While the abundance of news updates and outlets has led to a more news-conscious public, the sheer quantity of information and opinions can also feel overwhelming—especially when much of it is negative. Our guests today share how they’re taking a more proactive and spiritual approach to watching the news—and how you can, too.

Race Matters Episode 26: What does justice look like in White Spaces?

In this episode, our host Eddie Carson, explains that "Radical Love" is what justice looks like. Sharing his personal experiences of facing structural racism in the community, Eddie explains, how inequality of housing, hiring discrimination, and higher incarceration rates for POC are just a few of many structural institutional devices and policies that persist from the Jim Crowe area. 

Hear how claiming to believe in the "Colorblindness" ideology, when a person alleges they are not racist because they are "blind to skin color" - is truly just another scheme of racism in itself. Educate yourself and learn more in this episode.

Race Matters Episode 26: What does justice look like in White Spaces?

On this week's episode, Mary Jacobsen talks with James Kimmel, Jr. about the psychology of grievance and revenge. Kimmel is lecturer in psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine and co-director of the Yale Collaborative for Motive Control Studies.
Kimmel talks about the role of grievances and retaliation in violent crime, including studies that reveal that “your brain on grievance looks a lot like your brain on drugs.” Harboring a grievance – a perceived wrong or injustice, either real or imagined, says Kimmel – “activates the same neural reward circuitry as narcotics.”
Just as people become addicted to drugs or gambling, people may become addicted to seeking retribution on perceived enemies, or as Kimmel calls it, “revenge addiction.” Kimmel also talks about how cultivation of grievances has become a contagious and dangerous political tool, notably in the wake of the Big Lie and the Jan. 6th insurrection.
“Revenge-seeking” also contributes to domestic violence, youth violence and bullying, police brutality, and terrorism.
According to Kimmel, it’s critical to “increase public education, from school age through adulthood, about healthy ways to process feelings of hurt and humiliation.”
Kimmel will explain “motive control” treatment strategies being piloted successfully at the Yale Collaborative as a means of disrupting grievance addiction and disarming the craving for retaliation.

Chill Vibes ~ By Lee C

I am regularly inspired by the insights and reminiscences of creative people who have been
generous enough to share their experiences. To open my acting classes, I read passages from
memoirs, biographies and interviews of people who are known to the public for many different
reasons, and then I relate those to our experiences as actors. Acting requires us to be fully
present and it challenges us to be guided more by our emotions, intuition, and receptivity than
by our mentality. What we have discovered over the years is that much of the inspiration that
results from this ritual is applicable to many aspects of our lives beyond the craft of acting. It is
with that awareness that I wish to share these musing on a wider platform.

Mary Jacobsen speaks with psychologist Michele Bograd, PhD, about her work as an end-of-life doula. Bograd, who has more than 40 years of experience as a psychotherapist, describes the path that led her to what she calls a “new chapter of adventure, growth, and service” as an end-of-life doula.

Bograd also talks about the role that doulas, a role usually associated with birth, play at the end of life, and how their mission differs from that of hospice providers. She tells stories to illustrate the kind of help asked for by individuals and families preparing for death.

Bograd also speaks about the historical and cultural forces that have led contemporary American culture in some ways to be “death aversive,” and to the commercialization and medicalization of death and dying, in contrast to the family focused rituals and practices of the past.

Mayor's Corner 2024-10-31

Mary Jacobsen speaks with Jane Winchell, Curator of Natural History and Director of the Art and Nature Center at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, about  “Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend,” an exhibition organized by the Smithsonian Institution’s Traveling Exhibition Service.

Winchell talks about the distinctive characteristics of narwhals, sometimes known as “unicorns of the sea” because of the long spiral tusk protruding from their mouths, that make them such enchanting, mysterious, and fascinating animals.

She discusses narwhals’ use of echolocation, how they utilize their tusks, their social structure, and the role they play in Intuit history, culture, and legend. She also talks about the impact of climate change on Arctic ecosystems, including diminishing sea ice and warming waters, and how these developments have contributed to hybrid animals such as grolar bears, a mix of grizzly and polar bears, and narlugas, a mix of narwhals and beluga whales.

Winchell reports that she’s encountered many people who think that narwhals “are not real, that because people compare them to unicorns, they believe they are similarly imaginary.” For anyone who needs convincing, the exhibition continues at PEM through June 15th, 2025.

Mary Jacobsen speaks with historian Rebecca Brenner Graham about her forthcoming book, Dear Miss Perkins: A Story of Frances Perkins’s Efforts to Aid Refugees from Nazi Germany (Kensington, 2025).

A postdoctoral research associate at Brown University, Graham holds a PhD in history and MA in public history from American University. She discusses Perkins’s pioneering accomplishments as the first female cabinet secretary and an architect of the New Deal as Labor Secretary under FDR. But she primarily focuses on the subject of her new book, Perkins’s little known role saving Jewish refugees from the Nazi regime.

At the time, the Immigration and Naturalization Service was part of the Department of Labor, so Perkins held the power to intervene of the behalf of Jewish refugees. Graham read through thousands of letters at the National Archives addressed to “Dear Miss Perkins,” pleading for her help in escaping Nazi rule.

Graham also discusses the significance of Perkins’s family homestead, located along the Damariscotta River in Newcastle, Maine, being declared a National Monument by President Biden in December of last year.

Race Matters Eps 62: The Radical King

Episode 48

Mary Jacobsen speaks with Broadway performer, writer and composer Caren Lyn Manuel Tackett about  “Slide; a Quest for Mental Health,” which she wrote and will perform at the Firehouse Center for the Arts on February 7th and 8th at 7:30 p.m. and Feb. 9th at 2 p.m.

“Slide”'s director, Colin Gregory accompanies Tackett, along with Kate McSwain of American Ice Theatre.

Tackett grew up in Boxford and performed in shows at the Newburyport skating rink, where her father was an announcer. She began her musical theater career on Broadway and on world tours in 1995 with the role of Eponine in "Les Miserables," and went on to perform roles in “Rent,” “High Fidelity,” “Hair,” “Brooklyn,” “Evita” and “Grease,” among others. But Tackett says her “primary passion” has always been “creating and sharing my own music and productions.”

Tackett discusses why she chose in “Slide” to explore a “subject that is often not part of the cultural conversation; the misdiagnosis and mistreatment of those diagnosed with mental illness in our society.” She describes how “Slide” presents  a fictionalized account of her own quest for mental health.

“Slide” is billed as a “staged concert experience” incorporating multiple arts including music, painting, dance, theater, and even ice skating. Caren explains how she utilizes these different art forms in the performance.

Morning Show with Mary Jacobsen 2025-01-30 Caren Lyn Manuel Tackett

Mary Jacobsen speaks with Peter Muise, author of “Legends and Lore of the North Shore” about the history of accused witch Elizabeth Morse of Newbury, now Newburyport, who was tried and found guilty of witchcraft in 1697. Sentenced to be hanged, she was reprieved and sentenced instead to lifelong confinement in her husband’s home near what is now Market Square.

Jacobsen says that she became aware of Morse when she noticed a plaque commemorating her on the side of a building at the corner of Liberty and State Streets. “I’m sure that, like myself, many Newburyporters have walked right by this sign unaware of its amazing content. When it is drawn to their attention, as I hope to do with Muise’s interview, they are likely to be astonished by and curious about the life of Mrs. Elizabeth Morse, Witch of Newbury.”

Muise talks about the Puritan theology underlying belief in witchcraft, and how it led to their view that it was always and necessarily the result of consorting with the devil. He also describes the dynamics of the Morse family and its contribution to Elizabeth’s strange and tragic situation, as well as the "spectral skepticism" of appeals court judges that led to her reprieve.

Muise discusses the pre-Enlightenment worldview that led to numerous witchcraft trials throughout Europe prior to the infamous Salem witch trials. He also explains why Ireland, in contrast to other nations, had relatively few witch trials.

Loretta (Lori) Mangano is a Holistic Wellness Practitioner, Minister, Hospice Chaplain, and Reiki Master. After years of experience as an Art Therapist and Grief Counselor in oncology and hospice, she founded Sacred Oak Healing Services to support those on their healing journeys.

Lori’s spiritual journey began at a very young age, and continues to transform. Growing up as an Italian Catholic New Yorker, Lori felt fortunate to have parents who nurtured a life based in faith and spirituality. At the same time, as a young child Lori was deeply drawn to Native American spirituality, and as a teenager found herself interested in the Lakota sacred ways. In the late 80’s Lori became a member of the NY diocese Parish Mission Team, where she studied and ministered through parish missions and sacred dance, clowning and puppetry in schools, and prison ministry at Sing Sing Correctional Facility. It was ministering to the homebound that drew Lori further into love for hospice work.

Currently Lori continues to study and practice the Medicine Wheel Walk of the Lakota tradition on which she bases her work and life, integrating emotion, spirit, mind, and body. She is passionate about helping children and adolescents grow into healthy and empowered adults by learning they have the tools to survive difficult emotions and navigate challenging circumstances. Lori works with all ages offering Creative Expression, Reiki and Reiki Training, Soothing through the Senses, Journey Process, Grief Support, Sacred Ceremonies and Celebrations of Life, and Enneagram workshops. www.SacreOakHealingServices.com

Mary Jacobsen speaks with Karina H. Corrigan, Associate Director of Collections and the H.A. Crosby Forbes Curator of Asian Export Art at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem about the exhibition “Saints, Sinners, Lovers, and Fools: 300 Years of Flemish Masterworks.”

Corrigan talks about what made Flanders culturally and historically important from the 15th through the 17th centuries. She also discusses how Flemish painters such as Rubens, VanDyck, and Breughel, created new ways of seeing that were precursors to contemporary forms of artistic representation.

Corrigan also describes innovations in technique and materials that give Flemish paintings their characteristic and durable vibrant and luminous colors.

Other topics Corrigan discusses include the role of art in religious worship; innovations in landscape painting and portraiture; and the development of “cabinets of curiosities” to display artifacts gathered by explorers and traders from around the world.

The exhibition will be on display through May 4th. For more information visit www.PEM.org.

Dolores Person and Rachel Person of the Person + Person Group and Raveis Real Estate will visit the “Morning Show” on March 13th to discuss Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).

The Persons will describe changes in Newburyport’s zoning ordinances that allow owners of single family zoned houses to build ADUs, or small, independent living spaces on the same property.

ADU’s are viewed as a way to address the crisis in affordable housing, as well as an opportunity for home owners to generate income or to accommodate family members.

The Persons will explain guidelines for a unit’s size, rental options, and requirements regarding parking.

They will also describe the free workshop and panel discussion on ADUs that they will host at the Senior Center at 6 p.m. on March 13th . 

As Dolores Person has said, “Many people are interested in creating ADUs, but don’t know where to begin.” The workshop aims “to help people navigate the process.”

To register for the workshop go to: http://bit.ly/4bmQi4e. For more information contact Person + Person Group – Raveis Real Estate at 978-660-0967.

Mary Jacobsen speaks with Cassidy Balcome, President of Newburyport High School’s Bring Change 2 Mind Club (BC2M), and Vice President Kelsey Simons as well as Club Counselor Jaime Calisi.

BC2M is a national nonprofit with school-based, student-led chapters that aims to reduce stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness, and to provide young people with support and resources.

Balcome and Simons discuss the projects and events BC2M has initiated at the high school, such as sponsoring visits from therapy dogs to reduce students’ stress during exams.

A priority for BC2M is to reduce the use of stigmatizing language regarding mental illness, which can create harmful and inaccurate stereotypes, thereby creating barriers to talking about mental health concerns and reaching out for help. Balcome, Simons, and Calisi give examples of ways to talk about mental illness that foster understanding, compassion and support.
