"For red hair has fallen on evil days and the possessors thereof suffer a revilement to which the flames of the Egyptian altar were perhaps preferable."
Yikes. Thanks for the warning, Lowry Charles Wimberly. Even though you wrote "The Red-Headed Man" in 1929, I think your words still apply.
As I have fallen on evil, evil days indeed. Many evil days of the most insufferable head cold known to man. It has aided in the lateness of this progress report, and for that I am sorry. However! I have accomplished much on the research front! Apologies for the lack of excitement to follow.
1. "Red Hair and Outlawry" -- Philip J. Rasch
Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology (Nov. - Dec. 1947)
Interesting Because: He debunks the idea that most criminals of the Wild West were redheads, but... he doesn't deny that there was some redhead tomfoolery going on!
2. Ugly Duckling to Swan: Labeling Theory and the Stigmatization of Red Hair --
Druann Maria Heckert; Amy Best
Symbolic Interaction, Vol. 20, No. 4 (1997)
Interesting Because: Interviews were conducted with redheads about stereotypes! I'd like to do something of a similar nature, so I think this will be a highly useful resource for me.
3. Judas's Red Hair --
Paull Franklin Baum
The Journal of English and Germanic Philology, Vol. 21, No. 3 (Jul. 1922)
Interesting Because: Where the discrimination of redheads began ~ if Judas hadn't been such an awful redheaded man, then maybe we wouldn't all be labeled deviants. Thanks, man.
4. Shame and Glory: A Sociology of Hair --
Anthony Synnott
The British Journal of Sociology, Vol. 38, No. 3 (Sep. 1987)
Interesting Because: In some polls and surveys done by Glamour magazine, redheaded women were described as "physically unattractive" while redheaded men were considered "effeminate" - neither did well for % of interest compared to other hair colors. Ouch.
5. The Red-Headed Man --
Lowry Charles Wimberly
Prairie Schooner, Vol. 3, No. 4 (FALL 1929)
Interesting Because: Fierce defender of redheads! See above.

Not a natural redhead, but there's an important cultural redheadness here!
Podcasting with audacity creating a podcast with free audio software
Scott Mazzoni
I have not forgotten I am doing podcasts! Proof.
This week I plan to --
- Meet with my director to discuss project progress and next developments.
- Do more research on the PODCAST aspect of the project - not just listen to RadioLab and This American Life.
- Organize the research material into "shows" so that each podcast has a theme.
So that is all for Sept. 4 - Sep. 11!
