Julie Bogart and Melissa Wiley return with a heartwarming episode all about writing stations---simple, inviting setups that help kids discover the joy of putting pen to paper. Inspired by Melissa's son Steven, who has turned letter-writing into an art form, the hosts explore how authentic writing can become a beloved ritual rather than a chore.From Steven's letters to UPS and Paula's Choice to the treasure of handwritten notes to grandparents, Julie and Melissa show how writing stations make real-world communication accessible, beautiful, and meaningful. They share easy ways to stock materials---stationery, stamps, pens, and postcards---and ideas for turning everyday writing into connection, gratitude, and delight.This episode celebrates handwriting as an act of love and self-expression, reminding parents that the goal isn't perfect penmanship---it's the human touch of words sent out into the world.Topics discussed include:How one homeschooler's letters sparked joy and communityCreating low-stress writing stations at homeLetter writing as real-world language artsWhy small gestures of gratitude matterThe enduring beauty of paper, pens, and stampsResources:Unfortunately, “Murph” (Melissa's source for old stamps) is no longer selling online.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1187: GM trims its workforce and tech leadership as it reassesses priorities. Kia hits pause on its next U.S. EV launch amid regulatory roadblocks. And Walmart leans into nostalgia with a print catalog push designed to elevate its home game.Show Notes with links:General Motors made sweeping changes last week, laying off workers and restructuring leadership as it adjusted to shifting market signals. What began as a response to softening EV demand quickly expanded into a broader corporate shakeup.GM eliminated 1,750 jobs, including 1,200 from Factory Zero in Detroit and hundreds more at paused battery plants in Ohio and Tennessee.The company cited weaker EV sales and regulatory uncertainty as reasons for scaling back production.Senior VP of Software David Richardson abruptly exited following an internal reorg just days after presenting at GM's tech event.His responsibilities were shifted under product leadership led by Tesla/Aurora alum Sterling Anderson.CEO Mary Barra assumed oversight of cybersecurity and IT, signaling a more hands-on approach to GM's tech transformation.Kia has officially delayed the U.S. release of its compact EV4 sedan, which was initially slated to arrive in early 2026.The EV4, revealed at the New York Auto Show, was expected to start under $40K with up to 330 miles of range.Kia confirmed the delay, citing “changing market conditions for EVs” as primary cause.The expiration of the $7,500 EV tax credit and new import tariffs have reshaped the economics of launching foreign-built EVs in the U.S.The EV4 was to be manufactured in South Korea and imported to the U.S.; that plan is now on hold indefinitely.Kia's EV lineup already includes the EV6, EV9, and Niro EVIn an unexpected move, Walmart has revived the old-school print catalog to boost its home goods visibility. The retailer's latest campaign mixes nostalgia with strategy, aiming to reintroduce shoppers to a broader, more style-forward product lineup.Walmart released a full-scale home catalog in August, targeting new, existing, and lapsed customers ahead of the holidays.The catalog showcases furniture, decor, and appliances with QR codes linking to Walmart's online store.SVP Creighton Kiper described the catalog as a static creative tool to reposition Walmart as a destination for affordable, high-style home goods.Despite rapid execution, early impressions and engagement exceeded expectations — though no follow-up editions have been confirmed.“Most retailers recognize… you have to have a marketing mix across online and offline channels to really reach the consumer,” said Polly Wong, President of Belardi Wong.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:03 Upcoming Edge Webinar Tomorrow!1:39 GM Shakes Up ExeJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

This episode takes on a fiendish playlist challenge: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon — The Music Edition. The rule is simple to explain but devilish to pull off: every song in the playlist connects to the next through a shared musician collaboration — guest features, one-off duets, session players, and more. Each track comes from a different primary artist or band, all leading toward the final destination: Kevin Bacon. Expect surprising crossovers, session-player breadcrumbs, and collaborative threads that reveal just how small — and yet connected — the music world really is. Connecting Kevin Bacon through movies might seem easy, but doing it through music? That's a whole different level of challenge. Thanks to Matt Kennedy of XRadioX for submitting this week's concept! Tune in, and then let me know how you'd connect the musical dots through your Six Degrees playlist!

Originally aired on the Predictable Revenue Podcast, this conversation flips the old sales playbook on its head.Adem Manderovic (Closed Circuit Selling) and George Coudounaris (The B2B Playbook) join Collin Stewart to unpack a new sales paradigm built around one principle — catalog the market, not “book more meetings.”They explain how the Closed Circuit Selling framework replaces outdated outbound with validated, permission-based outreach that unites Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success under one rhythm.Tune in and learn:+ Why cataloging the market gives you timing signals that drive predictable growth+ The exact questions to validate fit, timing, and permission to follow up+ How to align Sales & Marketing around validated accounts instead of vanity metricsIf you're a B2B marketer or sales leader stuck in “meetings-booked” chaos, this is your blueprint for a smarter, more efficient GTM motion.-----------------------------------------------------

As many regular listeners to the podcast know, on this channel we have been exploring the new kinds of educational institutions that are emerging in response to the challenges that our legacy institutions are facing. For the last 250 years we've gotten used to compulsory standardised schooling being provided at scale by either the state, as public government schools, or by the market, as private fee-paying schools. I'm fascinated by the question of what alternatives there might be to this binary choice. Home-schooling networks, religious and intentional communities are certainly examples, but often still very much at the margins. My guest this week, David Bollier, is a global expert in the the way that communities work together to steward shared resources often known as the Commons, rather than relying on the market or the state. So I was very keen to ask him about the implications of reframing education itself as a commons, what would this do to the ways that we provide, fund, and govern education.David is an author, activist, blogger and independent scholar with a primary focus on the commons as a new paradigm of economics, politics and culture. He is the Reinventing the Commons Program Director at the The Schumacher Center for a New Economics https://centerforneweconomics.org/, and co-founder of the Commons Strategies Group, an advocacy/consulting project that assists the international commons movement. David's work on the commons especially focuses on Internet culture; law and policy; ecological governance; and inter-commoning. David has written and edited many books on the commons, including the revised second edition of Think Like a Commoner: A Short Introduction to the Life of the Commons that was published this year. His other books include: Free, Fair and Alive: The Insurgent Power of the Commons and The Commoner's Catalog for Changemaking; Think Like a Commoner: A Short Introduction to the Life of the Commons (2014); Green Governance: Ecological Survival, Human Rights and the Commons (2013), co-authored with Burns Weston; and Viral Spiral: How the Commoners Built a Digital Republic of Their Own (2010). With Silke Helfrich, he co-edited two anthologies of original essays, Patterns of Commoning (2015) and The Wealth of the Commons: A World Beyond Market and State (2012).David spent many years in various policy advocacy jobs in Washington, D.C. in the 1970s and 1980s – with a Member of Congress, the auto safety regulatory agency, and public-interest organizations.  From 1985 to 2010, David collaborated with television producer, writer and activist Norman Lear on a wide variety of non-television public affairs and political projects.  In 2001, David co-founded Public Knowledge, a Washington advocacy organization for the public's stake in the Internet, telecom and copyright policy. David's website and blog: https://www.bollier.org/David's podcast, 'Frontiers of Commoning', with The Schumacher Center for a New Economics: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frontiers-of-commoning-with-david-bollier/id1501085005David on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-bollier-254129/

Julie Bogart and Melissa Wiley reunite to reflect on one of Charlotte Mason's most enduring ideas: that *education is an atmosphere, a discipline, and a life*. What begins as a heartfelt story about a cozy childhood home becomes a rich conversation about the environments we create for learning—spaces that invite participation, curiosity, and joy.Together, Julie and Melissa trace how atmosphere extends far beyond decor: it's about invitation and accessibility—baskets of art supplies, blocks within reach, and time to be alone with one's imagination. They explore the balance between discipline and freedom, how attention and process nurture joy, and what today's parents can learn from slowing down in an age of distraction. From Charlotte Mason's 19th-century wisdom to 21st-century challenges like social media and “attention deficit trait,” this episode is a practical and deeply reassuring guide to cultivating meaningful education that feels alive, attentive, and full of enchantment.Resources:Julie's Monday Morning Meeting for kids – the Birds episodeProject Feederwatch: feederwatch.orgVisit the Brave Writer Book ShopFall class registration is open!

Melissa Wiley takes the mic solo this week for a heartwarming look inside her current homeschool life with her youngest, sixteen-year-old Huck. Drawing from her decades of experience as both author and homeschooling mother of six, Melissa walks listeners through a day in the life of their family's “tidal homeschooling” rhythm—where structured “high tide” study meets creative “low tide” exploration. She shares how her son's outdoor program, their history-and-literature studies, and rich family traditions—film club and nightly read-alouds—keep learning alive and joyful.If you've ever wondered how homeschooling evolves through the teen years—or how to nurture curiosity and connection as your family grows—this episode offers both inspiration and practical insight. Melissa also touches on her creative work, finding balance as a writer and parent, and how rhythms of learning shift with each new life chapter.Resources:Teens and Books: A Deep Dive with Dawn SmithFinally: Not Boring History with Emily GlanklerTidal Homeschooling: The Ebb & Flow of Home Education with Melissa WileyFind the Moomins books in the Brave Writer Book ShopFall class registration is open!Visit Julie's Substack to find her special podcast for kids (and a lot more!)

Imagine being unjustly imprisoned for months, watching your family and people suffer, and asking the piercing question: "O God, where art thou?" The revelations given to Joseph Smith in the darkest dungeon of his life are some of the most beautiful and powerful in all scripture. Summary: In this profound episode, we explore the transcendent revelations of Doctrine and Covenants 121, 122, and 123, written from the confines of Liberty Jail. D&C 121: The Power of Righteousness. We delve into Joseph's heartfelt plea, "How long shall thy hand be stayed?" The Lord answers with a staggering lesson: authority and power are inseparably connected with the principles of righteousness. We analyze the fatal trap of "unrighteous dominion"—covering our sins, gratifying pride, and exercising compulsion—which instantly causes the heavens to withdraw. Crucially, we learn the six principles of Godly Influence: persuasion, long-suffering, gentleness, meekness, love unfeigned, and kindness. This section is a master class in Christlike leadership. D&C 122: Eternal Perspective in Suffering. The Lord reassures Joseph: "My son, peace be unto thy soul." He validates every trial Joseph has faced, from false accusations to the "jaws of hell," and promises that "all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good." This section confirms that the "Son of Man hath descended below them all," granting Him perfect knowledge to comfort us in our extremities. D&C 123: The Duty to Record. Finally, we discuss the duty to collect a "catalog of catastrophes" detailing the Saints' sufferings and abuses. This was not for vengeance, but to "leave the whole nation without excuse" and to help those who are "kept from the truth because they know not where to find it." The lesson culminates with the principle of total effort: "cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God."

Fans of the long-running animated comedy Archer already know Amber Nash as Pam Poovey, the former H.R. director at ISIS. She has superhuman strength and a dolphin hand puppet. Pam does, not Amber. Amber has human strength and we don't know about the puppets. Amber is the host of the brand new Rephrasing: An Archer Rewatch Podcast here on Maximum Fun. She's also a devotee of the Vermont Country Store Catalog, a compendium of folksy and sometimes odd items that shows up as a kind of print portal to a rustic and slow-paced Vermont that exists only in the mail-order-verse. Tour around this soothing place with Amber, help her shop for one-of-a-kind gift ideas for the eccentric and rustic folks on your holiday list, and hear all about store founder Vrest Orton. He was pals with H.P. Lovecraft and his name was really Vrest. You'll fall asleep in the Vermont portal but wake up safe and rested in your own bed.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?Email us at: sleepwithcelebs@maximumfun.org.Follow the Show on:Instagram @sleepwcelebsBluesky @sleepwithcelebsTikTok @SleepWithCelebsJohn is on Bluesky @JohnMoeJohn's acclaimed, best-selling memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is now available in paperback.

Julie takes us on a sweeping journey through the history of homeschooling, weaving together her own story with the larger movement that reshaped education in America.

She got caught in the Saigon vortex and is grateful for it.Ilse is a creator of things, having studied Movement in her native US. Since moving to Saigon she tried out stand up comedy before exploring Drag as the character Colonel Hai Minh, performing in several shows and also works with Dragonfly Theatre. Instead of talking about the arts scene in Saigon that they are both a part of, for some unknown reason Niall and Ilse get very excited to talk about urban planning in Saigon and the improved road network!

One of the major perks of homeschooling is that the middle-school years can be about adventure instead of awkwardness. In this episode, Melissa chats with author Chris Balme about his book Challenge Accepted: 50 Adventures to Make Middle School Awesome. Balme's book invites young readers to discover how trust, agency, and meaningful challenges transform “awkward years” into growth years. Join us for a conversation about kid-driven adventures—stealth art, teaching what you know, citizen science, apprenticeships, and building from scratch—plus practical ways to close the gap between social perception and interpretation, repair friendships, and use side-by-side activities to spark conversation. We also share why modeling a beginner's mind (learning an instrument, sketching, coding) invites kids to try, fail, and try again.Listen to the full episode to gather specific challenge ideas you can use this week and to reframe these years as the great adventure they are.Resources:Learn more at Chris Balme's website: www.chrisbalme.comChris's Substack: Growing WiserFollow Chris Balme on Instagram: @chrisbalme Find CHALLENGE ACCEPTED: 50 ADVENTURES TO MAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL AWESOME in the Brave Writer BookshopFall class registration is open!

Nick is joined once again by TV critic Dan Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter for a lively breakdown of the Emmy Awards, from the winners who deserved it to the surprises no one saw coming. They also wade into the latest chaos from the Big Brother house and review new shows, including the Netflix drama Black Rabbit with Jude Law and Jason Bateman and a revealing new documentary about Charlie Sheen. Esmeralda Leon jumps in later for a lighter turn as she and Nick marvel at one of the strangest mail-order catalogs ever printed. The Best of Collections Etc. is packed with bizarre inventions, unnecessary gadgets, and a few items so inappropriate they leave Nick and Esma equal parts horrified and hysterical. [Ep 388]

Do you ever catch yourself treating screens like contraband—tolerated in tiny doses, never to be openly celebrated? Ash Brandin, author of Power On: Managing Screen Time for the Benefit of the Whole Family, urges us to view screens as morally neutral and to focus on how they can serve the whole family's needs.In this episode, Ash shares their “Screen Time ABCs”: Access that adapts to context rather than rigid caps, Behavior as neutral data rather than blame, and Content choices that create better stopping points. They offer practical tactics like sticky-note reminders for Minecraft, reducing scarcity with predictable access and occasional “yes days,” using body doubling for schoolwork, and setting YouTube Kids to Approved Content Only to eliminate ads and algorithms. Ash also addresses AI, encouraging us to teach kids digital literacy and vetting skills rather than fear.Their perspective replaces guilt with guidance, helping families connect through technology instead of fighting against it. Tune in to hear Ash's thoughtful strategies and mindset-shifting advice.Resources:Follow Ash Brandin on Instagram: @thegamereducatorRead Power On: Managing Screen Time for the Benefit of the Whole Family by Ash BrandinFall class registration is open!
