Podcasts about Greenwell

Today's episode features guest host Michael Upshall (guest editor, Charleston Briefings) who talks with Stacey Greenwell, Librarian, Author and Instructional Designer.  Stacey has authored and co-authored several books on library practice, including Management Information for Professionals and Academic Librarianship, and she currently edits the open-access journal Practical Academic Librarianship. She coordinates educational services at the University of Kentucky libraries where she brings together all the instruction librarians at the University and those within their library system who have an interest in instruction to talk and learn from each other, develop courses together and discuss AI literacy tools.    In this conversation, Stacey talks with Michael about her early love of libraries. Her first job was working in a public library during high school where she filed catalog cards and got early exposure to IT being part of an automation project. She also talks about why, after she had earned her MLIS, she made the decision to move away from public libraries to an academic library at the University of Kentucky, where she began teaching as a liaison librarian almost 25 years ago, teaching her colleagues how to use office productivity tools and various website building tools, and creating online tutorials. Stacey decided to go back to school and earned a PhD in instructional systems design. She provides hands-on learning tools, materials and guidance for students and faculty, helping them critically evaluate information to gain the skills they need to be successful.   The video of this interview can be found here: https://youtu.be/nU02W1jm3O4 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mupshall/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/staceygreenwell/ Keyword #LibraryScience #LibraryLeadership #LibraryInnovation #PracticalLibrarianship #Library Resources #InformationLiteracy #LibraryInstruction #LibraryCollaboration #CriticalThinking #InformationProfessionals #AcademicLibraries #LearningResources #EdTechTools #career #scholcomm #ScholarlyCommunication #libraries #librarianship #LibraryNeeds #LibraryLove #ScholarlyPublishing #AcademicPublishing #publishing #LibrariesAndPublishers #podcasts

Lucy Greenwell remembered a story from her childhood: in 1987, a newborn was abandoned off a country road near her home in Suffolk. Now a journalist, Greenwell tracked down Jess, who grew up wondering how she came to be a foundling. Jess eventually reached out to the young nanny who miraculously discovered her in a secluded field. As her suspicions about Jennifer grew, Jess would learn more about her rescuer's life. Meanwhile, Greenwell investigated whether a live-in nanny in this town could conceal her pregnancy and delivery, and discard a baby undetected. In the end, Jess understood that, all these years later, the impact of her abandonment rippled far beyond her own origin story.   From Tortoise Investigates and The Observer comes the podcast “Foundling.” Greenwell follows Jess's quest to learn the truth about her birth, her parents, and the impact that her search had on the many people unknowingly connected to her.

In the latest episode of the AGD Podcast Series, Darren Greenwell, DMD, MAGD, and AGD Podcast Series host George Schmidt, DMD, FAGD, talk about AGD legislative priorities and role in advocacy and share details about AGD's upcoming Hill Day. Each day, dentists navigate complex challenges—rising student debt, insurance pressures, workforce shortages, and evolving regulations. Advocacy ensures those challenges are understood. They explain that advocacy is also a long-term commitment. Dr. Greenwell is a general dentist from Kentucky and the chair of the AGD Legislative and Government Affairs Council. He served twice in the military, including the U.S. Navy as a hospital corpsman, and later in the U.S. Air Force, where he completed an Advanced General Dentistry residency. Between both of those posts, he completed my undergraduate degree and then went on to graduate from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. Following his second stint in the military, he returned home to Kentucky and started a private practice. Dr. Greenwell is past president of the Kentucky Academy of General Dentistry, past president of the Louisville Dental Society, and past president of the Kentucky Dental Association. Also, Dr. Greenwell is Chair of the Donated Dental Services of Kentucky.

In dieser Folge geht es nicht um maximalen Muskelaufbau, sondern um maximalen Kraftaufbau. Wir klären, warum stärker werden und muskulöser werden nicht dasselbe sind, welche neuronalen und strukturellen Faktoren unsere Kraft bestimmen und wie effektives Krafttraining in der Praxis aussieht. Mit Blick auf Last, Wiederholungen, Frequenz, Satzpausen, ROM und Technik ordnen wir die aktuelle Evidenz so ein, dass du direkt etwas für dein eigenes Training mitnehmen kannst. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dominiks Buch zur pflanzenbasierten Sporternährung im UTB-Verlag: https://www.utb.de/doi/book/10.36198/9783838560328 Dominiks Gesundheitscommunity: www.gsundes-hannover.de Dominiks Online-Knie-Kurs: https://gsundes-hannover.de/knieschmerzen/ Dominiks Online-Rücken-Kurs: https://copecart.com/products/34bd5abb/checkout Marcs veganes Online-Fitness-Coaching: https://vegainer-academy.com/ Marcs Online-Kurs: https://www.copecart.com/products/a50f88f2/checkout ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieser Podcast wird unterstützt von der Firma Watson Nutrition.

We want to hear from our fellow bowfishers! Shoot us a text!The man behind G-Rex Bows joins the Buzz.This week on the Bowfishing Buzz, Mathew and D-Schmidty sit down with Joey Greenwell — the builder, machinist, and bowfishing junkie who turned a crowded basement shop into one of the most respected lever-bow operations in the game.We rewind the tape to Joey's early bowfishing days, talk about squeezing machines into a basement workspace, cutting down walls to make room for more lathes, and what it really takes to quit your job and chase the American dream in manufacturing. From humble beginnings to the partnership with MegaMouth Bowfishing, this one's about grit, growth, and building bows that flat-out perform.We also break down big changes to the 2026 AMS Big 20 Challenge:First place adjusted from $10,000 to $7,500 to spread payouts deeperBuffalo limit reduced from 10 to 5 to tighten up weights and increase competition What does it mean for strategy? For teams chasing checks? We dig into it.Then things get… uncomfortable.Mathew shares his now-infamous Oklahoma City “Bubble Gut” incident — featuring a desperate sprint, an Omni hotel lobby restroom, and the worst possible toilet paper scenario. Yes. It's as bad as it sounds.Kranky the Carp calls in with underwater intel. We relive the heartbreak of the Big Fish That Got Away. And of course… it wouldn't be complete without Fish You Wish — where the fish gets bigger, the stories get wilder, and someone's definitely stretching the truth. From basement builds to bathroom battles… this one's loaded.

fWotD Episode 3148: Poisoning of Abbot Greenwell Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 17 December 2025, is Poisoning of Abbot Greenwell.Around June 1447, the abbot of Fountains Abbey, in Yorkshire, Northern England, John Greenwell, was poisoned by a monk, William Downom (also Downam). By the 15th century, Fountains was the richest abbey in England, and its abbot was an important figure in local political society. The first half of the century saw it wracked with internal strife, including a disputed election which had violent repercussions and, possibly, embezzlement. Greenwell appears to have brought a degree of peace to the abbey upon his election, but he does not seem to have been popular.Downom poisoned a dish of pottage, which he then attempted to feed the abbot while the latter was sick. Greenwell survived, and the case became notorious. Although it took over a year and discussions with Fountains' motherhouse of Cîteaux Abbey, Downom—who may already have been an apostate—was eventually expelled. Greenwell himself remained controversial and was both accused and accuser in local lawsuits, and later incurred the distrust of King Edward IV for his political leanings. Greenwell eventually resigned in 1471; Downom stayed a monk after being expelled from Fountains and may have joined Kirkstead Abbey in Lincolnshire, following which he disappears from the record.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:20 UTC on Wednesday, 17 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Poisoning of Abbot Greenwell on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joanna.

Did you know that private equity firms have a hand in many U.S. industries, including hospitals, daycare centers, supermarket chains, local newspapers, and prison service providers? They also manage highways, municipal water systems, fire departments, emergency medical services, and a growing swath of real estate. In her new book, Bad Company, journalist Megan Greenwell illuminates how ingrained private equity is, and how it's preying on the most vulnerable people in our society, controlling congress, and causing destruction in communities around the country. Private equity is a system of finance that pools money from outside investors and huge bank loans to acquire companies that hold a lot of debt. The company retains their debt, which makes it difficult for the company to recover and protects the investors from those debts. This might sound like a lot of finance jargon, but Greenwell wants to show how this industry is affecting all of our lives. Entire communities are ruined as a result of their buyouts. Workers lose their jobs. Communities lose their institutions. Only private equity wins, Greenwell argues. Greenwell shares personal experiences of four workers and how private equity upended their employers and communities: a Toys R Us floor supervisor, a rural doctor, a local newspaper journalist, and an affordable housing organizer. Throughout these stories, Greenwell highlights how private equity executives are among the wealthiest people in the United States and are reshaping the economy, disrupting communities, and hollowing out the very idea of the American dream.

This week welcome Stacie Greenwell into the Pol' Atteu Beverly Hills Boutique. Hollywood may be built on stories, but few are as fiercely fabulous and unexpectedly heartfelt as hers. In our dazzling “Undressed” sit-down, we welcome the award-nominated scene-stealer whose breakout line “F*ck the police” from Amazon Prime Video's Cross had fans gagged—and law enforcement shook! Kicking things off with signature sass, we roll out the red carpet for Stacie (yes, in green!) and dive into her seriously stacked resume—from Shameless to Sharp Objects with Amy Adams, to Big Little Lies with Reese Witherspoon and The Pit (hello, twisted testicles!). She spills all about being handpicked by the late, legendary director Jean-Marc Vallée, who kept sliding her into emotional scenes because he saw something extraordinary in her. Spoiler alert: he was right. But the real plot twist? Before stealing scenes on screen, Stacie was slaying in the courtroom. A University of Virginia Law grad and former Washington D.C. bankruptcy attorney, she recounts the life-changing moment in a law library when a voice whispered, “This is not your life.” One mock trial and a wig later, she was hooked on performance—and Broadway, baby! We insist she got off the bus and landed on a billboard. Honestly? Not far from the truth. As the convo heats up, on our Gown and Out in Beverly Hills connections to Modern Family, and bond with Stacie over shared Emmy hopes. (She was submitted for not one but TWO categories: Guest Actress in The Pit and Supporting Actress in Cross—yes, queens manifest!) We even get some juicy Jeff Bezos wedding FOMO, throwbacks to our Emmys encounter, and why Beverly Hills PD officers are hotter than hot. (Six-packs and skincare routines? Sign us up.) The glamour hits a cosmic high with Pol's Armenian coffee reading, which brings chills and truth bombs. An "E" appears in Stacie's cup—revealing Cousin Erica as her spiritual anchor and greatest supporter. The reading also uncovers her desire to write—a second calling that's destined to unlock a whole new dimension of her career. Whether it's a memoir, screenplay, or her own pilot, the universe is saying: the pen is your power, girl. ✍️ This episode is brimming with soul, sparkle, and major laughs—from nipping dogs and self-tape disasters to iconic moments with Martha Stewart, Katie Couric, and Judge Lauren Lake (yes, the singing judge!). It's a masterclass in intuition, reinvention, and letting your spirit lead you from the courtroom to the soundstage.

Ever wonder what happens when people with zero medical training start buying up hospitals and clinics? This week, we're joined by journalist Megan Greenwell, who's spent years investigating the chilling spread of private equity in healthcare. We talk about what it means when medicine becomes a business, the moments that made her jaw drop during reporting, and why she thinks doctors and patients are both trapped in a system that no longer works for either of them. This one hits hard. Takeaways: How private equity is quietly reshaping American healthcare. What it's like to investigate medicine from the outside. The subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways profit motives impact care. Why many doctors are afraid to speak out—and who's filling that silence. What Megan Greenwell uncovered that even shocked physicians. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Private equity has become one of the most powerful — and least understood — forces in the American economy. In recent decades, firms have taken over everything from retail chains to hospitals to housing — often with little risk to themselves and with real consequences for workers and communities. In her new book, Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream, journalist Megan Greenwell breaks down how this industry is quietly reshaping American life. Greenwell sat down with Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu to share the stories of people pushing back against these entities to protect their jobs, their families, and their homes.

Philip welcomes journalist/author Megan Greenwell to discuss her book Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream. In their conversation, they explore how private equity has effected almost every facet of American industry and what have been the implications of the financialization of whole economies. The Drop – The segment of the show where Philip and his guest share tasty morsels of intellectual goodness and creative musings. Philip's Drop: Killers of The Dream – Lillian Smith (https://wwnorton.com/books/Killers-of-the-Dream/) Megan's Drop: There is No Place for Us – Bryan Goldstone (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/645871/there-is-no-place-for-us-by-brian-goldstone/)

It all began in 2019 at DeadSpin where Megan Greenwell was editor-in-chief. She had her dream job at the sports publication she'd always loved, leading a profitable digital media company with a devoted readership. Then the curse of private equity arrived. Within three months, everything collapsed. As Greenwell argues in her new book, Bad Company, she was pushed out, her entire staff followed, and the site was eventually sold to a Maltese gambling operation. What should have been a routine business acquisition became a personal awakening. Greenwell realized she'd witnessed something much larger than corporate mismanagement—she'd seen how private equity is producing avampire economy sucking the blood out of the American Dream. five takeaways1. Private Equity Violates Free Market Principles Greenwell argues that PE actually corrupts capitalism rather than representing it—citing Milton Friedman's own exceptions for public services like healthcare and education, which are now PE's biggest targets.2. The Debt Transfer Loophole Creates Perverse Incentives In leveraged buyouts, PE firms load companies with 70-80% debt but transfer responsibility to the acquired company, allowing firms to profit even when businesses fail—as happened with Toys"R"Us.3. Workers Rarely Know PE Owns Their Employer Until It's Too Late Most employees discover private equity ownership only when everything falls apart, because the company name on their paycheck remains the same while control shifts to financial engineers.4. The Vampire Effect Goes Beyond Individual Companies PE isn't just killing businesses—it's hollowing out entire communities, from rural hospitals in Wyoming to local newspapers, destroying the infrastructure that sustains small American towns.5. Solutions Exist at State and Local Levels While federal regulation remains unlikely, progress is happening through state laws (like Massachusetts healthcare regulations), pension fund pressure campaigns, and nonprofit alternatives that prioritize sustainability over shareholder value.Megan Greenwell is an American journalist, editor, and writer with extensive experience across print and digital media.

Their personal RVing experience, especially with boondocking and long-distance travel for ultra-marathons, gives them unique insight into how different rigs function in real-life situations.

On today's episode, we meet a Texas-born couple who started RVing several years ago and opted to get training to become certified RV inspectors. Bobby Greenwell and Jessica Martin started their journey into the RV lifestyle like many others – with a desire for freedom, adventure and more quality time together. After spending nearly two years full-time RVing in a fifth wheel, they transitioned to part-time travel in a Class A motorhome. But along the way, they made some rookie mistakes that ultimately led them to a new calling: becoming RV inspectors. Today, Bobby and Jessica operate Double Diamond RV Inspections out of southern Illinois where they use their hard-earned experience to help others avoid the same pitfalls and make smarter RV buying decisions. The couple didn't set out to become RV inspectors. It just happened naturally. After buying and selling multiple rigs, they realized how easy it was to overlook critical details when emotion gets involved in an RV purchase. A simple online search led Bobby to the National RV Training Academy Their business, Double Diamond RV Inspections, was born shortly after he completed the inspector certification in fall of 2023. Today, Bobby handles the technical side of the inspections while Jessica manages the logistics and marketing. Together, they bring a personal, compassionate approach to every inspection, knowing firsthand the importance of getting it right. Their business primarily serves a five-state area – Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee. They’ve found a strong niche in a region where RV inspectors are scarce, and they've even built relationships with nearby competitors to promote mutual support. Their personal RVing experience, especially with boondocking and long-distance travel for ultra-marathons, gives them unique insight into how different rigs function in real-life situations. That background, combined with Bobby's technical expertise from a prior career in network engineering, ensures clients receive thorough, honest, and detail-rich inspection reports. Jessica and Bobby named their business “Double Diamond” as a nod to both their partnership and their rustic, farmhouse style. Although only Bobby is a certified inspector, they work as a true team, just as they have for the past 25 years of marriage. To learn more about their business, visit www.doublediamondrvi.com, or find them on LinkedIn and Facebook by searching for Double Diamond RV Inspections. Whether you're new to RVing or a seasoned traveler, their story is a great reminder that, sometimes, the best opportunities arise from the lessons learned on the road.

The Child Gaze: Narrating Resistance in American Literature (UP of Mississippi, 2024) theorizes the child gaze as a narrative strategy for social critique in twentieth- and twenty-first-century US literature for children and adults. Through a range of texts, including James Baldwin's Little Man, Little Man, Mildred D. Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, Gene Luen Yang's American Born Chinese, and more, Amanda M. Greenwell focuses on children and their literal acts of looking. Detailing how these acts of looking direct the reader, she posits that the sightlines of children serve as signals to renegotiate hegemonic ideologies of race, ethnicity, creed, class, and gender. In her analysis, Greenwell shows how acts of looking constitute a flexible and effective narrative strategy, capable of operating across multiple points of view, focalizations, audiences, and forms. Weaving together scholarship on the US child, visual culture studies, narrative theory, and other critical traditions, The Child Gaze explores the ways in which child acts of looking compel readers to look at and with a child character, whose gaze encourages critiques of privileged visions of national identity. Chapters investigate how child acts of looking allow texts to redraw circles of inclusion around the locus of the child gaze and mobilize childhood as a site of resistance. The powerful child gaze can thus disrupt dominant scripts of power, widening the lens through which belonging in the US can be understood. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why should you care about private equity? It is affecting all of us in the U.S., even if we don't realize it. Private equity money promises to invest in a growing list of our workplaces, often to sell them off for parts. Journalist Megan Greenwell knows this experience all too well as the former editor-in-chief of Deadspin, the acclaimed sports website that experienced private equity's familiar slash-and-burn cycle. And the cycle doesn't stop with our livelihoods, Greenwell writes in her forthcoming book, Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream. Our lives—our hospitals, our housing, our food, and our water—are increasingly under the control of private equity. This week, Greenwell joins Katelyn and Christine to define the problem that spans presidencies and propose solutions that will outlast the ever-tightening broligarchy.

In the latest novel from author Garth Greenwell, a poet's life is upended when he is struck suddenly by serious and intense pain. Greenwell joins us to discuss Small Rain.

Eric Newman speaks with Garth Greenwell about his latest novel, Small Rain. The novel picks up the story of the same unnamed narrator from Greenwell's earlier novels, What Belongs to You and Cleanness, a poet and teacher now in his forties and settled down with his partner in the Midwest. Their placid life is upended when a sudden and excruciating pain sends the narrator to the hospital, where he's diagnosed with an aortic tear -- a life-threatening condition. Unfolding from this point, the novel explores how the narrator navigates his recovery as he's treated in a cramped hospital room in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic. Dilating on the power of art and intimacy to buoy us up in moments of extreme suffering, as well as the moments in which suffering overwhelms the transcendent capacity of art, Small Rain reckons with how we make our way through the agonies and ecstasies, unique and mundane, of life itself. Also, Sofia Samatar, author of Opacities, returns to recommend two books by Fleur Jaeggy, Sweet Days of Discipline and These Possible Lives.
