In this episode, we are joined by Canadian-born, UK-based debut author Grace Flahive, whose humorous and heart-warming speculative fiction novel, Palm Meridian, was recently published by Simon & Schuster Canada. Palm Meridian is described as "a rollicking, big-hearted story of long-lost love, friendship, and a life well-lived, set at a Florida retirement resort for queer women, on the last day of resident Hannah Cardin's life." We were so excited to be joined by Grace to discuss her writing career, her previous work in publishing, and more. Be sure to grab a copy of Palm Meridian, available on Kobo now! We spoke to Grace about her journey to becoming an author, what inspired her to write this story, how she depicted death and mortality in her novel alongside levity and humour, why she chose to focus her story on the queer community, what makes this novel speculative fiction, and much more! Follow Grace on Instagram to learn more.

Today we're going to take a friend's Substack post and turn it into one of the best podcast hours you'll have this summer…and maybe give you some ideas about books you need to take with you for the July 4th weekend.From Claude's May 23rd Substack:From the gun decks of HMS Indefatigable to the command chair of a futuristic starship, the portrayal of naval officers in fiction has evolved alongside society's changing views of leadership, warfare, and heroism. The archetype of the naval officer has been shaped not only by historical precedent but also by the imaginative needs of authors responding to their times.Show Links:The Fictional Officer Corps: From Hornblower to Stark, by Claude BerubeThe Connor Stark novels and other books, by Claude BerubeThe Hornblower Series, by C. S. ForesterAubrey/Maturin Novels, by Patrick O'BrianThe Caine Mutiny, by Herman WoukStar Trek: The Original SeriesRun Silent, Run Deep, by Edward L. BeachHonor Harrington Series, by David WeberThe Winds of War, by Herman WoukMister Roberts, by Thomas HeggenWicked, by Gregory MaguireStar Wars' Boba FettP.T. DeutermanMary CelesteSummaryIn this episode of Midrats, Sal, Mark, and Claude Berube discuss the evolution of naval fiction and its impact on leadership. They explore how naval characters in literature reflect societal changes and the complexities of leadership in both historical and modern contexts. The conversation delves into moral dilemmas faced by leaders, the significance of character development, and the challenges of internal rivalries within naval settings. Additionally, they touch on the importance of historical accuracy in fiction and the future of naval literature in a rapidly changing world.TakeawaysFiction serves as a unique tool for exploring leadership.Naval characters in literature evolve with societal changes.Moral dilemmas are central to understanding leadership.Internal rivalries can challenge leadership effectiveness.Historical accuracy enhances the depth of naval stories.The readership among young people is declining.Stories about the human condition resonate deeply with readers.The future of naval literature faces uncertainties.Understanding the past is essential for shaping future narratives.Chapters00:00: Introduction to the Conversation02:00: The Evolution of Naval Fiction04:03: Character Development in Naval Literature13:55: Leadership and Command in Fiction20:36: Moral Dilemmas in Naval Leadership25:40: The Future of Naval Literature28:46: The Evolution of Heroism at Sea31:06: Leadership Dynamics in Fiction and Reality35:27: Character Studies in Leadership41:02: Navigating Internal Rivalries46:24: The Changing Landscape of Naval Literature

In this action-packed episode, we dive deep into the UFC 316 card happening this Saturday, June 7, at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. The main event features a highly anticipated rematch between bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili and former champ Sean O'Malley., while the co-main event sees women's bantamweight champion Julianna Peña defending her title against Kayla Harrison, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and former PFL champion. We also discuss our best bets and prop bets for the big card. In a fun twist, Travis introduces "Fictional ChatGPT Fights," where we imagine matchups between characters from One Tree Hill and Friday Night Lights. Who would win in a brawl between Tim Riggins and Nathan Scott? We debate the outcomes of these hypothetical showdowns. Ethan kicks off the episode with some hot takes on recent MLB and NBA developments, setting the stage for a lively discussion. Grab a drink, settle in, and join us for this entertaining and insightful episode!

Howdy and so long! We hate to say it, but season 3 is about to be in the rearview mirror. Wow. 3 Seasons. It's incredibly humbling to have been able to make it this far, so let me start off by speaking for both Idiots when I say thank you, thank you, thank you for supporting us then, now, and in the future.  As has become a tradition, we like to end or begin seasons with more lighthearted things, and we brought back Dr. Dean Scott for this season closer, and he bookends the season nicely. We talk all sorts of fictional creatures, some from books suggested to us by the Brain Witch Idiot, and some from Dean's books. These include dragons and griffins from the Empyrian Series (for the love of god, Rebecca Yarros, please don't sue me) and the Harry Potter series (for the love of god, JK Rowling, please learn about love) and critters from Scott's book series "The Dragon Vet" and "The Half-Life of Grief". Everything Scott writes is amazing, please, check him out, but check out our second conversation with him. Then, inbetween waiting for next season to drop and re-listening to our entire back log and listening to Cory Johnson and the Broken Nightscape's musical breadth, you can read his many books. You can find the Common Idiot's music on any streaming service. You can also hear a song written and performed in about an hour (without the studio, so the quality isn't great, but it's an homage to you!) at the end of this episode, which may or may not eventually be on all streaming services, with the rest of my music. Also, still planning on a full album out soon. Still so excited. While I'm stealing the spotlight and being selfish for a second, I do want to take a moment to be vulnerable. I have a bit of a...stomach issue. The doctors are still working on figuring out what it is exactly. Don't worry, this isn't a "I have 3 months to live" message, but it's still important to be open. The best guess is GERD, but it presents in a lot of different ways. There are some other health complications that might be along side and either exacerbating the problem, or being a menace of its own. Unsure, and unclear. The worst part, from a performer's standpoint, is I sometimes have difficulty swallowing, and I'm quite literally unable to do anything until it passes. So, if you've heard times where it sounds like I'm letting out a big sigh of disinterest, it is because I'm finally drawing my first breath in 30 seconds, or have moments where I pause for a long time between words, same thing. Adding to this is I have a tic in my face that sort of comes and goes, and I think sometimes these two problems love to tag team me into submission. It honestly has affected my confidence, but that's a whole different thing. The problem manifests itself, too, with a lot of burping, or even just throat sound from my esophogus doing...idk, bullshit things. I normally edit it all out, but it's often extremely time consuming. I did not do that in this one, and it can be heard. I apologize if it sickens you. I'm not a fan of the sound, hopefully everything else distracts nicely. There have been a few other episodes where it was there and I either missed them in editing, or ran out of time and had to leave them. I shied away, I'm not anymore. Also, I'm seeking treatment, trying to fix it, and hopefully it will never be a problem in the future.  A note about Kent. I want to take a second to just thank my best friend on this whole fucking planet for being with me in this. He could have picked a lot more qualified people to run this with, he chose me. He does tend to make poor life choices. Anyway, I love you, brother. Stepping off the soapbox, send questions and hate mail for Deano at @toonfull Insta Dean Scott Facebook funnyvet.com toonfull@gmail.com Find all his books on Amazon, Kindle, or reach out to him direct. He'll even do doodles and autographs.  Find the Idiots on Facebook using their names Insta @KentMorton @CoryJohnsonatbn @vm4ibi TikTok @dogtorkentandthemutant @CoryJohnsonatbn

There are many changes that can happen in private practice, and they can range, depending on what happens in life, from getting married and changing your name, to rebranding your Canadian private practice and even to discovering more about yourself.  Sometimes, the transition is even more significant—and there's something I'd really like to share with you.  In this episode, I talk about transitioning in a Canadian private practice. This is, both personally and professionally, indeed a significant transition, and with everything so far in my private practice and podcast, sharing tips and advice with you is important to me, especially if you are in a similar boat. Join in to hear, learn, and know how to do more!  In this episode:  Let the necessary parties know  Update your photos and copy  Join a queer and trans therapist network! Let the necessary parties know  ‘If you decide to change your name, let the licensing parties that you are a part of know, even if you are not legally changing your name, it can be beneficial to let them know your preferred name so that they know how to address you.' - Jules Smith  During your transition, it is essential that you continue to keep everything organized and aligned as best you can, since potential and current clients may be searching your name and your Canadian practice's name. Doing this first can help you start the rest of the changes with ease.  Regarding essential communication lines that you may need to change, such as an email address, my provider Hushmail was great in helping me to change my email address without any hassle and they made sure that if someone emails my past email address—those emails will be forwarded to my new email address! Update your photos and copy When you start changing other essential information about you within your business, such as your:  - Photos  - Psychology Today profile information  - Your name  - The copy on your website  - Social media platforms  Be prepared for a possible quiet drop in client outreach. Hopefully it will begin to slowly level out again.  ‘I now present as masculine, so my updated photos look very different, as well as [the fact that] my copy now says that I am a part of the queer and trans community of Halifax—it may take time for clients to recognize and trust my new identity.' - Jules Smith  Either way, before you begin to implement these changes on your website, diversify your income streams or build up an emergency savings fund to keep things financially stable until your Canadian private practice picks up again.  Join a queer and trans therapist network! ‘In Halifax, we have the Queer and Trans Therapists of Nova Scotia … And I really hope that every province has a queer and trans network. If your province doesn't, this is your sign to start one!' - Jules Smith  These networks are incredibly helpful for professional networking with other queer therapists, as well as building community and for possibly finding supervision.

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the phenomenon of fictional incursions, cases where UFOs seem to borrow their shapes and behaviors directly from our collective imagination, pop culture, and folklore. From a Connecticut witness encountering a craft resembling the spaceship from E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, to theories about how cultural expectations shape what we see in the skies, we explore the strange intersection of fiction, folklore, and the paranormal.Is it possible that our own minds, or even the stories we tell, play a role in shaping UFO encounters? Are these manifestations of a deeper intelligence, or simply mirrors of our cultural obsessions? And what does this say about the nature of reality itself?We also examine the "lying saucers" hypothesis: that the UFO phenomenon is adaptive, elusive, and shaped by belief and expectation, not necessarily a nuts-and-bolts extraterrestrial craft. As Dr. Jacques Vallée once said, perhaps we're not encountering beings from the stars, but something far more enigmatic and homegrown, entities that challenge our very understanding of space, time, and consciousness.BioJoshua Cutchin has appeared on hundreds of paranormal programs, including Coast to Coast AM, and is regularly invited to speak at paranormal conferences about his work. In addition to his own books, Joshua also regularly contributes to essay collections, most recently Dr. Jack Hunter's Deep Weird (2023) and Dr. Simon Young's The Cottingley Fairies (2024). He has appeared on the hit History Channel television series Ancient Aliens and was featured in 2024's breakout UFO documentary, Cosmosis. He is a regular guest on Where Did the Road Go?, and maintains an online presence at JoshuaCutchin.com.

What happens when your five-year plan falls apart—and you start to like it that way?In Part One, Nicole F. Roberts—Doctor of Public Health, human rights founder, and co-author of Generosity WINS—shares the real story behind her very unpolished path. From flunking chemistry and walking away from med school dreams to launching a human rights firm mid-dissertation, Nicole proves that success isn't always strategic—it's responsive, human, and messy in the best way.We explore how her neuroscience roots shaped her curiosity, why she walked away from Washington policy to chase impact, and what changed when she started listening more to real people than political agendas. This episode is for anyone who's ever hit pause—and realized the reroute was actually the destination.Key Highlights of Our Interview:When the Neurosurgeon Dream Crashed—and Something Better Emerged“I realized I was terrible at chemistry… and didn't want to spend life writing prescriptions.”How Policy Lost Her—and Public Health Found Her“Policy's great—until politics gets involved. I needed to see real change, not just write about it.”A Six-Month Pause That Turned Into Six Years (and a Human Rights Firm)“My dissertation chair died. I got divorced. So I started a human rights firm. As one does.”The Problem with Think Tanks (and the Need to Do, Not Just Think)“I could write papers forever—but what if no one ever acts on them?”When Real Life Rewrote the Dissertation“Those six years gave me a new lens. I rewrote everything—from the topic to the way I thought.”Her Final Research Topic: Why Neuroscience Can't Scale Without Generosity“It turns out collaboration doesn't come easy in science. Ownership often trumps impact.”Why Her Dissertation Still Sits on a Shelf“It was supposed to be my first book. I haven't opened it in years. I just burned out.”Co-Authoring Generosity WINS: When a Business Book Becomes a Neuroscience Playbook“Monty had this premise: success follows giving. I knew the science could back it up—we just had to find the story.”A Business Fable, a Fictional Heroine, and Real-Life Interviews“Every chapter has a QR code that takes you to a real leader's profile.

On the heels of Mother's Day, tune into Memoir Nation this week for a conversation about *mother as character*—among many other potential characters any one of us might be on the page. Guest Nicole Graev Lipson explores the idea of where fiction ends and truth begins when you're a woman through this fascinating conversation prompted by her recent memoir-in-essays Mothers and Other Fictional Characters. If you've ever thought about the boundaries between truth and fiction as a writer or a reader, or the confines certain roles limit women to or within—girl, mother, wife—you won't want to miss this episode. Nicole Graev Lipson is the author of the memoir-in-essays Mothers and Other Fictional Characters. Her writing has been awarded a Pushcart Prize, selected for The Best American Essays anthology, and shortlisted for a National Magazine Award. Her work has appeared in The Sun, Virginia Quarterly Review, The Gettysburg Review, Creative Nonfiction, Fourth Genre, River Teeth, Alaska Quarterly Review, LA Review of Books, The Millions, Nylon, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe, among other publications.

Dali Says=The Persistence of Memory, today , in this FICTIONAL mini Mnemonic-Dali is tying this into a way of a heart brain coherence Mnemonic utilizing memory palaces with attempted suggested visual images/imagery and establishing a PAO system accordingly. This is GB stabbing at a wildly creative and ambitious stretch, blending surrealist art, neuroscience, memory techniques, and personal organization! Let's see if GB can make some sense of this fascinating connection.The Persistence of Memory & Brain Reward/Habits:Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" with its melting clocks evokes themes of:Time Distortion: The fluid, distorted clocks challenge our linear perception of time. This can be metaphorically linked to how our perception of time and effort changes as habits become ingrained and feel less burdensome (the "melting" away of the perceived difficulty).Subconscious and Dreams: Dali's surreal landscapes often represent the subconscious mind. Building strong habits can become almost subconscious, requiring less conscious effort over time, like a well-rehearsed dream.Persistence Despite Change: The clocks continue to exist in their melted state, suggesting a form of persistence despite a radical change in form. This can symbolize the persistence of good habits even when faced with challenges or changes in routine.Memory and Decay: The melting could also symbolize the fading of memories or the need to actively engage with and reinforce them, just as we need to reinforce good habits.Heart-Brain Coherence Mnemonic:Heart-brain coherence refers to the physiological state where the heart's rhythm and the brain's electrical activity become synchronized. This state is often associated with feelings of calm, focus, and emotional balance.GB continues to try to weave this into a mnemonic by associating elements of "The Persistence of Memory" with the concept of heart-brain coherence as a desirable state achieved through consistent good habits:Melting Clocks: Imagine the rigid, stressful aspects of your old, less healthy routines melting away, replaced by a smoother, more coherent flow.Ants: The ants swarming on one of the clocks could represent the persistent, almost automatic nature of well-established good habits working in the background, contributing to your overall well-being and coherence.The Landscape: The serene yet strange landscape could symbolize the inner peace and focused mental state that heart-brain coherence and positive habits can foster.GB is trying to populate a memory palace with imagery linking "The Persistence of Memory Salvador Dali-," heart-brain coherence, and your good habits:Location 1 (Entrance): You see a giant, melting clock draped over the entrance. As it melts, it doesn't disappear but transforms into a smooth, gently pulsating heart, radiating a calm blue light (representing coherence). This symbolizes the "melting" away of old resistance to habits, replaced by a state of ease.Location 2 (Familiar Object):Location 3 (Distinct Feature): Location 4 AnotherMystery Object?: Establishing a PAO (Person-Action-Object) System:Person: Salvador Dali (representing the surreal connection and memory itself)Action: Painting (representing the active creation and reinforcement of good habits)Object: A perfectly synchronized metronome (representing heart-brain coherence)Location 1 (Melting Clock Heart): Salvador Dali (Person) #DaliHabits,#MeltingIntoGoodHabits,#SurrealSelfImprovement,#HeartBrainMemory,#CoherentHabits,#MemoryPalaceMastery,#PAOSystemPower,#NeuroArt,#CognitiveCanvas,#PersistenceOfProgress,Melting Clocks, Solid Habits: A Dali-Inspired Memory Journey to CoherenceThe Surreal Science of Habit: Forging a Coherent Self with Memory PalacesPainting Your Persistence: Dali, Memory, and the Art of Brain-Heart HarmonyBeyond Time: Using Memory and Metaphors for Radically Good HabitsFrom Dreamscape to Daily Routine: A Coherent Memory Palace for Lasting Change

Buckle up for a wild ride—fictional vehicles included—in this episode of Wise_N_Nerdy! Joe is joined by the dynamic duo of Sarah Rose and Shannon for a jam-packed show that blends imagination, wisdom, and heartwarming nostalgia.The journey begins with the Question of the Week: "If you could have any fictional vehicle for your daily commute, what would it be?" From the time-traveling TARDIS to the flying Magic Carpet from Aladdin, and even Herbie the Love Bug, the hosts dive into the whimsical possibilities of upgrading your daily drive.With the roll of the dice, we leap into the "How Do I...?" segment, where our hosts break down how to choose the right pet for your lifestyle. Whether you're a couch potato or an adventurer, there's a furry friend for you—and the trio shares what to consider before bringing home a new companion.Then, it's time for some groan-worthy fun with a Bad Dad Joke—this one's going to the dogs, literally, with a pup suffering from a "fever." (You've been warned.)Next, the dice deliver the "What Are You Nerding Out About?" segment, where passions take the spotlight. Sarah beams about the Tony Awards and the brilliance of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Shannon unleashes her love for all things horror, especially the mind-bending work of David Lynch. Joe joins in with a sweet story of introducing his kids to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, followed by a thoughtful dive into the political layers of Elantris by Brandon Sanderson.The nerdy dice strike again, sending us into the "Parliament of Papas" segment. This week's parenting dilemma comes from Reddit: A party guest leaves after a dog jumps on him and the host refuses to restrain it. The crew debates pet boundaries, respect, and how to handle awkward social situations— skills required.Finally, things wrap up with "Daddy, Tell Me A Story", where everyone shares beloved pet memories, and Joe pulls out the big guns: tales of growing up with a real-life pet bobcat! The trio also dreams about which fictional pets they'd love to have—think Hedwig, Toothless, and more.Whether you're a pet lover, a fantasy fanatic, or just in need of a laugh, this episode is a feel-good rollercoaster that proves once again: it's good to Find your FAMdom.Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom
