    A Spectacular Inheritance From Author Margaret Eastman Smith Was It The Birth Of AA

    What is “MORAL RE-ARMAMENT” (MRA) and some of the examples of life inside?A life that unfolds across the U.S., Europe, and beyond, Smith was born into the world of MRA, and it shaped every aspect of her early life, with her parents traveling the globe and leaving her in the care of others in communal living arrangements. Until her mid-30’s, she lived within this orbit. MRA had noble goals: it sought to transform the world by appealing to Christian principles and shared humanity, presenting reconciliation as natural and attainable.Drawing on vivid memories of her unconventional upbringing, Eastman Smith traces her gradual awakening to a self beyond the movement—a college education, a career in academia, a love interest, a partner of her own. As she begins to step away, she confronts the core belief system that has defined her. Leaving such an all-encompassing culture proves both liberating and destabilizing—an experience that is as enriching as it is disorienting, and not one that guarantees firm footing.Though MRA played a role in postwar Franco-German reconciliation, and other peacebuilding endeavors, it has also faced criticism over the years, including from actress Glenn Close. In Smith’s telling, her story becomes more than a portrait of the movement—it is a deeply personal meditation on identity, forgiveness, and the enduring question of what it means to love.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

    Science Nonfiction Behind The Scenes Of University Research With Dr Darren J Lipomi

    Every year, the United States invests roughly $60 billion — not quite one percent of the entire federal budget — in university research. Most Americans will never know how that money is spent, who bears the risk when discoveries fail, or what life looks like inside the laboratories where the future is being made. In Science Nonfiction: Behind The Scenes in University Research (Buckland Creek Press: June 1, 2026), scientist and educator Darren J. Lipomi, PhD, draws on two decades of experience inside elite academic institutions — including Harvard and Stanford — to offer a candid account of how American university research really functions. Part memoir, part institutional critique, and part call to action, Science Nonfiction is an insider’s guide to one of America’s most consequential — and least understood — public endeavors. From the exhilarating moments of genuine discovery to the systemic absurdities that slow science down, Lipomi maps the full terrain of a world few are permitted to see. It is essential reading for every citizen who pays taxes and wonders what happens next with that investment as well as for scientists, policymakers and students. Through the lens of his own career trajectory — from modest beginnings to the country’s most prestigious research universities to academic leadership — Lipomi examines how incentives, power dynamics, and institutional politics shape what science gets done, who gets credit, and which ideas are allowed to flourish.
