Today @renatakeller.bsky.social drops into the studio to talk about the Cuban Missile Crisis and the film Thirteen Days. We got to talk about how Latin America responded to the Crisis and how the world narrowly avoided nuclear war. This is a deep dive and an awesome pod. cc: @uncpress.bsky.social

One of the things that Chairman Tahdooahnippah and I both wanted to talk about was how to do ethical scholarship with Tribes. So if you’re interested in those thoughts or feel that your students could hear them, check out the current episode of Reckoning with Jason Herbert below.
