As the prospect of a Russian move into Ukraine looks more and more imminent, how will American voters respond to that threat to the post-Cold War geopolitical order? Can the neo-isolationism preferred by elements on the right and left win a majority, or does the voting public have a firmer grasp on what the loss of American hegemony would mean than the intellectual class?

Headlines From The Times - An Indigenous language, back from the brink

Native American culture and history have long been ignored or romanticized as vestiges of a lost people — or both.

The Serrano people of Southern California have seen their Indigenous language nearly vanish. But tribe member Ernest Siva has been working to save it. Among his efforts: The octogenarian contributes to Cal State San Bernardino’s language program.

Then, 25-year-old Mark Araujo-Levinson found the classes through a Google search — and started making YouTube videos of himself learning the language.

Today, we hear their voices. And L.A. Times Metro reporter Nathan Solis takes us through their story and how their efforts have gained momentum.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Prime mover? Mario Draghi and the Italian presidency

This week’s secretive votes will determine the next president and the current prime minister looks to be a favourite. But that move would be bad for Italy. Many African countries that are rife with resources remain persistently underdeveloped; we dig into the reasons. And we meet the chefs bringing unsung Native American cuisine to the table.

Take This Pod and Shove It - 9: “Finally Friday” by George Jones

Johnny Cash once said, "When people ask me who my favorite country singer is, I say, 'You mean besides George Jones?'"

This week Danny and Tyler discuss the legendary George Jones, often considered to have the greatest voice in all of country music. And while there are over a dozen #1 country hits to choose from in Jones’ catalog, the song of the week is “Finally Friday,” the lesser-known closing track from Jones’ 1992 album, Walls Can Fall (released the same year Jones was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame).

“Finally Friday” is sung as if it’s a weekly celebration Jones has been partaking in for decades. And even though he didn’t write this track, Danny and Tyler tell stories of Jones’ antics, adventures, and struggles which suggest he very well could have.

George Jones has hundreds (thousands?) of songs, but here's a few recs to get you started if you're new to him, from Tyler and Danny:
He Stopped Loving Her Today
The Race is On
White Lightning
Tennessee Whiskey
Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes
I Just Don’t Give A Damn
I Don’t Need Your Rocking Chair
He Still Thinks I Care

Start the Week - Modernism

Modernism is a cultural and philosophical movement that emerged in the West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It’s a complex hydra-headed beast that was pervasive in the arts, but also spread through modern industrial societies influencing architecture and science.

As part of a series of programmes on BBC Radio 3 and 4 celebrating modernism, Kirsty Wark presents an introduction to modernism – how and why did it arise at this time, and its legacy today. She is joined by the cultural historian Matthew Sweet who is presenting a 10-part series for BBC Radio 4 on a crucial year for modernism: 1922 – The Birth of Now.

Suzanne Hobson, from Queen Mary University of London, is an expert on modernist literature, and examines the defining characteristics of the genre, while the musician Soweto Kinch discusses the impact of modernism on music, especially the development of jazz, and how it plays out today.

While innovations in the arts including stream of consciousness, atonal music and abstract art are the headline acts for modernism the academic Charlotte Sleigh looks more closely at what was happening in the sciences, and how innovations in physics, psychology and technology changed the way people experienced the world.
