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.

Welcome back to a brand new season of Courage and Chaos! Today's episode kicks it all off with a very raw and honest chat about business sustainability- which is just a fancy way of saying how to make it through the tough times as an entrepreneur, and how to keep yourself going! I've broken today's episode down into four tough “phases” you may find yourself going through in your business, and how I navigated each one: from worldwide pandemics and the cost of living crisis to how to show up when it feels like the world is on fire, to working through grief and personal challenges (complete with a stint in burnout mode) and figuring out how to manage pregnancy, maternity leave, and returning to work. This episode is for anyone who is going through a tough time in their business or their life- it's real, it's raw and it's full of lessons learned the hard way and practical tips and advice you can apply, whatever situation you're in. I hope you'll find it helpful and relatable and feel a little less alone.   Thanks for joining the conversation!   Don't forget to like/follow the podcast to stay up to date on new episodes, and if you like what you hear please give us a share!

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.” 

Heinz Edelmann erfand den Look des Beatles-Films „Yellow Submarine”. Er schuf das Buch-Cover von Tolkiens „Herr der Ringe”. Doch er wollte mehr sein als ein Illustrator. Er sah Konzept, Bilder und Typografie als Ganzes. Das Graphik-Kabinett Backnang zeigt über 100 Werke des legendären Grafikdesigners.

Today I'm kicking off the week with some unconventional wisdom around finishing the year strong, and giving you permission to aim for a C-.

Hi Everyone, I interviewed Melissa Gardner, children's book author and illustrator. Melissa and I connected over a love of Kdrama's and kidlit art!Here is more about Melissa:When I was a little kid, I was always creating things. I remember making an entire family of bunny rabbits, complete with handsewn dresses, out of empty eggshells and cotton balls. I remember molding bits of clay and wood together to make teeny, tiny mouse houses that I would place all around my room. Most of of all, I remember the countless hours, laying on my bedroom floor, pouring over images from artists I loved. During those hours, Maurice Sendak and Gustav Klimt ‘taught' me how to paint, as I copied their works over and over- determined to reproduce the brilliance I saw. The funny thing is, that even though I deeply loved creating, I never imagined that art could be anything other than a well loved hobby. So I grew up, got married, got a dog, went to grad school and eventually started a psychotherapy practice in Boston, Massachusetts. I loved being a therapist because I loved helping people feel better, but I also felt a lot of stress and concern for many of my patients. The more stressful my work became, the more art I created on the side. Then 2018 came around, and my husband and I decided to take our family on a year long sabbatical.We packed up our belongings, rented out our condo and started an adventure that went from Switzerland, to Italy, to NYC, to Oregon and then we landed in California. All that travel and family time helped me reimagine my life and I finally embraced the inner creative in me. So, in 2019, I closed up my psychotherapy practice and we permanently moved to the West Coast of the US, where I became a full time artist, illustrator and storyteller. Now, I live in the glorious and rainy Pacific Northwest, with my husband, my two kids, our three dogs, and our 6 chickens. Most days, you can find me in my studio, painting and drawing, sipping coffee or tea, and taking frequent breaks to give my dogs all the scritches they desire.  Although the pandemic slowed my artmaking down temporarily (especially when my kids needed to be homseschooled!) I've still had wonderful opportunities to partner with others to make beautiful creations. My most recent collaborations have been with SCBWI, Cricket Media/Spider Magazine, the San Franscisco Symphony, Jehane Ltd and Nice Dog Books.Melissa's website Thanks for listening!

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.

HOLLYWOOD - Sarasota, Florida native Zaine Lodhi, was honored at the L. Ron Hubbard Achievement Awards Event in Hollywood as the grand prize winner in the Illustrators of the Future Contest earning him the Golden Brush Award trophy and a cash prize of $5,000 in addition to having his art published in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 38. Zaine is a 2018 graduate of Booker High School as well as a recent graduate of Ringling College majoring in Illustration. The awards event at the Taglyan Complex on April 8th was a black-tie gala honoring all the writer and illustrator winners as well as announcing the grand prize writer and illustrator winners. The official release of the anthology was April 12th. However, due to paper shortages, the trade paperback will be released on June 28th. In his acceptance speech, Zaine relayed to the nearly five hundred attendees, “I don't think I would have made it this far if it hadn't been for my girlfriend, Haley Burton, whom I'd like to thank. She would tell me, ‘You need to get better at managing your time. Just do it.' Thank you for encouraging me to stick with it. It means so much to me. From now on, every morning, I will continue to do what I do.” Zaine Lohdi was born in 1999 in the seaside tourist town of Sarasota, Florida. He feels as if his path as an illustrator was predestined—he has known the trajectory of his life since childhood. Zaine was surrounded by incredible fantasy art from a young age, collecting Magic: The Gathering cards and whatever comics he could get his hands on. The art of Frank Frazetta, Alex Ross, and Gerald Brom were pivotal in his stylistic development. Zaine is currently studying illustration with a visual development (concept art) focus at Ringling College of Art and Design. He placed the most importance on programs that value an unwavering work ethic and emphasize preparation for the workforce. He has a strong classical painting background fostered by professors who specialize in figure and landscape painting—he combines traditional painting and drawing skill sets with his visual library to produce concept art for games and film. Currently, he is a student freelance illustrator looking to join a studio and make a mark in the video game industry upon graduation. The Contest, one of the most prestigious illustrating competitions in the world, is currently in its 34th year and is judged by some of the premier names in speculative fiction. N. V. Haskell is an award winning speculative fiction writer. Her short fiction has appeared in numerous anthologies and magazines (please check out the publications link at the bottom) and she is a Writers of the Future winner, published in Volume 38. She is currently querying two novels and writing a third with plans to self publish a YA fantasy by the end of 2023. N. V. can be found at Comic Cons or Renaissance Fairs donned in her favorite costumes, reading multiple books at a time, running badly, travelling, or teaching yoga. She lives somewhere between civilization and haunted caves with her long-suffering spouse, rescue pets, and generations of squirrels that she can't help but feed. After many years in healthcare, she continues to be stubbornly (or foolishly) optimistic. Find out more at,... NVHaskell.com

AN ELEGY FOR THE ELITE—Michael Grynbaum is a correspondent for The New York Times, where he has covered media, politics, and culture for 18 years. He's reported on three presidential campaigns, two New York City mayors—they're always so boring—and the transformation of the media world in the Trump era. He lives in Manhattan and he's a graduate of Harvard.His first book, Empire of the Elite: Inside Condé Nast, the Media Dynasty that Reshaped America, was published by Simon & Schuster in June, 2025. In the book, Michael chronicles the origins of the company, its go-go boom days in the eighties and nineties, and its more recent post-print transformation into whatever Condé Nast is these days. We'll figure that out later.Michael's bestseller captured a lot of attention when it was published—it's a bestseller and it's the latest in the line of books by and about Condé Nast magazine makers—full of great anecdotes and good stories. The kind of stuff we love here on Print Is Dead (Long Live Print!), and it's extremely readable.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

A new picture book by a trio of well-known Twin Cities creatives tells the story of an American couple whose social justice writing and activism had wide-ranging influence. They were James Boggs, who was a Black union organizer in Detroit, and Grace Lee Boggs, a Chinese-American philosopher. When they got married in 1954, their interracial relationship was illegal in parts of the country.The new book about their lives is called "Revolutions Are Made of Love." It was written by Sun Yung Shin and Mélina Mangal and illustrated by Leslie Barlow. They spoke with MPR News' Emily Bright. The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis will host a book launch Saturday from 2-4 p.m. ahead of the book's release on Tuesday.

On this episode of #LatinosOutLoud #RachelLaLoca interviews award-winning Author and Illustrator, John Parra. The two chat it up about John's newest picture book about mindfulness and the Day of the Dead. THIS MOMENT IS SPECIAL follows a boy through all the moments of the day, both large and small, as he prepares for Día de Muertos . Told in both Spanish and English, this story is filled with family, love, and inspiration as we learn to slow down and live in the moments of life that make special memories. The belief of Dia de Muertos is that there is a moment when the world of the living and those that have passed on are in connection and celebrate these memories as one. ABOUT THE AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR John Parra's illustrations for Frida Kahlo and Her Animalitos, written by Monica Brown, earned the book a New York Times Best Illustrated Book designation. He also illustrated Green Is a Chile Pepper: A Book of Colors by Roseanne Thong, which received a Pura Belpré Honor and the Américas Book Award: Commended; Marvelous Cornelius: Hurricane Katrina and the Spirit of New Orleans by Phil Bildner, which won the Golden Kite Award for Picture Book Illustration and was a Bank Street Best Book of the year; and Hey, Wall, by Susan Verde, which School Library Journal called “a must-purchase” in a starred review.
