Welcome to Episode 119 - How Jamie Ford WritesIn this episode, Jamie and I dive into my current favorite topic - writing and reading dystopia.

We cover a ton of ground in this one.I want to take a quick minute to say thank you to Jamie for the interview. I had a blast.And now, here is episode 119 with Jamie Ford.Support the show

Ep. 112: Jamie Ford on Plotting a Sprawling Family Saga and Exploring Inherited Trauma

Chris and Emily sit down for a good old fashioned book chat. There's no interview this episode, just us. Emily is reading an advance copy of Elizabeth Strout's forthcoming novel, LUCY BY THE SEA (9/20/2022), and Katherine May's memoir, THE ELECTRICITY OF EVERY LIVING THING: ONE WOMAN'S WALK WITH ASPERGER'S. Chris is deep into MANSFIELD PARK by Jane Austen (#AustenInAugustRBR) and getting back into THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS by Isabel Wilkerson. We've read some good stuff since our last episode! THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (issue 4) by Sarah Gailey, THE WOMAN COULD FLY by Megan Giddings, A LOST LADY by Willa Cather (for the Mookse and The Gripes Podcast summer book club), THE MANY DAUGHTERS OF AFONG MAY by Jamie Ford, and NATURE'S BEST HOPE: A NEW APPROACH TO CONSERVATION THAT STARTS IN YOUR YARD by Douglas W. Tallamy. Emily headed north to Maine for a two-day event with Katherine May and Elissa Altman at The Barn Swallow Book Shop in Rockport. Chris braked hard for a historic marker in Newport, New Hampshire honoring editor, writer, and women's rights advocate Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879). She also attended an online event hosted by Bank Square Books/Savoy Bookshop & Cafe with Dr. Mark Haper, author of CHILL: THE COLD WATER CURE. We also had a Biblio Adventure together to see the movie adaptation of WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING. We gave it two thumbs/paws up! We love marshland and all the critters therein except mosquitos and flies which were noticeably absent from the movie. But as conservationist Douglas Tallamy explains, bugs are an integral part of our survival on earth so we will work on our attitudes towards insects. Tallamy writes in NATURE'S BEST HOPE: “As insane as our war against insects may seem, and as effective as it has been, I am nevertheless optimistic that we can form a new relationship with insects and treat them like the good fairies they are. Why am I willing to put a smiley face on this? Two reasons: First, our response to insects is, in part, an oversimplified, innate reaction to things that hurt or annoy us now and in our distant past. If bees sting and mosquitoes bite, it is easy to group all small flying things into one category we label enemy. But we now have knowledge on our side, and with that, we have the capacity to be a bit more discriminating. We can easily learn to distinguish the good from the bad, the helpful from the irritating. By numbers, nearly all insects are harmless and beneficial, and we can learn to appreciate rather than kill the insects that we rely on just as easily as we can learn that dogs, through genetically identical to wolves, can be our loving pets rather than our predators. I am also confident that we can form a new relationship with insects, because we have done it many times before with other creatures. Whales still swim in the sea because we have learned to value the earth's largest species as majestic living beings instead of as mere providers of lamp oil. Wolfes hunt in Yellowstone again because we now know they are essential to the long-term persistence of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem. Puffins, auklets, and murres have returned to many Aleutian Islands because we have decided not to let the rats we introduced to those islands eat their brains as they sleep. Fish breed again in the ocean sea kelp beds off California because we now prefer that our sea otters keep sea urchins in check rather than become our fur coats. Egrets fly once more over the Everglades because we value their showy feathers more in flight than on ladies' hats. And we are well on our way to forming a new relationship with bees, even though they sting, because we have finally realized we cannot exist without their pollination services. These and many more examples of how we have come to appreciate rather than destroy nature have convinced me that we can also learn to share the earth with the most essential of all creatures, the little insect fairies at our feet” (127-128).

Jason Mott discusses the phenomenal success of and the winding road to publication for his National Book Award winning novel HELL OF A BOOK. We hear about Jason's inspiration, his bravery in branching out into a different direction with his writing, the challenges of incorporating current events while still weaving in humor, and what he hopes "all the other mad kids, the outsiders, the weirdos, and the bullied" take away from the novel.

Today's episode is all about Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  Actually, we have two episodes for you on FDR.  He's that important, and being the only person ever elected to the White House four times, he was also in office long enough to have created several legacies when issues of race arise.  Just how important was he?  Well, here's one way to look at it: there have been three true existential crises in American history, moments not just of stress or strife, but perilous times when the very existence of the republic seemed threatened.This week, we talked with Dr. Jill Watts, a professor of history at California State University San Marcos, and an expert on African-American history in the 20th century. She is the author of The Black Cabinet and talked to us about that work and how FDR's black cabinet pushed him to include Black Americans in New Deal programs. Second, we talked to Dr. Natalie Mendoza, a professor of Mexican American history at the University of Colorado Boulder. We learned about the Good Neighbor program, labor demands and conflict in the southwest, and racial tensions along the US-Mexico border. Finally, we spoke to Jamie Ford, a novelist and author of Hotel at the Corner on Bitter and Sweet, a story about Japanese internment and the complicated history of Chinese and Japanese communities in the Pacific Northwest.To learn more, visit www.pastpromisepresidency.com.

In this episode, the first page of three books of fiction will be read:Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford,Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri, andThe Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri

In this special Thanksgiving episode, we hear from Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of The Sympathizer and The Refugees, who joined us at Benaroya Hall in May 2018. He is introduced by Ruth Dickey, SAL Executive Director, and is interviewed after his talk by Jamie Ford, celebrated author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. In Viet Thanh Nguyen’s story “Black Eyed Woman” from The Refugees, the narrator speaks to us about the arrival of stories and of ghosts, saying: “Stories are just things we fabricate, nothing more. We search for them in a world beside our own, then leave them here to be found, garments shed by ghosts.” This slight of hand illuminates the heart of Nguyen’s writing – the ideas that stories are just fabricated things, nothing more. Yet also that stories are everything we search for, the only things that remain of us, the things we leave to be found, the things that give meaning.

In progressive alternative health and research circles, something called 'autophagy' has been receiving a LOT of attention lately. Autophagy is like your body's own internal recycling program, helping it eliminate toxins and reuse critical nutrients, such as protein, vitamins and minerals. Autophagy is a hot topic because it's one the most powerful ways to slow (and even reverse) the aging process. Benefits include improved mood, more youthful appearance, more energy, reduced inflammation, enhanced immunity and so much more. Next, we have my very special guest Jamie Bechtold who is an expert in the healing arts, creator of toneation and founder of the Soundbath Center and Reiki Center in Los Angeles. Jamie shares her personal journey and what led her towards  sound healing. Listen in as she shares this technique and how it can deepen the effects of the massage, helping clients enter into a state of relaxation much quicker than without it. [BULLETS] Tony and I delve into a different aspect of detoxing... Tony shares an overview of what autophagy is and if it really can assist with feeling more youthful, having more energy and decreasing inflammation... Why we don't need as much protein as we think we do... How to elevate autophagy and how it really works... Intermittent fasting in relation to autophagy... The relationship between autophagy and mitochondria... We share some tips on how to promote optimal autophagy levels... Jamie shares what sound bath and "toneation" is... What attracted Jamie to work with sound... The results or reactions you can expect during and after a sound bath... What abilities the gongs and crystal quartz bowls have and how do they interact with our bodies... Jamie talks about her call to change her whole life and career from biologist to the healing arts.... What color therapy is... [FEATURED GUESTS] About Jamie Bechtold Jamie Bechtold (formerly Jamie Ford)  has been passionate about sound and movement since she was very young. She grew up competing nationally in gymnastics. Her interest in the healing arts started when she in her early 20's - she began working with her dreams and read every book she could on dreams, psychic abilities, and energy healing. Jamie heard a gong for the first time in a yoga class in 2000. The teacher played a gong during savasana and she was in love! She went to classes just to hear the gong, and found it's sound helped her relax and connect more with what she wanted to do with her life. At that time Jamie was working as a Biologist, and was not feeling fulfilled in her work. That yoga class with the gong affected her deeply and eventually moved her on a new path..one of healing and sound. In 2005 Jamie entered the healing arts field through massage. She soon added sound healing in the form of tuning forks into her sessions. She found sound deepened the effects of the massage and helped clients enter into a state of relaxation much quicker than without it. In 2004 she met Kat Lyons, who was teaching a tuning fork workshop, and began to study sound more intensely. She studied Egyptian Mysteries with Kat, which was very sound healing focused. In 2005 Jamie bought her first gong and crystal bowl and has been playing for her clients and groups ever since.In 2012 Jamie began teaching sound healing and in 2015 opened The Soundbath Center (formerly known as The Sound Space). Her intention was to open a space dedicated to Soundbaths and sound healing, and to offer clients different types of soundbath experiences. About Anthony Flores, or "T" as Kimberly affectionately refers to him: He is a long-time friend of hers who, after graduating from Stanford University, began researching and writing professionally in the health space full-time. He has a passion for natural health, especially Beauty Detox, and loves to share exciting new studies and insights he learns with Kimberly and the community!...

The Artists Podlight Podcast interview with New York Times best selling author Jamie Ford (September 11, 2017.

If you like to read and follow the stories of successful people some common themes emerge - never giving up, always persevering, get knocked down and get back up, never take no, feel the fear and do it anyway, fail until you succeed.It sounds ghastly doesn’t it? And it can be; it is hard, emotionally and physically. What does it take to do this - to get the resilience to keep going, to make it. Simon's guest for this episode is Jamie Ford of Foresight Learning. He's an expert in this field, a coach and mentoring resilience to businesses, leaders and sports teams like the Crusaders and the Wallabies. He talked Simon through how resilience is learnt, trained and practiced and not innate, and how you can build your own. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ep. 109: Jamie Ford is a Multiracial Asian man with roots in China.  He's also, according to Jamie, part "Betty Crocker" White (on his mother's side).  In addition, he is the New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet—which was, in no particular order, an IndieBound NEXT List Selection, a Borders Original Voices Selection, a Barnes & Noble Book Club Selection, Pennie’s Pick at Costco, a Target Bookmarked Club Pick, and a National Bestseller. It was also named the #1 Book Club Pick for Fall 2009/Winter 2010 by the American Booksellers Association. In addition, Hotel has been translated into 34 languages. He jokes that he's still holding out for Klingon (that’s when, Jamie says, you know you’ve made it). His new novel, Songs of Willow Frost was published September 10, 2013. And he's also working on a YA (Young Adult) series. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Jamie is the proud father of more teenagers than he can keep track of.

Award-winning novelist Jamie Ford joins host Gil Mansergh for Conversations With Writers. Ford has followed his beloved novel The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet with a much-anticipated second novel set against the backdrop of Seattle's depression-era Chinatown. Songs of Willow Frost tells the tale of two youngsters who escape from an orphanage to find the Chinese-American boy's mother - a woman he thinks they have seen in a Hollywood movie. As author Pat Conroy writes: "Ford is a first-rate novelist... With his new book, he takes a great leap forward and demonstrates the uncanny ability to move me to tears."
