This week on the Big Show is about Pagan Pride, the Race to Wrigley, and how a long day can and should affect your characters.We came up with the topic of "physicality in writing" because we did a twelve-hour day in Reno on Saturday, selling books at the Pagan Pride Festival. We had a great time, talked to lots of people, and sold books, but it was still a twelve-hour workday. Then we did our annual Race to Wrigley on Sunday to support Chicago Cubs charities. We used to dream about doing these little things and more without having to balance a forty-hour work week on top of it, but now we find out that...yeah. Advil is our friend.When you send your characters on their Hero's Journey, and we used Luke Skywalker as an example, achievement and finding your dreams always come with a physical price. The Luke we saw at the beginning of the "Star Wars" saga is way different than the one we saw at the end. We talk about how the writer should be mindful of physical challenges from the Hero's Journey in their books.Of note:- In addition to our regular podcast, we feature writers from around the world to chat with us on Wednesdays. Have a look at our Writers page for more information.- Cassidy does a daily YouTube called The Life of a Writer with her views of her own craft and perspective on being an independent writer.- Please preorder Battle Born Bride.

Party conference season is underway and so we'll be catching up with the rural and farming policies of the main parties around the UK over the next few weeks. The Liberal Democrats open their meeting in Brighton tomorrow. They're renewing their call for the government to protect food security by funding more on-farm reservoirs, so farmers can cope with increasingly frequent drought and deluge. The Lib Dem's Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs spokesperson, Tim Farron, tells us how the party would go about increasing DEFRA's budget.Conservationists are working to save a tiny snail which has been driven to extinction across most of the UK and can now only be found in Wales' largest natural lake. Several British zoos are setting up populations of the Glutinous Snail, one of Europe's rarest species, using creatures bred in a back garden in Ceredigion. Ecologist Ian Hughes has made it his "life-defining" mission to protect the threatened mollusc, which was once widespread in UK waters. Today the finalists for the BBC Food & Farming Awards are announced. Charlotte Smith reveals the finalists for The Archers and Farming Today 'Farming for the Future Award'. A new play inspired by the best-selling memoir The Farmer's Wife by Helen Rebanks will have its world premiere tonight in Cumbria. It follows a single day in the life of three generations of women on a working family farm. We take a peek behind the scenes.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling

This week, "The CC & JT Amateur Hour" dives into the inspiring journey of Angela Page, a writer, producer, and former corporate professional who decided to chase her passion for storytelling. In our candid conversation, Angela shares the trials and tribulations of transitioning from a stable paycheck to the unpredictable world of writing and filmmaking.Angela reflects on the biggest challenge she faced when leaving the corporate world: the absence of that regular paycheck. She took a sabbatical and managed to stretch her resources while she built her writing career. Her path was not without its bumps; she humorously notes that earning from book sales often feels like getting just enough for a coffee.Angela has a unique approach to her writing, often crafting books with the intention of adapting them into screenplays. Her first book, inspired by personal tragedies, sparked a creative journey that led to multiple adaptations and projects in film. This strategic mindset has allowed her to navigate the competitive waters of both literature and film.One of the most poignant parts of Angela's narrative revolves around Enrico G, which explores her family history and the complex emotions tied to it. She shares the challenges of writing about her ancestors' struggles and the impact of their experiences.You can learn more about Angela and purchase her books through her website.+++Cassidy Carson and JT Hume (“CC & JT”) are independent writers, publishers, and co-owners of Two Moore Books, LLC out of Carson City, Nevada, USA.

One day, back when we were young(er) and carefree, we threw a snowball from the top of the mountain without realizing that the snowball would grow larger and larger...This week's writers podcast is about those small decisions we made at the beginning of our writing careers that transformed our lives. Decisions like retiring and spending those empty days writing a book, or drafting a author's website, or or joining a writing community, all of which leading to a universe of intended and unintended consequences. We talk about our experiences and, hopefully, offer good advice to those who have not yet dipped a toe into the world of full-time writing.CC is gearing up for the October debut of Battle Born Bride, including the possibility of cosplaying one of the characters in her book.

His wife, Susan, is horrified and thinks he needs to apologize to the group chat even though he deleted it when he realized (five minutes later). Does he owe anyone an apology for his tech disasters?

Amazon limiting written reviews for customers to read, Helium 10 MCP hackathon contest with big prizes, and new Helium 10 ChatGPT plugin. We're back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10's Manager of Education and Strategy, Carrie Miller. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10's newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level. Amazon Limits How Many Reviews Shoppers Can Read https://www.ecommercebytes.com/2026/08/16/amazon-limits-how-many-reviews-shoppers-can-read/ Helium 10 Hackathon Helium 10 is launching an MCP and Prompt Hackathon where sellers can submit their best Claude skill, prompt, or both for a chance to win prizes worth up to $4,500. Submissions should demonstrate creative ways to use Helium 10 data to save time or money, improve efficiency, increase sales, or accomplish things that weren't possible before MCP. Finalists may present their creations during a live webinar on September 3 at 8 a.m. Pacific, giving sellers a chance to learn from each other and discover new ways to use MCP. Prizes include up to a full year of Helium 10 Diamond plus Amazon gift cards. **Submit your skill or prompt by the September 1 deadline at http://h10.me/hackathon.** Trade Court Upholds the End of De Minimis: What the “Detroit Axle” Ruling Means for Ecommerce https://www.ecomm-alliance.org/blog/trade-court-upholds-the-end-of-de-minimis/ New Helium 10 ChatGPT Plugin Helium 10 has launched its new ChatGPT plugin, giving Diamond plan members and above direct access to the full Helium 10 MCP experience inside ChatGPT. Once installed and connected, users can tap into 70 different tools covering keyword and product research, competitor analysis, listing optimization, historical rank, search volume, pricing, sales velocity, P&L, advertising, inventory, and more—without downloading and uploading reports. By pulling directly from actual Helium 10 and Amazon data, the integration also helps reduce AI hallucinations and makes analyzing seller data faster and easier. Usage counts toward the same combined 1,000 MCP call limit per billing cycle. Amazon Solution Provider Services: New Seller Central Authorisation Process Starting 8/10/2026 https://ecomranker.com/amazon-seller-central-authorisation-process-2026/ Harvest SQP Keywords with AI Bradley introduces the new Search Query Performance Outperformer Skill for the Helium 10 MCP, designed to uncover high-opportunity keywords by analyzing a full year of SQP data and identifying terms where your product converts better than the market. The skill cross-checks Keyword Tracker, Cerebro, and Helium 10 Ads to find outperforming keywords you aren't tracking, keywords with weak organic or sponsored visibility, and advertising opportunities where you should add a target or increase your bid. What could take an hour of manually downloading and comparing reports can be completed in about a minute, and with the new Helium 10 Ads write capabilities available to Elite members and coming soon to Diamond, the MCP can even implement keyword and bid changes for you. To get the skill, comment “I need the SQP Outperformer Skill” below and we'll send you the download link. New AI Agent For Amazon Keyword Research Helium 10 has launched Helium, its new built-in AI agent, in beta for Diamond members and above. Think of it as having an AI assistant like ChatGPT or Claude directly inside Helium 10, without needing an outside subscription or using external AI tokens. Because Helium connects directly to Helium 10 data, it can quickly run analyses across tools like Cerebro, Search Query Performance, Keyword Tracker, and Helium 10 Ads, helping identify keyword gaps, analyze sales and conversion performance, compare listings with competitors, audit advertising, and more. Helium is also being built with Helium 10-specific knowledge, allowing it to proactively surface insights and opportunities beyond what you explicitly ask. Future capabilities are expected to include custom dashboards, scheduled tasks, and more advanced workflows. Diamond and Elite members can find “Ask Helium” inside Helium 10 and start testing the beta now. Amazon Prime Air drone delivery is expanding to nearly 500 US cities and towns this year https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/transportation/amazon-prime-air-drone-delivery-expansion That's a wrap for this week's Weekly Buzz!

Larry Wood joins us this week to talk about the contests and cartoons from the current issue of the New Yorker.We were all pretty much in agreement with the New Yorker contests, but the podcast gang did take Larry to task for some of the Cartoon Stock picks. Larry was able to defend his personal picks, but could offer no defense for the other judge's picks (he actually agreed with us for a change). Larry also states that he thinks his caption for New Yorker Contest #1000 is one of the best he's come up with. We'll see how that works out!We discuss the winning entry for Contest #996 (Hot doggin' it.)Finalists for Contest #998 (I'm the catpun of this boat.")Current Contest #1000 ("Take a sword, leave a sword.")Be sure to enter the latest CartoonStock Caption Contest with the new rules!

Send us Fan MailThis week on Talking Pools Thursdays, Wayne Ivusich and Steve Sherwood cover everything from the newest generation of robotic pool cleaners to protecting your business from costly mistakes, distributor pricing, chemical accountability, inspection reports, and why good documentation may be the most valuable tool you own.The episode opens with congratulations for Andrea Nannini on her new position with Gorman Company and a reminder that the 2026 Talking Pools Mentor Award Top 10 Finalists will soon be announced, recognizing professionals who go beyond technical knowledge by investing in others.Steve then dives into his latest experiences with cordless robotic pool cleaners, comparing different Polaris Freedom models, discussing battery life, runtime, commercial versus residential applications, and whether today's wireless robots are finally ready to replace traditional corded units. The hosts also discuss the limitations every technician should understand—including ladders, handrails, steps, main drains, and unusual pool shapes that can confuse even premium robotic cleaners.The conversation shifts into one of the least discussed ways pool companies lose money: inventory control. Steve explains how improperly tracked chlorine deliveries, returnable containers, pricing discrepancies, and purchasing habits can quietly cost companies thousands of dollars. The discussion explores building relationships with distributors while still shopping intelligently, negotiating prices, and understanding where business owners must verify every invoice themselves.During the Insurance Interlude, Steve and Pat Grignon tackle a topic many service professionals eventually face: inspection reports that may become evidence in litigation. They discuss when an inspection remains simply an inspection, when it crosses into expert witness territory, how to protect yourself through documentation, why objective reporting matters, and why keeping complete records—including the exact report you submitted—can become your best legal defense.The episode also explores one of the most overlooked skills in pool service: knowing the actual volume of water you're treating. Steve explains how calculating chlorine dosage correctly can dramatically reduce chemical waste while improving consistency. Drawing from years of managing multiple service crews, he shares how accurate calculations and field verification once reduced chlorine consumption by tens of thousands of dollars over a single season. Wayne adds practical insight into why textbook volume calculations often underestimate actual system water once plumbing and equipment are considered.To close the show, Wayne clears up several common misconceptions about potassium monopersulfate (MPS), often marketed as "non-chlorine shock." He explains what the product actually does, what it does not do, why it does not eliminate existing combined chlorine, how it can help prevent new chloramine formation, proper dosing considerations, testing interference, and why it is most commonly found in heavily used indoor aquatic facilities rather than residential pools.In This EpisodeCongratulations to Andrea Nannini on joining Gorman CompanyPreview of the 2026 Talking Pools Mentor Award finalistsCordless vs. corded robotic pool cleanersCommercial applications for robotic vacuumsCommon obstacles that interfere with robotic cleanersManaging distributor relationships and pricingPreventing costly inventory and chlorine lossesWhy every pool company needs stronger chemical accountabilityInspection reports, expert witnesses, and legal liabilityDocumentation practices that protect your businessCalculating true pool volume for accurate dosingReducing chemical waste through better mathPotassium monopersulfate explainedCombined chlorine myths and oxidation factsBest practices for indoor pool oxidationConnect with Talking PoolsHave a question or topic you'd like covered on a future episode?Email: talkingpools@gmail.comSubscribe wherever you listen to podcasts and never miss another episode of Talking Pools.
