Omigawd! If you haven’t listened to my interview with Anne Nelson about her home state of Oklahoma please do. I learn so much from her always, but I have listened to it multiple times and keep learning new things — like if you don’t know who Walker Evans is run don’t walk. And who else is listening to that dustbowl troubadour today, Woody Guthrie, today?

• Anne Nelson is a prize-winning author and journalist who published extensively on the issues of human rights and freedom of expression. From 1980 to 1983 she covered the wars in Central America.  Her reports from the region appeared in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the BBC. Her most recent book is Shadow Network: Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right, which has informed the new documentary Bad Faith: Christian Nationalism's Unholy War on Democracy.  She is also the author of two books on the anti-Nazi resistance, Red Orchestra: The Berlin Underground and the Circle of Friends Who Resisted Hitler, and Suzanne's Children: A Daring Rescue in Nazi Paris.  The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Livingston Award for journalism, she taught at Columbia University for over twenty years, and is currently a research scholar at Columbia's Saltzman Institute.  She is a native of Oklahoma and graduated from Yale University — the first woman from Oklahoma to graduate from Yale.

  • Among our key discussion topics with Nelson — her work on the new documentary Bad Faith and her book Red Orchestra. I am so moved by both projects, and I cannot wait to have this conversation. Here is a recent Q & A with Nelson that is particularly fabulous:
