Sometimes, you love books enough that you've just got to "download" all the thoughts about them. Well, I've been promising to give my take on Stephanie Landsem's 1930s novels and today is the day. So get comfy and listen in for a spoiler-filled gush about In a Far-Off Land and Code Name Edelweiss.   Note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. Why Did I Love These Two 1930s Novels Set in Hollywood? I interviewed Stephanie Landsem last summer about In a Far-Off Land HERE. In a Far-Off Land by Stephanie Landsem It's 1931 in Hollywood, and Minerva Sinclaire is on the run for a murder she didn't commit. As the Great Depression hits the Midwest, Minerva Sinclaire runs away to Hollywood, determined to make it big and save the family farm. But beauty and moxie don't pay the bills in Tinseltown, and she's caught in a downward spiral of poverty, desperation, and compromise. Finally, she's about to sign with a major studio and make up for it all. Instead, she wakes up next to a dead film star and is on the run for a murder she didn't commit. Only two unwilling men?Oscar, a Mexican gardener in danger of deportation, and Max, a too-handsome agent battling his own demons?can help Mina escape corrupt police on the take and the studio big shots trying to frame her. But even her quick thinking and grit can't protect her from herself. Alone, penniless, and carrying a shameful secret, Mina faces the consequences of the heartbreaking choices that brought her to ruin . . . and just might bring her back to where she belongs. and Code Name Edelweiss HERE. Code Name Edelweiss by Stephanie Landsem “What I am looking for, what I desperately need, Mrs. Weiss, is a spy.” Adolf Hitler is still a distant rumble on the horizon, but a Jewish spymaster and his courageous spies uncover a storm of Nazi terror in their own backyard. In the summer of 1933, a man named Adolf Hitler is the new and powerful anti-Semitic chancellor of Germany. But in Los Angeles, no-nonsense secretary Liesl Weiss has concerns much closer to home. The Great Depression is tightening its grip and Liesl is the sole supporter of two children, an opinionated mother, and a troubled brother. Leon Lewis is a Jewish lawyer who has watched Adolf Hitler's rise to power and the increase in anti-Semitism in America, with growing alarm. He believes Nazi agents are working to seize control of Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine the world has ever known. The trouble is, authorities scoff at his dire warnings. When Liesl loses her job at MGM, her only choice is to work with Leon Lewis and the mysterious Agent Thirteen to spy on her friends and neighbors in her German American community. What Leon Lewis and his spies find is more chilling and more dangerous than any of them suspected. Code Name Edelweiss is based on a true story, unknown until recent years: How a lone Jewish lawyer and a handful of amateur spies discovered and foiled Adolf Hitler's plan to take over Hollywood.

In episode 11 of our Author Spotlight series, founder and editor of History Through Fiction, Colin Mustful, chats with Stephanie Landsem, author of the novel Code Name Edelweiss. During the interview, Landsem talks about the rise of facism in the 1930s, the life and heroism of Leon Lewis, and the way she defines success as an author. Don't miss it!

I fell in love with Stephanie Landsem's writing after we chatted about (and then I read) her novel, In a Far-Off Land, but during that interview, she gave us a glimpse of her next release, Code Name Edelweiss, and whooeee! I knew it would be a great book. What I didn't know was how important it would be to today's reader. In her upcoming release, we get a hard look back at the horrors of the past and see how they are still playing out in similar ways today.   Note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. 3 Reasons This Could Be the Most Important Novel You'll Read All Year I don't say that lightly. I'm fully convinced that no book can kick this one off the "most important to read" list for 2023 for multiple reasons, but the three most important are ones we discussed in this interview. Code Name Edelweiss looks at what happens when people look to their own interests to the detriment of others'. Landsem manages to illustrate modern parallels without pounding you over the head with them. If we don't see what is happening today in light of what has happened in the past, well... as the old saying goes, history becomes doomed to repeat itself. We all know hatred is wrong, but Code Name Edelweiss shows how the little things build up and create it when we weren't looking. There are so many other lessons, but man... the story itself is brilliant as it is. Seeing Leon Lewis in action instead of in an article on a website really brought the past to life. The police corruption, the isolationist ideologies (and how on earth did that even work???), the propaganda, and the diabolical grooming of boys who just needed strong role models. The current parallels shook me as I read the book. Code Name Edelweiss by Stephanie Landsem “What I am looking for?what I desperately need, Mrs. Weiss?is a spy.” Adolf Hitler is still a distant rumble on the horizon, but a Jewish spymaster and his courageous spies uncover a storm of Nazi terror in their own backyard.

In the wake of the sedition trial's collapse, Justice Department prosecutor John Rogge travels overseas and uncovers a bombshell. He finds evidence of a coordinated effort to subvert American democracy… as well as the names of high-profile Americans involved. Rogge then returns to America... and goes rogue. Risking his career as a prosecutor, he makes public what he's discovered about the fascist threat and the Americans who supported it. And he offers a prescient warning about an American criminal justice system that is ill-equipped to defend democracy from those who seek to destroy it. 

A devastating explosion rips through a munitions plant in a small New Jersey town. And the American public is left with the chilling fact that the federal government had been warned about such an attack almost a year prior. The tip had come from a private spy ring operating in Los Angeles that was intent on doing what law enforcement had largely failed to do. Infiltrate far-right groups plotting violence across the country, and foil their plots before it was too late.

Stanley Tucci tells the story of Leon Lewis who hunted down Nazis on the streets on LA in the 30s and 40s. With its aircraft factories and shipyards, California consumed ten per cent of the US war budget. That made it a prime target for Nazis hoping to disrupt the war effort. Leon Lewis swung into action, infiltrating LA's Nazi groups. Meanwhile, California drew in more people and money than ever before, sowing the seeds of its post-War economic success.

November is also known as Movember - an annual and global movement, where men are encouraged to grow a moustache to raise awareness of men’s health issues. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK - but we rarely talk about it. Prostate cancer is particularly common in the black community. 1 in 4 black men will be diagnosed in their lifetime. And the number of blood, stem cell and organ donations coming from the BAME community is really low. In 2018, 69% of Northern Europeans got the best possible match. That falls to just 20% for black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Luke Williams and Kierran Jarrett have both survived cancer. Luke was diagnosed with Prostate cancer at 49. Kierran has been diagnosed with Leukemia twice - and he’s only 26. They're both now in remission. Suicide is the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 - so let's talk about young men and mental health. Leon Lewis is co-founder of The Man Talk. Nathaniel Cole is a workshop facilitator who focuses on masculinity.

NAZI PUNKS FUDGE OFF!  Listen to our first episode of the new year as we discuss the various homegrown local Nazi groups operating in the city pre-WW2 and the efforts of Leon Lewis and his network of spies to bring them down as they learn the hard way that two wrongs don't make a Reich.  

No American city was more important to the Nazis than Los Angeles, home to Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine in the world. There were Nazi plots to hang prominent Hollywood figures like Charlie Chaplin, gun down Jews in Boyle Heights, and plans to sabotage local military installations. As law enforcement agencies were busy monitoring the Reds instead of Nazis, an attorney named Leon Lewis and his ring of spies entered the picture. Acclaimed historian and USC Professor Steven J. Ross’ new book, Hitler in Los Angeles: How Jews Foiled Nazi Plots Against Hollywood and America, tells this little-known story of Lewis, whose covert operation infiltrated every Nazi and fascist group in the area to disrupt their plans. Ross is joined by the Jewish Journal’s former Editor-in-Chief Rob Eshman, for a fascinating look at how a daring group of individuals banded together to confront the rise of hate.

No more juice for the Main Mommy. Tommy drank something gnarly which made fluids come out of all of his holes - which delayed today's ep. Buns is farting and puking and sweating, but he's still here for you. What if you have no teeth, but you love certain sex acts? You shouldn't hide in shame, you should make songs about it. Leon Lewis knows what we're talkin' bout! Oasis was one of the biggest bands in the world at one point and then it all fell apart. Now, former guitarist Noel Gallagher hates all of the videos they made and so much more about himself and the audio about it is priceless. Plus your Would You Rather's and more!
