This is the 8th bonus episode of The Podgoblin's Hat, with Nina and Dave. You can find it on it's own feed wherever you get your podcasts. Our guest Ali Baker is a researcher in children's literature with a particular interest in children's voice and children's rights, so it's no surprise she chose to come on and talk to us about The Invisible Child! Ali makes a strong case for Bjork as a Spirit of Little My and reminisces about finding the Moomins in her local library as a kid. We situate the Moomins as a type of fantasy, and Ali recommend's Dr Farah Mendlesohn's Rhetorics of Fantasy. We talk about the mixed up class elements of the Moomin family, and go on a long tangent about femme-shaming (#JusticeForTheSnorkMaiden), with reference to Tamora Pierce's Protector of the Small quartet. Ali's article about the the sensitivity edit's to Roald Dahl's work is here. Her Spirit of the Moomin's is Bjork's album Vespertine, and her Spirit of the Podgoblin's Hat is her podcast Fantasy Book Swap.

Conversations From the Sun Valley Writers' Conference is back for a 16th season! In this episode, journalist Andrea Elliott joins host Marcia Franklin to talk about her book, Invisible Child, which won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction. The book chronicles eight years in the life of Dasani Coates, a child in Brooklyn. Elliott shares what compelled her to spend that much time covering the story, and how Dasani's life exemplifies the challenges of being poor in America. Elliott also discusses some of the ethical considerations involved in reporting this complex and personal story. Originally Aired: 12/22/2023 The interview is part of the series “Conversations from the Sun Valley Writers' Conference” and was taped at the 2023 conference. Since 1995, the conference has been bringing together some of the world's most well-known and illuminating authors to discuss literature and life.

This is the twenty-first episode of The Podgoblin's Hat, with Nina and Dave. You can find it on it's own feed wherever you get your podcasts. This week we're reading one of Tove's most famous short stories: The Invisible Child. It's a pretty bright and funny story with very dark themes. We both like it, but it doesn't quite live up to the hype, for us. Little My is picking poisonous mushrooms (what else is new?), Moomintroll is an ass, and Moominmamma is a confirmed witch. It's a good one for cameos of Too-Ticky, and vengeance on fathers. We've got quite the fungus-based Natural History/Translation chat. We talk about whether bashing coldly ironical types in the head is even any use. Justice for people with hair colours that aren't black or yellow! There is a deep dive into Nina's ginger experience, and the way gingers, particularly ginger girls, are represented in kids' fiction. Our Spirits of the Moomins are The Little Prince by Saint Exupery, as read by Peter Ustinov, and Where the Wild Ladies Are, by Matsuda Aoko and translated by Polly Barton. Dave's Spirit of the Moomins is The White Pube website and podcast, particularly their video game reviews.

Journalist Andrea Elliott won her first Pulitzer Prize in 2007 for Feature Writing. 15 years later, she won her second Pulitzer for her book “Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival and Hope in an American City” under the General Nonfiction category.“Invisible Child” follows the life of a young Black girl named Dasani Coates, whom Andrea followed and reported on for more than eight years, exploring the intergenerational impact of poverty and race in one of the richest cities in the world.In this episode of Latino USA, Andrea Elliott speaks with Maria Hinojosa about her Pulitzer Prize-winning work, what it means to be a journalist of conscience and how Andrea's bi-cultural upbringing as a Chilean-American helped her to better report on people living on the margins of power.

This week, with Stuart and Eamonn on holiday, we have a wee treat in store - a girl power double header with Talk Media favourites Catriona Stewart and Shona Craven. At the end of the show a listener question suggested by Brian Brussels. Recommendations: Shona Invisible Child - Book - Andrea Elliot Based on nearly a decade of reporting, Invisible Child follows eight dramatic years in the life of Dasani Coates, a child with an imagination as soaring as the skyscrapers near her Brooklyn homeless shelter. Born at the turn of a new century, Dasani is named for the bottled water that comes to symbolise Brooklyn's gentrification and the shared aspirations of a divided city. As Dasani moves with her family from shelter to shelter, this story traces the passage of Dasani's ancestors from slavery to the Great Migration north. Dasani comes of age as New York City's homeless crisis is exploding. In the shadows of this new Gilded Age, Dasani leads her seven siblings through a thicket of problems: hunger, parental drug addiction, violence, housing instability, segregated schools and the constant monitoring of the child-protection system. When, at age thirteen, Dasani enrolls at a boarding school in Pennsylvania, her loyalties are tested like never before. Ultimately, she faces an impossible question: What if leaving poverty means abandoning the family you love? By turns heartbreaking and revelatory, provocative and inspiring, Invisible Child tells an astonishing story about the power of resilience, the importance of family and the cost of inequality. https://www.waterstones.com/book/invisible-child/andrea-elliott/9781529156102 Catriona: American Fiction - Film - Cord Jefferson AMERICAN FICTION is Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture's obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who's fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain. https://www.mgm.com/movies/american-fiction Glasgow School of Art fire - Features - The Herald Almost a decade has passed since the unique and world-renowned Mackintosh Building at Glasgow School of Art was badly damaged in a fire as final year students prepared for their degree show.  Four years later, the category A-listed landmark - widely regarded as Charles Rennie Mackintosh's masterpiece - suffered a second, more significant fire as it was nearing the end of a £35 million restoration effort to repair the damage incurred during the 2014 fire. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/24199850.complete-timeline-glasgow-school-art-fires/

From the page to the stage: William turns childhood fantasies into reality. In London, William Lee Adams is feeling disillusioned with his job, when a Romanian singer on a horse appears on his computer screen and he's inspired to start writing about the Eurovision Song Contest. Wiwibloggs is born, and grows to be the world's most-followed independent blog and video channel about Eurovision. In the process, he gets to visit some of the far-flung places he escaped to as a child in the US reading encyclopaedias. William has written a memoir called Wild Dances: My Queer and Curious Journey to Eurovision. Presenter: India Rakusen Producer: Rob Wilson

A bond between brothers, a coming-out story, and an international song contest. William Lee Adams is one of the leading voices covering the Eurovision Song Contest, criss-crossing the continent to interview stars and live-stream shows. But as a child growing up in small-town America, he was made to feel invisible; encouraged to suppress his Vietnamese heritage and questions about his sexuality. He found solace in caring for his brother, John, who had severe physical disabilities due to a brain condition. Even so, he needed an escape route. William has written a memoir called Wild Dances: My Queer and Curious Journey to Eurovision. Presenter: India Rakusen Producer: Rob Wilson

Book recommendation:  Invisible Child by Andrea Eliot

In March, the City Club welcomed author Andrea Elliott to discuss her book Invisible Child, as part of One Community Reads. In this book, we meet Dasani, a child in New York City, and her family who move from shelter to shelter, battling persistent poverty and hunger, and in search of stability and a way forward. It was a heavy, and harrowing reminder of the struggles children and their families face, and the work that needs to be done.rnrnIn Cuyahoga County, 5,000 residents experience homelessness each year. Youth comprise 8 percent and families 12 percent. Homelessness disproportionately affects Black people, LGBTQ people, and individuals with disabilities. And in March, Cuyahoga County announced a pledge to reduce homelessness by 25 percent by 2027. The county plans to do this by focusing on affordable housing and offering more services to assist those experiencing homelessness.rnrnJoin us at the Happy Dog in a conversation led by Chris Knestrick, Executive Director at the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless, and continue the conversation on youth and family homelessness in Cleveland.

What happens when students' identities are not reflected in the curriculum? Erica connects with an Asian American mother concerned with the lack of representation of Asians in the curriculum. The mother questions her own child's teacher in Brooklyn, and students from a tiny school in Colorado who brought the local history of Chinese exclusion to light, and want to learn more about Mexican-American local history. These stories examine how culturally affirming curricula that offers students “windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors” reduces racism and bias.

Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they discuss Andrea Elliott's book Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival, and Hope in an American City. It's rare we spend time talking about a book and its story - but this time we dig in. This is a book that is so powerful. It is the story of Dasani and her families life and struggle through poverty, homelessness, and addiction in American society. It's worth a conversation about the abject failure of our systems. If you want to be a domino, this book might give you the motivation to do so.Support the show

This episode, we hear from Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Andrea Elliott. For eight years, she wrote about a young girl named Dasani, who was growing up poor in New York City. What resulted is the sweeping epic of one family's story, by turns heartbreaking and inspirational. The book is a riveting must-read.

Andrea Elliott is the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and New York Times investigative reporter who spent nearly a decade following the journey of one family living on the poverty line in Brooklyn. Elliott's book, Invisible Child, tells that story, focusing on Dasani Coates, a child moving from homeless shelter to homeless shelter with her tight-knit family. A reflection on the extremities of America's wealth gap between rich and poor and also how racism threads through the country's approach to welfare, the book is also a study on how Dasani has managed to shine while growing up surrounded by adversity. Joining Andrea to discuss the book is novelist Alex Preston, author of In Love and War and As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Life has been anything but easy for 20-year-old Dasani Coates. Named after the bottled water that signaled Brooklyn's gentrification, her story has been featured in five front pages of the New York Times. Together with her siblings, Dasani has had to persevere in an environment riddled with stark inequality, hunger, violence, drug addiction and homelessness. She's not alone. There's nearly 1.38 million homeless schoolchildren in the United States. About one in 12 live in New York City. We often focus on the stories of children who “make it out” of tumultuous environments. But what about the ones who don't? New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Andrea Elliot spent nearly a decade following Dasani and her family. Andrea joins to talk about her expanded coverage of the Coates' family story, which is told in her new book, “Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival & Hope In An American City.”

In 2013, the front page of The New York Times devoted five straight days to the story of Dasani, an 11-year-old Black girl who lived in a homeless shelter in Brooklyn. Now, Andrea Elliott, the reporter of that series, has published her first book, “Invisible Child,” which tells the full story of Dasani and her family up to the present day. On this week's podcast, Elliott discusses how she came to focus her reporting on Dasani.“I've always believed as a journalist that the story shows itself to you, and you just have to do the work of being there and being present for as long as possible until it becomes more clear,” Elliott says. “In the very beginning, I had three families I was following at that shelter. And I had this approach that a lot of journalists take, that you need to capture three different families to give a sense of the spectrum of experience. But what I think becomes more important to the reader is to be able to identify deeply with one story, one protagonist, and follow that person.” Dasani became that person, in part, Elliott says, because “she was somebody who, at a very young age, could articulate in a moving and profound way her experience. And that's a rare trait even in adults.”The stand-up comedian, actress, producer and publisher Phoebe Robinson visits the podcast to discuss her new book of essays, “Please Don't Sit on My Bed in Your Outside Clothes.”“Book writing is a completely different style of writing than stand-up,” Robinson says. “Stand-up, there's a rhythm and you're aware of the laughs and how they're hitting. With a book you can really have more flavor with it; you can be vulnerable, you can slow it down, have some down beats, you could be really funny. I wouldn't say it's difficult to write stand-up versus book writing. They both have their challenges.”Also on this week's episode, Tina Jordan looks back at Book Review history as it celebrates its 125th anniversary; Elizabeth Harris has news from the publishing world; and Gregory Cowles and John Williams talk about what they've been reading. Pamela Paul is the host.Here are the books discussed in this week's “What We're Reading”:“The Diary of a Country Priest” by Georges Bernanos“The Magician” by Colm Toibin“The Outlaw Ocean” by Ian Urbina

We are beyond thrilled that Drew Droege joined us this week! So thrilled in fact, that we neglected to introduce ourselves or name check the podcast in the episode. But rest assured, no one has tried to imitate us...yet. Drew weighs in on the on-going saga of the Kazakhstani bodybuilder who married a sex doll, divorced her and married two others. Plus, we discuss the little known Rita Wilson/Victor Garber movie, "Invisible Child". When Drew referenced this film in his one-man Off Broadway show a few years back, Anne knew she met her Lifetime soul mate. We think you'll agree, there's only one word to describe this plotline and it is "outrageous". Follow Drew on Twitter @DrewDroge to find out about all his appearances and his upcoming LA show, "The Golden Girlz: The Return". And of course, keep listening to "That's Outrageous".

Hello again, this episode is about family structures, both unhealthy and healthy. For me, life is about knowledge and understanding, learning and unlearning. With that, here, I unpack the previous with the help of the following article: The Narcissistic Family Tree | Psychology Today Psychological terms mentioned after list item #9 (time at 10:30): The Golden Child, the Scapegoat/Black Sheep, the Clown, and the Invisible Child. Sending many blessings to you all, D.

Mary Parker joins me in watching the 1999 Lifetime Movie, "Invisible Child," about a family with a delusional mother who believes she has three children when she in fact only has two. Her husband and her elder child help with her delusion and her younger child believes in his "invisible sister." It's a tragic tale but also, strangely hilarious? 

What if you could reframe anything including 2020 as a year that had its positives? Meet Timothy Phelps. During this very vulnerable conversation, he shares how he overcame early childhood traumas and how by changing his mindset he overcame being homeless. This conversation covers a lot including how he was able to forgive those who hurt him, the way he was able to balance his reality with his massive ambitions when he was homeless, and how he sees 2020. Here is a bit more about Timothy whom I met by way of Jessie Itzler’s Build Your Life Resume community. We were both seeking to rekindle our sense of adventure and his courage stuck out during a training with Jens Pulver a retired MMA champion who also experienced trauma.   Timothy endured child abuse and neglect, quickly developing self-doubts, fears, and depression at a young age. School was his safe haven, although it was not truly safe, as he endured bullying. Phelps hated life, and after being told multiple times he was a mistake, should’ve never been born, and should just kill himself, he attempted suicide on multiple occasions. After battling drug and alcohol addictions, he almost succeeded, but then God! Phelps had a long journey to overcome the odds and ensure he was not a statistic.   The journey was rough, even finding himself homeless, but his desire was greater than his situation. Phelps gained a strong desire to learn and grow, finding success in real estate before being called to tell his story and help others who’ve been through similar situations. His first book, "The Invisible Child: Overcoming the Odds" was published early 2020.  Phelps was told it's lonely at the top, but he believes it's only lonely if you're not willing to take others with you. He desires to utilize his talents, skills, and experiences to help others climb their own mountain. Phelps believes we all have hurdles in which we must overcome. He believes we all need someone in our corner, and knows with God and massive ambition, anyone can overcome the odds! Due to these beliefs, Phelps helps others in overcoming one of the biggest obstacles they'll face, their own mindset, ultimately assisting in their own personal transformation, for the lifestyle they deserve.   Share this episode with three of your friends who you consider to be strong and resilient.

Let's take the remaining days of summer to reflect, think a bit; what do the next few months look like for you? What about your 2019 holiday season? Thinking ahead doesn't mean you're not being present! It means you take a breath now and ask yourself, "How do I want to live my life?" If the answer is: "I want to live my life out loud, feel alive, and do something purposeful" then go ahead and think/plan and activate. Let's spend time now imagining up splendid possibilities for a strong year-end, and a powerful start to a new decade! Special Guest will be Author and Speaker Kelly Walk Hines. Her book Memoirs of an Invisible Child is the first in the Hope in the Darkness Series. Kelly will share her story of surviving domestic violence as a child, talk about how she got through her first half and what her ambition is for her second half. We'll ask her to share what her year-end looks like as she contemplates the new decade!

Kelly Walk-Hines shares stories from her childhood that were filled with abuse and neglect after her mother was murdered.  Kelly's book Memoirs of an Invisible Child is now available in print and audiobook.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
