You can find Ben Shattuck at his website https://www.benshattuck.com/ or on IG @Benshattuck_ This week we chat with Ben Shattuck, author of Six Walks: In the Footsteps of Henry David Thoreau published by Tin House Books in 2022. Amy knew this book would appeal to Carrie because she is nothing if not a literary weirdo, and she has been since high school when she quoted from Thoreau in her senior yearbook. Despite her hopes that Ben would, like her, have a high school infatuation with Thoreau, he explains that his interest began much later. Even if you don't know anything about Thoreau, if you're a walker or a hiker, you have experienced the unique meditative impact of this activity and can appreciate Ben's insights on it. Ben also has a book of fiction out titled The History of Sound that is a finalist for the Pen/Faulkner prize so we are just really thrilled to have him with us today. And this week, for our recommendations section, we didn't just pick a random topic like asparagus or comas to share books about—we actually continue with the theme of walking. We each share at least 3 books that feature walking, hiking, or being in nature in some meditative way. We have literary fiction, memoirs, essays, and even a romance.

What we watched: Halloween H2O: Twenty Years Later. Who we watched it for: Jamie Lee Curtis and Josh Hartnett (and his terrible hair). What we thought: Fun and silly, just long and violent enough, but without the usual Halloween merriment that Michael Myers is known for carrying in his heart.Patreon • Tumblr • Instagram
Twenty years ago, Morgan Spurlock released his low-budget documentary Super Size Me, and achieved success that most documentary filmmakers can only dream about. The film made millions at the box office, it was nominated for an Academy Award, and it turned Morgan into a star. To this day, the film is still shown in middle school and high school health classes across the country. But in 2017, Morgan made a shocking confession that derailed his career and called into question Super Size Me's original claims. Earlier this year, Morgan died of cancer. In this week's show, Sporkful senior producer Andres O'Hara talks with some of the people closest to Morgan to figure out: Who really was Morgan Spurlock? How did Super Size Me become such a huge hit? And after all these years, should we still be showing it to kids?The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Nora Ritchie, Jared O'Connell, and Giulia Leo.

“Someone didn't go to Yosemite…” The year is 1998. After twenty years and five sequels, the Halloween franchise needed a shot in the arm if it was to compete with the likes of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Enter returning Halloween veteran Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Williamson, and the scariest element of all – Harvey Weinstein – to show us all that blood truly is thicker than water. I'm your host, Dave, and joining me for this blood soaked family reunion are fellow horror fans and Hillcrest Academy dropouts, Nick “Immortan Hoof”, Mike, Jackie, and special guest: Janna. Topics of discussion in this episode include the emerging trend of sweeping select entries in a franchise under the rug; we wonder why the producers felt the need to leave all of the rejected Michael Myers masks in the finished film; and finally, after a brief peek at the trivia, we learn that legally evil can-not die.

See you then, and be sure not to lose your heads!
Hosted by Andrew Quinn, Darren Mooney and Joey Keogh, this week with special guest Scott Mendelson, The 250 is a weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released Saturdays at 6pm GMT. This year, we are running a season looking at the films in the Halloween franchise. So this week, Steve Miner's Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later. Two decades after the horrific Halloween night in which Michael Myers returned to Haddenfield, Laurie Strode finds herself desperately trying to put her life back together under an assumed name at an elite private school. Raising her son, Laurie is still haunted by the trauma of that night twenty years ago, unaware that a Shape is lumbering through the darkness directly towards her. At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
Two decades after the original Halloween, the horror genre receives one of its first legacy sequels with Halloween H20. Despite the return of Jamie Lee Curtis, the movie was a mild box office success and failed to win over critics. But today we just focus on what the movie does well! Josh Hartnett with unbrushed hair?

Eric, Neil and David talk about the return of Laurie Strode to the franchise. It's better than the last two of the series, but it's strangely bloodless and slow. The post Scream vibe is all over the film. Grab a handle of vodka and join us!
It's been 20 years since Ron Burgundy first appeared on the screen urging viewers to "stay classy." Film comedy historian Saul Austerlitz joins the show to talk about his new book Kind of a Big Deal: How Anchorman Stayed Classy and Became the Most Iconic Comedy of the Twenty-First Century, which celebrates this classic movie. Austerlitz shares the inside story of how Anchorman came to be, how it was written and cast, and how it ultimately launched the careers of future superstars like Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, and Paul Rudd. More than just a hilarious comedy, the film was actually a decade ahead of its time taking digs at toxic masculinity and MeToo sexism. You will be surprised at some of the tidbits Austerlitz uncovered in his research on the film.

In this episode of Use Your Words, we take a look at Yellow Card's song Only One twenty years after it was released. We learn a few things during this song: Paul listened to way more emo than he cares to admit during his early adult hood, Pug Mugs are the best mugs (YouTube version only), and sometimes musicians make mistakes when they make music videos that have nothing to do with the song. While we listen and look at this song, we also look at how this song exemplifies a typical music video/song in the early 2000's. We also discuss Dave Matthews Band's influence on early 2000's music and how it even impacted jazz bands during this time frame.

Episode Summary:This includes a discussion about the profound confusion we all experienced when I went from a healthy, robust student athlete to having a “mystery illness” that doctors keep insinuating is “just anxiety” (or an eating disorder). We also share how we lost faith and trust in some doctors after experiencing medical gaslighting, yet we also found hope in the competency and empathetic care of other doctors (particularly in rheumatology). We share our mixed reactions to the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (partly due to not understanding the severity of the condition), and my parents open up about what it's like to have a child get sick who's a young adult who's not a kid anymore but not a fully independent adult.My parents also share their advice to other parents of children or young adults who are sick but not yet diagnosed, as well as their best advice for newly diagnosed people with rheumatic diseases. This is a must listen!Episode at a glance:Introduction to my parents and discussion about my early life (healthy, active lifestyle, no drugs or risky behaviors).Cheryl's Early diagnosis story (2001-3): Going down the gastroenterology path. We initially addressed systemic symptoms (stomach issues, eye issues and fatigue). The gastroenterologist did many procedures (including an endoscopy, barium swallow and pH manometry) then said nothing was wrong other than “the relationship between mom and daughter” (insinuating we were too close or perhaps both “too anxious”). He then did a gastric emptying scan and diagnosed me with gastroparesis (slow motility - a form of dysautonomia) but still said nothing else was wrong.Medical Gaslighting: My parents dilemma of whether to believe me or the gastroenterologist and others who accused me of having “nothing wrong” and just being a hypochondriac: how they chose to believe me despite the medical gaslighting from docs; how it was confusing that i could just get sick out of seemingly nowhere, it just didn't make sense. My dad knew I didn't have an eating disorder.2003: Hiring a concierge doctor who initially thought it was just anxiety, but eventually in summer 2003 once my joints were hurting more she ran more bloodwork and preliminarily diagnosed me with RA.Immediately after diagnosis - memories of the first trip to the rheumatologist and starting meds: relief, confusion, a whiplash from feeling not believed to feeling believed and that this is very serious; discussions about whether to start medications or not; my mom opened up about realizing she could advocate for me but wasn't the expert in the medications;Cheryl returns to New York for final year of undergrad and experiences medicated remission for 6 years - end of “phase 1” of her RA journey, which became more bumpy and complex after that first remission ended.My parents advice to others: My parents share their best advice to other parents who may be in the position of advocating for their childrenMedical disclaimer:All content found on Arthritis Life public channels was created for generalized informational purposes only.

0:08 — Rasha al Aqeedi, Middle East deputy editor at New Lines Magazine; when US-led forces invaded, she was living with her parents in Mosul, in northern Iraq. 0:33 — Andrew Bacevich is co-founder of the Quincy Institute and Professor Emeritus of International Relations and History at Boston University. The post The invasion of Iraq: Twenty years later appeared first on KPFA.
In a lively and insightful roundtable discussion, Ralph hosts former Marine company commander, Matthew Hoh, who when not deployed also worked in the Pentagon and the State Department and independent and unembedded Iraq war correspondent, Dahr Jamail. They mark the twentieth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and discuss the consequences of that misbegotten and illegal war. Plus, we hear a clip from Ralph's and Patti Smith's antiwar concert tour conducted in 2005.Dahr Jamail is the author of Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq, as well as The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption. He is co-editor (with Stan Rushworth) of We Are the Middle of Forever: Indigenous Voices from Turtle Island on the Changing Earth.It's hard to even articulate the level of suffering (in Iraq). And this is the country that exists today, that I got to leave, the military got to leave— at least for the most part. But the Iraqi people can't leave. And this is what they have to live with today.Dahr JamailMatthew Hoh is a Senior Fellow with the Center for International Policy. Mr. Hoh took part in the American occupation of Iraq, first with a State Department reconstruction and governance team and then as a Marine Corps company commander. When not deployed, he worked on Afghanistan and Iraq war policy and operations issues at the Pentagon and State Department. In 2009, he resigned in protest from his post in Afghanistan with the State Department over the American escalation of the war.This consistent line of violence directed against the Iraqi people to achieve American political aims had been established for decades. And I went into it thinking that somehow we were different… “If I go into this war, I can affect the people around me because I am going to be good and I am going to be moral and I am not going to do bad things.” And that's a complete fallacy. That's an incredible mistake.Matthew HohWe have to go into this history because it's going to happen again and again and again. The warmongers are active again on the Ukraine War now. More and more, we're moving toward a conflict with Russia...Who knows what will happen, because there's no break on our government. It's as if it was a dictatorship when it comes to foreign policy.Ralph Nader Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Hey Gang, On tonight's show, we go to California this time as we watched Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later! - Flicks-ology! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/flicks-ology/message
Listen as Mike and Tom discuss the 1998 sequel Halloween H2O: Twenty Years Later. You'll hear why this sequel is our favorite in the second part of our look at the Halloween series, discussions on the meta quality of the film and why it works so well and explanations as to why this movie should be preferred over the most recent sequels.
You may not know it from listening to our podcast, since she's appeared in every movie we've covered so far, but H20 was Jamie Lee Curtis' return to the franchise after 17 years. With the resurrection of Laurie Strode, H20 became the first—but not the last—soft reboot in the franchise, discarding Halloween 4-6. This movie has its issues (what is up with that MASK?!), but overall, it is a scary and fun slasher movie that doesn't go over-the-top.

Center for Constitutional Rights Advocacy Program Manager Aliya Hussain, Senior Managing Attorney Shayana Kadidal, and Senior Attorney Wells Dixon answer questions about the state of Guantánamo after 20 years operating as an offshore prison for Muslim men and boys in the so-called war on terror. We marked the 20th anniversary with a virtual rally, op-eds, media interviews, and an event that we organized, Guantánamo, Off the Record: 20 Years in the Fight. For that event, we collected questions to find out what people really wanted to know. In this episode, the three delve into those topics, from indefinite detention and torture to the ultimate question about Guantánamo: What will it take to finally shut it down?Resources:Guantánamo, Off the Record: 20 Years in the Fight, Video of FB live here.Rupture and Reckoning: Guantánamo Turns 20: Several Center for Constitutional Rights staff members contributed essays, two of our clients, Djamel Ameziane and Ghaleb Al Bihani, contributed art, and our client Majid Khan contributed poetry to this European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights anthology.

And please share it far and wide, if you think it worth reading!Key Insights:Macro Policy Guiding Principle: prioritize full employment—make Say’s Law true in practice even though it is false in theory…Macro Policy Guiding Principle: move the economy as fast as possible to what its long-term optimal structural configuration should beMacro Policy Guiding Principle: Guiding principles (1) and (2) overrides desirability of immediate price stability…We still have lots of room to run before we can say that the post-Volcker Fed has failed to meet its inflation target in an average-outcomes sense…Time to panic about inflation will be when the bond market gets worried about it—but right now the bond market is very much “Fed has got this”…Yet the political economy of the thing is overwhelmingly relevant: inflation that gets Biden booted from office would be very bad…Even prolonged inflation may help—in that there is a lot of structural reform we need to do, and this may help us get it done…Hexapodia!John Maynard Keynes (1919): The Economic Consequences of the Peace :Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security, but at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth. Those to whom the system brings windfalls, beyond their deserts and even beyond their expectations or desires, become "profiteers,", who are the object of the hatred of the bourgeoisie, whom the inflationism has impoverished, not less than of the proletariat. As the inflation proceeds and the real value of the currency fluctuates wildly from month to month, all permanent relations between debtors and creditors, which form the ultimate foundation of capitalism, become so utterly disordered as to be almost meaningless; and the process of wealth-getting degenerates into a gamble and a lottery.Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.In the latter stages of the war all the belligerent governments practised, from necessity or incompetence, what a Bolshevist might have done from design. Even now, when the war is over, most of them continue out of weakness the same malpractices. But further, the Governments of Europe, being many of them at this moment reckless in their methods as well as weak, seek to direct on to a class known as "profiteers" the popular indignation against the more obvious consequences of their vicious methods. These "profiteers" are, broadly speaking, the entrepreneur class of capitalists, that is to say, the active and constructive element in the whole capitalist society, who in a period of rapidly rising prices cannot help but get rich quick whether they wish it or desire it or not. If prices are continually rising, every trader who has purchased for stock or owns property and plant inevitably makes profits.By directing hatred against this class, therefore, the European Governments are carrying a step further the fatal process which the subtle mind of Lenin had consciously conceived. The profiteers are a consequence and not a cause of rising prices. By combining a popular hatred of the class of entrepreneurs with the blow already given to social security by the violent and arbitrary disturbance of contract and of the established equilibrium of wealth which is the inevitable result of inflation, these Governments are fast rendering impossible a continuance of the social and economic order of the nineteenth century. But they have no plan for replacing it…References:William J.

Part 2 of our special anniversary episode chronicles the experiences of 9 Americans, as told in their own words. Hear their powerful stories as they share their whereabouts that day, how 9/11 has shaped their thoughts about life, the pandemic, and the world. Two decades have passed since the crisp September morning that would alter the course of history. I was only 14 at the time, going to school just a few blocks away from the twin towers, so 9/11 is a day that carries a special place in my heart. Join me for a special 2 part episode where we reflect on our experiences on the actual day but more importantly, how our lives have been shaped and altered by the events. Part 1: My experience Part 2: A collection of stories from Americans who reflect on the impact of 9/11 For any WTC survivors (those who lived, worked or went to school near Ground Zero), please sign up for the 9/11 World Trade Center health program at the link below:https://www.cdc.gov/wtc/apply.html
The Dennis Michael Lynch Podcast is 57-minutes for this day, September 11. The 20th anniversary of 9/11 is today. And DML changes his anniversary routine. In the past, DML would spend this day reflecting on that terrible day and the importance of the term "Never Forget". But he says it's useless to do the same thing on this day. With open borders, unvetted refugees, the US government marking Trump voters who don't want vaccine passports terrorists, DML says we've forgotten what this country went through twenty years ago. And so he wants the program to focus on fixing the problems we face. He says the 9/11 victims would prefer DML move forward with his show's focus on promoting the truth, and exposing the lies. So, on today's show, a man named Nick joins DML. Nick has worked at Disney for 16-years. He will not take the jab even though Disney is forcing him to get vaccinated or else.... This podcast is about fighting back. The conversation between DML and Nick is personal, and it is reflective of the craziness we all face. LISTEN:
Chances are you remember where you were and what you were doing when the U.S. was attacked on 9/11. Twenty years later, the world is still a changed place; the impact of that day carries on. We share the story of our colleague, Jo Ann Allen. She offered her reflections in her podcast, "Been There, Done That," with her friend, WNYC journalist Beth Fertig.
It's been twenty years since the World Trade Center Towers were struck by terrorists on September 11, 2001. In today's episode Dr. Boca and Rachel Silver-Cohen are still remembering and never forgetting as they are joined by special guest Whitney Michaels. Whitney and her husband Evan founded A Little Hope, Inc. a ground breaking not for profit charitable foundation as a personal response to the WTC tragedy. Today, Whitney shares her emotional story of where she was and why when receiving the news that the towers' collapsed and reflects on both her raw, instinctive feelings and the subsequent action steps that came in the wake to shed HOPE for so many in need. Her story of true passion and inspiration is one you won't want to miss!
