We’ll get into everything plus an update about stunning news from the San Diego Housing Commission: It has decided it no longer has the resources to dole out vouchers to specific low-income housing projects.

What's the connection between audiobooks and podcasts? You already know the right tone and voice is essential for building a connection with your listeners. It just makes sense, then, that you can turn to different kinds of audio media for inspiration when looking to further hone your skills behind the mic. Take, for example, audiobooks. Especially in the last year or so, the connection between audiobooks and podcasts has expanded beyond the shared audio medium. Platforms like Spotify are putting a lot of their chips on audiobooks, and podcasters need to start considering this angle more closely from a marketing perspective. Luckily, plenty of the takeaways Mary has gleaned over years of working in the biz of spoken audio apply to both podcast and audiobook narration, and in this episode, she's sharing her tips. Uncover the secrets to speaking more engagingly no matter which spoken audio platform you use: The importance of nailing down your tone and style Why recording an audiobook isn't just “reading your own words” How to make your audio listeners feel as seen as your print audience Why you don't have to read your book word-for-word Links worth mentioning from the episode: Audio Publishers Association Sales and Consumer Data - https://www.audiopub.org/surveys The ACX audio submission requirements - https://help.acx.com/s/article/acx-audio-submission-requirements Audible Audiobooks - https://www.audible.ca/ The Libby App - https://www.overdrive.com/apps/libby Libro.FM for Audiobooks - https://libro.fm/ Connect with Mary!

Brittany and Jeannetta welcome Amelia Louise Herridge Ishak to the podcast to discuss reading as a writer. Amelia comes from London, England and has an MPhil in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic and moved to Aarhus, Denmark hunting for viking myths and monsters. Norse mythology and the rawness of Scandinavian nature inspires her work. She joined the Aarhus Women Write in 2017 and took over the running of it in 2020. The three discuss early childhood reading interests and how that has influenced their writing today, what genres and styles inspire them and the other reasons why they read besides pleasure or craft.  Amelia's piece which is shared on the podcast, "The Hidden Spirit of the Forest" is available in Meet me at 19th St available here: https://archstreetpress.org/2021/11/02/the-hidden-spirit-of-the-forest/.    Questions How much has your childhood reading interests influenced the way you write or the topics you write about?  How much have your reading habits changed since becoming a writer? Do you read more around the genres and styles you write in? Do you write in the style and genres you read in? Is this different to when you were younger/before you became a writer? We often hear how other writers inspire or influence other writers in a positive way, but what are some things that you have read where you have thought "I never want to write like that" and learnt what not to do?  Besides pleasure and improvement of your craft (which are some of the reasons I read) what are some other reasons you read? As a follow up to #1, what are the other ways reading has improved your creative practice besides the writing itself? (related to your question #2)?  References in this Episode Learn more about Aarhus Women Writers here https://www.instagram.com/aarhuswomenwrite?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==  The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin Throne of Glass, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and Crescent City series by Sarah J Maas Jane Austin Elizabeth Gaskill Margaret Atwood Black Beauty by Anna Sewell Goosebumps series by R.

I review the libby app in this episode.  Intro and outro @nikkos Ramone Recorded and edited @mzoundz. When was the last time you were in a bookstore or stepped foot into a library or got drawn into the latest thing to read at the airport? Unless you just have to have the paperback version, there's a way to read or listen to the latest publication for free. Welcome Drea's point of view. I am your hostess Drea and would like to not only thank you for giving me a few minutes of your time, but extend an invitation to follow the show @Drea'spointofview on all socials except Twitter. On Twitter, you can find me @Dreapoint. I came across this app that lets you download books as well as audio books. All you need to do is enter your library card information and it gives you listings of books that you can download and get a sample of. You can put a hold on some books and be notified once it's on your virtual shelf. I wanna say you can keep the book for about two weeks or so. Read at your leisure and save tons of money. And that app is the Libby app, Libby. Of course, if you have a library card, you can just go in a place-- go into the library and take the book out. But then you run into fees. If it's late, go into the actual library instead of having the inconvenience of doing everything on your phone like we do anyway, it won't let you be late. Returning it will send you a reminder when it's due and it'll just go back into the system. It's not a bad deal. For those of you avid book readers, so check out that Libby app the next time you hear about someone who has a book out and so many people have books out now, so check it out. I would love for you to subscribe to my show so that you are not missing any of these episodes that I have for you. I am not trying to change your point of view. I simply hope that you listen to Drea's Point of view.

Suzanne interviews transformational pundit Kute Jackson about the healing power of surrender to help us transform and move forward in life.   Today's show begins with my list of 100 Free and Low Cost Self-Care ideas …in case global inflation is getting the better of you. You can find the complete list on the link below in RESOURCES.   Surrender + Trust = Magic…that's what today's guest, Kute Jackson, says—and he's got a point! I learned this big time after my late daughter Teal's death in 2012. Surrender is so hard, but so helpful. Listen in and get some really great ideas about what makes us happy in life—and now to get there yourself.   I learned this while chatting with Kute: How Kute's mother's death inspired his search for surrender A near-death experience that helped me really get a grip Why ‘Control is the master addiction' How to get out of your own way The role of the ego in keeping us small How to navigate the unknown that comes with surrender How you can get started on your own search for happiness and surrender   I ended this show with a quote from the journal my late daughter Teal left behind, as a great example of that necessary surrender and letting go. May it inspire you…. “So, I chose to go in and meditate, and I got this: ‘Open your heart, open your soul and be.' The whole ‘be' thing really made an impact on me. I realized in life I am never really there. I tend to be thinking about the future or past or something someone said instead of being in the moment and taking it in for all its beauty. After this meditation, I knew I had been transformed because I looked out over the ocean and mountain scene in front of me and started to cry. I was really able to take it all in. I finally realized how blessed I am to be here, and how many beautiful things there are here.” Sent with love,   Suzanne   RESOURCES   AG1— Get a FREE 1 year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase.   Athleticgreens.com/BUSYWOMEN   Suzanne's blog 100 Free or Low Cost Ways to Practice Self-Care   Libby App for free library audiobooks   Kute's book, The Magic of Surrender www.kuteblackson.com   Kute's free 5-day summit, The Surrender Summit   This show's music selection: Calm and Peaceful by LesFM Music promoted by Creative Commons CC BY 3.0   OUR GUEST KUTE BLACKSON is a beloved inspirational speaker and transformational teacher.

“Why not”? These two words have been the genesis for many of this week's guest's achievements. Long time SOFLETE Athlete Tony Nash first started asking himself, “why not?” when he accepted a place at Westpoint. Since then, the momentum has continued to grow exponentially for this Buffalo, NY native. Tony has now served as an Active Duty Field Artillery Officer for 11 years, whilst simultaneously authoring The Night Before Journal, hosting the Got Your Six podcast, graduating with a master's degree at Cornell, and most recently becoming the first person to complete an Ultra Ergathlon!

Orchard House Conversation Series Gwendolyn Brooks Statue in Chicago 57th Street Books American Writers Museum Poet Philip Larkin This Be The Verse They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you. But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another’s throats. Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don’t have any kids yourself.

In this episode, I'm discussing the #ShowUp4YouChallenge that kicks off on Monday, January 15th. This 5-day challenge will motivate you to start taking action in your life and have the support you need to reach your goals. Often times we put too much unnecessary pressure on ourselves and as a result, we feel stressed out. I'm challenging you to do the work this year but I also want you to do what feels good to you and most of all SHOW UP for yourself like never before.   Mentioned on the Podcast: What I love this week: Libby App (download ebooks and audiobooks)    Join the Show Up For You Challenge http://bit.ly/showup4you   Create The Vision: Vision Board Party www.befreeproject.eventbrite.com   Day Break Yoga Self-Care Session Grab your ticket here   Topic/Question to ask on Podcast http://bit.ly/gbfquestions   DONATE TO THE PODCAST befreeproject.com/podcast   EMAIL: hello@befreeproject.com  WEBSITE: www.befreeproject.com  IG:@befreeproject Facebook: www.facebook.com/BeFreeProject
