Tall women have had their struggles with the fashion industry for the past few decades. And this honestly comes as a bit of a shock since models are tall, whether walking down the runway IRL or appearing in photos on some of our favorite clothing sites. Well, these models are often short tall, but that's an episode for a different day. But it's not uncommon for a tall girly to go into a store and not be able to find pants, tops, dresses, shoes even because they're too short or too small. And this type of frustration has led to many tall women starting clothing brands for tall women to help solve this problem. And today, I'm interviewing one of those tall women. I'm speaking with Melanie, fellow tall girly and co-founder of Ladies of Leisure, a clothing brand specifically for tall women. We're going to talk about the story behind the brand, the struggles many tall women face, and some of the unique gaps in tall fashion.

A live recording from The Big Romance about a 2008 Sub Pop-released classic album of the 2000s. Listen on Apple | Android | Patreon | Pocketcasts | CastBox | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS Feed | Podlink Step into a world of misty melodies and cavernous echoes with Seattle band Fleet Foxes' landmark debut – a defining record of the late-2000s indie folk revival. Led by Robin Pecknold, the album blends the lush, pastoral harmonies of the 1960s with a haunting baroque-pop sensibility and lyrical themes rooted in nature, tradition, and introspection. Like the Bruegel painting on its cover, every track reveals a dense, beautiful world that evokes a timeless – almost mythic Americana sound. This podcast episode is a live recording from our listening party in The Big Romance in April, with guest journalist and Fleet Foxes fan Aoife Barry. Our next Listening Party is Smashing Pumpkins later this month and it's sold out. Listen Closely: Fleet Foxes – Fleet Foxes (2008) A Nialler9 listening party, hosted by Niall Byrne with guest Aoife Barry. Before the album Niall: Hello everyone, how are you? Welcome to the Listen Closely album listening party. I'm Niall, and this is Aoife Barry. Aoife: Hello. Niall: We're here tonight because Aoife picked this album, as she has before. You picked Jeff Buckley last year. Aoife: Yeah, and we ended up doing three of them. Niall: We did, we went to Cork. We did two here and then we went to Cork to talk about Jeff Buckley. And you were at the My Bloody Valentine listening party last year as well, back in October. Aoife: It must have been October, yeah. Niall: Well, obviously we're here for a very different album tonight: Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes, from 2008. As you heard there, we played a bit of the Sun Giant EP by the band, which came out a few months before this album, because we want to give the album its full due. They're a little different, and we'll talk about that. But yeah, you picked the record. Aoife: I did. I obviously must like it. And it's such an incredible record. Is there anybody here who hasn't heard it? That's really exciting, if so. I'm excited for you to hear it. You got a sneak peek there of what the vibe is going to be. I picked it because I love this record, but I also had a funny story about how I first heard them. Back in 2008, when this record came out, I'd read about this band called Fleet Foxes in a music magazine. I don't even think I'd heard a song yet, this is back in the day. And I was on holidays in Berlin, and in the tiny little hostel we were staying in, they had a sign up on the wall: "Who's playing tonight? Fleet Foxes, Café Zapata." I said to my boyfriend, "I think that's a band I read about in the magazine, will we go see them?" And he was like, "Grand." So we went, and they were unbelievable. It was so good. Beach House were supporting them. So it was 2008 smacking you in the face. Niall: Come on. Aoife: And I took photos, which I found. I have photos. Artifacts. One is terrible, the other one's not so terrible, taken on one of those little Canon digital cameras. And I still have the ticket, I kept the ticket, I'm one of those hoarders who keeps all their gig tickets. But it was so good: the venue they played in had a dragon that breathed fire out every fifteen minutes. Niall: So they'd be playing and this dragon… Aoife: I'm not even exaggerating. Fire would just shoot out of this mechanical dragon. It was so Berlin. And Fleet Foxes were so stunning, and Beach House were so stunning. I love Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, I love all those harmony vibes, I wish I was born in the seventies, sadly I was not. So I fell in love with them immediately, and I've been a big fan ever since. Although I'll say I probably dipped a little bit around the Crack-Up era, their third album, but then I saw them when Shore came out, their most recent album, and fell right back in love with them. Niall: We're going to talk about all the albums that come afterwards, but we'll start with this one, because this is presumably your favourite, or one of them. Aoife: Shore is up there as well for me, but yeah. Niall: So what was it about Fleet Foxes at the time? For context: in 2008 there was quite a lot of this kind of music around. We previously did Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago as a listening party, and the funny thing, which I only found out when we did this, is that they have the same origin story in a way. Both songwriters went to a cabin in the woods to pour their heart out and write the songs. Aoife: I think Justin Vernon just got there first in terms of the marketing. Niall: So they must have pulled back on talking about it too much, because it's basically the same thing. They never really talked about Robin Pecknold's writing process in those terms. Aoife: For Emma was such a massive moment, everybody was obsessed with this guy who broke up with a girl and went to a cabin and wrote a record about it. It was the ur indie-folk album. Niall: What was really appealing about Fleet Foxes is that they were so young, between about twenty-two and twenty-seven, and Robin Pecknold was twenty-one when he wrote the record. Which is frankly offensive, you shouldn't be allowed to be so talented at twenty-one. Aoife: I know. And they were clearly these people from Seattle, which we associate with grunge, and then it becomes this place where they're bringing out all the pastoral, outdoorsy, mountain-and-sea vibes of the Washington area. They're obviously really influenced by the seventies too, by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, by Laurel Canyon, but also by Appalachian folk. There's a real purity to what they're doing. The harmonies are unbelievable, there's even a bit of a gospel feeling. So these young guys made this album that was being called an iconic American record on release. The Guardian called it a landmark American album, something like that. And that's special, because you don't get that many records immediately being called landmark. Niall: It was a very exciting time for music around then. I actually brought some records. We mentioned Beach House and Teen Dream earlier, that's a bit later, 2010. I wanted to do a listening party for that at some point, that'd be good craic. Around that time you had Animal Collective and Panda Bear, Person Pitch was right there, that was the apex for that very experimental scene. A few years later we had Sufjan, our very first listening party. And Bon Iver, of course. There's also stuff like Neutral Milk Hotel very much of that vibe. Aoife: I've noticed people covering Neutral Milk Hotel more now. Niall: I think when we got to it, it was on its second go-round, and now it's getting a third, which is great. It's a great record. So, the band were from Seattle, they had a bit of the scruffy flannel-shirt look, but obviously didn't sound like that. The album was written in the woods, in the cabin, brought to the band, and recorded with Phil Ek. Aoife: Who did a lot of stuff with Built to Spill. Niall: Yeah, and he worked with The Shins, and Modest Mouse, a really long history. Aoife: Are The Shins from Seattle as well? Niall: I think they might be. Band of Horses is another one. So they recorded it themselves with Phil Ek, paid for it all themselves, and then the local major independent label Sub Pop came calling. Obviously known for a lot of grunge traditionally, but they'd clearly been releasing this kind of music around then too, The Shins had been on the label for a few years, Band of Horses. When it came to it, they signed to Sub Pop. Apparently there was a bidding war. Aoife: They'd become quite popular on MySpace. Anybody remember MySpace? Every time I do one of these I feel older and older, mentioning the top eight, the randomers you'd put in your top eight. Word could spread quite quickly once you got popular on MySpace. Niall: What I thought was really interesting, that I discovered when I was researching, is that recording the album was actually a total pain for them. They didn't have much money, so they ended up recording a lot of it in their houses, or in Robin Pecknold's family home. And he re-did all the vocals right before they mastered the record, because he'd been sick during the initial sessions and his voice wasn't in great shape. They recorded it all in one go, scrapped that, did another version, and kept moving the running order around. I'm always fascinated by albums where the creation was a total pain and they had no idea it would even work out. Robin Pecknold actually said, "I hope nobody cares about this album, because I just want to move on to the next one." And then it becomes this iconic record. Aoife: Isn't every artist sick of their album by the time it's done? You're like, "my paintings." Yeah. Niall: 2008 was an interesting time for it to land. The album draws on the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Nick Drake, Simon & Garfunkel, Fairport Convention, Judee Sill, very much old-timey or sixties folk and pastoral stuff. And in 2008 there's a financial crash. The album was worked on before that, but it was released into that environment, and a lot of this music seemed to catch. When things go bad, we retreat, we dream, we listen to music that's maybe the opposite of what we're feeling. There was a gentleness, an unhurriedness to it that resonated. Aoife: Grizzly Bear is another band from that time. When Jay-Z and Beyoncé went to see Grizzly Bear in Brooklyn, that was kind of where all the indie music peaked. Niall: And the other part of it, which I was involved in, was the MP3 blogs, that's where you'd hear this music. Especially the American and Canadian stuff, no one was promoting it over here yet, so you'd be months ahead. You'd hear Fleet Foxes in these MP3 formats. That was a mad period, it showed how the internet could collapse geography, a song could spread really quickly on the blogs. And in an American context, this came out post-Bush, with the Obama era coming in, a more hopeful tone. You had the Lehman Brothers crash, these global pressures, and then these hopeful times too. It's interesting to wonder whether these albums are a reaction to it, or whether they appeal to us because we want nice, happy things. I feel like Fleet Foxes have so much emotional depth: there's yearning, sadness, hope, nostalgia. Aoife: I loved Yellow House by Grizzly Bear, their first record, a complex, complicated, almost jazzy thing that sounded beautiful but had a lot going on. We weren't going for simplistic music, but we wanted music that gave us depth and beauty. Is art a solution to the world collapsing? Niall: We could be answering that in 2026. We live in a cursed timeline, as I keep saying. That's all I'm going to say. But what else happened in 2008 in the wider circle of music? Portishead returned with Third. TV on the Radio released Dear Science. MGMT released Oracular Spectacular, 'Kids' and all that. Cut Copy released In Ghost Colours, Indie Sleaze night on Saturday, folks, come on. Kanye put out 808s & Heartbreak, that was November that year. Rihanna was at the peak of her powers. Aoife: Katy Perry appeared that year. And 'American Boy'. Niall: 'American Boy', still one of the best pop songs, fire. Iron & Wine was the other one I forgot to mention. So it was a really vibrant, varied year. As you heard, there's the Sun Giant EP too. Aoife: The thing about that is it came out before the album, but was recorded after. The album was done, in the bag. Niall: They decided to go into the studio and record Sun Giant, a collection of songs intended to sell on tour. It ended up being quite popular, and for a lot of people it was their first time discovering Fleet Foxes. Aoife: It wasn't like The Coronas' 'San Diego Song', their summer-holiday anthem, or anything like that. But it came out before the album, and then the album arrives. Niall: So what was the reaction at the time? Was it immediate? Aoife: Things happened really quickly. In January that year they got all the MySpace attention, and by June the album was coming out. Really, really quick. There was so much chatter about them, which is partly why I'd seen the name, and a music blog like yours would have seen it too, and known they were one of the big bands. In a way that's harder now. Niall: These days you see bands like Geese getting a lot of attention because they use companies that help them go viral. You didn't really have that then. Now you'd dress yourself up in some gimmick, polka dots, whatever, and go viral all over the internet for it. I couldn't imagine these lads doing that. Aoife: No. But maybe in a way they were cosplaying living in the forest, on the Puget Sound. Niall: Anyway, when the album came out, people loved them, and it really hit it off. Because they sound so seventies, your parents would love the records and you'd love the records. There's almost a lullaby quality to the folk stuff too. The music is applicable to anybody of any generation, and there's something lovely about nostalgic music that reminds you of a better time. To finish on that point: I think there's something very mysterious about Fleet Foxes, they feel out of time. They're these young, scruffy lads with the beards, but there's a mystery to them. They didn't come across as the hipster end of things, they weren't leaning into anything. They were presented as the kind of band that wouldn't have had phones, would have lived off-grid, which is funny because they were a MySpace band. They're the most un-MySpace band you can imagine. Surprise people, do something a bit different, don't be exactly what people want you to be, and they'll love you for it. And then your songs are unbelievable too, soaring and stunning. Can we talk for a second about the cover? It's an original painting from 1559 by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Netherlandish Proverbs. It depicts a densely populated Flemish village scene illustrating 126 folk proverbs. There's a lot there. Some on this side are cut off, but for example, this woman here, she's putting the blue cloak on her husband, meaning she deceives him. This guy is casting roses before swine, wasting effort on the unworthy. And right at the top there's a man running through a field with his arse on fire, chasing pigs, "he who eats fire craps sparks," do not be surprised at the outcome if you attempt a dangerous venture. There are 126 of those. Aoife: The interesting thing is that the band managed to get permission to use it. Really unusual to be allowed use it as commercial artwork. Niall: And apparently the museum that holds the artwork were delighted. A lot of stars aligned for them. It's an iconic cover because it's so different from what anybody else was doing, clearly of a particular period, and it has that Where's Wally quality. I have a quote about it. Robin said: "We were trying to figure out what we wanted to do, and my brother had been working some stuff out, when I saw this Bruegel painting in a book my girlfriend had. I liked that it had a really intriguing meaning, there's a story to each little scene, which felt fitting for the record. It was dense but unified, not a collage. It has a Where's Waldo quality, something you could look at for a long time on a vinyl sleeve and keep finding new little things. It was very easy to get the museum in Berlin that has it to say yes, they were super excited the band wanted to use it, and put it in their newsletter. When you open it up, on the inside there's a Paisley pattern traced from the back of a book that Skyler's mum got me. We wanted two very different feelings." So, what to look out for when we press play very shortly? Aoife: When I was going back to this, I had it in my head that every song was one of these big songs, because there are so many big moments. But actually there are two tracks that are pretty much acoustic, so it's interesting to notice how they go from the big sound to the small. And for me they're a real emotion-and-feeling band, so notice how you feel listening to it. I always feel this swell of emotion with Fleet Foxes, I was walking down the road listening to Shore and I was like, my God. So lean back and feel into the emotions they're bringing you. And listen to the lyrics if you can make them out, because they're so out of time, all about pack horses and this amazing imagery. Robin Pecknold said he didn't write about a lot of personal stuff because he didn't have enough life experience yet, so instead he wrote these beautifully poetic narratives about pastoral and rural life. So I'd say the lyrics and the feelings are the two things. Niall: Track two, 'White Winter Hymnal', is probably the biggest one, watch out for that. And a few other people thanked and cited as influences, for some extra context: Brian Wilson, Joanna Newsom, Bob Dylan, Noah Lennox and all the lads from Animal Collective, Levon Helm and Robbie Robertson of The Band, Blitzen Trapper, who they toured with at the time and who were bigger than them then. For some reason Joni Mitchell and Neil Young are listed together, which is fair enough. Marvin Gaye, Damien Jurado, Paul Simon and John Lennon listed together. Townes Van Zandt, a legend. Vashti Bunyan, and Van Morrison. There's a nice quote from Robin Pecknold I'll read afterwards. Let's just open it up and listen. I'll play it at full volume, it's about thirty-nine minutes, two sides. Close your eyes, whatever you want to do, vibe away in your own way. [The album plays: Fleet Foxes – Fleet Foxes, 39 minutes.] After the album Niall: It's quite an economical album, isn't it? It doesn't stick around long, thirty-nine minutes. Aoife: I like an economical album. It's also one of the first fairly short records we've done here. Niall: That's part of why I was thinking about Sun Giant in that context too. I'm going to read a bit from the liner notes, because for an album that's very much about feelings, with only a few direct songs, some of what's written here is interesting: "My first memory has always been of me and my mom on a cold grey day down at some beach in Washington, along the Puget Sound somewhere near Seattle. I would be around two or three years old, and we were with a friend of mine from the neighbourhood and his mom, walking among the driftwood looking for crabs. Even now I can remember the smell and temperature of the air, the feeling of the sand and the swaying tall grass. I can even remember looking over at my friend and how his face looked when he smiled back at me. Another memory I'll sometimes recall as my first is dressing up in the dead of summer as Jack London, with tennis rackets on my feet and wearing my dad's hiking pack, after seeing Disney's terrible version of White Fang. Or the memory of stealing my neighbour's Big Wheel and riding it halfway down the block before getting caught and having to turn around defeated. Or wearing a fireman's outfit while washing my parents' car, or eating an orange popsicle from the ice cream truck. These have always been some of my most distinct and persistent memories of childhood. So it came as a disappointment when, one day as a teenager, I opened up a photo album and found pictures of each and every one of these memories. I didn't have a single memory that didn't belong to, or somehow grow from, those pictures my parents had. I guess I've seen all these photographs at some point, forgotten they were just photographs, and over time made them into my most tangible memories. That's scary to me in a way. This leads me to something weird about the power music has: its transportability. Any time I hear a song or record that meant a lot to me at a certain moment, I'm instantly taken back to that place in full detail. Whenever I hear 'Feel Flows' by the Beach Boys, I'm taken straight to the back of my parents' car on the way to my grandparents' place, with Surf's Up in my Walkman and the Cascade Mountains going by in the window. Any song off Radiohead's Kid A brings back the airport near Seattle, from when we were on the way to Colorado for a wedding and Kid A was the only record I brought or wanted to bring. 'Crayon Angels' by Judee Sill is the whole winter of last year. And Brian Wilson's solo version of 'Surf's Up' takes me back to driving my parents' car around town alone at sixteen, windows down at night. I can't ascribe exact memories to songs by The Microphones, Joni Mitchell, Built to Spill, Dungen, Harry Nilsson and so many others, and it's a form of recall I can actually trust, there's no visual element to complicate things, no chance of a planted memory that wasn't actually supposed to be there. Maybe I should be concerned that I'm alone in almost all of these memories, but I guess I was just a private kid, and music was a private experience for me. Music activates a certain mental freedom in a way nothing else can, and that is so empowering. You can call it escapism if you like, but I see it as connecting to a deeper human feeling than the one found in the day-to-day world." Aoife: That's lovely. It's a nice addendum. And he was only twenty-one. Niall: For some reason it's signed "Warren Gamaliel Bancroft Winnipeg Harding," Warren G. Harding being the 29th president of the United States. I don't know why, he thought it was funny. Dated April 6th, 2008, Chicago, Illinois. So, any particular highlights, anything that stood out? Aoife: I was reminded how much I love 'Blue Ridge Mountains', the second-to-last song. I just love those four- and five-part harmonies so much. There's something that really gets me about beautiful harmonies stacked on each other that sound so natural. My dad was really into Neil Young and all of that era, my mum's really into Simon & Garfunkel, so I feel like I came out of the womb going, this is the music I love. Niall: There was another one I meant to mention. Aoife: I'm really bad at remembering song names, which isn't great for an arts journalist. They go in one ear and out the other. Niall: 'He Doesn't Know Why'. Aoife: That was it. I always forget the name of that one, and it's an absolute banger. It's quite a direct song, the last one on the first side. Niall: He mentions his brother Sean in 'Blue Ridge Mountains', which is interesting. And Oliver James is his younger brother, that's the last song. Aoife: His sister is Aja, after the Steely Dan album. The parents were really into them. Niall: It holds up so well. The harmonies and vocals sound incredible, there are those beautiful little flourishes, a flute on one of the tracks, the guitar is stunning, lovely little bass lines. I love the way Robin Pecknold and the band hear music. There's a really good Song Exploder episode with him talking about a song from Crack-Up, and the way he thinks about translating his thoughts and emotions into music is so illuminating. He has a beautiful melodic flow that's really similar to the flow of water and nature. There are so many nature references, it's almost parody there are so many. Aoife: You could do a Portlandia sketch about it. "Power of nature, man." "Come down from the mountain, you've been gone too long." Niall: In terms of the line-up: alongside Robin Pecknold on vocals there was Skyler Skjelset on lead guitar, his best friend from Nathan Hale High School, later joined by Casey Wescott, Christian Wargo on bass, and Nicholas Peterson on drums, who left after this album. Aoife: And who came in as the drummer? Niall: A man who's been a main character in one of these listening parties himself: Josh Tillman, Father John Misty, played drums with them. Aoife: For how long? Niall: Only a year or two, pretty short. As I said, main character, he was making his own record. Any Father John Misty fans? He writes really good songs and he's handsome, so we all love him, but he's also a bit of a pain, and he didn't get on very well with Robin Pecknold, which isn't surprising. When I was looking back at the Pitchfork interview they did in 2008, a few months after the album came out, it was a big joint interview with Robin and Josh Tillman, and Tillman is answering the questions at the start. That's confidence. Do you want to hear a quote from what Robin Pecknold said? I've written it in my little notebook, so old-school, that's the only way I remember these things. In a 2020 Reddit AMA, Pecknold said that on that tour, the Helplessness Blues tour, Tillman was supposed to bring out his own record, but his label said he could only release it after the tour. So he was on tour thinking, "I want to bring out my own record, I'm tired of Fleet Foxes." Pecknold said he "had to endure being around a lot of substance abuse, sabotaged shows, general ill treatment and shit-talking, all while paying him for songs he didn't have anything to do with. It sucked." And then Tillman left the band. Whereas in that Pitchfork interview he'd said, "I love playing in this band, these are all my friends, I'm having the best time, I'm sorry if that's a corny quote, but that's the best thing about this experience right now." Aoife: So he was lying through his teeth. I think he's the kind of person who really has to be a solo artist, too iconic a personality. You wouldn't want to wrangle him out of bed to get to the next show. Niall: Too big a price. You mentioned Pitchfork, the album was number one on their end-of-year list in 2008, and they listed Sun Giant alongside it, breaking the traditional conventions of end-of-year lists. What they said was: listing Fleet Foxes' debut album and EP together may be awkward, but it just feels right, they're two sides of a coin that equally express the band's mastery, "a catch-all Americana that takes a wide slice of our popular music spectrum and pulls it through a reverse prism to create a gorgeous and focused sound of the band's own. The threads of Brian Wilson's coastal pop, Appalachian folk, modern indie rock, Grateful Dead jams and other influences are masterfully synthesised in the band's harmonies." Robin Pecknold's sense of dynamics, they said, flows like a river, wild and free but logical, filling what needs to be filled and moving on. I swear I didn't rip that off Pitchfork, I came up with something similar on my own. Aoife: Very good. Niall: It was Uncut's album of the year too. But more than anything, and this is a strange accolade, the album was ranked number 36 on Rolling Stone's list of the greatest stoner albums. Aoife: I don't think Robin Pecknold was a stoner. It doesn't really fit. He's a reader. Niall: So what came after? Helplessness Blues, which is really difficult to say, in 2011, then Crack-Up in 2017, then Shore in 2020. Big long gaps, some personnel changes. And Robin Pecknold, as we've established, is a very literary guy, he went to Columbia to do an undergrad in English literature, because he'd left high school early and gone to a community college, and he really wanted that college experience. So that was part of the break. He's also had difficult times, he's spoken about mental health issues and suicidal ideation, many tough experiences that contributed to the gaps too. They haven't released anything since 2020, and he does a lot of cover events. There are two live records. He's actually playing a gig tonight, I think, where he covers Judee Sill. Any Judee Sill fans? Aoife: Oh my gosh, she's amazing. Nobody ever knows Judee Sill. If you listen to anything, listen to Heart Food, it's iconic. He loves her, mentions her on this record. She's the one who does 'The Kiss', people might have seen her perform it on the Old Grey Whistle Test, it's on YouTube. She had a really tragic life. Niall: One of those I've been meaning to listen to properly for years. She only has two records, so it's easy to get into. There's a documentary about her as well, which I haven't seen. Aoife: She's one of those ill-fated seventies musicians, really religious imagery, did a lot of drugs, really interesting. Niall: Did you get to see them again after your first foray in Berlin? Aoife: I saw them when they toured, though it's really bad when you can't remember what you were doing in the 2010s. Niall: Did anybody see them at that Dublin gig, the outdoor one in 2022? Wasn't it amazing. They've played here a fair bit: Vicar Street in 2008, Electric Picnic 2009, The Marquee in Cork 2011, the Iveagh Gardens in 2017. I don't know if I've missed any, maybe you can tell me. So if you were to pick, is there any further listening or reading you'd suggest to somebody, not necessarily Fleet Foxes? Aoife: Some of it is obvious. As I said, I'd definitely check out Judee Sill, because if you really like Fleet Foxes you'd really vibe with her. And he mentions Harry Nilsson, also unbelievable, more well known than Judee Sill, did the cover of 'Everybody's Talkin''. I'd also mention a guy people would have known at one point but isn't very well known now: Richard Swift. He sadly passed away a couple of years ago. He was friends with Robin Pecknold, a hugely talented musician who struggled with addiction. He has an amazing double album from around 2005 or 2006 that's brilliant, and a record called The Hex, which is referenced on 'Sunblind' on Shore, that's the song where Robin name-checks a lot of musicians he loves, like Elliott Smith, David Berman and Richard Swift. It's such a beautiful record for finding new people to listen to, and it's lovely to hear a musician pay tribute to musicians he loves. The imagery is him talking about this beautiful day where he'll go for a swim and listen to all these beautiful bands, an ecstatic kind of song. So check out all of those records, but Richard Swift deserves more fans, and The Hex is really, really good. Niall: Good shout. What we'll do now is play a tune, and then maybe give Sun Giant another go if you want to stick around. Our next listening party is on the 27th of May, and it's an indie-rock album very close to my heart: Broken Social Scene's You Forgot It in People. I've been wanting to do this one on record for a long time. They're playing here later in the year, but I want to give this record its flowers, it's incredible. My niece has just turned seventeen and I bought her a copy, because it's an anthemic record for a seventeen-year-old. I can't believe that band are still going, which is kind of mad, but it's hard to underline what Broken Social Scene meant to a certain segment of indie. Aoife: And there's four hundred of them on stage. They're from Canada, and we were all like, my God, these people are the best. Niall: For me it's the MP3 times again, we'll talk about this next month. I heard about them through the music blogs, and then I got to see them in the Button Factory, which was the Temple Bar Music Centre at the time. It was one of the first things I ever wrote about, back in 2005. A transcendental experience. Aoife: They're so good live. Niall: I once DJ'd in Galway after one of their gigs, and one of the members of the band, I'll leave him nameless, came over and turned off the decks while I was DJing. Aoife: On purpose? Niall: He was that drunk. I can't remember what I was playing, but I was like, great, DJing after Broken Social Scene and then a band member ruins it. I don't think he liked it. No, I think he was just really drunk and thought it was funny. Thumbs down to him. In a way it's surprising a man like that has managed to persist in a band with so many members. Anyway, I digress. We'll talk about it next month, May 27th. Aoife: I cannot wait. I've been listening to it a lot lately again, it's fantastic. Niall: Thank you for being here. Let's play a bit of this and see what happens. Thanks for being here, appreciate it.

In this discussion, we covered how different kinds of funding allocations facilitate inclusion for blind and vision impaired people under the NDIS, the implications of losing access to this funding, and more broadly, the way that conversations about legitimate support and functionality assessments occur within a society that holds very narrowed views about the kinds of lives that people with disability should live.

On the 16th of July, in the face of significant resistance in American Samoa and across the Pacific region, the BOEM agency issued a Proposed Leasing Notice for the American Samoa Outer Continental Shelf Pacific Mineral Lease Sale 1, another step in the direction of a potential lease sale this November. Sabrina spoke with us about the cultural and environmental impacts that deep sea mining for critical minerals will cause, and the ongoing fight to prevent this from happening in the waters off the islands of American Samoa. Dr. Sabrina Suluai-Mahuka is a Samoan Filipina educator, youth leadership mentor, and environmental justice advocate who works at the intersection of Indigenous knowledge, community organizing, and ocean conservation to amplify Pacific voices in local and global decision-making.//Isabel Maria Villalón is an independent researcher living and studying in Mexico City. She has a master's degree in Latin American Studies from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, is about to enter into a doctorate program, and writes regularly for the North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA). As the 2026 World Cup wraps up, we spoke with Isabel to unpack the tainted legacy it left behind throughout Mexico City. She walked us through inequities in tax contributions paid to Mexico, Canada, and the US by participating corporations, and the rejection of the tournament by a broad assembly of social movements that led to street protests. Throughout the conversation, Isabel shed light on structural economic inequalities present across both legislation governing the World Cup and negotiations for the United States Mexico Canada free trade agreement that occurred alongside the tournament.//We listened to a podcast produced with All The Best Radio, international audio producer, Craig Garrett, and our Thursday Breakfast host, Kate, about the growing push for reproductive healthcare leave across Australia.

We are excited to present an intergenerational panel of talented filmmakers from the Cinema Systers Film Festival (@cinemasystersfilmfestival), the ONLY all-lesbian film festival in the United States, as they join Leigh for an inspirational discussion about finding “systerhood” and the power of sharing our stories in community.  Leigh speaks with Laura Petrie, the founder and producer of the CSFF, about planting her acorn by bringing her vision for a lesbian film festival to life in her beloved hometown of Paducah, Kentucky. Next, we hear from Nicole de Meneses (@darkrainbowfilms), a freelance writer, producer and director who was introduced to the CSFF through a documentary on the festival (available on Lesflicks). She has had several films now featured at the festival, including the mermaid romcom, Fishy, and the vampire horror short, Last Bite. Next up is Jennifer Trujillo, the Senior Managing Director of the Gilbert Baker Film Festival (@gilbertbakerfilmfest), who faced serious anxieties over trekking to Kentucky (and subsequently fell in love with Paducah) to represent Last Bite in 2025 as a Supporting Producer. Last but not least, we are joined by Krissy Mahan, a working class film maker (and lesbian of a certain age), who has been documenting our stories since the AIDS crisis of the late 80s and is now well-known for her “dykeumentaries”, a visual record of queer people living as themselves during times when the official record may not reflect that reality. At this year's festival, Krissy and Jenn will be leading a workshop titled "Accessibility is for Every Body”, aiming to liberate films from ableism from the pre-production stages forward. They dream of creating a cultural shift where films are truly accessible to all people regardless of their bodies' unique sensory inputs.  Together we can normalize our stories, break free of the patriarchal, homophobic, racist, ableist world we've inherited and celebrate one another while using film as a mechanism for thought experiments on how to create a better world where we can all survive. Stick around to the end to hear an impassioned debate (ie. dyke fight) over the lesbian Christmas classic, Carol.  We hope you'll journey to Paducah, Kentucky for the 10th Anniversary celebration of the Cinema Systers Film Festival taking place from May 21st to the 24th, 2026. In addition to a full roster of films, the festival provides tons of events to take part in throughout the long weekend including panels, musical performances, and workshops.

If tapping is not working for you right now, I want you to know two things: this is normal, and there is a specific process you can follow to break through. In my 18+ years as an tapping practitioner, I have walked hundreds of clients through exactly this moment, and what I have learned is that getting stuck is not a sign that tapping has failed you. It is information, and that information has a use. Key Takeaways Every round of tapping produces one of three outcomes: you feel better, the intensity increases, or nothing changes. Two of those three are direct signs of progress, and the third gives you useful information about what to do next. When tapping seems to make things worse, it means you are tuning in more accurately to what was already present beneath the surface, not that tapping caused new distress. A six-step process (tap on the frustration, release the all-or-nothing mindset, explore the downside of healing, find the upside of staying stuck, do one minute of wordless tapping, then return to the original issue) reliably breaks through stalled rounds. Hidden "secondary gains" from staying stuck are one of the most common reasons tapping stalls, and most people are completely unaware they exist until they ask the right questions. Even if the original issue does not resolve immediately, working through this process removes the stress and pressure of being stuck, which often creates the clarity needed for a breakthrough. Three Outcomes You Can Get from Any Round of Tapping Every round of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) produces exactly one of three results, and understanding all three changes how you respond when progress stalls. The first outcome is the one we all hope for: you tap and you feel better. Your distress drops, your body relaxes, and you are moving in the right direction. You can stop there or keep going to deepen the relief. The second outcome is that your distress actually increases. This feels like tapping is making things worse, but it is not. I will explain why in the next section. The third outcome is that nothing changes at all. The number does not move. This is the one that makes people question whether EFT works, whether it works for everyone else but not for them, or whether their particular issue is beyond tapping's reach. But "nothing changed" is not a dead end. It is a signpost, and the six-step process below is how you read it. Why Feeling Worse After Tapping Is Actually a Sign of Progress When intensity rises during a round of tapping, it means you are tuning in more sharply to what was already there, not that tapping created new pain. Think of it this way. You have a knee injury, and you go through your busy day barely noticing it. You get home, sit on the couch, exhale, and suddenly your knee is throbbing. Sitting down did not injure your knee. Resting gave your body the space to send you the pain signal it had been trying to deliver all day. Key insight: "Resting is not putting you in more pain. It is bringing attention to the issue that is already there. The same thing is true emotionally." The same thing happens when you retell a frustrating story to a friend and feel your anger rising with each sentence. Telling the story did not create the anger. It reconnected you with emotion that was already stored in your system. So if you tap and the intensity spikes, that is not pleasant, but it means you are closer to the real issue. And being closer to the real issue means you are closer to relief. If you have ever finished a session and felt unexpectedly sad or emotionally raw, that same principle applies. I explored exactly this in Episode 695: Why Do I Feel Sad After Tapping?, which walks through why post-session emotional shifts are signs of progress rather than problems. What Does It Mean When Tapping Produces No Change at All? When a round of tapping produces zero shift, it means something specific is blocking the path forward, and that block can be identified and addressed. In my experience, the block usually falls into one of two categories. Either a part of you has decided (outside your conscious awareness) that healing is risky and staying stuck is safer, or you have not yet tuned in with enough specificity to reach the real issue. Both of these are solvable. You do not need to know which one is operating before you begin. The six-step process below addresses both. The key reframe here is this: "nothing happened" is not the same as "tapping does not work." It is the same as "I need more information." And that information is available if you ask the right questions. If your sessions have been stalling for a longer stretch, Episode 648: What to Do When Your Tapping Transformation Feels Slow or Stuck goes deeper into diagnosing a tapping plateau when the stall has lasted weeks or months. Step 1: Tap on Your Frustration About Tapping Not Working The first step is to tap on how you feel about the fact that it did not work. This is the step most people skip, and skipping it keeps them stuck. You sat down with hope. You did the thing. It did not deliver. That produces real emotions: frustration, disappointment, embarrassment, maybe even a sense of betrayal if tapping has worked for you before and suddenly stopped. Those feelings are now sitting on top of whatever you originally wanted to address, and they will interfere with every subsequent round until you clear them. So before you go back to the original issue, do one round on the meta-experience. "Right now I feel...." This is not a detour. It is clearing the road. Step 2: Let Go of the All-or-Nothing Healing Mindset The second step is to acknowledge that healing is a process, not a single event, and to tap on the pressure you are putting on yourself to get it all done in one round. Key insight: "Healing is not all or nothing. It is a process, and it is okay that it is a process." When we unconsciously treat healing as a binary (either I am fixed or I have failed), a single round that produces no visible change feels like proof of failure. That framing creates enormous internal pressure. Tapping on "even though I want this to be done right now, and it is not done, and that feels like failure" releases the grip of that all-or-nothing thinking. It gives you permission to be mid-process. This expectation trap is one of the most common things I see derail people's tapping practice. I dedicated a full episode to it in Episode 674: The Myth of the One Big Tapping Breakthrough, which explores why expecting a single dramatic shift often prevents the steady progress that is actually happening. Step 3: Explore the Hidden Downside of Healing The third step is to ask yourself a question that sounds counterintuitive: what goes wrong if I actually heal this? This is one of the most powerful questions in all of EFT, and the answers can be startling. I was working with a client who had chronic physical pain, and we were making zero progress. When I asked her what would go wrong if the pain healed, her answer broke my heart. Key insight: "She said, 'Everybody who is in my life is in my life to take care of me because of my injury. If I heal, I am no longer injured, and they are all going to go away.'" Of course her system was blocking the healing. At an unconscious level, healing meant losing every meaningful relationship in her life. That is not irrational. That is protective. Once we tapped on that specific fear, the original pain began to shift. Your version of this might be less dramatic, but the principle is the same. If any part of you believes that healing carries a cost (lost identity, lost relationships, lost excuses, new responsibilities), that part will pump the brakes. Asking the question out loud brings the hidden cost into the open where you can tap on it directly. The fear that tapping might actually work is more common than people realize. Episode 668: When You're Afraid Tapping Might Work goes into depth on exactly this dynamic and how to address it. Step 4: Find the Hidden Upside of Staying Stuck The fourth step is the mirror image of Step 3: ask yourself what goes right if you do not heal. The downside of healing and the upside of staying stuck sound like the same question, but they surface different answers. The downside of healing focuses on what you lose. The upside of staying stuck focuses on what you get to keep. For example, maybe healing a pattern of procrastination means you would actually have to finish the project, put it into the world, and face potential criticism. The upside of staying stuck is that you never have to risk that exposure. You get to keep your free time, your safety, and your comfortable routine. This is not a moral judgment. These hidden benefits are real and they are human. Tapping on them directly ("even though part of me likes staying stuck because it means I do not have to put myself out there") is what allows the system to release its grip. Episode 664: Does Staying Stuck Keep You Safe? explores this exact territory in depth, including how the nervous system can interpret staying stuck as a form of protection worth defending. Step 5: Do One Minute of Wordless Tapping After completing the first four steps, set a timer for sixty seconds and tap from point to point without saying anything at all. Wordless tapping is a technique where you simply move through the EFT tapping points (top of head, eyebrow, side of eye, under eye, under nose, chin, collarbone, under arm) in sequence without any setup statement or reminder phrase. You have just given voice to a lot of material: frustration, all-or-nothing thinking, hidden costs, hidden benefits. Now you let your system process it without directing the conversation. Think of it as giving your nervous system a minute to sort through everything you just stirred up. In my experience, this brief pause often produces more integration than another verbal round would. If you find that you often struggle to know what words to use during tapping, Episode 672: How to Tap When You Don't Know What to Say covers a range of approaches for tapping without the right words, including why wordless tapping belongs in every tapper's toolkit. Step 6: Return to the Original Issue with Fresh Eyes After completing the first five steps, tune back in to the issue you originally sat down to tap on and notice what has changed. In many cases, the original issue will already feel different. Sometimes the intensity has dropped without you directly tapping on it, because the real block was one of the hidden layers you just addressed. Sometimes the issue now has a sharper, more specific quality, which means you are finally tuned in to the actual target instead of a vague approximation of it. Key insight: "Even if you are not making progress on the original issue, you are eliminating all the stress, all the overwhelm, and all of the pressure about being stuck, which is going to make you feel better. And when you feel better, there is often extra clarity about what is in front of you." Either way, you are in a fundamentally better position to tap effectively than you were before you started this process. Why This Process Works Even When the Original Issue Persists This six-step process works because it addresses the real reason tapping stalls: unrecognized emotional layers sitting between you and the target issue. When you clear the frustration, the perfectionism, and the hidden gains of staying stuck, you remove interference that was quietly blocking every round you attempted. Even in cases where the original issue does not fully resolve in that session, you have made genuine progress. You feel less stressed about being stuck, which is its own meaningful outcome. In over 18 years of working with clients and producing nearly 700 episodes of the Tapping Q&A Podcast, I have seen this pattern repeat hundreds of times. The people who learn to treat a stalled round as information rather than failure are the ones who get the deepest, most lasting results from EFT. Frequently Asked Questions How many rounds of tapping should I do before deciding it is not working? Give any single approach at least two to three focused rounds before concluding it is stalled. A single round may not be enough to fully tune in to the issue, so a lack of immediate change after one round is not yet a sign that tapping is not working for that topic. Can tapping make anxiety or emotional pain worse? Tapping does not create new distress. When intensity rises during a round, it means you are becoming more aware of emotion that was already present but suppressed. This increased awareness is a sign of progress, not harm, and continued tapping typically brings the intensity down. What is wordless tapping and when should I use it? Wordless tapping means moving through the standard tapping without speaking any setup statement or reminder phrase. It is useful as a processing step after several verbal rounds, giving your nervous system time to integrate what you have addressed. What is secondary gain in EFT? Secondary gain refers to the hidden, often unconscious benefits a person receives from remaining in a stuck or symptomatic state. Examples include avoiding new responsibilities, maintaining relationships built around caretaking, or preserving a familiar identity. Addressing secondary gain directly through tapping is often the key to breaking through a plateau. Why does tapping work for other issues but not this one? Different issues carry different layers of emotional complexity and hidden resistance. An issue that will not budge often has a secondary gain or a deeper fear attached to it that has not yet been identified. The six-step process in this article is designed to surface exactly those hidden layers.

"Over the years, clients have shown me that recovery begins in spaces where they feel safe enough to tell the truth." It's Eating Disorder Awareness Week and this year's theme is "Every Body Belongs". We wrote a little something about that on our newsletter, and shared here as well. We appreciated how eating disorder dietitian Marci Evans wrote the quote above in her newsletter this week, and have seen the same play out, here in Lane 9. We shared our stories, and it opened the door for other athletes to see what they could do the same, whether that's with us, or with someone they feel safe talking to. We hope to continue to nurture this space where your stories, and any and every body, are welcomed and held.  We're also here to help you take the next step toward eating disorder care, if you want/need it, with our Directory of Women's Health & Sport Clinicians. These are are clinicians vetted by Lane 9's team, and uniquely trained to support athletes with eating disorders and disordered eating.

He can work for me.''At once,' said the monkeys, and away they went.They broke the Tin Man's arms and legs.They took all the straw out of the Scarecrow and threw his clothes up into a tall tree.Now they took the lion and carried him to a dark cellar under the Witch's house.But they could not hurt Dorothy and Toto because of the good witch's kiss.So the monkeys picked them up very carefully and carried them to the Witch's house.The witch saw the kiss on Dorothy's face and was afraid, but she did not tell Dorothy that.'You must work for me in my house,' She said to the child, 'All day and every day,and remember—— I am watching you all the time.'Now Dorothy did not know this, but the red shoes were magic.The Witch wanted those shoes very much, but Dorothy never took them off.She took them off when she washed, of course.But the Witch never went near water.She was very, very afraid of water.Then one morning, Dorothy's left shoe fell off.The Witch picked up the shoe at once.'This is my shoe now,' She shouted.'No,it isn't,' shouted Dorothy angrily, 'Give it back to me at once.''No.'said the Witch.And then she tried to take Dorothy's right shoe too.Dorothy loved her red shoes, and she was very angry.There was a bucket of water near the door.Dorothy picked up the bucket and threw the water at the Witch.The water hit her in the face, and she cried out, 'Help, help.

The Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum原文Chapter Three: The Emerald City It was a long day.The yellow brick road went past fields and through trees,up hills and down hills.In the evening, they began to see small green houses.By sometimes, little people in green clothes came out and looked at the friends,but they did not come near them because they were afraid of the cowardly lion.'Everything here is green. Perhaps we're near the Emerald city,' said Dorothy, 'Toto and I are hungry. Let's stop at the next house.'A little woman opened the door.And Dorothy said, 'please can we stay the night in your house?'The little woman looked at the lion.And Dorothy said quickly, 'The lion is my friend and he never hurts anybody.''All right? ' the little woman said, 'You can all come in.'She put a wonderful dinner on the table.Dorothy and Toto ate a lot of it, and the lion ate some of it.But the Scarecrow and the Tin Man ate nothing.'Where are you all going?' asked the little woman.'To the Emerald city,' said Dorothy, 'We want to see the Wizard of Oz.''That'snot easy,' said the woman, 'The wizard never goes out of his house and nobody sees his face.''Is the wizard a man?' asked the Scarecrow.'Nobody knows,' said the woman, 'He is a wizard, so he can be a man or an animal or anything.''How strange!' said Dorothy, 'But we need his help, so we must see him.'The next day, they thanked the woman, left the house and began walking again.Soon they saw a beautiful city in front of them.It was the Emerald city.At last, the friends went up the yellow brick road to a big green door and stopped slowly.The door opened and a little man in green clothes stood there.'We want to see the wizard, please,' said Dorothy.'Nobody sees the wizard,' he said, 'He is a very good and very famous wizard, but nobody can see him.''We must see him,' said Dorothy, 'Please ask him!''All right,' said the green man, 'I can take you to his house, but first you must all put glasses on.'He opened a big box. In it were lots of glasses.'You must wear your glasses all the time,' he said, 'Everybody in the city must wear glasses. The Wizard says this.'So they all put on glasses.The green man put on some glasses too.And then he took them through the Emerald city.Everything in the city was green—— men, women, children, houses, shops, streets. The green man took them to a very big house, and they went into a long green room.'Wait here,' he said.After a short time, he came back.'You can see the Wizard,' he said, 'But you must go to him one by one. He wants to see the little girl first.'Then he went away and a green girl came in.She took Dorothy to a tall green door.'The Wizard is in there,' said the Green girl, 'He's waiting for you.'Dorothy went in.On a green chair was a very, very big head.There was no body, or arms, or legs—— only a head. Its mouth opened and the head said, 'I am Oz,who are you and what do you want?''I am Dorothy,' said the child bravely.'Where did you get those red shoes from?''The bad Witch of the East,' said Dorothy, 'My house fell on her and killed her.''What is that thing on your face?''A kiss. The good Witch of the North kissed me,' said Dorothy, 'I need help and she told me about you.'And what do you want?''I want to go home to Kansas,' answered Dorothy, 'But I don't know the way. Please help me to get home.The big eyes opened and closed, opened and closed.Then the mouth opened and the head spoke again.'Well,'it said, 'Perhaps I can help you, but first you must do something for me.''What do you want me to do?' asked Dorothy.'Kill the bad Witch of the West.''But I don't want to kill anybody,' said Dorothy.'You killed her sister and you are wearing her shoes. Go now and kill the Witch of the West.'The little girl began to cry.'But how can I kill the witch?' She said.The big eyes opened and looked at her, but the head did not answer.Dorothy went away, and then her friends went into the Wizard's room.First the Scarecrow, then the Tin Man, and last the Lion.Later,they all met in the long green room and talked.Dorothy told her friends about the head.'That's interesting,' said the Scarecrow, 'I didn't see a head. I saw a beautiful woman. I asked her for some brains and she said, “yes, but first you must help Dorothy to kill the Witch of the West.”''I saw a big animal with two heads,' said the Tin Man, 'I asked for a heart. The animal said, “I can give you a heart, but first you must help Dorothy to kill the witch of the west.” What did you see? Lion.''Oh,I saw a ball of fire.' said the cowardly lion. 'I said, “I am a coward, please make me brave.” And the fire said, “When the Witch of the West is dead, I can help you. But not before.”''I was angry then,' said the lion, 'But the ball of fire got bigger and bigger, so I ran away.''Oh,what are we going to do?' said Dorothy.'Well,'said the scarecrow, 'we must find the Witch of the West, and then we must kill her.'翻译第三章：翡翠城这一天过得十分漫长。黄色的砖路穿过田野，穿过树林，爬上山坡，又滑下山坡。傍晚时分，他们开始看到一些小小的绿色房屋。不一会儿，穿着绿色衣服的小个子人们走了出来，打量着朋友们，但他们没有靠近他们，因为他们害怕那只胆小的狮子。“这里的一切都是绿色的。也许我们离翡翠城不远了。”多萝西说，“我和托托饿了。咱们去下一家房子歇歇吧。”一个矮小的女人开了门。多萝西说：“请让我们在您家过夜好吗？”那个矮小的女人看了看狮子。多萝西急忙说道：“狮子是我的朋友，他从不伤害任何人。”“行吗？”那个矮小的女人说，“你们都可以进来。”她把一顿丰盛的晚餐放在了桌上。多萝西和托托吃了很多，狮子也吃了一些。但稻草人和铁皮人什么也没吃。“你们要去哪儿？”那个矮小的女人问道。“去翡翠城。”多萝西说，“我们想去见奥兹巫师。”“那可不容易。”那个女人说，“巫师从不走出他的房子，也没人能看到他的脸。”“巫师是个男人吗？”稻草人问道。“没人知道，”那位女士说道，“他是位巫师，所以他可以变成人、动物或者任何东西。”“这太奇怪了！”多萝西说道，“但我们需要他的帮助，所以我们必须见见他。”第二天，他们向那位女士道谢，离开了房子，再次踏上了前行的路。很快，他们就看到一座美丽的城市出现在眼前。那就是翡翠城。最后，朋友们沿着黄色的砖路走向一座巨大的绿色大门，缓缓停下。门开了，一个穿着绿色衣服的小个子男人站在那里。“我们想见见那位巫师，请问可以吗？”多萝西说道。“没人能见到那位巫师，”他说道，“他是位非常出色且非常有名的巫师，但没人能见到他。”“我们必须见见他，”多萝西说道，“请让他带我们去吧！”“好吧，”那个绿衣人说道，“我可以带你们去他家，但首先你们所有人都必须戴上眼镜。”他打开一个大箱子。里面有许多副眼镜。“你们必须一直戴着眼镜，”他说，“城里所有人都必须戴眼镜。巫师这么说的。”于是他们都戴上了眼镜。那个绿衣人也戴上了眼镜。然后他带着他们穿过了翡翠城。城里的所有事物都是绿色的——男人、女人、孩子、房屋、商店、街道。那个绿人带他们来到一座非常大的房子前，然后他们走进了一个长长的绿色房间。“在这儿等着吧。”他说。过了一会儿，他回来了。“你可以见到巫师了，”他说，“但你们必须一个一个地去见他。他想先见到那个小女孩。”然后他离开了，一个绿衣女孩走了进来。她带着多萝西来到一扇高高的绿色门前。“巫师在里面，”绿衣女孩说，“他在等你。”多萝西走了进去。在一张绿色的椅子上有一个非常非常大的脑袋。没有身体、胳膊或腿——只有一个脑袋。它的嘴巴张开，脑袋说道：“我是奥兹，你是谁？想要什么？”“我是多萝西，”孩子勇敢地说。“你从哪儿得到那些红色鞋子的？”“东方的恶女巫，”多萝西说，“我的房子压倒了她并杀了她。”“你脸上的那个东西是什么？”“一个吻。北方的好女巫亲了我，”多萝西说，“我需要帮助，她告诉了我关于你的消息。”“那你想要什么？”“我想回堪萨斯去，”多萝西回答，“但我不知道路。请帮我回家吧。”那双大眼睛睁了又闭，闭了又开。然后嘴巴张开，脑袋再次说话了。“好吧，”它说道，“或许我能帮到你，但首先你得为我做一件事。”“你想要我做什么？”多萝西问道。“杀死西边的那个邪恶女巫。”“但我不想杀任何人啊。”多萝西说道。“你杀了她姐姐，而且你还穿着她的鞋子。现在赶紧去杀死西边的那个女巫吧。”小女孩开始哭泣起来。“但我怎么才能杀死那个女巫呢？”她说。那双大眼睛睁开了，看向她，但脑袋却没有回应。多萝西离开了，随后她的朋友们走进了巫师的房间。先是稻草人，然后是铁皮人，最后是狮子。后来，他们都来到了那间长长的绿色房间里交谈。多萝西向她的朋友们讲述了那个脑袋的事。“那很有趣，”稻草人说，“我没有看到一个脑袋。我看到的是一位美丽的女子。我向她要了一些头脑，她说：‘可以，但首先你必须帮助多萝西杀死西方女巫。'”“我看到一只有两只脑袋的大型动物，”铁皮人说，“我想要一颗心。那只动物说：‘我可以给你一颗心，但首先你必须帮助多萝西杀死西方女巫。'你看到了什么？狮子。”“哦，我看到一个火球。”胆小的狮子说，“我说：‘我是个胆小鬼，请让我勇敢起来。'然后那火球说：‘等西方女巫死了之后，我可以帮助你。但在此之前不行。'”“我当时很生气，”狮子说，“但那个火球变得越来越大，所以我跑开了。”“哦，我们该怎么办？”多萝西说。“嗯，”稻草人说，“我们必须找到西方女巫，然后我们必须杀死她。”

Naturist spaces promise relief from judgment—but that promise can fray when unspoken standards creep in. This episode listens closely to how body positivity, despite its good intentions, can quietly reproduce pressure and exclusion, especially around weight and health. By centering body neutrality instead, the essay reframes nudity as an experiential practice rather than a visual one, asking what it really means to share space without appraisal when every body is visible.

In this episode, I'm joined by Melanie Cote, the creator behind The Curvy Runner, and Fuel Train Recover Club member, to share her honest and inspiring journey into running. From starting with one-minute intervals to crossing the finish line of her first half marathon at RunDisney.Melanie opens up about what motivated her to start running, why she chose to share her journey online, and how embracing a body-positive, joy-first approach completely changed her relationship with movement. We dive into her first half marathon training cycle, the mistakes she made, what surprised her most, and the moments she's most proud of along the way.We also get into the fueling side of things, like how Melanie realized she needed extra support, what nutrition advice she had to unlearn, and the changes she made to her fueling that paid off on race day. From carb loading and race-morning breakfast to pacing, mid-race fueling, and recovery, Melanie shares the real, behind-the-scenes details runners are always curious about.This conversation is a powerful reminder that running doesn't have to be about punishment, shrinking your body, or chasing perfection. It can be about confidence, consistency, and showing up exactly as you are.Looking for the resources mentioned in today's episode?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your free fueling audit here!⁠And if you're ready for more support, I've got options—whether it's my brand-new ebook⁠ ⁠Fuel Smarter, Run Stronger⁠⁠, my group program⁠ ⁠The Fuel Train Recover Club,⁠⁠ or apply for limited spots in my personalized⁠ ⁠1:1 coaching ⁠⁠programs.

How can Jewish tradition help us build a world that embraces all bodies? In this episode, we share a powerful conversation between Rabbi Minna Bromberg, author of the new book Every Body Beloved, and her friend and colleague, Jordan Namerow. Through personal letters, mystical teachings, and reexamined Jewish texts, you'll discover how pursuing health as a mitzvah can include mental and spiritual well-being, not just physical appearance. You'll learn why naming ourselves accurately matters for both fat liberation and Jewish identity, and how being willing to stay with what's painful can build both compassion and fearlessness.   Get full show notes and more information here: http://hebrewcollege.edu/podcast-26

Creative director and choreographer Bhavini Jagpal, founder of Bespoke the Company believes that movement should be for anyone and everyone. We deep dive into her early days as the eldest of three sisters, her experience training and performing with dance companies in London since the age of 16, and the gaps she noticed in the industry that she has made it her mission to fill through her company, Bespoke. We talk about the pressures around looking and dressing a certain way when you are performing, but also when training. We also discuss the nature of collaborative working in a dance team as well as creating a family atmosphere where people feel safe for their voice and opinion to be heard, where everyone is treated equally.Something that comes up near the end is this concept of a dance 'avatar' which really hit home. This idea that you can temporarily separate from yourself when you're performing, and that is actually a healthy thing.(00:00) Introduction to Bhavini Jagpal, founder of Bespoke(02:35) Adapting Bespoke to the digital age(04:30) The values and ethos behind the company(06:30) Going from being loud to more introverted(09:20) Exploring team dynamics(13:40) The pressure of being the founder(14:30) Making the headspace to create(18:30) Dance styles covered across the team(23:25) Movies were the heart and soul of my inspiration(26:00) Bhavini's dance training journey(28:06) You shouldn't have to look or dress a certain way to be a dancer or take class(43:15) Maintaining focus and clarity on what Bespoke stands for(49:00) Non-desi choreographers that inspire Bhavini(50:37) The dance avatar(54:02) Bespoke's Europe Tour(58:50) The process of hiring new dancers(01:00:40) On taking Bespoke full time(01:06:10) What does Bhavini have strong game in?Find Bhavini and Bespoke on: Bespoke's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bespokethecompany/Bhavini's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bhavini_jagpal/To be the first to get updates on new episodes, please do give us a subscribe or follow!

(1:00:31) #Quah question #4 –  How do you deal with a mass number of clients? I have 17 clients right now (big box gym) and am finding it difficult to stay on top of their programming and progress at times.

In today's episode, personal trainer and future pelvic floor physical therapist Röbynn Europe demystifies all things pelvic floor health: what it is, why it matters, and how to get help when needed. Röbynn breaks down the “core as a box” (diaphragm, abs, back, pelvic floor), explains Kegels beyond the basics (the dreaded/loved “elevator” holds), and shares signs something needs attention: from incontinence to painful sex, low-back/groin pain, and post-birth changes (including after C-sections).

In this episode, we discussed:The “core as a box” model and why pelvic floor strength anchors itKegels, including progressive “elevator” reps and timed holdsRed flags to look out for: different types of incontinence, incomplete emptying, painful sex, pelvic/low-back painPostpartum & the value of pelvic floor therapy even after a C-sectionThe importance of pelvic health for menThe value of representation and knowledge in improving Black health outcomes through pelvic floor care

Dan & Billy welcome Naomi Carmack, the host of Dope Nostalgia, to put Halloween Music Videos to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST! “Other people's kids are so creepy.” -Naomi This Spooky Season episode takes Dan, Billy, and their guest Naomi Carmack down a very weird music video path. 5-years ago, Dan & Manny put another five videos to the ultimate test, and so Dan had to really go searching for some real nostalgic gens this time. They dig into videos from The Backstreet Boys, the Ramones, Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. Their spooky conversation covers everything from creepy children, Backstreet never really being gone, the power of Ozzy's absolute insanity, low budget videos vs high budget videos, the Emo spirit of late-80s Ramones, and what exactly is Dragula? Also, they do a deep dive into the Will Smith video for “Nightmare on my Street” and Dan points out the odd Winnie the Pooh bedtime getup that Will Smith is wearing in the video, and is that a shot of his underwear (watch the episode to see this still shot)?

After relocating to London in 1983, the band recorded six Peel Sessions for BBC Radio and released their debut album for Rough Trade called 'Everybody Is Fantastic'. This week's guest, musician, filmmaker, podcaster and radio host Alexei Shishkin, joins us to discuss the band and that record.
