Bay Curious - The Story of Russell City, the Town that Lost the Blues

Russell City used to be a thriving community in the 1940s and 50s. But in the 1960s Alameda County and the city of Hayward used eminent domain to seize the land, evict the residents and build an industrial park. We hear stories from former Russell City residents about what it used to be like there.

Village SquareCast - Flip the Switch: Corey Nathan interviews Liz Joyner and Vanessa Rowse

Join us as podcast host Corey Nathan of Talkin’ Politics and Religion without Killin’ Each Other flips the switch by interviewing The Village Square's Liz Joyner and Vanessa Rowse about how we make pigs fly.  We were fast friends with Corey right from the start because of our shared goal to have constructive and respectful conversations about those taboo topics of politics and religion.

Corey started TP&R to take back some of the airspace from the screamers who feed off our divisions. He says politics and religion are too important to be left only to the extremes, so he hosts engaging, provocative and fun conversations about the most pressing issues of our times.  We (obviously) love his mission, we love the show, and we love hanging out with Corey, so we were thrilled when he invited us on the show.  Now we're sharing that talk with you because we think you'll love Corey and his podcast too.

From Corey, about this episode:  "We get into all kinds of important, timely topics including:

  • how we're all living in this "high energy environment";
  • the "us vs. them dynamic" and what the solution is;
  • the value of actually getting together in person;
  • how the Village Square is able to get people of diverse views in the same venue together;
  • how the first casualty in this environment is nuance;
  • and being played by the "conflict entrepreneurs.""

Shout out to The Democracy Group for introducing us to Corey Nathan.  The Democracy group is a network of podcasts working to understand what’s broken in our democracy and how we can all work together to fix it.

It was the final act in a rebellion against the Roman Empire, the ramifications of which are still felt in the world today.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘South To America’ shows how southern history shaped our nation

Author Imani Perry is a child of the South. In her newest book South to America: A Journey Below the Mason-Dixon to Understand the Soul of a Nation, she gives the reader a look at the South's complicated history, interwoven with her own personal anecdotes. Even though the South has a difficult history, Perry contends, it provides important context for America today. Perry told NPR's Mary Louise Kelly that in order to write this book she had to stop romanticizing the place she calls home – and, instead, look at it starkly. This is an encore episode from January 2022.

The Gist - Politics and PTSD

Jason Kander was a Democrat-on-the-rise, who was silently struggling with demons. He tells the story of casting aside politics for his own mental survival in “Invisible Storm: A Soldier's Memoir of Politics and PTSD” Plus, our habit of publicly predicting death and civil war after every right-wing paroxysm doesn't serve anyone well, and Domino's somehow fails to take hold in the birthplace of pizza.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara and Ian Scotto
