Send us a textA warm welcome today to former GP and now headache specialist, Dr Janice Heath, who joins me today to talk about The Outrun, Amy Liptrot's memoir of alcoholism, addiction, recovery and living in Orkney. It's a really beautiful book which has been made into a very recent film starring Saoirse Ronan and the storytelling and the imagery in the book are absolutely stunning. (Janice has watched the film. I haven't yet. I've seen the trailers though and actually the images seem just as Amy describes them and in her beautiful, beautiful writing.) There's a lot to think about here in terms of thinking about addiction and recovery:  addiction and the path through from chaos into something manageable. I really enjoyed talking to Janice much in the same way that I really enjoyed the book.

The Outrun | Stürme an Land und in der Seele Eine karge Landschaft, raues Wetter und mittendrin Saoirse Ronan, die als Frau nicht nur gegen ihre eigenen Erinnerungen, sondern auch gegen ihren Alkoholismus kämpft. Das klingt nicht nach einem Film für jede Altersgruppe, doch unter der Regie von Nora Fingscheidt, bekannt für „Systemsprenger“, könnte die Verfilmung der Memoiren von Amy Liptrot zu einem eindrucksvollen Kinoerlebnis werden. Schlogger und Chris haben sich „The Outrun“ bereits angesehen und diskutieren für uns über den Film, der am 5. Dezember in die deutschen Kinos kommt.

"The Outrun" had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it received high praise for Saoirse Ronan's performance as a young woman recently out of rehab for alcoholism who returns home to the Orkney Islands in Scotland. Directed by Nora Fingscheidt from a screenplay she co-wrote with Amy Liptrot, the independent film has received significant attention for Ronan's emotionally raw performance, which has already garnered her nominations from the Gotham and British Independent Film Awards for Best Lead Performance. Ronan was kind enough to spend a few minutes speaking with us about her work as a star and producer on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film from Sony Pictures Classics, which is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at the 97th Academy Awards, including Best Actress.

The Outrun (VK 2024) is een drama van regisseur Nora Fingscheidt, met o.a. Saoirse Ronan, Stephen Dillane, Saskia Reeves en Naomi Wirthner. Fraaie verfilming van het gelijknamige boek van de op de afgelegen Schotse Orkney-eilanden geboren Amy Liptrot, die in The Outrun beschreef hoe ze na jaren van wild feesten in Londen een alcoholist was geworden. Als laatste redding keerde ze terug naar de rust van haar geboortegrond om daar, ver weg van de drukte van Londen te werken aan herstel. Ronan is fantastisch als de gebroken Amy (in de film heet ze Rona), die wanhopig probeert zichzelf weer in elkaar te zetten. Het verhaal wordt niet chronologisch verteld, maar in schijnbaar losse fragmenten die heen en weer springen door de tijd en tussen Londen en de Orkney-eilanden. De muziek bij The Outrun is van John Gürtler, Jan Miserre, een duo dat elektronische elementen en orkestklanken mixt. En net zoals de film gefragmenteerd het verhaal blootlegt achter de hoofdpersoon, springen we ook in de muziek heen en weer tussen de beukende club-dance-muziek en de aanzwellende soundscapes die de klanken van de golven op de kliffenkusten van de Schotse eilanden, oproepen. Twee bijzondere instrumenten die voor de score gebruikt zijn zijn de Ondes Martenot, een vroeg elektronisch instrument uit de jaren '20 van de 20e eeuw; en de Cristal Baschet, een instrument van glas en metaal, ontwikkeld in de jaren '50, verwant aan de glasharmonica. De ijle klanken van dat instrument klinken bijvoorbeeld als de hoofdpersoon een glas wijn ziet en onweerstaanbaar in de verleiding komt er een slok van te nemen. Voor de scenes waarin de natuur van de Orkney-eilanden het beeld beheerst, wordt de muziek gekenmerkt door de klanken van strijkers, houtblazers, en fluiten.

Jack and Ben dive into Saoirse Ronan's latest film 'The Outrun' a powerful film based on the memoirs of Amy Liptrot who detailed her issues with alcoholism and the mental health struggles of her family. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The two writers choose favourite books. Recorded at the Edinburgh Book Festival

This week Evan and Dave kick things off with THE LAST OF THE SEA WOMEN (3:07) (after Dave forgets to do his own intro at the top; whoops), a documentary about the haenyeo, a declining and aging community of women in Jeju, South Korea, who dive for seafood as a job - or, as Evan more accurately describes it, a calling - while dealing with climate change, over-fishing, and crucially, wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Then Megan joins Evan and Dave for THE OUTRUN (17:17), director Nora Fingscheidt's adaptation of Amy Liptrot's memoir (with a screenplay by Liptrot, the director, and Daisy Lewis). Saoirse Ronan stars as Nora, an alcoholic whose struggle to stay sober takes her from rehab, to an outpatient facility, to her family farm, to one of the most remote isles in Scotland's Orkney Islands. We were all fascinated by it, but how much did we all like it? Over on Patreon, we talk about the ROSEMARY'S BABY prequel APARTMENT 7A.

The Outrun is a 2024 drama film directed by Nora Fingscheidt from a screenplay she co-wrote with Amy Liptrot, and a story the two co-wrote with Daisy Lewis, based on the 2016 memoir of the same name by Liptrot. A co-production between the United Kingdom and Germany, it stars Saoirse Ronan, who also serves as a producer, along with Paapa Essiedu, Nabil Elouahabi, Izuka Hoyle, Lauren Lyle, Saskia Reeves, and Stephen Dillane in supporting roles. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on 19 January 2024, and was released by StudioCanal in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2024. It is slated for release in Germany on 7 November.

The Outrun is a hit from the recent International Film Festival that's getting very strong reviews around the world. Starring Irish star Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird, Little Women) it's based on the best-selling memoir of Orkney writer Amy Liptrot. Also stars Stephen Dillane (Game Of Thrones) and Saskia Reeves (Slow horses).

Welcome back to Silver Screen Social, listeners! I am your host Jackson Vickery. On this episode, I spoke to composers John Gürtler and Jan Miserre about their work on “The Outrun”.  John Gürtler and Jan Miserre, both born in 1981, are award-winning composers known for their collaborative work in film music, particularly in international co-productions. John Gürtler, a London-born, Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist, is recognized for his ability to create diverse and emotionally resonant scores. He has received awards such as the European Film Award for his work on Nora Fingscheidt's “System Crasher” and the German Film Award for Best Sound for “No One's With the Calves.” His other notable projects include “A Mouthful of Air,” the Netflix series “Dig Deeper,” and “A Pure Place,” which won the German Film Critics Award for Best Score. Gürtler has also been acclaimed for his work on “Space Dogs” and “System Crasher,” the latter earning him the European Original Score 2019.Gürtler's collaborations span artists like Berghain resident Efdemin, Thomas Bloch, and the Film Orchestra Babelsberg. Additionally, he's dedicated to fostering new talent through his teaching at film schools across Germany. Jan Miserre, from Erlangen, Bavaria, was influenced by his jazz saxophonist father and began playing piano at age four and drums at twelve. He studied Jazz Piano at the University of Arts in Berlin and has toured internationally, working with artists such as Till Brönner and Curtis Stigers. Miserre has received several awards, including the GEMA Musik Author's Prize for New Talent and the German Documentary Music Award. In 2022, he and Gürtler won Best Score from the German Film Critics Association for “A Pure Place.”  Together, Gürtler and Miserre focus on international co-productions, often working on projects from their base in Berlin. They frequently travel to other countries or invite musicians from around the globe to collaborate with them in Berlin. Their diverse backgrounds and collaborative energy create compelling scores for film and television, earning them widespread acclaim and numerous awards. MORE ABOUT THE OUTRUN: A vivid and unflinching adaptation of Amy Liptrot's wrenching personal memoir of addiction, powered by an extraordinary central performance from Saoirse Ronan. Addicted to hedonism, drink and drugs, a young woman must wrestle with recovery in the remote islands of Orkney whilst reckoning with her complex family history. Powered by a pounding soundtrack, a kinetic visual style and intricate narrative structure, this extraordinarily moving film is redemptive, cathartic and utterly riveting.

Four-time Oscar-nominated Irish actress Saoirse Ronan speaks to Eve Jackson about her heart-wrenching addiction drama "The Outrun", based on Amy Liptrot's memoir. Known for "Lady Bird" and "Little Women" in German filmmaker Nora Fingscheidt's film, Ronan plays a recovering alcoholic who returns to her hometown in the Orkney Islands in Scotland. The actress also talks about her role in Steve McQueen's new movie "Blitz" and the reasons behind the recent success of so many Irish actors.

Two great Scottish films this week: The Outrun, the big screen adaptation of Amy Liptrot's book with a great starring turn by Saoirse Ronan, and Since Yesterday, a documentary celebrating the forgotten girl bands from Scotland's musical past.

In the new film "The Outrun," Saoirse Ronan stars as Rona, a young woman struggling with alcoholism. In an attempt to get sober, she returns to her home on the remote Orkney Islands off the coast of Scotland. The film, based on the memoir by Amy Liptrot, is in theaters Friday. Star Saoirse Ronan joins us to discuss.

We have an absolute guest bonanza on our latest guest on Soundtracking to celebrate the release of The Outrun, which is a quite stunning adaptation of Amy Liptrot's bestselling memoir about her recovery from alcoholism on her home islands of Orkney. As well as speaking to Amy & director Nora Fingscheidt, Edith is also joined by the film's star Saoirse Ronan TWICE - once on her own and once with co-star Papa Essiedu. The Outrun boasts a magnificent score by Jan Miserre and John Gurtler - of which you'll hear plenty.

Freda Cooper talks to director Nora Fingscheidt and writer Amy Liptrot about their new film The Outrun, starring Saoirse Ronan and Paapa Essiedu, in cinemas now. Based on the best-selling memoir by Amy Liptrot, THE OUTRUN is set in the otherworldly Orkney islands of Scotland. A brutally honest drama about addiction and recovery, strength and survival, mental health and the ability of the sea, the land and of people to restore life and renew hope. After a decade away in London, 29-year-old Rona returns home to the Orkney Islands. Sober but lonely, she tries to suppress her memory of the events which set her on this journey of recovery. Slowly the mystical land enters her inner world and – one day at a time – Rona finds hope and strength in herself among the heavy gales and the bracingly cold sea.

Bestselling author of ‘The Outrun,' Amy Liptrot is proof that change is not only possible but life-saving. When Amy found herself in rehab for alcoholism aged 30, she left London behind and returned to her family's farm on Orkney, a remote Island off the coast of Scotland. Overcoming addiction on an isolated island, Amy found solace in the wild landscapes that she'd grown up in. Her outstanding memoir ‘The Outrun' is an account of these experiences and in 2016 the book was awarded the Wainwright Prize and the PEN/Ackerley prize. The film adaptation of The Outrun starring Saoirse Ronan is in cinemas later this week, it is incredibly beautiful and an absolute must see.In this profound and illuminating conversation, Amy and Annie talk about The Outrun, Amy's involvement in the film version and what it's like to see your life played out on screen. They talk about Amy's childhood on Orkney and the effect that her mother's strict religion and father's mental health had on her upbringing. They also talk about the path of addiction, getting sober, different kinds of loneliness, the healing power of nature and the definition of home. This was a truly intimate and deep conversation looking at life's biggest questions.The Outrun is in Cinemas this Friday.GET IN TOUCHContact us at changespod@gmail.com with your emails and voice notes.Changes is a deaf friendly podcast, transcripts can be accessed here: https://www.anniemacmanus.com/changesPlease Note: The transcript is automatically generated in case you come across any typos or misquotes during your reading.

5x15 is delighted to welcome two best-selling and award-winning authors back to our virtual stage. This time, Lucy Jones and Amy Liptrot will be in conversation about Jones's highly anticipated new book MATRESCENCE: On the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Early Motherhood. Other than adolescence, there is no other time in a human's life course that entails such dramatic change than pregnancy, childbirth and early motherhood. So why has this transformation been so neglected by science, medicine and philosophy, and gone largely unrepresented across literature and the arts? Lucy Jones's new book is a groundbreaking, deeply personal investigation into the emerging concept of 'matrescence', and an urgent examination of the modern institution of motherhood. Join us for an inspiring conversation between Lucy Jones and Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun and The Instant. They will be discussing important questions around motherhood and femininity; interdependence and individual identity; as well as our relationships with each other and the living world. Praise for Lucy Jones and MATRESCENCE 'A beautiful contemplation of the extraordinary yet ordinary metamorphosis that adult humans undergo as they become mothers ... I was entranced ... Matrescence is a passionate and powerful maternal roar for change' - GAIA VINCE 'Hypnotic, fascinating and long overdue. I am so glad it exists. A gift of a book and told beautifully.' - LAURA DOCKRILL 'A beautiful, intelligent book that is as tender and moving as it is demanding and urgent. There is something insightful and original in the way Lucy Jones seamlessly combines the analytical with the emotional, and it is an absolutely essential new addition to the literature of mothering and parenthood.' - CLOVER STROUD Lucy Jones is a writer and journalist based in Hampshire, England. She previously worked at NME and the Daily Telegraph, and her writing on culture, science and nature has been published in GQ, BBC Wildlife, The Sunday Times, the Guardian and the New Statesman. Her bestselling book Losing Eden was a Times and Telegraph book of the year in 2020. Amy Liptrot is the author of Sunday Times bestsellers The Outrun and The Instant, which was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing. She writes columns and reviews for various magazines and newspapers including the Guardian and the Spectator, and recently presented Motherhood in Owl Woods: A Landscape for Recovery for BBC Radio 3.

Amy Liptrot writes about extremes -- from the rugged environment of Scotland's Orkney Islands, where she grew up, to her struggles with alcoholism while navigating London's raucous party scene. Her 2015 memoir, The Outrun, won praise and prizes for its vivid evocation of the natural world on Orkney, to which Liptrot returned after spending time in rehab. Her new book, The Instant, focuses on urban wildlife and the heartbreak of a failed romance during a year spent in Berlin.

Writer Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun and The Instant, takes her friend, poet Zaffar Kunial, to the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, West Yorkshire. Together they explore the former home of the Brontë sisters – Charlotte, Emily and Anne – and see where some of their most famous novels were written. From the dining table where the sisters shared their work, to early reviews of Wuthering Heights, intimate objects and artefacts prompt conversations about Amy and Zaffar's own inspirations as writers. And, after exploring the house and museum, they head out into the landscape and discover a poem in the wild.

Sri Lanka is facing its worst economic crisis since independence, with inflation soaring to the highest rate in Asia. The country's energy minister warned at the weekend that the country would soon run out fuel as long queues formed at petrol stations, with many staying for days at a time. President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has even sought help from Russia to help import fuel. Rajini Vaidyanathan has been in Colombo speaking to those most affected. Will Grant reflects on dual tragedies in Texas: the shooting in a primary school in Uvalde in Texas and 53 migrant deaths in a people smuggling operation. In both these horrific events, the correspondent heard stories of thwarted hopes – and life ambitions cut short. In Syria, cities like Damascus and Palmyra were once heralded for their history and architectural grandeur but much of their cultural heritage has been destroyed during the years of civil war. Nick Redmayne travelled to Palmyra on a guided tour, one of a few businesses that are trying to revive their fortunes despite an on-going economic crisis. In Algeria, we hear how people are working to restore the land that was burned in wildfires last year, in the country's northeast. Tens of thousands of hectares were destroyed in the flames and much of the natural landscape has morphed into charred remains. Amy Liptrot visited a project which is involved in restoring some of the land that was destroyed by the fires. And finally, we hear about one French farmer who has come up with a cunning plan to help generate a new source of revenue at his family run farm: it's a cabaret show with a difference, far away from the Folies Bergère. Chris Bockman paid it a visit. Presenter: Kate Adie Producer: Serena Tarling Editor: Emma Rippon Production Coordinator: Gemma Ashman

Where would our language be without the sea? Aground, adrift, the wind taken from our sails.   In today's episode, Lemn is diving beneath the surface into the British Library Sound Archive (see full credits below) to hear how language, on this island nation, has been shaped by the sea.   To help on his quest, he's joined by Scottish writer Amy Liptrot, whose 2018 memoir The Outrun won the PEN Ackerley Prize and the Wainwright Prize. In the book, Amy returns to the wildness of Orkney, an archipelago off the northeastern coast of Scotland where she grew up. There, she immerses herself in the sea and the island that she once left, and journeys towards recovery from addiction.   Together, they listen to sea shanties sung in Cornwall; coastguards responding to the aftermath of shipwrecks; tourists enamoured with Orkney's inebriating charms and more...

Whether it's a single action that reverberates around a community, or the rupture of a break-up, literature is filled with memorable instants after which everything changes. Our guest this month is Amy Liptrot, who joined us from Orkney to talk about her second book The Instant, a memoir of Amy's move from Scotland to Berlin, where she searches for racoons, tracks the moon, goes to techno clubs, looks for boyfriends, falls in love and has her heart broken. It's also about connectivity and the instants that change our lives, and so in honour of Amy's book our theme today is ‘the instant' - we'll be thinking about those moments in literature when things turn on a dime. Sit back, enjoy, and let us change the course of your life over the next hour on literary friction.

The Instant is the outstanding new book from Amy Liptrot, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Outrun. She joins us on the eve of publication for a very special event in conversation with Lucy Jones, author of Losing Eden. The Outrun is a book about living on the edge, about the pull between island and city, and about the ability of the sea, the land, the wind and the moon to restore life and renew hope. It won both the Wainwright Prize and the PEN Ackerley Prize, and was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan has just been confirmed in the leading role in the forthcoming film adaptation. The Instant picks up where The Outrun left off. Wishing to leave the quiet isolation of her life on Orkney, Amy books a one-way flight to Berlin, rents a shared flat and looks for work. Searching for new experiences, she explores the city's streets, nightclubs and parks and seeks out the city's wildlife - goshawks, raccoons and hooded crows. And she looks for love through the screen of her laptop. The Instant is many things - luminous and intensely honest, powerful and poignant. Amy Liptrot is the author of The Outrun, a Sunday Times bestseller. She writes columns and reviews for various magazines and newspapers including the Guardian and the Spectator, and recently presented the BBC Radio 4 series The New Anatomy of Melancholy. Lucy Jones is a writer and journalist based in Hampshire, England. She previously worked at NME and the Daily Telegraph, and her writing on culture, science and nature has been published in BBC Earth, BBC Wildlife, The Sunday Times, the Guardian and the New Statesman. Her first book, Foxes Unearthed, was celebrated for its 'brave, bold and honest' (Chris Packham) account of our relationship with the fox. Losing Eden took Jones from forest schools in East London to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault via primeval woodlands, Californian laboratories and ecotherapists' couches. 5x15 brings together outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations.

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1568 Birth of Henry Wotton, English writer, diplomat, and politician. Henry celebrated our relationships with gardens and landscapes. He especially enjoyed gardens that made one think or offered a surprise. Henry served as an Ambassador to Venice, and during his time there, he fell in love with Italian gardens. Henry's concept of a "garden of surprise" was inspired by the gardens he saw in Italy. In his Elements of Architecture (1624), Henry discusses what it was like to walk through an Italian garden: I have seen a garden into which the first [entry point] was a high walk like a [terrace], from whence might be taken a general view of the whole plot below, but rather in a delightful confusion... From this the Beholder descending any steps, was afterwards conveyed again... to various entertainments of his [scent] and sight... every one of these diversities, was as if he had [been] magically transported to a new garden.   1844 Birth of Paul-Marie Verlaine, French poet.  He's remembered for his work with the Symbolist and Decadent movements. His poem, Clair de Lune, begins with the line, "Your soul is a sealed garden," and inspired Claude Debussy ("deh·byoo·see") to write his own 'Clair de lune, the work for which he is now most famous.  Paul once wrote, Here are fruits, flowers, leaves and branches, and here is my heart which beats only for you.   1853 Birth of Vincent van Gogh, Dutch post-impressionist painter.  After his death, he became a top-selling figure in the history of Western art. Bold colors and brushwork characterized his work. Vincent found inspiration in the natural world, and he once said,  If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere. Vincent was also a lover of flowers and gardens, and he also said, For one's health as you say, it is very necessary to work in the garden and see the flowers growing. At the end of his life, Van Gogh suffered from depression, an unsuccessful painting career, and poverty. He committed a slow and painful suicide at 37 by shooting himself in the chest.  He died two days later beside a stack of his sunflower canvases. He said his last words to his brother Theo, The sadness will last forever. The legacy of Van Gogh's 2,100 pieces of art was much brighter than he ever expected. In March of 1987, his painting titled Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers was sold by Sotheby's in London for $39.85 million, more than three times the highest price ever paid at the time for a painting at auction.   2003 On this day, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram shared an article called, What's in a name? Deciding the name of every plant could take decades and require a huge effort by Stephanie Simon. The article revealed that  the Missouri Botanical Garden is teaming up with botanists worldwide on a 10-year $100-million effort to standardize plant names. The article shared the forecast for finishing the project, saying the project's leaders' plans for... the database [is] “45 compiler years.” One note says “52 imager years.”  At the bottom there's a final tally: They will need a staff of 32 for at least a decade just to compile and input the information.  That's not counting the botanists who will do all the research Missouri scientists will be working in formal collaboration with the two other top botanical research centers in the world: the New York Botanical Garden and the Kew Botanical Gardens near London. Incredibly, the project was completed way ahead of schedule at the end of 2010. At the time, The Plant List included 1.25 million scientific plant names.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Writing Wild by Kathryn Aalto This book came out in the summer of 2020, and the subtitle is Women Poets, Ramblers, and Mavericks Who Shape How We See the Natural World. This is such a good book, and I've been waiting to recommend it on the show. Kathryn herself was inspired to write this book after stumbling on a book written with all-male voices. Kathryn wanted to find the female voices and add their perspective on the natural world. In all, there are about 75 women that are talked about in Kathryn's book. Now, the goal behind curating all of these pieces was to help us deepen our connection to and understanding of the natural world. Some of these writers are some of my old favorites, like Mary Oliver, Vita Sackville West, Mary Austin, Susan Fenimore Cooper. But then there are also new voices like Helen MacDonald, Andrea Wulf, Amy Liptrot, and Elizabeth Rush. There are 25 of these women whose works are shared in full in this book. I love what Kathryn wrote in the introduction. She says, Much of this book was researched and penned outside - mountain climbing, mudlarking, canoeing, beachcombing, gardening, hiking, and birdwatching. I retraced the footsteps of those who have passed on, some of whom wrote anonymously or were chastised for daring to venture off without male chaperones. I walked and talked with living authors. I read original 19th-century journals, letters, essays, and books. I held tangible personal objects. I searched the faces and old photographs. I listened to historians, archivists, and experts. I attended live author readings and listened to recordings. I passed through 200 years of women's history through nature writing. Remarkable. Compilation books like this are excellent because Kathryn has done the heavy lifting for us. She has sifted through all of this nature writing, and she has brought us the best of the best - an excellent sampling of women writing about nature over the past two centuries. I simply have to share two beautiful quotes that Kathryn includes at the top of the book. The first is from Willa Cather in her 1913 book O Pioneers! She wrote,  Isn't it queer: there are only two or three human stories and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes for over thousands of years.  And then there's this beautiful quote by Emily Dickinson in an 1885 letter that she wrote to Eugenia Hall. I hope you love Birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.  This book is chock full of great insights, quotes, and readings from women as marvelous as Willa Cather and Emily Dickinson. This book is 288 pages of women finding joy in nature and then writing about it and sharing it.  You can get a copy of Writing Wild by Kathryn Aalto and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $6.   Botanic Spark 1918 On this day, The Oregon Daily Journal out of Portland, Oregon, shared a front-page story with the headline, SLACKER IF HE PUTS BASEBALL STARTING TIME BACK ONE HOUR. President Pack of National War Garden Commission Severely Criticises [Baseball] Club Owner Who Plans to Add Extra Hour of Daylight That Could Be Used in Garden Work. Charles Lathrop-Pack was president of the national war garden commission and was against baseball teams who were planning to change the start time of their games to take advantage of the brand new daylight saving plan. Pack said, A move like this will take thousands of hours of time from gardens. It will doubtless mean many extra dollars in the box office, but it is certainly a violation of the spirit of the law. In other media, Charles reminded both leagues that,  [the] law was intended to increase the daylight usefulness in war work, and was not intended to give extra hours for recreation...  Slackers of the worst type is the brand placed upon baseball league owners or managers who plan to move down the scheduled time of starting games this Summer. But the historian Michael O'Malley noted in his book Keeping Watch (1996) that as president of the War Garden Commission, Charles Lathrop Pack was essentially the head of [a] lobbying organization for the makers of garden products—tools, seeds, fertilizers, canning, and preserving equipment... [and he] stood to gain dramatically from any increase in wartime gardening.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

In this episode I talk to the journalist and author, Amy Liptrot.Amy grew up on Orkney before moving to London in her twenties to pursue a career as a music journalist.

Years ago I read the translation of the swedish book The Unit by Ninni Holmqvist. It’s one of those underrated books that deserves more love. It’s a scifi novel featuring an older woman who moves into a senior home that is more than what it seems. Residents get the life of luxury and all their needs and dreams met, but they are required to go through weekly blood and drug tests and many participate in questionable experiments. It’s a book about trust, good and evil, the elderly, and how far things might go in the future.  I would love to find more books featuring elderly folk, especially genre books (scifi, horror, thriller, suspense). I’ve read Fredrich Bachman, The Lido, The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper – in other words (spoilers) charming, quaint books with happy, hopeful endings.  Can you recommend any books with a twist or uncertainty or a hint of something unexpected?  Thanks! -Katherine 2. Hello Amanda and Jenn, big fan! Thank you for keeping me entertained through lockdown. My brother and I both love reading and keep trying to recommend books for each other but we have very different tastes. Books we have read this year that we thought might fit the bill for us both are: Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (he loved and I struggled through). We both enjoyed The Examined Life: How we lose and find ourselves by Stephen Grosz and Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E Frankl  He prefers books that challenge him, that are eye opening/life changing and he’ll enjoy it if it’s really long. He likes non-fiction memoirs about war and classics that have stood the test of time. I adore what he likes to call ‘pop’ fiction; Crime, Thriller, Horror, anything recently published, fast paced and relatively short. Can you suggest something that might work for us both? Thank you!  -Jenny 3. TIME _SENSITIVE: Hello, I am going to Northern Maine with my husband for a makeshift honeymoon since ours was canceled from covid in June and I am looking for recommendations for books to read on the ride up from Philadelphia.  I am open to anything except horror, sci-fi and mystery but something with National Park/nature feels would be nice. I would also request a Red Socks book for me (I know next to nothing on baseball but since we will be going to a game on the way to Maine and I would like to know something about the stadium or the team before going). Thank you so much and I can’t wait to hear what you can suggest.  -Carissa 4. I am looking for a book (nonfiction or fiction does not matter) that talks about relationships between semi-distant dads and daughters.  My dad left my mom for another woman (now my step mom) when I was 6, so honestly I was too young for it to be terribly traumatic. Now that I am grown up (I’m 27) we barely speak. My step brother came out as trans a few years ago and both my dad and step mom have responded terribly to it, which was the thing that made me really give up on having a relationship with my dad.  I am queer and my fiance is nonbinary, and when I have introduced my previous partners to him he just dismissed their pronouns and “didn’t get it.” He does not even know I’m engaged and I have not spoken to him in 2 years now. He recently reached out to me and wants to reconnect, but honestly I am at a point where I only want to put emotional energy into relationships that are fulfilling.  So, I am looking for something with an estranged relationship between father and daughter, has queer themes/queer mc, and there does not have to be a redemption arc or anything. In fact, I would like something where the daughter gets closure with deciding to not maintain a relationship with her father. Maybe 1 nonfiction and 1 fiction? Thank you! -Kenna (she/her) 5. I realized recently that I kind of have Harry Potter as my ultimate favorite thing in my head as a default because like for others it was the first series I read that really drew me in and made me love the characters, etc, and I haven’t felt like I’ve ever found that with another series.  I don’t exactly want a Harry Potter readalike because I know there are lots of those.  I really want a book, preferably a series, preferably not fantasy, that has those same elements that make HP so lovable. A small cast of really well-developed characters, a really immersive and well-thought-out story, universal themes, found family, all that. I just want an adult version of it that will draw me in that way.  Hopefully this isn’t some impossible ask.  Thanks and love the show!  -Maria 6. I’m looking for books with the same feel as Ted Lasso. I don’t necessarily care if it is an American abroad story. I’m more interested in optimism, vulnerability, and humor. I don’t think I’m looking for “cozy” or “feel good” reads.  If I had to describe it, I would say I want the heart and vulnerability of Ted Lasso.  Thanks! -Casey  7. A year into the pandemic and I am having a deep craving for books that help with my wanderlust. I’m looking for narrative non-fiction or travelogues to help transport me, but also integrate deeper understanding of a place’s history and culture. Here’s some that I recently read that I’m still having a book hangover from: 1. Leave Only Footprints: My Acadia-to-Zion Journey 2. Eat the Buddha:Life and Death in a Tibetan Town 3.

‘When we read and write, when we love our fellow creatures, when we walk on the beach, when we just listen and notice, we are not little cogs in the machine, but part of the remedy.’ These luminous words by Kathleen Jamie form part of the introduction to Antlers of Water, an outstanding collection of contemporary Scottish writing about nature and landscape. The generosity of Jamie’s approach as editor of the collection goes beyond the stellar selection of contributors such as Amy Liptrot, Karine Polwart and Malachy Tallack: she also invokes the agency of readers to make a difference. ‘If, by reading, you are encouraged or confirmed in your love of the natural world, if you’re inspired simply to… look outside, then our job is done.’ In a discussion recorded live at the 2020 Book Festival and led by the BBC's Clare English, Jamie is joined by award-winning journalist Chitra Ramaswamy as well as visual artist and writer Amanda Thomson – both contributors to the anthology – to discuss Scotland, landscape and the more-than-human world around us.

My latest guest on Floating: Swimming Stories is Amy Liptrot. Amy is the author of bestselling memoir The Outrun. A native of Orkney, she now lives in Yorkshire. We caught up in July 2020 to discuss her childhood swimming spots on the wild Atlantic coast,  the places she's been going to for dips during her second pregnancy and her latest writing about the power of cold water in the year after giving birth to her first child.

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens is a publishing phenomenon: a debut novel that has sold more print copies in 2019 than any other adult title, fiction or non-fiction.  Appropriately, given our current Corona lockdown situation, it's a book about a girl who lives isolated in the wilderness, wrestling with loneliness. The plot draws together romance, crime and a courtroom drama building to a suspenseful conclusion. A page-turner, then, but what did Kate's book club make of it? Listen in to find out.  • Books mentioned on this episode: Don't Lets Go to the Dogs Tonight by Alexandra Fuller, The Five by Hallie Rubenhold, Furious Hours by Casey Cep, In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald and The Outrun by Amy Liptrot. • For more book reviews and recommendations between episodes follow us on Instagram or Facebook @BookClubReview podcast, on Twitter @bookclubrvwpod or email thebookclubreview@gmail.com.

Hi Amanda and Jenn! Absolutely love the show. It’s almost stressful how many amazing books there are to read! I’m a straight single woman in my 30s who just recently left a good relationship headed towards marriage just because it didn’t feel right. I’d love to read fiction or non-fiction about women who did such a thing – left a good, decent man or relationship and still created happy lives, or women who found love a little later but were still able to have kids/a partner like they wanted. In this vein I’ve loved Spinster by Kate Bolick, The Rules Do Not Apply, and am about to read No One Tells You This by Glynnis McNichol. Thanks! -Polly 2. This summer, we are moving from California to Virginia and I’m looking for audiobook selections for the drive.  In the fall, I begin my MLIS specializing in Children and Youth Service/Public Librarianship.  I also have two daughters who may or may not listen in — a 9 year old and a 12 year old.    What are some more current middle-grade or YA audiobooks that would keep us all entertained, and will help prep me for my future in the library?     I’ve already listened to Harry Potter, the Lunar Chronicles, and some Rick Riordan.  We’ve also got a pretty solid book collection of popular titles including things like The Mysterious Benedict Society, Book Scavenger, Mr. Limoncello’s Library and Al Capone Does My Shirts.  Last thing — please no narrator with a British accent.  I know it’s weird, but it puts me to sleep so not good for driving!  I love listening to you — and because of that my TBR is out of control!   -Lisa 3. Hi! I was so glad to hear you were reading the Outrun by Amy Liptrot, I live on the island of Westray which is 15minutes by boat from Papa Westray (our little sister island) which as you know is the location for a lot of the Outrun. I hoped you enjoyed reading about our islands and way of life as a part of the book. If you enjoyed the Outrun and reading about ‘living on the edge’ and nature, I think you will enjoy ‘Heida: A shepherd at the edge of the world’ by Steinunn Sigurdardottir & Heida Asgeirsdottir which is a diary of the year former icelandic model turned sheep-farmer Heida fought to save her land from becoming a development site for a power plant, all while managing her flock of 500 sheep at the base of Katla, one of Iceland’s most notorious volcanoes.  So for me! I’m looking for some fiction where the forest (in a non-creepy way) is key to the book. While being in lockdown on a small idyllic scottish island is certainly nothing to complain about, I miss trees, we have had no trees here since the Vikings chopped them all down way back when! And now it’s too windy so any miracle trees we can get to grow just grow stunted, spindly and sideways. So I’m looking to get my beautiful forest fix through my books until I can travel to the mainland again and hug some trees. Thanks!  -Isobel 4. Hi ladies! I’m in need of escapist reading – and that means Queer Fantasy Romance. We’re talking magick and mages, sexy humans falling for even sexier elves, turmoil + angst, and through it all – a happy ending. Books in a similar vein that I’ve loved are the Charm of Magpies Series by K.J. Charles, Salt Magic, Skin Magic by Lee Welch, and The Kingston Cycle Series by C.L. Polk. These are all Victorian-era ish historicals (my fave) but I would love to find something more high fantasy, to ramp up that escapist itch. Bonus for an audiobook – that’s my favorite way of getting sucked into a novel! -Michelle 5. I’m looking for a dystopian/sci fi book.  This isn’t something I read often, but I like to kind of pepper my usual historical fiction/graphic memoir/ YA reading with it every once in a while when I need to shake things up a bit. Station Eleven, Age of Miracles, and Severance have done this for me recently.  I love how everything in my daily life starts to seem weird when I’m reading a book that makes me think about how everything could be changed.  Can you help me find something,  please?  I love the show! -Brooke 6. I need a good realistic fiction book to get me hooked back on reading.  -Christian 7. Two of my favorite books, Saga (Vaughan/Staples) and The Blind Assassin (Atwood), have pulp-y books as a main component of the story yet I have some how never read any myself.  I would love a few suggestions for books or authors to check out.  Almost anything goes, except I cannot stand when ancient or immortal beings start romantic relationships with teenagers/early 20-year-olds.  Eww, just eww. Thanks!!! -Kristin Books Discussed Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert  Untamed by Glennon Doyle (tw: alcoholism, bulimia), Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed Orphan Island by Laurel Snyder Dactyl Hill Squad by Daniel Jose Older Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver (tw: loss of a spouse, bigotry) The Overstory by Richard Powers (tw suicide, self-harm) Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst The Tensorate series (The Black Tides of Heaven #1) by JY Yang  The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison Bannerless by Carrie Vaughn Braised Pork by An Yu Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Everisto (tw: domestic violence, rape, racism, homophobia, self-harm, depression, child abuse) I Am Justice by Diana Munoz Stewart (tw sexual abuse of children) Chilling Effect by Valerie Valdes

En estos días confusos, nada mejor que refugiarse en unos buenos libros. Laura Riñón, escritora y librera de 'Amapolas en Octubre', lo sabe bien. Por eso viene al Hotel Jorge Juan para sentarse y tomar una copa conmigo mientras nos da sus recomendaciones de libros con los que pasar una cuarentena.

Our first show of the year (and decade) is all about New Beginnings: from Virginia Woolf's novels to memoirs like Amy Liptrot’s The Outrun, we’ll look at books that feature rejuvenation, and think about why it's such fertile ground for storytelling. Joining us is author An Yu, whose thoughtful and surreal debut novel Braised Pork inspired the theme. It tells the story of Jia Jia, a young artist in contemporary Beijing who, after the abrupt death of her husband, must begin her life again. Listen in for our chat with An, who stopped by the studio to talk about starting over, the power of enigmatic symbols, and why we need stories to make sense of the world around us, plus all the usual recommendations. It’s good to be back!

The Romany writer and broadcaster Damian Le Bas and author Amy Liptrot choose a good read

Gail, Hazel and host Philippa are transported to Orkney as they explore the life and works of the poet and novelist George Mackay Brown OBE. Together with his biographer Maggie Fergusson and Colin Waters of the Scottish Poetry Library, they bring to light a writer who was at once a solitary soul and a raconteur, a lover and a drinker, a member of the Edinburgh literati yet fame-shy. From the oft-recited ‘Hamnavoe’ to the Booker-nominated ‘Beside the Ocean of Time’ Mackay Brown’s work sings of his island roots, interweaving life and social history with myth and legend. In this month’s travels through the magazine’s archives, Christopher Robbins and Rory Murphy tackle the high falutin literary rap of ‘Finnegans Wake’, and there are the usual wide-ranging recommendations for reading off the beaten track too.

This week’s guest is the lovely Sarah from Orkney, and she shared so many things and triggered so many reflections in my self that it is hard to know what to focus this week’s blog on. But when I take a step back, and reflect on everything she talked about, the overwhelming theme for me is the season of rich personal growth that she finds herself in. The inspiration may have come from creating a list of 49 things to do while she was still 49, but the real catalyst has been wild swimming. In a matter of months, the act of swimming in wild cold water has enabled her to confront negative body issues and to realise that she has an amazing body that can do amazing things. She is so much happier and positively glowing with confidence. All this transformation is coming from within and other people can see it. She is connecting with people all over the world through social media, sharing a passion for wild swimming. She is more connected with nature and spending more time than ever before outside, making intentional journeys to new swim spots, so that getting there becomes part of the joy of the experience. One observation, that other people in my wild swimming circle have similarly reflected on this week, is the sense of regret at not having arrived at this place sooner. Having so many wild swimming opportunities right on the doorstep, and yet resisting it for years. But as Sarah’s friend wisely observed – it wasn’t her time. Now is her time, and she is taking every opportunity to live it. Another key I feel to Sarah’s journey is letting go of resistance. This time the advice was gifted by Amy Liptrot, who simply suggested she embrace the wild Orkney weather instead of resisting it. Suddenly in this simple transformation she was working in harmony with the elements rather than fighting futilely against them. You can virtually feel the release of that, and how much more fluidly her life flows as a result. And the best thing about feeling so much less inhibited – you don’t worry about driving home commando!

Listen to award-winning Irish author Sara Baume as she reads from her second novel a line made by walking, and discusses how she came to write this, and her debut novel, spill, simmer, falter, wither. Recorded at the Central Library on 9 March 2017, as part of the Contemporary Irish Literature Series. (See also: Hearts and Minds with Donal Ryan and Martin Dyar) 'A line made by walking' charts a young artist's search for meaning and healing in rural Ireland. Struggling to cope with urban life and life in general, Frankie retreats to her family's rural house on "turbine hill," vacant since her grandmother's death three years earlier. Sara Baume studied fine art before earning a Master's in Creative Writing. Her short fiction has appeared in the The Moth, The Stinging Fly, the Irish Independent, and others. She won the 2014 Davy Byrnes Short Story Award and the 2015 Hennessy New Irish Writing Award. Sara's debut novel, spill simmer falter wither received national and international critical acclaim and won the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, the Sunday Independent Newcomer of the Year Award, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, and was short-listed for the Costa First Novel Award and is one of seven novels by Irish authors on the longlist for 2017 International DUBLIN Literary Award. Her second novel, a line made by walking was published in February 2017. Books Sara mentions, that like 'a line made by walking', are somewhere between novel, essay and ode to nature: The Outrun by Amy Liptrot, H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald, The Lonely City by Olivia Laing.

Ol and Dave chat to Amy Liptrot about The Outrun, Amy's phenomenally successful debut book in which she discovers how the wild can restore life and renew hope. Recently out in paperback, The Outrun is this year's winner of the Wainwright prize for UK nature and travel writing, and Waterstones' September 2016 non-fiction book of the month. More importantly, it's bloody amazing, and you should buy it and read it. Photo of Amy Liptrot (c) The Orcadian.

This week we find ourselves out of doors on the windswept islands of Orkney with Amy Liptrot and among the traffic-clogged streets of London with Emily Chappell

Libby Purves meets novelist Gerald Seymour; adventurer and comedian Tim FitzHigham; writer Amy Liptrot and costume designer John Bright. Tim FitzHigham is an adventurer, author and comedian. His new show, the Gambler, is on tour and in preparation he has undertaken some idiosyncratic challenges including cooking under ten feet of water. He has established himself as a man who is infamous for tackling endeavours that no one else would dare to. In previous shows he has paddled paper boats down the Thames; ridden hollowed out logs up the Amazon; run deserts in suits of armour and crossed the Channel in a bath tub. The Gambler is on tour. Amy Liptrot's book, The Outrun tells her story of returning to Orkney after more than a decade away in London. Orkney becomes the central force in her recovery from alcohol addiction; she swims in the bracingly cold sea and tracks Orkney's wildlife including puffins nesting on sea stacks and the rare and secretive corncrake. The Outrun is published by Canongate. Gerald Seymour is a novelist who made his mark with Harry's Game in 1975.
