Thanks Martin - I used your book a lot when conducting background reading for my dissertation, and also to plan some of my lectures here. One of my favourites on the topic!

Glad to hear you're using the film The Black Stork. If your students are confused by it, you might have them read 3 short encyclopedia entries I wrote that might help:
“Eugenics,” “Haiselden, Harry,” and “Black Stork,” in Encyclopedia of American Disability History, ed. Susan Burch (NY: Facts on File, 2009), pp. 114-15, 333-37, and 418-19..
Of course chapters from my book The Black Stork would be a good follow-up.

Greetings fellow Gilded Age and Progressive Era enthusiasts,

Alex Hastie is doing a series on Ohio presidents in his Ohio V. The World podcast. There are two episodes on McKinley currently available. Future episodes with cover Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Taft, and Harding. There are other Gilded Age and Progressive Era topics in the Ohio V. The World back catalog. Episodes are a little over an hour and typically include interviews with writers, historians, public historians, and other experts. Here is the link:

Thank you Dr. Unger! These look interesting.I will check them out.

Hi Gregory,

No worries! I'd be interested to hear about any other podcasts you find as well.

Best wishes,

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

Those are excellent episodes indeed. Thank you for the recommendation!

My work concerning Progressive Era reformer Belle La Follette has been the subject of a couple of podcasts (of different lengths). There's one that's an hour long that covers a lot of various Progressive Era topics at:

A 12 minute podcast primarily on La Follette's contributions to the women's suffrage campaign can be found at:
