On this episode of After the Show, Thurman and Julie are back on to talk about the JFK assassination through film.  We analyze Oliver Stone's JFK as well as Martin Scorsese's the Irishman and talk about other appearances in popular culture and the impact this event has had on American culture.

It was great catching up with Mark on the podcast!  He is on the show to talk about his journey in the martial arts, training at Jackson's in ABQ, meeting his instructor, Alberto Crane, owning an academy in California and the Jiu-Jitsu scene there pre and post pandemic.  We also talk about some values that make the culture unique at his academy and how he still finds the motivation to train, ride, ruck and stay active.  Mark is a fantastic black belt and instructor and it was an absolute pleasure having him on the show!

I have been looking forward to sitting down for a long forum conversation with Justin for a while now.  We work on campus together and are never at a shortage for great talks about history in passing.  It was great getting to finally sit down with him and talk about his life, education, surviving a brain tumor, his background and interest in history, civilian air patrol, the Vietnam War and much more.  Thanks for taking the time, Justin.  I hope we can do it again on down the road.

It is always great sitting down for a conversation with John.  John has been on the podcast numerous times and this is his first time back since the pandemic began.  We have future episodes planned to review season two of the Mandalorian on an episode of After the Show, and also a Music Unraveled live listen and review of the new Puscifer Album.  Be on the lookout for these episodes.  Thank you for tuning in.

It is great having Marie and Dr. Housenick back on the show to answer questions and do a breakdown of the 2020 election. Marie is a historian and PhD at the University of Arkansas and Dr. Housenick is a political science professor at Arkansas Tech University.

Dr. Totten is on the show to discuss recently earning his PhD from the University of Arkansas and his research and study of the Fourth New Hampshire Volunteers in the Civil War. Dr. Totten recently successfully defended his dissertation on "A Suspected Democratic Regiment: The Fourth New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry in the American Civil War."

Dr. Nate Chapman is a Sociology Professor at Arkansas Tech University and is on the show to discuss his recent book: Beer and Racism: How Beer Became White, Why It Matters, and the Movements to Change It (Sociology of Diversity).

Beer in the United States has always been bound up with race, racism, and the construction of white institutions and identities. Given the very quick rise of craft beer, as well as the myopic scholarly focus on economic and historical trends in the field, there is an urgent need to take stock of the intersectional inequalities that such realities gloss over. This unique book carves a much-needed critical and interdisciplinary path to examine and understand the racial dynamics in the craft beer industry and the popular consumption of beer. 

Thank you for taking the time to come on and share you research with us, Nate!
