Cruise through Alaska's top ports—glaciers, gold rush towns, and stunning wildlife in one unforgettable journey! Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Season 5, Episode 239 A Week in Alaska: Cruise Ports That Captivate Cruising through Alaska offers a front-row seat to some of the most stunning natural wonders and rich historical destinations in North America. Here's a breakdown of our unforgettable week at sea upon Holland America Line's Noordam ship and the incredible ports visited. Ketchikan: Totem Poles & Salmon Capital of the World Nestled along the Inside Passage, Ketchikan is famous for its towering totem poles and world-class salmon fishing. Visitors can stroll through downtown's historic Creek Street, explore Native Alaskan culture at the Totem Heritage Center, and shop for unique artisan gifts. It's a shopper's paradise with a rich cultural flair. Highlights: Totem Bight State Historical Park Salmon ladder at Creek Street Waterfront shopping & art galleries Juneau: Glaciers, Gold, and the Capital You Can't Drive To Juneau, Alaska's remote and scenic capital, is best known for the Mendenhall Glacier and its Gold Rush history dating back to 1880. Accessible only by air or sea, Juneau offers a sense of adventure unlike any other capital city in the U.S. Must-Sees: Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center Mount Roberts Tramway Whale watching tours Skagway: Ride Through History Step into the past in Skagway, a charming town with epic excursions that recall the Klondike Gold Rush. Take the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway through mountain passes, hike the historic Chilkoot Trail, or go dog sledding atop a glacier. Top Experiences: White Pass Railroad Gold Rush Cemetery Glacier helicopter tours Glacier Bay National Park: Nature in Motion Glacier Bay offers a surreal day at sea, where you can witness glacier calving — massive ice chunks cracking and falling into the ocean. Covering 3.3 million acres, this national park is home to rugged mountains, tidewater glaciers, and abundant wildlife. What to Watch: Glacier calving with binoculars Harbor seals and sea lions Breathtaking fjord views College Fjord: Ice and Wildlife Wonderland Another day at sea brought us through College Fjord, a magical location with glaciers named after Ivy League schools. Wildlife spotting here is a treat, with playful otters and seals dotting the icy waters. Scenic Wonders: Harvard and Yale Glaciers Otters, seals, and seabirds Panoramic views from ship decks Onward to Whittier & Denali by Rail Our cruise concludes in Whittier, Alaska, where we begin the land portion of our journey aboard the McKinley Explorer Train. Traveling through Denali National Park, home to North America's tallest peak, Mount McKinley (Denali), promises a dramatic finale to our Alaskan adventure. From glacier calving and historic train rides to remote capitals and scenic fjords, Alaska delivers an awe-inspiring experience that's both majestic and humbling. Whether it's your first trip or a return visit, the Last Frontier always offers something new to discover. OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

Flying to Canada? Essential Travel Tips & Customs Info

Traveling to Canada? Know what to pack, what to declare, and what to expect at customs. Smart travel starts here! What to Know Before Flying to Canada Traveling internationally—especially to Canada—requires a bit more preparation than domestic trips. Whether it's your first time or you're a seasoned traveler, here's what you should know before you board. Entry Requirements and Canadian Customs Tips Valid Passport: Make sure your passport is current and valid for the entire duration of your stay. U.S. travelers don't need a visa for visits under six months. ArriveCAN App: Travelers are encouraged to use the ArriveCAN app to provide customs and immigration information ahead of time. What to Declare: Be honest—declare all food, alcohol, and goods. Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) takes violations seriously. Duties and Limits: Know your duty-free allowances. Canadians returning home have specific exemptions for goods and alcohol, which vary by time spent abroad. What to Pack for a Smooth Trip Weather-Appropriate Clothing: Canada's weather can vary dramatically. Layers are key! Travel Documents: Keep your passport, boarding pass, and ArriveCAN receipt handy with an electronic copy on your phone. Remember to file your “Customs Declaration” within 72 hours of departure on airlines for faster customs processing. Electronics & Adapters: Canada uses 120V (same as the U.S.), so most electronics are compatible. Health & Insurance Info: It's smart to travel with proof of insurance and any necessary prescriptions. It is highly recommended that prescriptions are in original bottles from the pharmacy. If those bottles are large, advise the pharmacy of international travel and ask for smaller labelled bottles with enough for the “planned” trip as well as an extra week's supply incase of an emergency. Stay Connected on the Go Cellular Carrier: When flying internationally even if just over the border it is extremely important to contact your cell phone carrier (Example: Verizon, AT&T, Sprint) to verify if your plan covers all of the countries that will be visited. Roaming fees are expensive. If your plan does NOT cover, for example Canada, ask for a “Travel Pass” to be added to your cell phone or data plan which are typically significantly cheaper than roaming fees. Consider a Canadian SIM card or an international roaming plan to stay in touch during your trip.  Wi-Fi & Internet: Free Wi-Fi is common in airports, cafes, and hotels, but rural areas may have limited service. To avoid “Roaming Charges” always place the phone on “Airplane Mode”, connect to the available Wi-Fi, and change the final setting to enable “Wi-Fi Calling.” No Roaming Fees: To be absolutely sure that you are not on roaming data, after putting phone / tablet on “Airplane Mode” with “Wi-Fi” connect. Consider using apps such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Facetime or Google Meet to stay connected with others. OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

Griddle vs. Grill: Which One's Better for BBQing Beef? Benefits of Using a Griddle for BBQ Great for smash burgers, fajitas, Philly cheesesteaks Even heat and no flare-ups Easy to clean and ideal for small patios or RV setups Why You Might Prefer a Traditional Grill Adds smoky flavor from charcoal or wood Better for steaks, kabobs, and ribs Authentic sear marks and a backyard BBQ vibe Verdict — Use What Fits Your BBQ Style Choose a griddle for convenience, consistent heat, and multitasking (think: onions + patties at once) Choose a grill for high-heat searing, smoke, and bold beef flavor Top 5 Expert Beef BBQ Tips for Flavor & Juiciness 1. Choose the Right Cut Go for marbled cuts like ribeye or chuck for flavor Leaner cuts like sirloin or flank work better with marinades 2. Don't Overhandle the Meat Pressing burgers too hard or flipping too often = dry beef Remove steaks from the refrigerator, "warm-up" on the counter at least 30 minutes prior to grilling. 3. Season Simply but Generously Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are enough Use rubs for roasts and brisket — let them sit 1+ hour before cooking 4. Let It Rest Before removing from heat, add a pat of butter to melt on the steak during the resting stage. Always let beef rest 5–10 minutes after grilling to lock in juices 5. Invest in a Meat Thermometer Ideal internal temps: Burgers: 160°F (medium) Steaks: 130°F (medium rare), 145°F (medium) Brisket: 195°F–205°F for perfect pull-apart texture OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

This month we continue our series on speech and censorship by discussing a famous critique of free speech from the left. My guest and I dig into Herbert Marcuse's famous essay and try to make sense of its critique of tolerance and free speech. We discuss Marcuse's background and role as a leading thinker of the New Left. We also analyze Marcuse's goal of liberation or autonomy, his understanding of the relationship between speech and action, his use of the term totalitarian, and his understanding of the duty of the intellectual.Our guest is Professor Alexander Duff. Alex is a scholar of the history of political philosophy, focusing on the ontology and psychology of statecraft and politics. He was trained at the University of Notre Dame, where he earned his Ph.D. from the department of Political Science and was educated in the humanities and history at Carleton University, Ottawa. He is the author of Heidegger and Politics: The Ontology of Radical Discontent (Cambridge University Press) and numerous articles on classical, Renaissance, modern, and contemporary political philosophy which have appeared in the American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, Political Review Quarterly, the Review of Metaphysics, the Heidegger- Jahrbuch, and other scholarly and popular publications. His work has been translated into Estonian and Farsi.He teaches at the University of North Texas where he is Assistant Professor of Political Science and Director of the Constitutionalism and Democracy Forum.

What You Need to Know is that December 2 will mark the 200th anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine. On December 2, 1823 James Monroe gave his speech to Congress that began the Monroe Doctrine, which maintains that we must protect our hemisphere from foreign influence. In the face of Chinese involvement in American business and the Panama Canal, the Monroe Doctrine is still as important as ever. Ben Appel, journalist and author, joins Ed to discuss his piece ‘Who Wronged Britney Spears.' Ben and Ed discuss Spears' mental stability and drug use, as well as the consequences of ending the conservatorship her parents had over her. Ben cuts through the fanaticism of the #FreeBritney side to get a reasoned and balanced understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of the conservatorship. Dr. James S. Robbins, Academic Dean at the Institute of World Politics, joins Ed to discuss his recent Wall Street Journal article, ‘My School Doesn't Tolerate Anti-Semitism.' Dr. Robbins talks to Ed about how the Institute of World Politics has been able to reject government and foreign money, which allows them to focus on American national security and the Western Heritage. IWP isn't beholden to the new wave of left-wing anti-semitism. Wrap Up: These days, Peggy Noonan is claiming that “populism is out of control,” even though she used to work in the Reagan revolution!

What You Need to Know is don't let the left wear you down in pursuit of the truth. They can throw up distraction after distraction, process after punishment, but we can never let them wear us down, tire us out, or stop our drive in pursuing the truth and the facts. Our very republic depends on it. No matter how many states the Deep State tries to bump Trump off the ballot in, we can't let up on pursuing the paper trail of Biden family corruption. Pursue the truth, not the narrative! Dr. John R. Lott Jr. is an American economist, political commentator, and gun rights activist. He joins Ed to discuss his recent article titled ‘Why Not Enforce Existing Laws Rather Than Push for New Gun Control?' His article discusses how the perpetrator of the Maine mass shooting should have been stopped beforehand due to multiple issues that should have put him on law enforcement's radar. The laws on the books are sufficient for stopping tragedies like this one, and new gun controls won't make the matter any better. Ken Abramowitz, author of Multifront War and owner of savethewest.com, joins Ed to discuss the reds (communists), the greens (Islamists), and blues (globalists), and the threat that these groups pose to the West. The reds, greens, and blues, as he describes them, have teamed up in an alliance against the Western Heritage and its important that we stay vigilant and prepared for their unrelenting attacks. What You Need to Do is educate yourself! It's time that our American public again became well-versed on a variety of topics.

Today is National Day of the Cowboy! To celebrate we sat down with Luke Branquinho on our podcast. The practices of roping, riding, and branding found their roots in America during the 1500s when Spanish conquistadors and Mexican vaqueros introduced cattle and horses to the region. The term "rodeo" actually comes from the Spanish word "rodear," meaning round-up, and reflects the early gatherings of livestock in the vast open landscapes. During, the expansion of the American West following the Civil War, an abundance of wild cattle prompted the emergence of the term "cowboy." As the culture evolved, these cowboys organized competitive contests that eventually transformed into the modern sport of rodeo we know today. The open range served as the birthplace of rodeo, so without the continuance of working lands, one could argue that this cherished form of Western entertainment and tradition may not have persevered to this day. In this new episode of Tuned in to the Land, we are joined by five-time Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) World Champion Steer Wrestler and recent ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductee, Luke Branquinho.  Luke is a native Californian who has rodeoed across the country and across the world. Raised on a ranch in Santa Barbara County, he took the skills he learned on the family ranch and refined them into a career in professional rodeo. In this episode, Michael and Luke dive into Luke's upbringing, his family's ranching traditions, and the values instilled in him that shaped his path to becoming a world-class rodeo athlete.

The Community of Rodeo: The world of rodeo and word “community” go hand-in-hand. With roots dating back to America's agricultural and ranching past, rodeo has continued to pave-the-way for the preservation and protection of a lifestyle that is still relevant in our modern world. While modern advancements have changed the course of America's Western Heritage, the love for this lifestyle continues to thrive through the sport of rodeo.  History of Rodeo Royalty Rodeo in the West been a local tradition since it was started by families as a community festival with horse races, picnics, games and a parade. From the beginning rodeos depend on the spirit, dedication, hard work and collaboration of volunteer members to provide their community with an opportunity to experience true western heritage through the historical sport of rodeo. Riding Pretty: Rodeo Royalty in the American West (Women in the West) by Renée M. Laegreid (Author) Riding Pretty examines the history, evolution, and significance of the community-sponsored rodeo queen, from the introduction of this new phenomenon at the 1910 Pendleton Round-Up to the advent of Miss Rodeo America in 1956 and places the main theme—connection of queens to community—within the context of the evolution of rodeo as a spectator sport and the changing concepts of gender relations in the American West. From 1910 to 1956, the community-sponsored rodeo queen's role expanded, both in terms of her responsibilities and in terms of the community she represented, local, regional, and national. While each community adapted the rodeo queen phenomenon to suit the characteristics of its own celebration, the main characteristics of the role remained: the rodeo queen as a symbol of the local rodeo and as a metaphor for western women.   Meet Our Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo Queens: Mary Caldwell Weppner, Miss Frontier 1961 Mary was born and raised in Cheyenne. Mary is founding board member of the Old West Museum, serving on the committee that started the “Cheyenne Frontier Days Western Art Show and Sale” for thirty years. She went to Stephens College in Missouri and graduated from University of Wyoming majoring in speech and education. Mary is married to Ed Weppner. She and her husband Ed have three children, Rob, Ginny, and Tricia. Mary's grandfather, Dugald Whitaker moved to Wyoming in the late 1890s and developed the Whitaker Ranch along Horse Creek near Cheyenne after following one of his older brothers to Wyoming. Mary's favorite memories of her reign as Miss Frontier was traveling with Princess Bluewater as they promoted Cheyenne Frontier Days across the West especially traveling throughout Colorado.   Shirley Holmes Churchill, Miss Frontier 1979 Shirley has a long-time involvement with Cheyenne Frontier Days.  She began riding on floats and wagons in the parades as a youngster and then horseback sidesaddle.  Shirley was the first Miss Frontier to be presented the beautiful Miss Frontier saddle.  She rode this saddle in every performance for 30 years after serving as Miss Frontier, first as Miss Rodeo Wyoming 1980 and then as a run-out girl and overseeing the timed event cattle and sorting crew.  Shirley is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd R Holmes, Jr.  Shirley was raised on and is now the owner of the 114-year-old 'Centennial' family ranch on Little Bear Route north of Cheyenne.  The ranch was homesteaded in 1910 by her paternal grandparents.  True to the Holmes family's longstanding involvement with Cheyenne Frontier Days, Shirley was the third of four Holmes family Miss Frontiers.  Shirley was inducted into the Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall of Fame in 2009.  She most recently volunteers time to the Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum.  She and husband, Brad, continue the ranching traditions and legacy today on their ranches in Colorado and Wyoming.  Shirley has said; "I don't know if I am a part of Cheyenne Frontier Days or if Cheyenne Frontier Days is a part of me".   Rylee Anderson , Miss Frontier 2017  Rylee Anderson was born and raised in Burns, Wyoming and is a graduate of the University of Wyoming where she earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Agricultural Communications. Rylee was selected to become Lady in Waiting for Cheyenne Frontier Days in August of 2015 and went on to serve as Miss Frontier in 2017. She feels so fortunate to have been able to serve her year as Miss Frontier alongside her best friend, Emily Cameron, who was her Lady in Waiting. Rylee made the move to Phoenix, Arizona where she works for Wallick & Volk, Inc as a licensed Mortgage Advisor almost three years ago.

In 1994 his was judged Best of Show at the Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada. Scott Hardy's Mission As A Western Silversmith Has Always Been Twofold: Improve Each Day & Bring The Beauty & Elegance Of The West To The World One Piece At A Time "Embellishing horse and rider with precious metals is a tradition as old as man on horseback. Crossing tribal and cultural boundaries, silver and gold trappings have expressed the pride of horsemen throughout the millennia. The image of the cowboy still stirs our ideals of independence, integrity and freedom, while appreciation of things well-made, by hand, flourishes in this age of mass production and mediocrity."

I am a big fan of proactive people, people who go out and make life happen for them rather than letting life happen to them.  Our guest today, Ellas Gaes, is definitely one of those people.  Ella is a member of the Pierce High School FFA Chapter in Pierce, Nebraska.  She lives out of town with her family, and they keep horses on their property. Even though the horse was the main form of transportation throughout Europe and Asia well before North America was ever discovered, the American West has captured the horse as its symbol, almost as if horse riding originated here.  Ella embraces this culture, roping whenever and wherever she can and helping her family members in Colorado every May with their cattle branding. Ella also embraced this with her supervised agricultural experience through the FFA.  She has been making jewelry as a hobby for quite some time, and the way that things work in her FFA chapter, she was compelled to get serious about her SAE this year.  Once she really thought about what she was going to do, it became apparent to her that making and selling jewelry that celebrated the Western way of life and the West's ties to agriculture was the right fit for her.

Patrina and Anthony talk about growing up together more like siblings than cousins, how their grandpa shaped them into kind, gracious people of faith, and served as the ultimate example of Black Male Excellence for both Anthony and Patrina. They pay tribute to their Aunt Felicia Sue, who died due to complications related to Lupus in her mid-30s, reflect on the legacy they want to leave, and discuss the crucial role that Black people have played in American history and culture, and in particular, the Black Cowboy.   Anthony breaks down how ex-slaves were used to herd cattle in Texas following the Civil War, using their skills from West Africa, and how the term ‘cowboy' originated as a derogatory acronym for ‘Black-owned youth.' Anthony tells Patrina about being a trail boss, and his annual trail rides to pay homage to his ancestors and their immeasurable sacrifice on the tumultuous journey from slavery to freedom. He discusses his many television appearances, where his goal is to represent Black Western heritage to the fullest. He also offers his perspective on the ‘Urban Cowboy,' Juneteenth, and making sure that history is accurately told and shared. Patrina asks Anthony what is bringing him joy at the moment, and he concludes by encouraging listeners to research their own family history and embrace where they come from wholeheartedly.   Episode Highlights: Patrina and Anthony grew up more like siblings than cousins Anthony's perspective on their grandpa - he was the ultimate example of Black Male Excellence, and inspired everyone around him with his kindness and commitment to family Aunt Felicia Sue and her early death due to complications related to Lupus in her mid-30s Reflections on the legacy they want to leave and gratitude for their ancestors The history and legacy of the Black Cowboy, and Anthony's passion for representing Western heritage Anthony is a trail boss, and he conducts trail rides to pay homage to the sacrifices of his ancestors on their journey from slavery to freedom This is a spiritual experience that he leads once a year Story of one of the first trail bosses, George W. Bush (born in 1834) Anthony's appearances on several television shows, including ‘Braxton Family Values' and ‘High on the Hog' Anthony's thoughts on Juneteenth, and why emancipation for enslaved people in Texas was delayed for two years His adorable six-month-old grandson brings him immense joy and light His advice to research your own family history and celebrate your heritage Quotes: “I am my ancestors' wildest dreams. I am because they were.”    “I think it is important, at some point, to think about the legacy you want to leave. And you can't wait until the 11th hour to be thinking about that.”   “I'm trying to leave a legacy by representing our Western Heritage and our history in America. Our influence is everywhere, as far as Black people. Our influence is everywhere...we are America. America was built on our backs, built off our knowledge and our wisdom. And history hasn't been accurately taught or portrayed.”   “During that 30-year span after the Civil War, the African American soldiers and some of the guys who actually freed slaves...they needed to move cattle out of Texas, and they brought their skills from West Africa on how to get cattle out of the woods.”   “You couldn't call a white wrangler, at the time, a cowboy. That was the name they would call as they're identifying their labor force.”   “Then after all the accolades that came about, and Hollywood started making Westerns, and they would use the word cowboy because of the stories - a lot of these stories were from Black cowboys. Like The Lone Ranger - that's based off of a Black man. So it was just how our history hasn't been properly documented or shared.”    “The trail ride is to give accolades to the trails that came before us and represent our travels from the great migrations.”   “When you go out on the trail, you actually feel the presence of your ancestors.”   “I represent our heritage to the fullest.”   “Whatever I can do to keep the culture alive and feed it to anybody, I'll do it. And I'll do it without any pay. I do it because I want us to keep our culture - because I want us to know that this is our culture as well. It's not just their culture, it's our culture. It's our history.”   “My grandson's bringing me joy. I have a six-month-old grandson. I light up his life, and he lights up mine.”   Links:   Joyfully You Life homepage   Joyfully You Life Instagram   Joyfully You Life Facebook   Joyfully You Life Twitter   Joyfully You Life linktree

Listen to Hillsdale Dialogues Podcast: http://blog.hillsdale.edu/online-courses Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith. The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law. By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.About Victor Davis HansonVictor Davis Hanson is an American military historian, columnist, former classics professor, and scholar of ancient warfare.

Check out our Frequently Asked Questions page. Introduction to the Constitution—Available Now!This twelve-lesson course explains the principles underlying the American founding as set forth in the Declaration of Independence and secured by the Constitution. The Founders believed that the principles in these documents were not simply preferences for their own day, but were truths that the sovereign and moral people of America could always rely on as guides in their pursuit of happiness through ordered liberty. Theology 101: The Western Theological TraditionThe Western theological tradition stretches back thousands of years to the time of the ancient Hebrews. This tradition has had a profound impact on the development of Western Civilization as a whole. This course will consider the origins and development of Western religious theology from the Old Testament through the twentieth century.American Heritage—From Colonial Settlement to the Current DayOn July 4, 1776, America—acting under the authority of “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God”—declared its independence from Great Britain. The new nation, founded on the principle that “all Men are created equal,” eventually grew to become the most prosperous and powerful nation in the world. This course will consider the history of America from the colonial era to the present, including major challenges to the Founders’ principles. The U.S. Supreme CourtArticle III of the U.S. Constitution vests the judicial power “in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” According to Federalist 78, the judicial branch “will always be the least dangerous” to the liberty of the American people. Yet, judicial decisions have done much to advance a Progressive agenda that poses a fundamental threat to liberty. This course will consider several landmark Supreme Court cases in relation to the Founders’ Constitution. Shakespeare: Hamlet and The TempestOne of the world’s greatest poets, William Shakespeare is the author of plays that have been read and performed for more than 400 years. A close study of his works reveals timeless lessons about human nature, which offer a mirror for examining one’s own character. In Hamlet and The Tempest, Shakespeare considers those virtues and vices that make self-government and statesmanship possible or impossible to achieve. Public Policy from a Constitutional ViewpointThe American Founders wrote a Constitution that established a government limited in size and scope, whose central purpose was to secure the natural rights of all Americans. By contrast, early Progressives rejected the notion of fixed limits on government, and their political descendants continue today to seek an ever-larger role for the federal bureaucracy in American life. In light of this fundamental and ongoing disagreement over the purpose of government, this course will consider contemporary public policy issues from a constitutional viewpoint. Athens and SpartaA study of the ancient Greek cities of Athens and Sparta is essential for understanding the beginning of the story of Western Civilization. Moreover, such a study reveals timeless truths about the human condition that are applicable in any age. This course will consider life and government in Athens and Sparta, examine their respective roles in the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars, and offer some conclusions regarding their continuing relevance. An Introduction to C.S. Lewis: Writings and SignificanceC.S. Lewis was the greatest Christian apologist of the twentieth century. He was also the author of works of fiction, including the Chronicles of Narnia, and of philosophy, including The Abolition of Man. This course will consider Lewis’s apologetics and his fiction, as well as his philosophical and literary writings, and their continuing significance today.Winston Churchill and StatesmanshipWinston Churchill was the greatest statesman of the 20th century, and one of the greatest in all of history. From a young age, Churchill understood the unique dangers of modern warfare, and he worked to respond to them. Though best known for his leadership during World War II, he was also a great defender of constitutionalism. A close study of Churchill’s words and deeds offers timeless lessons about the virtues, especially prudence, required for great statesmanship. The Federalist PapersWritten between October 1787 and August 1788, The Federalist Papers is a collection of newspaper essays written in defense of the Constitution. Writing under the penname Publius, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay explain the merits of the proposed Constitution, while confronting objections raised by its opponents. Thomas Jefferson described the work as “the best commentary on the principles of government, which ever was written.” This course will explore major themes of The Federalist Papers, such as the problem of majority faction, separation of powers, and the three branches of government. A Proper Understanding of K-12 Education: Theory and PracticeThe American Founders recognized the central importance of education for the inculcation of the kind of knowledge and character that is essential to the maintenance of free government. For example, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 states, “Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.” This course will consider the older understanding of the purpose of education, the more recent Progressive approach that has become dominant today, and some essential elements of K-12 education.The Presidency and the ConstitutionThis free, 10-week, not-for-credit course, taught by the Hillsdale College politics faculty, will help you understand the structure and function of executive power in the American constitutional order. The course begins with the place of the president in the constitutionalism of the Founding Fathers and examines how that role has changed with the rise of the modern Progressive administrative state.Great Books 102: Renaissance to ModernThis 11-week, not-for-credit course, taught by Hillsdale College faculty, will introduce you to great books from the Renaissance through the modern era. You will explore the writings of Shakespeare, Dostoevsky, Austen, Twain, and more.

The course will examine a number of original source documents from the Founding period, including especially the Declaration of Independence and The Federalist Papers. The course will also consider two significant challenges to the Founders’ Constitution: the institution of slavery and the rise of Progressivism.Great Books 101: Ancient to MedievalThis 11-week, not-for-credit course, taught by Hillsdale College faculty, will introduce you to great books from antiquity to the medieval period. You will explore the writings of Homer, St. Augustine, Dante, and more.

Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice is the true story of the strong-arm, illegal, and unethical tactics used by headline-grabbing federal prosecutors in their narcissistic pursuit of power. Its scope reaches from the US Department of Justice to the US Senate, the FBI, and the White House. This true story is a scathing attack on corrupt prosecutors, the judges who turned a blind eye to these injustices, and the president who has promoted them to powerful political positions.  Support Hillsdale College: https://secured.hillsdale.edu/hillsda...

This edition of OWC RADiO comes to you during the height of the COVID-19 virus quarantines. At times like this, we are able to spend more time with family, tackle projects around the house, cook, garden, play music or sing, check social media. Many of us are reading more and one of the most popular genres is classical Western fiction. Host, Cirina Catania, catches up with John Moore, an award-winning journalist, popular best-selling novelist, photographer, cowboy, rancher, and minister. Although on the surface this might be considered a departure from our "regular" programming, which is normally about tech and the creativity that drives it, this interview is about courage, perseverance, and honesty. All qualities that make us better storytellers. And since that is our end goal, we share this conversation with you. A third-generation Montana rancher and cowboy, John's work is noted for his authenticity and vivid descriptions of life in the Western United States. John grew up on a cattle ranch but left it to pursue life on the road during the "hippie" era. What he learned and what he brought back shortly before his father died, resonates with millions of readers who want to know more about life. He is a storyteller, who keeps history, tall tales and true stories of ranchers and cowboys alive. Some of his most known books include The Breaking of Ezra Riley, The Land of Empty Houses and Looking for Lynne, which won the silver medal in the 2015 Will Rogers Medallion Award for Western Fiction. John was recently inducted into the 2019 class of the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage, a nod shared with Pulitzer Prize winner Dorothy Johnson ("A Man Called Horse"), Pulitzer Prize winner A.B. Guthrie Junior and Norman McLean ("A River Runs Through It") among others. It's been a bumpy road with lots of trail dust, but the inspiration gets us off our straight and narrow.

First, an interesting coincidence I want to share. It’s middle-evening on Friday here in the Poconos, Pennsylvania where I’m getting ready to participate in a race tomorrow morning at 7:30 am. From the starting line, I’m going to race down the mountain in a Spartan race. It’s an obstacle course Spartan race that I’ve done several times. It’s my big challenge of the year. The irony is that I have on my Podcast today, an expert in ancient Greece. His name is Paul Rahe. Paul has written a trilogy of books on Sparta and the Spartans. The third volume being released in a few weeks. You’ll find a link to it on the podcast notes page along with the other two books in this trilogy. I’ve read these books, which are fantastic, and I’m endlessly fascinated with Spartans for a couple of reasons. I’ve always been fascinated with the Samurai, the Comanche, the Mongols, the Knights, etc. I just love these classic cultures and I think it’s because there’s a heroic myth. There’s a heroic part in all of us that’s symbolized by these cultures. The Spartans stand out for this and I really wanted to get into:   What is the history and what does a true historian say about Sparta and the Spartans? What is the research that’s been going on? Why have the legends of the Spartans persisted for 1,500 years? What can we learn from them – as people, as a culture? We are 250 years into this great American experiment, and the Spartans lasted about 400 years. What made them so dominant, and then, why did they fail? Paul and I talk about the strengths of the Spartans, their innovation on the battlefield and how they actually fought using certain formations and such. The discomfort of how they raised their boys and forced them to become these fearsome warriors and leaders of the world and why they failed. How did the innovation that the Spartans were known for on the battlefield decline as they were innovated around and out maneuvered? Now, we’re in the nuclear age, but how did Spartan’s battle differ from the Civil War, WWI and WWII and differ from other warriors in the classic age as well. Paul and I discuss that. I find it interesting talking to scholars about their deep interests because I think there are lessons that we can all learn as leaders. If you take a step back and peer into the past, there are lessons there that we can learn. I’m very excited about this episode, it’s very appropriate for me, and I know you’re going to find this very, very interesting. With that, I want to introduce you to my great conversation with historian, Paul Rahe. If you are a leader today you will like this Podcast for the following reasons: It will dispel myths surrounding the Spartans You will learn about the role discomfort played in raising Spartan boys How the Spartans were disrupted by battlefield innovation Why no one develops movies or books about Athens, but instead focus on Spartans How warriors were killed in classic-period warfare Four Main Strengths that made Spartans so fearsome: Endurance, Strength, Mobility, and Prestige (or I would say, reputation) Paul A. Rahe holds The Charles O. Lee and Louise K. Lee Chair in the Western Heritage at Hillsdale College, where he is Professor of History. He majored in History, the Arts and Letters at Yale University, read Litterae Humaniores at Oxford University’s Wadham College on a Rhodes Scholarship, and then returned to Yale to do his PhD in ancient Greek history under the direction of Donald Kagan. He has been awarded fellowships by the Center for Hellenic Studies, The National Humanities Center, the Institute of Current World Affairs, the John M. Olin Foundation, the Center for the History of Freedom at Washington University, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Clair Hall at Cambridge University, All Souls College at Oxford University, The American Academy in Berlin, the Social Philosophy and Policy Center at Bowling Green University, and the Hoover Institution. In 2006, the French Historical Society awarded him the Koren Prize for the Best Article Published in French History in 2005. He is very excited about his newest book, Sparta’s First Attic War: The Grand Strategy of Classical Sparta, 478-446 B.C., a companion volume to The Spartan Regime: It’s Character, Origins, and Grand Strategy; and The Grand Strategy of Classical Sparta: The Persian Challenge, that explores the collapse of the Spartan Athenian alliance, is due to be released on August 6, 2019.

Where Hollywood Hides: Television | Movies | Music | Show Business | Writing | Producing | Directing | Acting

Few show business professionals can lay claim to the track record of acclaimed TV writer and author John Wilder. Having amassed hundreds of credits as a writer and producer for his work in radio, television, and film, John is the creative force behind such iconic television fare as Spenser for Hire, Lonesome Dove, The Streets of San Francisco, The Yellow Rose and the epic adaptation of James Michener’s Centennial. In this informal conversation, you’ll hear how John worked his way into television and film acting, appearing in early teen movies and as a regular guest performer on dozens of shows like Broken Arrow, Wagon Train, and The Real McCoys. As so often happens in show business, it was a personal connection–this one with Chuck Connors, star of TV’s hit western The Rifleman—that led to his first television writing gig.   From that point on, John wrote and produced some of the most iconic TV series of the era, winning multiple Emmy nominations, the Chicago International Film Festival Award, a pair of Western Heritage awards, and two trips to the winner’s circle at the Writers Guild of America’s Awards. Listen carefully to this interview, and you’ll hear John outline for you his blueprint for Hollywood success and creative longevity. You’ll also get the inside story on Nobody Dies in Hollywood, John’s gritty debut novel–a compelling and rapid-fire read that rubs the reality of headline crimes against the underbelly of Hollywood at its glitzy best and introduces a uniquely contemporary hero into the literary private detective genre. This candid interview tells the unique story of John Wilder, a man who has literally “led three lives” with careers as an actor, producer-writer, and now as a major novelist. He’s truly a remarkable talent, and hearing him tell his own story is both entertaining for fans of his work and inspiring for those hoping to follow in his footsteps.

Bay Native Circle showcases the work of renown artist, Michael Horse. He is of Yaqui, Mescalero Apache, Zuni, European and Hispanic descent, was born in a place he calls “near Tucson”. He comes from an artistically talented family of jewelers, potters and painters. A true modern day renaissance man, Michael is a jeweler, actor, stunt man, sculptor, painter and activist. As an actor, he has appeared in many movies and on television, including Twin Peaks, Passenger 57, Lakota Woman, and the CBC Canadian series, North of 60. His works of art have been shown in galleries throughout the world, and are currently available at the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles, the Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles, the Eiteljorg Museum in Indiana, Kiva Fine Art Gallery in Santa Fe, and Gathering Tribes Gallery in Berkeley, California. “I go back and forth in my work, from the traditional to the contemporary, and I learn on this journey how the both are connected. One of the most rewarding aspects of being a jeweler is when I meet someone for the first time who owns a piece of my art, and they tell me how much they enjoy it and how many compliments they receive when they wear it. To me, that is a feeling like no other.” Having been a jeweler for over 30 years, he has seen many innovations in traditional Native art. He is very proud of the paths that Native art have taken, as well as the path that it is moving toward with younger artists. He himself was inspired by some of his peers, including Charles Loloma and Alan Houser, and hopes that some day younger people might learn from and be inspired by some of his work. He says that, “If somebody asked me how I would like to end my career, I would say I would like it to end with inspiring younger artists. I'm very interested in our youth. In the last few years, I've become involved with working with inner city and rural native youth, hoping that I might be able to steer them toward a more positive and creative path.” The post Bay Native Circle – May 7, 2008 appeared first on KPFA.
