Joan BaezEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Julia is joined by 85-year-old folk legend and lifelong activist Joan Baez, who is still dancing, still showing up, and still refusing to be quiet. They talk about singing before a quarter million people at the March on Washington in 1963, what made Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. laugh, and what real courage feels like from the inside. Joan opens up about her decades-long struggle with anxiety, forgiveness, and dissociative identity disorder. Oh, and she sings. Three times. Afterwards, Julia calls her 92-year-old mom Judy — who, it turns out, was playing folk music on a portable Victrola in Sri Lanka when Julia was young.

En este episodio conversamos con Joan Báez, de Báez Mueses Inmobiliaria, sobre su interesante transición de la ingeniería civil al mundo del real estate, y cómo esa base técnica le ha dado una ventaja única en el mercado. Hablamos de sus inicios, los retos que enfrentó al cambiar de industria y las lecciones que ha aprendido en el camino.

Además, profundizamos en el auge de las torres, el comportamiento del mercado actual y cómo mantenerse atento a los cambios del sector. Una conversación llena de experiencia, estrategia y visión, donde también nos cuenta sobre su enfoque de asesoría personalizada y qué lo diferencia dentro de la industria.

Dans cet épisode de « La voix est livre », Nicolas Carreau reçoit le poète et chanteur Joan Baez, venu présenter son recueil Quand tu verras ma mère, invite-la à danser , publié en version bilingue et traduit par Anne‑Laure Tissu. Entre confidences sur son état de santé et humour discret, l’artiste raconte comment sa poésie s’ancre dans des souvenirs d’enfance et dans la guérison de traumatismes, parfois écrits comme un exorcisme intérieur. Il lit notamment le poème « Bébé », où il évoque ses débuts scéniques difficiles malgré sa carrière internationale. Avec sensibilité, Joan Baez parle aussi du silence hérité de son éducation quaker, ainsi que de la Californie et de Big Sur, sources majeures de son inspiration. Un échange intime et lumineux qui dévoile un artiste introspectif, attaché autant aux mots qu’aux paysages qui l’ont façonné.

Happy New Year! This week, we’re revisiting an episode we recorded back in September with the iconic folk singer, songwriter, and activist, Joan Baez. Please enjoy! We’ll be back with new episodes next week. Legendary singer and activist Joan Baez still marches in protests; but she also performs in a circus, dances with drag queens and does whatever else she can to maintain a sense of joy and laughter. Baez has spent her career equally at home on the political frontlines as behind a guitar. But as the world has changed, so has how she calculates risk. She thinks if she were to be arrested now – as opposed to 58 years ago – it would be “scary in a way that I was not scared back then.” But, she tells Nicolle, “social change cannot happen until somebody's willing to take a risk."

Comme une conversation qui naît tard dans la nuit avec une amie, ce recueil dessine, poème après poème, un autoportrait en vers et en prose de cette grande artiste et nous fait voir, le temps d’une soirée, le monde à travers ses yeux de rêveuse. Joan Baez est une icône incontournable, une force de la nature. Reine du folk, son énergie et ses chansons ont marqué l’histoire de la musique, la conduisant au Rock & Roll Hall of Fame en 2017. Son engagement de tous les instants lui a valu en 2015 le prix d’Ambassadrice de la Conscience, la plus haute distinction décernée par Amnesty International.

Dans cet épisode de La Voix est Livre , Nicolas Carreau reçoit Joan Baez , artiste aux multiples talents (poésie, peinture, musique), pour parler de son recueil Quand tu verras ma mère, invite-la à danser . Elle évoque son parcours marqué par l’enfance, ses amitiés avec des légendes comme Jimi Hendrix et Bob Dylan, et la puissance de la poésie comme exutoire et arme politique. L’entretien explore aussi son rapport au silence, hérité de la tradition quaker, et son lien profond avec Paris, source d’inspiration. Une conversation riche sur la création, l’engagement et la quête de sérénité. À retenir : Poésie et engagement : Joan Baez utilise ses textes pour dénoncer les dérives politiques, notamment sous Trump. Silence et spiritualité : Influence quaker, recherche de sérénité dans un monde bruyant. Paris, ville inspirante : Une relation intime avec la Ville Lumière qui marque son œuvre.

Du 3 décembre au 5 décembre, Emmanuel Macron, est en visite d'État en Chine pour rencontrer son homologue, Xi Jinping. La question du positionnement de la Chine dans la guerre en Ukraine a été rapidement balayée par Xi Jinping laissant place au débat sur le déséquilibre commercial avec l'Europe. La composition de la délégation française, six ministres et 35 patrons de grands groupes comme Airbus, EDF, Danone et CMA CGM, témoigne des enjeux économiques de cette visite. En pleine guerre commerciale avec les États-Unis, la France et l'Europe font également face à leur dépendance vis-à-vis de la Chine. La commission européenne a présenté, mercredi 3 décembre, un plan pour réduire cette dépendance, notamment, en matière de terres rares.

This week on “The Nonviolent Jesus Podcast,” I speak with my friend of 35 years, legendary folk singer Joan Baez. She’s a lifelong activist for peace, justice, civil and human rights, and an equally passionate believer in nonviolence. She has released over 30 albums, traveled the world singing for peace for over 60 years, published a great autobiography called “And a Voice to Sing With,” and recently published her first collection of poems, “When you see my mother, ask her to dance.” Joan performed Woodstock, opened Live Aid, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. PBS did a spectacular biography of her which I recommend called “How Sweet the Sound,” and she was featured recently in the Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown,” brilliantly played by actress Monica Barbaro. I’ve always thought she should be awarded the Nobel peace prize for all the great good she’s done in the world. She was a close friend of Dr. King; arrested for protesting the Vietnam war; went to Hanoi, and was bombed by the US. She has been against all our wars and injustices because she has a lifelong commitment to nonviolence. Listen as Joan reveals how her Quaker parents influenced her early childhood and the effect of living in Baghdad for a year and how a meeting with long time peace activist Ira Sandperl, and later hearing Dr. King speak at her high school, changed her life forever. Joan is surprisingly candid when it comes to sharing her own failings and how meditation has become a crucial part of her daily routine. When I asked her about founding “The Institute for the Study of Nonviolence” in the 1960s, she talked about the one hour requirement of sitting in silence each morning. “Many people had their first acquaintance with nonviolence through that experience of silence,” she says. Her honesty is disarming and reflects how many of us feel today. She also shares personal anecdotes about Dorothy Day, Thomas Merton, Dr. King and her experience with Vaclav Havel and the Czech Republic’s Velvet Revolution. Listen in as she quotes Gandhi and T.S. Elliot when encouraging me and all of us to be activists, and then reads me her new poem, “This Is Not Optimism.” As a fan of Joan Baez since the age of five, I was thrilled when we concluded by reading together her brilliant 1960s essay, “What Would You Do If," a dialogue about the threat of personal assault. Finally, when I ask her for any parting thoughts for our listeners, Joan breaks into song, singing the Civil Rights anthem, “Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around”, guaranteed to give you chills! At 84, Joan Baez is still carrying her “shining light out into the shit storm,” as she puts it, and I feel blessed and grateful to know her even better from this podcast. Please share it with all your folk music loving, peace activist, and nonviolent Jesus following friends, and take heart once more! www.joanbaez.com

Hola qué tal? Saludos de Luychy desde La Buhardilla Del Bohemio. El verano es tiempo de música, de recuerdos y de emociones que trascienden generaciones. Hoy viajamos al pasado para revivir un concierto legendario, ‘Joan Baez’ acompañada por la inigualable ‘Mimi Fariña’, en el Greek Theatre de Berkeley, el 2 de junio de 1974. En una noche mágica, estas dos artistas regalaron un repertorio que abarcó desde himnos de protesta hasta baladas que acarician el alma. Canciones como “Gracias a la vida”, “Forever Young” y “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” entre otras, resonaron en el aire, llevando al público en un viaje de sensibilidad y compromiso. La química entre ‘Joan’ y ‘Mimi’, hermanas en la vida y en la música, hizo de esta presentación un momento único, donde la poesía y la guitarra se entrelazaron con la historia. Hoy, en La Buhardilla Del Bohemio, rescatamos esa esencia, trayendo de vuelta la magia de un concierto que sigue vibrando en el corazón de quienes lo vivieron y de quienes, a través de estas ondas, lo descubrirán por primera vez. Bienvenidos a un viaje sonoro que nos transporta a la esencia de la música en vivo. 01 - Joan Baez - Johnny, I Hardly Knew Yeh (Single) 02 - Joan Baez - Where Is My Apple Pie (Single) 03 - Joan Baez & Mimi Farina - Ain't You Got A Right 04 - Joan Baez & Mimi Farina - Blessed Are 05 - Joan Baez & Mimi Farina - Forever Young 06 - Joan Baez & Mimi Farina - Gracias A La Vida 07 - Joan Baez & Mimi Farina – Kumbaya 08 - Joan Baez & Mimi Farina - Less Than A Song 09 - Joan Baez & Mimi Farina – Natalia 10 - Joan Baez & Mimi Farina - Oh Happy Day 11 - Joan Baez & Mimi Farina - Prisoner Trilogy (Billy Rose) 12 - Joan Baez & Mimi Farina - The Ballad Of Sacco And Vanzetti 13 - Joan Baez & Mimi Farina - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down 14 - Joan Baez & Mimi Farina - Winds Of The Old Days

Joan Baez és la gran dama del folk global, lluitadora incansable pels drets socials, activista les 24 hores. Avui la sentirem cantar. I, naturalment, no es pot parlar de Joan Baez, sense nomenar Bob Dylan.

We've dressed up and lit 84 birthday candles for Joan Baez this week with a newly refreshed version of our interview at Newport Folk Festival six months ago. Newport was where an 18 year old Joan Baez got her start in 1959, and where she returned last summer for the first time since 2009 to share some of her poems from her new poetry book, When You See My Mother Ask Her To Dance. She reads from her book during our conversation, and treats us to a powerful impromptu a-capella song.

It's been. more than thirty years since I did this phone interview with Joan Baez. I'm reposting it because of the release of the movie A Complete Unknown. I'd prefer to listen to the real Joan Baez, telling her own story and touching on her time with Bob

Maggie and Joan discuss Joan's latest book "When You See My Mother, Ask her to Dance" And we discuss her beautiful artistic legacy and political activism. Including the documentary Joan Baez: I Am a Noise Neither a conventional biopic nor a traditional concert film, Joan Baez I Am A Noise is a raw and intimate portrait of the legendary folk singer and activist that shifts back and forth through time as it follows Joan on her final tour and delves into her extraordinary archive, including newly discovered home movies, diaries, artwork, therapy tapes, and audio recordings.

She is known as the voice of a generation. The Queen of Folk. A legend. An icon, the one who sang “We Shall Overcome” alongside Martin Luther King Jr. at the 1963 March on Washington. As much as anyone, Joan Baez embodied the spirit of that decade of soaring dreams and songs and dramas set in motion that echo through this world of ours. Meanwhile, her love affair with a young Minnesota singer-songwriter calling himself Bob Dylan, whose career she pivotally helped launch, is also reentering the public imagination with a big new movie. And her classic heartbreak hit about him, “Diamonds and Rust,” is topping global charts anew. But Joan Baez at 83 is so much more intriguing than her projection as a legend. She grew up the daughter of a Mexican physicist father and a Scottish mother in a seemingly idyllic family. But even at the height of her fame, she was struggling mightily with mysterious interior demons. She and her beloved sisters finally reckoned in midlife with a truth of abuse they had buried, even in memory, at great cost. She has reckoned with fracture inside herself and been on an odyssey of wholeness. She is frank and funny, irreverent and wise. Among other gifts, she offers a refreshing way in to what it means to sing and live the reality of “overcoming,” personal and civilizational. Krista spoke with Joan on stage at the 2024 Chicago Humanities Festival. Joan Baez published her first (wonderful) book of poetry at the age of 83: When You See My Mother, Ask Her to Dance . She was one of the leading artists of the 1960s folk revival, and brought her voice to the Civil Rights and anti-war movements of that decade. She performed for over 60 years, releasing more than 30 albums. She has won scores of awards and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. In addition to her poetry, she has published a book of drawings, Am I Pretty When I Fly?: An Album of Upside Down Drawings , and painted a series of portraits called Mischief Makers .
