https://youtu.be/QHFdNrP8Ldk “Listen, World!” Empowering Lessons in Grief From a Woman Writer Born 100 Years Ago Beyond self-help books and memoir, biography is a vital yet overlooked reservoir of support and healing after loss. The opportunity to bear witness to how another person grappled with grief allows us to better understand our own pain and devise a path forward. Join Allison Gilbert, author Passed and Present: Keeping Memories of Loved Ones Alive and co-author of Listen, World!: How the Intrepid Elsie Robinson Became America's Most-Read Woman, as she uncovers the lessons in Robinson's remarkable life and stirring writing. Listen, World! is the first biography of Robinson, a single mother who survives the death of her only son and becomes the most-read woman in the country and highest-paid woman writer in the William Randolph Hearst media empire. “By writing this book, I've come to realize that biography can help the bereaved feel just as connected and understood as any self-help book or memoir,” she said. “Biography is an underutilized resource that fuels healing.”

Unsung History

As a girl born in 1883 to a family who couldn't afford to send her to college, Elsie Robinson had limited options. To escape the drudgery of small-town life and then a stifling marriage, Elsie wrote. And wrote. And wrote. When her asthmatic son was home sick from school, she wrote and illustrated stories to entertain him. When she needed to make money to support herself and her son after her divorce, she wrote again. Eventually, her prolific writing caught the attention of the Hearst media empire, and Elsie became the most-read woman writer in America and the highest-paid woman writer in the Hearst organization. But today, few people remember Elsie Robinson or her writing.

In a prime-time speech to the American public, President Biden called out lies about the 2020 presidential election that have led to political violence. But is that enough to embolden Democratic voting blocs like young and Black voters to turn out at the polls? Peniel Joseph, director of the University of Texas Center for the Study of Race and Democracy, joins us. Then, as midterm elections approach, five states have slavery on the ballot. In Alabama, Louisiana, Oregon, Tennessee and Vermont, loopholes exist that allow for the forced labor of incarcerated citizens, and voters will weigh in on whether to remove them from state constitutions. Christina Carrega, a national criminal justice reporter for Capital B News, joins us. And, "Listen, World!," a new book from Allison Gilbert and Julia Scheerer explores the life of Elsie Robinson, a prolific journalist and columnist born in the early 1900s. She became the most-read woman in America, though many didn't know her name. Author Gilbert joins us.

Elsie Robinson was a pioneer of women in media, an early advocate for equal rights, and at one point the highest-paid woman writer in the nation. Before launching her journalism career, Elsie's life was an astonishing rollercoaster that included everything from a marriage to a wealthy Victorian gentleman to a job working deep within the bowels of the Sierra foothills mining for gold. So how is it possible that her name has been largely forgotten? Julia Scheeres and Allison Gilbert confront this mystery in a fascinating new biography called “Listen, World! How the Intrepid Elsie Robinson became America's Most-Read Woman.” In this episode, recorded at the Oakland Library in front of a live audience, we discuss Robinson's unlikely rise from the Oakland Tribune to the upper echelons of national media, her legacy, and the challenges of uncovering this nearly forgotten story.

About Allison Gilbert: Allison is an award-winning journalist and author of numerous books including Passed and Present and Parentless Parents. Her forthcoming book, Listen, World!: How the Intrepid Elsie Robinson Became America's Most-Read Woman, is the inspiring story of a timeless maverick, capturing what it means to take a gamble on self-fulfillment and find freedom along the way. In this episode, Mike and Allison discuss: Allison's journey from journalist to book author (including her near death on September 11th). Writing as catharsis and therapy. How our education system keeps us from learning about the impact of women and where we can learn more. Stories to bring you into another family and world. Key Takeaways: The practical skills that you learn in other careers can often be applied to your writing. Writing can be a form of therapy, for authors of both fiction and non-fiction. It is a way of getting lost in a world that you have control over. When you downplay the role of women in the creation of your country and current culture, then we learn fewer histories. When you get stuck on a project, do more work. Having a good outline to start can help, but if you don't know what to write, you just need more information. "If you are so passionate about your topic, do not give up. Ultimately, it just took one editor to say ‘yes.'" – Allison Gilbert Buy Listen, World!: How the Intrepid Elsie Robinson Became America's Most-Read Woman Amazon: https://amzn.to/3P6xklR Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/54587/9781541674356 Connect with Allison Website: https://www.allisongilbert.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/agilbertwriter/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agilbertwriter/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/agilbertwriter LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/agilbertwriter/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNUhHAyA9RBL3sav6W2qo8Q Connect with Mike Website: https://uncorkingastory.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSvS4fuG3L1JMZeOyHvfk_g Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncorkingastory/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/uncorkingastory Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uncorkingastory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/uncorking-a-story/ If you like this episode, please share it with a friend.

A 2020 study found that for every person who dies of COVID-19, at least nine people become bereaved. With more than half a million lives lost to COVID-19 in the U.S., that means more than 5 million people are experiencing grief from the pandemic alone. In her New York Times op-ed, “The Grief Crisis is Coming,” journalist and author Allison Gilbert writes that “we must begin to address the toll” of this grief and its impact on public health. We’ll talk to Gilbert and bereavement researcher Dr. Toni Miles about the rippling effects of grief on this scale and how to address it.

I had such a great discussion with Allison Gilbert for this episode. I had the pleasure of meeting Allison earlier this summer at the National Alliance for Grieving Children annual symposium in Snowbird, Utah. Allison is a board member of the NAGC, and was a keynote speaker at the symposium. I knew right away that she would be fantastic to talk to about practical ideas for keeping the memories of our loved ones alive, and also about how important it is to do so. Some topics that Allison and I cover include: Why keeping memories alive is so important to our long-term and short-term well-being; How remembering helps to create continuing bonds with our loved ones who have died; Why Allison's goal is to empower people to feel confident in implementing ideas and strategies for remembering; Using fillable lamps to display collectibles or small items that remind you of your loved one; Ideas for repurposing fabrics into special keepsakes, even if you're not crafty yourself; Why she calls technology the “low-hanging fruit of memory keeping”; Ways to use social media to help with remembering, including embracing “Throwback Thursday”; Suggestions for engaging your kids around cooking mom's or dad's favorite recipe; What is commemorative travel, and how it can help us honor and celebrate our loved ones; and Additional ideas and resources you can request by emailing Allison. One quick tech note: about halfway through, the audio on my side of the conversation gets weird. I've tried everything to fix it, to no avail. I recently upgraded to a fancy new microphone that really should not have these issues, so it appears I have some troubleshooting to do. I apologize in advance for the rough audio in places. Allison sounds great on her end of the line, and that's the most important part. I hope you enjoy my discussion with Allison Gilbert.

I’d like to read the article to you because I think it explains why, if you’re anything like me, I hoard anything I’m given of my dad’s. I have every award he won, the tag from the mortuary, all his old desk items, old t-shirts, his digital watch, his signature stamp – side note: would an ink stamp be considered a legally bound signature? Ok, so you get it. If anyone hands me anything that used to be my dad’s, I’ll take it! And I’ll keep it! Why is this??? Let's read this article on nostalgia... Once considered a form of depression, nostalgia is getting a second look from psychologists, who increasingly see it as a source of strength. http://www.oprah.com/health_wellness/how-nostalgia-relieves-loneliness-and-grief

After a loss, it can come as a surprise that we still feel love for and feel connected to the person who is no longer in this world. How do we continue to find ways to carry out that relationship in our everyday life? Author Allison Gilbert, out of her own losses, began to find ways to creatively and joyfully connect with her loved ones, making quilts of neckties and plates printed with her grandmother's recipe for cake. In countless ways, she took the actions that resulted in an ongoing joy in the love she still felt. Many a griever has been led to believe that death ends things, yet few grievers actually end up feeling that way. Love continues, the impulse to act on that love continues and we find ourselves in an ever evolving communion with whoever we have lost. Creativity, the realm where nothing needs to make sense, is the perfect environment for this critical act of remembrance and love.

Allison Gilbert (@allisonWynifred) is back today to convince you that the Friends characters Joey and Rachel would have made an ideal couple. Sure, most people wanted Ross and Rachel to end up together, but Allison is not most people! A Soap Opera star or a Paleontologist, what is better? We discuss what makes a good couple, the histories of Ross, Rachel, and Joey, and what friend we see ourselves as—including innovative new friend hybrid types. We also discuss whether perhaps Rachel would have been best off staying single in Paris as a fashion designer with her child, and how annoying Ross’s son Ben was. We also talk about how strangely close the Ross and Monica sibling relationship was and if it is akin to the Gyllenhalls. Finally, we run down a pro/con list of Ross and Joey’s attributes and scientifically decide who was a better suitor for Rachel. Is it Gunther? Listen to find out. This episode ends with a great segment of “Conspire Me,” Allison’s celebrity conspiracy theory roundup, complete with spooky music. She discusses the new Kardashian pregnancy in depth and Geoff has some hot takes.
