Ever wondered why Japan never feels “ordinary,” even after years of living here? In this episode, I share my personal reflections on what keeps life in Japan fascinating, 13 years after moving here. From the concept of home shifting over time, to the addictive curiosity that Japan sparks, and even why the bullet train still makes me giddy, this is a deep dive into why Japan gets its hooks into you and never lets go.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ohazassu-podcast--5905520/support.

Send us a textQuery letters make even experienced writers panic—and for good reason. In this special Ask Beth & Lisa episode, we're joined by author and educator Deborah Crossland for a deep, practical conversation about how to write a strong, effective query letter as we head into the 2026 querying season. Deborah breaks down what query letters are actually for, what agents want to see (and don't), and how writers can avoid the most common—and most damaging—mistakes.This episode is packed with actionable advice, mindset shifts, and real-world examples from the querying trenches.About Our GuestDeborah Crossland teaches English and mythology at a community college and writes myth-based contemporary YA novels with a feminist lens. Her novel The Quiet Part Out Loud was published in 2023, with the paperback released in 2024. She lives in Northern California and is passionate about making education accessible to all.Key Topics & TakeawaysWhat a Query Letter Is (and Isn't)The sole purpose of a query letter is to get an agent to request pages—not to sell the book or explain the entire plot.Think invitation, not explanation.The Anatomy of a Strong QueryA compelling hook (often 1–2 sentences)A focused pitch centered on external stakesBrief book details (genre, word count, comps)A short, professional author bioExternal Stakes Matter More Than You ThinkWriters often lean too hard on internal stakes; agents need to see what's happening.External conflict is what differentiates your book in a crowded field.If an agent can't picture the story visually, the query isn't doing its job.Pitch vs. SynopsisThe query pitch should not include spoilers or the ending.The synopsis is where you explain the full story, including how it ends.Mixing these up is one of the most common querying mistakes.How to Personalize Without Being CringeyReference an agent's manuscript wish list, not their personal life.Keep personalization professional, brief, and relevant.Treat it like a business introduction—not a social interaction.Query Etiquette (and Red Flags)Always submit queries exactly how the agent requests.Never DM agents or email around Query Manager.Don't announce querying rounds or submissions on social media.Avoid pitching your unpublished book publicly on Instagram, TikTok, or X.Author Bios for Debut WritersIt's perfectly acceptable to say, “This is my first novel.”Writing credentials are optional; strong pages matter more.Publishing loves debuts—lack of experience is not a liability.Series Talk: Less Is MoreDon't pitch a multi-book series as a debut.“Standalone with series potential” is sufficient.Length & ClarityQueries should be concise and tightly written.Every word must earn its place.If you can't summarize your story clearly, you may not be ready to query.Hooks, Loglines, and Netflix ThinkingThink in terms of loglines or streaming-style descriptions.If you can't explain your story in one sharp sentence, that's a sign to step back.

The secret to growth online isn't fancy graphics or endless posting, it's relevancy. Real, nail-on-the-head scenarios that made people stop, click, and share. In episode two of our three-part series, I'm spilling how we built titles from the exact situations our audience lives through. Think beyond "How to beat overwhelm" and into "Three reasons your kids ignore you even when you're yelling up the stairs." Specific. Relatable. Unignorable. Today on the podcast, I break down how we, unearth the true problems your audience faces (not the generic fluff), inject those scenarios into thumb-stopping titles, run a simple 3-step process to spin one story into endless content, leverage numbers and thought reversals ("3 reasons," "5 mistakes," "Unpopular opinion…"), and set up our next move—algorithm triggers to boost watch time (coming in part three). Stop guessing what might work. Use real-life triggers to grab attention and build momentum before you even pitch. Tune in now and discover how to craft viral titles that grow your brand. And don't miss part three where we'll unpack the exact algorithm hacks for maximum reach.

Tausende Hate-Kommentare unter einem einzigen Song – würdet ihr weitermachen? LUNA hat genau das erlebt, als sie 2024 ihren Song "Normal", bei dem es um eine queere Coming-Out-Story geht, veröffentlichte. In diesem Gespräch öffnet sich die Sängerin wie selten zuvor: Über ihren Weg vom Dorf bei Passau zur TikTok-Sensation während Corona, als plötzlich Millionen ihre Songs streamten und sie spricht zum ersten Mal öffentlich darüber, wie ihr erster Hit “Verlierer” wirklich entstanden ist. Wir sprechen über das Gefühl, dass die eigene Geschichte und ihr Erfolg so surreal wirkt und wie sie es schafft, sich selbst trotz vieler Veränderungen, Druck und Social Media-Präsenz treu zu bleiben. Ihr erfahrt, wie LUNA mit dem Spagat zwischen Privatperson und Künstlerin umgeht, warum sie überzeugt ist, dass es genug FLINTA*-Artists gibt (sie werden nur oft nicht sichtbar gemacht), und weshalb sie bewusst die Künstlerin sein will, die sie selbst mit 15 gebraucht hätte. LUNA spricht offen über ihre Verantwortung als queeres Vorbild, wie sie zu Anfragen steht, die Hooks für Rapper zu singen, über den Mut, für Demokratie und gegen Rechts einzustehen – auch wenn es Fans oder Deals kosten kann – und über ihren Appell an uns alle: "Scrollt weniger weiter, lasst mehr Liebe da." Das ist ein sehr ehrliches Gespräch über den Preis der Authentizität, politischen Aktivismus in der Musik und die Frage, wie viel man von sich preisgeben sollte, wenn jedes Wort zur Angriffsfläche werden kann.

Heading into the New Year, it's time to approach your marketing with a fresh set of eyes. And that doesn't have to mean falling for trends that are all hype with no real returns! Today, I'm walking through the marketing trends that are actually worth your time to take into 2026.    Marketing strategies are practically plagued with hype. So what actually works and what should you spend less energy on in the coming year. Here are some trends that I think are more hyped than they're worth:  #1: Posting more often  Quantity can only get you so far. If you're spending more energy churning out more content instead of deciding how you want to be intention to show up in a way that inspires people to actively support you, it's not energy well spent.  #2: Finding better hooks  Hooks are tools, not strategies. Don't get me wrong, I love a good hook! But the content has to be meaningful throughout the piece for the hook to mean anything.  #3: Trending formats  Hopping onto trends online might make for a random viral moment here and there. But it doesn't differentiate your brand from the rest. Finding ways to incorporate a signature style, no matter what kind of content you do, is more important than trend chasing.  #4: AI content strategists I've had enough with people telling Chatgpt to create a content plan for them. You need to create a foundational piece of content and then use AI as a content evaluator, not a strategist.  #5: Being on all platforms  Being on multiple platforms is a good idea if you have a plan, but simply deciding to be active on every platform to increase your chances will likely just end in fragmentation.    So what are the alternative? You'll have to tune into the episode for the full scoop, but here are the top marketing trends I see coming in 2026:  #1: Founder focused marketing  #2: Becoming the celebrity of your niche  #3: Micro community marketing  #4: The basic breakthrough    Connect with me:  Website Join our email list!

Somebody needed to pick up the torch for hard rock and heavy metal with real grit and gusto and without a gimmick. Enter Who on Earth. The New Jersey outfit of Coosh [vocals], Pete Rizzi [bass], Johnny James Barone (guitar), Jimmy Kocha (guitar) and Howie Fallon [drums] — deliver a one-two punch of hard-hitting hooks and airtight instrumentation bolted down by pummeling grooves and piercing riffs. It all gestated from a question…“We wanted to fill in the blank of ‘Who On Earth is going to bring back good rock and metal?',” explains Pete. “We grew up on the new wave of British heavy metal and classic rock. We went through grunge and other great genres of metal. We wanted to resurrect the melodies, hooks, and guitar solos. We returned to our roots yet upgraded everything with modern production.”The group made their bones through countless gigs across the Tristate area in every dive bar and concert hall with a stage. Along the way, Andrew and Pete tore up venues as part of MadHaus, performing marathon covers. During 2021, the longtime friends chose to forego covers, hunker down, and compose an original album.  The composing came easily, and in a short time, the founding fathers had 10 songs ready to go.  To bring the record to life, the band hit the studio with none other than Mike Orlando (Category 7, Adrenaline Mob). Over the next year, the guys endured numerous COVID delays as they recorded with Orlando behind the board as producer, engineer, and “stunt” guitarist. Nodding to everyone from Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica to Rush, Alice In Chains, and Tool, they placed storytelling in the spotlight.“The New Jersey heavy rockers bring their signature grit and power to the 1979 classic, adding punchy riffs, thunderous drums, and raw energy while honoring the spirit of the original.“Somebody needed to pick up the torch for hard rock and heavy metal with real grit and gusto without a gimmick. Enter Who On Earth. The New Jersey quintet—Andrew Couche [vocals], Pete Rizzi [bass], Howie Fallon [drums], Johnny James Barone [guitar], and Jimmy Kocha [guitar]—deliver a one-two punch of hard-hitting hooks and airtight instrumentation bolted down by pummeling grooves and piercing riffs.

You Deserve Flowers with Devon Blow In this episode, host Adina Oberman interviews Devon Blow, a dynamic artist and illustrator from Los Angeles who specializes in illustration, design, writing, and social justice advocacy. Devon discusses her debut book "You Deserve Flowers," a pocket-sized collection of affirmations and poetry that originated from a therapy assignment focused on self-affirmation. The conversation explores Devon's creative process, her passion for representing diversity and marginalized communities in her work, and her upcoming projects with Familius, including "Life's Best Bits" and a picture book. Throughout the discussion, Devon emphasizes how her art is deeply connected to social justice work and her desire to bring hope and encouragement to people from all walks of life. Episode Highlights 00:00:10: Adina Oberman introduces the Helping Families Be Happy Podcast and welcomes guest Devon Blow, describing her impressive background as an artist working with major clients like Netflix, Oprah's Book Club, and the United Nations. 00:01:42: Devon thanks Adina for having her on the podcast and the conversation begins. 00:01:44: Adina expresses excitement about discussing Devon's new book and their working relationship. 00:01:59: Devon introduces "You Deserve Flowers" as a pocket-sized book of affirmations and poetry designed to provide encouragement whenever readers need it. 00:02:27: Adina asks Devon to share the inspiration behind the book and her creative process. 00:02:37: Devon reveals the book originated from a therapy assignment where she was asked to write affirmations for herself as if speaking to others, since she found it easier to affirm others than herself. 00:03:26: Adina shares several affirming messages from the book, including "Loving yourself isn't arrogance, it's survival" and discusses the beautiful artwork. 00:04:16: Devon identifies the rain/puddles page as one of her favorites from the book. 00:04:19: Adina highlights Devon's artistic signature of including little hearts on characters' cheeks throughout the book. 00:05:14: Devon explains that people and diversity inspire her creative work, and she finds beauty in everyone's unique features and cultural backgrounds. 00:06:00: Adina asks Devon to elaborate on how her work connects to her passion for social justice. 00:06:18: Devon discusses how community and hope are central to her social justice work, citing influences like James Baldwin and bell Hooks, and emphasizing the importance of embracing differences. 00:07:28: Adina asks Devon to share information about her upcoming projects. 00:07:47: Devon announces her second book with Mamis titled "Life's Best Bits" featuring over 190 illustrations about simple joys, plus a picture book project and a middle-grade fiction book she's currently writing. 00:08:41: Adina expresses excitement about Devon's upcoming work and asks where listeners can find her online. 00:09:00: Devon directs listeners to her website and social media at @DevthePineapple across all platforms. 00:09:12: Adina thanks Devon for joining the podcast. 00:09:14: Adina concludes the episode by thanking Familius for their support and encouraging listeners to subscribe and leave reviews. Key Takeaways Self-affirmation can be challenging even for those who naturally affirm others, and therapeutic exercises like writing affirmations can be transformative creative outlets. Art can serve as a powerful tool for social justice advocacy by representing diverse communities and providing hope during difficult times. Small, accessible formats like pocket-sized books of affirmations can provide encouragement and support in everyday moments. Embracing and celebrating differences in people's backgrounds, cultures, and appearances is essential to moving forward as a society. Creative work that centers love, community, and inclusivity can have meaningful impact beyond aesthetic value. Finding inspiration in the beauty of everyday people and their unique features can fuel authentic and representative artistic expression. Quotable Moments "Loving yourself isn't arrogance, it's survival" - From Devon's book "You Deserve Flowers" "This rain won't stop you. The puddles remind you, you survived" - From Devon's book "You Deserve Flowers." "Trust your feelings, but don't forget to let the joy in" - From Devon's book "You Deserve Flowers." "I think if we can inspire each other and just be kind to one another, which sounds really cliche, but it's true" - Devon Blow on her approach to social justice work. "I think embracing all of our differences is what will push us forward" - Devon Blow on diversity and community. "I love affirming others, but I struggle with affirming myself" - Devon Blow on the origins of her book. "I think all of our unique features and things makes us really beautiful" - Devon Blow on her artistic inspiration.

Maintainership Its last release was in November 2023, but just a month ago I helped get Sean Dietrich approved as a new maintainer, so I'm hoping for a new release in the near future. It has security coverage. Tests exist to test the full functionality of the module and they are passing. There is no standalone documentation, although a README is RTBC'ed. That said, the module page has a straightforward description of what the module does and how to use it, and getting it up and running is very straightforward. Number of open issues: 24 open issues, only 1 of which is a bug against the current branch. I'll also note there are 8 issues that are RTBC, so we should be seeing some fixes forthcoming. Usage stats: 817 sites Module features and usage Once you enable the module, Webforms will have an additional “Scheduled tasks” configuration screen. You can create a task to email all results or just the results since the last export. Once you enable a scheduled task, you can set a number of options: its next scheduled run and the run interval (in hours, days, weeks, etc) where to email the results, in what format (JSON or CSV), whether to delete submissions after they're sent There's also a RTBC patch to allow you to configure file names to include date-time of export, which can help the recipients keep track of the exports. After that, you just sit and wait for cron to do its thing.
