I was thrilled to have the opportunity to interview my good friend and author, Kevin Doherty, about his latest book, 'Landscape of Shadows.' In this episode, we delve into Kevin's thought process and ideas behind writing, as well as his extensive research on the unorganized resistance in occupied France during World War II. This conversation offers a unique and fascinating perspective on the resistance movement, and will leave you with a deeper understanding of the complexities and challenges faced by those who fought against the German occupation. Join us as we explore the hidden histories and untold stories of the resistance in this enlightening and engaging chat.

Delve into the world of unknown authors and books, starting with "Red Chaos" by Ed Fuller and Gary Grossman. This political thriller is the third book in a series, but it's not as well-known as it should be. Explore the geopolitics of the book and why it's worth reading. 

Then, a look at the historical fiction novel, The Antiquarian written by Alfred Balm. The book is based on true events, and tells the story of Berend Bouters, a talented painter who becomes a black marketer during World War I and starts bringing goods to parts of Europe, in return for valuable artwork. 

Lastly, All Creatures Great and Small vs Emily in Paris. All Creatures Great and Small is a heartwarming story set in the past, where people helped each other and farmers supported other farmers. On the other hand, Emily in Paris is set in the present and focuses on social media and technology.

It is a crazy time in the world of sports as Baseball is on hold. There is the Djokovic fiasco in tennis and, of course, lots of reasons not to watch the Olympics. I look at why I cover foreign stories on science and technology and ponder why US media refuses to cover these amazing stories both here and from abroad. We look at the new threats that Russia has made to bring military deployment to both Cuba and Venezuela and try to figure out exactly what the Biden Administration’s foreign relations policies really are. Finally, we look at the President's incendiary Voting Rights/anti-Filibuster speech which even got much criticism from the progressive left. I take next week off due to another big winter storm coming to Greenville, as well as that my daughter Sara will be here for a visit and we will be celebrating a belated Christmas!
