This episode of Across The Margin: The Podcast features an interview with Jacob M. Appel, one of the most prolific, accomplished, yet humble people in America. Appel is an author, poet, bioethicist, physician, lawyer and social critic best known for his short stories, his work as a playwright, and his writing in the fields of reproductive ethics, organ donation, neuroethics and euthanasia. He is the director of Ethics Education in Psychiatry and an associate professor of psychiatry and medical education at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and he practices emergency psychiatry within the adjoining Mount Sinai Health System. Appel writes for both The Huffington Post and Opposing Views, and he has obtained ten degrees from various institutions, including Harvard Law School and Columbia Medical School.Appel is the subject of the 2019 documentary film Jacob by director Jon Stahl. Stahl’s film attempts to answer what makes polymaths, like Jacob, who seem to live several lives concurrently, so different. The documentary questions if polymaths' profound intellect is a gift or a burden while trying to uncover if they are happy and satisfied in life. Approaching Jacob both through direct interviews and the testimonies of his friends, Stahl considers Appel through an emotional lens, rather than an intellectual one.In this episode host Michael Shields and Jacob Appel discuss Jacob’s writing style and method before Appel, a prolific writer, offers advice to fellow writers on the importance of the first line, how to deal with editorial rejections, and perseverance being the key to success in writing. They discuss what it was like for Appel to be the subject of a popular documentary, how his studies in numerous fields contribute to his craft, and ultimately, the episode serves as an ode to those in life whose aim is to never stop learning.

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about news, the best local  events, new job postings, obituaries, and more.   First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial.  Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield.   Did you know that prolific writer, Jacob M. Appel, graduated from Brown University with a double major in English and American Literature? Today, he has a number of advanced degrees including a law degree from Harvard and a medical degree from Columbia. His debut novel, “The Man who wouldn't stand up”, won a Dundee International Book Prize in 2012.    Now, we turn our feature story….   Just days away from St. Patrick's Day, Íde Motherway Koulbanis is counting on the luck of the Irish to help shed light on her shenanigans and inspire others to perform small acts of kindness.   Koulbanis, a native of County Cork, Ireland, has a sparkling personality, a close-knit circle of friends, and a group called "Íde's Shenanigans with wine and a 5K." A comfortably organized group of female friends, Shenanigans raises money for various charitable causes — then rewards members for their efforts with cocktails, camaraderie and lots of laughs.   Koulbanis, who teaches French and world cultures at Westerly Middle School, said she was browsing through Facebook one summer morning, when a post with the title "Wine 5K" grabbed her attention. It was appealing for a number of reasons. "It's terrible what these charities have lost," she said. Koulbanis quickly shared the post with her circle of friends, who were inspiredto localize the idea.  "The idea was that you get a group of people together to run 5 kilometers, and then celebrate afterwards with drinks," she said. Members kick in a contribution to cover the cost of the potables and a little extra for the donation. Koulbanis said it didn't take long before she and her pals decided to pick up the pace. They registered for their first Wine 5k event online, got "some swag," and made donations to the Nikolas Ritschel Foundation. "We had such a blast we decided to make one of our own and turn it into a monthly event," she said, explaining that members of Shenanigans group decided to take turns choosing a group or charity to support. "In August, September and October, we did just that," she said. "We met at Avondale preserve, and either walked or ran our 5 kilometers and then shared a cocktail together." Koulbanis created a private Facebook page for the group where they posted selfies of team members running and sipping cocktails, and updates about the theme of the month, the cocktail of the month and the cocktail delivery. In September, they raised money for the Alzheimer's Foundation of America in memory of one Shenanigans runner who lost her dad to the disease, Koulbanis said. In October, she said, they raised money for Abby Gencarelli, a local youngster battling leukemia who had just had a stem cell transplant. When November rolled around — along with a spike in cases of COVID-19 — they had to get creative. "We didn't let it stop us," said Koulbanis. Instead, they decided to complete the runs or walks individually and find a new way to toast their accomplishments. For March, the group has decided to virtually cross the pond and raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society, a cause dear to Koulbanis' heart. Koulbanis, the youngest child in a family of five, lost her brother, Barry, to cancer in 1990, when he was just a teenager. "So for our March 5K, we'll be donating to the Irish Cancer Society in memory of my brother, Barry," Koulbanis said. "And the date happens to coincide with Daffodil Day." Koulbanis said she's even come up with a new cocktail for the event, one that includes Irish whiskey. "It's Jameson's and ginger," she said with a laugh.  To read the latest on this story, head over to westerleysun.com.  There are a lot of businesses in our community that are hiring right now, so we're excited to tell you about some new job listings.
