FEATURED CONVERSATION
This week: Beautiful Writers Podcast By Linda Sivertsen - Valarie Kaur and Chris Jackson: A World-Changer and her Superhero Publisher
You're about to hear a level of intimacy and honesty not normally shared publicly by publishers and authors. These literary soulmates will be a soothing balm for any writer feeling alone and unseen—wondering if and when the rest of their superhero team will ever hear the call. For nearly two decades, Valarie had been writing this book before meeting Chris and had a truckload of journals to prove it. This episode is all about love: Love of ideas. Love for our histories and education—even when interrupted. Love for the systems that support us. And the ones that need to change. At the end, Linda features "See No Stranger," a song produced by Righteous Babe Records for the book and the Revolutionary Love movement, coming this fall, featuring Ani DiFranco, Justin Tranter, Ivan Neville, Milck, Raye Zaragoza, Zoe Boekbinder, Princess Shaw, and Gracie and Rachel. For more info, go to beautifulwriterspodcast.com
The conversation will air Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 12pm and 5pm CDT.
WOODY'S VOICE
Join the Woody Guthrie Center on Sunday at 12pm and again at 4pm CDT for "Woody's Voice" on Righteous Babe Radio. "Woody's Voice" will explore struggle and overcoming issues together, and you'll be hearing from Woody, artists who collaborated with his words, and some new music that continues Woody's message. The show is curated by the Center, with Ani hosting and sharing our message. We will rebroadcast Woody's Voice at 12 pm CDT on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN
Historians are fond of saying that the past doesn’t repeat itself; it rhymes. To understand the present, we have to understand how we got here. That’s where this newsletter comes in. Heather Cox Richardson is a professor of American history. She believes that you can’t get a grip on today’s politics without an outline of America’s Constitution, and laws, and the economy, and social customs, her newsletter explores what it means, and what it has meant, to be an American. These were the same questions a famous observer asked in a book of letters he published in 1782, the year before the Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur called his book “Letters from an American Farmer.” History doesn’t repeat itself, but it sure rhymes. We will broadcast a recording of Heather Cox Richardson reading the daily letters at 6pm, 11pm and 8am the following day CDT.
