In this episode we talk with Katy Bowser Hutson and her recent book Now I Lay Me Down to Fight: A Poet Writes Her Way Through Cancer. She talks about her jouney through her fight with breast cancer. Through poetry and prose with a realness of someone who has literally been ravaged by cancer, but somehow was, and now is, able to fight through, even it was laying down.  Katy Bowser Hutson is a writer and songwriter. She is the author of Now I Lay Me Down to Fight (IVP) and the coauthor of Little Prayers for Ordinary Day (IVP Kids). She's also a contributing to projects like It Was Good: Making Music to the Glory of God and Wild Things and Castles in the Sky (Square Halo Press). Katy is a creator/member of the children's band Rain for Roots. She is co-creator of kid's jazz outfit Coal Train Railroad. She's also a founding member of Rain for Roots. Katy and her husband, musician and producer Kenny Hutson, have also created a musical project or two along the way, as well as contributing to various and sundry other musical endeavors. Because it's Nashville. Katy also speaks at conferences and event and consults on endeavors in faith and art. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband Kenny, their two children, and some chickens, where she has built a rather wonky but serviceable labyrinth in her backyard and hosts many deer and fireflies.

"Perhaps my vision has been somewhat romantic but who out there has not been lured by an Arcadia unlike our own? It seems it has been a thing for centuries..." - Michelle Johnston, SubstackWelcome to Episode #121:Today I share a podcast I made last month while contemplating the after glow of being in Italy and sharing new adventures writing on Substack - At My Table. I read an excerpt  from Two Castles in Italy, that weaves together Italian moments and books I have enjoyed and the life moments that have happened along the way. Italy continues to be a creative catalyst, opening new doors and perspectives. There is much inspiration from the journey of podcasting, and the travel and writing adventures in Italy."Life is good when you travel and experience the beauty you seek"  Substack - At My TableA Writer in Italy InstagramMichelle's BooksShownotes at MichelleJohnston.life© 2025  A Writer In Italy - travel, books, art and lifeMusic Composed by Richard Johnston © 2025Today's end music - 'Chances'Richard's Music is available on Spotify and Apple Music - Album 4240Support the show

She was most notable for her series of novels featuring the Scarlet Pimpernel.Castles in the Air, a short novel or perhaps more like a collection of short stories with memories of a French rogue in the early 19th century Paris, was published in 1921 and about it I quote from the foreword: "In very truth my good friend Ratichon is an unblushing liar, thief, a forger--anything you will; his vanity is past belief, his scruples are non-existent. How he escaped a convict settlement it is difficult to imagine, and hard to realize that he died--presumably some years after the event recorded in the last chapter of his autobiography--a respected member of the community, honoured by that same society which should have raised a punitive hand against him."

Season 08 Episode 12: Jumping Castles Part TwoWARNING: This episode includes discussion about fatal events impacting children and families – we advise listener discretion.The WhyWork Podcast Team, Alan, Trajce, and Sara, discuss the complexities of a prosecutorial strategy when fatal events occur at a school: children who die as a result of a windstorm and out-of-control, airborne jumping castle. Those involved in the work design include a jumping castle supplier, the workplace host, a school, and an overseas manufacturer.Alan shares his grief in retelling this tale and pays his respect to the families and all involved. Trajce delves into the legal concerns, “There are concurrent, non-delegable duties,” he says, “with distinct but interconnected duties and responsibilities from the design, manufacturer, supplier, and distributor.” Sara adds a human factors perspective on the integration of technology and plant in work system – the readiness levels for technology, commercialisation, humans, and organisations. She recognises the commercial realities opposing the principles of prosecution. Alan laments the challenges of recognising recreational events as serious workplace with plant and work systems that must be management well to support health and safety.Listen to Season 04 Episode 11: The Things we Do For Fun, for more on this story.

Happy September cryptic cuties, hope you are enjoying the last of the warm weather before we dive straight into fall and pumpkin spice everything. This week we investigated a few more cults we wanted to share with you all, we hope you find cults as fascinating as we do. Kelsey creeps Alanna out by telling her about a group that hit a little too close to home. The College of Integrated Philosophy may seem harmless on the surface, but they have had their fair share of controversy and court cases over their decades long history. Alanna shares updates on a cult we first discussed over on our patreon after watching Escaping The Twin Flames Universe, leaders Jeff and Shaleia Divine were recently interviewed about their beliefs, and it has everyone talking about them once again. Happy listening!Darkcast spotlight is The Bell Witch Podcast

Cyprus' landscape is dotted with castles -- most famously by those nestled on the Kyrenia mountain range -- many which predate the Lusignan Period. First built by the Byzantines to protect Cyprus' northern coast, these castles would become fortified and expanded by the Franks. But Western sources circa twelfth and thirteenth centuries speak of castles throughout the main cities including "castrum Famagustam," "castellum quod dicitur Baffes" and "castellum quoddam firmissimum" in Nicosia. Were there castles there too?  And for that matter, why were they later abandoned? Today my guest is renowned castellologist, Dr. James Petre, whose definitive work "Crusader Castles of Cyprus" frames the bulk of this episode.

My dear, the walls around us are never as silent as they seem. Beneath the earth, behind locked doors, even within painted frames—there are whispers waiting to be heard, and horrors waiting to be seen.Tonight, we descend into five tales where stone, sea, and shadow conceal unspeakable truths… and where murder leaves its mark in the most unexpected places.

But beyond the romantic facade - the magnificent architecture and breathtaking scenery - lies a complex and at times troubled past that continues to echo down through the centuries.Joining Geoff and Rory on this week's episode is architectural historian, writer and proud Highlander - Mary Miers - who authored a book on 'Highland Retreats' and who is unafraid of tackling the storied past of Scotland's shooting lodges head-on whilst simultaneously celebrating their many delights.

Our primary source this month comes from the 12th century English chronicler, Roger of Hoveden (Howden). This excerpt was chosen as it references a number of castles that dotted the Cypriot landscape during Richard the Lionheart's campaign. You'll hear him refer to Buffavent (Buffavento), Kantara, Dieu D'Amour (a possible corruption of the Greek name, Didymus -- now St. Hilarion) and an unknown castle in Nicosia called Cherin. Its significance is that the castles predate Richard's conquest (i.e., they are Byzantine structures) and serves as a nice segue into my interview next month with Dr. James Petre on the Castles of Cyprus!

Bards of the Board is back with a deep dive into one of the most beloved eurogames of all time — Castles of Burgundy!

We'll share our favorite strategies, talk about how it plays across different player counts, and debate whether the latest editions improve on the original.Whether you're new to Castles of Burgundy or have played it hundreds of times, you'll find fresh insights, honest opinions, and maybe even a few bard-worthy tangents along the way.

They're in the books we read, the shows we watch, and the art we hang on our walls. They conjure notions of might, magic, romance, and more. Castles, perhaps as much as any other architectural structure in history, define the landscape of our fantasy and imagination. But is our imagination an accurate lens through which to view these fortresses of ol'? And why, after hundreds of years, does our culture's fascination with these structures seem to be on the rise? This hour, we speak with experts and enthusiasts about the reality and mystique of castles. GUESTS: Marc Morris: Medieval historian and author of books including Castles: Their History and Evolution in Medieval Britain Victor Lodato: Playwright, poet, and novelist whose books include Edgar and Lucy Edward Town: Assistant Curator of Paintings and Sculpture at the Yale Center for British Art Brent Bruns II: - Star of the hit National Geographic reality TV show "Doomsday Castle" The Colin McEnroe Show is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, TuneIn, Listen Notes, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Together, they dive into how volunteering, mentoring, and simply asking someone to step up can change everything—at work, in community, and beyond.Whether you're a flower pro, a traveler at heart, or someone who believes in learning from every experience—this episode reminds you how powerful it is to stay curious, stay connected, and say yes to new opportunities.Sponsored by: Flower CliqueFlower Clique Prep SchoolReal Life Retail Florist
