fortune. Taussig looks into the fabric of American life to explore how various people, including dairy farmers, police officers, dancers, teachers, computer technicians, students, store clerks, the unemployed, homemakers, and even drug dealers got to where they are today and whether they earned it or not. Taussig's frank assessment of the state of the US workforce and its dreams allows him to truly and meaningfully ask the question that underpins so many of our political debates and personal frustrations: Did you earn it? By doing so, he sheds new light on what we mean by--and how we can deliver on--the American Dream of today. Doron Taussig is Visiting Assistant Professor of Media and Communication Studies at Ursinus College, and a fellow with the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University. Prior to becoming a Professor he was a journalist for ten years. Tom Discenna is Professor of Communication at Oakland University whose work examines issues of academic labor and communicative labor more broadly. Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone is a part of history, no matter how the history books are written. Sometimes, there's a figure you'd think should be all over the history books based upon their accomplishments, but they only stand at the edge of written history book. William Taussig was such a person. Just Press play to hear the whole story. ------ Click on search links to see if there are episodes with related content:  Amanda Clark, Architecture, Engineering, Health and Wellness, Medical, Civil War, People of Note, Politics and Government, Civil Rights,  Podcast Transcript: I'm Amanda Clark, with the Missouri Historical Society, and this is Here's History on eighty eight one, KDHX. ———  Some of the biggest stories in St. Louis history – the 1849 cholera epidemic, the Eads Bridge and Tunnel, the Civil War, the building of Union Station, and more, involve a man named Dr. William Taussig, a name unfamiliar to most. Taussig is one of those who stand just at the edge of the historic record, their extraordinary life stories hidden between the lines of other's biographies. But Taussig's story is one of bravery, strong leadership, and dedication to St. Louis that few can match. ——— Born in Prague, William Taussig arrived in St. Louis in 1847, working first as a chemist and then a physician.  During the 1849 cholera epidemic, he worked directly with sick patients at the city's quarantine station. Two years later, he would be named the first mayor of Carondelet and was an outspoken abolitionist. In 1855, Taussig was aboard a train full of local dignitaries when a bridge collapse caused the cars to plunge into the Gasconade River. The horrific crash would kill over 30 people, including Taussig's brother-in-law, who had been seated next to him. Despite his own injuries, he was able to quickly begin rescuing others, treating the wounded, and help coordinate recovery efforts. ——— During the Civil War, as threats to the city increased, Taussig personally raised the funds to provide for two local regiments when the city could not, and when Confederate marauders attacked the state asylum, Taussig immediately organized a daring rescue mission through enemy territory without military transport, bringing the patients safely back to St. Louis. ——— But Taussig's biggest contribution to St. Louis history would begin when James B. Eads named him chairman of his bold bridge-building project – a role that would require herculean political and financial effort. Taussig devoted the rest of his career to the railroad industry, including the building of the magnificent Union Station in 1892. ——— Here's history is a joint production of the Missouri History Museum and KDHX.  I'm Amanda Clark and this is 88.1 KDHX St. Louis. ———

Landscape designers have a deep understanding of the natural world and how it can be manipulated to create works of beauty. They combine their knowledge with creativity, patience, hard work, and good judgment to design landscape features that are not just aesthetically pleasing but also functional. Derek Taussig has been in the landscaping industry for over a decade. In this episode, he shares his entrepreneurial journey, some secrets to his success, and the consequences of his decisions, such as a failed partnership. Derek is the Owner and Landscape Designer at Taussig Landscape. The company provides landscaping and hardscaping, including patios, irrigation, maintenance for lawn care, and snow management to Manhattan, KS, and the surrounding areas. He spent most of his life growing up here in Manhattan and working in the landscape industry. He started his original lawn care business as a young teen and ran it until 2003. He sold the business and joined the Kansas Army National Guard as a combat medic. He worked at professional landscape companies with nation-building knowledge and experience when not deployed overseas. After eight years in the Guard and numerous deployments, he ended his service to start school at Kansas State University. This was when Taussig Landscape was created in 2011 as a part-time business to get him through college. The business ended up doing so well that he decided to take it on a full time, building it to be one of the local leaders in the landscape industry.     Tune in!   During this episode, you will learn about; [02:26] A bit about Derek Taussig and what he does in his space [03:41] What keeps Derek engaged in pursuing beyond limits [05:26] How a new shiny bike became his pivotal point in entrepreneurship  [07:18] How self-investment was the key to his 7-figure level achievement [10:00] Develop a mindset of teamwork achievement rather than solo success [11:45] How to build a strong business infrastructure before it grows [13:06] Why you should slow down, find time and review how your business is doing [14:30] Merging his company was a bad and costly decision he made [16:07] Why partnerships become difficult sometimes  [20:07] The decision-making process that gets him on the winning side [16:11] When and how to build core values and mission statement for your business [25:54] Rapid Fire Round [26:18] #Profits-The one metric he would track in the business forever [27:01] #What book should a 6-figure business owner be reading [27:30] # Does he mastermind, and what's the budget?

As I consider the variety of work I do on a daily and weekly basis–work for which I receive payment and not, work I do for pure enjoyment, and work I’d rather not do–it strikes me that most of what feels off about it all, comes from having to do it. It is the sensation that someone or something is looking over my shoulder with a critical eye waiting impatiently for me to fulfil some prior commitment or other. And as this sensation of external pressure weighs on my consciousness, I wonder was it always this way. It seems to me, and I’ve written on this many times before, that with the advent of industrialisation came the widespread imperative to work under command. Although, I will accept that work may have always involved a relatively flush party and another willing to work for some of that gold. With that in mind, perhaps regular joe soap workers have never been free to direct their own work.Being somewhat obsessed with the nature and value of daily work as I am, and why we seem to have such a dichotomous relationship with it, I bought a few books on the history of work. One is The Oxford Book of Work, an anthology that draws upon a range of views and experiences of work across the centuries from writers, poets, scientists, clergy, journalists, and laypeople. It’s an account of work over the entire spectrum of life from youth through to retirement contrasting, as the author says, the delights of occupation and the harshness of compulsory labour. Some accounts suggest the glory and honour of work. Others, such as Oscar Wilde, suggest work is mentally and morally injurious. He said of manual labour;“And as I have mentioned the word labour, I cannot help saying that a great deal of nonsense is being written and talked nowadays about the dignity of manual labour. There is nothing necessarily dignified about manual labour at all, and most of it is absolutely degrading. It is mentally and morally injurious to man to do anything in which he does not find pleasure, and many forms of labour are quite pleasureless activities, and should be regarded as such. To sweep a slushy crossing for eight hours on a day when the east wind is blowing is a disgusting occupation. To sweep it with mental, moral, or physical dignity seems to me to be impossible. To sweep it with joy would be appalling. Man is made for something better than disturbing dirt. All work of that kind should be done by a machine.”“Man is made for something better than disturbing dirt.” What a great line. And he’s right, to an extent. I would like to believe that no matter what work we do, there is the opportunity to do it well and with enthusiasm and enjoy it. Manual labour under the force of our own mental steam is not arduous and undignified. On the contrary, I have found it to be some of the most satisfying work there is. However, when under the command of another then it takes on an entirely different colour. The challenge then is to do the work for its own sake without the promise of reward or applause. This represents the epitome of human achievement, and apparently, in agreement, Rudyard Kipling put it as follows in his 1892 title, The Seven Seas;And only The Master shall praise us, and only The Master shall blame;And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame,But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star,Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They are.Nevertheless, many people are bored and untested in their work. The fun in work is in being pressed to the limits of our ability, but if we’d rather not be there in the first place, then it’s hard to become engrossed to the extent that D.H. Lawrence implied when he wrote of Work in 1929;There is no point in work unless it absorbs you like an absorbing game.If it doesn’t absorb you, if it’s never any fun, don’t do it.Easier said than done, perhaps. Many of us fall into jobs without much conscious decision making on our part. We need a few quid to live and to buy nice things–that’s the primary motivation–so we take whatever work there is. An apprenticeship, a sales job in a shoe shop, a few hours behind the counter in the local newsagent; whatever is going. It’s what I did. I took a job I was told to take, and although I wanted to do other things, I happened to enjoy the work and did it to the best of my ability. I was happy on one level to be out of school and to be treated as an adult, although I was little more than a skivvy for the first few years. It didn’t occur to me that I needed to get out. Work didn’t feel like an imposition until much later.Working alone brings me the most enjoyment. Even when I’m in the company of others at work, I mostly keep to myself. Nobody is looking over my shoulder these days; there’s no pressure to perform. So I go about my business at my own pace. Sometimes I go fast, sometimes slow, but always under my own mental steam. There’s great freedom and peace in that. Lillian B. Rubin, a 28-year-old trucker, seemed to be on the same page when in 1972 he said;There’s a good feeling when I’m out there on the road. There ain’t nobody looking over your shoulder and watching what you’re doing. When I worked in a warehouse, you’d be punching in and punching out, and bells ringing all the time. On those jobs, you’re not thinking, you’re just doing what they tell you. Sure, now I’m expected to bring her in on time, but a couple of hours one way or the other don’t make no difference. And there ain’t nobody but me to worry about how I get her there.Lillian Rubin spoke about freedom and autonomy, being largely in command of his own work and being at one with his sense of self in his daily activity. It is to be treated like a human being and not like a machine. This is the freedom we are all looking for in our daily work. It’s just so fulfilling to be in charge of our own daily activities, but very few of us can say that we have that personal autonomy crucial for happiness at work. The need to survive often takes over and dictates our lot. So we leave our children, join the lines of traffic and go to work at jobs we’d rather not.The structure of daily work is changing for many people, with technology taking a further foothold and more of our time spent working remotely. But I wonder if these changes will be for the better. I am hopeful, if not a bit cynical, about it all. Employers are reaching further into our personal space in many ways, and there seems little to halt their advance. After all, the pandemic has made it necessary. The roads are busy with commuter traffic again too, and taking into account the upheaval of the working lives of so many, it seems that not much has really changed. Our attitudes to work are still largely comprised of the idea that we work for them, so we must do what we’re told. As we contemplate a workplace utopia where machines do the work and devote our time to personal advancement, we imagine that we will gain the freedom to do what we really want in the future. Maybe, but I honestly can’t see while Capitalist ideologies dictate economics and social structure. While we remain consumers of things rather than producers, things only get worse. The utopic workplace future is not a new idea either. Over the last few centuries, people have imagined an idyllic existence where we wouldn’t be concerned for work but rather leisure.“The desirable medium is one which mankind have often known how to hit: when they labour, they do it with all their might, and especially with all their mind; but to devote to labour, for mere pecuniary gain, fewer hours in the day, fewer days in the year, and fewer years of life.”- John Stewart Mill, Principles of Political Economy, 1848“The chief model by which labour is likely to be made less irksome is not by a change in its character or its intrinsic attractiveness, but by a diminution in its severity. It will probably be lightened by the increasing perfection of tools, and the increasing use of machinery; though on the other hand, it may be that from this cause its monotony will become no less, perhaps greater.”F.W. Taussig, Principles of Economics, 1911Quite insightful from Mr Taussig. Compulsory working hours may, on the whole, have reduced, and conditions for workers may have improved. But wages have, in effect, been on a decline since the ‘70s, and in countries such as the US, the number of working hours are greater now than in the 1960s. As technology has advanced, offering the fulfilment of John Meynard Keynes’ promise, work appears to have become more demanding. Keynes wrote in Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren in 1930;Thus for the first time since his creation, man will be faced with his real, his permanent problem–how to use his freedom from pressing economic cares, how to occupy the leisure, which science and compound interest will have won for him, to live wisely, agreeably and well. The strenuous purposeful money-makers may carry all of us along with them into the lap of economic abundance […] For many ages to come the old Adam will be so strong in us that everybody will need to do some work if he is to be contented. We will do more things for ourselves than is usual with the rich today, only too glad to have small duties and tasks and routines. However, Mr Keynes utopia consisting of a 15-hour workweek didn’t consider our propensity to snatch captivity from the jaws of freedom. Nor did he take weight of the ever-expanding greed of the few and their desire to control and profit at the disadvantage of millions of others. The operators of the corporate machine give up only the minimum they are required under legislation and where they offer more, you must give them your soul.I don’t believe the future of work will give us workplaces that reflect the needs of human beings, I mean, really. While we have hierarchical systems where the vast majority of profits go to the smallest number of people human beings will remain merely cogs–disposable and replaceable. In this, the capitalist system is flawed. It makes machines of men and women, and nothing has changed in this regard over the centuries. We’re still writing about the assault on the masses that is working life. There are, of course, exceptions, but they do not refute the rule–human beings are blagarded by work, and all efforts to change things are merely a sticking plaster on an open wound.Work can be pleasurable, fulfiling, and rewarding, but we can’t sit around and wait for employers to make it so. We must do it for ourselves. I’ll leave you with these words from French Philosopher Simone Weil from Oppression and Liberty, 1955;“To the conflict set up by money between buyers and sellers of labour has been added another conflict, set up by the very means of production, between those who have the machine at their disposal, and those who are at the disposal of the machine.”An Investigation of Daily WorkThis summer, I’m commencing a little experiment, an ad-hoc investigation, you might say, into feelings about work. I’m taking the vicinity where I live, Dublin 7, and I’m going out to capture the thoughts and feelings of work from ordinary people in an area of Dublin called Stoneybatter. I’ll be selecting a variety of professions and having a conversation about their work. Hopefully, I’ll have some good audio to share with you. More on that very soon.Hey, thanks for being here.

Carey Benenson Taussig D.O. (IT) is an Osteopathic practitioner, professor, and certified graduate of Boston University and the College d'Etudes Osteopathique (CAN.) Teaching and working both in Italy and in the U.S., she is also an affiliate of the of the national Italian society ROI (Registro degli Osteopati d'Italia.) She first made her mark as an educator when her biodynamic visceral manipulation program was featured by Bastyr University in 2016. At that time, she was also published in the National Publication, Massage Magazine, and was recognized for creating a synergetic fusion between the biodynamics and the traditional philosophies originally established by the late 19th century bone setters and grandfathers of Osteopathy and visceral manipulation including the Founder, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still as well as Dr. Barber and more.In her teachings she brings in the component of asking the viscera which body the strain is imprinted upon within the three bodies. This three-body concept was originally recognized in traditional Osteopathic teachings where it is taught that we have three bodies: the structural body, fluidic body, and electromagnetic body. She teaches also about the space inbetween the bodies where we can journey beyond the matter to invite or be invited to dialogue with matter in different phases of life and development. This often allows opportunity to shed the ancestral strains that can be translated through the generations through the ground matter and through the grid of the DNA.Having also a science background, Carey helps the student keep their feet rooted in the anatomy offering the possibility to experience the liquid state of the continuum and the constant of energy in her teachings. With this, she stays footed in the anatomy and in her classes, she outlines the influence of the artery, capsule, tissue, scar tissue, vessels and nerves that can have a primary influence on the functionality of the organ (dense) or viscera (hollow organ.) The matter and the position of the structures count in their functionality potential.At the same time, Carey refers often to the poetry in nature as a way to mirror in a true reference point to maintain the fulcrum without exhaust.

A memoir-in-essays from disability advocate and creator of the Instagram account @sitting_pretty Rebekah Taussig, processing a lifetime of memories to paint a beautiful, nuanced portrait of a body that looks and moves differently than most. Growing up as a paralyzed girl during the 90s and early 2000s, Taussig only saw disability depicted as something monstrous (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), inspirational (Helen Keller), or angelic (Forrest Gump). None of this felt right; and as she got older, she longed for more stories that allowed disability to be complex and ordinary, uncomfortable and fine, painful and fulfilling. Writing about the rhythms and textures of what it means to live in a body that doesn't fit, Rebekah reflects on everything from the complications of kindness and charity, living both independently and dependently, experiencing intimacy, and how the pervasiveness of ableism in our everyday media directly translates to everyday life. Disability affects all of us, directly or indirectly, at one point or another. By exploring this truth in poignant and lyrical essays, Taussig illustrates the need for more stories and more voices to understand the diversity of humanity. Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body (HarperOne, 2020) challenges us as a society to be patient and vigilant, practical and imaginative, kind and relentless, as we set to work to write an entirely different story. Dr. Christina Gessler's background is in American women's history, and literature. She specializes in the diaries written by rural women in the 19th century. In seeking the extraordinary in the ordinary, Gessler writes the histories of largely unknown women, poems about small relatable moments, and takes many, many photos in nature.   Learn more about your ad choices.

#009. Don't miss more of Sid and Marion's "Harry met Sally" exchanges that will warm your heart. So will Vedem entries about summer and autumn. Sid recalls the summer marriage of Dorm Number 1 leader Valtr Eisinger. He also remembers summer flies, bed bugs and fleas!, as well as the infamous Red Cross visit. The season of autumn brought back for Sid more harrowing memories, like the 12-hour "Terezin Census" that the Nazis carried out after a few prisoners escaped. And for anyone who survived Terezin, fall surely evokes memories of the transports of September and October, 1944. They were the last to leave Terezin before the war's end, taking over 18,000 people east to Auschwitz. Most of them would not survive. But their spirit lives on when you listen!

#008. In their magazine Vedem, the boys of Terezin's Dorm Number One captured the seasons vividly, resulting in some of the most poignant entries in this underground publication - the longest running one of the Holocaust. They tell the story of not only the transformation of the earth throughout the seasons as they saw it behind the fortress walls of Terezin, but of their own transformation. Sid and his friends not only were robbed of a carefree childhood, but of a dignified coming of age. But Sid and Marion's "Harry met Sally" exchange will make you laugh. And hearing them laugh together after 67 years of marriage (and counting!) is a wonderful reminder that in the end, hate lost.

  The Bible and Beyond Podcast Episode It's Ok to Look at Extracanonical Texts! An interview with Dr. Hal Taussig Dr. Hal Taussig compels us to walk through the door into the world of extracanonical texts. Whether we grew up fully satisfied that our Christian faith is established and needs no additional information about ‘unauthorized things,' or we are eager to explore  a deeper view of the early Christians – Hal walks with us, step by step to a realization that these lesser known texts are vitally important, beautiful, vibrant, and valid today for both scholars and the public. The extracanonical texts are not intended as exclusions of the traditional New Testament, but in fact reading them side by side enhances both. They remind us that each book of the New Testament is different and sometimes mutually contradictory, so these other texts help to fill in the blanks as well as helping us to read these contradictions with meaning. Hal tackles the origin and trouble with the word ‘Gnosticism,' showing us why most of us have been misled on that subject. Hal is now a recently retired Professor of the New Testament and United Methodist Pastor, but not a retired thinker and scholar! His Mediography includes The New York Times, Time Magazine, the Daily Show, National Public Radio, and quite a few more. Download this episode.
