  • Excellent and wide ranging

    The 'New Books Network' is remarkable for its cogent, easy-to-listen-to author interviews, but the NBN Communications podcast is excellent. It's just getting started, but the future looks bright.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Oana Godeanu-Kenworthy, "Videotape" (Bloomsbury, 2025)
Q: What do you think are some of the most interesting sort of unintended consequences of these rulings?
The most interesting unintended consequence of this rule began in the 1990s, where the industry lost the battle over access but continued its war, leading to laws meant to limit access to digital content, which contributed to the growing problem of e-waste today.
Oana Godeanu-Kenworthy, "Videotape" (Bloomsbury, 2025)
Q: Could you start us off, please, by introducing yourself a little bit and tell us why you decided to write an Object Lessons book and one about videotapes?
I teach in the Department of Global Intercultural Studies at Miami University in Ohio in the US. My personal connection to the videotape is that I grew up in Romania in the 1980s, when videotapes were a rare and illicit pleasure because they were not legal.
John Bodnar, "Divided by Terror: American Patriotism after 9/11" (UNC Press, 2021)
Q: How did the debates over how to memorialize the attacks reflect some of the debates about the wars?
Debates include voices both for and against military action, showing contrasting views on whether memorialization should honor the deceased as heroes or acknowledge the trauma and complexity of the events.
John Bodnar, "Divided by Terror: American Patriotism after 9/11" (UNC Press, 2021)
Q: How was patriotism expressed in the early days of the 9-11 attacks?
Immediately after the attacks, most Americans exhibited a patriotic response characterized by flag-waving and a desire to strike back against perceived threats.
John Bodnar, "Divided by Terror: American Patriotism after 9/11" (UNC Press, 2021)
Q: Can you briefly talk about your previous work?
John Bodnar discusses the roots of the issues in his book Divided by Terror, relating it to his previous work on commemorating the Vietnam War.
