“I want to die empty with no music on my hard drive!” ~ DJ Spinz  In this episode of Skipping Class, presented by The Progress Report, Lalaa Shepard sits down with legendary producer and DJ DJ Spinz for an in-depth conversation about his journey from Augusta, Georgia, to becoming one of the architects behind Atlanta's modern sound.  DJ Spinz reflects on his early beginnings, the influence of his grandmother and uncle's supper club, and how faith, consistency, and purpose have guided his career. He also opens up about contributing to Metro Boomin's, ‘A Futuristic Summa' project, producing Future's “No Love” alongside Dun Deal, and the lessons he's learned throughout his evolution as both a DJ and producer.  Throughout the conversation, DJ Spinz shares never-before-heard stories from the Hoodrich era, discusses working alongside Metro Boomin, DJ Scream, DJ Esco, Pablo Juan, Johnny Cinco, and Guap Tarantino, and addresses whether fans can expect new music from Rocko. Lalaa Shepard also revisits exclusive moments from past interviews with Rich Homie Quan and Ca$h Out, allowing DJ Spinz to react in real time to those conversations. DJ Spinz speaks candidly about Ca$h Out's current life sentence, reflects on his relationship with Rich Homie Quan, and shares insight into the importance of creators receiving the recognition and compensation they deserve.  From untold industry stories to lessons on purpose, perseverance, and protecting your vision, this conversation is packed with gems for music lovers, creatives, and anyone chasing greatness.  Hosted by Lalaa Shepard.  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/spinz/  https://www.instagram.com/lalaashep/  https://www.instagram.com/theprogressreport101/  https://www.instagram.com/tprmediagroup1/  Website:  https://TPRMediaGroup.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Contemporary French and Francophone Futuristic Novels: The Longing to be Written and Its Refusal (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) sheds a new light on the metafictional aspects of futuristic and science fiction novels, at the crossroads of information and media studies, possible worlds theories applied to cognitive narratology, questions related to the criticism of post-humanity, and, more broadly, contemporary French and Francophone literature. It examines the fictional minds of characters and their conceptions of resistance to the anticipated worlds they inhabit, particularly in novels by Pierre Bordage, Marie Darrieussecq, Michel Houellebecq, Amin Maalouf, Jean-Christophe Rufin, Antoine Volodine, and Élisabeth Vonarburg. It also explores how corporal postures serve as a matrix for philosophical quests in novels by Amélie Nothomb, Alain Damasio, and Romain Lucazeau. More specifically, from the fictional readers' points of view, it provides a critical approach to the mythologies of writing, in the wake of the French philosophical tales by authors including Cyrano de Bergerac and Voltaire, to question the traditionally expressed formulations of the mythologies of writing, that is, of the metaphors of the book (the book of life, nature, and the world), to rethink the idea of a humanity within its limits. Guest Emmanuel Buzay is currently working as an international technical expert for the Modern Language Association and the French Embassy in the US, having previously held appointments at UMass Amherst and the University of Connecticut. In addition to this monograph, he has published book chapters on topics from Frankenstein to Michel Houellebecq, and his articles have appeared in Nouvelles Études Francophones, Res Futurae, and Contemporary French and Francophone Studies. Host Gina Stamm is Associate Professor of French at The University of Alabama, with research concentrated on the environmental humanities and speculative literatures of the 20th and 21st centuries, from Surrealism to contemporary science fiction and feminist utopias, in Metropolitan France and the francophone Caribbean, with a book manuscript under review on posthumanist ecological engagement in the surrealist movement.

Caltrans is exploring a futuristic idea to run high-speed buses—capable of 80 to 140 mph—on dedicated freeway lanes across California. Is the state waiving the white flag on High Speed Rail? Will this add a lane or take one away from cars? Still in the early research phase, the plan would require major infrastructure upgrades, specialized vehicles, and new safety systems.
