How do you continue to choose love when marriage brings disappointment, failure, and unmet expectations? And how can God's grace sustain a family through the valleys of loss, grief, and the refining seasons of life?For Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman, more than 40 years of marriage have brought both extraordinary joy and unimaginable pain. As Steven's music has impacted generations of listeners, the Chapmans have also walked through deeply personal struggles—including the tragic loss of their adopted daughter, Maria.

Today’s unforgettable archival conversation with Elvia Wilk was recorded in-person in 2019 on the occasion of the release of her debut novel Oval. Wilk takes questions of self and other, nature and culture, human and non-human into the dystopic near-future and into the realm of both philosophy and narrative. We discuss her writings outside of the novel about weird fiction, the literary movement called The New Weird, and how she herself often writes about weird (but real) endeavors that blur the natural and the artificial or that flip our preconceptions on our head. From exploitation and exclusion in the art world to global climate apocalypse, Wilk’s weird fiction makes us see the world frightfully anew. As McKenzie Wark says, “J. G. Ballard meets William Gibson meets Jeff VanderMeer. Oval is an up-to-the-minute story about the twilight zones of corporate design, aesthetics, pharmacy, and bioengineering, where there's nothing consultants won't break in the quest for ‘innovation.' What could possibly go wrong? Find out in Elvia Wilk's crisp and stylish debut book.” For the bonus audio, Elvia contributed a reading of the first half of a speech she delivered at an ecology symposium, her talk called “Death by Landscape.” This joins an ever-growing archive of contributions from past guests—of readings, translator conversations, craft talks, music, soundscapes and more.

In this edition of The Charlie James Show on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, host Charlie James breaks down major international security developments, national political battles, and local South Carolina electoral politics. The broadcast leads with an extensive analysis of a dramatic attempted hijacking of a Flydubai flight en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv. James details how the plane sharply descended 17,000 feet after a co-pilot stabbed the Indian lead pilot, who despite severe injuries unlocked the cockpit door. Passengers and an off-duty crew stepped in to subdue the attacker and safely land the aircraft—without a functional rudder—in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. James ties this event to broader global security concerns, referencing suspected Iranian state-sponsored terrorism and a recent UK counter-terrorism investigation at RAF Fairford. He highlights a 25-page political message directly issued to the American public by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ahead of the midterms. Shifting to the domestic front, James examines political and economic trends. He argues that key economic metrics—such as cooling inflation, strong private job growth (+90,000 in September), and revised GDP figures—are being downplayed by mainstream media outlets. The show includes lively listener call-ins debating gas prices, interest rates, and the Senate filibuster. James also zeroes in on local and national political contests, criticizing Democratic candidates like Annie Andrews in South Carolina and highlighting upcoming campaign events featuring Senator Darling Graham. Throughout the show, James urges conservative voters to remain vigilant, active, and united ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

James and caller Richard discuss the tragic rise in violent crimes involving children and lament the broader societal lack of accountability and moral decay.

In the '60s, thousands of young rock n' roll hopefuls picked up instruments and took to the garage to play music that was loud, raw, primitive, and spiked with attitude. It was a sound that was later branded as "garage rock", and it became massively influential when these wild records were rediscovered by a new generation of bands through seminal compilation albums like the Lenny Kaye-curated Nuggets compilation (Elektra, 1972). Many bands included garage rock staples in their repertoire and released cover versions, which is our focus today. One of the songs on the Nuggets album that grabbed younger listeners by the jugular was "Let's Talk About Girls" by The Chocolate Watchband, with its driving rhythm, fuzzed-out guitar, and snarling vocals. What many didn't realize was that the Watchband's version was a cover of a 1967 song by Tucson, Arizona garage punks The Grodes (released under the name of The Tongues of Truth), written and sung by the band's guitarist/songwriter and this week's Third Lad Manny Freiser. From 1965-1968, The Grodes racked up a series of local hits and future garage classics, including the oft-covered "Cry A Little Longer", "Uh Huh Girl", and "Love Is A Sad Song". After the demise of the band, Manny and his second wife Patti McCarron headed west to LA to record as the folk-rock duo Fire & Rain, best known for their Billboard Top 100 version of Barbara Lewis's "Hello Stranger". While working as a record executive for A&M Records in the '80s, he also recorded as the mysterious Ian Messenger, and continues to write and record new material. If that weren't enough (oh yeah, did we also mention he was an attorney?!?!), he's recently chronicled his life through the end of the '60s in his memoir Tracks in the Sands of Time. It's a warm, witty, nostalgic, and sometimes lascivious tale of the other side of the era - from the perspective of someone who didn't quite "make it big" but has plenty of stories to tell. It's an entertaining and fascinating page turner that will leave you thinking, "what happened next?" Fortunately, Volume 2 is coming soon! Learn more about your ad choices.

In episode 190 of the Guitar Music Theory podcast, I share an update on my Fretboard Theory books, including the newly redesigned covers and updated Amazon listings. I also look back at how the books got started, how they developed over the years, and the role they played in the growth of Guitar Music Theory. Then I answer listener questions about pentatonic scales, scale fingerings, building calluses, and picking technique. Topics include: • What scales can you play over a 1-6-5-4 chord progression in E major? • What's the relationship between E major pentatonic and C# minor pentatonic? • How often should you practice to build and maintain calluses without tearing up your fingertips? • Do pentatonic scale fingerings really matter? • Why your fingerings change when you start playing actual riffs and solos. • Should an experienced fingerstyle guitarist learn to use a flatpick for lead guitar? • When does it make sense to work specifically on picking mechanics? • How can you adapt your guitar playing when dealing with de Quervain's tenosynovitis or other hand and wrist limitations?

During the second hour of The Charlie James Show on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, host Charlie James addresses a series of pressing local and national issues, beginning with a safety warning regarding the unregulated herbal supplement kratom following the deaths of two University of Mississippi students. Callers weigh in on the availability of kratom at local gas stations and vape shops, discussing its legality and potential health risks when combined with other substances. The discussion then shifts toward religious and political commentary, as Charlie criticizes progressive Christian churches and political candidate James Talarico, arguing that certain progressive theological views compromise core Christian doctrines. Finally, the segment highlights international news, focusing on a strategic military and economic agreement signed between the United States, Denmark, and Greenland, which secures long-term American military presence and limits rival foreign influence in the Arctic region.

In this episode of The Charlie James Show airing on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, host Charlie James opens by welcoming autumn and diving straight into Donald Trump's address at the United Nations General Assembly. Trump's remarks focus heavily on opposition to international institutions like the International Criminal Court, his views on protecting children from transgender medical interventions, concerns over religious persecution against Christians worldwide, and a newly signed trilateral security agreement involving Greenland, Denmark, and the United States. The primary focus of the episode then shifts to local news in Spartanburg, South Carolina, regarding the planned Valero data center. Callers express frustration over updated projections revealing the facility will require between 1.2 and 1.6 million gallons of water per day—a significant jump from initial estimates of under 500,000 gallons. Callers and the host debate closed-loop cooling systems, evaporative water loss, potential noise pollution from backup diesel generators, and local governance accountability. Additional topics include federal laws surrounding home alcohol distillation versus home brewing, shifting cultural dynamics, and changing political landscapes as the 2026 midterms approach.

In this episode of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James opens by noting the transition into autumn before shifting focus to major local and global political developments. He highlights former President Donald Trump's address at the United Nations General Assembly, praising his strong stances against international bodies like the International Criminal Court, human rights critiques, and foreign policies regarding Iran, Cuba, and Mexico. The core local discussion centers on Spartanburg County's Velera data center project. Charlie and caller base analyze the facility's drastically revised water consumption estimates—jumping from 459,000 gallons per day to up to 1.6 million gallons daily—raising community concerns over utility capacity, local infrastructure strain, and environmental impacts.

Today’s archival episode with Marlon James was recorded in 2019 at the studios of KBOO community radio. Marlon’s latest book The Disappearers has garnered the most talked about book review of this year, from the New York Times book critic Dwight Garner (who isn't known to gush). Not only did he say it should be talked about alongside Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom, Morrison's Song of Solomon, and Rushdie's Midnight's Children, Garner also called it one of the signal reading experiences of his adult life, a masterpiece, the novel of the decade and possibly of the century so far. The book we discussed seven years ago now, was James' move into fantasy and myth, a novel that won the 2020 Locus Award for Best Horror, Black Leopard, Red Wolf. The science fiction and fantasy author and critic Amal El-Mohtar, perplexed by all the comparisons of it to George R.R. Martin and J.R.R. Tolkien suggested at the time that it was more as if Toni Morrison had written Ovid's Metamorphoses: “Painful and strange, full of bodies shifting from personhood into meat, and somehow, always, still, upsettingly beautiful. This isn’t Tolkien’s grief-stricken melancholy, or Martin’s calculating, character-forward plot mechanics; it’s horror and tragedy by way of fantasy, nothing discrete, everything penetrating everything else. Reading Black Leopard, Red Wolf was like being slowly eaten by a bear, one inviting me to feel every pressure of tooth and claw tearing into me, asking me to contemplate the intimacy of violation and occasionally cracking a joke.” For the bonus audio archive Marlon reads his essay “Why I’m Done Talking About Diversity (or, Why We Should Try an All-White Diversity Panel).” We also added his 2015 Tin House Summer Writing Workshop craft lecture “The 9 and 1/2 Rules of Seduction” to the archive. These join many contributions from past guests including Ted Chiang, China Miéville, N.K. Jemisin, Joe Sacco, Naomi Klein, Carl Phillips, Dionne Brand and many others.

In the final hour, the broadcast focuses on economic indicators, global diesel prices, and energy markets before hosting an extended interview with South Carolina Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Annie Andrews.

New York City Public Schools announced one of the most restrictive AI policies in the country, and LAUSD followed with a quiet moratorium of its own. For any company selling AI-powered tools into K-12, this isn't background noise anymore. It's a sign that the ground rules are being rewritten in real time, and positioning needs to keep up.At the same time, October is arriving with a full plate. Conference season, award deadlines, and the usual run of thematic days are all stacking on top of each other. It's worth asking a harder question before the calendar takes over: which of these deadlines actually matter, and which ones are just habit?This field notes episode covers what's moving fast right now, the AI policy shifts landing in New York City and Los Angeles, the conference and award deadlines worth prioritizing this fall, and what actually earns a response on LinkedIn.What You'll Learn1️⃣ Why NYC and LAUSD's AI policies matter beyond their own districtsNew York's policy sounds like a blanket ban, but it's more nuanced than the headlines suggest. Teachers can still use AI to plan lessons, translate, and communicate with families, they just can't use it to grade, decide who graduates, or counsel a student in crisis. LAUSD's own moratorium on student use of generative AI arrived quietly enough that it reportedly surprised its own school board. When the country's largest districts move first, others tend to follow.2️⃣ What's worth prioritizing on a packed fall conference and awards calendarDA Awards entries close October 1st, EdTech Week runs October 13th - 14th, FETC's prices increase October 30th, and SXSW EDU's Launch competition deadline is November 1st, on top of national conferences like NCTM in Denver and CGCS in Boston. This episode breaks down which deadlines are worth building a strategy around, rather than trying to hit everything.3️⃣ What new findings say about getting a response to a LinkedIn connection requestRichard Vanderblom's poll and analysis found that a "helpful" message, one that references something specific about the person's post, is what actually gets a response. It's a small shift, but one that changes how outreach on the platform should be built.Why It MattersEducation marketers are heading into one of the busiest stretches of the year with less room for error than usual. Districts are rewriting AI policy in real time, marketing calendars are more crowded than usual, and the platforms relied on for organic reach keep changing what earns attention. None of this is a reason to freeze.

China Miéville’s much-anticipated new book The Rouse is twenty-one years in the making. He was writing it when he wrote The City & The City and Embassytown. He was writing it when he wrote October: The Story of the Russian Revolution and A Spectre Haunting: On the Communist Manifesto. He was writing it when he wrote children’s books, comics and his latest collaborative novel with Keanu Reeves. In other words, this novel is not only itself about epochs, and the end of them, but also itself spans many eras and iterations of China’s own life and writing life. Together we look at his many interests over the past two decades—Marxism and monsters, apophatic theology and the nature of consciousness, the failure of language, the power of it, the eerie and spooky, the terror and the horror of all that goes bump in the night—in relation to The Rouse itself. As part of writing his 1200-page-plus new novel, China read many other big books for inspiration—from Gravity’s Rainbow to Mosquito. For the bonus audio archive China discusses one of his favorite’s: Miss MacIntosh, My Darling by Marguerite Young and reads an excerpt for us. This joins bonus material from many past guests including Ted Chiang, N.K. Jemisin, Carmen Maria Machado, Vajra Chandrasekera, and adrienne maree brown, to name a few. You can find out more about subscribing to the bonus material and about all the other potential benefits and rewards of joining the Between the Covers community as a listener-supporter, at the show’s Patreon page. Finally, don’t miss the BTC BookShop corresponding to today’s conversation, brimming over with all the books China references and discusses today.  And while you are at it, for your general book needs, be sure to browse the Milkweed Bookstore BookShop as well.

What if the biggest retirement risk isn't running out of money, but being too afraid to spend the money you worked decades to build? Personal finance icon Jean Chatzky joins Bill and Jackie to tackle the psychology and math behind turning a lifetime of savings into a Forever Paycheck. Jean shares her own late-start reset after losing her father, getting divorced, and getting fired within a single year. She then explains why retirees often happily spend Social Security and pensions while fiercely protecting their investment balances. Together they explore Jean's tools that can create both security and permission to spend. Jackie even runs her own numbers and discovers her forever-income gap might be surprisingly easy to fill.  This episode covers  Jean Chatzky's own financial reset after a series of major life changes at 40  Why retirees can become surprisingly reluctant to spend their accumulated savings  The "decumulation gap" and the psychology behind creating a retirement paycheck  How to build a "moat budget" around essential expenses and important wants  How risk tolerance and FOMO can shape your retirement-income strategy  Why Jean changed her long-held opinion about annuities  How home equity, insurance, HSAs, and other assets can become retirement resources  Why late starters need forgiveness, benchmarks, and trusted guidance, not perfection . === SUPPORT  THE  SHOW ===
