Podcasts about western hemispheric

Robert Bryce is an author and movie producer, and he has a great Substack at Robertbryce.substack.com. We consider him a national treasure, and he holds nothing back in this great interview. We explore the world to see how energy, oil, and geopolitics collide. As we release this podcast, US Ships are approaching Iran, and oil prices are responding. The main topics discussed in this Podcast are:1. The role of energy, particularly oil, in global geopolitics and conflicts:  - The transcript discusses how targeting electrical grid infrastructure has been a common military tactic in major conflicts like the Iraq wars, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the situation in Venezuela.  - Controlling energy resources and infrastructure is seen as a key strategic objective in these conflicts.2. The "dark fleet" and Venezuela's involvement in circumventing sanctions:  - The discussion touches on Venezuela's relationship with Russia and China, and how they have been using a "dark fleet" of tankers to move oil and bypass sanctions.  - This highlights how energy trade and financial mechanisms are being used to counter geopolitical pressure.3. The shift towards a "Western Hemispheric energy powerhouse":  - There is discussion about the Trump administration's efforts to align the energy resources of the Western Hemisphere, including shale, oil sands, and Venezuela's heavy crude, under a framework that prioritizes reliable, low-cost supply.  - This is seen as a potential challenge to OPEC's influence.4. The challenges facing the transition to renewable energy and electrification:  - The transcript touches on the growing demand for electricity, the constraints on the power grid and natural gas supply, and the difficulties in rapidly scaling up new energy infrastructure.  - There is a discussion about the role of natural gas, data centers, and new technologies like reciprocating engines in meeting this growing energy demand.5. The performance and challenges of the electric vehicle (EV) market:  - The transcript discusses the significant financial losses incurred by legacy automakers in their efforts to compete with Tesla and enter the EV market.  - This is seen as an example of the industry misjudging the market and customer demand for EVs.Chapters/Time Stamps03:27 War and how energy infrastructure is targeted07:59 Energy is the key to geopolitics14:35 Greenland is the New Green Deal18:32 EIA Growing Electricity Demand 27:37 Natural Gas, and we may be too dependent on one source32:41 EVs and the problems car makers have had, and caused.

In our sixth episode, host Maria Archibald speaks with Dr. Thomas Michael Swensen, assistant professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Utah, about Indigenous belonging in Alaska and beyond.  Swensen's study focuses on Native American and Western Hemispheric history, law, art, and literature, and he has interest in punk and urban studies. Yes, punk.Born and raised in the Kodiak Archipelago and an original shareholder in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement corporations Koniag, Inc., and Leisnoi, Inc., Swensen is enrolled in the federally recognized Tangirnaq native village – a.k.a. the Woody Island tribe – and serves the Alutiiq on the board of directors of the Koniag education foundation. 

Welcome back to Season 2 of The Hawk's Call! In this season debut episode, Hawk Mountain President Sean Grace and Director of Conservation Science Dr. Laurie Goodrich discussed the importance of the migration routes that run from North America, funneling through Central America to several countries in South America. Hear about how Hawk Mountain is working to export the hawk count model and support researchers and count sites along these flyways.

Hawk Mountain Sanctuary's podcast The Hawk's Call is back for another season! This season, titled Conserve the Corridor, will feature more discussions and interviews with scientists and educators working to conserve raptors along the Western Hemispheric migration flyways.  New episodes debut each Wednesday starting September 1. Stay tuned! 

Most scholars and members of the public believe the process of enslavement was confined to the Western Hemispheric plantation or other locations of enslavement. Sowande Mustakeem’s award-winning Slavery at Sea: Terror, Sex, and Sickness in the Middle Passage (University of Illinois Press, 2016) disrupts that narrative. Mustakeem changes how readers understand the packaging process for how African captives became enslaved once they reached their final destinations. Slavery at Sea reveals for the first time how similar dimensions of land-based slavery were expressed largely on board slaving vessels. By highlighting the lived experiences of those groups most neglected by prior scholars of the Middle Passage—women, children, the disabled, and the elderly—Mustakeem demonstrates how Atlantic slave ships were important areas of development to land-based methods of medical treatment and violence. Mustakeem’s approach to producing history does not end with the writing of Slavery at Sea. As a member of the St. Louis, Missouri-based band Amalghemy, Mustakeem adds to the readers experience by constructing a first of its kind soundtrack specifically for them to listen to as they read. Slavery At Sea: The Book Soundtrack pushes the public to consider how a soundtrack could mirror the “feelings, vibrations, and imagination forged in the book.” Ultimately, when coupled together, Slavery At Sea and Slavery At Sea: The Book Soundtrack alters how people of all backgrounds understand how pivotal the Middle Passage was to one of, if not the largest forced migrations of people in human history. She asserts that by the time captive Africans ultimately reached their final port of entry, the psychological and sexual trauma that would be their futures as enslaved people, had already begun during the Middle Passage. Sowande M. Mustakeem is an assistant professor in the Department of History and the African and African American Studies Program at Washington University in St. Louis. She can be reached on Twitter at @somustakeem. Adam X. McNeil is a graduating M.A. in History student at Simmons College in Boston, Massachusetts, and received his Undergraduate History degree at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University University in 2015.
