Part of the joy of oral history is talking with interesting people. This series, Geeking with…, features great conversations with fascinating folks. Edward Austin Hall is a perfect person for the first launch.
Ed is a writer, editor, poet, and journalist living in Atlanta. He co-edited Mothership: Tales from Afrofuturism and Beyond (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0989141144/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0). I talked with Ed as part of an oral history project of authors of color of speculative fiction.
In addition, Ed and I have recorded talks where we’ve discussed all manner of geekdom, but that’s for a different episode.
This is part of Change Over Time, a history podcast where I historically think about things I geek. I’m Daniel Horowitz Garcia, the Alternative Historian.

In a small, non-descript strip mall in the middle of a university neighborhood in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico is a comic book shop. The shop is loud, the tables small. The owner, Gilberto Lopez-Arroyo is neither. His is a stocky man whose voice carries over the cacophony in the store, Capitan Granuja Comics & Games. For a few weeks last year Gilberto’s comic shop became a center of calm. Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico hard. College students were stranded, not knowing what happened to their families. They came to Capitan Granuja to charge their phones and play some games. Gilberto welcomed them all into his capsule of geekdom. This is Change Over Time and the latest installment of the Aftermath series, a look at Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria through the lens of my family. We talk about geeks, and how the community can help even when you don’t know it can.

On January 28, 2017 Donald Trump signed an executive order banning certain people from certain countries from coming into the US. Popularly called a Muslim Travel Ban, the order was met with immediate nationwide protests. This is a selection of interviews from the Atlanta airport protests held on January 29, 2017.
As this episodes goes online the administration is preparing to define transgender people out of existence, the attack on immigrants continues, Flint, Michigan still doesn’t have clean water, and Puerto Rico and other hurricane impacted areas are on their own. There's a lot of political work to do, and Feeling Political takes a look at how to do it.
This episode is part of the Feeling Political series, a collection that examines the intersection of feelings, politics, and action. Future episodes of Change Over Time in this series will talk about organizing strategies, visions for a new future, and maybe even hope. Stay tuned and check in regularly at changeovertimepodcast.com

When the Inauguration came I did the only reasonable thing I could think of: I ran to my mommy. We will hear from Doña Edna, a retired RN, former union member, Independista, and my mom. Also, I interviewed Walda Katz-Fishman. Walda is a professor and one of the founders of Project South (www.projectsouth.org). She doesn’t pull any punches in this episode about what the political situation is going to be. But she also speaks plainly about what we need to do. This episode is another in the Feeling Political series, a collection that looks at the interaction of emotion, politics, and action.

This episode launches the Feeling Political series on Change Over Time. Feeling Political explores the interaction between politics, emotions, and action. The series is based on an old podcast of the same name. It features short interviews with various people.

I start with my mother, Doña Edna Garcia. I had visited Puerto Rico at Thanksgiving last year to see my family and I shoved a microphone in their faces. I talk with my mom about what it was like after Maria hit but mostly about how the politics of the island could change. Originally I aired this as two episodes, but I’ve combined them here. I also refer back to a conversation I had with Dr. Jacob Remes in Disasters, a bonus episode. If you haven’t heard that interview, don’t worry. This will make sense. But you should listen to it because it’s good. Jacob is really smart.

How do you make sense of a disaster? What should we be looking for? Where can I get good mofongo in Atlanta? I found the answers to these questions by going to Buen Provecho restaurant and talking with Jacob Remes, a disaster historian. Buen Provecho, a Puerto Rican restaurant in the Atlanta suburbs, is one of two sites for donation drop off for the island. The owner Elmer Pasapera put out a call on social media and has been flooded with responses. I spent some time at the restaurant to get an idea of what people were doing and thinking. I then interview Dr. Jacob Remes, author of Disaster Citizenship: Survivors, Solidarity, and Power in the Progressive Era, to put this hurricane into historical context. I find out that disasters are socially constructed. This is hopeful news because it means people can organize to change relationships of power. It also turns out that the Taino people, the indigenous culture of Puerto Rico, knew this for thousands of years and created a myth about it.

After taking a hiatus, the podcast is back. The schedule will be different. Instead of attempting to put out content biweekly, I will be dropping a bunch of episodes every few months. Each drop will be around a theme. Sometimes loosely tied to that theme.
This episode also contains a replay of Waiting. One year ago Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. I was unable to contact my family for weeks. I'll be dropping replays from the Aftermath series, episodes where I look at the impact of the storm through the lens of my family. Aftermath will have replays as well as some content that hasn't been aired before. This will be coming out over the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned.

The Aftermath series on Change Over Time continues with more from the conversation with my mother. Aftermath is a multi-part look at Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria through the lens of my family. My mother Doña Edna Garcia talks about the relationship of the US and Puerto Rico, plebiscites, and a bit of history on the Puerto Rican flag. You’ll also here about the move for sovereignty, a potential new political position.

Video games and the industry that make them change over time. That means they have a history.

During the holiday season I’m going to visit my family in Puerto Rico. After Hurricane Maria I’m feeling the need to make sure everyone is OK. I’ll also be taking the time to record interviews and get a sense of the aftermath. Look for future episodes soon. In the meantime, I’m pulling an episode from a different podcast, Feeling Political, where I interviewed my mom about politics. My mom, Doña Edna Garcia, is awesome and that comes through in the interview. This was done in Puerto Rico, in her kitchen, in January 2017. She will be appearing in future episodes, guaranteed.

Tabletop role-playing games are possibly more popular now than ever before. The first truly popular RPG was Dungeons & Dragons, D&D, and more than 20 million worldwide have played it. But D&D is not the only game. In fact, individuals and small companies are creating their own RPG systems and releasing for sale. Dave Lester is making his own game system. Dave’s been a player of RPGs for almost 30 years. This episode is an excerpt of an oral history interview with him. In it I try to understand what keeps people hooked.
