Anna Heyward's new memoir is 'Living with Freddie: How a Dog Taught Me to Be Human'

When Anna Hayward adopted Freddie, a rescued Italian greyhound, she expected the usual joys and challenges of bringing a dog home. Instead, she found herself living with an animal whose severe separation anxiety made it nearly impossible to leave him alone.

Hayward is a former staffer at 'The New Yorker,' and she has studied animal behavior and welfare science of the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine. Her memoir combines personal experience with the science of animal behavior and asks some fascinating questions about love, responsibility, and what we can truly know about another mind.

Based on true events, the drama takes audiences inside a newsroom confronting the changing economics of journalism, the rise of the internet, and the challenges facing local newspapers.It follows journalists pursuing stories ranging from the opioid epidemic to a Pulitzer Prize, while asking what happens to communities when local news disappears. Ken Tingley joins us this morning to talk about journalism, theater, and his transition from editor to playwright.

The 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire is remembered as one of the defining tragedies of American labor history, but historian and former journalist DavidConrad-Pérez argues there is another largely overlooked story in its aftermath.

WAMC on the Road at Crandell Theatre - Panel on Journalism and the film 'All the President's Men'

Few films have captured the work, responsibility, and power of investigative journalism as vividly as 'All the President's Men.' Released in 1976 and directed by Alan Pakula, the film stars Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, as Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, whose painstaking investigation of the Watergate break-in helped uncover a political scandal that ultimately led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.Based on Woodward and Bernstein's book, the film received eight Academy Award nominations, it won four Oscars. Fifty years later, it remains a landmark portrait of journalism, of cultivating sources, verifying facts, confronting powerful institutions, and following a story wherever it leads. The Library of Congress added the film to the National Film Registry in 2010.Last weekend WAMC and the Crandell Theatre in Chatham teamed up for a special screening of all the president's men, followed by a conversation about the film and the current state of journalism and investigative reporting. It was a full house, and our panel brought together four people with very different perspectives on the press, politics, and public life.

We were honored to have her on The Roundtable and The Book Show quite a few times over the years. This interview was actually recorded in NYC after midnight; it was so worth it!

The Yiddish Book Center presents 'Dust Bowls and Jewish Souls' on 9/6 with a Q&A and discussion with Steven Pressman

The name Woody Guthrie conjures images of Dust Bowl families from the 1930s fleeing their wind-ravaged farms, along with those famous lyrics 'This land is your land, this land is my land / From California to the New York Island.' Woody’s horizons extended far beyond the dusty Oklahoma hills of his youth. When his wanderings and ramblings brought him to New York City, in the 1940s, he was introduced—both personally and professionally—into a vibrant Jewish culture that he wholeheartedly embraced. That culture in turn deeply influenced his life and his music. The film, 'Dust Bowls and Jewish Souls,' presents a whole new side of Woody Guthrie.The film will be screened at the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, MA on Sunday. Following the screening, award-winning director and producer Steven Pressman will join us for a live Q&A to discuss the film, Guthrie's enduring legacy, and the remarkable Jewish influences that shaped his work.
