Steven Beschloss

Frank Schaeffer In Conversation with award-winning writer, journalist and filmmaker Steven Beschloss, exploring the themes of his work and America's fear of the future._____LINKShttps://america.substack.comhttps://twitter.com/StevenBeschloss_____My professional bonafides include journalistic contributions to dozens of media outlets—The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The New Republic, Smithsonian and The Economist Intelligence Unit, among many others. I have been based in New York and Los Angeles and Pittsburgh and Norfolk, Virginia, as well as London, Helsinki and Moscow. I co-authored the book Adrift, which sought to depict the troubles facing the US since WWII and how to fix them, and authored The Gunman and His Mother, to capture Lee Harvey Oswald’s troubled family life and explain the downward spiral that led him to Dealey Plaza in Dallas. I also spent a decade focused on filmmaking, writing and producing fiction and nonfiction films for European television and the US. In all of this, including recent years working at a university teaching and producing media projects in multiple forms, I have sought to make sense of a world that too often defies logic and reason._____I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.  Thanks!

K. Allison Hammer

Frank Schaeffer In Conversation with K. Allison Hammer, Ph.D., exploring their work as a multi-disciplinary, cross-genre scholar, artist, and cultural critic, and the themes in their forthcoming book, Masculinity in Transition._____LINKShttps://www.kallisonhammer.comBOOKMasculinity In Transition_____I am a multi-disciplinary, cross-genre scholar, artist, and cultural critic. In my critical work, I discover new connections between historical time periods and reveal the trace of the past in the present. My work brings together diverse archives of cultural objects, including 19th, 20th, and 21st century American literatures, film, media, and performance. I put into conversation texts which are not normally viewed as visually or conceptually interrelated. In my artistic practice, I use a wide range of media to bring forward the complexities of identity discovery and subject formation. I describe my work as “serious play”—I love to “get messy” in everything I do. My monograph, Masculinity in Transition, is currently available for pre-order at University of Minnesota Press._____I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.  Thanks!
