From The Kitchen Sisters | Part of the Lost & Found Sound series | 22:35

At the turn of the century until the 1930s in the cigar factories of Tampa and Ybor City, a well dressed man in a panama hat with a loud and beautiful voice sat atop a platform and read to the cigar workers as they rolled.

Default-piece-image-1 At the turn of the century until the 1930s in the cigar factories of Tampa and Ybor City, a well dressed man in a panama hat with a loud and beautiful voice sat atop a platform and read to the cigar workers as they rolled. These readers, known as Lectores de Tabaqueres, read Cervantes, Zola, Victor Hugo, Karl Marx, Jules Verne... It was the voices and words of these lectores - before radio and mechanization, who informed, organized, and incited the cigar workers, who labored by hand 'til the 1930s, when both the rollers and readers were replaced by mechanization. A lost tradition of story and smoke.

Hitler's Jewish Clairvoyant

From Mimi Geerges | 27:59

An author interview with Arthur Magida on "The Nazi Séance: The Strange Story of the Jewish Psychic in Hitler's Circle"

Mimi-pos_small

In the wake of World War I, in Berlin, fascination with the occult was everywhere – in private séances, personalized psychic readings, communions with the dead – as people struggled to escape the grim reality of their lives. In the early 1930s, the most famous mentalist in the German capital was Erik Jan Hanussen, a Jewish mind reader who became so popular in Berlin that he rubbed elbows with high ranking Nazis, became close with top Storm Troopers, and even advised Hitler. Author and journalist Arthur Magida, The Nazi Séance: The Strange Story of the Jewish Psychic in Hitler's Circle describes the unlikely rise and fall Hitler's Jewish clairvoyant.

"Hanussen was not the only one who was very mistaken about the Nazis. There were a number of Jews who thought that, 'Oh, this is a country in immense trouble, maybe the Nazis are the temporary answer to our problems, we will let them assume power'."

Why modern archaeologists forsake digging in the dirt in favor of a satellite view, and how we might track extraterrestrials from the trash they leave behind.

Spacearchaeologymed_small

Indiana Jones meets Star Trek in the field of space archaeology. Satellites scan ancient ruins so that scientists can map them without disturbing one grain of sand. Discover how some archaeologists forsake their spades and brushes in favor of examining historic sites from hundreds of miles high.

Also, if you were to hunt for alien artifacts – what would you look for? Why ET might choose to send snail mail rather than a radio signal.

Plus, the culture of the hardware we send into space, and roaming the Earth, the moon, and Mars the Google way.

Guests:

   Alice Gorman – Archaeologist at Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia

   Christopher Rose – Professor of Computer and Intellectual Engineering, Rutgers University, New Jersey

NASA or What?

From Big Picture Science | Part of the Big Picture Science series | 54:01

NASA in motion: the GRAIL mission takes us back to the moon, and – can you dig it? The rover Curiosity can. It’ll hunt for evidence of Martian life … with a jackhammer. Plus, private space rockeeters – competition or complementary?

Nasaorwhatweb_small "Making space for everyone” could be NASA’s motto. But as commercial spaceships get ready to blast off, that populist idea is being tested. Space cowboys in the private sector say they’re the ones who can provide unfettered access to space, for tourists and scientists alike.

Meet a scientist who already has a ticket to ride on SpaceShip Two and discover what he hopes to learn about asteroids during his five minutes of weightlessness.

Plus, NASA in motion: it’s back to the moon as the GRAIL mission probes the interior of our lovely lunar satellite. Also, can you dig it? The rover Curiosity can. It’s headed to Mars to hunt for clues to alien life … with a jackhammer.

Also, as the Hubble Space Telescope shuts down, the James Webb Space Telescope revs up. Or does it? The telescope is designed to study the birth of galaxies and hunt for evidence of water on far away worlds. But will Congress pull the plug?

Guests:

  James Oberg – former Space Shuttle Mission Control engineer, and space expert

  Maria Zuber – Planetary scientist, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Principal Investigator of NASA’s GRAIL mission

  Joy Crisp – Geologist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Principal Investigator on the Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity

  Massimo Stiavelli – Astronomer at the Space Science Telescope Institute, and Project Scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope

Italian Artisans: Shuttered Workshops in the Renaissance’s Birthplace

From Nancy Greenleese | Part of the Made In Italy...For Now series | 07:37

Italian artisans craft exquisite objects with their hands, particularly in Florence. Yet aging artisans crippled by Italy’s bureaucracy aren’t able to train the next generation. An artistic tradition predating Michelangelo could die out.

Mani_small

Aging Italian artisans are regretfully closing their shops in Florence.  The artistic ancestors of the Renaissance’s Old Masters aren’t able to find capable hands to continue their work.   Soon no one will know how to craft these unique objects made from metal, leather, marble or wood.  Italy’s onerous bureaucracy is preventing the artisans from training apprentices.  However, a U.S. company has a fresh idea that could rekindle the tradition.
