I was immediately hooked. It is understandable then, why nearly two years later, I was excited to learn that we would be using episodes of More Perfect, a Radiolab spinoff, in a course called The Politics of Law and Sexuality. More Perfect uncovered the stories behind United States Supreme Court cases. I was drawn in by the beautiful, rich auditory experience, and the moving stories told. Some of the blandest sounding court cases or legal decisions became undeniably, and at times heart-wrenchingly, human. I believe podcasts can convey stories about the past in a way that no other medium is quite able to replicate. As I got closer to my senior year, I began connecting the dots of my interests and my educational experience. I love history and have a passion for education. I had been studying women in history and had made a podcast about the gender binary for my final project in my Politics of Law and Sexuality tutorial that was based primarily on historical information. Such reflections eventually led to my decision to create a podcast about women in history. My goal was to make a podcast tailored for use in United States (US) History courses at the high school level, and my hope was that the podcast would make it easier for teachers to incorporate more information about the important contributions that women have made to the development of US history and its intellectual and cultural foundations. I used storytelling techniques to illustrate concepts and incorporated expert interviews, primarily with scholars who research these individuals, to create this podcast. This approach 4 SUPERHERO WOMEN ;;;;;5 incorporated my journalistic training in interviewing and storytelling techniques. I also incorporated audio segments created by students at Athens High School (AHS), which I detail further in later sections of this paper. It proved an incredibly humbling experience to contemplate the considerable breadth of notable women in US history and narrow my featured group to a select few figures. I decided to focus on the time frame from about 1850 to 1930, and then chose my individuals. I eventually settled on Jane Addams, Emma Goldman, Lucy Parsons, and Margaret Sanger, although I strongly considered including Jeanette Rankin, Mother Jones, and Alice Paul. I concluded that it would be more reasonable to stick with four individuals considering the time frame I had available to complete the project. Regardless, the contributions of each of these women illustrate important themes of the time period, and by telling their life stories and chronicling their impact, I hope to add texture to listeners’ experience of US history. Literature Review The Promise of Podcasts The journalistic form of a podcast, which I employed for my professional project, has grown increasingly popular over the last ten years. Today, 51 percent of the US population ages 12 and up have listened to a podcast according to the 2019 Podcast Consumer report created by Edison Research (“The Podcast Consumer,” 2019). This compares to 33 percent in 2015 and only 11 percent in 2006. Additionally, a good deal of this growth has occurred in the age group 5 SUPERHERO WOMEN ;;;;;6 which I am targeting for my podcast, listeners between the ages of 12 and 24 (“The Podcast Consumer,” 2019). It has long been acknowledged that one of the strengths of podcasts is that they, unlike radio, are not bound to the constraints of time and place. Podcasts were initially conceptualized as a form of “audioblogging” (Quirk, 2015). The origin of the term “podcast” is often pinpointed to 2004 when Ben Hammersley coined the term in an article in The Guardian. However, in 2005 when Apple iTunes offered over 3,000 free podcasts, this relatively new medium became more- widely accessible (Quah, 2017). This was the first step in podcasting developing from “the nichiest, wonkiest content platforms” into a “star-studded, self-contained media ecosystem with hundreds of millions of dollars in annual advertising revenue,” (Quah, 2017, p.1). Podcasting was appealing to content creators because it allowed them to sidestep many of the demands that limited traditional media. According to an article in The Guardian from 2004— the cusp of the first boom of podcasting— early podcasting pioneer Christopher Lydon saw the flexibility of podcasting as one of its major benefits. Lydon is the creator of one of the first and longest running podcasts, Open Source, which is described on its website as “an American conversation with global attitude.” The author states, “With no publisher to appease, no editor to report to, and an abundance of cheap tools, [Christopher Lydon] says he feels unleashed to work directly with his audience,” (Hammersley, 2004, p.1). Podcasting has been described as the “latest in a long line of technologies developed to democratize communication” (Quah, 2017, p.3). This observation about the democratizing nature of podcasting has been noted by scholarly sources as early as 2006. Media scholar Richard Berry notes that unlike traditional radio, “No one person owns the technology and so it is free to listen and create content, thereby 6 SUPERHERO WOMEN ;;;;;7 departing from the traditional model of ‘gate-kept’ media and production tools,” (Berry, 2006, p.146). Podcasting has less stringent barriers of entry than traditional radio, from which it derives many of its main features. The basic tools to make and release a podcast, such as sound recording and editing applications, can be accessed by anyone with a smartphone and internet connection. Because of this, Berry argues that podcasting is a disruptive technology. The barrier between producer and consumer is lowered. Podcasting is “a classic ‘horizontal’ media form: producers are consumers and consumers become producers and engage in conversations with each other,” (Berry, 2006, pg. 146). Yet, this is not the only difference between traditional radio and podcasting. Michele Hilmes (2013) noted three main differences “materiality,” “mobility,” and “globalism” (p. 43). Podcasts introduced the unique development that, unlike traditional broadcast radio, their content is not ephemeral. Given that an individual has a device that can download and play audio and an internet connection, they can download a podcast, play it, pause it, rewind, and listen as many times as they please (Hilmes, 2013). In this way, a medium which has its roots in radio has been made more “material.” And, what’s more, listeners can choose practically any location they wish to listen to the content, making it more mobile. Content that is produced in one location can relatively easily be consumed in another town, state, or even nation. These changes, but especially “materiality” has opened the door for radio-like content to change and expand. Podcasts have their roots in radio and many radio programs have deeply influenced the genre. This American Life, Studio360, and Radiolab are a few which have sparked the new “golden age” of the radio documentary (Biewen, 2010). Podcasts mix “elements of journalism and documentary with drama and subjective reflection...constructing empathetic, character- driven accounts of realities,” (Salvati, 2015, p. 234). It therefore moves ideas from the general 7 SUPERHERO WOMEN ;;;;;8 and abstract to the individual. Podcast creators have used the medium, which tends toward a sense of intimacy, to add a human element to a wide variety of topics. Podcasts and radio share characteristics, practices, and institutions, however, as Toni Sellas (2019) notes they have gradually developed their own cultural practices as they have expanded beyond the radio industry and into such areas as education, marketing, arts, and public relations. The development of norms and practices that are unique from those found in radio means that podcasts have

We’re telling diverse stories that bring to life the dynamic history of Illinois.” Additionally, the Museum will include each of these women and other female historical figures on its new “In Her Footsteps Illinois Women’s History Trail” website scheduled to launch in May. The website will pinpoint locations across the state connected to women who have contributed to Illinois history. It will summarize each woman’s story and provide information on historic sites and markers that the public can visit.

(Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for History and Social Studies) [8.T4.12] FOCUS QUESTION: What are the Different Ways That Political Protest Happens in a Democracy? Building Democracy for All 1 Rosa Parks being fingerprinted by Deputy Sheriff D.H. Lackey after being arrested for boycotting public transportation, Montgomery, Alabama, February, 1956 Public domain photograph from The Plain Dealer newspaper The right to protest is essential in a democracy. It is a means for people to express dissatisfaction with current situations and assert demands for social, political, and economic change. Protests make change happen and throughout the course of United States history it has taken sustained protests over long periods of time to bring about substantive change in governmental policies and the lives of people. Protest takes political courage as well, the focal point of Standard 4.11 in this book. The United States emerged from American protests against England’s colonial rule. Founded in 1765, the Sons of Liberty and the Daughters of Liberty organized protests against what they Building Democracy for All 2 considered to be unfair British laws.

  • The Civil War in the American Ruling Class
    tripleC 16(2): 857-881, 2018 http://www.triple-c.at The Civil War in the American Ruling Class Scott Timcke Department of Literary, Cultural and Communication Studies, The University of The West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago, [email protected] Abstract: American politics is at a decisive historical conjuncture, one that resembles Gramsci’s description of a Caesarian response to an organic crisis. The courts, as a lagging indicator, reveal this longstanding catastrophic equilibrium. Following an examination of class struggle ‘from above’, in this paper I trace how digital media instruments are used by different factions within the capitalist ruling class to capture and maintain the commanding heights of the American social structure. Using this hegemony, I argue that one can see the prospect of American Caesarism being institutionally entrenched via judicial appointments at the Supreme Court of the United States and other circuit courts. Keywords: Gramsci, Caesarism, ruling class, United States, hegemony Acknowledgement: Thanks are due to Rick Gruneau, Mariana Jarkova, Dylan Kerrigan, and Mark Smith for comments on an earlier draft. Thanks also go to the anonymous reviewers – the work has greatly improved because of their contributions. A version of this article was presented at the Local Entanglements of Global Inequalities conference, held at The University of The West Indies, St. Augustine in April 2018. 1. Introduction American politics is at a decisive historical juncture. Stalwarts in both the Democratic and the Republican Parties foresee the end of both parties. “I’m worried that I will be the last Republican president”, George W. Bush said as he recoiled at the actions of the Trump Administration (quoted in Baker 2017).

Printed in the United States of America. 2015 Number 4 This Quarter It’s almost a truism these days to say that modern corporations must be agile. The pace of industry disruption arising from the digital revolution, combined with nimble, new competitors—including many from emerging markets—have raised the cost of complacency and rigidity. But what does it mean to achieve agility? This issue’s cover package tries to answer that question, starting with intriguing new McKinsey research. Using data from McKinsey’s Organizational Health Index, Michael Bazigos, Aaron De Smet, and Chris Gagnon show how organizations that combine speed with stability are far likelier to be healthy than companies that simply move fast. The utility sector is a striking example of one industry that needs to combine flexibility and stability. Although digital competitors, new data-based business models, and renewable-energy sources are changing the landscape in certain markets, the industry’s sprawl- ing base of heavy assets remains core to its future. Sven Heiligtag and his colleagues Dominik Luczak and Eckart Windhagen describe how a number of leading utilities are trying to straddle these two worlds, suggesting some lessons for companies in other sectors.

This boundary, often referred to in the West as a ‘Chinese Wall’, is designed to uphold the inde- pendence of journalists from commercial interests or the whims of news proprietors. But does this separation still exist in today’s age of social media and at a time when news revenues are under unprecedented pressure?
