The Teddy Roosevelt Show
Friday, Jan. 13 – 7p.m.
Joe Wiegand is the world’s premiere Theodore Roosevelt reprisor. As an actor
and historian, Wiegand’s portrayals of Roosevelt in live performances have been
enjoyed in all fifty states and internationally.
Spend an evening with Teddy Roosevelt that will help you understand who he
was and how his leadership and activism were natural outgrowths of his life
experience. His larger-than-life personality helped him in many ways to become
one of the most respected and successful presidents of the U.S.
Registration opens Nov. 1
U.S. Healthcare from an International Perspective
Friday, Jan. 27 – 7p.m.
How does the U.S. healthcare system stack up against other developed
nations? Is it the best? What is fact versus fiction when it comes to global
healthcare? Is there a perfect system? As healthcare costs continue to rise,
have you ever wondered why costs vary so much between Canada and the
U.S., especially for drug coverage? What can other countries learn from the
U.S. and vice versa?
Natalie Landman, Ph.D. and Robert Smoldt, M.B.A. will try to answer those
questions and provide insight into the best and the worst practices of our U.S.
healthcare system, an important topic to all Americans. As two respected and
knowledgeable healthcare professionals, Landman and Smoldt will help clear
up any confusion or misunderstanding we may have regarding healthcare.
Registration opens Nov. 1
Page 4 | 2022-2023
Setting the Record Straight – The Rosa Parks Story
Friday, Feb. 24 – 7p.m.
Rosa Parks invigorated the struggle for racial equality when she refused to give up her bus seat to a
white man in Montgomery, Alabama. Parks’ arrest on Dec. 1, 1955, launched
the Montgomery Bus Boycott by 17,000 Black citizens.
Parks was a remarkable blend of stoicism and vulnerability, intelligence, anger
and civility. She was more than what most textbooks describe. Becky Stone
will give her this chance to change that image to set the record straight.
Stone will present an in-character presentation of Rosa Parks and help us
understand who she was, how her activism was a natural outgrowth of her life
experience and her place in United States history.
Registration opens Jan. 1
The Speed of Light – A story of hope, overcoming obstacles and daring to dream!
Friday, Mar. 3 – 7p.m.
What is it that compels us to “fight for our life?” When all seems hopeless, we fight to survive, and not
only survive, but thrive!
Brian Shul tells his compelling story of living fearlessly and embracing
opportunities presented each day. Shul was shot down in the Vietnam War and
was severely burned upon crashing. He was rescued and miraculously survived.
After many surgeries and grueling therapy, he was able to return to active
duty, one of only 89 personnel to fly SR-71 spy planes, the fastest plane ever
built.
Via stories and slides, Shul shares the broader, inspired story of hope, overcoming
obstacles and daring to dream. This one-of-a-kind presentation will both inspire
and educate.

Oct. 17: Understanding the Origins of the War in Ukraine
Yan Mann, Ph.D., clinical assistant professor, School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies at
ASU will help us understand whether the invasion of Ukraine is a continuation of the frozen conflict in
Eastern Ukraine since 2014 or due to something else, including the background that led up to this war.
Mann will analyze Russia’s relationship with Ukraine and the reasons why this war began.
Oct. 24: “We the People” – Today and Tomorrow
The United States of America has long touted itself as a land of immigrants and has grown phenomenally
through immigration since its beginning. Yet the source and substance of immigration have been
topics of continuous debate since. Thomas J. Davis, an historian, lawyer and professor emeritus at ASU,
will discuss the basic questions of what it means to be an American and how immigrants fit into the
American Dream.
Oct. 31: Día de los Muertos | Day of the Dead
Join Zarco Guerrero, sculptor, mask maker and performance artist as he shares the meaning of Día
de los Muertos through storytelling using his unique masked characters. The characters celebrate

spouting “El Vato Poeta,” the flirtatious “La Comadre,” the clueless “Special Ed,” the wise “El Abuelito”
and other beloved roles.
Nov. 7: How the Goodyear Fire Department Works and the Safety Programs Provided to
Residents

Nov. 14: Southwest Rock Calendars | Ancient Time Pieces “Petroglyphs in Arizona”
Native Americans in the Southwest U.S. developed sophisticated skills in astronomy,
which helped predict the seasons – essential in planting crops. When non-
indigenous peoples entered the region, they discovered amazing petroglyphs
and architecture that helped us understand how Native Americans used “the
skies” to survive.
Archeologist Allen Dart will explore the significance of the petroglyphs at
Picture Rock, the architecture of the Great House at the Casa Grande ruins,
and more.
Page 8 | 2022-2023
Jan. 9: The Future of Cryptocurrency
You may have heard of cryptocurrency or blockchain technology and wondered, “Are they the same
thing or are they different?” Maybe you know someone who has bought bitcoin or is trading digital
currency on the market, and you think, “Should I invest?” What is all the fuss about? Dragan Boscovic, Ph. D.
will explain the components of cryptocurrency and how it is based on blockchain technology.
Jan. 16: Looking Up When Life Is Pushing You Down
We all have had situations where we have been challenged, periods of time when we feel like we have
the weight of the world upon us. Times when it’s more than we want to manage and we wonder, “Is it only
me? Should I not sweat the small stuff? Is this small stuff? If it doesn’t kill me, will it make me stronger?”
Dave Kampfschulte, M.Ed., author and renowned speaker, shares his expertise, wisdom and common
sense in handling and surviving the many challenges that life sends our way.
Jan. 23: Valley Fever | “Something in the Air”
What is this mysterious disease we hear about that starts in some soils? What does valley fever mean
for Arizona residents? Who is most at risk? Should we fear every dust storm? What are the signs and
symptoms? What is the role of public health, in serving the community? Jennifer Collins, M.S. in Public
Health will address these and other questions.
Jan. 30: The Underground and Overground Railroad
Many of you have heard of the Underground Railroad and you may have watched the PBS series “The
Underground Railroad” and heard of the bravery of Harriet Tubman (and many others). But have you
heard of the Overground Railroad? The movie “The Green Book” exposes segregation to travelers prior
to the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Tamika Sanders, Ph.D., uses storytelling, historical artifacts and songs to present the ingenuity and
resilience used by those involved in the Underground Railroad. She will explore “The Green Book”,
which helped foster a network of safe places that allowed Blacks to travel.
Feb. 6: What Happened to the News Reporting I Remember as a Child?
How many of you remember joining your parents to watch the evening news? Today the news cycle is a
never-ending ticker tape, compared to the limited news hours of our youth.
Gilbert Zermeño, investigative producer and award-winning photojournalist
for Channels 3 and 5, will help us understand how removal of the Fairness
Doctrine, invention of AI algorithms, the insatiable greed of corporate
America, and the far-reaching interests of outside investors have co-opted
news stations into “echo chambers.”
Feb. 13: Growing Goodyear | Our Future Is Bright
Goodyear remains one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States with
more people and businesses calling Goodyear home every day. Goodyear

and residential development. She will also highlight major projects in the works and on the horizon for
our great city, such as Goodyear Civic Square at GSQ that opened in the summer of 2022.

Feb. 20: Living to 100 | Lessons Learned From Blue Zones Blue Zones are regions of the world where the healthiest and longest-lived people reside. We live in a 55+ community, where we have many amenities and activities that help to keep us sharp both mentally and physically. Researchers have identified key lifestyle habits that impact quality of life as we move towards that magic number 100. Alex Stark, leading expert in exercise and independent aging, will explore and share those habits and how slight changes in our behaviors can help to ensure that we age, the best we can, and create our own Blue Zone. Feb. 27: Building Media Literacy | The Global Mis and Disinformation Media Landscape More and more we live in an overwhelming time of instant, unchecked information, misinformation, disinformation and possibly propaganda and wonder. Other than throwing your cellphone away, getting off the laptop and not watching TV, what can you do to understand and address what is truth and what is fiction? Juan Mundel explores the effect media misinformation has on society and discusses what we, as citizens, can do to reduce stress and frustration caused by misinformation. Mundel, an associate professor and director of Global Initiatives at the ASU Cronkite School, lectures and conducts research on the effects of the relatively unchecked online “news.” Cronkite Global Initiatives fosters internationalization of the curricula and is home to several U.S. Department of State programs, including the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship and Study of the United States Institutes program. Mar. 6: From Civil Rights to Human Rights What is the difference between civil rights and human rights? Who were all the heroes of the civil rights movement, and do they have any role in global human rights? Stanlie James, Ph.D., author and professor emeritus at ASU, explores the role Black women played in not only the Civil Rights Movement but the bigger global human rights environment. Learn how the actions of a few changed the lives of millions in the United States and throughout the world. Mar. 13: Arizona’s History and Legends Learn about four centuries of Arizona history from Arizona history expert Jim Turner, starting with Hopi and Navajo mythology, followed by Coronado’s search for the Seven Cities of Gold, how Arizona and Tucson got their names, and all about the Golden Age of Spanish ranching. Travel back to the Mexican American War, the Gold Rush and the U.S. Army camel expedition, and hear the tales of the Legend of the Red Ghost. And, of course, no Arizona history is complete without the legend of Wyatt Earp and how the railroad impacted Arizona. Finally, learn about the Navajo Code Talkers. Mar. 20: The Right To Vote in America We are blessed in this country to have the right to vote...do we exercise it? Do we realize how precious that right is? Joshua Sellers, Ph.D., J.D., gives an historical perspective on voting, examining the Founding Era, the Civil War, and the addition of the Reconstruction Amendments to the Constitution, the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, and the significance of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Voting is a vital sign of a healthy democracy – but is it a constitutional inheritance? What do you think? After hearing the voting history of this nation, you may have the answer.
