The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 2nd study session on Char Adams' Black-Owned: The Revolutionary Life of the Black Bookstore. Published in 2025, Adams' new book made a number of lists for top books of the year. Listed as an "award-winning journalist, editor, and storyteller for NBC News, known for her work on race, identity, and inequitable systems," Adams is a lovely black female, Victim of Racism. This book examines the history of people classified as black in the area of the world known as the US. Specifically, Adams investigates how black people have responded to the System of White Supremacy through the lens of bookstores owned and operated by black people. C.O.W.S. listeners should know that White Supremacists have invested immense time and energy to ensure that black people do not read or have access to books. So, black bookstores must be heavily targeted places. During the premier installment, Gus noted that Adams submits that books and reading are a part of black culture. Gus T. is incredulous. On a point with zero ambiguity, the very beginning of the book stresses that for black people to have the space and time to read, think, reflect, and exchange views on what we read about Racism is often considered a criminal act by White people. #COINTELPRO #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Bookstore giant Barnes & Noble is opening new locations in downtown, Hyde Park, Oak Park and Skokie. As the chain continues to see growth since its change in leadership in 2019, some are concerned about the return of the big-box bookstore where small, independent bookstores already exist. In the Loop talks about the Barnes & Noble expansion in Chicago, its impact on local bookshops and how indie bookstores and large booksellers can coexist in the city. We speak with Barnes and Noble CEO James Daunt, Volumes Bookcafe co-owner Rebecca George and Call & Response Books owner Courtney Bledsoe. For a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop.

Episode 15 of Book Brothers is all about "name dropping" as Michael and Tom recount their interactions with various celebrities and luminaries in their respective fields. Stephen King, Drew Carey, Philip Glass, Dennis McNally (author and Grateful Dead publicist) are among some of the names that the Zubals have had the good fortune to meet and work with. 

Author and social critic James Howard Kunstler joins us this morning to discuss his new novel, "Look I'm Gone." The book is a coming-of-age tale set in November of 1963 that captures the very moment America - and one smart-mouthed boy - lost their innocence. He will be speaking about the book at Northshire Bookstore in Saratoga Springs on Thursday, January 15th at 6PM.

On this episode of Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes author Tamar Arslanian and award-winning pet photographer Andrew Marttila to explore the revised and expanded edition of Shop Cats of New York. These beloved feline residents may not appear on leases or in travel guides, but they are just as essential to New York City as yellow taxis and corner delis. Nestled inside bookstores, record shops, breweries, hotels, and neighborhood businesses, shop cats bring warmth, personality, and magic to the city streets. Tamar and Andrew share heartfelt stories and vivid photography featuring unforgettable cats like Ratty of the East Village stamp shop, bonded duo Patience and Fortitude, and the legendary Jack Daniels Bagley. Beyond celebrating these pampered shop mascots, the book highlights the positive role shop cats play in communities, encourages businesses to embrace feline companions, and inspires rescuers to consider non-traditional, loving homes for cats in need. Equal parts travel guide, tribute, and photo essay, Shop Cats of New York is a love letter to the city—and the cats who make it purr.EPISODE NOTES: Bodega Bosses & Bookstore Cats: Inside Shop Cats of New YorkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.

KINGDOM of the OCCULT (Original Classic) - In this classic talk, Dr. Walter Martin exposes the danger of Occult practices. Dabbling in the Occult puts people into direct contact with demonic entities who intend to harm the practitioner in whatever way possible and lead them away from the true Jesus Christ and the salvation that He offers.https://waltermartin.com/whatsnew.htmlPick up your copy of The Kingdom of the Occult in our Bookstore or a bookstore near you. The moment Lucifer fell from heaven and became Satan, the world of the occult was born. The power of the occult is nothing new and certainly nothing secret. Its influence spans the centuries and continues into the modern world. . . . Today we are in a war against the forces of darkness—in the form of the occult. Are you armed and dangerous? The Church must be prepared to do battle against the powers of evil, and to present the truth in love. The challenge is daunting, to be sure, but Jesus faced the worst the enemy had to offer—and He won. Now, filled with His Spirit and equipped with the truths found in The Kingdom of the Occult, you can win too! In this single-volume resource, you will find all the information you need to understand the occult, oppose its teachings, and proclaim the good news to a world in need of light!Online version of book:  https://archive.org/details/bwb_P8-AXI-381Send Us a Topic or Question you want to see covered.Find Us & Follow, Likes n Share helps our Reach.-Amos37 Website-Amos37 on Facebook-Amos37 on Instagram-Amos37 on Rumble-Amos37 on Gettr-Amos37 on Gab-Amos37 on Parler

In this episode, I'm sharing the unexpected epiphany I had on a Michigan highway that completely changed how I view my business—and success itself. After years of trying to follow the industry's push to “scale,” I realized I didn't actually want a scalable offer. What I truly wanted was impact, freedom, and a business built on my terms. Let's dive into why becoming a true business genius starts with defining success for yourself—not based on what coaches, consultants, or the online space say you “should” want. Whether success for you means multiple locations, a three-day-a-week schedule, a seven-figure business, or simply a steady paycheck that supports your life, I want to help you get clear on what your end goal really is. If you're ready to let go of vanity metrics, reduce the stress, and start building a business that genuinely serves you, this episode is your invitation.

Your King James Bible is not shy, it has a lot to say about what the word of God is, what it is not, how it operates and functions in the lives of the believer, and how God views it above and beyond your thoughts, feelings, emotions and opinions. If you want to learn all about the Bible, the best place to begin is found in the pages of The Book itself. On this Sunday Service message, I bring you the truth about what the Bible has to say about the word of God. Preached live this morning at the Bible Believers Church at the Bookstore in Palatka, Florida.
