Literary Friction Special - Elif Batuman

Frode Helmich Pedersen og Gisle Selnes i samtale om saken mot, og svertingen av Julian Assange. Podcasten er produsert i anledning lanseringen av Forfølgelsen av Julian Assange den 16. juni og Storbritannias nylige beslutning om å utlevere Assange.

Pedersen og Selnes' bok handler om årsakene til at Assange ble en statsfiende av USA og måtte søke asyl ved den ecuadorianske ambassaden i stedet for å melde seg for det britiske rettsvesenet. Denne boken er ingen kjølig vurdering for eller imot Assange, men et forsvar for Assanges nyskapende virke som redaktør og journalist, skrevet ut fra et ønske om å bidra til at han blir frikjent eller benådet.
I denne podcasten tar Pedersen og Selnes for seg noen av mytene rundt Assange-saken som de behandler i boken, men også hvilken betydning avgjørelsen 17. juni vil ha å si for Assange og for den globale pressefriheten.

Interview with USA Today bestselling author Michael J Allen

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Julia Brock from the University of Alabama and Dr. Stephanie Chalifoux from the University of West Georgia about their ongoing work at the Lillian E. Smith Center. Over the past few years, they have come to the center to catalogue the items at the center. This includes everything from books to silverware. We spoke with them about their work, Lillian's siblings, and much more.

Dr. Brock mentioned finding a SNCC pin at the camp. It wasn't a SNCC pin; rather, it was a CORE (Conference of Racial Equality) pin.

Τι κοινό μπορεί να έχει ένας δικηγόρος με έναν ναυτικό και έναν διάσημο δημοσιογράφο; Μία γυναίκα που βρίσκεται στη φυλακή για ένα αποτρόπαιο έγκλημα με μία άλλη, της διπλανής πόρτας; Έχει κάτι κοινό ένας σεφ με έναν Αλβανό οικονομικό μετανάστη που εργάζεται ως οικοδόμος; Είναι ικανοί όλοι οι άνθρωποι να αγαπήσουν, να ερωτευτούν, να εργαστούν και να ζήσουν ελεύθερα; Κι αν ναι, έχουν αυτό το δικαίωμα;

“Dope with Lime” is a production of the Lillian E. Smith Center at Piedmont College. Through interviews with scholars, artist residents, readers, and more, “Dope with Lime” discusses Lillian E. Smith’s life, work, and continued legacy. 

“Dope with Lime” was a column that Lillian E. Smith wrote in the pages of the literary journal that she co-edited with her partner Paula Snelling. Colloquially, the phrase referred to cutting the sweetness of Coca-Cola with lime juice. In her columns, Smith would us satire and bite to comment on Southern life and letters. The column was, for all intents and purposes, blog and podcast like, relaying Smith’s thoughts in a conversational and witty manner.
