Revolution Resolution is a five-minute, twice-weekly podcast from author and sociologist Anna Malaika Tubbs, drawing on the insights of her two NYT Bestsellers Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden From Us and The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of MLK Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation. This podcast is for everyone, every race, every background, every gender, and every age. We have all been shaped, limited, or wounded by a system built on hierarchy, whether we’ve been pressured to conform to it, harmed by it, or taught to uphold it.

A foundational essay on the psychology of horror in literature, featuring eleven period illustrations. In 1773, siblings John Aikin and Anna Laetitia Barbauld wanted to know why we take such pleasure in being terrified. We joyfully consume tales of ghosts, murders, earthquakes, and shipwrecks...but it's difficult to tell why tragedy attracts onlookers even though people think of themselves as decent humans who would never enjoy the terror and suffering of others. Why do we love spooky? Listen and learn.

«E noi, che cosa stiamo diventando? E io, cosa sono diventato?» si chiede Paolo Nori. E la risposta viene da una lontananza che in verità brucia distanze e porta con sé, come fosse turbine di visioni, di fatti, di sentimenti, e naturalmente di poesia, la vita di Anna Achmatova. «Vogliamo raccontare» dice Nori «la storia di Anna Achmatova, una poetessa russa nata nei pressi di Odessa nel 1889 e morta a Mosca nel 1966.

Anna Karenina is one of the most nuanced characters in world literature, and we return to her and the novel she propels again and again. Remarkably, there has not yet been an examination of Leo Tolstoy specifically through the lens of this novel. Critic and Professor Bob Blaisdell unravels Tolstoy’s family, literary, and day-to-day life during the period that he conceived, drafted, abandoned, and revised Anna Karenina. In the process, we see where Tolstoy’s life and his art intersect in obvious and unobvious ways.

Why does Anna Karenina feel terrifyingly modern? Dive deep into the psychological autopsy of Tolstoy's iconic characters with Dr. Shelf. We dissect Anna's devastating approach-avoidance conflict – where every step toward authentic feeling risks her world. Discover how her affair isn't about love, but a desperate awakening from a dissociative life. This isn't just 19th-century drama; it's a masterclass in psychological realism.
