NPR's Book of the Day - Alex Haley nearly lost it all writing ‘Roots’
To recognize Black History Month, Book of the Day is digging into the archives to bring you some important interviews. In 1977, author Alex Haley told NPR he didn't want to put the main character of Roots, Kunta Kinte, on a slave ship. To prepare for writing that portion of the novel, Haley flew to Africa and caught a voyage home on a cargo ship — sneaking down into the hold after dinner. In the mornings, he would write notes about what he thought Kunta's experience would have been like. He told NPR's Marty Griffen that the experience weighed him down so much it nearly cost him his life.
Ologies with Alie Ward - Carnivore Ecology (LIONS, TIGERS, & BEARS) with Rae Wynn-Grant
Ah, charismatic megafauna! Teeth, claws, fur, hibernation, bear hugs, hiking, cougar attacks, nature preserves, and living your childhood dreams with Alie’s longtime -ologist crush, Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant. The large carnivore ecologist, researcher and TV presenter tells us all about her field work, what it’s like to stuff a baby bear in your coat, how carnivore plasma may one day save your life, balancing a few different stellar careers at once and the launch of her own PBS podcast, Going Wild. Also: how to revive a bear you’ve given ketamine and surprises she’s found in the woods. We love her.

Amarica's Constitution - A New ERA – Special Guest Jesse Wegman
The Archivist of the United States is in the news, and if that’s happening, you know some esoteric constitutional question is up. Fortunately, “Amarica’s Constitution,” is on the case. We have New York Times Editorial Board member, Jesse Wegman, who wrote for the Times on this subject recently, raising all sorts of issues - which Akhil is happy to answer for Jesse and for all of us. Meanwhile, this is all about the Equal Rights Amendment, and Amendments in general, and Article V of the Constitution, and what about ERA anyway - what would it do? All this and more - with feeling. There’s a lot here, so this is part one of two.

This episode is sponsored by TurboTax Live and Metapurse.fund.
“This space has changed my life. I’ve met people that make me feel understood for when so long I just thought the world was cruel … Now I’ve found my people.”
19-year-old NFT artist FEWOCiOUS joins “NFT All-Stars” hosts Artnome and Marguerite deCourcelle for a conversation on how NFTs have opened up access to the art world like never before. FEWOCiOUS explains the importance of art to him as a young, transgender artist and how his journey changed when he sold his first NFT. His career has exploded since then, and he recounts a recent high point with his series “Hello, i'm Victor (FEWOCiOUS) and This Is My Life” that went to auction at Christie’s in 2021.
