In How the New World Became Old: The Deep Time Revolution in America (Princeton UP, 2024), Caroline Winterer, William Robertson Coe Professor of History and American Studies at Stanford University, takes her reader on a journey through the historical strata of the United States' relationship with deep time. From the early days of the republic to the first half of the twentieth century, Winterer retraces how the study of the continent's geological past provided Americans with “a vocabulary with which to frame their nation's place in the cosmic order.” If the bones of dinosaurs found in the West play an expected part in this history, the book highlights the forgotten roles of less conspicuous, yet just as fascinating, fossils, such as the remains of Silurian trilobites and Carboniferous ferns.  The book shows how fossil finds throughout history helped re-imagine, many times over, the past, present, and future of the United States. Far from simply ennobling the “New World” with an antiquity that could compete with the depth of Europe's past, the study of American fossils influenced how Americans thought about the origins, landscapes, resources, and the many peoples of the continent. Indeed, if the author makes room for the intriguing developments of paleontological discoveries and the riveting story of how “Americans crafted a virtual deep time” made of paintings, magic lanterns, and other models, she also addresses the violence, both toward ecosystems and people, often justified by deep time imaginaries. Through its historical investigation, How the New World Became Old reminds the reader that today's responses to intertwined ecological and social challenges will inevitably be informed by our conceptions of deep time.

If you want to rethink your classroom in exciting and innovative ways, this conversation is for you. Today we feature a motivating conversation with Erica Winterer, a PhD candidate in STEM education at the University of Texas Austin where she is working under the direction of Yuri Treisman. She earned her undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering and then taught for two years in the Teach for America program and two additional years at the high school level in New Orleans. Erica calls attention to the importance of parents who model a strong work ethic, the power of regularly reflecting on and talking about teaching, and her hopes for students in her classroom that extend far beyond the content. And, a little bit of a spoiler alert, she also sneaks in some thoughts about adopting a 7-year-old daughter while finishing her dissertation. So, please join us as we talk with Erica Winterer.

Art and travel-lover Sue Thompson of La Cucina in Victoria, Minn., returns to the oil paintings of Ashley Dull to enjoy her handling of light on trees. “Her paintings are layered, layered, layered with lots of oil paint and so colorful. The leaves on the ground in her fall colors look as if you could step on the leaves and hear the crunch,” Thompson says. Thompson particularly loves Dull’s painting “A Path Forward,” where two paths through a sun-lit birch forest come together as one. The painting took Dull 10 years to complete, as she paused after her children were born. “She’s amazing at capturing the light,” Thompson said. Vasiliki Papanikolopoulos founded Coimatan to celebrate local independent businesses. At Gallery 360 in Minneapolis, she discovered the mixed media art of Neysa Winterer. What Papanikolopoulos first thought to be brush strokes in Winterer’s art turned out to be carefully torn pieces of paper. Winterer uses those bits of paper to mimic the impressionist brush strokes of Vincent van Gogh as well as to create her own landscapes and miniature scenes of homes. Karl Sundquist of Virginia, Minn., who plays in the bands Big Waves and Bonfires and Pocket Knife, took an early listen to the newest album by Rich Mattson and the North Stars, and likes what he hears. The album “Skylights” is more widely available on Friday. In lieu of a release party, the band will hold an “interactive video celebration” on YouTube that includes several homemade song videos. Mattson is based on the Iron Range, where he runs the Sparta Sound recording studio in addition to playing his own music. His band has “an unbelievable, rich, good rock sound,” Sundquist said.

Matt Hall has a long-form interview with former Mayor and incumbent Ted Winterer, who is running for his third term on Santa Monica City Council. He is the only incumbent running that earned his seat by winning an election, compared to the 4 others who were all appointed to their Council seat at different times. Ted talks about listening to residents, connection to government, police response to looting on May 31. They discuss homelessness, economic recovery, and how Santa Monica can help local businesses start and restart again.

On this episode I had the pleasure of hosting someone who literally changed my life.  I met Seth Winterer in 2007 at the Digital Dealer conference.  Seth had been leading sales efforts at ReachLocal and was tasked with growing their automotive business.  It took a few months, but I ended up working with Seth and the ReachLocal team for a few years where we built millions of dollars in automotive SEM business.  On the surface, Seth is calm, calculated and considerate.  If you're fortunate enough to become his friend, you find out he's also quietly confident, very competitive and extremely capable.  I consider Seth among the more elusive jedi-like digital marketing professionals.  He's part salesman (and a damn good one), part Don Draper, part level 5 leader (Good to Great reference) and part passionate father who loves Porsche, a little heavy metal from time to time and baseball.  Seth is the founder and CEO of Digital Logic in Shreveport, LA and an old friend I know you'll enjoy hearing from.

-- Our Story -- About 10 years ago, my friend Divya, and myself, took a leap of faith in our search for happiness and a higher purpose in life, and joined a monastery in the vedic tradition. We were tired of seeing the sometimes emptiness and superficiality of life and relationships. At that time Divya was at the top of his career as a business consultant and project manager for a global fortune-500 company. After leaving all that to join the monastery, he used his skills to serve as a leader and manager within the spiritual community. I had been on a 10 year long world trip, learning first-hand about the lives and struggles of humanity. Now we want to share the wisdom we have received on a larger scale. So we asked ourselves, where could we be most effective? The answer for us is where people spend most of their life - at work. -- The Challenge -- Work related stress is a rising cause for concern. According to the Job-Stress-Index 2018 (Source: gesundheitsfoerderung.ch) more than 27% of the Swiss workforce are in a critical zone of work related stress - with that trend increasing! Not only does it affect people personally, with mental and physical health concerns, but it affects the company’s performance and profits as well as society in general. For workplaces to transform and be inspiring and fulfilling for everyone, the leadership needs to set the direction. -- What we are looking for: -- Business leaders who want to step into the future, the way of caring and connecting - a purpose driven and fulfilling life for everyone. And more success of course! Why? Because conscious and caring companies will naturally attract talented team members, thus ensuring that these companies survive and thrive into the next generation of business, “Conscious Capitalism”. A permanent solution changes the root of interpersonal relationships, and the fundament about how we see ourselves relating to the team of people we work with and for. A purpose driven life. It is not necessary for everyone to join a monastery to learn about the meaning of life. It is only necessary to want to grow and evolve as a human being, and contribute to the lives of others.

At a time when kings and emperors ruled the world, the Founding Fathers of the US were striving to resurrect a millennia-old dream: that of a free republic. Drawing inspiration from ancient Athens, the Roman Republic, and Carthage, they helped craft a society that was at once radically new and rooted in antiquity. Joining us to explore the influence of classical models on early American history is Caroline Winterer, professor of American History and of Classics at Stanford University and director of Stanford's Center for Humanities. Winterer is the author of American Enlightenments: Pursuing Happiness in the Age of Reason and of The Mirror of Antiquity: American Women and the Classical Tradition, 1750–1900 among many other books and articles exploring the connections between antiquity and the early American experience. ------------------ The intro to this episode was provided by hosts Bry and Fry of the Pontifacts podcast, offering a humorous history of the papacy from Peter to Pope Francis. Check out their show here!

Caroline Winterer is the Anthony P. Meier Family Professor in the Humanities at Stanford University. American Enlightenments: Pursuing Happiness in the Age of Reason (Yale University Press, 2016) gives us a glimpse into how eighteenth-century Americans, as the “first prophets of tomorrow,” thought of enlightenment, what it meant and how to achieve it. For centuries, enlightenment had a religious meaning of the soul awakening to divine light; increasingly it meant using reason and empirical evidence as guides and exchanging tradition and divine revelation for a humanistic and historical view of the world. The aim was nothing short of the pursuit of happiness. Winterer challenges mid-twentieth-century Cold War conceptualization of an American Enlightenment, as largely an appropriation of European ideas. The language of enlightenment was ubiquitous among educated Americans and applied to a broad range of endeavors. She demonstrates how the encounter with Indians, the expansion of slavery, the application of political economy, and the emergence of natural religion allowed Americans to contribute to a transatlantic conversation. By placing American thinkers within a transnational and a fresh hemispheric context and by adding local particularity Winterer allows us to see the diversity of American Enlightenments.
