Summary This episode of the Boss podcast features Dr. Jennifer Whittington sharing her experience with toxic work environments and how she navigated leaving such situations. The host, Dr. Amy Vertries, introduces the podcast as focusing on lessons not taught in residency for surgeons. Dr. Whittington discusses her first job search after residency, where she was geographically limited due to custody arrangements for her daughter. She admits she made a critical mistake by not hiring a contract lawyer to review her employment agreement, which later proved to be problematic. She emphasizes the importance of having legal counsel review contracts, even if it costs around $500, as it's worth the investment to identify potential issues. Dr. Whittington highlights several red flags she missed during her job search, particularly being prevented from speaking with the previous person who held the position. She advises that if an employer discourages contact with previous employees, it's a significant warning sign. She also stresses the importance of getting specific details in writing, such as call distribution, reimbursement, block time, and research time. The conversation then shifts to Dr. Whittington's experience leaving her toxic job. She explains how she carefully planned her exit, ensuring she had credentials at another hospital before resigning, as she anticipated retaliation. She maintained professionalism throughout the difficult two-month notice period, despite facing verbal abuse and humiliation. She shares how staff members showed their support by organizing a farewell party for her despite management's disapproval. Dr. Whittington then discusses her second job, which was a positive experience. She only left this position to care for her sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer. She explains how she took trauma call to pay off her substantial legal fees ($320,000) from her divorce and custody battle, which ultimately made her a better surgeon while helping her become debt-free. Throughout her journey, Dr. Whittington emphasizes the importance of building a support network or "village." When her initial support system fell apart during her divorce, she rebuilt it with colleagues, friends, and community members. She shares emotional stories of friends who supported her during financial hardship, including a friend who traveled to visit her and treated her to simple pleasures like pedicures and ice cream when she couldn't afford groceries. Dr. Whittington concludes by discussing her current position at a hospital where she provides care to underserved populations. She expresses her passion for ensuring that patients at safety-net hospitals receive the same standard of care as those at private hospitals. She also mentions her commitment to mentoring medical students, residents, and PhD students, showing them that they can have successful careers despite personal challenges. The episode ends with Dr. Whittington advocating for subsidized childcare for surgical trainees at a national level, noting that the stress of arranging and paying for childcare can prevent surgeons from focusing on becoming the best they can be professionally. Chapters Introduction to the Boss Podcast and Topic of Toxic Jobs  00:00:00 Dr. Amy Vertries introduces the podcast, explaining that it focuses on lessons not taught in residency for surgeons. She mentions that two of their most downloaded episodes deal with leaving toxic jobs, and introduces Dr. Jennifer Whittington who will share her experience with toxic work environments and how she navigated leaving such situations. Dr. Whittington's First Job Search and Contract Mistakes  00:01:13 Dr. Whittington discusses her first job search after residency, explaining she was geographically limited due to custody arrangements for her daughter. She admits she made a critical mistake by not hiring a contract lawyer to review her employment agreement, which later proved to be problematic. A lawyer who reviewed it years later told her "no one reasonable would have allowed you to sign this." She emphasizes the importance of having legal counsel review contracts, even if it costs around $500, as it's worth the investment to identify potential issues. Red Flags in Job Interviews and Importance of Due Diligence  00:02:36 Dr. Whittington highlights several red flags she missed during her job search, particularly being prevented from speaking with the previous person who held the position. She advises that if an employer discourages contact with previous employees, it's a significant warning sign. She also stresses the importance of getting specific details in writing, such as call distribution, reimbursement, block time, and research time to avoid being "used and abused." Identifying Toxic Workplace Environments  00:09:22 Dr. Whittington describes signs of a toxic workplace, including lack of respect, being condescended to in front of team members, and feeling uncomfortable with the standard of care provided. She shares her father's advice about being able to "look at yourself in the mirror at night" and feel good about what you did that day, noting that in her toxic job, she couldn't say that about the care being provided. Transitioning Out of a Toxic Job  00:12:33 Dr. Whittington explains how she carefully planned her exit from her toxic job, ensuring she had credentials at another hospital before resigning, as she anticipated retaliation. She discusses the documentation needed when changing jobs, including licensure verification, risk management documentation, case logs, and letters of recommendation. She emphasizes the importance of having allies who can help navigate this process. Maintaining Professionalism During Resignation  00:15:21 Dr. Whittington shares how she maintained professionalism during her difficult two-month notice period, despite facing verbal abuse and humiliation. Her mantra was "I am the consummate professional," which helped her not react negatively to poor treatment. She shares how staff members showed their support by organizing a farewell party for her despite management's disapproval. Second Job Experience and Family Emergency  00:18:03 Dr. Whittington discusses her second job, which was a positive experience. She only left this position to care for her sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer. She explains how the administration was supportive and even held her position as long as possible. She helped interview her replacement and assured them it was a good practice to join. Financial Challenges and Overcoming Debt  00:24:56 Dr. Whittington reveals how she took trauma call to pay off her substantial legal fees ($320,000) from her divorce and custody battle. This experience not only helped her become debt-free but also made her a better surgeon by improving her efficiency and thoughtfulness. She explains her fear of debt stemming from her lower-middle-class upbringing as a coal miner's daughter. Building a Support Network or "Village"  00:33:10 Dr. Whittington emphasizes the importance of building a support network or "village." When her initial support system fell apart during her divorce, she rebuilt it with colleagues, friends, and community members. She shares emotional stories of friends who supported her during financial hardship, including a friend who traveled to visit her and treated her to simple pleasures like pedicures and ice cream when she couldn't afford groceries. Current Position and Future Goals  00:35:26 Dr. Whittington discusses her current position at a hospital where she provides care to underserved populations. She expresses her passion for ensuring that patients at safety-net hospitals receive the same standard of care as those at private hospitals. She also mentions her commitment to mentoring medical students, residents, and PhD students, showing them that they can have successful careers despite personal challenges. Advocacy for Childcare Support in Medical Training  00:44:10 Dr. Whittington concludes by advocating for subsidized childcare for surgical trainees at a national level. She notes that the stress of arranging and paying for childcare can prevent surgeons from focusing on becoming the best they can be professionally, and expresses her passion for finding ways to address this issue through medical organizations. Action Items Dr. Whittington advised hiring a contract lawyer to review job offers, even if it costs around $500, as it's worth the investment to identify potential issues.  00:02:52 Dr. Whittington recommended always speaking to the person who previously held the position before accepting a job offer.  00:04:07 Dr. Whittington suggested going through offer letters point by point with the hiring person, discussing call distribution, reimbursement, block time, and expectations.  00:03:28 Dr. Whittington advised securing credentials at another hospital before resigning from a toxic job if retaliation is anticipated.  00:07:14 Dr. Whittington recommended preparing a resignation letter in advance when leaving a difficult workplace situation.  00:15:36 Dr. Whittington suggested maintaining professionalism when facing verbal abuse or humiliation in the workplace by using a personal mantra like "I am the consummate professional."  00:16:15 Dr. Whittington advised personally calling patients when transitioning from one practice to another to maintain the relationship and reduce guilt.  00:21:02 Dr. Whittington advocated for exploring ways to provide subsidized childcare for surgical trainees at a national level through medical organizations.  00:44:10
This Sunday we were blessed to hear from Pastor Bill Whittington as part of our pulpit swap with First Baptist Ticonderoga. From Psalm 73, we heard about how easily our hearts can envy the prosperity of the wicked and lose sight of what truly matters. But in God's presence, everything changes. When we draw near to Him, our perspective is renewed, our longings are reshaped, and we can finally say with Asaph, “Whom have I in heaven but You? … God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”For more sermons or information about our church, visit HoriconBaptist@gmail.com.#Psalm73 #GodIsMyPortion #FaithComesByHearing #HoriconBaptistChurch #AdirondackPastors #ChangedPerspective #LongingForGod

The old adage, “follow your dreams” is something that we have all heard but rarely do we ever hear about someone who actually arrived at their desired destination. Too many times, people get derailed in their pursuit due to seemingly insurmountable obstacles, unforeseen detours, or an eventual lack of interest. That's why it is always so heartwarming to hear about that individual who actually made their dreams come true.Take Texas-based steel industry executive Chris Whittington for example. As the owner and founder of a Houston-based steel company, Whittington has forged a highly respectable career in providing industrial grade metals to a region known for energy, aerospace, and manufacturing. But he had a passion beyond the industry he has so dutifully served for more than three decades. Music.Running parallel to his business pursuits, Whittington has served as a worship leader in local churches for many years, creating a natural venue for him to write and perform his own music. Over the last decade, he has released three solo albums including his latest, Bright Portal Remastered 2025 which is an updated version of his debut which was originally released in 2015.Whittington joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to talk about the powerful influence that music has had on his spiritual life. Listen as he shares what God has taught him about the value of patience in balancing a successful career in business with a burgeoning passion writing, recording, and releasing music.
John, David and Mark discussed America's renewed interest in returning to the moon through the Artemis program, comparing it to the 1960s space race and exploring its historical context and potential future goals. They examined the program's current status, including upcoming missions and challenges, while also discussing the possibility of human missions to Mars and the role of commercial space companies like SpaceX. The conversation concluded with a discussion of the political context surrounding the Artemis program and its future prospects.Mark discussed America's renewed interest in returning to the moon, comparing it to the 1961 space race against the Soviet Union, now replaced by China. Mark explained that the current Artemis program aims to establish a sustainable human presence on the moon, with the first uncrewed mission, Artemis 1, already completed, and Artemis 2 set to launch in February, which he believes will generate more public interest and debate about the moon mission's purpose and feasibility.Mark shared a story about Senator Kennedy's 1960 Democratic nomination campaign, particularly his West Virginia primary against Hubert Humphrey. He recounted how Homer Hickam, the author of Rocket Boys, attended one of Kennedy's speeches surrounded by coal miners. When asked about his policy preferences, Hickam surprisingly suggested leaving the girls in the middle, which caught Kennedy's attention and reportedly inspired him to focus on space exploration.John discussed the historical context of the moon landing, highlighting the space race with the Soviet Union and the inspiration behind the decision to go to the moon. He mentioned that mining the moon for valuable resources like titanium, aluminum, and rare earths could be a future focus, along with using water for rocket fuel and establishing a lunar base or colony. John also noted that political considerations, similar to those faced by President Kennedy, could impact the Artemis program.John and Mark discussed the potential for human missions to Mars, with Mark expressing optimism about the goal driven by Elon Musk's vision and resources. They explored the possibility of a joint NASA-SpaceX undertaking for Mars missions, while all emphasized the moon as a more immediate and achievable goal. Mark suggested that the first Mars settlers would focus on science and survival, with commercial activities likely to follow, and he highlighted the importance of creating a self-sustaining economy on Mars. They also touched on the Artemis program's cost challenges and the need for careful budget management in Washington.Mark said he is monitoring the development of SpaceX's Starship, which is planned to be used for the first astronaut mission to the moon during the Artemis III mission. He expressed doubt about SpaceX's 2027 launch promise and notes that Blue Origin is working on an alternative lunar lander. Mark was also interested in seeing plans to phase out the Space Launch System, which he criticizes for being too expensive and not sustainable for long-term lunar and Mars missions. He emphasized the need for commercial alternatives and calls for SpaceX to release information on their life support systems for Mars missions.All of us discussed the political context of the Artemis program, noting that while Trump initially proposed it, President Biden continued the initiative. He mentioned that Trump is now pushing for the program and has made some mistakes, particularly in selecting an administrator. David expressed that the current political situation does not pose a significant concern for the program's progress. As we ended, John recommended Mark Whittington's book for a deeper understanding of the program's history.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

The Artemis Program, the New Space Race with China, and the Role of Elon Musk Mark Whittington discussed the Artemis program and the new space race with China, emphasizing that the US is driven back to the moon by competition with the People's Republic of China. The moon is viewed as a source for mining and a refueling stepping stone to Mars, with Elon Musk's SpaceX playing a central role. Co-host David Livingston questioned the engineering challenge of SpaceX's Starship and life support systems for Mars. The program's sustainability depends on phasing out the costly, expendable Space Launch System (SLS).

Our Open Lines program began by delving into a wide-ranging discussion about space exploration topics including nuclear power on the Moon, micro reactors, and SpaceX's Starship program. Together we explored various challenges facing space missions, including regulatory hurdles, technical limitations, and the need for proper infrastructure, while also discussing the financial implications of space programs and the role of government involvement. The conversation ended with updates on upcoming events, including an art show by Dr. Ajay and discussions about Artemis program development, along with announcements about future Space Show programs. Joining us in our Zoom discussion were Marshall Martin, John Hunt, Dr. Sherry Bell, Dr. Ajay Kothari, and John Jossy. We had a call from Tony in Pasadena and a few emails from the live stream listening audience. I also talked about my recent Coast to Coast appearance on one or two specific topics in conjunction with anew Sunday Op-Ed by Mark Whitington.Discussion Review:I opened the discussing by my talking about nuclear power on the Moon during my recent Coast to Coast AM interview. I commented on the surprising opposition from some listeners, I was asked to comment on Secretary Duffy's proposal to explore nuclear power options for lunar habitats and I said that was strategically important for controlling valuable real estate under international space treaties, particularly given China's potential to claim territory around their first lunar nuclear power plant. The discussion highlighted regulatory challenges and the need for ground testing facilities. Both John Hunt and John Jossy agreed that while nuclear power would be necessary for polar region exploration, the timing might be premature without proper infrastructure in place. Again, for our Space Show program I often referred to the Whittington Op-Ed.Our Open Lines group discussed the development and implementation of micro nuclear reactors for lunar bases, with Ajay emphasizing the need for these small reactors, which could power about 1,000 homes, to be developed and tested. Marshall raised concerns about safety zones around these reactors, noting that while traditional reactors require large safety areas, micro reactors would need significantly smaller ones. I mentioned that NPR had reported on 100 kilowatt reactors, which could power a lunar base, and discussed the potential opposition and costs associated with such projects per Whittington. We also touched on the use of nuclear power in space missions and the design of a 50-megawatt reactor by Dr. Ajay, which could be scaled down for smaller applications.We talked a lot about the public understanding and interest in space exploration, with David expressing surprise at the lack of awareness about space program challenges per an email I received directly from a Coast to Coast listener. Ajay suggested this was due to the general audience's focus on other topics like world events and personal interests, while Marshall noted that even educated audiences lack depth of knowledge about space programs. The discussion concluded with John Jossy raising concerns about the technical challenges of an autonomous lunar lander mission by 2030, with Ajay agreeing it would likely be delayed until 2034 or 2035. By the way, I sent two email replies to the Coast listener that email me re challenges and negativity. I never got a reply from him. I also invited him to listen and participate in this OL program. He was a no show.Next, Marshall presented calculations on SpaceX's financial projections, estimating that Elon Musk would need approximately $1 billion for Starship testing and $15 billion for deploying 4,000 Starlink satellites. He suggested that Starlink could capture up to a quarter of the global communication services market, potentially generating between $40 billion to $200 billion annually, which could fund Musk's Mars project and other space initiatives. The discussion concluded with participants agreeing that while Musk's high unfavorable rating (67%) could pose political challenges, his influence on commercial space development would be difficult to replace, as other companies struggle to match SpaceX's progress in reusability and space technology.Next up was our discussion about the potential impact of government regulations on space exploration, with Marshall suggesting that adding bureaucracy could delay missions by 25 years. We also explored the topic of UFOs and UAPs, with John Hunt mentioning that Sean Duffy would be requesting a briefing on the subject. The conversation then shifted to the credibility of information in the UFO community, with David expressing skepticism about government and media integrity, and John Hunt discussing the potential for disinformation to discredit individuals sharing sensitive information. Personally, I believe the topic is so contaminated with bad information from everyone including government that it would be hard to believe anything regardless of the source or disclosure.August 24,SpaceX's Starship launch plans were mentioned with John Jossy reporting the next launch is scheduled for August 24, Sunday at 7:30 AM Eastern time, including testing of Starlink mass simulators and a raptor test in orbit. Ajay raised concerns about Starship's suitability for lunar missions, citing its large size and technical challenges, particularly regarding refueling and thrust-to-weight ratio for moon landings. The discussion concluded that a smaller vehicle like Blue Origin's New Glenn Mark 2 (approximately 30-40 tons) would be more suitable for Artemis missions than SpaceX's HLS concept, which Ajay argued is too heavy and complex for lunar transportation needs.The audience expressed concerns about delays in the Artemis program, particularly for Artemis 3, which is scheduled for 2027 but may be pushed to 2028. They expressed worry about the lack of coordination between independent projects, such as spacesuits and rovers, needed for the mission. Ajay mentioned that Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Lab is working on integrating these components through NASA contracts, but there were questions about whether this was being done effectively. The group also discussed the need for a dedicated Artemis program manager to oversee these efforts.The group discussed the importance of the double catch milestone for SpaceX's Starship program, which requires two towers for successful completion. Caller Tony shared information about a YouTube channel by Phil Sloss that provides weekly updates on Artemis development, noting that Artemis 2 is ahead of schedule. We also discussed the need for more transparency in space operations and the potential for inviting Artemis managers as guests to their program. Marshall raised questions about the cost of refurbishing Starship systems for reuse, estimating it at around 10% of the cost of a new system, though others noted that such figures are not publicly available. In learning about the excellent work by Philip Sloss regarding Artemis, I believe I spoke too soon on project management concerns for the Artemis program. I have reached out to Phil to see if he will be a Space Show guest. I will let everyone know if he accepts the invitation.Several additional topics, including the mentioning of Ajay's upcoming art show featuring 30-40 of his paintings which will be available for viewing and purchase on his website. His art website information link is posted on our blog for this program at www.thespaceshow.com. Dr. Sherry Bell mentioned Robert Zubrin's advocacy for nuclear power and his new book "The Case for Nukes." John Jossy shared information about a new book titled "A Dream Renewed: O'Neill's Vision in the 21st Century," which explores space settlements and technology. I announced upcoming guests for the Space Show, including Michael Listner discussing the administration and Comstack on Tuesday, and Mari from a biotech company focusing on artificial organs and space nanomedicine on Friday. For Sunday's show, will invite potential guests to call in and discuss their space-related projects if the scheduled guest does not confirm.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Mark Whittington on Tuesday, 7-29-25I introduced Mark, who discussed the current turmoil at NASA, describing the agency as "rudderless" due to the stalled nomination of billionaire Jared Isaacman as Administrator. Isaacman, known for funding private missions like Inspiration 4, was nominated by Donald Trump and had garnered bipartisan support, including backing from former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. However, his nomination unraveled after a post on Truth Social falsely labeled him a Democrat and criticized his connection to Elon Musk. Influenced by low-level staffer Sergio Gor—reportedly motivated by personal grievances—Trump withdrew his support. As a result, the nomination collapsed, and NASA remains without permanent leadership. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is currently serving as interim Administrator while also handling his existing responsibilities. Mark talked about Sean so don't miss his commentary on this subject.Mark talked about NASA facing significant budget cuts and internal conflict over long-term strategy. Mark mentioned the administration Artemis plans, potential commercial alternatives and the fact Congress is fighting to maintain SLS, Gateway, and more of the original NASA funding. Mark then delved into how personal and political tensions are derailing progress in U.S. space policy. Our mentioned the feud with Musk and Trump. In addition, Mark talked about how the administration's Sergio Gor appears to have played a key role in shaping Trump's negative stance toward both Musk and Isaacman, reportedly out of personal jealousy. Our guest said that these internal feuds underscore how politics—rather than merit—are influencing critical space policy decisions.More was said about Artemis and any program timelines, especially getting back to the Moon by 2028. Mark mentioned China targeting a lunar landing by 2030, which could undermine the U.S. space legacy if successful. As for lunar human landers, Mark discussed both the SpaceX effort and the Blue Origin effort as to which lander will be ready first. Our guest reported rumors suggesting SpaceX may be developing a scaled-down, crew-only version of Starship in response to mission complexity and reliability concerns. If SpaceX continues to struggle with full-scale Starship, NASA may pivot to Blue Origin's Blue Moon lander, which appears to have a more manageable development path in the near term.The proposed Golden Dome missile defense initiative became a topic of discussion. Our guest said it would depend heavily on commercial space providers for deployment. Companies such as Rocket Lab, United Launch Alliance (ULA), and Blue Origin stand to benefit from potential launch contracts. The project evokes comparisons to Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, fueled by rising geopolitical tensions and incorporating AI-based targeting systems. A caller raises concerns about the unchecked expansion of satellite constellations like Starlink, Amazon's Kuiper, and similar efforts from China and Europe. I noted that regulation remains minimal, and key issues—including satellite collisions, space debris, light pollution, and traffic management—are largely unaddressed. While international treaties exist, enforcement is weak. Mark pointed out the risks and that meaningful regulation may only come after a major incident.I asked Mark about the growing interest in space-related IPOs and SPACs, with companies like Firefly and Redwire gaining attention. However, caution was urged with Mark warning that the sector may be in a speculative bubble reminiscent of the dot-com or AI booms. He predicted a “winnowing out” where only the strongest companies survive and advises listeners to consult financial experts rather than invest based on hype.Mark was asked about his previous reporting of SpaceX working on a new line of autonomous, reentry-capable space capsules designed for orbital manufacturing and research. These capsules would operate independently in low-Earth orbit and return high-value products, such as microchips, to Earth. Launched via Starship, they could offer cheaper, crewless alternatives to space stations, with the added benefit of protecting intellectual property. SpaceX hopes to begin operations by 2030. The new company effort is named Starfall.Mark reported a CBS poll showing public interest in lunar and Martian missions is growing across all age groups, with the strongest support coming from younger generations. Livingston and Mark envision immersive experiences for future missions, including virtual reality feeds from astronaut helmets and live Zoom sessions with schoolchildren—potentially turning lunar exploration into a highly engaging and educational global event.As we were approaching the end of the program, I asked Mark about NOAA cuts. Mark was critical of proposed funding cuts to NOAA, particularly during hurricane season when weather forecasting is most critical. He views the cuts as shortsighted and part of a broader rollback of climate-related policies, such as the decision to stop classifying CO₂ as a pollutant. While he supports continued climate monitoring, he is skeptical of some regulatory changes—such as updated HVAC refrigerant rules—that impose high costs on consumers, especially in warmer states.Mark said he is writing a new book titled How We Got Back to the Moon, documenting the political and programmatic shifts driving the Artemis program. He argues that past delays were primarily due to politics and poor messaging rather than technological limitations. He supports maintaining the Wolf Amendment, which prohibits NASA-China cooperation, and sees bipartisan momentum around commercial space partnerships as a positive sign. Still, he emphasized that sustainable lunar efforts will require clear goals, stable leadership, and long-term investment.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

A new week begins with a double-bill of Lang Fairy Tales - both pretty cat-focused. The Master Cat; or Puss in Boots introduces us to a frankly psychopathic, murderous, criminal mastermind of a feline, before The History of Whittington is much more about swapping cats for more valuable things, domestic violence, and the apparent honesty of English merchants. We hope you enjoy. And also that you feel less awkward about Martin saying "Pussy" a whole bunch than he does...If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastThree Ravens is a myth and folklore podcast hosted by Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux.In each Monday episode we explore a historic county, digging into heritage, folklore and traditions, then we tell a new version of a legend from that county.

We know that our 'democracy' is, in fact, a kleptocracy that is not fit for purpose IF that purpose is the continuation of complex life on earth. The sociopaths who have stolen control show no signs of shifting to something that works, so it's way past time that ordinary people across all walks of life embraced the tools of participatory democracy and wrought the new system that we need - a new House of the People which would, finally, accrue power to those with wisdom and enact governance of, for and by the people and the planet. To do this, we need people who are intimately aquainted with these tools, who live them, breathe them, find joy and creativity in them and know how to share them in ways ordinary people understand. Our House is a collective that exists to do exactly this and in today's episode, we're talking to Katy Rubin and Oli Whittington, two of its core team, to find out what it does and how and why - and, crucially, where it could take us if we all jump on board. Katy Rubin is a Legislative Theatre practitioner and strategist based in the UK. She is founder of The People Act hub for creative civic practice. She works in partnership with local and national governments, advocacy organizations, and community groups to co-create equitable and innovative public policy through participatory processes that are joyful, creative, and inclusive. Katy is also a member of the Our House UK collective, a Senior Fellow with People Powered: Global Hub for Participatory Democracy, and a Senior Atlantic Fellow at London School of Economics, as well as former executive director of Theatre of the Oppressed NYC. Her Legislative Theatre work with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority was awarded the International Observatory of Participatory Democracy's 2022 award for Best Practice in Citizen Participation.Oli Whittington is the initiator and co-lead of Our House, drawing on his background in participatory design and democracy. Oli's work has focused on unpacking and addressing the concentration of power, including leading democratic innovation at Nesta, Shift Design's participation practice, and as a participatory designer in Arup's urban innovation studio.Together, they are working around all four nations of the UK to help bring the tools of participatory democracy to communities of place, purpose and passion. They are helping to facilitate local participatory processes with a view to creating National Charters for each Nation and then bringing people together to decide whether we want a united Charter for the whole of the UK or remain separate. To me, creating a governance system that is fit for purpose is absolutely essential to our moving forward through the pinch point of the Great Transition. If we can't find coherent, constructive, compassionate, courageous ways to work together, we're sunk—and while there might be courageous, compassionate people within the current system, the overall system is not any of these. So I dearly hope that by the end of this, you'll want to become involved. And if you're listening to this podcast as it goes out on the 16th of July 2025, you should know that there's an online event on the 18th which in an open invitation to anyone, anywhere who wants to start building an open democracy.

A bumper chapter where the Story of London follows the tale of the city as it deals with the aftermath of the death of Henry V; a tale of the city's economy starting to be reborn; why it came within an inch of seeing a pitch battle on London bridge between residents north of the river and those from Southwalk; whose side it picked in the growing partisan politics of the new regency; and above all, we look at the legacy of Dick Whittington, the three-and-one-half times mayor of the city, whose legacy transformed the city and remains to this day.
Keith Whittington is joined by Eugene Volokh, the Thomas M. Siebel Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is the author, among other works, of the textbook, The First Amendment and Related Statutes. On May 22, the Department of Homeland Security announced that Harvard University has lost its certification to participate in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program. As a consequence, international students enrolled at Harvard University will no longer be given student visas. Volokh and Whittington discuss what the administration has done and what constitutional questions it raises.

"Autistic women, especially those of us who are late identified, have spent our entire lives performing outside of our comfort zones just to survive, just to pass, to feel safe. [...] And that caused us chronic burnout, sensory overload, and a disconnection from our authentic selves. So telling us to get out of our comfort zone, it's like pouring water on someone who's already drowning", says Carole Jean Whittington. Carole returns to Autism Stories to discuss her new book Living Unmasked An Autistic Women's Guide to Get Into Your Comfort Zone .Thank you to TR Sun for their song “All Good” on todays episode. if you would like to follow along or if your like me and seeing the lyrics make listening to music more accessible to you then check them out here: https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&sca_esv=422b205cf8817bf1&rls=en&sxsrf=AHTn8zqGPy2sjBLlA11mfLQjk4Kzu84YGg:1743872297655&q=&si=APYL9btOMaxI48tKjOYdlPW3RyBplN8gAQzBdTKkB2IKbJ7kM9T8RmW6e56f40nA_2X21d9mSrGLngPcOpmhvjtg5XNYJPcy7w8VeuhHph_MUnX-m-Qx_E-UjzSrmaCq_EexvqEOSFsU&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjMmtfGrsGMAxW-q4kEHc9KPP8Qv_UKegQIKRAD&biw=1428&bih=734&dpr=2Thank you very much to Amy Scurria for her opera piece "Inside" at the end of the episode.

Other topics included Boeing and NASA on their plans to repair the Starliner, Starship plans, Artemis plans and which Artemis missions might be scrapped when the new Administrator is confirmed. The Senate committee meeting with proposed Administrator Isaacman was a discussion topic along with the potential damage Musk might be doing to space and SpaceX with his politics.
