We're dropped right into Adaptations Month, and Meaghan and Shirin are fired up about one of the most talked-about YA adaptations in recent memory: We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, now an eight-episode Amazon Prime series.Right away, we're treated to some healthy debate. Shirin adores the book; she champions the writing, the twist, and the mood. Meaghan? Not so much. She found the prose pretentious and didn't enjoy the tone at all. This dynamic sets the stage for a lively and honest conversation that's far from sugar-coated.The book, first published in 2014, holds a kind of pop-culture cult status. It's a staple on “must-read” YA lists and has been adored (and criticized) for its dark twist and dreamy narration.The show adaptation dropped in June and currently holds a 6.6/10 on IMDb and a 63% on Rotten Tomatoes, with both audience and critics matching scores, which the hosts point out as surprisingly rare. There's clear curiosity about how the adaptation stands up to the book and how viewers have received it.Breaking Down the Sinclair Family DramaThe story follows the Sinclair family, a wealthy old-money clan who summers on a private island called Beechwood off Martha's Vineyard. The family patriarch, Harris Sinclair, and his wife Tipper (yes, those are the names) built individual homes on the island for each of their daughters: Carrie, Penny, and Bess. Penny is Cadence's (Katie's) mom, our main character and narrator. Each woman has children, and their interactions form the backbone of the story.Every summer, the family returns to the island, and the teenage cousins, along with Ed's nephew Gat, form a group known as “the Liars.” We watch this group grow, fracture, and unravel across two pivotal summers: Summer Sixteen and Summer Seventeen.Cadence experiences a mysterious accident in Summer Sixteen, one that leads to memory loss, trauma, and isolation. She's told she needs to recover the memories on her own, but no one in her family will talk about what really happened. That's the tension. That's the story.We quickly learn that the family is deeply dysfunctional. The three sisters are competitive, toxic, and frequently cruel to each other and their children. There are fractures built on favoritism, inheritance squabbles, and the oppressive rule of Harris, who exerts power through manipulation.Meaghan and Shirin are quick to point out how relatable and painful these dynamics are, even if they're dramatized through the extreme wealth and privilege of the Sinclair family.The Adaptation: What Worked, What Didn'tThe hosts appreciated the show's ability to visually distinguish timelines, for instance, Katie dyes her hair brown in Summer Seventeen, which makes the back-and-forth between past and present much easier to track. That little visual clue, while simple, goes a long way in helping the viewer follow the complex timeline.They also agree that the show did a good job capturing Katie's slow, painful unraveling. As she pieces together the truth about what happened during Summer Sixteen, viewers are taken through fragmented flashbacks, clues, and unspoken cues from the people around her. There's a slow burn, but one that keeps you guessing.However, the hosts were split on the show's tone. Meaghan couldn't stand how much of the book's prose, which she already disliked, made it into the show. Shirin felt the adaptation captured the dreamy, metaphor-rich storytelling of the original text. They were both impressed, though, with how well the show built out the adult characters, something the book couldn't do because it was told strictly from Katie's point of view.Where the show shone was in its character development. The three sisters were given more emotional weight, especially Bess, played by Candice King (Caroline from The Vampire Diaries).Penny and Bess are both awful mothers, but Bess in particular has a redemptive arc that adds depth to her character, even if Shereen refuses to fully forgive her. Carrie, portrayed by Mamie Gummer (Meryl Streep's daughter), is also given a solid backstory, including a history of addiction and the immense grief of losing her son.One of the biggest revelations is that Katie's conversations with the other Liars in Summer Seventeen are hallucinations. Johnny, Mirren, and Gat, her beloved cousins and love interest, all died in the fire they set together the previous summer. Katie is the only survivor. The moment she remembers the family dogs perishing too hits particularly hard, both for the hosts and the viewers.The adaptation handled this twist masterfully. Even though readers of the book already know what's coming, the visual storytelling keeps it compelling. The Liars appear fully present, interact naturally, and are only revealed to be figments of Katie's traumatized mind much later. The show plants subtle clues, like a little cousin asking Katie for a ghost story, and her replying that Marin should tell it, a chilling line, considering Marin is dead.Characters We Love (And Love To Hate)While the central romance between Katie and Gat didn't work for either host, they found the actors had little chemistry, and Gat felt underwritten, they adored several supporting characters. Eben, a young Black man on the island, was a standout for both hosts. His observations about race and privilege injected authenticity and groundedness into the otherwise opulent storyline.Ed, Carrie's longtime partner and Gat's uncle, also stood out. Raoul Cooley brought depth and warmth to the character, especially given how he was mistreated by Harris and sidelined by the family. Harris himself, played by David Morse, is despicable but fascinating. His subtle manipulation, racism, and emotional abuse are layered in such a way that his true awfulness creeps up on you, much like it does for the family.Shirin and Meaghan appreciated how the show didn't shy away from showing the Sinclairs as morally bankrupt, even when dressed in pastels and smiling for family photos. There's a constant undercurrent of performative unity, especially in the final scenes when they pose for media photos to “look good,” even as their relationships are broken beyond repair.Wrapping It Up: Why The Show Might Be Better Than The BookIn the end, both hosts came to a surprising agreement: the show might actually be better than the book. It doesn't happen often, but the added character development, the expansion of side plots, and the emotionally raw performances made the TV series more compelling overall.What really pushed it over the edge for Shirin was how the show focused on generational trauma, expectations placed on women, and the psychological consequences of wealth and privilege.Watching the three sisters grapple with their roles as mothers, daughters, and wives was more engaging than any teenage romance. The drama of their relationships, the fighting, the denial, the toxic parenting, was, as they said, “way more interesting than the will-they-won't-they between Katie and Gat.”They also discussed the series' ending, which toys with the idea of ghosts and heaven a bit too much for their liking, but concluded that the show's strength lies in its emotional realism, not supernatural mystery.The final verdict? Even if you didn't love the book, the show's worth a watch. It's messy, emotionally complicated, and full of characters you'll both hate and sympathize with, sometimes at the same time.

During her interview at The Bull Joy admits her catering industry experience is limited, while Kenton's attention is elsewhere. Joy clearly has the passion, and Fallon is supportive. But when Kenton leaves abruptly, followed by concerned Fallon, Joy is left with Tracy, who fills her in on Kenton's troubled weekend after the ID parade. Joy then comes to the rescue as the pub is inundated with roadworkers wanting sandwiches and Tracy can't cope on her own. Meanwhile, outside in the car park, Kenton confesses to being haunted by the dog that attacked him. Fallon's sympathetic, suggesting he take some time out, but Kenton can't - they're far too busy. Fallon then helps Joy complete the order for the roadworkers and is very impressed by the way Joy coped and stuck to their house style: classy but not fussy. Joy recommends Usha to Kenton for helpful advice on legal matters, before Fallon offers Joy the job, with Kenton's backing.At school dinner time Clarrie tells Henry she's getting much less grief from the kids now she's being more assertive.

Elizabeth tells David at Brookfield about a nightmare in which she was desperately trying to stop David wreaking bloody vengeance with a broken bottle while trapped on a cruise ship. David admits he's had nightmares about the abattoir protest too, wondering if he should have done more. They discuss Lower Loxley's plans for VE Day and Ruth's attempts to contact Reginald Dodge, wartime hero. Talk turns to Jill's memories of the war, David suspecting Phil had a crush on Wanda, the Brookfield Land Girl. They also discuss the slideshow Pat's putting together with Peggy. Later, David surprises Elizabeth with news that they've tracked down ‘Dodgy' (Reginald) through his granddaughter, who's emailed Ruth a potted life history. David suggests printing it out and putting it on display at Lower Loxley.At the Magistrate's Court, Rochelle's grateful to be given bail – and she won't be tagged, as long as she sticks to her bail conditions. Mick and Joy are grateful to Usha too, before Joy hands over a bag of clothes and other essentials. Apologetic Rochelle gives Joy a heartfelt hug, then leaves with Mick for the bail address he's arranged with a friend. On the way, Rochelle is relieved to hear Joy isn't angry with her and tells Mick she loves Joy, despite everything. Back at Beechwood, Joy confesses she blames herself for damaging Rochelle. Usha admires Rochelle's passion and determination, and thinks she never really intended to harm anyone. Usha then encourages Joy to stay and help with VE Day, despite the temptation to run away. Joy agrees, because running away never works.
The police turn up at Beechwood looking for Rochelle or anything that could help locate her. While officers search the house Joy tells DC Tanners that Rochelle has been staying with Rex, then left a message about going away. Joy had no idea what Rochelle was planning though. DC Tanners then explains about taking away all their internet enabled devices, including mobile phones. After the police have gone Mick helps Joy tidy up. Joy still believes Rochelle's a good person with strong beliefs, but she's never been good at knowing when to stop. Later, Rochelle rings Joy on the landline. She's handed herself in to the police but doesn't want a solicitor. Nevertheless Joy tells Mick she's calling Usha.At the cricket, against Roserran-in-the-Vale, Lawrence quizzes reluctant Lynda and Freddie about what's been going on with Rochelle, then makes a cutting remark about supermarket sandwiches. After he's gone Lynda commends Freddie for his bravery, both on Thursday at the abattoir and following the explosion at Grey Gables. Freddie admits he's not sleeping well, constantly thinking how things could have gone worse. Vince has given Freddie a list of things to work through, to take his mind off it. To Lynda they are both heroes, setting a fine example for the team to follow. The match itself is hotly contested with Ambridge just managing their first victory of the season, thanks to Rex. Lawrence is gracious in defeat, but Lynda isn't convinced by his sentiments, a feeling that is confirmed by Lawrence's patronising comments about Ambridge's tea offering.

Natasha tells Pat about putting in a reduced offer for Kirsty's house on Beechwood, because of the risk that the sewage problem might happen again. Pat wonders, if they're so worried about a recurrence then why risk it at all? Natasha insists they're going ahead with the offer, before asking if things are okay between Pat and Tony? Pat insists they are, then mentions her upcoming radio interview. At The Tearoom later though, disappointed Pat tells Emma that Radio Borsetshire cancelled her interview. Pat's determined to get the message out somehow, about the damaging effect the spillage is having on people's livelihoods. At the very least they need to call out Borsetshire Water publicly and force them to respond. Kirsty tells Joy about the pressure she feels under to accept pushy Tom and Natasha's reduced offer. Joy encourages Kirsty to make them wait for an answer, especially as they'll be getting brand new flooring and units. Later, Natasha tries guilt-tripping gobsmacked Kirsty into accepting the offer. Kirsty gives as good as she gets, but Natasha's not budging. If Kirsty won't accept the new offer then they'll look for another house instead.At The Dower House Joy confronts Lilian with the evidence of the broken robot vacuum cleaner, making it clear that she and Brian are going to have to pay for a replacement.

Zainab accepts a coffee as compensation before Natasha mentions they need to close up, but tells Zainab to wait inside until they're done. Brad then wraps his scarf around Zainab's shoulders to keep her warm, while Chelsea tells Natasha to go and pick up the twins, she'll finish off and lock up. Later, after they've finished, Chelsea thanks Brad and Zainab for helping. Zainab offers Brad his scarf back, but he tells her to keep it before going.

Later, over a glass of wine, Adam suggests Helen could buy Kirsty's Beechwood house if she really wants to help her, an idea Helen warms to while looking over the decorations Adam's bought. One thing though, Helen checks that Ian told Adam it's called ‘Spooky Day' – and more specifically it's a ‘Spooky Disco'? Adam is horrified when Helen outlines the problem some parents and schools have with the word Halloween – it is all over the bunting Adam bought.

Then Pat talks to Clarrie about the possibility of keeping goats for meat, in connection with a school project Henry's doing, before moving onto Apple Day.

Laughter! That's the focus of today's meander, as we explore the third last chapter in Martha Beck's book, “The Joy Diet: 10 daily practices for a happier life.” We visit a laughter yoga class from 2023 on Australia's sunshine coast and hear from two laughter yoga teachers about the benefits of such a thing. There's good science behind it too, that Beck explores in the book. I hope you'll have a read of that, and explore her invitation to increase your quotient of laughs per day.Feel free to share your thoughts with me at meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com.

Creativity is this week's focus in chapter 4 of “The Joy Diet.” I found this chapter really helpful and I encourage you to grab a pen and a piece of paper so you too can work through the exercises she offers. She doesn't as much talk about creativity as much as invite you into a few practices that help you explore yours, in relation to the desire you may have articulated in the previous chapter. In today's episode, I show my work and talk about what I learned about taking steps to make my desire a reality. I hope you'll enjoy this episode.

As winter turns to spring, we're going to move chapter by chapter through a book by longtime life coach, Martha Beck. We're always told to live our best lives, but what does that really mean? In this book, coach Beck introduces us to the 10 daily practices that she believes will help us live more joy-filled lives. We're on chapter three, which dives into finding your heart's desire.Today, I meander with you from the hot tub, the site of my daily meditation practice. Truth be told, I've been struggling with this week's practice on Desire. I had a whole script written, but instead, by instinct, I set it aside and just spoke from my heart. You'll hear the hiss from the hot tub's filtre for a while, then the sound of the wind brushing the mic and the birds tweeting in the background. It's all real, I promise you! After that, I share with you what I have learned about stillness and how it has applied in my life. I keep coming back to this first practice as it is just that pivotal. Then we turn to the book and the topic of desire and how I have worked with that practice. I'm hoping you are reading along and so will learn also from Martha Beck herself as I stray a bit away from her work in this meander, and into my experience with it. I hope you'll enjoy this episode. Please, share my work widely, and give the podcast a review to tease the algorithms. If you have comments or questions, please send them to: meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com.

As Angie is taking a pause from the PauseCast, due to her move to Phoenix and her new job, I am taking a little time to do a book review with everyone. We're going to move chapter by chapter through a book by longtime life coach, Martha Beck. We're always told to live our best lives, but what does that really mean? In this book, coach Beck introduces us to the 10 daily practices that she believes will help us live more joy-filled lives. Today, we're looking at chapter 2, called “Truth.” The practice in this case is all about getting quiet enough in our body and mind to hear what is true for us in this very moment. Beck walks us through just how we can do that. I also weave in a bit of my favourite Indigenous author, Richard Wagamese with a few excepts from his book “Embers: One Ojibway's Meditations.” If you are interested in reading along, you can buy her book from your local independent bookstore and join me each week to explore her offering.I hope you'll enjoy this episode.

I am Director of Brewing Operations at Sonder Brewing outside of Cincinnati, OH. I am a former high school and university educator, and I have been making beer for a living for over a decade. My goal here is to give a behind-the-scenes look into the craft brewing industry, and to share any knowledge I have. I am not the perfect brewer, but I am always pushing myself to get better and to learn more. Our goal in the brewhouse is to always aim for the bullseye, knowing we will never hit it. That mantra keeps us focused on continual growth, and helps us appreciate the journey of improving as brewers.

There are plenty of players who have stepped up for Beechwood (14-1 in 2022) as the Tigers enter this season as the reigning three-time Class 2A state champions. The Tigers have a new head coach in Jay Volker, but the expectations of playing for state title haven't changed for Beechwood, which opens the season at McNicholas Aug. 18. Volker along with senior offensive lineman/defensive lineman Nick Alexander and senior wide receiver/defensive back Talon Linder joined the podcast. "It's been amazing," Volker said of his first season. "The team is coming together." With the graduation of 22 seniors from last season's team, Alexander and Lindner have emerged as leaders. "These two guys have stepped up since day one," Volker said. "They've always been great in their actions but they've stepped up very big in being vocal leaders and holding others accountable."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Marcin & Artur visit Anchor Brewing in San Francisco. Since there is no new Brew Ha Ha show today, for this podcast episode we offer again this fun and revealing episode recorded last January 19, with Herlinda Heras' two guests from Maryensztadt Brewery in Poland, Marcin and Artur. Enjoy! Marcin Malecki and Artur Napuripski of Maryensztadt Brewery in Poland are our guests today on Brew Ha Ha with Harry Duke and Herlinda Heras. Artur is the sales manager as well as a beer sommelier and brewery historian, and Marcin is the brewery's owner. Herlinda Heras has been a beer judge at the Polish national beer competition for the last few years, along with Artur. Herlinda invited them to California for a visit and for a collaboration at Anchor Brewing and a visit to some famous Sonoma County craft breweries. Marcin tells about their visit to Brew Ha Ha sponsor Russian River Brewing Co. and how impressed he was with their Windsor location. They also visited Brian Hunt at Moonlight Brewing. Grodzisz is a smoked wheat beer, which is a unique Polish style. It uses 100% oak-smoked malt. Herlinda finds it refreshing. Artur describes it as a unique style and says the malt is hard to find. Polish brewers stopped making it in 1993 but they revived it recently. Beechwood smoke has a different flavor, like ham or cheese. This oak smoke is more like a campfire and is more subtle. Visit our sponsor Victory House at Poppy Bank Epicenter online, for their latest viewing and menu options. Craft Brewing in Poland The craft brewing industry is young in Poland. They began about ten years ago with an American IPA. The brewery's name Maryensztadt is a small neighborhood in the heart of Warsaw, part of the old town. They wanted the brewery to be there, but they could not produce alcohol there. So they established the brewery in a small town very close to Warsaw. They try to make the brewery as “green” as possible, or sustainable, using as little energy and water as possible and recycling water. When they visited Russian River Brewing Co., they thought they would like to be that big in ten more years. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Click the logo to visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more info.

Marcin, Herlinda & Artur. Marcin has always been interested in beer and was a consultant brewer before opening the brewery. Artur has been interested in beer since long before the craft beer revolution. He eventually became a beer judge and got a beer and cider judging certificate. He is studying for his mead certification too. Poland has a long tradition of making mead, and even the certifying body, JCP, does not know all about it. Poland is also a huge producer of apples, but not cider apples. There is a small but promising cider revolution going on, but the problem is getting the right apples. There is also a thriving hops production in Poland. Herlinda told Mark Carpenter, former Brew Ha Ha co-host, about Polish beer so he went there on a vacation and met Artur. Anchor Beer was the first good American beer to be available in Poland after the fall of Communism, and many people still remember its arrival and importance at the time. As Marcin says, "...your craft revolution is really great!"
While walking the field Ben and David see a man approaching. It's Rylan! He explains his Satnav has stopped working. Ben offers to give Rylan directions to Ambridge Hall over a cup of tea. Rylan is soon settled in at Brookfield, while Ben explains about the original booking mix-up with Lynda. Rylan's keen to see their Sound of Music act at the village Eurovision Show. When Mick arrives he's relieved that Rylan remembers him from a corporate event they did together. Then Lynda turns up, her suspicions roused by Ben's delaying tactics. A squabble ensues over hosting Rylan, who's mortified to discover Lynda turfed out another guest on his behalf. He's equally unhappy with Ben's sniping and asks Mick if he can stay with him instead. Mick offers a room at Joy's house on Beechwood and they set off together, leaving Ben and Lynda deflated. Kirsty visits Bridge Farm Shop, where Helen details plans for the Rogation Sunday service at Bridge Farm next week. Kirsty would love it at the rewilding site next year. She's keen to revive cultural heritage as well as biodiversity and wildlife. David arrives, pointing out an article in the Echo about the Coronation Illumination. It makes it look like he works at Bridge Farm. He wants a correction published and hopes he can persuade them to write about Brookfield. Helen mentions that Adam's half-sister Erin is visiting next week. When the others have gone Helen is disturbed by a phone call. The call ends, and she fears the worst.
There's panic at Beechwood, and Lynda digs herself a hole.
Jim interrupts Harrison's breakfast to ask how his name got on the list for the Eurovision show. Harrison works out that the J. Lloyd on the list is in fact Julian Lloyd-Jones, who recently moved on to Beechwood. Jim's horrified that Julian is representing Greece after confusing Roman and Greek gods at a pub quiz. Jim determines to seek Julian out – he can't have inaccuracies being spread on his specialist subject. Later, Jim reports that his approach didn't go down well – Julian has now pulled out of the show. Harrison asks Jim to fill the breach and, by default, Jim agrees to do a reading from Homer's Iliad. Justin turns up at Bridge Farm looking for Natasha. He needs to see if it's a practical proposition to have the Coronation light installation there. With Natasha unavailable Tom walks Justin round. Justin's impressed by the Edible Forest Garden. Tom thinks Justin's cutting it fine to have everything up and running by Friday, but Justin reassures Tom before confirming the Coronation Illumination will be at Bridge Farm. Helen's arranged a child-free evening and cooks Lee a curry. She encourages Lee to skip the washing up and retire to the sofa, so they can watch something not involving car chases or cartoon characters. Later they kiss, but Lee pulls away, feeling that Helen is tense. Helen is heartbroken. She thought a romantic atmosphere would help, but it's just not working. Lee reassures her; she doesn't have to do anything she doesn't want to. It will all be okay.
George needs a favour, and disaster strikes at Beechwood.
