Shadow Work for the Soul: Seeing Beauty in the Dark, part 2
This is the second half of Tonio Epstein's interview with Mary Shutan, a spiritual healer and teacher with an extensive background in Chinese Medicine, energy work and somatic bodywork. She is the author of several books, including The Spiritual Awakening Guide, Managing Psychic Abilities, The Shamanic Workbook, and The Body Deva, and her new book is Shadow Work for the Soul: Seeing Beauty in the Dark.
In this interview we dive into some of the practices and benefits of doing shadow work. We discuss inner child work, the collective shadow, working with archetypes and what they are in this realm. We also talk about our shadow relationships with politicians, celebrities and narcissists, and the costly dynamics of not doing our own shadow work. And how the shadow is the source of our joy and power, and how to take it back from the external world to revitalize ourselves and our relationship with the world and everything in it.

Old Radio Break
The Adventures of the Thin Man
The Case of the Moon Murder and The Case of the All-American Menace
Following up on the Lux Radio Theater radio dramatizations of two Thin Man movies based on Dashiell Hammett's characters Nick and Nora Charles, portrayed on screen by William Powell and Myrna Loy, here are a couple of episodes of the radio series. These, as well as a Sam Spade series based on Hammett's Maltese Falcon novel and film, were impacted by the Red Scare and the Hollywood Black List; Hammett's name was removed because he was tainted as a communist sympathizer or "fellow traveler" and one of the actors was also dropped after his name was printed in Red Channels, the publication that claimed to uncover communists in Hollywood.
The Adventures of the Thin Man radio series, initially starring Les Damon, was broadcast on all four major radio networks during the years 1941 to 1950. Claudia Morgan had the female lead role of Nora Charles throughout the program's entire nine-year run. The radio series was modeled after the film series which was based on the 1934 Dashiell Hammett novel. The first series, sponsored by Woodbury Soap, aired on NBC Wednesdays at 8pm from July 2, 1941 to December 23, 1942. Les Damon portrayed detective Nick Charles, and he continued in the role into 1943. Sponsored by General Foods (Post Toasties, Maxwell House Coffee, Sanka), the next series began on CBS January 8, 1943, airing on Fridays at 8:30pm and some Sunday timeslots and continuing until December 26, 1947. Les Tremayne and David Gothard were heard as Nick Charles in 1944-45, with Tremayne still in the role in 1945-46. Les Damon returned as Nick in 1946-47, with Tremayne back in 1948-49. The last actor to do the part was Joseph Curtin in 1950.
