We answer the following questions about superpowers: Can superheroes be real people? (No.) Can real people become superheroes? (Maybe.) And which is better: flight or invisibility? (Depends who you ask.) Host Ira Glass talks to comic artist Chris Ware, who thought about superheroes a lot of the time as a kid. He invented his own character and made a superhero costume, which he wore to school under his regular clothes. Which went fine until he realized he would have to change for gym class. (6 minutes)Act One: John Hodgman conducts an informal survey in which he asks the age-old question: Which is better: The power of flight or the power of invisibility? (14 minutes)Act Two: Kelly McEvers with the story of Zora, a self-made superhero. From the time she was five years old, Zora had recurring dreams in which she was a 6'5" warrior queen, who could fly and shoot lightning from her hands. She made a list, pages and pages long, of all the things she could accomplish to actually become that superhero: martial arts, evasive driving, bomb defusing. By the time she was 30, most of her list had been checked off. She was as close to a superhero as any mortal could hope to come. But her dream had changed. (17 minutes)Act Three: Ira talks with Jonathan Morris, the amazingly funny and charming editor of the website "Gone and Forgotten," an internet archive of failed comic book characters. Jonathan explains what makes a new superhero succeed, and what makes him tank. (9 minutes)Act Four: Of course you can't be a superhero without a supervillain trying to destroy you. And the most interesting supervillains, of course, are the ones who think that they're the real heroes, not the guys in the capes. Glynn Washington tells the story of Evil D.

What makes a good podcast host? That's a question many of us ask! What gives a Podcast its "hostiness" and makes you want to come back for more again and again?“There's almost nothing about hosting and really by implication producing and that, that quality – I did not coin the term 'hostiness,' that comes from I believe PRX many years ago – but it's, it's this ineffable quality that makes us go 'oh, I love listening to Ira Glass,' or Jad Abumrad of Radio Lab, or Anna Sale, or Brené Brown, or whoever we connect with, and different people obviously connect with different hosts. But what is that makes us connect?”-- Elaine Appleton GrantMy next guest has actually been on this podcast before. She's an award-winning journalist, audio producer, and on-air talent who worked for three NPR affiliates before founding Podcast Allies, LLC in 2019. She hosts the podcast Sound Judgment, a master study in great podcast hosting, and I'm certainly honored to have her here. In fact, you might have heard her review of this podcast read out on a recent show. Her show features today's best hosts, and producers, including Glynn Washington, host of Snap Judgment, John Barth, founding producer of Marketplace, Ann Bogel of What Should I Read Next, and Stephanie Wittels Wachs of Last Day. Her production company, Podcast Allies, develops narrative and conversation podcasts for social impact organizations, such as the Environmental Defense Fund and the American Academy of Pediatrics, so her background in audio is pretty extensive.Her name is Elaine Appleton Grant, and I'm looking forward to getting her take on what she feels makes a good podcast and a great host. With all the interesting people she's interviewed, she's bound to have a very informed opinion.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

I would so appreciate that. The Voice of GodAs we start the episode off, the discussion turns straight to podcasting, its storytelling strengths, and the powerful role it plays in audio branding. We talk about her work with John Barth, developer of the famous Moth Radio Hour, and Elaine and I discuss audio trends in everything from television commercials to movie trailers, and how modern audiences have outgrown the classic "voice of God" Hollywood voice-overs. As Elaine puts it, "it's like the end of the newscaster voice." Ways to Get AttentionOur conversation continues with a look at how multi-tasking and our always-on-the-go lifestyle have changed the tone and purpose of advertising. "We're all trying to find ways to get attention," she says. "There are effective ways, there are good ways, there are ways with integrity, and there are ways that you and I might argue are less so." We talk about how this very podcast got its start and the audio trends, both good and not-so-good, that helped inspire its focus on sonic branding.

Click on the stars to rate; click on “Write a Review” to tell us what you think! Takeaways from this episode1. Your story could be worth millions of dollars. Why aren't you analyzing what makes it good? Like the typical podcast host, the typical speaker—no matter how successful— doesn't know why their material is good. They're just operating on instinct. Which also means you don't know how to improve your work. As Jay said, a good keynote speaker tells the same story many, many different times a year, often for several years. As he says, that means their “signature story” could be worth millions and millions of dollars. He's dumbfounded by the lack of insight most speakers have about these extraordinarily valuable stories. “To not know how or why it's good, or how it's gotten better over time, is amazing,” he says.That's one reason he started Standing Ovation and a big reason why I started Sound Judgment and am on a quest to identify the universal skills of hostiness. While you're not likely to make millions directly from your podcast, if you use it as the linchpin of your business or your social impact organization, you could count its value in the millions. That's just one of many superb reasons to keep learning. Dissect your own episodes, on your own or with a guide. Also, deconstruct podcasts you love. You'll learn a ton and your work will become far more valuable in the process. 2. Bob Ross had it right. Remember the painting instructor on PBS? Millions of people watched his show, because he instructed while he painted pictures – and made the process understandable through example. Jay Baer loves what I call “living case studies” because they do what Bob Ross did – they entertain while they inform. Everybody tuning into a show like Standing Ovation, or Bob Ross, envisions themselves practicing the craft themselves. It's vicarious, which is fun, and inspiring. And, as Jay says, if you're asking someone to invest their very precious time listening to your show, “you darn well better both entertain them and improve them in some way.” That's especially true for business, personal development, and educational shows of all kinds. 3. When and why should you tell a personal story, if your podcast isn't personal? Say you run a podcast for small business owners, fitness enthusiasts, or fly fishermen? There are two tests: Is it relevant to your ideal listener? Can you tie a lesson back to the topic at hand? Two, does it elicit an emotion? As Jay said, if you barrage listeners with one piece of data after another, they won't remember it. But they will remember how you make them feel, as Maya Angelou so famously said. 4. Name your listeners! It's a great way to create a community. When we're identified by a name we feel good about, we feel like we've made it into a special club. It's a metaphorical shirt we can put on. Glynn Washington calls Snap Judgment listeners Snappers; Jay calls his Standing Ovation listeners Clappers.What should I call you? What metaphorical shirt do you want to wear?We are running a contest, inspired by Jay. Whomever comes up with the best, most fun name for yourself and your fellow listeners will get a bottle of tequila from Jay's personal stash.

What you're doing is taking the listener on a journey with you. That takes intention. From the very beginning of any episode, Glynn is thinking about how to persuade the listener to go on a journey with him. He's taking you into a different world, introducing you to the interior lives of the characters in these stories. He wants you to be curious, surprised, to feel things. He asks this question: “What piece of myself can act as an avatar for this journey I want to take people on? What piece of me can do that? That's the hostiness of it all.” 2. To have hostiness is to be animated by a question – and the question that lights you up will be different than the one that lights me up. Snap Judgment is all about empathy - how to evoke, how to get listeners to walk in someone else's shoes for a little while. But Jad Abumrad of RadioLab's animating force was curiosity. What animates you? Stay true to that. 3. To Glynn, the best characters are not the famous and successful. They're the people who've made mistakes; who don't want to face the ramifications of their actions, who've had some hard knocks – like Dick, the zookeeper in Zoo Nebraska who didn't want his story told. Rarely – if ever – are people villains on purpose. 4. You don't have to be Batman to have a good story to tell. In fact, you may be able to tell an amazing story about walking across the street, if we learn what it took for you to get from one side of the street to the other, and how high the stakes are. 5. And five…Don't leave out the washing machine. It's the ordinary details of life – even when they happen in the middle of a chimp escape – that make stories real for listeners.

Glynn Washington is the creator of the Snap Judgement radio show, as well as a law school grad, activist and educator. But paranormal fans know him for his work on Spooked, the listener-submitted scary story podcast he created, executive produces and hosts. Now in the midst of its seventh season (on Apple, Spotify, and with bonus episodes on the Luminary platform), Spooked is deep in monster territory while still telling tales of ghosts, and demons. Washington joins host Aaron Sagers to discuss the cultural connections of these monster stories, as well as exploring how paranormal stories can open us up to other communities. Plus, Washington chats about his upbringing in an apocalyptic religious cult, and his world travels in search of the strange, the mystic, and the divine. Learn more about your ad choices.

Glynn Washington and I go way back—I used to be a producer on his public radio show Snap Judgment—and I've heard him talk loads about his time growing up as a black child in a white supremacist cult called the Worldwide Church of God. But that didn't prepare me for the whole story.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Glynn Washington is a highly successful podcaster, hosting shows such as Snap Judgment, Spooked and Heaven's Gate. But I bet you didn't know that his storytelling style is highly influenced by cult leader, Herbert W. Armstrong of the Worldwide Church of God. How did Glynn end up in this cult? What did he take from Armstrong? And what was it like to be in a black family that joined a “white supremacist Jesus cult?” Glynn Washington takes us through the answers to these questions on episode three of Worldwide: The Unchosen Church. Hosted, written and produced by Dr. Tricia Jenkins. Sound design and editing by Thirteen Media. Special thanks to Glynn Washington for his participation in this episode. Glynn is the host of his own podcast Snap Judgment, which can be found on Apple podcasts, or wherever podcasts are hosted.
In this episode, we break down cults and aspects of them, and compare them with the TFU. Are Jeff and Shaleia cult leaders? We give our opinions based on research, and then take a deep dive into Heavens Gate, AKA the UFO cult. This is our discussion on the podcast Twin Flames by Wondery, and Heaven's Gate by Stitcher & Pineapple Street Media, Glynn Washington
