A Black Woman at the Podium: episode 209, Feb 11, 2025

from Disaffected · host disaffected

-The left half of the country is going through the stages of grief as everything they thought they had is going up in smoke.  -The Democratic National Committee leadership election meeting falls apart because no one understands their own rules about "gender balance." We watch them make fools out of themselves to a half-empty stadium.  -The dream of the 90s is dead-good. We can't go back to the 1990s, and we shouldn't want to. It was the last gasp of the Boomer-derived Universal Liberal Agreement of 1964-2024. No more special deference to "protected classes."  **************************************************************Disaffected is sponsored by Anton's Biltong, the best cured meat we've ever had.

Talk Cinephilia to Me Juli Kearns "Talk Cinephilia to me" is a podcast about watching cinema--artistic, outsider, experimental and B movies--brought to you by author playwright, Juli Kearns, and her son, Aaron Dylan Kearns, an experimental filmmaker who, though he was raised on great cinema, loves tawdry horror. He knows things I don't about film. I know things he doesn't. Most importantly, we know enough to be very aware of what we don't know. We promise to be humble, somewhat meandering hosts because we're disaffected dyslexic leftists with opinions and our filters are busted.Check our website for episode notes and info!! Captives of the Flame by Samuel R. Delany (1942 - ) LibriVox Chip Delany's 2nd novel -- the first is The Jewels of Aptor (1962) -- published by Ace Books in 1963. Set in the 35th Century, the survivors of a nuclear war live on the coastline and an island in a kingdom ruled by a royal family in disrepair. A young victim -- the son of a wealthy merchant -- of their wrath becomes a working-class hero as he fights to get back his good name, aided by a disaffected member of the royal family. This was later rewritten as Out of The Dead City by Delany as part of the Towers Trilogy, an early masterpiece, IMO. (Introduction by BellonaTimes) War, Intervention and Development - for iPad/Mac/PC The Open University How can we prevent a country from returning to civil war? When and how should external parties intervene in serious conflicts? This album looks at the decade of violence and destruction that occurred in Sierra Leone in the 1990's.

Lack of education, poverty and unemployment are still rife and it's this lack of development that gives rise to conflict. Views from all sides are presented, including those of women, disaffected youth, members of the RUF and the new peace-keeping forces, to provide an in-depth analysis of the complexities of the aftermath of a civil war.
