Wellington Hospitals Foundation has launched its annual Jammies in June appeal to support children in hospitals around the region. Demand for pyjamas is even higher this year, with the foundation hoping to collect 3400 pairs of sleepwear. The pyjamas are provided to children arriving at the hospital, as well as to children living in cold damp housing in the community. To discuss the appeal, Wellington Hospitals Foundation CEO Guy Ryan joined Nick Mills. To make a donation, visit whf.org.nz, or drop a pair of new flannelette pyjamas at Wellington, Kenepuru or Hutt hospitals. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(but thanks for that quote anyway). Hosted by Klein, Ally, and a cast of weirdos (both on the team and from their audience), the show is known for its raw, offbeat style, offering a mix of sarcastic banter, candid interviews, and an unfiltered take on everything from culture to the chaos of everyday life. With a loyal, engaged fanbase and an addiction for pushing boundaries, the show delivers the perfect blend of humor and insight, all while keeping things fun, fresh, and sometimes a little bit illegal. 2024 © 2021 Audacy, Inc.

LW1429 - Darkroom Work in My Jammies In my film days, it was not uncommon for a darkroom session to last 5-10 hours. One of the advantages I love about the digital workflow is that I can be productive with my first cup of coffee while still in my jammies. In both the analog and digital workflows, a most important part of the process is the warm-up period when we transition from everyday mind to our creative mind.

Sometimes you drive out into the dark, beyond the city lights, and wonder whether your loved one's intentions are nefarious. Other times you see the northern lights! This week, a very relieved Kris shares stories of lights in the sky, the benefits of not being murdered, and what it's like to swim with penguins. And Tara's here too, more laid back after emerging from a gaming fugue state, with another banger recommendation. Official Recommendations From Kris: Mary & George (Sky/Starz) This week, Kris recommends the British historical drama Mary & George, which tells the story of a man, his mother, and the King of England they're intent on seducing. Kris particularly liked this one because of the lengths the characters go to get what they want. From Tara: I Was A Teenage Exocolonist (PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Steam) This week, Tara recommends I Was A Teenage Exocolonist by Northway Games. In this deckbuilding life sim game, you play a settler going through a wormhole to a brand-new world. The story is looped, with the player returning to their arrival point over and over, trying to set right what went wrong in previous loops. It's queer AF and was the subject of much delight in Tara's home. Works/People Discussed Queer Liberation Library Christine Williams Jeopardy!

Dinner for Shoes is a podcast hosted by Sarah Wasilak, a fashion and food enthusiast with her mouth full. With appearances by her cats, Trish and Kit, and agendas that almost always go to shit, we aim to dive into a discussion about fashion and style and break some bread in each episode. In episode 17, Mocktails + Dry January Jammies, Sarah explains why she's decided to participate in Dry January for the first time ever. She reads stats from some interesting articles about alcohol's effect on the body, and she touches on her own mental health and how it's impacted by alcohol. As Sarah whips up some mocktail recipes that incorporate non-alcoholic beverage brands, she walks her dinner guests through her favorite PJ brands for cozy season. Sarah's Sleepwear Superlatives introduce 10 different labels known for pajamas, and she explains what she likes about each one. Dinner for Shoes podcast episodes are released weekly on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple. You can follow along for updates, teasers, and more on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. If there are any fashion topics you've been pondering or good eats you think Sarah should try, don't hesitate to send a DM or an email. Dinner for Shoes is an original by The Kai Productions.

About the Episode: In episode 261 of the Good Girls Get Rich podcast, I had the fantastic pleasure of talking shop with Bridget Brady – the dynamic founder and CEO of Amp Up My Biz. It was fascinating delving into Bridget's diverse background. This powerhouse has travelled the world and worked across many industries, but it was in the field of Information Technology where she truly excelled. She genuinely did win bright lights and the big city, going from the corporate world to launching her own digital marketing firm. It has been quite a ride! Despite the sparkle of success now, Bridget and I dug deep and talked candidly about her "Phoenix" moment – the flaring fires of losing her job, home and relationship which forced her to rise from the ashes and pave her own path. She fondly reflected on the year of entrepreneurial exploration that followed as she hunted for what truly thrilled her. And to everyone's delight (not least her own!), she found her passion in a place she hadn't expected - the vast and transformative world of social media strategies. Our conversation roved over our shared digital communication expertise, exploring the beautiful harmony of our seemingly varied work. While I LOVE showing the world how to leverage LinkedIn to generate crazy profits, Bridget and her team at Amp Up My Biz have got your back on all things marketing - from stunning website design and development to effective email marketing. In the tail end of the chat, Bridget imparted sage advice on how you should handle Twitter's chameleon-like transition phase. Her golden tip? Stay the course with your current strategies till we get a sense of where the platform is headed. Bridget will be hosting a 90-minute webinar enlightening us on advanced social media strategies. It's sure to be a resource-packed treasure trove, and needless to say, you don't want to miss this boat! In a nutshell, our conversation was a deep dive into the exhilarating journey of entrepreneurship and, of course, the behemoth that is social media marketing. Remember, lovelies, if you want to make your fortune, you've got to get social!

Kim and Penn Holderness pulled on their Christmas Jammies 10 years ago and churned out a viral video many still remember a decade later. They teamed up with their two young kids, Lola and Penn Charles, to rap about all the things that made 2013 special for them. Today, they are still making videos, but they are also releasing books, games, and merch. While they did win the 33rd season of The Amazing Race in 2022, Kim says another round of reality TV is not on their short list. She said, “Maybe like if you needed really middle-aged comedy, like the Golden Survivor. Also, if I needed to get trim really quick for an event.” But, she and Penn are game for sharing their family experiences in a fun and relatable way. “I think a lot of people make content that shows how funny they are, how great their life is, but as a viewer watching it, what's in it for me, that you're funny? No, I would prefer like make me laugh, show me something that I can relate to, make me feel something,” Kim said. She said News 6 helped shape her creative process. “I would say I learned a lot from our news director at WKMG, when I was there. His name was Skip Valet. When I was there for the afternoon pitch meeting, you had to walk in with three ideas. And if you didn't have an idea, (he would say) you need to take another way in to work.” And after making a pitch Kim said, “He would always kinda answer back like, ‘why would a viewer care about this story you just pitched.'” In addition to nailing the creative process, Kim and Penn bring a lot of raw talent to their content. Kim was trained in dance and Penn is a musician. But, even with all of that working in their favor, Penn said the duo threw a lot of spaghetti at the wall to see what would stick. Every video didn't go viral, but their success is evident. They currently have their own website, have nearly 5 million followers on Facebook, amassed nearly 18 million likes on TikTok, and are releasing a new book called “ADHD is Awesome.” Kim says Penn's book, “Is written for and by an ADHD brain.” The duo already has a game available at stores but said they hope to have another one available on Amazon by Black Friday. They also have taken up pickleball and are now offering a line of paddles online. They aren't alone in their success. Kim said their kids are very busy, but they are still active in some of their videos and have been making money with them since their original Christmas Jammies video went viral.

It's time for another episode of The Work From Home Show, coming to you from their homes in Austin, Texas, and Tampa, Florida. Here are your hosts, Adam and Naresh. Speaker 1 (00:00:28) - Hey everybody. Welcome to The Work From Home Show. Shout out to all our homies, homeboys, homegirls, home Trans, all the work from Homers out there. I'm na This, uh, today we have Tracy Batiste on the show. She is the number one New York Times bestselling author of Minecraft, the Crash in the new book, mermaid and Pirate. Tracy Batiste, thank you so much for joining us on the show. Speaker 2 (00:00:55) - Thank you so much for having me. Appreciate it. Speaker 1 (00:00:58) - Yeah, and I'm really looking forward to reading your book, mermaid In In Pirate. I haven't gotten a chance to, to read the hard version yet, but I'm gonna be reading it to my children. Yes, I think it's, uh, it, it's, it's very different from your Minecraft. Now, your Minecraft book, I believe is more a novel if I'm not mistaken. And Mermaid and Pirate is a children's book, Speaker 2 (00:01:20) - Right? Yeah. So I write pretty much always for kids. It just, it sort of depends on the age group. And Mermaid and Pirate is a picture book. It is for younger kids and my books like Minecraft and the Jammies series are for older kids. Ones who are reading on their own and who wanna read longer novels. So yeah. Um, mermaid and Pirate, definitely for the little guys. Speaker 1 (00:01:47) - Tell us a little bit about how you got interested in writing Fiction Fantasy, if you want to call it. Walk us through your journey. Is this something that you always wanted to do as a kid? Did you use to watch a lot of Disney movies? Tell us more. Speaker 2 (00:02:03) - Yeah, I actually decided that I wanted to be a writer when I was three, which is kind of ridiculous. Oh, you know, , I, um, it's kind of ridiculous cuz you know, like when you're, when you're really little and somebody asks you what you wanna be, it's always like all of these different things. And, um, I had so many books in my house and a lot of them were fairy tales. Um, a lot of them were grims fairy tales. And I wanted to be a writer because I really love stories. My mom, my dad, everybody in my family would read to me, they would tell me stories. There was a big oral tradition in Tritan Tobago where I grew up. And so I was, you know, steeped in stories all the time. So it did not seem like that farfetched to think that I could grow up and be one of these people who has their name on the cover of a book. So I was three when I decided that that was a thing that I wanted to do. And, um, even though I diverged from that a little bit, I was a teacher, I was an editor and so on. I always was interested in storytelling. And so I always came back to this idea that I could write stories. So yeah, I started writing really, really early and kept with it. Um, my first published book came out in 2005, and I have been publishing pretty steadily ever since. Speaker 1 (00:03:27) - I didn't know that your first published book came out in oh five, that's nearly 20 years ago. Was that through a traditional I'm, as there wasn't self-publishing back then, so I'm assuming that was a, a book deal that you got for that first book. Speaker 2 (00:03:41) - Yeah, that one was Simon and Schuster. And since I have worked with a lot of different publishers, uh, mermaid and Pirate comes out through Workman, which is a division of Hasat. And, um, they have actually been my home for quite some time now. I have a series with them. The Jumpy series is a fantasy for middle grade readers. I have this picture book, obviously. I have, um, a non-fiction book called African Icons, 10 People Who Shaped History that is also for middle grade readers. And so yeah, they've, they've been my home for several books. Speaker 1 (00:04:22) - How many total books have you written? Speaker 2 (00:04:26) - I think at this point it's 20, Speaker 1 (00:04:29) - So no, you can't, you can't even keep track the podcast you're Speaker 2 (00:04:31) - Sent. Yeah, I I'm not exactly sure because, well, part of the part of it is that I am constantly working, right? Like, uh, you know, your podcast is for working from home writers, uh, working, you know, people working from home. And that is 100% who I am. I am a mom who works from home and I am constantly working on something. So I just handed in a book on Friday, just gone, and I have another book that I need to hand in at the end of two months and yeah. Oh wow. Just, you know, cost Speaker 1 (00:05:03) - From the same publisher. They want you to submit some, Speaker 2 (00:05:06) - Um, no, these are actually two different publishers that I'm working with this time. Um, so the same publisher from Mermaid and Pirate, uh, is the same publisher that I owe a book to in two months, but I owe a book. I, uh, the book I handed in on Friday was for a different publisher. So yeah, I am just, you know, it is very much a, um, a business and as a business I am always working and I'm always working on something. I'm always doing something new. I'm always looking for my next story. I'm always looking for the next thing that is going to engage a young reader and yeah. Right now, so I'm hoping that Marian and Pirate is that thing that engages the, the next set of readers for me. Speaker 1 (00:05:54) - Can you tell us a little, you, you said this is your business and Mermaid and Pirate is a, a children's picture book, and you have an illustrator who did the pictures, Minecraft, the crash, similar, you have, uh, images that go along with it. So how did you partner up with your collaborators and you guys just continue to push out more projects together? Speaker 2 (00:06:18) - Right, so for the most part, the publisher pairs me up with an illustrator for the picture books because with picture books, obviously, you know, they're, they're pictures throughout with, uh, projects like Minecraft Crash and the Jumpy Series. Those I really, um, only need a cover illustrator for. And because I obviously am not an illustrator, I only write, um, the publisher pairs me up with who they think is going to be the right person to convey, uh, the images that they need on that cover or in those interiors in the right way. So, um, so they, there was a cover designer for Minecraft, the Crash, um, the, I think it's the same cover de designer that does all of the Minecraft novels that Mojang puts out. Um, so, you know, that was something that had already been planned even before I came on board to do a Minecraft book. Um, Vivian Tow was the person who did the covers for the entire Jumbies series, and Liesel Adams did the, um, illustrations for Mermaid and Pirates. So the cover in all of the interiors, all of those bright, vibrant colors and the, um, the facial expressions that are so amazingly expressive for both Mermaid and Pirate because, you know, they don't speak the same language. So a lot of their, a lot of their communication is non-verbal. And, uh, Liesl was able to, to convey that in the, in the illustrations. Speaker 1 (00:07:55) - Now, your book, Mindcraft, is that based on the video game? Speaker 2 (00:07:59) - It is a world, it is a story set in the world of Minecraft. So the, uh, Mojang wanted me to write a fantasy because that is what I am best known for. I am really well known for writing fantasy, for writing, um, action scenes. And they wanted something like that for, um, their Minecraft world. So they came to me and asked me what ideas I had for it, and I was able to come up with something fairly quickly and write this story in which, um, the main character Bianca gets stuck inside of a virtual reality Minecraft world. Speaker 1 (00:08:44) - So to, did you already know about Minecraft before or did you have to start doing some research or playing the game, or how did that Speaker 2 (00:08:53) - Oh, I, I mean, I knew what Minecraft was because I have, I come from a family of gamers, so literally everybody in my house played Minecraft except for me. I, I get really nauseated, um, playing video games or watching video games, so it's really difficult for me to, to play video games at all. Um, but I did know about Minecraft because I, my kids were younger at the time and they were huge Minecraft fans and they helped me a lot. My son especially, he was 10 at the time I started working on this book and he became the consultant on this Oh wow. Book for me, cuz he would show me how to play the game, you know, for as long as I could stand because again, I do get nauseated. Um, and he would answer all my questions about how things could work in the story and what, you know, I could or could not get away with. And he did such a good job of it that Mojang actually gave him credit on the book as a consultant. So when you look on that, on that title page at the very bottom, his name is on there as a consultant, Speaker 1 (00:10:04) - Minecraft consultant. I like it. Speaker 2 (00:10:07) - Yeah. Speaker 1 (00:10:07) - Talking about your family a little bit more, you said that your, your kids are now somewhat grown. Mm-hmm. , you work from home. Tell us a little bit about the overall journey. Okay. So you told us you started at three years old, you wanted to be a writer or you started writing at three, but like you, did he go to college study literature or English or something? Did he go straight to writing out of college or did he work a job? Tell us a little bit more. Speaker 2 (00:10:37) - Sure. So I did start writing, you know, pretty early. I think I tried to write my very first novel when I was about 12. And that of course was not a success because I was 12 . You know, I really, um, was just starting on my journey then. But I kept writing. I did go to college, I went to NYU and I got my degree in literature. My bachelor's degree is in literature. And then I went back and I got my master's degree in education cuz I thought that I wanted to be a teacher as well. And I was teaching pre-K, kindergarten, second grade, sixth grade. These were all the grades I was teaching. And I found that as a teacher, I was so busy and I was so, uh, involved in what I was doing in the classroom that I really didn't have time to write. Speaker 2 (00:11:33) - So I decided to leave teaching and I then I went into educational publishing. So I became a publisher, um, an editor, uh, for an educational publisher. And that really afforded me more time to write. So while I was editing, I was also writing, and that's how my first book was published. I was, I was able to finish it while I was working as an editor. I would come home at night and write. And after that I was publishing more books while I was working as an editor. And then when the first Jammies book came out, uh, that was in 2015, that's when I decided that I was going to start writing full-time. So it took me, uh, quite a long time. It really was 10 years between my first book being published and, uh, the ju the first Jumbies book being published and me deciding that I could now work from home on my writing solely, um, at that point. Speaker 1 (00:12:34) - That's a pretty cool story. And, and then as far as working from home goes, you get most of your ideas from home, your writing at home, do you have a set location at home to, to do your writing or are you just doing it on the fly? Speaker 2 (00:12:49) - I do have an office. So you are talking to me right now inside of my office, and this is where I do most of my work. I find that it is easier for me to have a specific location where I do most of the work that I, I need to do. But usually when I start a story, it starts in like little bits and pieces. So often I have a notebook that I just walk around with and wherever I get ideas, you know, as I'm walking around or if I'm traveling or whatever, I will write them down in the notebook. And most of my stories begin longhand, even if they are picture books. Even if they are novels, um, they always start longhand. So I start them, you know, writing and it doesn't have to be inside my office that I'm doing that longhand writing, uh, of the initial ideas that can really happen anywhere. Speaker 2 (00:13:45) - But once I start really solidifying what the story is going to be, that's when I come to my office, I sit at my desk, I turn on the computer, and I go to my notes, my handwritten notes, and that's when I start writing. Um, I often then print it out so that I can read it and mark it up long hand. That often happens in my office, but doesn't necessarily have to happen in my office. So I would say, um, you know, like maybe 75% of my writing happens in my office at home, and the rest of it might happen really anywhere. Speaker 1 (00:14:23) - You wrote a piece in the New York Times titled Mermaids Have Always Been Black. What do you mean by that? Speaker 2 (00:14:33) - So when, uh, Disney announced that Halle Bailey was going to play Ariel, there was a lot of pushback about this idea of this black woman playing a mermaid. And people didn't seem to be able, able to grasp the concept that, um, mermaids can literally be anybody, right? Um, I mean, there was the initial kind of ridiculousness of this is a fantasy character, so it doesn't really matter what the race of the fantasy character is, but because of my growing up in Trinidad and Tobago and my particular interest in, uh, folklore, fantasy and mythology from all over the world, but very specifically the folklore, fantasy and mythologies of black and brown people, um, I happened to know that there were a lot of mermaids, um, from various cultures that were black and brown, um, but they didn't have a chance to, you know, like have a Disney movie made about them. Speaker 2 (00:15:44) - So that piece was really about the idea that, um, that mermaids could be anybody from anywhere, but also to introduce the idea that, um, mermaid stories have existed in all of these different places. So for example, um, South Africa, um, has in, uh, a place called Caru has these cave paintings of mermaids from, you know, like millennia ago. And, um, Persia had mermaids. Um, there are ancient stories from China and Japan that have mermaids. Um, the Maori people from New Zealand have mermaids. There are mermaids from, uh, south America and Central America. So, you know, mermaids really can come from anywhere. And the idea that this one particular casting was somehow, um, you know, inappropriate because it was a mermaid and mermaids can only look a certain way was, was a little bit ridiculous. And so that's really what that, um, op-ed was about. And you know, it was after that that my editor, she asked if I would write a Black Mermaid story and I said, yeah, sure. You know, I've always loved mermaids and it had never occurred to me to write a Black Mermaid story particularly. Um, I had touched on black mermaids in one of my series, but you know, not a story that's centered on black mermaids. And that's really where Mermaid and Pyre started. It started because of all of this sermon drawing and then, you know, the op-ed and then my editor saying, Hey, hey, how about a Black Mermaid story? And, and then Mermaid and Pirate was born.
