In the Summer of 1949, the United States government called on Jackie Robinson to testify in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee against famed actor and activist Paul Robeson, for his ties to the Communist Party. In defending his country, Jackie would be forced to attack a fellow prominent Black voice, fighting the same fight he was - the ultimate no-win situation. But with this platform, he made his voice louder than ever.

Authors Jonathan Eig and Michael G. Long join Bob Kendrick to tell the complex story of Jackie Robinson and his activism beyond the baseball field -  the one the history books largely ignore - with the voices of Buck O'Neil and Jackie Robinson.

What's up to my delightful daphnes and darling day lilies! Welcome back to the BNP friends and thank you for joining. 

This episode is a fun one friends, a real doozy dandy. There is a zany audio tidbit, naturally. For our meat n' potatoes, I do my best to weave together a complex tale constellating around the weird world of government mind control, re-programming and behavior management techniques, exotic pharma products designed to control soldiers, over-the-top electroshock therapy, Canadian MKUltra shrinks and modern day celebrity handlers.

I bring it all into the current moment by highlighting Hollywood celebrity "trainer" (see: handler) Harley Pasternak and his sketchy, intimate and deeply controlling relationship with Ye, as revealed by recently released text messages where Pasternak threatens to sent Ye "back to Zombieland forever."

Pasternak has "trained" many other celebrities (many of whom have suffered public meltdowns, including Brittany Murphy and Mac Miller, who both died under mysterious circumstances while working with Pasternak).

Also featured in this ep is an illuminating and thought-provoking chat with the fascinating and fabulous David Richards about life, traveling, and teaching English in Taiwan.

For the Outro reading we explore the mass psychosis and mass hallucinations that gripped the small French village of Pont-Saint-Espirit in 1951, and examine whether this was yet another CIA mind control with LSD experiment on innocent people (spoiler alert: it was).

As WWII ends the first superhero grows into a hero for more than his white audiences. After criticism Black characters were depicted as "ignorant, superstitious coloured people", Falk and The Phantom artists move to correct the racial caricatures of the early Phantom stories. Plus we dive into the impact first and second wave feminism has on the female characters of the strip, and the phenomenal global impact our purple-suited hero begins to have: with three countries in particular… Sweden, India… and Australia! And one of the most influential Phantom comic artists, now 92-year-old Seymour (Sy) Barry joins the podcast to blow your MIND with stories from this period of incredible change.

We celebrate Black History Month with the many “firsts” achieved by Fritz Pollard. Not only did Frederick Douglass Pollard come from a well-educated family, but he was perhaps the greatest early African American football player. In this episode, Fritz goes through early life in Chicago and plants a toe in nearly every Ivy League college before leading Brown University to the Rose Bowl and its greatest heights in 1916.

Professor Skinner Myers (the director of “The Sleeping Negro”) returns to The World Is Wrong podcast to take us to school on the topic of Black Cinema.

How is the world wrong about Black Cinema?

From Andras Jones: Skinner Myers draws a stark series of distinctions between Black Cinema and Black Hollywood that is far more nuanced than simply color coding the Oscars.

We pick up with Dr. Edwards’ recounting of the long history of athlete activism in the U.S., from baseball-playing Civil War soldiers to Colin Kaepernick’s kneeling during the anthem and beyond. He expounds upon the power--and inherent danger--of social media, and why it is an important protest tool. Dr. Edwards recalls his reaction to witnessing the black-glove salute at the 1968 Olympics that he inspired, and why he worried for the future of Australian sprinter Peter Norman. He weighs in on the recent Supreme Court decision striking down the NCAA’s ability to prevent athletes from cashing in on their name, image and likeness and on Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib coming out as the NFL’s first openly gay active player. Finally, Dr. Edwards tells Natalie why he’s optimistic about her generation’s ability to effect meaningful change during a tumultuous time.

An exuberant experience of conversation and singing. There are nearly 5,000 spirituals in existence. Their organizing concept is not the melody of Europe, but the rhythm of Africa. They were composed by slaves, bards whose names we will never know, and yet gave rise to gospel, jazz, blues, and hip-hop. Joe Carter lived and breathed the universal appeal and hidden stories, meanings, and hope in what were originally called “sorrow songs.” This was one of our first weekly shows, and it’s still one of our most beloved. This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode “Joe Carter — The Spirituals.” Find more at onbeing.org.

“Magic, shining songs.” Reaching back to the ancestors. How do we survive when the worst happens? Transcendence and code: “Steal Away,” “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” Music as a secret door. The roots of gospel, jazz, hip-hop, the blues.
