Summary: Happy 2023, friends, and welcome to Season 2 of Hearts & Daggers! We're starting this year off with a bang - the bang of the starting gun in a Super G ski race, that is. If you've been with us for a while know, you know that this theme is right up Devin's alley and aligns with many of her existing hobbies. Holly, while not a fan of sports generally, loves ice skating and is a sucker for mountain climbing exhibition stories (especially when things start to go wrong). Topics Discussed: The Dagger (4:10): Holly discussed Breathless by Amy McColloch, a novel following Cecily Wong as she strives to climb Menaslu, the 7th tallest peak on earth. A journalist herself, Cecily is fighting to prove herself by scoring an interview with famous mountaineer Charles McVeigh as he seeks to break records climbing the highest summits without supplemental oxygen. His condition? That she go with his team all the way to the top. Her highlights were: McCulloch climbed Menaslu herself and it shows through in the writing, with vivid and accurate descriptions of mountaineering and the trials this group faces from nature as they work toward the top.  If that wasn't enough, one of their team meets an accidental (or not) death and things begin to deteriorate with the group. Cecily finds herself stranded on the mountain not knowing who she can trust during a journey that requires complete trust in the group to survive. The tension builds naturally and in a riveting way. The uniting driver for all characters in this thriller is desperation. Whether it's Cecily, who ended a romantic relationship and risked her entire career for this expedition, or the sherpas who are duty-bound to get the team to the summit, everyone is desperately trying to accomplish their (sometimes contradictory goals).  The Heart (18:22): Devin discussed Edge of Glory by Rachel Spangler, a winter sport turducken that follows two Olympic athletes - one in boardercross (competition snowboard racing) and the other in downhill skiing. Corey LaCroix is a snowboarding icon, with too many medals to count. But at 30, she's noticed her knees are aching and it's taking longer and longer to recover - putting her behind a highly motivated, younger cohort. Elise Brandeis, fighting to recover from a major crash and severe injury the year before after having been the most promising up and coming ski star for the 2018 Olympics, only cares about the gold medal she feels she earned, along with her nickname the Ice Queen. Devin's key takeaways were: Spangler is a queer romance author and the skill shines through. Unlike many romances, this one evolves from enemies to friends to lovers over the course of months, giving the plot and relationship a much more organic and authentic feel.  Elise and Corey both embody the stereotypes of their respective sports - Elise being uptight and unsociable, while Corey is the life of the party (routinely parties she throws). Through their growing connection, the reader peels back the layers of those stereotypes to find the person below and how Elise and Corey are actually more alike than different. Accompanied by a delightfully round cast of side characters and even a side romance, this book delivers on every front for a heartwarming and unusual love story while also maintaining high fidelity to what Devin assumes is the real process of training for and participating in the Olympics.  Hot On the Shelf (36:30):  Devin: Unlikely Animals by Annie Hartnett  Holly: The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey What's Making Our Hearts Race (39:43): Devin and Holly: Wednesday on Netflix Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

Our latest read by Amy McCulloch is a high-altitude thriller that will truly take your breath away, it's called Breathless. Cecily Wong is in over her head. She's come to Manaslu, the 8th-highest peak in the world, to interview world famous mountaineer, Charles McVeigh on the last leg of a record-breaking series of summits. She's given up everything for this story–her boyfriend, her life savings, the peace she's made with her climbing failures in the past–but it's a career-making opportunity that could finally put her life back on track. When one climber dies in what everyone else assumes is a freak accident, she fears their expedition is in danger. And by the time a second climber dies, it's too late to turn back.  She's stranded on a mountain in a remote region, and has quite the battle for survival against a killer who is picking them off one by one!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

El debate más sorprendente entre líderes de las dos grandes potencias de la Guerra Fría se dio en una cocina. O en una cocina ficticia, para ser más exactos. Kruschev contra Nixon. Comunismo contra capitalismo. Dos visiones irreconciliables hasta que aparece un vasito de Pepsi. * Este episodio tuvo como fuentes principales los libros Kitchen, de Banana Yoshimoto; El fin del Homo Sovieticus, de Svetlana Aleksiévich, La importancia del tenedor, de Bee Wilson, Gastro Obscura: A Food Adventurer's Guide, de Cecily Wong y Dylan Thuras y El banquete de los dictadores, de Melissa Scott y Victoria Clark; además del artículo El sueño de la cocina propia, de Juan Forn. En el sitio de la BBC se puede encontrar la transcripción del debate entre Kruschev y Nixon. Por los vínculos entre Kendall, Nixon y el Golpe de Estado en Chile recomiendo el trabajo de Peter Kornbluh para el Centro de Investigación Periodística (Ciper), también disponible en línea. * Nefeli Forni Zervoudaki leyó el texto de Banana Yoshimoto y Cecilia Bonino el de Svetlana Aleksiévich. La voz que narra el ataque al Palacio de la Moneda es del periodista Jaime Vargas. La música original es de Maximiliano Martínez y el diseño de la portada es de Pablo Corrado.

Our relationship to food goes far beyond its nutritional value. What we eat can help us tap into something deeper, whether it brings up treasured memories or allows us to escape our own lives for just a few bites. That duality is captured by two different books in today's episode; while Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner explores how cooking Korean food helped the author grieve her mom's death, Gastro Obscura by Cecily Wong and Dylan Thuras takes readers to each continent to learn about its cuisine. In interviews with NPR's Ari Shapiro, Zauner and Wong talk about how food shapes our worlds.

Doug Miles talks with Cecily Wong co-author "Gastro Obscura: A Food Adventurer's Guide" on "Talk Across America". Book link available at www.dougmilesmedia.com.

The author and writer joins the show to discuss foods and beverages from around the world, which is talked about in her new book, "Gastro Obscura: A Food Adventurer's Guide" https://www.amazon.com/Gastro-Obscura-Adventurers-Guide-Atlas/
