  Today Razib talks to Noah Millman. Millman is an American screenwriter and filmmaker, as well as a political columnist and cultural critic based in Brooklyn, New York. He is the film and theater critic for Modern Age; previously he was a columnist for The Week (2015–2022) and a senior editor at The American Conservative (2012–2017). Millman writes the newsletter Gideon's Substack, and his work has also appeared in outlets such as The New York Times and Politico. He graduated from Yale University and initially worked on Wall Street for 16 years, starting in a hedge fund's mail room, before leaving after the financial crisis to pursue creative endeavors full-time. Millman has been a producer on seven films, and written three and directed three. His most recent film is Resentment, and he is working on a novel, Fables of a Jewish Century. Razib and Millman begin their conversation discussing their history as bloggers who began writing early in the first decade of the century, in the wake of George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq. Millman discusses his disillusionment with neoconservatism, and his evolution into a moderate, if heterodox, Democrat. They also discuss their positionality in a political commentary landscape that has radically shifted over the last twenty years, and what it's like to be strongly partisan. They discuss how their views of religion have changed, especially in the wake of the New Atheist movement after 9/11 and the emergence of psychedelic spirituality in the 2020s. Millman articulates his views as a Jew whose own theological commitments are minimal, stating that he believes that the “Hindus are right about God” but John Calvin was probably right about humans. In the second half of the discussion, they pivot to the arts, beginning with how film as a medium has developed over the last generation, from the high tide of independent films in 1999 and through the “comic book” movie heyday of the 2010s, and on finally to the reemergence of more classic movies like Tom Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick 2 and Brad Pitt's F1. Razib argues that the Marvel universe exhausted its creative possibilities, and the same content no longer compels the younger generations, especially in a 90-minute format. Millman addresses whether film as a medium has reached the end of the line as a mass medium, and how fan-culture and “stan” culture has transformed the experience of the arts. He also asserts that cultural fragmentation is driven by technology, as consumers have a much greater range of options in their choices than in the past. Millman observes that as top-down cultural dynamics have collapsed, shifts are now driven by bottom-up drives. He also argues that movies will ‌continue to be a major art form because filmmaking is now far cheaper than it was in the past, but he is not optimistic about the future of mass-market tent-pole films that can transcend myriad fan subcultures. Movie studios still do not know which films will become hits and which will flop, even the magic of Pixar and Marvel Studios are no longer a sure thing. In fact, Millman argues that fragmentation has masked the revival of art forms like the novel. As the gatekeepers are gone, many consume low art, with middle-aged people reading copious amounts of YA fiction. Millman argues that any aspiring artist needs to grapple with the competitive realities of the new attention economy. Technology has made it easier for anyone to create art because new tools are cheaper and self-publishing is now a real option for writers. However, all of this unleashed creativity is competing for the same amount of funding, support and a relatively fixed audience.

In tonight’s live devotional and Prayer segment, we discuss how many have today fully turned away from sound doctrine and have fully embraced fables, yet another sign of the times.

Can storytelling really transform the way we lead, connect, and communicate at work? In this episode, I'm joined by TEDx speaker, trauma-informed coach, and author of Meerbott's Fables, Kelly Meerbott. Inspired by none other than Dr. Seuss, Kelly's tales aren't just for bedtime—they're changing how leaders talk about tough topics like psychological safety, DEI, burnout, and inclusion. We unpack why storytelling hits so differently today, how it can cut through corporate noise, and why the ability to connect emotionally might just be the most underrated leadership skill of all. Whether you're a CEO or a storyteller-in-waiting remember, if they're not moved, they won't move. ----more---- Key Takeaways If they're not moved, they won't move – Leadership communication needs emotion, not just information. Stories break down resistance – Fables connect with people across neurotypes, roles, and belief systems. Say less, mean more – Jargon kills clarity. Simplicity and humanity create impact. Use story to spark discussion, not silence it – Good stories open space for reflection, disagreement, and growth. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:00:10 – The problems with communication today 0:04:00 – Who is Kelly Meerbott?

In this episode, we sit down with legendary creator Bill Willingham to explore his remarkable journey from role-playing game artist to one of comics' most celebrated storytellers. Bill opens up about his early days working on RPGs and how that experience shaped his approach to worldbuilding in comics. From his 1980s creator-owned series Elementals to his 150+ issue, career-defining work on Fables, we dive deep into his storytelling career, while comparing the comics landscape of then versus now. Bill shares insights into his research process for incorporating folklore and mythology into his stories and reflects on his work with DC characters like Tim Drake's Robin and the supernatural heroes of Shadowpact. We also explore his approach to writing morally complex characters, ,the creative challenges of reimagining established heroes in the steampunk world of Legenderry, and how his background as an artist influences his collaboration with other creators.You can follow Bill on X @BillWillingham or subscribe to his Substack here: billwillingham.substack.com.Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.

Dans Fables, l'auteur et performeur Anne-James Chaton a imaginé 145 histoires à partir de 145 tickets de caisse. 2 salades césar  3 expressos 1 orange pressée  0,230 g de brie de Meaux.  Les tickets de caisse peuvent-ils nous raconter une histoire ? À partir de tickets de caisse du monde entier, qu'ils soient personnels, donnés par des amis ou de parfaits inconnus, le poète, auteur Anne-James Chaton a imaginé 145 histoires.  C'est en lisant L'art poétique en vers de Nicolas Boileau que lui vient l'idée de cet OVNI littéraire. Le philosophe du XVIIè siècle énonce dans cet ouvrage les règles que devaient suivre tous les dramaturges « Qu'en un lieu, en un jour, un seul fait accompli tienne jusqu'à la fin le théâtre rempli ». Et c'est exactement ce qu'on retrouve sur un ticket de caisse ! Avec un lieu d'achat, une date et une action...  Il fallait rapidement écrire ces histoires avant qu'elles ne disparaissent avec l'encre thermique !  Avec ces mots inscrits sur le ticket, l'auteur sélectionne certains mots, qu'il peut détourner, et écrit de très courts textes en se fixant des contraintes littéraires. Cela peut être des histoires d'amour, de la science-fiction, des romans d'aventure. Il ajoute de la fiction au réel et vice-versa ! L'auteur se fait également apparaître, dans le livre, comme une forme d'auto-fiction. Fables s'inscrit aussi dans le travail de poésie sonore de l'auteur. Les histoires sont parfois écrites immédiatement après l'achat, cette recherche d'immédiateté se retrouve par ailleurs dans ses performances et ses enregistrements comme dans le titre Barack Obama sur l'album Événement 2009.   J'ai bcp travaillé sur la répétition. Dans la poésie sonore, on recherche le rythme à l'intérieur de la langue. Anne-James Chaton s'est toujours inspiré d'auteurs pour écrire ses ouvrages. Dans son précédent titre Sur la terre, publié chez POL en 2024, le performeur s'était appuyé sur l'Histoire naturelle de 77 de Pline l'Ancien.  Je ne jette pas l'écrit sur la page, je suis d'abord un lecteur. C'est d'abord en tant que lecteur que je commence à écrire, j'écris à partir de textes qui me semblent pouvoir dire quelque chose du monde dans lequel on est.    Invité : Anne-James Chaton, poète, auteur, performeur. L'ouvrage Fables est publié aux éditions POL.  Programmation musicale : l'artiste Solann avec le titre Oiseau.

In a special twist for this episode, David interviews Mark-Eugene Garcia during a Friday the 13th birthday book signing celebrating the publication of his three plays: With Bated Breath, Eight Tales of Pedro, and Goat Blood. They dive into Mark-Eugene's two-decade journey as a Chicano playwright—from his first musical Up in the Air, which evolved into the wild, sex-fueled satire With Bated Breath, to his current work exploring Latine stories rooted in heritage, myth, and horror. Joining them are Sergio Caetano and Hraban Luyat, two original cast members from Goat Blood, who give a chilling live performance of the play's opening scene. The featured works span a mythic border-crossing folktale (Eight Tales of Pedro), a monster thriller layered with grief and identity (Goat Blood), and a surreal small-town comedy about religious repression and pharmaceutical chaos (With Bated Breath). It's a rich conversation about storytelling, culture, performance, and the monsters—real and metaphorical—that shape us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of The Professor Liberty Podcast, Mr. Palumbo takes listeners on a journey through the early life of Abraham Lincoln, tracing his transformation from a poor frontier boy in Kentucky to a rising political force. Born into hardship, Lincoln's character was shaped by loss, manual labor, and a relentless hunger for knowledge, which he fed through books like the Bible and Aesop's Fables. The episode highlights key formative experiences—his exposure to slavery as a child, a life-changing visit to a slave market in New Orleans, and his early political stances opposing slavery's expansion. Through humor, storytelling, and historical insight, Mr. Palumbo explores how Lincoln's evolving moral convictions and legal intellect laid the groundwork for his future role as a leader dedicated to justice and unity.

In this episode, we talk about ants, grasshoppers, scorpions, and a fish named Chris.
