There are few brewers anywhere in Australia with a pedigree to match that of Shawn Sherlock. For the past decade, he's been at the helm of FogHorn Brewery in Newcastle; prior to that he was at Murray's Brewing, helping the business grow from its roots in the Pub With No Beer in Taylors Arm (population: 133) to one of the country's envelope-pushing craft beer pioneers selling 1.5m litres per year at the time he moved on. Even before that – when he was lecturing courses in Australian history in his hometown of Newcastle – he was an avid homebrewer; indeed, we can probably thank the Howard administration's swingeing cuts to Arts funding for kickstarting one of the finest brewing careers of the modern era. As we were preparing to launch The Crafty Pint Podcast, Shawn was taking full control of FogHorn from Mighty Craft, the "craft beer accelerator" no longer involved in craft beer, which had bought into the business when his original partner was moving on. It meant we were keen to bring him onto the show to chat about his experiences working within different brewery ownership models – which he does. That he is on the show this week is also in part due to his role in the creation of Brewcastle, an ale trail guide to Newcastle's best beer (and spirits) spots; FogHorn was the first new brewery to open in the city a decade ago and has since been joined by many others. Over the course of the episode, we trace his career from its very start through the creation of many beers that were ahead of their time to his position today as a much-respected figure in the local beer community. He offers thoughts on the sort of business models that can succeed, what matters if you want to survive in brewing, and even gives some insight into creating great stouts, something he knows plenty about – he's got a few trophies as proof. 14:05 Start of the conversation with Shawn.

My guest in this episode is Dr. Tore Olsson, associate professor of history at the University of Tennessee. Dr. Olsson's first book, Agrarian Crossings: Reformers and the Remaking of the US and Mexican Countryside, is an award-winning scholarly book. But his new book does something quite different. Titled Red Dead's History: A Video Game, an Obsession, and American's Violent Past, the book opens a window on American history through the lens of Red Dead Redemption, the wildly popular video game franchise. I talked with Tore about how his pandemic video game habit changed the direction of his career, how teaching an undergraduate class on this topic shaped the book, and how working with his agent and editor made for a completely different publishing experience this time around.

For so long, history has been taught chronologically, but does it have to be and should it be? China Harvey and Lisa Herzig would argue that it does not and it should not.They are authors of the brand new book Teaching Beyond the Timeline: Engaging Students in Thematic History. And today we'll hear about their innovative approach to teaching history thematically. We'll explore the motivations behind this instructional shift, the challenges and triumphs they've encountered along the way, and the profound impact it has had on student engagement and understanding.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What really happened in 1945? Explore how students grapple with historical events and figures to understand their distinctness and uniqueness. In this episode of Heterodox Out Loud, host John Tomasi interviews Professor Mark Carnes of Barnard College. Professor Carnes talks about his innovative approach to teaching history, which he calls "reacting to the past." He explains how this method challenges traditional teaching by immersing students in historical contexts through Live-Action Role-Playing (LARP).Professor Carnes shares the components of this approach, its impact on students' engagement, the complexity of character roles, and the unique insights it generates. By making history come alive in a way that traditional teaching methods may not achieve, "reacting to the past" provides a unique and engaging way to learn about the past.In This Episode:Teaching history through role-playing gamesEngaging students in historical complexitiesAdoption of live-action role-playing gamesConnecting with historical figures through gameplayThe transformative power of immersive learningFind out more about The Reacting Consortium here: https://reactingconsortium.org/Find out more about Mark here: https://barnard.edu/profiles/mark-c-carnes About Mark Carnes:Mark Carnes received his B.A. from Harvard and Ph.D. from Columbia. For the first half of his career, he was a very conventional historian, General Editor of the 17-million-word American National Biography (Oxford), and author or editor of dozens of books on American history. But around the turn of the century, he pioneered the Reacting to the Past program, where students played complex games set in the past, their roles informed by important texts. He has co-authored six games in the Reacting series, published by the University of North Carolina Press, and is the author of Minds on Fire: How Role-Immersion Games Transform College (Harvard, 2014).  He teaches at Barnard College, Columbia University.

Hear from the author of Why History Matters: American History Teachers speak out. History advocate, social studies leader and CEO of the Driving Force Institute, Patrick Riccards, is my guest today.

In this episode of Kankakee Podcast, join host Jake LaMore as he delves into the inspiring story behind the Ray Olley Memorial Project. Jojo Sayson, a driving force behind the project, shares insights into the vision, significance, and ongoing initiatives aimed at honoring veterans and raising awareness about PTSD.Understanding the Vision:Jojo Sayson passionately outlines the vision behind the Ray Olley Memorial Project. It's not just about creating another monument; it's about honoring the service and sacrifice of veterans like Ray Olley, a proud WWII Navy Veteran. The project aims to instill a sense of duty, patriotism, and community in the hearts of its visitors.Teaching History for a Better Tomorrow:A significant portion of the conversation revolves around the importance of teaching history, especially to the younger generation. Sayson emphasizes that understanding the past is crucial to preventing its repetition. The Ray Olley Memorial Project becomes a living history lesson, reminding everyone of the sacrifices made for the freedoms enjoyed today.The Human Element:One unique aspect of the memorial is its incorporation of a human element. Sayson discusses how this element, in the form of statues and narratives, pulls people into the stories behind the monument. Ray Olley's story, as a WWII Navy Veteran, comes alive, making the memorial more engaging and thought-provoking.Honoring a Four-Legged Companion:In this episode, listeners also learn about Ray Olley's faithful companion, Eleanor.

In this episode, Dr. Almitra Berry delves deep into a pivotal moment at the intersection of education and politics, where the decisions made by the Arkansas Department of Education reverberate far beyond state lines. With a powerful quote from one of the Little Rock Nine serving as our guiding beacon, Dr. Berry invites us to embark on a transformative journey. Key Takeaways:The Arkansas Department of Education's decision not to count AP African American Studies towards graduation has sparked controversy.The Learns Act in Arkansas encompasses various aspects of education, including school vouchers, teacher pay raises, literacy standards, and material reviews, affecting what students learn.Many states are proposing or approving legislation to restrict how race is taught in schools, reflecting a broader national trend.Confederate and conservative ideologies have influenced Southern education for over a century, shaping curricula and contributing to the current debate on educational content.Questions arise about the timing and motives behind the Arkansas Department of Education's decision, emphasizing the intersection of politics and education.The episode explores who gets to control the narrative of American history and whose voices are included in education, particularly in courses like AP African American Studies.As Dr. Berry aptly puts it, "Don't worry about the things you cannot change. Let's change the things we can no longer accept." So, join the conversation, share your voice, and tune in to this episode to be part of the change. Together, we can shape the future of education and ensure that all voices are heard and valued in the story of our nation.Threads: @alberryconsulting TikTok: @almitraberry Email info: @askdrberry.com
