Old Radio break
The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (with Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Watson)
The Night Before Christmas
The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was an old-time radio show which aired in the USA from October 2, 1939 to July 7, 1947. Originally, the show starred Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. Together, they starred in 220 episodes which aired weekly on Mondays from 8:30 to 9:00pm. Bromo Quinine sponsored some of the earlier programs on the NBC Blue Network and for a period Parker Pen was the sponsor. The show first aired on the Blue Network but later moved to the Mutual Broadcasting System.
With Rathbone and Bruce, the show exhibited an interesting introduction. The sponsor's spokesman would show up weekly at Dr. Watson's house (then retired and living in California), and share a story about Sherlock Holmes and his adventures over a glass of Petri wine. This offered them the chance to sometimes bring in other characters to contribute to the story, and also gave Watson a chance to summarize or add additional tidbits at the end. Another interesting thing about this radio show’s introductions was Watson's anecdotes and comments about his dogs usually referred to as the "Puppies".

Sounds True – Insights from the Edge with Tami Simon
Radical Self-Care Changes Everything - Anne Lamott
Anne Lamott is the celebrated author of many books of fiction, essays, and memoirs. Her works include Bird by Bird, Hallelujah Anyway, and Crooked Little Heart. In this special edition of Insights at the Edge originally recorded for The Self-Acceptance Summit, Tami Simon speaks with Anne about acts of “radical self-care” and how they are essential for anyone’s well-being. Anne talks about self-acceptance as an innately feminist concept, especially around issues of body image and self-esteem. Finally, Anne and Tami discuss how it is necessary to fully accept oneself before being able to show up for others, and why modern society often argues the opposite.
Anne Lamott is the author of seven novels including, Hard Laughter, Rosie, Joe Jones, Blue Shoe, All New People, and Crooked Little Heart (the sequel to Rosie), as well as five bestselling books of non-fiction, Operating Instructions, an account of life as a single mother during her son's first year and Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life, a guide to writing and the challenges of a writer's life, Traveling Mercies, a collection of autobiographical essays on faith, and Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith.
Anne Lamott has been honored with a Guggenheim Fellowship, and has taught at UC Davis, as well as at writing conferences across the country. Anne's biweekly Salon Magazine "online diary," Word by Word, was voted The Best of the Web by TIME magazine. Filmmaker Freida Mock (who won an Academy Award for her documentary on Maya Lin) has made a documentary on Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird with Annie (1999).
Anne's last collection of essays is Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith. In the Fall of 2010 Anne Lamott was inducted into the California Hall of Fame. She is also working on an essay collection entitled As in Life: New and Selected Pieces, about moving through grief and loss.

The Final Straw Radio
Abolitionists and anti-authoritarians from North Carolina
On this episode, Ian spoke with Adam Shapiro, Co-editor of We Are Many, a comics anthology released as part of the Cypher Zine project (@cypher_comics on Instagram) and published by Radix Media. The book pairs artists and activists to create narratives around the defense of women and sex workers around the globe. Among other topics, the conversation touches on the process of matching local artists with the activists on the ground, notions of human rights defense (as defined by UN guidelines) as it relates to autonomous, self-directed struggle. They also speak about the strengths and limitations of NGO-led initiatives, and the effects of emergent disasters on long-term organizing initiatives.

The Art of Psychoanalysis, part 1
Beginning a three-part Watts lecture on the theme of the art of psychoanalysis. Watts reads in an ironic tone, an article on the subject by Dr. Jay Haley in the publication Et Cetera, supposedly based on research conducted in the US by a visiting student from the UK, based on participation in Freudian psychoanalysis as a patient and a practitioner. Watts leaves us with the question, Is Dr. Haley spoofing psychoanalysis in his article, or promoting and endorsing it, a question Watts will address in subsequent lectures.

Sounds True-Insights from the Edge with Tami Simon
Gabor Maté: Healing Principles to Embody in a Traumatized World
Why do we suppress our authenticity? How do we reconcile the need to accept things as they are with a desire to change them? What is the pathway to healing in a world that’s breaking our hearts? In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with renowned physician and author Dr. Gabor Maté about these profound questions, and how the approach he calls Compassionate Inquiry can help us find the answers within ourselves.
Listen in to this informative, inspiring, and at times “fiery” conversation exploring how to bridge the gap between understanding and embodiment; the “full heart beneath a broken heart”; paying attention to tension; growth, not perfection; the neuroscience of emotions; the connections between sensitivity and addiction; activism and advocacy as an element of healing; the dance of acceptance and agency; psychoneuroimmunology; the search for truth and where it emanates from; and more.
Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests. Learn more at join.soundstrue.com.
Dr. Gabor Maté is an author, speaker, and physician who specializes in addiction, stress, and childhood development. His many books include In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts and When the Body Says No. His signature psychotherapeutic approach, Compassionate Inquiry, reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world.

THE GUIDING STORIES FOR NECESSARY MIRACLES!
Caroline Welcomes Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb
CWC: “The Guiding Stories for Necessary Miracles!” Rabbi Lynn “Okay. This will be a conversation about revolutionary nonviolence.”
Lynn Gottlieb, one of the first women to become a rabbi in Jewish history, is a pioneer Jewish feminist, activist, writer, visual artist, ceremonialist, community organizer, master storyteller and performing artist. She is co-founder of Shomeret Shalom Global Congregation and teacher of the path of the Torah of Nonviolence. Currently, Lynn is director of Youth and Family Programs at Chochmat HaLev Congregation in Berkeley, CA. (The name translate roughly as “Wisdom of the Heart”)
Rabbi Gottlieb is the author of She Who Dwells Within, “a practical guide to nonsexist Judaism,” published on March 3, 1995. Drawing on Gottlieb’s own experiences as well as on traditional and feminist midrash (stories that comment on Biblical texts), the book combines thoughtful essays on gender and Judaism with new rituals for the important moments in Jewish women’s lives. The title is taken from a translation of the word Shekhinah, traditionally understood as the feminine manifestation or aspect of God.

The Final Straw radio
This week, we dig into the pre-trial hearings and jury selection for Ayla King, Stop Cop City movement's first and only co-defendant so far to be granted a speedy trial. We're joined by Silver, an on-the-ground correspondent among many in Atlanta focused on supporting the collective defense against the State of Georgia's RICO indictment. Stay tuned for future coverage of the trials as they unfold.
We will be focusing on the pretrial proceedings of defendant Ayla King, who has bravely flexed their right to a speedy trial and whose case we will be following more in-depth when opening arguments begin on January 10th. To help us unpack some of the media and legal intricacies in this case we will hear from Jewel, a North Carolina based lawyer (member of NLG Mass Defense) followed by an interview with Matt from Atlanta Community Press Collective. Jewel will help us understand some of the strategy of exercising a right to speedy trial while Matt will speak as one of the only members of local media to actively cover jury selection.
First, some background to this case for listeners less familiar:
- On August 29th the State of Georgia filed an indictment against 61 people in the movement to Stop Cop City and defend Weelaunee people's park. The state alleges that music festival attendees and protestors engaged in racketeering, domestic terrorism, arson and money laundering-- all as part of a so called mob conspiracy to halt construction of the massively unpopular expansion of police traning grounds in Southeast Atlanta-- also known as Cop City.
- This indictment follows a years-long, powerful and popular struggle against the city of Atlanta and their Police Foundation's attempts to build the 90 million dollar training grounds. The expansion of this site not only follows the widespread anti-police movements of 2020 but further bolsters US backed military training such the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (aka GILEE) - a direct exhange program between Atlanta police and the Israeli Occupational Forces, who are currently waging genocide in the occupied Gaza strip of Palestine.
- We have experienced the unrelenting and escalating criminal charges (such as domestic terrorism charges for so called trespassing on public land, racketeering charges for mutual aid), raids of collective organizing and healing spaces, and even the assassination of a beloved comrade, Tortuguita. Not only have these atrocities failed to stop the movement against Cop City, but they have inspired renewed resistance and solidarity from across the country and across the world.

Whole Mother with Pat Jones from sister station KPFT in Houston
Debbie Hull, CLD, CCCE, CAPPA
Debbie Hull began learning about birth in 1996 after the birth of her first baby and has been serving Houston area families since 1999. She is certified with CAPPA as a new parent educator, labor doula, and childbirth educator, is honored to be on CAPPA faculty for both labor doula and childbirth educator, and is the Senior Program advisor for CAPPA’s labor doula training program. Debbie believes that it is the most precious and sacred of honors to be invited to care for a family during their childbearing season and is very proud to have the opportunity to speak into the work of the next generation of birth professionals.
Her work has taken her places she never expected to go, including portraying Jillian in all the Houston productions of Karen Brody’s play, Birth, but only with the fingerprints of her beloved midwife/friend all over her back. They say the birth sounds she made there, on a stage in front of hundreds of people, sounded real. She profoundly hopes so. Debbie designed and developed the curriculum for an innovative, interactive childbirth class and began offering classes that even dads report enjoying! She believes that we learn best when we are laughing, so her childbirth classes and professional training courses are designed to be enjoyable and memorable.
Debbie is most proud to be the mother of two amazing formerly breastfed and home-schooled young adults, the youngest of whom has been on a nursing strike for over 20 years. When she is not working on her feelings about that, Debbie enjoys movies, reading, and game nights, even when she loses.

Whole Mother with Pat Jones from sister station KPFT in Houston
Debbie Hull, CLD, CCCE, CAPPA
Debbie Hull began learning about birth in 1996 after the birth of her first baby and has been serving Houston area families since 1999. She is certified with CAPPA as a new parent educator, labor doula, and childbirth educator, is honored to be on CAPPA faculty for both labor doula and childbirth educator, and is the Senior Program advisor for CAPPA’s labor doula training program. Debbie believes that it is the most precious and sacred of honors to be invited to care for a family during their childbearing season and is very proud to have the opportunity to speak into the work of the next generation of birth professionals.
Her work has taken her places she never expected to go, including portraying Jillian in all the Houston productions of Karen Brody’s play, Birth, but only with the fingerprints of her beloved midwife/friend all over her back. They say the birth sounds she made there, on a stage in front of hundreds of people, sounded real. She profoundly hopes so. Debbie designed and developed the curriculum for an innovative, interactive childbirth class and began offering classes that even dads report enjoying! She believes that we learn best when we are laughing, so her childbirth classes and professional training courses are designed to be enjoyable and memorable.
Debbie is most proud to be the mother of two amazing formerly breastfed and home-schooled young adults, the youngest of whom has been on a nursing strike for over 20 years. When she is not working on her feelings about that, Debbie enjoys movies, reading, and game nights, even when she loses.

Interview with Ilarion (Larry) Merculieff
Filmmaker Robert Lundahl has Ilarion Merculieff tell stories from his Pribilof Island homeland of St. Paul and St. George Islands in the middle of the Bering Sea, 250 miles north of the Aleutians. He expresses concerns about Arctic ecosystems generally, and in specific as related to multiple species of birds, marine mammals, and fish, including the Yukon River and its salmon.
He discusses TKW, Traditonal Knowledge and Wisdom, and the role it plays in resource management, and the structural thought process behind it as a science. Update on the Northern Bering Sea Climate Resilience Area.
The erosion of shorelines & the thawing of permafrost in many Alaska Native villages, is making them increasingly vulnerable to flooding & landslides. Several villages have had to relocate to higher ground. The exact number of villages that have had to move is not clear, it is estimated that at least 31 villages in Alaska are currently facing the threat of flooding & erosion & many more are at risk in the future.
• What is the public health cost for climate change related trauma & rising subsistence expenses for Alaska natives?
The impacts are significant, such as flooding & erosion that can disrupt traditional ways of life & lead to emotional & mental stress, including depression & anxiety. Subsistence hunting & fishing are also affected by changes in weather patterns & the loss of sea ice, leading to food insecurity & malnutrition. These factors can contribute to a range of physical & mental health problems, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, & suicide.
• What costs for public health can be avoided by early & sufficient federal investments in health, infrastructure energy & food production in Alaska native villages?
Early & sufficient federal investments in health, infrastructure, energy, & food production in Alaska Native villages could help to mitigate many of the public health costs associated with climate change. For example, investments in infrastructure such as sea walls, shoreline protection, & water and sewer systems can help to protect villages from flooding and erosion. Investments in renewable energy sources can help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels & improve air quality, which can have positive health impacts. Investing in local food production through programs such as community gardens & greenhouses can help to improve food security & reduce dependence on expensive, imported foods. Additionally, investing in mental health & counseling services can help to support individuals & families affected by climate change-related trauma.
This help can protect & improve the health & well-being of Alaska Native communities, & reduce the long-term public health costs.
• How can Educational Programs help native communities change federal policies benefiting tribes & supporting climate equity?
Here are a few important roles in helping Native communities change federal policies that benefit tribes & support climate equity:
1. Community Engagement & Education:
Raise awareness & educate community members about the impacts & climate equity.
2. Leadership development:
Training & leadership development opportunities for community members, helping to build capacity within the community to advocate for policy changes at the local, state & federal level.
3. Research and Data:
Research that documents the impacts of climate change on Native communities, & provides data to support policy changes that benefit tribes & support climate equity.
4. Networking & Coalition Building:
Connect native communities with other organizations, researchers, & advocacy groups working on climate equity and environmental justice, help build a stronger more cohesive movement for change.
5.Law & Policy Education:
Training on laws related to climate change & environmental justice, empowering knowledge.

Note: When Merculieff says, “At that time, our people were slaves of the federal government,” he is referring to the fact that when the US under Lincoln purchased Alaska from the Tsarist Russian Empire, the Indigenous population were being oppressed as serfs by that Empire, and the US regime that took over did not abolish that condition of serfdom for decades until the New Deal-World War II era under FDR. The names of many of the people and locations, and the presence of the Russian Orthodox Church, are manifestations of the earlier Russian empire.

The Surprising Power of Nostalgia
https://resources.soundstrue.com/podcast/clay-routledge-the-surprising-powers-of-nostalgia/
Can relishing the past help us create a better future? If we want to move ahead, how does going back support us? Could it be that thinking about the past is inseparable from thinking about the future? These are the questions Dr. Clay Routledge explores in his new book, Past Forward.
In this fascinating and very cool podcast, Tami Simon and Clay consider how a walk down memory lane can lead you to a brighter tomorrow, discussing: agency, action, and the power of a “meaning mindset”; building a culture of agency; existential psychology; the subjective experience of time and the concept of “temporal consciousness”; why it’s important to savor the moment; the characteristics of nostalgia; working with difficult or bittersweet memories; how creativity is facilitated by a sense of security; journaling, playlists, scrapbooks, cooking, and other practical approaches to cultivate nostalgia and its benefits; the “reminiscence bump” and how nostalgia helps us feel younger; becoming our true selves; nostalgia around objects and personal possessions; and more.
Clay Routledge, PhD, is a leading expert in existential psychology. His work has been featured by the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, the Atlantic, The New Yorker, Wired, Forbes, and more. He is the vice president of research and director of the Human Flourishing Lab at the Archbridge Institute, and coeditor of Profectus. For more, visit clayroutledge.com.

DIVING INTO THE DARK UNDERWORLD, ANIMATING COMMUNITY
Caroline welcomes spicy, deep-delving Shambhavi Sarasvati
Diving into the Dark Underworld where our souls can speak more deeply to us.
Tyranny seeks to destroy Community, then creates the toxic mimic,
which be a cult…. that must have conflict and cruelty on which to feed….
So we animate Community arising from the Earth, across all borders….
Community be dedicated to collective well-being- democracy- equal rights; a cult be a prison…..
wonder and responsive augury conversing. This ongoing crisis of cruel carnage – reminds us to practice everything we hold dear, & invite in power to resolve.

The Grayzone Radio with Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON OCTOBER 7
Part 1:
Max Blumenthal on The Chris Hedges Report:
For all the sensationalism surrounding the events of Oct. 7, when Hamas broke through the Gaza fence and seized territory in the Gaza Envelope as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, there is still much that we do not know. The official Israeli death toll from the attack is estimated at 1,200 civilians, revised from an initial estimate of 1,400. Among this figure are several hundred civilians, which Israel says were killed by Hamas militants. Other testimony from survivors of Oct. 7 suggests an alternative explanation"that in its fervor to defeat Hamas, Israeli commanders may have willingly targeted and sacrificed Israeli soldiers and civilians in the crossfire. Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone joins The Chris Hedges Report for an in-depth look.
Part 2:
Max Blumenthal on “Going Underground”:
On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to the editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, Max Blumenthal, who joins us for a special interview. He describes a trail of lies and deceit by the Israeli government and the Biden administration on what really happened in the Hamas Al-Aqsa Flood raid on October 7. He claims the evidence points to Israel killing its own civilians while attempting to stop Hamas from taking hostages, and accuses Israel of atrocity propaganda that has been regurgitated by Bidens State Department to justify Israels genocidal destruction of Gaza, using Israels manipulation of evidence which has been shown across TV screens in NATO nations. He also points to racist double standards in the US, UK and European media in their coverage of Israels war on Gaza.
Grayzone Radio is a production of The Grayzone, an independent news website dedicated to original investigative journalism and analysis on politics and empire. Washington DC-based independent journalist and author, Max Blumenthal, founded The Grayzone and is your host on Grayzone Radio.

Lyrics for the Shondas "I Watched the Temple Fall":
[Verse 1]
This year a fast of witness
I long and crave but with this
Long to know what longing's for
(I know this is a time thick with dying)
Remembering temples falling
I watched the wall ascending
(The names and places are erased, replaced)
I watched cities consume cities
(Killing history)
(And yet today my people are mourning)
With each village they're erasing
I'll witness them replacing it
With new walls in new tongues
(An endless, timeless span of tragedy)
We can't see the chance that's there
To build temples everywhere
Not in space but in time
(I know this is a time thick with dying)
[Hook]
We live like we’re always afflicted (I watched the temple fall)
But I’m not, I’m sick (I watched the temple fall)
From the blood all over our hands (The borders of my heart)
How the land soaks it in (Release and come apart)
So the desert can finally bloom with this colonial hate
No heart, no heart could really beat love for this state
(The state is not my temple)
The People’s Bubbie: An Anti-Zionist Love Story"
We will also run a beautiful segment that our sibling producers of WBAI's Beyond the Pale program, home of the Jewish Left, aired last Friday. It's an interview by hosts Shoshana Brown and Rafael Shimunov with filmmakers Julia Sharpe-Levine (@ailoojailooj) and Fivel Rothberg (@fivelrothberg) to talk about the legacy of Shatzi Weisberger and their new film in development, "The People’s Bubbie: An Anti-Zionist Love Story" (@thepeoplesbubbiefilm).
As “The People’s Bubbie,” 92-year-old Shatzi Weisberger became an unexpected symbol of resistance. This outspoken Jewish, lesbian, anti-Zionist, lifelong New Yorker embraced her flaws and faced her fears. With her captivating spirit, she forged powerful bonds with young queer activists to unlock a profound love that transformed her final weeks into an extraordinary journey of joy and loss.
Julia is a Brooklyn based artist, editor, and educator working at the intersection of multidisciplinary arts and social justice movement building.
Fivel is a location sound mixer and filmmaker who has lived in NYC for 17 years but still says "wooder" like a good Philadelphian.
(Beyond the Pale airs weekly on WBAI on Fridays at 9 AM EST, and is archived at BeyondThePale.fm).

He also points to racist double standards in the US, UK and European media in their coverage of Israels war on Gaza.

Lyrics for the Shondas "I Watched the Temple Fall":
[Verse 1]
This year a fast of witness
I long and crave but with this
Long to know what longing's for
(I know this is a time thick with dying)
Remembering temples falling
I watched the wall ascending
(The names and places are erased, replaced)
I watched cities consume cities
(Killing history)
(And yet today my people are mourning)
With each village they're erasing
I'll witness them replacing it
With new walls in new tongues
(An endless, timeless span of tragedy)
We can't see the chance that's there
To build temples everywhere
Not in space but in time
(I know this is a time thick with dying)
[Hook]
We live like we’re always afflicted (I watched the temple fall)
But I’m not, I’m sick (I watched the temple fall)
From the blood all over our hands (The borders of my heart)
How the land soaks it in (Release and come apart)
So the desert can finally bloom with this colonial hate
No heart, no heart could really beat love for this state
(The state is not my temple)
The People’s Bubbie: An Anti-Zionist Love Story"
We will also run a beautiful segment that our sibling producers of WBAI's Beyond the Pale program, home of the Jewish Left, aired last Friday. It's an interview by hosts Shoshana Brown and Rafael Shimunov with filmmakers Julia Sharpe-Levine (@ailoojailooj) and Fivel Rothberg (@fivelrothberg) to talk about the legacy of Shatzi Weisberger and their new film in development, "The People’s Bubbie: An Anti-Zionist Love Story" (@thepeoplesbubbiefilm).
As “The People’s Bubbie,” 92-year-old Shatzi Weisberger became an unexpected symbol of resistance. This outspoken Jewish, lesbian, anti-Zionist, lifelong New Yorker embraced her flaws and faced her fears. With her captivating spirit, she forged powerful bonds with young queer activists to unlock a profound love that transformed her final weeks into an extraordinary journey of joy and loss.
Julia is a Brooklyn based artist, editor, and educator working at the intersection of multidisciplinary arts and social justice movement building.
Fivel is a location sound mixer and filmmaker who has lived in NYC for 17 years but still says "wooder" like a good Philadelphian.
(Beyond the Pale airs weekly on WBAI on Fridays at 9 AM EST, and is archived at BeyondThePale.fm).

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) AKA food stamps
Did you know that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) serves more than 40 million Americans, or about 1 in 8 people living in poverty in the U.S.? However, large corporations also benefit from the program. Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Jennifer Wilkins, Ph.D., RD, a leader in sustainable, community-based food systems. Wilkins discusses SNAP funding, spending, and how the program could be improved to better match U.S. Dietary Guidelines and support both public and planetary health.

Eden MacAdam-Somer and Aaron Hartley
Composer/performer/improviser Eden MacAdam-Somer (b. 1979) is one of today’s most exciting and versatile artists. Hailed by the New York Times as reflecting “astonishing virtuosity and raw expression” her music challenges the boundaries of composition and improvisation and transcends genre, weaving in and out of the many cultures that have formed her experience. Eden has written numerous works for solo artist on voice, violin, and body percussion, such as ‘Rumi Songs’, a partially composed, partially improvised song cycle. Her works are performed internationally, and she has received commissions by such groups as the New Gallery Concert Series, Cuatro Puntos Resident Artists, the Providence Mandolin Orchestra, and the AURA Ensemble. Her 2015 live solo album, My First Love Story, was listed as one of the top ten jazz albums of the year in the Boston Globe.
While growing up in Houston, Texas, Eden studied classical music formally, spending her free time at the local folk music sessions and working as an arranger and studio musician. She attended Houston’s High School for Performing and Visual Arts, winning the Music Teacher’s National Association State Division and the Lennox Young Artists Competitions. In 1993, she was introduced to contra-dancing in Amherst, MA, on a night out at Musicorda Chamber Music festival. When she got back to Houston, Eden tracked down the local dance community and began playing for dances. Thanks to the support of the Houston Area Traditional dancers, she was soon brought to the local Irish session, where she connected with members of an international music party band, the Gypsies, who took her under their wing. While earning her undergraduate and graduate degrees in classical violin performance, she was spending nights playing music of all kinds: Balkan, Eastern European, Klezmer, Jazz, Bluegrass, DAWG, and more. Meanwhile, she earned her BM and MM in classical performance from the Moores School of Music at the University of Houston, as a student of Fredell Lack, and the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University, as a student of Kenneth Goldsmith.
Eden is a full-time faculty member at New England Conservatory, where she teaches courses, ensembles, and studio lessons, in addition to serving as Co-Chair of the Department of Contemporary Improvisation. A dynamic and passionate teacher, Eden works with each student to attain the skills they need to become creative and successful artists, strengthening unique personal style with a good foundation in aural skills and technical facility. Outside of the classroom, Eden maintains an active, eclectic international performance and recording career as a soloist and with such bands as Notorious Folk and the Klezmer Conservatory Band. She lives in Boston with her husband, (trombonist, artist manager, and videographer Aaron Hartley) and two children.
Videographer/artist manager Aaron Hartley grew up photographing weddings as a second shooter with his father at Lakeside Photography in Tampa, FL. While attending New England Conservatory of Music for Jazz Performance, Aaron co-created Boston’s legendary Film Noir Series that was featured in Jordan Hall for 15 years, which jump-started his career in videography. Now, Aaron is a full-time videographer and film editor, capturing weddings, concerts, and other events. In his free time, he loves learning new juggling tricks (both clubs and balls), taking care of his flock of chickens, practicing trombone, taking footage of his kids playing, sailing with his brother, Greg, or woodworking.
Aaron and Eden live in Boston with their three children, Gideon (6), Ida Lu (4), and Ori Tov (10 months). As a family, they enjoy baking, hiking, gardening, reading, playing music, dancing, tending their chickens, and exploring the world around them.

Sounds True- Insights from the Edge with Tami Simon
https://content.blubrry.com/sounds_true/PD07117W_gina-Breedlove.mp3
Grief doula gina Breedlove, actress and recording artist, speaks about healing rituals for liberation. We all carry grief in one form or another. Whether it’s unhealed wounds from our past or a heart that’s breaking over the suffering in our world, so many of us are desperately seeking solace and hope. In their new book, Vibration of Grace, vocalist and traditional sound healer, gina Breedlove, brings us a toolbox of rituals and practices to invoke the power of sound as a vehicle of love and liberation—for ourselves, our loved ones, and everyone around us.
In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with gina about their life and work, sharing insights on: using your voice as a healing technology; how humming soothes a dysregulated nervous system; the communal practice of grief-letting; the “pulling” ritual to release negative energy; processing our “all of a sudden” times; offering love to our bodies; gina’s unique technique for letting go of anger; how intention and inner boundaries help us navigate health challenges; why any practice must be rigorous to be effective; finding sovereignty within our body and discerning what belongs to us; soul retrieval; shifting our narratives around “burden”; and more.
Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests. Learn more at join.soundstrue.com.

Next, he landed at the famous, and stressfully infamous, William Morris Agency mailroom. In the depths of the 2008 fall of the economy he and his wife Thi Tran created Starry Kitchen, the illegal and underground apartment restaurant out of sheer necessity to survive, which became wildly successful, and he is the author of a cookbook memoir: Adventures in Starry Kitchen: 88 Asian-Inspired Recipes from Americas Most Famous Underground Restaurant.

Lux Radio Theater -100th episode
The Plutocrat featuring Wallace Beery, hosted and produced by Cecil B. DeMille
Lux Radio Theatre, sometimes spelled Lux Radio Theater, a long-run classic radio anthology series, was broadcast on the NBC Blue Network (1934-35); CBS Radio (1935-54), and NBC Radio (1954-55). Initially, the series adapted Broadway plays during its first two seasons before it began adapting films. These hour-long radio programs were performed live before studio audiences. The series became the most popular dramatic anthology series on radio, broadcast for more than 20 years and continued on television as the Lux Video Theatre through most of the 1950s.

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet
Radio Phonograph
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet started on radio but became a long-running television series, airing on ABC from October 3, 1952 to September 3, 1966, starring the real life Nelson family. The series starred Ozzie Nelson and his wife, singer Harriet Nelson, and their young sons, David Nelson and Eric Nelson, better known as Ricky. The series attracted large audiences; although it was never a top-ten hit, it became synonymous with the 1950s ideal US family life. It is the longest-running "live-action" non-animated sitcom in US TV history.
When Red Skelton was drafted in March of 1944, Ozzie Nelson was prompted to create his own family situation comedy. The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet launched on CBS on October 8, 1944, making a mid-season switch to NBC in 1949. The final years of the radio series were on ABC (the former NBC Blue Network) from October 14, 1949 to June 18, 1954. In total 402 radio episodes were produced. In an arrangement that amplified the growing pains of American broadcasting, as radio "grew up" into television, the Nelsons' deal with ABC gave the network the option to move their program to television. The struggling network needed proven talent that was not about to defect to the more established and wealthier networks like CBS or NBC.
The Nelsons' sons, David and Ricky, did not join the cast until the radio show's fifth year. The two boys were played by professional actors prior to their joining because both were too young to perform. The role of David was played by Joel Davis from 1944 until 1945. Tommy Bernard and Henry Blair appeared as Ricky. Other cast members included John Brown as Syd "Thorny" Thornberry, Lurene Tuttle as Harriet's mother, Bea Benaderet as Gloria, Janet Waldo as Emmy Lou, and Dick Trout as Roger. Vocalists included Harriet Nelson, The King Sisters, and Ozzie Nelson. The announcers were Jack Bailey and Verne Smith. The music was by Billy May and Ozzie Nelson. The producers were Dave Elton and Ozzie Nelson.

Lithium in America
“America” in this case meaning the USA and specifically California and the desert southeast of Los Angeles. Plans are underway to mine the bounty of thermal deposits of lithium, whose price is climbing with its use in Electric vehicle batteries. Will this become another “national sacrifice zone” on Indigenous lands, affecting their sacred sites and everyone’s health and safety?
