Why does this press call itself unnamed, how has it succeeded and what are the challenges of being an independent press? Along with asking about the role of multimedia, the vision of challenging the status quo and how the impact of published books is measured, those were the opening questions posed by Michael Krasny to publisher Chris Heiser. A dialogue followed related to the publishing of poetry and the importance of how a book looks and feels and Chris Heiser spoke of bookcases as embodiments of personal histories. A discussion of social media, marketing and book selling challenges then moved forward along with a question from Michael Krasny about a series from Unnamed Press on contemporary women's writing and what Chris Heiser believes the effects Artificial Intelligence will have on the book business and recent actions toward book censorship. What followed was a discussion of five unnamed books Chris Heiser felt were "truly representative" of the literary press he runs, including the classic imprint of an Edith Wharton novel and four other books all, as Michael Krasny pointed out, by academic authors with PhD degrees. Krasny then brought up the essential importance for readers of engagement and the size of different genres as well as John Barth's declaring the death of the novel. Heiser spoke of the diluting power over books of other media, whereupon Krasny asked him what it means to be literary and a rich conversation followed about the role of the reader. This vital and deeply informed and informative conversation concluded with Krasny asking about the role of translation, the influence on Heiser of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and how and why Heiser sought out a career in publishing.

Description: In this special episode, we welcome Barnard College professor and accomplished author, Jennifer Finney Boylan, back to the show to discuss her latest labor of love, her book Cleavage, which examines the divisions – as well as the common ground – between the genders, and reflects on her experiences, both difficult and joyful, as a transgender American. Jenny discusses the importance that things like nuance,imagination, patience, empathy and understanding hold in our divided world, reflecting on her experiences as a transgender woman and noting that for many, “living your best life is not necessarily a political decision, but a matter of life and death.” The ultimate thing she wants, Jenny says, is just to be left alone, to live her life and to be free. Segments Bless & Release: Gender stereotypes *** Thought-provoking Quotes: Conversations about trans-women in sports are complicated and demand nuance, patience, and imagination. For us to be defined by the most difficult and controversial aspects of our existence is really unfair. – Jennifer Finney Boylan I'm not a woman with an asterisk. At 66 ½ years old, my life has a lot more in common with other women my age than you would think. My life does not revolve around me trying to sneak into your daughter's soccer game. My life revolves around my family, and reading, and teaching my students, and working in the garden, and things that I hope would seem very familiar to people. – Jennifer Finney Boylan These are hard times. But we do know that hard times come and hard times go. And, whatever this moment is, is not forever. Although I can't underestimate exactly how hard it is to be singled out by the President of the United States as a person who specifically is not deserving of love or respect or basic human kindness. – Jennifer Finney Boylan Nobody goes from male to female in hopes of getting a better deal. – Jennifer Finney Boylan I hope people will pick up and read Cleavage not because they want to understand more about the trans business but because they want to know what sorts of choices people can make when they feel that the world is against them and there is no room for them. I have found, against all odds, that there is room for me, that I have been loved, and, on a good day, the world is full of joy and humor. – Jennifer Finney Boylan Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Cleavage: Men, Women, and the Space Between Us by Jennifer Finney Boylan Mad Honey: A GMA Book Club Pick: A Novel by Jennifer Finney Boylan Roxane Gay She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders by Jennifer Finney Boylan Jennifer Finney Boylan's New York Times articles - https://www.nytimes.com/column/jennifer-finney-boylan I Am Cait (Caitlin Jenner Show) - https://tv.apple.com/us/show/i-am-cait/umc.cmc.38b55qpveo4xdxypnk03xfvmp Torrey Peters - https://www.torreypeters.com/ Kate Bornstein - http://katebornstein.com/ Trans Bodies Trans Selves: a Resource Guide for the Transgender Community - http://transbodies.com/ John Barth - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Barth Ben Hatmaker's marathon post - https://www.instagram.com/p/DGI6wt2OyBL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Cleavage Tour Schedule - https://us.macmillan.com/tours/jennifer-finney-boylan-cleavage/ Guest's Links: Jenny's website - https://jenniferboylan.net/ Jenny's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jenniferfinneyboylan Jenny's Twitter - https://x.com/JennyBoylan Jenny's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JenniferFinneyBoylan/ Jenny's Medium - https://medium.com/@jennyboylan_97964 Connect with Jen!

In questa puntata di Alice andiamo a Bellach vicino a Soletta per incontrare Peter Bichsel. Classe 1935, originario di Olten, con le sue rubriche uscite per trent'anni sulla Schweizer Illustrierte e con i suoi numerosi racconti è tra le voci più autentiche e tra le penne più brillanti del nostro panorama letterario svizzero. È lui a dirci che la letteratura non è responsabile per la salvezza del mondo ma ha il potere di unire le persone. Vale senz'altro per la grande letteratura, quella di Bichsel, delle sue storie brevi come quella della Signora Blum e del lattaio, o della poiana che dà anche il titolo alla raccolta uscita per Casagrande. E vale per Paul Celan che ritroviamo nel carteggio con Gustav Chomed raccolto nella pubblicazione di FinisTerrae curata da Anna Ruchat che Moira Bubola intervista per Alice e vale anche per John Barth e Il coltivatore del Maryland considerato una tra le opere più importanti del secondo Novecento e tra le massime espressioni della letteratura postmoderna. Francesca Rodesino ne parla con l'anglista Luca Briasco.undefinedundefinedundefined
Po raz czwarty zapraszam Państwa na spotkanie z Johnem Barthem. Tym razem prezentuję drugą jego książkę - "Koniec drogi" (1958). przekład
Cat Rambo lives, writes, and edits in the American Midwest. Their work has appeared in such places as Asimov's, Weird Tales, and Strange Horizons. They were the fiction editor of award-winning Fantasy Magazine (http://www.fantasy-magazine.com) and appeared on the World Fantasy Award ballot in 2012 for that work. Their story "Five Ways to Fall in Love on Planet Porcelain" was a 2012 Nebula Award finalist. John Barth described Cat Rambo's writings as "works of urban mythopoeia" -- their stories take place in a universe where chickens aid the lovelorn, Death is just another face on the train, and Bigfoot gives interviews to the media on a daily basis. They has worked as a programmer-writer for Microsoft and a Tarot card reader, professions which, they claim, both involve a certain combination of technical knowledge and willingness to go with the flow. In 2005 she attended the Clarion West Writers' Workshop.

John Barth (1930-2024), who died on April 2, 2024 at the age of 93, was America's leading writer of metafictional and post-modern fiction. This interview was conducted by Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff on November 12, 2001 in the KPFA studios, while on the book tour for the novel Coming Soon. John Barth began to receive notice for his two earliest novels, The Floating Opera and End of the Road in the late 1950s, but burst on the scene with his epic comic novel about colonial life in Maryland, The Sot-Weed Factor, and his allegory of the Cold War, set on a university campus, Giles Goat-Boy. His short story collection, Lost in the Funhouse and novella collection Chimera cemented his reputation as a writer of meta-fiction, as the stories zoom back on themselves and on the writing of those stories. From Wikipedia: “In his epistolary novel LETTERS (1979), Barth corresponds with characters from his other books. Later novels such as The Tidewater Tales (1987) and The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor (1991) continue in the metafictional vein, using writers as protagonists who interact with their own and other stories in elaborate ways. His 1994 Once Upon a Time: A Floating Opera casts Barth himself as the protagonist who on a sailing trip encounters characters and situations from previous works.” After the 2001 interview, he continued to work in the same vein with a triptych of novellas, Where Three Roads Meet in 2005, interrelated short stories set in a retirement community, The Development: Nine Stories in 2008, and Every Third Thought: A Novel in Five Seasons in 2011. A, book of collected stories was released in 2015 and Postscripts (or Just Desserts): Some Final Scribbling came out in 2022. This interview was both the last interview conducted with Richard Lupoff as co-host, and the final interview recorded and edited on analog tape. This program was digitized and edited in July 2024 by Richard Wolinsky. The post John Barth (1930-2024), Master of Metafiction appeared first on KPFA.

Dama z podkastu Znalezione Przeczytane i niżej podpisany Gentleman, LAUREACI LITERATURY, POEZJI I SZTUKI WSZELAKICH zapraszają do wysłuchania wyjątkowej rozmowy, którą mieli okazję odbyć w podróży.(00:15) Miłe złego początki, czyli fragment, gdzie Laureaci usiłują zacząć nagrywać, ale wiele dzieje się wokół i nie wychodzi im to. Łaskawie upraszają o życzliwość PT Słuchaczy, gdy wprowadzają na orbitę poznawczą - Wspaniałą Prowincję Maryland(06:10) Rozmowa zmierza do przedstawienia prawdy o dwóch utworach "The Sot Weed Factor", a napisanych przez dwóch AUtorów, a (z)referowanych przez licznych NARRAtorów. Wspominają także Pana Sławomira Magalę, który napisał tę ksiażkę na nowo po polsku, który powinien za to dostać Orła Białego jak nic, bo nie można wykluczyć, że zrobił to lepiej niż Barth. (14:10) Laureaci próbują ustalić, czy jest to powieść historyczna czy histeryczna, ale przy okazji interesuje ich wiele różnych i bardzo przyziemnych spraw. (26:15) Zostaje wprowadzony świat przedstawiony, w szczególności piękne i wesołe kolonie brytyjskie. Miejsca pełne szarmu i sprawiedliwości, piratów, przemytników oraz - literalnie - burdeli na kółkach. (40:00) Laureaci rozmawiają o demitologizacji historii (której nie znają), autoironii i humorze i dowcipie (którego są pozbawieni) oraz o Henrym Burlinghamie III, które to rozważana prowadzą do wniosków na temat prywatności, RODO-SRODO i okolic. (48:00) Twórczość i psotmodernizm mają swoje pięć minut, kiedy Laureaci Literatury stają się Laureatami Poezji (bardziej niż zwykle). Wspominają też Homera, ale na szczęście krótko. Przypominają również wielce szanownego rycerza Don Kichote oraz jego Wiernego Sługę. Laureatka, wspomina takoż o nawiązaniach do tradycji hamerykańskiej, która dla Laureata jest mocno odległa. (55:00) Fragment, gdzie Laureat okazuje się Abnegatem, a Lauretka - Laureatką. Co okazuje się w rozmowach na tematy różne. No i w końcu pojawia się również Pocahontas! (70:00) Laureaci żegnają się, ale - podobnie jak James Bond - powrócą wkrótce. Rozmawiają też o planach czytelniczych i obiecują tyle, ile tylko mogą. (72:00) Pamięci Ebena Cooke'a, Poety i Laureata Prowincji Maryland. Cześć jego pamięci!Bostońska herbatka 250 lat później @Podkast Amerykański John Barth OPOWIADAĆ DALEJ Spotify | Apple

In honor of two recent John Barth reissues—The Sot-Weed Factor and Chimera, both Dalkey Archive Essentials—John Domini (The Archeology of a Good Ràgu, The Color Inside a Melon, and this appreciation of Barth, among other works) and Max Besora (author of the intro to Sot-Weed Factor along with the very much Barth inspired The Adventures and Misadventures of the Extraordinary and Admirable Joan Orpí, Conquistador and Founder of New Catalonia) joined Chad W. Post to talk about these two titles and Barth's overall impact on the literary scene. It's a long, interesting conversation with a Spanish superfan and a former student of Barths.

Inside John Barth
What makes a good podcast host? That's a question many of us ask! What gives a Podcast its "hostiness" and makes you want to come back for more again and again?“There's almost nothing about hosting and really by implication producing and that, that quality – I did not coin the term 'hostiness,' that comes from I believe PRX many years ago – but it's, it's this ineffable quality that makes us go 'oh, I love listening to Ira Glass,' or Jad Abumrad of Radio Lab, or Anna Sale, or Brené Brown, or whoever we connect with, and different people obviously connect with different hosts. But what is that makes us connect?”-- Elaine Appleton GrantMy next guest has actually been on this podcast before. She's an award-winning journalist, audio producer, and on-air talent who worked for three NPR affiliates before founding Podcast Allies, LLC in 2019. She hosts the podcast Sound Judgment, a master study in great podcast hosting, and I'm certainly honored to have her here. In fact, you might have heard her review of this podcast read out on a recent show. Her show features today's best hosts, and producers, including Glynn Washington, host of Snap Judgment, John Barth, founding producer of Marketplace, Ann Bogel of What Should I Read Next, and Stephanie Wittels Wachs of Last Day. Her production company, Podcast Allies, develops narrative and conversation podcasts for social impact organizations, such as the Environmental Defense Fund and the American Academy of Pediatrics, so her background in audio is pretty extensive.Her name is Elaine Appleton Grant, and I'm looking forward to getting her take on what she feels makes a good podcast and a great host. With all the interesting people she's interviewed, she's bound to have a very informed opinion.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes. If you have questions for me, visit www.audiobrandingpodcast.com where you'll find a lot of ways to get in touch. Plus, subscribing to the newsletter will let you know when the new podcasts are available.

Both those things really help – and I'd love to feature your review on future podcasts. You can leave one either in written or in voice format from the podcast's main page. I would so appreciate that. The Voice of GodAs we start the episode off, the discussion turns straight to podcasting, its storytelling strengths, and the powerful role it plays in audio branding. We talk about her work with John Barth, developer of the famous Moth Radio Hour, and Elaine and I discuss audio trends in everything from television commercials to movie trailers, and how modern audiences have outgrown the classic "voice of God" Hollywood voice-overs. As Elaine puts it, "it's like the end of the newscaster voice." Ways to Get AttentionOur conversation continues with a look at how multi-tasking and our always-on-the-go lifestyle have changed the tone and purpose of advertising. "We're all trying to find ways to get attention," she says. "There are effective ways, there are good ways, there are ways with integrity, and there are ways that you and I might argue are less so." We talk about how this very podcast got its start and the audio trends, both good and not-so-good, that helped inspire its focus on sonic branding. An Ineffable QualityElaine tells us about the start of her podcast Sound Judgment and her search for the true meaning of “hostiness,” a word she borrowed from Jay Bear to describe that perfect chemistry with a host that brings the...

Scroll down for takeaways you can use from today's show. About the creatorsGilbert King and Kelsey Decker are the team behind Bone Valley, a groundbreaking, 9-episode true crime podcast from Lava For Good. The series explores the case of Leo Schofield, a man convicted of murder in a gross miscarriage of justice. King, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Devil in the Grove, and Decker, a producer with a background in sociology and oral history, came together in a four-year quest to peel back the layers of Schofield's case, uncovering startling new evidence and chilling confessions that are a call to action for long-awaited justice and redemption.Takeaways from Gilbert King and Kelsey Decker1. Does your idea need to be told in audio? Bone Valley did. As storytellers, we have many formats to choose from. So how do you know when your idea is well-suited to audio, versus a book, a film, or a video? As an author, King's first instinct was to write a longform article about Leo Schofield's case. But as soon as he and Decker talked with Leo, they realized that the story begged for audio. “The power of their voices made us pivot,” King says. “I don't think they would have been the same in print. I love the way their voices break and crackle and emote.”2. Start with a sound visionSecond, you may have noticed that King and Decker had a pretty clear “sound vision” for Bone Valley. I always remember producer John Barth saying, in episode 2, “You have to have a distinctive sound vision.” When he develops a new show, he imagines the kind of listener he wants to attract. That determines what the show needs to sound like. In Bone Valley, the two producers made sure to simply lay out fact after fact, so the listener couldn't escape the conclusion or emotion. They used both sound design and language to create a work of narrative nonfiction and made sure not to sensationalize or cheapen the story. Furthermore, Decker could hear how the narration should sound in her head. She and other producers directed King to voice the narration to match that sound. And sound designer Britt Spangler attended story conferences – and helped shape the scripts from the start.3. Podcasts are a team sportGilbert King won a Pulitzer for his book Devil in the Grove. So you might imagine he had nothing else to learn as a writer. But he'd never done a podcast before. His early drafts were written for the page, with too much narration, and quotes, which don't work in audio. When he and Decker hooked up with the production company Lava for Good, he learned from their producers how to write for the ear.

The Six Biggest, Most Surprising or Useful Lessons our Hosts Identified in 20221. The host defines the brand of your show.2. Hosting changes the host—not just as a storyteller and performer, but as a human being. 3. Great performances are valuable, whether that's a million-dollar signature story in a keynote speech or the captivating storytelling and connection skills of a great host. 4. We must challenge unconscious bias about the kinds of voices that are perceived as acceptable. 5. Narrative isn't simply important, it's the way we experience the world, define our identities, and make meaning. Sharing stories builds empathy. When we revise our own stories, we change our lives. 6. To stand out from the competition, we need to constantly think of how to be "better than good," as Jay Baer puts it. BONUS: Podcasting is a team sport—not simply because of the variety of skills and tasks involved in producing a great show, but because collaboration with colleagues who make you feel safe enables courageous, vulnerable creativity. We will almost always do better work in collaboration than we will completely alone.

How to be a great host: John Barth's takeaways1. What is “hostiness?” This is where John shines as both a talent recruiter and a content developer. As he says, he's always looking for ‘the blue M&M” — “that special voice.” “It's a combination of very different factors. There's a likability in someone's voice or style. There's this innate sense that I'd really like to spend more time with them. There's also this range of curiosity and joy and versatility that comes across when you encounter hostiness. But it's that compelling nature, that if you saw them live on stage, you'd never want the show to end.” 2. Consistent sound matters, and improves with a good host-producer partnership.“Anybody who uses their voice professionally, you want to get to a consistent sound. If a good host can hear what makes them sound good in front of an audience, you want to implant that sound in their head. [As a host], after a while, you know your own range — and even on an off day, you can pull that out.” John's job as an executive producer? “Helping talent be the very best talent they could be behind a mic.”3. For a more natural and dynamic sound, talk about your passions before taping. John coached a reporter who'd never before had voice coaching. “First, I let her talk about the story, about her passions. When people talk about their passions, they automatically get a bigger range. You hear more color in their voice. So then, when it came to reading a script, we would do it again and again. And I would listen for moments of passion…and hold up the mirror. After a while, you hear the joy come out.” And then, John says, they would rehearse that script again and again, going over the most difficult and most promising parts. Often, he would direct her, saying, “Take me back to that scene that you're describing and feel that in the sentence.” When they finished, she couldn't believe how great she sounded. “Sometimes, we just don't know what our own voice can do. And you need a coach, another pair of ears to say, ‘Ooh, that really did work.'”4. “We're not enthralled by copies. We're enthralled by originals.” “The goal is certainly to read the script, but your voice and style is loose enough that you can really bring some expression of life to it. There's nothing worse than sounding like Walter Cronkite with the forced intonation and forced pattern. That doesn't mean credibility.”5. A host defines the brand of the show. “When you're hiring a host, the host really does imprint their own sound, voice, and style on the show. So it actually begins to define the brand that you're creating. [On Marketplace] it took me a while to get to a host who embodied the sound that I heard from the show… There was an editorial vision, but there was also a sound vision. And it needed to be distinctive. I always imagined how the audience was listening to the show and the kind of listener I wanted to attract. So that had to be a certain sound.”6. How to prep before taping. “Our goal (at Marketplace) was to laugh uproariously before we went into the studio to do the live show. So we would tell a funny joke or dirty joke; we would be really snarky in his (David Brancaccio's) office. My job was to get [David Brancaccio], as a host, not only loosened up, but comfortable with a real range of emotion. So by the time that mic went on, he could really bring his full self to whatever he had to do in those 30 minutes. I mean, it was so much fun.”7. What producers do “It's sort of like directing theater and being a writer and being a cat herder. And, you know, everything all at once. People have no idea what producers really do.” (Elaine) 8. Choose to learn storytelling from the very best — The MothWhen John first saw The Moth on stage, he went back to his boss at PRX, Jake Shapiro, and said, “We have just found our first hit.” He then became a key member of the team that developed The Moth Radio Hour. “The Moth knows probably more about hostiness than anyone. So if you think that storytelling is just getting somebody on a stage to tell their story into a mic, you don't appreciate what The Moth does to get to The Moth sound. Their process is so respectful of finding not only the true story of the storyteller, but the voice of the storyteller and the hostiness of the storyteller.” 9. Just because we are accustomed to a conventional broadcast voice does not mean it remains relevant today. Experiment. [About the search for a host of Reveal and the choice to hire Al Letson]“What we needed for that show was a voice and a host who would help us redefine what investigative reporting would sound like. And that's why Al was a natural choice for that job.”10. Bring your identity to your story, and be transparent about it. In Mississippi Goddamn, Al Letson and producer Jonathan Jones (J.J.), tell the listener where they were born, what their races are (Black and white) and where they have lived. “Most journalists are trained to remove themselves from the story,” John says. ‘But that's a false construct; you never really do.” Of course, he says, there are objective facts. “[And] it's your eyes, your ears, your notes… And then it's also layered by all the experiences that help you see what you see or what you notice or what you miss…It's a false neutrality [to remove oneself from the story], because we're all individuals…It's rare to hear this acknowledged so plainly, but it really does need to happen that way, especially in a story like this.”More about John BarthToday, John Barth runs his own firm, Creative Media LLC. He does talent recruitment and content development for clients in public media, news and social impact. He also coaches people in their media careers. For 16 years, John was the Chief Content Officer of PRX, named by Fast Company magazine as one of the Top 10 Most Innovative media companies. He led the design and launch of Reveal with The Center for Investigative Reporting and The Moth Radio Hour, both Peabody Award winners. He was the founding producer of Marketplace and worked at Audible as director of original content.A note about Sound Judgment: We believe that no host does good work alone.

A reading of a story
“Peak performance is nothing more or less than getting our biology to work for us rather than against us.” – Steven Kotler A state of flow is an optimal state of consciousness when we both feel our best and perform our best. In this episode, Brian interviews Steven Kotler, one of the world’s leading experts on human performance. Steven shares how to achieve flow and unlock peak performance – those moments in time when the impossible becomes possible. Topics discussed include: why our biology is hardwired for three levels of goals, why practicing distraction management is key and why there is power in invisible skills. YOU WILL LEARN: Why everyone can access flow. How to trigger flow. How to focus and achieve complete concentration. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: https://www.stevenkotler.com/ Flow Research Collective https://www.flowresearchcollective.com/radio “The Art of Impossible,” by Steven Kotler “The Rise of Superman,” by Steven Kotler “Flow,” by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: “Whenever you see people accomplishing the impossible, you tend to see people in a state of flow.” – Steven Kotler “Flow is a massive amplification of skills.” – Steven Kotler “I work for the boss. The boss is who I am yesterday that made my to-do list.” – Steven Kotler “In peak performance, motivation gets us into the game. Learning allows us to continue to play. Creativity - creative problem solving - it's how we steer. And flow, which is a state of optimal performance, is how we turbo-boost the results beyond all reasonable expectation.” – Steven Kotler “If you use the system the way it's designed to be used, you just get farther faster with a lot less fuss.” – Steven Kotler “You can never have too many arrows in your quiver.” – John Barth https://www.TheBrianBuffiniShow.com http://www.brianbuffini.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brian_buffini Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brianbuffini Twitter: https://twitter.com/brianbuffini Theme Music: “The Cliffs of Moher” by Brogue Wave

The scope of women's political history is so vast that it can't be covered by one podcast. This week Amended host Laura Free introduces a special episode from And Nothing Less, a seven-part series from the Women's Suffrage Centennial Commission and PRX.

Ideal Para Llevarte O Regalar Productos Del Podcats De Ivoox. (Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Quiet Riot es una banda estadounidense de Heavy Metal que, entre 1983 y 1984, contribuyó al éxito del llamado glam metal en los años 1980. Son conocidos por su éxitos «Metal Health» y «Cum On Feel the Noize». La banda se fundó en 1973 por el guitarrista Randy Rhoads y el bajista Kelly Garni bajo el nombre original de Mach 1, antes de cambiar el nombre a Little Women y finalmente a Quiet Riot en 1975La formación original estaba formada por el vocalista Kevin DuBrow, Randy Rhoads, Kelly Garni y el baterista Drew Forsyth. Su formación actual no cuenta con ningún miembro original, y consiste en el vocalista Jizzy Pearl, el baterista Frankie Banali, el bajista Chuck Wright, y el guitarrista Alex Grossi. El nombre Quiet Riot viene de una frase en la novela de John Barth de los años 1960 Giles Goat-Boy. Están en el número 100 de los 100 Mejores Artistas de Hard Rock de VH1 lograron vender unas 16 millones de copias en Estados Unidos y a nivel mundial sus ventas superan los 60 millones de copias. Kevin DuBrow, el vocalista original y en mayor tiempo en la existencia de la banda, fue encontrado muerto en su casa en Las Vegas, Nevada el 25 de noviembre de 2007.La causa de la muerte se debió a una sobredosis de cocaína. Quiet Riot se separó temporalmente después de su muerte, pero fue recientemente revivida por Banali en 2010.Los cuatro miembros originales, grabaron su primer álbum Quiet Riot, o (QR I), que fue lanzado en Japón en 1978. Meses después, el bajista Kelly Garni dejó la banda. Después de reemplazarlo con Rudy Sarzo, el segundo álbum Quiet Riot II, o (QR II), fue grabado y lanzado en Japón en 1979. En noviembre de 1979, después de fallar el lanzamiento de un álbum en Estados Unidos, Randy Rhoads siguió el consejo de su amigo Dana Strum y se unió a la banda de Ozzy Osbourne. DuBrow y Forsyth trataron de mantener la banda unida después de la separación de Rhoads. De 1980 a 1982 el nombre de la banda fue cambiado a DuBrow.Después de la muerte de Rhoads en un accidente de avión el 19 de marzo de 1982, DuBrow quiso reformar Quiet Riot. Ninguno de los miembros originales estaba interesado, así que el hermano de Tony Cavazo, Carlos, se unió como guitarrista, Sarzo se unió de nuevo a la banda en el bajo, y un amigo de Rudy, el baterista Frankie Banali, completó el grupo. En septiembre de 1982, con un poco de ayuda del productor Spencer Proffer, firmaron con CBS Records en América, y el 11 de marzo de 1983, su primer álbum en América Metal Health fue lanzado. (Sus dos álbumes previos, QR I y QR II, no habían sido lanzados todavía en los Estados Unidos). El 27 de agosto de 1983 fue lanzado el segundo single de Quiet Riot «Cum on Feel the Noize», un cover del éxito de Slade en 1973. Estuvo dos semanas en el número 5 de Billboard en noviembre de 1983. Fue la primera canción de heavy metal en estar en el Top 5 de Billboard y también la primera canción de Slade grabada por el grupo. El éxito de «Cum on Feel the Noize» ayudó a Metal Health a alcanzar el top de Billboard en álbum Pop, siendo el primer álbum de heavy metal en alcanzar el puesto #1. Un álbum en el #1 y un single en el Top 5 era lo mejor para una banda de heavy metal en 1983. El álbum Metal Health también destronó del #1 al álbum Synchronicity de The Police. Metal Health abrió el camino a un nuevo y más fuerte estado comercial del heavy metal. Metal Health se quedó en el puesto 1 por solo una semana, hasta que el álbum Can't Slow Down de Lionel Richie alcanzó el número 1 por tres semanas. El siguiente álbum del grupo, Condition Critical, fue lanzado el 7 de julio de 1984, y fue una decepción crítica y comercialmente, vendiendo solo 3 millones de copias. El lanzamiento incluía de nuevo un cover de Slade, el single «Mama Weer All Crazee Now». Frustrado, DuBrow empieza a mandar cartas a bandas metaleras nuevas en Los Ángeles sabiendo que su éxito era en parte debido a su éxito "ennow that their success was in part owed to the past successes of Quiet Riot". Esto condujo a Sarzo a separarse del grupo en 1985. El puesto de bajista en Quiet Riot fue cubierto por Chuck Wright de Giuffria.Luego, la banda lanzó QRIII en 1986, que fue otra decepción comercial. Cansados de DuBrow, el resto de Quiet Riot lo despideron de su propia banda y lo reemplazaron con el vocalista Paul Shortino. Chuck Wright a su vez fue reemplazado por Sean McNabb. La banda lanzó su álbum Quiet Riot en 1988, que también fue otro fracaso. Este álbum de 1988 técnicamente tenía el mismo nombre que su primer álbum original con Randy Rhoads. La banda cayó después de un tour que terminó en Hawaii en 1989 y DuBrow peleó para tomar el control de la banda.DuBrow y Cavazo formaron Heat, pero eventualmente cambiaron el nombre a Quiet Riot de nuevo y lanzaron Terrified (1993) con Banali y Kenny Hillery (Bajo). Ese mismo año, DuBrow lanzó The Randy Rhoads Years con canciones de los abumes de Quiet Riot de Columbia Records y algunos materiales no lanzados previemente. Hillery se fue en 1995 y se suicidó el 5 de junio de 1996; Wright se reunió al grupo para tocar el Bajo. La banda lanzó Down to the Bone ese mismo año. El siguiente año, la banda lanzó un Greatest Hits, que no incluía ninguna de las canciones de los dos discos originales de Rhoads y nada de los dos álbumes de los 90's, pero si tenía unas cuantas canciones del álbum de 1998. Después de eso, Rudy Sarzo se unió de nuevo en 1997, y la banda salió de gira.La gira no fue lo que se esperaba, y la banda fue arrestada en varias ocasiones; un fan molesto demandó a DuBrow por lesiones sostenidas durante una presentación. El grupo siguió, y lanzó Alive and Well en 1999, que contenía nuevas canciones muchos éxitos nuevamente grabados. Ellos siguieron a este álbum con Guilty Pleasures en 2001.Quiet Riot oficialmente se separó en febrero de 2003, y Sarzo se unió a Dio en el siguiente año. Pero ellos reformaron el grupo en 2005. Esta nueva unión uncluye a DuBrow, Banali, Wright, y el guitarrista Alex Grossi. La banda fue presentada en el Rock Never Stops Tour en 2005 junto a Cinderella, Ratt y FireHouse. En 2004, DuBrow grabó su primer disco en solitario, In for the kill, una colección de covers. En 2006 Chuck Wright y Alex Grossi dejaron la banda, formando L.A. Guns / Brides of Destruction. El guitarrista Tracii Guns se unió a la banda en 2006 y la dejó dos semanas después, por diferencias musicales. El último disco de estudio de Quiet Riot, Rehab (álbum), fue lanzado en octubre de 2006. Las últimas presentaciones de la banda fueron en el festival glam Rocklahoma y en un concierto gratuito a mediados de septiembre para miembros de servicio de la base aérea Kessler AFB en Biloxi, Mississippi.El 25 de noviembre de 2007, Kevin Dubrow fue hallado muerto en su casa de Las Vegas. Su compañero de banda Frankie Banali expresó lo siguiente en su sitio web oficial: "No puedo encontrar las palabras para hablar de lo que pasó. Por favor respeten mi privacidad mientras me lamento por la muerte y honro la memoria de mi querido amigo, Kevin DuBrow".

Zadie Smith ocupa um espaço muito específico: ela é um dos poucos escritores cuja ficção e não-ficção são igualmente apreciadas, cuja opinião sobre o mundo é procurada regularmente, simplesmente porque é dela. Ela é uma romancista respeitada, está no ramo há mais de 20 anos e ganhou inúmeros prêmios e aplausos. Ela esteve duas vezes na lista da revista Granta dos 20 jovens romancistas britânicos mais promissores, com menos de 40 anos, em 2003 e 2013.Desde que Dentes Brancos foi publicado, sempre houve uma dimensão adicional com Zadie - além do talento, além da fama. Ela foi rapidamente escalada como um totem geracional, um embaixador da vibrante Londres multicultural.E ela surge exatamente em um momento em que o cenário literário de ficção realista pós-moderna já estava sendo devidamente ocupado na América do Norte por aquelas jovens vozes brancas cuja maior preocupação era negar o legado hermético de nomes como Thomas Pynchon e John Barth. Foi ela -- autora jovem, negra e britânica -- a responsável por convergir as atenções para fora dos Estados Unidos, estreando e sendo chamada de a primeira sensação editorial do milênio, comparada — aos 24 anos — a um autor como Salman Rushdie.E é Zadie Smith, esta escritora fundamental, a personagem deste episódio de Negro da Semana._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ //Negro da Semana é Half Deaf.//Curta.

For the past 35 years we have studied unconscious mental processes scientifically, how they operate and influence the average person, which paints a very different picture from Freud’s version which was based on a handful of mentally ill individuals.

Fr. John Bath has been a Maryknoll Missioner for 28 years and has extensive mission experience working with refugees in Cambodia and South Sudan. In this episode, you will hear how Fr. Barth built a successful program in Cambodia to train the blind in massage therapy. This program was so successful that it is still active in both Cambodia and now Peru. Seventeen years later, Fr. Barth is now working with the South Sudanese refugees in Uganda, delivering food and supplies to villages and schools. Join us as Fr. Barth shares his journey from an unfulfilling government job in Albany, NY to his Calling to make the world a better place through his ministry.
In this episode, Chris, Hans, and I discuss John Barth's The Sot-Weed Factor, an epic tale that might be an historical novel, a satire of an historical novel, or both. It's witty and hilarious, but also serious and touching. Check it out.
In this episode we are joined by Kerri Hoffman, CEO of PRX (PRX, a distributor of public media content) and John Barth, Chief Content Editor of PRX. This is our fourth and last episode on the Power and Pleasure of Podcasting (with episodes 32, 33 and 34). We begin by discussing the history of podcasting and public radio, and how it has always been a venture of affecting lives and not money-making. Yet, what makes podcasting special? Listeners often speak about authenticity of the maker, speaker or host as the main distinctive factor, but we are far from knowing more specifics. There is also the ability to connect with a few, yet more interested and dedicated, niche listeners. Even what is considered “good” content differs from more raw, authentic productions, to professionally put-together shows. Its main allure, however, continues to be its ability to be open and participatory. Nonetheless, we wonder, will it join the internet and other original participatory mediums in in spite of being open, still dominated by a few, big, key players? How do we continue encouraging people to create and share podcasts when they are not so easily distributed? Will search engines such as Google, who are not in the game yet, play a significant role on who can find and access podcasts?

All things in the cosmos have a lifespan, from the smallest particles to the most ancient suns. Everything has its season. Every season must come to an end. And this episode marks the end of Orbital Path. So, for the last transit of our podcast, Dr. Michelle Thaller and producer David Schulman join NASA astrobiologist Dr. Jen Eigenbrode on a site visit to one of Michelle’s very favorite places at Goddard Space Flight Center. It’s building 29, where NASA builds and tests spacecraft in some of the most extreme conditions found anywhere on earth. Orbital Path is produced by David Schulman. Our editor is Andrea Mustain.

Asteroids, as the dinosaurs found out, can have big effects on life on Earth. Sixty-five million years ago, an asteroid crashed into the Yucatán. The impact caused apocalyptic tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. Grit and ash blotted out the sun. It wiped out species that had roamed the Earth for millions of years. Yet asteroid hits also were critical to the origins of life on Earth. Asteroids may well have been the bringers of water, of carbon, even of amino acids — the building blocks of life. That’s a big reason why NASA is on a mission to Bennu. This asteroid is like an ancient fossil of our solar system — largely unchanged since the time the planets formed. In December, after a billion-mile journey, NASA’s Osiris-Rex mission arrives at Bennu. And, for the first time, a spacecraft will try to actually bring back an asteroid sample to Earth. On this episode of Orbital Path, Dr. Michelle Thaller sits down with Dr. Amy Simon — a senior scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, and a key player on the Osiris-Rex mission. Michelle and Amy talk about the mission, Amy’s work to probe the origins of the solar system, and one other thing: The remote chance that Bennu, someday, could collide with Earth.

To make a black hole, you need to think big. Really big. Start with a star much bigger than the sun — the bigger the better. Then settle in, and wait a few million years for your star to die. That should do the trick, if you want to get yourself a garden-variety black hole. But there’s another kind of black hole. They are mind-boggling in size. And deeply mysterious: Super-massive black holes. Last year, in the journal Nature, a team of astronomers reported finding one with the mass of 800 million suns. It’s the most distant black hole in the known universe. And it’s so ancient, it dates to a time when it seems light itself was only just beginning to move. On this episode of Orbital Path, Dr. Michelle Thaller talks with astrophysicist Chiara Mingarelli — Flatiron Research Fellow at the Center for Computational Astrophysics in New York. Using a special gravitational wave observatory, Dr. Mingarelli is part of a cadre of astronomers hoping ancient super-massive black holes will soon reveal mysteries dating to the dawn of our universe.

For the past 35 years we have studied unconscious mental processes scientifically, how they operate and influence the average person, which paints a very different picture from Freud’s version which was based on a handful of mentally ill individuals. This is the first time in human history we have a systematic and scientific understanding of how our hidden mind works.

On September 15, 2018, the last Delta II rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Air Force base, in California. It carried into orbit IceSat-2 — a satellite equipped with perhaps the most sophisticated space laser ever built. NASA didn’t put it up there to shoot down rogue asteroids. Instead, it’s taking aim — with exquisite precision — at Earth. On this episode of Orbital Path, Dr. Michelle Thaller talks with Tom Wagner. He’s been looking forward to the launch of IceSat-2 for a decade. Officially, Wagner is NASA’s Program Scientist for the Cryosphere. That means he studies the frozen regions of the Earth: Antarctica. The Arctic Ocean. The glaciers of Greenland. All places critical to understanding our planet’s changing climate. From 300 miles above, the six laser beams of IceSat-2 won’t harm even the most light-sensitive earthling, Wagner says. But, as he describes it, the satellite will allow scientists to precisely map the retreat of ice at the poles. And that promises to teach us a great deal about how Earth’s climate will change in the years to come. Orbital Path is produced by David Schulman. Our editor is Andrea Mustain.

We live our lives in three dimensions. But we also walk those three dimensions along a fourth dimension: time. Our world makes sense thanks to mathematics. Math lets us count our livestock, it lets us navigate our journeys. Mathematics has also proved an uncanny, stunningly accurate guide to what Brian Greene calls “the dark corners of reality.” But what happens when math takes us far, far beyond what we — as humans — are equipped to perceive with our senses? What does it mean when mathematics tells us, in no uncertain terms, that the world exists not in three, not in four — but in no fewer than 11 dimensions? In this encore episode of Orbital Path (previously heard in October 2017), Brian Greene, a celebrated explainer of how our universe operates and the director of the Center for Theoretical Physics at Columbia University, sits down to talk with Dr. Michelle Thaller. Together they dig into the question of how we — as three-dimensional creatures — can come to terms with all those extra dimensions all around us. Orbital Path is produced by David Schulman.

To hear Leonard Susskind tell it, we are living in a golden age of quantum physics. And he should know. Susskind is a grandee of theoretical physics. In the 1960s, he was one of the discoverers of String Theory. His friends and collaborators over the years include the likes of Nobel Prize winners Gerard ‘t Hooft and Richard Feynman. And, for more than a decade, Susskind engaged in an intellectual clash of the Titans with Stephen Hawking — and came out on top. On this episode of Orbital Path, Dr. Michelle Thaller talks with Susskind about his extraordinary life in physics. And Susskind offers a tantalizing glimpse into his recent work on the holographic principle, which suggests our universe may be a far, far stranger place than humans have yet imagined.

For a long time, probably as long as we have been gazing up at the night sky, people have been asking ourselves: Are we alone? Is there life out there, anywhere else in the universe? For modern Earthlings, our fascination with extraterrestrial life has focussed on one place in particular: Mars. The planet today is a forbidding, arid place. But billions of years ago, Mars may have had a gigantic ocean. It was, like Earth, just the kind of place you’d think life could get started. Earlier this month, in the journal Science, NASA astrobiologist Dr. Jen Eigenbrode and her team published a stunning discovery. The Curiosity rover on Mars had found rocks that contain organic molecules — the building blocks of life. On this episode of Orbital Path, Dr. Michelle Thaller sits down with Eigenbrode to understand what this discovery really says about the possibility of life on Mars.

Zoe is in 8th grade. She’s a student in Mr. Andersen’s Earth science class at a public school in Brooklyn. Lately, she’s been concerned about the future of the planet. Specifically, Zoe has been learning about the phenomenon of planetary dehydration — and she wanted to ask Dr. Michelle Thaller what would happen if Earth lost its water. It’s part of a new Orbital Path project called “Telescope,” where Dr. Michelle Thaller fields astronomy questions from public school students. Michelle says dehydration isn’t anything we’ll have to worry about in our lifetimes. But in 200 million years — not all that long, in astronomical terms — our planet could resemble the desert world of Frank Herbert’s “Dune.” Orbital Path is produced by David Schulman. The program is edited by Andrea Mustain. Production oversight by John Barth and Genevieve Sponsler. Hosted by Dr. Michelle Thaller. The music heard in this episode is “Austin 1” by Manwomanchild.

Secrets of the universe? A glimpse of the whiteboard in the office of Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist Adam Riess. Adam Riess was only 41 when he was named a Nobel Prize winner. The Johns Hopkins distinguished professor of astronomy shared in the award for his work on something called “dark energy” — a discovery that over the past 20 years has profoundly shifted our understanding of the universe. Riess made news again recently when he and colleagues working with the Hubble Space Telescope announced new findings about the rate at which the universe is expanding — findings which simply cannot be explained by physics as we know it. It’s weird and profound stuff. Our story begins a century ago, with a riddle posed by a curious part of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity — something called the “Cosmological Constant.” The fate of the universe just may hang in the balance.

Instead of grappling with the big, cosmic questions that preoccupy adults, this week on Orbital Path we’re doing something different. We’re grappling with the big, cosmic questions that preoccupy kids. It’s part of a new project called “Telescope,” where Dr. Michelle Thaller takes on the really big questions in astronomy—from public school students. In this episode, Michelle fields questions from Mr. Andersen’s Earth Science class at MS 442, a public school in Brooklyn. Sarah Cole asks about creating artificial gravity on spacecraft. And Carter Nyhan wonders whether the stars guiding mariners ancient and modern, were, by the time their light reached the earth, completely kaput. Is the twinkling night sky actually a graveyard of dead stars? Orbital Path is produced by David Schulman. The program is edited by Andrea Mustain.

On August 17, 2017, an alert went out. Gravitational wave detectors in Louisiana and Washington state had detected a disturbance from deep space. The effect was subtle — these detectors and a sister site in Italy measure disturbances smaller than a proton. But the evidence was dramatic. And the story they told was truly cataclysmic: A pair of neutron stars had spiraled to their deaths. That apocalyptic collision of two super-dense stars bent the very fabric of space time — just as Einstein had predicted. It sent Gamma rays out into deep space. It created an immense cloud of gaseous gold. And, 130 million years later, astronomers on earth witnessed the final 100 seconds of these two stars’ dance of death. It’s taught us where gold came from, and helped humans understand other intractable mysteries of the universe. In this episode of Orbital Path, Dr. Michelle Thaller speaks with two astronomers who watched this cosmic death tango from the best seats in the house. We’ll hear from Dr. Vicky Kalogera. She’s Director of CIERA — the Center of Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics at Northwestern University. Kalogera was a lead author on a journal article on the neutron star collision co-authored by close to 4,000 scientists. We’ll also hear from physicist Mike Landry. He’s Head of LIGO Hanford — one of the sites that, in collaboration with Italy’s VIRGO detector, measured the neutron stars’ characteristic gravitational waves.

Scientists in 1985 discovered something that threatened the world we live in: The ozone layer had a hole in it. A big one. And this hole was growing very quickly. If it continued to grow, the consequences would be dire. Presented with the science, world leaders came up with an international agreement. The Montreal Protocol, as the treaty was called, may elicit shrugs today. But it staved off disaster for Earth. It was a remarkable success story, and our planet today would be a very different place if not for the Montreal Protocol and the so-called “blue sky” scientific research — research for curiosity’s sake — that led to the discovery of the rapid deterioration of the ozone layer, and its causes In this episode, we return to a program originally broadcast in January 2017 — one that is perhaps even more relevant today. Orbital Path is from PRX and produced by David Schulman. Justin O’Neill produced this episode.

In this darkest season of the year, Dr. Michelle Thaller and NASA astronomer Andrew Booth curl up by the fire. Gazing into the embers, red wine in hand, they consider the meaning of the winter solstice — on other planets. Like Uranus, where parts of the planet go 42 earth years without seeing the sun. Or Mars, where winters are made colder by an orbit politely described as “eccentric.” Or Saturn — where winter’s chill is deepened by the shadow of the planet’s luminous rings. Marshmallow, anyone?

NASA’S office of planetary defense isn’t worried about Klingons or Amoeboid Zingatularians. They worry about asteroids and comets. Like the one that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013. It was about 20 yards across. An asteroid 150 yards in diameter could take out a city. An even bigger one — as the dinosaurs reading this will attest — could change earth’s ecology, and lead to mass extinctions. Kelly Fast, program manager for NASA’s office of planetary defense, tells Dr. Michelle Thaller about an asteroid that watchers in Hawaii recently sighted: a mysterious, massive, cigar-shaped object. Millions of years into its journey, it was traveling faster than any spacecraft ever built by humans. It’s the first object ever known to visit our solar system that originated in the orbit of another star. Too fast to be trapped by our sun’s gravity, it’s now traveling a path that will take it back into deep, interstellar space. Orbital Path is produced by David Schulman.

These days, astrophysicists like Dr. Michelle Thaller use instruments to probe the distant reaches of our galaxy, and far beyond. They use interferometry, the Hubble space telescope, and other technology impossible to imagine when the constellations of the winter sky were named. But, as the season changes and Orion returns to view, Michelle still finds plenty of wonder left for us to see — even with the naked eye — in the cold, clear air of a winter’s night. Orbital Path is produced by David Schulman (who returns this episode to answer Michelle’s questions about his recent alleged alien abduction). The program is edited by Andrea Mustain.

We’ve got some awkward news to share, folks: The producer of Orbital Path is claiming he’s been abducted by space aliens. So this week, we’re dusting off the theremin and returning to one of our favorite early episodes — “Must Be Aliens.” Dr. Michelle Thaller talks with Phil Plait — AKA the “Bad Astronomer” — about the Kepler mission to find planets circling other stars … and why we humans are so quick to ascribe the unknowns of the cosmos to aliens. In the two years since this episode was originally produced, however, the universe has not stood still. So Michelle has an update on the Kepler project — and a discovery that, once upon a time, had certain astronomers murmuring the “A” word. Orbital Path is produced by David Schulman and edited by Andrea Mustain. “Must be Aliens” episode produced by Lauren Ober. Production oversight by John Barth and Genevieve Sponsler. Hosted by Michelle Thaller.
The Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan avidly guards its traditional culture. Bhutan is a nation that — instead of looking to GDP or debt ratios — measures success by an index of “Gross National Happiness.” In this episode of Orbital Path, Dr. Michelle Thaller describes her recent adventures in Bhutan — including a climb to a Buddhist monastery perched on the face of a cliff. In that rarefied air, Michelle was confronted by a link between the thinking of contemporary astrophysicists and old-school Bhutanese monks: a challenging concept of Time.

In a scary time, in a scary world, in a scary universe, NASA astronomer Andrew Booth says one of the things that frightens him most is math. Specifically, the power of mathematics to describe the universe. That’s because, beyond the comforting world of Newtonian physics, math gets mind-bendingly weird. So from the relative safety of their backyard hot tub, Dr. Michelle Thaller and Booth (who happen to be married) try to sort out what it really means to live not in just three dimensions, but in eleven — as mathematics now tells us we do. Join us in the hot tub as we turn on the jets, get wet, and weird…and just a little freaked out. Orbital Path is produced by David Schulman and edited by Andrea Mustain.

Locked up on the Greek island of Crete, Icarus and his dad made wings out of beeswax and bird feathers. They soared to freedom — but Icarus got cocky, flew too close to the sun, and fell into the sea. A few thousand years later, NASA is ready to do the job right. The Parker Solar Probe is scheduled to fly in 2018. The spacecraft has a giant heat shield, tested to withstand 2,500-degree temperatures. For something so basic to all of our lives — and fundamental to the science of astronomy — the sun remains surprisingly mysterious. To learn more, Michelle meets up with Nicky Viall, a NASA heliophysicist working on the mission. She describes how direct measurements of the sun’s super-hot plasma, and solar wind, may dramatically enhance our understanding of the star at the center of our lives.

After a full day in a clean suit, there’s nothing like … a dip in the hot tub. NASA astronomer Andrew Booth spends his days working with lasers, developing some of the word’s most advanced telescopes. When he gets home from work, he loves to pour a glass of wine and slip into the hot tub. And ponder some of the weirder aspects of astrophysics. Orbital Path host Dr. Michelle Thaller (who happens to be married to Booth) rather avidly shares this enthusiasm. For Orbital Path’s first adventure in Hot Tub Physics, the topic is: The weirdness of light. And something called interferometry. And telescopes that don’t work unless a single particle of light can be two places at exactly the same time. Which raises the question: Are we living in a parallel universe? Join us in the hot tub as we get wet and weird (the water’s just fine)! Orbital Path is produced by David Schulman and edited by Andrea Mustain.

There was a time before planets and suns. A time before oxygen. You could say there was time, even, before what we think of as light. Back in 1989, the Big Bang theory was still in question. But that year, a NASA team led by cosmologist John Mather launched a mission to probe the earliest moments of the universe. Mather won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE). This work dramatically confirmed the Big Bang theory — and, as part of it, Mather and his team took a picture of the very first light escaping into our universe. In this episode, Dr. Thaller visits Mather to talk about these discoveries, which transformed scientific understanding of the universe. We also hear about Mather’s current project: an orbiting space telescope twice the size of the Hubble. It promises to capture the first light of galaxies and stars, and even distant planets not unlike our own. Orbital Path is produced by David Schulman and edited by Andrea Mustain.

NASA is relying on hi-tech lasers — and some vintage U.S. Navy hand-me-downs — to learn about the polar regions of a remarkable, watery planet. It’s located in the Orion spur of our galaxy. NASA scientists have detected mountain ranges completely under ice. But the remaining mysteries of the ice here are profound, and what the science tells us could have dramatic impact on human life. In this episode, Dr. Thaller visits with two key members of NASA’s IceBridge mission — Christy Hansen, Airborne Sciences Manager at the Goddard Space Flight Center, and Joe MacGregor, Deputy Project Scientist for Operation IceBridge.

When the Cassini spacecraft blasted into space on October 15, 1997, even the most optimistic scientists would have had a hard time predicting the mission’s success. One of Cassini’s biggest legacies will be how she gave us a clearer picture of Saturn’s 62 moons, including two worlds that scientists now think could potentially host life. Dr. Michelle Thaller speaks with the Cassini mission’s Project Scientist Linda Spilker and with Julie Webster, a longtime Cassini engineer. Cassini will crash-land into Saturn’s atmosphere this September, ending nearly 20 years of exploration of our own solar system. Orbital Path is produced by Justin O’Neill and editor Andrea Mustain.

Nearly 100 years after Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves — huge undulations in the fabric of space-time itself — in 2015, detectors here on Earth finally picked up the signal of these massive disturbances. Dr. Michelle Thaller pulls apart the power and mystery of gravitational waves, and talks with Dr. Janna Levin, theoretical astrophysicist and author of the book, Black Hole Blues and Other Songs From Outer Space. Image caption: The LISA Pathfinder Mission paves the way for our first space-based gravitational wave detector.

Now, almost a thousand years later, a superdense neutron star left behind by the stellar death is spewing out a blizzard of extremely high-energy particles into the expanding debris field known as the Crab Nebula. This composite image uses data from three of NASA’s Great Observatories.
Space science can help track what’s happening on Earth. In this podcast episode, Orbital Path talks landslides and the satellites that monitor them for the third anniversary of the deadliest landslide in US history. On March 22, 2014 a 650-foot hillside collapsed and covered the community of Oso, Washington. Forty-three people died. Hear from scientists working to investigate this landslide and predict future ones, as well as a woman who witnessed the landslide. David Montgomery studied the Oso landslide’s remains as part of the ‘Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance’ (GEER) team that investigated the landslide and tried to pinpoint the causes that lead to the Oso landslide. Dr. Dalia Kirschbaum, of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, studies landslides from space using satellites to create various models. Her goal is to develop a model that can be used as the foundation for a global landslide predicting software that can help keep people living in wet, mountainous regions safe from the slides. And Asheley Bryson is the manager at the Darrington Sno-Isles Library, which is just a few miles from the site of the landslide. She shares her memories from that day.

Galileo discovered Europa, Jupiter’s fourth-largest moon, in 1610. In 1977, the Voyager spacecraft buzzed past and we realized it was covered in ice. It took a few more years to understand that it also likely had unfrozen liquid water oceans. In this episode, Kevin Hand, Deputy Project Scientist for the Europa mission at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) explains how his team plans to launch a series of missions to orbit, land on, and hopefully explore the curious moon’s deep salty oceans with a self-driving space submarine. Hand thinks Europa has the best chance of fostering living alien life at this moment in time. “If we’ve learned anything about life on Earth, where there’s water, you find life and there’s a whole ton of water out at Europa,” Hand says. And Tom Cwik, manager for JPL’s space technology program, describes how he looks to Earth-bound submarines, ice drills and self-driving cars for inspiration of how to explore this distant world.

A few years ago we read a John Barth story collection (On With the Story) that Mike enjoyed and Tom did not. So this week Mike's making Tom read one of Barth's most-loved short stories to see if he can turn him into a fan. Also: We talk about other artists we took a while to warm up to, and listener-submitted stories of second chances. For more, visit us online at bookfightpod.com.
Polyamory: It is the idea that you can love more than one person as long as you're doing it openly, honestly and with the full consent and participation of all involved. Valerie White will tell you all different aspects of Polyamory. Where do people find each other who are poly amorous? Why would you get involved in Polyamory? Is it a choice or orientation? Does the 3rd person live with the first couple? How does that work? Anyways, it's a fascinating subject no matter if your are a part of it or not. Bio: Valerie White has been a Unitarian Universalist for 53 years, lawyer, and director of Sexual Freedom Legal Defense and Education Fund, Valerie White has spoken on polyamory at many national and regional conferences. She has written for many periodicals, including Loving More, The World and The Humanist, and served on the boards of Church of the Larger Fellowship, Unitarian Universalists for Polyamory Awareness (their first president), Interweave and UU’s for Jewish Awareness. She has been president of the Unitarian Church of Sharon, MA and currently chairs the worship committee. A long-time sexual rights activist, she was president of the Vermont Civil Liberties Union. She has lived in an open triad for 21 years and is helping raise 13-year-old twins. Favorite Quote: “My feeling about technique in art is that it has about the same value as technique in lovemaking. Heartfelt ineptitude has its appeal and so does heartless skill; but what you want is passionate virtuosity.” John Barth, Giles Goat Boy Website Links: Sexual Freedom Legal Defense and Education Fund Unitarian Universalists for Polyamory Awareness Loving More Books of interest: Loving More: The Polyfidelity Primer Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality By Christopher Ryan Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What It Means for Modern Relationships The Ethical Slut More Than Two Opening Up Final Credits: music thanks to: "Carefree", "Open Those Bright Eyes", "Sweeter Vermouth" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

The Drunken Odyssey with John King: A Podcast About the Writing Life
This week, I interview my friend, the fiction writer Chad Benson, who also happens to be a rock musician called Quinn W. Shagbark, plus Jesse Duthrie talks about John Barth's The Floating Opera. TEXTS DISCUSSED [vimeo http://vimeo.com/61609421] NOTES If you are writing in Denver, check out the Lighthouse Writer's Workshop. Read about Quinn W. Shagbark in Slate. On Tuesday, August 13th, at Urban ReThink in downtown Orlando, I will read with JOSEFINE KLOUGART, DAN LAUER, & DREW JOHNSON in Jesse Bradley's series, There Will Be Words, which was just named the best reading series in Orlando by Orlando Weekly. Two days later, I will be reading an art-inspired piece in this event:
Tom hates metafiction. Mike tries to get him to love it, or at least appreciate it, using John Barth's 1996 collection On With the Story, linked stories that play a number of narrative games and call attention to how stories work, and how we expect them to work. We also talk about about the false dichotomy of sad stories vs happy stories, and why Tom's students want him to cheer the hell up.
Live recording of John Barth reading his essay 'The End?' from Exit Strategies and discussing his career, discovering Tristram Shandy, what happened to postmodernism and ways of encouraging the muse to pay a visit.
A New York native, Michael Silverblatt graduated from the State University of New York in Buffalo and later took advanced courses at Johns Hopkins. He moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1970s, and in 1989 created the literary talk show “Bookworm” for KCRW-FM. The show continues to air today.Norman Mailer has called Michael Silverblatt “the best reader in America.” Susan Sontag called him “a national treasure.” Joyce Carol Oates once called him the “reader writers dream about,” and his podcasts are so popular that New York’s independent bookstores describe a “Silverblatt ripple effect” on book sales.As a student, he came under the influence of such cutting-edge author-teachers as Donald Barthelme and John Barth; as a radio talk-show host, he learned to appreciate a much wider range of writing—making him, he hopes, “a person of ferocious compassion instead of ferocious intellect.”Silverblatt gave a talk on October 26, 2010, in Cornell’s Goldwin Smith Hall. This interview took place earlier the same day.
Tell Me (Counterpoint); Why Did I Ever (Counterpoint) Mary Robison returns to her student days of writing stories for John Barth's workshop, and the days of being edited by Roger Angell, for The New Yorker, and by Gordon Lish, for book publication at Knopf. These teachers and editors both shaped and thwarted her enigmatic, instinctually accurate style...
Coming Soon!!! (Houghton Mifflin) More on the spectacular fictional inventions of John Barth-including dual narrators, Muse-author collaborations, and stories so complexly interconnected that they mirror the spiraling structure of the universe. (Part II of a two-part interview)
Coming Soon!!! (Houghton Mifflin) A full-scale celebration of the career of John Barth, one of America's greatest comic writers. His experiments with form, his crazy circumlocutions and contractions of language and, in particular, his creation of double-gendered narration are explored, explained, exhibited and exclaimed over.(Part I of a two-part interview)
