Pod Crashing Episode 203 With Rachel Adams-Heard From In Trust A hundred and fifty years ago, the Osage Nation bought a stretch of prairie the size of Delaware, in what's now Oklahoma. The Osage owned the land and everything beneath it. Today, much of present-day Osage County has left Osage hands. In some cases, appropriation was swift and brutal: Dozens of Osages were murdered for their share of lucrative mineral rights to this oil-rich land, a period often referred to as the Reign of Terror. But other transfers of wealth played out more subtly-dollar by dollar and acre by acre, over decades-helped along by policies created by the US government.

Pod Crashing Episode 202 With Baratunde Thurston From How To Citizen Season 4 How To Citizen reimagines "citizen" as a verb and reminds us how to wield our collective power. In this time of pandemic and revolution, we find ourselves frustrated at so much: high levels of corruption and inequality, our inability to get basic things done, flagrant violations of human rights, and the persistence of systemic racism. Our democratic experiment is at a tipping point, but which way we tip is up to us.

Pod Crashing 201 With Dan Kitrosser From Svetlana Svetlana In 1967, Joseph Stalin's daughter braved her way over the Iron Curtain, secret memoir in tow, and landed in America as the Cold War's most famous defector. At 40 years old, Svetlana had left everything behind for a new life in the West and the chance to finally share her story. What she found instead - a controversial commune in the Arizona desert built by Frank Lloyd Wright, a whirlwind marriage dictated by destiny, and a Montenegrin matriarch with dreams of immortality - was far more complicated. In Svetlana! Svetlana! neurotic playwright Dan Kitrosser unravels the weird and wild life of his greatest muse.

Pod Crashing Episode 200 With Clayton English And Greg Glod From War On Drugs In 1971, President Nixon declared drug abuse 'public enemy number one'- the first salvo in America's War on Drugs. Fifty years later, with drug overdoses in the US at a record high, are we any closer to 'victory'? The War on Drugs has a more profound effect on society than any of us really understands. It is embedded in the fabric of our culture and permeates our daily lives in visible and invisible ways -- perhaps the most daunting pandemic we face. Lava for Good's The War on Drugs podcast, co-hosted by comedian Clayton English and Greg Glod, senior criminal justice fellow at Americans for Prosperity examines the true cost of five decades of policy, policing, and persecution. Special guests, including diverse subject matter experts, peel back the surface of this complicated period of US history, showing the ways the War on Drugs has fueled mass incarceration, exacerbated addiction and hampered economic progress. By shining a spotlight on how our communities have crumbled under the weight of this so-called 'war,' we can explore the politicization of public health policy, systemic racism and classism in the legislation and administration of criminal law, and how decriminalization and other alternatives could bring the fruitless 'war' to an end.

Pod Crashing Episode 199 With Alex And Nigel From More Than A Movie American Me When Edward James Olmos set out on his directorial debut, American Me, he wanted to accomplish two things: to represent Chicano culture on the big screen and to save part of his community from gang violence. But when people were allegedly murdered because of their participation in the film and Olmos himself was allegedly extorted by the real-life Mexican Mafia, it exposed the unintended risks of trying to represent someone with an agenda in mind, even a well-meaning one. Alex Fumero and producer Nigel Duara delve into the true story of American Me and the legacy the controversial film left behind.

Pod Crashing Episode 195 With Jo Piazza From She Want’s More Are more women having affairs? Or are they finally just talking about it? Throughout history, women have been stigmatized, ostracized, and so much worse for committing adultery-while men have too often been given a pass. But the truth is that women have the same wants, needs and desires as men despite cultural assumptions.
