I did also sing and play guitar near the end of Episode 258 featuring my friend, Mark Rohrer.This time, I busked on May 3, 2026 at Lake Eola Park in Orlando, Florida. I only played for about a half an hour before an Orange County Parks Department Employee came up to me.“Sir, you can play, you just can't be busking, alright?” the guy said, in what sounded like an Australian accent.“Why not?” I said.“It's against park rules.”“Really?”“Yeah.”“I called city hall. And I wasn't informed of that.”“You can play your instrument here, you just can't be busking, asking for money.”“I don't ask for money. I don't have a sign.”“OK then. OK cool. Cool.”“You sure?”“Yeah no worries.”But, as you'll hear, I did not think he thought it was cool. So, I left soon after. In this episode you'll hear only one song from the performance, “Why Don't You Love Me” by Hank Williams.Follow me on Mastodon: newsie.social/@therobburgessshowCheck out my Linktree: linktr.ee/therobburgessshowSubscribe to my Substack: therobburgessshow.substack.com/Follow me on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/robaburg.bsky.social

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess.On this our 280th episode, our returning guest is… me!I have done nearly two dozen previous solo episodes of this podcast. For the complete list, check the show notes.I am a 35-time award-winning journalist whose work has appeared in print, radio, online and television. I am currently a Reporter for Financial Planning Magazine. Most recently, I was Technology Reporter for Wealth Management Magazine; Editor of the Wabash Plain Dealer; News Editor of NUVO; Managing Editor of the Indiana Lawyer; and City Editor, Opinion Page Editor and Editorial Board Member of the Kokomo Tribune. I was also a reporter at WFHB, the Times-Mail, The Reporter-Times, Ukiah Daily Journal and Ukiah Valley Television.I’m also the proprietor of the podcast, The Rob Burgess Show.This is going to be a very special episode.It's about a field trip I took in fifth grade.You can watch it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJJ4i-oy4J8Here's a House of Burgess column I wrote when I was News Editor of NUVO published Feb. 23, 2019 titled, “Past as Prologue”: https://web.archive.org/web/20190224000411/https://www.nuvo.net/voices/burgess-past-as-prologue/article_0a36f1f2-36c3-11e9-9828-a75a4166eb4c.htmlHere's the column by Justin Watterson published Feb. 24, 2018 on his Wordpress blog, The Wattersonian, titled, “The Remains of Oliver Burnett and Lessons from the Woods”: https://wattersonian.wordpress.com/2018/02/24/the-remains-of-oliver-burnett-and-lessons-from-the-woods/A few weeks ago, I found the notebook from the field trip in my garage.Here's what I wrote Oct. 26, 1993:“Our Centary [Cemetary] Field Trip“We left at 9:24 [a.m.] to private little spot with 3 gravesites. To get here go down Highway 60 to the third road on the left. Go down till you see an open field on the left is a hill climb up it until you have almost reaches the top. Go into the woods and when you see 3 stones. Mr. Watterson told us about the importantce [importance] of written history.“Then we put holes in the ground. Then we posts in the ground. Then Mr. Watterson talked about folklore. Then we put some hooks in the posts. After that we put a long, long chain that we put around the posts. Then we asked questions. We went back down the hill. Then we went back to the bus. We retraced our steps there. As we went home, Mr. Watterson told us about a guy who killed his wife and 2 brothers a hair pin. I did not believe it. We got back to school at 10:40 a.m. This field trip was very, very fun and interesting.”I asked Justin if he knew any more about that last bit. He said:“I should have known the story you were referring to. That grave is an Isom woman and I think she was related to the perpetrator in question. When Van Sanders used to tell those stories to Dad when he was alive (his family was an original plot owner there in that area so he knew the history) he always referred to the hill as "Ant'ony Hill." I found census records for I believe an Anthony Isom. The story was that his wife fell disabled (invalid) and he got tired of taking care of her so he took and axe and chopped her up. Finding records of that is pretty much impossible but that's what you're referring to I think.“There were a bunch of mixed-race folks who settled right there in that area and I always kind of guessed that it was because the old Indian boundary line was right there going through that area way back in the day. Isom was a very common name among them and they mostly came from Virginia where other such settlements existed. There were notable other settlements of free people of color around the state back in the 19th century.“It's an interesting wormhole to go down. What defined "black" on the census was kind of crazy. I found some people on the 1850 census who were market as black but then ten years later they were white.”Now, let's travel 32 years in the past.linktr.ee/therobburgessshow

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess.On this our 275th episode our guest is Alexander Morpheigh.Alexander Morpheigh, whose real name is Alex Mazal, was born on April 29, 1972, and is a professional with a unique blend of expertise in science, engineering, business, and philosophy. Married with two children, Alexander's academic foundation began with extensive studies in physics and astronomy.

Since 2012, he has dedicated himself to the study of ancient Greek philosophy. This journey led him to contract a professional film crew in 2017 to create a documentary, investigating the legacy of Pythagoras and his modern followers. While the documentary remained unreleased, the project unearthed intriguing discoveries, including the existence of three secret Pythagorean orders comprised of contemporary scientists, such as mathematicians, physicists, and astronomers.With over three decades of experience in industrial automation engineering, Alexander has been at the forefront of innovation in this field.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess.On this our 274th episode our guest is Stephen Fagin, Curator of The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza and author of “Assassination and Commemoration.” Since joining the Museum in 2000, he has appeared in numerous documentaries and television programs and given hundreds of media interviews, including appearances on the Today Show and Good Morning America. Fagin, who holds degrees from Southern Methodist University and the University of Oklahoma, also serves as Associate Editor of Legacies Dallas History Journal.In many ways, this episode has been 12 years in the making. In early 2013, when I was Night Editor of the Kokomo Tribune, a reader came into the office carrying a stack of yellowing editions of the paper. She said she had found them in her parents’ attic and wanted to see if we wanted them before they headed to the trash heap. In the stack were three copies concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy: the Nov. 23, 24 and 27, 1963 editions of the paper.A few months later, in November 2013, I wrote a story about these historical newspapers and also a column about the assassination itself.After I left the Kokomo Tribune in 2017, I packed these newspapers up in a box and mostly didn't look at them for the next few years.Then, a few months ago, I found out I would have the opportunity to travel to Dallas for a work conference. I contacted the museum to see if they might be interested in receiving these newspapers as a donation. I also asked if someone there might be available to be a guest on this podcast.Megan Bryant, director of collections and intellectual property, kindly responded and said they would be glad to accept this donation. She also put me in touch with Stephen, who also kindly agreed to be interviewed while I was there.So, this past week, I carefully packed the newspapers in my bag and headed off to Dallas. After my conference finished, I headed over to the museum. I met Megan and handed over the newspapers, which are now housed under the prestigious title, “Rob Burgess collection.” Stephen and I then made our way to their studio on the first floor of the former Texas School Book Depository, which was a surreal experience to say the least. I then took the elevator to the sixth floor to check out the museum itself. During my visit, I also had the opportunity to hear Stephen deliver one of his weekly gallery talks, in which he featured Lee Harvey Oswald's 14-karat gold wedding band.Thank you to Megan, Stephen and the rest of the museum staff for such a wonderful experience.I have included links to photos of the historical newspapers I donated along with photos I took while I was in Dallas of Dealey Plaza, John F.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess.On this our 263rd episode, our returning guest is Thom Hartmann.You first heard Thom Hartmann on Episode 233.Thom Hartmann is the four-time Project Censored Award-winning, New York Times best-selling author of 25 books currently in print in over a dozen languages on five continents.Hartmann is also an internationally known speaker on culture and communications, an author, and an innovator in the fields of psychiatry, ecology and economics.The co-founder (with his wife, Louise) and former Executive Director of The New England Salem Children's Village (1978) and The Hunter School (1997), he has led national innovations in the areas of residential treatment for abused children and private and public education for learning-disabled children.He has helped set up hospitals, famine relief programs, schools and refugee centers in India, Uganda, Australia, Colombia, Russia and the United States through the German-based Salem International program. Formerly rostered with the State of Vermont as a psychotherapist, founder of The Michigan Healing Arts Center and licensed as an NLP Trainer by Richard Bandler (who wrote the foreword to one of Thom's books), he was the originator of the revolutionary "Hunter/Farmer Hypothesis" to understand the psychiatric condition known as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).A guest faculty member at Goddard College in Vermont, he also synthesized the "Younger/Older Culture model" for describing the underpinnings, and possible solutions, to the world's ecological and socio-political crises, suggesting that many of our problems are grounded in cultural "stories" which go back thousands of years.Leonardo DiCaprio was inspired by Thom's book "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight" to make the movie "The 11th Hour" (in which Thom appears), and a series of environmental videos narrated by Hartmann and DiCaprio, available at Green World Rising.Talkers Magazine named Thom Hartmann as the most important progressive talk show host in America for the past decade, and for three of the past five years the no. 1 most important progressive host, in their “Heavy Hundred” ranking. His radio show is syndicated on for-profit radio stations nationwide by WYD Media, on non-profit and community stations nationwide by Pacifica, across the entire North American continent on SiriusXM Satellite radio, on cable systems nationwide by Cable Radio Network (CRN) and Free Speech TV, on its own YouTube channel, via subscription podcasts, worldwide through the US American Forces Network, and through the Thom Hartmann App in the App Store. The radio show is also simulcast as TV in realtime into nearly 60 million US and Canadian homes by the Free Speech TV Network on Dish Network, DirectTV and cable TV systems nationwide.From 2010 to 2017, Hartmann hosted a one-hour daily TV show, “The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann,” which was editorially directed by his wife and was broadcast from the Washington, D.C., studios of the RT America news network.As an entrepreneur, he's founded several successful businesses which still are operating, and lived and worked with his wife, Louise, and their three (now adult) children on several continents.He was born in Michigan and retains strong ties to the Midwest, although he has lived in many regions. He now lives on the Columbia River in Portland, Oregon.His new book, “The Hidden History of the American Dream: The Demise of the Middle Class ― and How to Rescue Our Future,” was published Oct. 8, 2024.Subscribe to my Substack: therobburgessshow.substack.com/Follow me on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/robaburg.bsky.socialFollow me on Mastodon: newsie.social/@therobburgessshowCheck out my Linktree: linktr.ee/therobburgessshow

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess.On this our 258th episode our guest is Mark Rohrer.Mark Rohrer was born and raised in northwest Indianapolis, in Pike Township. After graduating Indiana University and working in Operations Management for three years, he went back to work for the family business, Reno's Music - GuitarHotline. Reno, Mark's father, opened Reno's Music in 1991 and currently continues to serve the local and nationwide community with guitar sales. He has been happily married to his true love since 2014 and has two children.A quick programming note: For this episode, I decided to try something new. At the end, Mark and I played and sang a few songs on guitar. Mark sang the first song, “The Way Country Sounds” by Jeremy Pinnell. I sang the second song, “Dead Flowers” by the Rolling Stones. And Mark sang the third song, “I Don't Wanna Move” by the Oracle Sisters. The first two are songs we've played together many times and I practiced them ahead of time. The third song, though, was completely new to me and I had never heard it before.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess.On this our 240th episode our guest is Staff Sergeant Aquilino Gonell.Staff Sergeant Aquilino Gonell is a Dominican immigrant, former U.S. Army soldier and Iraq War veteran. For 17 years, he was a United States Capitol Police officer and was one of four police officers who testified before the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 insurrection. He’s been featured on ABC, CBS, CNN, Telemundo, Univision and NPR, and in The New York Times, The Washington Post and El Diario. He is a recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Citizens Medal.The book he co-wrote with Susan Shapiro, “American Shield: The Immigrant Sergeant Who Defended Democracy,” was published Nov. 7 by Counterpoint Press.A quick programming note: The interview section of this episode is about 40 minutes long, after which I'll come back to read a quick additional statement from Staff Sergeant Gonell. Then, for the last part of the episode, I'll be including Staff Sergeant Gonell's complete testimony before the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, which he delivered July 27, 2021.After our conversation, I asked Staff Sergeant Gonell if he had any additional statements he wanted me to include in the episode. This is what he sent me:“The book is not just about January 6. It’s about sacrifices and dedication to duty. I spent 23 years of my life as a public servant in the military and as a police officer, where I protected the country, at home and abroad, faithfully and honorably.

Located at 73 E. 4th St., our store is right in the heart of the East Village of Manhattan. We like to keep our prices low and our customers delighted. We buy, sell, trade and repair all vintage guitars, amps, keyboards and more. Our expert repair shop features quick, reasonable prices and reliable service. Since we opened in 1998, Rivington Guitars has come to be known as 'The Best Little Guitar Store in New York City,' and this is a reputation we have earned. Rivington Guitars specializes in vintage guitars, and we know vintage guitars. It’s what we do best. We have over 350 vintage guitars in stock at all times -- Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, Martin, Rickenbacker, Silvertone and Harmony as well as many other more unusual brands. Owner and proprietor Howie Statland is a featured survey participant for the 'Vintage Guitar Price Guide.' He is one of 25 select guitar dealers throughout the USA who helps determine the values set forth in the 'Vintage Guitar Price Guide.' He has been dealing guitars for over 20 years. A list of some of our satisfied clients include Paul Simon, The Killers, The Strokes, Courtney Love and Hole, Elvis Costello, Jeff Tweedy and Wilco, The Black Keys, Cults, Green Day, Arcade Fire, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Vampire Weekend, Motley Crue, Jonathan Richman, Mumford & Sons, J Mascis and Dinosaur Jr., the Smashing Pumpkins, Norah Jones, Peter Bjorn and John and many other local New York City working musicians. Our store began in 1998 on Rivington Street, hence our name, and expanded to a larger location on East 4th Street in 2008. We have since opened an acoustic store called Rivington Guitars Unplugged on the same street as our main store. Besides selling fine vintage guitars, we also offer guitar lessons at affordable rates, rental services and appraisal services. Our website is updated daily and all our inventory is on our website.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this our 199th episode our guest is Eugene Smith. Eugene Smith was born in 1957 in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Fresno, California. He was working in Georgetown, Guyana, for Peoples Temple on November 18, 1978, when he lost his mother, wife, and infant son in the mass murder-suicide at Jonestown. Repatriated by the U.S. authorities on New Year’s Eve, he broke a $50 bill stashed in his shoe to buy breakfast for himself and a fellow survivor. Returning to California at age 21, Smith faced the daunting challenge of building from scratch a meaningful and self-sufficient life in the American society he thought he had left behind. He retired in 2015 after 22 years’ service with the California Department of Transportation. He lives in the Bay Area. On May 11, 2021, Smith's book, “Back to the World: A Life After Jonestown,” was published by Texas Christian University Press. https://www.tamupress.com/book/9780875657783/back-to-the-world/ A quick programming note: As I mention in the episode, I was a reporter for the Ukiah Daily Journal from 2007 to 2009. During that time, I also had a chance to interview fellow Jonestown survivor, Tracy Diaz, formerly known as Tracy Parks. https://www.ukiahdailyjournal.com/2008/11/02/survivor-recalls-the-horror-of-jonestown-ukiahan-travels-back-to-guyana/ I also had a chance to interview Rebecca Moore for that story. Moore lost two sisters in Jonestown and now is now professor emerita of religious studies at San Diego State University. With her husband, Fielding McGehee III, she co-manages the website, Alternative Considerations of Jonestown and Peoples Temple. https://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=16580 Moore was instrumental in providing context for that 2008 article, and connecting me with Eugene Smith for this episode. https://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=17033 Thank you again. Anyone who is even remotely interested in the good, bad and otherwise of Peoples Temple is encouraged to visit their website. It is truly a valuable historical resource. https://jonestown.sdsu.edu/ Finally, I want to thank Tracy Diaz and Eugene Smith for taking the time to share their stories with me over the years.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess.
On this, our 193rd episode, our guest is Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div.
Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div., is a forensic psychiatrist and violence expert who was a fellow of the National Institute of Mental Health and faculty member at Yale School of Medicine for 17 years. Since 2002, she has served as consultant to the World Health Organization (WHO) and is now president of the World Mental Health Coalition. In addition to her clinical work in correctional and public-sector settings, she was director of research for the Center for the Study of Violence, founder and director of Yale’s Violence and Health Study Group, and project leader for an academic collaborators group for the WHO. She consulted with governments on violence prevention programming internationally and within the U.S., as well as helped with prison reform, including New York City’s once-notorious Rikers Island. She designed the Global Health Studies course, “Violence: Causes and Cures,” at Yale College, which led to her textbook, “Violence: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Causes, Consequences, and Cures” (Wiley-Blackwell, 2019). She published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles and chapters, 17 edited scholarly books and journal special issues, nearly 300 op-eds, and the New York Times bestseller, “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President” (Macmillan, 2017 and 2019). Her latest book is “Profile of a Nation: Trump’s Mind, America’s Soul” (World Mental Health Coalition, 2020).
A quick programming note:
Near the end of the episode, we allude to, but do not address directly, a complaint filed last month by Dr. Lee against Yale University.
For background, here is part of a Tuesday, March 23 story in The Yale Daily News which you can read here: https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2021/03/23/former-professor-says-yale-fired-her-over-tweet-on-trump-dershowitz/
“Bandy Lee MED ’94 DIV ’95, a formerly Yale-affiliated faculty member in the Department of Psychiatry in School of Medicine, filed a complaint against the University on Monday alleging 'unlawful termination… due to her exercise of free speech about the dangers of Donald Trump’s presidency.' University spokesperson Karen Peart declined to comment on the specifics of the case. Yale was the only named defendant. Lee’s complaint alleges that Yale fired her in response to a January 2020 tweet that characterized 'just about all' of former president Donald Trump’s supporters as suffering from “shared psychosis” and said that Alan Dershowitz, a lawyer on Trump’s legal team, had 'wholly taken on Trump’s symptoms by contagion.' Dershowitz responded to the tweet with a letter to Yale administrators, in which he complained that Lee’s tweet constituted 'a serious violation of the ethics rules of the American Psychiatric Association” and requested that she be disciplined. The legal action listed five causes, including breach of contract, breach of good faith and wrongful termination.”
The book by Alan Dershowitz I mention during this portion of the episode is titled, “Cancel Culture: The Latest Attack on Free Speech and Due Process,” and was published Nov. 17, 2020.
And the Netflix documentary featuring Dershowtiz that I also mentioned is titled, “Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich” and is available on Netflix.

A quick programming note: This is the first of three episodes which were recorded before the pandemic began and the Democratic presidential debates were still going.

Hello, and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host Rob Burgess. On this, our 139th episode, our guest is Andrea Chalupa. Here is her biography: “I was born and raised in Davis, California, and currently live in Brooklyn, New York. After graduating from the University of California, at Davis with High Honors in History, with a focus on Soviet History, I studied Ukrainian at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute and the International School of Ukrainian Studies in L’viv, Ukraine. As a journalist, I cut my teeth in the newsrooms of Conde Nast Portfolio and AOL Money & Finance, and have written articles and columns for The Daily Beast, Forbes, TIME, and The Atlantic. Since 2004, while finishing my History thesis on the role of religion in Ukraine’s independence movement at the fall of the Soviet Union, I began dreaming up a screenplay that would take me fifteen years to research, write, and produce. That screenplay became Mr. Jones, directed by three-time Academy Award-nominee Agnieszka Holland and starring James Norton, Vanessa Kirby, Peter Sarsgaard, and Joseph Mawle as George Orwell. Much of the research for the film was compiled into my book, Orwell and The Refugees: The Untold Story of Animal Farm, which has been taught in classrooms in Canada and Ukraine through the genocide education program Orwell Art. “When I was growing up in Northern California, my grandfather Olexji was the world to me. Born in Donbas, a region in eastern Ukraine currently being invaded by Russia, my grandfather witnessed the Russian Revolution fought on his family farm as a small boy; survived the Holodomor, Stalin’s genocide famine that killed an estimated 4 million to 7 million people; and as a young father was arrested and tortured by the Soviet secret police during Stalin’s purges. Shortly before he passed away at the age of 83, my grandfather wrote down his life story, showing the events Orwell allegorized in Animal Farm through the eyes of a survivor. “The history of Stalin’s genocide is told through this short documentary, Stalin’s Secret Genocide, which I was asked to write, direct, and produce for genocide education by the Holodomor Research and Education Consoritum at the University of Alberta. “As surreal as this journey has been against the backdrop of growing authoritarianism around the world, I met along the way brave human rights activists and journalists who continuously restored my faith. In January 2014, I helped launch #DigitalMaidan, a hashtag of the revolution in Ukraine; #MarchForTruth, a nationwide protest on June 3, 2017 demanding transparency and accountability in the Russia investigation, and helped lead a crowdfunding campaign to turn an oligarch’s abandoned private zoo in Ukraine into an animal refuge. “Over the years, I have spoken about Ukraine and Russia in the World Forum for Democracy at the Council of Europe, the Personal Democracy Forum at New York University, the National Press Club in Washington, DC, the National Arts Club in New York City, and went on a two-week university lecture tour of Canada, including McGill University, Carleton University, and the University of Toronto. “And yes, I have a sister, Alexandra Chalupa, called one of the most influential people of the 2016 election by the investigative journalist Michael Isikoff who, along with David Corn, the first journalist to publish an interview with Christopher Steele, features my sister in their bestselling book Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump. The first three episodes of Gaslit Nation, recapping the 2016 election like a crime scene, explain how my sister was harassed and risked her life and career to alert the media about Paul Manafort and the Kremlin’s attack on our democracy as it was happening.”

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 113th episode, our guest is Amy Siskind. Amy Siskind is a national spokesperson, writer and expert on helping women and girls advance and succeed. A former Wall Street executive, she’s President and Co-founder of The New Agenda, a national organization working on issues including economic independence and advancement, gender representation and bias, and campus sexual assault. Amy’s advocacy for equality now occurs alongside her mission as one of the most thorough and vocal observers of our failing-but-not-yet-failed democracy. In the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump’s election as president, Amy began compiling a list of actions taken by the Trump regime that pose a threat to our democratic norms. Under the headline “Experts in authoritarianism advise to keep a list of things subtly changing around you, so you’ll remember” Siskind’s “Weekly List” began as a project she shared with friends, containing less than 10 items, but it soon went viral, and now has more than half a million viewers and upwards of one hundred entries each week. Even as the The Weekly List grew in size, the themes remained consistent: Trump fanned the flames of hate, worked to silence dissent and intimidate the opposition, and alienated our world allies and cozied up to authoritarians. “The Weekly List” is now being archived by the Library of Congress. Compiled in one volume for the first time, “The List” is a first draft history and a comprehensive accounting of Donald Trump’s first year. Beginning with Trump’s acceptance of white supremacists the week after the election and concluding a year to the day later, we watch as Trump and his regime chips away at the rights and protections of marginalized communities, of women, of us all, via Twitter storms, unchecked executive action, and shifting rules and standards. When she’s not working on the lists, Amy spearheads The New Agenda’s annual events, and speaks on college campuses and to young professional women about economic empowerment and strategies for success. She serves on Cornell University’s highly prestigious President’s Council of Cornell Women and Cornell University Council, and was recently honored by the Westchester County Legislators for her LGBTQ advocacy. On Wall Street, Amy was a pioneer in the distressed debt trading market. She became the first female Managing Director at Wasserstein Perella at the age of 31, and later ran trading departments at Morgan Stanley and Imperial Capital, where she was also a partner. She received a BA in Economics from Cornell University and a MBA in Finance and International Business from the NYU Stern School of Business. Amy lives outside New York City with her children and famous dogs, Arleen and Shep (both named after her former Wall Street colleagues). Join The Rob Burgess Show mailing list!

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 94th episode, our guest is Tony Diaz.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 93rd episode, our guest is Jeff Weiss. Here is his biography: “Jeff Weiss is a writer from Los Angeles. He founded the blog Passion of the Weiss in late 2005 after a drunken revel led him to get tattoos of several blog bands named after animals. He does not regret the Wolf Parade one. “Other bullet points he feels compelled to hype in this space: He was the co-host of the Shots Fired podcast. He writes the Rolling on Dubs column for Pitchfork and, until recently, the Bizarre Ride column for LA Weekly. One time, he co-authored a book about Biggie and 2Pac. “Other random self-aggrandizement: He’s been anthologized multiple times in the Best American Music Writer series. Passion of the Weiss was named the LA Weekly’s Best Music Blog, 2013. He was named 'Big Kahuna' at High-Five Sports Camp — age 8.” You can find him on Twitter at www.twitter.com/passionweiss.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 88th episode, our guest is Carlos Dengler. You first heard Carlos Dengler on Episode 87 of the podcast. Carlos Dengler is a working actor and musician in New York City. He is currently working on his memoir detailing his time spent as bass player and keyboardist for the alt-rock group Interpol, from 1998 to 2010. After leaving the band, Carlos enrolled at Stella Adler Studio of Acting and then was fortunate to have been accepted to NYU Grad Acting, where he received his MFA in Acting in 2015. Since graduation, Carlos has been working in the theatre, creating and launching a successful one-man show called “Homo Sapiens Interruptus” for the NY International Fringe Festival of 2016, and cast in a recent production of “A Babylon Line” by the great playwright Richard Greenberg at Lincoln Center Theater featuring actor Josh Radnor in the lead. In early 2016, Carlos appeared briefly on “The Late Night with Seth Meyers” show, filling in on bass guitar with The 8G Band, the Seth Meyers house band. Carlos has also spent time crafting his approach to memoir writing. He was recently published by the literary magazine N+1 with an essay, “Stories of Excess.” He is currently finishing up the first stages of a publishing deal for his upcoming book, detailing his time in the band, his personal life and childhood, and his observations upon leaving behind life in the music industry. Carlos is an avid tweeter, with an unabashed progressive liberal swing to his thought, and is a lay but voracious consumer of current political thought.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 87th episode, our guest is Carlos Dengler. Here is his biography: “In 1998 I co-founded the band Interpol with Daniel Kessler and Paul Banks. Sam Fogarino joined in 2000, and over the next decade we went on to release four studio albums and tour the world three times, playing numerous festivals, live radio shows and late night TV. Interpol’s first two albums have gone Gold in the United States and the band is regarded as a seminal indie rock band of the early millennium. “In 2007, I began experiencing personal and creative differences with my bandmates and the music industry. In 2009, the band entered group therapy to try to find a way to resolve those differences. Despite our best collective efforts over the course of a year, we could not do so, and I wasn’t able to stay. I left the band just before New Year's Day 2010. “Actor training became my new focus. For the next five years I spent virtually all of my time within the privacy of conservatory classrooms, around other young students who were undergoing a similar process of discovery. In 2012, I was fortunate to be accepted to New York University Graduate Acting and received a Master of Fine Arts degree in the spring of 2015. “I made my professional acting debut in the summer of 2015 at the Dorset Theatre Festival, in the regional premiere of Katie Forgette's very funny 'Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily,' playing two roles – Professor Moriarty's lackey, John Smythe and chief attendant to Queen Victoria, Abdul Karim. “I’ve also begun working on an essayistic memoir. I’m quite excited by some of the directions the work is taking so far. I’ve started soliciting publishers. It’s very early in the process and I will continue to update as things progress. “In late March 2016 I had the honor of performing with the 8G Band, the house band on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers.' It truly was a special experience to play bass guitar with such incredible musicians on such a fun and exciting show. “I was very excited to have presented my solo show, 'Homo Sapiens Interruptus,' at The New York International Fringe Festival in August 2016. The show was created while I was at NYU and had been developing and workshopping it consistently since it began.” You can catch Carlos this week as he stars in “A Proust Sonata,” a “multimedia concert-theater work conceived and directed by Sarah Rothenberg, artistic and general director of Da Camera. The production is inspired by Marcel Proust's early 20th century masterpiece 'In Search of Lost Time' and interweaves text, music, and image into an innovative multi-media performance.” Performances start at 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Lois Chiles Studio Theater at the Moody Center for the Arts at Rice University, 6100 Main St., Houston, Texas.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 69th episode our guest is Erica Roman. I asked Erica to send me her biography and here’s what she sent me: “My name is Erica Roman. My life was forever changed on April 18, 2016 when my husband of 7 years and the love of my life died unexpectedly of an undetected heart condition, leaving me and our one year old daughter behind. A couple days after the funeral I discovered that I was pregnant with our son. I would have never imagined that I would end up a 27 year old, pregnant widow. As I process my own healing journey through writing, it is my heart to be able to encourage others in their own struggles and bring understanding to those who have hurting people in their lives.” You can read her blog at ericaroman.me.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 57th episode our guest is Rachel Dolezal. Rachel Dolezal holds an MFA from Howard University. Her scholarly research focus is the intersection of race, gender and class in the contemporary Black diaspora, with a specific emphasis on Black women in visual culture. She is a licensed intercultural competence and diversity trainer, dedicated to racial and social justice activism. She has worked as an instructor at North Idaho College and Eastern Washington University, where she also served as adviser for the schools’ Black Student Unions, and has guest lectured at Spokane Community College, the University of Idaho, Gonzaga University and Washington State University. Dolezal began her activism in Mississippi, where she advocated for equal rights and partnered with community developers, tutoring grade-school children in Black history and art and pioneering African American history courses at a predominantly white university. She is the former director of education at the Human Rights Education Institute in Idaho and has served as a consultant for human rights education and inclusivity in regional public schools. She recently led the Office of Police Ombudsman Commission to promote police accountability and justice in law enforcement in Spokane, Washington, and was the president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP. She is the devoted mother of three sons. Dolezal garnered international attention after a June 11, 2015 interview she conducted with Jeff Humphrey of KXLY-TV. The interview begins with Humphrey asking Dolezal about hate crimes she had reported to the police. It ends abruptly after he asks her about a photo on the Spokane chapter of the NAACP's Facebook page which shows an African American man, Albert Wilkerson, who she claimed was her father. It was later confirmed by Dolezal's birth parents, Larry and Ruthanne Dolezal, that she was born white. Dolezal subsequently resigned her position at the NAACP on June 15, 2015. The same day, she also lost her position as an instructor at Eastern Washington University and her position as a freelance writer for The Inlander. And, on June 18, 2015, the Spokane City Council voted unanimously to remove her from the Office of Police Ombudsman Commission. On March 28, Dolezal released the book she wrote along with Storms Reback, “In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World,” through BenBella Books. Wilkerson wrote the Foreword to the book. If you enjoy this podcast, there are several ways to support it. I have a Patreon account, which can be found at www.patreon.com/robburgessshowpatreon.

Jonathan graduated with a BA in history from Indiana University in 2006. He is an unabashed left-wing political junkie. He has lived and worked in South Korea for 10 years, trying to help the citizens of that great nation, hopefully, "talk pretty one day." A quick programming note: As you'll hear I was in rough shape health-wise when we recorded this episode, so I got a few minor facts wrong. The Senate race in Indiana between Democrat Joe Donnelly and Republican Richard Mourdock was in 2012 not 2010. The video of the passenger being ejected from a plane was a United flight not Delta. Also, after we recorded this episode, it was revealed that the USS Carl Vinson was actually headed away from the Korean Peninsula, not toward it. I'm sure Jonathan and I will discuss this at length during our next episode together. If you enjoy this podcast, there are several ways to support it.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 55th episode, our guest is Asia McClain Chapman. Asia McClain Chapman will be familiar to fans of the first season of the “Serial” podcast. If you haven’t listened to that yet, you should probably listen to it before you hear this episode. It will make a lot more sense. Last year, she released her book, “Confessions of a Serial Alibi,” which tells the story of her journey from ordinary library patron to a key alibi witness for Adnan Syed. In the book, McClain discusses everything from her memories of Woodlawn High School, to her conversations with several key individuals such as Adnan Syed, Rabia Chaudry, Justin Brown, Gary Proctor and former state's prosecutor Kevin Urick. Asia McClain Chapman was born on June 26, 1981, in Inglewood, California. Her parents, Carl and Michele McClain, were separated in 1986 resulting in her relocation to Baltimore, Maryland. After growing up in the Baltimore County school system, Asia graduated from Woodlawn High School in 1999 and proceeded to college. In search of a fresh start Asia made the decision to drive across the country in 2005. After several years of living in Portland, Oregon, and working full-time as a personal assistant, Asia met her now-husband Phillip Chapman in 2008. The couple married in 2009 and they are now the proud parents of three rambunctious little boys, Lucas, Alexander and Ethan Chapman. Located in Spokane, Washington, Asia spends her days as a stay-at-home mother, board secretary of Solutions Automation and small business owner of Diamond Concepts. In addition to her commitment to her businesses, Asia enjoys web-designing, writing, cooking, gardening and working with her hands in addition to participating in events with her local MOMS Club chapter and church.

On this, our 40th episode, our guest is “Freeway” Rick Ross. I should say at this point, if you haven’t heard it yet, go back and listen to Episode 25 with guest Marc Levin. This episode will make much more sense if you do so. I first interviewed Marc, and the subject of his documentary, “Freeway: Crack in the System,” “Freeway” Rick Ross, last year. The film premiered on Al Jazeera America and I was lucky enough to screen the film prior to its release. Here's the movie's trailer:
I first became aware of the story of “Freeway” Rick Ross in 2008 when it was revealed that not only was the rapper calling himself Rick Ross was actually named William Roberts, but Roberts had also been a correctional officer in Florida. I then went on to read the late Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb's seminal series, “Dark Alliance,” in which he connected the dots between Ross, who was being supplied with cocaine by Nicaraguans raising money for the Central Intelligence Agency -backed Contras through drug sales. (Webb's story was also told the Jeremy Renner-starring dramatic film “Kill the Messenger,” based on the book of the same name.) July 21, Levin's film, was nominated for an Emmy award in the Outstanding Investigative Journalism: Long Form category. According to the Oakland Tribune, “In the course of his rise, prosecutors estimate that Ross exported several tons of cocaine nationally, and made more than $600 million in the process. Counting inflation its $1.6 billion comparing 1986 to 2010.” Now, he has applied the passion that helped him build an empire to helping the youth, Ross has been given a second chance to uplift his community by giving back through mentoring and sharing his story. He plans to inspire many of today’s youths to achieve their greatest successes without following in his footsteps. Recognized as a pawn in the CIA drug game, Ross was a pioneer in the crack cocaine trade in Los Angeles, as well as other parts of the U.S. A renowned drug dealer, Ross harvested millions as an unknowing participant of CIA and Drug Enforcement Agency operatives, who provided him with unlimited amounts of cocaine. As a youth, Ross moved to South Central Los Angeles with his mother with the intent of playing tennis. He pursued a scholarship while attending high school. Unfortunately, his coach would later find out he was illiterate and removed him from the school. Ross then attended Los Angeles Trade Technical College and again pursued tennis, reaching the third spot on the team. Shortly after, at the early age of 19, Ross said a teacher, who taught at a job center, turned him on to cocaine. Because he looked up to him, Ross started selling cocaine for him. The money was good so he ended up starting his own business. His operation grew and he soon became one of the biggest cocaine dealers in South Central. During the height of his drug dealing, Ross was said to have made $2 million to $3 million a week. In 1996, he was sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of trying to purchase more than 100 kilograms of cocaine from a federal agent. Ross became the subject of controversy later that year when Webb’s “Dark Alliance” series brought to light a connection between one of Ross’s cocaine sources, Danilo Blandon, and the CIA as part of the Iran-Contra scandal. The decision in his case was brought to a federal court of appeals where his sentence was reduced to 20 years and then reduced further for being a model inmate. He was then moved to a halfway house in California in the spring of 2009 where he was released on Sept. 29, 2009. And now, onto the show

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this our 38th episode our guest is Robert Cohen. Robert Cohen is a community photojournalist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He can be found in schools, at parades, in restaurants and on baseball fields, or wherever a story about St. Louis and its people asks to be told. Cohen’s images of unrest following the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, were part of the 2015 Pulitzer Prize in Breaking News Photogra¬phy awarded to the photo staff. He has been a finalist for the prize twice – in 2010 for feature photography for a body of work about suburban homelessness, and in 2009 for breaking news reporting as a member of the team covering a city hall shooting. He has been named eight times as Regional Photographer of the Year by the National Press Photographer’s Association and is a member of the Scripps-Howard Editorial Hall of Fame. A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, he began his career at the tiny Sun-Tattler newspaper in Hollywood, Florida, now home to a Holiday Inn. I had the honor of meeting Robert on Saturday at the Indianapolis Marriott North during the 50th Annual Hoosier State Press Association Newsroom Seminar and Better Newspaper Contest Awards Luncheon. I attended his presentation, “Capturing Moments In Time When Time and Moments Are More Fleeting Than Ever,” which was described this way: “Today’s visual journalists are pulled in so many different directions, that our core mission of reaching readers with captured moments of time is eroding.

Marc Levin is an award winning independent filmmaker who brings narrative and verite techniques together in his feature films, television series and documentaries. Among the many honors for his work, he has won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, the Camera D'Or at Camera D'Or, three National Emmys and four duPont-Columbia Awards. He is the director of such feature films such as “Slam,” Whiteboyz” and “Brooklyn Babylon,” and documentary films such as “CIA: America's Secret Warriors,” “Protocols of Zion” and, most recently, “Class Divide.” He also directed the television series “Brick City” and “Chicagoland,” an episode of “The Blues,” titled “Godfathers and Sons”; and three episodes of “Law and Order.” I first interviewed Marc, and the subject of his documentary, “Freeway: Crack in the System,” “Freeway” Ricky Ross, last year. The film premiered on Al Jazeera America and I was lucky enough to screen the film prior to its release. I first became aware of the story of “Freeway” Ricky Ross in 2008 when it was revealed that not only was the rapper calling himself Rick Ross was actually named William Roberts, but Roberts had also been a correctional officer in Florida. I then went on to read the late Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb's seminal series, “Dark Alliance,” in which he connected the dots between Ross, who was being supplied with cocaine by Nicaraguans raising money for the CIA-backed Contras through drug sales. (Webb's story was also told the Jeremy Renner-starring dramatic film “Kill the Messenger,” based on the book of the same name.) July 21, Levin's film, “Freeway: Crack in the System,” was nominated for an Emmy award in the Outstanding Investigative Journalism: Long Form category. The winners will be announced during the awards ceremony Sept. 21 in New York City. And now, on to the show.

On July 31, Jonathan told me he knew a Korean woman who would be interested in being a guest. He said her name was Kim So-hee. She had been a member of his book club for a month. After I contacted her, this is the biographical paragraph she sent back: “I'm the person who is figuring out my life. I really don't have name that I wanna be called. But just for now, you can call me so hee because I haven't found right name for myself. I'm interested in my own mental health and my own happiness. If there's anything against it, I wouldn't join it or let it affects me. I have interests about self-love (or self-esteem), relationships, feminism and anything about minority (but only connected my own condition). I'm challenging or doing in my life things like acting, singing, dancing, sex education, meeting total strangers, sharing opinions, recognizing my own thoughts and feelings and organizing it through writing, finding out myself in diverse way, meeting a shrink and taking pills, being more intimate with who have cared about me (or cares) and solving my family issues on my own etc. I'm really interesting, attractive and sensitive person. I try to be more clear about myself and I know I'm in my progress. Therefore I support myself as best I can.” And now, on to the show.

Ten years ago he began a long walk which is chronicled in his new book, “Guerrilla Camping,” which is also being released today. You can find out more at his website, guerrillacamping.net. You can find the book on Amazon at tinyurl.com/h58q9ko.

You can find him on SoundCloud at soundcloud.com/djs4. And now, on to the show.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 19th episode, our guest is Bryn Greenwood. For you, the listeners of The Rob Burgess Show podcast, Audible is offering a free audiobook download with a free 30-day trial to give you the opportunity to check out their service. A book I would personally recommend that pertains to this episode is “All The Ugly And Wonderful Things” by today's guest Bryn Greenwood. This unabridged audiobook is over 11 hours long and is read by Jorjeana Marie. It is set to be released August 9. Whatever book you pick, you can exchange it at any time. You can cancel at any time and the books are yours to keep. To download your free audiobook today go to audibletrial.com/TheRobBurgessShow. The show's official website is www.therobburgessshow.com. You can also find out more about me by visiting my website, www.thisburgess.com. Back to today's show. Bryn Greenwood is a fourth-generation Kansan, one of seven sisters, and the daughter of a mostly reformed drug dealer. She earned a MA in Creative Writing and continues to work in academia as an administrator. Her novel “All the Ugly and Wonderful Things” is coming from St. Martin's Press in August. She is also the author of the small press novels “Last Will” and “Lie Lay Lain.” Her stories and essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Battered Suitcase, Kansas Quarterly, and Chiron Review. She lives in Lawrence, Kansas, where she is married to an extensive home remodeling project, and is raising a small herd of boxers and hairless cats. I first became aware of Bryn on Nov. 29, 2015, when she tweeted the following: “I worked at a #PlannedParenthood clinic in Kansas for 3 years. My coworkers & I were subjected to the following acts of terrorism: Gasoline was poured under our back door & ignited 4 times. Twice while the clinic was occupied, causing patients to be evacuated. Butyric acid (used as a stink bomb) was poured under our doors & into ventilation system so many times I lost count. Clinic evacuated. 2 cherry bombs were left on our doorstep after hours, causing damage & clinic closure. Imagine what it's like going to work after that. We received hundreds of phone calls, threatening to torch our clinic & to kill the "murdering whores" who worked there. 3 times someone drove by at night & shot out our windows. Picketers stood on the sidewalk & harassed employees as we swept up broken glass. Our clinic didn't perform abortions. We did well woman exams, pregnancy tests, dispensed birth control, & treated STIs. Our clinic offered free & low cost services in a low income neighborhood, but every day the "pro-life" movement tried to frighten us. The goal was to make us afraid to come to work, to make us quit, to make us close the clinic. That's terrorism. That's how terrorism works. Anyone who approves of harassing clinics is giving support to terrorism. #StandWithPP At the same time, I volunteered at Dr. George Tiller's abortion clinic. In 1993 he was shot by a "pro-lifer." He came to work the next day. Dr. Tiller kept coming to work after he was shot, because he was a caring man who knew how important his work was. In 2009, Dr. Tiller was murdered in his own church, again by a "pro-lifer." The goal was to scare other doctors who perform abortions. Abortions are still provided in Dr. Tiller's old clinic, because that's how you respond to terrorism. We can't let them win.” I then stumbled across her January 14 essay for The New York Times titled, “Why I Always Wanted to Be a Secretary,” which you should definitely read. You can find Bryn on her website at: www.bryngreenwood.com.

Back to today's show.
You first heard from Michael A. Wood Jr. on Episode 4 of the podcast. If you haven't heard that episode yet pause this episode and go back and listen to it.
Michael is a Baltimore-based police reform activist who, after spending a career in the United States Marine Corps and Baltimore Police Department, has torn down the blue wall of silence. He has become a vocal advocate of a new era of civilian-led policing. While completing his doctorate studies, Michael works as much as possible with grassroots activism on the streets of Baltimore, where his most valuable lessons were learned, and makes media and speaking appearances to further the discussion on police reform and the needs of the people.
You can find him on Facebook and Twitter. You can find his website at michaelawoodjr.net. He is also a speaker for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. Their website can be found at leap.cc Here's the GoFundMe page for Radio Revolver, the podcast network you'll hear Michael A. Wood Jr. discuss on today's episode: https://www.gofundme.com/RadioRevolver
A quick programming note: In 48 hours between when we recorded this on Wednesday and when it's dropping today, on Friday, the following news broke: Alton Sterling was killed by police on video in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Philando Castile was killed by police on video in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. Five police officers were killed and seven were injured by a shooter in Dallas, Texas. You won't hear Michael and I discuss any of these incidents in this episode, but rest assured, the next time he's on we'll get to all of them. Still, this conversation is very relevant.
And now, on to the show.

On that episode, I took advantage of a new program called The Swedish Number to call randomly selected Swedes for almost three hours. For more on this program, pause this episode and go back and listen to that episode. It had been an eventful 10 weeks since the last time I spoke to Sweden, and I decided to call back. I was shocked. I hadn't considered the fact that the window had closed. So, I decided to call the Swedish Tourist Association, who had introduced the Swedish Number in the first place. I found the phone number of Jenny Engström, their communications manager, and dialed it to find out what was going on. Two hours later, I called back. On a side note, I incorrectly told Jenny the previous Swedish episode was Episode 4 instead of Episode 6. And to my great shame I cited the wrong Bruce Willis movie. It was “The Fifth Element,” not “Die Hard.” My apologies.

Here is how Rick Friday describes himself on his website, fridaycartoons.com: “I grew up on a 300 acre farm in Southern Iowa during a period in which our nation was at war. Times may have been difficult, but Sis and I didn’t know it. The country life seemed to protect us from the world. We didn’t want for much and created our own entertainment. Soda pop was our reward for being good kids, so once in a while Sis and I would slide the pitcher of sweet tea aside and share a bottle of pop. My mother says that I began drawing cartoon characters on my toy box at age 4. A few years later, I started drawing cartoons and selling them to the kids on the school bus for nickels and dimes. When our farm chores were done Sis and I would walk two miles to town and spend the cartoon money on orange pop and Chick-O-Sticks. I had enough cartoon money for Sis and I to each have our own bottle of pop. I was an average student, however, there were times I was scolded for doodling on my homework. 'He needs to focus more!' my teachers would say. I was voted class clown by my peers and I turned down an art scholarship in 1978, I thought I would work and eventually farm. Under my picture it read: 'What are your future plans?' My answer was, 'Undecided.' I was successful with my plans, I am still 'Undecided.' My first cartoon was published in a local paper in 1993. I traded one cartoon per week for a subscription to the paper. Soon I was drawing for three papers and one magazine. The mailbox was always full of newspapers. In 1995, Farm News out of Fort Dodge, Iowa contacted me and offered me a position as their editorial cartoonist. They were delighted to find a farmer who could draw cartoons. Twenty-one years later, the publication cut me loose for offending Big AG Biz and once again I am drawing on toy boxes. I am optimistic and hope that someday I will be remembered as 'Author Unknown.'” You can view the cartoon that caused the stir on Rick's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/rick.friday.3. You can also follow him on Twitter at www.twitter.com/friday_rick. Finally, I'd like to extend an open invitation to Farm News and the seed dealer who was offended by Rick's cartoon. You're welcome to come on the podcast and give your sides of the story any time.

On this, our 14th episode, our guests are Brandon Chapman and Josh Sigler of the Sounding Off w/ Chap & Sig podcast. This is a milestone as it's the first episode recorded live with two guests.

A book I would personally recommend that pertains to this episode is the new Chuck Klosterman book, “But What If We're Wrong?: Thinking About the Present As If It Was the Past.” During this conversation you'll hear us allude to an essay adapted from this book that was published in GQ, “Chuck Klosterman Asks: Will Violence Save Football?” Whatever book you pick, you can exchange it at any time.

This is a companion piece to the four most recent episodes of the Sounding Off w/ Chap & Sig podcast. They gave shout outs on Episodes 19, 20 and 22, and were kind enough to have me as a guest on Episode 21. Brandon Chapman, “Chap,” was born, raised and currently resides in Peru, Indiana. He grew up a dedicated and die hard Hoosier basketball fan. He graduated from Peru High School and attended Manchester College for one year. In the one year, he finally found love. That is where he met his Hetero life partner, Sig. He currently is a senior at IUK pursuing a degree in communications. He plans to take over the world with his podcast so him and Sig can sit on an island and count their money. He is married (not to Sig) and has two dogs, Milo and Lucy. Josh Sigler, “Sig,” is a fairly accomplished dude who doesn't like to take himself very seriously. The Tipton, Indiana native graduated from Manchester University with a degree in Media Studies in 2006, and spent 10 years as a journalist before opting to leave the business for greener pastures. The multi-award-winning reporter was honored by the Hoosier State Press Association in 2015 as producing the top sports feature series, where he covered several angles of how concussion knowledge has evolved over time, the attitudes toward head trauma, and the viewpoints of local coaches, athletes, trainers and doctors on the subject. One final note, if you've ever listened to Sounding Off w/ Chap & Sig, you'll know the Parental Advisory label on their podcast is well-earned. As such, this episode contains explicit language. And now, on to the show.
Hello, and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 13th episode, our guest is Martin Shkreli. Shkreli, a former hedge fund manager and Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO, became internationally infamous in October 2015 when he purchased Daraprim, a drug used to treat toxoplasmosis. There is a good chance you already host toxoplasmosis, especially if you have a cat, but you may never know it. Only children, pregnant mothers and those with weakened immune systems are at risk for developing symptoms. But for those who do, the symptoms can be severe, even fatal. The medication used to treat patients, pyrimethamine, has been available since 1953. Shkreli inspired indignation when he upped the price of the drug by over 5,000 percent from $13.50 per pill to $750. Then, in December 2015, he was arrested by the FBI for securities fraud. He is currently out on bail. On Feb. 4, Shkreli testified before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the U.S. House of Representatives. You'll first hear Shkreli and Republican Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz and then Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy. The album you heard mentioned in another story entirely. Starting in 2008, rap group the Wu-Tang Clan spent five years recording an album only one person, one who couldn't legally profit from until 2103. In May 2015, Shkreli was the winner of an auction for the album, paying $2 million. Here's Wu-Tang Clan leader The RZA being interviewed by Jan. 6, by Bloomberg, who broke the story in December 2015. Later in January, Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah was asked about Shkreli by TMZ. He responded by calling him a shithead. A few days later, TMZ published a video response from Shkreli, who, stemless wine glass in hand, had three masked men placed behind him. During his Feb. 3 appearance on Power 105.1's “The Breakfast Club,” Shkreli added fuel to the fire. A few days later, Ghostface Killah issued a video response that doubled as a promotion for his CBD oil, Wu Goo. You get the idea. So, here's how I happened to speak with Shkreli. On May 27, Shkreli tweeted the following: “I haven't been called by the Trump camp. I support him vs. Hillary. He should find a VP candidate who is seasoned in politics, an ugly game.” The same day, Colin Daileda of Mashable published an article titled: “America's most hated man endorses its most hated presidential candidate.” On May 28, Shkreli published his phone number, 646-217-2783, on Twitter and asked people who hate him to call him to prove Daileda were wrong. From there, Shkreli and I tweeted back and forth and I dialed his number on a phone without a redial button I knew of for more than 30 minutes. Finally, I got through. I want to thank Josh Sigler and Brandon Chapman of the Sounding Off w/Chap & Sig podcast for the shout outs on their last two episodes. If you're into unfiltered sports talk, I highly suggest checking them out on on Facebook, Twitter, SoundCloud and iTunes.

Hello, and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 11th episode, our guest is Monica Stark. Monica grew up in San Jose, attended UC Berkeley and graduated in 2004 with a bachelor’s in English literature. At the time she didn’t think she had what it takes to be a journalist. Even then, journalism was a dying profession, and her parents advised against writing as a career — so she decided to enroll in the teaching credential program at Sacramento State. Big mistake! Monica truly loves what she does and can’t imagine doing anything else. She has been in the business for 12 years. As editor of Valley Community Newspapers in Sacramento, California, she has been editing the Land Park News, East Sacramento News, Pocket News and Arden-Carmichael News for 3-and-a-half years. Each of those papers is published twice a month. She is also the editor of the weekly West Sacramento News-Ledger and California Kids! All of these publications rely on community journalism.

Hello, and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our ninth episode, our guest is Benjamin Fowler. Fowler has been playing the drums since he was 12, and teaching since the age of 17. He graduated from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in 2008, with a bachelor's degree in jazz studies and percussion. At school he studied with Los Angeles studio stalwart Steve Houghton. He has also had lessons with veteran New Orleans drummer John Vidacovich, and studied regularly with Indianapolis jazz and gospel great Charleston “Deno” Sanders. Over the years, Fowler has played the drums in such bands as Community Currency, The Delicious (Joyful Noise Records), Kentucky Nightmare (Standard Recording), DM Stith (Asthmatic Kitty), and Cardboard. He is currently busy with The Jefferson Street Parade Band and Chainsaw Mondays. Along with the drum set, Fowler also teaches finger picking, rock and jazz guitar, and piano. At the Jefferson Street Music Studio, Fowler coordinates several teachers: They’re all currently active in Bloomington’s music community, and they teach a variety of instruments including trumpet, saxophone, keyboard, banjo, mandolin, vocals and more. Whatever you’d like to learn, the experts at JSMS can help! Ben is the founder of The Limestone Beaters. The group began in June 2012, as Bloomington’s only independent student drum line. In the summer 2014, Aaron Comforty joined as co-director, and the group blossomed into a full-on student brass band: They just recorded their first full length album at the end of April! The Jefferson Street Parade Band can be found on Facebook at www.facebook.com/jeffersonstparadeband.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our eighth episode, our guest is Melanie Samay. Melanie studied literature at Fordham University in the Bronx and received her Masters in English literature from San Francisco State University. Her thesis was on The Ground Beneath Her Feet by Salman Rushdie and how he creates a literary version of the history of rock & roll by writing his own version of the Orpheus myth. Other favorite authors are: Irvine Welsh, Vladimir Nabokov, Anne Rice, Bret Easton Ellis, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Arturo Perez-Reverte, J. K. Rowling, Charles Bukowski, Zadie Smith, and Chuck Palahniuk. She sometimes spends too much time reading; other times too little. Samay owns too many books but can't stop acquiring them. She's forever pro-physical books and anti-eReaders. She has a shy, skinny black boy cat named Hermione. She is a staunch defender of the serial comma. Currently she works in marketing for The Contemporary Jewish Museum. When she's not reading, she's walking around the city, sitting in parks with friends, and hanging around dark spaces at night listening to loud music.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our seventh episode, our guest is Mallory Willits. Mallory is a student at the Indiana University School of Social Work who is currently pursing her master's degree. Mallory has spent the past two years as a Beginning Social Worker at Fairbanks Substance Abuse Hospital and Adult and Child Mental Health Center. Mallory chose her journey in social work due to her natural ability to talk to people therapeutically and her love for helping others. She thoroughly believes in the power of traveling and lives by the saying, "Jobs fill your pocket, but adventures fill your soul." She has traveled quite a bit of the world, which gave her the opportunity to go to Ghana, where she met her husband, Wisdom. April 3, Mallory started a GoFundMe page titled, “Who said love doesn't cost a thing?” Here's her description: “As many of you know, and have been following, I fell in love with a man from another country and the immigration process is nothing short of a financial commitment. Wisdom is worth every penny, but between graduate school and a number of other financial commitments the money just doesn't flow in as quickly as the bills come in. It has been just shy of a year since I last saw the love of my life. My dream is to be able to afford another trip to Ghana after graduation as well as submitting the $1,600 for the next immigration [stage] as quickly as possible so that there is no lapse in the process. At this point, we can commit to one, but not the other due to finances. Immigration is our priority so that there will be permanency with being with one another, but we are hopeful to see each other again soon as well. Many people have individually reached out to me and asked how they can help. It was recommended that I get up a GoFundMe page to help with our journey. Please know that we do not expect you to donate, but that some people have requested a way for them to do so. Every penny helps and is deeply, wholeheartedly appreciated. Thank you for your unwavering support and consideration.” So far, 17 people have contributed a total of $600 of the $1,000 goal over the past 18 days.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our sixth episode, our guest is The Kingdom of Sweden. Sweden sits between Norway and Finland and is the third largest nation in the European Union by area. This Scandinavian country is home to nearly 10 million people. Allow me to explain: A week ago, I stumbled upon an article by Leslie Horn on Vocativ (later in the podcast I wrongly call it “Vo-active”) with the headline, “I Spent My Morning Calling Random Swedes (And They Loved It.)” Here are the first few paragraphs of that story: “I spent my morning in an an unexpected way: on the phone with several Swedish strangers. Thanks to the the Swedish Tourist Association, there is a phone number, called the Swedish Number, that will connect you with random Swedes. So I called it. It’s a little bit odd to hop on the phone with someone you’ve never met before. But that’s exactly the point. “Calling Sweden. Soon you will be connected with a random Swede,” is the automated message you hear when you dial the number. It’s either +46 771 793 336 internationally or 301-276-0600 for local rates if you’re calling from the U.S." I then visited the official website for the project, theswedishnumber.com, where I found this introduction: "250 years ago, in 1766, Sweden became the first country in the world to introduce a constitutional law to abolish censorship. To honour this anniversary, Sweden is now the first country in the world to introduce its own phone number. Call today and get connected to a random Swede, anywhere in Sweden and talk about anything you want.” According to the most current statistics on the website, more than 82,271 calls from 173 countries have come in since the line opened April 6, and callers have spent more than 161 days total on the phone, with two minutes and 50 seconds being the average call time. Almost a third of the calls are from America, while the United Kingdom, Turkey, The Netherlands, China, Australia and Russia round out the top seven calling countries. On a personal note, I want to thank all the Swedes who took the time to speak with with me. I would highly suggest calling The Swedish Number to anyone. You'll hear one of the Swedes ask if I have a YouTube channel, and at the time I said “no.” Since then I've started one, which you can like and subscribe to at: tinyurl.com/therobburgessshowyoutube.

On this, our fifth episode, our guest is Mat Alano-Martin. Mat is a stand-up comedian who comes to comedy from the world of rock 'n' roll, where he spent 10 years touring North America as a member of several unknown bands and as a tour manager for much more successful, well known bands. With a comedic style that bridges the social and political views of his indie-rock background with the attitude and sensibilities of his rural and blue collar youth, Alano-Martin has appeared at comedy clubs, theaters, punk rock dives, redneck roadhouses, casinos, colleges, living rooms and everywhere in between. Alano-Martin’s debut album “Profiled as Such” can be heard on the Sirius/XM Raw Dog comedy channel, and he has appeared on the nationally syndicated The Bob & Tom Show, Laughs on Fox TV and at several festivals and prominent showcases across the country. He is also the co-founder of the Limestone Comedy Festival, which runs from June 2 to 4, 2016 in Bloomington, Indiana, and the Arch City Comedy Festival, which runs from August 25 to 27, 2016 in Columbus, Ohio, and the host of the Strangers On This Road podcast. He has worked for Funny Business Agency, Comedy Zone, Tribble Run and many clubs around the country.

Wood Jr. Michael is a Baltimore-based police reform activist who, after spending a career in the United States Marine Corps and Baltimore Police Department, has torn down the blue wall of silence. He has become a vocal advocate of a new era of civilian-led policing. While completing his doctorate studies, Michael works as much as possible with grassroots activism on the streets of Baltimore, where his most valuable lessons were learned, and makes media and speaking appearances to further the discussion on police reform and the needs of the people. You can find him on Facebook and Twitter at michaelawoodjr. You can find his website at michaelawoodjr.net. He is also a speaker for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. Their website can be found at leap.cc. The first time I became aware of Michael was June 26, 2015. That day, he took to his Twitter account, and shared the following: “So here we go. I'm going to start tweeting the things I've seen and participated in, in policing that is corrupt, intentional or not: A detective slapping a completely innocent female in the face for bumping into him, coming out of a corner chicken store. Punting a handcuffed, face down suspect in the face, after a foot chase. My handcuffs, not my boot or suspect. Closed Circuit Television cameras turning as soon as a suspect is close to caught. [Defecating] inside suspects' homes during raids, on their beds and clothes. Swearing in court and [probable cause documents] that suspect dropped [a Controlled Dangerous Substance] during unbroken visual pursuit when neither was true. Jacking up and illegally searching thousands of people with no legal justification. Having other people write [probable cause] statements, who were never there because they could twist it into legality. Summonsing officers who weren't there so they could collect the overtime. Targeting 16- to 24-year-old black males essentially because we arrest them more, perpetuating the circle of arresting them more. If internal investigations were transparent, you would be able to see it all. The records are there. What's really hard to convey is that some things are so commonplace, they didn't register until I was on the other side. I'm one person relying on a flawed memory system. This is an indictment on the culture of the profession, not a witch-hunt. Sorry.”
A quick programming note: The first two minutes or so of this episode were severely damaged by a technical glitch on my end, rendering them of too poor quality to be broadcast. Here is a transcript of what Michael said to kick off the episode: “I am a Marine Corps veteran. I served 11 years in the police department in Baltimore until I was forced to retire from a line of duty injury. And with the movement growing post Michael Brown, the Black Lives Matter movement, I kept hearing a lot of defense of things that were completely indefensible for police to do. And I decided I was going to … talk about these things whether we wanted to talk about them or not or whether it was going to going to get me in trouble or not or whether it was breaking the code … this has to be addressed, and that got a lot of sensationalism.”
We'll pick it up right there. And now, on to the show...
On this, our third episode, our guest is Zack Sampsel. Zack is a proud graduate of Ball State University with a BA in Journalism. For the better part of a decade this Midwestcoaster has called Northern California his home with his wife of six years. During the day you can find him writing grants and managing the environmental programs for a tribe of Native Americans. The rest of the time he’s dangling modifiers and digging through the racks to bring you the latest in streetwear, music and pop culture news for Brotherhoodmag.com.
You can find him on Instagram, Twitter, Vine and Snapchat at neilyoungsvoice.

A quick programming note: Unlike the first two, the entirety of this particular episode is about a single topic; and that subject is Kanye West. The first 90 minutes are about his career from pre- "The College Dropout" until now. The remaining hour is about his new album, "The Life of Pablo," and beyond. Kanye is a rap artist, and, as such, this episode contains explicit language. If all that doesn't sound like anything you might be interested in, you have my permission to skip this episode. If, however, that does sound at all appealing, you are in for a treat. When "The Life of Pablo" was released last month, Zack was the first person I wanted to talk to, and after you hear this episode, I think you'll understand why.
On this, our second episode, our guest is Jonathan Fowler. Jonathan graduated with a BA in history from Indiana University in 2006. He is an unabashed left-wing political junkie. He has lived and worked in South Korea for over 9 years, trying to help the citizens of that great nation, hopefully, "talk pretty one day."

On this, the very first episode, our guest is Sean Spicer. Sean has traveled tens of thousands of miles by heel, thumbs, wheels and wit. By the time he was 30 years old, he had hiked the length of South Korea, hitchhiked across America and somehow along the way managed to serve with the 101st Airborne Division and study philosophy at U.C. Berkeley. Driven by an intense need to redefine the impossible as well as himself, he now resides in his home state of California and is slowly teaching his son how to road trip. Ten years ago today he began a long walk which is chronicled in his new book, “Guerrilla Camping,” which is also being released today. You can find out more at his website, www.guerrillacamping.net.
