Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully inter ...

Ear Hustle is prison slang for eavesdropping, and that’s what listening to the show feels like: a raw, often funny, and always surprising peek into the reality of life inside prison. Hosts Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods co-created the show that launched in 2017 while Earlonne was incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison, where Nigel was a volunteer teaching photography. Since Earlonne’s release in 2018, the show has expanded to include stories from prisons across the state, including the Cali ...

SYNOPSIS
ED ACKER of Pan Am: Triumphs and Tragedies
Flying taxis, private space shots, aircraft powered by electricity, solar and even hydrogen. Aviation has witnessed swift and tumultuous developments from the heady days of the intrepid Wright brothers taking to the skies over North Carolina at the dawn of the 20th century.
As Covid and its variations, from Delta to Omicron, wreaks havoc on routes and companies and passenger numbers – commercial airlines have faced some of the most testing times in their chequered and quixotic histories.
John Swinfield, whose books include the history volume, ‘Airship: Design, Development & Disaster (published by Conway and the US Naval Institute Press, 2012) looks at the winds of change which are sweeping through civil aviation and recalls the time he spent in the United States with Ed Acker, the boss of the mighty Pan Am, the once illustrious and pioneering colossus of the industry.
