In this compilation episode about health and wellbeing, we hear from past guests Nick Folland, John Wray, Helen Pike and Lori Strauss.

Kip, Leslie, and Kira are outliers—even in the metal scene they love. In arch-conservative Gulf Coast Florida in the late 1980s, just listening to metal can get you arrested, but for the three of them the risk is well worth it, because metal is what leads them to one another. Different as they are, Kip, Leslie, and Kira form a family of sorts that proves far safer, and more loving, than the families they come from. Together, they make the pilgrimage from Florida's swamp country to the fabled Sunset Strip in Hollywood. But in time, the delicate equilibrium they've found begins to crumble. Leslie moves home to live with his elderly parents; Kip struggles to find his footing in the sordid world of LA music journalism; and Kira, the most troubled of the three, finds herself drawn to ever darker and more extreme strains of metal. On a trip to northern Europe for her twenty-second birthday, in the middle of a show, she simply vanishes. Two years later, the truth about her disappearance reunites Kip with Leslie, who in order to bring Kira home alive must make greater sacrifices than they could ever have imagined. In his most absorbing and ambitious novel yet, John Wray dives deep into the wild, funhouse world of heavy metal and death cults in the 1980s and '90s. Gone to the Wolves (FSG, 2023) lays bare the intensity, tumult, and thrill of friendship in adolescence—a time when music can often feel like life or death.

A brand-new venture begins as the guys start conquering the 100 Greatest War Movies of All-Time (according to PASTE Magazine) by starting out with a rather important one - the 1930 adaptation of book-to-silver screen All Quiet on the Western Front. The guys talk about how such a vehemently anti-war film in 1930 must have been quite a sight to see and discuss the censorship of the film throughout the world, the modern filmmaking techniques that even Steven Spielberg must've taken note of for his films, the strategic use of older actors playing the main teenage characters, the fascinating story behind the dying french soldier in the trenches and much, much more.   Next week: Hacksaw Ridge.

In our 10th edition of Deep Cuts, we are proud to welcome DC-born, Mexico-based award winning author John Wray on the podcast. An author, a husband, and a metalhead. John is an example of each and every one of us in this ever-growing community. We get the chance to talk to him about his highly-anticipated 6th novel “Gone To The Wolves,” and the storylines that went behind the development of the main characters which many metalheads will be able to identify with. It's not the easiest process writing 6 novels in about 20+ years, and well, it's definitely not easy doing it while winning awards in the process, yet John makes it look easy. John also talks about his love for the music of heavy metal and the first albums he ever laid his hands on during his youth, and that includes taking the stage as a musician himself in multiple bands. A good amount of his own personal experiences can be found in his writing, and it's a spectacular way of connecting to his audiences. This is an episode you will need to hear for yourself, and John has been grateful to still be at his peak at this point in his hard-working career. Tune in now and do not miss this chance to purchase his newest epic, “Gone To The Wolves,” filled with an adventure that anyone can appreciate in creative storytelling.

Calling all metalheads out there in podcast land. Have I got the novel and episode for you. John Wray is here to talk about his brand-new novel, ‘Gone to the Wolves', which author Raven Leilani describes as “a love letter to metal that captures both its brutal kinetics and its nearness to the sublime.” The novel follows Kip, Kira, and Leslie Z, three teenagers living on Florida's Gulf Coast in the late 1980s. All three come from unhappy homes, of one sort or another, but forge a friendship centered around their love for metal. If you've been waiting for a novel to come along that treats metal with respect rather than parody, your wait it over. But even if you didn't grow up watching ‘Head Bangers Ball' or hoarding Metallica or Slayer records, there's something in this novel for everyone. In the last segment, Jon Verno, from the Metal Mayhem ROC podcast, and Tom Gigliotti, co-host of Shout It Out Loudcast, school me on several subgenres of metal mentioned in ‘Gone to the Wolves', including death, thrash, black, and glam metal.   MEDIA AND MUSIC IN THE EPISODE IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE: Clip from the ‘Today' show from May 26, 2023—book review by Isaac Fitzgerald of ‘Gone to the Wolves' Royalty-free Doom Metal Instrumental “The Witch” “Wunderbar” by Tenpole Tudor “Kickstart My Heart” by Motley Crue "Denial of Life” by Death “Transmission” by Joy Division “I Want You” by Hanoi Rocks “Thus Spake the Nightspirit” by Emperor “Ace of Spades”by Motorhead “Witches' Dance” by Mercyful Fate “Breaking the Law” by Judas Priest “Fade to Black” by Metallica “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath “Hammer Smashed Face” by Cannibal Corpse “Deathcrush” by Mayhem (Dead on vocals) “Seasons in the Abyss” by Slayer   LINKS: Leave a rating and comment for Rock is Lit on Goodpods: https://goodpods.com/podcasts/rock-is-lit-212451 Leave a rating and comment for Rock is Lit on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rock-is-lit/id1642987350   Video of Tenpole Tudor's song “Wunderbar”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bx7QFFlV9M   John Wray's ‘Gone to the Wolves' playlist for Largehearted Boy: https://largeheartedboy.com/2023/05/22/john-wrays-playlist-for-his-novel-gone-to-the-wolves/   John Wray's website: http://www.johnwray.net/ John Wray on Twitter: @John_Wray John Wray on Instagram: @thejohnwray John Wray on Facebook: @JohnWray   Shout It Out Loudcast website: https://www.shoutitoutloudcast.com/   Metal Mayhem ROC website: https://www.metalmayhemroc.com/   Christy Alexander Hallberg's website: https://www.christyalexanderhallberg.com/ Christy Alexander Hallberg on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube: @ChristyHallberg Learn more about your ad choices.

“It's more than responsibility. It's fear of just sucking — I don't want to write some garbage that people are going to dismiss.” John Wray's new novel Gone to the Wolves brings the world of heavy metal to the masses, following a group of young people on a nonstop ride from teenage angst to the dark recesses of doomsday cults.

With his fantastic new novel, GONE TO THE WOLVES (FSG), John Wray explores the metal scene of the 1990s, from Gulf Coast Florida to LA to the wilds of Norway. We get into his history with metal (starting with AC/DC), why he wanted his lead characters to be fans with no aspirations to be musicians themselves, the coolness fallacy of authors writing about rock music, the brief era where a band like Cannibal Corpse could sell hundreds of thousands of records, and why this was his most fun book to write. We also talk about the theology of Norwegian black metal, this book's relationship to Denis Johnson's Tree of Smoke, his favorite drummer, and how he settled into Graham Greene's writing practice of having a word count for each day. Plus, we discuss his recurring neurotic breakdown when a book is in galleys, his realization that his parents did not take his writing seriously (when he was an 8th grader), the process of renovating a brownstone in Prospect Park and renting out rooms to other writers (like Nathan Englander), becoming a dad in recent years (and failing to teach his son how to fly a kite), the tension between writing the books he wants to write and selling more copies, the risk of getting sued by Vince Neil, and a lot more.

PBS, ABCI LOVE History of Vocals n Music, Rock & Roll/Soul & Today I Get to go Back BEFORE my Time on Earth in the Rock & Soul Chart Dial to an AWESOME vocalist in the Music Era. And with New Music From The Heart & a Single "After You". Larry also as a  New Jazz Album & a Single with Billy Vera.. And He's Got More Music, Concerts & TV Appearances Too.Larry Chance was the driving force behind the group's formation and success. Chance grew up in Philadelphia and attended high school with Chubby Checker, Frankie Avalon, and Danny Rapp of Danny & the Juniors. But it was not until 1957 that he moved with his parents to the Bronx after high school, that his musical career took off.Chance formed a group at the Tecumsa Social Club, known as the Hi-Hatters. The group was Chance, Bob Del Din, Eddie Harder, Larry Palombo and John Wray. Later, in 1961, the Earls lost their original member Larry Palombo in an army skydiving accident. In 1961, Rome released the Earls' first record – "Life is But a Dream" (Rome 101 – 1961)[2] b/w "It's You" (and in the late 1970s released with "Whoever You Are" as the B-side). The group then performed with Murray the K and on Dick Clark's American Bandstand show. They released another record that year, "Looking For My Baby" (Rome 102) b/w "Cross My Heart".In 1962, the group hooked up with Stan Vincent and recorded "Remember Then" for Old Town Records (Old Town 1130) b/w "Let's Waddle".[2] It was a hit, peaking at #24 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1963. Chance co-wrote the group's next single "Never" b/w "I Keep A-Tellin You" (Old Town 1133–1963). The group scored another hit in 1963 on Old Town with "Eyes" b/w "Look My Way" (Old Town 1141). Later, a demo "I Believe" was released (Old Town 1149–1963) b/w "Don't Forget".[2] "I Believe" became a much bigger record from the 1970s onward as it received heavy airplay on NYC oldies radio.Chance later had a brief solo career, recording "Let Them Talk". He returned to the Earls who, at that time, had two new members – Bob Moricco and Ronnie Calabrese. The group started playing their own instruments and, in 1967, recorded "If I Could Do It Over" b/w "Papa" (Mr. G 801 – 1967), and a track for ABC Records, "Its Been a Long Time Coming" b/w "In My Lonely Room" (ABC 11109–1967).The group continued performing into the 1970s and, in 1977, they released a disco version of The Velvets' "Tonight (Could Be the Night)." By 1983, the group's personnel were Chance, Ronnie Calabrese, Colon Rello, Bobby Tribuzio and Tony Obert, and they recorded Larry Chance and the Earls – Today.From 1989-1993, the group consisted of: Larry Chance, Bobby Tribuzzio, Bob Coleman, Art Loria (formerly of The Belmonts) and T.J. Barbella. This roster continued a busy performance schedule and studio works. In 1989, they were on Broadway performing in the original production of A Bronx Tale, a one man play by Chazz Palminteri. They recorded the theme song of the production "Streets of the Bronx", which was slated to appear on the soundtrack of the motion picture A Bronx Tale, however a different version of the song was eventually chosen.

“I really tried to create a band that I would love, if they were real”— Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones & The Six Fiction writers have long been seduced by the anarchy, defiance, and raw power of rock ‘n roll, creating stories about music, the people who make it, and the characters who love it with the same intensity as the most ambitious concept albums. But until Rock is Lit first aired in September 2022, there had never been a podcast devoted to this art form—the rock novel—and the show remains a singularity. In each episode, host Christy Alexander Hallberg, author of the award-winning rock novel Searching for Jimmy Page (Livingston Press, 2021), interviews authors about craft and the musical inspiration behind their work, then brings in music experts, like legendary groupie Pamela Des Barres, to add real-world context to the bands or musical periods featured in the novels. Hallberg has quickly earned a reputation as a meticulous researcher and creative producer, frequently garnering compliments from guests such as Rex Weiner, author of The (Original) Adventures of Ford Fairlane: “You're so well versed in what I wrote and, of course, your own rock ‘n roll history is pretty terrific.” The podcast's growing roster of rock novels includes: Dana Spiotta's National Book Award-nominated Eat the Document, works by BIPOC authors like Chris L. Terry's Black Card, metal-centric novels like John Wray's Gone to the Wolves, YA LGBTQ debuts like Jessamyn Violet's Secret Rules to Being a Rockstar, Scifi rock novels like Sarah Pinsker's Nebula Award-winning A Song For A New Day, rock novels adapted to film like Garth Risk Hallberg's City on Fire, and celebrity rock novels like the legendary Suzi Quatro's The Hurricane.

Randomised Controlled Trial of a Therapeutic Playgroup for Children with Developmental DelaysJodie Armstrong , Sonya Girdler, Emma Davidson, Joanne Mizen, Natasha Bear, John Wray, Catherine ElliottPMID: 32623539DOI: 10.1007/s10803-020-04580-7AbstractA single-blind randomised control trial investigated the effectiveness of the Learn, Engage and Play (LEaP) playgroup. Seventy-one children with developmental delay were randomly allocated to an 8-week LEaP playgroup or control group and followed up at 12 and 28 weeks. On the primary outcome measure, LEaP demonstrated significant within group changes at 28 weeks (parenting distress p = 0.018) but no between group changes. On secondary outcome measures, at 12 weeks LEaP produced significantly better outcomes than control in goal achievement (performance p = 0.022; function p = 0.008) and family-support (p = 0.024), with LEaP continuing to demonstrate significantly better goal achievement (child performance p = 0.042; function p = 0.012) at 28 weeks. Findings indicate LEaP may assist in improving family-support and goal achievement outcomes for children with developmental delays.Keywords: Developmental delay; Early intervention; Randomised control trial; Therapeutic playgroups.

Through listening to other podcasts about writing and other talk shows I realize the importance of communication with my readers and listeners. Express yourself in your writing to create something true—I'm paraphrasing from the quote of the day by John Wray. The point is that we need to let our true selves go so we can write more freely. listen to the episode and learn with me.

Poet Jeffrey Yang joins co-hosts Eric Newman and Kate Wolf to discuss Hey, Marfa, his heralded new collection. In poems that balance between intimacy and alienation, Hey, Marfa explores the unique history of the tiny town where art, history and culture intersect in the vastness of the Texas desert. Yang talks about his writing practice, what it means to write from and about a place, and the figures he encountered in Marfa that continue to fascinate him. Also, John Wray, author of Godsend, returns to recommend Joaquin Maria Machado de Assis' miraculous classic The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas, which John describes as a post-modern tour de force that happened to be written in Brazil in the 1880s.

On Tuesday December 11th, Amy talks with David Mura about his latest work A Stranger’s Journey: Race, Identity & Narrative Craft in Writing, a book on creative writing that addresses our increasingly diverse American Literature. Mura is a writer, memoirist, poet and performance artist who brings a unique perspective to our multi-racial and multi-cultural society. A third-generation Japanese-American, he has written intimately about his life as a man of color and the connections between race, sexuality and history. Conor talks with John Wray about his new novel Godsend. Wray explores the circumstances that could impel a young American to abandon identity and home to become an Islamist militant, inspired by the true-life events of John Walker Lindh. Wray is a novelist and regular contributor to The New York Times Magazine and currently lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Author John Wray joins co-hosts Medaya Ocher and Kate Wolf to read from and discuss his critically-lauded new novel, Godsend; which has found its way onto many best of 2018 lists. Godsend tells the story of Aden, a young woman from Santa Rosa who travels to the Pakistan/Afghanistan border region shortly before 9/11, converts to Islam, disguises herself as a male and joins the Taliban as a fighter. John Wray tells us the almost-equally-amazing backstory to the novel, which stems from his time in Afghanistan as a reporter for Esquire; and his motivations for immersing himself so completely in Aden's world. Also, author and podcast host Karina Longworth returns to recommend Angelica Houston's second memoir, Watch Me.
