  • “I’ve been locked up all my life” - The Story of Frank Smith: A Globe Magazine Feature
    Aug 7 2025

    Frank Smith is very likely the longest-serving prisoner, ever, in the United States. He spent around 85 years in the justice system. He was in prison for the Battle of Stalingrad, and the liberation of Auschwitz. He was in custody during Elvis’s debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, the opening of the first McDonald’s franchise, the wars in both Korea and Vietnam, and the moon landing. He missed the introduction of credit cards and the September 11th attacks and the invention of the Internet, a development he regards with some suspicion. Almost everyone he knew before he went away is dead.


    This is his story.

  • How Junior Roller Derby Turned a Brutal Sport into a Safe Haven for Kids
    Jul 9 2025

    Block. Jam. Repeat.

    From practice to tournament, host Jazmin Aguilera brings you inside an inclusive roller derby bootcamp where every kid – no matter their background, body type, or skill level – can lace up, roll out, and find their place on the track.

    Turns out, a violent, dangerous sport like roller derby is a prime environment for emotional growth while also being fun to play. Somehow the combination of self-policing and emphasis on emotional regulation keeps roller derby an inclusive and welcoming environment, skaters say. And it’s precisely because of that commitment that skaters can explore their inner fierceness and individuality. And isn’t that for everyone?
