Chalk and Ink: The Podcast for Teachers Who Write and Writers Who Teach
Send us Fan MailHello Everyone! Welcome to the 100th and the final episode of Chalk + Ink: The Podcast for Teachers Who Write and Writers Who Teach. I'm your host Kate Narita, author of 100 Bugs! A Counting Book and assistant principal. It may sound like the words 100th and final episode of Chalk + Ink easily rolled off my tongue, but I assure you they did not. It has been an absolute honor creating this podcast for you for the past six years, and it has honestly been a year-long process for me to let go and say farewell.When thinking about the last episode, I of course thought about the first episode with Angela Shante. I also thought about featuring clips from all the episodes with more than one hundred downloads and then realized in surprise that more than 80% of the episodes have had at least 100 episodes. Next came the idea that before the first episode, author and illustrator, Sarah Brannen, created the podcast art. And, I realized that featuring Sarah was a way to have the beginning hold the end. For those of you who don't know, Sarah has advocated tirelessly for all students to have the right to see all familial structures in books in schools and for all students to have the right to read freely. You can read her response to the Mahmoud v. Taylor Supreme Court's ruling on her website sarahbrannen.com and on Pen America's website pen.org. And then I thought about another tireless advocate for children to have the right to read all books, Melissa Stewart, who has relentlessly fought for children to have access to high quality nonfiction trade books. I also realized that past collaboration episodes have been some of Chalk + ink's most popular shows. Since Sarah and Melissa have collaborated together on four books and all four of their books are delightful summertime reads, I knew interviewing the two of them was the perfect way to honor you, the listener, and honor Chalk + Ink, because this whole project has been a collaboration.And the interview doesn't disappoint. We talk about the power of critique groups, collaboration, and journaling. So, get your journals ready, take some notes and then head outdoors to see what summertime surprises nature has to offer you today.Support the show

One Nation Party leader, Pauline Hanson, has just addressed the National Press Club and, in doing so, illustrated that she, her party and supporters are locked into 20th-Century thinking, seemingly unaware that this is the 21st Century, a time and place that needs a whole new approach and athletic thinking.Here is a story from The Melbourne Age - "‘We must be monocultural': Hanson demands end to multiculturalism, calls climate change a hoax", and another from The Guardian - "Pauline Hanson's speech ‘shameful' and echoed ‘rubbish' from rightwing figures in UK and US, critics say".
The contemporary landscape of the furniture retail industry is increasingly characterized by the paramount significance of customer experience as a pivotal determinant of consumer loyalty. As articulated in our discussion, the prevailing consensus is that while a myriad of retailers may offer similar products, it is the treatment of customers—whether within a physical showroom or through a digital interface—that ultimately engenders their return. Retailers, such as Taos Lifestyle, exemplify this principle by cultivating a community-centric environment that transcends traditional retailing, thereby creating a unique and engaging shopping experience. Furthermore, industry leaders emphasize that the vitality of customer interactions is intrinsically linked to the quality of personnel on the sales floor, underscoring the necessity of fostering a positive workplace culture that attracts enthusiastic and customer-oriented staff. As we navigate through the complexities of current market conditions, including impending tariffs and evolving trade policies, it becomes evident that a strategic approach to uncertainty and customer engagement will distinguish successful enterprises from those that falter. The latest episode of Furniture Industry News presents an incisive exploration of the evolving dynamics of customer experience within the furniture retail sector, emphasizing its critical role in fostering consumer loyalty. The discourse commences with a straightforward yet profound assertion: customers can purchase furniture from a multitude of venues, yet their return hinges predominantly on the quality of service they receive. This foundational understanding leads to a rich discussion on the varying strategies implemented by retailers to enhance the customer journey and, by extension, build lasting relationships with their clientele. Illustrating these strategies, the episode highlights the case of Taos Lifestyle, where Mary Demito has effectively transformed her retail establishment into a community-centric space, exemplified by the inclusion of a gift shop and a live music venue. This innovative approach serves to engender a sense of belonging among customers, thereby distinguishing the brand from conventional retail experiences. The conversation further examines Slumberland's model, wherein the emphasis is placed on cultivating a motivated sales force. As articulated by John Bleed, the essence of successful retail lies in the human connection—having employees who are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely enthusiastic about assisting customers enhances the overall shopping experience. The episode does not shy away from addressing the broader challenges facing the industry, such as the anticipated imposition of tariffs and the resultant implications for supply chains. The insights shared by industry leaders underscore the necessity for retailers to develop comprehensive strategies to navigate this persistent uncertainty, advocating for a proactive stance rather than a reactive one. Ultimately, the episode encapsulates the imperative for retailers to innovate continuously and remain adaptable, as those who can effectively respond to the shifting landscape will emerge successfully in the competitive arena.Takeaways:The paramount significance of customer experience in retaining loyalty cannot be overstated, as it transcends mere transactional relationships and fosters genuine connections.Retailers must adapt to an evolving landscape of uncertainty by implementing comprehensive strategies that facilitate cross-departmental communication and resource allocation.The acquisition of Palliser by Moto Motion exemplifies a strategic partnership designed to enhance operational efficiency and product reliability in the face of market challenges.Honesty and transparency in customer service policies serve as foundational principles that can significantly bolster consumer trust and brand loyalty over time.The integration of artificial intelligence in customer support systems not only streamlines operations but also enhances the overall consumer experience, reflecting a modern approach to retail.As economic conditions fluctuate, retailers must remain vigilant and responsive to consumer behaviors, ensuring that their offerings align with the evolving demands for value and quality.

Witness to Yesterday (The Champlain Society Podcast on Canadian History)
Donald Wright speaks with Carman Miller about his book The Black Box: Lady Bessie Borden's Family, 1863–1956. In a remarkable tale of tragedy, war, family conflict, and imperial diplomacy, The Black Box presents a collective biography of four generations of women in an elite Nova Scotia family during the late-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. These intelligent, educated, artistic women were pragmatic and autonomous persons who contributed to the development, maintenance, defence, and management of the Borden family's material resources. Illustrating the changing nature of the time, the book explores the adventurous and curious lives of women who moved at the highest levels of society. It examines how the synergies of their private and public lives redefined their place in society during an era when the state and religion became more active and private lives more public. It also demonstrates the role and importance of the material components of social power, such as dress, residence, clubs, and travel. Drawing on archival material retained by the family, the book reveals how the Borden family defined, secured, and sustained its status in society. The Black Box is a unique record of an elite family's response to the changing political economy of imperial Canada. Carman Miller was born in Nova Scotia and educated at Acadia University (B.A., 1960; B.Ed., 1961), Dalhousie (M.A., 1964) and University of London (Ph.D., 1970). In 1967, he joined the History Department at McGill as a Lecturer; he became Assistant Professor in 1971 and Associate Professor in 1977. He also served as Chairman of the department from 1978 until 1981. Miller's research interests are primarily in Canadian military and political history of the late 19th and early 20th century.

Lords: Lena Cory Topics: Re: Cory's teeth topic, there's so many artists making teeth It would actually rule to be immortal, and all those stories about how it's not are just cope How committed to the bit is committed to the bit enough? A poem by Evan Balster, shared with us at GDC: A shapeless figure, locked away Inside a realm she godly sways; To weave in light and shadow, there, A living, breathing world from air. And nightly does she host a guest Who comes and goes at own behest, And time to time might take the throne To make the place a toy his own And on the morn to leave the mess Its keeper cleans, without protest. For lonely is the weaving-hand, The breaking-one's its only friend. Microtopics: Topic Lords-themed hangouts. Indie City Games. Two Truths and a Lie, a science fiction detective story. A disgusting old man using an army of combat drones to find out what happened to his ex-boyfriend. Two topics for the price of one. Tooth dreams. Considering what to do about your teeth as you go through various phases of having or not having teeth. What people say if your femur is yellow. People dying from mouth problems. Going to the tooth artists and customizing your new teeth, just like Build-a-Bear. Reaching into your mouth and pushing the button on your artificial tooth that plays your catchphrase. The artist who illustrates your subject in stages as you dissect it. Illustrating gross health things in a way that people can understand. The cartoon amoeba that teaches you how to not get salmonella. The kind of people who comment on Fecal Transplant Explainer videos. Teeth: you chew with them. Hitting up your dentist for extra teeth because the last ones were delicious. The thing you have in your mouth the most that you're not allowed to eat. (Your teeth.) Gradually eating your own teeth because you grind your own teeth at night. Different sets of dentures for different vibes. How to get glow in the dark teeth. Discovering the hard way that your fake teeth don't fluoresce under UV light. An entire generation of Americans going into the dentist together, like Hands Across America, to get all their teeth pulled so they can get dentures. Losing all your teeth just in time for COVID. Learning to not feel like you have to explain why you don't have any teeth. Depressing people with possible existences that your mind can create. What to do with the people who get too old to have good opinions. Trying to maintain a continuous personality day to day. Immortality vs. just living a really long time. Burning it all down for the sake of your legacy. Continuing to try to save people's lives and eventually inventing immortality. Death: it's really cool actually. Coming face to face with death and realizing it's not scary at all. A Satanist and his wife selling everything to open a shop where they refuse to sell you human skulls and serial killer memorabilia. Not needing a Memento Mori room because you already think about death all the time. Transferring a marble from the future jar to the past jar to remind yourself not to waste this day. Having a child and tossing it on the pile of existing children that everyone's already taking care of. All there is to learn in the universe. The Sword in the Stone. Working all of physics out from first principles because it's fun and you have that kind of time. Deciding to spend 100 years just hanging out with a tree and you don't even have podcasts. Icehenge. Associated Press title capitalization rules. A decision that is awesome for everything except your wallet. Artists who don't like what they make and don't enjoy the process, they just have to do it. Not doing art for long enough to realize how unhappy you are because you're not doing art. Making games because it's cool and fun to make games. Making yourself happier by pretending to be happy. What's bad about being too happy? Oh thank God, a crisis! A series of dreams in which the dream world is aware of you and hates you. Lonely is the weaving hand, the breaking one its only friend. Why you should be grateful when your son throws his trash on the floor. The most mystical thing that we get to regularly experience. Déjà rêvé. One of the worst ways to determine whether you're dreaming. Morpheus refusing to explain the Matrix in words even though he could describe it in 30 seconds. Spoilers: the events of Inception did not actually occur.
Doctor Who fans have long feared Fear Her—and not necessarily for the reasons the episode intended. A lonely child, a suburban street, a cupboard-dad, a doodle monster, a rogue Isolus, and one baffling Olympic torch relay all add up to what may be the most filler-y filler episode Russell T Davies ever filled. But is it really as bad as its reputation suggests? Chris reaches for the Ogron almost immediately, while Pete shocks the universe by defending the value of low-stakes Doctor Who, especially when David Tennant and Billie Piper are still bringing the charm.

On today's episode, we explore George McCalman's book The Illustrated Black History: Honoring the Iconic and the Unseen. McCalman is an artist and creative director based in San Francisco. Our conversation revolves around the process he went through to narrow his list of historical figures from 500 to 145, his artistic process, and what it meant for him to orient himself around Black history in the US as a young Grenadian immigrant. Among the figures featured in the book are James Baldwin, Madeline Anderson, Colin Kaepernick, and the first Black person to travel into space, Guion S. Bluford.

In “Trade, Taste, and the Evolving Tale of Texas Whiskey,” Gravy reporter Evan Stern visits the Lone Star State to get a taste of a growing movement: Texas whiskey. Given the importance of saloons in cowboy culture and western mythology, one might think Texas whiskey has a long and storied history. But though Texans have always had a fondness for the demon drink, as a legal industry, Texas whiskey is barely even twenty years old. Despite this youth, however, its growth has been explosive. While as recently as 2010, the state claimed a mere two whiskey distilleries, that number now hovers around sixty and is growing. Yet as makers like Still Austin, Balcones, and Garrison Brothers have garnered awards and drawn national attention, its identity is still being discovered and remains challenging to define. In an increasingly saturated market, one also can't help but wonder: Is Texas whiskey on the cusp of something big, or will it bust? Through visits to two “grain to glass” distilleries, Stern learns of the industry's origins from Dan Garrison. The first licensed whiskey maker in modern Texas, Garrison tells of the challenges he faced aging bourbon in the torrid Hill Country and how his process has matured since his days as an early pioneer. Gravy also hears about the challenges regional distillers have faced in distinguishing their brands in a saturated market from sommelier Daniel Whittington, while Kentucky-based spirits author Fred Minnick argues that Texans' openness to experimentation has helped shift the flavor narrative of American whiskey. Illustrating this is John Evans who, in a move that could be considered unorthodox, has chosen to use oats in a mash bill he developed himself. A fifth-generation farmer, he opened Wilson Valley Mercantile on his family's historic property after thinking: “Why not make corn worth more by selling it as whiskey?” Featuring spirits distilled from grains raised entirely onsite, he shares his journey as an independent upstart. In these conversations, Gravy asks questions about process and flavor, while exploring how Texas's emergence reflects the American craft movement and pondering what its future could mean for the drinking world as a whole.

Today's Sponsor: ToyBox 3D PrintersWelcome to the very first episode of Dad Tired Daily — a short, intentional daily reset designed to help men tend their inner world so they can show up more healed for their families, work, and communities.In this episode, Jerrad introduces the heart behind Dad Tired Daily and explores an often-overlooked reality: while much attention has (rightly) been given to a mother's mental load, many fathers are quietly carrying deep emotional strain with little language or support.Drawing from recent research, real-world stories, and Scripture, this episode invites dads to stop carrying heavy things alone — and to begin practicing simple inner hygiene, daily care for the soul.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy fathers often carry mental and emotional strain in silenceThe cultural stigma that keeps men from talking about mental healthA real story illustrating the hidden cost of untreated distress in menWhy Scripture invites us to bring what's hidden into the lightResearch showing how a father's mental health impacts his childrenOne small, practical step you can take today to show up more healedScripture ReferencedHebrews 4:12–13 (ESV)“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword… and no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”Today's Inner Hygiene PracticeAsk yourself:What is one thing I'm carrying today that I haven't told anyone about?Reach out to one trusted friend and say something simple like:“I'm not looking for advice — I just need to say this out loud.”Bringing something into the light often reduces its power — and reminds us we're not meant to carry things alone.Why This MattersResearch increasingly shows that a father's mental and emotional health has a direct impact on his children — even before birth. Unaddressed stress, depression, or emotional dysregulation in fathers is associated with challenges in children's emotional regulation, social skills, cognitive development, and overall well-being.Strong families don't begin with perfect dads — they begin with healed men willing to tend their inner world.Referenced Research & ReportingJAMA Pediatrics (2024) — Meta-analysis of 84 studies showing associations between paternal mental distress around pregnancy/postpartum and poorer social-emotional, cognitive, language, and physical development in children.Hutchinson et al., Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics.Pacific Clinics — Reporting on paternal mental health, noting that nearly half of men experiencing mental health challenges never speak to anyone about it, and highlighting higher suicide rates among men.The 74 Million — Coverage on how paternal stress and mental health influence child development and family systems.News reporting on professional athletes and paternal suicide — Illustrating how many men struggle silently, even those closest to us never knew they were in pain.
NADAR'S BALLOON AND THE BIRTH OF PHOTOGRAPHY Colleague Anika Burgess, Flashes of Brilliance. In 1863, the photographer Nadar undertook a perilous ascent in a giant balloon to fund experiments for heavier-than-air flight, illustrating the adventurous spirit required of early photographers. This era began with Daguerre's 1839 introduction of the daguerreotype, a process involving highly dangerous chemicals like mercury and iodine to create unique, mirror-like images on copper plates. Pioneers risked their lives using explosive materials to capture reality with unprecedented clarity and permanence. NUMBER 1 1870 siege of the Paris Commune.

In today's world, anyone serious about anti-imperialism, global development, and monetary sovereignty needs to break through the well-funded US propaganda machine and develop a fact-based, nuanced understanding of China. To this end, Steve asked Yan Liang to come back to the podcast to look at China through the MMT lens, analyzing its economic management, global role, and response to Western villainization. They discuss China's development ethos and describe China as a state that actively uses its monetary and fiscal sovereignty to guide development towards internal goals (poverty alleviation, technological self-reliance, common prosperity) and external partnership (Win-win cooperation, Belt and Road Initiative). Illustrating the difference between state steering and the so-called “free market,” the conversation goes into China's mobilization of real resources through strategic state guidance, like Five-Year Plans and state-owned enterprises in key sectors. Yan talks about the use of capital controls and a managed exchange rate. She details lessons from 2015 and the application of MMT principles to insulate domestic policy from volatile external forces. Without romanticizing China, Yan also walks through its real challenges. But from an MMT-aware lens, these are seen as problems of policy design and resource use (issues a sovereign, planning-oriented state can address!) rather than proof of an impending collapse. Yan Liang is Peter C and Bonnie S Kremer Chair Professor of Economics at Willamette University. She is also a Research Associate at the Levy Economics Institute, a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Global Development Policy Center (Boston University), and a Research Scholar of the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity. Yan specializes in the Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), the Political Economy of China, Economic Development, and International Economics. Yan's current research focuses on China's development finance and industrial transformation, and China's role in the global financial architecture. https://www.linkedin.com/in/yan-liang-1355b91a2/ @YanLian31677392 on X
Charles Burton Charles Burton discusses his book, The Beaver and the Dragon, illustrating China's fundamental untrustworthiness and statistical manipulation, which has intensified under centralized leadership, noting Canada's past cooperation with China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) failed as officials often falsely reported data, and despite historical deception and security risks, there is a push in Canada to increase trade with China to offset trade issues with the United States, with Burton cautioning that trusting the Chinese Communist Party has always "gone badly wrong."

Galatia, the "Ukrainian Piedmont," and the Threat of Ukrainian Nationalism. Professor Eugene Finkel touches on the life of his Jewish grandfather, Lev, from Galatia, who joined the Red Army in 1940, illustrating how parts of Ukraine were not under Russian control until World War II. Russia viewed the tolerant Austro-Hungarian region of Galatia as a dangerous "Ukrainian Piedmont" that could spread nationalism. Russia's goal of controlling Galatia and assimilating its people was a key driver of World War I. The collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917 allowed for the brief, weak existence of the first Ukrainian state. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel. 1859
