Introducing Too Niche?'s unofficial book club—today we're talking The Ambition Trap by Amina AlTai. I'm joined by Amina to explore what it really means to move from burnout to purpose. We get into the post-girlboss reckoning, the zone of genius vs. the zone of “meh,” and how redefining ambition can reshape our work, creativity, and everyday lives.

RHLSTP Book Club #147 - Sceptred Isle - Richard talks to brilliant historian Helen Carr about her history of the Fourteenth Century, Sceptred Isle. They chat about being the great-granddaughter of a EH Carr (come on, you know who he is), the incredible violence of the 1300s and how that juxtaposes with notions of romance and chivalry, whether Richard II was a narcissist or even worse comparable to one of the nation's favourite entertainers, how the Black Death brought misery and opportunity, whether rumours about Piers Gaveston and red hot pokers have any truth to them, did the 100 years war have to be quite that long and how seriously was anyone taking it, severed penises thrown on to fires and much more.Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/sceptred-isle-a-revolutionary-history-of-the-fourteenth-century-helen-carr/7738985SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America explore Chapter 6 of Overruled by Justice Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze, delving into the tension between ordered liberty and oppressive regulation. They highlight stories of ordinary Americans, foster parents sidelined over faith, hair braiders and eyebrow threaders crushed by arbitrary licensing laws, and recovering addicts devastated by pandemic isolation. The reading underscores how overreaching rules, from cosmetology mandates to emergency COVID edicts, systematically erode community bonds and self-reliance. The hosts reflect on the paradox of laws meant to protect freedom but increasingly used to control dissent, shut down small businesses, and undermine civic trust. Drawing connections to modern ideological warfare and the deliberate centralization of authority, they share frustrations and cautionary lessons. The conversation closes with a call to reclaim sovereignty by resisting demoralization, defending the right to associate, and standing firm against bureaucratic overreach.

There's been another MURDER in the 3rd editor Susan Ryeland / detective Atticus Pünd novel MARBLE HALL MURDERS. This week we tackle pages 200-407! Let's Solve the whodunnits within this fun book! Alan Conway is dead - long live Atticus Pünd who's brought back from the fictional dead as a continuation novel by failed author Eliot Crace, the grandson of famed deceased children's author, Miriam Crace. Susan needs work, so she's drafted to help the washed out Eliot turn his manuscript into a worthy entry in the Atticus Pund series. As Susan delves into the manuscript, she discovers uncanny parallels between the fictional world and real-life Crace family secrets. This meta spin on a Golden Age Murder Mystery features several fair play puzzles that we can solve!  Who killed Lady Margaret Chalfont? Was she poisoned? How? Why?

"Marble Hall Murders (Susan Ryeland #3)" is a novel by Anthony Horowitz, the third book in the Susan Ryeland series, featuring the character who edits the fictional detective Atticus Pünd. In this installment, Susan Ryeland is tasked with editing a continuation novel titled "Pünd's Last Case" written by Eliot Crace, who is also the grandson of a deceased children's author. Eliot believes his grandmother was murdered, and he's hidden clues about her death within his novel. As Susan delves into the manuscript, she discovers uncanny parallels between the fictional world and real-life Crace family secrets, ultimately leading her to become a target.

Editor Susan Ryeland has left her Greek island, her hotel, and her Greek boyfriend Andreas in search of a new life back in England. Freelancing for Causton Books, she's working on the manuscript of a novel, Pund's Last Case, by a young author named Eliot Crace, a continuation of the popular Alan Conway series. Susan is surprised to learn that Eliot is the grandson of legendary children's author Marian Crace, who died some fifteen years ago—murdered, Elliot insists, by poison. As Susan begins to read the manuscript's opening chapters, the skeptical editor is relieved to find that Pund's Last Case is actually very good. Set in the South of France, it revolves around the mysterious death of Lady Margaret Chalfont, who, though mortally ill, is poisoned—perhaps by a member of her own family. But who did it? And why?

I got to try these out for a pre-release fitting which of course made me feel super special. And I've had them in the bag for about two weeks now and holy cow are they good. And we break down how having the right equipment can help your mental game. ----- Links mentioned:

Bruce Holsinger joins us to discuss Culpability (Spiegel & Grau, July 8), an Oprah's Book Club pick. Kirkus: “Medieval historian-turned-novelist Holsinger seems to have created his own subgenre of psychosocial thriller, spinning super-smart, propulsive page-turners out of zeitgeisty worries like ultracompetitive school admissions (The Gifted School, 2019), disaster relief (The Displacements, 2022), and now, to absolutely crushing effect, artificial intelligence” (starred review). Then our editors recommend their top picks in books for the week.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Back in 2022, on a ski trip to Mazama, Washington, K2 ski designer, Jed Yeiser, K2 skier, McKenna Peterson, and Jonathan agreed that they would one day have a conversation about ‘The Hitchhiker's Guide' for the Blister Book Club. And today is that day. Plus, this strange little book seems to only be gaining more relevance with each passing year.You're also going to learn about the sport of ski-boxing; you'll get a sneak peek at the name of a future K2 ski, and you can decide whether you agree with my suggestion that Vanilla Ice was influenced by this book.Note: We Want to Hear From You!We'd love for you to share with us the stories or topics you'd like us to cover next month on Reviewing the News; ask your most pressing mountain town advice questions, or offer your hot takes for us to rate.

This week I went full trash-TV-to-education-policy mode after Kourtney Kardashian called public school “dated” and bragged about homeschool like she invented it. And y'all… I have thoughts. We're talking 1% privilege, educational history, and why calling schools outdated is actually the most outdated take of all. Then we pivot—hard—to some iconic voicemail chaos, including the loudest poop story I've ever heard and a kid who apparently mistook the restroom for a personal performance space. And yes, I ask the most important question of the day: would you ever let one rip in your classroom? Plus, I drop a bookish resource that I genuinely use and love (and that Courtney herself might wanna look into… just saying). Takeaways: Kourtney Kardashian said public school is “so dated”… and I might've blacked out from rage. One teacher shares what happens when your students want instant grades—and zero accountability. A bathroom story goes off the rails with moaning, shaking, and one of the weirdest hallway convos ever. I confess my deepest fart shame—and ask if you've ever taken the blame for your student's. This week's resource might just rescue your classroom library—and your bank account. — Join our Book Club: www.patreon.com/thosewhocanread Don't Be Shy Come Say Hi: www.podcasterandrea.com Watch on YouTube: @educatorandrea A Human Content Production Learn more about your ad choices.
