POPULARITY
Why? Because Kae Lani Palmisano is approaching food journalism in the same way BSR approaches arts journalism: food and the arts (and media about them) are gateways for new voices and conversations, not an elitist checkpoint. Sometimes people push back on this work: see Palmisano's recent Bon Appétit piece about the eight best cheesesteaks in Philly—she got “so much flack” for highlighting local Lebanese, Mexican, Korean, and Ethiopian chefs' offerings alongside the better-known favorites. But this is the kind of inclusive, curious, and future-facing coverage we love at BSR.Our own Kyle V. Hiller moderated this conversation with Palmisano, journalist and digital producer Alisha Miranda (The Inquirer, Eater, Billy Penn, Philly Mag, Edible Philly, and more) and Inquirer deputy food editor Margaret Eby.We're excited to welcome Palmisano as she launches Power Dining, a podcast and newsletter exploring the power structures, power moves, and power DINE-amics of the world of food.Links:https://www.kaelanisays.com/https://www.bonappetit.com/story/best-cheesesteaks-philadelphiahttps://www.alishainthe.biz/https://twitter.com/margaretebyhttps://powerdining.substack.com/

Kyle V. Hiller and Katie Antonsson are doing NaNoWriMo this year. But they aren't just doing any random project. They're revisiting their high school novels and rewriting them for National Novel Writing Month in 2018. Kyle and Katie kick things off with talk about NaNoWriMo, offering insight to the experience as Kyle is a rookie and Katie is a NaNo veteran. Then, they enter a discussion around the importance of our early works as writers, how the industry has influenced us as adult writers, and how to get back to the pure, reckless abandon of writing in our youth. Tune in every other Tuesday for new episodes, and follow Casual Misfit on Twitter @wecasualmisfits and online at wecasualmisfits.com.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is in talks for a contemporary reboot. The classic show, now off the air for about 15 years, has still been going strong with its comic series. But what message would the new Buffy have to accomplish in order to have impact? Have we gone too far with reboots? What is the target audience of reboots? Join writer/author Kyle V. Hiller (THE RECITAL) and writer/book reviewer Michelle Nugent (THE FEMINIST BOOKWORM) as they discuss what they expect from the new Buffy, muse about inclusivity and diversity while putting Joss Whedon in check, and what the show meant for them. There may also be a little indulgence into the Brooklyn 99/Mike Schur Universe, which isn't totally unrelated, we promise.

KHAOS 3: Kingdom Hearts and Interactive Storytelling Episode 3 of Kingdom Hearts and Other Stuff is here! Well technically it's been recorded since late March, but now it's finally time to air it to the world. My guest this time is my friend Kyle V. Hiller (never forget the V!), author the YA novel The Recital, with upcoming projects Lucca from Yesterday and Project Anjou expected in Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 respectively. Kyle is a lapsed Kingdom Hearts fan who's keen to get back into the series, and his topic is the idea of video games being respected as literature. Together we take a look at the convoluted and drawn-out story of the series, and compare it to other drawn-out crossover stories in media like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Also, Kyle does his best to list off all of the various Kingdom Hearts titles in order of story chronology, and he fares pretty well! You can get more information on Kyle's books at his website, www.kylevhiller.com, or follow him on Twitter and Instagram; his username for both is @KyleLiterally.
