Discover the five craft techniques that make morally gray characters impossible to put down—so you can write complex, compelling figures readers will argue about, defend, and love despite everything.Morally gray characters are some of the most memorable in fiction. Think Cersei Lannister (Game of Thrones), Kaz Brekker (Six of Crows), Severus Snape (Harry Potter), or Amy Dunne (Gone Girl). These are the characters readers can't stop thinking about long after the book is finished.But what actually makes them work? It's not randomness or shock value. And it's definitely not just "bad person with a sad backstory." It's intentional craft.In this episode, I'm breaking down five tips for writing morally gray characters that feel authentic, nuanced, and impossible to look away from—whether you're writing fantasy, thriller, romance, or any other genre.You'll hear me talk about things like:[02:45] What "morally gray" actually means and how it differs from the antihero—so you can stop conflating the two and start building true moral complexity.[04:25] How to create a character worldview that justifies their actions, including the role of backstory, goals, and the personal code that reveals what they truly value.[07:51] Why lose-lose dilemmas are essential for morally gray characters—and how to construct impossible choices that test your character and keep readers emotionally invested.[10:05] The importance of letting your character make questionable choices with real consequences—and why softening the gray undermines everything you've built.[12:50] How to keep readers invested in a morally gray character even when their choices are hard to stomach (hint: it's not about making them likable).[14:54] The redemption arc trap most writers fall into—and why the best morally gray characters don't get "fixed" by the end of the story.If you've ever struggled to write a complex antagonist, a flawed protagonist, or a love interest readers can't quite root for but can't look away from either, this episode will give you the tools to craft morally gray characters with confidence and intention.

Air Week: January 19-25, 2026 George Goldner, Pt. 2 – Gee Records It’s part 2 of our 3 part series on record man, George Goldner. He is said to have had the “golden ear” for hit records and songwriter Jerry Leiber even complimented his talent for picking hit songs by saying that Goldner had, “the musical taste of a fourteen-year-old-girl.” Born to Jewish immigrants in 1919, Goldner’s first love was Latino dance music and he began his career by opening night clubs and starting Tico Records, a Latino label in 1948. By 1953, he was interested in Rhythm & Blues and began releasing records under the Rama subsidiary. We featured Rama Records in part 1. This week, the “Juke In The Back” with Matt The Cat will take a close look at Goldner’s second R&B label, Gee Records. It’s been said that the label was named after the huge success of The Crows single, “Gee” on Rama Records, but it’s more likely that he named the Gee label after himself. Gee was very vocal group focused and we’ll hear seldom-played classic records from The Coins, The Five Crowns, The Valtones, The Debonaires and The Quintones. Goldner scored the biggest and most influential hit of his entire career on Gee with “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” by The Teenagers featuring 14 year old Frankie Lymon. The late, great Herbie Cox of The Cleftones was in Goldner’s office when the Teenagers auditioned as The Premiers and we’ll hear Herbie recall that story as well as how the Cleftones came to sign with Goldner. Next week, we’ll close the series with a spotlight on Gone and End Records, Goldner’s last 2 labels under his stewardship. LISTEN BELOW

"Unentitled" It's hard to think of anyone who writes with as much tender ease as John Gorka. The New Jersey-born singer/songwriter has been doing just that since his first album way back in 1987. Over the course of nearly twenty albums, including Jack's Crows, The Company You Keep, Old Futures Gone and his brand new one Unentitled, Gorka has gracefully asserted himself as one of the most vital folk artists around. He's traveled the world, he's played with Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin and Cliff Eberhardt and he formed the folk supergroup Red Horse with his pals Lucy Kaplansky and Eliza Gilkyson. Unentitled is yet another winning entry into the Gorka discography--a stirring collection of songs like the elegant "First Snow On The Mountain," the ruminative "A Light Exists In Spring" and the deeply assuring "Hope Doesn't Fall," Unentitled is filled with poetic and philosophical grace. And what I was saying at the top of the show is that Gorka is a thoughtful and humble guy who's generous, humble and kind. You're going to love him. www.johngorka.com www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com Stereo Embers: IG + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Air Week: January 12-18, 2026 George Goldner, Pt. 1 – Rama Records We begin a multi-part series on record man, George Goldner. He is said to have had the “golden ear” for hit records and songwriter Jerry Leiber even complimented his talent for picking hit songs by saying that Goldner had, “the musical taste of a fourteen-year-old-girl.” Born to Jewish immigrants in 1919, Goldner’s first love was Latino dance music and he began his career by opening night clubs and starting Tico Records, a Latino label in 1948. By 1953, he was interested in Rhythm & Blues and began releasing records under the Rama subsidiary. This week, we’ll take a close look at Goldner’s first R&B label, which helped put Rock n’ Roll on the musical map with the 1953 smash, “Gee,” by New York vocal group, The Crows. “Gee” crossed over to a very respectable #14 on the pop chart and just might be the first Rock n’ Roll hit by a Rock n’ Roll group. From there, Goldner signed The Wrens, The Valentines, The Joytones, The Heartbeats, The Harptones and other NY groups that are now considered vocal group royalty. His house band was led by the tenor great, Jimmy Wright, who put his sax stamp on all these classic records for Goldner’s various labels. Next week in part 2, Matt The Cat will focus on Gee Records as we continue our look into the ground-breaking labels of George Goldner.  LISTEN BELOW

Send us a textDave and Candace kick off the first show of 2026 feeling the burn after a brutal leg day and posing session, leading to a realization that despite being born in the 1900s, they can still hang with the younger generation. The couple recaps their New Year's Eve at a Western-themed murder mystery party at Falcon Lake, where Dave went full investigator mode and Candace took home a prize.The conversation takes a deep dive into the strange world of Artificial Intelligence. Dave shares two mind-blowing AI discoveries: one involving deciphering the complex language of crows (and the grudges they hold), and another analyzing the Shroud of Turin, which suggests a massive energy surge created the image.On the home front, the stakes are high as Candace is entrusted with babysitting her uncle's prized 10-year-old orchid—currently residing in a Chapman's ice cream pail—while Dave prepares to use AI to help him finally quit nicotine. Finally, things get serious as they discuss the recent regime change in Venezuela before lightening the mood with some nostalgia regarding Anthony Hopkins and 90s cinema.Support the showFollow us on social media: Dave Wheeler Candace Rae

Send us a textIn today's episode, I'm chatting with Sami Young - a mom, wife, PE teacher, and avid reader who is perpetually caught between just one more chapter and not knowing what to read next. She's a proud millennial with a TBR list taller than my houseplants, and you might remember her from Episode 63, when she joined me alongside her son, Jarek.Episode Highlights:How Sami keeps a book with her everywhere she goes, even when reading time is short.What her real-life reading routine looks like right now and why nighttime has become her go-to.Easing into audiobooks by co-reading with a print copy.Why she likes to switch genres between books instead of reading the same kind back-to-back.Reflecting on reading aloud to her son when he was younger and how that shaped his love of reading.What it's like to be a family of re-readers (and why their bookshelves are always full).Savoring quiet reading moments - like sitting in the sunshine with a book and wishing it could last forever.Show NotesSome links are affiliate links, which are no extra cost to you but do help to support the show.Books and authors mentioned in the episode:Alan Gratz books (book recs in Ep. 6 with Lilianna)Six of Crows by Leigh BardugoHarry Potter series by J.K.

Since the founding of America's first centralized modern intelligence agency during World War II, today's guest Anthony Vinci says that current agencies have undergone several revolutions in how espionage was done. But Vinci says we're in the midst of a fourth revolution, changing the rules of espionage for nations and non-state actors alike.In this episode of From the Crows' Nest, host Ken Miller is joined by Vinci, a former intelligence officer and author of “The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of Espionage and the Battle to Save America.” Vinci says new asymmetric approaches to espionage combined with emerging technology has democratized intelligence, putting civilians at risk and threatening to leave America's agencies at a disadvantage if they don't adapt.To learn more about today's topics or to stay updated on EMSO and EW developments, visit our homepage.

In this episode of From the Crows' Nest, Ken Miller is joined by Mike Alperi, Deputy Program Manager of PMS 408 Expeditionary Missions Program Office at the Naval Sea Systems Command, to talk about his involvement in NATO Subgroup One and its cross-country collaborative Thor's Hammer exercise — an initiative that allows systems from different nations to be tested side-by-side against cutting edge UAS and IED threats.Alperi says the annual four-week program has greatly expanded over the last decade, growing from five participating nations in 2015 to 14 countries last year. Crucially, he says the scope of Thor's Hammer has grown over the years, from just counter-ID and counter-UAS training to countering emerging small radio frequency threats. Alperi says the subgroup shares the information from these tests with participating countries around the world, making sure key allies have the best information available as EW technologies continue to rapidly evolve.To learn more about today's topics or to stay updated on EMSO and EW developments, visit our homepage.

You and Tom spend this episode unpacking a surprisingly liberating idea for investors: that average is good enough. Kicking off with your own story about a two-star podcast rating, you two stumble into a bigger truth—most people are chasing a level of portfolio perfection that doesn't matter. Christine Benz's Morningstar piece becomes the backbone of the discussion, contrasting “maximizers” (engineers, tinkerers, over-optimizers) with “satisfizers” (simple, diversified, sane). From there you hit Tesla's trillion-dollar pay package drama, Bito's goofy “dividends,” SGOV vs. CD ladders, fears about private equity sneaking into retirement plans, and a few classic Don-and-Tom tangents. The message: stop overthinking, build a sensible portfolio, and go live your life. 0:04 Don's two-star review existential crisis and the epiphany about doing things for joy 1:16 Why being “average” in investing (and life) is perfectly fine 1:45 Elon Musk compensation debate and ETF shareholders not getting a vote 3:12 Don's “brilliant raving lunatic” take on Elon and Tesla's dominance 4:38 The kings of tangentiality finally introduce the show 5:55 Christine Benz and the “Good Enough Portfolio” philosophy 6:36 Maximizers vs. satisfizers explained (plus Bogle bobbleheads) 8:53 Why over-optimization rarely improves results 9:56 Happiness and second-guessing: satisfizers win 11:22 Time costs, tax worries, and the illusion of finding a perfect portfolio 12:33 Two-fund vs. ten-fund portfolios and why simplicity works 13:55 Working harder doesn't usually make you richer—your job does 14:25 Listener letter: long-time fan from Silverdale reminisces about 1988 15:26 Tom recalls being put on the air after several glasses of wine 16:03 Acorns user asks about BITO's wild “dividends” 18:10 Why BITO's payouts are actually return of capital and cannibalization 19:58 BITO's volatility roller-coaster (standard deviation 53) 20:12 SGOV vs. CD ladders for short-term retirement cash 22:07 Why emergency funds shouldn't sit in a Roth IRA 22:58 Listener concerned about private equity creeping into 401(k)s 23:52 PE risks, political pressure, and greater-fool concerns 25:27 Don thanks listener “AlwaysLearning1953” for the positive review 26:49 Murder of Crows, sound effects, and the power of scary crows 27:36 New Tales Told update—more stories on the way 28:38 Saturday live show reminder and flyover banter 28:58 Don's Kansas/Leavenworth childhood story detour Learn more about your ad choices.
