Summary

This behind-the-scenes episode discusses the hosts' recent episode on air pollution history, featuring John Evelyn's 17th-century treatise Fumafugium. The hosts explore connections between historical pollution, environmental justice, and contemporary issues like EV adoption inequality and coal industry nostalgia, while also discussing their recent episode on early female Olympic athletes.

Insights
  • Environmental quality is inseparable from racial justice, disability justice, and class justice—pollution exposure disproportionately affects disadvantaged communities
  • EV adoption mirrors wealth inequality: wealthier neighborhoods have significantly higher EV adoption rates, leaving poorer communities with worse air quality despite technological solutions existing
  • Historical female athletes faced systematic exclusion not from lack of ability but from institutional gatekeeping by male-dominated Olympic leadership with outdated views on women's participation
  • Women advocating for equality in sports were often criticized as 'aggressive' or 'abrasive' for assertiveness that would be unremarkable if displayed by men
  • Content creators face finite editorial capacity and must prioritize mental health over covering every urgent intersecting issue simultaneously
Trends
Growing awareness of environmental justice as intersectional issue connecting pollution, race, class, and disabilityEV adoption inequality creating two-tiered air quality outcomes based on economic statusRenewed scrutiny of historical figures' problematic views as modern values shift on gender equality and environmental responsibilityPodcast platforms expanding distribution (Netflix integration) to reach audiences across multiple consumption contextsContent creator burnout and executive function collapse becoming normalized discussion points in media production

Wilson. And I'm Holly Frey. This week we talked about Fumafujim and Johnny Blinn. This is so fun. Yeah, so the process was exactly what I said at the beginning of the episode. Like, I was like, oh, John Evelyn did that? That's funny. Fumafujium is a funny name. And then, you know, five hours later, Fury, the latest of many things to be furious about. The drive of Fury. From the headlines. Yeah. And saying, okay, we're going to talk about air pollution more. There were a couple times last year when I had, I wanted to have some kind of story that was about, like, conservation or the environment or whatever. But also, I had sort of internally committed myself to talking as much as possible about things that the president would say was improper ideology. Right. Yeah. So heterosexual white man John Evelyn was not at the top of my list. And he became at the top of the list this time because Fumafugium was there in front of me and I was like, we're going to talk about this. This gives me thoughts because my subversion, I'm playing slightly more subtly. Like, I don't say because the president said this. But because there has like one of the reasons I picked George Stevenson is that we are in this age where people are talking about how higher education is baloney and being educated. Oh, sure. And I just wanted to show somebody that was like, do you know how much I missed out on because I didn't get educated? Not my kid. Like, yeah, he's the person who is the key like case study of like, nope. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the thing that I kept thinking about that I did not say in the episode or the behind the scenes for that one was just about how hard and dangerous working in coal mines is. And how many people who worked in coal mines worked so hard so that their kids wouldn't have to. Yep. And this incredibly bizarre focus on, like, we need to bring back coal when coal is an obsolete technology at this point. And I was like, I don't need to say this. It's not actually relevant to this guy. Yeah. But it is. I mean, it is. That's all part of, like, why I was like, let's talk about George Stevenson this week. Yeah. It all feeds into it. But, yeah, air pollution is a problem. I don't. Yeah. Air quality is life quality. I mean, I don't, there's no more direct way to say it. Yeah, and there's so many layers of it that are so frustrating to me. Because we talked about, like I'm thinking about in our episode about putting lead in gasoline. Yeah. And how that had a trickle-down effect of the places that had the most vehicle traffic were the poorest neighborhoods, where the people who were already at the most disadvantaged were most likely to live, and then were being exposed to a lot more car exhaust with a lot more lead in it. Just a compounding problem. And this is why environmental justice is also racial justice and is also disability justice. And class justice. And maybe all of that is related to why the federal government is canceling green energy contracts left and right and not putting a monetary estimate on the health impacts of specific air pollution regulations. Yeah, I mean, you see that outside of regulation, you see this play out in a very obvious way in terms of the adoption of EVs, right? Oh, yeah. If you go to any major city and you go to the wealthiest neighborhoods, you're going to see a lot more EVs than you will ever see in the poorer neighborhoods. One is because they are still much more expensive than a gasoline powered, you know, injection engine. But like that is part of the problem that those people are now getting better air quality just because they can afford it. Yeah. Which is leaving other people behind in terms of health and quality of life. this feels like something we have people smart enough to fix yeah but they gotta be willing to do it i don't remember what it was that i read recently where somebody was referencing being in a place that now has like really high adoption over all of evs and realizing how different the air smelled without gas-powered car exhaust oh man in the Tokyo last year yeah my mind it made me think about growing up in North Carolina in the 70s and 80s when everyone smoked inside and how everything smelled horrible all the time. And you could go to the mall, you could buy yourself a brand new outfit, get it home. It already smelled like smoke because you could smoke inside in the mall. I mean, I couldn't tell because my mom smoked four packs a day, so I had no discernment. So yeah, we just sort of lived in that. Yeah. So anyway, I have thoughts and feelings about a lot of things, a lot of frustrations. And as I was wrapping this up, I was reminded of basically this time last year, feeling like there were multiple intersecting critical things at the same time, that it would be nice to reference in some way on the show and just not having enough episodes physically to do it all. So if you're listening to this and saying, why haven't they said anything about X? Just because we have finite numbers of episodes and also need to do things that keep our own minds sane at work. That is a big one for me lately where I'm like, I can't tackle that right now. My executive function will just collapse in a pile of crunchy flames. In comedy, though. Yeah. You mentioned several times we call out the fact that Evelyn was a royalist. I don't know that you needed to, because once we got to excerpts of his writing, it's really obvious. Oh, great majesty, you're the best one there's ever been. Oh, you're better than the rest of us. Our wonderful benefactor, the king, is going to do such great things. Yeah. Oh my goodness. just the most blow and sunshine of that that Regents took us man yeah yeah you the best one found it very funny the how much how many opportunities he took to flatter the king yes and things that were not necessarily about that was just in my head the cartoon that plays is like the person receiving that information and receiving that flattery. Right. Like, I don't like that kind of stuff. It makes me want to crawl into a tin can and roll away. But there are people that love it. Right. Right. Right. And just imagining if there was ever a point where Charles II is like, Lil Thick, champ, Lil Thick. Yeah. You don't need to brown nose quite that much. Back up the truck, John. We don't have to do this. The only thing I actually noted at the end of the outline to try to remember to say in the behind the scenes is that I watched a video of a lecture by Jillian Darley about this. And I don't remember which of his works she was talking about, but she described it as having drawings that he did that were, quote, very valiant and not utterly successful. And I had to pause it and laugh so hard at that characterization. And I was like, I should go look up those illustrations and see what they looked like. And I forgot. Oh, well. There could be great delight awaiting you in the visuals of John Evelyn. Maybe so. Great. We all need more delight. Yeah, he's somebody that for sure could have had a whole episode just on his biography. But I wanted to spend more time talking about this amusingly, in my opinion, named treatise on air pollution. It's pretty good. I feel like we should just put that word on shirts. No explanation. Sure. No nothing. Just. Have a picture of like pretty garden flowers underneath. Not even. Just a word. I think his whole plan. It's like the new Juicy Couture. Yeah, his whole plan of like ringing the city of London with fields full of flowers and fragrant plants. I'm like, that sounds lovely. I mean, that does sound lovely. One of my favorite things, I know I talk about it ad nauseum, and I'm sorry for anybody who's like, we know. One of my favorite things about having several hydroponic gardens in the house is how good things smell. Yeah. Like when I walk into my cantina and the flowers are blooming in there, it's like heaven. It's like heaven. Yeah. Even on a really cruddy day or if I'm stressed, I just walk in there and I'm like, oh. One of the places that we went to in Morocco, that place where we had the meal outside with the winery. Oh, yeah. It was a winery that we ate outside. They had some huge, if I'm remembering correctly, jasmine plants. They had a lot of good plants. That made the whole area so fragrant. It was almost overwhelming walking through them. But like, once you were seated, it was like a little whiff of lovely flower smell. I was kind of worried about Patrick because he is allergic to some flowers. And I was like, uh-oh, are we going to have an issue? But he was fine. A lot of flowers. At one point, I got up to go to the ladies' room. And I don't know, you probably didn't notice because you were busy eating and talking. But I vanished for a while because I just went on, like, my own little flower tour. Oh, fun. I was taking pictures of flowers so I could use them in fabric prints. They had a rose there that smelled like cloves, which is something that happens with some roses. I have some, but they don't look nearly as, they were like a, like a, what's sometimes called like a ruffled rose where they have like the double blue. And it smelled just incredible. And I was like, I'm intoxicated. I'm never leaving this plant. I love it. Until Brian was like, hello, where are you? Yeah. I'm a big supporter in having accessible green space. It really makes a difference. Yeah. I like housing also. Housing and green space. What? You can have both. hippie. Yeah, I know. I'm weird that way. I too like both of these things. Yeah. We got an amount of snow over the weekend, and I took a long, about two and a half hours, hike through the snow, because it was also the right temperature for me to do this. It was just cold enough that the snow was not melting, but warm enough that I did not feel like I was miserable out hiking through the snow. And it was great. And I kept basically stopping to be like, look at that. Look at that tree covered in snow. It really restored some of my emotional bandwidth. I love it. I love it. My stomping through the woods with my boots on in the snow. Hi, this is Jo Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast, where we talk about astrology, natal charts, and how to step into your most vibrant life. And I just sat down with a mini driver. The Irish traveler said when I was 16, you're going to have a terrible time with men. Actor, storyteller, and unapologetic Aquarian visionary. Aquarius is all about freedom loving and different perspectives. and I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius like are misunderstood. A sun and Venus in Aquarius in her seventh house spark her unconventional approach to partnership. He really has taught me to embrace people sleeping in different rooms on different houses in different places, but just an embracing of the is-ness of it all. If you're navigating your own transformation or just want a chart-side view into how a leading artist integrates astrology, creativity, and real life, This episode is a must listen.

I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun. Tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Jermaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Jermaine was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth. Until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the On Purpose podcast. I'm joined by Luke Combs, award-winning country music artist and one of the most authentic voices in music today. Luke opens up about success, self-doubt, mental health, and what it really takes to stay true to who you are when your life changes overnight. I hate fame. I hate the word celebrity. I hate those words. They make me uncomfortable. But I think when you get to a certain point, the fame or the success or the influence, it just accentuates and exacerbates the inherent person that you are. The guy that says he's always going to be there and that will do anything to be there is the only guy that's not there. I'm in Australia when Bo was born. My whole identity is that no matter what, I'm going to prioritize my wife and my children over my job. I dread the conversation with my son. What do you think you'd say?

We talked about ladies in the Olympics We did Or almost in the Olympics That too That too I have a handful of things Okay One is just silly Which is that there was a write-up I read About Helene de Portales which was written by I believe he is Swiss a Swiss scholar but the only funny part was that he called like her group of aristocratic yachting friends yachties I don't know if that's a real term or not yeah but it made me think of Bob's Burgers on which yachts come up a lot surprisingly and I just could not I only hear it in voices from that show now I'm like yachties it's very funny Helen Preece yeah I'm not I'm like that person I did not ever go through a horse phase as a kid I didn't have it like many kids do yeah so I know very little about horseback riding right I didn't know about side saddle jumping which people still do okay holy smokes that looks terrifying I knew about side saddle jumping probably I think Gone with the Wind is... Oh, it never registered to me in that. A movie that has a formative... Formative is not the right word. A movie that has a critical moment involving a child riding side saddle and jumping. Not even a big jump. Unless I'm confusing it with some other movie. There is some... Listen, that's another thing. I live in Atlanta and I'm not a big Gone with the Wind person. I feel it. I've seen it like once when I was a child. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I just, I was never a horse kid. So, like, even if it came up in a movie, I would not have fixated on it. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know. Also, I think some of our neighbors are snowblowing, so hopefully none of that is being captured in our audio. If anyone is watching this or listening and saying, what is that strange noise that I can hear with the love in the background? The answer is, we have almost 20 inches of snow on the ground here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There is a great story about Helen Preece that I found so charming, but it didn't, it was not germane to her Olympic bid. Okay. Which is that when she was in New York competing, one day she decided to take her horse for a ride through Central Park. And she was fast. She was fast as lightning. Like, she was very comfortable riding at very fast speeds. But the police of New York were not accustomed to seeing anyone on a horse going that fast through Central Park. And they thought, like, the horse had gotten scared and she had lost control of it. And they literally were, like, giving her chase. And instead of stopping, she was like, let's lead him on a little chase. Keep in mind, she was a teenage girl at this point. Sure, sure. She was, you know, I think 16. And when she finally stopped and the police caught up to her, she was like, hey, I'm Helen Preece. I'm the person that just won all those awards. Yeah. Here in New York. And they were like, oh, okay. It just made me laugh so hard, the idea of her leading people in a chase. Don't do that. It's not cool. But it did make me chuckle. I also had to laugh at Pierre de Coubertin calling her a neo-Amazon. Because you picture someone who is like a very, you know, tall, super muscly, strong person. Helen Priest was like a petite thing. She was very, and again, a girl at that point. She was still a teenager. So it made me, I was like, how are you trying to spin this, my dude? Like, that's not... Oh, Pierre. That whole thing. Listen, he still has one of history's best mustaches, but... Yeah, he does. I do remember that. I blocked the sexism out of my brain, but I do remember the mustache. Yeah, I mean, it's interesting because there are people who defend him as like, no, that's the product of his time and he was very chivalrous but like chivalry at its heart is demeaning to women in a lot of ways there's a difference between wanting to be polite and kind and respectful and being like no no honey like yeah yeah yeah and I will say it came up in some of the things I read about and I didn't I didn't really jump into it in this outline but that there were a lot of men it was not as though that was the only prevailing opinion among men at the time there were men who were like why not let these women compete like they're athletes we're all athletes this yeah this is you know we have room we can make this happen and there were a lot of men advocating. There were also some men saying really stupid stuff. And Alice Millard had this great response to, I think it was a runner who just said some really, you know, unnecessarily stupid and gross things about women. And she was referring to him and to Bertin. She said, quote, they could do themselves a favor by showing some interest in women's sport. they shut themselves away in their everlasting male egoism. She's just like, fine dudes, do you understand? You're going to leave yourself behind because the rest of us are trying to make things better and equal and like improve the games.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. she had this reputation that even people that were aligned with her that were in her organization would kind of be like you know we might do better if elise were not so assertive and abrasive like she's too brusque she's too blunt in everything that she says and like it was very much like the oh we'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar which like listen I'm very know your audience figure out which tactic is gonna work best but this is also the same group of women who were like oh yes we'll take just the five after you promised us 10 sports it's fine it's fine they were like no Helen don't be so mean yeah well and which she's like you said 10 yeah yeah also like there are a lot of circumstances in which women are framed as aggressive or shrill or whatever doing something that would not raise any eyebrows whatsoever if a man were doing it and so when I kind of scrolled to the end of the outline and I took a peek at the things you had noted for yourself to talk about it behind the scenes and I was like I already have feelings about this one. I knew you would. I know that's a very sticky point for you. Yeah, I find it very frustrating. There's a part of me, I don't want to say this in a way that sounds like I'm discounting your thoughts on the matter, or anyone's. I don't find it as frustrating as you because my response is usually like, well, okay. And then I say expletive you and then I walk away from that person forever and I never talk to them again. But that's just me. Sure. because I'm never going to convince that person right right that I'm something other than what they perceive so I don't care I am more frustrated by the role that plays in society than on like me as an individual person oh yeah but I think this is why I'm drawn to Alice Millard because she was like cool we'll do our own thing I'll make my own system I'll just do it like that's why I'm like yes, this is exactly the route I would like to think I would take. And I love that she wrote him a letter that was like, great. Why don't you specifically say women are never allowed in any of the games? Because that's going to make my life easier. I can move on without you and I don't have to deal with your garbage. You can just put it behind us. I love her so much. Ah, Elise. She's a good one. And now I have a checklist for next time I'm in Paris to go see her statue. Yeah. Sounds fun. I feel like lately my list of travel things is getting very long. Yeah. Here's hoping we get allowed, Americans are still allowed to travel in the not too distant future. Anyway, those are my thoughts. Alice Milja forever. Yeah. Before we sign off for today's behind the scenes, should we tell people that our podcast is on Netflix now? Sure. I mean, a person could... I mean, if they're watching it, they've figured it out. Right. But... Maybe this is not news to someone who is watching this right now, but yes, our podcast. Netflix has podcasts now, and our podcast is one of them. Yeah. Yeah, you can go check it out at Netflix. Yeah. If you search for our show, it's going to come up. It's right there. You can click the, what's it called? The Remind Me button is the one that will tell you when new episodes show up. Yes. Also, this is a great way to resolve a thing that a lot of people have told us about, which is that they have seen photos of us and they hear us talking and they have mixed up our faces with their voices. And then they meet us out in the world somewhere or come to a live show. Not that we've done any of those in very long. But then it's a disconcerting experience. so you can watch on Netflix and just get all of that out of the way before having an in-person experience ever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there we are. So you can check us out there. More ways to enjoy the show. If you are already watching on Netflix, we thank you. If you haven't yet and you want to check it out, there it will be going forward. And if you are listening on some other medium, that's not going away. Correct. Netflix is, in addition, not a replacement. Yeah, if you're like, oh no, I listen while I walk. You still can't. No problem. Yeah. No problem. Whatever platform you're using is going to work just fine. But then if you want to listen one day while you sit on the couch at home, you can do that too. Options. Yeah. Yeah. If this is your weekend coming up and you have time off, I hope that you use that time to make the world a better place, but also do you use that time to rest and recuperate. We need you as strong and well rested as you can be in the days that we are living in. If you do not have time off this weekend and you have responsibilities or you are scheduled for work, I hope that everyone is cool to you, that you still get time to yourself to center and recuperate from all of the things that are going on in the world. I think we all need to be very mindful of our nervous systems right now and what we can and cannot do in a given day and try to do our very best. Like I said, please take care of one another. We will be right back here tomorrow with a classic episode, and then we will have something brand new on Monday. Stuff You Missed in History Class is a production of iHeartRadio.
