Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Today I'm going to share with you one of my most popular pieces on Medium. If you don't know what Medium is, it's a place where writers can get their short pieces published, either by themselves, or in someone else's publication. I started getting published on Medium in April, mostly in two publications which feature interesting stories and great writing. This story appeared in a publication called The Narrative Arc, and it's called Grumpy Stranger? Angry Colleague? Don't Take It Personally! It's not about you Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textThis week we're looking back at those amazing stores, venues and restaurants that we thought would never go away but now somehow have simply turned into T-Mobile stores. While we suckle at the teet of Amazon now, some of remember going shopping, playing in arcades and eating at 6000 calorie steak buffets.If you ever played Frogger for an hour on one quarter, shot a 178 at the local putt putt, or gagged on Showbiz pizza, this one should be right up your alley.
Adam Peacock is joined by you and Sam Ferris to preview the final Test between India and England. Gautam Gambhir was unhappy with the Surrey groundsman, Nathan Lyon has backed India, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant are out and we look at outcomes and reactions if England can't win the last Test. We then welcome Nathan McSweeney, fresh off a successful Australia A tour ahead of an exciting summer of cricket. Where does he want to bat? What does he think about the upcoming “Bat‑Off”? And can South Australia build a dynasty? Plus, we look at Australia’s T20 squad for the South Africa series and in Sundries, John Hastings bowled 12 wides in an over...

I remember watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on VHS with my parents when I was very young. That memory is still fresh. The soft hum of the tape rewinding, the old Disney clamshell case with the artwork, and the joy of seeing the dwarfs move across the screen—it all left a mark. This postcard brings that moment rushing back, showing one of the most cheerful and well-loved scenes in the movie: Snow White dancing while the dwarfs play music around her. Even today, it's easy to recognize the details. You can see the wooden cottage, the carved furniture, and the happy expressions on the characters. Dopey is front and center, his oversized sleeves dangling while he claps. Grumpy is off to the side, reluctant as always, but still involved. Each dwarf has their place, and you can almost hear the music just by looking at the image. That was the magic of the original movie—every scene was filled with color, personality, and life...

One Grumpy Strategist talks with Beaten Zone Ventures boss Steve Baxter. They set out Steve's journey from the Army to business success in the tech world, to now running an outfit all about investing in smart Australian companies making the best defence tech on the planet - for everyone but Australia....Changing that could be as simple - but big - as adopting the Ukrainian military's almost gamified 'Brave1' model - a market-based program that has soldiers using an online shop and tokens earned by destroying particular Russian systems. Delegation, empowerment and speed brings results.
This week, we're calling out Complex's Top 50 L.A. Rappers list…why is it so TRASH
I'm always amazed at how much credence the United Nations is given in domestic New Zealand politics. The left loves the UN pronouncements on New Zealand's stances because if reinforces their view that we've got much to feel guilty about. Meanwhile the right somehow believes that the UN can supersede our sovereignty and is an enemy to be repelled at all costs. But the UN is actually an ineffectual bureaucracy. A giant global virtue signaller judging its signatories to an idealistic standard that is often unachievable in the modern world. There's nothing wrong with the UN writing these reports because it might be nice to live in a world full of unicorns, but they're just words and often have little deep context. David Seymour obviously took offence at one such report and in a fit of pique late one night, drunk on the power of being Deputy Prime Minister, fired off an angry letter signed Grumpy of Epsom. That's obviously not his job, and it's right that he's been told off about it. And that's about that. It's caused a minor tiff amongst the coalition partners because of process and pecking order, but it's not the major crack in the coalition that some claim. And don't worry about so called international embarrassment because the world has a lot more to be embarrassed and worried about rather than some little report by an arm of the UN that criticises one piece of legislation in a very small country globally. So, chill out about the UN. They're not the boss of us. They're not the boss of anyone. That's their biggest problem in getting anything tangible done.

Send us a textWe can all agree that music is generally getting worse, but the technology used to bring it to us is better than ever. Only it isn't. In this episode, the gang looks back at the wonderful ways we got our music. From scratchy AM/FM radios to glorious vinyl. From bulky cassettes to green sharpie'd CDs. Ultimately leading to the cold, soulless streaming services that murdered it all. We have not come to bury our 8-tracks, but to honor them. Even better, this time we get mega vinyl collector @aron_gagliardo to sit in with us to help us sound slightly educated for once.

A good night's sleep makes a big difference to our mental and physical health. Without quality sleep, we're less productive. Grumpy. It can even affect our hearts. Meanwhile, more and more people are having problems falling and staying asleep, including kids. So some parents are turning to a supplement called melatonin as a potential solution. But some experts worry that there isn't enough research about how regularly taking melatonin affects kids in the long term. Today on the show, we explore the research with Michael Schulson, who recently wrote about the topic for Undark. Want to hear more stories about human health?
