"It truly is becoming a desert right now for book publicists." — Bethanne PatrickA couple of weeks ago, there was an "absolute bloodbath" at The Washington Post with hundreds of workers laid off and the book section totally gutted. Ron Charles, the beloved fiction editor, is gone. So is Becca Rothfeld, who described it in The New Yorker as "The Death of Book World." Today I'm talking to Keen on America's resident book expert, Bethanne Patrick of the LA Times, about what this latest bloodbath means not just for readers and writers, but also for the future of literary culture.The news is pretty grim. Patrick points out that we used to have a general public reading newspapers and general interest magazines like Time & Newsweek for guidance about what to read. Now we've splintered into much narrower reading groups, each told to care only about what they already care about. The New York Times might be thriving, but its dominance isn't healthy. No writer wants to hear, "The Times didn't pick up your book, so there won't be a review at all." Meanwhile, mass-market paperbacks are dying and while Patrick is unsentimental about their physical quality, she nonetheless bemoans the demise of a mainstream reading culture.There is, however, some good literary news. Spotify has struck a deal with Bookshop.org to sell physical books—enabling us to click a link while listening to a podcast and then buy the book, with proceeds supporting independent bookstores. And audiobooks are booming. Patrick defends them vigorously, citing research that shows listening to them stimulates the same part of the brain as the act of reading. When her husband discovered audiobooks, Patrick reports, he started reading longer books and, perhaps not uncoincidentally, more women novelists.And then, last but certainly not least, there's AI. ElevenLabs is doubling down on AI-generated audiobooks—cheaper, faster, and increasingly hard to distinguish from human narrators. Patrick is conflicted. She narrated Life B, her own memoir, and loved it. But the middle market is disappearing from audiobooks too: soon we'll have winner-take-all celebrity narrators at the top, crappy AI bots at the bottom, and nothing in between. It's the enshittification of books. Jeff Bezos is presumably fine with all of this. Someone's taking care of the bottom line somewhere—maybe his delightful new wife's plastic surgeon. About the GuestBethanne Patrick is the book critic of the LA Times and author of the memoir Life B: Overcoming Double Consciousness. She has written for The Washington Post, NPR, and numerous other publications. She is Keen on America's resident book expert.ReferencesPeople mentioned:● Ron Charles was the fiction books editor at The Washington Post. Patrick counts him as a dear friend. He has since started his own Substack.● Becca Rothfeld wrote "The Death of Book World" for The New Yorker and is author of All Things Are Too Small. She was also laid off from the Post.● Colleen Hoover is the self-published author of It Ends with Us. Patrick notes she's "doing just fine without mass-market paperbacks."● Maria Adelmann is the author of The Adjunct, which Patrick is currently reading and recommends.Publications and companies mentioned:● The Washington Post gutted its book coverage in what Patrick calls "a big blow for the literary world."● Bookshop.org is partnering with Spotify to sell physical books, with proceeds benefiting independent bookstores.● ElevenLabs is an AI company doubling down on AI-generated audiobooks with various tiers of service.● Libby is the app where many young readers now discover audiobooks through their libraries.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

In this podcast, we explore the surprising trend of Gen Z women opting out of the traditional "hot girl summer" and instead finding solace and community in convents with nuns. On our news segment, "you should know", we delve into the reasons behind this phenomenon and what it says about the values and priorities of young women today. As we discuss the latest news and trends, it becomes clear that this movement is not just about spirituality, but also about a desire for meaningful connection and a sense of purpose. Tune in to learn more about this fascinating shift and how it reflects the changing times and priorities of Gen Z women, all on our podcast, where we bring you the news and stories that you should know.
A growing hunger among young men is impossible to ignore, and many are filling it with voices that pull them away from Christ. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss the rise of secular influencers who offer fragments of truth about purpose and masculinity while remaining disconnected from God. The guys explain that while certain traits may be admirable, any worldview apart from Christ ultimately speaks from a fallen perspective. Young men are searching for meaning, and when that hunger is not met with the gospel, they will consume whatever is offered. Ears are always listening, and if the church does not disciple intentionally, other voices will gladly step in.The conversation turns to why this hunger exists in the first place. The guys point out that men have been steadily degraded and stripped of purpose, creating a vacuum that influencers rush to fill. At the same time, the church has often been content with shallow engagement. Cultural Christianity, political alignment, and surface-level conservatism are not substitutes for regeneration. Once someone has truly encountered Christ, there is nowhere else to go, yet many young men have never been shown the depth, authority, and beauty of Scripture. The masculinity they long for is not found in strength or dominance, but in the life and character of Christ.They then address how believers are called to respond. The guys emphasize that the answer is the gospel lived boldly and relationally. Discipleship requires presence, courage, and a willingness to speak into the lives God has providentially placed nearby. Churches cannot celebrate attendance alone but must labor for transformation. This includes engaging young men directly, intentionally investing in children, and recognizing that small moments of care and attention can leave lasting spiritual impressions. Influence is not limited to platforms; it is multiplied by faithfulness.Finally, the guys focus on the role of discipleship in the home and the church. Fatherlessness, whether physical or emotional, has left many young men without guidance, discipline, or example. The gospel restores order, purpose, and authority, calling men to repentance, leadership, and sacrificial love. Family devotion and sound teaching become foundations for generational change. Discipleship is framed as a mutual exchange of exhortation and growth, rooted in Scripture and oriented toward glorifying God. The episode closes with a call for men to lead with conviction, to invest deeply in the next generation, and to anchor identity and purpose in Christ alone.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Have you seen how much gold is worth lately? Yesterday it hit another new record - US$5000 an ounce. It's up 60% on last year. If you watch this stuff closely you'll know it's not just happened overnight. It's been building slowly but surely since Trump took office, and investors look for safe places to put their money. People have been worried about the AI bubble bursting, so they out their money into gold instead of stocks. The price skyrockets. But the speed of late has been pretty remarkable. JP Morgan in December predicted the price would hit $5000 by Q4 2026. It's hit that price in Q1. Goldman Sachs reckons it'll hit $5400 by year's end, but at this rate, that might be underselling it too. Honestly, it makes you want to rip off your rings and earrings off and flog them, doesn't it? One thing's for sure, at these prices, gold diggers —the prospectors, not the sort Kanye sings about— will be lining up to get the stuff out of the ground quicker than you can say fast-track. Every time the price goes up, so too does the value of those projects. The quicker they can get up and running in places like Otago and Waihi, the better the return for their investors. There's only around 200 thousand tonnes of gold that's ever been mined. Mostly since 1950. It's only enough to fill two or three Olympic swimming pools. Every gold bar in a vault. Every wedding ring. Every necklace. Melted down, doesn't amount to much. They reckon there's about 64,000 tonnes remaining underground that's accessible. That makes this a rare and precious metal which will surely become more precious as the world becomes more uncertain.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If so, let me know in the comments and I'll add them to my list of communities to review!For Judy, early retirement comes down to one word: choices. At 57, two years into life after work, she wakes up with the freedom to choose slow mornings, long walks, golf leagues, pickleball lessons, and spontaneous trips.Her plan was always early retirement at 55, and she never lost sight of it... even when fear, routine, and the temptation of “one more year” crept in.She shares how she built her “superhero account,” prepared for healthcare, learned to balance enjoying today with planning for tomorrow, and embraced the courage to leave a career she liked for a life she loves.Want to be a guest on THIS show and help others by sharing your story?

Archaeologists trace the earliest clay containers to the Stone Age when people used crude stone tools to make clay pots for cooking and storage. Today's potters use special types of clay and sophisticated techniques to produce fine craft ceramics. Once crafted mostly by artists, pottery is now one of the hottest hobbies in the country. Ceramics classes are full to bursting, some kilns are running 24 hours a day and the British show, “The Great Pottery Throwdown” has millions of rabid fans. What kicked off this ceramics craze that shows no signs of slowing down?*This segment originally aired in December 2024*

The New York Times just ran a piece about a wave of new converts to Orthodox Christianity in the US, especially among young conservative men, the so-called “Orthobros”. The trend is largely driven by hard-line influencers on YouTube and other social media platforms, and has put parishes in uncharted territory. George Demacopoulos, the co-director of the Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University, joins Thanos Davelis as we look into the “Orthobro” phenomenon and what it means for the church.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Orthodox Church Pews Are Overflowing With ConvertsAn ‘exceptional' brand looking for a new identityMitsotakis: Greece aims for ‘win-win' with US without undoing China deals
Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel – Luke 19:11-28 – While people were listening to Jesus speak, He proceeded to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the Kingdom of God would appear there immediately. So He said,”A nobleman went off to a distant country to obtain the kingship for himself and then to return. He called ten of his servants and gave them ten gold coins and told them, ‘Engage in trade with these until I return.’ His fellow citizens, however, despised him and sent a delegation after him to announce, ‘We do not want this man to be our king.’ But when he returned after obtaining the kingship, he had the servants called, to whom he had given the money, to learn what they had gained by trading. The first came forward and said, ‘Sir, your gold coin has earned ten additional ones.’ He replied, ‘Well done, good servant! You have been faithful in this very small matter; take charge of ten cities.’ Then the second came and reported, ‘Your gold coin, sir, has earned five more.’ And to this servant too he said, ‘You, take charge of five cities.’ Then the other servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your gold coin; I kept it stored away in a handkerchief, for I was afraid of you, because you are a demanding man; you take up what you did not lay down and you harvest what you did not plant.’ He said to him, ‘With your own words I shall condemn you, you wicked servant. You knew I was a demanding man, taking up what I did not lay down and harvesting what I did not plant; why did you not put my money in a bank? Then on my return I would have collected it with interest.’ And to those standing by he said, ‘Take the gold coin from him and give it to the servant who has ten.’ But they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten gold coins.’ He replied, ‘I tell you, to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. Now as for those enemies of mine who did not want me as their king, bring them here and slay them before me.'” After He had said this, He proceeded on His journey up to Jerusalem.

Modern culture is collapsing into confusion—and men feel it first. In this conversation, Fr. John Strickland and Brian Patrick Mitchell trace today's moral chaos back to its roots and show why Orthodoxy is drawing men who crave order, meaning, and brotherhood. We talk the Great Schism, feminism's impact on the sexes, the lure of ideology vs. Logos, and why repentance and worship orient a man toward reality. If you're disillusioned with entertainment “church,” self-help, or politics as salvation, this is your road back to stability, strength, and community.→ Ready to act, not just watch?

Whether it serves as a chill escape from the onslaught of the real world or simply a way to beat vacation doldrums, a viral Roblox game about gardening has become the surprise hit of the summer. Grow a Garden, created by a 16-year-old in a few days, has shattered records for the most concurrent players of any game in history, beating out video games that take years and millions of dollars to develop. Grow a Garden is as simple as its name suggests—players can fill a plot of land with plants and animals, harvest and sell, trade or steal each other's bounty. The game is low stress, with an aesthetic reminiscent of Minecraft and a soundtrack of soothing classical tunes such as Mozart's “Rondo alla Turca” playing in the background. Its popularity has further cemented Roblox's place not just in the gaming world but in popular culture—for better or for worse, it's where the kids hang out. “The word I keep hearing used over and over to describe this particular game is that it's chill, which is just such a nice alternative. I get a lot of sort of that Animal Crossing vibe from it. You know, like you can check in, you can check your gardens, you can get some new seeds, you can plant them,” said Betsy Bozdech, editorial director at the nonprofit Common Sense Media. “I have an 11-year-old son who (plays it) and he says to him the big difference is that a lot of games have a big giant objective that you have to do, but in Grow a Garden, you can just kind of hang out and do what you want,” Bozdech said. Coincidence or not, Grow a Garden soared to popularity around the same time that Take-Two Interactive announced it would delay the launch of its wildly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 until next year. In late June, the gardening game logged 21.6 million concurrent players, surpassing Fortnite's previous record of 15.2 million according to Roblox. Analysts who follow Roblox's stock say Grow a Garden is helping boost the company's revenue and will push the company's quarterly earnings numbers above Wall Street's expectations.

His Eminence Cardinal Raymond Burke explained why the Traditional Latin Mass “is attracting the young people and which attracts me is that the form of the rite is such that it makes it clear that it's Christ Who's acting.” Cardinal Burke noted that ancient Mass and Gregorian chant have been lost: “Well, those things somehow got lost. Not everywhere, but, sadly, in great part.” https://www.birchgold.com/taylor — Get your FREE infokit from Birch Gold and secure your future today. Learn more about your ad choices.

New users have piled in to Chinese social media app RedNote just days before a proposed U.S. ban on the popular social media app TikTok is scheduled to go into effect. The lesser-known RedNote is rushing to capitalize on the sudden influx while walking a delicate line of moderating English-language content. Meanwhile, Americans flocking to RedNote are expressing shock at what they're learning about Chinese culture and the surprisingly comfortable conditions the Chinese people live in. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to journalist Danny Haiphong about the propaganda most Americans are exposed to regarding China and how RedNote is unexpectedly helping tear down cross-cultural barriers. Plus segments on journalists Max Blumenthal and Sam Husseini being forcibly removed from Antony Blinken's last press briefing as Secretary of State as well as CNN's shocking response to this assault on the free press.
Today, we're waving goodbye to Joe Biden's administration as he departs the White House to make way for President-elect Trump. Of course, he couldn't help getting one last jab in at the incoming administration in his farewell address. But to commemorate, we go over our bottom five lowlights of his administration. Also, AOC went on a weird rant about "trans girls" after the House passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. And Andrew Tate is once again trending, and we're here to remind everyone why, in fact, he is not someone to aspire to. At least Carrie Underwood will be singing at the inauguration, and nobody should have anything bad to say about that, right?
