Epstein donated money to Bard and was involved in academic-adjacent circles that Botstein occupied, part of Epstein’s broader strategy of embedding himself in elite educational and cultural institutions to launder his reputation. Like Harvard, MIT, and other universities that later faced scrutiny over their acceptance of Epstein-linked funds, Bard benefited from Epstein’s patronage during a period when his criminal conduct was either minimized or quietly ignored by many in elite circles.

In Bed With The RightEpisode 123 [PATREON PREVIEW] -- The Botstein FilesOne of the men whose presence in the Epstein Files has been making a lot of news is Bard College's forever president Leon Botstein.

How to Fix DemocracyThe Art of Listening | Featuring Leon BotsteinLeon Botstein, music director and conductor, scholar, and president of Bard College in upstate New York, had once thought that the Berlin Wall would never come down. And he found the revolutions surrounding 1989 "frightening" because they could lead to the ascent of unregulated capitalism and the release of suppressed nationalism. Botstein explains that democracy "is harder than people expected" and worries that we are spending too much time staring at our smartphones and "mesmerized by nothing" rather than finding meaning and value by our own activity.

A Dallas musician sounded off on Facebook that orchestra concerts were not meant to be patriotic events, and that the anthem ruined the mood a conductor was trying to set. Many others agreed.
In this week's podcast, two experts weigh in on the anthem at the orchestra...
