Bernard Berenson’s War Diaries
In musing about the War Diaries (1939-45) of Bernard Berenson, a Jewish art critic and historian of the Renaissance, Watts discusses the falsity of some efforts to disavow the ego, and a syndrome of fear of experience that prevents some people from living life fully.

S H 11-03-23 SS What brings you your greatest joy? How do you access your inner “awesome”? Nataly Kogan has made it her life’s work to help people overcome burnout and break free from endless busyness. In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Nataly about her new book, The Awesome Human Journal, and the practical steps we can begin to take right now to shift out of self-defeating thought patterns (and their corresponding emotions), reclaim our energy, and share our gifts with the world.
Tune in as Tami and Nataly discuss insights from neuroscience that everyone should know; the human brain’s negativity bias; creating a better relationship with your thoughts—a key to well-being and emotional fitness; the worst-case scenario exercise; finding certainty in uncertain times; working within your sphere of impact; cultivating agency; freedom from skepticism and mistrust; living an aligned life in a universe that is friendly; energetic self-care; breaking the habit of denying ourselves joy; changing our habitual frame of reference to something positive and supportive; and more.

The Magical Mystery Tour with Tonio Epstein
The Path to Being Nature and What we can Re-Learn from Our Animal Kin w/ Gay Bradshaw
Gay Bradshaw is the founder and director of The Kerulos Center for Nonviolence. She holds doctoral degrees in ecology and psychology and was the first scientist to recognize and diagnose PTSD in Elephants, Chimpanzees, Orcas, and other Animals. She is the director and primary caregiver for rescued domesticated Animals and Indigenous Wildlife at Grace Village, formerly The Tortoise and the Hare Sanctuary. Her books include the Pulitzer-nominated Elephants on the Edge: What Animals Teach Us about Humanity; Carnivore Minds: Who These Fearsome Animals Really Are; Talking with Bears: Conversations with Charlie Russell; and The Elephant Letters: The Story of Billy & Kani. She is the co-author of The Evolved Nest: Nature’s Way of Raising Children & Creating Connected Communities with Darcia Narvaez.
In this interview / conversation we talk about the beautiful social and emotional intelligence of animal communities in the wild that we have lost during our last 10,00+ years of agricultural, colonial and industrial modernity. And what it would take to regain that which came naturally to humans before that.
In the dazzle of Nature’s extraordinary diversity, it’s easy to overlook how similar we are. Even though humans & other Animals look different on the outside, inside, beneath the fur, fins, feathers, scales & skin we are very much alike, including our brains. Animals ranging from the giant Sperm Whale & the tuxedoed Penguins to the ancient African Elephant & the astonishing Octopus share with humans, brain structures and processes that give us capacities for consciousness, thinking, feeling, loving & dreaming. We also share a common system for raising our young: the evolved nest.
The Magical Mystery Tour is a show that dives into the heart of things exploring new ideas and new ways of seeing and being in this wondrous crazy world we share together. New shows are available weekly by Monday. Feel free to contact Tonio at 802-229-5123 or tonio@together.net

FINDING A WAY OUTTA NO WAY
Halloween Lunar Eclipse “Finding a way outta no way”, Caroline welcomes Sean Padraic O’Donohue, Bardic guide, at this time when the dead speak to the living, at this waxing Full Moon lunar eclipse, when we see the earth’s shadow, visible as it turns red over Gaza and Israel Saturday night, that we may do all we can to animate the desirable, invoke necessary miracles; That we honor the Moon, exalted in Taurus, the sacredness of all life, that it not be sacrileged by the cruel devolutionary nadir of our rogue species… The Moon’s guiding image will be “A cantilever bridge over a rocky gorge, finding a way to get from here to there.” https://otherworldwell.com/

Palestinian Resistance and (media) Censorship
https://covertactionmagazine.com/2023/10/25/covertaction-bulletin-palestinian-resistance-and-censorship/
Protests across the world in solidarity with Palestine are building a support movement for the Palestinian resistance and cause, showing leaders that people from the U.S. to the UK to Yemen and Jordan and beyond stand with the Palestinian people in their fight against the U.S.-backed Israeli occupation. These protests are changing the shape of media coverage and influencing popular opinion and the debate over the issue.
At the same time, social media companies like Twitter and Meta have been attempting to censor pro-Palestinian content. One video listing the hospitals that Israel has bombed was taken off Instagram after gaining 12 million views. The Twitter account for Palestine Action U.S. was not followable for many days. But information continues to spread quickly, keeping the solidarity movement going.
We’re joined by Janine Hourani of the Palestinian Youth Movement in the UK to talk about these movements and developments. https://linktr.ee/CovertActionBulletin

Which mistakes Israel is likely to make in Gaza; and Book Author interview – A Fear of Too Much Justice: Race, Poverty, and the Persistence of Inequality in the Criminal Courts https://scholarscircle.org/
Rage and a desire for vengeance after 9/11 drove the US to violate human rights on a mass scale. What were those mistakes and what lessons do they offer to others dealing with political violence? How much does rage and demands for vengeance undermine peace? [dur:28mins.]
Steve Swerdlow, esq. is Associate Professor of the Practice of Human Rights in the Department of Political and International Relations at the University of Southern California. A human rights lawyer and expert on the former Soviet region, Swerdlow was Senior Central Asia researcher at Human Rights Watch, heading the organization’s work on Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, and founding its Kyrgyzstan field office. He worked as a human rights monitor for the Union of Council for Soviet Jews (UCSJ) as their Caucasus monitor in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia as well as with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Russia.
Brent Sasley is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Texas, Arlington. He is the author of the book Politics in Israel: Governing a Complex Society and the book chapter “The End of Oslo and The Second Intifada, 2000-2005.”
Then, How much does race and class determine legal outcomes in the United States? What role does the prosecutor play in the justice system?
We speak with the co-author of a new book A Fear of Too Much Justice: Race, Poverty, and the Persistence of Inequality in the Criminal Courts. Co-authors are legendary death penalty opponent Stephen Bright and legal scholar James Kwak. [dur: 28mins.]
Our guest James Kwak is a former professor of law at the University of Connecticut and chairperson of the board of the Southern Center for Human Rights. His co-author is Stephen Bright. He teaches law at Yale and Georgetown Universities. He was director of the Southern Center for Human Rights and won multiple capital cases in the Supreme Court.
From the publisher:
Almost 70 years ago Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black wrote there “can be no equal justice where the kind of trial a man gets depends on the amount of money he has.” In THE FEAR OF TOO MUCH JUSTICE: Race, Poverty, and the Persistence of Inequality in the Criminal Courts (The New Press; June 20; 2023), legendary death penalty opponent Stephen Bright and legal scholar James Kwak show the myriad ways the US criminal legal system fails to live up to this ideal of fairness: Innocent people are condemned to death and convicted of crimes because they cannot afford lawyers and because of the color of their skin. Racial discrimination in jury selection still lives in communities that have substantial Black and Latino populations. The mentally disabled are incarcerated instead of given the treatment they need, while the poor are processed through many courts with little or no legal representation in an assembly-line fashion. And many courts act as centers of profit whose main purpose is to raise money by imposing fines on the most vulnerable in their community and jailing them when they cannot pay.
But Bright and Kwak also see the promise of meaningful change on the horizon. They point to jurisdictions across the political spectrum that have made significant progress. The use of the death penalty has plummeted, and the authors see a future where it will remain in only the most ardent holdouts. Public defender offices that protect clients from wrongful convictions have been established across the country, and many places have reduced the use of cash bail and stopped imposing fines and fees on people who cannot afford them.
The book makes the case that prosecutors have too much power and defense lawyers are often out-gunned and incentivized to encourage plea bargains. How should the system rectify this? What is the first step in fixing this imbalance?
This program is produced by Ankine Aghassian, Doug Becker, Mihika Chechi, Melissa Chiprin, and Sudd Dongre.
