Archetypes Affect Mental Health

They may seem small, but labels impact us in larger ways that take time and support to understand. If an Archetypes episode brought up a feeling that you're processing, now is a great time to ask for help. Archewell has partnered with Project Healthy Minds on a mental health resource guide that's an excellent place to start.

Archetypes Harm Gender Equity

Labeling someone pigeonholes them, and then ripples out to influence norms in communities, workplaces, and society - including equal treatment of genders. To confront this issue, Archewell has partnered with Equimundo's Global Boyhood Initiative on a guide for promoting gender equity by fostering positive masculinity in boys and men.

In 1773, Phillis Wheatley became the first person of African descent to publish a book of poems in the English language. It was yet another milestone in Wheatley's extraordinary life, which began with a childhood in Africa, a passage on a slave ship, twelve years in Boston living as a slave, and then her unprecedented education and emergence as a poet. She was lauded by Voltaire and Gibbon and Ben Franklin; she exchanged admiring letters with George Washington; and she exposed some of Thomas Jefferson's highest ideals and lowest shortcomings. Her appearance as a poet was so unlikely - and such a dangerous example for pro-slavery critics - that she eventually was put on trial to establish whether she truly wrote her poems. And yet, in spite of all these accomplishments and pioneering achievements, her legacy is a complicated one, as in the words of Henry Louis Gates, Jr., she wrote what has been the most reviled poem in African American literature.

How did this happen? And what does it tell us about Phillis Wheatley, her critics, her champions, and ourselves?

In early 1900, the paths of three British writers - Rudyard Kipling, Mary Kingsley, and Arthur Conan Doyle - crossed in South Africa, during what has become known as Britain's last imperial war. In this episode, Sarah LeFanu, author of the new book Something of Themselves: Kipling, Kingsley, Conan Doyle and the Anglo-Boer War, joins Jacke to talk about the experiences of these three writers. What did they expect? What did they find? And how did the experience change them as writers and people?

As the world deals with a pandemic, we turn to one of America's greatest (and least appreciated) writers, Katherine Anne Porter, and her masterpiece, Pale Horse, Pale Rider, a short novel that tells the story of Miranda, a newspaper woman who falls ill during the 1918 flu pandemic (also known as the "Spanish flu"), and the love of her life, Adam, a soldier who is headed off to the Great War.

"There are only three or four American novelists who can be thought of as 'major'," said Gore Vidal. "And Edith Wharton is one." In this episode, Jacke and Mike take a look at the life and works of Edith Wharton (1862-1937), author of The Age of Innocence and The House of Mirth, with a special deep dive into her short story "Roman Fever."

John Keats (1795-1821) was born in humble circumstances, the son of a man who took care of horses at a London inn, and he died in near obscurity. We know him today as onen of a handful of the greatest poets who ever lived.

Part Two of our look at John Keats discusses his impact on Jorge Luis Borges; his poems On First Reading Chapman's Homer; his passion for Shakespeare (including his invention of the concept of Negative Capability). Along the way we look at Shelley and Byron and their attitudes toward Keats; the savage reviews Keats received; his trip to Rome; his two great loves; his death; and what might be his greatest poem, "Ode to a Nightingale."

Matt Gallagher is an American writer who served in the Iraq War as a U.S. Army captain. He first became known for his blog, which was shut down by the military, and his subsequent war memoir Kaboom: Embracing the Suck in a Savage Little War. Since then he's received an MFA from Columbia University and published several books of fiction and essays, proving himself to be a thoughtful contributor to a subspecies of literature known as conflict literature.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian writer who - although she is only 42 - has established herself as one of the world's greatest authors. The Times Literary Supplement has called her the most prominent of a procession of critically acclaimed young anglophone authors who is succeeding in attracting a new generation of readers to African literature. She too, is a contributor to conflict literature, particularly in her book Half of a Yellow Sun, which tells the story of the Biafran War through the perspective of multiple characters, including a professor, a British citizen, and a Nigerian houseboy.

In this episode, Matt Gallagher joins us to discuss his experiences as a reader, writer, and soldier in Iraq; his first encounter with Adichie's masterwork Half of a Yellow Sun; and how his experience as a soldier informed his relationship with literature.

"Keats is with Shakespeare," wrote Matthew Arnold, and few would disagree. His life was short, but his poetry is deep and his legacy long enduring. Who was this man? How did he overcome his lowly origins and become one of the brightest stars in the poetic firmament? In this episode we take our first look at John Keats (1795-1821), including a deep analysis of his famous poem, "Ode on a Grecian Urn."

Agatha Christie is one of the most successful writers of all time - it's often said that sales of Christie's books are surpassed only by Shakespeare and the Bible. But who was Agatha Christie? What was she like before she became famous? And what exactly happened during those infamous two weeks, when she disappeared from view - perhaps suffering from amnesia, perhaps to spite her husband and his young lover, or perhaps even to frame him for the murder of his wife. In this episode of The History of Literature, Gillian Gill (author of Virginia Woolf and the Women Who Shaped Her World and Agatha Christie: The Woman and Her Mysteries) joins Jacke for a discussion of Agatha Christie's mysteries and her, well, mysteries.

Nathaniel Rateliff is a singer and songwriter from Colorado. He's released four solo albums, and two with his band, the Night Sweats.

Those two Night Sweats albums were produced by Richard Swift, who passed away in 2018. In a statement, his family said that he "suffered from alcohol addiction, and it's ultimately what took his life." Nathaniel Rateliff's new solo album, And It's Still Alright, was supposed to be produced by Richard Swift, as well, but Richard died before they could work together again. In this episode, Nathaniel breaks down the title track, which was inspired by his own complicated relationship with alcohol, and by his friendship with Richard Swift.

You can buy or stream "And It's Still Alright" here. You can also hear Richard Swift himself on Song Exploder, with his band The Arcs, in this episode from November 2015.

Eric Nam is a Korean-American pop singer from Atlanta. He currently lives in Seoul, South Korea, where he found fame as a K-pop star. He was named "2016 Man of the Year" by GQ Korea, and Forbes named him one of their "30 Under 30 Asia."

But his success in Korea has been complicated a little by what he wanted to do with his career versus what he felt he was allowed to do. As his career as an artist has evolved, he's gotten closer and closer to making the music he wants to make. In November 2019, Eric released Before We Begin, his first album entirely in English. In this episode, Eric Nam and producer Rabitt break down a song from that album called "Love Die Young."

You can buy or stream "Love Die Young" here.

Sophie Allison makes music under the name Soccer Mommy. Her debut album came out in 2018, when she was 20 years old, and the New York Times named it one of the best albums of the year. Her second album, Color Theory, comes out this week, and it includes this song, "Circle the Drain." In this episode, she takes "Circle the Drain" apart and explains how it was influenced by songs from her childhood.

Ancient Greece Declassified is a podcast about making the "Classics" accessible to everyone. Thanks to archaeology and modern scholarship, we now know more about the ancient world than we ever did before. However, the average person today doesn't have access to free, reliable, up-to-date information about ancient Greece. Unlike other fields, the Classics have remained largely confined to the ivory tower of academia. It's time to change that. The Classics shouldn't be just for people lucky enough to go to certain schools. Everyone should be able to know about the ideas and events that inspired the founders of this republic. Let's declassify the classics.

The host of the podcast, Lantern Jack, holds a PhD in ancient philosophy from Princeton University. When not reading old books, he loves to travel and to play music. Exploring ancient Greece combines both of these passions, since the past is a foreign country, and ancient Greece in particular is a musical place.

The music for this podcast is provided by the incomparable Jason Webley.

Just what is going on with white people? Police shootings of unarmed African Americans. Acts of domestic terrorism by white supremacists. The renewed embrace of raw, undisguised white-identity politics. Unending racial inequity in schools, housing, criminal justice, and hiring. Some of this feels new, but in truth it's an old story.

Why? Where did the notion of "whiteness" come from? What does it mean? What is whiteness for?

Scene on Radio host and producer John Biewen took a deep dive into these questions, along with an array of leading scholars and regular guest Dr. Chenjerai Kumanyika, in this fourteen-part documentary series, released between February and August 2017. The series editor is Loretta Williams.

In August of 1619, a ship carrying more than 20 enslaved Africans arrived in the English colony of Virginia. America was not yet America, but this was the moment it began. No aspect of the country that would be formed here has been untouched by the 250 years of slavery that followed. On the 400th anniversary of this fateful moment, it is time to tell the story.

A high-school senior named Hae Min Lee disappeared one day after school in 1999, in Baltimore County, Maryland. A month later, her body was found in a city park. She'd been strangled. Her 17-year-old ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was arrested for the crime, and within a year, he was sentenced to life in prison. The case against him was largely based on the story of one witness, Adnan's friend Jay, who testified that he helped Adnan bury Hae's body. But Adnan has always maintained he had nothing to do with Hae's death. Some people believe he's telling the truth. Many others don't.

Sarah Koenig sorted through thousands of documents, listened to trial testimony and police interrogations, and talked to everyone she could find who remembered what happened between Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee. She discovered that the trial covered up a far more complicated story than the jury - or the public - ever got to hear. The high school scene, the shifting statements to police, the prejudices, the sketchy alibis, the scant forensic evidence - all of it leads back to the most basic questions: How can you know a person's character? How can you tell what they're capable of? In Season One of Serial, she looks for answers.

Welcome to "Welcome to Night Vale", a twice-monthly fiction podcast from the town of Night Vale, where every conspiracy theory is true.

Want to jump into Night Vale but are a little freaked out by the fact that we have over 150 episodes, not to mention seven recorded live shows, two novels, and four script collections?

Don't be! You can start listening to Welcome to Night Vale with any episode, and you should feel free to skip around, or move backwards. Time is weird, so your listening experience can be, too.

Plus, the novels and live shows are completely standalone stories, so you can go read, watch, or listen to any of them without having to know anything about the show.

We also have a recap show called Good Morning Night Vale. Each episode is a deep dive into one episode of Welcome to Night Vale, starting with the very first episode from 2012. It's a great audio companion for a first time listener, and you can subscribe right here.

There is something special here

I feel it in every part of my body. I do not and cannot ever agree with J.K. Rowling's point of view.

I have lost something in recent years, that was found again in this podcast. I stopped listening to people that I did not agree with...as a form of self protection. This podcast was worth a listen.

Feels like PR for JKR

While this program suggests that it will add to the debate, this really comes off as a public relations stunt for JKR, perhaps to help get some heat off of the new Potter series that's Lin the works. It doesn't feel like it adds anything to the discourse on this topic. I didn't hear anything new on JKR's beliefs. It doesn't feel nearly as unbiased as it suggests or pretends it wants to be.

Thank you

Really glad JK Rowling did these interviews. I've always respected her perspectives and opinions, even if I've not agreed with everything, and that's the whole point. I appreciate this podcast taking that stance moving forward and interviewing opposing viewpoints, giving everyone the opportunity to share and be heard.

Thank you, JK Rowling, for being brave and speaking out at a time where there seemed to be only one mob voice. You spoke for so many who couldn't. Thank you for the amazing books who have gotten me through so many of life's losses and griefs. It was healing to hearing you share your experience here and I pray you continue to share. We still need you in this dark world.
