A história completa de um dos políticos mais importantes e mal compreendidos do Brasil.No programa de hoje, recebemos a jornalista, escritora e pesquisadora Karla Monteiro para uma conversa definitiva sobre Leonel Brizola — o líder que marcou gerações, transformou o Rio Grande do Sul e o Rio de Janeiro, e se tornou uma das figuras mais emblemáticas da esquerda brasileira.Leonel de Moura Brizola (1922-2004) foi governador do Rio Grande do Sul e do Rio de Janeiro, fundador do PDT, herdeiro político de Getúlio Vargas e João Goulart, e o único político brasileiro a ter dois partidos cassados pela ditadura militar (PTB e PDT). Mas quem foi, de fato, Brizola? O que ele representou para o Brasil? E por que sua memória ainda provoca paixões e controvérsias?Karla Monteiro, autora da biografia "Brizola: A História de um Líder" — resultado de anos de pesquisa e entrevistas com familiares, aliados e adversários —, traz para o "20 Minutos" uma análise completa e sem filtros sobre o homem que ousou desafiar o regime militar, lutou pela legalidade e sonhou com um Brasil mais justo.Receba as notícias e análises de Opera Mundi no seu WhatsApp!

Uma análise urgente sobre a crise institucional que pode redefinir a democracia brasileira.No programa de hoje, recebemos o advogado, jurista e um dos maiores especialistas em direito público e eleitoral do Brasil, Rui Falcão.

De um lado, decisões que enfrentam a desinformação, o golpismo e a violência política. Do outro, acusações de ativismo judicial, extrapolação de competências e tensionamento com o Legislativo. Em meio a isso, a confiança da população na mais alta corte do país oscila, e o fantasma da instabilidade institucional ronda o processo eleitoral.O que está em jogo, de fato? A democracia brasileira está ameaçada por um colapso institucional? O STF pode se tornar o árbitro final das eleições?

A trajetória completa de um dos personagens mais contraditórios da história política brasileira.No programa de hoje, recebemos o jornalista, escritor e biógrafo Mario Magalhães para desvendar a vida e a obra de Carlos Lacerda — o homem que foi comunista na juventude, inimigo ferrenho de Getúlio Vargas, articulador do golpe de 1964 e, ironicamente, cassado e perseguido pela ditadura que ajudou a criar.Carlos Lacerda é uma figura que desafia rótulos simplistas. De revolucionário a golpista, de defensor da liberdade a censor implacável, de aliado dos militares a vítima do regime que ajudou a instaurar. Quem foi, afinal, esse personagem que marcou profundamente o século XX brasileiro?Mario Magalhães, autor da biografia "O Homem do Sapato Branco: A vida de Carlos Lacerda" — resultado de mais de uma década de pesquisa e centenas de entrevistas —, traz para o "20 Minutos" uma análise definitiva sobre o político que mudou os rumos do Brasil.Receba as notícias e análises de Opera Mundi no seu WhatsApp!

A história do crime que chocou o Brasil e nunca foi totalmente explicado.No programa de hoje, recebemos o jornalista, escritor e cronista Xico Sá para revisitar um dos episódios mais sombrios e mal explicados da história política brasileira: o assassinato de Paulo César Farias, o PC Farias.Na madrugada de 23 de junho de 1996, PC Farias — o todo-poderoso tesoureiro da campanha de Fernando Collor de Mello e figura central do escândalo que levou ao impeachment do presidente em 1992 — foi encontrado morto em sua mansão em Maceió, ao lado da namorada, Suzana Marcolino. A versão oficial: crime passional, seguido de suicídio. Mas as circunstâncias nunca convenceram a opinião pública, a imprensa e boa parte dos investigadores.Quem mandou matar PC Farias? O que ele sabia que não podia ser revelado? Por que o caso foi arquivado tão rapidamente? E o que a morte do homem que sabia demais revela sobre os porões da política brasileira?Receba as notícias e análises de Opera Mundi no seu WhatsApp!

This week on the CWW Jim and KJ bring you the crime news headlines and they start with a California high school football booster treasurer accused of draining more than $411,000 from the team that trusted her with the books—money prosecutors say went to a mortgage and credit cards while she sent the board cooked reports. In Massachusetts, three jurors from the Lindsay Clancy trial break their silence after the mistrial, walking through the 11–1 deadlock, the holdout who admitted reasonable doubt and still would not vote not guilty by reason of insanity, and the evidence that left the rest of the panel convinced she had snapped. In St. Petersburg, a woman pumping gas is set on fire by a stranger after she refuses to hand over cash; Eleanor Crawford now faces attempted murder and arson. And in Chicago, a 15-year-old girl is charged with first-degree murder after police say she and two others pushed Kyle Bickham from a moving CTA Red Line train.We also take you inside You Can See Everything, the surprise documentary that followed Elizabeth Holmes in the weeks before she reported to prison—and the questions it raises about whether the Theranos founder has changed at all. A retired Pennsylvania priest is accused of stealing about $740,000 from churches, parishioners, and his own mother. Kim Zolciak's 15-year-old son, KJ Biermann, is in custody on serious sex-crime charges his family says he denies. In North Carolina, a state trooper is indicted for first-degree murder after a love triangle with another cop ends with a sheriff's captain dead in a front yard. A Swamp People star is booked in Louisiana on felony theft after a raid in Bayou Blue. And a former Colorado crime-lab analyst is sentenced to 10 years for manipulating DNA data in hundreds of cases—work that helped vacate at least one murder conviction and left sexual-assault files gutted.In Overtime: a Baton Rouge woman's mugshot takes off online; the hunt continues in California for a father and his 14-year-old daughter after a newborn is found dead on a roadside; Georgia police want a man they say snuck into a stranger's hot tub, spent more than 10 minutes “intensely interacting” with a rubber duck, and rode off with a pile of towels; and in Sacramento, a woman who reported months of stalking—AirTags, a copied apartment key, a restraining order—is gunned down in a parking lot by the man who would not stop.Theft, fire, a train platform, a jury room that never quite closed, and a few stories that sound made up until the charging documents land.

In this Margin Notes episode of the #amwriting podcast, host Jennie Nash talks with book coach and author Stuart Wakefield about approaching marketing as a creative project by making joyful “artifacts” that expand a story world rather than simply asking readers to buy a book. Wakefield shares his creative background, a past period when his creative practice stopped, and how he now immerses himself in projects tied to his latest novel, All Hands on Dick, set in 1956 aboard the cruise ship SS Celestial. Stuart describes the book's comedic, queer, mid-century influences and its characters, explains creating items like a 3D-printed ocean liner and a hand-cut 10-inch vinyl record featuring AI-assisted big band songs, and discusses building an animated music video. Nash also previews upcoming episodes with Wakefield on using the Blueprint method to develop a series, as he launches his trilogy A Gay Odysea.#AmWriting is a reader-supported publication.

Hi, everyone. This is Margin Notes, the part of the podcast where we're talking about the big decisions writers face in their work or creative lives.I'm here today to talk with Stuart Wakefield about making marketing a creative project. And you've heard from Stuart before. He has coached on the podcast, and we'll link to that episode in the show notes. He also will be in episodes to come, which we'll talk about in a moment, and Stuart is a fascinating individual who's had a long career in all kinds of things, including TV writing, playwriting, a long stint in IT.What? [00:01:00] And, and now Stuart works with me at Author Accelerator, and he runs his own book coaching business at thebookcoach.co. Welcome, Stuart.Stuart: Thank you for having me, Jennie. I'm really excited to talk to you today.Jennie: I'm excited too. This is such a, such a interesting topic. So the reason this came up is that Stuart launched a new book, which he'll tell you about in a moment, which is part of a series, which he'll tell you about in a moment, and I started seeing out on social media just all this really fun content that he was producing.And obviously then I would get to talk to him at work, and I- he just would have so much joy, and then he would say, “Oh, let me show you this other thing.” And when I talk about fun content, I'm talking about, like, music videos, cartoons, animated [00:02:00] little shorts. He wrote a song. He, he's writing a music video. He 3D printed a ship.He printed a vinyl record. I mean, it's bonkers. And so I just wanted to dig into this about what are you doing, and why is it creating so much joy, and what can we learn from it? So that's what we're here to talk about.Stuart: Oh, oh, oh. Right. Okay. So, so in, in my creative practice, I have always enjoyed... You know, I started acting when I was five, um, so I've always been in kind of around the theater, even when my kind of IT career and project management career was all kind of going on.So I've always enjoyed that. I, um, started a, a- A degree in fashion design. Um, after a year at art college, I, you know, carried on acting and then had a break in 2003. Uh, if I'm really honest with you, I had a breakdown and- Yeah ... m- [00:03:00] my creative practice just stopped. And about six years later in 2009, I started writing.And you know, I've always been a creative person, and I've always been a storyteller, and I tend, but I tend to do it in a very short, concise way. So the shortest piece of fiction I've sold was 50 words.Jennie: That's short.Stuart: Right. Okay. So I, um- Have had like a, a side art project. It's called The Queer Historian of Emotional Truths.Um, and there is a website that sits with that, and the idea is that the queer historian has found artifacts, um, and he is curating those and sharing those on the website, and they might be voicemails, they might be found photos, found objects. And when I got my... So I really love that kind of very small to- storytelling, those, those really poignant moments, [00:04:00] as opposed to great big, long stories.Um, I recently s- sold a story to Divine Femins- Feminine Publishing as well, um, which is again, it's cozy sci-fi, but it's very much the small kind of human moments.Jennie: Right.Stuart: And I found that after writing this book, I became so invested in the world that I wanted to do small art projects that kind of lived within that world.So that's where this has come from. I, I don't see it as marketing. I see it as telling those smaller stories within that wider world that really convey the joy that not only have I got from writing that, that work, but I think lives on after the reader closes and reads that last, that last page and then closes the book.Jennie: Well, this is why it's so exciting and inspiring to me, because so often when writers talk about marketing or think about marketing, they're thinking [00:05:00] about, “Buy my book. Buy my book. Buy my book,” and that's not at all where you're coming from. I suspect... Well, with this current project, it's, it's brand new, but I suspect that that's where it's gonna go, right?That it's impossible to imagine sh- that you're gonna share all these creative acts and artifacts and not get people... I was gonna say on board, but that's gonna be like- The, it's a- ItStuart: is set follow... It's set on board a, a ocean liner. Right. So on, on board is great.Jennie: Right? Like the, how could those two things not happen?That, I guess what I'm getting at is I, I often think that the results people want don't usually come from the path that they think is gonna get them there. Right. The results come from doing the work you love, writing the story you want, and in your case, making this a creative project. Do you- Yes ... do you think that's [00:06:00] true?Stuart: Yeah. You know, very much so, and I was discussing this with a marketing book coach, uh, Rebecca Grogan.Jennie: Mm-hmm.Stuart: Highly recommend her to any romance writer. So that's beckythebookcoach.com, and, you know, we got talking about creative projects and how much I don't really like marketing. I always thought it was a very British thing not to like marketing, but the more and more US writers I, I meet and fellow coaches, again, you know, marketing can feel like something unsavory.Jennie: RightStuart: And what I really want to do is show people these cool things I've made and invite them very much into the world. Because what I do in any of my creative writing projects, I have objects that represent what I'm writing on my desk. So, um, I have a book that's set in 1907, so I got [00:07:00] artifacts from, from that time.I have a book that's set, well hopefully coming out in a few months, which is, uh, set in Madrid in 1958, and one of the characters works in a print shop. So I have wooden blocks, wooden printing blocks that spell out this character's names. So-Jennie: Oh,Stuart: that'sJennie: so cool.Stuart: So as I switch from project to project, I bring those things and put those onto my desk, and I just find it helps me get into that head space-Jennie: YeahStuart: and that emotional connection.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: So because I still have a, a very strong emotional connection to what it is that I've just published, and I know there are two more books coming, I really wanted to sit and kind of immerse myself in that world. And the first object I created was this 3D printed ocean liner, because that has what has been sitting on my desk while I've been writing this first book.Jennie: So when you say you 3D printed it, how did you go about [00:08:00] that?Stuart: Okay, so I-Jennie: Oh, and, and let's just describe, since people can't see it. It's, it's about like eight inches, 10 inches? Uh, yeah, yeah. So- And it's... Is it made of plastic?Stuart: Yeah. So it's 3D printed, uh, so it's kind of a, a resinous kind of plastic that's- Yeahjust melted as it comes through the head. And yeah, so I found, uh, a model online, and then I... My comput- my computer modeling is not great. It's one of the few things that I'd see that I don't really, you know, have a skill at. So I contacted a friend and said, you know, “Can you modify this for me? Um, can you change the name on the side of the ship?”‘Cause the model that was already there, um, had a different name. And yeah, you know, we, we worked on the look and the feel, and then when we were ready, we found someone else to, to actually print it up. So for me, it's just a lovely object, and I know I'm going to be able to take it to book fairs. There's one coming up at the end of September- So I have little [00:09:00] wooden life rings, we have ship's rope, I have a reception bell.Um, so all of these artifacts, again, when s- if somebody comes to my stand at the book fair, they will be walking into the world of the SS Celestial.Jennie: That's so fun. Okay, so let's, let's talk about the, this, the ship and what happens on the ship and the story and the whole thing, ‘cause it's just too much fun.So it's, um, set in 1956 on a cruise ship. The name of the book is called All Hands on Dick, and it is currently out. So why don't you tell us about first All Hands on Dick, and then the series that it, um, begins?Stuart: Okay. So All Hands on Dick follows cruise director Dick Dockery, and Dick is one of those people that puts the passengers' needs before his own.So, and he is very good at his job But on the voyage from New York to Bermuda, [00:10:00] a slightly seedy kind of underground guy with a reputation called Van Valentine boards the ship. And Van very quickly identifies that what Dick is doing, that he's fulfilling everybody's needs but his own. So throughout a...It's very much a comedy of manners. So throughout that and some farcical moments and lots of beautiful sub-stories, um, Dick eventually learns that being needed is not the same as being loved.Jennie: Very, very, uh, profound message in a very fun setting. So some of the other characters, tell us about some of these other characters.Stuart: Okay. So we have, uh, newlyweds, uh, Buck and Kitty Devereaux. And Buck seems very nervous in his marriage, so one of the kind of mysteries is what is Buck hiding? And then eventually we start to learn that actually Kitty might be hiding some- something as well. We have [00:11:00] Aurelia Cashmere, who is a sort of a, a grande dame, I guess.She, she's first class. Um, she has come on board with a secret that she's going to reveal something when they get to Bermuda. We have, uh, Tony's sidekick, uh, Bunny Marlowe. We have a steward who seems to know everything called Tony Two Towels. We have a light-fingered magician called Pip Larkin. Um, and- ThisJennie: is just so great.And you s-Stuart: And then lounge singer... Sorry, then we have a l- a lounge singer called Rex Devereaux. Uh, and he has a on-off affair with his piano player, Joey Lamplight.Jennie: Okay. So you shared with me that, um, you loved The Love Boat, the, the TV show, right? Oh,Stuart: it's one of my... It, it's just fantastic. And I, I tell you what happened, I love the movie An Affair to Remember-Jennie: Mm-hmmStuart: with Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant. [00:12:00] And you know, I was... My mom loved kind of ‘40s, ‘50s movies. So she kind of introduced me to those when I was growing up, ‘cause I was born in the early ‘70s. So you know, sh- I was kind of weaned on, on movies by watching those. And I loved watching The Love Boat, and more recently...I say recently, it's a few years old now, but the movie Down with Love, uh, with Renee Zellweger.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: And I watched that and it reminded me of the Doris Day, Rock Hudson kind of sex comedies.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: So the vision for All Hands on Dick and the series that it fits into, um, very much came from those, those influences, and the love of, of the, all of those things.Jennie: Well, and it has that, and has that feel. So we'll talk about the whole series in a minute, but some of the other things that you made artifacts that you made, uh, well, there was a song and then there was a record, [00:13:00] and then there was a music video. So how much time have you spent making all these things?Stuart: I, I, I think, I think that wh- what, what happened was, I, I, I'd finished the book and I w- I was, I, something had happened.I think, I think an old Drifters song came up on my, um, Irene's, uh, list, and I'd been listening to... We have a, a TV, um, advert that's on in the UK that, uh, has the song, um, Beyond the Sea.Jennie: Oh, sure, sure.Stuart: It's Bobby... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I was, “Oh, okay.” So I knew that Rex, the lounge singer, one of his storylines is that there's a song that he can't sing.Jennie: Oh.Stuart: It is too emotional for him, and he's desperately trying to get his career back on track and, but there's this one song that he just cannot sing, but it's one of the most powerful songs that could potentially bring his [00:14:00] career back. And I'd been thinking about songs and, you know, again, my mom was just a very, very funny wom- woman and, you know, we would make songs up together.And I wrote some jokey lyrics, uh, called, for a big band number sung by Bunny, called Everybody Needs Dick. And, and, you know, uh, you, the lyrics are, are, you know, a bit silly here and there, but, uh, I just had fun with it.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: You know? So none of this was planned. Um, now I know some people are gonna be really anti-AI, and I, I totally get that, but this was for my personal consumption.So I put those lyrics into an, a, an AI and said like, “Can you write a big band, you know, backing track to go with this?” Just as an experiment, and what came out just really took me by surprise. So-Jennie: It's amazing. I mean, it sounds like a fully produced Andrews Sister song.Stuart: Yes, yes. Love The [00:15:00] Andrews Sisters.Yeah. And then I got thinking about Rex's song, and I thought, “What kind of avoidant thing would Rex sing?” So I wrote some lyrics for that and, um, again, put it into the same AI, AI, and it came out with a couple of versions, and one of them immediately made me start to cry. Oh, no. And I thought, “Okay, if I have an emotional connection to this song, then I need to do something with these tracks.”So I'd been kind of living in the world of the SS Celestial, which is the, the ship that the story is set on, and got to thinking about kind of souvenirs and, and would the ship sell souvenirs, and what kind of things might they sell? And I thought, “Okay, if I'm gonna have an object that's all my own, then as my kind of reward for finishing the book,” I thought, “wouldn't it be great to have a vinyl record?”So then I get into researching how much music can you get on, you know, a seven-inch, a 10-inch, [00:16:00] 12-inch record. Settled on a 10-inch record because, um, Rex's song is six minutes. It won't sit on the seven-inch. Then I had to do my research. You know, were 10-inch singles available in the US in the 1950s? Turns out they still were.Um, then I got to designing the record covers and the labels. I found a company in, uh, the, in London who handcraft. So rather than press a record, they hand-cut it.Jennie: Oh,Stuart: wow. Um, found a company to do that. And yeah, you know, a week later I had in my hands a, a, a 10-inch record, and that is just for my personal consumption, but, you know, I will share that on,um, you know,uh, social media. I will play parts of the record on social media. And yeah, that's where I kind of got to in there, and I just wanted to share with people like, “Oh, look, I made this cool thing.”Jennie: Yeah, yeah.Stuart: And-Jennie: I mean, it's so cool, and [00:17:00] when... We'll share, hopefully, uh, uh, cover a picture of the, um, m- the, uh, record so, in the show notes so people can see.But when, when you share it and talk about it, again, you're just filled with so much joy, like a kid. Yeah. Like, “Look at this.” Yeah. “Look at what I made.” And that has to feel really good, right?Stuart: It, it really, really does. And, and, you know, my family, immediate and wider, are going through some really difficult times at the moment.We started kind of March last year, and, um, I won a, a, a grant from the Arts Council here in the UK to, to really help me kind of zone in on my playwriting.Jennie: Right.Stuart: And a full-length play that I've written is, it's very dark, and it deals with some very dark kind of, uh, themes and issues. And a friend of mine had said to me, she said, “There's something wrong with you.There's, [00:18:00] there's, like, this little light that has gone out.”Jennie: Oh.Stuart: And she said, “I think you should get back to writing comedy.” Um, when I wrote for TV, that was comedy. Um, my last full-length novel, you know, had lots of comedic stuff going on. Um, and she's like, “Why don't you, you consider going back to comedy?”She'd read a lot of my writing when I was doing my master's degree, and she said, “I, I really think you need that, that kind of lift.” So when I was thinking about what to write, I was like, “Okay, I need to do something that, that just really sits with me.” I'm not... You know, writing a novel is a big commitment, and you need to be around people that you kind of really love.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: And I wanted these people to- So many queer stories I think are written from a place of trauma.Jennie: Mm-hmm.Stuart: And I really wanted a group of people who had relatively low stakes threat, but [00:19:00] could really live and breathe in their environment and find joy. And that's exactly as passengers are disembarking at the end of this, this book, that's, you know, there is hope and there is joyJennie: And I imagine that's what you want your reader to feel.Stuart: Um, uh, a- absolutely. I've absolutely written it for people who, you know, to take on a take on a cruise- Right ... or read on the beach. And, you know, I think it's fair to say that, you know, politically and, um, literally the world is on fire, right?Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: Yeah. You know, we're seeing huge fires all over, you know, we're seeing political, just appalling political stuff.And I, and I just thought I, I need this story and I need these people, and I think other people out there need just some fun and some joy and some lightness.Jennie: So tell me about, um, right before we r- started [00:20:00] recording, you said you were almost finished with the music video. Tell me about that.Stuart: Right. Okay. So, uh, Everybody Needs Dick is a huge, joyous, big band number, and I was creating a little short animation to go on, um, social media, and also I wanted the challenge of learning something new from an IT point of view.Jennie: Mm-hmm.Stuart: And it kind of grew, ‘cause I was putting some music to the, the reel on Inst- on Instagram, and I just thought, “Hmm, this could... Like, I really like the results of what I've been able to animate here. Like, maybe this could be something bigger.” And I used to work for Turner Broadcasting Systems, which is now, like, part of Warner Brothers Discovery.Was there for about three years working mainly on the Cartoon network side, and I did some work with the animators of The Amazing World of Gumball, which is a very [00:21:00] popular show, um, in the US, and I kind of thought, like, maybe there's something in this. Maybe I could put all of the Everybody Needs Dick story into, like, an MGM musical number.Jennie: Right.Stuart: And like, so again, it, it captures the look and the feel and the tone of the joy of the book as well. So I'm 40 seconds away from finishing. It takes about an hour to get 14 kind of decent seconds. And I... But I'm, I'm exhausted, but what's keeping me going is watching it over and over again and feeling emotional, feeling that emotional connection to the relationships that are developing, even just through the video i- itself.Jennie: Right. AndStuart: what- So again, for me, it's just immersive.Jennie: What, um... When you approach Something like that, and you, you know, obviously we're all, uh, learning, if any of us listening use AI for [00:22:00] various things, we're all learning as we go d- because it's so new. How do you approach the technology side of it? Like, in addition to the creative part, you have to figure things out, right?Figure out how to do it.Stuart: Yeah. I mean, you know, I spend a lot of time engineering prompts for all different sorts of things. So for my own writing, um, I have a prompt that runs through my chapters and looks at all of the nasty habits that I have.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: And I was talking to another coach the other day, and I was like, “Let me, let me just do a quick word count.”And that search, that, um, AI prompt, is 9,510 words.Jennie: Wow.Stuart: So I might have spent a long time working on that, that prompt, but it really helps me sit back, look at my chapters, really understand what's working and what's not working, and then from my past mistakes and patterns of writing, it helps me see those and that I've fallen back into to some of those [00:23:00] habits.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: So, you know, I, I like to think I'm relatively good. Um, but again, some of the graphics that I was using on Instagram were... They were by real people.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: And I thought, “Well, that's not really the kind of look I'm after. I'm kind of after that... For the, for the video, I'm after that mid-century American illustrated look that is somewhere between J.C.Leyendecker's illustrations of the sort of ‘20s, and the illustrations that you would expect to see in an American magazine in the mid-'50s.”Outro: Right.Stuart: So I worked and worked and worked, you know, with an AI tool on getting the look right, and then locking that look in. Then I was able to take the images from Instagram and say, “Okay, what would those character models look like if they were in dr- had been drawn in this style?”So again, we worked through those looks, um, you know, how smooth their skin was, what the kind of folds in their clothes should look like. [00:24:00] You know, we did a lot of work on that, and then it was really down to the things that I kind of learned at Warner Brothers and watching the extras on DVDs about storyboarding, um, the animations, and then really teaching myself the best way to use, um, the AI that I was using to get the best kind of effects out of it.And I- So it sound- You know... Hmm.Jennie: It, it sort of sounds like play.Stuart: It is. It really is. And I, you know, I, I love learning. I loved learning to be a book coach. I'm always doing some kind of course, whether it be creative or, you know, to do with writing. And, you know, I like a challenge, and teaching- Yeah ... me this new technology, I mean, I'm 54, and, you know, there's always that risk that the kids are gonna com- going to kind of overtake you.Jennie: Sure. Uh,Stuart: but I'm very curious about the world. You know, I l- I like my K-pop. I'm very excited today ‘cause Hatsize, you know, new EP is out. Um, I've had many a conversation with a 13-year-old who's just shocked that I know anything about K-pop- ... [00:25:00] let alone I'm kind of into different bands. So, you know, I'm interested in, in pop culture and learning new technologies and, you know, it has been a huge, huge challenge for me to do this.But again, it's playing in this world, and I've also noticed as I'm doing these other creative projects, because I'm still mentally in the world, some of the stories for the later books are, are coming to me.Jennie: Yeah. Yeah. So let's talk about the series. At what point did you decide that All Hands on Dick was going to be a series?Stuart: Pretty much from the beginning. I-Jennie: Okay ...Stuart: I, I... So the series is called A Gay Odyssey, and that's- AndJennie: it's, I have to spell it. It's- Yeah ... O-D-Y-S-E-A.Stuart: Yes. So it- it's A Gay Odyssey, and I call it, like, a naughty cal adventure. So- So, you know, I, I very much saw this as the ship as a [00:26:00] container.Jennie: Mm-hmm.Stuart: Okay? Quite literally.Right. But also like a story engine.Jennie: Right.Stuart: So I thought this is, this is a world in miniature, and I wanted to have one overarching love story that covers all three books. But like The Love Boat, I wanted that episodic nature to it as well, because I knew I wanted to bring in different characters and different crew.So A Gay Odyssey is, it's a trilogy of mid-century American queer romantic novels that also examine, uh, the life we live as performance as well as the life we live in private.Jennie: Mm-hmm. So that's where the, the lounge singer and the piano player, the literal- Yeah ... performers and the magician, as well as the just regular people who are performing different roles and things.Ab-Stuart: a- absolutely. You know, Buck is, is performing kind of the dutiful husband, and that's clearly not what's going [00:27:00] under, on under the surface. And, you know, Kitty is very much wanting to go out, you know, understand what's w- I want to say in quotes, “wrong with him.”Jennie: Right.Stuart: And yet Kitty starts to believe that actually she might not entirely be the person she thinks she is.So again, it's, some of it's around self-discovery, um, and some of it is just how you move in the world when the world is telling you you shouldn't be who you are. I mean, it's coming off the back of the Lavender Scare- Mm-hmm ... in the US, um, that Eisenhower signed in 1953 where queerJennie: people-Stuart: I'm not familiar withJennie: that.Stuart: Oh, okay. So I think it was Order 105410or s- or, or something. But Eisenhower signed it, signed it in 1953, and it basically meant that nobody, no gay man or lesbian could work in a federal job.Jennie: Oh, I, I was not aware of that.Stuart: So, you know, thousands and thousands of people were put [00:28:00] out of employment in the US. Wow. So it's coming off the back of that Lavender Scare, um, and it was very much treated like they were a security risk.Jennie: Wow. Um, I'm not gonna get really deep into the series because you and I are gonna do a deep dive on, uh, series development. Um, and for our listeners, Stuart is obviously, um, I would say one of the world's foremost experts on my blueprint method. H- how's that for a title?Stuart: That's very kind of you.Jennie: Um, he teaches it, he coaches it, he holds the high bar for certification that we have at Author Accelerator around the blueprint and other things.But one of the things that he has really done is, is to do a very deep dive on understanding how to use the blueprint [00:29:00] to develop a series, and how you think about one book, how you think about the whole series, the, the order of things, the, the way this tool can be used in this way, and his work on this is, uh, blew me away truly.So I've asked Stuart to come back onto the podcast, and we're going to do a series of two, uh, podcasts, where in one we're gonna talk about the overview of how to use the blueprint to develop a series, and it can be any genre, uh, any- Mm-hmm ... fictional genre, and then we're gonna do a second podcast on ... Now I can't remember what it was, but I think it wasOh, the story engine, and you, and you referenced that with, for your series, the, the ship and, and this container and how to develop a story engine. [00:30:00] And this will also all lead to a special offer to work directly with Stuart on a series, so, um, using the blueprint. So all of that, I'm making all these big promises.I hope they all come true.Stuart: They will. They will.Jennie: Um, all of this is just, uh, laying the groundwork for, for folks who are interested in designing, developing, building a series, and, um, doing it with somebody who has this incredible creative and playful mind, and you can get a sense of the way Stuart thinks and, and works and, um, of the things that he makes.Uh, can you tell us, Stuart, w- if people wanna read All Hands on Deck right now, where can they go? If people wanna find you, and how on earth can they see and hear all this cool stuff you've made? Tell us all the things.Stuart: Okay. [00:31:00] So, uh, in terms of, obviously you can find me at thebookcoach.co. On Instagram, I'm Mr.S Wakefield. Um, so that's where you'll be able to see where I share the cool things that I've made. Um, and then in terms of buying, I mean, all good bookstores. I've already had some, some podcast listeners of mine send me pictures of them holding their, uh, books in, you know, American bookstores, which is fantastic to see.Uh, so yeah, you know, everywhere that you can buy a book. It's not just Amazon, boo, hiss. Um, you know, you should be able to get it in all, all, you know, good, good bookstores.Jennie: Excellent. So, uh, say your, say that Instagram again, just so people can hear.Stuart: Uh, it's Mr. S Wakefield.Jennie: Okay, great. Well, um, we have much more to talk about, and we, and we will be talking about, but this was just so fun to hear your process and this, um, this sense of marketing as a [00:32:00] creative project.And it'll be really fun to follow along and check in with you in our next episodes about where all of this stands as well.Stuart: Great. Thank you.Jennie: Thanks for joining us, Stuart.Stuart: Okay. Take care, Jennie. Bye.Jennie: And for our listeners, thanks for listening.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta sexta-feira (21/08/2026): Sob o argumento de que não há investigados com foro privilegiado, a Procuradoria-Geral da República pediu ao ministro do STF André Mendonça o envio à primeira instância dos inquéritos sobre suspeitas de tráfico de influência de Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, o Lulinha, filho do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). A manifestação da PGR ocorreu após a abertura dos inquéritos. A tendência é de que Mendonça negue o pedido, já que uma mudança no foro poderia prejudicar o andamento das investigações. Com isso, os inquéritos devem ser mantidos no STF até a conclusão. Caso Mendonça resolva manter as investigações na Corte, um eventual recurso à decisão será julgado na Segunda Turma. Além de Mendonça, compõem o colegiado Gilmar Mendes, Dias Toffoli, Luiz Fux e Kassio Nunes Marques. Em votações criminais, o relator tem contado com o apoio de Fux e Nunes Marques, mas ainda não houve julgamento de temas relativos a Lulinha na turma.

We are innovating with next-generation therapies, combinations, and technologies to deliver improved outcomes for people with cancer. From antibody drug conjugates and small molecules to cell therapy-based approaches, our portfolio and pipeline assets are creating new possibilities for people with cancer.Dr. Sara Tolaney, Chief of the Division of Breast Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, returns to Patient From Hell to explain the ASCENT-04/KEYNOTE-D19 study, the phase 3 trial she led as principal investigator, and what it changes for people living with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.For years, the most effective drugs for metastatic TNBC were only available after first-line chemotherapy had already failed. The problem, as Dr. Tolaney puts it plainly, is that many patients never reach a second line of treatment at all. ASCENT-04 asked whether moving an antibody-drug conjugate to the front, paired with immunotherapy, would change that. Median progression-free survival improved from 7.8 months to 11.2 months, and treatment responses lasted significantly longer.UPDATE: Since this recorded conversation, the FDA has acted on the data discussed in this episode. On May 22, 2026, Datopotamab Deruxtecan was approved for first-line metastatic TNBC in patients who are not candidates for immunotherapy. On June 24, 2026, Sacituzumab Govitecan was approved for first-line use both as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab for PD-L1-positive disease (CPS ≥10).

In St. Louis, it's common practice for bands to merge together and form new acts. The Grooveliner is no different. The nine-piece, powerfunk band — founded by Toby Mechem and Matt Vianello— released their latest album “Live From Your Mom's House” earlier this year. The tongue-in-cheek title highlights the band's sense of humor and the music exemplifies their immense talent and collaboration. Mecham and Vianello share the band's journey, wittiness, and pursuit finding the perfect voice to compliment their sound.

Tuesday is primary election day. The polls are open across the state until 8 p.m. MPR News reporters are out talking to voters, and will share what issues are standing out as voters choose candidates to send to the November election for governor, senator and other races. In St. Paul, voters may see a question on their November ballots about the right to repair for renters. A nurse practitioner is reconnecting with patients who were living in a homeless encampment that the City of St. Paul cleared last week. We'll hear from her about her work.Imagine 89,000 EV chargers in the Twin Cities metro. That's what's needed to keep up with demand, according to the Metropolitan Council. Is it heaven? Is it Iowa? We'll go to Major League Baseball's new “Field of Dreams.”Our Minnesota Music Minute was “Decision Day” by Field Report, and our Song of the Day was “Is It Far Or Is It Close” by Author.

Ralph welcomes Robert Reich (professor of Public Policy and former Secretary of Labor) to discuss his "Pledge to Make America Affordable Again." Then, Ralph speaks to Derek Shearer (former economic policy adviser and US Ambassador to Finland) about his recent work, "A Bold Economic Program for America."Robert Reich is Emeritus Professor of Public Policy at UC Berkeley. He has served in three national administrations, including as secretary of labor under President Bill Clinton. Mr Reich has written eighteen books, including The System: Who Rigged It, How We Fix It, The Common Good, Supercapitalism, and Coming up Short: A Memoir of My America. He is co-founder of Inequality Media, co-founder of the Economic Policy Institute, and co-founding editor of The American Prospect.Democrats have an opportunity now to talk to the working class about—and not just the working class, the middle class too—about prices, about affordability in ways that are terribly important and meaningful and that really could get prices down or at least stop the onslaught of inflation. And also that are very, very consistent with what we believe as Democrats, as progressives, as people who want to see the nation move back toward its pursuit of social justice.Robert ReichYou can bet that the right, the apologists for wealth in this country are going to say, “Oh, no, no, no, don't do that because wealthy people will leave the country!” I mean, what they always do reflexively is say, “If you do that, we'll leave.” And I say in California the same thing I would say about a national wealth tax—if they want to leave, let them leave. But they're not going to leave because there are so many advantages to staying in California in terms of: this is where a lot of the high tech talent actually is. This is where the infrastructure for high tech is already. The climate, as I talk to you, I'm looking at a beautiful day out here. You know, who wants to leave California? And if you are a billionaire, and you are just so intent on leaving California because of this one very, very minor tax, then frankly, goodbye.Robert ReichI am a believer, though, in the common sense of the American people. Now, if that makes me naive, if that makes me gullible, so be it. But I think at the end of the line, the bottom line here is that the American people will make a decision starting with the midterm elections coming up in just 96 days (something like that). And those elections are going to be critical in terms of trying to constrain Trump and the people, the sycophants and lapdogs behind him and Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and all these people who are ripping the social contract to shreds. And I think that the one way that (this brings us back to my pledge, my affordability pledge for Democrats), I think one way the Democrats can be sure to get the House back and maybe even possibly the Senate in 96, 97 days, is to pledge to make America affordable again. And using these 10 particular steps that are widely, widely supported.Robert ReichDerek Shearer served as the US Ambassador to Finland from 1994 to 1997. Previously, he worked in government at the national, state, and local levels, including the founding board of directors of the National Consumer Cooperative Bank in 1978 and Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs in 1993. He is emeritus Chevalier Professor of Diplomacy and World Affairs at Occidental College and Diplomat in Residence at Occidental for 2025-26. During the 1992 presidential campaign, Ambassador Shearer was a senior policy adviser to Bill Clinton and helped to write the campaign's economic program, Putting People First. He has continued this policy work by co-authoring the comprehensive proposal A Bold Economic Program for America and exploring its political path forward in his recent article, Planning for the Day After Trump.The point of our program is not that it should be endorsed in its entirety. It's almost meant to be a discussion document to show what is possible—that this can be done. It doesn't require some dramatic change in the way the government operates. It just demands a change in priorities and some new lawsDerek ShearerYou can't get to those issues until you are actually in the government. And if we don't win back the House and at least have a shot at winning back the Senate, talking about these issues while Trump and the MAGA Republican Party controls the government (and might continue to control it), makes us feel good, but it doesn't change anything. What I've learned about the so-called leaders of the party is you don't really expect them to lead. They will follow when they see where the voters are going. And they'll also follow when they see if there is a Presidential candidate who takes off on these kinds of issues…I don't expect the leadership to lead on these issues. So I don't rail against them. Because what I'm doing (and I'm doing it with a lot of different people out there, including a lot of young people) is trying to find good candidates, provide them with economic ideas to run on, and then hope that we win back the House and that these kinds of then-elected officials who share our viewpoint become the Democratic Party. I mean, that's how you do these things. If we don't win these elections, then we're just kind of crying in the wilderness.Derek ShearerLet's Start the RevolutionTools for Displacing the Corporate State and Building a Country that Works for the PeopleIn his latest eye-opening exploration, political maverick Ralph Nader dissects the astonishing twists and turns of the 2020 presidential election, a race that left the nation on the edge of its seat. Although Joe Biden clinched victory with a substantial popular vote lead, Nader unveils the precarious nature of the outcome, where a mere 100,000 votes in key swing states could have catapulted Donald Trump back to the presidency. Get your copy here.News 8/7/26* This week, a new wave of Democratic primaries were held, most notably in the state of Michigan. In the closely watched Senate primary, which came down to a two-way race, Bernie Sanders-backed progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed emerged triumphant. Some have played up the fact that his opponent, Congresswoman Haley Stevens, overperformed relative to her polling in an attempt to downplay the significance of El-Sayed's victory. Yet, this narrative ignores the fact that Stevens enjoyed the backing of the Democratic Establishment and AIPAC, which gave her an 12-to-1 spending advantage according to Axios, and that she ran misleading ads that made it seem as though former President Barack Obama had endorsed her campaign. Viewed in this light, it is clear just how impressive El-Sayed's victory – statewide, in a must-win swing state for Democrats – is. El-Sayed will now face off against former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers in the general election.* In Detroit, the left scored another major win with the victory of Donavan McKinney. McKinney, a DSA member and Michigan state representative, won his primary race against incumbent Congressman Shri Thanedar in Michigan's 13th congressional district, the Detroit Free Press reports. Thanedar, a millionaire businessman, was a DSA member but left over disagreements over Israel. Thanedar fought hard to keep this seat, which he won in 2022, and was supported by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries despite many members of the Congressional Black Caucus supporting McKinney. Given that this is a heavily Democratic district, McKinney is essentially guaranteed a seat in the next Congress, bringing the number of DSA-backed House Members to an unprecedented high of seven. Moreover, between McKinney and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the city of Detroit will now enjoy all DSA representation in Congress.* In Michigan's seventh congressional district, progressive climate activist and co-founder of the Sunrise Movement William Lawrence pulled out a win in his primary as well. NBC notes that Lawrence defeated his two more moderate opponents, retired Navy SEAL Matt Maasdam and former Ambassador to Slovakia Bridget Brink, in part by aggressively criticizing the construction of new AI data centers. Some have alleged that Lawrence received support from Republicans using dark money to boost his campaign because they believe him to be an easier candidate to defeat in the general election. However, the Hillary Clinton campaign's “pied piper” strategy to boost Donald Trump in 2016 proves that this is ever a risky strategy. Michigan's seventh district is seen as a critical battleground seat. Donald Trump won the district by just one single percentage point in 2024.* In more data center news from the Midwest, Hell Gate reports former New York City Mayor Eric Adams was in “Wisconsin Rapids—population 18,654—trying to convince residents that they should allow a real estate developer to build a data center in the heart of their town.” In a video of his pitch, the townspeople can be seen heckling, booing and shouting down the former Mayor, with attendees saying “You belong in prison!” and “You're here to steal our water!” Community activist Kaitlyn Federwitz is quoted in this piece saying “Our whole town does not want him here at all,” adding “We want our resources to be properly safeguarded, our farmers to be protected, our waterways protected.” The Wisconsin Rapids economy had been largely dependent on a local mill, which closed its doors in 2020; Federwitz spoke to this, arguing that “When the mill closed, we lost 900 jobs. We're aware we need jobs and industry in our city.” However, she added that the people of Wisconsin Rapids are “not willing to accept that a data center is the answer to that problem.”* In more news from the midwest, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain has published a new op-ed in Newsweek contending that “Democrats Must Pick a Side: Billionaires or Working-Class.” Fain cited numerous examples of Democrats in powers betraying their working class supporters, from NAFTA to modern governors like Abigail Spanberger of Virginia vetoing collective bargaining rights for public-sector workers. He criticized Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in particular for vetoing “nine bills restoring pensions, lowering health care costs, and restoring bargaining rights for public-sector workers,” after “Michigan Democrats fought an 18-month legal battle to force the bills to the governor's desk.” He claims that “When the courts finally ordered [the bills] delivered, Whitmer vetoed all nine the same day—without so much as a phone call to legislative leaders or the unions that helped elect her.” He ends this piece with a call for “every elected official and candidate to…[reject] corporate PAC money,” and “adopt a platform that addresses the needs of working-class people.” This clear-eyed, laser focus on the working class is what has put Fain into conversation for a 2028 presidential run by some on the populist left, particularly if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ultimately declines to run. A recent article in POLITICO quotes Bhaskar Sunkara, the 2020 Sanders surrogate and former vice chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, saying “If he's willing to run, [Fain] might be the best candidate for the left…Since he's progressive but very much says his egalitarian value system comes from his Christianity, [he] can speak in a moral language that can reach more independents than other candidates, and I think it would set a good precedent for labor.”* For the DSA left, all eyes now turn to Wisconsin, where Francesca Hong's campaign for the gubernatorial nomination continues to pick up steam. Just this week, per Wis Politics, Hong picked up the endorsement of the SEIU Wisconsin Healthcare and Service Workers. In their endorsement statement, SEIU Wisconsin called Hong “a longtime advocate and fighter for the working class,” who is “committed to building back strong labor protections by overturning Act 10 and so-called ‘Right-to-Work' laws, expanding Badgercare, and abolishing poverty wages in Wisconsin.” The union added that Hong's “support for a $20 minimum wage, adopting family-centered policies such as paid family leave and affordable child care, and enacting much-needed regulations on corporate monopolies make her the clear choice for all Wisconsinites, not just the wealthy.” Hong currently leads in the polls, despite the sitting Democratic Governor's attempts to boost her primary rival, David Crowley. Both Hong and Crowley have racked up labor support, though Crowley decidedly leads among the building trades and firefighter unions.* In St. Louis, the left experienced its biggest setback this cycle, with former Congresswoman Cori Bush losing her comeback bid against Congressman Wesley Bell by a large margin. Bush was ousted in 2024 as part of “a broader strategy by AIPAC to unseat Israel's sharpest critics in Congress, including the ‘Squad,' which Bush was a part of,” per the Missouri Independent. This piece notes that AIPAC spent over $8 million to oust Bush in that cycle and outside groups spent $7.2 million on Bell's behalf this year. Bell's official campaign outspent Bush's by a margin well over 10 to 1. Bush is the first candidate backed by National DSA to lose their race in 2026, which, while disappointing in this case, is a stunning testament to the track record of the group.* In a totally different part of the country, this week Julian Beaudion, the Democratic nominee for Senate in South Dakota, dropped out of the race. Beaudion cited personal hardships for himself and his family in his statement of withdrawal citing a recent house fire. However, many see this as an acknowledgement that the independent candidate in this race, veteran and former park ranger Brian Bengs, has a better chance of defeating incumbent Republican Senator Mike Rounds in a head-to-head matchup. This dynamic has been playing out in other states; Democratic Senate candidates have dropped out to clear the way for independents in Nebraska and Idaho already and there is immense pressure on the Democratic nominee in Montana to do the same. For his part, Beaudion will not endorse either candidate in South Dakota, according to KELOLAND News, but South Dakota Searchlight reports the South Dakota Democratic Party will not replace Beaudion on the ballot, giving the greenlight for Democrats to coalesce around Bengs in the general election.* In another primary election story, Lehigh Valley Public Media is out with a story on the strange dynamic emerging in Pennsylvania's 7th congressional district. According to this story, this race – between incumbent Republican Ryan Mackenzie and his Democratic challenger Bob Brooks, who seems to have done the impossible by getting Bernie Sanders and Josh Shapiro on the same side in a primary – has been upended by the entry of one Andrew Tupone. Mr. Tupone, a former Republican candidate, is running on the Green Party ballot line and claims to have “joined the Green Party this spring, drawn by its environmental policies on water conservancy and opposition to data centers, after growing disillusioned with both major parties.” Yet, apparently, “Green Party leaders warned in a statement this month that a wave of candidates may be posing as party members across the state.” Chris Robinson, a Green party spokesman, claims that “The party hasn't endorsed any congressional candidates in Pennsylvania and has never heard from Tupone.” Robinson adds that he “looked at [Tupone's] Facebook page, and he seems like he's a nice Republican.” According to LVPM, “a third-party candidate wouldn't need to move the needle much,” to influence the outcome of the election, noting that the current Congressman defeated the Democratic incumbent, Rep. Susan Wild by just 1 percentage point, in 2024, while “Tim Silfies, the last third-party congressional candidate to appear on a Lehigh Valley ballot, earned 8,011 votes, or 3 percent of the vote, in 2018.”* Finally, in more third party news, POLITICO reports several leading figures on the anti-MAGA right – including Congressman Thomas Massie, former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, and commentator Tucker Carlson – convened last weekend to “[sow] the seeds for a future third-party political organization…aimed at undercutting the Republican establishment.” This gang of three, joined by former Trump national security official Joe Kent, are particularly incensed by the president's intervention in Iran, with Greene writing “We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he's betrayed us all.” This group is reportedly mulling a right-wing, third-party presidential campaign in 2028. While Carlson has declined to launch a presidential bid in the past, despite urging from within his circle, a sprawling new “10-point vision for America” he debuted during a recent stream implies that he is increasingly interested in articulating an alternative vision of right-wing politics from those espoused by Trump. This manifesto, as reported by Axios, includes everything from declassifying records on the JFK assasination and 9/11 to enforcing universal sobriety to “halting immigration until the effects of AI become clearer.” We will be watching closely to see if this effort moves forward or peters out as has been the pattern with other recent third party attempts.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Greek authorities are investigating the death of a 62-year-old British woman who died in her cabin aboard a Marshall Islands-flagged cruise ship near Santorini on July 26; the Port Authority of Thira has opened an investigation and an autopsy was ordered at the Forensic Medical Service of Piraeus. In St. Thomas, dredging of the cruise harbor at Havensight begins in September 2026 under contractor Orion Marine Construction, with completion expected by mid-2027 — work that WICO President and CEO Joseph Boschulte says will finally let the largest Oasis-class ships call safely, as the territory projects 362 calls and roughly 1.2 million passengers in fiscal 2027. And Princess Cruises has opened sales for its 2028 Alaska season, with 185 departures across 14 itineraries on eight ships, 86 scheduled scenic-cruising visits to Glacier Bay National Park, and cruise-tour options anchored by five wilderness lodges and the Direct-to-the-Wilderness rail service.
