Brad Marchand reached 1,000 points Thursday night, and he did it in a Florida Panthers uniform. Is Sara Civian prepared for him to go into the Hall of Fame as a Cat? The guys ask her about that, as well as the conflicting feelings of watching Joel Quennville having success with the Anaheim Ducks, the Edmonton Oilers' weird start to the year, and the hockey fashion at the upcoming 2026 Milan Olympics. Before that, the guys discuss this year's Hockey Hall of Fame class, Ryan O'Reilly's intensely critical comments of himself, and the unfortunate passing of legendary New York Rangers beat reporter, Larry Brooks. In wins and fails, David introduces us to Rink Dude, Roy celebrates Artemi Panarin's haircut, and Ethan celebrates Brad Marchand's career milestone that he was in attendance for. Finally, the boys step into the Panthers Den, where things have turned around recently after back-to-back wins for the Cats and wins in four of their last seven. Learn more about your ad choices.

Men and women run differently—and let's face it, we usually get them more than they get us. In this repeat episode we chat about whether an older woman and a younger man actually make the perfect pair? When you mix her experience with his fresh perspective, wisdom with curiosity, something sparks. A young guy who's still learning isn't insecure—he's open, adaptable, and maybe that's exactly where the magic lives.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for November 12th Publish Date: November 12th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, November 12th and Happy Birthday to Al Michaels I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb, Marietta teaching excellence pays off — in horsepower Nathan Deal calls for civility, bipartisanship GMDT’s The Nutcracker will be Thanksgiving weekend All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 7 STORY 1: Cobb, Marietta teaching excellence pays off — in horsepower This week, two of Cobb County’s best teachers got the surprise of a lifetime—a brand-new car to drive for a year. In a tradition that never gets old, the Cobb Chamber, with help from Voyles Automotive Group, handed out free one-year car leases at their monthly luncheon. Hailey Howdyshell, a first-grade teacher at Hickory Hill Elementary, drove off in a sleek Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid, while Amanda Dillard, a special ed teacher at Pope High, snagged a Kia Telluride. Other honorees? Caleb Garrett (Compton Elementary) got a Honda Passport, and Lakeisha Gray (Betty Gray Middle) scored a Jeep Wrangler. Teachers, you deserve it. STORY 2: Nathan Deal calls for civility, bipartisanship Former Gov. Nathan Deal didn’t hold back this week when he spoke to the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, urging lawmakers to ditch the shouting matches and rediscover bipartisanship. In a candid chat with Superior Plumbing CEO Jay Cunningham, Deal reflected on how politics has changed—and not for the better. “It used to be you had to prove you could govern,” he said. “Now, it’s just about who yells the loudest and raises the most money.” Deal, who led Georgia from 2011 to 2019, highlighted his bipartisan work on criminal justice reform, calling it “the right thing,” not a political win. Before wrapping up, Deal shared a personal project: his children’s book, Veto the Governor’s Cat, inspired by his late wife, Sandra. “Kids listen to animals more than adults sometimes,” he joked. The book teaches lessons on courage, patience, and embracing differences. Cunningham called Deal “a man of humility and integrity,” thanking him for his service to Georgia. STORY 3: GMDT’s The Nutcracker will be Thanksgiving weekend The Georgia Metropolitan Dance Theatre is bringing the magic of The Nutcracker back to Marietta this holiday season, with performances Nov. 28-30 at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre. Picture this: the Stahlbaum family’s festive party, a mysterious magician stirring up chaos, toy soldiers battling giant mice, and a journey through a snowy forest to the dazzling Kingdom of Sweets. It’s everything you love about the holidays, wrapped in one enchanting ballet. This year’s cast features dancers as young as seven alongside high school seniors, plus guest artists Alex Gonzaga, Raul Peinado, and D Patton White. Tickets start at $25—grab yours at georgiametrodance.org! We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: STRAND THEATRE STORY 4: Smyrna man accused of DUI after crash leaves driver seriously injured Eriberto Cante, 25, of Smyrna, is facing serious charges after a crash on Oct. 12 at the intersection of Church Street and N. Marietta Parkway. Police say Cante, driving a blue 2003 Toyota Rav4, ran a red light and was hit on the passenger side by another car with the right of way. The collision, caught on Cobb County’s Real Time Crime Center cameras, left a man unconscious with a brain bleed and fractured ribs. Officers reported smelling alcohol on Cante, who admitted to drinking five Modelo beers earlier. His blood alcohol level? A staggering .234. He also didn’t have a valid license. Cante was arrested Oct. 24 and released three days later on a $15,000 bond. STORY 5: Pro women's soccer team could be headquartered in Marietta Arthur Blank, the billionaire behind Atlanta United and the Falcons, is reportedly bringing an NWSL expansion team to Atlanta, according to The Athletic. The price tag? A record $165 million. The team, set to debut after the 2026 season, will play at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, just like Blank’s other teams. But will it call Marietta home? Atlanta United’s $90 million training facility on Franklin Gateway seems like a natural fit. With six fields, a podcast studio, and plans for hydrotherapy rooms, it’s already top-notch. Plus, Blank owns extra land nearby—plenty of room to grow. Marietta Councilman Johnny Walker is hopeful. “It’d be a win-win,” he said. Break: STORY 6: Mayor Tumlin reelected as Cobb County certifies tight race It’s official: Steve “Thunder” Tumlin will stay Marietta’s mayor, edging out challenger Sam Foster by just 89 votes. The Cobb County Board of Elections certified the Nov. 4 results Monday, locking in Tumlin’s 50.3% to Foster’s 49.7%. Close? Absolutely. Turnout was low—just 24.9% of Cobb’s 565,686 eligible voters showed up. Most voted on Election Day, but Acting Elections Director Michael D’Itri noted a few hiccups: abandoned ballots, long lines at Thompson Community Center, and a handful of discrepancies. “It was a tough day,” D’Itri admitted, but praised poll workers for pulling it off. Runoffs for Marietta City Council Wards 3 and 5 are set for Dec. 2. Early voting starts Nov. 22. STORY 7: Braves complete coaching staff, retain Hyers, Perez The Atlanta Braves shook up their coaching staff Tuesday, announcing a mix of familiar faces and fresh hires for Walt Weiss’ first year at the helm. Tim Hyers is back as hitting coach for his second season, and Eddie Perez—yes, the 1999 NLCS MVP—is returning for his 37th year with the organization. That’s loyalty. New faces? Tommy Watkins takes over as third base coach after years with the Twins, Dustin Garneau steps in as catching coach, and Darnell Coles joins as assistant hitting coach, bringing over a decade of experience. Tony Diaz rounds out the group as a major league coach. Oh, and Tony Mansolino, originally hired as third base coach, will now serve as Weiss’ bench coach. Big moves all around. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break: INGLES 7 Signoff- Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.

We just got back from a media trip to Club Med Punta Cana! We met real influencers (the ones who actually do this for a living), and wow, it's a hard job. It feels like you don't have control or power over your life and that someone is dictating what you're worth. They literally hit the ground running and didn't stop. No one really knew who we were — and that's just fine, because we know that the moms know who we are!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryThe images most people see on Veterans Day tell only half the story. KCat steps to the mic with a heartfelt solo message that blends pride, grit, and a clear challenge to the media and the public: broaden the lens and see the women who served. Drawing on 20 years in the United States Air Force—including the realities of being a single parent in uniform—she shares why representation isn't a favor, it's the truth, and how invisibility shapes who gets honored, heard, and helped.We dig into what service really looks like beyond the montage: leadership forged under pressure, teamwork that outlasts the uniform, and humor that held units together on the hardest days. Cat explains why she created Sisters in Service—to end the wait for recognition by telling the stories ourselves—and highlights the diversity of women veterans whose work often goes unseen: the mechanic with oil-stained hands, the medic who steadied chaos, the pilot who broke ceilings and lifted others, and the mom who deployed and still led with grace. These aren't exceptions; they are the veteran story.You'll hear a direct invitation to parade organizers, newsrooms, and communities to honor all veterans and to stop defaulting to the same faces. And you'll get a personal charge to expand your own picture of a veteran by looking at the women you already know—coworkers, neighbors, leaders—who once wore the uniform. We close with a rallying cry to women veterans to take up space, post their photos, and share their stories. If this message resonates, subscribe, share it with a sister in service, and leave a review so more listeners can find these voices and join the movement.https://www.smallspacepilates.comhttps://www.mysexybusiness.comSupport the show
In this conversation, author Michelle Knudsen emphasizes the critical role of persistence in the writing industry, highlighting that success is often not immediate and can be influenced by many external factors. She encourages writers to find joy in the writing process itself, as it is the only aspect they can truly control amidst the uncertainties of publishing and reception. We also discuss her latest middle grade book, Into the Wild Magic.Into the Wild Magic is a middle-grade fantasy novel about an eleven-year-old girl named Bevvy who escapes into a magical world with a new, mysterious friend named Cat. The book features a world at war between those who wield "wild magic" and dark sorcerers, and explores themes of friendship, trust, and self-discovery as Bevvy learns to embrace her own magical abilities. Key takeaways from this episode: The most important thing you need to succeed in this business is persistence.You can write an amazing book and not be able to sell it.It's essential to keep going despite challenges.Finding joy in the writing process is crucial.Many factors influencing success are out of your control.Small successes in writing matter, regardless of big recognition.Enjoying the work itself is what you can control.Overnight success stories can be misleading.Persistence is key to navigating the ups and downs of writing.The Podcast Inside Your HouseWeird Horror.

This week's conversation starts with a late-night rabbit hole on legendary chef Marco Pierre White and turns into a deeper reflection on obsession, mastery, and meaning. We explore the fine line between excellence and excess—how far to push detail before it stops serving the guest—and what that tension looks like in coffee. It's an episode about passion meeting perspective. From Michelin-level precision to café hospitality, we ask what really defines quality: flawless technique or the feeling it creates for people. In the end, craft only matters if it connects.
We jump back to when Noah, JJ, and Cat interview Sam about being stalked by the infamous creature that lurks in the Waverly Hills Sanatorium. Sam also shares a touching story about their grandmother's spirit visiting last night. This episode is full of ghosty goodness and one we think you will really enjoy!

Parish Armstead was only 7 years old when the first signs of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) appeared. This is a painful inflammatory skin condition that causes boil-like abscesses and scarring, which can occur anywhere that hair follicles grow. These abscesses are known to reform in the same spot even when surgically removed, or connect with each other through tunnels under the skin called tracts. This disease runs in Parish's family, and growing up it was normal to use hot soaks to treat breakouts. His first surgery was at 11, and he would continue to get surgeries throughout the years as his HS developed. It wasn't until he turned 18 that a doctor recommended a CAT scan, which discovered a system of tracts under his skin, leading to his diagnosis with hidradenitis suppurativa. In this episode of the Major Pain podcast, Parish tells us what it is like to live with HS. This disease does not only affect the skin—it causes systemic fatigue, necessitates a regimented diet and exercise, and also carries a heavy mental health toll. Parish's journey has been one of acceptance. At first he rebelled against this disease, not wanting to make the necessary lifestyle changes or even be seen in public— how he has embraced this lifelong challenge, allowing him to discover a deeper sense of self. This upward trajectory began with HS Connect, an advocacy group that Parish is now an active member of. Finally finding community around HS showed him the importance of being visible and speaking up about his journey. He now co-hosts the HS Brotherhood Podcast with Joey Torre (two-time guest of Major Pain) and curates an advocacy platform as HSOpenWounds.

Marc and Jordan look at three shorts where characters that arguably should have been in one-shot cartoons are given a second, or fourth, chance. These include 'Greetings, Bait', starring The Wacky Worm, 'Cheese-It, The Cat', starring The Honeymousers, and 'Often An Orphan', starring the much-maligned Charlie Dog. Some of these work, and could have been longer running characters. Some show signs of limitations in their concepts. And some bring us to a two-minute-long laughing standstill.Links:Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Senior Cats are near and dear to Rita's heart, having adopted several of these precious felines. Sometimes they cats end up in the shelter due to no talk of their own when their owners pass away or move to a care facility. Often overlooked at adoption time, senior cats still have a lot of love to give and can be the perfect companion for someone looking for a quiet kitty. Having known love all of their lives, it's important to get these sweethearts into loving homes and give them a second chance at love. There are some things to consider when adopting one of these special angels, but nothing that should preclude them from getting adopted. Dr. Kelly Cairns is here to talk about the special needs of older cats, and how to prepare to care for a cat that might be getting up in age. You won't be sorry opening your home, and your heart, to a senior cat who needs you.EPISODE NOTES: Senior Cats and their Special Needs Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/19-cats-and-counting-on-pet-life-radio-petliferadio-com--6667858/support.
In this Write Big Session, Jennie and KJ dive into what it really means to “write big” when you're deep in the messy middle of a novel. KJ shares how she's tackling her new book by working backward from the ending—mapping out the emotional and plot arcs for each character to keep herself focused and out of the coffee-chat scenes she loves to write. Jennie cheers her on, unpacking how this kind of clarity, self-awareness, and trust in the reader is what turns a good book into a great one.TRANSCRIPT BELOW!THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST* The Correspondent* KJ's Review of The CorrespondentSPONSORSHIP MESSAGEHey, this is Jennie Nash, and I wanted to invite you to check out my Substack newsletter, The Art & Business of Book Coaching. It's totally free unless you choose to support me, and it's secretly really great for writers. The reason is that book coaches are in the business of helping writers do their best work. So I'm always talking about writer mindset and things like helping a writer find their structure or find an agent or find their position in the marketplace. If you're considering investing in having somebody help you, it's a great way to get prepared to know who you might want to pick and what you might want to ask of them. You'll get an inside peek at the way that the people who are in the business of helping writers think about writers, and so in that way, it can help you become a better writer just by tuning in. I have a lot of writers following me over there, so if you're interested, come check it out you can find it at substack.com/@JennieNash. That's substack.com/@JennieNash, and it's J-E-N-N-I-E.EPISODE TRANSCRIPTJennie NashHi, I'm Jennie Nash, and you're listening to the Hashtag AmWriting Podcast. This is a Write Big Session, where I'm bringing you short episodes about the mindset shifts that help you stop playing small and write like it matters. Today I'm talking to KJ, and we're going to be doing recurring episodes where we talk about her efforts to play big and write big in her new novel. Hi, KJ.KJ Dell'AntoniaHi! This is going to be so fun. Okay, so I'll tell you what—yeah, I'll tell you what I've been working on. What I'm thinking—like, my theory here is sort of avoid the muddly middle by writing the end, or kind of outlining to the end. So I have about 30,000 words. I've really established things. The main events have really started to happen, and I know kind of where they're going, but I kind of hit a point where I wasn't sure, like, what should happen next, in what order. And I know myself—I am very prone, at this point, to just flaking off into people having coffee and talking.Jennie NashYes, you are! You are really good at that.KJ Dell'AntoniaExactly. And they would be very entertaining and enjoyable scenes of people having coffee and—or doing whatever. But there is—I mean, I have five point-of-view characters, one main one, but—and all of them have lots of stuff going on in their lives, some of which has to do with this, and some of which doesn't. Well, all of it does, but you don't—it's not all the core, either the core emotional plot or the core actual plot. So what I did was to start sketching out the stuff that happens next, and then I kind of have jumped ahead, and what I'm working on now—and I'd love your sort of feedback on this as an idea—is I wrote out, like, okay, here's the emotional end for each of these characters. Here's where they need to end up, and then here's the plot end for each of these characters in, like, the happy ending, if there was an epilogue—which this is not really that kind of book kind of way—just so I know, like, this is where… And now I am focused on, okay, what should, like, the last scene of this be? I know what happens, but I'm trying to figure out, like, what would be the—what would be the last thing? And I may get this in the wrong order, but anyway, that's where I am, and I'm going to build those backwards until I catch up to my middle, and I'm thinking that will keep me—keep my eye on the ball. What do you think?Jennie NashWell, I could not love this more for you. I really couldn't, because I know what you're trying to do, and I feel like you're doing it, and we're getting at this idea of what does it mean to write big, and you're trying to solve for something that you just identified for us—that you have it, you tend to fall into—and you're trying to not do that. And you're trying to write a bigger, better book because of it, and it's so interesting because it's a super nuanced thing you're talking about, but it's also where the difference—that's how you get from good to great—and you're trying to get to great. So I just love this so much. And what I hear is that you've outlined this book, which I know is hard for you, and now you're kind of using that outline to scaffold yourself to write an emotionally satisfying story. So I just—I love it as a tactic for writing big.KJ Dell'AntoniaBecause even if I go back to that outline, like, there are some things happening in these people's personal lives that are deeply important to them—and, I think, important to the reader—but not in the sense that I need pages and pages of either discussion or introspection about them. It's more that those are—that they really need to stay back, not background exactly, but in this intense moment of these people's lives, those things are still in their heads. Like, they're still going, you know, Wait, what just happened means that I am never going to get a resolution to this thing that I'm deeply worried about—but also I have to deal with this, with this death and this crisis. And so I was thinking that doing this would keep me focused on the emotionality of the crisis.Jennie NashYeah, because you're really good at plot. You're really good at plot, and the other component that—underlying what is—the emotion of this person is something you've had to work harder at. And what I love about that is that this is how you get really fully fleshed-out characters. Because, like, I have a friend who is going through a heartbreak, and every single thing she does right now is done through the lens of that heartbreak. So even if she says, “Hey, do you want to go on a whale-watching trip out to the islands this weekend?” it's not just about let's go on a whale-watching trip, right? It's about—KJ Dell'AntoniaRight.Jennie NashBut she's not going to say that when she asks me to go on the whale-watching trip. She's not going to say, “Because, you know, I'm lonely and sad,” you know? So what you're doing is giving your characters these rich lives. But that's not the story.KJ Dell'AntoniaAnd also, I think it will help me to trust the readers—to pay attention to what matters about the rich lives. So, you know, to trust the reader to keep in their head that if someone has a passing, fleeting thought about one of those emotional—you know, one of those pieces of emotional background—that they will still either be wondering about it, if I haven't revealed it yet, or, you know, recognize it for what it is. And I suspect that I'm going to forget some of them. As I go back through my outline, I'm like, Oh yeah, totally forgot she had this particular problem, and this is how this is going to be resolved. And that may mean that some of them don't stay, although I think they will. I think it just means that I got—that, you know, ninety thousand words' worth of story is a lot to keep in your head.Jennie NashSo when you sit down to write, how are you doing it differently? I mean, we know that you're very good at productivity—doing the stickers, sitting down, doing the work—but how are you making yourself think in this different way this time?KJ Dell'AntoniaI am not drafting. I am staring. And I have two—oh, I have a Google Doc of about forty-six files at this point. Then—actually, no, I think it's twenty-eight. So I have an outline that you are sometimes looking at, which has everything that I've written so far, and then a chunk of things that I know are coming up, where I could write those pretty quickly. The problem is… I would hit a wall at the end of them. So I want to come back and make sure that they're what I want to—or at least what I think I want to—write. So I'm going into a sort of a secondary outline, and I'm writing things like—because a lot of what's happening now is also that I am figuring out things that are happening now in the story that the reader won't know till the end, because a lot of people did a lot of stuff—Jennie NashYeah.KJ Dell'Antonia—in this twenty-four-hour period, and some of it you may never know, but I need to know how and why—Jennie NashYeah.KJ Dell'Antonia…they did those things. So I'm kind of writing like, “What if he did this?” and, “Oh, you know, but—but wait, why? Why would he show up there at this moment?” and, like, resolving that and kind of coming up with all of that, even though that isn't going to go in those pages. So I did—I worked on that this morning, and then I worked on—I wrote out the emotional ends for everyone. And now I'm just trying to—I'm thinking what I'll kind of do is I'll plot-outline backwards, and then I'll emotion-outline backwards-forwards from there.Jennie NashYeah. Yeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaNo, no—well, backwards, I think, maybe because I know where they're going to end. I don't know whether—or I'll sketch, I'll sketch in the emotional bit. So what you—when you were looking at this, you could see that there's a section of about seven lines that are pure plot.Jennie NashYeah. Yeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaBecause… that's just me. I think, at this point, because this is a thriller and it's complicated, I need to figure out—and then you and I—we had this great moment where, in one of those, I was like, I don't know whose point of view the scene was from, and you said something very useful to me, which is, “Whose story would seeing this affect most?” And I knew—and I immediately knew the answer to that. So—Jennie NashI… I thought that you might.KJ Dell'AntoniaThat was a great way to deal with that.Jennie NashYeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaYeah. I thought that you might. So I know we're talking vaguely, but it's this idea that when you have something that happens in the story, and there's choices about what is the result of that action in the story—that different things could happen, different people could show up, different things could be said, different, you know, directions could go from this plot point. And right—the quest—you were saying, I'm not sure who's going to be part of this action?Jennie NashWho's going to find it?KJ Dell'AntoniaRight?Jennie NashYeah, who's going to find this one character having this—I don't—I know—I don't want it to be from that character's point of view. Somebody needs to come upon a character, you know, who's just made a really crushing emotional discovery. And the question of who would—seeing that—whose emotional story would that alter the most? Because the plot at that point is going to be rolling. Like, I almost don't have just the facts of what's happening here; like, the plots are basically almost a one-line thing. So, like, the plot goes… yeah…Jennie NashThat's what we're getting at here. This is what it means to write big—it's what you're thinking about. We know what the plot is. It's really quite simple. I mean, it's straightforward, I should say—how you present it is not simple. And the emotional part—that's what's going to give us the emotional punch—is not simple. And so the decisions about every—at every plot point—what's going to give the most emotional resonance here—that's what writing big is. And you said something that I want to point back to, which is, you're holding all of this in your head. I have always said that I think the primary skill of a really skillful novelist is holding multiple things in their head at one time, right?KJ Dell'AntoniaIt's all in there. It's like a big—it's like a big sack of Jell-O.Jennie NashYeah? But the ability to—I mean, it's funny you use that metaphor—but it's more, it's more like, I think of it as threads. And you're like, “Okay, got this thread, and I got this thread, I'm holding these threads, and I'm weaving them together, and I have a grasp of all the threads.” That's what you're doing, and it's that—it's that skill. You have to have self-awareness, you have to have story awareness, you have to have confidence and authority—like, there are so many things that you have to have to pull that off, and I see that that's what you're trying to do here. And it's so cool to watch. I love it.KJ Dell'AntoniaAnd I don't feel like I have those things. And I do think, you know, as I'm thinking about listeners out there going, I don't have those things, I mean, I get that. I don't feel like I have them either. I think when we, as readers, are also seeing ourselves as a writer, like, a really common thing that we think as a reader is, Oh, I know how a story works because I've read so many of them. And then I personally had to learn from Jennie quite a few years ago now that that did not actually teach me how to do this—structure the spot—but the holding the whole mess in your head, I think that may be what you get from a lifetime of reading—is this ability to have a big, loose grasp and, you know, keep enough notes to know that you've put a—you know, a pin in some section to come back to it, and that kind of thing. I feel like that might be the thing that we do have within us.Jennie NashAbsolutely. I'm looking—I'm trying to find—I just started reading a book based on your recommendation, and I can't, I can't find it, but you're going to know what it is. It's the novel in letters, the—uh…KJ Dell'AntoniaOh, The Correspondent.Jennie NashThe Correspondent, thank you. I mean, I—KJ Dell'AntoniaThat's a first novel, but from a very adult human being. You know, it's not a first-first novel by a twenty-two-year-old. It's a first novel from probably somebody who's probably written a few.Jennie NashBut the reason that I—well, I always love the way that you talk about books. Your sense as a reader, I just really appreciate. But you said something about it—that this book really trusts the reader to fill in the blanks, to figure out what's happening. They're not spoon-feeding you. And you mentioned how that felt unusual these days. And I thought, Oh, I want that experience as a reader. And also, I love that experience as a person who studies how books are made, and that trying to build that experience for the reader—that's what you're trying to do. By holding all those things in your head and deciding how and when to share them, or whose hands to put them in in a particular scene, or that sort of thing—that's how you build that. And it's hard. It's really hard. So I applaud you for—you're in there, it's messy, you're doing it, you're doing it. It's so exciting.KJ Dell'AntoniaAnd one of the other things that we've talked about is how, like, every time many of us write, we're trying to write bigger. Like, this—it's not an insult to our past work; it's just we're trying to do bigger and do more. And so I'm thinking about—so when I was writing my earliest books, I remember that one of the things I was focusing on in books that I was reading was how people began things, and where, you know, where the turning points were—kind of where the Save the Cat!, moments were, absolutely, in terms of… but not just where those were, but sort of how they were done—like how people regret, and how they demonstrated who the protagonists were. And then I remember moving on to a question of how little does someone put in a book about a secondary character, or someone who really mattered to the protagonist's life, that tells me what I need to know as a reader but doesn't take up a lot of pages.Jennie NashYeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaAnd I would literally go in and count—like, okay, how many times did we see this mother that I fully understand how important they were to the protagonist? And it'll be, like, twice and a couple of references. So I remember doing that. And now I feel like what I'm really paying attention to is how little does a book that I really enjoy—the process of sort of working my way through—how little does it give people, and how much does it demand that you figure out?Jennie NashYeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaHow little information are you given so that you can do—because that's the good work of a reader. Sometimes you don't want to do that, you know? Sometimes you kind of want it all served up, or you kind of want something where the tropes are simple enough that you can—but sometimes you really want something where you have to do some figuring out. And it doesn't—The Correspondent is not a thriller.Jennie NashRight.KJ Dell'AntoniaBut you really have to figure out, like, who is this person, and why do they do this, and why are they able to do this, and why—how are they making mistakes by doing—and by “do this,” I mean, she's a letter writer. She's the correspondent. She writes letters instead of, as it turns out, really, instead of talking to people. But it's really good, so I do recommend it.Jennie NashSo I like to end these short episodes with a reflection that the listener can do, or something that they can take away to think about based on what we've talked about. Is there something that comes to your mind that you would recommend?KJ Dell'AntoniaWell, it's a little dependent on where you are in your manuscript, but I think—so what I'm really going to recommend is, come at what you're doing from a different angle within the book. Start from something you know happens, and either work backwards up to it or forwards or backwards from it, instead of working chronologically—not necessarily in terms of drafting, but just in terms of figuring out what are the very most important things that have to show up on the page.Jennie NashI love that. Well, until next time, for everyone listening—stop playing small and write like it matters.NarratorThe Hashtag AmWriting Podcast is produced by Andrew Perrella.

Writer Chanté Joseph recently explored this idea in an article for Vogue and on social media, observing a noticeable shift in how people - particularly heterosexual women - present their relationships online. Instead of posting clear photos of their romantic partners, many are choosing subtler signals: a hand on a steering wheel, clinking glasses, or even blurring out faces in wedding pictures. But why the change? Anita hears more from Chante. A grande dame of musical theatre, Elaine Paige made her West End debut in the 1960s and shot to fame in 1978 playing Eva Perón in Evita, going on to star in Cats, Chess, Sunset Boulevard and many more.

Beatriz de Bobadilla fue compañera de juegos de Isabel la Católica en Arévalo, a pesar de los 11 años que las separaban, y recorrió con ella el camino de la vida hasta su mismo lecho de muerte.Esta cercanía a la reina, que la llamaba "hija" según un cronista de la época, propició su ascenso social y el de su marido, que nunca se separaron de Isabel I y estuvieron junto a ella en los momentos más convulsos de su reinado.Como consecuencia, sus hijos hicieron muy buenos matrimonios con la nobleza del momento y heredaron una buena hacienda de sus padres.Hoy hablamos de ella.

After a visit to the Great Land a few years ago, Cat Cushway, her husband and her parents, all from Michigan, felt the pull to make Alaska their home. Settling in Homer, Cat, now with 2 young toddlers, started feeling another tug, this time from God about the impact she should have in Homer with the strengths and passions she had been blessed with.With an extensive background in education, Cat knew it was going to be something related to schooling but when her husband said, "Go for it. Why don't you start a school? Our community needs it. Our kids need it.", she was overwhelmed. That is no small task when you're in the middle of changing diapers and managing a household.But God started giving her reassurances. Things just began falling in place.Today, I'm privileged to chat with Cat about the establishment of yet another school option opening up in Alaska. Revive Academy, proudly affiliated with the Charlie Kirk's TurningPoint Education, is enrolling students now for a September 2026 launch.More than 10% of Homer's K-8th grade public school students have signed up. And that number is growing. Mic drop.I hope you can tune in for the good news.Support the show

Why most enterprise AI fails — and how Cat Valverde's 4-week adoption framework shows that the fix is just 15 minutes a week.Most enterprises are stuck in AI pilot purgatory — running endless experiments that never scale. In this episode of Unchurned, Josh Schachter sits down with Cat Valverde, founder of Enterprise AI Group, to break down what's really blocking enterprise adoption.Cat shares her research-backed 15-Minute Rule, a simple 4-week framework that's doubled or tripled adoption rates — all by making AI implementation human-centered instead of tool-centered.If you're a leader trying to take AI from pilot to production, this is your playbook.What You'll Learn- Why most enterprise AI initiatives fail to scale past pilot stage- How to reduce adoption friction and create lasting behavior change- The psychological levers that improve user buy-in and learning retention- How to structure a simple 4-week rollout for any AI tool or workflow- What metrics actually matter when evaluating AI adoption successTimestamps: 0:00 – Preview & Intro1:02 – Meet Kat Valverde 1:42 – What buyers and sellers say in enterprise AI roundtables3:11 – The challenge of internal adoption 6:20 – The 15-Minute Rule; a 4-week micro-adoption framework11:45 – The psychology behind AI adoption12:18 – 2–3× adoption rates and major cost savings14:45 – Closing thoughtsKey Takeaways- Pilot fatigue is real — the biggest blocker to enterprise AI adoption isn't money, it's time and cognitive load.- The true KPI: internal adoption, not just model accuracy or ROI.- Fear ≠ just job loss.

Yeah, baby, yeah! We've been cryogenically frozen and thawed out in 1997 to explore the groovy phenomenon that was Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Mike Myers brought his vision of a swinging '60s spy to life on a modest budget of just $16.5 million, creating a comedy with a vibrant retro aesthetic, pulling inspiration from James Bond, Our Man Flint, and classic '60s films like A Hard Day's Night. It's a clever mix of satire and slapstick, poking fun at spy movies while also creating its own universe.Oh, behave! Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery became a cultural touchstone, introducing catchphrases and characters that defined late '90s comedy. From Elizabeth Hurley's Vanessa Kensington to Myers' dual role as both Austin and Dr. Evil, the film's irreverent humour and physical comedy created something truly shagadelic, commenting on societal changes between the 60s and 90s, addressing how attitudes towards love, sex, and espionage have evolved over the decades. Do I make you horny, baby? The legacy of Austin Powers is more than just catchphrases; it challenged the norms of masculinity and relationships, making him a relatable and beloved character across generations. It's smashing, baby! Alexa, play Soul Bossa Nova!I would love to hear your thoughts on Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____A 10-year-old boy sat across from Dr. Kalaki Clarke, MD during her psychiatry rotation, and she saw herself. Smart, charming, good grades but couldn't get it together. That's when she knew she had ADHD too.Dr. Clarke was in her first year of residency at UC Irvine, working 80-hour weeks in a system designed to test you constantly. She'd been the good kid, the high achiever, the one who always kept it together. But in residency, surrounded by neurotypical colleagues, sleep-deprived, and constantly performing, the mask finally came off. Her 2015 diagnosis became a turning point, launching her into advocacy for physicians with ADHD. She helped craft equity guidelines for neurodivergent resident physicians, spoke at the International Conference on ADHD, and delivered a TEDx talk called "Seeing is Freeing: How Observation Releases ADHD Potential."Now, as a board-certified family physician and Associate Professor of Medical Education at USC's Keck School of Medicine, Dr. Clarke spends her time providing care for underserved communities in Los Angeles while shaping the next generation of doctors.In this conversation, Dr. Clarke and Tracy talk about what it's like to have ADHD in a profession that demands perfection and how "seeing is freeing" applies to both patients and physicians. Dr. Clarke introduces her CAT method (Capture, Analyze, Transform), a framework for turning struggles into strategies. She also talks about leading by example, why she came out publicly about her ADHD at work, and what it means to create space for others to be seen when you've spent so long feeling invisible yourself.Resources: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kmclarkemd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/this_md_kalaki/ TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKmRyxlas3ISend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

In Margaret Atwood's 64-year career she has published world-renowned, prescient novels like The Handmaid's Tale, Cat's Eye, Alias Grace and Blind Assassin, and now a memoir. Margaret joins Nuala McGovern to discuss Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts and reflect on her life, her work and the power of knowing her own mind. We also reflect on the impact Margaret Atwood has had on writers and academics. Author Naomi Alderman and academics Dr Rosamund Portus and Dr Megan Douglas join Nuala to discuss how Margaret has encouraged and inspired their work across literature, science and beyond. Health Secretary Wes Streeting in an interview in The Guardian today says an “ugly” racism reminiscent of the 1970s and 1980s has become worryingly commonplace in modern Britain and NHS staff are bearing the brunt of it. In recent weeks, organisations representing nurses, social workers and carers - many of those being areas are dominated by women - have been sounding the alarm saying their members are encountering unprecedented levels of racism. We talk to Patricia Marquiss, Director for England at the Royal College of Nursing, Nadra Ahmed, Executive Chairman of the National Care Association and Harvey Gallagher from the Nationwide Association of Fostering Providers.Is having a boyfriend now embarrassing? Writer Chanté Joseph recently explored this idea in an article for Vogue and on social media, observing a noticeable shift in how people - particularly heterosexual women - present their relationships online. Instead of posting clear photos of their romantic partners, many are choosing subtler signals: a hand on a steering wheel, clinking glasses, or even blurring out faces in wedding pictures. But why the change? Even Zohran Mamdani, the new Mayor of New York, was asked whether it's still okay to use the term boyfriend. Chanté joins us.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Simon Richardson
This episode needs no introduction: Shooter Jennings joins Donnie and Dave to discuss his dad's cache of recordings, the process of bringing together three albums' worth of new Waylon Jennings music, and his feelings about the first installment, Songbird. Shooter talks at length about the discovery of Waylon's previously unreleased music, his relationship with his legendary dad and his own role as a father of two. This one was big for the Country Music Dads, as there couldn't be a more perfect topic for this podcast. Show Notes1:24 -- Shooter tells us about the discovery of these songs and how the Songbird project came together. 6:12 -- Dave says it was surreal to hear these songs in 2025. Shooter felt the same way. And then he knew he had to share this with others so they could have the same experience. 8:26 -- The Myth vs. The Man: Shooter explores what fans might be able to take from these projects. 10:42 -- Shooter's childhood on the road and why he's tired at shows regardless of how much sleep he gets. 12:20 -- Waylon the Artist vs. Waylon the Dad. Shooter kept true to the art but modernized it a bit — “letting the music on the tape talk.” That said, the experience of going through this chapter of his dad's life was very special to Shooter. 20:07 -- As a producer, the process of this project was a bit different for Shooter because Waylon is no longer with us; he is his father, and there was so much more material than usual. So he wanted to make it last to “make it like Waylon is here for a minute.” 23:00 -- Donnie asked about how relationships impact Shooter's production style. He specifically pointed to Turnpike Troubadour's last two albums and the fan backlash after Cat in the Rain. Shooter's direct and honest answer provides an interesting view into his producing style.28:58 -- The Dads ask Shooter how the production on the next albums fit together and how they tell a story. We also learn that there are several other projects to come from this collection of recordings, including songs by his mother, Jessi Colter. It's like a little Marvel Universe of Waylon Jennings, they joke. But wouldn't that be cool?30:40 -- How this project impacts Shooter's legacy and his kids' vision of him. 36:30 -- What's next for Shooter? He's working with Charley Crockett and BJ Barham of American Aquarium again.Thank you for listening.

Our hormones are all over the place and we're just trying to keep up. We're talking about what happens when your hormone levels start doing their own thing, how finding the right medication feels like a full-time job (and a reminder that we're absolutely not doctors, just two women trying to find the right balance), and why every Google search somehow leads to more confusion. We're also getting real about aging and the habits that actually help. Basically, if there's something you don't want to do… it probably means you should be doing it.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?
