NPR's Book of the Day - In a new anthology, Justice Roe Williams rethinks fitness to be more inclusive

As a certified personal trainer, Justice Roe Williams knows the benefits of exercising regularly– but as a Black trans man, he's also experienced how the gym can be far from welcoming. In today's episode, he speaks with NPR's Juana Summers – also a certified trainer – about the new anthology he co-edited, Deconstructing the Fitness Industrial Complex: How to Resist, Disrupt, and Reclaim What it Means to Be Fit in American Culture. Williams and Summers get to talking about how to reimagine accessibility and body positivity in the gym, and why that requires thinking outside the box.

Amarica's Constitution - Duct Tape on a Warhol – Special Guest James Boyle

The Court treated us to an assortment of nude pictures this week.  The occasion was a copyright case featuring the works of Andy Warhol and the photography of Lynn Goldsmith, and the persona of the late artist Prince.  To enlighten us on the intricacies and melodies of copyright law and history, we bring the premier scholar in the field to our podcast - Professor James Boyle of Duke.  The result is a far-ranging discussion ranging from Plato to Creative Commons, the latter an achievement due in no small part to Professor Boyle’s efforts.  As for the case, it might be more important than the Court wants it to be, and we will tell you why.

The Gist - A Roosevelt Redefines America

Law Professor Kermit Roosevelt, author of The Nation That Never Was: Reconstructing America's Story, is worried about the declining stature of the U.S. in the eyes of young people, including his Ivy League students. So, in a bought of patriotism and scholarship, he argues for redefining the USA as being about 150 years old. Plus, a panel of relatives of shooting victims is very sympathetic ... and very unrepresentative. And how water in the West is like the debt ceiling of hydration.

Consider This from NPR - With The Expansion of Carbon Capture Pipelines Come Safety Fears

The United States has 27 years to reach its net-zero emissions goal. And among other initiatives to move towards that goal, the Biden administration is offering incentives for carbon capture and storage.

Carbon capture is a way to suck up carbon dioxide pollution from ethanol plants, power plants and steel factories, and store it deep underground.

While the companies that build the pipelines say the technology will help the U.S. meet its greenhouse gas emissions goals, they have also run into problems.

In Iowa, farmers are pushing back against the pipelines crossing their land. And for a town in Mississippi, a CO2 pipeline endangered lives.

NPR's Julia Simon reports from Satartia, Mississippi on the aftermath of a pipeline rupture. The Climate Investigations Center obtained recordings of the 911 calls from Satartia and shared them with NPR.

Harvest Public Media's Katie Peikes also provided reporting in this episode.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
