His latest novel, Under Occupation, was published in 2019. Alan Furst's career took off with his novel Kingdom of Shadows in 2000, the sixth book in his series of stand-alone novels about heros and villains in Europe in the years leading up to, and including World War II.

She discusses the challenges of overcoming fear, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome, particularly as a woman in a male-dominated field. Michelle emphasizes the importance of accountability, resilience, and the power of perspective in achieving success. Her new book, 'Flipside,' aims to help others turn fear into fuel and embrace their potential.

Michelle "Mace" Curran is a former Thunderbird fighter pilot, author, keynote speaker, and entrepreneur dedicated to empowering others to rise above self-doubt and tackle imposter syndrome head-on. Having flown elite missions and taken on leadership roles within some of the Air Force's most demanding teams, Michelle now leverages her experience to inspire audiences across the country. Through her transition from high-performing military aviator to entrepreneur and thought leader, she's passionate about helping others find their own “because,” lead with trust, and push through fear to leave a real legacy. Michelle's story is one of courage, resilience, and authentic leadership—on and off the runway. Takeaways: Imposter syndrome is universal—even experienced leaders deal with it, and the first step to overcoming it is simply acknowledging it and talking about it openly. Building a high-performing team starts with trust and psychological safety, not just traditional authority—leaders who model vulnerability and accountability foster the strongest cultures. Facing your fears and making progress doesn't require massive leaps; start taking “small, bold choices” to move toward your goals and let your confidence grow one step at a time. Sound Bites: "The number of experienced leaders who come up after my keynotes and say, 'I feel imposter syndrome every single day'—it's more common than you think." "Trust isn't just a military thing; it's the foundation of every high-performing team. When errors aren't hidden, they're learned from immediately." "Naming your inner critic gives you power over it—it's about recognizing when that voice shows up…and choosing not to listen."

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues Chelsea Quinn Yarbro (1942-2025) Tanith Lee (1947-2015) This program honors two master practitioners of horror, fantasy and science fiction, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and Tanith Lee, with two interviews back to back. In the first, in 1983, Tanith Lee is interviewed by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. In the second, in 1979, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro is interviewed by Richard Wolinsky. Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, who died on August 31, 2025 at the age of 82, was best known for her historical horror novels featuring the vampire the Count Saint.-Germain. Along the way, she wrote in several genres, including science fiction and westerns, and wrote over seventy novels, along with several short stories. Along with her writing, which includes a series of books about a channeler, titled Messages from Michael, she was a cartographer, palm reader, and composer. In 2009, she received the Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award from the Horror Writers Association. She also wrote novels under several pseudonyms. In this podcast, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro joins Richard A. Lupoff to speak with Tanith Lee. In the second interview, she talks about her vampire hero. Count Saint-Germain, and about writing historical horror fiction. It was recorded shortly after her second San Germain novel, The Palace, was published, which would put it in late 1978 or early 1979.. Tanith Lee, who died of breast cancer in 2015 at the age of 67, also wrote fantasy, science fiction and horror, and her work is considered to be similar and a forerunner of the work of Neil Gaiman. She received a lifetime achievement award from the World Horror Convention in 2013. Nominated for several awards for her novels and short stories, she won the 1980 British Fantasy Award for her novel, Death's Master. In this first undated tnterview from Probabilities, most likely recorded at BayCon in San Jose in November 1983, Tanith Lee is interviewed by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and Richard A. Lupoff. This is the only interview conducted by Quinn Yarbro for Probabilities. Tanith Lee's novel set during the French Revolution was eventually retitled The Gods Are Thirsty, and was finally published in 1996. You've been listening to an interview with Tanith Lee, conducted by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and Richard A. Lupoff for the Probabilities radio program on KPFA.

KPFA Theatre Critic Richard Wolinsky reviews the national tour of “Stereophonic” at Broadway SF Curran Theatre through November 23, 2025. TEXT OF REVIEW What does it take to put together a hit rock album, especially if the band itself seems to be falling apart, particularly the two couples that comprise most of the group? How do you separate the personal from the professional when you're stuck in a recording studio for months? Those questions lie at the heart of the Tony winning play with music, Stereophonic, now in its national and London touring production at BroadwaySF's Curran Theatre through November 23rd. The unnamed band in the play is fictional, barely. The year is 1976, the studio is in Sausalito, and the group bears a remarkable resemblance to Fleetwood Mac, on their way to recording the album “Rumours,” a resemblance so close that the playwright, David Adjani was forced to settle a lawsuit with a chronicler of the band, though publicly he denies it all. He says he wanted to create a kind of live documentary, unfolding before the audience's eyes. The actors sing and play their own instruments; the soundboard on stage is a working soundboard, the playbacks are not pre-recorded and taped during the play's performance. It's a play, it''s live, and it puts you fifty years in the past. The set is the studio in Sausalito, in front, below, the ‘70s era recording console, and above and behind, seen through solid glass, the recording studio itself. The real studio was small and a little grungy. So is the studio at the Curran. Stereophonic begins quietly, there's no sudden darkening of the theater. The actors have been on stage for a little while, and now they're talking while waiting for their bassist to come in, likely stoned and drunk. They've just received word the budget has increased, and their time making the album is unlimited. The character Diana's solo track is back on the charts, and so is the last album. We listen in as they chat about their work, get stoned together, drink a bit, have arguments; both couples break up and make up, the music is dissected and re-recorded. The inexperienced engineer Grover, a very good Jack Barrett, does his best through the madness We learn about each band member, their relationship to each other, and to art itselfl. The acting and performing are impeccable. This really could be a successful band, and their songs hits. Stereophonic is quite long, almost 3 hours, still 20 minutes shorter than on Broadway, but it needs the time to warm up, to get in synch with the characters. The build-up is slow, but paying close attention, Stereophonic can become an exhilarating night in the theater. The national tour of Stereophonic plays at BRoadwaySF ‘s Curran theatre through November 23. For more information, you can go to broadwaysf.com. I'm Richard Wolinsky on Bay Area Theatre for KPFA.

"After over four decades of touring and recording, it's truly special to see this anniversary release come to life," Curran says. "The artwork, rare photos, and the discovery of the Cleveland Agora live audio from our very first show in the USA add a perfect finishing touch for the band and our dedicated fans.” Dixon adds, "Our show at the Redwood Theatre will be the first time presenting the mighty Hatch sound in an Unplugged & Acoustic format. Still intense, with the same tightness and power that all these years together have built, but with more nuance and emphasis on the songs and vocals. We have some surprises planned and we can't wait to show off our skills in a new setting!” I sat down on ZOOM to Chat with founding member and bass player ANDY CURRAN to talk about the re-issue of the bands debut album, touched on some Andy Curran Solo material and a shout out to local band SUICIDE STAR for the remake of MONKEY BARS

Today's episode is a can't-miss if you work with children with developmental language disorder (DLD) or developmental language delays. I'm sharing my #1 most powerful responsive language strategy—one that works with every child on your caseload, regardless of temperament. We're going beyond basic expansions and simple recasts. Instead, I'll show you how to transform simple sentences into complex ones by adding finite clauses—what I like to call “clausing.” You'll hear about peer-reviewed research from: Gillian Steel et al. (2016) – demonstrating how complex sentence deficits persist in DLD. Amanda Owen Van Horne et al. (2023) – showing how targeting complex sentences drives broader language gains, including grammatical morphology. You'll also learn practical ways to apply “clausing” during play, art, snack time, and book reading without memorizing verb lists or forcing structure—just natural, responsive modeling that works.

Between 1991 and 1993, the dismembered bodies of five gay and bisexual men were discovered in garbage bags along the highway in New York and New Jersey. The cause of the death for each was multiple stab wounds, and each victim had been disarticulated into eight pieces and placed in eight garbage bags before being deposited into trash barrels, where they were quickly discovered by a curious member of the public. Despite being discovered in different locations in different states, it didn't take long for investigators to identify the similarities between the victims. They were all older men, single or separated, and all had been seen last around closing time at various New York gay bars. Moreover, the scant evidence found with each bottom appeared to connect the murders back to Staten Island, but told detectives nothing else about the killer. Then, in late 1993, the murders simply stopped and the case went cold.The case of the man the press dubbed “The Last Call Killer” sat on a shelf for nearly a decade before a team of cold case investigators picked it up again, determined to make progress. In the years that passed, advances in technology had allowed for the collection of previously unseen evidence, and it was thanks to that technology that the case was finally solved.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesBen-Ali, Russell, and William Rashbaum. 1993.
