– Utviklingen innen KI har vært uten sidestykke. Mine grunnvilkår som forsker har endret seg fundamentalt, sier Magnus Nordmo. I denne episoden av Science4Impact møter vi Magnus Nordmo, førsteamanuensis ved Universitetet i Sørøst-Norge, som i Khrono har tatt til orde for at universiteter må bruke kunstig intelligens (KI) langt mer aktivt. Han mener mange forskere og studenter kvier seg for å bruke KI åpent, ofte av frykt for å bli oppfattet som late eller som juksere. Nordmo ser det derimot som å få sin egen toppekspert, så lenge verktøyet brukes riktig. Science4Impact bygger bro mellom forskning og næringsliv for å styrke grønn konkurransekraft, og ledes av Bjørn Kjærand Haugland, administrerende direktør i Skift. God lytting! 

Stāsta Latvijas Radio bijušais skaņu režisors Vilnis Kundrāts Lai veiktu ierakstu, vispirms ir jāuzstāda aparatūra – jānovieto mikrofoni, vadi jāsaslēdz ar pultīm un jāiestata pamata režīmā, jānokalibrē ieraksta nesējs – vai tā būtu magnētiskā lente vai datu kasete. Tas prasa laiku, reizēm pat pāris stundas. Ja notiek gatavošanās milzīgam ierakstam, tas prasa varbūt četras stundas. Un, lai minētais process noritētu raiti, radio to veica un arī tagad veic skaņu inženieri. Viņi, starp citu, atbild arī par tehnikas stāvokli, tas ir, lai uzstādītā tehnika būtu kārtībā, labi strādātu, lai bojājumi būtu novērsti jau līdz ieraksta sākumam. Tad kopā ar skaņu režisoru viņi precizē mikrofonu atrašanās vietas. Iespējams, tad jau ir ieradušies arī mākslinieki, notiek skaņas mēģinājums un sākas ieraksta process. Ieraksta procesā no 90. gadu pirmās puses, piedalījās vēl arī trešais cilvēks – skaņu operators, kura uzdevums bija atrasties pie lentes magnetafona, to palaist un apturēt, un piefiksēt variantu nosaukumus, laikus, lai pēc tam šis lentes materiāls būtu normāli atšifrējams. Skaņu režisora uzmanība pamatā bija pievērsta ne tikai, teiksim, skaņas miksa radīšanai, bet būtībā viņš atbildēja arī par muzikālā materiāla kvalitāti: atskaņojuma ritmiskumu, intonāciju, pareizu nošu tekstu, un komunicēja par mākslinieciskiem jautājumiem – skaņdarba dramaturģiju, dinamiku. Tā kā bieži vien izpildītāji bija psiholoģiski ļoti koncentrējušies uz atskaņošanas procesu, no skaņu režisora pēc nospēlētā varianta prasīja vērtējumu – vai variants der, vai tas bija labi? Ja nebija labi, tad kas tieši jāizmaina? Ieraksta process bija ļoti intensīvs. Līdz ar to tehniskas lietas tika novirzītas citiem cilvēkiem. Pēc ieraksta skaņu režisora uzdevums bija derīgos variantus samontēt gala variantā. Tas parasti prasīja gandrīz tikpat daudz vai pat divreiz vairāk laika, nekā ieraksta process. Starp citu, toreiz ieraksta laiks 1. studijā tika dalīts apmēram trīs četru stundu garās sesijās. Parasti no diviem līdz sešiem bija Radio bigbenda laiks. Tad pēc sešiem vakarā notika klasiskās mūzikas fondu ieraksti, bet Radio koris parasti rakstīja rīta cēlienā, apmēram no desmitiem līdz vieniem, kad balsis bija pamodušās. Montāžas laiks bieži bija pat divreiz ilgāks, nekā ieraksts, un tas bija atkarīgs, no cik liela apjoma vajadzēja atlasīt derīgo materiālu. Ko nozīmēja – atlasīt? Ja jau ieraksta laikā netika nospriests, kuri ir derīgie varianti, tad skaņu režisora atbildība bija pārklausīties un izvēlēties, kuri tad būs tie labākie varianti un labākā kombinācija, ko varētu iekļaut galīgajā variantā. Pastāvēja prakse arī tikties ar māksliniekiem, noklausīties visu jau samontēto gala versiju, un, ja māksliniekam bija kādi jautājumi vai šaubas, tad vajadzēja atgriezties pie izejmateriāla un pārbaudīt, vai tiešām nebija kāds labāks variants. Ja nevarēja atrast, tad diemžēl bija tā, kā bija. Kā Jāzeps Kulbergs sacīja: "Mēs darījām to labāko, ko mēs varējām izdarīt." Man ienāca prātā daži raksturīgi teicieni, ko lietoja skaņu režisori. Piemēram, Jāzepa Kulberga teiciens bija arī šāds: "Labs cilvēks nav profesija." Kārļa Piņņa teiciens, ko viņš bieži atkārtoja, bija: "Darbs bojā cilvēku." Es domāju, ka abos gadījumos te ir runa par tādu skaņu režijā nepateicīgu lietu kā prasīgums. Skaņu režisoram nācās būt nelokāmam un ne vienmēr glaimot izpildītājam, ja ieraksta process neveda uz labu rezultātu, tāpēc attiecības starp skaņu režisoru un mākslinieku varēja būt arī problemātiskas. Vienlaikus tas varbūt vispār pieder pie skaņu režisora profesijas – viņam ir jābūt psiholoģiski piemērotam šai profesijai. Tas ir līdzīgi kā varbūt ārsta profesija, jo skaidrs, ka mākslinieks ieraksta laikā ir emocionāli atkailināts, viegli ievainojams, un tas būtībā ir tāds ļoti intīms, radošs mirklis, kad viņu nedrīkst traucēt, bet ieraksts tomēr prasa savas kvalitātes – te jāpanāk balanss. Starp citu, bija arī savi kuriozi. Vienu tādu reiz stāstīja Jāzeps Kulbergs, kurš ne reizi vien teica: strādājot ar diriģentu Leonīdu Vīgneru, viņš atklājis šādu lietu: ja, klausoties ierakstu variantus, Kulbergs sacījis, ka esot labi, Vīgners to esot noliedzis – sak', nē, nē, tas nav labs! Nākamreiz Kulbergs rīkojies otrādi un teicis, ka tas un tas ir slikts variants... Tad Vīgners izsaucies – nē, nē, nu, tas taču ir labs variants! Tā viņš esot strādājis ar mūsu lielo personību! No šādiem kurioziem nāk prātā arī kāds stāsts par ekstravaganto mākslinieci pianisti Jautrīti Putniņu. Pats gan klāt nebiju, bet stāstīja, ka vienā no ierakstiem māksliniecei reiz traucējis klavieru krēsls, kurš bijis par augstu. Tā kā to nav bijis iespējams nolaist zemāk, viņa tomēr neatlaidusies un ieteikusi skatuves strādniekiem: "Nu, dariet taču kaut ko, kaut vai ņemiet zāģi un nozāģējiet kājas!"

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ interviews Mark Mincy, Chief Commercial Officer at US RX Care, about the hidden complexities and conflicts of interest in the pharmacy benefits industry. Mark shares how his company is disrupting the status quo by demanding transparency, eliminating conflicts, and helping employers reclaim millions in savings. The conversation uncovers the tangled web of PBMs, rebates, and the urgent need for legislative and technological change. Key Takeaways: The PBM System is Riddled with Conflicts of Interest [2:34]Mark explains how pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and consultants often act in their own financial interest, not the employer’s or patient’s, leading to inflated drug costs. Rebates and Purchasing Contributions Inflate Drug Prices [8:59]The system of rebates and retrospective payments to PBMs can account for up to 80% of a drug’s cost, forcing manufacturers to raise prices and employers to pay more. Transparency and Fiduciary Duty are Essential for Reform [21:37]Mark’s company, US RX Care, operates with complete transparency, passes back all rebates, and offers per-member-per-month guarantees to eliminate guesswork and conflicts. Employers and Consumers Can Take Action [33:34]Mark recommends joining healthcare purchaser coalitions, hiring ERISA attorneys, and demanding non-conflicted consultants to protect interests and drive industry change. Quote of the Show [31:27]:"Everything's intertwined. You want to move and do the right thing. These employers are between a rock and a hard place, so I do think some legislative action needs to occur." – Mark Mincy Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

La noticia llegó hace apenas unos días desde el Instituto de Ciencias Naturales de Islandia: la presencia de mosquitos ha sido confirmada en territorio islandés por primera vez en la historia de esa nación nórdica. Fue de la siguiente forma. Un aficionado a los insectos, un tal Björn Hjaltason, estaba en una granja en Kjós, al norte de Reikiavik, observando sus trampas para mariposas, que consisten en una cinta impregnada en vino tinto para atraerlas. Y allí, en esa inusual trampa de vino, a la caída de la tarde del 16 de octubre, nuestro amigo vio algo raro. Una "mosca extraña", dijo él. La capturó de inmediato, sospechando la verdad. Aquel insecto, y los dos que atrapó después, resultaron ser, tras el análisis del instituto, tres ejemplares de la especie Culiseta annulata: dos hembras y un macho. El entomólogo Matthías Alfreðsson, del Instituto de Ciencias Naturales islandés, lo ha dejado claro: los ejemplares encontrados son de la especie Culiseta annulata, un mosquito grande, extendido por Europa y resistente al frío. De hecho, está adaptado a hibernar como adulto en lugares protegidos, como sótanos o graneros. Pueden sobrevivir a inviernos largos y crudos. Y esto nos lleva directamente a los culpables de este asalto biológico, que son dos: el cambio climático y el transporte internacional.

In this Write Big Session, Jennie and KJ dive into what it really means to “write big” when you're deep in the messy middle of a novel. KJ shares how she's tackling her new book by working backward from the ending—mapping out the emotional and plot arcs for each character to keep herself focused and out of the coffee-chat scenes she loves to write. Jennie cheers her on, unpacking how this kind of clarity, self-awareness, and trust in the reader is what turns a good book into a great one.TRANSCRIPT BELOW!THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST* The Correspondent* KJ's Review of The CorrespondentSPONSORSHIP MESSAGEHey, this is Jennie Nash, and I wanted to invite you to check out my Substack newsletter, The Art & Business of Book Coaching. It's totally free unless you choose to support me, and it's secretly really great for writers. The reason is that book coaches are in the business of helping writers do their best work. So I'm always talking about writer mindset and things like helping a writer find their structure or find an agent or find their position in the marketplace. If you're considering investing in having somebody help you, it's a great way to get prepared to know who you might want to pick and what you might want to ask of them. You'll get an inside peek at the way that the people who are in the business of helping writers think about writers, and so in that way, it can help you become a better writer just by tuning in. I have a lot of writers following me over there, so if you're interested, come check it out you can find it at substack.com/@JennieNash. That's substack.com/@JennieNash, and it's J-E-N-N-I-E.EPISODE TRANSCRIPTJennie NashHi, I'm Jennie Nash, and you're listening to the Hashtag AmWriting Podcast. This is a Write Big Session, where I'm bringing you short episodes about the mindset shifts that help you stop playing small and write like it matters. Today I'm talking to KJ, and we're going to be doing recurring episodes where we talk about her efforts to play big and write big in her new novel. Hi, KJ.KJ Dell'AntoniaHi! This is going to be so fun. Okay, so I'll tell you what—yeah, I'll tell you what I've been working on. What I'm thinking—like, my theory here is sort of avoid the muddly middle by writing the end, or kind of outlining to the end. So I have about 30,000 words. I've really established things. The main events have really started to happen, and I know kind of where they're going, but I kind of hit a point where I wasn't sure, like, what should happen next, in what order. And I know myself—I am very prone, at this point, to just flaking off into people having coffee and talking.Jennie NashYes, you are! You are really good at that.KJ Dell'AntoniaExactly. And they would be very entertaining and enjoyable scenes of people having coffee and—or doing whatever. But there is—I mean, I have five point-of-view characters, one main one, but—and all of them have lots of stuff going on in their lives, some of which has to do with this, and some of which doesn't. Well, all of it does, but you don't—it's not all the core, either the core emotional plot or the core actual plot. So what I did was to start sketching out the stuff that happens next, and then I kind of have jumped ahead, and what I'm working on now—and I'd love your sort of feedback on this as an idea—is I wrote out, like, okay, here's the emotional end for each of these characters. Here's where they need to end up, and then here's the plot end for each of these characters in, like, the happy ending, if there was an epilogue—which this is not really that kind of book kind of way—just so I know, like, this is where… And now I am focused on, okay, what should, like, the last scene of this be? I know what happens, but I'm trying to figure out, like, what would be the—what would be the last thing? And I may get this in the wrong order, but anyway, that's where I am, and I'm going to build those backwards until I catch up to my middle, and I'm thinking that will keep me—keep my eye on the ball. What do you think?Jennie NashWell, I could not love this more for you. I really couldn't, because I know what you're trying to do, and I feel like you're doing it, and we're getting at this idea of what does it mean to write big, and you're trying to solve for something that you just identified for us—that you have it, you tend to fall into—and you're trying to not do that. And you're trying to write a bigger, better book because of it, and it's so interesting because it's a super nuanced thing you're talking about, but it's also where the difference—that's how you get from good to great—and you're trying to get to great. So I just love this so much. And what I hear is that you've outlined this book, which I know is hard for you, and now you're kind of using that outline to scaffold yourself to write an emotionally satisfying story. So I just—I love it as a tactic for writing big.KJ Dell'AntoniaBecause even if I go back to that outline, like, there are some things happening in these people's personal lives that are deeply important to them—and, I think, important to the reader—but not in the sense that I need pages and pages of either discussion or introspection about them. It's more that those are—that they really need to stay back, not background exactly, but in this intense moment of these people's lives, those things are still in their heads. Like, they're still going, you know, Wait, what just happened means that I am never going to get a resolution to this thing that I'm deeply worried about—but also I have to deal with this, with this death and this crisis. And so I was thinking that doing this would keep me focused on the emotionality of the crisis.Jennie NashYeah, because you're really good at plot. You're really good at plot, and the other component that—underlying what is—the emotion of this person is something you've had to work harder at. And what I love about that is that this is how you get really fully fleshed-out characters. Because, like, I have a friend who is going through a heartbreak, and every single thing she does right now is done through the lens of that heartbreak. So even if she says, “Hey, do you want to go on a whale-watching trip out to the islands this weekend?” it's not just about let's go on a whale-watching trip, right? It's about—KJ Dell'AntoniaRight.Jennie NashBut she's not going to say that when she asks me to go on the whale-watching trip. She's not going to say, “Because, you know, I'm lonely and sad,” you know? So what you're doing is giving your characters these rich lives. But that's not the story.KJ Dell'AntoniaAnd also, I think it will help me to trust the readers—to pay attention to what matters about the rich lives. So, you know, to trust the reader to keep in their head that if someone has a passing, fleeting thought about one of those emotional—you know, one of those pieces of emotional background—that they will still either be wondering about it, if I haven't revealed it yet, or, you know, recognize it for what it is. And I suspect that I'm going to forget some of them. As I go back through my outline, I'm like, Oh yeah, totally forgot she had this particular problem, and this is how this is going to be resolved. And that may mean that some of them don't stay, although I think they will. I think it just means that I got—that, you know, ninety thousand words' worth of story is a lot to keep in your head.Jennie NashSo when you sit down to write, how are you doing it differently? I mean, we know that you're very good at productivity—doing the stickers, sitting down, doing the work—but how are you making yourself think in this different way this time?KJ Dell'AntoniaI am not drafting. I am staring. And I have two—oh, I have a Google Doc of about forty-six files at this point. Then—actually, no, I think it's twenty-eight. So I have an outline that you are sometimes looking at, which has everything that I've written so far, and then a chunk of things that I know are coming up, where I could write those pretty quickly. The problem is… I would hit a wall at the end of them. So I want to come back and make sure that they're what I want to—or at least what I think I want to—write. So I'm going into a sort of a secondary outline, and I'm writing things like—because a lot of what's happening now is also that I am figuring out things that are happening now in the story that the reader won't know till the end, because a lot of people did a lot of stuff—Jennie NashYeah.KJ Dell'Antonia—in this twenty-four-hour period, and some of it you may never know, but I need to know how and why—Jennie NashYeah.KJ Dell'Antonia…they did those things. So I'm kind of writing like, “What if he did this?” and, “Oh, you know, but—but wait, why? Why would he show up there at this moment?” and, like, resolving that and kind of coming up with all of that, even though that isn't going to go in those pages. So I did—I worked on that this morning, and then I worked on—I wrote out the emotional ends for everyone. And now I'm just trying to—I'm thinking what I'll kind of do is I'll plot-outline backwards, and then I'll emotion-outline backwards-forwards from there.Jennie NashYeah. Yeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaNo, no—well, backwards, I think, maybe because I know where they're going to end. I don't know whether—or I'll sketch, I'll sketch in the emotional bit. So what you—when you were looking at this, you could see that there's a section of about seven lines that are pure plot.Jennie NashYeah. Yeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaBecause… that's just me. I think, at this point, because this is a thriller and it's complicated, I need to figure out—and then you and I—we had this great moment where, in one of those, I was like, I don't know whose point of view the scene was from, and you said something very useful to me, which is, “Whose story would seeing this affect most?” And I knew—and I immediately knew the answer to that. So—Jennie NashI… I thought that you might.KJ Dell'AntoniaThat was a great way to deal with that.Jennie NashYeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaYeah. I thought that you might. So I know we're talking vaguely, but it's this idea that when you have something that happens in the story, and there's choices about what is the result of that action in the story—that different things could happen, different people could show up, different things could be said, different, you know, directions could go from this plot point. And right—the quest—you were saying, I'm not sure who's going to be part of this action?Jennie NashWho's going to find it?KJ Dell'AntoniaRight?Jennie NashYeah, who's going to find this one character having this—I don't—I know—I don't want it to be from that character's point of view. Somebody needs to come upon a character, you know, who's just made a really crushing emotional discovery. And the question of who would—seeing that—whose emotional story would that alter the most? Because the plot at that point is going to be rolling. Like, I almost don't have just the facts of what's happening here; like, the plots are basically almost a one-line thing. So, like, the plot goes… yeah…Jennie NashThat's what we're getting at here. This is what it means to write big—it's what you're thinking about. We know what the plot is. It's really quite simple. I mean, it's straightforward, I should say—how you present it is not simple. And the emotional part—that's what's going to give us the emotional punch—is not simple. And so the decisions about every—at every plot point—what's going to give the most emotional resonance here—that's what writing big is. And you said something that I want to point back to, which is, you're holding all of this in your head. I have always said that I think the primary skill of a really skillful novelist is holding multiple things in their head at one time, right?KJ Dell'AntoniaIt's all in there. It's like a big—it's like a big sack of Jell-O.Jennie NashYeah? But the ability to—I mean, it's funny you use that metaphor—but it's more, it's more like, I think of it as threads. And you're like, “Okay, got this thread, and I got this thread, I'm holding these threads, and I'm weaving them together, and I have a grasp of all the threads.” That's what you're doing, and it's that—it's that skill. You have to have self-awareness, you have to have story awareness, you have to have confidence and authority—like, there are so many things that you have to have to pull that off, and I see that that's what you're trying to do here. And it's so cool to watch. I love it.KJ Dell'AntoniaAnd I don't feel like I have those things. And I do think, you know, as I'm thinking about listeners out there going, I don't have those things, I mean, I get that. I don't feel like I have them either. I think when we, as readers, are also seeing ourselves as a writer, like, a really common thing that we think as a reader is, Oh, I know how a story works because I've read so many of them. And then I personally had to learn from Jennie quite a few years ago now that that did not actually teach me how to do this—structure the spot—but the holding the whole mess in your head, I think that may be what you get from a lifetime of reading—is this ability to have a big, loose grasp and, you know, keep enough notes to know that you've put a—you know, a pin in some section to come back to it, and that kind of thing. I feel like that might be the thing that we do have within us.Jennie NashAbsolutely. I'm looking—I'm trying to find—I just started reading a book based on your recommendation, and I can't, I can't find it, but you're going to know what it is. It's the novel in letters, the—uh…KJ Dell'AntoniaOh, The Correspondent.Jennie NashThe Correspondent, thank you. I mean, I—KJ Dell'AntoniaThat's a first novel, but from a very adult human being. You know, it's not a first-first novel by a twenty-two-year-old. It's a first novel from probably somebody who's probably written a few.Jennie NashBut the reason that I—well, I always love the way that you talk about books. Your sense as a reader, I just really appreciate. But you said something about it—that this book really trusts the reader to fill in the blanks, to figure out what's happening. They're not spoon-feeding you. And you mentioned how that felt unusual these days. And I thought, Oh, I want that experience as a reader. And also, I love that experience as a person who studies how books are made, and that trying to build that experience for the reader—that's what you're trying to do. By holding all those things in your head and deciding how and when to share them, or whose hands to put them in in a particular scene, or that sort of thing—that's how you build that. And it's hard. It's really hard. So I applaud you for—you're in there, it's messy, you're doing it, you're doing it. It's so exciting.KJ Dell'AntoniaAnd one of the other things that we've talked about is how, like, every time many of us write, we're trying to write bigger. Like, this—it's not an insult to our past work; it's just we're trying to do bigger and do more. And so I'm thinking about—so when I was writing my earliest books, I remember that one of the things I was focusing on in books that I was reading was how people began things, and where, you know, where the turning points were—kind of where the Save the Cat!, moments were, absolutely, in terms of… but not just where those were, but sort of how they were done—like how people regret, and how they demonstrated who the protagonists were. And then I remember moving on to a question of how little does someone put in a book about a secondary character, or someone who really mattered to the protagonist's life, that tells me what I need to know as a reader but doesn't take up a lot of pages.Jennie NashYeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaAnd I would literally go in and count—like, okay, how many times did we see this mother that I fully understand how important they were to the protagonist? And it'll be, like, twice and a couple of references. So I remember doing that. And now I feel like what I'm really paying attention to is how little does a book that I really enjoy—the process of sort of working my way through—how little does it give people, and how much does it demand that you figure out?Jennie NashYeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaHow little information are you given so that you can do—because that's the good work of a reader. Sometimes you don't want to do that, you know? Sometimes you kind of want it all served up, or you kind of want something where the tropes are simple enough that you can—but sometimes you really want something where you have to do some figuring out. And it doesn't—The Correspondent is not a thriller.Jennie NashRight.KJ Dell'AntoniaBut you really have to figure out, like, who is this person, and why do they do this, and why are they able to do this, and why—how are they making mistakes by doing—and by “do this,” I mean, she's a letter writer. She's the correspondent. She writes letters instead of, as it turns out, really, instead of talking to people. But it's really good, so I do recommend it.Jennie NashSo I like to end these short episodes with a reflection that the listener can do, or something that they can take away to think about based on what we've talked about. Is there something that comes to your mind that you would recommend?KJ Dell'AntoniaWell, it's a little dependent on where you are in your manuscript, but I think—so what I'm really going to recommend is, come at what you're doing from a different angle within the book. Start from something you know happens, and either work backwards up to it or forwards or backwards from it, instead of working chronologically—not necessarily in terms of drafting, but just in terms of figuring out what are the very most important things that have to show up on the page.Jennie NashI love that. Well, until next time, for everyone listening—stop playing small and write like it matters.NarratorThe Hashtag AmWriting Podcast is produced by Andrew Perrella.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Micah Remley, CEO of Robin Powered, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of hybrid work. They explore how data-driven approaches can transform workplace culture, boost productivity, and help companies thrive in a post-pandemic world where flexibility and connection are more important than ever. Key Takeaways: [2:06] Hybrid work is here to stay, but a one-size-fits-all solution doesn't work—companies must use data to create meaningful in-person experiences. [6:53] Culture is the tie that binds organizations; remote and hybrid work have made it harder to maintain, but it's essential for long-term success. [17:19] Proximity to high performers in the office can boost individual performance by 15% due to emulation and peer pressure. [22:05] Flexible, unstructured hybrid models often fail—coordinated team days and intentional office use are key to making hybrid work successful.

You kids I can't even with Catherine Newman right now because I am a Wreck and a Sandwich myself at the moment but wow, she's a good writer, so honest it's like there's no skull between her mind and the readers. We talk about what it means to use yourself and your world in your fiction and what it's meant to Catherine to play as big as she possibly can and go bigger and deeper with every book.We ALSO talk about Catherine's totally granular technique for planning and tracking and keeping her eye on the ball in every chapter while still pulling in all the other things while making sure that if it's Friday night a teacher character doesn't get up and go to teach the next morning and the blackberries never ripen in April, and let me tell you that I just went back and listened to that now and I am about to implement it because it's brilliant.Ok, time to let you listen (although links to what Catherine and I are reading and loving are below). ALSO…Truth? We wanted to tuck the transcript away behind a paywall, but it turns out we can't do that and still give you the episode… so, here it is. But we have to pay someone to make a good one, that you can read. And we still have to pay ourselves and all our people. BUT LOOK YOU GET ALL OF US. We're not just one writer, we're a whole bunch—a Groupstack, and yes we coined the term, and you get a lot of bang for your subscription. So, if you could kick in, we'd cheer.Please don't make us try to sell you Quince clothing or gambling sites to support the pod.#AmReadingCatherine: A Truce That Is Not Peace by Miriam ToewsKJ: EPISODE TRANSCRIPTKJ Dell'AntoniaIt's fall, y'all, and there's got to be a T-shirt that says that, right? So it's, you know, fresh notebooks, sharpened pencils, sharpened sense of ambition, excitement after the languid summer days, and, of course, the glory that is decorative gourd season. You can say that with all the swears that you like, but I'm not going to hear “falling leaves” and “Halloween,” which means it's time for smoky, eerie, witchy reads, and I have just the thing for you—Playing the Witch Card. Expect a woman starting over again after her marriage collapses, hampered by her magic-obsessed daughter, her flaky mother, her enchanted ex, and a powerful witch who's thrilled that she's back in town—and not for a good reason. To keep her family together, Flair has to embrace the hereditary magic that's done nothing but ruin her life in the past and make it her own. I was inspired by what I see as the real magic of tarot cards, which play a huge role in this book—and tea leaves and palm reading, and honestly, every form of oracle. They're here to help us see and understand our own stories, which is pretty much what Flair figures out. And as someone for whom stories are everything, I love that. You can buy Playing the Witch Card everywhere, and I hope you will do exactly that—and love it too.Multiple SpeakersIs it recording? Now it's recording, yay. Go ahead. This is the part where I stare blankly at the microphone. I don't remember what I'm supposed to be doing. All right, let's start over. Awkward pause. I'm going to rustle some papers. Okay, now—one, two, three.KJ Dell'AntoniaHey, kids, it's KJ, and this is the Hashtag AmWriting Podcast—the place where we help you play big in your writing life, love the process, and finish what matters. Today on the pod, I'm talking with Catherine Newman. She is the author most recently of We All Want Impossible Things and Sandwich, and also, earlier in her career, Waiting for Birdy and Catastrophic Happiness, as well as two fabulous “how to be a person in the world” books for kids that, honestly, I think we could all benefit from. I'm considering just, you know, sending out copies. They are How to Be a Person and What Can I Say?—that one's really useful. Okay, so now, just out, she has Wreck—which kind of comes after Sandwich, but you could read them separately. They're both small, intense books. Wreck, like all of Catherine's work, is inevitably about exactly what I just said—it's how to be a person in the world. Which—I didn't actually ask Catherine this; I'm recording my intro for y'all after talking to her—but she would not tell you she knows how to be a person in the world. But she is so fantastic about the part where we're all figuring it out, and being aware that we're all figuring it out. And that's what all of her books are about. In the interview, which you're going to love, she calls herself the queen of the slight plot element, which made me laugh really hard and also made me realize that I think Catherine Newman is the modern Anne Tyler. So tell me what you think in the comments on the show notes—which you'd better be getting. They are at...there's no hashtag in our name—AmWritingPodcast.com—or search anywhere they will have the books that Catherine mentions, and also all of your chances to do all of the things, like have your First Page appear in a Booklab episode. Talk to us. Get in there. Tell us what you're thinking about writing. Write along with us. Really just—just all the community stuff that we all so desperately want. Okay, here comes my interview with Catherine. I know—gosh, it was so fun to talk to you. You guys are going to love it. Catherine Newman, welcome to the Hashtag AmWriting Podcast, where you've been at least once, maybe twice—I need to go and look. It's so fun to have you back. I remember us walking in the woods before you had finished We All Want Impossible Things in 2021.Catherine NewmanI remember it too.KJ Dell'AntoniaWhich, actually, for three books, is not that long ago.Catherine NewmanHey, that's true. I know... I remember your dog.KJ Dell'AntoniaHe's here somewhere.Catherine NewmanYou had a young dog with you. It was the best. And you—you said so many things that I've thought about so much on that walk. But I don't want to derail the thing you want to talk about.KJ Dell'AntoniaBut, but same—it was a great walk. We must do it again. All right, meanwhile—okay, so I already described in the introduction all the things you've ever written in the past and raved about you, so don't—don't worry about that. You've been—sorry you don't get to hear the petting. But the question is, tell us—tell us a little bit about Wreck.Catherine NewmanYeah, so Wreck...KJ Dell'AntoniaI know, I know, it's painful. Elevator pitch or whatever you want to say, because seriously, I did just tell everyone about them in the intro.Catherine NewmanI really need an elevator pitch. I feel like We All Want Impossible Things was like a woman whose best friend was dying while she, like, slept with everybody.KJ Dell'AntoniaYeah, it was joyful.Catherine NewmanThat was easy.KJ Dell'AntoniaAlso sad.Catherine NewmanSandwich was like Cape Cod for a week, reproductive mayhem, sandwich generation. Wreck is so weird because there's these two sort of very slight plot elements. So it's, you know, a woman in her mid-50s living in a house with her husband of many years, her daughter, who's between college and grad school, and her dad, who was fairly recently widowed and in his 90s. And that's mostly what the book is, but the little plots are that she has a rash—she notices that she has a rash—and it inaugurates this kind of diagnostic tornado. A slow and quiet tornado, but a tornado nonetheless, where she has to see a billion doctors. She has to constantly check her patient portal to see if she's dying or not, and anyone who's had—who's been anything but healthy in the last 10 years will understand the patient portal.KJ Dell'AntoniaYes, I love the checker. I checked a patient portal from a hockey-rink parking lot, and that's a mistake, just FYI.Catherine NewmanJust don't...KJ Dell'AntoniaTo anyone considering it, don't do it on a Friday night. Don't do that.Catherine NewmanJust don't even look. And then the other plot point is that there's an accident—there's a collision between a car and a train—and a schoolmate of her kids, like someone they went to high school with, is killed in this accident. And she becomes kind of weirdly obsessed with the accident. She looks at it online all the time. She stalks everyone's...KJ Dell'AntoniaWhich so tracks for the character that you have created.Catherine NewmanDoesn't it? And that's it. And so the book sort of is those things unfolding in this parallel way—these uncertain things.KJ Dell'AntoniaSo when you wrote it, what—what was your intention for this? What did you want Wreck to be in your career and for your readers?Catherine NewmanWhat? It's so funny to be asked questions about my career. I don't know what I wanted it to be in my career, but maybe while I'm talking to you, I'll figure that out.KJ Dell'AntoniaOkay.Catherine NewmanOr you can tell me. But for my readers—I do think we're in this funny place where some of us are hungry to read about the experiences of other menopausal women who are taking care of aging parents, whose nests are emptying, who are in long marriages, who are, you know, doing the things of this age, including tracking weird illnesses. So I guess that—you know, I think, I feel like the thing that I love about writing—one of the things—is when people say to me, like, “Oh yeah, I feel the same way about that,” or they write me and they're like, “Oh, I read this, and I felt so relieved that I wasn't alone.” And I guess I have a lot of that hope—you know, that it speaks to someone, or someone's been in their portal rummaging around and finding out horrible things about their health and Googling them. Like, that's not a small part of the population who's probably doing that. So I guess just that—you know, the handout, the “I'm with you on this” vibe.KJ Dell'AntoniaSo what do you love most about it?Catherine Newman(Laughing) I mean, that's a funny and embarrassing question. I... you know, the father character is based very closely on my own father. Many of the things he says are verbatim lifted from conversations and texts with my dad. And I just love that character so much. I think he's so funny and has this kind of deep wisdom. I mean, Wreck plays him for laughs a little bit, but he offers so much to her. He's still this really profound caretaking force in her life, even though he himself, you know, is failing in different ways. So I guess that's what I like.KJ Dell'AntoniaHow does your dad feel about you taking his stuff?Catherine NewmanHe loved this book.KJ Dell'AntoniaI love this!Catherine NewmanHe has not felt that way always about the way I represent him. I represent him in Sandwich in similar ways, and Sandwich—there were just particular things that bugged him. He loved the book overall but didn't love his character. I think in this book, maybe because there's so much of his character, that it gets to be a very well-rounded kind of person, and also somebody whose opinion it's obvious the other characters respect. So he really loved it, which was, like, everything to me, you know?KJ Dell'AntoniaYeah, oh, wow. I'd give a lot for that. That's—that's wonderful. I would—it's... although all my dad ever says is, “Why don't you—you only write about mothers? You never write...” I'm like, well, I don't know if you read some of the mothers. You're kind of lucky. You're doing okay. I don't know why—you guys were great. You should have been better fodder for affection, and then I would... yeah. All right. So, okay, so that's what you love about it. What was the hardest about this?Catherine NewmanIt's funny—it's a little hard to talk about without spoilers, but, um, there's a difficult part of the plot that involves Rocky's son, who works for a consulting firm in New York, where she really questions his values, questions the decision to do that kind of work.KJ Dell'AntoniaThat would stun me, frankly.Catherine NewmanHowever, he knows a lot about that kind of work, and talked to me a ton about it for the book—like, went on a million walks with me and let me pick his brain about it. And I really just found it so hard to write about this kind of painful conflict between Rocky and her son. I just found it really hard. Yeah...KJ Dell'AntoniaObviously, yeah, that's actually what you did, wasn't it?Catherine NewmanI can imagine... that's it. I imagined it. And honestly, my husband could hardly stand to read it. He found it so devastating. Just—and it's, as you know, it's not massive conflict. It's like...KJ Dell'AntoniaBut it is. It's...Catherine NewmanBut it is. YepKJ Dell'AntoniaI mean, it's, you know—Catherine NewmanYep.KJ Dell'AntoniaIt's it—goes back to Alex Keaton, right? [Unintelligible] Both of us, yeah, yeah, no, I get it. It's a really—and by writing it, even if it's not autobiographical, which it's not, it's fiction, you are saying something about some compatriots, you know, some other—you're really, you're—you're putting—you're putting a stake in the ground, which I think has always been pretty obvious for anyone who knows you or has read you, but maybe you had not verbalized even in a fictional form.Catherine NewmanHmm, maybe.KJ Dell'AntoniaCould feel judgmental because—it's judgmental (whispered). But it's values. That's what values do. A value that doesn't judge anyone isn't a value, even if you don't want to judge people. But I think it's kind of true, like...Catherine NewmanYeah, yeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaYou can also be open. But, I mean, that's—I don't know if, if you don't offer that up, then we're all just sitting here going, “Oh, it's fine. It's all...”Catherine NewmanEverything's fine.KJ Dell'AntoniaEverything's fine, it's fine. That's a joke in our house, because we had this Spanish exchange student, and he would always say, “Oh, it's fine,” when—and it—what that meant was, it wasn't.Catherine NewmanOh no, it wasn't fine.KJ Dell'AntoniaYeah, no... that's what it means when we say, “It's fine.”Catherine NewmanOh my God, KJ.KJ Dell'AntoniaAll right, so this kind of gets to, I think, my next question, which—which is, what about this was, um, bigger for you? Was a bigger leap to take in your writing?Catherine NewmanIt's like, you know, I think it's just a little more plot in a novel than I've ever managed. Even though, you know—don't laugh because there's not a ton of plot. But nonetheless, there were sort of these two vectors of significant—I thought—dramatic contention that I had to manage in the writing, and—and I was anxious about it. Like, I—I like a quiet story that's not like—is too plot-driven. But anyway, so that is—it was, you know, I definitely plotted it a little more actively before I wrote it, like I wanted to make sure that these plots were unfolding in the timeframe I wanted them to unfold in.KJ Dell'AntoniaAnd did that present some new, like, “Oops, I did this too fast, oops...” just that you hadn't really had to...?Catherine NewmanNo, because I plotted it. It actually didn't, but it just presented—before I started writing, I had the challenge of, you know, practically trying to graph these two plots to see where they would intersect, and—and the sort of ways that the two plots together create this kind of character arc for Rocky, the main character. And so I was—I just, like—I usually, I have this way that I plot stuff, and it's kind of based on that book that I use because of you, which is like, you know, Put On Your Pants—or Take Off Your Pants, or, you know, the book...KJ Dell'AntoniaOh yeah, oh yeah.Catherine NewmanAnd—and I, so I do this thing where I make a—I write down the numbers 1 to 25, and I print that. I print a piece of paper that has the numbers 1 through 25 in type font. I don't know why I don't just hand-write the whole thing. That—and I guess the thought's how many chapters it's going to be, but it's never quite right. And then I fill in what I know. So I put in everything I know, and guess where it's going to go in terms of the—what are the things? What's it called when it's like a thing...?KJ Dell'AntoniaYeah, the... the turning point or the...Catherine NewmanOr the beat...KJ Dell'AntoniaOr the moment of last resolve? Yeah, the beat!Catherine NewmanYeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaYeah.Catherine NewmanSo I fill in everything, like, I know, you know. I have a sense of how it's going to open. I have a sense of the different elements of the two plots, and I put them in this weird numbered-chapter thing. And usually—like, usually as if I've written so many books—but with the other two novels, I did that a little willy-nilly, and it was fine. Like, I sat down and wrote the books beginning to end without all of it totally sorted in terms of where everything would go, and that was fine. This book, I really had to understand where it was all going to go, so I had to just be sure that all of the most important plot points were plotted in that 1-through-25.KJ Dell'AntoniaDo you? I mean, you have a lot of moving emotional pieces too. Asking for a friend—how do you make sure that those are all resolved? Or do you? Or does it just happen?Catherine NewmanThat's a really good question. I hope they're resolved, or if they're not, that that's intentional, by the way. Yeah, I—I'm just thinking about, like, the different relationships. You know, most of what the book is, is like Rocky's relationships with the people she loves—like, that is sort of the heart of the book. And then her grappling with herself, both physically and psychologically. I think I have a sense of those. Those are kind of included in those. I have, like, a—in that 1-through-25— sorry if this is too granular.KJ Dell'AntoniaNo, I love it.Catherine NewmanIn the 1-through-25, I have the plot thing that's like, “Rocky reads her biopsy results,” or, you know, whatever the thing is. And then I have this other column that's like, the other things that need to happen in that chapter, if that's what's happening in the chapter. And that's where I keep information about stuff that's like, “Willa forgives her,” you know—whatever other thing needs to happen. So I sort of track the plot, and then I—and I also have a little other column that's just like, seasonal details. And that I don't fill out super carefully, but, like, because this book moves from essentially Labor Day to New Year's, I—I just tracked a little before I started writing, like, around when in that season things were going to be happening, you know, that's Halloween, it's Thanksgiving, it's the winter holidays, New Year's, and then it's going to be, like, the leaves are turning, the blackberries that, you know?KJ Dell'AntoniaYeah, no, it's so hard. Is it Tuesday? Like...?Catherine NewmanYeah (laughing).KJ Dell'AntoniaDang it. Oh, wait—if its four days from the first day, and the first day was a Thursday, that means its Sunday, and Sundays do have a particular rhythm on their own. And yeah, no, it's so hard.Catherine NewmanIt's really hard, although that part's my favorite part, probably—besides, I love dialogue. But I love—I keep a lot of notes that are really dull on their own about, like, the weather and the landscape, just in general. I don't even know what I'm going to use them for. I just keep a ton of notes about the seasons. And I love pilfering stuff for fiction from them because it's just like—it's going to be fairly accurate. Like, I will have dated it. I'll have a fairly strong sense of whether that will work or not.KJ Dell'AntoniaYeah, you're not going to put the blackberries in April.Catherine NewmanAnd I'm not going to put the blackberries in April, and I have that cheater feeling of chunking in something I've already kind of written down, and then your word count goes up by, like, 300 words.KJ Dell'AntoniaYou're like, hey... [Unintelligible].Catherine NewmanYeah, exactly.KJ Dell'AntoniaOh my gosh, I love this. All right, well, one last question, and that is—what have you read recently where you felt like the writer was really, you know, playing big, doing their very max?Catherine NewmanYeah, I just read—well, I just got it in the mail, although my kitten—I want to show you, she has, like...KJ Dell'AntoniaShe had some fun with it...Catherine NewmanChewed up every corner.KJ Dell'AntoniaYeah.Catherine NewmanSo this book is A Truce That Is Not Peace by Miriam Toews. And she is a very, very favorite writer of mine. She wrote the novel All My Puny Sorrows that I always press on everybody, because it's like the perfect funny, sad novel. This book I got to blurb, so I read it a while ago, and it just came—and I think it just came out maybe this week, I'm not sure. It's so incredibly good. It's really strange—someone—she's doing some conference in Mexico, and she has to write an answer to the question, “Why do I write?”KJ Dell'AntoniaOkay.Catherine NewmanAnd she keeps starting and stopping, and it's so—it's nonfiction. I mean, it's just authentically this, and she includes, like, letters to her sister. Her sister killed herself some number of years ago, and that's the event that All My Puny Sorrows—which is a novel—is based on. But this, I am under the impression that's the first time she's written about it...KJ Dell'AntoniaIn a nonfiction way—yeah.Catherine NewmanIn a nonfiction way. And it is just—I did that thing, you know, when a book is so good? I picked it up because I knew I was going to talk to you about it, and then I read it for, like, an hour.KJ Dell'AntoniaYeah, no, I get it.Catherine NewmanEven though I have, like, already read it. It's so moving and beautiful and so—like, she's just struggling in this, like, really profound way to process loss and to understand herself and what she's created in the world. And it's so good.KJ Dell'AntoniaIt sounds huge, and I would—yeah, I'm going to pick it up. I have a funny story about All My Puny Sorrows, which is that I took it to Spain while I was waiting for one of those patient-portal things. I had cancer at the time, and that's—the character of the sister who wanted to kill herself made me so angry that I had to hide—not only did I have to leave the book behind, I had to hide it in the hotel so it would not juju me. I obviously survived, because this was, I think, seven or eight years ago. But I couldn't—like, I just—it was... but that actually speaks to the power of the book.Catherine NewmanInteresting... yeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaIt's not that it wasn't an amazing book. It was that I literally couldn't handle the particular, you know, mental illness that the sister was struggling with when I, you know, did not really want to die. Did not want to die, yeah. So I...Catherine NewmanThat's amazing... yeah.KJ Dell'AntoniaShe's a really powerful writer.Catherine NewmanThat—that is a really powerful story. Wait, were you going to share with me a book? Or it doesn't work that way?KJ Dell'AntoniaWell, it doesn't...Catherine NewmanKJ looks around...KJ Dell'AntoniaBecause I did not prepare.Catherine NewmanWhat are you writing, KJ? What are you working on? What's happening?KJ Dell'AntoniaAll right, we're going to call this as an episode.Catherine Newman(Laughing)KJ Dell'AntoniaBecause it was excellent, and then I'm going to answer Catherine's question, which all of you listeners kind of vaguely know. Let's just say I'm trying to play big.
