Our guest on this episode is John Kasich, who served as Ohio’s 69th governor from 2011 until just this past January. Now a CNN political commentator, Gov. Kasich often speaks about the power of individuals to effect change at the local level, to reach beyond politics and the issues that divide us to achieve solutions through unity and resilience. During his tenure, when Ohio budget reserves grew from 89 cents to $2.7 billion, the governor was a leading voice in promoting bipartisan solutions to health care reform, immigration and international trade, and was one of the few Republicans to advocate for Medicaid’s expansion. Previously, Governor Kasich served Ohio as a state senator and then nine-term congressman. He’s also hosted the Fox News program “Heartland with John Kasich,” and authored four New York Times best-sellers including Two Paths: America Divided or United . His newest book, out in the fall, is titled It's Up to Us: Ten Little Ways We Can Bring About Big Change . Gov. Kasich joined CHQ&A’s John Merino for an in-studio conversation last month, shortly after delivering a lecture in the Chautauqua Amphitheater to open a week themed “Uncommon Ground: Communities Working Toward Solutions.” A quick program note on this episode: We had some difficulty with John Merino’s mic in this recording, so he will sound a bit distant, though still should be heard clearly. Gov. Kasich’s mic was operating normally. Ultimately we made the decision to forge ahead out of respect to Gov. Kasich and his incredibly tight Chautauqua itinerary.…
On this episode, we feature a conversation between interviewer John Merino and Maureen Rovegno, Chautauqua’s director of religion, on the little-known history of what has come to be called the “Burned-over District,” or the “on fire” religious environment and culture of the early 19th century in Western New York. As you’ll hear, Chautauqua itself is one of the movements that has roots in the “Burned-over District,” and the Institution will program a week of lectures on that era from July 22 to 25. More information is available at chq.org. The Week Five Interfaith Lecture Series is described as follows: We refer often to Chautauqua’s beginnings in 1874 and its history going forward, but little-known is the history that preceded Chautauqua’s founding. The Chautauqua Assembly reflected many movements that had had their genesis in what was called the “Burned-Over District” resulting from the “on fire” religious environment and culture of the early 19th century in Western New York. The Assembly synthesized the religious passion of the age with its own unique contributions to American culture, as did other religious and civic expressions of the region arising out of that epoch. In this week we will revisit that incendiary era, and then meet some other religious and civic entities that have also stood the test of time.…
Our guest on this episode is Ambassador William J. Burns, president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the oldest international affairs think tank in the United States.

Ambassador Burns is the author of an acclaimed new book, The Back Channel: A Memoir of American Diplomacy and the Case for Its Renewal , which Henry Kissinger called “an incisive and sorely needed case for the revitalization of diplomacy — what Burns wisely describes as our ‘tool of first resort.’” He joined Chautauqua Institution President Michael E. Hill for an onstage conversation on June 28 in the Chautauqua Amphitheater, during the first week of the 2019 summer assembly season, themed “Moments That Changed the World.”…

Part reportage and part memoir, The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir follows a young law student through her early career as she digs into both her own past, and the past of a convicted murderer.

On today's episode we feature two conversations: First is a discussion with Jill Vialet, founder and CEO of Playworks , who opened Chautauqua's week of lectures on "The Art of Play" on July 9. Then, Chautauqua Theater Company Artistic Director Andrew Borba sits with playwright Chelsea Marcantel and champion air guitarist Matt "Airistotle" Burns. Chelsea's newest play, Airness , is about air guitar competitions — CTC's production of Airness runs July 14 to 29 on the Bratton Theater stage. Jill Vialet is founder and CEO of Playworks, a nonprofit that operates on a belief “in the power of play to bring out the best in every kid.” From its beginnings in two schools in Berkeley, California, Playworks has grown to a staff of 700 and now reaches about 900,000 students in 23 regions around the United States, and is present within 1,800 schools and organizations. During the 2015–16 school year, Jill was an Education Fellow at Stanford’s d.school — very familiar to us at Chautauqua — where she launched a new project called Substantial, re-designing the way we recruit, train, and support substitute teachers. Prior to Playworks, Jill founded, and was the executive director for nine years, of the Museum of Children’s Art (MOCHA) in Oakland, California. Follow her on Twitter at @jillvialet , and read The Chautauquan Daily 's recap of her Amphitheater lecture here: http://chqdaily.com… . Chelsea Marcantel is the playwright behind Airness , and also Everything is Wonderful , Ladyish , Devour and Tiny Houses , which CTC produced as part of its New Play Workshop in 2016. Airness was recently honored with the 2018 Elizabeth Osborn New Play Award by the American Theatre Critics Association. Matt Burns is a special guest at Chautauqua this week — he is a waiter and world-class competitive air guitarist living in New York City. Matt decided to try air-rocking almost a decade ago when he saw the documentary Air Guitar Nation, and has since become a two-time champion at Air Guitar World Championship.

On today's episode we feature two conversations with presenters from Week Two of the Chautauqua season, themed "American Identity." First is a discussion with James and Deborah Fallows, who took the Amphitheater stage on the Fourth of July to present on their new book, Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey Into the Heart of America . Then, Taína Caragol, who opened the week of lectures on July 2, joins us at the 47:00 mark to expand upon her work as a curator at the National Portrait Gallery. For the last five years, Jim and Deb have been traveling across America in a single-engine prop airplane and reporting on the people, organizations and ideas re-shaping the country. As part of their “City Makers: American Futures” project in partnership with The Atlantic and APM’s “Marketplace,” the Fallowses visited smaller and medium-sized cities, meeting civic leaders, factory workers, recent immigrants, and young entrepreneurs to take the pulse and understand the prospects of places that usually draw notice only after a disaster or during a political campaign. Our Towns is the story of their journey — and an account of a country busy remaking itself, despite the challenges and paralysis of national politics. Jim is a national correspondent for The Atlantic and was editor of the US News & World Report . He has also authored several books himself, including China Airborne and National Defense , which won the American Book Award for nonfiction. Jim also worked as the chief White House speechwriter for Jimmy Carter for two years. Deb is a linguist who speaks six languages, and the author of A Mother’s Work and Dreaming in Chinese: Mandarin Lessons in Life, Love, and Languages . Before her travels abroad she was an assistant dean at Georgetown University and wrote about education, travel, work and women in publications such as The Atlantic , National Geographic and Newsweek . Follow them on Twitter at @JamesFallows and @FallowsDeb , and read The Chautauquan Daily 's recap of their Amphitheater lecture here: http://chqdaily.com… . Taína Caragol is the curator of painting and sculpture, and of Latino art and history, at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, where she and her colleagues tell the story of America through portraits of people who have shaped it. Regarding her role specific to Latino art and history, Taína has said, “When people are missing from a history museum, the visitor gets the sense that it’s because they haven’t made an impact on our history. My priority is to make sure that the Latinos who have had a significant role are well represented throughout our collections and in our exhibitions.” Among the many exhibitions Taína has curated are “Portraiture Now: Staging the Self,” and “One Life: Dolores Huerta,” which has been expanded and redesigned as a traveling exhibition this year. Taína previously worked as the curator of education at the Museo de Arte de Ponce in Puerto Rico, as consultant of art and archival collections for Lord Cultural Resources, and Latin American Bibliographer for the The Museum of Modern Art. She also co-curated an exhibition about the Young lords, Puerto Rican activists from the 1960s, for the Bronx Museum of the Arts.

Lexicographer Kory Stamper and playwright Lucas Hnath join interviewers Emily Morris and Andrew Borba in this packed episode featuring conversations with two presenters who helped shape the opening week of the 2018 Chautauqua Institution season, themed "The Life of the Written Word." For nearly two decades at Merriam-Webster, Kory Stamper was responsible for altering definitions of old words and creating definitions for new ones. Her book, Word by Word: The Secret Life of Dictionaries , cracks open the obsessive world of dictionary writing, from the agonizing decisions about what to define and how to do it, to the knotty questions of ever-changing word usage. In this converation, Kory and Emily discuss her book, how words find their way into the dictionary, and the hot-button issues you may be surprised to learn that lexicographers face. Follow her on Twitter at @KoryStamper , and read The Chautauquan Daily 's recap of her Amphitheater lecture here: http://chqdaily.com… .
