Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our seventy-fourth episode, and last in our season on banned books, we celebrate (?) Christmas with the inappropriately summery Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852). There are ample Simpsons and South Park references, we reveal that everything we knew about this book we both learned from The King and I, and Daniel gets annoyed by a Bookends slight AND by his own previously poor skills in name analysis.Cover art © Catherine Wu.Episode Theme: 'Ol' Man River'.

It's a big weekend of football ahead, and we cover it all.First, we take a few minutes to break down the College Football Playoff "controversy" and what it means for the Vegas sportsbook.

In our monthly challenge That's Puzzling!, Piya Chattopadhyay competes against familiar voices and clever listeners in a battle of brain games devised by puzzle master Peter Brown. In this special edition, recorded live in Toronto as part of CBC's national holiday campaign Make the Season Kind, Bookends host Mattea Roach, actress and comedian Jennifer Whalen and a whip smart audience member enter the puzzledome to duke it out for glory.

What's more horrifying than slashers, monsters … and Vancouver real estate? This week, Bookends brings you on-stage at the Vancouver Writers Fest. Back in October, Mattea Roach was joined by writers Mona Awad, Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Jen Sookfong Lee for a special panel about how the horror genre reflects our lived experiences. All three authors have written horror stories that go deeper than jump scares or screams in the dark. Their novels tell us the truth about the world through metaphor, myth and monsters … and share why real life is sometimes scarier than fantasy. Liked this conversation? Keep listening:Why Mona Awad gave the Bunnies a say Erica McKeen: Using horror and surrealism to explore grief, care and love in new novel Cicada Summer

Host Piya Chattopadhyay speaks with journalist Ana Vanessa Herrero and Latin America expert Rebecca Hanson about U.S. President Donald Trump's growing threats to Venezuela and his administration's strikes in the broader region, Ali Kharsa shares his experience fleeing Syria's civil war for Canada a decade ago and University of Ottawa professor Christina Clark-Kazak discusses the current state of Canada's refugee programs, and our monthly challenge That's Puzzling! returns for a special edition recorded live in Toronto with Bookends host Mattea Roach and actress and comedian Jennifer Whalen.Discover more at cbc.ca/sunday.

Hi everyone, I hope you enjoy this microfiction fantasy story I wrote and submitted as part of NYC Midnight’s 250-word Microfiction Contest.

Send us a textHi everybody and welcome to today's episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein. I have a feeling that, pretty soon, I'm going to have to rename this podcast “Recency Bias,” since I've received a ton of requests from people who want to come on the show and talk about shows from Phish's 2025 summer tour. Not that it hasn't happened before, but there was something about this tour that awakened the fanbase. People who saw Phish for the first time, or the 200th time are eager to talk about 2025. Luckily, for today's episode, my friends Casey and Jenn have a great story to tell, as we explore their summer through bookends of the 2025 tour. We review the third night of the opening run in Manchester, June 22, 2024 then fast forward to the tour closing show: night three at Saratoga, 7/27/25.If you are a regular listener, you may remember Casey and Jenn from their preview of the SNHU Arena in Manchester during the summer venue preview series. They both live in Manchester, and decided to get married before night 1 of that run. That obviously made the night special in its own way, but it wasn't until the third night of Manchester where Phish dropped a Tweezerfest in the 2nd set where everything clicked musically.Then there's the third night of SPAC where Phish played one of the most memorable shows in years. The first set caught everyone off guard as the band blended great, cohesive jamming with unprecedented setlist games, playing Tweezer Reprise to end nearly every song. Although the venue was still standing as we left, our minds were shattered in the best ways possible.It's not often that the first and last stands of a summer tour have the same energy and memorable personalities, but 2025 is the gift that keeps on giving. Join Casey and Jenn to hear about baked beans, Lee's Campground, bingo boards, and more as we discuss Summer 2025 bookends from Manchester and Saratoga. Support the show

How tough was it to pick our "album bookends" this week (that is, albums that have a great first and last track)? You could say that's impossible, that's im-poss-i-ble. But, fortunately, we're everywhere that you are! We're un-alone for this discussion, because (if you couldn't have guessed) we have guitarist/singer/songwriter Steve Barton and drummer Dave Scheff from one of the best American bands of the '80s, Translator! Translator released four excellent albums for 415/Columbia: Heartbeats and Triggers (1982), No Time Like Now (1983), Translator (1985), and Evening of the Harvest (1986). At the end of their initial run, they played a final gig at the Farm in their home base of San Francisco. Captured on a cassette, nearly 40 years later, that incendiary live set is out for the first time on download, LP, or CD as Beyond Today: Live at the Farm San Francisco: 1986. from Liberation Hall. https://translatorlive.bandcamp.com As an added treat for fans, Beyond Today also contains two brand new Translator songs, "These Days to Come" and "With Your Dreams", both wonderfully mixed by Ed Stasium.

In this episode of Master Fiction Writing, we pair Step 12 (Story Timeline) and Step 13 (Opening & Closing) to shape your novel's container and its proof of change.

Tessa Hulls won a Pulitzer Prize for her first book. So why is it also her last? Tessa's graphic memoir, Feeding Ghosts, unravels the stories of three women in her family: her Chinese grandmother, her mother and herself.
