Podcast appearances and mentions of urban america

Everyone needs it. An informal, neutral setting within a community that supports the individual. It encourages conversation. It embraces differences. It's a park, a bar, a coffee shop, a hair salon, a library — any spot that welcomes diversity and, sometimes, action.It isn't home.It isn't work. It's a third place.This isn't a new concept. Sociologist Ray Oldenburg is credited with solidifying it in his 1989 book, The Great Good Place, and it has since evolved over the decades as our increased access to things like money, technology and travel – while great – have shifted our need and desire for a blended community.“The idea that we spend so much time at home, then we leave our home and go to work, and then for most folks they leave work and go home, there's nothing necessarily wrong with that,” said Michael Carrier, urban historian and professor at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). “In a lot of times that's almost done out of necessity because people may be working multiple jobs, they may have childcare issues. But, when your life is that bifurcated, you don't get the sociability that people need.”Carrier does his own exploration of the topic in his book, The City Creative: The Rise of Placemaking in Urban America. On this episode of Uniquely Milwaukee, we dive into the significance of having places where people can just exist, including a new “third place” on the East Side called The Washroom.At first, the activity of doing laundry may not seem social — until you give it more than a passing thought.“ I think a laundromat is a perfect place to make into a third space because you're getting folks from all different walks of life going to one space once a week,” The Washroom owner Kelli Johnson said. “That, within itself, is very powerful … building and creating community.”Uniquely Milwaukee is sponsored by the Milwaukee Public Library.

They highlight the challenges posed by corporate interests, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the need for a deeper connection between rural and urban communities. Reisinger emphasizes the importance of understanding the realities of farming and the implications of policies on the future of agriculture in America.TakeawaysThe American farmer is both a small business owner and a working-class individual.Farming has been disappearing for over a century, leading to a disconnect between consumers and producers.Supply chain vulnerabilities were highlighted during COVID and continue to affect food security.The political landscape has not adequately addressed the needs of farmers for decades.Urban America often lacks understanding of the realities of farming and food production.Farmers are facing challenges from corporate interests that threaten family farms.The future of farming is at risk, with 45,000 farms lost annually.There is a need for bipartisan support to address agricultural issues.The pandemic has led to some people realizing the importance of rural communities.Farming is deeply connected to American values and identity.Support the show"Wherever you find yourself is exactly and precisely where God wills you to be" Support our show at the following: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2063276/support Follow us on X: @CFC30290 Follow us on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-3123766 Website: https://clarityfromchaospodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Thanks for listening to Clarity from Chaos

In this episode of The Photo Detective, Maureen Taylor welcomes historian Evan Friss, author of The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore. Friss dives deep into the evolution of bookstores in America—from colonial times to the digital age. He shares fascinating insights into their cultural, political, and communal roles throughout history.  Early American bookstores were cultural and political hubs, vital for disseminating revolutionary ideas and classic literature, despite also selling sundry items. Bookstores evolved from general goods shops to genre-specific havens—feminist, radical, and neighborhood staples—such as NYC's famous “Book Row.” Bookstores act as “third spaces,” offering connection, events, and literary engagement beyond just book sales. Independent bookstores face small profit margins, rising ebook popularity, and competition from Amazon, yet persist through innovation and community support.Related Episodes:Episode 198: A Sewing Girl's Tale with Author John Wood SweetEpisode 189: Historical Fiction Revealed with Carrie Deming of The Dog Eared Book Links:Evan FrissSign up for my newsletter.Watch my YouTube Channel.Need help preserving your photos?

In this episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Alisha Searcy interview Nicole Stelle Garnett, Associate Dean and John P. Murphy Foundation Professor of Law at Notre Dame Law School, and a national expert in education law and school choice. Dean Garnett discusses the vital role Catholic education plays in fostering faith, community, and the pursuit of “the true, the good, and the beautiful.” She explores the challenges posed by the decline of Catholic schools in urban areas, as outlined in her book Lost Classroom, Lost Community: Catholic Schools' Importance in Urban America, and highlights policy solutions such as expanding educational choice options to support Catholic school families. She delves into recent landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions, including Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue and Carson v. Makin, which undermined the legal barriers to school choice, like Blaine Amendments, while strengthening religious liberty in K-12 schooling. Dean Garnett also examines the growth of private school choice programs, education savings accounts, and education tax credits across the U.S., and offers insights into upcoming legal challenges as the opponents of school choice and religious education strategize to push back.

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib welcomes Leighton Akira Woodhouse back to the podcast. Woodhouse is a freelance journalist and a documentary filmmaker, currently based in Oakland, California. He grew up in Berkeley, and was a doctoral student in Sociology at UC Berkeley. After leaving academia he contributed to outlets like The Intercept and The Nation, before starting his own Substack, Social Studies, as well as working with Michael Shellenberger. He also has a new podcast with Lee Fang, Le Pod. Woodhouse and Razib discuss the broader issue of the necessity of order in cities, how important cities are to American economic dynamism, and how the problems of cities impact us all. One of Woodhouse's beats has been crime and public disorder, and living in the Bay Area he has been unwitting witness to some of the most flagrant dysfunction of the current era. He outlines ‌the culpability of the judicial system in the rise of petty crime and details organized crime's opportunistic manipulation of the system.  Razib inquires about the political elite's role in fostering disorder, in particular the policies and views of the mayor of Oakland and the Alameda County district attorney. They address the rise of the movement against law and order on the West coast, its connection to social libertarianism, and how that differs from East-coast big city liberalism. Woodhouse believes that the West coast's homelessness crisis emerges in particular from its unique political configuration accelerated by a judicial system that aids and abets social libertarianism that is operationally pro-crime. Finally, they discuss the possibility that the 2024 elections will throw out of office many of the mayors and district attorneys brought in in the last few years on a plan of social justice activism.

To understand elders' experiences of aging in place, sociologist Stacy Torres spent five years with longtime New York City residents as they coped with health setbacks, depression, gentrification, financial struggles, the accumulated losses of neighbors, friends, and family, and other everyday challenges. The sensitive portrait Torres paints in At Home in the City: Growing Old in Urban America (University of California Press, 2025), moves us beyond stereotypes of older people as either rich and pampered or downtrodden and frail to capture the multilayered complexity of late life. These pages chronicle how a nondescript bakery in Manhattan served as a public living room, providing company to ease loneliness and a sympathetic ear to witness the monumental and mundane struggles of late life. Through years of careful observation, Torres peels away the layers of this oft-neglected social world and explores the constellation of relationships and experiences that Western culture often renders invisible or frames as a problem. At Home in the City strikes a realistic balance as it highlights how people find support, flex their resilience, and assert their importance in their communities in old age. Interviewee: Stacy Torres is Assistant Professor of Sociology in the School of Nursing at the University of California, San Francisco. Host: Schneur Zalman Newfield is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Jewish Studies at Hunter College, City University of New York, and the author of Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple University Press).

In this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we explore how Trump's 2024 victory will spark a renewed era of American strength and prosperity. Could this be the beginning of a new Golden Age for our nation? We discuss Trump's big 2024 presidential win and its impact on the country's values, economy, and global standing, and why his win will set the stage for a brighter, more unified America. Tune in as we break down what this monumental moment means for our nation's future.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/learn/gold-and-silver-guide/?utm_campaign=21243613394&utm_source=g&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=noble%20gold%20investments&seg_aprod=&ad_id=698073353663&oid=2&affid=1&utm_source=google&affiliate_source=googleads_brand_bmbc&utm_term=noble%20gold%20investments&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADQ2DzKOxph5Uom1m3COg5w3zx05w&gclid=Cj0KCQiArby5BhCDARIsAIJvjIRxVP8kcQ9WWQfEPfNdh7_-sk6ZAZcJBNz5BlVDdTmkNtaqo8N8ah0aAo9SEALw_wcB

Leon Dash is a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a former reporter for the Washington Post, and a Pulitzer Prize winner. Dash introduces himself as a "barefoot boy from Harlem," a humbling reminder of his roots that keeps him grounded. Imagine a young Leon Dash, shivering in the cold Washington winter, desperately seeking an indoor job. With nothing but hope and determination, he walks into Robert Kennedy's senatorial office, heart pounding, palms sweating. No luck there, but a sympathetic staffer points him towards the Washington Post. In a moment of serendipity, Dash races across town in a taxi, praying there isn't already a line of applicants. He arrives, breathless, to find he's the only one there. What started as a night copyboy position in 1965, born out of pure necessity, would blossom into a distinguished career spanning decades. Throughout his career, Dash consistently challenged middle-class assumptions about poverty and social issues. His Pulitzer Prize-winning series, "Rosa Lee: A Generational Tale of Poverty and Survival in Urban America," is more than a story - it's a four-year journey into the heart of urban poverty. Dash didn't just interview his subjects; he lived among them, breathing the same air, facing the same daily struggles. He slept in cockroach-infested apartments, witnessed the cycle of addiction and despair firsthand, and saw how teenage pregnancy wasn't just a statistic, but a rite of passage for many. His work forces us to confront uncomfortable truths: that the American Dream is often just that - a dream - for those trapped in generational poverty. It challenges us to question our assumptions and to see the humanity in those society often overlooks. Leon Dash's work challenges us to look beyond our own experiences, to seek understanding in the stories of others, and to never stop questioning the world around us. In a time when division seems to be the norm, Dash's career reminds us of the importance of journalism that bridges gaps, challenges assumptions, and gives voice to the voiceless. His story isn't just inspiring - it's a call to action. It asks us to consider: What truths are we overlooking? Whose stories are we not hearing? And most importantly, what are we going to do about it? As you watch this interview, let Dash's words sink in. Let them challenge you, inspire you, and maybe even change you. Because in the end, that's what great journalism - and great lives - do. They show us the world as it is, and inspire us to make it better.

While institutional and systemic racism is well documented in the Postbellum and Reconstruction South, its effects on African Americans in the Northern United States, as well as how those practices have shaped contemporary society, is often less understood. Scholar and historian Khalil Gibran Muhammed sits down with David M. Rubenstein to shine a light on the 19th and 20th century manipulation of racial crime statistics that has erroneously guided much of American public policy—influencing everything from education to incarceration—for over a century, tracing our nation's codified persecution of African Americans from slavery through the Great Migration and beyond. Recorded on December 21, 2023

In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. David Banks discuss how the attention economy has led to the rise of "authentic" urban lifestyles. Dr. Banks explains how social media and other cultural forces have played on our nostalgia in ways that makes groups as different as urban hipsters and MAGA supporters in small-town America seek to find, or recreate, romanticized caricatures of past decades in the places in which they live.For a deep dive into David Banks' work, check out his book: The City Authentic: How the Attention Economy Builds Urban America

Long accused of racism and “white flight,” the ethnic Americans driven from their homes and neighborhoods—the author JACK CASHILL included—finally get the chance to tell their side of the story.“A startlingly honest and poignant look at ‘white flight' from the white perspective. A necessary and overdue corrective.” —Brent Bozell III, founder and president of the Media Research Center wrote of JACK CASHILL'S latest book, UNTENABLE. The True Story of White Ethnic Flight From America's Cities. (Post Hill Press)CASHILL, a native of Newark who now lives most of the year in Kansas City, once asked a lifelong friend, a rare Democrat among the displaced, why he and his widowed mother finally left our block in the early 1970s, twenty years after the first African-American families moved in. He searched a minute for the right set of words, and then simply said, “It became untenable.” When I asked what he meant by “untenable,” he answered, “When your mother gets mugged for the second time, that's untenable. When your home gets broken into for the second time, that's untenable.” In researching this project, I found myself repeatedly stunned by the failure of self-described experts on white flight to ask those accused of fleeing why it was they fled. The reason the experts didn't ask, I discovered, is that they were afraid of what they might learn.

The City Authentic: How the Attention Economy Builds Urban America (U California Press, 2023) is the first book to explore how our cities gentrify by becoming social media influencers—and why it works. Cities, like the people that live in them, are subject to the attention economy. In The City Authentic, author David A. Banks shows how cities are transforming themselves to appeal to modern desires for authentic urban living through the attention-grabbing tactics of social media influencers and reality-TV stars. Blending insightful analysis with pop culture, this engaging study of New York State's Capital Region is an accessible glimpse into the social phenomena that influence contemporary cities. The rising economic fortunes of cities in the Rust Belt, Banks argues, are due in part to the markers of its previous decay—which translate into signs of urban authenticity on the internet. The City Authentic unpacks the odd connection between digital media and derelict buildings, the consequences of how we think about industry and place, and the political processes that have enabled a new paradigm in urban planning. Mixing urban sociology with media and cultural studies, Banks offers a lively account of how urban life and development are changing in the twenty-first century. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He is the author of The Social Construction of a Cultural Spectacle: Floatzilla (Lexington Books, 2023) and Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River (Lexington Books, 2022). His general area of study is on media representations of people and place. He is currently conducting research on the branding of cities. I am particularly interested in the similarities and differences in how travel and tourism agencies see a city as compared to how residents and visitors see the same city.

Journalist Kathleen McLaughlin knew she'd found a treatment that worked on her rare autoimmune disorder. She had no idea it had been drawn from the veins of America's most vulnerable.  Blood Money shares McLaughlin's decade-long mission to learn the full story of where her medicine comes from. She travels the United States in search of the truth about human blood plasma and learns that twenty million Americans each year sell their plasma for profit — a human-derived commodity extracted inside our borders to be processed and packaged for retail across the globe. McLaughlin investigates the thin evidence that pharmaceutical companies have used to push plasma as a wonder drug for everything from COVID-19 to wrinkled skin. In the process, she unearths an American economic crisis hidden in plain sight: single mothers, college students, laid-off Rust Belt auto workers, and a booming blood market at America's southern border, where collection agencies target Mexican citizens willing to cross over and sell their plasma for substandard pay. McLaughlin's findings push her to ask difficult questions about her own complicity in this wheel of exploitation, as both a patient in need and a customer who stands to benefit from the suffering of others. Blood Money weaves together McLaughlin's personal battle to overcome illness as a working American, with revealing portrait of what happens when big business is allowed to feed, unchecked, on those least empowered to fight back. Kathleen McLaughlin is an award-winning journalist who reports and writes about the consequences of economic inequality around the world. A frequent contributor to The Washington Post and The Guardian, McLaughlin's reporting has also appeared in The New York Times, BuzzFeed, The Atlantic, The Economist, NPR, and more. She is a former Knight Science Journalism fellow at MIT and has won multiple awards for her reporting on labor in China. Blood Money is her first book. Shaun Scott is a Seattle-based writer and historian. A former Pramila Jayapal staffer and Bernie Sanders 2020 Washington State Field Director, he is currently the Policy Lead at the Statewide Poverty Action Network.
