This week we're featuring a story from a brand new audio magazine we've been listening to called <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/signal-hill/id1793765332">Signal Hill</a>. "Pie Down Here" features oral history interviews with farmworkers and Communist Party members who organized a sharecroppers' union in Alabama during the Great Depression. The interviews were recorded by historian <a href="https://history.ucla.edu/person/robin-d-g-kelley/">Robin Kelley</a> for his book, <a href="https://uncpress.org/book/9781469625485/hammer-and-hoe/">Hammer and Hoe</a>. You can learn more about Signal Hill and check out the rest of their first issue—eight original stories—at <a href="https://www.signalhill.fm/issue-one/#letter-from-the-editors">signalhill.fm</a>.

In 1939, Time Magazine called Dorothy Thompson a woman who “thinks, talks and sleeps world problems — and scares men half to death.” They weren’t wrong. Thompson was a foreign correspondent in Germany in the years leading up to World War 2, and she broadcast to millions of listeners around the world. She became known for her bold commentaries on the rise of Hitler. The Nazis even created a “Dorothy Thompson Emergency Squad” to monitor her work. She was an eloquent and opinionated advocate for the principles of democracy. But by the end of the war, those strong opinions put her career in jeopardy. This is the story of the woman who tried to warn the world.

These days, we’re used to media that thrives on conflict and amplifies the most outrageous voices in the room. It's something we often trace back to shock jocks, like Howard Stern, and in-your-face talk show hosts like Tucker Carlson and Rush Limbaugh. But before all those guys, there was Joe Pyne. At the height of his career in the 1960s, the New York Times called him “The ranking nuisance of broadcasting.” Today, episode two of our series Making Waves: The Original Angry Talker.
