Today it's a special honor to welcome Serhat Tutkal and Hevin Karakurt to Speaking Out of Place. These two scholars engage in a broad discussion of Kurdish history, culture, politics, literature and language, with particular attention to issues of statelessness, identity, and violence. We talk about the current moment with regard to Turkey, Syria, Palestine, and the US-Israel war on Iran and beyond. We use as a starting poet Serhat's remarkable essay, “Note from Non-People,” and then move to a discussion of his work on dehumanization. We end with imagining paths out of cycles of violence and dehumanization, and consider specifically the way we might imagine new sorts of utopias and vistas of life-affirmation.Hevin Karakurt is a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature at Stanford University, where she studies Kurdish literature across languages and territories. In this way, she works on the question of how a literature of a collective that shares neither one nation nor any one language might function. Before coming to Stanford, she worked as a researcher in the Swiss National Science Foundation funded research project “Half-Truths. Truth, Fiction, and Conspiracy in the ‘Post-Factual' Age”, at the University of Basel.Serhat Tutkal is a Kurdish academic. He is a postdoctoral researcher funded by the Secretariat of Science, Humanities, Technology and Innovation (Secihti) in Mexico. He has a PhD from Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá) with a dissertation on the legitimation and delegitimation of Colombian state violence. He mainly works on violence, racism, and dehumanization in West Asia and Latin America

Novelist, memoirist, and Corporeal Writing founder Lidia Yuknavitch on writing from the body, finding form in the natural world, and why the stories we need most come from the places we've been afraid to go. You'll learn Why the element that makes you vibrate — water, forest, rock, wind — might be the key to unlocking your creative access path. How to find your core metaphors through a body-based meditation practice and why they keep showing up in your work for a reason. A practical portal for memoir writers: revisit one memory from three different ages and watch the story completely change each time. Why abandoning linear plot doesn't mean abandoning form, and how the natural world is full of story shapes waiting to be borrowed. What Virginia Woolf's line about arranging the pieces taught one writer about nonlinear structure and letting go of chronology. Why telling your ego to go eat a sandwich might be the first step toward trusting your creative intuition. How a writing community built on generative response instead of critique can change what's possible on the page. The difference between prompts and portals, and why a small language shift can transform how you approach a draft. Why writers who've survived the hardest things carry a skillset the rest of the world urgently needs right now. A reframe for anyone afraid of writing badly: if all life is change, the fear of doing it wrong is smaller than you think. Resources & Links

671. On this episode of the Louisiana Anthology Podcast, we are joined by Kayla Hardy to discuss her new novel, Quarter Queen. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century New Orleans, the story follows a young woman's journey through the mystique and social complexities of the French Quarter. Kayla shares how she blended historical research with rich storytelling to capture the spirit of an era where power and tradition often collided. We dive into the inspirations behind her protagonist and what it means to reclaim a seat at the table in a city defined by its secrets. She earned a doctorate in English, specializing in creative writing and African American literature, from Binghamton University at age twenty-six. Dr. Hardy served as an adjunct professor at Binghamton University and is an avid scholar and lover of Black folklore, mythology, and Voodoo. Inspired by her Louisiana Creole ancestry and familial lineage of rootwork and magic, Kayla aims to tell diverse-driven horror and dark fantasy stories. Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

This episode features Dr. Linzi Wilson-Wilde and Hannah Jarman discussing the realities of forensic science beyond shows like CSI. Through cases such as the Phantom of Heilbronn case and Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton, they explore how flawed evidence and forensic myths have contributed to wrongful convictions. They also examine common misconceptions around techniques like bite mark analysis, fire investigation, and glass evidence. The conversation emphasises the importance of approaching forensic science holistically, recognising it as just one piece of the broader investigative puzzle. www.epistemicsolutions.com.au/

On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Show — powered by CJ Moneyway Entertainment and Bleav Network — CJ sits down with Humphrey Hawksley, one of the most experienced foreign correspondents of our time. Humphrey's career with the BBC took him into crises around the world — from being expelled in Sri Lanka, to opening the BBC's television bureau in China, to being arrested in Serbia. His documentaries have tackled human rights abuses in global trade, the failures of international development, nuclear industry risks, and the dangers of imposing Western‑style democracy too quickly. He is the author of acclaimed fiction and non‑fiction, including the Future History series (Dragon Strike, Dragon Fire, The Third World War), and Democracy Kills: What's so good about the vote?, a tie‑in to his documentary critique of modern democracy. In this episode, CJ and Humphrey dive into: • What it's like to report from active conflict zones and what the world misses when journalists can't get in • How geopolitical tensions shape economic markets, power balances, and future wars • Lessons from his thrillers — and how fiction can reveal deeper truths about real geopolitical dynamics • The risks and realities of applying Western democracy models in other societies • How global events can affect personal wealth, national security, and future stability This conversation is for anyone who wants to understand not just what is happening in the world — but why it matters to leadership, economy, and strategy.

Even before the mountain began to rumble, one mortal had begun to doubt his decadent gods. Genre: Mythology   Excerpt:We are descended from a powerful people. So it is said. The most powerful our world has ever known. Their might unmatched. Their domain unending. Their eyes all-seeing. I am nothing next to them. I am a blade of grass underfoot. A mayfly blinking in and out of existence. A mortal. But today I will discover if there are forces in the world mightier than the gods. For today is the day I bring them down.   The Wheel of Fiction Turns. What did it land on this time?Each Season 9 story follows a theme chosen by the Wheel of Fiction. Thirteen spokes. Eight are the themes from previous seasons. One is "Turn Again." One is a wild card. And three are covered in question marks and will be revealed when the wheel lands on them. See a story trailer and a (satisfying) video of the wheel turning here: Forge of the Forsaker This episode landed on REVISITATION.

Bottom half of frame, a human figure with dark red skin is seen from waist up stands before a rock face. A network of glowing vessels cover the skin. The figure is covered in black smoke so that only one eye is partly visible, and portions of the arms and waist. The right arm is raised, hand in a fist. Glowing yellow spikes of light emanate from the fist. The left arm is bent in front, gripping a chain that is connected to the waist. Through the smoke, more chains are just visible attached to the waist. Glowing streams of lava and gray-white smoke run down the rock face around the figure. Watermark of "Storyfeather" on rock face along the raised arm.

The Oscars may have come and gone, the speeches have been made, and the dust has (mostly) settled—but here at Ticket Stubs, we're not quite finished with 2025 just yet. A little late, perhaps, but right on time where it counts, we're officially closing the book on the cinematic year that was with our 3rd Annual Harry Dean Awards—the true final word on awards season. Join us as we take one last affectionate look back at the highs, lows, and, above all else, the most memorable moments in film from the past year. From defining performances and standout directorial efforts to our favorite oddball distinctions, returning legends, and everything in between, we sort through a wide array of categories both heartfelt and slightly irreverent. As always, it all builds toward our ultimate honors: Filmmaker of the Year and Film of the Year. Awards season may have crowned its winners—but now it's our turn to have the final say.

Send us Fan MailWere you obsessed with antiquity, myths, and homemade costumes when you were a child? If so, have we got the book for you! This episode we revisit an oldie but a goodie: Zilpha Keatley Snyder's classic children's book, The Egypt Game. We love the nuanced characters, genuinely exciting and surprising plot twists, and relate to Melanie and April's love of imagination games. Hannah relates to being "the keeper of the lashes" even though we all bemoan the health and safety concerns of continuously recycled fake lashes. We enjoyed the hijinks of our core group of five "Egyptians" (plus Security the octopus) and are thrilled by the depiction of a good librarian. We talk about the blending of pretty dark topics (parental abandonment, an actual murder of a child) with the delight of childhood imagination, friendships, and accepting others for who they are and the importance of feeling understood. These Books Made Me is a podcast about the literary heroines who shaped us and is a product of the Prince George's County Memorial Library System podcast network.

Have you ever felt like you need a "permission slip" to try a different creative path, even when you're already "successful" in another? In this episode, I'm talking with award-winning screenwriter Leslie Rasmussen, who spent years in the high-pressure world of comedy writing for iconic television shows like Roseanne, The Drew Carey Show, and Sweet Valley High before pivoting to her true passion: writing novels. If you are an exhausted perfectionist who feels stuck in a specific professional lane or fears that your creative spark has a deadline, Leslie's journey from the TV writer's room to the "Wild West" of fiction will show you how to reclaim your own narrative. Most creative advice tells you to pick a lane and stay there or to follow a rigid corporate productivity system. But on this podcast, we believe in messy, joyful creativity for people who are tired of the pressure to perform. We focus on the life force of your work—not just the output.   Episode breakdown: 0:00 Transitioning from TV scripts to fiction 4:15 Growing up creative in Los Angeles 8:30 Breaking into Hollywood as an assistant 12:45 Challenges for women in comedy writing 17:20 The role of mentorship and networking 21:50 Working on ALF and Carol and Company 26:10 How actors help writers find their voice 31:45 The difference between sitcoms and animation 36:30 Outlining vs writing by the seat of your pants 41:15 Working with developmental editors 46:50 The reality of the TV writers room at 2 AM 51:20 From a nutrition business back to storytelling 56:45 The vulnerability of professional book reviews 59:10 Writing about family secrets and sisters 1:00:58 Final advice and closing thoughts   Want more?

Fact and fiction may seem poles apart but writers Esi Edugyan and Tiya Miles find the two intertwine perfectly in their award-winning storytelling. Both authors try to imagine past lives in their work, in part so that we may reimagine our own. They may operate in different realms but what they share is the telling of profoundly important stories that would otherwise go untold. It's been a longtime goal for IDEAS to bring these two accomplished authors together for a discussion — and it was worth the wait.This podcast was recorded in front of an audience in January 2026 at a Toronto Public Library event.

On this episode of Previously On, Jillian and her husband Tyler are diving into a fact check of FX and Hulu's Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette (Episodes 1 thru 8), separating the drama from what actually happened in real life. From viral conspiracy theories about JFK Jr. to the truth behind Daryl Hannah's portrayal, Carolyn's rise at Calvin Klein, and the real story behind some of the show's biggest dramatic moments, we're breaking down what's FACT, FICTION, and WHO KNOWS. We also unpack the rumors surrounding Carolyn and the pressures of life in the spotlight, plus revisit iconic moments like John failing the bar exam, the infamous fight in the park, and how much creative license the series has really taken.

“The story came out of me when it was supposed to come out of me—after living a whole life.” – Leigh Shalloway In this episode of Uncorking a Story, Mike Carlon sits down with novelist and holistic care practitioner Leigh Shalloway to explore the long, winding journey behind her debut novel, Journey Back to You. From a third‑grade writing setback to decades of professional work in psychology, hospice care, and healing touch, Leigh shares how lived experience, perseverance, and compassion shaped both her voice as a writer and the emotional depth of her story. Together, they discuss class divides, family systems, grief, love, and what it truly means to come home to yourself. Key Takeaways: Stories sometimes wait for us to be ready. Leigh's novel emerged decades after its first seed was planted—only after life experience gave her the depth it required.  Resilience is one of a writer's greatest characteristics. From harsh editorial feedback to vision loss and countless rewrites, perseverance made publication possible.  Fiction and psychology are deeply intertwined. Leigh's background in counseling and school psychology informs her nuanced portrayal of family systems, trauma, and growth.  Class divides still shape American communities. Journey Back to You uses a Pennsylvania steel town to explore “haves” and “have-nots” with empathy and realism. Hospice work teaches us how to live. Bearing witness at the end of life deepened Leigh's understanding of humanity, grief, and connection.  Publishing doesn't have one right path. Leigh chose a hybrid publishing model to get her story into the world—and keep writing the next ones. Healing is both personal and communal. The novel's central journey mirrors Leigh's belief that growth happens through relationships, not in isolation.  Buy Journey Back to You Amazon: https://amzn.to/4rJ6sMr Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/a/54587/9798897470181 Connect with Leigh Website: https://www.hilltownseries.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leighshalloway/ Connect with Mike Website: https://uncorkingastory.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@uncorkingastory Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncorkingastory/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uncorkingastory TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@uncorkingastory Twitter: https://twitter.com/uncorkingastory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/uncorking-a-story/ If you like this episode, please share it with a friend.

This week, I talk with writing duo Katherine Greene, aka Claire C. Riley and A. Meredith Walkters, about their new small town thriller Where the Truth Lies! We dive into: Writing a thriller inspired by real-life events and the challenge of balancing fiction with truth How this story came from Abbi's family history and a decades-old newspaper clipping The emotional difficulty of writing characters based on real people vs. fictionalizing them Crafting multiple POVs + dual timelines to build tension and a fuller picture of the crime Exploring toxic masculinity and how it develops, including how “nice” men can be influenced The concept of the “perfect victim” and how readers often unfairly judge women vs. men Where The Truth Lies Synopsis A picture-perfect couple's sordid past threatens to rock a sleepy southern town to its core. Told in alternating timelines and inspired by real events, this multi-POV thriller explores toxic masculinity, gender-based violence, and female rage in the tradition of Darby Kane. Childhood sweethearts Rhett and Lucinda seem to have the perfect marriage, the child they always wanted, and even the white picket fence. But fifteen years ago, the couple came very close to losing everything. When outsider Jennifer Moore arrived in their tight-knit Kentucky town, a brief but explosive affair between the newcomer and the soon-to-be-married Rhett stirred up a violent storm of betrayal that ended with a dead body and a mystery riddled in corruption and deception. Now, new evidence has surfaced-including an eyewitness who places Rhett at the scene of the brutal crime. Soon, the carefully constructed life Rhett and Lucinda built starts to crumble-and the truth waiting beneath the surface could destroy them both. In a town steeped in deadly southern charm, secrets don't fade-they fester.

This week, I talk with Olesya Salnikova Gilmore about her historical-suspense The Fortune Tellers of Rue Daru. We dive into: Her writing process as a "plantser" Why she's drawn to dark genres: historical fiction, gothic, fantasy, mystery How blending genres creates tension and unpredictability How she has experienced and writes about the “in-between” feeling of not fully belonging to one culture How she processed grief through this story Her research of Slavic folklore and Western spiritualism movements The Fortune Tellers of Rue Daru Synopsis Spirited twenty-something Zina and her secretive grandmother, Baba Valya, own a tearoom on rue Daru in Paris, where they have lived quietly since Zina's mother's untimely death. By day, the women serve tea, mostly to members of the bustling Russian émigré community, but when dusk falls, they divine fortunes and perform séances for their loyal clientele. Then the charming Princess Olga and her brother arrive, searching for answers about the disappearance of their father, the Grand Duke and cousin to the murdered last Tsar of Russia. Zina, eager to learn more about the spirit world and her powers, performs the séance. She is able to summon the Grand Duke, but to her horror, he starts to haunt the shop, and he seems to know something sinister about her mother's death. As Zina delves into her family's hidden past, dark secrets are unearthed, threatening Zina and her grandmother's found family, home, and tearoom, not to mention their very lives.

7:00 HOUR: Two Grand Slam, Tigers Fact or Fiction

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Tim Weed, author of the book The Afterlife Project. Tim Weed is the author of four books of fiction. His recent novel, The Afterlife Project, was named a best book of 2025 by Library Journal and the Toronto Star. He's won multiple Writer's Digest Annual Fiction Awards and his work has been shortlisted for the Eric Hoffer Book Award, the Tobias Wolff Award for Fiction, the Prism Prize for Climate Literature, the Fish International Short Story Award, the William Faulkner-William Wisdom Award for a Novel-in-Progress, the New Rivers Many Voices Project, and many others. His essays and articles have appeared in Writers Digest, Literary Hub, The Revelator, The Millions, The Writer's Chronicle, Talking Points Memo, The Good Men Project, and elsewhere.   Tim serves on the core faculty of the Newport MFA in Creative Writing and is the co-founder of the Cuba Writers Program. A former featured expert for National Geographic Expeditions, he spent the first part of his career directing international educational programs throughout Latin America and in Spain, Portugal, Australia, Iceland, and other locations around the globe.   He holds a BA in Spanish from Middlebury College, a master's in international affairs from the University of California, and an MFA in Creative Writing from Warren Wilson College. He occasionally leads international travel programs and appears often at writing conferences and other events in the U.S. and abroad.   In my book review, I stated The Afterlife Project is a dystopian science fiction by Tim Weed. I can honestly say I am shocked by how much I enjoyed this book. I tend not to like science fiction or dystopian literature. However, this one had me from moment one. Why? The characters! We get into the head of Nick, a microbiologist, who is now 10,000 years into the future due to the cataclysmic climate issues caused by humans. We also follow the last remaining members of the Centauri crew in 2068 - tasked with trying to save the species through a journal kept by Alejandra. We skip back and forth between the two time periods, always wondering if the human race survives.   Tim did an amazing job describing a world 10,000 years after it's destruction by humans - as well as what it would be like to live in a climate crisis - all without being preachy. He manages this by letting us see the world through the imperfect eyes of the characters. They make mistakes. They trust the wrong people. They believe in miracles that aren't likely to happen. They do the wrong thing for the right reasons. Just like you and just like me.   I couldn't put this book down and have already recommended it to several friends. It's a must-read!   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Tim Weed Website: https://timweed.net/ IG: @timweedwriter FB: @timweedauthor LinkedIn: @Tim Weed   Purchase The Afterlife Project on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/3OehfPL Ebook: https://amzn.to/49POn91   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

If you only listen to one episode this year to ground your understanding of ADHD, make it this one. We are dipping back into the archives to bring you a masterclass from Dr. Stephen Faraone, a world-renowned expert ranked in the top 0.01% of scientists globally. In a world of 60-second TikTok "diagnoses" and viral misinformation, Dr. Faraone joins William to discuss the ADHD Evidence Project. They strip away the noise to look at what 208 internationally supported research statements actually tell us about the ADHD brain. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/202 What's Inside This Encore: The "Pyramid of Evidence": Why a charismatic story on social media isn't the same as a peer-reviewed meta-analysis. Debunking the "Modern Invention" Myth: Did you know ADHD was described in medical texts as far back as the 1700s? The Truth About Environment: From "Screen Time" to "Bad Parenting" and what actually causes ADHD (and what definitely doesn't). The Medication Gap: A look at the real-world costs of not treating ADHD, including the staggering statistics within prison populations. The "Default Mode Network": A fascinating look at why the ADHD brain struggles to flip the switch between daydreaming and "Executive Mode." Why We're Re-Sharing This: This episode serves as a vital "BS detector" for anyone navigating ADHD. Dr. Faraone reminds us that while ADHD is a significant part of our lives, it doesn't define our entire identity: it's just the operating system we're working with.
