The Goods from the Woods - Episode #226 – “The Territories” with John Hastings
In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys and guest host Sam Harter are joined by comedian John Hastings! John is genuinely one of the funniest people on the fucking planet and he's also EXTREMELY well-informed on the subject of the history of professional wrestling. This episode is all about the days before WWE, before WWF, before Vince McMahon even; we're talkin' about THE TERRITORIES. From Los Angeles to New York City and from Canada to Puerto Rico, the National Wrestling Alliance (N.W.A.) was divided into many, many regional territories all across the U.S. Each one had its own set of colorful characters and were talking about all of them! This episode is absolutely incredible as Dr. Pat and John Hastings join forces to give us a complete and uniquely-hilarious time in sports entertainment when THE. SHIT. WAS. REAL! So, grab a steel folding chair and watch for a squirt gun full of Drain-O, it's time to talk territories! Find John on all forms of social media @TheJohnHastings and, for god's sake, GO SEE THIS MAN LIVE!
Song of the week this week is "Imagine What I Could Do to You" by Adrian Street.

Birds! Horned screamers! Winged pirates! Just in time for the Audubon's winter Christmas Bird Count (which goes until Jan. 5) here is an encore presentation of an early episode. Professional bird-person and all around cool dude James Maley joins Alie to talk about bird mating, monogamy, the cult of ornithology, absurd birds, parrots that are smarter than your friends' kids, a surprising fact about owl ears and history's most tragically zealous bird nerds. If you love birds, you'll be at home. If a bird did you dirty, you'll open your heart and learn to love again.

New Books in Native American Studies - Pamela E. Klassen, “The Story of Radio Mind: A Missionary’s Journey on Indigenous Land” (U Chicago Press, 2018)
At the dawn of the radio age in the 1920s, Frederick Du Vernet—Anglican archbishop and self-declared scientist—announced a psychic channel by which minds could telepathically communicate across distance. Pamela E. Klassen retalls Du Vernet’s imaginative experiment in her newest book, The Story of Radio Mind: A Missionary's Journey on Indigenous Land (University of Chicago Press, 2018). Following Du Vernet’s journey westward across Canada, Klassen examines how contests over the mediation of stories—via photography, maps, printing presses, and radio—reveal the spiritual work of colonial settlement.
Pamela Klassen is Professor in the Department for the Study of Religion at the University of Toronto.
Hillary Kaell co-hosts NBIR and is Associate Professor of Religion at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.
