In this 88th episode of Philosophy Bakes Bread, “School Was Our Life,” Dr. Jane Roland Martin, author of School Was Our Life (2018), joins Eric Thomas Weber and Anthony Cashio to talk about progressive education.

Dr. Jane Roland Martin is professor Emerita of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts Boston. She has published many books on philosophy, education, and gender and received a Guggenheim Award. Her most recent book is titled School Was Our Life, published in 2018 with Indiana University Press. Thank you for joining us today, Jane! Eric’s colleague, Dr. Beth Goldstein, in Educational Policy Studies and Evaluation at the University of Kentucky, called his attention to Martin’s 1991 essay titled “The Contradiction and the Challenge of the Educated Woman,” which inspired him and Anthony to reach out to Dr. Martin, who is an authority in the philosophy of education.

In this 86th episode of Philosophy Bakes Bread, called “French Toast Episode,” Eric Thomas Weber and Anthony Cashio return to some tasty bread morsels from past episodes, voicemails, and recordings, moistening them with some egg, sugar, and cinnamon for a tasty treat.

In the first segment, we revisit a number of voicemails that we hadn’t had a chance to respond to in past episodes. Then, in segments two and three, we return to some material we recorded on the Upper West Branch of the Penobscott River in Maine, on a Philosophy Bakes Bread trip we took with Apeiron Expeditions. Our friends in the conversations were Seth Walton, Ben Vockley, and Alex Strong. Alex was our main guide and is the owner of Apeiron Expeditions. The three of them were our guests in Episode 75 of the show, titled “Outdoor Education.” And, Alex was our guest earlier in Episode 57, “Philosophy Outdoors.” Then, in the final segment of this episode, Anthony and I think back on our second year hosting the show, 2018. We list a bunch of our favorite episodes of the year. Give a listen and check out those episodes!

In this 80th episode of Philosophy Bakes Bread and our 14th "breadcrumb" episode, Eric Thomas Weber and Anthony Cashio invite Dr. Erin Tarver back on the show to talk with us about a great listener voicemail that we received from Julia from New Hampshire. We call this breadcrumb episode "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Sports Fandom."

Erin was our guest in episode 31 of the show, titled "Sports Fan I Am." She is the author of The I in Team: Sports Fandom and the Reproduction of Identity. In that episode, she raised the following question for our listeners near the end of the episode: “Should colleges and universities even be in the business of organizing ‘minor league’ sports teams?” In her voicemail, Julia responded that although she is a sports fan and was an athlete in college, her feminism raises concerns for her about the adversarial quality of sports competitions, among other concerns. Erin offers us a rich response.

This forty-second episode of the Philosophy Bakes Bread radio show and podcast is a second “breadcrumb” episode with Dr. Larry A. Hickman, who was our featured guest in Episode 40. In that episode, Larry spoke about democracy and education in the United States today. While he was with us, we asked him to comment on a question that we received from a listener earlier this year. Larry, Anthony, and Eric each live or have lived in states that are sometimes prejudged and stigmatized for characteristics you might call "redneck," being significantly rural and agricultural. Jason Fultz had called a few weeks before and asked us to comment on what one can do to overcome stigma for your state. So, we played his question and asked Larry what he thought. Then, we all thought about it and a few answers emerged that may prove helpful for "Overcoming Redneck State Stigma."

We especially want to thank Jason for calling in and leaving us a great voicemail and question. Of course, we're grateful to Larry also, who is the former Director of the Center for Dewey Studies at Southern Illinois University and who is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy there. It is worth noting also in particular that Larry brought up progress that the state of Mississippi has made especially given the leadership and example that the University of Mississippi, affectionately called Ole Miss, has offered for the state. He also kindly mentioned Eric's book on leadership and higher education in Mississippi, Uniting Mississippi: Democracy and Leadership in the South.
