Facilitating A“We Live Here” Podcast Community Meeting with St. Louis Public Radio - This Thursday, October 10, 2024

Anyone that is going to be in the St. Louis area this Thursday can come to a set of small group discussions about racial, gender, and socio-economic issues that have long plagued the St. Louis area with the goal of making the region a better place.

I’m going to take part in this discussion by being one of the facilitators so that the station can record the thoughts and discussions of community members so that the station can be more informed about the state of where things stand in the region on these important topics.

Author Interview with Buzz Bissinger about “The Mosquito Bowl: A Game of Life and Death in World War II”

Pulitzer Prize winner and journalist for “The New York Times Magazine”, “Vanity Fair” and other publications, Buzz Bissinger has penned a true story profiling the lives of some of the Allied fighters in World War II and tells the story of a football game that took place before one of the bloodiest battles in the war. His book, “The Mosquito Bowl” is not a book about sports like his creation “Friday Night Lights”. Even though college football players, their backgrounds, and a Big Game played on Guadalcanal before the battle of Iwo Jima is part of the setting, this book is very much a profile of how the US entered and prosecuted WWII in the Pacific Ocean. In this interview, he talks with Rod Milam about the book and his research process.
