Politics, history & religion from a leftist, Christian perspective. No war but class war. Socialism=good. Capitalism=bad.

*****In the conversation we cover sensitive topics such as child sexual abuse.****
Dr. Audrey Clare Farley rejoins the pod to discuss her new book Girls and Their Monsters: The Genain Quadruplets and the Making of Madness in America. (https://www.grandcentralpublishing.com/titles/audrey-clare-farley/girls-and-their-monsters/9781538724477/)
In the early 20th Century a set of quadruplet girls became instant celebrities. Like many childhood stars the story becomes complex and dark under the surface. Audrey and I discuss the shadow sides of human nature as well as my own personal experience being a twin...though thankfully my story is vastly different than the quadruplets!

Stephen Kinzer - on the US's immoral proxy war in Ukraine
Stephen Kinzer returns to discuss the coverage and lack of debate on the war between Russia and Ukraine. Bringing his well-earned experience to bear Stephen calls attention to the realities of war and the need for a rational conversation about a peaceful end to the conflict. We also discuss the existential risk of nuclear war and the US's lack of moral standing to wage yet another proxy war.
We also cover common objections (sometimes waged in good faith!) to supporting a cease fire in Ukraine.
---------
Stephen Kinzer is an award-winning foreign correspondent who has covered more than 50 countries on five continents. His articles and books have led the Washington Post to place him “among the best in popular foreign policy storytelling.”
Kinzer spent more than 20 years working for the New York Times, most of it as a foreign correspondent. His foreign postings placed him at the center of historic events and, at times, in the line of fire.

Aaron Leonard - Music, Rebellion & Repression 1955-1972
Writer and historian Aaron Leonard comes back on the show to talk about his latest book Whole World in Uproar - Music, Rebellion and Repression 1955-1972 (https://repeaterbooks.com/product/whole-world-in-an-uproar-music-rebellion-and-repression-1955-1972/). In the interview we talk about state repression of The Beatles, FBI files on Dylan's girlfriend and why Phil Ochs and Jefferson Airplane deserve attention as radical artists of the 60's.
Along the way we talk about various illegal and immoral wars (past and present), drugs (why they should all be legal), sex (ok not too much sex in this one) and rock and roll (lots of material here!)
Check it out and order the book from Repeater Books! (https://repeaterbooks.com/product/whole-world-in-an-uproar-music-rebellion-and-repression-1955-1972/)
