In A Psalm for the Wild-Built ,Becky Chambers invites readers into a serene, post-collapse world where a wandering tea monk named Dex crosses paths with a curious robot, sparking a journey of introspection and philosophical wonder. Together, they explore what it means to be content, connected, and truly alive in a world that has learned to live gently. My guest this week is Emily James, a marketing strategist who moved to Richmond 15 years ago to attend VCU and forgot to leave after graduation. Growing up, she always had her nose in a book and rediscovered her love of reading as an adult thanks to the pandemic, motherhood, and the Libby app. When she's not lost in a good story, you can find her watching reality TV, playing tabletop games, or spending time with her family. Our protagonist, Dex, is a tea monk who makes teas personalized for whoever they are helping, so our drink this week is tea—whatever your favorite version may be. Pour a mug, relax, and take a break listening to this amazing episode!

Rebecca F. Kuang erregte vor einigen Jahren mit ihrer Trilogie Im Zeichen der Mohnblume (The Poppy War) international Aufsehen. Und ihr neues Buch Babel wurde ebenso ein Bestseller. Wir befinden uns in einer Alternativwelt im frühen 19. Jahrhundert in England. In Oxford wird daran geforscht, Silber eine geradezu magische Macht zu entlocken, indem ein Barren mit Wortpaaren geprägt wird. Welche Wortpaare funktionieren und welche Wirkung sie haben, daran forschen im Turm "Babel" viele Leute, und je mehr Sprachkenntnisse sie mitbringen, desto besser. Auf diese Weise ist England tatsächlich ein Empire. Der junge Robin Swift wird aus China nach Oxford gebracht, und sein Ziehvater Professor Lovell sieht in ihm großes Potenzial. Doch dann gerät Robin in eine Bande von Revolutionären, die die Macht von Babel brechen will ... Auf dieses Buch bekommt ihr diesmal zwei unterschiedliche Perspektiven. Und wer mehr über "Babel" erfahren möchte - zeitgleich erscheint für Abonntent*innen die Bonusfolge, in der Falko mit Übersetzerin Heide Franck über das Buch spricht. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge!

[School of Everything Else 2024] The conclusion (for now) to this series of shows on the triumphant return of Star Trek. Season 2 slaloms between unsettling and dark episodes which would feel more at home in Discovery if they weren't so personal to the characters in this rich ensemble... and some of the most hilarious, touching, light-hearted yet heart-breaking downtime episodes which highlight the comedy strengths and the charisma of everyone in the crew. It's bumpy, but so worth the journey. Kaoru's recommended episodes of the original 1966 series, AND the redheaded stepchild of Star Trek, the much maligned Enterprise series which ran for 98 episodes from 2001-2005.

Joining the program today is Clement Jochem, the filmmaker behind, among other shorts, the 2023 horror short “It's Not About Fear.” With its slow-burn atmosphere and its sensitive handling of some heavy subject matter, it's become a great way to get introduced to Clement's work. He and Arthur chat about plenty of topics on this episode, including the importance of being aware of how your art could be unintentionally interpreted, the stressful and jam-packed elements of the BTS production for “It's Not About Fear,” Denis Villeneuve's recent thoughts on movies being corrupted by television, and the toxic pits into which online film debates can plunge.

This week, the panel begins by diving into Theater Camp, a mockumentary-style comedy about gloriously talented misfits. Then, they pay tribute to Sinéad O'Connor, the dearly missed Irish singer, songwriter, and activist whose 1992 performance on Saturday Night Live rocked the world. Then, the trio is joined by screenwriter (and co-host of the Scriptnotes podcast) John August to discuss the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, what's going on in Hollywood, and how this “double strike” feels different than others past. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel chews over our relationships to our digits, inspired by the delightfully small yet cerebral piece by Charlie Warzel for The Atlantic, “In Praise of Phone Numbers.” Email us at culturefest@slate.com. Endorsements: Dana: While not released on one of her albums, Sinéad O'Connor's performance of “The Foggy Dew” with The Chieftains at the 1995 IRMA awards in Dublin perfectly captures the singer's gift for singing live. Julia: A big fan of lighting candles at dinner, Julia recommends Mole Hollow, a Massachusetts-based company that produces stunning handmade candles in bright, vibrant colors. John: Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone's novel, This is How You Lose the Time War, is a beautiful and intimate story with science fiction influences, told through the exchanging of letters, epistolary-style. Shout out to Twitter user @maskofbun for the viral recommendation. Stephen: He doesn't normally join the bandwagon of clear winners, but Patrick Radden Keefe's profile of art dealer Larry Gagosian for The New Yorker is so impressive, it left Stephen speechless. Outro music: “Forbidden Love” by OTE Podcast production by Cameron Drews. Production assistance by Kat Hong. This episode is sponsored by the podcast About the Journey.

This month is a wild one, y'all. Brittany kicks us off with some very important news, while Heather has a confession to make: she ate Cop Sausage! Then Brittany starts a conspiracy theory, Heather recounts a horrific tale of the Donner Party and bologna, and then she reminds us that she is, in fact, not Laurel. We would like to take the time to remind you that this is a Pro-Orca Podcast, as well as a Judy Greer Appreciation Episode. Somewhere along the way we ruminate on the important things in life, like Moldy Lo Mein and what even are Millennials anyway?

Almost everything we do – personally and professionally – is affected by the words we use. They help us build relationships, persuade others, and communicate feelings. But what if I told you that 6 types of words were better at doing those things than all the others? These findings are at the heart of Jonah Berger's latest book, Magic Words: What to Say to Get Your Way. Jonah is a bestselling author who's studied millions of words used in all kinds of settings. And he's found that certain words hold the key to getting your way. Whether you want to be more effective in achieving your goals or just become more aware of how you're coming across, this book is for you.

This time around, we're joined by the one and only Miri Baker (@MiriBaker). Miri brings us a trunked story from ye olden days, all the way back in 2011, plus a lot of great conversation about the load-bearing parts of our personalities, cosplay, and how genuinely liking the things we like is good, actually. This episode's reading carries content warnings for blood, extremely unsafe handling of swords, and extremely incorrect understanding of swords. It is just under 20 minutes long.
