Stephen Cole is back on StoryBeat for the second time. An award-winning writer of musical theatre, non-fiction books, short stories, and novels, Stephen's work has been recorded, published, and produced worldwide, from New York City to London to the Middle East and Australia. With Matthew Ward he wrote the musicals After The Fair, Merlin's Apprentice, Rock Odyssey, and Casper (which originally starred Chita Rivera), The Night of the Hunter and Saturday Night at Grossinger's (with music by Claibe Richardson), and Dodsworth and Time After Time (with music by Jeff Saver), which has recently been revived at the Children's Theatre of Cincinnati.  In 2005 Stephen and composer David Krane were commissioned to write the first American musical to premiere in the Middle East. The result was Aspire, which was produced in Qatar. Their hilarious cross-cultural experiences resulted in another show titled The Road To Qatar! which has been produced in Dallas, New York and the Edinburgh International Festival (where it was nominated for Best Musical).  His most recent musical, Goin' Hollywood, was produced in 2023 to rave reviews and sold-out audiences in Dallas.Stephen has written continuity, narration, and special material for fifteen different Drama League Shows including all-star tributes to Kander and Ebb, Liza Minnelli, Chita Rivera, Liz Smith, Peter Stone, Angela Lansbury, Patti LuPone, Kristin Chenoweth, Audra McDonald and Neil Patrick Harris.  As an author, Stephen has published That Book About That Girl, I Could Have Sung All Night: the Marni Nixon story (which is currently in development as a feature film), Noel Coward: A Bio Bilbliography, and the Charles Strouse memoir Put On a Happy Face. A prolific short story writer, Stephen's first novel Mary & Ethel…and Mikey Who? was published in January 2024.  I've read Mary & Ethel…and Mikey Who? It's what's you call a real hoot, especially for lovers of old broads on old Broadway. It's the most entertaining time-slipping story I've read since Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five.Stephen is a recipient of a Gilman-Gonzales Falla Commendation for musical theatre as well as the prestigious Edward Kleban Award.  www.stephencolewriter.orghttps://www.facebook.com/steve.cole.5076798 https://www.instagram.com/stephencolewrit

The first episode of In Hot Water: Texas takes us to the Shrimporee—a festival in Aransas Pass, the self-proclaimed “Shrimp Capital of Texas”!  But the shrimp fishery has been in decline for many years due to a variety of reasons: the influx of imported shrimp, extreme weather, habitat degradation, along with the high cost of doing business.  Finally, there are labor issues, which are not unique to the shrimp fishery and are experienced throughout the entire U.S. fishing sector—especially a declining interest in the industry among younger generations. There's no quick-fix for seafood harvesters in the Gulf, but climate solutions do exist. From encouraging species diversification to actively involving frontline communities, there are changemakers leading a new path for seafood in Texas.  Produced by Seafood and Gender Equality (SAGE) and Seaworthy, the “In Hot Water” podcast explores SEAFOOD and CLIMATE JUSTICE in distinct regions. Episode Transcript Episode Guide :00 Intro 00:49 The birth of In Hot Water, a Climate and Seafood Podcast 03:34 Roland Rodriguez, from the Aransas Pass Chamber of Commerce, walks us through the history of the self-proclaimed “Shrimp Capital of Texas” and its 75 year old festival celebrating all things shrimp, the Shrimporee! 08:11 Crystal Sanders-Alvarado breaks down the decline of the Gulf of Mexico's shrimp fishery as it relates to climate change. Despite a popular yet unfounded belief, Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) are not the sole reason. 13:16 Regina Garcia Peña, owner and CEO of Philly Seafood and a second generation shrimp producer, shares the challenges facing the Gulf's shrimp industry  23:09 Regina reflects on her life as a woman in seafood and recounts the incredible story of how her father and mother built the family business 29:11 Liz Smith, formerly of the International Crane Foundation, describes Texas' unique coast and the habitat degradation the area is experiencing 31:24 Suraida Nañez-James, CEO and founder of the Gulf Reach Institute, recounts another challenge in the region's seafood production: the youth aren't interested 33:40 Gail Sutton, director for operations for Palacios Marine Agricultural Research, is providing an alternate career choice for shrimpers: oyster farming 36:31 Addressing food waste—in our case, seafood waste—is a climate solution. Alyssa Lopez of Gulf of Mexico Ike Jime walks us through Ike Jime, a method of dispatching fish that keeps a high quality product fresher for longer 39:32 Ultimately, solutions to the climate crisis must involve the community andbe community-sourced Resources:  Citations:  https://bit.ly/3xhdaCd  https://bit.ly/4cDE8US  https://bit.ly/3VD6ZSZ  https://bit.ly/3TEUrYA  Recommend this series to anyone who is curious about how climate change is affecting our seafood producing regions.      

Turns out the whooping crane can tell you a WHOLE LOT about the health of our waters—including our seafood!  That's why the endangered whooping crane, along with oyster farming and blue crabs, get the spotlight in our 3rd episode of In Hot Water: Texas. With world class experts, we dig deep into wild oyster and reef restoration, oyster mariculture (btw, Texas was the LAST state to legalize it!), and the concept of a “living shoreline.”  Speaking of living, the whooping crane is dependent on blue crabs for survival. Economically, the blue crab is the most important crab species in Texas and is the third most valuable fishery behind oyster and shrimp, having been part of the fishing culture since the 1800s (if not earlier).  So how can all three survive—if not thrive—in the era of the climate crisis? Let's talk about it!  Produced by Seafood and Gender Equality (SAGE) and Seaworthy, the “In Hot Water” podcast explores SEAFOOD and CLIMATE JUSTICE in distinct regions. Episode Transcript Episode Guide :00 Intro 02:18 Oysters—the superfood that does it all! 04:12 Jennifer Pollack of the Harte Research Institute walks us through their oyster recycling program, taking spent oyster shells from restaurants and putting them back into places in dire need of reef restoration 05:42 Oyster are little water treatment plants and their shells are the perfect product 11:16 Do oysters sequester carbon? 14:51 What's a “living shoreline” and what does it mean for wild oyster restoration?  18:28 You can't just put structure in water and expect it to turn into a reef teeming with oysters. As Gail Sutton explains, you have to “think like an oyster.” 26:12 Texas was the LAST state to legalize oyster mariculture 28:44 While wild and farmed oysters face many of the same challenges due to climate change, farmed oysters have some advantages 31:36 The current state of oyster farming in Texas (Hint: it's mission critical.) 35:57 Whooping cranes are another critically important and endangered animal in the region. Liz Smith share the history of their decline over the last century 38:26 How do wind farms affect cranes? 42:44 With ten of the world's 15 crane species facing extinction, Liz walks us through the challenges and the innovations that will meet them to support cranes facing extinction. 50:30 The reliance of whooping cranes on the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus—which means "savory, beautiful swimmer”—has been documented since at least the 1930s. Liz details the importance of the blue crab for cranes and the region, how crabs reproduce, and the actions management agencies are taking to safeguard the species. The blue crab is the third most valuable fishery (behind oyster and shrimp) and has been part of the fishing culture since at least the 1800s!    Resources:  Recommend this series to anyone who is curious about how climate change is affecting our seafood producing regions.

Some are household names... others are a little more behind the scenes. All of them have defied social norms and influenced generations of people to be unapologetically themselves. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.  Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Liz Smith, Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Ale Tejeda, Sara Schleede, and Abbey Delk.
