In this episode Rachel and Simon speak to the American novelist Susan Choi. Born in Indiana to a Korean father and Jewish mother, Susan is the author of six novels: "The Foreign Student" (1998), "American Woman" (2003), "A Person of Interest" (2008), "My Education" (2013), "Trust Exercise" (2019) and "Flashlight" (2025). In 2004 "American Woman" was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and in 2019 "Trust Exercise" won the National Book Award for Fiction. (It was also a bestseller in America and picked by Barack Obama as one of his books of the year.) "Flashlight" was shortlisted for this year's Booker Prize. We spoke to Susan about working as a fact-checker at the New Yorker, the role of literary prizes and about turning "Flashlight" from a short story into a novel.  In addition to the standard audio format, the podcast is now available in video.

Anna and Geoff discuss their Booker Prize winner predictions. We haven't read enough of the shortlist to know who will win, but Geoff is tipping THE LAND IN WINTER (a DNF for Anna).   Our book of the week is FLASHLIGHT by Susan Choi. This is Choi's follow-up novel after winning the National Book Award for TRUST EXERCISE. It is a sweeping family saga set in America, Japan and Korea.  Shortlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize, we could not say we loved this one but it got us talking.   How much cat litter detail is too much?  Would Tobias really have gone to Japan or would he be trekking around Nepal? Could we read a whole novel of Serk? How many unlikeable characters in a novel is too many?  And we revisit 'that year' when Margaret Atwood and Bernadine Evaristo won jointly.   Coming up: CREATION LAKE by Rachel Kushner.   Follow us!   Instagram: @abailliekaras Email: booksonthegopodcast@gmail.com Substack: Books On The Go   Credits Artwork: Sascha Wilkosz

Brandon Steppe left a corporate career to start a recording studio in his garage—never imagining that a few persistent neighborhood kids would change his life. Those early studio sessions grew into the David's Harp Foundation, a nonprofit where justice-involved and opportunity youth in San Diego discover their voices and chart a path forward through music, media, and mentorship. This Episode Can rhythm and relationship change a young person's life? Brandon shares how vulnerability and honesty became cornerstones of his organization's culture, starting with a simple practice he calls flashlight first: mentors shine the light on themselves before asking youth to open up. From those early lessons grew a creative community that helps youth connect to support, record songs behind detention walls, and build micro-enterprises that pay real wages and teach real skills. Together with Grant, Brandon explores how art heals, how relationships transform justice, and how community-rooted workforce programs can help young people thrive. Key Moments: [4:05] How one determined teenager changed Brandon's path [8:28] “Flashlight first”—earning trust through vulnerability [22:54] The importance of relational support [32:52] Creating access and opportunity in the creative economy [43:35] Turning a $1M gift into transformational community-based housing Resources Mentioned in This Episode: David's Harp Foundation – Empowering youth through music, media, and mentorship Brandon Steppe TEDx Talk – On honesty and human connection Prebys Foundation Workforce Initiative – Supporting career pathways for youth Take Action: Listen First – Practice “flashlight first” in your own conversations. Invest in Creativity – Support programs that give young people tools to tell their stories. See Youth as Talent – Hire, mentor, or collaborate with local young creators. Value Relationship – Support programs that center relational care, not control.  Credits:This is a production of the Prebys FoundationHosted by Grant OliphantCo-Hosted by Crystal PageCo-produced by Crystal Page and Adam GreenfieldEngineered by Adam GreenfieldProduction Coordination by Tess KareskyVideo Production by Edgar Ontiveros MedinaThe Stop & Talk Theme song was created by San Diego's own Mr. Lyrical Groove.Download episodes at your favorite podcatcher or visit us at StopAndTalkPod​cast​.orgSpecial thanks to the Prebys Foundation TeamIf you like this show, and we hope you do, the best way to support this show is to share, subscribe

In this week's episode, we chat with Selius from Heartleaf Games about building an economy where dungeon delving makes sense, the hazards of concentrating intellectual property in a single company, and the mechanics for noodle-bodied PC species. Initially, we planned to talk with Selius about the Delver's Guide to Beast World sourcebook (which is extremely cool!), but we ended up talking more broadly about the process of developing third-party supplements for D&D 5th Edition. Since the interview, Heartleaf Games has also released a deck of NPC cards for Beast World campaigns. We talked way more about Dungeons and Dragons, Wizards of the Coast, and intellectual property in this Flashlight back in Season 2. Jake also mentions the Ironclaw system.  Thanks to Beatrix for providing this week's intro! If you like the music on the show, go check out more of Reilly's music.  You can also listen to Reilly's DJ sets on Mixcloud.Follow us wherever you get your podcasts, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

When most people think of everyday carry (EDC), their minds jump to knives, multi-tools, or even firearms—but one of the most underrated, life-saving tools you can carry is a handheld flashlight. In this episode, we dive deep into why a light source is not just convenient, but essential. From navigating power outages and low-light emergencies to adding a non-lethal layer of personal security, a flashlight is a piece of gear that often gets overlooked until it's too late. We'll explore: The difference between handheld lights and weapon-mounted lights How lumens, beam patterns, and battery types impact real-world use Practical scenarios where a flashlight becomes your number-one tool Why redundancy in light sources matters for preparedness Whether you're new to EDC or a seasoned gear junkie, this episode will challenge you to rethink what “essentials” really means—and might just convince you that a handheld flashlight deserves a permanent place in your pocket.

Andy and Brendan! get this First of the Month recording in under the gun, chatting late on Labor Day about the latest news in golf. They run through Monday's announcement of the European Ryder Cup team as Luke Donald finalized his roster with 11 of the 12 players from Rome. The two debate whether this is the best Team Europe has ever been and wonder who, if anyone, will be looked back on as the "random" member of this 2025 roster. The picks were made following the Omega Masters on the DP World Tour, won by pod favorite Thriston Lawrence after a year of struggles in the United States. In honor of this week's Walker Cup, Brendan shares quick flashlight about a player from the last time the event was held at Cypress Point. This flashlight has twists and turns and ends up with an extradition, if that's your thing. PJ quizzes Andy and Brendan on some SEC backup QBs or SEC golfers following Week 1 of college football and all three take some joy in North Carolina's loss to TCU. Things wrap up with a Champions Tour discussion after Ernie Els publicly challenged Tiger Woods to tee it up on the senior circuit in 2026.

Lisa Adler from Unity Books Wellington reviews Flashlight by Susan Choi, published by Jonathan Cape.

When KC visits his good friend, Ernest, he learns that when we listen to our heart, it will tells us to do good things for people. Everywhere Jesus went, He did good!

That's right, folks. This is the second-to-last episode of "John Updike's Ghost," which will end with Episode 100. But not to worry! We'll be launching a new podcast not long afterward, with a new name and a little bit of a new focus. In the meantime, though, we've got a cracker-jack episode for you this week, with a bunch of books we really like. Here's the deal:  - "Flashlight" by Susan Choi, which is one of those books you tell other people about. The history of Korea-Japan-China conflict is at its heart.  - "The Wall," by Marlen Haushofer (translated by Shaun Whiteside), which is a classic of post-apocalyptic Feminist literature, and completely delivers, with a story of self-sufficiency that speaks to the essence of humanity's relationship with nature.  - "A Month in the Country," by J.L. Carr, which a classic of pastoral literature, a treatise on hard work well done and the value of rural community. - "Fonseca," by Jessica Francis Kane, which is the made-up story of author Penelope Fitzgerald's apocryphal trip to Mexico (look up who Penelope is; she's dope).  - "Heartbreaker," by Mike Campbell and Ari Surdoval, which is among the best musician memoirs ever produced, the story of the creation of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, but so much more than that. 

Seth and Josh are back with the monthly listener episode! We hear a few hilarious stories from listeners including the unexpected way two siblings burnt their hair off, the perpetrator behind the “flashlight felon,” the aftermath of an epic hotel employee head butt situation, the adventures of Margot and Guido in Greece, and more!

When KC visits his good friend, Ernest, he learns that when we listen to our heart, it will tells us to do good things for people. Everywhere Jesus went, He did good! If people were sick, Jesus prayed for them and they were healed! Jesus was doing what the Bible told Him to do. It was like shining a light for people to see how good God is!

The kickoff of college football, blessedly, is just around the corner, something I've been waiting for since January and the end of the last college football season. College football is jam-packed with rivalries, and one of the most heated among them is the rivalry between the University of Alabama Crimson Tide and the Auburn Tigers. Both teams are located, of course, in Alabama, where I lived—Birmingham specifically—for nearly 11 years, so this is a rivalry I know well. Their annual matchup every November is called the Iron Bowl, and today on the show I have decorated sportswriter Jay Busbee here to talk about it and his new book, Iron in the Blood: How the Alabama vs. Auburn Rivalry Shaped the Soul of the South, which is out August 26. Today on the show Jay and I discuss how vicious the hatred actually is between these two teams, why the Iron Bowl is called as such, what rivalries mean to college football, the infamous Kick Six play and whether Jay thinks that is the best Iron Bowl moment of all time, what his favorite tradition is from each school—both schools are filled with traditions—and so much more. By the way, this book is a great companion piece to Netflix's new docuseries SEC Football: Any Given Saturday, which my husband and I just binged. Jay is a senior writer for Yahoo Sports and has covered the Olympics, the Super Bowl, the Masters, the World Series, the Daytona 500, the Kentucky Derby, and, you guessed it, the Iron Bowl. He hosts the travel and history show Home Turn for NASCAR Studios and has a Substack about Southern culture, “Flashlight & A Biscuit.” In addition to Iron in the Blood, Jay has written the book Earnhardt Nation, a biography of NASCAR's Earnhardt family, and, according to his biography, he “worships at the church of SEC football.” He has written everywhere from ⁠ESPN.com⁠ to Esquire, USA Today, The Washington Post, and more.⁠Iron in the Blood: How the Alabama vs. Auburn Rivalry Shaped the Soul of the South⁠ by Jay Busbee

Three look-alike cousins. One runaway pup. And the Backwoods of Strickfield after dark… what could go wrong? When Daisy May's dog bolts into the trees, Mouse (Maddy), Eileen, and Daisy May give chase—and stumble into something hungry lurking in the brush. Engines roar, claws scrape, and a battered pickup becomes their only lifeline as the creature closes in. The girls race to escape the Backwoods before the monster makes them disappear. A fast, fun creature feature set in the Strickfield universe—equal parts scary, funny, and full-throttle adventure.Things Come in Threes by Rob Fields

We're switching it up a little bit this episode, as the Booker Prize Long List has just been released and it's fun to talk about what they've chosen — plus, the judges this year are really interesting! These are "chosen from 153 submissions, celebrates the best works of long-form fiction by writers of any nationality, written in English and published in the UK and/or Ireland between 1 October 2024 and 30 September 2025." Some of the books we've read, some we've just heard about, some we have no idea about. Play along!  Here's the list as we tackle it: - "Seascraper," by Benjamin Wood, which is not available in the U.S.  - "The Rest of our Lives," by Ben Markovitz, which is not available in the U.S. (though Ben is from the U.S. and used to be a professional basketball player) - "Audition," by Katie Kitamura, which is so out there that Hannah legit doesn't know how to talk about it. No one seems to know what's happening with this book.  - "Endling," by Maria Reva, which we talked about quite a bit in EP92 (not 94, as Sam says on the pod, for no good reason), and is a substantive, interesting, weird novel, but maybe not Sam's favorite.  - "Flashlight," by Susan Choi, a National Book Award winner, which Hannah started out super excited about, but then her fervor sort of faded... There's some great stuff in here about Japan-Korea history and the immigrant story, in general.  - "The Land in Winter," by Andrew Miller, which Hannah hasn't read, but she does remember that "The Optimists" was big and she meant to read it.  - "Love Forms," by Claire Adam, who was published by Sarah Jessica Parker, who also happens to be a judge! But we're sure it's a coincidence. "Like a Claire Keegan novel written by Elizabeth Strout," apparently. - "Universality," by Natasha Brown, which we know is short and is all about words and meaning.  - "Misinterpretation," by Ledia Xhoga, which is similarly about words and meaning. We don't know much, really. But there seems to be a theme here.  - "The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny," by Kiran Desai, who has a Booker Prize under her belt. This book is going to be big.  - "One Boat," by Jonathan Buckley, which is about a murder and a love affair on a Greek island.  - "The South," by Tash Aw, which is this year's young gay love story, Hannah thinks, though she's not sure, but it is the first of a quartet of novels, "a reimagined epic for our times." - "Flesh," by David Szalay, which is a stylish Hungarian novel, a coming-of-age sort of thing.

Dive into the chilling depths of one of America's most enduring UFO mysteries.  If you're hooked on West Virginia cryptids like the Mothman, Bigfoot, or Grafton Monster, or fascinated by 1950s UFO sightings, alien encounters, and government conspiracies, this episode uncovers the eerie truth behind the Braxton County Monster. Host MF Thomas, who personally trekked to Braxton County last summer, unravels a 1952 close encounter of the third kind that left eight witnesses terrified and the world questioning: Was it an extraterrestrial visitor, a mechanical robot from another world, a misidentified natural phenomenon, or a secret missile test suppressed by the US government? Packed with eyewitness accounts, physical evidence, and lingering enigmas, this podcast episode blends history, folklore, and the unexplained—perfect for fans searching for information about the 1952 Flatwoods Monster. Picture this: It's September 12, 1952, twilight in sleepy Flatwoods, West Virginia—a state dripping with eerie legends like the Mothman, Grafton Monster, and Snarly Yow, even inspiring Silent Hill's foggy nightmares. Amid the 1950s UFO frenzy, with the "Invasion of Washington" buzzing D.C. and Life Magazine hyping flying saucers next to Marilyn Monroe, a group of boys playing football spots IT: a massive fiery object streaking the sky. Pulsing cherry red to orange, trailing flames, wobbling like a dying aircraft—not a meteor, but something controlled. It vanishes behind a hill on the Fisher farm, igniting chaos. Freddie May, just 11, recalls a "round ball of fire" spiraling like a leaf. Local bigwig Jack Davis swears it's a lit-up oblong craft, slowing to land, brighter than mercury vapor. No noise, just eerie descent. The boys bolt home, dragging mom Kathleen May, 35, into the fray. With 17-year-old Eugene Lemon and his dog, plus pals Neil Nunley (14), Teddie Neal, Edison May (13), Ronald Shaver, and tiny Tommy Hyer (6), they form an unwitting expedition. Flashlights in hand, they trek half a mile through darkening woods, spotting a red-purple flare atop the hill. Hearts pounding, they push on—unaware they're stepping into nightmare fuel. The path steepens: Mist rolls in, thick and foreboding. A sharp metallic stench hits—like burning TV tubes—searing throats, watering eyes. Kathleen shudders, still smelling it decades later.
