In this fun, fast-moving episode of Reading With Your Kids, we're heading to Eternia—by way of your family's favorite reading chair. Jed welcomes syndicated cartoonists Stephan Pastis and Will Henry to celebrate their hilarious new illustrated middle grade novel, The Adventures of He‑Man and Porter #1: Skeletor Ate My Homework. Stephan shares how Porter Avery's obsession with Masters of the Universe action figures creates real trouble both at home and in Eternia—especially when Porter's dad confiscates the Power Sword and He‑Man suddenly loses his in the other world. Stephan and Will talk about what it's like to collaborate when both are used to doing everything themselves, from writing to drawing. They dive into the challenges of humor, the near-impossible odds of becoming one of only about 200 syndicated cartoonists in the U.S., why bikes and Battle Cat are so hard to draw, and how comics can be a lifeline for reluctant readers. Then we switch gears and welcome back Adina Oberman to celebrate her joyful board book H Is for Hanukkah: A Festival of Lights ABC Primer. Adina talks about weaving in Jewish traditions from around the world, why board books are powerful "mirrors and windows" for little ones, and how play-based, shared reading in early childhood lays the foundation for a lifetime of learning and empathy.
On this episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes two sets of guests whose books highlight just how powerful stories can be—for thrills, for connection, and for healing. First, Jed chats with Marissa Meyer and Tamara Moss, co-authors of the YA murder mystery The Escape Game. Set on a reality TV escape-room competition, the book follows Sierra, returning to the show where her sister Alicia was murdered—determined to unmask the real killer. Marissa and Tamara share how the idea was born from an art-heist escape room, how their 20-year friendship began with Sailor Moon fan fiction, and how writing across continents turned into a "24/7" drafting process. They talk about why teens—especially girls—are drawn to dark, twisty stories, the joy and challenge of co-writing, found family dynamics, and weaving humor and puzzles into a high-stakes mystery that keeps most readers guessing wrong. In the second half, Jed welcomes debut picture book author and longtime teacher Dina Hardt to celebrate Catch of the Day. Inspired by a photo of her brother fishing, the story was first written over 20 years ago and lovingly revised after her brother Anthony's passing. Dina describes how bringing the story back became part of her healing, seeing her brother's spirit in both words and illustrations. She reflects on the bond between grandparents and grandchildren, perseverance on the fishing dock, and the quiet faith of knowing we're not alone. Dina also shares how she gets her fourth graders excited about reading and writing, and why family read-alouds—at any age—truly matter.
The year of the upset keeps rolling on. On Saturday, Song Yadong added another to the long list of epic upsets in 2026 when he brutally knocked out Umar Nurmagomedov in the main event of UFC Shanghai.

LT and Jed get you ready for UFC Shanghai, starting with the main event between Umar Nurmagomedov and Song Yadong. The guys go through the rest of the card including Denise Gomes matching up against Yan Xiaonan, Aoriqileng vs. Kai Asakura and Bilal Hasan vs. Nilson Rojas. Also, Dana White has made it a point to talk about Contender Series fighter pay. For a promoter who famously doesn't enjoy discussing pay, why is White all of a sudden talking about how much money the UFC pays out?

In this powerful episode, Jed Doherty welcomes Jackie Baker, author of Messy Mourning: Hope for Mothers Grieving the Loss of a Child to Suicide. Jackie shares the heartbreaking story of her firstborn, Sebastian—a bright, curious, book-loving boy who grew up in a home where reading, faith, and family were central. She recalls sweet memories, from anatomy books at home to anxiously awaiting new Harry Potter releases, painting a vivid picture of a joyful, inquisitive child. As Sebastian entered high school, Jackie and her family began to notice serious changes: depression, anxiety, poor choices, and eventually substance use. Despite treatment, psychiatric care, and rehab, Sebastian struggled with bipolar disorder, experiencing manic and depressive phases. After an earlier attempt, he ultimately died by suicide, leaving Jackie, her husband, and daughter to navigate overwhelming grief, guilt, and unanswered questions. Jackie and Jed discuss the unique stigma surrounding suicide loss, especially in faith communities, contrasting it with how people respond to deaths from accidents or illness. Jackie speaks honestly about unhelpful comments, lingering shame, and the harmful notion that suicide is simply "selfish," reframing it instead as the tragic end of profound suffering and illness—much like an advanced cancer. Jackie explains how her Christian faith, scripture, and a loving church community became her anchor, and she offers practical ways to support grieving families: specific help instead of "let me know," showing up, avoiding platitudes, and being willing to listen and remember the child. Later in the episode, Jed talks with Paul Curley, author of Camp Counseling Mastery, who shares how playful, intentional camp activities can build children's language, confidence, and social skills, especially through movement, fun, and "accidental learning."

In this joyful episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes librarian and debut middle grade author Haley Neil to celebrate her spooky-silly new book, Greta Grimsdark and the Normal New Neighbor. Haley shares stories from her work in the library, where she spends her days covered in slime, leading "Make and Play" programs, and helping kids discover books they truly love—especially those transitioning from graphic novels to more text-heavy stories. Haley and Jed shine a big spotlight on librarians as unsung heroes, describing libraries as hubs for early literacy, STEM, crafts, and community support, especially for families who rely on them for internet access and free programming. Haley encourages families to "library hop," talk to their librarians, and never hesitate to ask for book recommendations. They dive into Greta Grimsdark's world, where Greta's parents are dragons, her brothers are ghosts, vampires, and zombies—and Greta herself is the "scariest" thing of all: a human child. Haley describes the book as "Addams Family meets Junie B. Jones" with "cute Wednesday Addams vibes"—a lower middle grade, highly illustrated story perfect for bedtime read-alouds, classroom reading, and precocious independent readers. Beneath the funny, eerie surface, Greta's story explores friendship, identity, difference, and belonging, including casual representation like a brother who uses sign language. Haley also talks about bibliotherapy—using books to help kids process big feelings and tough topics—and the joy of writing for kids, caregivers, teachers, and librarians all at once. Throughout, Jed and Haley return to their shared mission: helping families read together, talk together, and grow together through stories. Jed also welcomes back Ginny Neil, former longtime teacher turned nature-loving picture book author, to celebrate her new title A River of Wind. Ginny shares how a magical encounter with tiny "spiderlings" floating on silvery threads sparked the idea for the book, which explores all the surprising things that travel on the wind—from familiar sights to hidden wonders high above our heads. Drawing on more than 38 years in the classroom and her life in the mountains, Ginny reflects on how nature, curiosity, and hands-on exploration shape both her writing and her teaching. She and Jed talk about the lasting impact of COVID on kids' social and fine motor skills, the loss of unstructured play, and the pressure to "schoolify" young children too early. Ginny argues passionately for giving kids time outdoors, space to ask questions, and freedom from constant screens and supervision so their natural curiosity—and STEM thinking—can flourish. They also discuss bullying prevention, the importance of building a culture of respect instead of just running short-term programs, and how parents can nurture curiosity simply by modeling it themselves and involving children in everyday problem-solving. Throughout, Ginny's deep love for kids, learning, and the natural world shines through, along with her joy in visiting classrooms and creating books that invite children to look closer, wonder more, and fall in love with the world around them.
The guys talk about Dolly Parton, football, and Chinese buffets. They also learn about tampons and power rank casino games.You can follow the show on X/Twitter: @passthegravypod, @AlexJMiddleton, and @NotPatDionne

Damon Bruce Plus: Warriors, 49ers, Giants, A’s Bay Area Sports Talk
The 49ers are supposed to be talking about Melbourne. About the Rams. About Nick Bosa's return and George Kittle's Achilles and whether this is finally the year they close the deal and bring a Lombardi Trophy back to Santa Clara. Now it's about Jed's reckless choices. Jed York has never been the most popular figure in San Francisco. The Super Bowl losses. The coaching carousel before Shanahan. The stadium deal. 49ers fans have had a complicated relationship with him for years — but they've tolerated it because the product on the field was worth tolerating it for. This is different. This is personal. This is embarrassing. And it doesn't go away. Is this the most damaging off-field story in 49ers history?
College football's Wild West somehow just got wilder. Former NFL players are heading back to the SEC, LSU is loading up with guys fresh off professional rosters, Tennessee's Arion Carter however is still suspended over a $427 flight, and now the SEC presidents and chancellors are weighing in on the madness. Meanwhile, 49ers owner Jed York was arrested in a prostitution sting, and Cleveland's quarterback situation remains a full-blown dumpster fire with Deshaun Watson named QB1 and Shedeur Sanders behind him.Plus, Caitlin Clark explodes for 37 points, an Alabama high school finally snaps an incredible 101-game losing streak, Max Johnson's college career continues at Georgia Southern, Tennessee hands the offense to true freshman Faizon Brandon, and Falcons rookie Jack Strand gives us one of the best football stories of the year. We also discuss Mitch McConnell's prolonged absence from public view and why Washington continues pretending situations like this are normal.Sen.

In this inspiring episode of the Reading With Your Kids Podcast, Jed welcomes Renee Nault from Vancouver Island to celebrate her YA romance graphic novel Salvage. Set in a future reshaped by climate change, Salvage follows Paulo, a teen who lives on the tidal flats scavenging from drowned cities. When he discovers a suitcase full of designer clothes, he sneaks into the wealthy uplands for "just one night" and unexpectedly falls in love—forcing him to juggle class divides, secrets, and the ticking clock on his double life. Renee shares how living outside Bangkok, Thailand, riding past riverside shacks on stilts, first sparked the idea for this powerful story about inequality, privilege, and the dreams of young artists. She talks about working entirely old-school with pen and paper, how she "thinks in pictures," and why all her characters are, in some way, different parts of herself. Listeners will especially appreciate her honesty about class frustration, artistic ambition, and how those emotions shaped Paulo's anger and passion. Jed and Renee also explore how Salvage can open up rich family conversations about climate change, social media, class, friendship, and making things right when we've hurt someone. In the second half of the show, Jed chats with Gayle Veitenheimer and Jen Weaver, co-authors of The Kingswell Kid Detective Series. They introduce The Mystery of the Missing Falls, a faith-based middle grade mystery featuring cousins, secret maps, Cherokee history, and gentle, accessible conversations about prayer, hearing God, and growing in faith together as a family.
When Misty Coy Snyder received a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis during the early days of the pandemic, fear and uncertainty shaped much of her pregnancy. But when her son Jed was born, the joy she experienced changed everything—and eventually inspired the community known as Happiness Is Down Syndrome.Misty returns to the podcast to talk about her new book, Happiness Is Down Syndrome: Strategies and Support for Parents at Every Stage. Designed as a practical companion for families, the book brings together personal stories, expert guidance, helpful resources, and the voices of people with Down syndrome. It covers everything from diagnosis, grief, and early intervention to IEPs, inclusion, advocacy, sibling relationships, and adulthood.Misty and Heather discuss holding grief and joy at the same time, taking each season as it comes, and why parents don't need to figure everything out alone. They also explore what “happiness is Down syndrome” really means—not a life without difficulty, but a life filled with deep connection, ordinary joys, and unexpected goodness.This is an encouraging conversation for parents, educators, extended family, and anyone who loves someone with Down syndrome.Show Notes: Learn more about Misty at MistyCoySnyder.comFollow Misty @MistyCoySnyder Follow @HappinessIsDownSyndrome --------------------------------------------Thank You to Our SponsorsDown For Greens creates practitioner-formulated, third-party-tested greens specifically designed with the nutritional needs of the Down syndrome community in mind.Learn more: https://downforgreens.co Promo code: LUCKY — get 50% off your first order.ENABLE Special Needs Planning helps families create coordinated plans for the future by bringing together the vision, financial, legal, and practical pieces of special needs planning.Free resource: Who Will Carry What?

Join host Jed Doherty for a joyful, imagination-filled episode featuring two wonderful picture book creators: Keith Negley, author-illustrator of "The Beginner's Guide to Being a Wizard," and Wanda Arlene Barajas, author of "Carina and Sabi: A Journey to the Heart of Cidra." In the first half, Keith shares how a quirky old diary, The Journal of a Disappointed Man, inspired his hilarious new series, The Beginner's Guide. He explains how he mixes the serious "voice" of a how‑to manual with completely ridiculous wizardly details—like emergency cheese, space pie, and strict duel etiquette (no summoning Grandma… she's way too powerful!). Keith talks about testing jokes on his kids, constantly collecting ideas from everyday life, and starting his stories with strong visual images that make kids eager to turn the page. He also describes his journey from editorial illustration to children's books and the "Gandalf" mentor who gave him permission to trust his own creative instincts. In the second half, Wanda takes listeners on a warm, heartfelt trip to Cidra, Puerto Rico through Carina and Sabi. She introduces Sabi, a magical Paloma Sabanera (an endangered pigeon found only in parts of Puerto Rico), and explains how the story celebrates nature, heritage, and the pride of growing up Puerto Rican. Wanda and Jed swap personal memories of Puerto Rico—coquí frogs, family, festivals, and food—and explore how stories can help all children, whether or not they're Puerto Rican, feel curious about other cultures while becoming more proud of their own.
In this heartwarming episode of the Reading With Your Kids Podcast, Jed welcomes author Sara Amini and illustrator Juana Medina to celebrate their beautiful new picture book, "Luisa at Your Service." Inspired by Sara's mother's childhood in the small Colombian town of Salento, the story follows young Luisa, a spirited girl who guides international backpackers through her beloved community, proudly sharing its culture, joy, and sense of togetherness. Sara explains how her mother's memories of an open, trusting town—where "everyone knew each other and nobody locked their doors"—sparked the book. Seeing Juana's finished illustrations was an emotional moment: Juana not only captured the spirit of Salento but quietly slipped in visual tributes to Sara's family and history. For Sarah, this book is also a gift to her eight‑month‑old son, a way to connect him to his Colombian roots and show him that his family's stories matter. Juana shares how meaningful it was to honor Sara's mother's life while still bringing her own artistic vision, creating a kind of love letter to Colombia and to all who feel nostalgic for home. Together, they and Jed talk about books as mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors—helping children see themselves, encounter other cultures, and recognize our shared humanity. In the second half of the episode, Jed is joined by author Becky Cerling Powers to discuss her picture book "Wherever I Go," a child-friendly retelling of Psalm 139. Becky talks about kids learning through play, the power of rhyme and movement in faith formation, and why honoring children's development—rather than rushing it—is crucial for raising joyful readers.

In this inspiring episode, Jed welcomes Julie Abe, author of the cozy middle grade fantasy The Magic Library of Waterfall Way. Julie shares her 15-year journey to publication, reflecting on the countless rejections that almost made her give up—and how those "no's" eventually inspired the determined, big-hearted characters she writes today. Julie explains what makes her stories "cozy fantasy": yes, there are magical adventures, book dragons, and real stakes, but readers always feel emotionally safe. Her goal is for kids (and the many adults who love her books) to close the book feeling uplifted, hopeful, and comforted, even when the characters face tough challenges. We meet Lyra Hunt, an 11-year-old girl branded with an "unremarkable fate" in a magical world where children must find a guild or face banishment to a mist full of dangerous creatures. Lyra's last chance is the little-known Guild of Scholars and their one quest: fixing a magical library. Julie reveals how Lyra's feelings of not being talented enough mirror her own insecurities as a writer—and how books became a lifeline and refuge for both of them. Julie and Jed also talk about the power of family reading and co-reading, and how Lyra's story can spark conversations about friendship, rejection, belonging, and the way books expand our empathy. Later in the episode, Jed is joined by Fran Litch, author of Weeper, who talks about bullying, grief, and how fiction can gently open the door to difficult but necessary conversations with kids.
The couples head to the real world. And we learn a lot…Billy hates sweets and flight attendants, Ashdhrjridjdhruyrjfh's dad may or may not be an '80s metal icon, Cal loves everything about Sarover, mostly her accent. Her ACC.ENT. But it turns out we only get every other word Cal says. We learn Javen is the baby of his family… and is a massive disappointment, as we expected. Then we have the all skate where Sophie proves she is NOT a girls girl, and her vagina is on display. And on an upside…Anu finally sings. In the most cringe way possible. And Megan proves to be the downest of all bitches. Oh, and Jed and Bardah were there too. All this and more on this episode of "shut the fuck up, Nick lachey". Where is that guy?
In this inspiring two-part episode, we celebrate how stories, service, and family reading can shape kids' character and courage. First, Jed welcomes Mark Fava, former naval flight officer, longtime Navy Reservist, and aerospace executive, to talk about his debut picture book "Andy the Admiral and the USS Shipshape." Mark shares how his adult leadership book evolved into a children's story that turns classic Navy lessons—teamwork, being on time, telling the truth, thinking ahead, and showing respect—into fun, shipboard adventures. He describes the joy of seeing the illustrations for the first time, the care he took to get every Navy detail right (down to the "gig line" on a uniform), and his vision for the Ship Shape Shipmate series. Together, Jed and Mark reflect on why these "old-fashioned" values are still exactly what kids need today, at home, in school, and in future STEM and aviation careers. Then, Jed is joined by Nicky Girl, a 26.5-year military veteran, substitute teacher, and debut author of "Omar and the Super Tails: First Day of School." Inspired by her son's many first days as a military kid and her beloved kindergarten and first-grade students, Nikki explores first-day jitters with warmth and humor. Listeners meet Omar and his wonderfully diverse classmates—each with unique strengths and challenges—navigating that big, scary, important first day. Nicky and Jed talk about honoring children's feelings, stepping away from screens to have real conversations, and using picture books as lanterns to help "little lights become legends."

In this warm and wide–ranging episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes back three beloved guests with brand–new picture books that celebrate courage, representation, and creativity. First, Kelly Starling Lyons returns to share Writing Magic, a tender story about Dom, a little girl from a family of Black riders who longs to ride a big horse named Magic but is scared. Kelly talks about the book's unforgettable launch on the very farm where the real horse, Ardent (Magic in the book), lives—and how kids got to meet the horse, the family models, and even handle real horse gear. She explores the rich, often overlooked legacy of African Americans and horses, from Black cowboys like Bass Reeves to modern "Black cowgirls" such as Caitlin Gooch of Saddle Up and Read, who blends literacy with horses. Kelly also shares how families can use the book to talk with kids about their fears, dreams, and what kind of support they really want from the adults who love them. Then Jed is joined by author Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen and illustrator Leeza Hernandez to celebrate Cats in Conductor Hats, the follow-up to Cats in Construction Hats. They pull back the curtain on their unusually collaborative author–illustrator relationship, from early brainstorming with their editor to playful "Easter eggs" like a recurring Highland cow in a bathtub. Leeza talks about the challenge of drawing trains that feel whimsical but not too realistic, and Sudipta describes how tiny real-world moments—even a cow on train tracks in Newark—can inspire big story ideas. Throughout, the conversation shines with humor, heart, and a shared belief in the power of stories to build confidence, curiosity, and connection in kids and families.
In this episode, Jed welcomes back author and educator Kelly Tooman to celebrate her new picture book, "The Birthday Triplets and the Pony Race Adventure." Kelly, who spent many years in Montessori education and now leads virtual creative writing workshops, shares how her background shaped this whimsical, heart-centered story. The book follows triplets Cookie, Candy, and Coco, who live with their magical Granny Rosie and travel to an adventure factory where they bring birthday joy to someone who is sad or lonely. Kelly explains that this particular adventure centers on forgiveness and empathy. When Candy faces a mean-spirited rival in a pony race, she must decide whether to ignore his distress or stop to help him, even though he tried to ruin the race. That choice opens the door to powerful family conversations about kindness, compassion, and doing the right thing when it's hard. Throughout the conversation, Jed and Kelly talk passionately about the importance of reading physical books, nurturing imagination, and giving kids unstructured playtime. Kelly praises Montessori's multi-age, curiosity-driven approach and voices concern about how screens, over-scheduling, and early academic pressure can erode children's focus, creativity, and joy. Later, Jed is joined by attorney and author Ted Sutton, who introduces his middle grade book "Greenback's Book of Law: Everything You Need to Know as Told by a Friendly Dog." Ted shares how his golden doodle narrator helps kids (and parents!) understand contracts, civics, voting, and everyday law in an accessible way—filling a gap left by traditional schooling and empowering families to be informed, engaged citizens.
In this episode of the Reading With Your Kids Podcast, we're celebrating two powerful picture books that spark big conversations in families. First, Jed chats with Dr. Linda Booth Sweeney, author of Do Bees Pee? The Curious and Amazing Ways Nature Avoids Pollution. Linda shares how a giggle-worthy question opens the door to serious science, systems thinking, and hope-filled conversations about our planet. She explains how nature "thinks in loops, not lines"—turning waste into food and showing us brilliant, closed-loop designs that can ease kids' eco-anxiety. From bees and elephants to parrotfish that help make sandy beaches, Linda invites families to use humor, curiosity, and hands-on experiences to reconnect with nature and feel empowered rather than overwhelmed. Then, Jed welcomes Dr Esau McCaulley, author of Isaiah Johnson and the Big Game. Esau introduces us to Isaiah, a young ballplayer whose dad arrives late to the championship game. Instead of the parent swooping in as the hero, this story gently flips the script: Isaiah must decide whether to forgive his imperfect father. Esau talks honestly about failing as a parent, raising Black children in America, weaving faith into stories without preaching, and creating picture books that both kids and adults genuinely enjoy. Together, these conversations celebrate curiosity, compassion, and the simple, life-changing message every child needs to hear: "You are loved, no matter how you perform."

Patreon is no ads and discounts for DopeyCon: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Episode summary Dave opens the Wednesday Dose of Dopey by responding to a listener who noticed he seemed a little off. He talks honestly about the pressure of producing five shows a week, his obsessive pursuit of Jason Mewes, the strange sadness that follows surrender, and what's coming together for DopeyCon. Then JD shares a terrifying story from his twenties: three sleepless days inside a Mississippi trailer with an ounce of cocaine, crack, beer, no food and almost no water. After a massive shot leaves him conscious but completely unable to move, his friend helps bring him back—only for JD to immediately smoke the biggest crack hit of his life. Dave remembers Annie Ellie and Brian “Hot Wheels” Connolly through comments from the Dopey Nation before welcoming back Jed Payne of Church & Other Drugs and Rehab Bromance. Approaching one year sober after years of concealed relapse, Jed talks about going from addiction counselor to treatment patient, sharing a room with former clients, working at a coffee shop with teenagers, and accepting the humiliation required to rebuild his life. He explains how CBD and “microdosing” became the beginning of his return to getting high, why clinicians in recovery need somewhere safe to struggle, and how easily helping addicts can replace doing your own recovery work. Then things get properly Dopey: Jed recalls shooting cocaine while a police officer stood beside the car, injecting a bright-blue ecstasy pill in a gas-station bathroom, boofing two more pills before work, rolling with his hands submerged in marinara sauce, and eventually passing out on the prep table. Jed and Dave also discuss 7-OH, smoke-shop opioids, Sublocade, coming off Suboxone, emotional recovery after relapse, staying present, and the small daily actions he is using to become a man of his word again. All that and STILL MORE on the newest Wednesday Dose of Dopey! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This morning's 7AM Hour where Jed wants Joe to take the red pill, we are playing the power ball, and we want you to bully us! Stream all of the segments here!
Jed texted Joe something completely out of the blue... and Joe is scared him out of his mind...
In this inspiring episode of the Reading With Your Kids Podcast, Jed welcomes two incredible creators whose stories celebrate history, heart, and big dreams. First, Jed chats with Emma Otheguy, author of the new middle grade novel Adventure in the City of Stories. Emma takes us to New York City in 1930, a moment when skyscrapers were racing into the sky, the subway was rapidly expanding, and Latino literary luminaries like Pura Belpré, Gabriela Mistral, and Arturo Schomburg were quietly changing history. Through time-traveling cousins Jorge, Segi, and Camila, Emma uses adventure and magic to help kids explore immigration, identity, and the power of stories—without the dry textbook feel. She also shares how reading memoirs and digging into old fire insurance maps at the New York Public Library helped her bring the past to vivid life. Then we travel (in the present!) to Chile to meet Fernanda Frick, creator of the middle grade graphic novel Raise the Bar. Fernanda introduces us to Sam Sánchez, a teen who dreams of becoming an Olympic weightlifter, even when the odds—and the adults—say it's nearly impossible. Fernanda talks about researching elite athletes, drawing thousands of panels, and turning a canceled animated series into a richer, more honest book that tackles burnout, pressure, and choosing your own path. This episode is a celebration of reading together, dreaming big, and truly seeing our kids—whether they're curled up with a novel or chasing an Olympic barbell.

Yesterday afternoon Joe, Katie, and Jed went to see the new Spider Man movie... and there was some controversy with the seating arrangement!
Thriller writers hear the advice all the time: get to the inciting incident fast. But what happens when you get there so quickly the reader has not had time to care? In this episode of The Dialogue Doctor Podcast, Jeff Elkins sits down with author Jed to look at the opening chapters of a corporate thriller with a romantic subplot. Jed's story begins with a stolen item, a veiled threat, a high-pressure professional team, and the kind of tense setup thriller readers expect. The problem is not that the opening lacks conflict. The problem is that the story may be moving so efficiently that the reader does not yet know who to emotionally follow. Jeff and Jed dig into one of the trickiest craft problems in thriller writing: how to use third-person omniscient POV without making the reader feel unanchored. They talk about "head-hopping," the difference between omniscient narration and a guiding narrator, and how a small narrative guide can help direct the reader's emotional experience through a big cast. They also explore why a thriller opening may need a little more character interaction before the crime lands, how dialogue can make a professional team feel alive, why a front-loaded letter may distance the reader, and how to balance fast pacing with enough emotional connection to make the tension matter. Watch this episode if you are writing a thriller, working with a large cast, struggling with POV, or trying to figure out how to make your opening chapter feel tense, cinematic, and emotionally grounded. Because a great thriller does not just start with something going wrong. It starts with readers knowing exactly why they should care.
This episode of the Reading With Your Kids Podcast is a joyful celebration of creativity, family reading, and the power of stories to travel across generations. First, Jed welcomes Buzz McLain, longtime journalist and debut picture book author of "Where There Are More Than Two." Buzz's playful, read‑aloud rhyming book introduces kids (and their grownups!) to the wonderful world of collective nouns—from a murder of crows to a band of gorillas. He shares how a simple writing exercise turned into a picture book that sat in a drawer for ten years before children's book coach Barbara Leary helped him bring it to life through self‑publishing. Buzz talks about the joy of seeing grandparents read his book to their grandkids, why senior centers and libraries are powerful audiences, and how dedicating the book to his granddaughter made publication day especially emotional. Buzz also treats listeners to some unforgettable stories from his journalism career—like being Chuck Berry's roadie for a night and spending hours interviewing soccer legend Pelé—and he and Jed reflect on classic rock, lasting music, and sharing what we love with our kids. Then Jed is joined by Grace Gidman, author of the middle grade fantasy "Wilhelmina Tip: Lost in the Imperial City." Grace introduces her richly imagined world of floating islands, coal‑powered airships, and gem forests, and a brave 11‑year‑old heroine separated from her family in a vast sky city. She talks about world‑building, writing with heart, and weaving in themes of identity, belonging, and unconditional love—all perfect for families who enjoy reading and discussing books together.
In this inspiring episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes Janie Nitze, co-author of the picture book Heroes of 1776, to shine a light on the real human courage behind the Declaration of Independence. Speaking from historic Concord, Massachusetts, Janie shares how her background clerking for Justice Neil Gorsuch and their shared concern about the decline in civic education led them to create a children's book that doesn't just march through events, but highlights the sacrifices of men, women, and even children of the Revolutionary era. Janie explains that many of the Declaration's 56 signers paid a steep price—homes destroyed, family members lost, fortunes diminished—and most expected to be hanged for treason when they signed. She wants kids to see that they acted not for their own comfort, but for future generations, passing a torch of liberty that now rests in young readers' hands. Janie and Jed talk about the troubling statistics on civic knowledge and her hope that families will read rich, substantive books together, join debate clubs, and encourage kids to serve their communities and learn to "disagree while being agreeable." Janie also celebrates illustrator Chris Ellison, describing how his art brings to life powerful stories like teenage messenger Emily Geiger and 10-year-old soldier Richard Lord Jones. In the final segment, Jed talks with Cheryl Hellner, author of Sing Up the Earth, a layered picture book about art, nature, loss, and renewal. Cheryl describes how children connect with different threads—animals, grief, hope, or creativity—and how picture books can nourish both kids and adults at many stages of life.
There is something that Jed's girlfriend sent him on TikTok that might have completely ruined this particular food for him for life.
In this warm and wide-ranging episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes two guests who are using stories to nurture both imagination and emotional resilience. First, Julie Kim joins us from Washington State to celebrate her new book, Korean Folk Tales for Kids. Julie shares how she carefully chose ten tales—from hilarious trickster stories to thoughtful, heart-centered narratives—that feel both deeply Korean and universally human. She talks about "The Gratitude of the Zelkova Tree" and how it reflects our relationship with nature and the environment, and why she deliberately updated certain traditional tales to move away from outdated, misogynistic elements while keeping their humor and wisdom. Julie also gives us a peek into her art style, blending Korean folk art color palettes with classic European illustration influences, and explains how she uses color and light to create an emotional "temperature" on every page. Then we head to New Jersey to meet Deana Plaskon, psychotherapist and creator of the Bella and Bird: Emotion Explorer series. Inspired by her real-life horse Bella and their experience surviving Hurricane Ian, Dina wrote picture books that help kids explore anger, sadness, happiness, and fear. She explains how equine therapy works, why horses can be powerful partners in healing, and how Bella (the calm guide) and Bird (the funny sidekick) model healthy ways to name and manage big feelings. Each book includes practical, research-based tools—like box breathing—for kids and caregivers.

Jed shares how a casual conversation turned into buying the team just three weeks later, why he eventually purchased its arena, and how he transformed a traditionally unprofitable ice rink into a growing community-driven business.They break down the economics of owning a hockey team, the multiple revenue streams behind operating an arena, and why creating an unforgettable live experience is essential for keeping fans coming back. Jed also explains how the team rebuilt its relationship with the local community, reached nationals every season, won a championship, and created a business that extends far beyond selling tickets.Connect with Rich on Instagram: @rich_somers
