Take This Pod and Shove It - 12: “Sin City” by The Flying Burrito Brothers, w/ Sam Tallent

This week Danny and Tyler chat about country-rock pioneers, The Flying Burrito Brothers with standup, author, and drummer, Sam Tallent! (@SamTallent, Running the Light, Chubby Behemoth Podcast)

Sam talks to the boys about the lyrical versatility of “Sin City”, FBB’s traceable influence on artists like The Eagles, Orville Peck, and The Flaming Lips, and why he should have played football for Harvard. “Sin City,” a semi-apocalyptic semi-waltz that happens to be the Flying Burrito Brothers’ signature song, is from the group’s 1969 debut album (an album which somehow has still not sold enough to be certified gold, despite its influence).

Call it “Cosmic American Music” or call it “Country with a better backbeat,” but thanks to Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman’s infusion of psychedelic rock and blues (with some help from Sneaky Pete!), we have some of the most enduring country songs ever recorded.

Even though the Flying Burrito Brothers only have one highly acclaimed album...we gotta lotta recs for ya (including from Sam's dad!):

Hot Burrito #1
Images of Me
Do Right Woman
Dark End of the Street
Wild Horses
Juanita
Six Days on the Road
Dim Lights
Together Again
Do You Know How It Feels
Wheels
My Uncle
God’s Favorite Singer
If You Gotta Go
Hot Burrito #2

Start the Week - Wealth, influence and the global elite

The Sassoons were one of the great commercial dynasties of the 19th century: ‘the Rothschilds of the East’. In Global Merchants the historian Joseph Sassoon charts how his ancestors – Jewish refugee exiles from Ottoman Baghdad – built a vast enterprise of trade and influence across the world. He tells Tom Sutcliffe how their meteoric rise and ultimate fall mirrored the British imperial project.

At the height of their ambition the Sassoons led an extravagant lifestyle, but never quite overcame their origins to be accepted in upper class society in the West. Money, power, class and caste are at the centre of Pankaj Mishra’s new novel, Run and Hide. The heroes of his story are lower class Indians determined to succeed – at a time when success is counted in private jets and lavish parties, and failure leads to a global financial scandal.

The Head of Economics at the Open University, Professor Susan Newman, provided expert advice for the recent BBC 2 series, The Decade the Rich Won: Stories of power and influence, in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. In her studies she’s interested in the question of how wealth is accumulated today, the impact of globalisation on national decision-making, and growing inequality.

NBN Book of the Day - Charles R. Shipan and Craig Volden, “Why Bad Policies Spread (and Good Ones Don’t)” (Cambridge UP, 2021)

Building on a deep theoretical foundation and drawing on numerous examples, Volden and Shipan examine how policies spread across the American states in Why Bad Policies Spread (and Good Ones Don't) (Cambridge University Press, 2021). The authors argue that for good policies to spread while bad policies are pushed aside, states must learn from one another. The three ingredients for this positive outcome are observable experiments, time to learn, and favorable incentives and expertise among policymakers. Although these ingredients are sometimes plentiful, the authors also note causes for concern, such as when policies are complex or incompatible with current practices, when policymakers give in to underlying political biases, or when political institutions lack the capacity for cultivating expertise. Under such conditions, states may rely on competition, imitation, and coercion, rather than learning, which can allow bad policies, rather than good ones, to spread. Volden and Shipan conclude with lessons for reformers and policymakers and an assessment of the overall argument based on state responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Craig Volden is a Professor of Public Policy and Politics, with appointments in the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and the Woodrow Wilson Department of Politics. He is Co-Director of the Center for Effective Lawmaking, and has published numerous articles in such journals as: American Political Science Review; American Journal of Political Science; Journal of Politics; Legislative Studies Quarterly; Public Administration Review; Journal of Public Policy; and Publius: The Journal of Federalism.

Host Ursula Hackett is Senior Lecturer in Politics at Royal Holloway, University of London. Her Cambridge University Press book America's Voucher Politics: How Elites Learned to Hide the State won the 2021 Education Politics and Policy Best Book Award from the American Political Science Association. Her writing guide Brilliant Essays is published by Macmillan Study Skills. She tweets @UrsulaBHackett.

The Daily Signal - How April 1945 Proved to Be ‘Hinge of History’

A single month determined the course of the 20th century.

That’s what historian Craig Shirley writes about in his newest book, “April 1945: The Hinge of History.”

It’s Shirley’s follow-up to “December 1941,” in which the author and political consultant recounted stories from the lives of leaders and everyday Americans during the attack on Pearl Harbor and the days that followed.

The events of April 1945 are the bookend to the greatest war in human history, as Shirley outlines on this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast.”

President Franklin Roosevelt died, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini was captured and executed by his angry countrymen, and Adolf Hitler shot himself in a Berlin bunker alongside his mistress, Eva Braun, as the Red Army and Western armies closed in. Discovery of Nazi death camps at Dachau and Auschwitz revealed the depth of evil committed by the Nazi regime.

“What’s really interesting,” Shirley says, “is that The New York Times and The Washington Post rarely if ever reported that it was Jews who were primarily being exterminated by the Nazis.”

What followed was a world wholly changed. As the German Reich crumbled and the war drew down to its last days, the United States found itself in a new position as the unquestioned leader of the free world.

NPR's Book of the Day - Writer Arthur Brooks says strivers can end up unhappier later in life

Social science writer Arthur Brooks has figured out how you, yes you, can be happy later in life. He details it all in his new book, From Strength to Strength, but the gist of it is...maybe relax a little. Brooks argues that for people who work too hard to have it all it can be very upsetting when that part of their life is over. The good news is you can start working on your future happiness now. Brooks told NPR's Mary Louise Kelly you have to do the work when you're younger: You can't "leave your happiness up to chance."

Correction (February 22, 2022): The initial release of this episode included the suggestion that medical examiners do not need MDs. In the unedited conversation, Josie corrected herself on this point, but we inadvertently removed it in the edit. The episode has since been edited to remove any confusion regarding this point.
