Recently LeVar Burton suggested today's picture book on an episode of The Sporkful ("Reheat: LeVar Burton Even Reads Recipes Dramatically") and in spite of the fact that Kate was dead-on about the fact that we should have done this book for a Thanksgiving episode, we're doing it, baby! Enemy Pie was a Reading Rainbow Book back in the day, how does it hold up now? We talk about How to Eat Fried Worms, how boomerangs were the drones of the 80s (and I will stand by that statement), and the joy of eating a pie small enough to fit between your eyebrows.

This episode is brought to you by Toddle.Tim's work as a leader with the National Association of Independent Schools provides him with frequent exposure to schools and how they take innovative approaches to technology and learning, examples of which he discusses in this episode. Tim and the hosts also talk about "productive struggle", keeping things simple, and seeing AI not for what it does but for what using it then allows us to do (with the time AI can save us).

Today on Boston Public Radio: Chuck Todd begins the show by unpacking Tuesday's election, including what Glenn Youngkin's win for Virginia mayor means for Democrats and the role of education as a dividing issue. Todd is the moderator of “Meet the Press,” host of “Meet the Press Daily” on MSNBC and the political director for NBC News. Then, we ask listeners about their reactions to the election, including Youngkin's win and Boston Mayor-elect Michelle Wu's win. Andrea Cabral talks about why only one Black juror was chosen in the trial of Gregory McMichael, Travis McMichael and William Bryan, who shot Ahmaud Arbery in February 2020. Cabral is the former Suffolk County sheriff and the former Massachusetts secretary of public safety. She is currently the CEO of the cannabis company Ascend. Paul Reville weighs in on why he maintains hope following Tuesday's election, and his thoughts on Wu's education plan. Reville is the former Massachusetts secretary of education and a professor at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education, where he also heads the Education Redesign Lab. His latest book, co-authored with Lynne Sacks, is “Collaborative Action for Equity and Opportunity: A Practical Guide for School and Community Leaders.” Tori Bedford discusses her recent reporting on Mass. and Cass following Acting Mayor Kim Janey's executive order, including the state of arrests, tent clearings, and proceedings at a makeshift courthouse in the Suffolk County House of Correction. Bedford covers Boston's neighborhoods, including Dorchester, Roxbury and Mattapan for GBH. Jon Gruber draws parallels between the government in the hit Korean show “Squid Game” and the United States, including who viewers and voters find culpable for poverty and why rich countries fail to care for their poor. Gruber teaches economics at MIT. He was instrumental in creating both the Massachusetts health-care reform and the Affordable Care Act, and his latest book is “Jump-Starting America: How Breakthrough Science Can Revive Economic Growth And The American Dream.” We end the show by asking listeners whether they would eat insects, which was proposed as a solution to the environmental effect of farming at the U.N. Climate Summit in Glasgow.

Today we review the 2006 classic How to Eat Friend Worms
In this episode of The Literary Life, Cindy and Angelina interview Greg Wilbur. A composer, music minister, and the president of New College Franklin, Greg has also been friends with both Cindy and Angelina for several years. After sharing their commonplace quotes, and all the meaty discussion that surrounded the topics in those quotes, Cindy asks Greg when he became aware that he was a reader. Greg talks about growing up in a reading family, as well as the influence of his high school English teacher. During his college years, Greg minored in English, and he tells about his favorite professor and the great works he had the privilege to study. Cindy, Angelina and Greg chat about building a library without letting reading and book-buying becoming too much of an obsession. Greg also talks about his strategies to keep reading widely and get himself out of a reading slump. Angelina and Greg agree on the value of reading for pleasure as well as work and keeping track of what type of books you are dipping into daily. Cindy also asks Greg the million dollar question--to name a few of his favorite authors. Arabia by Walter de la Mare Far are the shades of Arabia, Where the Princes ride at noon, 'Mid the verdurous vales and thickets, Under the ghost of the moon; And so dark is that vaulted purple Flowers in the forest rise And toss into blossom 'gainst the phantom stars Pale in the noonday skies. Sweet is the music of Arabia In my heart, when out of dreams I still in the thin clear mirk of dawn Descry her gliding streams; Hear her strange lutes on the green banks Ring loud with the grief and delight Of the dim-silked, dark-haired Musicians In the brooding silence of night. They haunt me — her lutes and her forests; No beauty on earth I see But shadowed with that dream recalls Her loveliness to me: Still eyes look coldly upon me, Cold voices whisper and say — 'He is crazed with the spell of far Arabia, They have stolen his wits away.'

Today on The Neil Haley Show, The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Kimberly Wiliams-Paisley of “Darrow & Darrow: In the Key of Murder,”. Kimberly Williams-Paisley has been starring in film, television and theater for over 25 years. Now a New York Times Best Selling Author, Williams-Paisley has garnered praise and admiration across the film, television and publishing arenas. She first lit up the screen as the radiant young bride in the comedy feature film series Father of the Bride and Father of the Bride Part II. Other film and then television roles followed, including the co-starring role of Dana on the ABC comedy series “According to Jim.” By the time that series concluded its impressive eight-season run, Williams-Paisley had fully evolved in her role opposite Jim Belushi and Courtney Thorne-Smith, increasing her involvement in the production by directing three episodes of the show. She went on to star in such films as How to Eat Fried Worms, the film adaptation of the popular young children's book opposite Tom Cavanagh; the Warner Bros. feature We are Marshall for director McG opposite Matthew McConaughey; and the indie film Undiscovered Gyrl, co-starring Christian Slater and Martin Sheen. Most recently she was seen in the latest installment of the popular Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise for Fox 2000, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip,co-starring Jason Lee and Tony Hale.
In this replay of episode 9 Sarah talks about 3 books with young, male protagonists. First, she looks at the Fudge Series by Judy Blume, which centers on Peter and his little brother "Fudge." Fudge is little, cute, and opinionated, 3 things that drive Peter up the wall. Next, she talks about How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwell where two boys make a bet that one of them can't eat 15 worms in 15 days. Grossness and hilarity ensue. Finally, she talks about the first book in Rachel Renee Russell's new series. Her protagonist is Max Crumbly, and things start out a little rough for him when he gets shoved in his locker by the class bully, but what Max does next makes him a fun and unlikely hero.As always, if you enjoyed the show, follow us and subscribe to the show: you can find us on iTunes or on any app that carries podcasts as well as on YouTube.
