  • The Magic Kingdom
    Alaina brings us to the Most Magical Place on Earth, Magic Kingdom Park in the Walt Disney World Resort. We learn about the park's inception and development, and follow a number of notable attractions from opening day to the present. Does the Magic Kingdom have a unique identity, or is it just Disneyland 2? How does something so compelling come from the collision of family passion and profit-seeking? Is there really any hope they'll give us a free vacation for saying mostly nice things? This one went pretty long, so look out for deleted and extended conversations in a supplemental episode next Tuesday!

  • Anabaptists
    Good morning! Today Grant goes for two and talks about the Anabaptists, a movement of related Protestant sects dating back to the early days of the Reformation. Are our civil liberties inspired by people who dropped out of the society they protect? How can small communities survive in isolation, and how could they survive without isolation? Why are people living in modernity fascinated by those who chose not to be?

    Links:
    • Photos of the Barton Creek Mennonites in Belize
  • Story of the Bolivia Mennonite serial rapes
  • Chart of modern conveniences used in Amish communities
  • Sunday School Dropouts
    • Guts - Radiolab

  • TV ads in Presidential Campaigns
    Hello Honey Bunches! This time Grant takes the reigns and teaches us about the history of those campaign ads that plague Americans every four years. We talk about notable examples, trends that come and go, and some points on funding, and how funding impacts form. Is the future of the country sold in the same way as laundry detergent? If big money is the problem, what's the solution? Why did we make an audio program about visual media?
    • The Living Room Candidate
  • PBS' :30 Second Candidate
  • The Selling of the President by Joe McGinniss
  • Gruen (Thanks Cleretic!)
  • Some notable ads not mentioned: Confessions of a Republican, Voting Booth, Bear, Journey, Windsurfing, and plenty more. Did we miss one of your favorites?

  • The Iroquois Theatre Fire
    In our fifth episode, Alaina teaches us about the fire that claimed Chicago's Iroquois Theatre in 1903, the deadliest single-building fire in history. It's a story with some similarities to the Eastland Disaster, and plenty to set it apart as well. When is a door not a door? Is rational self interest the deadliest force in history? What in this dang city hasn't burned down?

    Here's this episode's links!
    • Panorama photo of the burned theater
  • Photos of building features
  • Memorial sculpture (currently in City Hall)
  • Death Alley
