Chennai native Shreya Nagarajan Singh launched SNS Arts Development Consultancy to offer strategic guidance and management to artists in the Indian arts landscape after an extraordinarily accomplished career as a performing artist as a Bharatnatyam Dancer, academic credentials that include a Masters's Degree in Arts Management at Columbia College on a Fullbright Scholarship, delegation in the Asia Pacific Leadership Program in the The East-West Centre in Hawaii, and a 6month solo-travel stint in a pre-Google Maps era still left her looking for a way to fulfill her true calling: make an impact on the Indian arts landscape that addresses some of its biggest loopholes that include archaic pedagogical methods, patriarchal power dynamics, casteism, informal economies and an eco-system that struggles to decipher accountability.   This long-form conversation turned interview aims to explore the journey that has been since.   All details on:   www.tapasyaloading.com/snsarts

On the heels of launching my latest book, Our Book of Awesome, I'm enjoying the fellowship of two authors in my life — one of whom I met 22 years ago when I was in my final year at Queen's.   Bounding into my life at the time came a young professor named Ajay Agrawal. And I mean bounding! He was cold calling left, right and center,  dancing around the room, and extremely theatrical. As you listen to him you'll see why I found him so captivating and clairvoyant.    Professor Ajay Agrawal has won Professor of the Year seven times! He's like Canada's Adam Grant. He is the co-author of the bestselling book, Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence, named one of the best tech books of the year by Forbes, The New York Times and The Economist. His latest book has just come out and it is called, Power and Prediction, also co-authored with Joshua Gans and Avi Goldfarb.   Ajay is a tenured professor at Rotman, a research associate at The National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, founder of the Creative Destruction Lab, a not-for-profit program that helps start-ups launch, and co-founder of Next Canada dedicated to the development and training of young entrepreneurs. He is also a recent winner of the Order of Canada which is the highest civilian honor that Canada awards.   Over the years I've gotten a chance to meet Ajay's truly lovely partner in life: Gina Buonaguro. And, guess what? She's a writer too! Ajay focuses on the future. Gina focuses on the past. Gina is originally from New Jersey but has been living in Toronto for many years. She started at Villanova University, all the way up to the University of British Columbia on a Fullbright Scholarship.   Gina's written dozens of articles, won five writing grants and is the co-author of six historical fiction books, including her latest, The Virgins of Venice.   You could not think of two books which are more different: The Virgins of Venice and Power and Prediction. One is a 500 year old historical fiction saga taking place in a convent with sexy nuns. And the other a deep dive into AI.   I was intrigued by the relationship dynamics between them, what their books really say, and how their writing processes work. So I invited them, together, to come on 3 Books. I also asked Leslie to join the conversation.    So the four of us sat down in Gina and Ajay's living room and we discussed questions like: what is the fate of girls in 16th century Venice, what does it mean for a city to be excommunicated, why has Uber been so revolutionary, what is the point vs systems solution in AI, how can books be shared and read together, what is an Untouchable Day, how can we think about living a little more intentionally, how does AI manipulate us today and it goes on and on and on.   This is a wide ranging conversation that I think you will truly enjoy.   Let's flip the page into Chapter 117 now…   What You'll Learn: What does it mean for a city to be excommunicated? Why has Uber been so revolutionary? What is a point solution vs a system solution in AI? What is holding AI back? How can books be shared and read together? What is a writer's group? What is the power of reading aloud to our kids? How can we bring in more quiet into our busy urban lives? What is an untouchable day? How can we live intentionally? How does AI manipulate us? What are the challenges of raising kids in a tech centric world? Why are young people finding social interactions so awkward these days? What is the Chinese solution to screen time? What is the tension between ideology and critical thinking? How can we encourage more critical thinking?  How can we temper cancel culture? What is the role of school today?   You can find show notes and more information by clicking here: https://www.3books.co/chapters/117   Leave us a voicemail.

Sylvia Plath was a twentieth century American poet, novelist, and short story writer immortalized by her confessional poetry and insight into the devastating effects of mental illness. She was a bright star in the literary world from an early age and displayed an enormous amount of potential, studying at both Smith College and Cambridge, where she obtained a Fullbright Scholarship to study at Newnham College. Her career…or rather…her life, was unfortunately grossly overshadowed by depression and what many people now believe to have been bipolar disorder, and sadly, Sylvia produced the best and most illustrious writing of her lifetime in the months just prior to committing suicide at the absurdly young age of 30. These poems were published posthumously in a collection entitled Ariel, which gained her extensive renowned and a devoted following of readers. There is a lot of debate about Sylvia, especially concerning her husband Ted Hughes and the nature of their relationship, but I promise we’ll get into all that later in the episode. In the meantime, pour yourself a drink as we try to keep it light while discussing the dark and tragic life of Sylvia Plath.

By Ellie Freeman Over 150,000 Koreans have been adopted overseas since the Korean War Armistice in 1954. And I am one of them. I was born in South Korea. I was adopted to Australia when I was a baby and raised by white Australian parents. I never knew my birth parents. All I knew was that my mother was not married when she became pregnant with me and, in 1980s Korea, could not afford to support me and had to give me up for adoption. When I met a Korean American adoptee in early 2013 who mentioned that some adoption files are falsified, I wanted suddenly to find out the truth. With the support of a Korean adoptee support organisation the Global Overseas Adoptees' Link, I returned to Korea for the first time since I was born and searched for my birth parents. Along the way, I met other Korean adoptees, saw the country where I was born, learned more about adoption and - unexpectedly - found my birth family. The idea for documenting this experience began when I was in Korea last September, so most of the atmos and scenes from my trip in this documentary are real recordings from that time. Judging from all the questions I am asked about my birth and where I'm from, I see that there are many myths and misconceptions about international adoptees. Not all of us want to search for birth family. Some of us have no desire to return to our home country. Some of us feel more Australian than Korean, or badly want to get in touch with our Korean roots, or simply don't know. Some of us have tried to search but unfortunately failed. Some of us have had happy reunion experiences, and some not so happy. International adoptees often battle issues around ethnic identity and isolation due to our unusual family circumstances. But in the modern age of social media, adoptees are establishing ways to organise activism, education, support, and outlets to express ourselves. We are a growing community with many diverse views, experiences and stories. I am telling my own story of birth family reunion in Korea along with the voices of other Korean Australian adoptees, academics and activists - to give an insight into our reality. These voices are: Kerrie Freeman - my adoptive mother HeeRa Heaser - Korean American adoptee, PhD student the University of New South Wales Seon Kee Woodley - Australian Korean adoptee from Melbourne, originally Perth Tiarne Double - Australian Korean adoptee from Tasmania Pia Meehan - Australian Korean adoptee from Perth Hana Crisp - Australian Korean adoptee from Melbourne, originally Hobart Carly Reid - Australian Korean adoptee from Brisbane, originally Perth Tim Vanderburg - Australian Korean adoptee living in South Korea, originally Sydney Andrea Kim - Korean American adoptee, Fullbright Scholarship researcher currently living in Seoul My Korean birth mother Park Young Hee - Korean Australian actress and performer, who acts as the voice of my adoptee social worker

Winner of the Media Ecology Association's first Neil Postman award for Career Achievement in Public Intellectual Activity, Dr. Douglas Rushkoff is an author, teacher, and documentarian who focuses on the ways people, cultures, and institutions create, share, and influence each other's values.

His new book, Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus: How Growth Became the Enemy of Prosperity, argues that we have failed to build the distributed economy that digital networks are capable of fostering, and instead doubled down on the industrial age mandate of growth above all. His previous best-selling books on media and popular culture have been translated to over thirty languages. They include Present Shock: When Everything Happens Now, Program or Be Programmed: Ten Commands for a Digital Age, a followup to his Frontline documentary, Digital Nation, and Life Inc, an analysis of the corporate spectacle, which was also made into a short, award-winning film. His other books include Cyberia, Media Virus, Playing the Future, Nothing Sacred: The Truth about Judaism, Get Back in the Box: Innovation from the Inside Out and Coercion, winner of the Marshall Mcluhan Award for best media book. Rushkoff also wrote the acclaimed novels Ecstasy Club and Exit Strategy and graphic novel, Club Zero-G. He wrote the graphic novels Testament and A.D.D., for Vertigo. He has written and hosted three award-winning PBS Frontline documentaries – The Merchants of Cool looked at the influence of corporations on youth culture, The Persuaders, about the cluttered landscape of marketing, and new efforts to overcome consumer resistance, and Digital Nation, about life on the virtual frontier. Most recently, he made Generation Like, an exploration of teens, marketers, and social media. He has been awarded a Fullbright Scholarship, and Senior Fellowships by the Markle Foundation, the Center for Global Communications, and the International University of Japan. He served as an Advisor to the United Nations Commission on World Culture and regularly appears on TV shows from NBC Nightly News and Larry King to the Colbert Report and Bill Maher. He developed the Electronic Oracle software series for HarperCollins Interactive. In this episode, we talk about how he sees the purpose of Judaism is to help one transcend Judaism, the psycho-social peril of living in the digital now, and how the new media empires has failed to build the distributed economy that digital networks are capable of fostering, and instead doubled down on the industrial age mandate of growth above all. I got to talk to one of my heroes, and this show made it possible. Thanks, OTBR listeners. You make it all possible. Enjoy!

Join ‘She' and Clare Benson as they explore her work in Sweden. Benson recently spent the 2014/2015 academic year pursuing research in the far north of Sweden, at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF), working under the auspices of a Fulbright Fellowship. This new project explores intersections of space science and indigenous celestial mythology in northern Scandinavia (a region also known as Sápmi). Work from this project will be exhibited in Tucson, Arizona in the fall of 2016, with plans for future exhibitions and continued development in the US and Scandinavia.
