Helen Spence's Fight for River Justice in the Arkansas Delta (repost)
As we wade through the waters of historical intrigue and cultural legacy, Denise Parkinson joins us to share the stirring story of Helen Spence, an emblematic figure from the Arkansas Delta of the 1930s. Amidst the ebb and flow of the White River, we uncover the essence of the houseboat communities, reflecting on the robust and resilient spirit that has weathered through displacement, government intervention, and the persistent currents of social justice. The life of Helen Spence, etched against this dynamic backdrop, emerges not just as a tale of personal vendetta but as a broader narrative of the cultural divide within Arkansas, spotlighting the hushed stories of river communities and their unintentional brush with legendary outlaws.The episode takes an unexpected turn into a courtroom drama, tinged with the humor of a stuck gun in a tense situation, as we trace Helen Spence's journey from her infamous act of revenge to her somber stints in prison. Your heart might race as we recount her escapes, shaped by her riverine upbringing, and the dark shadow of a 1930s trafficking plot. Denise's personal anecdotes and a deep-dive into the Spence saga reveal how regional history is often a complex tapestry of human strength and the darker facets of human society, including the exploitation and marginalization of women like Helen.Lastly, the episode casts a critical gaze on the contemporary struggles within the film industry, highlighting my own experiences trying to illuminate Arkansas history through the lens of documentary filmmaking. Despite the challenges posed by gatekeeping and media blackouts, the conversation is imbued with determination and the hope that alternative pathways can shine a light on the rich narratives that course through the heart of the Arkansas Delta. Join us for this enthralling exploration, where the undulating tales of the past ripple into the present, and the echoes of justice and recognition resonate through time. Andrea and I need your help!

An outspoken proponent for home births, he maintains a c-section rate of less than 5%, a testament to his dedication to natural birth processes and a figure that ranks among the best in the U.S.Dr. Riley sees birth as not merely a medical event but a sacred process and a spiritual transformation for new parents. He tirelessly empowers women to give birth on their terms, using nature as a guide. In addition, he encourages fathers to engage deeply with the birthing process, transforming the journey of pregnancy and birth from a stigmatized event into a magical rite of passage.A father of two (the second of whom was born at home) and happily married to his high school sweetheart, Dr. Riley also finds joy in simple pleasures - strolling in the woods, cracking Dad jokes, painting, and sharing cups of coffee with unique individuals.

Television, Sexism, and Fake News: Anne Montgomery
This is Paul G. I wanted to take a moment at the beginning of this Episode and bring to your attention something Andrea and I feel is extremely important. Neither Andrea nor I support or recommend on this podcast any political ideology. We both have conservative, liberal, and centrist friends that we value very much. No matter what, we support the right of every human being to believe in and practice any religion or philosophy. The only thing we ask of you, our listeners, is that you keep an open mind to all possibilities, no matter how profoundly opposite your own held beliefs may be. The only way to learn is to let go of bias and preconceived notions. The world is full of dangers; learning should not be one of them. Anne Butler Montgomery has worked as a television sportscaster, newspaper and magazine writer, teacher, author, and amateur sports official. Her first TV job came at WRBL-TV in Columbus, Georgia. It led to positions at WROC-TV in Rochester, New York, KTSP-TV in Phoenix, Arizona, and ESPN in Bristol, Connecticut, where she anchored the Emmy and ACE award-winning SportsCenter. She finished her on-camera broadcasting career with a two-year stint as the studio host for the NBA’s Phoenix Suns. Montgomery was a freelance and/or staff reporter for six publications, writing sports, features, movie reviews, and archeological pieces. Her novels include The Castle, A Light in the Desert, Wild Horses on the Salt, The Scent of Rain, and Wolf Catcher. Montgomery taught sports reporting at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and taught high school journalism for 20 years.
