Podcasts about Hooks

This week, we're chatting to Joseph Eckert whose debut novel has been 15 years in the making, and almost took him to Hollywood.It's an incredible hook, about Scott Treder who finds himself thrown forwards in time by a day. Then by 2 days. Then 4, 8 16, months, and years. You can hear how it all came from a childhood fascination with exponents and a pocket-money pact.Joseph lives on the USA's west coast, but works east coast hours - we discuss how that affects his writing day. Also hear about his dream den, how his novel began directly on the big screen, and his very thorough first reader. We discuss how time-travel novels often ask more questions of the author, than providing solutions, how he planned the future of humanity, and his scope for editorial push-back.Get a copy of the book - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineSupport the show - patreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

Between players jumping contracts and entangling themselves in gambling scandals; the lack of a clear, consistent enforcement authority and conference (league) realignments, one could easily confuse current state of the NCAA with the chaotic state of 19th Century baseball.This week, John T. Fortunato joins us to make sense of college sports today. Fortunato is a professor of communications and media management at Fordham University's Gabelli School of Business. His research interests include sports, broadcasting & communication and public relations. He comments on a wide range of topics, including name, image & likeness; the Brendan Sorsby and Darian Mensah controversies, the increasingly toothless NCAA enforcement arm, and whether or not Congress has the power to bring order to the anarchy. Professor Fortunato at FordhamJohn Fortunato, An Ethical Application to Student-Athlete Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), Journal of Intercollegiate Sport.Errata: The University of Houston played Idaho, not an Ivy League school, in March Madness's first round in 2026 - you'd think a "basketball junkie" would remember that. Wagner beat Maryland-Eastern Shore 78-64 on December 17, 2025, with 350 patrons in attendance. Rose Hill Gym was built in 1925 - it is the oldest Division I gymnasium still in regular use, now that Northeastern University's Matthews Arena is being demolished. Consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if available), through our store at Bookshop.org.

Al comienzo de este este post, el Deforme de hoy no tiene titulo. Veremos… Isabel nos trae hoy un libro de la grandísima Bell Hooks que versa sobre la enseñanza: ‘Enseñar a transgredir: la educación como práctica de la libertad.'  En él, Hooks, hace una crítica integral al sistema pedagógico en general y a la universidad en particular. La enseñanza va en una sola dirección profesor -> alumno y temas como el género, raza o clase sencillamente no existen. Ahora que escribo esto podría pensar que esto no ha cambiado una mierd….. bueno seguimos.    Bell Hooks implemento medidas “revolucionarias” pero hasta ahora desconocidas en la academia como que las personas que quisieran asistir a sus clases tenían la obligación de participar.  Lucía nos viene con otro libro que, atentas, podría haberlo escrito ella misma, por es de su máximo interés: ‘Asesinas Victorianas' de Mary S. Hartman, un libro no solo de true crime, sino que es además una historia social de mujeres del siglo XIX francesas e inglesas, que, fíjate, fueron acusadas de asesinato.  Pero no es solo true crime, como decimos, es un libro sesudo que analiza más allá y nos habla mucho de los porqués el cuando y del contexto profundo en torno a un crimen, cosa no tan habitual.  Ah, y justo al final tenemos título para estar Deforme: PEDAGOGÍA MAL.  ____________________________________________ Este programa y todo lo demás es posible gracias a personas como tú.

Bay Area hard rockers Corvus Lore return with a striking new visual for their latest single, “Promise You”—a slow-burning power ballad that showcases the band's ability to balance raw emotion with arena-sized ambition.Over the past decade, Corvus Lore have built their reputation sharing bills with heavyweights like Tesla, Richie Kotzen, and Dizzy Reed. The four-piece has honed a sound rooted in classic hard rock grit, elevated by melodic instincts and a modern sense of scale.“Promise You” may be their most emotionally resonant statement yet. The track opens in near silence—just acoustic guitar and exposed, vulnerable vocals—before gradually unfolding into a full-bodied arrangement driven by pounding drums and layered electric guitars. By the time it hits its chorus, the song transforms into something cinematic: soaring, urgent, and undeniably anthemic.The newly released video mirrors that dynamic arc. It leans into the song's intimacy early on, drawing viewers into a personal, almost confessional space before expanding outward in scope and intensity. As the instrumentation swells, so does the visual narrative, reinforcing the song's central theme—commitment that endures, no matter the odds.Lyrically, “Promise You” trades in vivid, elemental imagery while keeping its message grounded and relatable. Lines like “When the oceans dry, I will be the tide” strike a balance between poetic ambition and emotional clarity, underscoring a devotion that feels both deeply personal and universally understood.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

This episode is a repurposed Hybrid Hub marketing mastermind call about short-form content for photographers and hybrid photo and video business owners.

Chapter 1 - Paul Hofmann, Ph.D., Associate Provost for International Affairs at the University of Louisville and Society for American Baseball Research member, joins us this week to discuss Charlie Ferguson, a forgotten 19th Century baseball star. Ferguson played four seasons in his early 20s with the Philadelphia Quakers (now, Phillies) in the National League and by 1887, Ferguson's final season, he emerged as a rising two-way star, excelling both at the plate (.337 average) and on the mound (99 wins over 4 seasons). Ferguson died from typhoid fever in April 1888 after a month-long battle with the illness. He had turned 25 years old just two weeks prior. Ferguson was regarded at the time and for many years after as one of the greatest players in baseball history.Chapter 2 - Another gambling scandal, only not in professional baseball."Charlie Ferguson," by Paul Hofmann, at https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/Charlie-Ferguson/ (accessed June 9, 2026).Consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if available), through our store at Bookshop.org.

In this episode, you'll hear how an immigrant entrepreneur leveraged authenticity, storytelling, and smart content strategy to turn a resume platform into a powerful engine for referrals, hiring, and personal brand.   In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Jimmy Lai discuss: Using LinkedIn as an “Instagram” for lawyers and professionals Immigration journey, E-2 visa risk, and launching a law firm from scratch Clarifying goals on LinkedIn: clients, brand, or relationships Authenticity, lived experience, and personal storytelling in content Hooks, comments, and practical tactics to grow reach and engagement   Key Takeaways: Treating LinkedIn as a place to learn, be entertained, and build real relationships can transform it from a static resume into a dynamic growth channel. Before posting, get crystal clear on whether your primary goal is client acquisition, personal branding, or relationship-building, and let that drive your strategy. Consistent content built around a few focused pillars and rooted in lived experience tends to outperform generic, “professional-only” posts. Engagement doesn't start with posting; thoughtful, value-adding comments can be the safest and most effective way to warm up and build relationships. Sustainable business growth often requires letting go of the need to do everything yourself and delegating to capable people who can reliably handle 80% of the work.   "My big mistake as an entrepreneur was thinking that I'm the best at everything, and I need to do everything myself… we didn't hit exponential growth until I was ready to let go." —  Jimmy Lai   Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.   Join the Be That Lawyer Community and connect with ambitious lawyers who are serious about growing their book of business, strengthening their brand, and becoming confident, consistent rainmakers.   Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

This unique background, combined with his experience as an international student, fueled his passion for immigration law and his desire to help others achieve the American Dream. After earning his undergraduate marketing degree from the University of Central Oklahoma—where he was honored as the sole recipient of the prestigious Top Central Man award—he went on to complete his JD/MBA at the University of Oklahoma in 2021. Rather than taking the conventional route of joining an established firm as a junior associate, Jimmy co-founded Lai & Turner Law Firm PLLC in 2022 alongside his close friend Braden Turner to "do law differently." As the firm's managing attorney, Jimmy has guided Lai & Turner through rapid growth, expanding its services from immigration to include estate planning, criminal defense, real estate, and personal injury, all while ensuring every client receives premier representation rooted in the firm's core values.   Connect with Jimmy Lai:   Website: https://www.laiturnerlaw.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmylai-jdmba   Connect with Steve Fretzin: LinkedIn: Steve Fretzin Twitter: @stevefretzin Instagram: @fretzinsteve Facebook: Fretzin, Inc.

Patrick K. O'Donnell recounts how between 7:20 and 8:00 a.m., the Rangers began their assault using rocket-propelled grappling hooks to fire wet ropes up the 90-foot cliffs. The climb was conducted under intense fire from German MG42machine guns and "potato masher" hand grenades lobbed from above. Sergeant Len Lomell was shot through the side during the ascent but continued to the summit, which he described as looking like the cratered surface of the moon due to the preceding bombardments. The Rangers utilized the craters and ruins for cover, fighting through a maze of tunnels and bunkers against defenders who remained entrenched in an underground labyrinth. Upon reaching the designated casemates, the Rangers discovered the Germans had moved the massive guns to an apple orchard 700 yards inland, leaving telephone poles in their place as decoys. Acting on his own initiative, Lomell followed tire tracks leading away from the casemates and discovered the guns hidden under nets in the orchard. Remarkably, the German gun crews were assembled nearby, listening to an officer's orders and leaving the weapons briefly unguarded. Lomell and Sergeant Jack Kuhn used thermite grenades to melt the gears of the guns, rendering them inoperable. Through the efforts of these two men, the primary objective of the entire D-Day mission was accomplished, succeeding where hundreds of bombers and heavy naval guns had failed. (3)1944

Author Perry T. Cooper is our guest this week. Cooper's new book, "The 1890 Louisville Cyclones: Major League Baseball's Original Worst-to-First Team" (McFarland, March 2026). Louisville finished the 1889 American Association season with 27 wins, 111 losses, the first Major League team to lose 100 games during a campaign. Under new manager Jack Chapman, Louisville rebounded in 1890 to first place in the AA and an 88-44 record. Cooper regales listeners in this interview with stories about the characters on this team and the untamed baseball world in the 1890s. The 1890 Louisville Cyclones at McFarland Press.https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/the-1890-louisville-cyclones/Find the book at most online retailers - the book is not presently available in physical form at Bookshop.org, but can be purchased as an ebook there.Consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if available), through our store at Bookshop.org.

In this episode, Brock Johnson breaks down what he believes is the “death of valuable content” on social media — and why educational content alone is no longer enough to grow in 2026. Brock explains how the internet has shifted from valuing information to valuing attention, retention, and delivery. He also explains why many creators struggle because their content is still being delivered in boring or outdated formats, even if the information itself is useful. Then Brock breaks down the framework he uses to make educational content more engaging: the 6 A's. This episode is focused on helping creators evolve their content style so they can still educate while holding attention in a much more competitive content environment. Watch On YouTube

His essay, "September 1, 1906: A Pivotal Game Early in the Deadball Era," appeared in the Committee's newsletter, "The Inside Game," earlier this year. The game between the Philadelphia A's and the home team Boston Americans (now Red Sox) lasted 24 innings with the A's winning 4-1. The game featured many deadball era baseball features including speed, defense, strategy, moving the runners, crowd participation and heroic pitching with each starter pitching complete games in this marathon contest. McMurray paints a vivid picture of deadball era baseball at the turn of the last century by walking us through this amazing ballgame. In Chapter 2, Craig and Rex discuss blue dot fever that is causing artists in the pop music business to cancel shows and entire tours this summer.Join the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) here:https://sabr.org/communityThis is a cbc.com story on the Live Nation Lawsuit discussed in Chapter Two:https://www.cbc.ca/news/investigates/live-nation-executive-exclusive-9.7191295Episodes featured: 220 - In an Instant It Was All Gone: The Ray Chapman Story w/ Scott H.

The A's won 4 AL pennants and 3 World Series titles from 1910 to 1914. Vic Willis, a Hall of Famer, lost 29 games pitching for the 51-103 Boston Nationals in 1905, not 26 games.Consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if any were), through our store at Bookshop.org.

In this episode, Brock Johnson breaks down The Attention Formula and shows you how to engineer addictive Reels step by step. The focus isn't on better cameras, trending audio, or even the topic—it's on building curiosity into your content so viewers keep watching. Brock explains the three core layers of retention: structure, psychology, and swaps. First, we cover structure—how great short-form videos are built using a sequence of setups and payoffs, and how to stack ideas so each moment creates more curiosity than the last. he walks through a simple 5-step process to turn any topic into a high-retention video. Next, he dives into psychology, including how to use hooks, curiosity gaps, anticipation, and strong payoffs to keep viewers engaged. Brock also explains how these elements build trust over time and create a pattern where your audience expects your content to be valuable. Finally, he breaks down word swaps and framing techniques that immediately improve retention. This includes naming your frameworks, removing weak language, using negative framing, rehooking mid-video, and using contrast to hold attention. This episode is focused on helping you improve watch time, increase engagement, and create short-form videos that consistently perform. Watch On YouTube 

In this episode, Brock Johnson explains why hashtags are effectively dead on Instagram and what you should be doing instead to grow in 2026. He looks at platform changes and data, including the SocialPilot study and statements from Adam Mosseri, along with Instagram removing the ability to follow hashtags, eliminating their presence in the feed, and removing the “recents” section. Brock breaks down the strategies that are replacing hashtags, starting with Instagram SEO—how to use keywords in your captions, on-screen text, audio, and even comments to improve discoverability. He also covers creative strategies like hook swaps, all-or-nothing editing, and how to make your content more shareworthy using the S.H.A.R.E. framework. He also discusses why including a human face and voice improves performance, how committing fully to your content (even filming in public) increases impact, and why posting more frequently still plays a major role in growth. This episode focuses on the practical shift from hashtags to content-driven discovery and how to adapt your strategy accordingly. Watch On YouTube
