   Ep.27: Pawsitive Vibes: The National Service Animals Monument (w/Susan Bahary)

   Donate to help build the National Service Animals Monument: https://nationalserviceanimalsmemorial.org/ In this special episode of the America 250 series, Dr. Yasmine S. Ali speaks with Susan Bahary, an award-winning, internationally acclaimed sculptor and chair of the National Service Animals Monument project. Susan takes us inside the Congressionally authorized effort to build the monument in the nation’s capital and explains the expansive story it will tell—from the horses, mules, dogs, and carrier pigeons of America’s wars to today’s law-enforcement, assistance, therapy, medical-detection, and security animals. They also explore Susan’s unconventional path to a career in sculpture, her lifelong bond with animals, and the creation of landmark works including Always Faithful, the first official war dog memorial in the United States, and The Pledge, depicting a female soldier and her military working dog. Susan also shares the memorable Tennessee story behind the casting of Always Faithful at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine—including an unexpected evening at the Grand Ole Opry. At its heart, this is a conversation about gratitude, creative purpose, the human-animal bond, and the power of public art to educate, inspire, heal, and bring people together. Susan Bahary is an award-winning and internationally acclaimed sculptor and Chair of the National Service Animals Monument project. She is one of the foremost artists specializing in honoring the animal-human bond. She has done more of this sort of monument work than perhaps anyone else in the world. She’s a leader in raising awareness for the contributions and sacrifices of service animals and their handlers.

   Ep. 26: America 250: Escorting the Declaration of Independence (Interview w/Brian Wilson)

   In honor of America's 250th birthday, I'm bringing back one of the most popular episodes of the Positive Vibes podcast. Archivist, actor, and author Brian Wilson shares remarkable stories from history—including the incredible tale of helping recover and escort Georgia's official copy of the Declaration of Independence. There's another fascinating historical connection that wasn't mentioned when this interview first aired: Brian is a direct descendant of Richard Stockton, the first delegate from New Jersey to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Stockton was a prominent attorney, a member of the Second Continental Congress, and one of the nation's 56 Founding Fathers. Brian rarely talks about this family connection, but it makes this conversation especially fitting as America celebrates its semiquincentennial. Beyond history, Brian also offers practical advice as an archivist on preserving family photographs and treasured documents for future generations. He also gives a behind-the-scenes look at life as a professional background actor, sharing stories from major productions including Avengers: Infinity War, Captain America: Brave New World, Jungle Cruise, MacGyver, and more—including a memorable experience working with Ryan Gosling. Whether you're interested in American history, genealogy, family preservation, filmmaking, or simply great storytelling, there's something here for you.
