Have you ever felt like you were doing everything right and still not feeling well? Maybe you've tried the diets, taken the supplements, pushed through the exhaustion, and still wondered why your body wasn't cooperating. This conversation is for you. Dr. Lynn Anderson, a naturopath, yoga instructor, and author with over 40 years of experience, joins Dr. Carver for a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually means to support your body, and why the answer is almost always simpler than we've been told.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why naturopathy is rooted in teaching, not treating, and how that shift in thinking can completely change your relationship with your own health.Why 90% of diets fail and what to focus on instead of restriction so your body actually gets what it needs.How chronic stress and unprocessed emotions can suppress your immune system and what breath work and yoga offer as a practical, free, and always-accessible reset.What light and color therapy is, how it works energetically in the body, and why the spectrum of natural light affects us more deeply than most people realize.Why your body's signals, including cravings, sensitivities, and symptoms, are worth listening to rather than overriding, and how to start tuning back in.About Dr. Lynn Anderson:Dr. Lynn Anderson is a naturopath, author, and Kriya Yoga instructor who spent decades working with patients dealing with chronic illness, eating disorders, diabetes, and cancer in her Los Angeles practice. She grew up steeped in folk medicine on a small island off the coast of Maine, and that grounding in nature's rhythms has shaped everything she teaches. She is the author of the Soul Walking book series and offers online yoga classes through her website.Key Insights:One of the most powerful ideas in this episode is the distinction between feeding your body and managing your cravings. Dr. Lynn describes asking her patients to focus first on giving the body what it genuinely needs, the right nutrients, the right fuel, and then allowing themselves whatever pleasure they wanted. More often than not, the cravings shifted on their own. It reframes the whole conversation around diet from deprivation to nourishment.Dr. Lynn and Dr. Carver also go deep on the concept of balance, not just in food but in how we live. From Kriya Yoga philosophy to the way Dr. Carver thinks about the oral microbiome, the through line is the same. Health is not about eliminating the bad. It's about cultivating the conditions where good things thrive.There's also a beautiful thread in this conversation about listening to your body as an intelligent system. Dr. Carver shares how she noticed her patients, and her own children, had an intuitive sense of what they needed before modern conditioning talked them out of it. Dr. Lynn's work in yoga and naturopathy is really about helping people find their way back to that inner knowing.Connect With Dr. Lynn Anderson: Website: doctorlynn.com Connect With Dr. Carver on IG @drrachaelecarver Still dealing with bleeding gums, bad breath, or gum recession and not sure where to start?

In this message, Nic continues the "Echoes" series by exploring a challenging aspect of our faith: Jesus as King. Drawing from the history of Israel and their complicated desire for a human king, Nic examines why we often try to solve spiritual problems with human solutions, effectively creating a "God Plus" mentality where we rely on external control—like finances, schedules, or security—rather than fully surrendering to God. Through the lens of Scripture, this talk highlights the contrast between the flawed leaders of history and the ultimate, sacrificial goodness of Jesus, inviting us to stop chasing the illusion of control and instead find true contentment by submitting to the one King whose reign is defined by love rather than power.

Rest to Return, a podcast for a restless world. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is your host. This series is rooted in Shabbat, an ancient Jewish practice that teaches us how to belong to time. Here, rest is a sacred rhythm woven into who we are. We continue by gathering around a single question: What is my sacred purpose? You can find more info about Tzedek Lab here. Settled back into his room, my dad was a bit frail…but he could still kiss us and us that he loved us! The list of 39 melachot can be found here. Olam haBah is often translated as “the world to come” and is used in reference to the afterlife. In this context, I'm using it to describe “the world as it could be” which includes dignity, equity, and liberation. The idea that each person is a letter in the Torah is rooted in Megaleh Amukot (Va'etchanan 186:1). I learned about the concept of “ratzon” from my teacher, colleague, and friend David Jaffe, Founder and Executive Director of Kirva. Rabbi Tarfon's quote comes from Pirkei Avot 2:16. One source for Rabbi Simcha Bunim's teaching is Tales of The Hasidim Later Masters by Martin Buber. The Mary Oliver line comes from her poem, entitled “The Summer Day”. This quote has been misattributed to Courtney Carver. It is instead referenced by Carver in her book, Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less and Live the Life You Actually You Want. The quotation itself comes from Psychologist Nicola Jane Hobbs who teaches, “Instead of asking, 'Have I worked hard enough to deserve rest?' ask, 'Have I rested enough to do my most loving, meaningful work?'"” The practice in this episode was inspired by a practice that I learned from Rabbi David Jaffe, Founder of Kirva, and it is one that I've enjoyed practicing with each Cohort of “Dismantling Racism from the Inside Out” that I have the privilege of co-facilitating for People of Colour, alongside Yehudah Webster. The next cohort begins in Fall 2026 and you can find more info here. This episode is brought to you by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. Rest to Return exists because we believe slowing down is a spiritual act. IJS believes that too. For over two decades, IJS has been helping people go deeper, through Jewish mindfulness meditation, contemplative prayer, sacred text study, and embodied practice. Their offerings range from online courses and silent retreats to immersive cohort programs for seekers of all experience levels, clergy, and spiritual leaders who are ready to live and lead from a more grounded place. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is part of IJS's core faculty, and the wisdom you'll hear in this series is very much in that spirit. If this podcast is stirring something in you, IJS is a place to go further.

If you've ever wondered why you keep getting the same symptoms on repeat, no matter what you try, this episode is going to shift something for you. Dr. Yi Song joins Dr. Carver for a conversation that bridges 17 generations of Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom with some of the most cutting-edge longevity science available today, and the through-line is surprisingly simple: when you understand your body's constitution, everything else starts to make sense.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why your body type, or constitution, is the foundation of everything in Chinese medicine, and how identifying yours can help you get ahead of symptoms before they become serious conditions.How the tongue reveals what's happening in your digestive system, your liver, your hormones, and even your emotional health, and why dentists like Dr. Carver are uniquely positioned to spot these patterns.Why skin conditions like eczema, acne, and psoriasis are rooted in digestive weakness and damp heat in the body, and what Chinese medicine does differently than a cortisone prescription.How stem cell therapy maps onto Chinese medicine philosophy, specifically the concept of replenishing declining kidney energy, and why starting in your 30s and 40s matters more than waiting.What micro-dosing GLP-1 peptides actually looks like when used intentionally for anti-aging, and why high doses may be doing more harm than good.About Dr. Yi Song:Dr. Yi Song is a Boston-based Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner with 25 years of clinical experience and 17 generations of TCM lineage in her family. She integrates stem cell therapy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and holistic longevity protocols to help people live healthier, longer. She is also the author of the upcoming book Heartbound and the Abridged Six Principles to Natural Longevity, available now on Amazon.Key Insights:One of the most grounding ideas Dr. Song shares is the concept of the body as a garden, not a machine. In Western medicine, we tend to wait for a part to break and then replace it. But in Chinese medicine, the whole irrigation system matters. A blockage somewhere upstream, often tied to emotional stress or long-term imbalance, can show up as a completely unrelated symptom somewhere else in the body. That's why a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment so often misses the mark.Dr. Song also unpacks why peptides like GLP-1 have real merit when used thoughtfully. The problem isn't the peptide itself, it's the dosing. At high doses, GLP-1 can impair the digestive system and cause muscle wasting, two things that in Chinese medicine represent a direct hit to your body's core energy. At micro-doses, the anti-aging effects are meaningful and far gentler on the system. She shares that she uses one milligram per week herself, sometimes less, as part of a broader longevity protocol.Perhaps the most personal thread in this conversation is the discussion of inherited chi, the prenatal life force energy we receive from our ancestors. If your parents or grandparents carried depletion, you may have started with a lower energy reserve than others. But Dr. Song is clear: it is never too late, and never too early, to begin rebuilding. Her own mother's recovery from severe osteoporosis and chronic leg pain, using a combination of TCM, stem cell therapy, and targeted herbal support, is living proof of that.Connect With Dr. Yi Song: Want to know your body's constitution and what you can do right now to get ahead of aging, fatigue, or chronic symptoms?

If 90% of code is now AI-generated, what happens to the engineers who never had to write it themselves? The ability to review code well, to catch what the LLM missed, depends on mental models that only come from practice. That tension sits at the center of this conversation.Rob and Hywel dig into how software engineers actually develop expertise, why knowledge transfer and real learning are not the same thing, and what it means to grow junior engineers in an era when the reps that used to build skill are disappearing. They also get into what separates engineers who get serious leverage from AI tools from those who don't, and why the answer has less to do with prompting tricks than with understanding how LLMs actually work.Hywel Carver is the founder and CEO of Skiller Whale, a human-led technical learning platform focused on building engineering skills through coached, hands-on practice. His teams have worked with organizations including Pleo, where one cohort saw a 235% productivity improvement through structured skills development.Topics covered:Why knowledge transfer is not the same as learningBloom's taxonomy and what it takes to evaluate code effectivelyHow AI adoption is changing the skill development path for junior engineersWhat separates high-leverage AI users from low-leverage onesMental models as the durable foundation for navigating constant changeWhether agile principles still hold in an AI-accelerated worldSubscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Money flow seemed to be against the grain and cattle markets again on Wednesday as we saw pressure across the ag trade except for soybean oil and lean hogs. Could this be a sign that funds are exiting their positions and taking money out of the ag markets? Is this simply a short term correction or the start of a longer term trend? We discuss that, algorithm trade action and more with Mike Zuzolo from Global Commodity Analytics. Find more online at https://www.globalcommresearch.com.

Antonio Martínez Aragón Nació en Granada en 1974, residió en Cádiz y se estableció en Málaga desde 1982. Estudió Ingeniería Industrial en Málaga y se licenció en Arquitectura por la Universidad de Granada entre 1996 y 2001. En 2014 defendió su tesis doctoral titulada “El espacio del realismo sucio”. Desde 2001 dirige su propio estudio en Málaga, donde combina arquitectura, escritura y dibujo. Se manifiesta como un profesional con sensibilidad artística: rechaza la perspectiva utilitaria de producir arquitectura de manera masiva durante la crisis, y opta por proyectos con profundidad narrativa y estética. Destaca que “cada edificio debe aportar” su voz al entorno urbano, conectando forma, contexto e historia. En sus propias palabras, aboga por una arquitectura con poesía, vinculada a la literatura, la lectura, la cultura y al realismo sucio – movimientos literarios que definen su tesis y estilo narrativo arquitectónico. Publicó en 2014 su primer libro de relatos y poemas, Diamantes del lodo, que aborda temas como la alienación, la crisis de identidad y la búsqueda de reconciliación con la vida y la gente. En algunos textos también incluye sus propias ilustraciones Junta de Andalucía. Ha declarado que sus influencias literarias van desde Bukowski, Carver y Raymond, al realismo sucio contemporáneo, valorando en particular Los placeres del condenado de Bukowski. También ha publicado Florilegio de un diletante (2023), una recopilación de aforismos, máximas y reflexiones nacidas de su vasta lectura—reflexiones que rayan entre el pensamiento personal, la arquitectura y el arte. Estilo: Arquitectura narrativa con sensibilidad literaria y realismo sucio.

Today we were pleased to host Marshall Carver, Professor of Finance at Tulane University, who is currently in Beijing teaching students through a joint program with the University of China Academy of Social Sciences (UCAS). We have known Marshall since his time at Tudor Pickering Holt, and he has since built a 20+ year career in equity and debt research. He joined the Tulane faculty five years ago and teaches energy-focused courses including energy investment banking, financial modeling, risk management, and equity research. We were excited to visit with Marshall and hear his firsthand perspectives from China. In our conversation, Marshall shares his experiences teaching energy finance and financial modeling in Beijing and his broader observations on China's rapidly evolving energy, manufacturing, and technology landscape. We discuss China's aggressive long-term focus on manufacturing, AI, renewable energy, batteries, EVs, automation, and infrastructure development through centralized five-year planning, and he explains why he believes China continues extending its lead across several energy transition industries. We explore parallels between the U.S. shale boom and China's current EV and renewable energy expansion, including the intense competition, quick scaling, overcapacity concerns, and profitability challenges facing many companies. Marshall outlines the differences he sees between Chinese and U.S. students in areas such as technology and AI tools, spreadsheet modeling, and engineering-focused education. We cover China's growing emphasis on energy security and its increasingly “all-of-the-above” approach to energy development, including coal, nuclear, renewables, and EV infrastructure investments. We also discuss the country's fast-growing EV ecosystem, long-range hybrid vehicles, AI and robotics adoption, and the broader geopolitical and industrial competition between China and the United States. We touch on demographic and real estate challenges within China, the role automation could play in offsetting labor constraints, and Marshall's fascinating personal observations from spending significant time on the ground in Beijing. It was a highly interesting discussion, and we appreciate Marshall for sharing his time and insights. Mike Bradley started the show by noting that this is a holiday-shortened trading week, with most markets trading on hopes of an imminent Iranian deal, even as those hopes are ironically being overshadowed by ongoing military strikes within the Gulf. On the bond market front, 10-year bond yields were trading just under 4.5% (down from a recent peak of ~4.7%) on optimism that inflation could begin to ease if a potential Iranian deal materializes. On the crude oil market front, WTI prices had pulled back to $92-$93/bbl (down $3-$4/bbl) amid growing optimism that an Iranian deal could be forthcoming. On the broader equity market front, markets continue to post new all-time highs (dialing in a significant amount of optimism), despite the ongoing cycle of weekly on-and-off talks with Iran. On the energy equity front, investors currently appear to be sitting on the sidelines, waiting to see which direction oil prices ultimately break. He ended by noting that energy investors also seem to be positioning for the next major Energy/Electric sector deal now that 1Q26 earnings calls are in the rearview mirror. Arjun Murti discussed several major themes emerging from the ongoing Iran conflict and broader energy markets. He emphasized that nothing about the current geopolitical backdrop appears to be slowing the ongoing “power super cycle,” particularly given strong hyperscaler earnings, capex growth, and continued AI-driven electricity demand. He also pushed back on the idea that oil is entering a new long-term super cycle and reiterated Veriten's view that the market environment is better characterized as “geopolitical super vol,” with continued spikes and pullbacks driven by geopolitical developments rather than structurally higher long-term oil prices. He outlined what Veriten is calling the “Four Ds” of pragmatic energy policy: maximizing domestic production, diversifying energy sources and technologies, doing more with existing assets, and embracing digital transformation and AI. Arjun ended by highlighting China as a notable example of a resource-constrained country pursuing an aggressive “all-of-the-above” strategy across coal, renewables, automation, and AI.

The only pediatric doctor formulated probiotic and supplement for kids: microbiome-magic The test for your child's microbiome: https://www.tinyhealth.com/If you've ever done everything "right" for your kids, clean eating, good hygiene, regular checkups, and still watched them struggle with cavities, ear infections, big tonsils, or just getting sick over and over again, this conversation is going to stop you in your tracks. Because the answer isn't in the toothbrush. It isn't in the antibiotic. It starts in the gut, and it shows up everywhere.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why tooth decay in children is not a hygiene problem but a sign that the immune system and microbiome are out of balance, and what to do about it.How the oral microbiome and gut microbiome are in constant conversation, and why disrupting one affects the other, and ultimately the whole child.What early warning signs like mouth breathing, enlarged tonsils, frequent ear infections, and bad breath are actually telling you about your child's gut health.Which foundational lab tests Dr. Song recommends for children and teenagers, including why fasting insulin and cholesterol are two markers most pediatricians aren't checking but probably should be.The three microbiome champion food categories most kids are missing, and the key nutrients almost every child needs more of, even the healthy eaters.About Dr. Elisa Song: Dr. Elisa Song is a Stanford, NYU, and UCSF-trained integrative pediatrician, pediatric functional medicine expert, and the founder of Healthy Kids Happy Kids. She is the author of the Healthy Kids Happy Kids book and the creator of a clinically backed pediatric supplement line designed to fill both the nutritional and microbiome gaps in children's diets. She is also the Chief Medical Officer for Tiny Health, a microbiome testing company with age-appropriate reference ranges for babies and children. Dr. Song has spent over two decades helping families prevent and reverse chronic childhood illness by getting to the root.Key Insights:One of the most important reframes in this conversation is that cavities are not a brushing problem. They are a terrain problem. When the oral microbiome is off, when pathogenic bacteria are overpowering the beneficial ones, decay follows. And the oral microbiome doesn't exist in isolation. It's in constant crosstalk with the gut, the immune system, the sinuses, and even the developing brain. So when a child has a mouthful of cavities despite a health-conscious home, the question to ask isn't what are they eating. It's what is their body doing with it.Dr. Song and Dr. Carver also dig into something that doesn't get nearly enough airtime in conventional pediatrics, which is that chronic childhood symptoms like enlarged tonsils, mouth breathing, frequent ear infections, and recurring congestion are immune signals, not just developmental quirks. They are the body asking for help. And in many cases, the gut microbiome is the place to start looking for answers.Perhaps the most powerful moment in this episode is the conversation around autoimmunity starting decades before a diagnosis. Research shows that autoimmune antibody rates in teenagers have been rising steadily since the 1980s. These kids don't have a disease yet, but their immune system is already raising its hand. The encouraging news, and both Dr. Song and Dr. Carver are clear about this, is that we can course correct. Supporting the gut microbiome, optimizing nutrition, and calming the nervous system are not just wellness trends. They are genuinely preventive medicine.Resources Mentioned: [Placeholder: Add any books, tools, or links mentioned in this episode, including Dr. Song's book Healthy Kids Happy Kids and the Tiny Health microbiome test.]Connect With Dr. Elisa Song: Website: healthyhappykids.com Instagram: @healthykids_happykidsThe only pediatric doctor formulated probiotic and supplement for kids: microbiome-magic Test your child's microbiome: https://www.tinyhealth.com/FREE How to Reverse Gum Disease in 6 Weeks: ReverseGumDiseaseConnect With Dr. Rachaele Carver: Join the 6-Week Gum Disease CourseBook Your Personalized ConsultationSubscribe and Leave a Review: If this episode spoke to something you've been carrying as a parent, please share it with a mom who needs to hear it, and if you haven't already, subscribe and leave a review so more families can find this conversation.Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.  Information discussed is not intended for diagnosis, curing, or prevention of any disease and is not intended to replace advice given by a licensed healthcare practitioner.  Opinions from guests are their own, and this podcast does not condone or endorse opinions made by guests.  This podcast and its guests may have direct or indirect financial interests associated with products mentioned.

She called her advisor on closing day. Boxes still everywhere, no movers available, hours until she had to be out. He showed up in his truck, spent four hours hauling boxes to a friend's garage, and wouldn't let her pay a dime. That's the kind of advisor Dan Carver is, and that story tells you more about his practice than any credential ever could.Dan Carver is a St. Louis-based financial advisor with 26 years of experience helping ordinary people make smart decisions with their money. His book, Blue Jean Millionaire, takes its title from a formative observation Dan made in high school: the wealthiest kids in his class were often the ones in jeans and flannel, driving beat-up cars, quietly letting their money work. The flashy ones were a different story. That early lesson has shaped how Dan advises clients ever since.In this episode, Dan joins Gabe McManus for a wide-ranging conversation on what real wealth looks like, the hidden dangers of financial disorganization, and how good advisors push clients toward decisions they'd rather avoid. Dan shares stories from 26 years in the field — a million-dollar 401k with no beneficiary, a carpenter who needed life insurance and didn't want to hear it, nurses burned out by COVID who needed a new plan fast, and couples who looked wealthy from the outside but were drowning in debt.About Dan Carver Dan Carver is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) based in St. Louis, Missouri, with 26 years of experience in financial advising. He specializes in helping middle-class families and everyday investors build long-term financial security through disciplined, conservative planning.

International student enrollment in the United States reached record highs in 2024–2025, followed by a sharp and uneven decline heading into 2025–2026. While top-tier institutions continue to attract global talent, regional and private institutions are facing growing pressure as visa restrictions, geopolitical dynamics, and shifting perceptions of the U.S. reshape the enrollment landscape. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Dr. Shaun Carver, Executive Director of UC Berkeley's International House, about how institutions must rethink international enrollment strategy in response to these structural changes. Drawing on more than two decades of experience in international education, Carver explains why the traditional model of bringing students to U.S. campuses is no longer sufficient—and what institutions can do to remain competitive. This conversation explores how global competition, parental decision-making, and policy shifts are influencing enrollment patterns, and why institutions must begin thinking beyond geographic boundaries to sustain international engagement. Topics Covered: Why international enrollment declines are impacting institutions unevenly How global brand strength influences student decision-making Why undergraduate international enrollment is more vulnerable than graduate programs The role of parental perception in international student recruitment Why universities are exploring global delivery models and partnerships How foreign governments are funding international campus expansion The broader economic and workforce impact of international students Why institutional leadership must advocate for international students Real-World Examples Discussed: UC Berkeley increasing international enrollment despite broader national declines International House's model of integrating students from over 80 nationalities Countries like Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia investing in global education hubs Students choosing Canada, the UK, and Australia over U.S. regional institutions The long-term impact of international students on innovation and workforce development Three Key Takeaways for Leadership: Universities should maintain institutional neutrality and create environments where all viewpoints are welcome and can be examined through civil discourse. Institutional leaders must actively advocate for international students, clearly communicating their economic, academic, and societal contributions.

Do we respond to hardship with bitterness or with faith? George Washington Carver's life shows us that when we seek the Creator for wisdom, He guides both our character and our calling. Born into slavery, Carver chose love over resentment, asking “the God who made the peanut” to reveal its purpose and using his discoveries to bless a broken South. In him we see that when we are born again (John 3:3), our work becomes worship and our lives become channels of healing grace.

Prioritizing joy-led content creation, leaning into email, and building a sustainable business as a food creator with Ashlea Carver from All the Healthy Things. ----- Welcome to episode 565 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Ashlea Carver from All the Healthy Things. How to Keep Creating Without Burning Out Ashlea Carver has been creating food content for ten years, and in that time she's built a well-rounded and financially diversified businesses. But longevity in this industry isn't just about strategy — it's about learning how to navigate the harder parts of being a creator online. In this episode, Ashlea and Bjork dig into the mindset shifts that have kept her going — how she handles comparison and how she's made a deliberate choice to lead with joy in her business decisions to avoid burnout. They also get into the practical side of her business — why her blog is still her most valuable platform and biggest revenue driver, why she's prioritizing email, and how she thinks about Instagram in an era where personality-forward content is so important. It's an honest conversation about building a business that lasts — one that doesn't burn you out, doesn't make you dependent on any single platform, and actually feels good to run. Three episode takeaways: Why slowing down is one of the most important things you can do for your business — Ashlea shares why she carves out intentional time a few times a year for an "owner's retreat" — a dedicated window to step back, assess what's working and what isn't, and make decisions from a place of clarity rather than reaction. She and Bjork talk about the difference between being driven by purpose versus being driven by numbers, and why leaning into joy is a legitimate business strategy. Why your blog and email list are still your most valuable assets — Ashlea shares why her blog remains her biggest revenue driver and why owning your platform matters now more than ever. She also explains how she's built an email strategy around three weekly broadcasts, what she's experimenting with on the paid subscriber side, and why email is the best buffer she has against algorithm changes. How Ashlea is thinking about AI, Instagram, and the future of her brand — From her decision to bring more personality into her content as a direct response to the rise of AI, to her thoughtful reluctance to lean too heavily into AI tools in her own workflow, Ashlea shares a refreshingly intentional approach to showing up online. She also breaks down what her monetization mix actually looks like — ad revenue, sponsored content, affiliate — and why she hired an agency to help manage brand partnerships.

Best known for his work with peanuts, renowned agricultural scientist George Washington Carver had a lifelong passion for needlework. Park Ranger Curtis Gregory shares stories about Carver's interests in handwork and natural dyeing. Born in 1865 near Diamond, Missouri, George Washington Carver is one of the best known and most respected agricultural scientists in the history of the United States. Before his death in 1943, Carver “created 325 uses for peanuts, 108 applications for sweet potatoes and 75 products derived from pecans. Some of the products he created include chili sauce, meat tenderizer, instant coffee, shaving cream, and Worcestershire sauce,” according to the National Park Service website. Park Ranger Curtis Gregory stewards the scientist's legacy and shares stories of his life at the George Washington Carver National Monument, which is located at Carver's birthplace. Even in his most industrious decades, as Carver obtained a masters degree, taught at the Tuskegee Institute, and worked in a laboratory, he kept his hands busy with needlework. Any crafter today will relate to his recollection in a 1931 letter: “If I had leisure time from roaming the woods and fields, I put it in knitting, crocheting, and other forms of fancy work” (quoted in Kremer, Gary R., ed., George Washington Carver in His Own Words (Columbia, Missouri: University of Missouri Press, 1987), 128.) Carver used uncommon materials and foraged natural dyestuffs in his work, drawing on his childhood love of painting. He designed projects not only to express his own creativity but also to inspire poor tenant farmers and sharecroppers who wanted to improve their homes. Gregory describes a handsewn table mat fashioned from cotton stalks and botanically dyed, a treasured example of a man who saw value where others did not.

Excited to share this classic episode from the archives with one of the great short storytellers of our time, Ted Chiang. This conversation happened in 2019 at the studios of KBOO community radio in Portland, Oregon. Blake Crouch speaking of Exhalation, the book we discuss today, says “Ted Chiang has no contemporary peers when it comes to the short story form. His name deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Carver, Poe, Borges, and Kafka. Every story is a universe. Every story is a diamond. You will inhale Exhalation in a single, stunned sitting, because true genius doesn't come along nearly as often as advertised. This is the real thing.” For the bonus audio archive Ted contributed a reading of his essay “Silicon Valley Is Turning into its Own Worst Fear,” first published at Buzzfeed, an essay exploring the reasons why Silicon Valley might particularly fear superintelligent A.I. and how credible those fears really are. This joins contributions from everyone from N.K. Jemisin to Daniel Jose Older to Vajra Chandrasekera.

In 1881, African American educator and political leader Booker T. Washington founded Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama. The school's mission was to provide practical education and vocational training in fields such as agriculture and mechanics to African Americans in the post-Reconstruction South. Tuskegee ultimately became a world-renowned agricultural and industrial school for African Americans – and actually for all people. Today, we're speaking with Duke University's Jarvis McInnis about his award-winning book Afterlives of the Plantation: Plotting Agrarian Futures in the Global Black South. Interview Transcript Jarvis, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this book. And hopefully we'll make a link to the Franklin Humanities gathering (https://youtu.be/rfSy1lWWOwA?si=dVcWH3xDBuBStEEc) that we had for your book launch. As I said at that time, and I'll say it right now, this book resonated with me so deeply because of my rural upbringing. My experience as a son, a grandson of farmers and agricultural workers. And someone who grew up in the 4-H Club down South. Hopefully we will get to some of those topics as we go through. So, let's start off with a real basic idea. Could you give our readers an overview of what the book is? And also, about what you mean by the Afterlives of the Plantation. Yes, absolutely. Thank you so much for that question, Norbert. The book is an effort to think about the cultural and intellectual and political ties between Southern African Americans and Afro-Caribbean people in the late 19th to early 20th Century as they were responding to the legacies of slavery, right? This is the period after emancipation, and across the hemisphere. And so, I'm really interested in the way that they are sharing ideas as they are confronting the new modes of racial oppression that emerged in slavery's aftermath. In the United States, you have Jim Crow, right? Segregation, and other forms of violence and dispossession like lynching and land dispossession and so forth and so on. And then in the Caribbean, in Latin America, you have institutions like the European colonialism, and US imperialism, right? And so that is the afterlife of slavery. They're emancipated, but it's not a period of full citizenship, right? Of full access to the rights and privileges of citizenship. And so in telling that story, I center Booker T. Washington's school, the Tuskegee Institute, which was founded on the site of an abandoned and burned cotton plantation in Alabama in 1881. And this is getting at the second part of your question. I became really fascinated by what it meant to establish a school, to establish a future-oriented institution, that's committed to uplifting Black people. To establish that on the site, on the ruins of a burned plantation. And, in some ways, I became curious about that as an undergraduate student because I'm a graduate of Tougaloo College, in Tougaloo, Mississippi, which is a historically black college much like Tuskegee. And much like Tuskegee, Tougaloo was also founded on the site of a former cotton plantation. And I saw that this idea, or this practice, this logic of transforming these sites of violence into something that is more liberatory and more emancipatory was really a strategy that Black people used throughout the US South and throughout the Caribbean. Throughout much of the Americas where slavery and the plantation had existed. I placed Tuskegee, and particularly its approach to agriculture, at the center of that story to demonstrate how an institution rooted in the US South is not backward. It's not pre-modern. That's firmly rural, but that rurality... they're taking the knowledge that's cultivated there and disseminating it to other Black people in other parts of the world to aid in their struggles toward freedom and citizenship. I think this is an important point to make. And I know we've had conversations about this as you were developing the book. And I'll just say again, out of my rural Southern agricultural background, I often found a sense that people thought, oh, well you must be backward. Oh, you must come from this... and that's not a good thing. I can only imagine that people of this time must have thought, well, shouldn't people want to move away from agriculture? Why would you want to be invested in this thing that was a part of former enslavement? How do you think about this in light of this notion of agrarian futures? You would think people would want to move away from that. What is your understanding of sort of this move towards agriculture and seeing this as something for the future and even modern. That's such a great question. And I, you know, I have to say that I came to agriculture relatively late in the project. I was initially most interested in what Tuskegee was doing with Black aesthetics: with photography and with music and with literature. I'm a literary scholar after all. But as I sat with Tuskegee's aesthetic output, I realized the significance of agriculture within that. And as I began to explore the ways that Tuskegee was being disseminated to other parts of the Black world, to places like Haiti, to places like Puerto Rico. And as they were admitting students from those particular colonies at that time. Now some of them are countries; Puerto Rico is still a territory. But I realized that what other Black people, both in the US South and abroad, were interested in was its agrarian vision. Was the work, the research that someone like George Washington Carver was doing at Tuskegee and as a mode of self-help. And so I really had to wrestle with that because it was outside of how I had conceived of agriculture. And in many ways, writing this book transformed my own understanding of what the modern was. And, you know, forced me to, or perhaps invited me, to think about agriculture to understand it as intellectual. To understand it certainly as a skill, in all of these ways that I had not really given much thought to it previously. But as I sat with George Washington Carver's bulletins. As I sat with Tuskegee's extension initiatives. As I sat with the knowledge that they were producing, the various print cultural artifacts, the newspapers. And again, the agricultural bulletins and so forth and so on. I realized, wait a minute. This is a site of knowledge production, and its modern up-to-date knowledge production that actually still has a lot of sound basis that can be used in contemporary agriculture to this very day. And so, it radically transformed my understanding of Tuskegee, of a figure like Booker T. Washington. who as we know, is a much-maligned figure in Black studies and American studies because of his conservative politics. But agriculture gave me another way into that institution and to think about, again, the significance of the cultural and intellectual contributions of the US South at this particular period. Thank you for that. I want to talk about a particular section of the text that has to do with both the agricultural philosophy, but also this idea of sharing information, and you've made some reference to it. So, I grew up, as I mentioned, going and being a part of the 4-H program, which was a part of the Cooperative Extension System. And Tuskegee, in many ways, helped form and helped inform what extension would look like. Which ultimately became a thing, federally, in 1914. But I want to read this one passage from your text, and you say: "In 1897, the state of Alabama passed legislation allocating $1,500 to establish an agricultural experiment station on campus. The station also known as the Experiment Plot." And plot is something you come back to. And I would love to hear your thoughts about this garden plot and the Experiment Plot and just the metaphor of plot throughout your text. "But the station also known as the Experiment Plot, was managed by George Washington Carver. Washington insisted that the experiment station ' should not be used for scientific experiments of interest only to experts. Should deal with the fundamental problems with which the Negro Farmers of Alabama were daily confronted.' The results of Carver's experiments were thus published in bulletins that were then distributed among farmers throughout Alabama and the broader US South." And then you go on and talking about the different courses that were made available. But I wanna get this one quote from the Tuskegee student. And you said the Tuskegee student observed: 'Tuskegee Institute is primarily a school for the masses of our people. Both old and young and in all degrees of development.' I mean, Tuskegee was doing something that other land grant institutions would eventually take on, is this idea of sharing knowledge and using this. As a means of uplift and I would say even citizen building. What are your thoughts about that sort of perspective? Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to try to wrap all of those questions up into one response. We'll see how successful I am. I know I gave you a lot. Well, one of the things that I wanted to say, that I did not get a chance to say in my response to your previous question is that, you know, the majority of African Americans lived in the South in this particular period. And many of them viewed agriculture as a viable future. And that was one of the aspects of, you know, doing research on this book that was transformative for me. Was understanding that they did not hold this same necessarily, sort of, denigrating attitudes toward agriculture. In part because the United States was largely agricultural writ large, right? [00:11:00] And so it was across the country, across the color line, was regarded as a viable pathway. But it is the case that Booker T. Washington was attempting to rebrand agriculture, to re-signify it. Because there were a number of African Americans who did not want to have anything to do with it because it reminded them of the degradation of slavery. And so, what Washington said was he said, hey, you know, that there's a distinction between working and being worked, right? Being worked means degradation. Working for oneself, right? Being independent is a mode of civilization, is what he argued. And so what I argue in the book is that Washington is attempting to resignify labor, to make it something that is regarded as self-proprietorial, right? And that is a necessary tool in not just labor but agricultural labor in particular. But we can add, I would say, industrial labor also as something that is self-proprietorial and that is a part of that citizenship making project. So, I wanted to be sure to home in on that aspect of your previous question. And then I think the way into this next question is to talk a little bit about the plot. The slave garden plot. So, this idea in the book, right? The subtitle is Plotting Agrarian Futures. And there are multiple residences of the plot throughout the book. But the easiest way to, sort of, describe it is that it is an elaboration on the slave garden plot. The patches of land that enslaved people could cultivate throughout the Americas to grow foods to nourish themselves, because the rations that were provided from the plantation owners, those rations were too meager, right? A number of scholars and theorists across disciplines have theorized that the slave garden plot was a site of resistance to the plantation system. In part because it is enabling them to survive, to live, to nourish their bodies, right? But also because of what they did on the plot, right? Not only growing food, but also perhaps growing flowers. There's one scholar who regards it as the botanical gardens of the dispossessed, right? And so this idea that on these garden plots where they could cultivate food for themselves, their time was their own. They weren't growing food for sale on the global market, necessarily, or other cash crops for sale in the global market. They were growing foods that perhaps have been a part of their diets in Africa. And in addition to that, they were engaging in communal practices, singing, dancing, and sometimes perhaps even plotting revolutions, right? Another valence of the plot. And so, a scholar like Sylvia Winter establishes a kind of dichotomy between the plot and the plantation under enslavement. And when I realized that Tuskegeeans were also trying to encourage Black folks to grow food, and in doing so helping them to circumvent the predatory practices of sharecropping, of tenant farming, that would have those sharecroppers and tenant farmers to buy their foods from the local commissary and to remain in cycles of debt. And that of course, that they had an experiment station that they called an Experiment Plot. I thought, okay, this is the post emancipation iteration of the slave garden plot. It stands as a counterpoint to the plantation system, and it is imbued with these logics and ethics of care. And one of those logics and ethics of care is the dissemination of knowledge, right? Ensuring that rural Black farmers who were perhaps too old to attend Tuskegee, or could not afford to do so, that they could come to campus and learn the most up-to-date agricultural knowledge, right? And for those who couldn't come to campus, to attend the Tuskegee Farmers Conference, they would take the Jessup Agricultural Wagon into the countryside and teach them about crop rotation. Teach them about how to grow certain food crops, right? Teach them about how to grow certain plants to beautify their homes and so forth and so on. And so I think about that dissemination of knowledge, right? Whether it's those farmers coming to campus or Tuskegee taking those ideas into the countryside, as an ethic of care that is connected to the way that the plot exists as a counter to the plantation. Yeah. Wow, this is really wonderful. I love how you're able to weave in this agricultural philosophy that had deep resonance with people of the rural American South. But you also saw this as something that moved beyond the borders of the American South, and thus in your subtitle, the Global Black South. How did Tuskegee get involved in this transnational sharing of knowledge, and working in the Caribbean, and particularly, Puerto Rico, Haiti? Tell us a little bit more about that experience. Absolutely. Absolutely. Tuskegee really began to recruit students from the broader diaspora in the latter part of the 19th Century. So, around 1897. Certainly, the Caribbean, certainly Cuba and Puerto Rico, following the Spanish American War. And Booker T. Washington sent a Tuskegee student who was actually fluent in Spanish into Florida, and then later on to Havana, to recruit students to Tuskegee. He understood, he believed, that because they were experiencing conditions that were very similar to African Americans, they too were responding to the afterlife of slavery in the plantation. Given that emancipation in Cuba and Puerto Rico, in particular had just occurred in the late 1880s, he believed that their conditions were very similar to those of African Americans and that they could benefit from agricultural and industrial education as well. And there was a reformer by the name of Grace Mins. She was based in Boston. And she ensured that Booker T. Washington's autobiography, Up From Slavery, was translated into Cuban Spanish. And then that autobiography was then disseminated. A thousand copies were disseminated throughout the island of Cuba. And so as a result of that, he inspired, or the model of self-help that Washington depicted in Up From Slavery, inspired a host of Afro-Cuban readers. Students and parents and government officials and educational officials then begin to write to Tuskegee, write to Washington, wanting entry into the school. It's also translated into French, right? And so, you have French readers, particularly in a place like Haiti coming to Tuskegee. Someone by the name of the Jean Price Mars, who was the foremost Haitian intellectual of the 20th Century, actually met Washington in France when Washington was traveling there on vacation and became inspired by that model. A year later, he comes to the United States to attend the 1904 World's Fair and then spends two weeks at Tuskegee, learning those ideas and wanting to take them back to Haiti. So, through translation, right? Into different languages, those ideas then circulate throughout the Black world, but also through efforts to actively recruit students from those other places that Washington understood as experiencing a similar condition as African Americans. People whom he understood could benefit, he believed, could benefit from agricultural and industrial education. Great. And one of the things I loved in the way you talked about this in the text is you talked about not only translation but transplantation. And I thought that was an interesting turn of phrase because of what you were trying to communicate through that term. I want to, sort of, bring us up to some things that are currently happening. We just had a conference and you were a participant on a panel on humanistic issues around addressing food waste. And I've got to say, this was one of the panels that people really leaned into, that were really caught up by it. And you made some really insightful interventions based on some of the work that you've done in your book. So, you spoke about the anti-waste ethos at Tuskegee and I really found that interesting. Could you speak to that for a moment? Absolutely. Well, first I want to say thank you again for the opportunity to participate in that symposium. I really enjoyed it, and it really gave me an opportunity to think about various dimensions of a kind of anti-waste ethos at Tuskegee. And I think that there are a couple of different ways in which it manifested at the institution. So first there's a kind of metaphorical dimension to waste at Tuskegee. When Booker T. Washington writes to George Washington Carver to hire him, to recruit him to the institution. He said, I can't pay you a lot of money, but we have been tasked with helping to transform formerly enslaved people from conditions of waste to full manhood. Right? And so there is that sort of metaphorical, or what I would argue in the book is a kind of ontological understanding of waste, given the degraded status of the enslaved. And then there's a kind of philosophical dimension to waste as well. One, so Washington, Tuskegee, they are informed by the progressive era, right? It's a progressive era institution that's guided by a commitment to thrift and economy. And so, they're very much interested in a kind of practical attitude toward not being wasteful, right? To being thrifty with money, but also with resources. And what we see is, you know, complaints about food waste in the dining hall at Tuskegee, right? A very practical issue for a poor rural institution wherein the students are growing the food, right? Wherein the students are making the bricks, right? Are helping to transform this plantation into a school. We can't afford to waste food, right? But they're also teaching students and Black folks in the countryside how to preserve fruits and vegetables. There are these photographs of them teaching folks how to can and preserve fruits and veggies, right? To ensure that they have food throughout the winter months, so that they are not stricken by hunger and poverty and starvation. So that they aren't forced to borrow additional money from the plantation owners if they are indeed in sharecropping and tenant farming arrangements. And so, the last aspect I suppose of waste at Tuskegee that I want to highlight here is a kind of ecological one. Where in George Washington Carver is calling on farmers to take advantage of the quote unquote waste that is on their farms, right? The cow manure, right? To regenerate the soil. The swamp muck, right? The dead leaves, the night soil; to use that waste to regenerate the soil, to replenish it, right? In addition to practices of crop rotation and so forth and so on. And so that ecological dimension of waste is really important for understanding Tuskegee's ecological vision. I think this is so important because conversations around regenerative agriculture, and going back to, sort of, broader notions of traditional farming practices, minimizing the use of chemicals, people were talking about this. Folks like Carver were trying to find ways of using very little resources to help support the growers that he worked with. And we're hearing these echoes again and again. I'm so grateful that you illuminated that throughout your text. Thank you. I am not the only one who seems to have appreciated that because you won the 2026 Association for the study of African American Life and History Book Prize and the 2025 On the Brink book Award from the University of New Mexico School of Architecture and Planning. Why do you think this narrative of agricultural liberation is resonating with people so strongly? You know, first of all, Norbert, I just have to say how honored I am that the book has received these recognitions. And that it's finding its audiences. Audiences that I couldn't have imagined. Imagine my seeing my face when I opened the email to see that it had been acknowledged by both of these institutions. But especially the architecture and planning. I thought, oh my goodness. I, could not have, I could not have imagined this. So, I just want to say that I'm grateful first and foremost. You know, as I've been talking to people, you know, and as I've been moving around and talking to readers at my book tour, or people have been writing to me via email, what I've found is that the historians really appreciate the archival richness, and robustness of the text, right? So, the historians, the literary scholars, they really appreciate that aspect of the book. Many people, I think, also really appreciate the fact that it is giving us a new way to think about Tuskegee and Booker T. Washington. A place and a person who we thought we knew, right? And not in a flat way; a way that holds the complexity of that institution in place. And throughout the text, I really try to wrestle with the critiques, the valid and legitimate critiques that are coming from people like Ida B. Wells Barnett, and WEB Du Bois, about the limits of Booker T. Washington's political philosophy. But at the same time, I say, but if we don't acknowledge what they were doing through agriculture and by extension through aesthetics, then we're missing a really important part of this story, right? And I think that the book is giving us a model for thinking about how to engage in criticism that is both generative and productive, I suppose, right? Like how do we hold them to a particular standard where we say, you know, here are the limits of your political vision, but at the same time, this is what you enabled, right? And that's what the text is trying to do. And I think, you know, others have shared that they appreciate that it honors the intelligence and sophistication and dignity of Black rural people, of Black Southerners, who in my opinion, are often written out of Black studies in a way that is substantive. In a way that honors their contributions, especially in this period. The South is a space that people are simply fleeing from because of Jim Crow. And I'm saying, wait, what about the people who remain rooted in the land, on the land, either in the US South or in other sort of rural places throughout the diaspora. And then finally, I think that the book seems to be connecting to people who really care about our world. Who really care about the state of environmental degradation that we have found ourselves in as a result of institutions like the plantation, of monocrop agriculture, of industrialization in the way that it abuses, and misuses the earth. And so, because the book is invested in thinking about regeneration and repair, and about more sustainable methods from the past that can be useful for our present. I think that it seems to be connecting with readers who are interested in issues like climate change and environmental catastrophe. So that's what I suspect, based on some of the feedback that I have received. But I just want to reiterate just how grateful I am that it is finding its audience. BIO Jarvis C.

Men's Basketball vs Michigan State Starts at 0:51 Michigan is the best team in the Big Ten since the 1977 Indiana team. You can't say they didn't earn it, they had to win at Breslin, Carver, and Illinois. They would still win the Big Ten outright if you only counted the games that Michigan won by double digits. It was Yaxel's deep shooting that propelled Michigan when they weren't shooting well. Michigan felt mortal with Tschetter at the four but MSU didn't exactly take advantage of that time. There were a lot of 1-on-1 opportunities, Michigan only had 12 assists. 1.27 PPP is crazy against Michigan State. Where does Yaxel Lendeborg rank all time amongst all Michigan players? They had a reel prepared for when Fears would kick someone in the jingle jangles, and it did happen. Credit Dusty for keeping the team calm when things start to go wrong. How is Fears allowed to keep playing the way he does? Congrats to Nebraska for getting the #2 seed.  2. Men's Basketball vs Iowa Starts at 32:06 A very slow game and a very annoying win. Their thing is fouling you constantly and hoping the refs don't call it. They fired Fran and we hate Iowa basketball now. Michigan finally gets some calls in the second half and turns the ball over a lot. Bennett Stirtz's 4-14 from three feels optimistic for him given the shot quality. There was a "sink or swim" moment when Cadeau had to sit out and it wasn't great. Cadeau played 30 minutes but in an important tournament setting he'll probably play more than that. Roddy Gayle has some at-the-rim difficulties that have lasted most of the conference season. Fran McCaffery was a beautiful Big Ten coach and now he's in the Ivy League. 3. Hot Takes and Spring Ball - Offense Starts at 54:05 How excited is everyone for this spring practice? What will Bryce's role as a runner be? JJ didn't run much but in the championship season there were only 4-5 games where he would have needed to. Maybe Bryce looks a little better throwing downfield now that he has actual receivers. JJ Buchanan might have a Colston Loveland level catch radius. There was a moment of silence for Max Bredeson but we truncate silence on this podcast so you didn't hear it. What's the tight end depth going to look like? Evan Link to guard? We're expecting a big third year swing for Blake Frazier.  4. Spring Ball - Defense Starts at 1:22:09 Any sort of news about John Henry Daley being able to play would be high on the list. And Rod Moore. Also hoping to hear good things about Palepale and Cam Brandt. The North Dakota State linebacker (Nathaniel Staehling) transfer could be really good, he was a captain and these scenarios often work out nicely. Ideally he's the 3rd linebacker because that means some other guys popped off. How much much better will everyone look with better coaching? Unfortunately we won't be able to see if rotation on defense gets better in the Spring Game. Could Shamari Earls overtake Jyaire Hill? New kickers but kicking in April seems different than in the Fall. Looking forward to punting drills. Taylor Tatum for punt return?    MUSIC: "Any Major Dude"—Steely Dan "Believe"—My Morning Jacket "Broken Chair"—Luna “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/4tQ4xaA Trevor Cummings hosts the Thoughts of Money Podcast with article author Blaine Carver and Brett Bonecutter, discussing Carver's piece “Stock Market Expectations.” Using examples from relationships, premarital counseling, and sports fandom, they emphasize that expectations must be communicated early, clearly, and realistically to avoid disappointment, resentment, and poor decisions. They connect this to investing by explaining how stocks can fall even on good results when expectations are “priced to perfection,” why unrealistic return targets (e.g., 20–25% annually) break financial plans, and how compounding magnifies small percentage differences. 00:00 Welcome to the Thoughts on Money Podcast + Introducing Blaine & Brett 00:21 Under-Promise, Over-Deliver: Why Expectations Drive Everything 00:59 Vikings Season Story: Rock-Bottom Expectations → “Best” Year 02:05 From Football to Finance: Priced to Perfection & Pleasant Surprises 04:34 Expectations in Marriage (and Advisor-Client Relationships) 06:55 Unrealistic Return Targets: The 20% Conversation & Compounding Reality Check 10:39 Long-Run vs One-Year Thinking: Annual vs Annualized + Attribution 12:11 Strategy Whiplash: 2025 vs 2026 Reversal & Staying the Course 14:35 The Expectations Gap: Investors Want 12.6%, Advisors Model 7.1% 17:27 Why the Gap Exists: Valuations, History, and Risk Accountability (Bitcoin Example) 20:19 The “Road” Matters: Normal Drawdowns, Slow Recoveries, and the Bumpy Path 26:17 Coping Tools: Dividends, Business Fundamentals, and the 14% Intra-Year Drawdown 29:52 Optimists vs Pessimists: Experience, Confirmation Bias, and Fear of Running Out 37:37 Closing Reflections: Gratitude vs Grumbling + Final Thoughts & How to Reach Us Links mentioned in this episode: http://thoughtsonmoney.com http://thebahnsengroup.com

In this RTB and Novel Dialogue episode from 2021, Helen Garner sits down with John and Elizabeth McMahon, a distinguished scholar of Australian literature. Helen's novels range from the anti-patriarchy exuberance of Monkey Grip (1977) to the heartbreaking mortality at the heart of The Spare Room (2008). She has also authored a slew of nonfiction, plus screenplays for Jane Campion's Two Friends and Gillian Armstrong's wonderfully Garneresque The Last Days of Chez Nous. After a reading from John's favorite, The Children's Bach, the trio discusses Garner's capacity for cutting and cutting, creating resonant, thought-inducing gaps. Garner connects that taste for excision, perhaps paradoxically, to her tendency to accumulate scraps, bits and pieces of life. She relates her father's restlessness to her own life-total of houses inhabited (27). “Why wouldn't I write about households?” asks Helen, “They're just so endlessly interesting.” Who shaped her writing? Raymond Carver: packed with power, but the pages white with omissions and excisions. Helen offers an anecdote about her own pruning that ends with her “ankle-deep in adverbs.” That's how to escape the “fat writing” that stems for distrust of the reader. She thoughtfully compares the practical virtues of keeping notebooks for the “music” of everyday life to the nightly process of diary-writing (more analytical). John raises the question of pervasive musical metaphors in Helen's writing, and she reports her passion for “boring pieces” and the “formal” side of Bach, which makes a listener feel that there is such a thing as meaning. “There's something about shaping a sentence, too, which can be musical.” Mentioned in the Episode Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping (the fixed people and the wandering people), Gilead, Home, The West Wing (yes, the TV show!

Recorded at the 2025 American Exploration and Mining Association Annual Meeting, this Mining Minds episode features Walsh Reclamation Operations Manager Troy Hawkins. Troy shares his background as a ninth-generation miner and reflects on how his father—a self-described "tramp miner"—was his hero and shaped his values around respect, hard work, and character over credentials. He discusses growing up in a small mining town, leaving school early, and entering the mining industry alongside his family. Troy reflects on his 23-year career at one operation, where he began as a haul truck driver and advanced through multiple operational and leadership roles. Once a rebellious young operator, he evolved into a people-focused leader who prioritizes morale, respect, and personal connection—building high-performing crews through trust and genuine care. Please help us welcome Troy Hawkins to The Face. We would like to thank the American Exploration and Mining Association (AEMA) for hosting Mining Minds at the event and for their ongoing dedication to advancing and amplifying voices throughout the mining industry.   Episode Sponsors:  American Exploration and Mining Safety First Training and Consulting JSR Fleet Performance Motor Mission Machine and Radiator    Episode Chapters:  05:05 Feral Mining-Town Childhood & How Kids Are Different Now 12:18 School Struggles, Sports Dreams, and Learning Outside the Classroom 33:34 "Your long hair will never make you successful" — proving them wrong 39:14 When leadership gets personal 47:22 How he builds trust 55:40 Hiring without the script: real interviews, real people 01:01:27 Marriage & support system 01:12:04 First Date at Carver's 01:16:20 Stepping into Walsh 01:22:54 Scaling Up with Trust 01:24:18 Why People Take a Pay Cut to Work for Good Leaders 01:33:10 Pucker Factor Stories

Three young boys are killed by a car bomb, their mother Doreen and older brother in the front seat are the only survivors. Detectives Goren and Eames learn Paul Whitlock developed a new kind of land mine and his wife had spotted some threatening-looking Middle Eastern men before the blast.  But there are indications the pipe bomb was built in their garage and someone swept it up. Bobby and Alex suspect the depressed Doreen blew up the car in a murder/suicide attempt.ADA Ron Carver insists the overbearing husband is their best suspect. The detectives find a space heater Doreen tampered with to leak carbon monoxide. The overwhelmed mother confesses she wanted to take the children to heaven with her, where she could be a better parent. But Goren and Eames discover the cold-blooded Whitlock knew Doreen wanted to die and was fine if she did - he just didn't know the children would get hurt. Enraged at his cruelty, the detectives insist Carver hold him legally responsible, but he says there's no crime in not stopping your wife from killing herself and her family.We're talking about Law & Order: Criminal Intent season 4 episode 7 “Magnificat.” Our returning guest is Katie from the A Date with Dateline podcast.Plot points in this episode are inspired by the 2001 case of Andrea Yates.
