The Square - Ep 33 - Return To Snakeland

Thu, 27 May 2021 04:00:30 GMT

We have a very interesting episode for you today. In our second, feature segment we speak with Aaron O'Brian and Jason Gusman of the true crime podcast Return to Snakeland. It centers around the mysterious murder of high school student Kathy Herold in the summer of 1985. Content warning: some of the details are graphic.Aaron and Jason were students at the same school in Kenmore, NY and were haunted by the murder and the subsequent bungling of the case by investigators. Their research began with Jason's blog in the mid 2000's. As a result Aaron and Jason met and turned the story into a fictionalized graphic novel. Feeling the story deserved more attention, they began their podcast this May of 2021 and are currently releasing episodes weekly on Wednesdays.We enjoy the podcast as it focuses on the tragedy and humanity of the story, and not the gruesome details.You can find more information on their website.

The Square Ep - 31 - A New City Charter feat. Drs. Russell Weaver and Jason Knight

Thu, 13 May 2021 04:00:16 GMT

The gang explains Stefan's goofy ribbon cutting ceremony pics and other news of the week. Drs. Russell Weaver and Jason Knight then join us to discuss their very interesting proposal for a more democratic Buffalo city charter-->Here's their full proposal: www.highroadpolicy.orgHere's their Buffalo News article on the subject, pasted below for those behind the paywall.https://buffalonews.com/opinion/another-voice-to-build-back-better-buffalo-needs-a-people-centered-charter/article_83e17bf4-7ba3-11eb-b4c4-f368dac77c54.htmlFind us at:Facebook: www.facebook.com/squarepodTwitter: @squarepodbuffJim: @JamesTamolRyan: @darealryansteelRiy: @GFY========================================-Another Voice: To build back better, Buffalo needs a people-centered charter-The Covid-19 pandemic and ensuing crises have laid bare how our political economy is set up to reinforce, rather than combat, racial, gender, economic, and spatial inequality. In response, the intersectional racial and social justice organizing that has grown out of Covid-19 and the movement for Black lives has brought national attention to the need to implement new solutions toward a regenerative economy.However, rising calls to advance social and racial justice have yet to be answered with commitments to structural change in Western New York. In just the past few weeks, a public agency in Hamburg greenlighted nearly $7 million in tax incentives for Amazon to bring a few dozen low-wage jobs. And a probe by New York State revealed ongoing practices of redlining.Lack of progress toward structural change is not necessarily due to government inaction. Public agencies are actively engaged in meeting urgent Covid-related needs and reforming inequitable policies and practices. Unfortunately, an equitable, sustainable society cannot come from simple adjustments to unfair and discriminatory institutions. The path to a better world is one that collectively and continuously remakes the systems from which inequitable institutions emerge. Change requires a shift from focusing on events, like locally unwanted development projects, to understanding and democratically redesigning the structures that produce those events. Such change is the work not of reformers tweaking current institutions, but of reformers collectively (re-)imagining and (re-)forming new ones.One reformative change that can begin answering the growing calls for social, racial, gender and economic justice in Buffalo is a rights-based charter. To date, around 200 local governments in 12 states have passed rights-based ordinances or adopted rights-based charters or charter amendments. These tools leverage municipal home rule powers to institutionalize environmental rights, worker rights, rights of nature and democratic rights into local government practices.Codifying these rights in Buffalo can be a giant step toward a more inclusive and democratic economy and society – and doing so is in reach. By state law, any of the mayor, council or a citizen-driven ballot initiative can create a Charter Revision Commission. Such a commission can begin public education and outreach and collaborate with community stakeholders to draft a rights-based charter.
