Ashley Elston joins us for our first “Bookaccino Live” Book Group event of 2025 to discuss her debut novel for adults, FIRST LIE WINS. This #1 New York Times bestseller and Bookreporter Bets On selection is now available in paperback. Ashley talks about her writing process, which includes the brown butcher paper that lines her walls along with colored Post-it notes, and working with the software program Scrivener. Her past career as a wedding photographer enhanced her writing skills, and she explains how. She shares how the story's twists and turns came to her, as well as the reveals and how to keep the tension up. Ashley also recalls how excited she was when the book was named a Reese's Book Club pick (which she had to keep secret) and what the past year has been like. Yes, it's been a whirlwind. And she talks about what's next for her.

Last year saw markets rally strongly, powered primarily by growth stocks. Aside from some volatility earlier this week, that bullish trend has continued this year, with growth stocks again leading the way.  As most of you would know, every year we conduct a survey as part of our Outlook Series, where we ask a host of questions, including “What is your favourite growth stock?”  This year, nearly 5000 of you shared your thoughts with us across the Livewire and Market Index platforms, and in this first episode of Buy Hold Sell for the new season, you're in for a real treat.  We're going to run the ruler over five of your most-tipped growth stocks.

- Harry Wismer- Elston HowardIn 1958, Elston Howard was in his fourth season with the New York Yankees, solidifying his role as a key player on the team. This was a standout year for Howard, as he earned his second consecutive All-Star selection and helped the Yankees win the World Series. At 29 years old, Howard was hitting his stride, batting .314 with 11 home runs and 66 RBIs in 103 games that season.This radio interview captures Howard during a pivotal time in his career. Just three years earlier, in 1955, he had broken the color barrier for the Yankees, becoming the first African American player on the team. By 1958, Howard had established himself as a versatile player, primarily catching but also playing outfield and first base. His performance was crucial to the Yankees' success, as they clinched their fourth World Series title in five years, with Howard playing a significant role in the championship run.#ElstonHoward #NYYankees #1958WorldSeries #BaseballIntegration #AllStarCatcher

František Elston sa narodil v Prahe v asimilovanej židovskej rodine ako Epstein. Meno si zmenil neskôr v Británii, aby lepšie zapadol do prostredia, našiel si ho podľa telefónneho zoznamu. Jeho otcovi sa podarilo pre neho získať falošný rodný list, a preto sa dostal s Wintonovými transportmi do Anglicka. Po maturite nastúpil k letectvu, slúžil pri 313. perute. Pri havárii lietadla bol vážne zranený a utrpel trvalé poškodenie zraku, ktoré jeho leteckú kariéru významne obmedzilo. Po vojne sa vrátil znova do Československa, z jeho početnej rodiny prežil iba otec. V máji 1948 emigroval so svojou ženou do Anglicka, pracoval ako stomatológ. V roku 1989 sa vrátil do Československa. Ospravedlňte prosím zníženú kvalitu záznamu pamätníka.

In celebration of 20 years of Road Less Traveled Productions, Executive and Artistic Director Scott Behrend and Managing Director Gina Gandolfo spend a little time reminiscing and appreciating their partnership. Included are memories of all that went right due to hard work, as well all that went unexpectedly awry along the way. It's a tribute to two primary forces who created, from the ground up, and maintained, in the face of myriad challenges, a completely new and award winning theater in downtown Buffalo. Also featured is an interview with Jon Elston who, as a co-founder, was there at the very beginning, and whose life changed utterly because he made the fateful decision to travel the “road less taken.”

Mike and Rico begin the 4th hour resetting the Brad Holmes conversation, with the guys standing by their takes that they will not be content with the Lions not making huge moves this offseason. Then, they finish out the show joined by Wojo and Riger where they find out Michigan D-Line coach Mike Elston will be following Jim Harbaugh to the Chargers.

Things Discussed: Lost Herbert: Recruiting against Jim is tough. DC: Zach Orr has a couple of NFL opportunities now so figuring that out will be the most important thing. Concerned that this administration is going to Bennie Oosterbaan Sherrone Moore's program. Needs to not just support but lead the transition to a new version of the college football landscape. Beefing up recruiting department: can criticize Jim Harbaugh here because he spent recruiting jobs on hires like Stalions and Shemy. Sherrone going hard for ND's Chad Bowden. Fended off Harbaugh for Grant Newsome, fighting for Elston. Warde: His "transformational not transactional" interview was the end for us; he's not the guy for the future. Transactional means fair; when you say you don't want that you're saying you don't want the players getting a fair deal. Michigan's culture doesn't have to be these 1930s ideas. Hunter Dickinson would be here if we had this working right. There's more in the tank: Michigan's Athletics department doesn't need to be taking money for naming buildings. NCAA dysfunction has to be part of this. We should be leading the way towards fixing the system, not pretending the old system still works. Players don't benefit from everyone being a free agent because it makes them all replaceable. That system sucks for everybody because there's no investment in the players, there's less time to get to know your system, and nobody's getting an education. Right now we're hanging onto a system that's already dead, falling into a terrible oligarchic system. System should be one that forces the universities to be stuck with the players they get, because it makes them responsible for the player's education and development. Right now the NCAA is antithetical to the higher ideal the NCAA was set up. Seth: communist economies—that's what the NCAA model is—require a black market. The cheating is part of the system. What we're seeing is the fall of that system, and what Michigan should be doing is leading the way to a new system. How? Pay our players to be in a Super Bowl commercial advocating for a player's union, which we start here. Seth & Brian argue whether the history of Oosterbaan/1950s is relevant today.

“Empathy, kindness, understanding: Yeah, these are all things that everyone agrees with. But what's really going on? Lies, deception, and physical child abuse.”Chris Elston was living a normal life as the father of two girls in the suburbs of Vancouver, Canada, when he became aware of what he calls the “greatest child abuse scandal in modern medicine history.”“And the only thing I could do was to have some signs made and go outside,” he says.Over the last few years, Billboard Chris, as he's commonly known, has had conversations about gender ideology with tens of thousands of people on the streets of cities across North America. He's also been assaulted by gender activists close to 40 times—including one case in which his arm was broken.“The actual cure, historically, for gender dysphoria, is puberty itself,” says Mr. Elston. “These puberty blockers, combined with the cross sex hormones, are sterilizing children. They're sterilizing thousands of autistic kids. And we're supposed to be the bigots who are speaking out against this? It's total madness.”We discuss the taboos and developments around gender and what Mr. Elston has gleaned about this topic from his conversations with ordinary people on the street.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Ashley Elston joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her instant New York Times bestseller, FIRST LIE WINS, which is Reese's Book Club pick for January and a Bookreporter Bets On selection. Ashley shares how she came to write this book and why the time was right for her to work on it. She explains what she learned about storytelling from the decade she spent as a wedding photographer, as well as her time writing YA novels, where readers keep authors on their toes. Ashley wrote the start of the book, and it looks much like what people are reading now. She discusses how the backstories came about, including one that was added quite late in the process. Carol reads an early paragraph that points out the significance of the title. Plus, Ashley reveals what she knows about the status of the Hulu series adaptation of the book and fills us in on the script that she has read.

Things Discussed: Seth comes on early to talk Lions. Jim Harbaugh: If the NFL is willing to give him everything he'll go. If they won't he's got leverage to get what he wants from Michigan. Minter: Gonna be hard to keep him. Has the chance to follow MacDonald's career path. Worth keeping? Absolutely. Please offer him whatever you can to stay because he is incredible. But what can we offer other than money that NFL can match when he's already shown he's at that level? Life after Harbaugh? Michigan was the 2nd team to win a National Championship with a majority Black coaching staff (2022 Georgia) and the only one with a Black coordinator or co-coordinator. These guys are as/more responsible than Harbaugh for creating the culture at Michigan. Moore (to HC), Clink, Hart (to RGC), Newsome (to OL), Elston (title bump?) are all guys with a greater connection to Michigan than Harbaugh. If Jay was smart he'd stick around too (Sam thinks he follows his dad). Need to think about the next 10 years of college football. Where teams are going to offer your backups $hundreds of thousands to transfer and your recruits more to sign. Someone here needs to leverage the school to make changes, and push to change the mechanism for player compensation from daddy moneybags to a share of TV revenue and contracts. How does Michigan compete in a world where you have to recruit your team each offseason? If Jim stays is he here for good? No. He's a unicorn; unless he's not having success at Michigan the NFL is going to be interested, because there aren't a lot of Bill Walshs or Pete Carrolls who can have success at both levels.

Chris Elston became an activist for the public awareness of child sex “transitions” more than three years ago. He's been harassed, attacked, and even suffered a broken arm for the message on his billboard: “Children cannot consent to puberty blockers.” In this conversation with Peter Boghossian, Chris explains how the public reception of his message has changed alongside increasing awareness about the myths promoted by gender ideologues. Peter and Chris compare notes on their techniques for engaging strangers in controversial discussions in the public square. Chris shares various arguments he frequently hears from gender activists and how he addresses them. Peter highlights his use of the “real reason check” in Spectrum Street Epistemology to get to the foundation of a belief. They also discuss the difficulty people have changing their minds in real time, the coercive influence of tribal thinking, and who will be held accountable for medical malpractice on children. Chris briefly mentions the new Dutch documentary about the history of the Dutch Protocol for gender transition.  This podcast was filmed October 30, 2023 at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Conference in London, England.Billboard Chris on X and InstagramPrevious discussions with Billboard Chris:“Moving the Needle on Gender Ideology” (Billboard Chris, Andy Ngo, and others) “Nearly Impossible Conversations” (Billboard Chris & James Klug) Law firm for Detransitioners
