Speaker 1: in what position do you play on basketball on your
Speaker 1: basketball team? Center? Nice? Center? So I don't know much

Speaker 1: is the person who starts with the ball. Oh wow.
Speaker 1: So if you wanted, you could just take it leave
Speaker 1: and it would be yours and then you win the
Speaker 1: game because whoever leaves the auditorium with the ball with

Speaker 1: they play in. Yeah, and also with us today we
Speaker 1: have Charlie. Charlie, please introduce yourself. Hello, I'm Charlie and
Speaker 1: I like history and running my bike. Oh okay, where
Speaker 1: is your favorite place to ride your bike? Just around
Speaker 1: the neighborhood? Okay, so it's not like a mountain bike
Speaker 1: or like a motocross. You like a space bike that
Speaker 1: would go to other planets. It would be super core,
Speaker 1: like an aqua bike that even news to go underwater. Charlie,
Speaker 1: what is your favorite time in history to study? Really
Speaker 1: like learning about like BC before ancient times. And I
Speaker 1: also liked learning about like late nineties, like the eighties
Speaker 1: in the nineties. Okay, what's one interesting thing you could
Speaker 1: share with us about the late eighties and early nineties.
Speaker 1: The eighties in total were like a big a bit
Speaker 1: music generation. I have a question for you, which time
Speaker 1: period would you rather ride your bike through b c
Speaker 1: Like ancient times or the nineteen eighties. Ancient times? Oh yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: You're you'd be riding past the pyramids and the pharaoh
Speaker 1: would be like what is that and they would think
Speaker 1: you were a wizard or something amazing. It would be
Speaker 1: kind of gangs. Oh okay, so maybe you should stick
Speaker 1: to the eighties. I don't know, just when there's a
Speaker 1: lot of good music to listen to while you're biking,
Speaker 1: rather than going through ancient times. You know, that's good
Speaker 1: advice for kids. Kids. If you go to ancient times,
Speaker 1: don't bring your bike, they're going to be confused by it.
Speaker 1: And if you go to medieval times a restaurant, don't
Speaker 1: bring your bike because you're sitting in a seat because
Speaker 1: it's not allowed. Yeah, they have bike parking outside though,
Speaker 1: as everybody knows, Yeah, just like they did in real

Speaker 1: In this game, we will play a sound effect inspired
Speaker 1: by something important from Maya's life, and our contestants will
Speaker 1: tell us what the sound represents. Since this is our
Speaker 1: first game, each question is worth one point. Okay, Lucy,
Speaker 1: this first sound is for you, and let's hear it.
Speaker 1: That sounded like a train. How does the train relate
Speaker 1: to Maya's life? Is it a the sound of the
Speaker 1: train that Maya took to live with her grandmother. Or
Speaker 1: be Maya loved collecting toy trains as a kid. That's right,
Speaker 1: The answer is A. When Maya was three and her
Speaker 1: brother Bailey was four, their parents separated and they were
Speaker 1: sent by train to live with their grandmother. Ten years later,
Speaker 1: Maya and Bailey would go back to live in with
Speaker 1: their mother in San Francisco because Maya's grandmother felt life
Speaker 1: would be better in California, away from the segregated south
Speaker 1: of the United States. Charlie, this next sound is for you,
Speaker 1: all right? That sounds like some calypso music. What significance
Speaker 1: does calypso music have in Maya's life? A she won
Speaker 1: a scholarship to Calypso College. Or be she was a
Speaker 1: popular Calypso performer at the famous Purple Onion nightclub in
Speaker 1: San Francisco. B. That's right, The answer is B. When
Speaker 1: she was young, Maya stopped speaking for five years after
Speaker 1: traumatic experience, but reading books by authors like Charles Dickens
Speaker 1: Allowed and reciting poetry helped her literally find her voice again.
Speaker 1: She then went on to discover more performing arts like
Speaker 1: music and dance, even performing with Black dance pioneer Alvin Ailey.
Speaker 1: She became a smash success on stage, eventually joining the
Speaker 1: cast of the show Poor He invests on a twenty
Speaker 1: two nation tour. Lucy, this next one's for you. Okay, Lucy?

Speaker 1: to Maya Angelo's life A she was heavily involved in
Speaker 1: the civil rights movement. Or be she wrote newspaper stories
Speaker 1: about protests. That's right, The answer is A. Nine sixty.
Speaker 1: Maya and her friends comedian Godfrey Cambridge went to see
Speaker 1: Dr Martin Luther King speak. Maya was immediately inspired. She
Speaker 1: and Godfrey put together show they called Cabaret for Freedom.
Speaker 1: It featured black singers and dancers and raised nine thousand
Speaker 1: dollars for Dr King's cause. This led to Maya working
Speaker 1: directly with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference as their regional director. Okay,
Speaker 1: this last sound is for you, Charlie. Okay. Sounds like
Speaker 1: a bird tweeting. How does that relate to Maya's life A.
Speaker 1: Maya's favorite hobby was bird watching or be the title
Speaker 1: of Maya's first book mentions a bird B. That's right,
Speaker 1: The answer is B. Maya is the author of I
Speaker 1: Know Why the Caged Bird sings. That book was her
Speaker 1: first autobiography, the story about her life told by herself,
Speaker 1: and it was a huge success. The stories Maya told
Speaker 1: about her childhood were sad but also had hope. Maya felt,
Speaker 1: no matter how hard life got, people can survive and
Speaker 1: find happiness. The book was published in nineteen nine and
Speaker 1: it was a big bestseller. Maya became a very successful
Speaker 1: writer and that was a very successful sound effects Safari.
Speaker 1: Great job, both of you. That was a great first game.
Speaker 1: Let's go to producer Jane now with our scores so far.
Speaker 1: Producer Jane, where the scores? Elliott B. I've got to
Speaker 1: tell you we're all tied up with two points each. Nice.
Speaker 1: A game can't get closer than that. Thank you, Jane.
Speaker 1: It's literally anyone's game as long as that anyone is
Speaker 1: Charlie or Lucy, because they're the only ones playing the
Speaker 1: game right now. So we're going to take a short
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back with Laura Who Was? Podcast? Eric,
Speaker 1: can you play us some poetry music pleas the rhyming time?
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Who Was? Podcast? Today we're learning
Speaker 1: all about two writers who would like a word, Maya
Speaker 1: Angelo and Laura Ingalls Wilder And now back to your host,
Speaker 1: Elliot Klin. Thanks be. Let's keep this covered wagon a
Speaker 1: rolling on as we find out who was Laura Ingles
Speaker 1: Wilder with four fast facts. Laura Ingles Wilder was born
Speaker 1: in eighteen sixty seven and died in nineteen fifty seven.
Speaker 1: She started writing The Little House Books based on her
Speaker 1: experiences growing up in the American Frontier when she was
Speaker 1: in her sixties. Laura's books gave people a peek into
Speaker 1: the ups and downs of life on the American Frontier.
Speaker 1: To this day, Laura is one of the world's most
Speaker 1: beloved children's authors. Fools. Okay, let's keep the momentum going
Speaker 1: with our next game. It's called hashtag history. Hashtag history.
Speaker 1: Hashtag history, hashtag history, hashtag history. Okay, contestants in this game,
Speaker 1: b will read you a hashtag Laura Ingalls Wilder might
Speaker 1: have used on her social media if they had had
Speaker 1: social media when she was growing up a hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty years ago, and you will tell us what it's about.
Speaker 1: And since this is our second round, each question is
Speaker 1: worth two points. Be if you would. Okay, Charlie, the
Speaker 1: first hashtag is for you, and the hashtag is hashtag
Speaker 1: schoolwork with Laura. Use this hashtag because A she built
Speaker 1: a school with her own two hands. Or B she
Speaker 1: was once a teacher herself. B. That's right. The answer
Speaker 1: is B. At the age of just fifteen, Laura was
Speaker 1: asked to become a school teacher. She wasn't really interested
Speaker 1: in teaching, but took the job due to how much
Speaker 1: it would help the family's finances. She was a student
Speaker 1: and a teacher at the exact same time. M M,
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a movie in there. B. What's
Speaker 1: a great title for that movie? Thing three? I'd see
Speaker 1: that movie? Okay. Laura's next hashtag is for you, Lucy.
Speaker 1: The second hashtag is hashtag sawd Save America with Laura.
Speaker 1: Used this hashtag because A she had a podcast about landscaping.
Speaker 1: Or BE she lived in a house made of sod
Speaker 1: B that's right. The answer is be. Laura lived many
Speaker 1: places during her childhood, and one of those places was
Speaker 1: a house made out of sad bricks held together by
Speaker 1: the thick prairie grass. That means everything was made out
Speaker 1: of dirt. That's what sad is is dirt. The house
Speaker 1: is made out of dirt, and the ceiling was grass.
Speaker 1: Once the family ox ran across the grassroof and its
Speaker 1: leg came right through the ceiling. Just try to focus
Speaker 1: on being a teacher and a student at the same
Speaker 1: time when ox legs are coming out of this feeling
Speaker 1: at you, I dare you, Charlie Europe. Next. The next
Speaker 1: hashtag is hashtag Pioneer and Far with Laura used this
Speaker 1: hashtag because A she and her family were pioneers, or
Speaker 1: b she and her family decided to change their last
Speaker 1: name to pioneer. Hey, that's right. The answer is A.
Speaker 1: When Laura was seven, she and her family traveled west
Speaker 1: by covered wagon. There are no cars or roads back then,
Speaker 1: so when people moved across the country, they traveled by
Speaker 1: wagons pulled by horses on wagon trails, which were just
Speaker 1: the tracks of wagons that had traveled in that same
Speaker 1: direction before you. At the time, many pioneer families like
Speaker 1: Laura's thought that they were settling an open, uninhabited frontier,
Speaker 1: which was a very unpleasant surprise to the indigenous people
Speaker 1: who were already living out there. Lucy, this final hashtag
Speaker 1: is yours. The final hashtag is hashtag ice ice Baby
Speaker 1: with Laura used this hashtag because A she and her
Speaker 1: family crossed her frozen river, or be she loved making
Speaker 1: baby sky snowman. That's right. The answer is a because
Speaker 1: everybody was making a baby size snowmen. But when Laura
Speaker 1: was a girl, her family moved to Minnesota. They moved
Speaker 1: during the winter, and her father wanted to take their
Speaker 1: covered wagon across the frozen Mississippi River. However, due to
Speaker 1: an illness, the ingles is is left later than planned
Speaker 1: and the ice was much thinner than they wanted it
Speaker 1: to be. Laura never forgot the sound of the creaking
Speaker 1: and crackling ice, but they made it no more, Mr
Speaker 1: ice guy. And that's hashtag history, hashtag history, hashtag that
Speaker 1: was great. You both did so well. Yeah, great job
Speaker 1: both of you. Fantastic. We're gonna take a break and
Speaker 1: then we're going to get the scores from producer Jane.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited for the break. I know, b you
Speaker 1: always try and see how much gum you can fit
Speaker 1: in your mouth before we come back. Well that too,
Speaker 1: but also because we have a new sponsor. Oh that
Speaker 1: is exciting. Well, let's hear that word from our sponsor.
Speaker 1: We've got a new sky cool Laura Ingalls Wilder here.

Speaker 1: houses is that they're just too big? Well, come on

Speaker 1: show you a vaster array of little houses for any occasion.
Speaker 1: Need a little house for your Shetland, Pony, get up,

Speaker 1: of Big Brother where all the contestants are squirrels. They
Speaker 1: may not be here to make friends, but we're here
Speaker 1: to make that sale. Maybe you just want to feel
Speaker 1: like a giant monster and smash a house. I think
Speaker 1: that's super cool, And we've got the little house for you,
Speaker 1: and for a limited time, by a little house, and
Speaker 1: the bathroom is included free of charge, because when I
Speaker 1: was growing up, bathrooms were outside the house and that
Speaker 1: was uncomfortable. You set it, Pony, That's Laura's Little House Emporium,
Speaker 1: because little houses aren't just for the prairie anymore. A
Speaker 1: free bathroom, Elliott, let me borrow your credit card for
Speaker 1: totally unrelated reasons. Oh wait, hold on, we have another
Speaker 1: new sponsor. Wow, good to know we're popular. Roll it.
Speaker 1: I'm Maya Angelo, actor, activist and author my memoir I
Speaker 1: know why the Cage Bird Sings was all about realizing
Speaker 1: a better future beyond the walls the world has placed
Speaker 1: around me. I also famously once said love recognizes no barriers.
Speaker 1: That's why I've decided to bring you Maya's Open plan
Speaker 1: dulling places for humans with an open plan simply a
Speaker 1: roof and a wall or two. But Maya, you say,
Speaker 1: isn't that a garage? Well, friend, I'd call it a
Speaker 1: space to create, but you could call it a garage
Speaker 1: if you drive a are into it. They're great for
Speaker 1: tennis players, volleyball players, handball players, badminton players, and even
Speaker 1: piano plays. Just listen to those acoustics better than the
Speaker 1: sound system at the U. S. Capitol. I can tell
Speaker 1: you m M makes me want to try them out
Speaker 1: for myself with one of my own poems. I've got
Speaker 1: magic charm that I keep up my sleeve. I can
Speaker 1: walk the ocean floor and never have to grieve. Life
Speaker 1: doesn't frighten me at all, Not at all, Not at all.
Speaker 1: Life doesn't frighten me at all. For a limited time,
Speaker 1: when you order one of Maya's open plan dwellings, we'll
Speaker 1: throw in a door that's Maya's open plan where we
Speaker 1: make room for you. I gotta get me one of
Speaker 1: those doors. I recommend you put it on your Christmas

Speaker 1: Today we're talking about Maya Angelo and Laura Ingles Wilder.
Speaker 1: Now back to your house, elliott A, thank you be.
Speaker 1: We've got our rip roaring game going, so without further Ado,
Speaker 1: let's go to the little house in the Big scores
Speaker 1: with producer Jane who has the scores. Elliott B. I
Speaker 1: don't mind telling you it's a very very close competition. Uh,
Speaker 1: Lucy has six and Charlie has six. I can't get
Speaker 1: any closer than that. It can't. That's the closest to
Speaker 1: competition could possibly get. The only way it could be
Speaker 1: closer is if there was only one contestant. So there's
Speaker 1: only one score. So it's so close that it's the
Speaker 1: same score. But then why do it? Why do a
Speaker 1: game show where there's just one contestant ship It doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense. You know who, You're just gonna win
Speaker 1: ahead of time, although there's something kind of comforting about
Speaker 1: that in this world of uncertainty. Thank you, Jane. Those
Speaker 1: are some exciting scores, so exciting that I can't wait
Speaker 1: to get into our exciting final game, Converge of Greatness.
Speaker 1: In this multiple choice game B, we'll read questions where
Speaker 1: are two historical figures overlap or converge? And because we're
Speaker 1: covering two times the history, this game is worth three
Speaker 1: points for each question. Pick the best option as your answer. Lucy.
Speaker 1: The first question is for you take it away be
Speaker 1: both Maya Angelo and Laura Ingalls Wilder lived in many
Speaker 1: different cities. Maya moved around even into adulthood, and even
Speaker 1: left the US to live in which historically significant city
Speaker 1: A Cairo, Egypt, b Athens, Greece or see Mosespa tattooed
Speaker 1: in A That's right, the answer is a. Maya and
Speaker 1: her son Guy moved to Cairo, Egypt with her partner,
Speaker 1: who sum Ze Make, who had been working to end
Speaker 1: segregation in South Africa. At the same time, Maya had
Speaker 1: been working with the civil rights movement in the United States.
Speaker 1: It was around this same time Maya founded the Cultural
Speaker 1: Association for Women of African Heritage. Maya went on to
Speaker 1: be the editor of the Arab Observer in English magazine
Speaker 1: in Egypt. Mosespa tattooing is from Star Wars. Actually so
Speaker 1: it is a fictionally significant city Charlie, Europe. Next. Maya
Speaker 1: and Laura were both very close to their siblings. For
Speaker 1: Maya it was her older brother Bailey, who actually gave
Speaker 1: her the nickname of Maya. For Laura it was her
Speaker 1: older sister Mary. In fact, Laura became a teacher to
Speaker 1: help support her sister after she A became death be lost.
Speaker 1: The use of her legs or see became blind, see
Speaker 1: can blonde? That's right, The answer is see. Laura and
Speaker 1: her sister Mary were very close, and when Mary lost
Speaker 1: her sight after a bad fever, Laura took the teaching
Speaker 1: job she didn't really want, specifically to help pay for
Speaker 1: Mary to go to a school for the blind in Iowa.
Speaker 1: Laura would struggle with poverty for most of her life,
Speaker 1: and she and her husband often worked many jobs to
Speaker 1: support their family. Before Laura wrote her little house books
Speaker 1: Lucy Back to You. Both Maya and Laura had pretty
Speaker 1: important jobs when they were fifteen. Laura, of course, was
Speaker 1: a teacher, and Maya took a job as a a
Speaker 1: a cable car conductor, be a can decaying courier, or
Speaker 1: see a cardboard carpenter. That's right, the answer is a.
Speaker 1: At fifteen, Maya decided to take some time off of
Speaker 1: high school, and after going to the railway offices for months,
Speaker 1: she finally convinced them to hire her as the first
Speaker 1: black conductor in San Francisco. That's right. She did every
Speaker 1: single job. After one semester as a conductor, Maya decided
Speaker 1: it was important to go back and finished school. Okay,
Speaker 1: Charlie here's the last question. Both Maya and Laura wrote
Speaker 1: books that were autobiographical, but Laura wrote an entire series
Speaker 1: of books based on her life. The first book in
Speaker 1: that series is called A Laura's Little House Adventures be
Speaker 1: Little House in the Big Woods or see the Littlest
Speaker 1: House You've Ever seen in your whole life? B Yep,
Speaker 1: that's it. The answer is be Little House in the
Speaker 1: Big Woods was Laura's first book, and it was about
Speaker 1: life from the log cabin in which she was born.
Speaker 1: It was released in ninety two, when Laura was sixty
Speaker 1: five years old. It was this excess and Laura would
Speaker 1: get fan letters from young readers from all over. She
Speaker 1: would go on to write eight books in the Gooble
Speaker 1: House series, and her life would inspire the Little House
Speaker 1: TV shows, films, and even more spinoff books. That's right.
Speaker 1: It's as if the Marvel universe was a real thing
Speaker 1: that happened to a real person. And that's converge of
Speaker 1: greatness and that sound means right at the end of
Speaker 1: the game and the end of the show, while we
Speaker 1: wait for producer Jane to tally the points, I'd love
Speaker 1: to hear from our contestants. What is something you were
Speaker 1: surprised to learn about Maya Angelo or Laura Ingles Wilder, Lucy,
Speaker 1: did anything really surprise you that my was cable car conductor?
Speaker 1: Isn't that such a strange, out of nowhere thing to
Speaker 1: find out about somebody You're like, Oh, this person is
Speaker 1: a famous poet writer. Oh, and they were also a
Speaker 1: famous dancer. That makes sense, And they were also a
Speaker 1: cable car conductor. That's not the job that I saw coming. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: That's a different skill set, but you know, she could
Speaker 1: really do it all. What about you, Charlie, was there
Speaker 1: anything that surprised you about my Angelo or Laura Kles Wilder.
Speaker 1: I was actually going to say in the same thing
Speaker 1: about my Angel that she was the first black woman
Speaker 1: and woman to be a cable car conductor. She was
Speaker 1: the first black woman to be a cable lar conductor,
Speaker 1: the first black woman to read a poem at a
Speaker 1: presidential inauguration, and the first woman to read a poem.
Speaker 1: That's right. If there's something very inspiring about doing something
Speaker 1: that's such a hands on job and being a first set,
Speaker 1: like operating a cable car, and something that's so you know, thinky,
Speaker 1: like like writing and reading a poem and doing that
Speaker 1: for the first time had a presidential inauguration. She really
Speaker 1: did it all. She's really an amazing person. Well, thank
