PART OF THE STORY—Susan Casey has won National Magazine Awards for editing, writing, and design—a feat that may well be unprecedented in the industry's history.In her native Canada, they call people like this “Wayne Gretzky.”She has worked—under various titles—for the following magazines: The Globe & Mail, Outside, Time, Esquire, eCompany, Business 2.0, Sports Illustrated Women, National Geographic, Fortune, and O, The Oprah Magazine. She also worked for the iconic 1990s fashion brand Esprit. These days—literally on any given day—you're likely to find Casey in the water, where she spent much of her childhood, later with the swim team at the University of Arizona, and, as an adult, as the author of four immersive books—all best sellers—about the ocean: The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks, and Giants of the Ocean; The Devil's Teeth: A True Story of Obsession and Survival Among America's Great White Sharks; Voices in the Ocean: A Journey Into the Wild and Haunting World of Dolphins; and her most recent, The Underworld: Journeys to the Depths of the Ocean.A self-proclaimed “outspoken designer” early in her career, she refused to accept the career path limits others imposed and instead laid the groundwork for a rich creative life.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

If you've got something coming up that feels insurmountable, then today on The Daily Pep! I'm sharing a story from my own life that I think might help.
fWotD Episode 3128: Freedom from Want Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 27 November 2025, is Freedom from Want.Freedom from Want, also known as The Thanksgiving Picture or I'll Be Home for Christmas, is the third of the Four Freedoms, a series of four oil paintings by American artist Norman Rockwell. The paintings were inspired by the Four Freedoms, a set of four goals articulated by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the president of the United States, in his 1941 State of the Union address.Freedom from Want was created in November 1942 and published in the March 6, 1943, issue of The Saturday Evening Post. All of the people in the picture were friends and family of Rockwell in Arlington, Vermont, who were photographed individually and painted into the scene. The work depicts a group of people gathered around a dinner table for a holiday meal. Having been partially created on Thanksgiving to depict the celebration, it has become an iconic representation for Americans of Thanksgiving and family holiday gatherings in general. The Post published Freedom from Want with a corresponding essay by Carlos Bulosan as part of the Four Freedoms series. Despite many who endured sociopolitical hardships abroad, Bulosan's essay spoke on behalf of those enduring the socioeconomic hardships domestically, and it thrust him into prominence.The painting has had a wide array of adaptations, parodies, and other uses, such as for the cover for the 1946 book Norman Rockwell, Illustrator. Although the image was popular at the time in the United States and remains so, it caused resentment in Europe where the masses were enduring wartime hardship. Artistically, the work is highly regarded as an example of mastery of the challenges of white-on-white painting and as one of Rockwell's most famous works.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:24 UTC on Thursday, 27 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Freedom from Want on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Ruth.

Aimée de Jongh is stripmaker, animator en illustrator. Ze begon haar carrière met de dagelijkse strip ‘Snippers' voor Metro. Kort daarna publiceerde ze haar striproman ‘De terugkeer van de wespendief', die later werd verfilmd. Ze brak internationaal door met haar wereldwijd bekroonde ‘Dagen van Zand'. In het boek wordt een fotograaf gevraagd om de Amerikaanse Dust Bowl in de jaren '30 te fotograferen. In 2022 ontving ze de Stripschapprijsvoor haar oeuvre. Nu verschijnt ‘Onderweg: Migraties die de Wereld Veranderen'. Samen met historicus Tina De Gendt gaat de Jongh in het prentenboek op zoek naar de manier waarop migraties van vroeger hun en jouw leven bepaald hebben. Femke van der Laan gaat met Aimée de Jongh in gesprek.
Twijfel je over een opdracht, een nieuwe richting binnen je illustraties of het starten van je eigen bedrijf? In deze aflevering gaan we in op een vraag die iedere illustrator herkent: hoe weet je wat de juiste keuze is?Over angst, twijfel en de kunst van kiezen met je hart. Over momentum, enthousiasme, en waarom rationele lijstjes je soms juist verder van je pad brengen. Een aanmoediging om te doen wat je écht wilt, ook als het spannend is.

FOOD IS FOR EVERYONE—That meal your grandmother always cooked. Or your mother. Or your father, for that matter. The odors that permeated a kitchen or the entire house. The first taste. The idea of comfort food.So much of who we are and what we remember are about food, sure, but also about place, and most definitely about the person doing the cooking.While many food magazines go beyond food to create the context about the recipes they print, writer and editor Kyle Yoshioka felt they lacked the backstories that make food about more than taste or trends or wine accompaniments. And with no experience in the form, he was part of a team in Portland, Oregon that decided to launch Provecho, a magazine all about the backstories, and especially the culture and communities, behind each and every ingredient that goes into each and every lovingly created dish. And without a single recipe.Provecho, then, is not really a food magazine at all, but a cultural review that uses food as a focal point. It's anthropology that tastes good. One that is, in its own way, creating a community all its own.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

Today sassy Meg is back! In today's episode we dive back into how our inner critic really, truly is a liar.
This week, Jimmy and Richie talk to Jimmy's daughter, Author and Illustrator Michelle MacLean about her book "Abilities". Michelle MacLean is a 7th grade Special Educator in Sudbury Massachusetts. Her inspiration for her graphic novel came when her students with different disabilities started to make negative comments about their challenges with school. Not finding any characters for her students to connect with, she decided to create them. Michelle had her own challenges growing up in school as she was placed in a sub separate special education class for having dyslexia. Despite having dyslexia, she was always a creative cartoonist. Michelle went on to earn her masters at Framingham State University in Special Education. Her goal for this book is to help kids with different disabilities learn more about themselves and persevere through the challenges of school. The character in her book Daniella is a reflection of herself growing up in middle school.

In the Northern Hemisphere we're approaching the darker months, which can be challenging. So today I'm sharing a fun community challenge to find some silliness in this season.
This is the second appearance of Scott Christian Sava on StoryBeat. Scott's an artist, animator, illustrator, writer, director, and producer, whose work over the last 30 years, has brought some of the world's most beloved characters to life in film, television, comics, and games, from Casper the Friendly Ghost to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Star Trek to Spider-Man and more. Scott's unique talents and vision have been called upon by Marvel Comics, Disney, Universal Studios, Nickelodeon, and various others. In 2000, he founded Blue Dream Studios, which, in addition to creating its own line of kids' graphic novels, has produced work for Star Wars, The X-Files, Aliens vs. Predator, and other franchises. The studio's first feature film, Animal Crackers, is available on Netflix and was the summer of 2020's #1 animated movie in the world. I've read Scott's latest book, “Becoming an Artist: How to Make Art Like a Human by Embracing Failure, Discovering Your Creative Voice, and Finding Joy in the Process.” I found the very useful concepts of Becoming an Artist easy and fun to read while being highly inspirational for anyone seeking to become a finely tuned artist. Scott also produces videos online dedicated to his over 4 million followers where he talks about art, autism, and how to be both a kindlier artist and human. Scott's mission is to “make the world a kinder, gentler place, one story at a time.”

LOST IN TRANSLATOR—There are more than 7,000 languages in the world and there's a good chance that you don't speak or read most of them. Being an English-language speaker is, among other things, a huge privilege in this multilingual world because while it may not be the most widely spoken first language, English is the language that is most widely spoken.There's a chance that you can get by in English almost everywhere. And so English speakers tend not to learn other languages. To their detriment. (And to the resentment of others. But that's another story.)Not all of the world's 7,000 languages are robust enough to support their own media. But guess what—there's a lot of media in this world that isn't created in English. Enter Translator, a magazine of translated journalism and reportage from around the world for, “the open-minded and the language-curious.”And in a world where much of our media is controlled by fewer and fewer people, this kind of wider view of what others are saying and thinking is, perhaps, more necessary than ever. Maybe the only surprising thing about Translator is that it wasn't created … sooner.”—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

New to Endless Thread? Wooooo! We're revisiting some favorites from our archives to welcome you. First up: The cover art for the 1976 paperback edition of Madeleine L'Engle's classic, spooky sci-fi/fantasy novel "A Wrinkle in Time" — featuring a rainbow-winged centaur and a green, glowering, red-eyed face — is iconic. And yet, for nearly 50 years, no one has known who illustrated it. Well, not NO ONE. Not anymore... Endless Thread cracks the case!
