This is the story about what might happen if rice wins.The Rights of Rice and Future of NatureSupport for this episode was provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). But can wild rice sue a state agency? The short answer is: yes. The case of Manoomin v Minnesota Department of Natural Resources alleges that the Minnesota DNR infringed on the wild rice’s right to live and thrive. Last August, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources was sued by wild rice. It has long played an important role in Ojibwe cultures, but last year, Manoomin took on a new role: plaintiff in a court case. It’s the only grain indigenous to North America, and while it might be called rice, it’s actually not closely related to brown or white rice at all. The Ojibwe name for wild rice is Manoomin, which translates to “the good berry.” The scientific name is Zizania palustris. To celebrate the book’s release, I’m proud to re-present to you: The remarkable story of the Freedom House Ambulance Service. should read it, it should be on all your Christmas lists. It’s new, it’s out now, you should buy it. Kevin Hazzard, who reported the piece, subsequently released a whole book on the Freedom House Ambulance Service called American Sirens: The Incredible Story of the Black Men Who Became America's First Paramedics. It originally aired in the summer of 2020, when a lot of the fundamental aspects of work, life, health, law enforcement, structural racism, cities were all being questioned by more and more people because of COVID and the George Floyd protests. It’s called the Freedom House Ambulance Service.
It just has everything– engaging storytellers, brilliant reporting, and a compelling history of a moment when the world really changed. But the show is definitely in contention for the best episode we’ve ever made. Not because they’re all my precious little babies or some such nonsense, but mostly it’s because I just can’t remember them all and there’s no simple criteria to judge them against each other.
When people ask me what my favorite episode of 99% Invisible is, I have a hard time answering.
In the second, a death row inmate at San Quentin discovers Buddhist practices that help to calm his mind, and embrace compassion.Featuring Cyrus Habib, Jarvis Masters, Leigh Marz, and Justin Zorn. In the first, the Lieutenant Governor of Washington State abandons politics to become a Jesuit novice, and takes a temporary vow of silence. I love how this episode turned out and I’m so proud of everyone involved, that I want to share it with you as a bonus episode. In a noisy, tumultuous world, how can we find inner peace? This episode features two stories about the transformative power of silence. But the story Twenty Thousand Hertz produced tackles the main thesis of Golden more head on. In case of Twenty Thousand Hertz, hear the world differently. We’ve collaborated a number of times, but we’re featuring them today because our sibling podcast produced an episode with my actual sibling Leigh Marz, co-author of the book Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise. Leigh showed up on a mini-story episode 99pi a few months talking about the ever increasing loudness of sirens as a way of measuring just how loud our world has become. I think of it as almost a sibling of 99% Invisible: lovingly produced and reported deep dives into everyday things that make you see the world differently. The podcast Twenty Thousand Hertz is a show about the world's most interesting and recognizable sounds.
