Black Sabbath are solely responsible for conjuring the diabolical power of heavy metal. When guitarist Tony Iommi lost his fingertips as a teenager, he turned to a less painful style of playing— a style that produced a new, genre-defining type of gloom and heaviness. The band climbed through the seven circles of British podunk hell to international rock star success, but the lore of their dark imagery compelled the freaks to flood out of the woodwork and to their shows. Despite composing songs that warned against the evils of the occult, Black Sabbath attracted legions of devil worshippers, occultists and 1970s freak-flag-flying practitioners of the dark arts. Kids went mad for their metal. Critics hated it. And much to the band's dismay, Satanists found their battle cry in the heavy gloom that Black Sabbath had awakened.

Katy Grabel joins Let's Talk Memoir for a conversation about a childhood immersed in professional magic, when a parent's dream because ours, wanting to be famous, searching hard for self, trying to understand the allure of our parents' choices, using journals to familiarize ourselves with our emotional life from the past, what drives someone to want to be a magician, seeing the whole person when writing about loved ones and accepting their good and their bad, going deep, not including everything just because it's a true story, waiting to publish a memoir until after loved ones are gone, drawing parents carefully and with love, and her new memoir The Magician's Daughter. Also in this episode: -being honest with ourselves -accepting imperfections -knowing what you want to say Books mentioned in this episode: -Riding the White Horse Home by Teresa Jordan Katy Grabel lives in Taos, New Mexico, where she fits right in as the daughter of the Human Cannonball. A former newspaper reporter, her stories about professional magic have been published in ZYZYYVA and New Millennium Writings. She shares her time between an old rambling adobe house in Taos with her guitar, fancy dreams and penchant for dancing in her kitchen, and a lovely book-filled casita in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. She has always seen herself as a magician's assistant, taking notes, and believes daughters of magicians—even more than sons—must make their own way: Daughters must decide whether to be the willing assistant, command the spotlight, or turn away with a story untold. And all will be lost unless we recognize the resiliency and strength of our mothers as they lay down on the sawing table. Yet who can deny, late at night, when the dark is crowded by our failures, that every daughter of a magician must find her own magic.

Dr. Stacey Hettes joins Let's Talk Memoir for a conversation about therapeutic writing and how she crafted a memoir about childhood sexual abuse without revictimizing herself, metabolizing childhood trauma, inviting readers into our physiological response, the role of our limbic systems, deciding whether to share specifics about abuse in our manuscripts, italicizing difficult material for readers so they can decide, approaching a story of child sexual abuse in a protective way, putting therapy into our memoirs, demonstrating our character's progress in our narrative, remembering we can write beautifully about hard things, and her new memoir Dispatches from the Couch. Also in this episode: -sharing a memoir with family -the amygdala and child trauma victims -deciding whether to share specifics about abuse Books mentioned in this episode: -Bodywork by Melissa Febos -Wintering by Catherine May -Writing a Woman's Life by Caroline G. Heilbrun -Learning to Walk in the Dark by Barbara Brown Taylor Professor Stacey Hettes teaches biology and neuroscience to undergraduates eager to enter the worlds of science and medicine at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. She holds a PhD from the University of California, Riverside, and is the youngest winner to date of the Milliken Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Science. Her classes are difficult because life is difficult. They are also full of wonder, joy, and triumph because, like her students, she is a hard-working seeker. She relishes in shared struggle and shared discovery, even when the topic is long-buried child sexual abuse. Reemerging from the shadows of her past was only possible once she resolved to carry the story found in her Debut memoir, Dispatches from the Couch, into the light.

This latest blow made him cry in his car, and the rest of us laugh.—Fox News, the fair and balanced take on things that was sued for lying about Election 2020 and paid out almost $800 million because of it, is back at it, only this time, more carefully.Zorhan said something overly progressive, that maybe social workers should take care of homeless problems, not cops, and that's fine…But he also suggested social workers handle domestic violence calls.Yeah… no.Oh well.The right has to latch on to whatever they can, because they can't use merit-based reporting to push their agenda.—Noted a-hole and ruiner of all things good Elon Musk has formed his own political party.Why?Because he's a petty, vindictive person.And, hopefully, that will help swing an election in the favor of good!All he's going to pull are fringe MAGA morons, so…Fingers crossed he pours $300 million into defeating any handpicked Trump candidate in the midterms.—Last week, someone with more passion than brain cells took offense to nathan's description of Cedar Point, and left a comment.nathan fires back with what the kids call facts.Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don't have to.Tune in and get your giggle on.Find Jake at @jakeveveraFind nathan at nathantimmel.comShow your support by picking up a T-Shirt: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/nathan-timmel?ref_id=31623

This week on The Long Form, I sit down with Polycarp Otieno, aka Fancy Fingers, guitarist, composer, and ¼ of the award-winning Kenyan supergroup Sauti Sol.We explore what's next for Polycarp now that Sauti Sol has ended, how he is navigating life after global tours and fame, and whether East Africa truly has a culture and sound that unites it. We also unpack what makes Kenyan music special, the rise of Rwandan music, and whether African artists should chase “going global” or stay rooted in authentic artistry.If you care about African music, identity, and what the future holds for East Africa's creative scene, this conversation is for you.Paid partnership with: Waka Fitness: Go to https://waka.fitbase.rw/thelongform and get 20% off your gym membership.

Roller derby has a reputation for being loud and rough. It's definitely that. But it's also one of the warmest, most joyful sporting communities you'll find in the city. Robyn Bresnahan hits up a practice to meet players who joined for very different reasons - but stayed on for the same one.
Carlos here—The Running Jackal—doing something a little different today. I'm not on foot. I'm on my little bike. After just missing the light at Mackenzie Avenue, I paused my recording. Then off I went—rolling past the noisy bustle, aiming toward Hamilton Hops & Grapes to pick up some brewing supplies. You see, Save-On-Foods was out of DME (that's Dry Malt Extract for the uninitiated). And yes, I'm still brewing—weekly batches now—finely tuned to the right bottle count and desired strength. As I rolled down Quadra Street, “Nothing But the Blues” played from my phone tucked in my pocket, while my trusty Sony voice recorder nestled deep in the pouch. I hoped the wind wouldn't muffle too much. The pouch's opening is quite large, but the recorder's weight helps—it settles deep. Hopefully no wind tunnel effects today. I cruised over the Swan Lake Trestle Bridge, past the spot where the Lochside and Galloping Goose trails converge. This stretch is familiar—I often see my birding friend here in the mornings. They say this spot is known as the Saanich Spur, where old rail lines once split toward Sydney and Courtenay. Now, it's a trail for thinkers, runners, and riders like me. As I zipped past cyclists (117 and counting), I chuckled to myself. Some say you can ride 30km/h. Me? I'm happy with 15. It's not just about the bike—though mine is humble—it's also about youth, strength, and that extra bit of juice I don't always have these days. Still, I got up a good head of speed—probably hit 35km/h—coming down the hill near Douglas Street on the Switch Bridge. Back in the day, that was a railway crossing. Now, it's a pedestrian bridge that gives you a nice acoustic thrill when you shoot through the tunnel. I may have done it twice... just for the sound. At home, life at the lair ticks along. I've made a deal with my neighbor, John, for some firewood. His dead Garry Oak needs to come down, but there's a delay—we're waiting on the city permit. Funny that you don't need a permit to prune a tree, but you do to take it down, even if it's clearly dead. Bureaucracy at its finest. John's letting me take the larger prunings—the stuff too big for the shredder. Once the permit's in, and the tree crew returns, I'll roll over my wheelbarrow and haul those logs home. Two trips, maybe. Enough for the winter, I reckon. They won't split the rounds, but I've asked for a burnable length. We'll see. Anyway, I arrived at Hamilton's a little early. No lights on yet. It's 9:22 and they don't open till 10. Sometimes the woman who helps with the business gets in early and opens the doors once the alarm is off and the lights are on. Fingers crossed. I brought my lock just in case. So, I did what I always seem to do lately—wait for the shop to open. Eight kilometers from my fridge, parked out back, I went for a little scenic walk. And just like that, my day came full circle—camera in hand, trail beneath my feet, back where I started this story: waiting, walking, and wondering. No Sunday show this week, but expect a fresh running podcast on Wednesday. Until then, this has been The Running Jackal, spinning down the trails and through life—on bike, on foot, and always on the move. Bye-bye everyone.
We just recently had 4th of July. People love to be dumb.

“If you've got a whole room full of 10's, that's the 5…” We've all been there. Every one of us have experienced an album where it was “almost perfect” front to back, yet there was that one song that blemished its perfection and brought it down a notch. Granted, some songs may not fit relative to the context of an album and should have never been included to begin with, while others may have been played into the ground a quadrillion times to the point that even though it has become tiresome to listen to, “it's not like it doesn't belong” on the album. Basically, the most pressing points to ponder when evaluating whether a song is “skippable” or simply should not exist are: “If you take this song off the album, does it make it a better album?” “If it's 1980 and you're wearing your jorts and your tank top and you're at a Boone's farm bonfire…is it a bad song?” “Is this the song that made this album worse…?” Discover the most “prostate meltingly hot” thing a woman can wear, hear Beaker's favorite song to do at karaoke after a long day on set at The Muppet Show, and prepare to get “T.B.R” when you JOIN US for the “hysteria” surrounding THE SONG THAT SHOULD NOT BE as things get heated and hostile regarding GREAT METAL ALBUMS RUINED BY ONE SONG.

Send us a textWhen 4Xtra posted "Who wants to get blown up today?" while flashing fireworks on his social platforms, he likely never imagined he'd end up missing two fingers and temporarily blinded. Yet that's exactly what happened when his Fourth of July stunt went catastrophically wrong, leaving his family scrambling to create a GoFundMe for mounting medical bills. The internet's response was predictably divided between mockery and concern, but the underlying lesson remains universal.

Classic LOL about the guy who's job it is to patch you back up after your 4th Of July "Celebrating". Ben, THANK YOU!
Sometimes someone's name just fits who they are and what they do, right? So when you find out what Patches Magickbeans did... you'll have that same "that checks out" type of feeling.

Jennifer Pastiloff joins Let's Talk Memoir for a conversation about getting out of our own way, practicing curiosity, feeling like we have a right to tell our stories and be creative, finding a way into our work, the yes and, tapping into other art forms, not throwing people under the bus, harnessing the mental space to write, accepting change as a necessary part of living, when “fine” is not fine, putting ourselves out there, sharing deeply, refusing to hide in shame, leaving her marriage, and her new book Proof of Life.
