Tracy sits down with author/illustrator duo Britt Gondolfi and Amanda Romanick to discuss their timely, poetic, beautifully illustrated picture book "Look Up! Fontaine the Pigeon Starts a Revolution," Published by Paw Prints.

This picture book packs a powerful message with some seriously beautiful artwork. The revolution begins on April 30th! About the Britt & Amanda: Britt Gondolfi, born and raised in Southeast Louisiana, is a children's book author, community organizer, and mother.

Her first Children's book, "Look Up! Fontaine the Pigeon Starts a Revolution," is a hilarious social commentary on digital distraction and Nature's fight to save us from ourselves. Amanda Romanick is a multidisciplinary artist whose passion and education for craft began at the age of 5 when she was hand-selected for the Talented Arts Program in her hometown parish. She focused heavily on creative education and outlets like drawing and painting. She graduated with honors from Savannah College of Art and Design, where she concentrated on illustration and sequential art. Amanda is also a mom of a young child and felt the need to create a more balanced relationship between the natural world and screen use.

In this new podcast, Paul chats with the NYT best selling author of “Look for Me There: Grieving My Father, Finding Myself,” Luke Russert. Luke is the son of legendary political analyst and host of NBC's Meet the Press, Tim Russert who died so young and unexpectedly in the heat of the 2008 election. The book chronicles Luke's […]
“Look for me there,” news legend Tim Russert would tell his son, Luke, when confirming a pickup spot at an airport, sporting event, or rock concert. After Tim died unexpectedly, Luke kept looking for his father, following in Tim's footsteps and carving out a highly successful career at NBC News. After eight years covering politics on television, Luke realized he had no good answer as to why he was chasing his father's legacy. As the son of two accomplished parents—his mother is journalist Maureen Orth of Vanity Fair—Luke felt the pressure of high expectations but suddenly decided to leave the familiar path behind. Instead, Luke set out on his own to find answers. What began as several open-ended months of travel to decompress and reassess morphed into a three-plus-year odyssey across six continents to discover the world and, ultimately, to find himself. Look for Me There is both the vivid narrative of that journey and the emotional story of a young man taking charge of his life, reexamining his relationship with his parents, and finally grieving his larger-than-life father, who died too young. For anyone uncertain about the direction of their life or unsure of how to move forward after a loss, Look for Me There is a poignant reflection that offers encouragement to examine our choices, take risks, and discover our truest selves. Luke Orth Russert is an Emmy Award–winning journalist who was an NBC News correspondent from 2008 to 2016, primarily covering American politics. Since leaving broadcast journalism, he is the author of Look for Me There, a travel memoir about his three-and-a-half-year journey around the world that took him to more than sixty-five countries. Based in Washington, DC, he is the son of journalists Maureen Orth (Vanity Fair) and the late Tim Russert (NBC's Meet the Press).

The US economy stalled in recent weeks, with hiring and inflation slowing and access to credit narrowing, the Federal Reserve said in its Beige Book survey of regional business contacts. "Overall economic activity was little changed in recent weeks," the Fed said in the report, published two weeks before each meeting of the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee. "Several districts noted that banks tightened lending standards amid increased uncertainty and concerns about liquidity. Overall price levels rose moderately during this reporting period, though the rate of price increases appeared to be slowing."In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied examine this news and determine the effect it will have on the economy as a whole.They discuss a recent survey from LendingTree Inc., indicating that US consumers are increasingly using installment loans to pay for everyday items like groceries, highlighting the financial pain wrought by the worst inflation outbreak in four decades.Chris and Saied look at Meta's latest round of job cuts, as employees with technical backgrounds like user experience, software engineering, graphics programming are being let go.They also offer some thoughts on earnings season, demystifying some of the terminology and concepts that get tossed about so that you can better understand what earnings reports mean for you and the economy.Join Chris and Saied for this fascinating and informative conversation.Enjoy!What You'll Learn in this Show:How credit is being impacted by the stalling US economy.The Federal Reserve's Beige Book: What it is and why it matters.The rise of 'buy now, pay later' services, and the negative impact they're having on consumers.The continued rash of layoffs in the tech sector - and soon, the banking sector as well.And so much more...Resources:"US Economy Stalls as Credit Narrows, Fed's Beige Book Says" (Bloomberg)"Americans Go Deeper Into Debt as They Use Buy Now, Pay Later Apps for Groceries" (Bloomberg)"More US consumers are falling behind on payments" (Yahoo!
