ORIGINALLY RELEASED Oct 12, 2019 In this episode, I sit down with author and illustrator Kate Evans to discuss her powerful graphic biography Red Rosa, which vividly brings to life the story of revolutionary Marxist thinker Rosa Luxemburg. We explore Luxemburg's radical politics, her commitment to internationalism and anti-militarism, and the challenges she faced as a Jewish woman in the male-dominated socialist movements of her time. Kate shares her creative process behind the book, how she translated dense political theory into an accessible visual narrative, and why Luxemburg's legacy remains so vital for today's struggles against capitalism and authoritarianism. Whether you're new to Luxemburg or a longtime admirer, this conversation offers fresh insight into one of the most brilliant and courageous figures of the socialist tradition.

As we bid farewell to 2024, I'm excited to share an inspiring journey through the voices of 13 incredible women who graced the podcast this year. From the universal language of food with Annie Sim of The Table Less Traveled to the enlightening perspective on ethical animal interactions with Nora Livingston from Animal Experience International, each guest has left a profound impact. Annie's stories reminded me of my great grandmother's Slovakian heritage and the unifying power of sharing a meal, while Nora sparked my interest in experiencing Mongolia's majestic horses in their natural habitat. This episode overflows with personal reflections and aspirations, and how these remarkable women have inspired my own travel and life goals.A special shout-out to Kate Evans, whose expertise in house-sitting and authorship has nudged me towards new writing endeavors and expanded my global networking horizons. Monique Giroux's passion for forest bathing has been a gentle reminder to intentionally reconnect with nature, nurturing a mindset of gratitude and reducing stress. And let's not forget Julie F Finn, whose tales of early retirement and nomadic adventures have reignited a longing for exploration.

Earlier this month, tech billionaire Bill Gates broke ground on a new nuclear plant in Kemmerer, Wyoming– a historic coal town. Gates tells Zero why he hopes the plant, which uses sodium for cooling, rather than water, will be the first of many in the country– no matter who wins this year's election. “The idea of the US being more energy secure and US innovation allowing us to export, those things are still somewhat bipartisan in nature,” he says. Plus, he weighs in on AI as both a major generator of emissions and as a potential source of climate solutions.

Decluttering Coach, Kate Evans is ready to launch her first course with a webinar. But she's feeling foggy about how to structure a webinar that delivers value and also sells. Dallas Travers steps in to share her Foolproof Webinar Formula and the two coaches outline a complete webinar in no time flat.  Key Takeaways Webinar Strategy is Crucial for Sales: A well-structured webinar needs to go beyond mere presentation; it must strategically lead to a sale by directly addressing the audience's needs and linking content to the service being sold. Understanding Emotional Barriers: In decluttering, as in many personal transformation processes, emotional barriers play a significant role. Addressing these effectively in a webinar can enhance engagement and the perceived value of the service. The Power of a Structured Yet Flexible Approach: While structure is necessary to ensure all essential points are covered, flexibility within that structure can make the presentation more relatable and engaging, allowing the presenter's personality to shine through. Effectiveness of Client Stories in a Webinar: Using client stories throughout the webinar topics can help people relate to the topics. In addition, sharing a success story can illustrate the effective application of the webinar subject and will plant the seed for the offer. Professional Guidance Is Invaluable: Working with a coach can provide the structure and support needed to learn the process you are teaching but also expand upon and teach the client to maintain those efforts long term. It's about learning systems the client can use and sustain over time.

Kate Evans is an award-winning journalist and regular contributor to National Geographic, and she's also a self-proclaimed feijoa fanatic. But for the tangy and gritty fruit, New Zealand is not home - its origins are in South America. Over the course of a decade, Kate has spoken to scientists, historians, and horticulturalists worldwide, and visited four continents, to trace the feijoa right back to its Brazilian beginnings. Her new book - Feijoa: A Story of Obsession and Belonging - is part-science writing and part-personal memoir, and seeks to uncover why out of all places, New Zealand took in the fruit as its own.

A highly controversial fruit, feijoas have long held a special place in New Zealand culture.  They've become a feature of kiwi iconography, their popularity seeing the flavour crop up in the least expected places.  Kiwi author Kate Evans thinks of herself as the nerdiest of feijoa nerds, travelling the world and researching the fruit.  She's recently published a book on the subject, ‘Feijoa: A Story of Obsession and Belonging'.  Evans told Newstalk ZB's Jack Tame that her obsession started with the fruit tree in her parents' house, sitting under the tree as a child and eating them by the bucketful.  “I lived overseas for about a decade, and when I was away, I just missed feijoas so much.”  She said that whenever she managed to find one overseas, cutting it open would fill her with an intense nostalgia for home.  “When I moved back to New Zealand in 2014, I was so excited to be here for an entire feijoa season.”  The fruit is so ubiquitous in New Zealand despite not being native, which got Evans wondering how this South American fruit became such a cultural touchstone.  Feijoas originated in South America and were imported over to New Zealand in the early 1900's, where they were found to grow incredibly well.  “It's quite easy to grow them, you don't really have to do much.”  Despite the cultural love for Feijoas, the Colombians might have us beat with their festival dedicated to the fruit.   “They make so many more things with them than we do,” Evans told Tame.  Recipes for some of which, she has included in her book: feijoa mousse, carpaccio, and more, for those desperately searching for a new way to consume their crop.  Learn where you can donate your excess feijoas here.

Imagine packing your life into a suitcase and stepping into the world as your home.

We discuss chapters 28-36 of Benjamin Stevenson's 'Everyone on this Train is a Suspect', the second novel in his 'Everyone' series. A stop-off in Coober Pedy sees Ernest on a car-chase with a train, hurtling down the track after the enormous iron horse. Fortunately, the cows are on his side, and he is back on the case to identify the killer still on the train. Two bodies, two riddles, two methods of death, where are the parallels? With Alan's botched denouement out of the way, will the police even let him look at the clues? Nobody is getting off, and everyone on this train is...you get the point. We're joined by Dr. Kate Evans of ABC Radio National's 'The Bookshelf' across these three weeks, and also chat more with Benjamin Stevenson about the intentions and key choices behind the twists of this book. Thank you to BAD: Sydney Crime Writers' Festival, and Penguin Australia for providing copies of 'Everyone on this Train is a Suspect'.

We discuss chapters 12-27 of Benjamin Stevenson's 'Everyone on this Train is a Suspect', the second novel in his 'Everyone' series. Alan Royce is on the hunt. He's confident that there's no way Ernest Cunningham has managed to stumble across a second true crime while trying to write the follow up to his previous true crime memoir. As the obviously incompetent forensic crime fiction author goes about trying to shoehorn his first inoperable theory from Ernest to another candidate, another death looms. Ernest is stuck between several rocks and hard places as suspicion is traded around like a scarf. Hang on, wasn't there a scarf by the body in the opening? We're joined by Dr. Kate Evans of ABC Radio National's 'The Bookshelf' to unravel this book over these three weeks, and also chat with Jack Heath about his latest book, "Kill Your Husbands". Thank you to BAD: Sydney Crime Writers' Festival, and Penguin Australia for providing copies of 'Everyone on this Train is a Suspect'. Thank you to Allen & Unwin for helping to arrange the interview with Jack Heath.

We discuss chapters 1-11 of Benjamin Stevenson's 'Everyone on this Train is a Suspect', the second novel in his 'Everyone' series. Ernest Cunningham is back, and even though you're reading the book he's written, he is really struggling to write it. His previous outing, a true-crime memoir of perhaps the darkest moment in his family's history, has seen him invited to a crime fiction festival travelling the length of Australia on The Ghan. His literary agent has given him a big advance for a sequel, but sadly, autobiographical true crime is hard to follow up. His attempts at following his own mystery fiction guides aren't getting anywhere, so he and his girlfriend Juliette hope that this trip will provide some inspiration. I guess you know where this is going. We're joined by Dr. Kate Evans of ABC Radio National's 'The Bookshelf' to unravel this book over the next three weeks, and also chat with Benjamin Stevenson about his own journey to write this book. Thank you to BAD: Sydney Crime Writers' Festival, and Penguin Australia for providing copies of 'Everyone on this Train is a Suspect'.

Our team listened to so many great podcasts this year (a podcasting app told producer Julian Uzielli he listened to 175 different shows and 466 episodes...with a total listening time of 10 days 1 hour. Totally normal, right?). So this week we've rounded up our absolute faves to share with you. From executive producer Cesil Fernandes we have Ghost Story, a podcast that seamlessly integrates family lore with investigative journalism. It's incredibly engaging (and a little spooky, if we're being honest). Then associate producer Kelsey Cueva explains why she loved The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks. It's a deep dive from Dylan Marron on why Jar Jar was so maligned, while also exploring the early days of internet backlash. Listen to the episode to hear our thoughts on why we chose the shows we did, and to listen to some sample clips. Ghost Story: "Their team did a real investigation into the history of the house and the families involved. They sift through documents from the time and really do a thorough — and entertaining — job to recreate the world this murder took place in." – Cesil Fernandes, Executive Producer The Retrievals: "What makes the story compelling is the women who shared their stories. They showed strength and courage to revisit their experiences so that we could hear and learn from their stories." – Kate Evans, Senior Producer Bloodlines: "I learned so much listening to this series and about the thousands of children like Salmaan — [children] with roots in Canada, the U.K., the U.S. and beyond — many of whom are still trapped in camps in the Syrian desert and without a way back home." – Leah Simone Bowen, Host The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks: "The show looks at themes like racism and representation in media, and internet culture. Particularly, dogpiling online and its real life effects on people...I really appreciate the care and nuance [Dylan Marron] brings to his shows." – Kelsey Cueva, Associate Producer If Books Could Kill: "The hosts have great chemistry. It's really funny and intelligent, and it's easy to dip in and out of. Every episode is self-contained." – Julian Uzielli, Producer For more, visit cbc.ca/podcastplaylist

But she knows how hard it is to find them on your own with all of that other noise getting in the way.  Her job is to help you quiet down all of those crappy thoughts so you can see what she already knows about you.  She's here for you as a guide, confidant, and accountability partner. She wants to honor the unique woman you are, instead of asking you to mold yourself into someone else's idea of what you or your home should look like.  In 2018, she had a life-changing experience when she dove in and decluttered her own home. The experience showed Kate the connection between self-care and a healthy home.  That was when she knew she had to help other women feel the pride and relief she felt.  She found power and strength in herself when she took control of her home. She got over her "own shit" and stopped believing she was "just a slob", which was the thought that had held her back her entire life.  Kate's goal is for you to find your version of that story. To stop hiding behind limiting beliefs and grab onto the life and home you deserve! As a trained psychologist and life coach, Kate has a unique perspective on decluttering your home that is about you and your journey, not just the stuff in your home. With her empathic and solution-focused approach to decluttering, and your commitment to yourself, you're finally going create sustainable change. In this episode, we break down the limiting beliefs that may be lies that are holding you back from becoming your best self with an organized mind, home and life. Kate and I talk about how decluttering your home can and will lead to a more fulfilling marriage and parent/child relationship if you have kids. We talk about the grief that comes with cleaning out a deceased loved one's home and many more topics around decluttering. Kate tells you how to get started, how to go about decluttering, secrets to being successful once you start decluttering your home and if you get stuck, she's right there to coach you by contacting her to get started! www.soulfulspacecoaching.com/newsletter www.soulfulspacecoaching.com IG: @soulfulspace.coaching For marriage coaching with Kam: www.recognizingpotential.com coaching@recognizingpotential.com IG: @divorce.proof.marriage If you are a supporter of this show, Kameran and her production team appreciate you immensely!

Dan Pashman hosts The Sporkful podcast - head to the Sporkful podfeed or sporkful.com to listen to the companion episode where we learn about how new varietals of apples are made.

To make this show, our team listens through hours upon hours of audio. But sometimes, a few excellent shows will slip through the cracks. This week, Leah is joined by the Podcast Playlist crew to share some amazing podcasts that you may have missed. Like Once upon a time...at Bennington College. Our senior producer Kate Evans likes it because listening feels like, "a summer page turner, but for a podcast." The show shares the history of the unique Liberal arts college where authors Brett Easton Ellis, Jonathan Lethem and Donna Tartt all went to school together.  Plus, Producer Julian Uzielli shares a heartfelt podcast about a group of Armenian soliders who survived months of being trapped behind enemy lines. That and more, this week on Podcast Playlist. Featuring: Once Upon a Time...at Bennington College (Kate's pick) -   "Bennington. Autumn, 1982. Donna, Jonathan and Bret arrive on the campus of the school nicknamed "The Little Red Whorehouse on the Hill." One of them comes with a steamer trunk. One of them comes with a Kangol cap. One of them comes with a "suitcase full of drugs." Freeway Phantom (Leah's pick) - "On April 25th, 1971, 13-year-old Carol Spinks mysteriously disappeared from her neighborhood in southeast Washington D.C. Six days later, her body was discovered off a nearby freeway. Investigators assumed this was a one-off murder. Little did they know, Carol was the first victim of D.C.'s first serial killer." The Ballad of Billy Balls (Kelsey's pick) - "It's 1982, and a man bursts into an East Village storefront apartment and shoots punk musician Billy Balls. Author and activist iO Tillett Wright and Crimetown Producer Austin Mitchell unravel a mystery of love and loss, the tender binds of family, and the stories we tell ourselves just to survive." Country of Dust (Julian's pick) - "This podcast from a multinational team of producers tells the stories of a changing Armenia. A lot has been happening here: revolution, war, immigration, a shifting economy and so much more. We capture what life is like here right now and explore the odd, inspiring and sometimes perplexing ways in which this country keeps going, despite the odds."
