Wrestling with God: The Struggle That Forms Disciples Today's reading reflects on Jesus' words, “The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few,” . . . . . . emphasizing that the “harvest” refers not to the perfect or righteous, but to the broken, wounded, and lost . . . a world in desperate need of salvation. The Homily challenges the common, passive prayer for vocations, asserting that vocations do not arise from nothing; they come from a Church that is itself faithful, rooted, and committed to spiritual struggle. Jacob Wrestling and Its Lesson Drawing from the story of Jacob wrestling through the night and leaving with a limp, the Homily powerfully illustrates that authentic discipleship requires tenacity, struggle, and a willingness to hold fast to God even when it's difficult. True laborers in the Lord's harvest are formed in the soil of the Church, shaped by prayer, moral conviction, and fidelity. Only then can they reach out to others with strength and purpose. Ultimately, the homily challenges all to not just pray for vocations, but to live in such a way that they help create them. How? Listen more to this Meditation Media. Listen to: Wrestling with God: The Struggle That Forms Disciples ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote From The Homily And it's important that we recognize this because there's a certain naive way of hearing these words about the harvest and laborers that allows us very quickly to miss the point and the thrust of what Jesus is talking about here. It is not a harvest of the perfect, but a harvest of the broken. It is not a harvest of the found, but a harvest of the lost because without Christ, that is what the world is. Without Christ, that is what the human heart is. There are none that are healthy. There are none who are found. All are lost. All are wounded. All are guilty. This is the harvest, the world that needs saving. And so it is then that the Lord looks out at that tremendous need for salvation, this ocean of need that he says pray. Then ask the Lord of the harvest to send Laborers for the laborers are few. And again, we have to pause. What does it mean recognizing that the laborers are few, . . . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jacob Wrestling with the Angel: French Painter, Illustrator and Artist: Gustave Doré: 1855 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: Matthew 9: 32-38 First Reading: Genesis 32: 23-33

A LIFE OF SLICE—What happens when a pastry chef meets a magazine editor in Brooklyn? No, this isn't the setup for a joke that perhaps three people might ever find funny. But…what do you get when a pastry chef meets a magazine editor in Brooklyn?You get the start of a media brand and a movement and a community. In other words, you get Cake Zine.Started as a post-pandemic stab at reconnecting with the world, Cake Zine is the result of that meet-cute. Tanya Bush, the pastry chef, and Aliza Abarbanel, a magazine editor, took their love of sweets and have created a magazine that is kind of like what you might get if a literary magazine developed a sweet tooth.And threw great parties.Not just in Brooklyn, but in LA, and London, and Paris. And that might become, who knows, not just a new sort of literary salon, but an actual salon. Or cake shop/wine bar. Or a publisher.Tanya and Aliza have plans—perhaps too many—but for now, they are content with creating a smart and tasty magazine that blends fiction, essays, and recipes in a lovingly-blended, skillfully-layered cake.And. They. Have. Plans.But they are also realists and wise enough to know that you can't rush a soufflé. Lest it collapse. Much like these tortured, yeasty metaphors.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

Cornelia Funke ist eine der erfolgreichsten Kinder- und Jugendbuchautorinnen der Welt. Als Schülerin war ich fasziniert von Geschichten wie dem "Herrn der Diebe" oder "Tintenherz" und musste unbedingt auch so eine Bande haben wie "Die wilden Hühner". Eine Zeitlang wollte ich sogar auch Kinderbuchautorin werden, einfach, weil ich Cornelia so toll fand. Dann wurde es doch der Journalismus, aber genau der hat‘s möglich gemacht, dass ich mein Vorbild von früher jetzt tatsächlich einmal treffen durfte. Cornelia wohnt heute in der Toskana. In der Nähe von Volterra betreibt sie zwei Höfe: Auf einem wohnt und arbeitet sie selbst; einen weiteren - Mulinaccio - baut sie gerade aus, um dort Künstlerinnen, Naturschützer, Handwerkerinnen und Forschende zu beherbergen. Dort saßen wir für dieses Interview in der toskanischen Hitze, um uns herum wuselten ihre beiden Hunde und die aktuellen Stipendiatinnen. Wir haben darüber gesprochen, was für einen Einfluss solche Orte - oder generell, wo man lebt - auf den eigenen Charakter, auf die komplette Biografie haben können. Wie man erkennt, dass es Zeit ist, den Ort zu wechseln - und wie hoch der Preis dafür ist. Außerdem wollte ich unbedingt wissen, wie Cornelia es geschafft hat, sich einen kindlichen Blick auf die Welt zu bewahren. Den haben die meisten von uns als Erwachsene ja verloren, und das finde ich richtig schade. Es ging ums Sprachen Lernen, Cornelias scharfe Kritik am deutschen Schulsystem und ein Buch, das sie vielleicht bald mit Luisa Neubauer schreibt.

DÉPÊCHE MODE—Viscose Journal calls itself “a journal for fashion criticism” which sounds like a simple enough—and niche enough—premise for a magazine. Founded by Jeppe Ugelvig in Copenhagen and New York in 2021, Viscose has quickly become a vital touchpoint in the fashion world. And it has evolved into something far more complicated than what it still calls itself.In many ways, Ugelvig and his team have created a magazine that is a pure distillation of what a magazine can be. Because every issue of the publication is different—in form and shape and style. In other words, this is a magazine without a literal template. The first issue was called a “bagazine” and came in the form of a crocodile skin handbag. Another issue featured a garment label. And the current issue comes with a cover in the form of a cut-out of a perfume box. The magazine feels like “an ongoing thought process,” not just with the subject of fashion but with the idea of making a magazine itself. And in this sense, it is a mirror not just to the disciplined anarchy of the fashion industry but also into the making of an independent magazine in the 21st century. And that means thinking about the brand, about events, about audience, about the future as a media hub. And that's a lot of thinking.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, Jena Brown, and Kevin Tumlinson as they discuss the week's entertainment news, including stories about printing cost changes, the vicious cycle of book publishing, and BookCon's return. Then, stick around for a chat with Peter Brown!Peter Brown has always loved telling stories. Growing up in New Jersey, he told stories by drawing whimsical characters and scenes from his imagination. As a teenager, he fell in love with writing and began telling his tales with words. While studying illustration at Art Center College of Design, Peter's love of both words and pictures led him to take several courses on children's books, and before long he knew he'd found his calling. After graduating from Art Center Peter moved to New York City to be closer to the publishing industry. He was working on animated TV shows when he signed a book deal to write and illustrate his first picture book, Flight of the Dodo. Peter quickly signed up his second and third books, and his career as an author and illustrator of children's books was under way. Since then Peter has written and illustrated many books for children and earned numerous honors, including a Caldecott Honor, a Horn Book Award, two E.B. White Awards, two E.B. White Honors, a Children's Choice Award for Illustrator of the Year, two Irma Black Honors, a Golden Kite Award, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book Award and multiple New York Times bestsellers. Peter lives in Maine with his wife, Susan, and their dog, Pam.

THE GOING WAS VERY, VERY GOOD—I'm a writer and the former deputy editor of Vanity Fair. Now if you know anything about me, which statistically you don't, unless—shameless plug—you read my memoir, Dilettante, about my time at Vanity Fair and the golden age of the magazine business. Which, statistically, you didn't.The only reason I have a career at all is because of today's guest on Print Is Dead (Long Live Print). He hired me in the mid-nineties to be his assistant. Or as he likes to say, “rescued me off the scrap heap” and then, like gum on the bottom of his shoe, he could never seem to get rid of me.I'm talking of course about Graydon Carter, former editor of Vanity Fair, Spy, The New York Observer, and now co-editor and co-founder of Air Mail.He's here to talk about his memoir When the Going was Good—a title that, with signature understatement, suggests things were once better than they are now, which feels correct. But his book isn't just about magazines. It's about a time when media was glamorous and powerful and vital. When New York was still New York. When the world he had a hand in shaping still existed.It's not nostalgia, it's a public service, because Graydon didn't just edit and create magazines. He built worlds. He predicted the cultural weather. He made journalism feel essential, and more importantly, cool. I was lucky enough to work for him at Vanity Fair for almost 25 years, back when magazines mattered, when people still returned phone calls, and parties had seating charts instead of hashtags, when the media wasn't just people making videos about sandwiches, and when style wasn't a “brand CoLab,” and when you could still smoke indoors without a visit from HR.You know what? Hold on one second. “Hey! You kids get off my lawn!”Sorry. Graydon began as my boss, but quickly became a mentor, then a friend, and it's a friendship that continues to this day. So enjoy this conversation with Graydon Carter as he looks back on the chaos, the glamour, and the thrill of a better time. Back when, yes, the going was very, very good.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

Regina Linke was born and raised in Texas, and she always enjoyed the creative arts, but she didn't learn traditional Chinese painting until after moving with her young family to Taiwan in her mid-thirties. Holding management degrees from Washington University in St. Louis and Cornell University, she worked in marketing technology and information systems for the travel and tourism industry. Now, however, she creates and illustrates stories that celebrate East Asian folklore and philosophy in an accessible way. Her most notable creations are the characters from The Oxherd Boy, a single-panel, webcomic that started on Instagram. A young boy, his family ox, and a rabbit living in his garden convey the three core schools of Classical Chinese thought: Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. The best-selling collection of these inspirational pieces called THE OXHERD BOY: Parables of Love, Compassion, and Community released in 2024, and was followed in 2025 by its first original story for children called Big Enough. A second picture book, Little Helper expanding on this world is slated for release in Summer 2026.

NOTED. (RELENTLESSLY)—When a company publishes a magazine, or at least an “editorial” product, for whatever reason, it is called custom publishing. I have a long editorial background in custom. And custom has a surprisingly long history itself.How long?John Deere started publishing The Furrow in 1895. The Michelin Star started as a form of custom content: what better way to sell tires to monied Parisians than by enticing them to take a drive to the countryside to try a great restaurant?Amex Publishing famously published Travel + Leisure among other titles for decades. That in-flight magazine you once enjoyed on your flight overseas? That, too, is custom publishing.Now, after some down years, custom publishing is leaning waaaaay into print again.

Henrybuilt is not, however, a company that you would think is screaming for a magazine.But the qualities that make a great magazine—attention to detail and craft, the curation of ideas, hard work—are the very qualities that have made Untapped, a “design journal that looks back to look forward.” Led by editor-in-chief Tiffany Jow, Untapped is a smart, well-designed magazine that avoids the pitfalls of most design journals in being free of jargon and thus accessible.With an enviable level of editorial freedom, Jow has created an editorial product that richly explores livable spaces and champions “ideas-driven work.” The result is a growing media entity across platforms independent of Henrybuilt while hewing closely to its brand. It's good stuff.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

THE SYSTEM WORKS—When I decided to launch this podcast back in 2019, it didn't take me long to realize that I didn't want to do it alone. The first person I called? Today's guest, Debra Bishop.I've known Deb a little bit for a long time, but well enough to know her insight, humor, and world view would elevate every conversation we'd have. But also, and more importantly, she is without question one of the most consequential editorial designers working today. Deb has helped define the visual and structural DNA of some of the most iconic media brands of the last few decades, from Martha Stewart's Blueprint, to More Magazine, and now, to The New York Times for Kids.What sets Deb apart is not just her eye, but her mind. She's a master of creating editorial systems—cohesive, flexible frameworks that hold entire magazines together, giving them both structure and soul. Her designs guide readers effortlessly, creating rhythm, clarity, and a sense of trust.Deb never overdesigns or distracts—she amplifies. Her layouts are confident, elegant, quietly powerful, and often these days, lots of fun. And as a leader and mentor, she's shaped not just magazines but careers. She's helped raise the standard for what editorial design can be, and what a creative partnership should look like.Deb makes everything better: the work, the process, the people around her. Her influence is everywhere—including on this podcast—and I feel incredibly lucky to call her a friend and colleague.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

Guida Joseph is illustrator en schrijver. Ze studeerde aan de Rietveld Academie en maakte jarenlang illustraties voor kinderboeken. In 2020 verscheen ‘De rode draad', over het kampsyndroom van haar vader. Voor dat boek ontving ze de Holocaust Literatuur Prijs. Nu komt Joseph met het boek 'Enkele reis Sobibor', over de briefkaarten die haar grootmoeder schreef tijdens de oorlog. Ze werd in 1943 gedeporteerd en ging op zoek naar haar zoon, de vader van Joseph. De kaarten die zij schreef, gooide zij uit de trein naar haar familie om te beschrijven wat zij zag, voelde en dacht. Vanaf 6 juni is in het Kunstkabinet van het Joods Museum een presentatie te zien van haar werk ‘Drie generaties – drie stemmen'. Hierin beschouwt en bewerkt Joseph de oorlogservaringen van haar Joodse vader en grootmoeder, en hoe die doorwerken in haar eigen leven. De presentatie bevat onder andere werk uit ‘De rode draad' en ‘Enkele reis Sobibor'. Atze de Vrieze gaat met Guida Joseph in gesprek.

When it came to writing a second book, Osher hadn’t lived enough since the extra bits were added to the second edition of his memoir to write another memoir based on only five years. Instead, he wrote the book he wished he had during times when his mental health wasn’t doing well. It’s the kind of book one grabs when they’ve tried everything else but still feel stuck, or they’re trying to understand how someone they care about keeps going in circles, and things seem to be getting worse. It’s specifically written for people who aren’t used to asking for help or are concerned that asking for help might impact them negatively. To ensure the book is as powerful as possible, Osher worked with an eminent Australian psychologist to make sure all the messages and techniques are legitimate. Some of the content is quite complicated, so to make things easier to understand, he wanted to use illustrations. While Osher isn’t bad at sketching, he isn’t an artist. There was only one artist Osher wanted to work with, someone who could understand what he was trying to do and who would get the concepts he wanted to put on the page. That person is the legendary Campbell Walker aka @struthless69, who joins us today. Pre-order “So What?

We start off with a destination in mind, and we start thinking of our route, our game plan and how we're going to get there.
