And I'm Jewish, and always love to support my people. And I'm from Boston, so I had to give a shout out to The Writer, a comic book set in Boston and rooted in Jewish folklore. Created by brothers Ben and Max Berkowitz of the Legal Sea food dynasty, but it was their paternal grandfather, Nathan Glick, who inspired their love of comic books. The brothers teamed up with Grammy-winning and Tony-nominated actor Josh Gad to create the graphic novel. I have not read it, but I love the idea of taking deep Jewish folklore that's been around for thousands of years and making it like an Indiana Jones adventure. They are celebrating Jewish identity and its broad array, and I think it's an important story for our times. The Writer, a comic book, available now.Topics Discussed(1:10) Welcome!(3:10) The Canna Nana Favorite Podcast(3:40) Amie's Favorite Things(3:55) Joyce Favorite Thing – Beautiful Ashtray(4:20) Dave Describing Ashtray – Purchase on Etsy(5:10) The Culture Corner – The Writer(6:45) Canna Mom Superhero – Canna Comics(7:15) Guests Introductions(8:30) Welcome Everyone!(8:45) Names, Locations and How Do You Know About TCMS?(9:45) Musical Salute to Joyce(13:34) Kristin Souza Intro(14:56) Dr. Benjamin Caplan Intro(15:30) Connecting TCMS with The Boston Podcast Network(16:15) The Podcast Garage(17:20) Joyce's Favorite Episode – The Canna Nana(19:19) Season One in The Pandemic(21:25) Podcasting Advice from Dave(23:45) What Dave Learned About Cannabis(25:15) Autism and Cannabis(26:45) Dave's Favorite Way to Consume(27:50) Kristin Souza Talks About TCMS(30:30) Creating Social Media for TCMS(32:45) Future Ideas for The Canna Mom Show Legacy(37:20) What Kristin's Doing in Connecticut(38:04) Cannabis Corner Radio(39:25) Dr. Benjamin Caplan Introduction(44:49) Cannabis Science(45:25) Dr. Caplan's Podcast(46:06) Real Stories from Real People(48:05) The Green Table Podcast(50:30) A Boy and A Vape Pen(53:45) Questions for Joyce(55:12) Kindness and Curiosity in Cannabis(58:33) Thank You and Goodbye! The Canna Mom Show wants to thank:Josh Lamkin and Bella Jaffe for writing and performing TCMS theme music and Fortuna Design for creating TCMS website and Sugar Leaf Creative for marketing and social media.

The Podcast Superfriends dive into the things they want you to stop doing when making podcasts. Here are a few of the things they want you to stop. Jon Gay: Asking for ratings and reviews at the end of a podcast is less egregious but still not effective. Matt Cundill shares his frustration with the common practice of including a microphone in podcast artwork, citing it as a cliché and a missed opportunity for creativity. Catherine O'Brien suggests dropping the teaser at the beginning of a podcast and getting straight to the content. Johnny Podcasts is pro teasers at the front of his podcast, believing they help set the tone and emotionally invest listeners in what's to come. David Yas emphasizes the importance of quality audio for podcasts, particularly in terms of microphone and internet connection. Also, all the hosts share their disdain for the Blue Yeti Microphone.

No Friday episode today with the holiday, so here's a "5 Minute Wednesday."As 2019 ended, my wife and I were trying to maximize our time with our first dog Brady. He'd had a leg amputated and was dying of cancer.  We were extremely lucky to have him as long as we did, and he wasn't suffering.  But as the months wore on, this cloud hung over our head.  We always wondered, "will today be the day he decides he's ready to leave?" That's how we spent the last quarter of 2019, with New Year's Eve fireworks being the moment that he decided to give up the fight.  New Year's Day, we had the whole family over to say goodbye, and that's what we did the morning of January 2nd.  My wife and I looked at each other and said, "we're gonna chalk this up to 2019, the worst year ever.  2020 will be better, and it starts now."Famous last words, right?You don't need me to tell you how bad 2020 has been.  We've been isolated, we've lost friends and relatives, jobs, and more.   And as we approach the holiday tomorrow, maybe the advice of "Be thankful for what you do have, it's 2020" rings hollow.   Maybe you're struggling and it's not easy to have "perspective."But at the risk of being cheesy, be grateful not to appease your mother, or your friend who's had it worse than you this year, but for yourself.  According to Positive Psychology.com - the health benefits of gratitude are countless.  They include a reduction in depressive symptoms, a drop in blood pressure, improved sleep, and just overall well being.  https://positivepsychology.com/benefits-gratitude-research-questions/I'm not here to preach perspective.  But in this giant turd-burger of a year, we could all use a pick-me-up.  Find something, however small, and be thankful - not for anyone else, but for your own physical and mental health.With that in mind, if you'll indulge me for a moment.   I'm thankful, of course, for my health and my business, and the fact that my wife and I are both still working.  And of course I'm thankful for her - we've been here together, all day, every day, in our small house for the last 8 months...and here's the thing.  We still LIKE each other.  In fact, it's been the running joke.  I really can't think of another person on the planet I could have been confined with for this long and still genuinely like.   And we are almost through our big pandemic project - 220 episodes of the Hawaii Five-O reboot down, 30 to go.  Because you gotta have goals.  Also, I'm thankful for our new dog, Jules.  She's the sweetest thing ever...shows pure love, and keeps us honest and moving, with twice daily walks of 2 miles or more.This year in particular, I'm grateful for all things podcasting.  The ability to record remotely, some amazing clients - both new and established - and the fact that after leaving a career I knew for almost two decades, I was able to find my new passion in the field.   I'm also thankful for my peers in podcasting and podcast editing.  There's Steve Stewart's Podcast Editors Club on Facebook, Editing courses from Carrie Caufield Arick, Tom Kelly, and Tanner Campbell, and of course my monthly meetup with Catherine O'Brien in Baton Rouge, Johnny Peterson in Fort Worth, Matt Cundill in Winnipeg, and David Yas in Boston.  In fact, Johnny's podcast this morning about thankfulness, in part, inspired today's show.I was listening to The Daily from the New York Times this morning - they profiled a food bank in New York City.  There was a woman who had fallen on hard times and was so thrilled to get cucumbers for salad and chocolate milk for her kids.  Look, there's no doubt that 2020 has been anything BUT sunshine, puppies, and rainbows.  But find something - anything - to be grateful for.   As we prepare for a long winter, we have to take care of our mental health.  So be thankful - not because someone told you to.  But because it will help.Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours.

Really enjoyed chatting with the guy who does what I do - but in the town I grew up in. David Yas runs Pod617, the Boston Podcast Network.  We begin with his eclectic background as a lawyer, in the newspaper business, and more - and how he got into podcasting.In forming the Boston Podcast Network, David really cultivated an eclectic group of talent, including radio veterans, comedians, and other local personalities.David shares the story of one of his favorite interviews, when Whitey Bulger's attorney, Jay Carney, told him all kinds of stories about Whitey's past.  This leads to a discussion of the art of interviewing - and letting your guest talk, as opposed to sticking to the script.We also get into how the Coronavirus pandemic has affected David and his business - how he's pivoted to working with clients remotely.  We look at how that might affect podcasting in the future in terms of in-person vs remote recordings, and how other emerging technologies could impact the industry.David actually started a program where he sends microphones to clients that are recording remotely. He explains the thought behind that.We take a look at Squadcast, Izotope, and wonder why professional broadcasters aren't taking the small steps to sound and look good - when it's so easy to do so!Finally, I would be remiss to not ask David how The City of Champions is coping in a world without sports.Resources:Whitey Bulger Interview:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whitey-bulger-lawyer-jay-carney-2015-interview/id975404594?i=1000422894120&fbclid=IwAR3dX2oKz8QJ3kjoTqJ9NS2ZRK7KeH_iMdVx-MFkS_tmrcBmIT0oPE-fjNgPod 617 Website: https://pod617.com/The Boston Podcast: https://pod617.com/boston-podcast/My interview with Mick Foley: https://link.chtbl.com/jagmickfoleyMy website: https://jagindetroit.com/

Tomorrow (May 19th), I'll be releasing my interview with David Yas, of Pod617 and The Boston Podcast network.  We discussed the art of interviewing, and I referenced the one interview I did where I just shut up and let the other person do all the talking - when I interviewed Mick Foley before Wrestlemania XXX in New Orleans.  If you followed WWE in the 90's and 2000's, Mick will have you hanging on his every word. I know I was.

Patent litigation has taken off in recent decades. While many of the most visible patent lawsuits are initiated by major technology companies seeking to gain leverage over competitors, an increasing number are brought by patent trolls—firms that acquire patents with no intention of developing a technology with them, but instead use them to threaten practicing companies with litigation over alleged infringements. In this BU Law podcast, host David Yas, a BU Law alum, former publisher of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly and a V.P. at Bernstein Global Wealth, joins James E. Bessen, lecturer in law at Boston University School of Law and a faculty associate at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard, to talk about his paper, The Private and Social Costs of Patent Trolls. Together they discuss the economic impact of the surge in lawsuits by patent trolls, the potential for legislation to solve this problem, and how the patent war is ultimately affecting innovation.

Collins, Associate Professor of Law at BU School of Law, to spotlight the Supreme Court case Flores-Villar v. United States, the importance of gender equality in citizenship laws and reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision.

The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land, and throughout history, legal provisions like the First Amendment and Second Amendment have taken center stage.

In this edition of the BU Law podcast, host David Yas, a BU Law alum, former publisher of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly and a V.P. at Bernstein Global Wealth, welcomes law professor and humorist Jay Wexler to discuss his new book, The Odd Clauses: Understanding the Constitution Through Ten of its Most Curious Provisions.

Bridges, associate professor of law at BU School of Law and associate professor of anthropology, to discuss her new book, Reproducing Race: An Ethnography of Pregnancy as a Site of Racialization.

When we're sick, our immediate response is to go to the doctor, and often times we're given antibiotics to combat the ailment. There's a growing problem today, which is that many microbes that cause infections in people are becoming resistant to antibiotics.

They take a look at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s initiative to curb the overuse of antibiotics, the current legislation involving antibiotics and prescription privacy and how legal incentives can be used to address this public health issue.
