Perhaps, like most people, you know what you should be eating, but somehow it doesn't always go to plan. Our relationship with food and our appetite cues can trigger us to either overeat or eat the wrong things and it's a topic that probably hasn't had the coverage it should and that certainly fascinates us at SHL. We asked Dr Helen McCarthy, clinical psychologist to come on the pod and talk to us about how she helps people to retrain their appetite. Dr Helen shares how she helps people get back into touch with their hunger signals which leads to a sense of freedom and increased pleasure from food. We talk about: Fasting and how it relates to appetite How to learn to listen to your natural hunger cues Deconstructing emotional eating How her approach leads to increased pleasure from food Why focussing on future goals and values is the key Stepwise behavioural change and how to manage obstacles This episode is full of simple practical tips to help you understand your own appetites, cravings and emotional eating To find out more about Dr Helen and her work, which includes some brilliant webinars  Follow her on Instagram Go to her website Connect with her on Linked In Or buy her book How to Retrain Your Appetite

In this episode:We speak to Dr Helen McCarthy, a Historian of Modern Britain at the Faculty of History and Author of Double Lives: A History of Working Motherhood.   In recent months, many working parents have had to juggle looking after kids at home with their usual jobs.We talk about how the pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on working mothers.  We take the historical perspective and the long view to try and make sense of these gender divisions.  We talk about our reliance on childcare, the broader economic impact of the last few months on women, and how to ensure it is truly valued in the coronavirus recovery.  Guests: Dr Helen McCarthy (https://twitter.com/HistorianHelen (@HistorianHelen)), Historian of Modern Britain at Faculty of History (https://twitter.com/CamHistory (@CamHistory)) and Fellow of St John's College (https://twitter.com/stjohnscam (@stjohnscam)) Author of Double Lives: A History of Working Motherhood https://twitter.com/BloomsburyBooks (@BloomsburyBooks)  More Info: https://www.hist.cam.ac.uk/people/dr-helen-mccarthy (https://www.hist.cam.ac.uk/people/dr-helen-mccarthy) Transcript: Unknown Speaker 0:00   Hello and welcome to the other university, a podcast about the people who make Cambridge University unique. I'm your host, Nick Saffell. In this episode, we speak to Dr. Helen McCarthy, a historian of modern Britain at the Faculty of History, and author of double lives, a history of working motherhood. In recent months, many working parents had to juggle looking after kids at home with their usual jobs. We talked about how the pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on working mothers. We take the historical perspective and the long view to try and make sense of these gender divisions. We talked about our reliance on childcare, the broader economic impact of the last few months on women, and how to ensure it is truly valued in the Coronavirus recovery. Just tell me a little bit about your experience of lockdown so far? Helen McCarthy 0:52   Well, my experience of lockdowns probably fairly similar to that of many other working parents, I've had my two primary school aged children at home for most of it, they managed to get back to school for a few weeks towards the end of the summer term. But it's been pretty intense and pretty full on. I've been trying to do my teaching and my university work. My husband, who's a lawyer, has been working at home doing some virtual court hearings, which has been a new experience for him. And it's been, you know, we've been sort of tag teaming it, trying to sort of muddle through as best we can. But it's been it's been a pretty stressful period. Unknown Speaker 1:34   So do you think it's changed your working practices as a family? With this sort of future mindset? Do you think it's going to change how you'll go about work? Helen McCarthy 1:43   Well, I've talked a lot about this with with my husband, who has only been into his chambers in central London once since the beginning of lockdown. And it certainly seems that for the legal profession, there may very well be a longer term shift towards doing a lot, a lot more online, including potentially quite a lot of court hearings, virtually. So that could be a permanent shift. And I think for universities, for my for my line of work. I mean, online teaching, obviously, is the immediate future for us, because University of Cambridge is, has announced that it will be providing all lectures online, at least for Michaelmas term, and then a great deal of my undergraduate teaching. And master's level teaching will also be online with hopefully a little bit of face to face teaching in there as well. But I don't know I mean, the future is really open, I think it will obviously come down to how soon we get a vaccine, whether we can work out some social distance, teaching methods that work really well. And how

We're back again with another interview! For this episode, Sully and Austin had the chance to sit down with noted anime scholar Helen McCarthy! Helen has been a pioneer in the English-speaking anime community for almost 40 years, having brought anime programming to UK sci-fi conventions, founding and editing Anime UK, and authoring over a dozen books on anime fandom and research. Helen co-authored the monumental Anime Encyclopedia with Jonathan Clements, now in its third edition, written one of the definitive biographies of the God of Manga, Osamu Tezuka, which was published in English, Japanese, and Korean, and had the chance to interview Hayao Miyaki in-person for her book Hayao Miyazaki: Master of Japanese Animation. Sully and Austin reflect on Helen’s beginnings in anime fandom, what it took to publish the world’s largest English-language anime resource, and the importance of diverse voices in global anime scholarship. Helen also gives a sneak peak into her upcoming book: a collection of scholarly essays on the works of Leiji Matsumoto!

As of last week, all IVF treatment has been suspended in the UK. What impact is this having on women, and what could the longer-term consequences be? Tina Mulhern is 41 and can’t now start a second cycle of treatment after her first attempt failed in February. Anya Sizer is the London regional organiser of Fertility Network UK. Over the past few weeks, we’ve had lots of listeners getting in touch to tell us how gardening is helping them through lockdown. Fran Halsall is one of them - but she’s decided to use her skills outside of her own back yard. In today’s Woman’s Hour Corona Diaries, she tells Jenni what it’s like volunteering as a planter and picker on a local farm, and how she’s trying to galvanise others to have a go at growing by making a series of simple instructional videos. The lockdown seems like the perfect opportunity to give sewing and mending your own clothes a try. It’s also a time when sewists have been lending their hands to help the NHS frontline. Ros Studd is a textiles teacher who’s just launched the website Repair What You Wear; Dulcie Scott is a TV costume designer who’s worked on Downton Abbey and His Dark Materials and is now co-ordinating Helping Dress Medics, a project to sew much-needed hospital scrubs, and Esme Young is a fashion designer and judge on The Great British Sewing Bee, which returns for a new series tonight on BBC 1. The things we cherish aren’t always expensive. Instead, we treasure the stuff that reminds us of special people, particular times in our lives, or which stand for something important. The writer and broadcaster Sali Hughes talks to Elen Jones about a particularly special pair of glasses. The last century and a half has seen remarkable changes in women’s lives - perhaps not least that today three quarters of mothers are in paid employment. In the nineteenth century working mothers were in a minority and, the fact that they were working was widely regarded to be a social ill damaging to their families and wider society. While the working lives of the earliest women doctors or factory workers were very different both had to wrestle with cultural assumptions that they were somehow neglecting their domestic duties. Many women with children were driven to work by economic necessity but, it also appears that many of them came to enjoy a measure of financial independence and a life beyond the home. The historian Helen McCarthy discusses her new book ‘Double Lives: A History of Working Motherhood’ and how much attitudes to mothers in the work place have changed - and how far we still have to go.

Viral is a podcast series looking at the spread of COVID 19 as it continues to affect Ireland and the International world in a growing capacity. Intensive care unit capacity has been one of the focal points in Ireland's approach to combating the Coronavirus outbreak, and a huge emphasis since day one, has been made in maximising the allocation of resources. On today's podcast , The Irish Sun's Adam Higgins speaks about a Patient Evaluation Process being carried out at major hospitals along the west coast of Ireland, that ranks patients numerically by age, medical conditions and sometimes by gender in a bid to prioritise ICU capacity. We also take a look at the chequered past of Home-working and discuss whether a cultural move towards remote work is something that only benefits the privileged in society with Helen McCarthy, Cambridge University Historian and author of Double Lives: A History of Working Motherhood.Produced by UrbanMediaHosted by Ian DoyleMusic by Psykick See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Wedding shaming is our new favourite internet-based hobby. On two huge Facebook groups, tens of thousands of people regularly insult, laugh at, and argue about dodgy cakes, ill-fitting dresses, and themed engagement shoots.

In this episode Michaela is joined by Helen McCarthy, a researcher at MPI Europe and PhD candidate at Middlesex University. Recorded in the week that Boris Johnson became Prime Minister, they revisit Helen’s work about how Spanish officials were preparing for Brexit’s impacts on British retirees, draw out the different conditions and circumstances that support British lives in Spain and consider how these variously may shape the outcomes of Brexit—including in the case of No Deal—for individuals. We talk pensions, healthcare and taxation … and consider all the different actors and stakeholders caught up in securing the post-Brexit lives of Britons in Spain (and indeed, elsewhere). But we also talk about the parallel case of Spanish nationals living in the UK, the topic of Helen’s PhD research.

The big work question used to be "Do you live to work, or work to live?" Now, it's "Can you ever work hard enough?" In February 2019, Atlantic staff writer Derek Thompson wrote a viral article about workism - that "work has morphed into a religious identity—promising transcendence and community, but failing to deliver." How widespread and cult-like has this become? Helen speaks to a workplace wellness expert, those trying to define success, and a 'workism reformist', to find out.

Artist Emma Smith with guests specialising in child development, children’s rights, and psychoanalysis. Join artist Emma Smith for an evening of discussion with special guests from the fields of child psychotherapy and democratic education, and specialists in twentieth century feminist, psychoanalytic and social history. Emma will introduce her exhibition, Wunderblock, and invite the panel to join her in unpacking some of the research, key themes, and ideas behind it. Areas for discussion will include the history of state interest and intervention into child development after the Second World War, the post-war emphasis on the accountability of the mother, and Emma’s interest in children and young people’s agency and ability to influence the world around them. The event will cover the exhibition’s post-war context as well as contemporary approaches to working with children and young people. It will encourage reflection on the extent to which post-war research and debate still influences our attitudes to children and young people, mental health, teaching, and parenting. Emma will be joined by Dr Shaul Bar-Haim from the University of Essex, Dr Helen McCarthy from the University of Cambridge, leading educator Ramin Farhangi, and child therapist and psychoanalyst, Antje Netzer-Stein. Wunderblock is curated by Rachel Fleming-Mulford, and is commissioned by Birkbeck, University of London for the Hidden Persuaders Project, funded by the Wellcome Trust Public Engagement Fund. Speaker biographies: Dr Shaul Bar-Haim is a Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the University of Essex. Shaul’s research specialisms include the intellectual history of psychoanalysis and other twentieth-century 'psy' disciplines, the history of childhood, and critical theory. His forthcoming book is The Maternalists: Psychoanalysis, Motherhood, and the British Welfare State, University of Pennsylvania Press (2020). Ramin Farhangi is a leading educator and advocate for democratic schooling. He is the cofounder of Ecole Dynamique (2015, Paris). This is based on the Sudbury concept, where the school is run by a direct democracy in which students and staff are equal in rights. Ramin is also the cofounder of EUDEC France, a network of 38 democratic schools and 30 projects. His TEDx talks have reached nearly 400 000 views. Dr Helen McCarthy is University Lecturer in Modern British History at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of St John's College.

The social media influencer industry has exploded so much, we can't scroll through our timelines without bumping into them. We've gone from seeing them as a relatively harmless novelty, to criticising and regulating them, in just a few years.

In this episode of Side-Quests, Wes and I are joined by Helen McCarthy (http://helenmccarthy.wordpress.com), a learned scholar of anime, accomplished craftsperson, and engaging conversationalist. We specifically consider the subjects of (a) Japanese Culture and its perception vs. its reality, (b) mythology and whether anime melds the mythologies of the East and West, and (c) then we focus in on the works of Hayao Miyazaki, his leading ideas, his sense of nostalgia, and ultimately consider what his masterpiece is. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support

If there's something missing in your life, or you're struggling to achieve your goals, you could always spend a lot of money on a very loud motivational seminar. That should get you going. The motivation industry is huge, but like the diet industry, it sells a big dream. What do the motivational junkies who've tried it all actually think? And can we really trust the industry's leading speakers to give us what we need?

This time we're taking a deep deep dive into the history of Japanese animation with Dr. Jonathan Clements. An expert on Asia and anime, Jonathan Clements is the author of many books, including Anime: A History, The Anime Encyclopedia (co-authored with Helen McCarthy), and Sacred Sailors: The Life and Work of Seo Mitsuyo. In this episode we discuss the origins of Japanese animation and its fascinating history. We particularly focus on the making of Japan's first feature-length animated film: Momotaro: Sacred Sailors (桃太郎 海の神兵, Momotarō: Umi no Shinpei). Clements talks about how this World War II era Navy funded propaganda film got made, the challenges faced by the film's director Seo Mitsuyo, the influence of Western animation like Popeye and the 1941 Disney film Fantasia,and what people today can gain by watching this sometimes strange and often unsettling work. Clements also reflects on the importance of two of Japan's most respected and famous figures in the Japanese animation industry: Osamu Tezuka and Hayao Miyazaki. Oh yeah, and there's talk of a British POW potentially being responsible for what was very likely the first ever occurrence of native English voice acting in Japanese animation. Yep, it's a lot to take in but totally worth a listen, so go do that now!

What do women want? According to pick-up, they want someone dominant and assertive who’ll come up to them in the street and ask for their number outright. Pick-up clearly has a flawed methodology. That hasn’t stopped some ‘gurus’ making a fortune out of it, and attracting hundreds of thousands of followers. Does evolutionary science really support their brash advice? And do the coaches actually think they’re doing men some good?

Anti-vaxxers are some of the most hated people on the internet - depending on who you talk to. They don't like vaccinations, and they're pretty adamant about it. Pro-vaxxers don't like anti-vaxxers, and they're pretty adamant about it too. Are pro-vaxxers always the 'good guys', peddling sound science and common sense? Or do both sides of this polarised argument have much more in common than they realise?

BEFORE YOU LISTEN: Clean eating, diets, food restriction, and eating disorders are mentioned throughout. Please don’t listen to this episode if you find these topics difficult. It’s got 36 million mentions on Instagram, and it’s got us cutting out dairy and gluten as if they’re poisonous. Clean eating has been fighting off the criticism it regularly receives and prevailing for the most part. What are people really trying to ‘cleanse’ from? Is it possible to follow a clean eating diet without it dictating your self worth?

There's a group of (mainly) men on the internet who try and go for as long as possible without masturbating or watching porn. It's called NoFap, and for many, it's a form of profound self-improvement. Are they deluded and too quick to self-diagnose? Or more progressive than the rest of us?

For this episode, we have two segments. The first (0:50-26:33) is a discussion with Anne of Pikapi Podcast comparing the English and Japanese ending themes of the third Pokémon movie. As usual, we go over the production details, then evaluate the songs and decide which one comes out on top. Our second segment (26:41-42:04) is an archival interview with Helen McCarthy, author of "The Anime Encyclopedia".

Så er TEGNEFILMPODCASTEN tilbage med endnu en vaskeægte klassiker, Hayao Miyazakis fantastiske Min nabo Totoro (My Neighbour Totoro / Tonari no Totoro, 1988).       Anime-, Miyazaki, Japan-eksperten Helen McCarthy er med via Skype, og Helen og jeg snakker om baggrunden for Totoro hvor den var en del af en dobbelt-feature med Isao Takahatas Grave of the Fireflies (Hotaru no haka) og hvordan Totoros succes voksede sig så stor at den blev logo for Studio Ghibli. Men vi dykker også ned i filmens brug af Shinto-religion og Japans kultur.       Sidst i podcasten kigger jeg nærmere på karakterdesign og animation af både de to hovedroller, pigerne Mei og Satsuki — samt selvfølgelig Totoro selv.Derfor ser episode 43 af TEGNEFILMPODCASTEN sådan ud:0:00:00 Intro0:04:09 Anmeldelse af Find Nemo blu-ray0:09:09 Interview med Helen McCarthy: My Neighbour Totoro vs.Grave of the Fireflies, Totoro-merchandise og Totoros voksende popularitet0:22:29 Interview fort.: Shinto-religion og japanske traditioner i Totoro0:36:31 Interview fort.: Totoro som dødsgud (en teori vi ikke tror på!)0:48:29 Karakterdesign + animation: Satsuki og Mei0:56:22 Karakterdesign + animation: Totoro1:02:36 OutroTak til...TEGNEFILMPODCASTENs temamusik er af tyske Beat.Bourdeaux.

TEGNEFILMPODCASTEN er tilbage efter sommerferien med et kig på Hayao Miyazakis episke Howl's Moving Castle (da. Det levende slot) fra 2004. Filmen er baseret på en engelsk fantasyroman af Diana Wynne Jones, og foregår i et alternativt og magisk Europa omkring 1910erne. Filmens første hovedperson er Sophie, en ung pige, der bliver forhekset i filmens start, så hun kommer til at ligne en gammel kone. Og lige så vigtig er den titulære Howl, en troldmand som også bærer rundt på en hemmelig forbandelse. De to møder hinanden, sød musik og masser af fantastisk magi opstår, og samtidig raser en blodig krig i landet. Denne episode af TEGNEFILMPODCASTEN byder på et ca. 25 minutter langt interview med anime-ildsjælen og -pioneren, Helen McCarthy, der fortæller om Miyazaki og Studio Ghibli efter Spirited Away og giver indtil flere forklaringer på hvorfor f.eks. Howl... ikke føles som en Ghibli-film og hvad er gået galt under produktionen. Episode 31 af TEGNEFILMPODCASTEN ser ud som følger: 00:00 Intro 05:58 Interview med Helen McCarthy del 1: Howl som mandlig helt, slutningen, design + stil, Miyazakis produktioner vokser efter Spirited Away. 18:44 Interview med Helen McCarthy del 2: At appellere til et amerikansk publikum bevidst/ubevidst, Disney og Pixars indflydelse, Studio Ghibli efter Miyazaki og Takahata. 33:20 Sophie: Karakterdesign + animation 42:07 Howl: Karakterdesign + animation 52:02 Blu-rayens ekstramateriale 57:07 Outro + næste episode af TEGNEFILMPODCASTEN //Tegnefilm som du aldrig har hørt dem før

Today when I was in the Barnes and Noble manga section I noticed a book about Osamu Tezuka that kinda pissed me off when I saw the title. The book was titled The Art of Osamu Tezuka: God of Manga . It was written by Helen McCarthy. The part that stuck in my craw was the whole “God” thing. I admit I am not much of a Tezuka fan. I TRIED to read the first volume of the Dark Horse Astro Boy, but found it so incredibly dumb I couldn’t finish reading it. I also tried reading Metropolis with similar results after I enjoyed the anime. Unfortunately, the manga had almost nothing to do with the anime. Tried reading Buddha, but was put off by the odd New York Bronx accents being spoken by Asians thousands of years ago.  The only work by Tezuka that I have actually liked is his Phoenix saga. I think the guy is overrated. From what little I have read, he seems to have produced a lot of crap titles and and a few really good ones.   Maybe I’m just overreacting to McCarthy’s implication that there can never be anyone as good as Tezuka. Thinking like that disgusts me because if you buy into it, there can never be any progress in the manga field. It rankles me as much as Tom “The Sanctifier” Brokaw saying that the soldiers that fought in WWII were “The Greatest Generation” as though no other soldier ever fought for higher stakes or ever will again. I guess I hate it anytime someone says an artist is “definitive”. Because it is an attempt to put up a wall to block the course of the future. McCarthy’s book is a polar opposite apologia for Chip Kidd’s Bat-Manga, in which the manga artist wasn’t even given credit for his work on the front cover as though he were a leper. Now we have a second rate manga dude being compared to a divine being. Come on. He isn’t Christ.   You can judge Tezuka’s impact on American culture by the whopping box office take of the Astro Boy movie. Nobody was interested. Tezuka no longer matters. If he ever did. He’s just been pumped up by the older generation of manga and anime elitists over the past 20 years. I say screw Tezuka and his pseudo French intellectual beret. Give me Kishimoto, Endo, Arakawa, Tanaka, Tatsumi. Give me the future. And when the hell is someone going to start printing Leiji Matsumoto’s manga works? He is much more important to anime and manga than Tezuka.

Who wound up David? King DAP can't seem to shut his trap, leading us through discussion on Scott McCloud's ZOT!, The Stand: Captain Trips and American Nightmares with Mike Perkins, listener email, Marvel Visionaries: Stan Lee, Namor, Hitman, Bryan Talbot's Heart of Empire, the Superman Family titles, cat yronwode, Creator Spotlight: Osamu Tezuka - God of Manga by Helen McCarthy for Abrams Comicarts, Top Cow's Darkness/Pitt, Simpsons Treehouse of Horror #15, a harrowing comic book experience (with beer), Vigilante, Blackest Night, Rick Leonardi and Cloak and Dagger, X-Men Legacy #228 and Daniel Acuna, Liberty Comics #2, Dark Horse's Noir anthology, Thor: Ages of Thunder, and a whole mess more! Bonus! Crazier-than-usual Hotline calls (and that is saying a LOT).

Hell, I dunno either! This latest podcast is all about the anime con that just happened. It’s called Anime Weekend Atlanta. It was pretty awesome. And so here are two nightcap sessions we recorded on Friday and Saturday night. Aside from the usual crew of OSM Central, we also have our ever-present buddies over at Akihabra Renditions. And add that extra something with just adding Basil won’t cut it, Chad Bonin of GaijINside on Friday’s section and Niko of MTAC and GMX fame on Saturday’s section. Oh! And some guy named Dusty who happened to be on the room Friday night. We get the BIG NAMES here folks! MAJOR SCREW UP: And once again, we apologize for mixing up names on the first half. When we say Rikki Simons, we actually meant Jonathan Tarbox. These two gentlemen are both awesome guys and we feel bad for mixing up names. We blame the fact that it was really late at night. Because honestlt, Tarbox is a freakishly amazing name and I have no idea how we could forget such name. I mean, Tarbox. Man. OSMnotes Do you? AWA was amazingly awesome! Most excellent panel shout outs go out to Drew, Richard, and Dave Merrill for the great Classic Mecha panel. Clarissa’s Blackjack panel was also kickass, and major thanks for joining us for the Podcaster’s Roundtable. Gerald’s History of Hentai and AIC ( Darius was awesome too!) panels were wondrous. And, of course, I do in fact Believe in Daryl Surat. Helen McCarthy’s Unknown Tezuka Panel was illuminating. Carl Horn’s and Jonathan “Completely not Rikki Simons” Tarbox’s State of the Manga Industry was excitingly candid. And any other panels I’m not thinking of, were also probably amazing. I'd like to say Rail took the picture at this angle. So I will. … Like Vertical’s which has helped me start working on my Xmas list. See, there was just too much stuff to remember it all. Speaking of the Podcaster’s Round table, I know one or two new podcast start-ups were there talking to us after the panel was over. EMAIL US. Basil commands this! It is osmcast@gmail.com. Anyone else, they can do this too! But especially the ones I’m talking about you know who you are. Also, everyone can always call us on the OSMline: (209)-OSM-LINE aka (209) 676-5463. And before I forget! Basil was a guest on the Channel Z podcast from Dragon*Con, and this one is _ video_. Where we read Naruto fanfiction. Terrible Naruto fanfiction. You have BEEN WARNED. Next week we’ll get real about AWA. _Really _real.

Here's our interview from AWA 2007 with noted anime scholar Helen McCarthy, author of The Anime Encyclopedia, which is now in its second edition.
