Today we're talking with Pete Peterson, a man who has spent much of his career at the intersection of story, faith, theater, and the arts. Pete is a playwright, publisher, and one of the central figures in The Rabbit Room since its earliest days, working with his brother Andrew Peterson to turn a small online community into a thriving center for books, music, theater, and other arts. The Rabbit Room has grown from a small experiment in creative community into a remarkable organization encompassing books, music, theater, podcasts, conferences, and North Wind Manor. Pete served for seven years as its executive director, helping guide that growth, and today serves as publisher of Rabbit Room Press and artistic director of Rabbit Room Theatre. But Pete is also a storyteller in his own right. Writing under the name A. S. Peterson, he is the author of The Fiddler's Gun and Fiddler's Green, and he has written extensively for the stage. His plays include The Battle of Franklin, a Civil War musical; an acclaimed adaptation of Frankenstein; and The Hiding Place, based on Corrie ten Boom's story. His work as a playwright has earned both critical recognition and awards. Perhaps nowhere, though, has Pete's particular combination of literary taste, artistic ambition, and entrepreneurial nerve been more visible than at Rabbit Room Press. The press has built a reputation for publishing beautiful, distinctive books that don't fit neatly into conventional categories—and in 2026 it struck publishing gold with British poet and priest Malcolm Guite's Galahad and the Grail. The book became Rabbit Room Press's biggest launch ever, reaching the Top 50 of Amazon's overall books chart, selling out at Amazon, and later winning the 2026 Parnassus Prize. So today, we're going to talk about books, publishing, theater, and what it takes to convince modern readers that great literature still matters.

For this Managed Care Cast episode, The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®) spoke with Anuraag R. Kansal, PhD, who leads health economics research at GRAIL, about his study, “State Medicaid Budgetary Implications of New Cancers," published in the July 2026 issue; it examined how new cancer diagnoses affected state Medicaid budgets. He conducted the study with Amanda C. Chen, PhD, of the USC Mann School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and David C. Grabowski, PhD, of Harvard Medical School. Kansal explained to AJMC that despite Medicaid's younger population, cancer remains the third-largest source of program spending. Most existing research had focused on commercial and Medicare populations rather than Medicaid specifically. Consequently, using de-identified CMS claims data, he and his team identified new cancer diagnoses, defined as no prior cancer evidence in the preceding 6 months, and compared spending, hospitalizations, and emergency department use between metastatic and non-metastatic cases. Kansal highlighted the core finding, which was that metastatic diagnoses were associated with significantly higher spending than non-metastatic diagnoses across most cancer types. Notably, health care utilization patterns were consistent between fee-for-service and capitated Medicaid states, suggesting that cost drivers stemmed from the disease itself, particularly the shift to systemic therapies once cancer spread, rather than from program administration models. Kansal pointed to the 4 cancer screenings recommended by the US Preventive Services Task Force, namely lung, breast, colorectal, and cervical, as opportunities to reduce late-stage diagnoses and their associated costs while noting that cancers without established screening protocols presented a distinct policy challenge. On balancing innovative treatment access with cost sustainability, he emphasized that Medicaid's state-by-state administration means that no single policy solution applied universally. Still, Kansal emphasized that earlier detection could offer states greater financial flexibility to support innovative therapies for patients with true clinical need. “Intervening earlier is one of the opportunities we might have to really make a difference,” he concluded.

Ask any seasoned collector what his or her grail watch was upon first entering the hobby, and chances are the answer will be very different from what it is today. As our knowledge grows and our tastes mature, so too do the watches we aspire to own. Sometimes the grail gets bigger, sometimes it gets smaller, and occasionally, it turns out we already owned it without realizing. In this episode of Fratello Talks, Nacho is joined by RJ and Thomas to reflect on how their grail watches have changed over the years. They discuss the influence of experience, changing priorities, and why the concept of a grail watch is often more fluid than collectors expect.

Every collector dreams about landing a grail.Very few spend enough time thinking about how to price one.When a card has little or no sales history, the normal playbook breaks down. There are no clean comps. No chart to follow. No market consensus to lean on.That is where your judgment matters.In this episode, Brett shares a framework for evaluating grails when public sales data falls short. He covers how to build a substitute universe, evaluate opportunity frequency, negotiate from a position of strength, know when to walk away, and determine the maximum price you can defend without lying to yourself.A grail is not only a collecting decision.It is a financial decision.It is a psychological decision.It is a test of discipline.If you're heading to Fanatics Fest, The National, or you're chasing a card that rarely surfaces, this episode will help you think through the biggest purchase your collection might ever face.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Every collector dreams about landing a grail.Few talk about what happens when that opportunity finally arrives.In this episode, Brett explores the decisions that come before a grail enters a collection. Drawing from a real situation he is navigating, he shifts the focus away from the card itself and toward the process behind the purchase.The conversation examines why access is not obligation, how trust influences private deals, the difference between emotion and conviction, and why opportunity cost deserves as much attention as price. Brett also shares the questions every collector should ask before allowing one card to reshape the direction of a collection.This episode is a reminder that the strongest collections are not built by chasing every opportunity. They are built through patience, clarity, and decisions that hold up long after the excitement wears off.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
If you’ve spent much time in the worlds of poetry, faith, or the imagination, you’ve almost certainly encountered the work of Malcolm Guite. He’s one of those rare figures who moves comfortably between the academy, the church, and the arts. Guite is an Anglican priest, acclaimed poet, singer-songwriter, and Life Fellow of Girton College, where he served as chaplain for seventeen years.” Over the years, he has become one of today’s most influential voices exploring the intersection of literature, beauty, and Christian faith through books such as Faith, Hope and Poetry, Lifting the Veil, Mariner, and his beloved collections of sonnets inspired by the church year. His newest work is Galahad and the Holy Grail, a fresh retelling of one of the greatest stories in the Arthurian tradition. Rather than simply retelling an old legend, Guite invites readers into a richly imagined spiritual journey that explores courage, purity, sacrifice, and the deep human longing for God. Written in narrative verse, the book combines the musicality of poetry with the momentum of an epic adventure, making an ancient story feel remarkably fresh and relevant for modern readers. One of the delights of this project is that Galahad and the Holy Grail isn’t confined to the printed page. Guite has also taken the work on the road, performing it before live audiences in churches, theaters, and literary festivals. Those performances blend storytelling, dramatic reading, and music in a way that recalls the medieval tradition of poems being heard as well as read. Audience response has been enthusiastic, with many listeners discovering that the oral performance brings new depth and emotion to the story. Today we’ll talk with Malcolm Guite about the enduring power of the Grail legend, why ancient stories still matter, how poetry helps us recover wonder, and what Galahad’s quest can teach us about our own search for truth, beauty, and grace. I think you’ll enjoy this conversation. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm your host, Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.
You spend years preparing for the grail.You save.You study.You build relationships.You pass on other cards so you're ready when the opportunity comes.Then it happens.The card is finally yours.Now what?This episode explores the part of collecting that rarely gets discussed.

And how the best collectors turn a major acquisition into something that keeps adding value long after the mail day.We talk about:• Why the chase and ownership are two different experiences• How to keep a grail from becoming another card in the case• Why stories matter more than scans• How community deepens ownership• Why your grail should reorganize your collection instead of ending it• Questions every collector should ask after landing a major cardIf you've ever chased a grail or you're preparing for one, this episode is for you.Happy collecting.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm joined by Trudy McKanna, Senior Field Medical Director at GRAIL, to talk about a groundbreaking new test called Galleri®. This multi-cancer early detection test can identify signals of more than 50 different types of cancer through a simple blood draw, often before symptoms appear. For anyone focused on protecting their long-term health, identifying possible cancers early, and for those who have done treatment and may be concerned about future cancer risk, this technology could be life-changing. We talk about how the Galleri® test works, the science behind it, and what this means for cancer treatment and detection. Trudy also shares why early detection is so critical, how accurate the test is, and what healthcare providers and patients need to know about accessing this innovation. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's site (with a transcript). In this episode, we cover: - What GRAIL's Galleri® test is and how it works - How early cancer detection offers more time and options for care, plus how it may help patients avoid chemo - Why the test could revolutionize preventative care and cancer treatment plans - What fertility specialists and patients should know about using Galleri® after Clomid usage - How GRAIL is working to expand access and education around early detection Find GRAIL's Galleri® test here: https://www.galleri.com/ Do you have questions about IVF?

In March, we welcomed Malcolm Guite for an in-person event to celebrate his new book, Galahad and the Grail, which is the first in his Merlin's Isle trilogy published through Rabbit Room Press. While he was with us, Malcolm sat for this podcast interview in which he described his vision in creating this epic ballad, along with offering a deep exploration of what brought him to poetry in the first place. Since the book's release, Galahad and the Grail has topped bestselling charts and received numerous accolades, demonstrating that its ancient stories find renewal in our modern era.

Diana Badger is a counseling astrologer, writer/editor, gardener, Sufi practitioner, dream work facilitator, and photographer. In this conversation, she explores astrology as a living relationship between ecology, myth, and archetype—where heavenly wisdom is brought down to earth. She works within an ancient system that views astrology not as prediction but participation. Drawing on archetypal wisdom and depth psychology, Badger reveals how the patterns of the cosmos mirror the deep structures of our psyches, offering a map for transformation in times of upheaval. Interwoven with ecological consciousness, her work reminds us that inner renewal and the healing of the Earth are inseparable. She is the author of Dance of the Archetypes: How Astrology Informs Our Lives and Connects Us to the Earth (Elemental Books 2026)Interview Date: 3/27/2026 Tags: Diana Badger, No Kings March, Aquarius, Grail legend, Celtic calendar of Earth seasons, Sherri Mitchell, Pam Grout, Quantum field of infinite possibilities, law of attraction, Astrology, Dreams, Personal Transformation, Psychology
What Can Lead a Weary Soul to the Divine in a Post-Christian World? Malcolm Guite is back for part two of our chat with him, and this time we go from atheism to awe, from the Psalms to the Holy Grail, and from Keats to King Arthur. Malcolm tells the wild story of how poetry cracked open his imagination and shattered his unbelief, leading him into the living presence of God — then shows why Galahad and the Grail might be the ancient, weird, luminous story our burned-out, disenchanted world needs now.

Plugged In's Adam Holz reflects on a Wall Street Journal article that measured the amount of talking we do. Parents talk less to their kids, leading to slower development with kids. Neighbors talk less, leading to weaker community bonds. How do strengthen the ties that bind? He also reviews the new rendition of "Animal Farm" and "The Devil Wears Prada 2." Novelist Malcolm Guite, author of "Galahad and the Grail" (the first in the "Merlin's Isle: an Arthuriad series), talks about how many of societies stories and myths point to a deeper truth only fully and best understood in the Gospel of Jesus.

What is your calling in life? For poet, songwriter, and academic, Malcolm Guite, it's unequivocally clear–to be a storyteller. Today on the podcast Audrey and I chat with Malcolm about the first volume in his new retelling of the classic King Arthur stories, Galahad and the Grail, illustrated by the incredible Stephen Crotts and published by our friends over at Rabbit Room Press. Not only is Malcolm adapting the legends of King Arthur, he's doing it in poetic ballad form, which means they are basically designed to be read aloud. In our conversation, he tells us about the epic journey he and his publisher and illustrator undertook to visit sites connected to the Arthurian legends, how a childhood surrounded by books and stories led him to his lifelong love and study of literature and poetry, and the impact his own mother had on his journey to becoming a poet and storyteller. In this episode, you'll hear: Why Malcolm chose to write this story in ballad form How woodland walks inspire Malcolm's writing and why he knew it was time to “take up the tale”What elements and parallels of Biblical stories Malcolm wanted to restore that have often been left out of modern Arthurian retellingsLearn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/malcolm-guite
Malcolm Guite and Russell meet in Andrew Peterson's Chapter House–Guite's pipe smoke billowing–on the occasion of Guite's new book, Galahad and the Grail, the first volume in the Merlin's Isle trilogy from Rabbit Room Press. Guite argues that myths and old stories aren't just relics of a pre-modern imagination, they're carriers of truth we've forgotten how to see with modern eyes. From King Arthur to the Holy Grail, these stories don't distract us from the real world, they reveal it. Guite suggests that our cultural moment—fragmented, distracted, and flattened by endless scrolling—has left us dismembered. We no longer see our lives as part of a coherent narrative. And without story, we lose not just meaning but identity. At the center of it all is a claim both strange and familiar: that the greatest story ever told is not one among many, but the one that gives meaning to all the others. Along the way, Russell and Malcolm talk about how Guite has found a new audience on his wildly popular YouTube channel hosted out of his home library, the definition and origins of chivalry, and even the role Guite played in Martin Shaw's conversion (find Russell's interview with Shaw, here). King Arthur, the Grail, Merlin…these aren't just literary devices. They and other mythical tales echo something real about sin, redemption, and the hope that what is broken in us and in the world can be made whole again.

On The Literary Life Podcast with Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks this week, we will wrap up our discussion of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. After sharing their commonplace quote for this week, Thomas and Angelina jump right into recapping the important plot points of this last section of the book. They start with some contrasts between St. John and Rochester, then they talk about the journey of the soul and the image of marriage. They also consider the parallels of her return to Thornfield and the reversals in these scenes, as well as how Brontë fulfills the various fairy tale endings she set up earlier in the book.
