Through immersion in the work of these artists and psychoanalytic ideas, participants will walk away with a better understanding of the transformative process inherent of the act of creation itself, especially when used as a powerful disruption of narrative, and hopefully feel inspired themselves to create! In this discussion, Vanessa gives a sneak peek into each of the four parts of the course. Some highlights are: talking about the inspiration for the course;outlining the events that led to the creation of psychoanalysis as well as the avant-garde movement;expanding on the historical backdrop – what was happening during these years that created this paradigm shift;looking at the years leading up to WW1, and what was taking place then, focusing on psychoanalysis and the avant-garde art scenes;focusing on surrealism and later developments in experimental film, followed by some discussion on the Beat Poets, and outlining how these three are interconnected;focusing on the birth of pop art, and art as it moved from the galleries to the streets, as well as performance art that included the body as an important vehicle/tool of expression. PROGRAM NOTES:Vanessa's website (with all links): Dr Vanessa SinclairMorbid Anatomy Course:The Cut in Creation: Exploring the Avant-Garde, Dada, Surrealism, Modern Art, Noise Music, and Performance Art through a Psychoanalytic Lens, Led by Vanessa Sinclair, PsyD, Begins May 25 — Morbid AnatomySelected Works:Amazon.com: Scansion in Psychoanalysis and Art (Art, Creativity, and Psychoanalysis Book Series): 9780367567262: Sinclair, Vanessa: BooksAmazon.com: The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: 9781032603827: Sinclair, Vanessa, Punzi, Elisabeth, Sauer, Myriam: BooksPodcast Rendering Unconscious:Podcast – Dr Vanessa SinclairInstagram:InstagramRobert Frank, Me and My Brother (1968)Me and My Brother (1968) - IMDbMusic, Editing and Video Production: Stephanie Shea

Author and musician PAUL WYLD joins us to discuss his new publication "Jim Morrison, Secret Teacher of the Occult."  This book is different from the numerous books that were popular in high school.  Paul gives us more cultural influences that impacted Jim such as the Beat Poets and the classic movie "Lawrence of Arabia."  There is his father's esteemed naval career and the chilling car wreck that Jim witnessed as a child.  Did they help to form Jim into a shaman?  We are well aware of his mesmerizing live performances and unmatched lyrics.   Should we be giving him more credit for waking us up to the Universal Mind?  This will be a captivating discussion on a leading pop culture icon.

Super stoked to announce a new guest, John Terlazzo, to The Story! John Terlazzo gave his first public poetry reading at Martin Memorial Library (York, PA) when he was eighteen years old. With virtually no publicity, he read his early poems to an audience numbering eighty-five that night. Out of that reading, and in the two years that followed, Terlazzo co-founded the York Poets Union, a loosely - knit group of some 300 poets & writers who presented public readings and writing workshops. A truly egalitarian group, each member had the right to call himself (or herself) "president" of the York Poets Union if that would in some way serve them.Since that time, Terlazzo has given hundreds of poetry readings and concerts of his original songs in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, and other areas of the U.S. as well as in Mexico, Canada & Europe. He has facilitated countless writing workshops for children and adults, served as poet-in -residence in the York (PA) city schools, has publicly read from, and discussed banned books for the American Library Association, has organized and hosted public readings for other poets and writers, has led poetry camping retreats, has brought his workshops to high schools, to former and present mental patients (In Vancouver, British Columbia & elsewhere), to psychologists, psychotherapists, and other helping professionals and to the general public as well. He taught his workshop, The Secret Tells Itself: Writing as a Contemplative Act at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center every Monday night for five years, and as part of the Crispus Attucks YouthBuild Program twice a week for three years. His popular weekend Retreat, The Flame in Every Hand: Writing as a Contemplative Act happens several times a year in various parts of the country.John has performed with various musical groups including The Widowed Horse Folk Revue, A Band of Beggars, and The New Transcendentalists, and for over 25 years now has been leader and songwriter for the ensemble Voices In The Hall. "Voices" offers up a rich array of strong vocal harmonies combined with old world instrumentation - acoustic guitars, accordion, flute, cello, mandolin, recorders & tin whistles, upright & fretless bass, percussion, piano & Hammond B3 organ. The result is a kind of Modern Surrealist Gypsy Music ( a phrase coined by an audience member after seeing the band perform in Lenox, MA) - a music that is both timeless & centering. John Terlazzo's songs and poems take us through a surreal other-worldly village terrain peopled by strange and glorious creatures - luminous antelopes, an angel with a broken trumpet, a dancing man balancing his dagger on the bridge of his nose, a blindfolded heroine on horseback whose burning hand illuminates the night, the veiled face of the Eternal. These are both love songs & mystical teaching tales, at once - and all too human, "like Marc Chagall gone aural."Terlazzo's first album, Honor Among Thieves (1983) has recently become a kind of international curiosity when a writer in Sweden reviewed the album in a book about "folk & psychedelic music from 1965 through 1985". As a result, the album - as well as Terlazzo's more recent works - have been selling throughout Europe, Canada and Asia (& even some in the U.S.!). Honor Among Thieves has recently been re-released for the first time on CD (& streaming) along with an additional 30 minutes of (previously unreleased) songs recorded Live in Concert in the 1970s, under the title Honor Among Thieves: A Retrospective.John Terlazzo speaks and howls, dances, whispers and raves when he reads poetry, sings or teaches in a classroom or retreat center. He laughs, invites us into our Wonder and our Grief, discusses ideas with his audience then and there, "sermonizes" and apologizes, and then takes it back and laughs some more, and he invites us into thirty-some odd years of his poetry and the great works of his teachers - Yeats and Whitman, Pablo Neruda and William Blake, Rimbaud and Baudelaire, Emerson and Thoreau, Machado and Vallejo, The Beat Poets, Robert Bly and Gary Snyder, The Persian Poets - Kabir, Mirabai, Rumi, Hafez and on and on. He tells endless folk tales from the Sufis and Buddhists, the Gnostics and Hindus and Gypsies and more - and has sometimes performed those tales in surreal ritual theatre style with his Eternal Yes Theatre. He states clearly that the ability to make Art is a human birthright and that it involves primarily - "opening a place in the chest - allowing the River to flow forth."Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-story/donations

Tony Tedeschi talks about his novel - Unfinished Business, Writing Techniques, and Life Stories. This is episode 407 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. In many respects, Tony Tedeschi's new novel, "Unfinished Business," is an outgrowth of his years working within the business world, as a writer of business proposals, business plans and two business books. It is also a reflection of his years traveling the world writing special sections for Audubon magazine, and articles for dozens of other magazines and newspapers spanning the U.S. from The New York Times to the Los Angeles Times. Tedeschi is editor and publisher of Natural Traveler Magazine®, a limited run print quarterly he founded in 2019. "That December I opened a Word doc, and dropped in stories and photos that colleagues I'd met over the years had been sharing with me," he says. "Suddenly, I had a 64-page version of my take on The Saturday Evening Post, where I had interned during my senior year in college." The holder of a B.A. in Journalism from New York University and M.A. in English Literature from Hofstra University, Tedeschi was greatly influenced by the cultural changes that were evolving around NYU's urban campus in Lower Manhattan in the 1960s. "Bob Dylan was playing the coffee houses, Woody Allen was doing standup, the Beat Poets and Progressive Jazz musicians were all over Greenwich Village," he says. "My co-editor and I at the NYU newspaper created a weekly insert to cover as much of that as we could and it made a lasting impression on me. When I graduated, I wanted to work for The Saturday Evening Post or The New Yorker. Alas I was 23, drafted by the Army but took a commission as an Air Force officer and, after four years training pilots for the Vietnam War, returned to New York with a wife and children and followed the dictates of family down divergent roads, all centered around a career as a writer. In addition to his newspaper and magazine journalism, Tedeschi has written two business books, "Live Via Satellite," about Comsat Corporation and the technology that launched the global communications revolution and "The Whitford Way," about the nonstick coating company that has made the world run more smoothly. He spent years collaborating with his mentor, Donald Bain, the ghostwriter of more than 100 mystery novels and author of the "Murder, She Wrote," mystery novels, spun off from the popular TV show. An accomplished photographer, Tedeschi's photos have illustrated much of his journalistic work. He is also a musician and composer, having recently completed his first musical play, "Leaving Pleasantville," about the 15-year period from 1955 to 1970, when Rock 'n' Roll changed the world of music. Tedeschi lives in Glen Cove, New York, with his wife, Candy, one of the country's preeminent gynecological nurse practitioners. They have three daughters and seven grandchildren About Tony's Book - “Unfinished Business” A horrific massacre happens in a small Honduran village, where a group of militiamen slaughter everyone in a hail of bullets. Eighteen years later, through a series of unrelated events, a mission for truth and revenge takes hold amidst the setting of a greedy, immoral boardroom of a large, multi-national corporation. The toll of human sacrifice in pursuit of greed drives a powerful exploration into why people cross lines to do what they do. Unfinished Business is a great character exploration into the mind of an unscrupulous CEO.  The story spans the world, from New York and Central America to the Caribbean and Europe, places that the author has traveled to. The dramatic tension is driven by the CEO, who is involved in stock manipulation and other business decisions that are so ego-driven they have destructive effects on the global conglomerate he heads. Some of the CEO's decisions, excused as “it's only business,” have terrible consequences, including the book's opening scene in Honduras. The character who seeks revenge for that crime is a metaphor for all those who have been devastated by the actions of unscrupulous business people. Nonetheless, the plot is a unique detective story, involving a business sleuth who must unravel the mystery of what is going on at the company and how it has impacted people, sometimes in lethal ways.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, a group of poets at UBC Vancouver began a little magazine: the TISH poetry newsletter. The TISH poets would later be called one of the most cohesive writing movements in Canadian literary history. In the summer of 2019, Craig Carpenter visited one of the former editors of TISH magazine —who is also his former professor of modern Canadian poetry. Based on interviews conducted during this visit and a subsequent visit in the winter of 2019, Craig has created an episode that explores his evolving relationship with his former professor and scenes from more than 50 years of literary history. Craig takes us through the relationships and the stories that formed a part of the TISH movement and the poet that Robert Hogg has become.Craig gives a heartfelt thank you to all those who took the time to offer feedback on early script drafts: Deanna Fong, Judith Burr, Mathieu Aubin, Marjorie Mitchell. Special thanks to Dr. Karis Shearer, all of his  colleagues at the UBC Okanagan AMP Lab, and, of course, to Robert Hogg.SpokenWeb is a monthly podcast produced by the SpokenWeb team as part of distributing the audio collected from (and created using) Canadian Literary archival recordings found at universities across Canada.

Show Notes and Links to Gustavo Arellano's Work and Allusions/Texts from Episode 56 On Episode 56, Pete welcomes Gustavo Arellano. The two talk about all kinds of interesting things-as Gustavo is a man of Orange County, a man of SoCal, and a man of the world-through his diverse interests, and prodigious and varied reading list. Nomenclature and identity, Gustavo's writing/journalism career at The OC Weekly and The Los Angeles Times, and his three books are also key topics of discussion. “Authenticity” in food, particularly with regard to Gustavo's encyclopedic knowledge of the history of Mexican food in the US, is also a fun discussion springboard.   Gustavo Arellano is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, covering Southern California everything and a bunch of the West and beyond. He previously worked at OC Weekly, where he was an investigative reporter for 15 years and editor for six, wrote a column called ¡Ask a Mexican! and is the author of Ask a Mexican, Orange County: A Personal History, and Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America. He's the child of two Mexican immigrants, one of whom came to this country in the trunk of a Chevy.

(with music) In season one of this podcast, recorded lo these many long moons ago and hundreds of miles away, one of the earliest episodes was called 'Fuck Apple.' (Actually I think it was 'f*ck' because I gave more fucks what other people thought and feared more retribution from some imaginary authority. Clearly a waste of time and energy.) This was following the first episode I tried to do talking about 'Olmstead vs. L.C., which I recorded on my iPhone and then found completely impassable to this podcast in spite of having taught myself to use computers to record and edit audio at the ripe old age of 12 in 1993 and having done it as a passion since then.I finally make a return to that subject today, along with general inequity, discussion of who deserves life, the Nazis, the Beat Poets, the two-parent political system perpetually at war at itself and dysregulated all to hell but failing to obey its own regulations and rules even while it uses them to justify the iron will and chain that kills its dependents, illusions of safety nets as well as 'charity' and 'care' disguising the screaming maw of a void underneath all our tightrope lives, and the value of the voices of the fallen and lost and lonely people -- no matter how grating, irritating, relentless, endless, unmusical, displeasing, unsettling their complaining and begging seems to the refined sensibilities of the discerning and busy working stiff's ear.Everybody's got problems. But if you stuff your ears with cotton wool, eventually the next scream you hear will be your own, and it may be that no one will come to save you either. If we don't hold to each other, don't even touch across the individual 6-foot-radial demilitarized zones erected around each and every one of us for our own protection, who will be socially present to catch you when you fall? Do you think the parental figures you obey like good little citizens care more about you than their grown-up wars and responsibilities, any more than you care about your fellow good little obedient citizens with broken bodies and minds living and dying on the streets? You think you won't be abandoned like those you help the family/nation scapegoat and shun? You think this nation is one Big Happy Family under some all-father white cis male god who ultimately cares especially about you & every other sparrow's fall? Faith, like imagination, says this isn't all there is, but imagination is dangerous when it stops us working and fighting to change what actually is.Even though it's abundantly clear that a pandemic can abrogate rights and destroy lives faster than a war, the 'official' doomsday clock remains set (by authorities who have Purelled their hands of responsibility over and over again like Lady Macbeth) at 100 seconds to midnight. I say it's a matter of perspective. Some people's worlds are much closer to the thresher and are 'acceptable losses' to those cold enough to use personal stress and government mandates and our shared disaster to deny their own power and responsibility to fellow humans. Only the secure and privileged can possibly be still buying into the idea that this will turn out all right in the end, and if it's not all right then it's not the end. The sacrifice of the soul and heart of all human feelings to an uncaring fear-god, in the hopes the great big germ like a slimy worm under the bed will go away. We fear tomorrow, and fear rules us. Not elected officials, not authorities, not the media, not our scientists or sound judgment or rationality or sanity. Welcome to the new age; I'm radioactive. …Ha. Radio. Active. :)

Kaleena and Brian delve into the world of the Beatles around the mid 1960s and the events surrounding the trip to India that George Harrison and his wife Patti Boyd took in 1966. We look at the travel trends that led to Harrison’s fateful trip and the subsequent travels of the entire Beatles gang to India following George’s trip, and  examine the travel trend that emerged in the post-WWII, post-colonial world of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s and ushered in a novel form of travel as a way to explore and discover meaning in life, as popularized by the Beat Poets and (especially) the Beatles, as well as new ideas around crowdsourcing travel knowledge.

Frank Skinner celebrates the Beat Poets – a generation of poets in the 1940s and 50s who rebelled against American conventions, championed ‘spontaneous writing’, and won over Frank in a school assembly. Poems referenced include: Lawrence Ferlinghetti - Sometime During Eternity Gregory Corso - Man About to Enter Sea Allen Ginsberg - Sunflower Sutra William Wordsworth - I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud Lawrence Ferlinghetti – He Plus Frank argues that Jack Kerouac’s On the Road is a poem too.

"The Best Thing To Do In High School? Start A Band, Man" That's what Phil Radiotes did. The Bay Area born musician grabbed his friends and they spent their high school years playing in a band. But here's the thing: that band still exists. Although almost 20 years have passed and the band have relocated to Brooklyn, Phil and the Osophers have almost 15 albums under their belts and their spry indie pop has never sounded better. In this chat Radiotes talks to Alex about leaving the Bay Area, how he regards his acting career and his love of The Grateful Dead. They also talk about artistic inspiration, the approach of the Beat Poets and the percussive sounds of a typewriter.

This is a fascinating conversation with Dennis McNally, who tells the inside story of the Grateful Dead as revealed to him during a dozen years on the road with the band, by the members themselves, and from a mountain of research.  Ben Ratliff writes in the New York Times, that Dennis "had more access to his subjects and their trails of paper, recording tape and roach clips than almost all previous rock biographers." With cameos from the Hell's Angels, the CIA, the Beat Poets, the Grateful Dead's adventures encapsulates the story of counter-culture America itself... and depending on your perspective, serves as a cautionary tale.   Dennis is also the author of Desolate Angel: Jack Kerouac, The Beat Generation & Americaand Highway 61: Music, Race and the Evolution of Cultural Freedom.     

Amanda Feilding is flying the flag for the medical benefits of recreational drugs like cannabis and LSD with her pioneering work at The Beckley Foundation. Based out of the 75-year-old's tumbling country pile in Oxfordshire – which is ringed by a moat and has an island encircled with temple-like pillars – the foundation funds leading research into the medical benefits of psychedelics and mind-altering substances.   Amanda is also a countess whose lineage traces back to Charles II of England. In the 1960s, after travelling around Sri Lanka on her own, she discovered acid and hung out with the beat poets of the era, never without her beloved pet pigeon Birdie by her side. She met the Dutch scientist Bart Hughes, who introduced her to the shamanic practice of trepanation – essentially drilling a hole in one's head, which she performed on herself in 1970.   Needless to say, a conversation with Amanda Feilding, with the wind blowing through the trees, is quite a trip in itself… ​ Presenter: Kate Hutchinson Producer: Lucy Dearlove Photos: Laura Kelly www.thelastbohemians.co.uk @thelastbohemianspod Music: Blue Dot Sessions - Disinter Blue Dot Sessions - Solemn Application Blue Dot Sessions - Slow Casino Blue Dot Sessions - Thread Magenta

Timothy Leary erfand in den sechziger Jahren die Weltverbesserung durch Drogenkonsum.

In honor of poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti's 99th birthday we celebrate with River’s of Memory, produced by Jim McKee of Earwax Productions. Over the last 20 years, Jim McKee has been chronicling Lawrence and Lawrence’s good friend radio dramatist Erik Bauersfeld (voice of Star Wars' Admiral Ackbar). Set to a rich soundscape that travels throughout San Francisco, the piece features poetry, interviews, and overheard conversations about Ferlinghetti’s life, work, the San Francisco beat culture, Ferlinghetti’s fight for First Amendment rights and more. Lawrence Ferlinghetti, opened City Lights bookstore in 1953, one of the first paperback bookstores. He also began publishing the Pocket Poet Series featuring poems by Beat Poets of the 1950s and 60s. In 1956 he published “Howl and Other Poems,” by Allen Ginsberg and was brought to trial on obscenity charges. The landmark first amendment case paved the way for the publication of other “banned books.”

Journalist, Guardian writer, columnist extraordinaire, and author of a book I am quite enjoying right now, The Antidote: Happiness for People who Can’t Stand Positive Thinking, probably one of the greatest titles for a self-help book, ever. Thank you for joining us. Oliver Burkeman: It’s my pleasure. Thanks for asking. The Author s Lifetime Love of Journalism Kelton Reid: So, as I noted earlier, you’re probably sick of talking about The Antidote. It has been out for several years now, but it does seem somewhat timely now, for some reason. When I found it, by another great article you wrote for The Guardian, my wife saw the title, it was sitting on the kitchen table. She was like, “Yes!” I was like, “I know. It’s perfect. It’s perfect for right now.” So, anyway. I’d love to talk to you some about that, some about what you’re up to more recently. You write about social psychology, self-help culture, productivity, and the science of happiness, all these great things. Yeah, I’d just love to just kind of get into your process. So, maybe for listeners who aren’t familiar with you or your journey as a writer, you could get us up to speed a little bit on how you got here? Oliver Burkeman: Sure. Yes, I always feel like my story, my personal story rather, is incredibly boring, because I have like …. I’ve been on like one-track mind with regard to this since I was about like, eight, or something. And my parents will embarrass me, if requested, by getting out copies of a little sort of photocopied newsletter I tried to make my, like grade school, whatever the right … it’s not elementary school … primary school in the UK … that people read. And I was sort of doing all that school newspaper stuff, and then student journalism in university, and then as soon as I could, I started hanging around the offices of newspapers doing casual copy editing shifts here and there until I, I don’t know, I guess it was something to get me a job then to get security to escort me from the building. So anyway, I just like, I wanted to be able to say … First of all, I went out and got a ton of life experience, and then I decided it was time to write about it. But actually, I had apparently known from a very, very young age that writing, and sort of journalism specifically, because I still think of the book that I’m working on now as journalism. Some people take that as almost a derogatory term compared to, I don’t know, nonfiction writing or something. Anyway, I sort of wanted to do it all along. Now in that time, I’ve done a lot of very cool things. I have done news reporting, I’ve been reporting from the UK, the US, written about politics, written about … interviewed a bunch of celebrities for movie pages or whatever. So, I have done a bunch of different things in that time. But, looked at from one level higher up, one vantage point higher up, it is just writing stuff since I was old enough to have any thoughts about what I wanted to do. Kelton Reid: Wow, wow. So, that’s cool. So, your life experience has been your … kind of, the journey is the destination for writing. So there wasn’t like a lightning bolt. It was always kind of a part of your life, huh? Oliver Burkeman: Yeah, I thinking one of the things that did sort of happen that was interesting from my perspective, I don’t know about anyone else, was that specifically, coming to write about psychology, psychotherapy, work, productivity, all this kind of area of stuff. That was very much a kind of … that was a sort of fairly sudden realization that I was already obsessed with all this stuff in my personal life and in my work life. And then, actually, it was really good stuff to write about. So, I was sort of geeking out on productivity systems and sort of furtively reading self-help books long before I realized that actually it was a good, interesting, journalistic subject matter, as well. And I hope that the result, in the case of The Antidote, is somewhere between self-help book and a reported work of journalism. And I kind of like going back and forth over that one. How His Own Challenges with Time Management Led to His Latest Book Project Kelton Reid: Yeah, yeah. Well, The Antidote, dubbed as an anti-self-help self-help book, has had some great critical acclaim. It’s described as, kind of that blurb, Success through failure, calm through embracing anxiety, a total original approach to self-help. And, I’m really glad I found it. The time management piece you wrote, Why Time Management is Ruining Our Lives, is actually how I found you. And that was a fantastic piece, also. So as you mentioned, you cover a lot of different bases there with your journalism. But that was a great piece. You were talking about how time is kind of slipping out of our control, and the thousands of productivity apps that we’re faced with every day, and techniques designed to enhance our personal productivity seem to exacerbate those anxieties, which is something that you cover quite extensively as to the reasons behind that. So, that’s cool that the book, it seems, was kind of a culmination of a lot of the things that you write about in your column for The Guardian there, This Column Will Change Your Life. And then, it’s also, as you noted, it’s got great storytelling, fantastic examples from great philosophers, psychologists, a lot of good writerly quotes in there, too, thank you very much. You’ve got like, Edith Wharton and Shakespeare, and you get into pieces on how the Beat Poets kind of all got into meditation, and so on and so forth. So, I am very much enjoying the book, The Antidote. So what are you working on now? There’s lots of places to find your work out there. I’ll link to the column and your website. What’ve you got in the hopper? Oliver Burkeman: Well, I’m continuing to write the column for The Guardian. I’m working on a few long pieces for them. But I guess the biggest thing is I am working on another book, which kind of picks up on some of those themes in the time management piece, because it is about, more generally, time, and how to use time, and our experience of time. And basically trying to look at this question of time management, which tends to be treated in a very sort of superficial way, in my opinion, through a kind of philosophical lens, if that doesn’t sound too grandiose, based on the fact that human life is very short. The average human lifespan is something like 4,000 weeks. So it’s a terrifying thing whenever I think about it. Really, time-management is the ultimate problem in philosophy, right? Because it s like, How do you make the most of this incredibly short period of time? So, you know, it’s kind of a large subject. But, I’m trying to look at that in this book through psychology, different ways in which we experience time, what affects our experience of time, what makes time feel like it’s speeding up as we get older And also, some of the particular challenges that everyone seems to be dealing with a lot these days, which are very much time-related challenges, like distraction and short attention spans, and all this stuff. As ever, I think it’s a really important point to make in anything I’m writing where I’m telling people, giving people advice, this is all just the stuff that I’m agonizing about and grappling with. This is never because I’ve solved all the problems and my life is perfect and now I’m going to tell you how to have a perfect life. It’s always more kind of therapy, and sort of trying to work it through in the form of a book in the hopes that it maybe helps some other people along the way. So that’s the main thing. The main thing is the book. Why Constraints Can Improve Your Productivity Kelton Reid: Yeah. I mean, I’d love to just kind of pick your brain about productivity, and how you fit all the pieces together. You obviously have a weekly column. You do other things on the side, and then you’re working on this new book. How much time are you spending reading, doing research, before you get started? Oliver Burkeman: Wow, I sort of … I so love talking about this topic. It’s almost troubling, because I think it is partly talking about your process is a great way to not get on with your writing process. But anyway, I think that and the other thing to say is that we have a three month old baby at the moment. So, everything I’ve learned about productivity and work processes has kind of been ripped up into small shreds and thrown up in the air, and it’s all kind of resettling a little bit at the moment. I think that’s actually been really useful, from the point of view of my writing. I’m glad to have that kind of earthquake strike the process because you get of all sorts of ruts. And the other thing, of course, is that when you don’t have very much time, because you’re trying to be an active parent as well, turns out to be quite good, actually. If you only have three or four hours in a day to dedicate to your writing, you get a move on. If you have fifteen hours, you risk spending it all on Twitter. I still spend plenty of time on Twitter, but less than I did. I’ve always been someone who very much mixes up the research, reporting, reading, planning, and writing. So it’s really hard for me to put figures on it and say, “Well, if I’m writing a book, first of all, I would spend this many months doing research, and then I’ll move to the writing phase.” There’s as little bit of that. Obviously, towards the end, it’s more writing, and towards the beginning, it’s more research. But, I’ve always sort of jumbled it up. Divided it up into chapters or chunks, and tried to research and write one of them, just to have something, and then you keep the other tracks going simultaneously. I think that’s probably a very, sort of, someone trained in newspapers, like I was. I think that’s probably a very typical thing, as opposed to being, I don’t know, an academic who moved into this kind of writing. It’s all kind of jumbled. And I have quite thought-through ways of keeping the material organized, like, physically, and then Evernote, and Word, and everything, but when it comes actually to how I’m using the time, all those stages are pretty much jumbled up with each other. And I think that’s, partly, I’m unable to do anything more organized, but it’s also because I think it’s also helpful. I think you sort of … One of the things I always get from planning and actually writing long pieces or chapters is then you suddenly see the piece that you’re missing, and the person you’ve got to go and talk to, or the bit of your argument that doesn’t make sense yet. So, you’ve got to go away and walk around the park with a pencil in your mouth for a couple of hours to try to figure out how to make it make sense. And you don’t find that if you don’t get going. If you’re just sort of vacuuming up information waiting for the day when you’re going to start writing. Time-Tested Advice for Getting Words Onto the Page Kelton Reid: Yeah, yeah. Well, it seems like there’s a teaching piece to kind of do what you do, too. It’s almost as if you are like you re in academics with the amount of research that you put into stuff. So, I’m sure that your brain kind of needs those restful periods where you’re doing productive procrastination and focusing on other … or just taking a walk to let your brain kind of incubate some of these bigger ideas, because there’s a lot of big ideas in your writing. So, I mean, it sounds like you sit down every day. Do you find that you’re more productive in the morning or the evening, or again, is it just kind of whenever the inspiration strikes? Oliver Burkeman: No, in the level of the day, I am fairly rhythmic. As I say, thrown up in the air a bit recently. But basically, I am a morning writer, and I sort of try to re-fence really only maybe four hours, occasionally, and maybe five consecutive hours. Usually … it used to be like 7:30 am to half-past mid-day. Now, thanks to my son, it’s more like going to be nine am to one or one thirty or something. But that’s sort of before anything else. On a good day, this does not always work, and anyone listening will probably be able to go on Twitter and find evidence of it not working, but on a good day, I would not check email or Twitter or anything else before those hours are done. I even … I’ve got a MacBook, and I had an old one that I thought was broken, and I replaced it. Then, I realized that I could get that one fixed for a small sum. So, now I’ve got a machine that I try to do the writing on for the book, and it is … it does have the Internet, but it basically has nothing. I deliberately removed the possibility of almost any form of distraction. I can find the browser, because sometimes you need to go back and look at your research or whatever, but that’s a kind of trick that has worked well for me on the book. With more sort of day-to-day journalism I need to be more connected than that, so I don’t try to hide myself away so much in those hours. But, the only thing that has ever really worked for me is the time honored advice to do the most important thing first, and then, if the rest of the day sort of collapses into a mess, at least you’ve done the thing that you really needed to do. Writer s Block as a Fallacy in Explanation Kelton Reid: Right. That’s a good one. Well, both the using a dedicated machine for the bigger writing piece, and then swallowing your frog kind of first thing of the day is … those are good time and tested tricks. All right, so I really want to pick your brain about the writer’s block question. I’ve spoken with … and I know you kind of rub elbows with neuroscience and psychology, and I’ve actually had a neuroscientist on the show to talk to me about some of the causes of writer’s block, or even whether or not it’s a thing. So, do you have some thoughts on the subject? Oliver Burkeman: Yeah, I don’t have much in the way of sort of a scientific explanation, as far as anything I’ve worked on recently in that sense, but I’ve sort of experienced my fair share of it. I really like … there’s a guy called Paul Sylvia who wrote a book called How to Write a Lot, which is aimed at academic psychologists, but it’s actually really useful information for anybody writing, I think. He makes this great point that writer’s block is kind of an example of a certain kind of fallacy in explanation, because you’re using the description of what happens, which is that you’re not getting any writing done, as an explanation. It’s like, “Well, I’m not doing any writing. I must have writer’s block.” It’s just another way of saying “I’m not doing any writing. I must not be doing any writing.” It’s sort of a description of the behavior masquerading as an explanation for that behavior. I don’t know that some distinct thing called writer’s block, in any meaningful sense, exists. I think that procrastination and inactivity and not doing the things you wanted to do definitely exist, and probably we sort of romanticize it a bit more with writing than we do with other things. And, the romanticization helps create the problem, because it becomes this very sort of … this idea that there’s this very grand issue that you’ve got. I’m not the first person to say, but you don’t get “washing machine repairman block” or “plumber block” or “barista block.” When you have to do the job, and we don’t glamorize it in the culture as an amazingly romantic job, you find a way to get on with it even when you might not feel like doing it.

The show opens in New York City at the end of World War 2. We discuss social, technological, and economic forces that converge in the early postwar years: the Baby Boom generation and its impact, the rise of the American middle class, technological advances in radio and recording. In the early Fifties, “Race Records” (Rhythm & Blues records by African American musicians) start becoming popular with white American Teens. We assert this is in large part a response to the bland, conformist zeitgeist of popular culture. We meet an early adopter and champion of R&B music: the DJ and radio personality Alan Freed, who popularized the term “Rock n Roll.” We briefly discuss two other cultural phenomena that will become important later: Skiffle in the United Kingdom and the Beat Poets in urban America. We also meet two Rock n Roll pioneers: Ray Charles and Bill Haley. Two key social and political issues are examined in detail: racial segregation and anticommunist hysteria. In 1954, the Supreme Court publishes the Brown v Board of Education decision, and Senator Joseph McCarthy is humiliated and discredited. These shifting political realities drive—and are driven by—momentous changes in the popular culture: the lid comes off; freedom of expression takes a big step forward. Finally, we briefly meet the first Rock n Roll superstar, Elvis Presley, and set up Episode Two.

The Beat Poets established a counter-culture in the 1950’s of freely using drugs to achieve higher-consciousness and challenged social conformity in the SF Bay Area. The reputation of these artists remain influential to the area - you can see it in how people dress themselves here and smell the counter-culture in plomes of marijuana smoke when walking down the street any time of the day. These are some of the reasons why many of the transplants were attracted to and now call The Bay home. I’m Akeisha Johnson, a life coach and your host. I will talk with Bay Area, filmmaker, and tv producer David Scott MacDougall to find out about how he is Making It Work!
