After 12 minutes of banter that covers Jeff's annual fishing trip and  Dave's Civil War trip we get into the meat of the show with the prodigious and informative long time Advanced Squad Leader player Gary Fortenberry.  In this, the first half of our conversation with Gary covers some of his time in the military, the early days of the famous fanzines like, Fire for Effect, In Contact and of course, Gary's ASLUG publication.  Jeff and Dave get a personal lesson on how to use the special boards that Gary designed, like 1a, 2a, etc.  NOW we will always remember how to align them. The conversation ends with his time at Avalon Hill.  Next up, part two!SHOW LINKSNoneSHOW TIMES01: Chitty Chitty Chat Chat12:00 Gary Fortenberry44:36 Total Running TimeThe 2 Half-Squads is brought to you by Bounding Fire Productions, and kind donations from listeners like you.The views and opinions expressed on The 2 Half-Squads are not necessarily those of the hosts.

What happens when we stop seeing challenging behavior as a problem to fix and start seeing it as a developmental need to understand? In this episode, Danielle—a mother, educator, and doctoral researcher—joins the conversation to explore how adult expectations, reactions, and past experiences can shape children's behavior and how proactive, relationship-based approaches can create more successful environments for young children. We discuss the importance of play, developmentally appropriate expectations, and giving children the space to be messy, explore, and learn rather than focusing too heavily on academic readiness. Together, we explore alternative care settings, the importance of emotional and relational safety, and why sharing what we know about our children with their teachers can help build the relationships and support children need to thrive.Dr. Danielle Dushane is a former teacher and early interventionist. She is a mom of three and former foster parent. She has a Ph.D. in education and a Master's in Special Education and her research focuses on preschool and childcare expulsion. She is passionate about helping educators partner with families to support their children.September 17, 2026Episode 348Understanding Challenging Preschool Behaviors with Dr. Danielle DushaneAbout Your Host:Cara Tyrrell, M.Ed. is a mom or three, early childhood author, parent educator, and founder of⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Core4Parenting⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ A former preschool and kindergarten teacher with degrees in ASL, Linguistics, and Education, she created the Collaborative Parenting Methodology™ to help parents, caregivers, and educators understand the power of intentional language in shaping a child's identity, confidence, and future success.As host of the top-ranking podcast Transforming the Toddler Years, Cara blends science and soul to show adults how to “talk to kids before they can talk back,” turning tantrums into teachable moments and everyday challenges into opportunities for connection.

“Fuck it: save the day first, apologise later.”   In this episode of Fictional Hangover, Amanda and Claire talk about having a tree dangle, learning how to say fuck that bitch in ASL, and two lessons they've learned: never be happy and name your giant fire breathing lizard in their discussion of Sisters of the Lizard by Jackson Ford, featuring the author for Would You Rather.

What if one of the most powerful skills we can give our children is the ability to think creatively when no one is there to entertain them? In this episode, we explore the important difference between creative thinking—the ability to imagine possibilities, solve problems, and generate ideas—and creative play, which is how children put those ideas into action. We discuss why boredom and independent play are essential opportunities for children to strengthen their “creative thinking muscle” and why adults can sometimes unintentionally limit imagination by insisting on what is real. Through a powerful story about a family on a device-free dinner outing, we explore the importance of nurturing children's expansive imaginations while also eventually teaching them when to distinguish fantasy from reality. The episode ends with a simple challenge for parents and educators: encourage creativity by asking two powerful questions—“What if?” and “I wonder.”

A century before MLS, decades ahead of the NASL, and long before American soccer became a regular part of the sports landscape, the United States already had a thriving professional league capable of attracting big crowds, paying real salaries and even luring talent away from Europe. Author Mark Franek, whose new book "American Soccer Nation" traces 150 years of the game's often-overlooked U.S. history, joins us to revisit one of its most remarkable chapters: the rise and fall of the original American Soccer League, launched in 1921 and at its peak during the Roaring Twenties. Backed by companies such as Bethlehem Steel and other industrial powers of the era, the ASL featured colorful clubs, deep-pocketed owners and some of the best players American soccer had yet produced — including prolific scoring star Archie Stark. At its height, the league was successful enough to raid European rosters, prompting British newspapers to warn of an "American Menace." But prosperity gave way to infighting. Franek helps untangle the ASL's increasingly bitter battles with U.S. soccer's governing body over cup competition, scheduling, money and control — tensions that erupted into the so-called "Soccer War" just before the Great Depression devastated the league's ownership base and working-class fan communities. Along the way, we discuss how the ASL helped lay the groundwork for the U.S. team's surprising run at the inaugural 1930 World Cup, why so much of this history has slipped from popular memory, and how many of the sport's century-old arguments still echo today. We also explore Franek's work teaching soccer history at Philadelphia Union-affiliated YSC Academy, the educational roots behind "American Soccer Nation," and why he believes the current American game may finally have the infrastructure to break its long cycle of boom, bust and rebirth. + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY BUY THE BOOK:  "American Soccer Nation: The Remarkable 150-Year History of Yanks on a Roll, from Mob Football to the Modern Game": https://amzn.to/4xlODFm SPONSOR THANKS:  Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.royalretros.com/?ref=SEATS Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

'Actors are emotional athletes. Taking on all this emotion and processing it in a safe container is like an emotional shower for the soul.'Actress and American Sign Language interpreter Sharon Pierre-Louis (Django Unchained, Switched at Birth) joins Claire to discuss her journey through the performing arts, from church plays in her Haitian-American upbringing to Hollywood sets and Deaf theater. Sharon shares how a sixth-grade crush initially led her to the stage, how learning ASL to communicate with her brother opened new career pathways, and how she navigated systemic barriers as a Black actress in university and Los Angeles.We explore the therapeutic power of acting as an emotional release, the challenges of balancing motherhood, self-tapes, and industry strikes, and what happened when Sharon realized her 'joy reservoir' was running on empty. Sharon also introduces Pepli, a digital platform she created as a 'LinkedIn for creatives' to help artists collaborate, book work, and build genuine community without chasing social media algorithms.Bridging Worlds with ASL: Discovering her deaf brother as a child, learning American Sign Language, and later combining her passions on camera in Switched at Birth and on stage with Deaf West Theater.Breaking Casting Barriers: How Sharon proactively sought out auditions at FAMU (a historically Black university) while at Florida State to ensure she was never limited by industry stereotypes.The 'Emotional Athlete' and  The Joy Reservoir: Why acting acts as an emotional shower for processing complex feelings, and how stepping away during motherhood inspired Sharon to replenish her creative energy.Pepli: A Digital Haven for Artists: The story behind Sharon's new app designed for performers, visual artists, and arts organizations to collaborate, find auditions, and share their artistic process without bottomless feeds or algorithm pressure.Find Pepli in the App or Play Store, or find out more at pepliapp.com.Pepli on Instagram.You might also like:When Law Isn't Right, But Theatre is with Tara L LaceySilence and the Creative Spark with Marneta ViegasScience to Sound with Liz DrurySupport the showFollow @CreativityFoundPodcast on InstagramWant to be a guest on Creativity Found?

Sinema kulübümüzün 31inci buluşmasında yönetmenliğini Sofia Coppola'nın yaptığı, başrollerinde Bill Murray ve Scarlett Johansson'ın oynadığı 2003 yapımı Türkçe'ye Bir Konuşabilse ismiyle çevrilen “Lost in Translation” adlı filmini konuştuk.Film, Tokyo'da bir otelde karşılaşan iki Amerikalının hikâyesini anlatıyor: kariyerinin sonbaharındaki bir aktör ile henüz kendi hayatını arayan genç bir kadın. İkisi de kendi hayatlarında bir tür görülmeme, anlaşılmama hissiyle boğuşurken, hiç bilmedikleri bir dilde ve kültürde birbirlerini buluyorlar.Film, 2004'te En İyi Özgün Senaryo Oscar'ını kazanmış; ilginç bir detay olarak da Coppola'nın o dönemki eşi Spike Jonze'un on yıl sonra çektiği "Her" filmiyle bu filme bir tür sanatsal cevap verdiği söyleniyor.Sohbetimizde en çok yalnızlık teması üzerinde durduk. Tokyo'nun otuz milyonu aşan nüfusuna rağmen dünyanın en içine kapanık şehirlerinden biri olması, filmin arka planındaki yalnızlığı bizce daha da keskinleştiriyordu. Japonya'nın Amerikan sinemasında sık kullanılan bir dekor olmasının İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası kurulan kültürel-teknolojik bağdan geldiğini, filmdeki bazı abartılı Japonya tasvirlerinin de bu tarihten beslendiğini konuştuk.İki karakter arasındaki çekimin cinsel mi yoksa bir boşluğu doldurma hâli mi olduğu üzerine görüş ayrılığımız oldu. Kimimiz bunu, ikisinin de evliliklerinde göremedikleri ilgiyi birbirlerinde bulması olarak okudu; kimimiz ise daha karmaşık, adı konulamayan bir yakınlık olduğunu düşündü. Filmin merkezine iletişimi ve anlaşılmayı koyduğunu; tercümanın viski reklamı sahnesinde ya da final sahnesindeki fısıltıda olduğu gibi, kelimelerin bazen hiçbir şey iletmediğini ama bakışların, sessizliğin çok şey söylediğini konuştuk.Beni en çok düşündüren de bir insanın bu kadar tanıdığı ve bir ömür paylaştığı biriyle nasıl bu tür bir kopukluk yaşayabildiği oldu. Aslında bu çok karşılaşılan bir durum. Hayat mücadelesine kapılıp çocukların okulu, evin tadilatı, faturaların ödenmesi gibi işlerin peşine düştüğümüzde bir eş olmanın sorumluluğunu da keyfini de unutuyoruz. İlişki hiç böyle başlamamış olsa da. O nedenle iletişim ve o iletişime duyguyu, dayanışmayı katmak çok önemli. En kıymetlilerimizden bu özeni esirgemek zaman zaman hepimizin düştüğü tuzak oluyor sanırım, nazımızı çektirirken.Bu bölümde görüşlerine yer verebildiğim arkadaşlarım sırasıyla Fatih Yıldız, Ebru Başaran ve Feyza Demir oldu.Support the show

What if understanding toddler behavior—not controlling it—is the key to better communication, cooperation, and connection? In this special listener-inspired episode, I explore the biggest challenges facing parents, caregivers, and early childhood educators, including toddler tantrums, big feelings, emotional regulation, challenging behaviors, transitions, routines, and learning how to communicate with young children. I reveal that what adults truly want isn't simply better behavior or obedience, but stronger relationships, emotional intelligence, relational intelligence, and practical tools for communicating with toddlers and young children. Whether you're parenting a toddler, working in early childhood education, or caring for young children, this episode offers a powerful reminder that emotional safety, connection, and intentional communication are the foundation for cooperation, positive relationships, and lifelong learning.Interested in the Sign to Speak - The Communication Bridgeon-demand course that teaches you how to communicate effectively with your baby as they learn to talk?

Aslında ABD Başkanı Trump'ın Mekke Savunma İttifakı'na ilk tepkisi pozitifti. Açıklamasında “Nihayet…” ve “Çok mutluyum” vurguları dikkat çekiyordu. Trump'ın bölgesel meselelere ilişkin gayri resmi sözcüsü Thomas Barrack da İttifak'ı olumlamıştı. Bu yüzden ABD'yi “İttifak'tan rahatsız olan ülkeler” listesine yazamazdık. Ancak geçtiğimiz günlerde üzerinde pek durulmayan önemli bir haber yayınlandı. Trump'ın İran savaşı sonrasına ilişkin bir çalışma yaptığı sızdırıldı. Hedef, ABD garantörlüğünde, İran'ı enterne edecek bölgesel bir uyum/hizalanma/eksen oluşturulmasıydı. ABD'nin kurgusu Mekke İttifakı'yla konuşur mu yoksa çelişir mi?

American Sign Language is used by the deaf, hearing-impaired, and those who teach, live, and work with them, which totals up to around two million people in North America. But an award-winning and best-selling children's book author, Kathleen Marcath, believes many more kids should learn ASL. “It provides many educational and social advantages,” she says.“What truly sets this book apart is its thoughtful inclusion of American Sign Language (ASL),” says the author of My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere with Me, and a companion book, My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere with Me: Coloring and Activity Book. Each page introduces children  new to ASL signs and helpful tips, seamlessly blending play with education. From the moment I opened the book, the integration of sign language stood out as both unique and valuable. It's rare to see a children's activity book that so beautifully encourages communication and inclusivity while remaining entertaining.The learning opportunities feel endless. I could easily envision this being used not only at home but also within classroom settings. The educational value is immense, as children develop language, fine motor, and cognitive skills while discovering a new way to communicate through ASL. Her book is a vibrant new adventure in learning and play. Additionally, she has a 77-page color & activity book that provides fun and helps young readers discover the limitless potential of American Sign Language (ASL). Packed with variety, the coloring and activity book offers everything from sentence-writing practice and time-telling exercises to vocabulary building and art activities along with monster trucks, puzzles, mazes, early math, and writing prompts, this book gives children a hands-on way to explore language and build confidence through play. Whether your child is just beginning to sign or already loves ASL, they'll find pages filled with laughter, challenge, and discovery.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Could that endless chorus of “Mama, mama, mama” actually be an important milestone in your toddler's language development?In this episode, we explore why toddlers repeatedly say a parent or caregiver's name before nearly every sentence as they practice the connection between attention, communication, and relationships. Rather than a behavior meant to frustrate you, this repetition is a developmental learning phase that helps children build confidence and strengthen the neural pathways involved in expressive language. We also discuss how responding with connection-based phrases like “Yes, love” instead of the automatic “What?” can support your child's communication while reducing frustration for both of you. Tune in to learn how small changes in the words and tone you use can nurture connection and help your toddler's language truly explode. Take my two-minute survey!

Elsewhere in sports, USC responds to the light crowd at their season opener last weekend, Kelsey Plum is done for the season, Ryan Clark gets a new gig after losing his job at ESPN, fake football players are apparently a "thing", and a youth football coach tried to fight EVERYONE at a game. Today's September 1st, so we took a peek at some things to look forward to in the coming month...including movies, TV shows, sports, and holidays. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who stole a car and drove directly to jail while being chased by the cops, a possible ban on walking & texting in Italy, a dude in the UK who had some trouble throwing drugs into a prison, a guy at a Subway who got pissed when they tried to charge him extra for toasting his sammich, and a lawsuit in Colorado claims that chronic understaffing at Dollar Tree stores has made the stores a "hunting ground" for public masturbators.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Remember when the internet was fun?Not useful. Not safe. Definitely not well designed. But fun.We kick things off with the absolutely bonkers financial numbers coming out of OnlyFans, including the reported $30 billion paid to creators since launch and $6.3 billion paid out in 2025 alone. Sounds like everybody should immediately quit their jobs, right?Well, maybe hang onto that health insurance.The show crunches another number: out of roughly 5 million registered creator accounts, only 5,076 have earned more than $1 million on the platform. Suddenly the “easy money” plan starts looking suspiciously like every other entertainment career.Naturally, this becomes a discussion about celebrity OnlyFans accounts, what exactly people are paying for, whether there's a male market for the platform, and the apparently untapped economic potential of vacuuming your house without a shirt on.Business school, but worse.Then the funny podcast nostalgia machine kicks into gear as Riz asks everybody to remember the websites and apps from the early days of the internet.MySpace. Napster. GeoCities. eBaum's World. ICQ. Strong Bad. Fark. The Chive. Chatroulette.Especially Chatroulette.Rafe perfectly describes the difference between Russian roulette and Chatroulette: Russian roulette gives you one bad chamber out of six. Chatroulette basically reversed those odds.The crew remembers AOL chat rooms, asking strangers “ASL?”, making actual friends online before anybody's parents understood what was happening, and the glorious period when the internet felt like a collection of weird little neighborhoods instead of six giant companies demanding that you accept cookies.Moon also takes us back to mp3.com and the early days of the internet changing the music business. Story of the Year's “Until the Day I Die” actually reached the top of the site's download rankings, beating massive songs from artists including Nelly, Eminem and Evanescence right before mp3.com disappeared.So technically Moon retired as champion.Please respect the belt.The nostalgia continues when the crew gets into Sony and PlayStation reminding consumers that digitally purchased games are licensed rather than truly owned. That means no physical copy sitting on the shelf, no lending your game to a buddy, no selling it later and fewer weird little pieces of physical media surviving long enough to show up in an antique shop 40 years from now.Which somehow leads directly into vintage Playboy magazines.Obviously.Rafe and Riz remember the old-school barbershops where guys sat around, dirty jokes flew freely, every haircut was basically the same haircut, everything smelled like Barbicide and there might just be a Playboy sitting in the waiting area.Rafe remembers the legendary six-dollar haircut at Tally's Barbershop in Du Quoin, Illinois, while the crew tries to determine whether “barbicide” sounds more like disinfectant or a felony committed against someone's hair.This funny podcast then shifts into Crap on Celebrities, where the crew covers Kiss selling its brand rights, developments surrounding the Tupac murder trial, Taylor Momsen joining surviving members of Soundgarden for an NFL halftime performance, upcoming comedy documentaries, Glenn Close defending Kim Kardashian, and the planned return of the Donnie Darko universe.That's also where Riz finally confesses something:He has never seen Donnie Darko.He has, however, apparently spent years pretending he has.Honestly, knowing there's a creepy bunny and an airplane engine is probably enough to fake your way through 80% of conversations about that movie.The entertainment rundown also includes Ryan Gosling producing a new live-action Flintstones project before Lern closes things out with a tribute to Dolly Parton—remembering her humor, philanthropy, Imagination Library, enormous generosity and ability to take criticism without ever losing sight of exactly who she was.And then comes the announcement Moon has been sitting on for years.Greek Fire is returning to the stage.Moon announces a headline show at Delmar Hall on Saturday, October 17—the band's first headline show in seven years. They'll play new material ahead of a larger release planned for next year, with Native Monster joining them and a portion of every ticket sold supporting Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital as part of the Rizz Show October fundraiser.Moon promises full-blown rock theater.Riz promises “hardness.”We were extremely close to ending this episode professionally.So there it is: OnlyFans economics, dead websites, sketchy chat rooms, mp3.com glory, digital ownership, vintage Playboys, barbershop jokes, entertainment gossip, Dolly Parton and Greek Fire finally returning.Another funny podcast that started with financial analysis and ended with Riz discussing hardness.Harvard Business Review could never.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Talk, talked. Walk, walked. Go...went? In this episode, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne get enthusiastic about the many ways that languages are irregular in their patterns! We talk about sound and spelling irregularity, word irregularity and euphemisms, grammatical irregularity and fossils of older systems, and how irregularity is perhaps the most regular thing about languages. We also talk about those parts of systems that seem to be magnets for attracting irregularity, like negation in signed languages and common words generally, how kids learn irregular patterns in a U-shaped curve, and perhaps the most fun kind: jocular irregularity like octopodes and more.

We've used the metaphor of a musical instrument several times when talking about how the human vocal tract is organized, and how you can change the shape of your mouth as the air is on the way out, which changes what the air sounds like. We've used a couple of different musical instruments as metaphors, the meat clarinet, the meat bassoon, the meat bagpipe… but Gretchen just couldn't get that original imagery of the meat clarinet out of her head (maybe it's because she played clarinet in high school band). So Lauren was eventually persuaded that what we really need in our lives is some art of the human vocal tract and a clarinet merged together, in… meat colours (Lauren would like it noted that she thinks this art is deeply cursed and will not be buying any). (No, it's not anatomically accurate because the mouth of the clarinet would have to be your mouth and we decided that was even more disturbing.) If you want to see how our artist Lucy Maddox even went above and beyond and offered us several horrifying meat textures in the concept phase, join us on Patreon.

In this Lingthusiasm zine, Gretchen gets a little bit too enthusiastic about this horrifying metaphor to encourage you to explore the workings of your own meat clarinet. https://lingthusiasm.com/zines In this month's bonus episode we get enthusiastic about how the structure of a language influences what forms of poetry are possible in the language! We talk about why so much English poetry depends on not putting the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABle, how languages that don't have word-level stress like French write poetry based on syllable counts instead, how English speakers write haiku in a way that's actually subtly shifted for the constraints of the language, and how signed languages like ASL use handshape repetition for poetry.

What happens when a patient can't communicate with the team caring for them? On this episode of the Elevate Care podcast, host Christin Stanford talks with Erin Dougherty Cieszynski, Manager of Guest Relations and Patient Experience at Main Line Health, about what language access looks like once a policy meets a patient in an exam room. This conversation is part two of a series with Main Line Health, following a leadership-level discussion on operational strategy with Suzanne Smith. Check out part one! Erin brings over 12 years of patient advocacy experience to a conversation grounded in real moments from the floor: emergency department visits, registration desks, and the quiet handoffs between nurse, patient, and family. She walks through how Main Line Health moved from reactive interpreter use to automatic activation, why a universal sign-on changed adoption rates among clinicians, and how something as simple as a badge buddy can close a communication gap before it becomes a safety risk. Erin also shares how an ASL interpreter helped identify a hearing-impaired patient as a victim of human trafficking, connecting the dots between language access, patient safety, and trust. Throughout, she reframes language services as a driver of stronger patient outcomes, better satisfaction scores, and increased community referrals, not just a regulatory requirement. Key Takeaways Language access should be automatic at the start of care, not a last resort. Reducing friction through universal app sign-on, badge buddies, and dual handsets drives faster clinician adoption. Patients who feel heard are more likely to return, refer others, and engage in preventive care. Language access touches the entire patient journey, from registration through discharge and follow-up. Strong interpreter access supports both patient safety and staff satisfaction. Health systems should expect deeper digital integration and a shift toward population-mapped language access strategy.

Google's announced its latest gadgets at its "Made by Google" event The Pixel 11 – it has the same phone wide camera bar, but it's 40% thinner. It's got more powerful wireless charging, it's 25% faster, and boasts 30+ hours of battery. It now comes with a built in 'teleprompter' view when recording a selfie – just one of the new 'creator features'. Gemini can make phone calls for you too. But it's the Pixel Tag that caught my attention – finally, the Android version of the AirTag is here. It's more of a pill shape than Apple's circle. It has many of the same features —directions to the tag, a speaker to help you find it, leave behind alerts— but has a great feature that lets you use your Pixel Tag to make your phone ring when you've lost that! They'll launch in November. And let's file this one in the AI for good category... Google has effectively built Google Translate for American Sign Language. A Deaf person can sign at their phone instead of typing to do a Google search, write a text/email, or ask Gemini a question. And in a face-to-face conversation, they can sign their reply, and it appears as text for the other person to read. The video never leaves your phone for additional privacy, instead the hand, finger and arm tracking coordinates are what are sent. And one man in Australia found out what happens when you give an AI agent a goal... it works to complete it Though whatever means necessary! The agent managed to find holes in the gym booking system to book him into classes weeks out, and also managed to kick someone off a waitlist so he could get on.

Host Jo Reed talks with contributor Kendra Winchester about three audiobooks that explore disability and offer distinct perspectives on community, resilience, and belonging. They begin with Mother Tongue by Sara Nović, narrated by Lisa Flanagan, a memoir that blends personal experience with Deaf history and culture while using inventive audio production to incorporate ASL into the listening experience. Next is A Way Home by Cinelle Barnes, read by the author, a brilliantly written, emotionally layered memoir that interweaves recovery from a brain aneurysm, an overdue return to the Philippines, and a search for home and self, with Barnes' authentic narration adding another dimension to the listening experience. They conclude with All My Dead Cats and Other Losses by s.e. smith, performed by Em Grosland, which uses the stories of the author's cats as springboards for a thoughtful exploration of grief, disability, memory, and the many ways we mourn, with Grosland's restrained, deeply empathetic narration giving Smith's reflections room to resonate. Together, these three audiobooks invite listeners to rethink disability—not as a single experience but as a rich and varied part of what it means to be human.   Audiobooks Discussed Mother Tongue by Sara Nović, read by Lisa Flanagan (Random House Audio) A Way Home: A Memoir of Losing Yourself, and the Beauty of Returning written and read by Cinelle Barnes (Brilliance Audio) All My Dead Cats and Other Losses: Practicing Good Grief in a Culture That Fears Mourning by s.e. smith, read by Em Grosland (Harper Audio) Learn more about your ad choices.

Redefining Football Business: Commercial Strategy, Motherhood & Leadership with Aslı Koç Tiryak This week's podcast special guest is Aslı Koç Tiryak – Football Industry Executive, former Head of Commercial & Sustainability at Istanbul Başakşehir FK, member of the European Club Association / European Football Clubs committees, and founder of LOBA a consultancy focused on strategy, marketing, communications, and sustainability in football. From falling in love with the Premier League as a young girl in Turkey to helping Istanbul Başakşehir become Turkish champions and regulars in European competitions, Aslı's journey shows what happens when you combine curiosity, analytical thinking, and courage to "think differently" in a traditionally male‑dominated industry. She now works with clubs and organisations on redefining commercial strategy with sustainability and social impact at the core. In this conversation, Aslı shares how a non‑linear path (starting in chemistry, moving into events, media, and club football) shaped her unique way of solving problems, why sustainability became the brand positioning for Başakşehir, how she navigates motherhood and leadership in football, and why she believes football is one of the most powerful tools for social and environmental change. What You'll Discover: From chemistry lab to a Football Club : How Aslı intentionally chose chemistry because of her obsession with asking "why?", and how that scientific, puzzle‑solving mindset now shapes her work in commercial strategy and sponsorship. Redefining a club branding through sustainability: The story behind questioning a "grey kit", why there was no strategic answer, and how that simple "why?" led to Başakşehir positioning sustainability at the heart of its brand, turning alternative kits into a playground for environmental messages and award‑winning campaigns. Becoming Turkish champions and entering Europe: What it meant to join Başakşehir in its fourth year, win the Turkish Super League, qualify for the Champions League, reach a Europa League quarterfinal, and suddenly be responsible for organising matches against European giants – including meeting childhood heroes like Sir Alex Ferguson. Looking ahead to EURO 2032 and Turkish football's transformation: Why co‑hosting EURO 2032 with Italy is a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity for Turkey, and how governance, structure, and entertainment‑driven experiences must evolve to unlock football's full potential. Motherhood as the ultimate leadership programme: How becoming a mother has changed her leadership – from empathy and vulnerability to sharper focus on where she spends time and energy – and why she wants her daughter (and other girls) to know they do not have to choose between family and an ambitious career. Founding Loba and serving the wider ecosystem: The story behind planning LOBA 18 months before leaving Başakşehir, what Loba actually does for clubs, leagues, brands, and investors, and how it aims to prepare Turkish and European football for a more strategic and sustainable future.  Aslı shares how  Curiosity, relationships, and authenticity as career cornerstones and much more.

Breaking The Silence with Dr Gregory Williams ASL Picture Books and the Power of Accessible Communication Dr. Gregory Williams hosts Breaking the Silence with guest Kathleen Marcath for a heartfelt conversation about American Sign Language, deaf and hard-of-hearing children, inclusive picture books, My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere With Me, ASL classifiers, deaf representation, brain benefits, classroom learning, family communication, and the hope that sign language can become more visible, normal, and accessible for everyone. This week's guest is Kathleen Marcath. She is an award-winning author and Amazon best-seller who is celebrated for her engaging children's book. "My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere with Me" This book teaches children 32 signs in American Sign Language. Guest Spotlight: Kathleen Marcath This episode of Breaking the Silence, hosted by Dr. Gregory Williams and dated August 9, 2026, features guest Kathleen Marcath is the author of My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere With Me and related ASL learning resources. Dr. Gregory Williams Opens With Gratitude, Housekeeping, and Hope Dr. Gregory Williams opens from Houston, Texas, welcoming listeners, noting the approaching back-to-school season, and sharing updates about his own writing projects. He mentions the upcoming seventh anniversary of Breaking the Silence, gives call-in and text information, praises the BBS Radio team, and introduces the evening's guest as a subject he has never quite had on the show before. His personal connection is immediate: he recalls having deaf family members, watching relatives communicate through sign language, and wishing he had learned more himself. Kathleen Marcath's Path Into American Sign Language Kathleen explains that her interest in sign language began at a retreat where a group learned to sign the song “Our God Is an Awesome God.” That experience stayed with her, eventually leading her to study sign language at Madonna University. While taking a class that required her to choose and sign a picture book, she looked for children's books that naturally included signing children but could not find what she wanted. Years later, after working in schools and spending time with her grandson, she entered a writing contest and realized her story could become the kind of ASL picture book she had once searched for. Why Representation and Natural ASL Learning Matter The conversation highlights the importance of representing deaf and hard-of-hearing children in books and classrooms. Kathleen says American Sign Language is a full language, even though it is not spoken, and describes how children become excited when they learn it. She shares a classroom story about a child she calls Jonathan, who began to smile and participate more after using sign language activities to tell simple stories. Dr. Williams connects this to his own awe at watching deaf relatives communicate, emphasizing how powerful and overlooked this form of communication can be. My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere With Me and the 32 Signs Kathleen describes My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere With Me as a fun, natural way to introduce ASL. Each page includes at least one sign, and the book teaches 32 signs. To support readers, the back of the book includes QR codes linking to videos with deaf storytellers signing the story and teaching the signs with variations. Dr. Williams praises the book's layout, illustrations, and accessibility, noting that even someone unfamiliar with ASL can begin to understand what is being shown. Kathleen explains that babies can learn sign language from birth and emphasizes that it is not “baby sign language,” but sign language that babies learn. Deaf Illustration, Purple Monster Trucks, and ASL Classifiers Kathleen explains that it was important to her to work with a deaf illustrator, and she found Isaac Ling in Singapore, who created the storyboard and drawings, while Perdi Mira handled the coloring. Dr. Williams praises the book's bright color and asks about the purple monster truck, which Kathleen says emerged after the original red did not feel right. The discussion also explores ASL classifiers, especially the vehicle classifier used for the monster truck. Kathleen explains that after a signer identifies an object, a classifier can represent it throughout the story, making it a powerful storytelling tool. Activity Books, Schools, Seniors, and Untapped ASL Potential Kathleen discusses the companion coloring and activity book, which includes 77 pages of coloring, math, writing, clocks, handshapes, and activities meant to work for younger children as well as first-, second-, and third-grade students. Dr. Williams asks why ASL is not taught more widely in schools, and Kathleen points to deaf history, oralism, signing debates, teacher preparation, and the need for even small daily exposure when deaf children are present. She describes ASL as an untapped resource with unlimited potential, useful not only for children but also for seniors, couples, underwater communication, space, baseball signs, and everyday across-the-room communication. Website Resources, Freebies, and the Call for Broader Awareness Kathleen directs listeners to ASLPictureBooks.com, where people can find her books, blog, favorite-book resources, free charts, coloring pages, and information about classifiers, signer space, and sign selection. Dr. Williams repeatedly frames the book as a valuable gift for children, grandchildren, families, and anyone who wants a gentle introduction to ASL. Kathleen also mentions other authors and books connected with deaf representation, including stories about deaf and deaf-blind children and families learning to communicate. Together, they present ASL as not only practical, but normal, fun, brain-engaging, and deeply human. Closing Encouragement: Hope, Resilience, and Never Giving Up After saying goodbye to Kathleen, Dr. Williams closes with a message for children and families heading into the school year. He reminds listeners that no matter what they are facing, there is always a better day and always hope. Using the image of the sun setting behind him over the Texas Medical Center, he says that no matter how dark things get outside or inside, the sun will rise again tomorrow. He encourages children and adults to hold on, stay resilient, discover the resilience already inside them, and return next week for Chief Matt's appearance.

Mike has brought along  ASL Action Pack #22: A World at War. We open this box and find 3 new maps and 12 new scenarios and take a gander at this fine product.Does a pin result affect a motorcyclist?  Can a motorcycle Bog?  We don't know but we are about to find out.  It is time to finish the motorcycle rules that we started last show.  Dennis visits to review the art on the Chef du Pont box. And he provided the lyrics to the opening song, Never Gonna Give it Up.  We think the lyrics are clear enough in the song and don't need to be listed here.SHOW LINKSAction Pack #22SHOWTIMES00:01 Song05:00 What's in the Box?20:00 Rules 17:00 What Have You Been Playing Lately?24:00 Rules 59:35 Total Running Time> Download this episode (right click and save)

On this day, 3 August 1945, a group in Melbourne called the Australian Soldiers' Legion (ASL) met up with a family called the Wagglens, which included a homeless, wounded World War II veteran, his wife and children, and squatted a house in Bell Street, Hawthorn. As members of the media watched on, ASL members entered the empty home and carried furniture in through the window. The group claimed to have identified 41 other empty houses, suitable for occupation, and to have settled 13 families in some of them in areas including Brighton, Newport, Camberwell and Kew. On the same day, a homeless veteran in Sydney squatted a house in the suburb of Auburn. They were emulating the actions of the Brighton Vigilantes in England, who had begun taking over empty properties. While the government officially commented that it "would not tolerate threatening act" and threatened police action, they did also announce they would introduce legislation to give local authorities power to install tenants in empty homes.On the same day in Sydney, a homeless ex-soldier squatted an empty home on Marion Street, Auburn. He told the communist newspaper the Tribune: "Forcible possession of homes will not solve the housing problem. Only new houses will do that. But what other avenue is open to a man in desperate circumstances like me?" More information, sources and maps for both of these stories in the On This Day section of our Stories app at https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/date/todayPictured: An Australian squatting family at this timeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

We also preview new episodes of Mindful Mondays, Theatrically Authentic, Creative Becoming, Regulation Station, Neuro Complex Creative, Two Mics, No Masking, The Neurodivergent Experience, Autism Help, Under the Lights, and an Autistic Culture Podcast Rewind exploring why Pokémon has become such an enduring autistic special interest.Plus, we share community news, including autism-friendly race days, a new communication app from Stimpunks, and a forthcoming book on navigating change and uncertainty as a neurodivergent adult.Whether you're catching up on the latest stories, discovering a new favourite podcast, or connecting with the wider autistic community, we're glad you're here.

In this uplifting episode, Jed welcomes back Kathy McMillan, ASL interpreter, children's librarian, and creator of the new picture book series "Sign the Seasons." Kathy shares how the four-book series—starting with Sign the Seasons: Fall—invites kids and families to learn American Sign Language through everyday seasonal concepts like trees, squirrels, and weather. She explains how Familius Publishing partnered with her in a uniquely thoughtful way, involving her in every stage of illustration and bringing in both an ASL/Deaf culture advisor and an early childhood education advisor (a Coda) to ensure the books are accurate, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate. Kathy talks about her journey from children's librarian to nationally certified interpreter, and how signing with her own hearing son from birth transformed their communication. She busts the myth that signing stops kids from talking, emphasizing that communication begets communication and that signing supports early literacy, emotional regulation, and strong parent–child connection. Along the way, she offers fascinating insights into Deaf culture, ASL "accents," and even emerging sign languages like Nicaraguan Sign Language. In the second half of the episode, Jed is joined by author Ashley Mosley and conservation biologist Michael Windelspecht  to celebrate their picture book "This Birdie Told Me." Inspired by a real scarlet macaw ambassador at the Belize Zoo, the story gently introduces young readers to endangered species, rainforest habitats, and the importance of knowing who you are. Ashley and Michael share how their books, classroom toolkits, and conservation partnerships in Belize help kids everywhere fall in love with wildlife—and feel empowered to protect it.

What if the missing piece to raising cooperative kids isn't sharing, but learning how to compromise? In this episode, we explore why compromise is a skill that develops through emotional regulation, not simply expecting children to "work it out." You'll learn how helping children understand another person's perspective creates the foundation for genuine collaboration. We also discuss why jumping in with solutions can actually limit problem-solving and how curiosity can empower children to create their own win-win plans. By teaching the process of compromise from an early age, we help children build lifelong skills in communication, empathy, and healthy conflict resolution.Don't miss a thing!

What if teaching your toddler to manage time isn't about timers at all, but about giving them the chance to make their own decisions? In this episode, I explain why toddlers are capable of developing time management skills much earlier than most people realize when we shift from directing to guiding. I share practical strategies for setting clear expectations, asking thoughtful questions, and giving children enough time to process and plan their actions before transitions. You'll discover how small language shifts can strengthen executive functioning, build independence, and reduce power struggles around everyday routines like cleaning up before dinner. Plus, I remind parents that time management is just one of several essential life skills—and it's okay to focus on one developmental goal at a time.Don't miss a thing!
