For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved?

“Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.” Shakespeare forgot about this one: “some are nudged by the rejection of numerous law schools.” Alan Zweibel has written so many words that have made us laugh, through the voices of Gilda Radner, Billy Crystal, Garry Shandling and his own. He was one of the original writers and creators of Saturday Night Live. The legal world’s loss was clearly comedy’s gain. Our’s too.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send us a text Long ago as a film major at City College of New York in the 1970’s, Stanley Nelson found his passion. We are fortunate that he did. For almost 40 years, his films have told the story of the African American experience. Be it Attica or Emmett Till, the Freedom Riders or the Black Panthers, his films speak with an eloquent voice and a captivating camera. His production company Firelight Media has four new films on the agenda, because there is always more history to be told.…
Send us a text Tom Chapin is still going strong at the age of 80. There are performances and projects. And there’s an appreciation for a life that has brought him experiences that extend far beyond the usual path of the folk musician: searching for sharks on the Indian Ocean, playing basketball at the famed Rucker Court in New York and being assigned a cool nickname to boot, his song being used to wake up astronauts on the Space Shuttle. All of these experiences have made their way into his heart as he and his music have made their way into ours.…
Send us a text Those of us who follow the Middle East intensely, reading about it constantly, understand that our reactions are never dispassionate. Peter Beinart knows this all too well. For decades, his writing and television appearances have garnered plenty of praise and plenty of criticism, even vitriol. And that reality won’t likely change with his new book “Being Jewish After The Destruction Of Gaza: A Reckoning.” Beinart argues that it’s a reckoning that far too few American Jews are having. You may love the book. You may hate the book. But it’s safe to say that you will not be indifferent.…

Send us a text How do you return to a normal life after experiencing pain, loss and then unbridled joy? Alsu Kurmasheva is a Russian American journalist who works for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in Prague. She was detained in her native Russia while visiting her mother in 2023 and later arrested on charges of “spreading false information” about the Russian military, charges that Alsu and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty deny. While his wife was detained for more than 9 months, her husband Pavel Butorin, also a journalist for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, advocated for her release while taking care of their two daughters. Finally, the family’s dreams were realized when Alsu was included in a prisoner swap between Russia and the United States in August, 2024. Alsu and Pavel are back in Prague, busy with work, raising two daughters and getting accustomed to a new normal: life after detainment.…

Send us a text Caroline Aaron knows from motherhood. She’s a mom. As an actor, she’s played plenty of moms, long before she got the mom role for which she is best known, Shirley Maisel in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” She’s currently playing a mom in the off-Broadway show “Conversations With Mother.” But her own mother’s story might be the most compelling of all: a Jew from Selma, Alabama who got married and raised three kids in Richmond, Virginia. Caroline’s father died young, and Caroline watched as her widowed mom got a job as the lone white professor at the historically black college Virginia Union University, all the while advocating for civil rights in the Jim Crow south. That may sound like a world away from the world of the character Shirley Maisel. But lessons learned long ago in Richmond have been the ties that bind throughout Caroline Aaron’s long and fulfilling career.…
Send us a text Art seems to be imitating life for actor Gretchen Mol in her new film, the latest Ed Burns project, “Millers in Marriage.” It’s not the plot of the movie, which covers three complicated and troubled marriages and relationships. That does not mirror her life. But Gretchen plays a character who is a middle-aged woman trying to figure out the next chapter, when Gretchen herself is a middle aged actor who has worked consistently while raising a family and is now thinking about the next chapter.…
Send us a text By his mid 50s Craig Taubman had already enjoyed great musical success in the secular and Jewish worlds, with his songs sung at synagogues and Jewish summer camps across the country. But he felt the need to do more. So he bought a building in downtown Los Angeles. His initial proposal was shot down by his daughter. Craig says she called it “the dumbest idea he ever had.” Here’s to constructive criticism, because the eventual idea, the Pico Union Project, a multi faith community worship and performing arts center, has brought joy and connection to an L.A. neighborhood, just as his music has done for decades for so many of us.…
Send us a text Imagine being at work, you make a decision and almost a million people react to that decision. Immediately. And in public. Welcome to the world of Jon Heyman, a veteran baseball writer and reporter who is followed passionately on social media, especially X. His pronouncements about potential free agent signings are followed like foreign policy announcements or Congressional hearings, only with much more passion. Years ago, when a tweet was something that we associated with a bird, Jon Heyman got hooked by sports journalism. And he still is.…
Send us a text Joy Sela is in the first stages of a career as a filmmaker. Her first documentary, “The Other,” takes on a topic with so many elements: passion, emotion, history, geography, anger and loss. The Middle East. In the spirit of the great documentarian Albert Maysles, Joy Sela puts a mirror up to the many Israelis and Palestinians in the film and listens to their stories of heartbreak and death. And their stories of small, away from the limelight moments of friendship and a painful but possible path to peace.…

Send us a text Tony Pallagrosi uses one word frequently when talking about his career as a musician, promoter and musical entrepreneur: luck. Sure, a well-timed quitting of a garage band may have put him in a position to be able to join a great band, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. But there’s nothing lucky about the work that Tony and the team at Light of Day Foundation have done for 25 years, raising money for Parkinson’s research and other related diseases. Light of Day is preparing for the Winterfest 25 festival, an annual series of concerts and musical events in New Jersey that has raised millions. Luck is good. Teamwork is better. You can get information about all of the Winterfest 25 shows at https://lightofday.org/…
Send us a text Some stories never leave you. Like the admonition from Dr. Kathie-Ann Joseph’s aunt when her niece was admitted to Harvard; “You’re not lucky. You worked hard for this.” I first met and interviewed Dr. Joseph, a leading breast cancer surgeon and researcher in New York in 2007. Her story, her message, her inspiration is just as profound all these years later.…

Send us a text What is it about the power of a photograph: the joy, the passion, the emotion of one moment in time? For more than 40 years, Lynn Goldsmith’s photographs have made us smile, made us think and made us feel. She is best known for her rock ‘n roll photographs, but along the way, she was a musician, a TV director and the co manager of a big 1970’s band, Grand Funk Railroad. She pursued it all at one (shutter) speed: full steam ahead.…
Send us a text In his 20’s, Michael Giacchino had a love of movies and music and a job in marketing. But he’d put himself in a position to succeed. When the window of opportunity opened, he was ready.
Send us a text Imagine movies without music. Impossible. It’s part of the magic. And Michael Giacchino creates that magic, in movies like Coco, The Batman, Ratatouille, Jojo Rabbit and his Oscar winner, Up. A love of movies came early. Michael was the kid in the neighborhood making super 8 films. The love of music followed. Eventually, his two loves met and thus a career was forged. And now it’s come full circle; Michael is making his feature directorial debut with a remake of the 1954 sci fi thriller Them. Those super 8 films of his youth were a lifetime ago. But his passion for making music and movies is as bright as ever.…
Send us a text Ed Burns has mined his experience growing up in an Irish American family on Long Island over the course of his long career as an independent filmmaker, most notably in his breakthrough film The Brothers McMullen in 1995. He has written thousands of words on the page that end up on the screen. Now the words are staying on the page in his novel “A Kid From Marlboro Road.” It’s hardly autobiographical but clearly influenced by those years long ago as a kid on Long Island. His parents gave him roots and introduced him to the worlds of theater and writing and books. Ed’s career has taken him around the world while never straying far from home.…
