Are you longing to connect with your deceased loved ones and spirit guides? In this episode, I share my personal journey to developing my mediumship abilities and communicating with my loved ones and spirit guides. I share about how these gifts have shaped my work as an intuitive counselor and why I believe we all have the potential to tap into our intuitive and mediumship abilities. I also share about my initial reluctance to offer my services as a medium and how I learned to have more trust in myself and my spiritual connection. Whether you're just beginning your spiritual journey or looking to deepen your connection with your inner wisdom, this episode offers practical insights and inspiration for embracing your spiritual gifts. Key takeaways: Everyone is a medium. We just need to learn how to connect. Our loved ones and guides are always around us; the trick is to start paying attention. The more we trust in ourselves and our guides, the stronger our intuitive connection becomes. Wherever you are in your intuitive journey is just right. Stick with it and keep going!

Today's poem is a roller-coaster of machismo and vulnerability in that most singular of places–the poetry section of a small bookstore. Happy reading.Kingsley Amis (1922–1995) was a popular and prolific British novelist, poet, satirist, and critic. Born in suburban South London, the only child of a clerk in the office of the mustard-maker Colman's, he won an English scholarship to St John's College, Oxford, where he began a lifelong friendship with fellow student Philip Larkin. Following service in the British Army's Royal Corps of Signals during World War II, he completed his degree and joined the faculty at the University College of Swansea in Wales. Lucky Jim, his first novel, appeared in 1954 to great acclaim and won a Somerset Maugham Award. Ultimately he published twenty-four novels, including science fiction and a James Bond sequel; more than a dozen collections of poetry, short stories, and literary criticism; restaurant reviews and three books about drinking; political pamphlets and a memoir; and more. Amis received the Booker Prize for his novel The Old Devils in 1986 and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1990.-bio via NYRB This is a public episode.

Join us in a lively celebration of holiday cheer as we gather at Parkwood Studios to wrap gifts with friend of the show, Rachel Bell. “Wrapping Gifts and Unwrapping Wisdom” A festive spirit fills the air as Rachel and Host Skip Lineberg reminisce about memorable moments from past episodes, sharing laughter and witty banter. As the gift-wrapping frenzy unfolds, we explore the profound wisdom shared by our guests this season. These stories underscore the importance of embracing challenges and finding fulfillment through persistence and adaptability, all while highlighting the joyous imperfections of holiday preparations. A surprise guest appears when the wrapping session is interrupted by a persistent courier from Wisdom Delivery Service, an upstart package delivery company. The delivery guy brings a package featuring wisdom from Skip's past, emphasizing the importance of perspective. Can you guess who plays this cameo role? Atop the campy escapades, amidst the glitter and despite several cornball jokes, you will enjoy highlights and soundbites comprising some of the best wisdom from Season 5.

Hey everyone, and Happy New Year! We're back with the second half of our "Year-in-Review" show, and this time, we're focusing on what Shaun, Mike and Adam want to see more of in the coming year. Hint: it's not more Disney+ specials set in the Star Wars Universe. But it is: more great anime, like Cowboy Beebop Fantasy like House of the Dragon More cyberpunk like 36 Streets And more! Since it's that time of year where we reflect on all of the awesome things in our lives, we want to thank you, our listeners for hanging around with us. It's great to know that there are likeminded nerdy fiction fans out there, and that you think we're worth your time. Thanks for listening! We'd also like to thank our friends over at Za Bills Podcast for not only being a kick ass podcast, but for also giving Shaun some time over on the mic there too. If you need pizza recommendations while you're in the Buffalo Region, give them a listen ahead of time -- they know their za! If you'd like to support our cast, a simple review on wherever you listen would make a huge difference in helping other people find us. Or, if you prefer, follow us on Goodreads - we tend to know a little about books, if you're looking for recommendations! Lastly, if you're in the market for a new book, why not use our Bookshop.org shop? Purchasing anything from Bookshop.org while using that link will send 15% our way, so it helps us pay for the monthly cost to host the show, or new equipment. Like new cables, for example. If you're ready to continue your training, young padawan, we're going to be talking about George RR Martin's short work, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms as well as the famous Ghost in the Shell. Make sure to watch the 1995 anime version, not the newer live action film if you want to join along in the convo. Till then, cheers!

Let's play fill-in-the-blank: Sex is _____ . The possibilities are endless! But, my word of choice is intimate. It's a perfect shorthand for the spectrum of desires, experiences, and, yes, traumas that inform every sexual encounter––even if the act in question is fake. As in: part of an acclaimed Hollywood film in which sex represents the main character's evolving agency. Intimacy Coordinator Elle McAlpine has worked on some impressive projects, including the award-winning film, Poor Things and the award-winning Netflix series Baby Reindeer. Co-host Anne Remy engages Elle in a nuanced conversation about the power dynamics, energy transference, and permission structures at play behind the scenes of our favorite films and series. GUEST BIO Elle McAlpine is the co-founder of EK Intimacy and brings a unique perspective to intimacy coordination through her background in acting and directing. Passionate about exploring character psychology and storytelling through sexual expression, she helps create spaces where actors can approach intimate scenes with agency and creativity. Her recent work includes Poor Things, One Day, and The Winter King.

Author Matt Scott discusses his political thriller series, Surviving the Lion's Den. All three books in this trilogy—Surviving the Lion's Den, The Iranian Deception, and The Ayatollah Takedown—are available now. The series opens with a race against time. Can the main characters make it safely out of Iran in the midst of a political coup to overthrow Iran's Supreme Leader—a coup orchestrated by the U.S. government? Inspired by Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, Matt set about to write a series that would explore what it looks like to be inside Iran during a regime change. The books feature CIA operatives, Iranian insiders, international intrigue, geopolitical conflicts, and plenty of fast-paced tension.
