New York Times bestselling author Sarah A. Parker joins us to talk about The Ballad of Falling Dragons , the sequel to When the Moon Hatched , covering Raeve's identity arc, Kaan's transformation, and the craft behind the Moonfall Series. Sarah walks us through what it was like to return to the complexity of the Moonfall world and how she balanced world-building, romance, and plot across both books. We talk about Raeve's journey , specifically how themes of identity and self-ownership that were so central to When the Moon Hatched continue to evolve in the sequel, and what readers should watch for in Kaan Vaegor's arc after the dramatic ending of book one. We also get into the craft side of Sarah's writing: her use of format as a storytelling tool, what she's most proud of in The Ballad of Falling Dragons, and a candid conversation about Raeve's relationship with the Creators and what that storyline may (or may not) reflect about mental health. Whether you're deep in your When the Moon Hatched reread before the sequel drops or discovering the Moonfall Series for the first time, this one is for you. The Ballad of Falling Dragons releases May 19, 2026. Topics covered: Returning to the Moonfall world to write the sequel How identity and self-ownership evolve in Raeve's arc Balancing world building, plot, and romance across both books Kaan Vaegor's transformation since When the Moon Hatched Sarah's proudest craft moments in The Ballad of Falling Dragons Raeve, the Creators, and mental health representation in fantasy The Subtext Society Journal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thesubtextsocietyjournal.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  We're thrilled to announce our newest venture: The Subtext Society Journal—the first of its kind, dedicated to Romance, Romantasy, and fandom with an academic yet accessible voice.

Fernando Mateo and Jake Novak criticize major New York cultural institutions for hoarding massive endowments while continuing to charge the public high admission fees. They argue that these tax-exempt museums act like "dragons" sitting on piles of wealth, suggesting that the billions of dollars in untapped funds should instead be used to provide free access for residents or to support struggling public services. The conversation highlights a perceived misuse of charitable status, claiming that these organizations prioritize executive salaries and risky investments over their civic duty to the community.

Yomiuri Giants vs Chunichi Dragons 5/9/26 NPB Japan Betting Tips by Ron Crawford.

A deep dive conversation based on the moviescramble.co.uk review written by Mary Munoz. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a 2023 fantasy heist comedy film directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, who co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Gilio from a story by Chris McKay and Gilio. Based on the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, it is set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting and has no connections to the previous film trilogy released between 2000 and 2012. Starring Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, and Hugh Grant, the film follows bard Edgin Darvis (Pine) and barbarian Holga Kilgore (Rodriguez), who enlist a team of unlikely heroes to steal an ancient and powerful relic but come into conflict with evil forces.

Also known as the “Philosopher Queen,” Barb is a longtime friend of our show and a complete force to be reckoned with in the beauty business.

Trevor Greene, was wounded in Afghanistan by the Taliban while serving there.Barb then sowed the seeds of what would become a historic social enterprise and commercial success story, buying fair-trade essential oils from farmers in war-torn regions to make perfumes for peace — and now The 7 Virtues is in 2,000 Sephora stores around the world.Tune in to hear about:What makes a viral moment: why The 7 Virtues “Santal Vanille and “Amber Vanilla” were the clean perfumes to pop off on TikTokWhy “Vanilla Woods,” launched in 2018, was years ahead of the gourmand trend, and what makes it the brand's bestseller to this dayWhat makes a fragrance “clean” anyway?

From rock and roll stage designer, to opening a million pound restaurant on credit, to sitting on the original Dragons' Den panel, and now launching his memoir Yo Man at 74.Simon Woodroffe  operating principle is simple. Say Yes first, figure out how to deliver second. He also breaks down the Three Fs funding model: friends, family and fools. Why he put 100 percent of his own money on the line before raising. Why selling 30 percent to a VC quietly saved Yo! Sushi from running out of cash. And why a 1 percent royalty has earned him more than every shareholding combined.Key topics covered: How Simon Woodroffe built Yo! Sushi into an 850 million dollar exit The Three Fs funding model and why seed funding beats raising too early Why you cannot do market research in a market that does not exist How to build credibility before you have it Why nobody came to Yo! Sushi for a week, then queues lasted five years Scaling Yotel into a global hotel group with 500 million dollars of Starwood capital Why planning your exit three years out matters Key takeaway: The founders who go the distance say yes first and figure out how second.Sponsored by Incard — Sponsored by Incard.

In this episode, we sit down with Levi Levenfiche, co-founder of Perfect Ted, the UK's fastest growing matcha brand, who went from funding the business with his own paychecks to negotiating million pound deals with Steven Bartlett. Levi breaks down the reality of building a food and beverage business from a kitchen table, why 99% of startups fail and the odds are even worse in F&B, and how Perfect Ted went from pretending to be a cafe to order matcha samples to becoming the largest matcha brand in the UK by consumption. He explains why they ignored every piece of advice telling them not to launch in Holland & Barrett, how they had four days to get their numbers ready for Dragons' Den, and why knowing your financials inside out is non negotiable if you want to survive the den. We dive deep into what happened after Dragons' Den aired, why it took nearly a year to sign the deal with Steven Bartlett that was shown in minutes on TV, and how they navigated negotiations when the business was doubling month on month. Levi reveals why Stephen isn't the type of investor who grills every number but focuses on brand and storytelling, how accountability changes everything when you're managing someone else's money, and why compromise is the foundation of any successful partnership.

European rugby finally delivered the chaos it's been promising. Bigs joins Jim and Goodey to break down a weekend of semi-final action, with two blockbuster finals now locked in. From Bordeaux's ruthless efficiency dismantling Bath, to the growing controversy around French TV coverage and TMO decision-making, there's plenty to get stuck into. Leinster grind out a statement win over Toulon, showing a less flashy but more resilient edge that could see them finally get their fifth star.

Dr Guy Sandleowsky spent six years becoming a vet. He was seeing 20 to 30 pets a day. He was heading toward a specialist surgery career. And he chose to walk away.Not because it was not working. Because it was not enough. He wanted to help hundreds of thousands of animals, not dozens. And he believed a business could get him there.In this episode of Screw It Just DO It, Guy explains how he left a clinical career everyone around him supported to do an MBA no one thought he needed, how he co-founded Omni using novel proteins to address a dog health crisis most owners do not know exists, and what happened when he and his co-founder walked into Dragons' Den with a dog that immediately ate six portions and was sick on camera.Key Takeaways:- Why the moment that almost stopped him was not failure but fear of wasted sacrifice- How 91% approval from raw-meat-feeding dog owners proved the product before a single ad was spent- What Stephen Bartlett and Deborah Meaden actually said when the cameras stopped rolling- Why Guy has refused to hide who he is despite losing investment deals because of it- The practical advice for anyone sitting on a business idea while still in a job

Where do orcs really come from? In this episode of the Asians Represent! podcast, Daniel and Drew sit down with Dr. Christopher LeCluyse, a professor of literature, media, and writing at Westminster University to discuss his new book, Race & Monstrosity in Dungeons & Dragons. Chris' work traces how depictions of “monstrous races” in the game are rooted in more than 2,000 years of history and how these influences continue to shape how race functions in the game. From ancient Greek descriptions of headless monsters to J.R.R. Tolkien's hierarchy of fantasy beings, this episode maps a clear picture of how real-world racial stereotypes became embedded in the DNA of fantasy gaming. CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of racism, colonialism, violence, and the portrayal of monstrous races in fantasy media. In this episode, we cover: How Tolkien and Gygax "inherited", rather than invented, racial frameworks The parallel between the drow "evil black matriarchy" trope and the concurrent rise of the "welfare queen" stereotypes in American politics How race and power are manifested in early AD&D rules How 5th edition D&D's revised rules represent real progress, and where that work is still incomplete Alternative design approaches that deconstruct essentialism and gives players narrative agency over their ancestry Check out Race & Monstrosity in Dungeons & Dragons when it comes out next month - https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/race-and-monstrosity-in-dungeons-dragons/.

Send us Fan MailSome of the most disturbing cases aren't defined by mystery…they're defined by warning.This week on Nerdery & Murdery, Zig dives into Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, exploring the game that shaped modern tabletop roleplaying and inspired generations of players long before RPGs went mainstream.Then in the Murdery, we continue our A–Z journey across America's serial killers, arriving at Colorado; not as the site of a final crime, but as a critical point of failure.This episode examines the life and crimes of Joseph Edward Duncan III, a man repeatedly identified as dangerous, repeatedly supervised, and repeatedly allowed to move on. Colorado was one of the last places where intervention could have stopped what came next.This isn't a story about the unknown. It's a story about documented risk…and delayed action.Support the show
