In this powerful episode, we unpack the Gospel of the Good Samaritan—not as a distant parable, but as a blazing call to become instruments of divine mercy in a distracted world. What does it mean to truly see? To stop? To sacrifice? Join us as we unveil Five Marks of a Good Samaritan that just might change everything—your home, your habits, your heart.Plus, we're excited to share two epic creative projects on the horizon:

Zach Joachim of the Richmond Times-Dispatch joins us. In this interview, we dive into the journey of a seasoned Richmond sports journalist. Zach reflects on what first inspired him to pursue a career in sports journalism and how the Richmond sports scene has evolved over the years. We explore the balancing act between remaining objective as a reporter and supporting local athletes with whom he has built relationships over time. He shares his thoughts on VCU's offseason moves, the feature story he's most proud of, and his dream assignment if he could cover any sporting event in the world. We wrap up with a fun discussion on his personal Richmond "Mount Rushmore" of athletes he's had the privilege to cover.

Friends of the Rosary,July is a month that falls within the season of Ordinary Time, represented by the liturgical color green, which symbolizes hope.It's also the month associated with the Precious Blood of Our Lord, shed for us on Calvary and reassumed at His risen, glorified, and living body at the right hand of God the Father in heaven.The early Fathers say that the Church was born from the pierced side of Christ, and that the sacraments were brought forth through His Blood.It's the Precious Blood made present in Mass by the words of Consecration.

(Aus aktuellem Anlass wiederholen wir diese Woche unsere Doppelfolge zur Iranischen Revolution.)Der bis dahin tödlichste Terroranschlag der Geschichte schockiert im Jahr 1978 die Stadt Teheran. Wer wirklich für diese Katastrophe verantwortlich ist, interessiert in den Wochen danach kaum jemanden. Viel wichtiger ist, wen die Bevölkerung dafür verantwortlich macht. Das Duell zwischen dem Schah und Ayatollah Khomeini läuft auf seinen Höhepunkt zu. Welche Strategie verfolgt der Ayatollah? Warum lässt der Westen den Schah im Stich? Und wie wird die iranische Monarchie zugrunde gehen? Ein Aspekt, den weder der Schah noch Khomeini ahnen, ist, dass in der iranischen Revolution ausgerechnet eine Krankheit Geschichte schreiben wird.Du hast Feedback oder einen Themenvorschlag für Joachim und Nils?

(Aus aktuellem Anlass wiederholen wir diese Woche unsere Doppelfolge zur Iranischen Revolution.)Es beginnt mit der größten Party der Geschichte und endet mit einer Staatsform, die es so vorher noch nie gegeben hat. Von 1941 bis 1979 regiert Schah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi über den Iran und katapultiert sein Land in die Zukunft. Doch dadurch macht er sich große Feinde. Die Islamische Revolution im Iran verwandelt das Land von einem der engsten Verbündeten des Westens in einen seiner ärgsten Widersacher. Welche Schuld trägt der Schah daran? Welche die Geheimdienste der Briten und USA? Und warum tickt der Iran heute so wie er tickt?Du hast Feedback oder einen Themenvorschlag für Joachim und Nils?

I ugens afsnit af Gråt Brændbart er vi nået til andet afsnit i seniordatingserien fra et Alpehotel i Schweitz. Lise-Lotte og Frank er hjemme fra Kærlighedshytten hånd i hånd og i kæmpe højt humør. Martin er sikker på, at det forhold holder igennem hele serien. Anna er lidt mere skeptisk. Ikke fordi hun tror at bejler-Lars med det store konkurrence-gen kommer til at slå Frank af pinden, mere fordi det ville være godt for serien, hvis det ikke holdt.Bente og Kjeld er det nye par. Kjeld spørger Bente om hun ikke er nervøs for at ende med en gammel mand (Kjeld er 8 år ældre end Bente) – Bente er klar med et herligt come-back: ”Jeg blev enke for nogle år siden og min min døde af kræft. Han var 10 år yngre end mig.”JR tager en god snak med Joachim om hans attitude, der bliver jodlet og danset. Der er kort sagt ild i deltagerne og værtsparret Sofie og Joachim kan knap følge med. Men der bliver måske lige gået lovligt hårdt til stålet med alkohol og fest. Ja ja kom ikke her og sig at de unge drikker for meget. Martin Martensen-LarsenAnna Thygesen

An diesem Mittwoch wurden deutschlandweit 170 Wohnungen durchsucht, Computer und Handys beschlagnahmt – im Rahmen eines groß angelegten Polizei-Einsatzes gegen angebliche Hass und Hetze im Internet. 171 Razzien, ausgelöst wegen Posts auf Facebook, X und anderen Plattformen. All das geschieht im Auftrag des Bundesinnenministeriums. Das Ziel ist die Einschüchterung der Öffentlichkeit, konstatiert der Rechtsanwalt Joachim Steinhöfel. Denn es ist kaum möglich für die Betroffenen, sich gegen ein solches Vorgehen des Staates zu wehren. Allein einen Strafverteidiger zu bezahlen, kostet oft mehr, als man sich leisten kann.

Die vierte und letzte Folge unserer Nahostreihe beginnt mit einer Geiselnahme, wie sie brutaler kaum denkbar ist – und endet mit einem Friedensnobelpreis, der alles verändert. Oder doch nicht? Warum wurde Jassir Arafat jahrzehntelang als Stimme der Palästinenser verehrt – und als Terrorpate gefürchtet? Wieso scheiterte der Oslo-Friedensprozess trotz weltweitem Optimismus? Und was hat das alles mit dem 7. Oktober 2023 zu tun? Wir erzählen von der Geburt der Hamas, von Anschlägen, Abkommen und einer Intifada, die das israelisch-palästinensische Verhältnis für immer verändern sollte. Und wir fragen: Was bleibt, wenn sich Hoffnung und Hass über Jahrzehnte ablösen – und am Ende beide verbraucht wirken?Du hast Feedback oder einen Themenvorschlag für Joachim und Nils?

Ein Staat wird gegründet – und ein anderer zerbricht, noch bevor er entstehen kann. In der dritten Folge unserer Nahost-Serie erzählen wir, wie 1948 der Staat Israel ausgerufen wird – und warum dieser Moment für die Palästinenser als „Nakba“, als Katastrophe, in die Geschichte eingeht. Was genau geschah im Dorf Deir Yassin? Warum mussten Hunderttausende Palästinenser ihre Heimat verlassen? Wer waren die großen Gewinner und Verlierer des Palästinakriegs? Und wie erklärt ein israelischer General das alles – mit einer der radikalsten Trauerreden der Geschichte? Wir erzählen von Flucht und Vertreibung, von Gewalt und Gegengewalt – und davon, wie Israels spektakulärster Sieg zugleich die Grundlage für Jahrzehnte neuen Unfriedens legt.Du hast Feedback oder einen Themenvorschlag für Joachim und Nils?

Kann ein Land zwei Völkern gehören? 1920 übernehmen die Briten Palästina mit dem Auftrag, diese Frage zu beantworten. Ihr Plan: Den Juden eine Heimstätte schaffen, ohne die arabische Mehrheit zu vertreiben. Was folgt, ist eine Meisterklasse im Scheitern. Ein Holzparavent wird zum Kriegsgrund, ein Geistlicher zum Terroristen, ein Aufstand zur Katastrophe. 1939 kapitulieren die Briten und wechseln komplett die Seite – ausgerechnet am Vorabend des Holocausts. Das Paradox: Je mehr die Briten vermitteln wollen, desto mehr eskaliert der Konflikt.

Den 1. juli overtager Danmark formandskabet i EU. Politiske analytikere kalder formandskabet for den største udenrigspolitiske opgave i 10 år og stort set alle ministre har meldt ud, at Danmark vil få stor indflydelse på retningen i EU.

Theodor Herzl ist ein Mann zwischen den Welten. Der assimilierte Wiener Jude trägt Schmiss und deutschnationale Ideale, bis ihm 1895 die Dreyfus-Affäre brutal vor Augen führt: Selbst in Frankreich, dem Mutterland der Juden-Emanzipation, brüllt der Mob "Tod den Juden!" In diesem Moment verwandelt sich der Feuilleton-Journalist in den Propheten des Zionismus. Er gründet 1897 in Basel den ersten Zionistenkongress und proklamiert: "Hier habe ich den Judenstaat gegründet." Doch wie entsteht aus einem Traum von Normalität der Grundstein für einen Jahrhundert-Konflikt? Warum ignoriert der visionäre Staatsmann die Warnung eines arabischen Bürgermeisters?

“Danmarks liberale partier sælger ud af de klassiske principper til fordel for konservativt føleri, etno-nationalisme og autoritære sværmerier.” Sådan skrev den liberale forfatter, antropolog og debattør, Dennis Nørmark i en kommentar i Politikken i lørdags. Som eksempler nævner Nørmark blandt andet LAs modstand mod kvindelig værnepligt og afvisning af statsborgerskab til folk med anti-demokratiske holdninger. Joachim er lodret uenig. Han mener modsat, at LA er blevet mere klassisk liberale under Vanopslaghs lederskab. Hør de to liberale debattører tørne sammen i dagens afsnit. Vært: Joachim B. Olsen, debatredaktør på B.T.

Admit it: if you're a fan of classical music—or even just a regular concertgoer—you might have glanced at the title of this episode and done a double take. The Dvořák Violin Concerto? Not the Cello Concerto? One of the things I love about my job as a conductor—and my side gig as a podcast host—is bringing audiences and listeners like you pieces you may never have heard before, even if they're by extremely well-known composers. Don't get me wrong, I love the blockbusters. But there's a special thrill in introducing someone to something new. Now, some of you might already be big fans of the Dvořák Violin Concerto. But in my experience, it's relatively unknown compared to Dvořák's more famous works. I've never performed it myself, and I've only heard it live once. It's not part of most touring soloists' repertoire, and it's just one of those pieces that rarely comes up—especially compared to the Cello Concerto, which I think I've conducted at least once every season since becoming a conductor. This concerto came about much like the Brahms Violin Concerto, the Brahms Double Concerto we talked about a couple of weeks ago, and so many other great 19th-century works: inspired by the sound of Joseph Joachim's violin. Joachim was the great violinist of the 19th century and had been a friend and supporter of Dvořák for many years. Dvořák ended up dedicating the concerto to Joachim, writing: "I dedicate this work to the great Maestro Jos. Joachim, with the deepest respect, Ant. Dvořák." Sadly—and for reasons that remain somewhat unclear—Joachim never performed the piece. That may be one of the reasons it's never achieved the popularity it deserves. Today, in this Patreon-sponsored episode, we'll dive into the concerto, exploring its unusual form, the myriad challenges it poses for the violinist, and perhaps some reasons why it's not part of the so-called “Big Five” violin concertos—even though it probably deserves to be.

Unter Glockengeläut startet im Jahr 1927 die kühnste Reise der Automobilgeschichte. Clärenore Stinnes will als erste Person die Welt im Auto umrunden – 49.000 Kilometer durch Länder ohne Straßen, ohne GPS, ohne Tankstellen. Die 26-Jährige kämpft sich durch sibirische Schneestürme, fährt bei minus 53 Grad über das zugefrorene Eis des Baikalsees, schlägt sich durch die Anden und überlebt vier Tage ohne Wasser in der peruanischen Wüste. Ihre Mechaniker springen ab, nur der schwedische Kameramann Carl Axel Söderström hält durch. Zwei Jahre später kehrt Clärenore als gefeierte Heldin ins Ruhrgebiet zurück – doch der wahre Kampf beginnt erst jetzt.Du hast Feedback oder einen Themenvorschlag für Joachim und Nils?

Hard as it is to believe, 2013's Live At The Great American Music Hall was only Cooder's second official full-length live album. As with 1977's Show Time, he had no intention of putting the emphasis on a new album, but instead performed a great mix of his live classics. His band consisted almost entirely of old friends like Flaco Jiménez and Terry Evans, and family members like son Joachim, Juliette Commagere, and Robert Francis. In this episode, we introduce them – and a few others – and the albums they made with Cooder in the years that followed.This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes.

Nach dem Telefonat von US-Präsident Trump und Russlands Machthaber Putin ist eine Feuerpause in der Ukraine weiterhin nicht in Sicht. Westliche Politiker zweifeln, dass Moskau überhaupt zum Verhandeln bereit ist. Beim ukrainischen Präsidenten merke man zwischen den Zeilen die Enttäuschung über das Gespräch, sagt ARD-Korrespondent Vassili Golod, der gemeinsam mit Host Stefan Niemann das Telefonat analysiert. Selenskyj und die Menschen in der Ukraine ärgerten sich darüber, dass es keine weiteren US-Sanktionen gegen Russland gibt – und dass obwohl Moskau nicht zur Waffenruhe bereit sei. Vergangene Woche hatten russische und ukrainische Delegationen in Istanbul erstmals seit mehr als drei Jahren wieder persönlich miteinander gesprochen. Vassili hat dazu Insider-Informationen erhalten. Demnach hätten sich russische Vertreter provokativ geäußert und den Ukrainern gedroht. Außerdem berichtet Vassili über die aktuelle Lage an der Front, wo es weiterhin heftige Kämpfe gibt. Die Ostflanke der NATO und eine wachsende Bedrohung durch Russland ist das Thema des Interviews von Host Stefan mit Jürgen-Joachim von Sandrart. Der General a.D. ist sich sicher: In dem Moment, in dem Russland das Gefühl hat, „dass das Mittel Krieg aus seiner Sicht legitimiert und zweckmäßig ist, politische Ziele zu erreichen, wird es weitermachen.“ Der ehemalige kommandierende General des multinationalen Korps Nordost in Stettin erklärt, welchen Beitrag die Bundeswehr im multinationalen Kontext leisten sollte und wo Verbesserungsbedarf besteht. Die vom ehemaligen Bundeskanzler Scholz angekündigte Zeitenwende sei eine Zeit ohne Wende gewesen, bemerkt er kritisch.

Dänemark, 1770. Ein König mit Neigung zu Wahnsinn und Masturbation. Eine junge Königin, die zu Fuß durch Kopenhagen spaziert – Skandal! Und ein deutscher Arzt, der erst den Monarchen behandelt und bald das ganze Land regiert. Bei unserer Live-Show am 18.05. in Celle haben wir die Geschichte von Johann Friedrich Struensee, Caroline Mathilde und Christian VII. erzählt – eine Dreiecksgeschichte aus Aufklärung, Macht, Sex, Wahnsinn und ganz großem Drama. Was als romantische Rebellion beginnt, endet auf dem Schafott und einer Exilkönigin in Celle. Die Struensee-Affäre war der Polit-Skandal ihrer Zeit. Und ein Lehrstück über Liebe, Reformwille – und was passiert, wenn man beides zu weit treibt.Du hast Feedback oder einen Themenvorschlag für Joachim und Nils?

It's entirely possible that we would not know the name of Johannes Brahms very well if Brahms hadn't met Joseph Joachim as a very young man. Joachim, who was one of the greatest violinists of all time, had already established himself as touring soloist and recitalist, and he happened to know the musical power couple of Robert and Clara Schumann quite well. Joachim encouraged Brahms to go to Dusseldorf to meet the Schumann's, and the rest is history. I've talked about the Brahms-Schumann relationship dozens of times on the show before, but to keep it very brief, Robert Schumann's rhapsodic article Neue Bahnen(new paths) launched Brahms' career, and until Schumann's deterioration from mental illness he acted as a valued friend and mentor for Brahms. Clara Schumann, as a performer, was a powerful advocate for Brahms' music as well as a devoted and loving friend throughout the rest of their lives. Almost constantly present in this relationship was the sound of Joseph Joachim's violin. Brahms did not have a huge circle of friends, but for the often difficult to get along with composer, Joachim was a musical and spiritual companion. Brahms' legendary violin concerto was written for him, and the two collaborated closely for the entire course of their musical lives, except for one significant break. Brahms and Joachim were estranged for 7 years, until Brahms reached out with a remarkable conciliatory gesture: a concerto for Violin and Cello and that would be dedicated to Joachim. Brahms and Joachim(as well as Brahms and Clara Schumann) had often resolved disputes through music, and this was no exception. Clara Schumann gleefully wrote in her diary after Joachim had read through the piece with cellist Robert Hausmann: "This concerto is a work of reconciliation - Joachim and Brahms have spoken to each other again for the first time in years.” One would expect that a work like this would be beloved, but the Double Concerto has had a checkered history, which we'll also get into later. Clara herself wrote that it lacked "the warmth and freshness which are so often found to be in his works,” It would turn out to be Brahms' last work for orchestra, and one of the few in his later style, which makes It fascinating to look at from a compositional perspective. Partly because of the cool reception it got in its first few performances, and the practical challenges of finding two spectacular soloists who can meet its challenges, the piece is not performed all that often, though I have always adored this piece and am very grateful to Avi who sponsored this week's show from my fundraiser last year before the US election. So let's dive into this gorgeous concerto, discussing the reasons for Joachim and Brahms' break, their reconciliation, the reception this piece got, and then of course, the music itself! Join us!

In this episode, I sit down with Joachim Tantau–a cabinetmaker, artist, teacher, and occasional architect to explore the quiet power of sacred geometry. Joachim works at the intersection of tradition, craftsmanship, and cosmic math. His approach to design isn't just about aesthetics, it's about uncovering the fundamental order embedded in nature, music, architecture, and even the movements of planets.We talk about how flowers, planets, and buildings all share hidden proportional systems; why the Golden Ratio keeps showing up in history and design; and how ancient builders created structures more efficient-and more awe-inspiring-than much of what we build today. We also dig into why beauty is not just a luxury, but a basic human need.If you've ever felt like modern buildings don't quite “speak” to you, this might explain why.CHAPTERS00:00 The Role of Sacred Geometry in Design03:12 Exploring Sacred Geometry08:30 Understanding Sacred Geometry13:27 The Intersection of Geometry and Music17:03 Sacred Geometry in Architecture27:16 The Importance of Beauty in Design39:01 Geometry in Modern Engineering48:53 Rediscovering Wonder in the Modern World54:09 The Distinction Between Pleasure and Enjoyment01:00:17 Connecting Architecture with Nature and Geometry01:06:04 Ancient Architecture and Cosmic Proportions01:11:10 Teaching Sacred Geometry in Design01:17:26 Practical Applications of Sacred Geometry in ArchitectureCONNECT WITH JOACHIM:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joachimtantau/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JoachimTantauLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joachim-tantau-53849055Website: https://www.joachimtantau.com/home.html MENTIONED RESOURCES:The Hidden Geometry of Flowers: Living Rhythms, Form and Number by Keith Critchlow: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12293965-the-hidden-geometry-of-flowers The Dimensions of Paradise: Sacred Geometry, Ancient Science, and the Heavenly Order on Earth by John Michell : https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1443804.The_Dimensions_of_Paradise Sacred Art in East and West by Titus Burckhardt: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/371784.Sacred_Art_in_East_and_West_1st_Edition CONNECT WITH AUSTIN TUNNELLNewsletter: https://playbook.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/austintunnell/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-tunnell-2a41894a/ https://twitter.com/AustinTunnellCONNECT WITH BUILDING CULTUREhttps://www.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/buildingculture/ https://twitter.com/build_culture https://www.facebook.com/BuildCulture/ SPONSORSThank you so much to the sponsors of The Building Culture Podcast!Sierra Pacific Windows: https://www.sierrapacificwindows.com/ One Source Windows: https://onesourcewindows.com/

In der letzten Folge zum Kriegsende 1945 stehen die "großen Männer" im Mittelpunkt. Im Sommer treffen sich Stalin, Truman und Churchill in Potsdam, um die Nachkriegswelt zu gestalten. Während sie um Grenzen, Einflusssphären und Reparationen feilschen, fällt in Japan die Entscheidung für den Einsatz einer neuartigen Waffe. Gleichzeitig entsteht in Nürnberg ein völlig neuartiges juristisches Verständnis, um die NS-Hauptkriegsverbrecher zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen. Was bewegt Truman dazu, die Atombomben abwerfen zu lassen? Wie wird aus einem dramatischen Augenblick der Geschichte die Grundlage für eine neue Weltordnung gelegt, die bis heute fortwirkt? Und, abschließend: war der 8. Mai 1945 eine Niederlage – oder doch eine Befreiung?Du hast Feedback oder einen Themenvorschlag für Joachim und Nils?

This coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Talons of the Sorcerer, Book #6 in the Dragonskull series (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills), at my Payhip store: TALONS50 The coupon code is valid through May 27, 2025. So if you need a new audiobook for spring, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates   Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 250 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is May 2, 2025, and today we're looking at what it is really like to be a full-time writer. This is also the 250th episode of the podcast, so thank you all for listening to the podcast over these last six years. Before I started recording, I totaled up the total length of previous podcast episodes and came to about 78 hours, give or take. That's like three days of continuous talking, which sounds less impressive when you realize it was recorded over the last six years.   Thank you all for listening and here's hoping you can stick around with the next 250 episodes. Before we get to our main topic, which is the expectations versus reality of being a full-time writer, we are going to do Coupon of the Week, a progress update my current writing projects, and then Question of the Week. So let's kick off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Talons of the Sorcerer, Book Six in the Dragonskull series (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store. That code is TALONS50. As always, you can get that coupon code and the links to my Payhip store in the show notes. This coupon code is valid through May 27th, 2025. So if you need a new audiobook for spring, we have got you covered.   Now an update on my current writing projects. I am 60,000 words into Ghost in the Corruption, which puts me on chapter 13 of 21, so I'm about two thirds of the way through. I think the rough draft will be between 90-100,000 words long, so hopefully I can have that out before the end of May, if all goes well. I also just finished Chapter One of Shield of Power, which will be the final book of the Shield War series and that'll be my main project once Ghost in the Corruption is finished. I'm also 87,000 words into Stealth and Spells Online: The Final Quest, and that will be my main project once Shield of Power comes out. I expect Final Quest should come out pretty soon after Shield of Power just because I've been chipping away at it for so long and I'm getting close to the end.   In audiobook news, recording is almost done for Ghost in the Assembly and that'll be narrated by Hollis McCarthy. Recording is totally done for Shield of Deception (as narrated by Brad Wills) and that is working its way through processing at the various audiobook platforms, so hopefully we'll not be too much longer before we can get that to you.   00:02:26 Question of the Week So that is where I'm at with my current writing projects. And now let's move on to Question of the Week. Question of the Week is intended to inspire enjoyable discussions of interesting topics. This week's question, what is your favorite Jonathan Moeller book? The reason for this question is that this is the 250th podcast episode, so it seems like a good topic for that particular milestone. And as you might expect, we had an array of different opinions.   Joachim says: You are kidding us! By the end of the week? How long did you think about your own answer? Let me mirror you: for my own answer, the question is a bit difficult because I spent money on all your books, which meant I thought all of them a good buy. So let me split my answer into male and female protagonists. The best female book was Ghost Exile: Omnibus One because it prompted me to continue with Ghost Exile and fill in the Ghost series later. The Ghosts Omnibus One and Ghost Exile: Omnibus One were my first two books from you. The best male book was the one with Jack March where Thunderbolt said, “males are ogling breasts which never existed”, especially as such AI generated videos are now all over the place on YouTube.   I have to admit that I first came up with the character of Thunderbolt back in early 2021 when I was working on Silent Order: Rust Hand (that was before the AI boom really took off), so she turned out to be a very prescient character for the AI era in a number of ways.   Joe B. says: That is a tough question as there are many contenders. I'm going to go with one that is a little different, Sevenfold Sword Online: Creation, but now known as Stealth and Spells Online: Creation.   Justin says: I nominate Soul of Swords, an excellent end to an excellent series.   Perry says: There can only be one! Demonsouled. Paul says: For me, I think my favorite female protagonist  book is Cloak Games: Truth Chain. Such a dramatic change to Nadia, sets up the series in her struggles with self and enemies so well.   Brad Wills (who as you know narrated the Frostborn, Dragonskull, Malison, and Shield War series for me) says: Does a three book arc count?  Excalibur, The Dragon Knight, and The Shadow Prison made for a fantastic lead-up and finale of the Frostborn series.   Hollis McCarthy (who as you know, narrated the Ghosts and Cloak Mage audiobooks) says: Ghost in the Storm, when Caina and Kylon meet in the Battle for Marsis. Nonstop action, incredible chase scenes, and a great intro to their combative relationship.   Fred says: It's hard for me to say which book is my favorite. All your book series were all great.   Juana says: Frostborn: Excalibur with Ridmark. I happen to love stories about Excalibur, odd but true. Caina in Cloak and Ghost: Rebel Cell because Caina and Nadia are an incendiary team. So there! Randy says: Frostborn: The Dragon Knight. This whole series is great, but that is one of the high points.   Dennis says: I couldn't name my favorite as I enjoy everything you write. I probably enjoyed the Frostborn series best at the time, but having bought and read every one of your books it's now impossible.   Kevin says: There's no way on earth that I could put one book above another, so I would've to take the coward's way out and say Frostborn: The Gray Knight simply because it has a book that drew me to the worlds of Jonathan Moeller back in the spring of 2017, since which time I have bought 117 of his books, including a few omnibus editions, so a few more actual books, I suppose. I avidly read them all as they're published these days, except the Silent Order series (just doesn't grab me and pull me in like the others). Jesse says: Cloak Games: Sky Hammer. Damaged Nadia at her best, epic action the whole way. And yeah, the chapter The Last Death of Nadia Moran was viscerally cinematic and probably the biggest emotional payoff you've written in my opinion, tied her entire journey together. In my head, I cast Castle-era Stana Katic as Nadia, and it worked better than I expected it might.   Morgan says: I can't narrow it down to just one. So top three in no particular order, Sevenfold Swords: Swordbearer, Dragontiarna: Gates, and Stealth and Spells Online: Leveling. That being said, I think Niara might be my favorite character of all your books I have read.   Jonathan T says: I too am torn though only between two books, Frostborn: The Eightfold Knife and Frostborn: The Shadow Prison.   [Side note/addition from The Transcriptionist: My vote is for Half-Elven Thief!]   So thank you everyone for the kind words about all those books. For my own answer, the question is a bit difficult because I've written them all, which meant I thought all of them were good idea at the time. I suppose the glib answer would be the one that made me the most money, which was Frostborn: The Iron Tower, but it really depends on the category, like my favorite heist book, my favorite mystery book, my favorite dungeon crawl, my favorite first in series. So I think I'll go for the most basic level of categorization and split it up by male and female protagonists.   My favorite book of mine with a female protagonist would probably be Cloak Games: Rebel Fist, since it's such a turning point for Nadia and starts the trajectory of the rest of her character arc. It's the first time she really has to save the day instead of just trying to save herself and shows that her brother Russell can also handle himself, which as you know, comes up again later. My favorite book of mine with a male protagonist would probably be Dragontiarna: Defenders, since it has the Battle of Shadow Crown Hill, which was one of my favorite sequences to write. Four different characters have plans and they all crash into each other at the same time, which was a lot of fun to write and set up, which was a real highlight for me in 2020 because as we all know, 2020 was a fun year.   00:07:35 Main Topic of the Week: Writing Full Time: Expectations Versus Reality   So that is it for Question of the Week. Now let's move on to our main topic this week, writing full-time: expectations versus reality (admittedly from the perspective of a self-published author). If you spent any time around the writing community on the Internet at all, you know that many people dream of becoming a full-time writer, and sometimes people think that the only way to be successful as a writer is to write full-time. There are many expectations that people have about what it means to be a full-time writer. Now that I've been a full-time indie writer for nearly nine years at this point, I can provide some lived perspective. In this episode, I will talk about five of those expectations that people have about full-time writing and the way those expectations might be skewed.   So before we get to those, I should mention how I actually became a full-time writer. In 2016 (which seems like a really long time ago now), the Frostborn series was doing really well, and at the time I was also working full time and I realized that summer I was going to have to move for family reasons. I wasn't very enthusiastic about the idea of moving at first, but I decided to embrace the idea and try to make the best of it. This would involve moving a considerable distance to a different state and all the different problems that entails. So I thought about it and I thought I could look for a new job, but any job I would be qualified for in the area I was moving to would make less money than I was actually making from writing part-time. So I thought, why not try and make a go of full-time writing and see what happens?   Since that was nine years ago, I think I can safely say it's worked out pretty well. And I will say that it's been a pretty good experience and I am very fortunate and very grateful and very blessed to have been able to do this because not everyone has the opportunity to pursue a full-time creative job like I have been able to for these last nine years. That said, while it has been pretty great, it comes with a lot of flexibility and I've gotten to write a lot of great books that many people have enjoyed, it's not always all wine and roses, so to speak, which is part of the reason why I wanted to do this episode to let people more in what the reality of being a full-time writer for this long has been like. So with that introduction out of the way, let's move on to our five expectations versus reality.   Expectation #1: Full-time authors make a lot of money. The reality is that even full-time authors generally don't make that much money. A survey from The Author's Guild showed that the median amount that full-time authors make was just about $20,000, though full-time romance writers had a higher median income of about $37,000. Remember that this amount is before any health insurance costs, benefits, retirement contributions, and of course taxes that a traditional job might be able to provide or help with. In the United States, buying even fairly basic health insurance can easily be a thousand dollars per month for a family, and that doesn't include any costs related to deductibles, prescriptions, or additional dental or vision insurance. Authors are either on their own for healthcare in the US or have to rely on a spouse or partner's healthcare coverage. In other words, you either have to pony up a lot of money to buy your own health insurance or you have to rely on your spouse or partner's healthcare coverage.   And at least in the US, taxes are also much higher on the self-employed. Uncle Sam really does not like the self-employed. If you are self-employed, it is in your best interest to essentially form a small corporation and work for yourself (though for details on how to do that, you should consult with an accountant licensed to practice in your region). Now all these costs can add up pretty quickly, and they make the amount of money that you'll earn from writing much less than you think based on raw earnings before taxes and all the other expenses we were talking about. You also have business expenses like cover design, site hosting, editors, narrators, advertising, et cetera, that take even more pieces out of those earnings. You can duck some of those, but not all of them.   So it boils down to that you have to make a significant amount of money as an author to make an actual living after taxes, healthcare costs, and business expenses are taken out of your earnings, which is one of the reasons that writing part-time as you have a full-time job is not the worst idea in the world and can in fact be a very good idea.   Expectation #2: My next book will make as much or more than the last one did. The reality is that your next book or series might not make you as much money as the previous ones did. In fact, you can reliably predict that most book series will have a certain amount of reader drop off as a series goes on, which is why these days I tend to want to keep my series under nine to ten books or so. Budgeting based on your current income levels is not wise, especially with the current economic climate (which for a variety of reasons is very unpredictable) and with increased competition in the ebook market. Most authors have a peak at some point in their career. For example, Stephen King is still obviously making a great living as a writer putting out new books, but his new books don't sell nearly as well as the ones he put out in the ‘80s. J.K. Rowling's novels for adults (she writes as Robert Galbraith the Cormoran Strike series) don't sell anywhere near the number of copies as her Harry Potter series did at its peak.   For myself, my peak years in terms of writing income were 2016 and 2017, and I've never quite been able to recapture that level. In fact, in 2024, I only did about two thirds of what I did in 2017 (my peak year), which can be a little nerve wracking as you watch those numbers move up and down. That is why it is important for a writer (like many other creatives like actors) to anticipate that they might only have a limited window of peak success and to save aggressively rather than living large on the amount you're earning in that peak era. And I am pleased to report that I was fortunate enough and sensible enough to do that, so that even if my income has varied from year to year (2017 onward), it hasn't been a crippling loss and I haven't been out in the street or lost the house or anything like that.   Expectation #3: You will be happier if you write full-time. The reality is that is not true for everyone. Some people actually do better creatively and emotionally with the time restrictions placed on them by having a full-time job. Many famous writers, including Trollope and Kafka, kept their full-time jobs. Even Tolkien was never a full-time writer. He was a professor of philology until he retired. That was interesting to me because personally, I haven't had much in terms of emotional trouble being a full-time writer. I've always kind of had the ability to hyperfocus on a task, and I've been doing that for almost nine years now, and it's worked out well for me.   I've since realized that is not true for many people. One of the things that demonstrated it to me, believe it or not, was insurance actuarial tables. One thing that I tried to do after I became a full-time writer was try and get disability insurance in case I had an accident or severe illness and could not write anymore. I learned that it's extremely difficult for full-time writers to get disability insurance due to their high rates of substance abuse and mental illness. I was astonished by this because I've never had problems with substance abuse or mental illness myself, but given the number of writers and other creatives I've known who have had those issues, perhaps that's not that surprising, but I was still baffled to learn that.   For example, in my area there are a number of tree management companies (because it's a heavily wooded area) and it's a lot easier for an arborist who works with a chainsaw all day to get disability insurance than it is for a writer, which is somewhat crazy to think about because as a writer, I'm mostly sitting in a chair all day pressing buttons on a keyboard while an arborist is climbing a tree or in a crane with a chainsaw, which is a much more physically dangerous thing. But because of the rates of substance abuse and mental illness among full-time writers, apparently it is very difficult for full-time writers to get disability insurance. Some people struggle with the lack of structure and outward accountability that comes from being a full-time writer and find that actually decreases their productivity and leads them to fall into substance abuse or sink deeper into mental health problems. Very few people have the self-discipline and mental resilience required to be a full-time writer for years on end. And that's not me tooting my own horn so to speak, but apparently it is just the facts. Some writers even go back to full-time work just because they find it less stressful or better for their wellbeing. So I think this is an excellent example of having to know yourself and know what is best for you. For example, if you're a very extroverted person who enjoys talking to people at the office, becoming a full-time writer where you spend most of your time by yourself typing might not be the best for your long-term mental and physical health. Expectation #4: Writing full-time will make me more productive. The reality is having more time does not necessarily mean that you'll be more productive. Writers are notorious for falling prey to time wasters, such as social media scrolling, research spirals, and writing adjacent activities (of which there is a whole series about on this podcast already). It does take a lot of a self-discipline, focus, and determination to be a full-time writer. If you are a full-time writer, especially a full-time indie writer, you also have to balance writing time with various administrative tasks, marketing and ads, social media, fan correspondence, and the various tasks involved in the self-publishing process. Writing is not the only thing that writers actually do, and the other tasks often make finding time for writing more difficult than you might expect. Even traditionally published writers still have to carve out time for administrative work and assisting with marketing and social media work.   As your writing career scales up, so does the behind the scenes workload. This is true in my case. Up until 2023, I basically did everything myself, but I did have COVID pretty badly for a while in 2023 and it just knocked out my energy for a while and I realized that I can't keep trying to do everything by myself. I basically had a choice, either cut some tasks or get some help. So I have some people now, some contractors who help me with things like listening to audiobook proofs (I used to do that all myself), doing the podcast transcript, and Excel record keeping (which I used to do myself). While that is an expense, I don't regret it because it really has taken a lot off my plate and freed up more time for writing, which of course is the entire point.   Expectation #5: I admit this one made me laugh. I will have more free time as a full-time writer. I can attest firsthand that that is not true. What you have as a full-time writer is flexibility. The reality is, although there is flexibility on the job, the hours can be more than for a full-time job. There's a joke that full-time writers can work any 12 hours they want every day.   Most indie authors are putting out far more than one book a year in order to make a full-time income, and that requires a fairly demanding pace that most people don't have the self-discipline to maintain as a lifestyle for years and years on end. The majority of full-time writers right now are either romance or erotica writers who are putting out at least a book a month, sometimes even more. As I mentioned in an earlier point in the show, the administrative task can take far more time than most people would imagine. They could, depending on the circumstances, be easily 40 hours a week on their own before you have time to do a single word of writing on the page. I found you really have to guard your writing time well and find ways to keep administrative tasks, distractions, and necessary tasks such as home maintenance or childcare separate from writing.   Anyone who has ever worked from home is familiar with how difficult that can be because home comes with a wide set of distractions. Granted, that's often fewer distractions than the office, but home can have its own set of distractions. I've mentioned before that you need a bit of tunnel vision to produce the quantity of writing I do month after month. I do keep to a pretty rigid schedule. I have daily word count goals I always try to meet and I use the Pomodoro Method to make sure that I'm prioritizing my writing time.   If you are self-employed and working for yourself, that means there are no allocated vacation or sick days and no paid sick leave in the writing world. Taking a couple of weeks off usually means anticipating a loss in income, such as a month without a book being released. Sometimes, especially in the case of illness, family emergencies, and so forth, that just can't be helped. However, the long vacations people imagine writers being able to take mean either a loss of income or a couple of weeks beforehand of working extra hours to make up for it. For example, Brandon Sanderson, who is probably the most famous fantasy author right now, still works and writes on his vacations and does extra work before leaving for a vacation (such as pre-recording videos).   So as you can see, most of the expectations people have about what it's like to write full-time come from the hope that it will change their productivity or make it easier to write. In reality, if you manage your time well, you can often meet all your writing goals even while working another full-time job. Some people are even more productive under the time pressure of only having an hour or so available to write each day. You don't have to wait until you are a full-time writer for your writing career to start. I wrote for decades and published for years before I was a full-time writer.   Frankly, the idea that you need to be a full-time writer in order to be taken seriously or make money exists only in your own mind. Whether you are a full-time writer or not, what matters is having the discipline to shut out distractions and write with absolute consistency regardless of the circumstances. Even writing 250 to 300 words every single day can add up very quickly, even if you don't do it in 15 minute bursts like Anthony Trollope did.   Finally, I suppose this makes it sound like I'm painting a very bleak picture here, but I'm not. As I said before, I'm very fortunate to be able to do what I do, and I'm very grateful to all my readers that I'm able to write full-time and even hire on contractors for narration and behind the scenes work. I appreciate and am very grateful to all the readers who have supported me by continuing to buy my work and access it through subscription services like Kindle Unlimited or Kobo Plus or library options like Libby and Hoopla.   So that is it for this week. I hope it provided some insight into what it's like to be a full-time writer. Thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show and all 250 episodes. I hope you found the show and all 250 episodes useful.

When critics hinted Maurice Prendergast was getting a little repetitive as he approached 50, he could've hung up his brushes. After all, he'd been pretty successful. Instead, he headed back to where it all began--Paris--and came away reinvigorated with “a new impulse,” as he called it.   Today's episode takes us to the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC.
