Matty Dalrymple talks with John Gaspard about WRITING FOR PASSION, NOT PLATFORMS, including why he chose to write a passion project instead of a market-driven book, how research into HAROLD AND MAUDE AT THE WESTGATE THEATER  turned into a richly visual history, what indie authors can learn about marketing from a cult film's unlikely success, and why creating the book only you can write may be the most rewarding path of all.   Interview video at https://bit.ly/TIAPYTPlaylist Show notes at https://www.theindyauthor.com/episodes-all   If you find the information in this video useful, please consider supporting The Indy Author! https://www.patreon.com/theindyauthor https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mattydalrymple   John is author of the Eli Marks mystery series and the Como Lake Players mystery series.

In real life, John's not a magician, but he has directed six low-budget features that cost very little and made even less - that's no small trick. He's also written multiple books on the subject of low-budget filmmaking. Ironically, those books made more than the films. John lives in Minnesota and shares his home with his lovely wife, several greyhounds, a few cats and a handful of pet allergies.   Matty Dalrymple is the author of the Lizzy Ballard Thrillers, beginning with ROCK PAPER SCISSORS; the Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels, beginning with THE SENSE OF DEATH; and the Ann Kinnear Suspense Shorts.

She has written books on the business of short fiction and podcasting for authors; her articles have appeared in "Writer's Digest" magazine. She serves as the Campaigns Manager for the Alliance of Independent Authors.

Around this time every year, dozens of parents of high school prospects ask IL's Terry Foy some version of the question, "How does recruiting work?" In an effort to round out that answer, he's interviewing a series of DI men's lacrosse coaches about their process, continuing with Loyola head coach Charley Toomey. Returning to his alma mater, this is a unique conversation given Foy has known Toomey longer than any other college coach (aside from Greyhound assistant Matt Dwan, who he met at the same time). As a result, they chart the evolution of the Greyhounds' recruiting over the last 20 years, from how they built the 2012 NCAA champion team to how building a stadium and joining the Patriot League changed their fortunes. From landing Pat Spencer to how the end of early recruiting impacted their ability to find diamonds in the rough. And from how opting out and the arrival of alum Justin Ward as offensive coordinator seem to be impacting things going forward.

This week the COWboys are talking about conversation enders. Along with some fun and lively conversation on the topic, you''ll also hear some great music from R.W. Hampton (Drifitn' Again), Sons of the San Joaquin (Sierra Nevada), Prickly Pair (Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens), and Stephanie Davis (Wolves). There is also some great cowboy poetry this week from ​R.P. Smith (Jugs). We'll have the ever popular Dick's Pick (Thank God and Greyhound), Cowpoke Poetry, and a whole bunch of goofin' off too!

The Quarter-Finals of the Irish Greyhound Derby are upon us. Ian Fortune and Paul Lawrence take you through the four heats on Saturday.

Have you ever wondered about what goes on at your local community theatre? Or have you, yourself, participated in community theatre and wished someone covered it in a book? Today's guest of the podcast, Leah Hager Cohen, set out to do just that in her 2001 release "The Stuff of Dreams". This book covered a specific performance in a season of plays for her local community theatre, dubbed one of the oldest community theatres in the country.  Despite having many other fantastic releases since her '01 release, she's on the show today because 'The Stuff of Dreams' was a formative book for Joe during his youth and he had her on the show to discuss all things community and theatre. Please note: Unfortunately, there were some audio issues with Leah's Zoom connection and the quality is not up to the usual standards, we've cleaned it up the best we could but we hope you enjoy it nonetheless. We'll have Leah back again soon to continue this discussion! Enjoy! About Leah Hager Cohen Leah Hager Cohen was born in Manhattan and raised at Lexington School for the Deaf in Queens (where her parents worked) and later in Nyack, New York. As a kid, she spent summers at Camp Kinderland, stiltdanced with the Bread and Puppet Theater, ran a follow spot at Elmwood Playhouse, and shelved books at Nyack Library. At age 16, Leah enrolled as a drama student at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, then transferred to Hampshire College a year later to study writing. She joined an arts brigade in Nicaragua, worked as a nanny in Berkeley, rode a Greyhound bus across the country, and freelanced as an ASL interpreter in NYC before attending Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. The best praise she ever received came in a letter of recommendation by Edmund W. Gordon, her first boss after college: “She is impatient with institutional stupidity.” Her favorite quote about writing comes from the poet Joseph O. Legaspi: “My first memory of poetry was watching the rain on my windowsill when I was young, and touching the windowpane.” Leah is the author of 7 novels, 5 nonfiction books, one pamphlet, and the blog Love As A Found Object, as well as various and sundry essays, articles and reviews. As of September 2025, she has gone back to school, enrolled in the Master of Social Work program at Simmons University. About 'The Stuff of Dreams' In this unique theatrical memoir, novelist Cohen chronicles the ups and downs of her suburban community theater's struggles over the staging of David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly. The project is fraught with problems—the Arlington, Mass., theater and its conservative supporters are reluctant to stage a play that deals daringly with sexuality and race; meanwhile, it proves quite difficult to find an Asian man to play the transgendered lead (who also has a nude scene)—but the show must and does go on. Cohen, who loves working in theater, is a keen observer who never hesitates to pinpoint the problems and personality clashes endemic to the process of putting on a play. While she provides useful background, from the history of her theater (begun in 1913) to the importance of community theater in the U.S., she is best at describing the endlessly delicate negotiations between the small but award-winning theater's director, actors, designers and stagehands. Cohen is respectful of everyone's opinions and methods as they face M. Butterfly's considerable challenges to the theater's conventional approach to staging a production and moves us assuredly through her characters' process of political and artistic discovery. While never deeply probing the myriad social issues it raises, Cohen's backstage drama does give us a miniature yet nuanced glimpse into a world rarely explored.   Make sure to check out the Dtalkspodcast.com website!

The Beauty and the Hell of It and Other Stories (Guernica, 2025) conjures up images of women who struggle through difficult transitions, unpleasant encounters, or ghastly boyfriends and husbands. One woman is a lesbian who sees the man who raped her a decade before, another suffers from bipolar disease, and a third is harassed by her professor. Some of them are grieving and others want vindication but few of them are living the lives they'd imagined. And then there's Liam, who is devastated by his young son's death, and who'd always loved the daughter of one of his father's wives. These are beautifully written, sensitive stories about a range of human reactions to the harsh realities of life and death. Lynda Williams is a freelance copyeditor and short fiction writer based in Calgary, Alberta. Her stories have appeared in Grain, The Humber Literary Review, and The New Quarterly, among others. Her literary influences include Raymond Carver, Pam Houston, and Lorrie Moore. Born and raised on a dairy farm in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Lynda arrived in Calgary after a 40-hour trip on a Greyhound bus, after which she took the best shower of her life. She has called Alberta home ever since. When she's not writing, Lynda can be found experimenting with gluten-free baking and bingeing New Girl on one of many streaming services. She has been married to her partner in crime for 12 years, and they share their home (and food) with the world's most adorable mini–Australian Shepherd, Cooper.

Episode 51: Recorded July 13, 2025 "One of the things that really struck me...the car park was the most egalitarian place in all of England..." Harry Jennings on the "great leveler" of the Waterloo Cup Show Notes Many first-time Greyhound adopters will tell you that they didn't grow up with Greyhounds as kids. Their interest in the breed started with a meet-and-greet at a local rehoming event, or they had a friend or relative that had adopted a Greyhound. Harry Jennings didn't grow up with Greyhounds either, but he did become interested in them in quite a peculiar way. He discovered the breed in graduate school while thumbing through medieval French literature manuscripts about coursing. Harry's first Greyhound — Charlie — actually belonged to his housemate, Lauren, but it was his gateway Greyhound into the vast and varied world of the breed. Charlie had an Australian pedigree, having raced in Florida and been adopted out of the Philadelphia area. Harry and Charlie took to the road to try out lure coursing in 1992. By 1993, Charlie was the number one Greyhound in ASFA lure coursing. The making of the Jennings Greyhound man continued with ownership of American racing Greyhounds and a visit to the Waterloo Cup in England in 1999. There, he crossed paths with this show's host, John Parker, and together they experienced the premier coursing event in the world at the time. There on the field, the  two “Yanks” and a few other American friends found themselves before the microphone of English television presenter Clarissa Dickson Wright as part of her Clarissa and the Countryman series. In this episode, host John Parker explores this unconventional making of a Greyhound man -- Harry Jennings -- one who immersed himself in all things Greyhound-related over three decades. Harry shares his thoughts on training and conditioning for lure coursing; navigating the ins and outs of Greyhound racing organizations in the United States and England; and remotely participating in the sport of Greyhound racing through the syndicate model.

This week, I spoke with the Irish-Canadian author Joanna Pocock, whose new memoir, Greyhound, absolutely blew me away. The story follows Joanna as she recounts two journeys – one from 2006, and one from 2023 – that she took across the United States of America. However, unlike the classic ‘roadtrip' novel, Joanna undertook the entirety of both journeys by Greyhound bus. What follows is an incredible portrait of a nation and its people: a feminist, ecological, anti-capitalist, profoundly humanist elegy that left me desperate to buy a ticket and head for the open road.Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading!Joanna's four books were:Bear, Marian Engel (1976)Silent Spring, Rachel Carsen (1962)Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place, Terry Tempest Williams (1991)America Day by Day, Simone de Beauvoir (1948)

One of the best known faces in Tasmania's greyhound industry says the current move to end the sport in the state is purely political, and people involved in the industry will fight hard to stop any proposed ban.

Sam Leith's guest for this week's Book Club podcast is Joanna Pocock, whose new book Greyhound  describes two trips she took across America by Greyhound bus in 2006 and 2023. They talk about the literature of the road, that distinctively American and usually distinctively male genre, and the meaning of travel – and Joanna tells Sam how the America you see from a Greyhound differs from the one you see on television; and how dramatically it has changed even over the last couple of decades.

Today on the show…  - The Greyhound racing industry says Winston Peters decision to wind it down and ban all races from July next year is the wrong one. It was rushed and done without proper consultation.  - Tonight we will speak to a supporter of the industry and the owner of rehomed greyhounds. He says the industry has been treated poorly, and crucial facts which show the industry has cleaned itself up have been ignored.  - And it's becoming clear the industry is also being blocked, muzzled and cancelled by the media. Tonight I will reveal that the Christchurch Press refused to run an open letter from Greyhound Racing NZ as part of an advertising feature they wanted to buy.  Website: https://www.rova.nz/home/podcasts/duncan-garner---editor-in-chief Instagram: @DuncanGarnerpodcast  TikTok: @DuncanGarnerpodcast 02:15 - Slam Dunc 07:04 - INTERVIEW: Tom Rickards Learn more about your ad choices.

A desperate attempt to salvage a dying industry is how one animal welfare group has described a competition where a racing greyhound is the prize. Another said it raises serious ethical issues. Greyhound NZ has been offering part shares in a racing dog as a prize in a competition where entrants have to say why they oppose a ban on the sport. Both Safe and the SPCA have raised concerns about the competition. GRNZ board member and Greyhound trainer Craig Roberts spoke to Lisa Owen.

Did you know that a major part of the American transit system as we know it got started on the Iron Range in Minnesota? The Greyhound Bus Museum in Hibbing, Minn., tells the story of how the bus line began more than 110 years ago, toting miners from town to town in northern Minnesota. Ron Dicklich has a long history of his own capturing and telling the stories of the Greyhound bus. The volunteer director at the Greyhound Bus Museum and former state senator joined Minnesota Now to share more.

Get ready for a wild ride as we chat with Brett Swayn, a chef from Perth, Australia, whose life journey is anything but ordinary. You'll discover how his profound spiritual experiences included feeling God playfully call him "dummy" and being "absolutely smashed in the spirit." Hear about his less-than-glamorous arrival in Nashville via a Greyhound bus with a broken toilet, his ingenious method of using peeled 'loves' as earplugs in the mission, and why his ideal job involves "red boots and a cape." From getting hilariously lost on the way to Green Hills to surprising dignitaries with his famous fish tacos, Brett's story is a testament to faith, resilience, and a wonderfully weird sense of humor.

An update in the Government's plans to ban Greyhound racing, with the industry's lead organisation fronting in court next month. Racing Minister Winston Peters says they're considering laws to get the TAB to help pay to re-home ex-racing dogs. Greyhound Racing NZ CEO says there's all this talk about rehoming, but no question or consideration of support for their people and compensation for them. He says they have people who have invested thousands into upgrading their facilities. GRNZ is heading to court in hopes to overturn the ban, stating they have plans to improve the injury rates of racing dogs. Rennell told Mike Hosking they had an independent monitor who had been assessing their performance with injuries and had deemed it acceptable, and in many ways leading the racing industry in New Zealand. He says that they believe the process that has been adopted and the decision itself is manifestly wrong. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  In this special episode, I sat down with Peter Bissonnette—former President of Shaw Communications—to talk about his remarkable leadership journey and his upcoming book, Count on Me, launching July 18th. Peter's story is anything but conventional. From life in a monastery to serving in the Air Force, and ultimately leading one of Canada's most recognized telecommunications companies, his path to leadership is rooted in humility, adaptability, and service to others. Leadership Lessons from a Life Well-Lived Peter and I explored how his unique experiences shaped a grounded, people-first leadership style. Whether navigating high-stakes negotiations or union agreements, Peter emphasized that values like empathy, accountability, and active listening were key drivers of his success. His book Count on Me captures these moments and lessons, offering a compelling case study in transformational leadership. Shaw Communications: Embracing Change, Staying Human We reflected on Shaw's evolution—from its early days in cable to becoming a major player in internet and wireless services. Peter shared how strategic investments in infrastructure and top-tier talent enabled the company to stay ahead of technological shifts. He also highlighted how Shaw's unwavering commitment to employee well-being and customer experience helped it weather the pandemic's unprecedented challenges. It's a blueprint for change management done right—with heart. Culture as a Catalyst for Success Peter opened up about Shaw's intentional leadership culture, grounded in trust, care, and shared accountability. He described how these values created a sense of belonging and mutual respect across teams. I couldn't agree more—when employees feel supported, they deliver their best. That culture doesn't just drive business results; it builds loyalty and resilience. Why Count on Me Matters Now More Than Ever Peter spent three years writing Count on Me, a legacy project meant to inspire current and future leaders. The book explores the deeper purpose of leadership—how it's less about personal accolades and more about empowering others and leaving things better than you found them. If you care about leadership that lifts people up and strengthens communities, this book is a must-read.

Clare Greyhound Sanctuary is in crisis. After months of rising costs and falling donations, they've had to stop taking in new dogs, simply because they can't afford to care for them. With vet bills mounting and urgent repairs needed, the team has launched a GoFundMe, hoping to raise €5,000 to keep going.

Episode 50: Recorded May 24, 2025 "[The Virtual Coursing Museum] dovetails so nicely with some of the goals of our podcast..." John Parker, on the announcement of the Virtual Coursing Museum by the National Coursing Club in Great Britain Show Notes For the 50th episode of the Greyhound Nation podcast, we have the unique privilege of announcing the opening of the Virtual Coursing Museum by the National Coursing Club on June 24, 2025. The website is open to anyone interested in learning more about the sport of coursing and the Greyhound breed. It features video interviews, historic photographs, artwork, and more. It captures the rich history and heritage of coursing and the Greyhound in Great Britain. The museum is the brainchild of former Waterloo Cup chairman, David Midwood and historian and author, Charlie Blanning. In fact, the museum can be considered an extension of Charlie's The Greyhound and the Hare, published in 2018. Additionally, both David and Charlie felt an urgency to document and preserve the history of the sport, including photographs of trophies and memorabilia, anecdotes and interviews from its most famous characters, and a catalog of coursing- and Greyhound-related artwork. In this episode, host John Parker sits down with David and Charlie to talk about an idea that became reality -- the Virtual Coursing Museum. John explores the process by which the museum came to be, including all the work involved in cataloging its contents. David and Charlie also reminisce about some of the people most associated with the sport of coursing and Greyhounds in Great Britain, such as Sir Mark Prescott and the late Peter Sant.

In this special year-end edition of Navy Sports Central, we tackle this question by counting down the top 10 most memorable moments from the 2024-2025 Navy athletics season.The countdown features remarkable achievements across multiple sports, from squash and gymnastics to the ones that typically take center stage like football and lacrosse. We celebrate the dominance of men's cross country as they secured their fourth straight Patriot League title, while men's track & field picked up their eleventh consecutive championship. Equally impressive was the women's swimming team winning their 13th straight conference title through extraordinary depth, despite not having a single individual swimming champion.But rising above all these accomplishments is our #1 moment: the Navy women's lacrosse team shocking resident Patriot League bully and top seeded Loyola in overtime to capture their first conference championship since 2018.To explore this historic victory in depth, we're joined by special guest Cynthia Lisa ('00), who provides expert analysis on how the Mids managed to overcome a five-goal third quarter deficit against a Greyhound program that had never lost a regular season Patriot League game in their history (93-0). We spotlight freshman sensation Alyssa Chung's five-goal performance and Mikayla Williams' championship-winning shot in overtime, while paying tribute to legendary coach Cindy Timchal's sustained excellence over 43 seasons.Whether you're a die-hard Navy sports fan or simply appreciate stories of athletic achievement against the odds, this episode captures what makes following these remarkable student-athletes so rewarding.

One of our stories this morning featured a man who was stuck in a bathroom at a park in Connecticut...and it also happened to listener Don on a Greyhound bus!

On a Greyhound bus traveling through the open stretch of Manitoba in July 2008, 22-year-old Tim McLean sat quietly listening to music, unaware that the man who had just boarded would become his killer. Without warning, fellow passenger Vince Li pulled out a large knife and, in front of horrified passengers, stabbed Tim repeatedly in the neck before decapitating him and holding up his severed head for all to see. As passengers fled in terror and police surrounded the bus, Li remained inside, mutilating the body and consuming parts of it. The attack was as brutal as it was senseless—and what came next ignited nationwide outrage: Vince Li was found not criminally responsible due to mental illness and later granted absolute freedom. The fallout would challenge Canada's legal system, public safety policies, and the very definition of justice.
