Podcast appearances and mentions of Harper Lee

Here are techniques for keeping focus in a scene where there is a crowd, with an example from Harper Lee.  And how Margaret Mitchell worked.  Plus: how can we show rather than tell about a character's guilt or pride.Support the show

#261: Im Gerichtssaal von Alexander City, Alabama, steht im Sommer 1977 ein Mann wegen Mordes vor Gericht. Während einer Beerdigung hat er dem berühmten Reverend Willie Maxwell vor den Augen der gesamten Gemeinde dreimal in den Kopf geschossen. Jetzt wird er vom besten Anwalt der Stadt verteidigt – ausgerechnet dem Erzfeind des Staatsanwalts. In der letzten Reihe des Saals verfolgt eine Frau den Prozess. Vor 20 Jahren hätte sie jeder erkannt. Damals war sie eine der erfolgreichsten Schriftstellerinnen des Landes. Vom Publikum unbemerkt macht sie Notizen für ihr neues True-Crime-Buch. Den Titel hat sie schon: “Der Reverend”. Reverend Willie Maxwell wurde von vielen Menschen geliebt und für sein Charisma verehrt. Doch manche fürchteten den Prediger. In seinem Leben haben sich so unfassbare Schicksalsschläge ereignet, dass viele überzeugt sind: Das kann kein Zufall sein, dahinter müssen höhere Mächte stecken. Aber die Schriftstellerin ist sich sicher, dass etwas anderes hinter all dem steckt. Eine Produktion von Auf Ex Productions.

Lata trzydzieste ubiegłego wieku. Amerykańskie południe, miasteczko Maycomb, w stanie Alabama. Czas Wielkiego Kryzysu i wciąż obowiązującej segregacji rasowej. W takich okolicznościach lokalny prawnik Atticus Finch broni oskarżonego o gwałt czarnoskórego chłopaka Toma Robinsona. Tak w skrócie można byłoby streścić fabułę powieści Zabić drozda autorstwa Harper Lee, nagrodzonej Pulitzerem w 1961 roku i sfilmowanej rok później. To klasyczny dramat sądowy jaki znamy chociażby z filmów Dwunastu gniewnych ludzi czy Sprawa Kramerów, a także opowieść o nierówności społecznej rodem z książek Korzenie Alexa Haleya czy Kolej podziemna Colsona Whiteheada.Fabuła powieści jest pretekstem do postawienia pytań fundamentalnych: Co to znaczy być odważnym?; Czym jest sumienie?; Kto jest moim bliźnim?; Jakie są źródła moralności? i w końcu Czy ludzie są z natury dobrzy czy źli?.O tym w dzisiejszym odcinku cyklu Dobrze się wierzy literaturą rozmawiają prof. Ryszard Koziołek i ojciec Roman Bielecki OP.  Przy okazji będą się spierali o szkolną edukację i niedoskonałości wymiaru sprawiedliwości, opowiedzą o swojej fascynacji westernami i tajemniczymi jeźdźcami przybywającymi znikąd, którzy przywracają porządek w małych społecznościach, a także przyglądać się będą niezwykłemu przedstawieniu Chrystusa w kościele garnizonowym w Katowicach, tak innemu od wizerunku przypominającego Miłosiernego i Dobrego Pasterza.

Buenas noches buenos días. A qué edad es uno demasiado mayor ya para aprender a tocar la guitarra. Cuándo es demasiado tarde para arrancarle unos acordes que emocionen de verdad a la gente. Por qué siempre es la misma canción la que resuena cuando le decimos adiós al mes de abril en curso, inolvidable, inasumible, imposible, que se nos escapa entre las manos. En la gira de despedida ‘Hola y adiós' del maestro Sabina no falta nunca este himno, tan nuestro, tan urbano y ramplón, ‘Quién me ha robado el mes de abril'. Roguemos al señor, te rogamos óyenos. El Criticón de La Cultureta Gran Reserva reflexiona esta semana con hondura sobre temas filosóficos como ése de abril y, además, se asoma a los 99 años del nacimiento de Harper Lee. Parece que fue ayer. Todos: “Atticus Finch, no soy digna de que entres en mi casa, pero una palabra tuyas bastarán para sanarme”. Oremos. Finalmente, en la recomendación de la semana, momento para la cuenta de TikTok @poetica2cero. Mil poemas nos esperan allá.

Justin and Dan start the show by looking back at the NFL Draft destinations for Auburn's three picks from this past weekend. They discuss why the Rams pulled the trigger on Jarquez Hunter, how KeAndre Lambert-Smith fell into a good situation with the Chargers and what the prospects might be for Jalen McLeod with the Jaguars. After that, they look ahead to the 2026 draft class, led by a ton of Keldric Faulk hype.Then the guys switch over to their state of the offense for 2025, headlined by Hugh Freeze tripling down on his style and his staff after a losing campaign. Justin makes a point about Jackson Arnold and where he could make a big impact for the Tigers in an area of need. Dan shares his thoughts on the running back situation and how this could be a step forward for the offensive line.This episode also includes a surprising amount of discussion on musicals and some inadvertent slander of an Alabama literary legend.

Harper Lee didn't betray Atticus Finch — she revealed the hard truth we didn't want to face. In this episode, we break the silence around Go Set a Watchman and reclaim the wisdom the world tried to cancel. Real justice demands hard truths, not empty slogans. Atticus knew it. We ignored it. Now we live with the consequences. Are you brave enough to hear the real message? "You can't fix the foundation by repainting the wall" "We traded hard truth for easy lies — and called it progress."

Harper Lee's classic southern coming-of-age is here to teach you about seeing outside of your little world. There are some characters whose names are synonymous with a character archetype. Atticus Finch is one of those names. -- Check out COST OF GLORY on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you podcast.

'Bad Hombre' de Pola Oloixarac (Random House) es una novela , podría ser un reportaje, pero se impone la ficción que no afecta a los hechos. Podemos darle muchas vueltas al género literario de este libro, pero lo que es seguro es que no va a pasar desapercibido. Pola no se corta y entra de lleno en las polémicas cancelaciones de hombres que tienen que ver más con sospechas que con hechos, con las condenas que no hace falta probar. Ella cree que este tipo de acciones hacen un flaco favor al feminismo. Sabe que su libro es provocador, pero no le importa. Ella narra historias que le han contado hombres y mujeres que son o fueron de su entorno o que se pusieron en contacto con ella. Es una novela con la que acabas discutiendo ¿Pero acaso no es bueno debatir? Seguro que sí. Además de su libro, Pola Oloixarac nos ha donado dos libros que cree que todo el mundo debe leer: 'El mundo deslumbrante' de Siri Husvedt (Seix Barral) y  'Pálido fuego' de Vladimir Nabokov (Anagrama) . Antes, Antonio Martínez Asensio, nuestro bibliotecario, nos trajo 4 libros relacionados con la actualidad: 'Sobre la tiranía: 20 lecciones que aprender del siglo XX " de Timothy Snyder (Galaxia Gutemberg),  'El valle de las flores' de Niviaq Korneliussen (Sexto Piso),  'Hojas de hierba' de Walt Whiman (Alianza) y 'Matar a un ruiseñor' de Harper Lee (Harper Collins). En el capítulo de novedades, Pepe Rubio trajo dos y un premio. Las dos novedades: 'Una vida ' de Alejandro Palomas (Destino) y 'Orbital' de Samantha Harvey (Anagrama). El premio, el Alfaguara 2025 que se acaba de fallar: 'Arderá el viento" de Guillermo Saccomano (Alfaguara). Del programa 'Un libro una hora' de Martínez Asensio nos quedamos con 'La flecha negra' de Robert Louis Stevenson (Alianza Editorial). Y finalmente los oyentes de Hoy por Hoy nos han donado 'El bosque animado' de Wenceslao Fernández Florez (Austral) y 'La verguenza' de Annie Ernaux (Cabaret Voltaire y Tusquets)

Hey there, hero!We're all on a pursuit. A pursuit of the performance arts career we want: acting, VO, writing and more.And we often look to those who have "made it" for guidance.How did they get success? Great question.But I think a better question would be about how they handled rejection. That skill can be really useful, as rejection is inevitable and is far more common than success.So let's give a listen to how Stephen King, Maya Angelou, Jack Canfield, Harper Lee and a few other superstar writers felt about, and handled, rejection.How to you react when you don't hear back after an audition or submission?

In 1977, a man named Robert Burns went to a funeral and shot someone, in the head, in front of 300 people. He didn't deny it, and his lawyer didn't deny it. Burns told a police officer: “I had to do it. And if I had to do it over, I'd do it again.” Casey Cep's book is The Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee.

Host a Podcast and Be a Podcast Guest!John Kremer: Every author should have a podcast. I still believe that. I've been promoting it for a long, long time.I still really believe that because I think podcasting is one of the most powerful tools you have for getting the word out about yourself.The neat thing in today's world, it's easy to create a combined audio-video podcast that you can syndicate on 40 or 50 platforms.Judith Briles: How many people come in and start a podcast with absolutely amazing intentions? Kind of like when people are going to do a blog and then within six months the blog is dead. Is there any stats on the startup for podcasts that start petering out?John Kremer: I don't know of any specific stats, but I do know from my own anecdotal experience that probably 80 or 90% of podcasters give up on their podcasts within six months. It becomes too much work. It's too hard. It's every week. But the thing is, you don't always have to do a podcast that's going to be a forever podcast. You could do a limited edition 10-episode podcast.Some of the most popular podcasts in the world are limited podcasts. They cover a true crime case, and then once you're done covering it, the podcast is done. But the podcast lives on in all the podcast syndication sites. It lives on in Audible. It lives on in Amazon. It lives on in lots of places.Judith Briles: Some of the news shows I'll pick up once in a while, they have both the ongoing, like in perpetuity, like ours has been, and we're seven years old now. But they also have limited edition episodes, almost like a serial book and then it's over. And then maybe they'll come back again when they have a new serial to start up.John Kremer: Even a limited podcast series still gives you the benefits of a podcast, especially the power of syndication.One of the incredibly powerful things about podcasts is that it puts you on 30, 40, or even 50 of the major websites on the Internet, including Apple, Amazon, Audible, Google Play, Spotify, Pandora, and more!You know the power of a podcast because you built up a listenership for your podcast, and you've had millions and millions of listens and possibly views because I know you also put it up on YouTube.Podcasts not only allow you to syndicate it to all these powerful websites, but it also gives you the opportunity to exchange views and podcast episodes with other podcasters.Ask key influencers and authors this question: I'd love to interview you for my podcast, but I would really like it if you would also interview me for your podcast. I think we have complimentary audiences that would like to hear both of us talk on each other's podcasts.The Book of the Month ClubJohn Kremer: I'm going to talk about the Book of the Month Club. Now, this isn't the old line Book of the Month Club, which died a sad death.Judith Briles: So, how do we create our own Book of the Month Club?John Kremer: I met somebody once at one of your seminars, and I'm still trying to track down his name now because I seem to have misplaced it in my move to Arizona.But he offered a book of the month club. He was a business speaker and consultant to corporations. What he did is he wrote 12 short books. I'm talking about short books, 96 to 128 pages, somewhere in there.Then whenever he'd go out and speak or whenever he attended a convention, whenever he met somebody that might be a potential client or customer or speaking agent, he added them to his book of the month club.Once a month, he mailed out real books to his prospect list, a list of about 500 potential customers. He kept adding people to the list as he spoke in different venues and met people on planes, in hotels, or at convention sites.His book of the month bluc not only justified him printing hundreds or thousands of copies of his books but it also impacted his speaking engagements and his corporate consultations.From a business standpoint, his book of the month club made perfect sense for him because he picked up all kinds of coaching clients, speaking engagements, and corporate programs that he would do.To be successful with such a club, first you have to write 12 books. And you can't produce junk. You have to produce real content worth reading, something that would showcase your experience and help to sell people on other products and services you have to offer.The neat thing is that at the end of every book, of course, he included a pitch for his coaching and his speaking and his corporate programs.His book of the month club was designed for a business audience. But the thing is, novelists, memoir writers, cookbook authors, and other writers could release five to 10 pages per week instead of releasing a book a month.One chapter per month, a recipe per week, something like that. They could email it out. Or they could podcast out episodes. They could even do YouTube videos.I just ran across an old friend of mine, Peggy Glenn, who's now doing videos under the name Grandma Potty Mouth where she shares fun recipes. She's a little spicy in her videos. They're entertaining and fun. She obviously enjoys it. And she actually got a book deal with a New York publisher to publish a cookbook.It wouldn't be that hard for any author, regardless of what kind of book they're writing, to offer a book of the month club or pages per week club or something like that.As you share, be sure to collect listener email address so you can email out the episodes or posts or videos to your list.It means that you don't have to invent new content for your email every week. You can simply be podcasting a book. Or email out a book a few pages at a time.The classic case of this is the novel, The Martian, which the author originally released as a series of blog posts. The story became so popular that Andy Weir ended up self-publishing his book before he got a contract offer from a major publisher to publish the book. Of course, it got made into a movie. He ended up making millions of dollars on what began as a simple blog.Judith Briles: Many authors sell their ebooks on Amazon, but they don't go any further.John Kremer: The neat thing is now with Amazon Kindle, you can do a paperback and a hardcover as well. And they actually encourage you to do those now. And an audio, an AI-generated audio that's actually not bad.Give Away Your BookJudith Briles: Yeah, it really can make a powerful difference to have different versions of your book.Authors are too often afraid to give away their book. I really think it's important to get rid of that mindset because I think in some ways giving away pieces of your book.John Kremer: For novelists, I recommend giving away your first book because I know you got three more books in you. I don't know any novelist other than Harper Lee and Margaret Mitchell that don't have a dozen novels in their heart and soul.One of the best ways to market the second novel is to give the first novel away.Offer the 1st Book in a Series to Sell the 2nd BookJudith Briles: Here's a little trick I found when I've been in bookstores. I have a historical fantasy fiction book called The Secret Journey. Book two is The Secret Hamlet and book three, The Secret Rise.When people meet you for the first time, they usually want to start with book one. If they like it, they'll come back to the trough. I typically tell a bookstore to order 20 to 25 copies of my book. I've learned to ask booksellers to order 20 to 25 of the 1st novel in a series and a dozen of the 2nd novel.In one instance, I asked readers, “How would you like to read book one for free if you buy book two?” That got their attention.So I said, “Do you ever read e-books? Are you on Amazon's Kindle? Let me sign book two for you and you can go up on Kindle Unlimited and download book one for free.” Within five minutes, I sold another five books of book two.Reach Out to InfluencersJohn Kremer: The first step to marketing your books is to reach out to influencers in your topic area.Judith Briles:; How do we find the influencers?John Kremer: It should be easy for you to find influencers in your topic area. If you don't know who they are, you're probably not writing on the right topic— because you should be a fan of that topic if you're writing in it.For example, I think it's terrible to write science fiction if you've never read science fiction. It's terrible to write a business book if you don't read business books.That's a crucial element in researching your audience, researching your topic, and making your book 10 times better.Work with Your CompetitorsJudith Briles: Many times I talk with authors and I ask them, who are their competitors? One author told me, “Well, I don't have any competitors.”I said, what BS? She just looked at me startled.That is total BS. We all have competitors. Ask yourself, what are the names of authors who are comparable to what you write? Or, who is competing for your services? Who is competing for your wisdom? Who's out there trying to get people to buy their books that have storylines in your genre? Those are your competitors.So I don't actually call them competitors. I call them friends or potential friends. And they can become friends, right?John Kremer: Back when I started out, Dan Poynter had written The Self-Publishing Manual. We partnered together, and he sold thousands of copies of my 1001 Ways to Market Your Books. And I sold thousands of copies of his self-publishing manual. I did the same for Tom and Marilyn Ross with their Complete Guide to Self-Publishing.I didn't see them as competitors at all. I saw them as people who were offering great content, and I could sell their content. So one of the first things you should do is ask your competitors is: “Can I sell your books?”Via the Amazon affiliate program, you can easily sell competitor or compatible books.You can also publish a catalog that you send out to customers when they order your books direct from you. That's how I created my first catalog. If you create a catalog to send out to customers who order your book direct from you, you can generate lots of extra orders. With my catalog, I ended up selling thousands of other authors' books that I stocked in-house.Potential competitors should be cooperating with each other. One of the best things that writers can do is work together with other people writing similar books to reach out to their audiences and expand each author's audience.The Audience as Super FansJudith Briles: You're talking about the audience as super fans. Who are these unique animals out there? Number one, they're mostly women, but they devour anything in the genre because they're always on the prowl looking for new things. So, why not create a cooperative collective of other authors like you?Or you can create a collection of related author books on Amazon and collect referral fees for encouraging such sales.Earlier when we were talking about the Book-of-the-Month Club, we both said we miss them because they were curating books. And there's still room for curators.John Kremer: I could see you doing a science fiction podcast that interviews your favorite SF authors and promotes their books. Any author can do that.When authors tell me that they can't think of anything to podcast about, I'm going, duh. All you have to do is interview people. Just interview your favorite authors.If you started interviewing a few famous authors, you can also start to become famous by associating and interviewing those celebrated authors. You start to become well-known. Their audience starts to seek you out because they say, wow, this person seems to know what they're talking about.Back in the day, I would have loved to interview Isaac Asimov or Jerry Pournelle or other science fiction authors. I went to a couple of world science fiction conventions and actually got to sit down with some authors and talk to them. In today's world you could easily go to the next world science fiction convention and record a whole year's worth of podcasts.And that's just the first half hour of the podcast.

Guest Christina Hough dives into the topic of neurodivergence in the legal field. The subject refers to how people learn and behave. We're all “neurodivergent” in that we are all different. The term covers everything from the autism spectrum to ADHD issues to our own individual quirks and how we interact, learn, and understand each other.  When it comes to neurodivergence, the legal system has a particular interest. It has been estimated about 12.5% of lawyers report having ADHD, attention deficit disorders, nearly triple the rate of the general population. And that's just the beginning. Law is a stressful profession, and many may not know they have a neurodivergence issue – issues that may only reveal themselves under extreme stress. That's why awareness is so important as we learn to account for our own differences and others' and make sure we are communicating with and understanding coworkers and even opposing counsel and witnesses. It all starts with being aware and giving thought to how the person across the desk processes information and communicates. As the great (fictional) attorney Atticus Finch taught us in “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view … until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” Mentioned in This Episode: San Diego Paralegal Association “Lawyers With ADHD: Understanding Neurodiversity in the Legal Profession,” JD Nation “Neurodivergence in Law: The Importance of Advanced Communication in Legal and Neutral Practice” from Will Work for Food with Christina Hough Christina Hough's Presentation “To Kill a Mockingbird Quote Analysis,” Bartleby NALA Conference & Expo 2025 NALA, The Paralegal Association Learn more about your ad choices.

Book Vs. Movie: To Kill a MockingbirdThe 1960 Novel Vs. the 1962 MovieThe 1962 film adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird, directed by Robert Mulligan, is a powerful retelling of Harper Lee's classic novel. The story follows Atticus Finch, played by Gregory Peck in an Oscar-winning performance, as he defends Tom Robinson (Brock Peters), a Black man falsely accused of raping a white woman in 1930s Alabama.The film is seen through the eyes of Atticus's young daughter, Scout (Mary Badham), and her brother Jem (Phillip Alford), who grapple with the harsh realities of racism and injustice in their small town. Key characters include Dill Harris (John Megna), Scout and Jem's imaginative friend, and Boo Radley (Robert Duvall), the mysterious neighbor who ultimately reveals his true character. The movie focuses on the moral courage of Atticus and the loss of innocence experienced by the children, capturing the essence of the novel's themes in a more streamlined narrative.Which version did we (the Margos) prefer?

The Novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" was written by Harper Lee in 1960. The story details a black man accused wrongly of the rape of a white woman. It was as though Harper Lee had heard the true story of Robert Milton. Milton was a black man accused of rape by a white teenager in 1920s Mississippi. He was convicted and executed and most people believe he was an innocent man. Perhaps that is why he haunts the courthouse where he was hanged, the Old Tishomingo County Courthouse. Join us for this compelling story of how rape was treated in the 1920s, how racism biased a jury and the history and hauntings of an old southern courthouse.

Carolina Zabalza (⁠@carozabalzacoach) es una coach de vida argentina especializada en Bioneuroemoción, con una serie de experiencias significativas que la han acercado a la espiritualidad. Durante la pandemia, Caro viajó desde España a Buenos Aires, donde enfrentó la dolorosa pérdida de su tía a causa del Covid-19, mientras su madre estaba gravemente enferma. Este difícil momento la impulsó a reconectar con estudios místicos que la ayudaron a explorar su mundo interior. Poco tiempo después, tuvo que lidiar con la muerte de su padre, un proceso difícil debido a la distancia que los separaba, ya que no se encontraban en el mismo país. Esta experiencia reforzó en ella la necesidad de encontrar un centro de paz y una zona de confort dentro de sí misma, lo cual logró a través de sus estudios en Bioneuroemoción y Cábala. A lo largo de su camino espiritual, Caro ha ido explorando cómo descubrir nuestro propósito de vida, y la importancia de la forma en que nos hablamos a nosotros mismos.  Su propósito ahora es compartir estos conocimientos que la han transformado, y guiar a otros en el profundo y enriquecedor viaje de autoconocimiento y crecimiento interior.

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our fifty-eighth episode, we once again cross the Atlantic for Harper Lee's 1960 novel of racial injustice, To Kill A Mockingbird. We get some long-overdue Cornish slander, delve into the American legalistic mindset, and mutter a lot about grits and yams.Cover art © Catherine Wu.Episode Theme: Daniel Jenkin-Smith on keyboard, 'Mockingbird Lullaby'.

David talks to the writer and broadcaster Helen Lewis about Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird (1960), one of the most widely read and best-loved novels of the twentieth century, and in the twenty-first century increasingly one of the most controversial. Is the book an attack on or an apology for Southern racism? How does its view of race relate to the picture it paints of class and caste in 1930s Alabama? And what on earth are we to make of the recently published prequel/sequel Go Set A Watchman? Plus we discuss Demon Copperhead, JD Vance, and more.Sign up now to PPF+ to get ad-free listening and all our bonus episodes – including a new bonus episode on Philip Roth's The Plot Against America www.ppfideas.com Our free fortnightly newsletter will be out tomorrow, including more to read, watch and listen to about To Kill A Mockingbird – just sign up here https://linktr.ee/ppfideasNext time: Tim Rice talks about Evita Hosted on Acast.

In 1949, aspiring writer Nelle Harper Lee moved from her home in small-town Alabama to New York City. She was following in the footsteps of her childhood friend, author Truman Capote. Within a few years she had penned a novel of her own, and called it To Kill a Mockingbird.To Kill a Mockingbird catapulted Harper Lee to the heights of literary fame. But just as she found success, she withdrew, overwhelmed by being in the public eye, and the pressure to produce another book as good as her first. Decades would pass before anyone mentioned the possibility of her publishing again - and this time, people wondered how much of a voice she really had in the publication of her second book.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
