In 1991, Rabbi Secher and his wife, Ina Albert, founded Makom Shalom, Chicago's first Jewish Renewal congregation, melding traditional and holistic paths (mysticism, meditation, and gender equality) toward spiritual intimacy. Rabbi Secher is deeply committed to supporting interfaith couples and families, and has officiated and co-officiated more than 2,000 weddings and other interfaith life cycle ceremonies. For many years, he and Father John Cusick served as advisors to The Jewish/Catholic Dialogue Group of Chicago, and in 1993, the organization also founded the Chicago Interfaith Family School, which educates children and their parents in the traditions of Judaism and Christianity. Today Allen continues to serve as one of the rabbis of the Family School. We’ll hear Allen in conversation with David Kovacs. In 2019, David and I produced and directed the documentary Leaps of Faiths, an exploration of interfaith marriage and families.

The Myth of Left and Right: How the Political Spectrum Misleads and Harms America (STUDIES IN POSTWAR AMERICAN POLITICAL)

Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media

Today on the show we welcome Blake Minnerly, who is launching his own podcast show called, "Ambiology" which examines the political left/right spectrum in the United States from a historical perspective. Much of what we think is Left or Right politically actually has shifted over time - and this paradigm has become a significant stumbling block for citizens to view issues on a case-by-case basis that would allow for a substantive understanding of a given issue in a nuanced way. Instead, and consequently, this Left/right divide incentivizes people to lump issues together into a tribal identity, which creates a psychological barrier to useful and empowering insight on important matters. This ubiquitous and insidious paradigm conditions us in the U.S. to view political issues through a powerful filter, which oftentimes has us discount perspectives from the “bad” tribe without fully understanding the perspective in the first place.

This show will investigate the beginnings of Public Relations and propaganda with people such as Edward Bernays (the nephew of Sigmond Freud) who has been criticized for manipulating public opinion, often in ways that undermined individual autonomy and democratic values.

His best-known campaigns include a 1929 effort to promote female smoking by branding cigarettes as feminist "Torches of Freedom", and his work for the United Fruit Company in the 1950s, connected with the CIA-orchestrated overthrow of the democratically elected Guatemalan government in 1954.

And, Ivy “Leadbelly” Lee who preceded Bernays, who many historians credit him with originating modern crisis communications. He was retained by the Rockefellers in 1914, initially to represent Standard Oil, after the bloody repression of the coal mining strike in Colorado known as the Ludlow Massacre.”

Both Bernays and Lee were masters at shaping perspective on behalf of corporations and governments, appealing directly to the subconscious mind, often undetectable to the general public. Ambiology will reflect upon the writings and scholarship of people such as Noam Chomsky, who co-authored the book, “the Manufacturing of consent,” Marshall McLuhan who is known as the father of media studies, and most recently Hyrum and Verlan Lewis who wrote the book, “The myth of left and right: how the political spectrum misleads and harms America”

 [SO1]What type of influence?

 [SO2]Who is vilifying Black empowerment advocates? Probably good to specify here

 [SO3]Not sure if this is needed because it becomes somewhat repetitive. Maybe instead, a short bio on Dr. Watkins would be good!

 [SO4]Deleted keywords that appeared multiple times

 [SO5]The takeaways differ between complete and incomplete sentences. If you decide to use this part, I would try to keep it consistent by either having them all listed as incomplete sentences or listed as full sentences. I’m happy to do that for you if you’d like. Just wanted to know your thoughts before working on the sentence structure

 [SO6]Who vilifies them? The media?

 [SO7]Specify systems, or at least provide examples

 [SO8]I don’t think this wording makes sense out of context. Maybe delete this one or reword

 [SO9]Should this be specified to self-love?

 [SO10]This one feels redundant to me because I think similar statements already appeared

 [SO11]Not sure if this one works well out of context

 [SO12]I don’t know if this one works as a stand-alone quote because it’s a description/response

Below you'll find Dr. Panzer's philosophy, background, information about his clinic, the DPC model, as well as some insightful articles that were discussed in this episode - one of which Dr. Panzer co-authored.

" I love family medicine because it allows me to build meaningful relationships with patients and improve people’s lives. In a traditional doctor’s office, however, I was spending too much time on my computer and struggling with insurance companies and the confusing health care system. I didn’t have enough time to provide the care and attention that my patients needed. I knew there had to be a better way–and that is why I started Bridge Direct Care.

I believe that health care is not a product that is given to a patient. It is something that doctors and patients create together. This requires trusting long-term relationships and patient empowerment. Patients deserve to have their needs met quickly and respectfully by someone they know and trust. " 

Dr. Jeff Panzer is a family physician and has been practicing in Chicago since 2010. He attended Temple University School of Medicine and did his family medicine residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. He later received his Master’s degree in healthcare quality and patient safety from Northwestern University.  

Since graduating residency in 2009, Dr. Jeff has worked both caring for patients and at the system level to try to bring relationships back to the forefront of healthcare where they rightfully belong. He continues to work part-time as the vice president of care transformation for Tapestry 360 Health (a federally-qualified health center on the northside of Chicago) and the physician innovator at AllianceChicago. He previously served as a medical director at a health center in rural Ethiopia, and as a practice transformation consultant at the American Medical Association (AMA). He can provide patient care in English and Spanish. 

Outside of the office, Dr. Jeff enjoys spending time with his wife and three children, running, beach volleyball, reading, camping, and coaching his children’s sports teams.

A Different Way, Better Care

Bridge Direct Care provides family medicine services that put you first. Dr. Jeff and his team offer comprehensive primary care that is accessible, affordable, and personalized. By using a low-cost membership model, we can provide better care by building closer, stronger relationships with our patients and addressing health needs more quickly and effectively.

Today on the show host Steve Ordower welcomes his friend and colleague, journlist Stephan Garnett - who is wrapping up a long and distinguished carreer teaching at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. They discussed a myriad of issues, including the state of journalism today and the incentive structures that are influential in creating the current media landscape in the U.S. The conversation touched on how destructive the current media landscape is to fostering productive conversation, and those that put a good-faith effort forward to cultivate nuanced conversation are often-times vilified. They also touched on how certain words have become triggers in the public arena, such as "woke" or "PC," as well as the comedic brilliance of Dave Chappelle and the use of the N-word. And, Garnett discussed some of the remarkable projects he has worked on, as well as the journalists that have come through his classroom - which includes the late James Foley who was captured in 2012 and killed in 2014 while covering the Syrian civil war.

Stephan Garnett has a 30-year career as a journalist. In addition to working as a suburban and community reporter, he has been an investigative reporter for The Chicago Reporter, and an urban and police reporter for the City News Bureau of Chicago. He spent 14 years as a magazine feature writer and editor, first for ShopTalk, a trade publication, then as a contributing writer to Dollars & Sense and Blackbook magazines. More recently, Garnett has worked in radio, film and television. He has researched and consulted for documentaries produced by the BBC and CNN and has been an essayist for "Chicago Matters," an acclaimed local Public Radio community series. In 2005, Garnett executive produced and wrote and narrated the script for a 15-minute multi-media documentary on the last building left standing at Robert Taylor Homes, once the largest public housing project in the nation. Garnett teaches Journalism Methods for graduates and Media Convergence for undergraduates. He also edits for the Medill News Service and has served as an adviser for Medill's Global Journalism program.

This is part 2 of the interview host Bob Hercules conducted with the remarkably persistent and dedicated civil and human rights attorney Flint Taylor. Part 1 of this interview took a close look at the murder of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton, and the 13-year legal battle that ensued to successfully change the public narrative of how Hampton died. If you have not heard this part of the interview, which is episode 9 of this podcast, please give it a listen first. This part of the conversation transitioned to another one of Taylor’s landmark investigations that uncovered a systemic pattern of brutal torture in Chicago, which included the use of electric shock to elicit false confessions from subjects, led by the notorious police commander, Jon Burge.   

Joining forces with community activists, torture survivors, other lawyers, and local reporters, Taylor and his colleagues at the People’s Law Office brought a lawsuit against the offending CPD officers and the City of Chicago. As the struggle expanded beyond the torture scandal to the ultimately successful campaign to end the death penalty in Illinois, and obtained reparations for many of the torture survivors, it set human rights precedents that have since been adopted across the United States. Both parts of this interview are explored in Taylor’s ground-breaking book, The Torture Machine: Racism and Police Violence in Chicago, published by Haymarket Books.

Along with his partner, Jeff Haas, in the People’s Law Office, Flint Taylor takes us through the journey of how they uncovered and proved the truth about what happened to Fred Hampton and fellow Black Panther, Mark Clark. They were able to alter the public’s perception being put forth by Cook County State’s attorney Edward v. Hanrahan and other public officials that the Panthers were a terrorist organization and were the aggressors in this altercation. 

Even though the media reported this fabrication initially as the truth, these two remarkably persistent lawyers were able to shine a light on the orchestrated assassination of Fred Hampton which was part of a larger Counterintelligence program initiated by the FBI, aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, disrupting and neutralizing American political organizations and leaders deemed subversive.

Flint Taylor is an American human rights and civil rights attorney based in Chicago, Illinois, who has litigated many high-profile police brutality, government misconduct and death penalty cases. Taylor has pursued public interest law to take on allegations of corrupt police tactics and wrongful convictions in the city of Chicago and elsewhere. Taylor was part of a team of negotiators in the 2015 landmark decision by the City of Chicago to award reparations to the survivors of police torture, becoming the first municipal government to do so.

Hudson has been a fixture in film and television for decades, and he talks about some of his favorite roles on screen, where he honed his craft, as well as working with Ordower on the film, THE MAN IN THE SILO. We also get a glimpse into Hudson's personal philosophy that has guided him throughout his life.

Host Steve Ordower sat down with Rev. Jackson for a documentary interview about this vital piece of American Culture at Rainbow PUSH on the south-side of Chicago, the headquarters of an organization Rev. Jackson founded years ago that merged Operation PUSH (People United to Save Humanity), and the National Rainbow Coalition. The mission of this merged organization is to protect, defend, and gain civil rights by leveling the economic and educational playing fields, and to promote peace and justice around the world.

Before this, Rev. Jackson worked closely with Dr. King becoming a full-time organizer for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and was soon after appointed to direct the critically important Operation Breadbasket program. 

Over the past forty years, Rev. Jackson has played a pivotal role in virtually every movement for empowerment, peace, civil rights, gender equality, economic and social justice.

Since the mid-1980s, Langford has been one of the leaders in incorporating folk and country music into punk rock.

Love tests faith. Faith tests love. Interfaith marriage - how does that work? What about the in-laws? How to raise the kids? For 30 years, Catholics and Jews in Chicago have found that the answers don't have to be so hard - boundaries can be crossed - divisions healed. And the kids? We follow five who grew up learning both Judaism and Catholicism from 8th grade through high school, college and beyond. Their families imagined possibilities - and discovered them.

LEAPS OF FAITHS is about interfaith (Jewish-Catholic) marriage, with implications for other kinds of intercultural families. In the film, love is tested by faith, and faith is tested by love. A Jew and a Catholic may have grown up looking at the other faith as ‘over there’ or ‘the other’ … but when they fall in love, that’s no longer possible. Now they’re family, and that’s when things get really interesting. 80% of Reform Jews who got married in the last 5 years intermarried, and a majority of American Jews today are partnered with someone of a different cultural or religious background. In a world that can seem increasingly polarized and tribal, interfaith families are crossing borders.

"Though it focuses exclusively on Catholic-Jewish unions, it totes the universal message that religion need not divide people... What they are doing, basically and effectively, is giving us a series of love stories between men and women, parents and children, people and their God. It’s uplifting."

The Chicago Tribune

 "The film is split into three main parts and is upfront about its outcomes, which is to explore how families make the choice about which religion to raise their children in and how their children look back at their lives as they’ve grown... Several different professionals in each faith are interviewed and provide different perspectives on the issues, as well as the children who grew up in interfaith families. Their interviews are the most impactful as they provide the most powerful insight into how this impacts families and that it is possible to raise children among two faiths... The concepts of the film can be taken across different cultures and types of interfaith marriages. I recommend this film for middle school, high school, and college audiences as well as school, public, and academic library collections."
