The Briefing with Michael WaldmanWhat to Expect From the Supreme Court TermOn October 7, the Supreme Court begins its 2024–2025 term — the fourth in which it is dominated by a supermajority of conservative justices. Just months after a disastrous presidential immunity decision, and in the face of continued controversy over the justices’ ethics and partisanship, the Court will reconvene to hear arguments on issues with profound consequences for American life. Among the questions on the docket: whether so-called “ghost guns” are subject to regulation, whether prosecutorial misconduct invalidates a death sentence, the power of federal agencies to protect waterways, the applicability of criminal sentence reduction laws, and access to gender...

Jamie Petrone-Codrington was living the high life. She owned 4 homes, 6 luxury cars, and traveled the world.
How did she fund such an extravagant lifestyle? Well, Petrone wasn’t a famous actress, physician, or CEO. She was the director of finance and administration for Yale’s School of Medicine, where she was in charge of purchasing computer equipment.
That doesn’t seem like it would be a path to riches. But indeed it was.
Petrone was making a fortune, until someone noticed something. She was buying a lot more electronics than the school needed. What was she...

Dr. Michael Clarke, principal of the Anglican seminary Codrington College in Barbados, beautifully articulates how embodied spirituality can change us and the importance of personal encounters with living Spirit to further us along our evolutionary path. He enlightens us as to the shortcomings of the Church and religion as it is largely practiced in the West in a way many of us may not have heard before, pointing out that the Church fails to take into account that the magnitude of our understanding of divine experience is ever expanding, in parallel with Ken Wilber’s Integral teaching on...

The Polaroid Podcast with Michael CodringtonEpisode 26: Matteo WheltonWelcome or Welcome back to The Polaroid Podcast 😃 . Our final episode of the Month is a great one, featuring Emory University basketball player Matteo Whelton. Whelton was immersed into the basketball world far before he was born. His father was coaching all throughout Europe, but mostly Germany where Whelton grew up. Like a sponge, Matteo followed his father around, as well as the players on the team, learning and becoming his own player. For as long as he could remember, he had played past his age, both overseas and domestically. Eventually, Whelton moved to Venice, Florida, where he still resides tod...

The Polaroid Podcast with Michael CodringtonEpisode 25: Niah WoodsThis past June, my guest Niah Woods was one of the recipients of the Billie Jean King Youth Leadership award at the ESPYS. She was nominated for her work with middle schoolers in the DMV through The Grassroots Project. During the year, I would often seen Woods on the go, moving between her service work, practice, and academics. When we first met during our Freshman year in study hall, I had no clue that I was in the midst of such a humanitarian. Born in Fairfield, Ohio (right outside of Cincinnati), Woods grew up one of many siblings. Each of...

It’s incredibly difficult to believe that we’re actually approaching a year since Kobe’s transition, along with 8 other victims in an incredibly tragic crash.

Originally from Destrehan, Louisiana, Sirmon grew up in a world of football.

I broke the ice with some questions about Justin’s experience. Of course, our times there made us the young adults that we are today. Entering, succeeding in, and graduating from college has been our mission for awhile. Most days during lunch, Justin, myself and whoever else would talk sports for what seemed like ever. I still remember vividly whe...

In observance of Veteran’s day, there was no episode yesterday(11.11), but we’re back with none other than Black Voices on the Hill Host Daniel James. Daniel is an incredible mind, with an even more incredible spirit. From the moment he stepped foot on Andover’s campus as a Sophomore, he was a light in everything he did. From Gospel Choir to Mock Trial, he was heavily involved. We did our fair share of reminiscing, including the incredible time we had in CRT, but also reflected on the 2016 election. Before any of that though, Daniel took me...

The Polaroid has been recovered! Unfortunately this does not mean the immediate continuation of in person episodes, but it couldn’t hurt to do one while I recovered it. That brings me to my next guest. As I mention in the episode, Henry and I had long made plans for him to be on the Pod. We weren’t sure whether this should be episode 3 or 15. So, we settled on “The Specialsode” and made it both. Henry Ross is one...

The Polaroid Podcast with Michael CodringtonEpisode 13: Derrick HerrickYes, you read that correctly. Derrick. Herrick. Herrick grew up in Louisiana, and spent the first 14 years of his life in the extremely family- oriented Cajun Culture. The move lined up with Herrick’s basketball development, as he recalls grabbing a rim in 8th grade for the first time. His athleticism always shined through, and he eventually high jumped 6’ and 2” in the offseason. (Track sidebar: The maximum legal wind is 2.0 Meters/second. )He was just having fun with it, in his own words, but people began to ignite his curiosity surrounding his potential and aspirations. Herrick began to see just how fa...

That brings me to episode 10’s guest, track legend David Oliver. I know him as “Coach Oliver”, “Coach”, or “DO”, but he is a household name in the realm of Track and Field.

Amiri could’ve been placed for a multitude, because his abundance of talent and drive is never outdone by his humble and down to Earth attitude. Amiri was one of just under 30 new 11th graders in the class of 2018 at Andover and certainly a big addition. He had already expressed interests in journalism, music, and hockey. The majority of his schooling prior to 11th grade was at home, thanks to his Mother. Amiri uses Education as the springboard for our conversation. We...

Homecoming8. A Conversation About Black and Asian Solidarity (Pt. 2)This episode comes a day after Juneteenth (June 19), a holiday that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the U.S. and celebrates Black American/African American freedom and achievement. However, it’s also a reminder that we have a long way to go in seeking racial justice—we must acknowledge the ways that modern-day slavery presents itself and the contemporary oppression that Black people face. What is needed is sustained celebration and support—Black lives matter, not just today, but always—but many people out there may not know how exactly to go about doing that. So I asked my...
2020-06-201h 01Homecoming7. A Conversation About Black and Asian Solidarity (Pt. 1)The murder of George Floyd and the mass protests that have been happening all over the country have pushed many Asian/Americans and other non-Black people to begin having difficult conversations about the biases, racism, and anti-Blackness that exist within themselves and their own communities. Although this is great to see, what is needed is sustained support—Black lives matter, not just today, but always—but many people out there may not know how exactly to go about doing that. So I asked my friends Emily Ndiokho, Amiri Tulloch, Michael Codrington, and Jungwoo Park to join me to have a co...
