Podcasts about Coming of age

This week on the Erotic Thriller Club it's our bi queen Kit's birthday so we're revisiting an important movie from her own coming of age tale! Is it an erotic thriller? Debatable...

Host Meg Wolitzer presents two stories about secrets that are just beneath the surface of the narratives and lives of the characters.  In Walter Dean Myers' “The Beast in the Labyrinth” children must conceal their real selves in a hostile society.  The reader is Jelani Alladin.  And the Shirley Jackson classic “The Lottery” demonstrates how the inconceivable can become the norm in a community if everyone accepts it.  The reader is Amy Ryan.

A collection of credo statements from our Coming of Age youth as shared during the May 4, 2025 service led by Rev. Joanna Lubkin.

The last day of summer vacation is one you never want to end... that is until you find yourself stuck in a time loop repeating it over and over again! This is the fate that Takaya and Kana find themselves faced with, and when the only reason Takaya can come up with for the loop is his regret of not finding a girlfriend over the holidays, the two teens find themselves in an awkward situation! What begins as a seemingly shallow conceit quickly blooms into a heartfelt journey. "The Long Summer of August 31st" by Ikkado Ito delivers a coming-of-age story that has more to say about human connection and growth than it does about the space-time continuum.Join Mat and Behind The Manga's WinterVenom91 as they delve into Takaya and Kana's evolving relationship, explore the manga's poignant themes of youth and regret, and discuss how they were pleasantly surprised to find genuine emotional depth beneath the sci-fi premise. Discover why this time loop tale stands out in a crowded genre!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Find the DDNavi Interview with Ikkado Ito referenced in the episode (warning: minor spoilers for the series!) here.Find Venom's review of the book that inspired Mat to pick up the book here.Thanks to Juliano Zucareli for our theme music!Find us on:X: Manga Tak PodBluesky: Manga Tak PodInstagram: Manga Tak Pod

Long before becoming an award-winning educator, public speaker, and podcaster (of BFF: Black, Fat, Femme), Dr. Jonathan P. Higgins (aka Doctor Jon Paul) was just a kid sneaking movies while mom was at work. One of those films, 1993's This Boy's Life, became one of their favorites. That was in large part thanks to the aspirational friendship of main character Tobias "Jack" Wolff (Leonardo DiCaprio) and the closeted but undeniable Arthur Gayle. Doctor Jon Paul and Jordan discuss the film, the new book Black. Fat. Femme: Revealing the Power of Visibly Queer Voices in Media and Learning to Love Yourself, and transformational power of intersectional friendship and storytelling.Speaking of intersectional storytelling, Jordan has one quick thing about the new Ryan Coogler heater, SINNERS.***With Jordan Crucchiola and Dr Jon Paul Higgins Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen?

THE TRIPLE HEADER IS OVER.....A slow build by Piastri has seen him lead the title race for the first time, but don't discount Max, this title is a 3 horse race at worst. Williams have turned a corner. The pre season hype has come to fruition and a double points. The sky is the limit in 2025.  Lewis is losing it. And with Williams pushing the envelope, Fred would be scratching his head and this point. 2 years on a contract......never say never. And for the first time since Japan 2010 an Australian leads the title race, simply put, can he win it all? All the plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Finding Balance at the Cova: A Journey Beyond Success Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2025-04-20-22-34-02-ca Story Transcript:Ca: La cova de Sant Ignasi dormia tranquil·la a l'ombra dels boscos de Manresa.En: The cova de Sant Ignasi lay quietly asleep in the shadow of the boscos de Manresa.Ca: El suau ressò dels ocells i el murmuri del riu donaven la benvinguda a Jordi i Laia, armats amb els seus llibres i apunts per preparar-se per l'examen final.En: The gentle echo of the birds and the murmur of the river welcomed Jordi and Laia, armed with their books and notes, as they prepared for their final exam.Ca: El José somriure de Laia es reflectia en les parets humides, mentre ella intentava encoratjar el seu amic.En: Laia's smile was reflected on the damp walls, as she tried to encourage her friend.Ca: "Jordi, quina vista més bonica, oi? Podria relaxar-se una mica entre llibre i llibre," va dir Laia amb un to juganer.En: "Jordi, isn't it a beautiful view? We could relax a little between books," Laia said with a playful tone.Ca: Però Jordi estava completament immers en els seus papers, amb el cap ple de dates, teories i problemes matemàtics.En: But Jordi was completely immersed in his papers, his head full of dates, theories, and math problems.Ca: Volia ser el millor, ser reconegut per la seva dedicació.En: He wanted to be the best, to be recognized for his dedication.Ca: Tanmateix, li costava amagar el cansament als ulls.En: However, he found it hard to hide the exhaustion in his eyes.Ca: "Necessito treure la millor nota, Laia. Això és important per al meu futur," va respondre, intentant no sonar massa dur.En: "I need to get the best grade, Laia. This is important for my future," he responded, trying not to sound too harsh.Ca: Laia el va observar, preocupada.En: Laia watched him, concerned.Ca: Ella també tenia ganes d'aprovar, però sabia que un equilibri era necessari.En: She wanted to pass too, but she knew that balance was necessary.Ca: A mesura que el sol del migdia es colava per les fissures de la cova, il·luminant rostres de sants en les formes de les pedres, una idea va començar a brollar en el cor de Jordi.En: As the midday sun trickled through the fissures of the cova, illuminating faces of saints formed by the stones, an idea began to bloom in Jordi's heart.Ca: Potser, només potser, afluixar la corda li permetria respirar millor i aclarir la ment.En: Perhaps, just maybe, loosening up would allow him to breathe better and clear his mind.Ca: Sense dubtes grans, va tancar els seus llibres, respirant profundament, sentint la frescor de la cova.En: Without great doubts, he closed his books, taking a deep breath, feeling the coolness of the cova.Ca: "Em sembla que tens raó, Laia. Anem a fer una passejada," va proposar amb un somriure tímid.En: "I think you're right, Laia. Let's go for a walk," he suggested with a shy smile.Ca: Van sortir a l'exterior, envoltats per l'exuberant verdor de la primavera.En: They went outside, surrounded by the lush greenery of spring.Ca: El cant dels ocells i la brisa suau els embolcallaven, i per primera vegada des de feia temps, Jordi va deixar de costat la pressió que pesava sobre les seves espatlles.En: The birds' song and the gentle breeze enveloped them, and for the first time in a while, Jordi set aside the pressure weighing on his shoulders.Ca: "Què faràs després dels exàmens?" va preguntar Laia, mirant-lo als ulls amb entusiasme.En: "What will you do after the exams?" Laia asked, looking at him with enthusiasm.Ca: "M'agradaria viatjar, descobrir nous llocs. I tu?" va respondre Jordi, sorpresa per les paraules que sortien dels seus llavis gairebé sense pensar.En: "I'd like to travel, discover new places. And you?" Jordi replied, surprised by the words that came from his lips almost without thinking.Ca: "Jo també somio amb això. Viure aventures, conèixer gent nova... potser podem fer-ho junts," va proposar Laia amb un riure alegre.En: "I also dream of that. Live adventures, meet new people... maybe we could do it together," Laia proposed with a cheerful laugh.Ca: Jordi va sentir una calidesa que no provenia només del sol.En: Jordi felt a warmth that didn't come only from the sun.Ca: Aquell moment en la cova, amb la riquesa de la història amarant les seves parets i amb la companyia de Laia, li va fer adonar-se que l'èxit acadèmic no era l'única cosa que importava.En: That moment in the cova, with the richness of history soaking its walls and with the company of Laia, made him realize that academic success wasn't the only thing that mattered.Ca: Quan van tornar a la cova, amb nous ànims i una perspectiva renovada, Jordi sabia que havia trobat una part important de si mateix —un equilibri entre la feina i el gaudi, entre els somnis i la realitat.En: When they returned to the cova, with renewed spirits and perspective, Jordi knew he had found an important part of himself—a balance between work and enjoyment, between dreams and reality.Ca: Jordi i Laia van reprendre els estudis, però aquesta vegada amb una confiança i una serenitat que no havien tingut abans.En: Jordi and Laia resumed their studies, but this time with a confidence and serenity they hadn't had before.Ca: I mentre repassaven junts, Jordi va agrair aquell dia a la cova de Sant Ignasi, que els havia unit i els havia donat una nova visió de la vida.En: And as they reviewed together, Jordi was grateful for that day at the cova de Sant Ignasi, which had united them and given them a new vision of life.

On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Will Masters, a Professor in the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, with a secondary appointment in Tufts University's Department of Economics. They talk about U.S. tariffs on imported goods, how measuring the cost of a healthy diet can drive policy change, and the frustrating setback the world is seeing in efforts to advance global food and nutrition security. Plus hear about the recent remarks from the U.S., calling for a “back to basics” approach at the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, where funding for humanitarian aid stands after additional cuts, and one journalist's advice for young people.

  The message was delivered on Sunday, April 6th, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by 19 of our all Souls 9th graders. Remarks by Rev.Dr. Marlin Lavanhar. What if the search for meaning isn't about choosing the “right” path, but understanding the many ways people find purpose? How does belief—or disbelief—shape how we live, love, and leave a legacy? Through raw honesty, humor, ancestral reverence, and unexpected wisdom from sources like Kanye West and Mr. Rogers, a group of young thinkers share what they've discovered about spirituality, morality, and the complexity of being human. Each voice offers a distinct lens, yet together they ask the same enduring question: what truly connects us?    

Kat Crosswell lives in Oakland. Her coming of age novel for middle grades, called, "Pieces of Eight: A Harper Family Mixtape," came out in July 2024.

Mean Girls, directed by Mark Waters and written by Tina Fey, is a cult classic teen comedy based on Rosalind Wiseman's book Queen Bees and Wannabes. The film humorously yet accurately portrays the harsh realities of high school social dynamics, focusing on cliques, peer pressure, and the impact of popularity on self-identity. The story follows Cady Heron, a homeschooled girl navigating the cutthroat social hierarchy of public high school life after moving from Africa. As she infiltrates "The Plastics," the school's most popular clique, Cady faces a moral dilemma that tests her values, self-image, and relationships. Though often comedic, the movie sheds light on serious issues like bullying, conformity, and the challenges of adolescence. In this episode, Kevin Stoller, Nancy Shapiro Rapport, and Steven Shapiro discuss the movie through the lens of parenting and education. They explore the challenges faced by kids and parents in today's society, particularly focusing on the mental health crisis and the breakdown of family structures. The conversation delves into character analyses, the impact of school environments, and the importance of emotional health in raising children.   Takeaways: Consistent, intentional conversations about values and behavior are essential for raising resilient, emotionally healthy children. Small, deliberate actions can lead to significant, long-term results. A strong family culture, built on open communication and shared values, can help children navigate social pressures and define their identity. Parents need to engage in ongoing discussions about kindness, respect, and self-worth. Technology has fundamentally changed how teens communicate and form relationships. Setting boundaries around device use and fostering in-person connections can help counteract the isolating effects of screen time. Adolescence is a time of self-discovery, and social interactions can be intense and confusing. Understanding the pressures teens face helps parents provide better support. Schools can support parents by reinforcing positive behaviors and values, while communities can provide a support network for parents navigating the challenges of raising children. Comedy can be an effective way to connect with teens, understand their world, and initiate meaningful conversations. Movies like Mean Girls use humor to highlight real issues in adolescence.     About Steven Shapiro: Steven Shapiro is a veteran school reimaginer, with over 30 years of K-12 classroom teaching experience, 15 concurrent years as a high school humanities program director, and four years as a district leader of experiential learning. Steven is the host of the acclaimed podcast Experience Matters. He delivers keynote presentations on topics including supporting parents in the digital age, addressing the youth mental health crisis, and designing authentic learning experiences. Steven and his wife Susan are the proud parents of three adult children.   About Nancy Shapiro Rapport: Nancy spent the majority of her 34-year public-education career as a school counselor, supporting students and parents in navigating the challenging “middle years.” Her leadership roles in professional development and crisis management showcased her ability to identify needs, empathize with various stakeholders, and deliver results. As a certified Hudson Institute coach, Nancy has extensive training in coaching and human development. She has taught courses on learner mindset and question thinking, helping adults pursue a life of curiosity, inquiry, and possibility. Nancy brings a wealth of experience in both child and adult learning to her role as co-founder of Our Family Culture. Most importantly, she is the proud parent of two adult children, Emily and Jacob.     Learn More About Our Family Culture: Website: https://ourfamilyculture.org/     Connect with Steven Shapiro: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-shapiro-experience-matters/   Connect with Nancy Shapiro Rapport: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancysrapport/   Connect with host, Kevin Stoller: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinstoller/     Episode 226 of the Better Learning Podcast Kevin Stoller is the host of the Better Learning Podcast and Co-Founder of Kay-Twelve, a national leader for educational furniture.

What happens when your father creates a cult, and you're left to raise yourself in a decaying mansion filled with spiritual seekers and chaos? That's the world of Naked Girl, the powerful novel by Janna Brooke Wallack. In this conversation, Janna delves into the unconventional childhood that inspired her book, her thoughts on generational parenting shifts, and how she channeled her own emotions into compelling fiction. Set in 1980s Miami Beach, Naked Girl follows siblings Sienna and Siddartha as they navigate life within their father's bizarre, cult-like commune. Through their eyes, we experience the beauty, danger, and loneliness of growing up in an unpredictable world.

Stone Productions presents Spring Awakening, a Tony Award-winning musical that tells the story of young people navigating the complexities of adolescence in 1891 Germany. Set in a world where adults control all aspects of life, it follows Wendla, a curious girl exploring the mysteries of her body, and Melchior, a brilliant yet rebellious boy who challenges societal norms. Their accidental meeting sparks a passionate and forbidden connection. Meanwhile, their friend Moritz struggles with puberty and academic pressure, leading to a tragic end. As the adults fail to understand or support them, the young lovers must confront societal expectations and build their own future. With its electrifying rock score and exploration of rebellion, sexuality, and self-discovery, Spring Awakening offers a powerful celebration of youth in a time of strict repression. Produced by Stone Productions, this remarkable show invites audiences into a world of youthful defiance and coming-of-age struggles.

This week we are joined by returning guest Ashley Casseday (Keep It Weird/The Losers Club)! For Garrett and Ashley this movie welcomed them into adulthood far too soon. Kit on the other hand was finally able to transition into adulthood after seeing this for the first time in her mid 30's! It's time to breakout those scratched up Full Screen Unrated DVD's and see how much you actually remember from this bizarre 90's classic!

Author Constance Squires returns to Rock is Lit to discuss her debut novel, ‘Along the Watchtower', a powerful coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of military life, Cold War Germany, and rock ‘n roll.  ‘Along the Watchtower' follows thirteen-year-old Lucinda Collins as she arrives at a U.S. military base in Grafenwoehr, West Germany, in 1983. She knows the drill—setting up new quarters, navigating her parents' tensions, and keeping fellow Army brats at arm's length, knowing friendships won't last. She longs for a true home, but her father is haunted by Vietnam, and her mother is growing weary of Army life. As her family fractures, Lucinda finds solace in rock ‘n roll and begins to forge her own path to adulthood. Set against the ever-changing backdrop of military life, ‘Along the Watchtower' is a story of belonging, resilience, and the ghosts—both real and remembered—that shape us.  Constance Squires teaches creative writing at the University of Central Oklahoma. In addition to ‘Along the Watchtower', she is the author of ‘Live From Medicine Park' and the short story collection ‘Hit Your Brights', with work published in ‘The Atlantic', ‘Guernica', ‘The Dublin Quarterly', ‘Shenandoah', ‘Identity Theory', ‘The Rolling Stone 500', and more. Her brand-new novel, ‘Low April Sun', was published by the University of Oklahoma Press on Feb 11, 2025!
