Bay Curious - Renaming a State Park

Today we’re getting a little outside the Bay Area because we’re headed to Folsom, just east of Sacramento. There, you’ll find a state park whose name caught the attention of Pendarvis Harshaw, host of KQED's Rightnowish podcast. On a stretch of shoreline, where the northern end of Lake Natoma meets the American River, is Black Miners Bar. Before June 2022 this spot was called by a different name: Negro Bar. This week on Bay Curious, we're featuring an episode of Rightnowish from their series on land in Northern California, 'From the Soil.'

This story originally aired on Rightnowish, whose team includes Pendarvis Harshaw, Marisol Medina-Cadena, Chris Hambrick, Ceil Muller and Ryce Stoughtenborough. Bay Curious is made by Olivia Allen-Price, Amanda Font, Brendan Willard and Katherine Monahan.

White Lies - The Trial

In Episode 6, we sneak into the graveyard of the Atlanta federal penitentiary with a radical peace activist to learn more about what happened in the prison in late 1984. A peaceful protest by detainees held in the Atlanta pen resulted in a violent crackdown, and one of the detainees, a man named Jose Hernandez-Mesa, was charged in federal court with inciting a riot. We tell the story of his trial — and the surprising verdict that began reshaping public opinion about the Mariel Cubans who were being detained.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Lysenkoism (Encore)

In the early 20th century, a Soviet agronomist named Trofim Lysenko developed some unique theories of biology and genetics. 

He rose to the top of the Soviet hierarchy in his field, and Stalin himself endorsed his theories. 

The result of the implementation of his ideas was nothing short of disastrous.

Learn more about Trofim Lysenko and Lysenkoism on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Elizabeth T. Hurren, “Hidden Histories of the Dead: Disputed Bodies in Modern British Medical Research” (Cambridge UP, 2021)

In Hidden Histories of the Dead: Disputed Bodies in Modern British Medical Research (Cambridge University Press, 2021), Dr. Elizabeth T. Hurren maps the post-mortem journeys of bodies, body-parts, organs, and brains, inside the secretive culture of modern British medical research after WWII as the bodies of the deceased were harvested as bio-commons. Often the human stories behind these bodies were dissected, discarded, or destroyed in death.

Hidden Histories of the Dead recovers human faces and supply-lines in the archives that medical science neglected to acknowledge. Dr. Hurren investigates the medical ethics of organ donation, the legal ambiguities of a lack of fully-informed consent and the shifting boundaries of life and re-defining of medical death in a biotechnological era. Dr. Hurren reveals the implicit, explicit and missed body disputes that took second-place to the economics of the national and international commodification of human material in global medical sciences of the Genome era.

This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What A Day - No Guts, No Lori

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot lost her re-election bid on Tuesday, becoming the first one-term mayor of the city in 40 years. Lightfoot failed to capture enough votes to make it to the April 4th runoff, in a campaign marked by growing concerns over crime. 

Drug maker Eli Lilly announced that it would cap the out-of-pocket cost of insulin it makes to $35, bringing relief for the millions of Americans who rely on it to treat diabetes. Vernessa Shih, the story bank director for the U.S. Surgeon General, joins us to discuss the impact that high insulin costs have on patient’s health, families, and finances.

And in headlines: a devastating train crash in Greece killed at least 38 people, the family of Kobe Bryant settled with Los Angeles County for $28.5 million, and hundreds of students walked out of class across Iowa to protest bills targeting LGBTQ youth in the Republican-led state.
