Todayyy I share some dubs and L's from my past week! Then I jump into the main topic which is how focusing on the small things will help make those big changes.

I end the episode with a Dear Abbey submission on how to stop rumination when you are stuck in a cycle.Call 909-817-1742 to leave a “Dear Abbey” voicemail or leave a text with a question or asking for advice!!

A federal grand jury has indicted former FBI Director James Comey on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice, a move sought by Trump's newly appointed prosecutor. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Comey repeatedly lied to Congress about leaks and surveillance of Trump's campaign, citing FISA abuses, the Russia probe, and the targeting of Michael Flynn through an illegal wiretap.  Critics including Lindsey Graham contend Comey withheld exculpatory evidence about the Clinton campaign's role in fabricating Russiagate, undermining the rule of law. Jimmy frames the indictment as overdue accountability for Comey, while also warning that political prosecutions reflect deeper corruption in the U.S. justice system. Plus segments on Google's recent admission that the company caved to Biden administration demands to censor COVID related content and the recent embrace by U.S. government figures of former Al Qaeda leader and current Syria president Ahmed al-Sharaa. Also featuring Mike MacRae, John Kiriakou & Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Kamala Supporter!

A former soldier named Hugh phoned in to LBC with a story that says everything about Prince William's approach to leadership. During a freezing, 3AM training exercise on Salisbury Plain, it wasn't an officer barking orders—it was William brewing tea. “NATO milk and two sugars,” the soldier requested. “Yes please boss.” That boss? The future king.From the trenches to the tropics: another old story has resurfaced about William's quieter heroism. In 2008, just days into his Royal Navy stint, the prince played a key role in a £40 million drug bust near Barbados. Alongside a sniper and pilot aboard a Lynx helicopter, William helped intercept a boat smuggling 2,000 pounds of cocaine.Also today: a Big Issue vendor credits a 2022 meeting with Prince William as the turning point that got him off drugs. The vendor, now clean and thriving, is set to speak at Lambeth Palace. Meanwhile, William's Homewards project is already helping hundreds escape homelessness—with 300 new homes in the pipeline.Then there's Catherine Masters, who politely turned down a meeting with Queen Elizabeth II—because she wanted Prince William instead. The 109-year-old even gave him potato-mashing tips during a surprise visit in 2009. No fork, no respect.And finally, while Princess Catherine will one day be queen consort, her parents Carole and Michael Middleton are unlikely to receive any royal titles. Unlike Camilla's family, they may be offered ceremonial roles—but nothing more.Follow our new series Crown and Controversy! Follow now. The full Season 1 is available now for premium subscribers.

After weeks of debate and political rebellion, proposed changes to the health element of Universal Credit have cleared the House of Commons.The government's bill sets out that new claimants from April 2026, who have limited capacity to work and have been approved to receive the health top-up of the benefit, will receive £50 a week, compared to £97 for current claimants who will continue to receive that amount. The Universal Credit Bill is expected to be classed as a money bill, meaning it could become law after one month, with or without the approval of the House of Lords.Emma Tracey gets reaction and analysis from Big Issue reporter, Isabella McRae, Conservative counsellor Lana Hempsall and Jeremy Bernhaut from Rethink Mental Illness.Presented by Emma Tracey Sound mixed by Dave O'Neill Produced by Beth Rose and Adele Armstrong Editor: Damon Rose

Her new novel is 'Don't Make Me Laugh', which looks at the culture within the world of comedy... an industry which is rapidly approaching a #MeToo moment. It tells the story of Ali Lauder, a radio producer enlisted to hire Paul Bonatti to host a show. It could be her career breakthrough. Bonatti is a comedian who is thought to be cosy, warm, cool, and a fun feminist... turns out he's anything but.We talk about how the idea developed from experiencing life at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, covering it as a journalist, and then thinking there was more to be discussed as a novel. You can hear why being a journalist isn't always helpful to novel writing, why she had to trick herself to write, and whether she was ever worried it wasn't her story to tell.You can get a copy of the novel at uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineSupport the show at patreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

A moving exploration of the life and work of the celebrated American writer, blending biography and memoir with literary criticism. Since James Baldwin's death in 1987, his writing - including The Fire Next Time, one of the manifestos of the Civil Rights Movement, and Giovanni's Room, a pioneering work of gay fiction - has only grown in relevance. Douglas Field was introduced to Baldwin's essays and novels by his father, who witnessed the writer's debate with William F. Buckley at Cambridge University in 1965. In Walking in the Dark: James Baldwin, My Father and I (Manchester UP, 2024), he embarks on a journey to unravel his life-long fascination and to understand why Baldwin continues to enthral us decades after his death. Tracing Baldwin's footsteps in France, the US and Switzerland, and digging into archives, Field paints an intimate portrait of the writer's life and influence. At the same time, he offers a poignant account of coming to terms with his father's Alzheimer's disease. Interweaving Baldwin's writings on family, illness, memory and place, Walking in the dark is an eloquent testament to the enduring power of great literature to illuminate our paths. Douglas Field is a writer and academic who teaches American literature at the University of Manchester. He has published two books on James Baldwin, the most recent of which is All Those Strangers: The Art and Lives of James Baldwin (2015). His work has been published in Beat Scene, the Big Issue, the Guardian and the Times Literary Supplement, where he has been a regular contributor for twenty years. He is a founding editor of James Baldwin Review. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel. Twitter.
