The Gist - BEST OF THE GIST: Three Years After January 6th Edition

In this installment of Best Of The Gist, we listen back to the episode published the evening of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. It was a defining moment in our nation’s history, and we have a pretty clear understand of what went down that ugly day. On January 6, 2021, though, we didn’t have much detail, but Mike went on to try to put some context around what we were all seeing.

NBN Book of the Day - Elizabeth Eva Leach, “Medieval Sex Lives: The Sounds of Courtly Intimacy on the Francophone Borders” (Cornell UP, 2023)

How was music important to medieval society? In Medieval Sex Lives:The Sounds of Courtly Intimacy on the Francophone Borders (Cornell UP, 2023), Prof Elizabeth Eva Leach, a Professor of Music at the University of Oxford explores the history and content of the Douce 308 manuscript to tell the story of the cultural and sexual scripts that framed courtly life in the Medieval era. The book tells the long history of the idea of courtly love, as well as using contemporary theories and cultural practices to re-examine the songs and lyrics in the manuscript. A fascinating and absorbing read, the book will be of interest to humanities scholars and more widely to anyone interested in the history of music, sex, and sexuality. You can also find out more about the book here on Prof Leach’s blog.

Dave O'Brien is Professor of Cultural and Creative Industries, at the University of Manchester.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Questions and Answers: Volume 14

The month of January was named after the Roman god Janus who had two faces, one on each side of his head. 

Janus was the god of waging war and making peace. Of beginnings and endings, and of change and passages.

…and while there is no evidence to prove it, I’m pretty sure that Janus would have been the god of questions and answers.

Stay tuned while I answer listener questions on the 14 questions and answers installment of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Deja Coup: Donald Trump and the Slow Civil War

On January 6, 2021, supporters of Donald J Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol building hoping to stop Joe Biden from becoming president. Three years later, a quarter of Americans believe the FBI instigated the events of that day.  

This week on Amicus, we’re trying to understand the myth-making that helped foment the riot, and the religious fervor that binds and buoys Trump’s supporters today. Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Jeff Sharlet, author of “The Undertow: Scenes From a Slow Civil War” to explore the stories and symbols that are shaping Trump’s march toward fascism, and to figure out what place the rule of law has in this struggle. 

In this week’s Amicus Plus segment, Slate’s dynamic legal duo of Mark Joseph Stern and Jeremy Stahl break down the latest in Trump’s cascading court cases, and the Texas abortion case that’s on a fast track to the Supreme Court.
