The Monica Perez Show

Why did one of America's greatest champions of liberty become one of its most hated figures?

To accompany our recent reading of Common Sense and my conversation with George Ford Smith, I'm pleased to share this reading of his outstanding essay, "Tom Paine, Liberty's Hated Torchbearer."

Remembered as one of the architects of American independence, Paine's story didn't end with Common Sense. George traces Paine's journey from the man whose words ignited a revolution to the political and cultural outcast who was smeared, abandoned, and largely erased from the nation's memory.

We’ve all heard of Thomas Paine and think of him as instrumental in the founding of this country, but did you know he may well have been the most critical man alive at the time in fostering and shaping American independence? And what did he get for his efforts and fortitude? Listen and learn as George Ford Smith adds something of real value on the one and only semiquincentennial of our once great country.

The AI Boom is creating an unprecedented number of billionaires and otherwise extremely wealthy people who give billions upon billions to charity--but is it charity as in a gift based on love and good will? Whether these tech nouveau riche know it or not, they are putting their windfall profits into machines built to control the world from the bottom up.

(Part 4) 

Join me as we conclude our newest book reading for Adult Brain...it’s a short one made up of many very short ones...the poet WB Yeats recounts tales he was told in Ireland about faeries and ghosts, and it seems he believes them because he himself was a ceremonial magician and a leader in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn! The tales may not be true, but they are a delightful read & a journey back in time to old Ireland.

(Part 3)

Join me as we continue our newest book reading for Adult Brain...it's a short one made up of many very short ones...the poet WB Yeats recounts tales he was told in Ireland about faeries and ghosts, and it seems he believes them because he himself was a ceremonial magician and a leader in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn! The tales may not be true, but they are a delightful read & a journey back in time to old Ireland.

Step into the legend-haunted world of ancient Ireland as we begin our reading of The Celtic Twilight: Myth, Fantasy and Folklore by W. B. Yeats.

Part memoir, part folklore collection, and part spiritual exploration, The Celtic Twilight captures Yeats's encounters with storytellers, mystics, country folk, and the lingering presence of Ireland's old traditions at the turn of the twentieth century. Within these pages, the boundary between the natural and supernatural grows thin, revealing a world inhabited by fairies, spirits, omens, dreams, and mysteries that refuse to yield to the certainties of modern rationalism.

Drawing from conversations, local legends, and firsthand experiences, Yeats preserves a fading folk tradition while inviting readers into a landscape where myth and reality coexist. His reflections offer a rare glimpse into the beliefs, customs, and imagination of a people for whom the unseen world was never far away.

Whether you're interested in Celtic mythology, folklore, mysticism, literature, or the rich cultural heritage of Ireland, join us as we begin this timeless journey into the twilight realm between imagination and reality.
