In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are daring to hassle "The 'Hoff". Dr. Pat leads this rousing episode all about the storied music career of the biggest hunk on the beach: David Hasselhoff. From his meteoric rise to the top of the German pop charts to the fortuitous fizzling of his career in the good ol' U.S.A. we sample Hasselhoff's 1994 greatest hits album, Looking for... the Best of David Hasselhoff. We also talk about WHY he's huge in Germany, his SUPER WEIRD autobiography, and the reason O.J. Simpson might just be the one responsible for killing his music career. This episode is one of our favorites and we sincerely hope you love it as much as we do! Song of the week this week: "You Get Me Hot" by Jimmy Bo Horne.

Ologies with Alie Ward - Entomology (INSECTS) with Lila Higgins
Buuuugs. We cover perhaps Alie's favorite ology ever with an ologist who changed her life. Meet Lila Higgins: the self-professed "bug geek" with passion more infectious than a glassy winged sharpshooter mouth. (That will make sense later.) We talk about clowns in the forest, badgers, Hare Krishnas, solitary bugs vs. social ones, why wasps are such dicks and why it's totally fine to kiss a cockroach and eat a cricket.

New Books in Native American Studies - Jacqueline Emery, “Recovering Native American Writings in the Boarding School Press” (U. Nebraska Press, 2017)
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Native American students from across the United States attended federally-managed boarding schools where they were taught English, math, and a variety of vocational skills, all for the purpose of forcing their assimilation into white, American society. While enrolled at these schools, students also showcased their writing, editing, and printing skills by publishing school newspapers. In Recovering Native American Writings in the Boarding School Press (University of Nebraska Press, 2017), Assistant Professor of English Jacqueline Emery provides the first comprehensive collection of Native American writings published in boarding school newspapers, and demonstrates the ways in which students used these periodicals to both challenge and reflect assimilationist practices at the schools. The collection includes student-authored letters, editorials, fiction, and folklore, and examines the writings of Gertrude Bonin, Charles Eastman, and Luther Standing Bear, among additional, lesser-known writers.
Samantha M. Williams is a PhD candidate in History at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She is currently writing her dissertation, which examines the history of the Stewart Indian School in Carson City, Nevada through the lenses of settler colonialism and public history.
