Podcasts about Awkward Family Photos

Guest host Molly Thomas talks about the new, and old security measures that keep your car from being stolen. She also speaks to Omar Khan, who works with vulnerable youth about the recent spate of youth violence across the GTA. And, if you want to cast your mind back to a seemingly more simple time -- the time of the awkward family photo complete with uncomfortable poses, matching denim, and cheesy smiles. Then we have a conversation for you; a chat with the person behind the new Awkward Family Photos studio.

What many people don't realize is that our ministries in life start in our own home. Sometimes we can work all day and give the left-over time and energy to our family, but is that what God is calling us to do? The fact is that if we put God first within our homes, we will be blessed! Everyone plays a role in the family. Whether you're a father, mother, son, or daughter, we all have a role that God has put before us. In this series "Awkward Family Photos," Pastor Brad will walk us through what it means to live a life for the Lord in and around the family atmosphere, even when things get awkward!

Interested in setting up a YouTube channel? Spencer and co-host Jared Bauman of 201 Creative explore some exciting updates for content creators today on Niche Pursuits News. First up is a new announcement from YouTube that they're lowering the threshold for channel monetization! While content creators used to need 1000 subscribers and 4000 long-form watch hours, now you need just 500 subscribers and 3000 long-form watch hours in the last 12 months to start earning money on the platform. Jared and Spencer talk about why they think YouTube changed the rules, and they also discuss other ways to monetize using the platform, such as channel memberships. Then they move on to talk about how Time magazine announced its plans to remove its digital paywall and give everyone their content for free. Their plan is to monetize with display ads, using the same model many bloggers and content creators are using.  The hosts move on to discuss data in a SEMRush report that revealed interesting statistics about search engine users, like the percentage who change their keywords before clicking and how very few searches led to clicks on the first result in the SERPs in 2022. It's clear that user patterns of search are changing. What does this mean for us? Jared and Spencer also discuss a recent article in Search Engine Journal about Google making its feedback form more robust. According to Twitter, this move will set the stage for more negative SEO, and the hosts share their thoughts on the implications. Will the positives outweigh the negatives with this new move from Google? In the Shiney Object Shenanigans portion of the podcast, Spencer talks about recent developments with his faceless YouTube channel.  Although the channel was making $80 to $90 a day, a copyright claim has almost eliminated all of his earnings. His appeal was ultimately denied, and he talks about his plans for moving forward, as well as other ideas for faceless YouTube channels. Jared finally reveals more details about his YouTube project, which will revolve around read-alouds for social-emotional learning by his wife, a seasoned school counselor. She'll be working on this project all summer and Jared will report back on their progress. In the last section of the podcast, Spencer talks about a weird niche site he found years ago based on a scene from Star Wars where Darth Vadar screams. The site was getting around 30k visitors per month back in 2015.  Although the original website no longer exists, there's a copycat site now, but it only gets a few thousand visitors per month. Jared talks about the site he found called Awkward Family Photos, created with user-generated content. He talks about how the site is monetized using ads and how it's ranking for 20k keywords even though it's just a photo site.  As it turns out, Spencer and his family play the Awkward Family Photo board game all the time. This example certainly makes you think about creative monetization opportunities you might not have thought about before!

Join us for an informative and lively discussion with two publishing professionals: a former literary agent and a current publishing sales executive. They'll go over the ABCs (really, the 4Cs) of pitching, including some time for audience participation that will put our two presenters in the hot seat. Lance Fitzgerald heads the Penguin Random House Audio editorial team as Vice President, Content and Business Development. Under his leadership, the team has acquired audio rights for the much anticipated new novel from Elena Ferrante, The Lying Life of Adults, the international sensation How Contagion Works by Paulo Giordano, soccer legend Hristo Stoichkov’s memoir, and more. He was previously Subsidiary Rights Director for over two decades, is a member of the Frankfurt Book Fair Foreign Rights Advisory Board, and has been a featured speaker at the Writer’s League of Texas, Authors and Artists Representatives, the Columbia and NYU Summer Publishing courses, the Young-to-Publishing Group, and at the Slice Writers Conference. Becka Oliver joined the Writers' League in September 2013 as Executive Director after more than sixteen years of experience working in book publishing. She spent much of her publishing career inside two of the “big six” publishing leaders – Macmillan and Hachette Book Group -- licensing domestic and foreign rights on behalf of countless notable authors, including Sandra Brown, Brad Meltzer, Nicholas Sparks, Jon Stewart and the Daily Show, and more. In 2007, she made the leap from Associate Director of Subsidiary Rights at Grand Central Publishing to Literary Agent, first at Endeavor and then at William Morris Endeavor (WME) after the two powerhouse talent agencies merged in 2009. As a literary agent, Becka represented clients working in both fiction and non-fiction, including Brunonia Barry, Sheryl Crow, Kamran Pasha, Joanna Philbin, Susan Rebecca White, and the popular blog Awkward Family Photos.

We're talking and you're eavesdropping!

Jesus is all about reconciliation–that’s why He came. He came to restore the broken relationship, the tense relationship between us and God.

This week Jon Patch chats with Mike Bender, Hollywood screenwriter and creator of the Awkward Family Pet Photos book and website. The authors of the New York Times bestseller Awkward Family Photos are back with a hilarious tribute to the unbreakable and sometimes uncomfortable bond between people and their pets. There are few things more rewarding than having a pet. They love us unconditionally, shower us with attention, and because of them, we actually live longer. So, what can possibly be awkward about our animal BFFs? Well . . . nothing. In fact, we’re the awkward ones. We adore our pets, but let’s face it - sometimes L-O-V-E makes us go a little overboard. Like giving them middle names, throwing them elaborate birthday parties, and making them a Christmas sweater to match with the rest of the family. Truth is, what they cherish most is our companionship. And maybe that’s the reason we care about them so much - because for such simple pleasures, they allow us to be as awkward as we want.

Includes a T.S Eliot Quote.This week we are thrilled to welcome Mike Bender to the DENtalks podcast. This episode touches on the importance of embracing nothingness and living in the moment, which all of us are faced with currently. You may know Mike as the writer of “Not Another Teen Movie,” or the author of two children’s books, or perhaps as the genius behind the hilarious blog “Awkward Family Photos.” Given the list of Mike’s many creative endeavors, we have A LOT to talk about in this episode. When Mike first started “Awkward Family Photos” in 2009 he was still working as a writer in Hollywood, but the immediate response to the website inspired him to go with the momentum and 11 years later, it has continued its legacy and even expanded into a docuseries AND touring museum! Mike talks with us about what inspired him to create Awkward Family Photos as well as the transition of an unexpected career change and how it altered his perspective to embrace ‘nothingness’ and live in the moment. We also talk about his diagnosis of Lyme disease and a program he’s been working to manage his symptoms called Dynamic Neural Retraining System. If you are suffering from any chronic illness such as depression, food sensitivities, PTSD, lyme disease etc, Mike explains to us how the DNRS program works to alleviate trauma in the limbic system and regain the building blocks that are needed for healing. Much like the Law of Attraction, we can actually rewire our brains with our thoughts so they stop triggering the neural pathways that cause us harm. At the end of the episode, Mike shares with us his favorite T.S. Eliot quote he uses as a reminder to embrace endings in life as something beautiful.***We're offering ALL OUR CLASSES VIRTUALLY!
