In this honest and reflective episode of The Stream Panther, actor Joe Daru opens up about one of the biggest auditions of his life— Long Bright River —which happened the very morning of his brother's wedding.He shares what it's like to chase opportunity while juggling real life, and how that audition taught him the value of showing up, even when the timing feels impossible. Joe also offers rare insight into Amanda Seyfried's approach on set, the reality of inconsistent work in the entertainment industry, and why mental resilience is the most powerful tool an actor can have.

“I think income inequality really greatly contributes to the rage that people might feel, even as some Americans won't. What don't recognize that a more communal society might benefit them. What they see instead is, why don't I have what that person has? Something's getting in my way. And it's not a lack of, of community, it's: somebody else is keeping me down, you know? And that's, I think that's a theme that emerges in The God of the Woods.I think there's a certain thread in American history of, like, individualism at all costs. The Van Laars named their house Self-reliance, which is a testament to the idea that they, I think, falsely believe themselves to have, have created their own power, their own capital, their own wealth, and ignore the fact that it's really the labor of the working class community around them- that, and of the people of Albany who've invested their money in the Van Laars Bank - that that really contributed to the acquisition of this enormous wealth that they now have and this enormous power that they now have.”Liz Moore is the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Long Bright River, which was one of Barack Obama's favorite books of the year, and has been made into a Peacock series starring Amanda Seyfried. Set against the opioid crisis and a string of mysterious murders, it's a love story between two very different sisters and their path to recovery.

“ I've lived in Philadelphia for about 16 years. The book itself was inspired by my time spent in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia interviewing a lot of the people that I met there, both longtime residents of the neighborhood and also people who were transient, a lot of people struggling with addiction and a lot of women doing sex work to fund their physical addiction to opioids. You find out about their past, their road into addiction, their aspirations, their fears. I began to lead free writing workshops at an organization named St. Francis Inn, which is a longstanding food service organization in the community. They had a women's day shelter where I taught. I was really able to connect with people within the community on a quite personal level and loved my experiences in Kensington. And I still go, I'm still quite close with a number of the community workers, people who run free healthcare clinics.

Liz Moore adapted the novel with writer/producer/director Nikki Toscano, who joins us on the podcast today. Nikki has brought us unique and thrilling television in her career: Paramount+'s THE OFFER, Amazon's conspiracy drama thriller, HUNTERS, and now Peacock's LONG BRIGHT RIVER. Nikki teamed up with Liz Moore to give readers and viewers a gripping suspense thriller that follows Mickey (Amanda Seyfried), a police officer in a Philadelphia neighborhood hit hard by the opioid epidemic.

It's a quick but full episode this week where we cover, Black Bag, Adolescence, Long Bright River, and Stillwater. Kevin immediately thrust Lauren into the limelight, as the she just finished Black Bag not long before recording. It's sexy(ish) spy thriller(ish) starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett. It's a hair less sexy and exciting than Lauren was expecting, but it was an overall solid film. Next up, Kevin talk about one of his favorite show in recent years, Adolescence on Netflix. It's a fascinating show from a technical standpoint, as every episode is done in a single take. The amount of work that went into just that is staggering! Add to that some amazing performances and a fantastic story, and this show should be very popular come award season. Note that the story is not a mind bender. It won't trick you with plot twists or keep you guessing. It is all about emotion and delivers in spades. Lauren takes over the rest of the show, as Kevin didn't watch much this week. So her next watch is Long Bright River on Peacock. It stars Amanda Seyfried as a police officer with a unique attachment to the impoverished women in her area. The story takes a turn as her sister goes missing, also. Lauren hasn't finished the series and isn't necessarily blown away by it, but she's interested enough to finish, so there's that... The show closes with Lauren taking us back in time to 2021 with the film Stillwater. If you're familiar with the Amanda Knox story, this film will make a lot of sense. A 20-something woman in France is arrested for and convicted of murder. Her father, a blue collar man with a checkered history in Stillwater, Oklahoma, travels to France to be by her side and help with her defense. It's a solid drama and probably Lauren's favorite pick of the week. As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe. We love new viewers! Also, leave us comments and let is know how we are doing and what we can be doing better. Enjoy the episode and have a great week!

Amerika, Ázia, aj Európa. Finančné trhy po celom svete chváti už od minulého týždňa panika, ktorá má za následok prudký pokles. Viaceré indexy stihli klesnúť o 20 percent oproti poslednému trhovému vrcholu, čo znamená že sme dosiahli takzvaný medvedí trh.Dôvodom je Trumpova colná politika, ktorou operuje voči takmer všetkým krajinám sveta, vrátane Európskej únie či Číny.Čo sa to na trhoch vlastne deje, či je to niečo výnimočné, či budú trhy ďalej padať a čo robiť, ak investujem a dnes vidím na účtoch obrovské prepady?Eva Frantová sa v podcaste Dobré ráno pýta ekonomického redaktora magazínu Index a denníka SME Jozefa Tvardzíka.Zdroj zvukov: BBC News, CBS, CNN, Bloomberg, ABC News, YouTube/WIONOdporúčanieDnes odporúčam americkú kriminálnu minisériu Long Bright River založenú na rovnomennej knihe z roku 2020 od Liz Moore. V hlavnej úlohe policajtky sa predstaví Amanda Seyfried, ktorá pátra po svojej drogovo závislej sestre.

This week, I'm sharing my three little epiphanies: The show Long Bright River is a great representation of what it's like to love a family member in active addiction and the different paths we can take in a family. (More on that below) Why I'm so tired of quotes like, "It's your parent's first time living too." I saw this video about growing up in an "ask family" or a "guess family," and it's fascinating. I also answer two caller questions. Caller 1 is estranged from her parents but wants to support her sister who has cancer. Caller 2 still feels really anxious around her family but wants to maintain a connection. This is a great episode about boundaries, difficult choices, and deciding if we can tolerate surface-level relationships.

Lots of things to talk about and review this week. Simon steps onto the culture wars battlefield to see Snow White, Dan pops into new Netflix murder mystery comedy The Residence, Simon presses play on Long Bright River on Stan, and Dan popped into a cinema to see Robert de Niro appear opposite himself in The Alto Knights.
Plenty of debate on TV Gold this week as Andrew Mercado and James Manning discuss: Adolescence (Netflix, 4 episodes) starring Stephen Graham as the father of a 13-year-old accused of murdering a fellow student. Long Bright River (Stan, 8 episodes) starring Amanda Seyfried as a Philadelphia police woman searching for her sister who is missing at the same time as a serial killer is at work in a rough neighbourhood where her sister lived. Running Point (Netflix, 10 episodes) is being called the US Ted Lasso. But one of our critics thinks the comedy about Kate Hudson taking over as the President of fictional basketball team LA Waves is better than that! Andrew also has a few comments about a special new Netflix documentary and two supersoaps that have both been celebrating their 40th anniversaries.

Amanda Seyfried and OT The Real stop by the iHeartRadio studios in Philly to talk about their new show, "Long Bright River". Featuring Philly as a backdrop, it's only right that one of Philly's most notorious artists (OT) are front and center with such a massive star like Amanda in this Philly Police drama. In this convo we discuss all the Philly details of the new show coming to Peacock. Bonus: Amanda and OT give Buster some advice for his oncoming parenthood.
“With an adaptation, you can never give back your first read. So, what are you taking away? What fills your soul? Why do you want to tell this story? And then that becomes sort of the North Star. And I'm tethered more by that North Star than by the actual moves that are happening in the book,” says Long Bright River showrunner, Nikki Toscano, about adapting Liz Moore's best-selling novel for television. Long Bright River is an emotional suspense thriller that follows Mickey (Amanda Seyfried), a police officer in a Philadelphia neighborhood hit hard by the opioid epidemic. As a string of murders unfolds, Mickey must find her missing sister who's also battling addiction before it's too late – but long buried family secrets stand in the way. On the surface, the show is a highly engaging murder-mystery, but beneath the whodunnit is a love story between two sisters. We chat with Toscano about delving into the sisterly dynamic that is both compassionate and toxic at the same time. Toscano shares tools for building an enticing mystery that includes giving your characters secrets to help drive the story. “I think that in the beginning of anything, you have to determine what your character wants and then put a bunch of people or things in that character's way. So that's how secrets are born, right? And that's how you have your audience leaning in. Is the secret going to come out? Who's going to tell the secret? You and I could be having a conversation and I say, ‘Don't tell anybody!' And then the next scene is you being in a situation where do you tell, do you not tell? It's about setting up those kinds of things. I mean, whenever building any kind of show, whether it's an adaptation or not, determine what your character wants and then stick a bunch of people between them and that goal that either complement or compromise your character's journey,” says Toscano. To hear more, listen to the podcast. Long Bright River streams on Peacock March 13.
Nikki Toscano is a showrunner, executive producer, and director. She co-created and runs Peacock's LONG BRIGHT RIVER starring Amanda Seyfried, and was showrunner on Paramount+'s THE OFFER and Amazon's HUNTERS. With an extensive track record, including overall deals at major studios and credits on numerous acclaimed series, Toscano is a proven force in television. LONG BRIGHT RIVER, follows a Philadelphia police officer as she searches for her sister, an addict who has gone missing. In this interview, we talk about her process for developing original characters, the importance of learning how to pitch your work, how her writing changed when she learned how to produce television, her reputation for writing darker material, and much more.

The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. I loved her previous novel Long Bright River which came out a few years ago, and now she's done it again. The wealthy Van Laar family own a summer camp on their property, from which their teenage daughter Barbara disappears - sixteen years after her eight year old brother also went missing. How could one family lose two children in such a way? There are a lot of questions, as years of grief and mystery culminate in the search for her, which also brings them answers from the past. This is a story which gently unfolds and is quietly compelling. Ask Not : The Kennedys and the Women they Destroyed by Maureen Callaghan. The Kennedy men have an aura which has passed down through generations. They're seen as all American good guys but in their wake they've left a litany of misery for the women unfortunate enough to have come into their orbit - and there's a lot of them. This is a true story about how a veneer of respectability has enabled Kennedy men to behave unbelievably badly; and how their wealth, power, connections and sheer ability to lie has seen them protected and absolved time and time again.

After her bestselling thriller Long Bright River, Liz Moore returns with a new mystery. In The God of the Woods, a teenage girl goes missing at the Adirondack summer camp that her parents own. What's even more strange is that her older brother also vanished years ago, and has never been found. Moore joins us to discuss this mystery novel, which Kousha has selected for the Summer Reading Challenge in the category "A book about or set in New York." Click here to join the challenge!This segment is guest-hosted by Kousha Navidar
In this episode of Complicated Conversations we chat with Liz Moore, the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Long Bright River, which was a Good Morning America Book Club pick and one of Barack Obama's favorite books of 2020. Her beautiful and complex new novel, The God Of The Woods, follows a wealthy American family who build an estate in the Adirondack Mountains. Their daughter, Barbara, goes missing from the summer camp they built, and the mystery of her disappearance is intertwined with the disappearance of their son years earlier. We chat with Liz about the ambitious structure of the novel, which is told from multiple perspectives and written in dual timelines; her exploration of the themes of self-reliance, power dynamics, gender, class, and duality in the novel; the use of words with multiple meanings; the interconnectedness of characters and the power of belief; her process of finding the title; and, of course, her very fitting astrological sign.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.

Liz Moore (NYT bestselling author of Long Bright River, The Unseen World, Heft) gets out of her pre-written comfort zone and opens up about her anxiety. Whether you're familiar with her work or not, this episode is a treat. We discuss the self-consciousness of taking up space to talk about one's anxiety, the pressure of expectations, forming our artistic identity through adolescence, parenting, forming identities from creative succeses/failures, perfectionism vs. a deep dedication to the craft, and SO much more. You can find Liz at lizmoore.net, and her books are available everywhere. As mentioned my free social gratitude app is available at landedapp.net. You can also reach me at theanxietylab@gmail.com or on Instagram @sagarbot. Music by Niall Connolly. Also, here's MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/anxiety-lab.

A former editorial assistant and assistant editor at Knopf and Doubleday, Harris has contributed essays and book reviews to Guernica and The Rumpus. The Other Black Girl is currently being adapted into a Hulu series. Liz Moore is the bestselling author of Long Bright River, The Words of Every Song, Heft, and The Unseen World.

A spin on the supernatural thriller, Hidden Pictures follows a nanny who becomes increasingly disturbed by the drawings created by her five-year-old charge.

In conversation with Liz Moore Co-sponsored by Blue Stoop A former reviews editor at Publishers Weekly, Jessamine Chan has published short stories in Tin House and Epoch. She has received residencies and fellowships from various organizations, including the Elizabeth George Foundation, the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and the Ragdale Foundation. In The School for Good Mothers, praised by Carmen Maria Machado as ''a timely and remarkable debut'' novel, Chan tells the story of an otherwise dedicated mother who, due to a single lapse in judgment, finds herself pitted against the government and in danger of losing custody of her child. Liz Moore is the bestselling author of Long Bright River, The Words of Every Song, Heft, and The Unseen World. A creative writing professor in the M.F.A. program at Temple University, her fiction and nonfiction have appeared in Tin House and The New York Times, among other places. (recorded 1/27/2022)

If you didn't already know what a guncle is, the character of Patrick in Steven Rowley's “The Guncle” is here to help. As the Palm Springs dwelling, mimosa loving, sitcom celebrity gay uncle to Maisie and Grant, Patrick opens his heart and his home to the kids in a time of crisis. Olivia talks with the author of “Lily and the Octopus” and “The Editor” about this heartfelt and humorous novel of grief, growth, and finding the people you need right at the right time. Margaret shares some favorite novels that uniquely touch on grief: “Sing, Unburied, Sing” by Jesmyn Ward, “The Weekend Wedding Assistant” by Rachel Gladstone, and “Long Bright River” by Liz Moore.
Alaxandra introduces listeners to two current favourite suspense reads: Long Bright River by Liz Moore and The Child Finder by Rene Denfeld. These two books will keep you guessing the whole way through!
In this mini-episode, we discuss the Final Four in our 2021 March Madness Tournament: Sing, Unburied, Sing vs Long Bright River and In The Dream House vs There There. Support this podcast

I am already predicting Long Bright River to be in my top 5 of favourite books for 2020! Long Bright River is brutally honest about the grittiness around dysfunctional families, the opioid epidemic, and sex work. Liz Moore's writing is intense and so real. I had a two day book hangover after finishing this book and I cannot wait for the movie being produced by Amy Pascal and Neal H. Moritz! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support
Liz Moore is the NY Times bestselling author of Long Bright River, a novel ten years in the making that started with short stories, non-fiction sketches and community work in the neighbourhood where the story is set. All that due diligence led to one of the most acclaimed books of the year. Liz tells us how she crafts each of her books, and the Two Marks debate the pros and cons of the slow novel approach.

Long Bright River by Liz Moore. Has been on all the “most awaited books of 2020 lists” and was well worth the wait. Set in a suburb of Philadelphia which has been overrun with the opioid crisis and concerns two sisters, who lost both their parents to the drugs. One of the sisters Mickey. Is a cop on the beat and every time she's called to an incident or comes upon a victim she's terrified it will be her sister Kasey who has succumbed to the addiction. A number of these girls on the streets are being done in and as Mickey tried to find out what's going on she has an increasing suspicion that corrupt cops might be involved. Really really well written.Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano. A novel about a 12 year old boy, Edward, and his family who board a flight in Newark for a new life in California and the plane goes down over Colorado. Edward is the only survivor, and although that could sound maudlin it's actually a story of communities and hope. You get the background of a lot of the other passengers, many of whom have surviving relatives who write letters to Edward as he was the last person to see their loves one alive, and Edward becomes a national celebrity while his uncle and aunt are trying to shield him from it all and help build a new life. It's really well crafted, very moving and despite the subject – or perhaps because of it - is well worth the read.
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is our old friend Liz Moore whose fourth novel Long Bright River published by Riverhead is just arriving on our shelves and I should tell you that Liz will be appearing at The Hilton Garden Inn on January 9th at 7PM. The Hilton is right here in Exton, 720 Eagleview Blvd East (although I don’t know why they call it East, just confusing and a typical township move), just fifteen minutes from West Chester and just past the Downingtown interchange of the turnpike, across from Eagleview and my bookstore. In fact we have two hotel buses that can take you from the hotel to the bookshop either before or after the event. Liz knows how to get here since she has been here many times for signings and her writing workshops. You can go to Eventbrite or our website to get tickets. Anyway as many of you know, this is Liz’ fourth novel (in 12 years). The first was The Words Of Every Song, Next came Heft, an amazing book that Liz wrote out of left field. I had never read anything like it. That was our first interview. She came and signed then and then set up her Palumbo fiction writing workshop here and at other local bookshops. And she still is. But not here! Her next novel was The Unseen World and we visited again with Liz after that and also a second interview. I know I’m kind of bragging here but it has been such a pleasure to get to know her and her family and her work. Liz’ work has also appeared in Tin House (sadly no longer with us) the NYT and she is the winner of many prestigious prizes and awards. Liz teaches at Temple. So—-Long Bright River is another one of Liz’ shapeshifting, genre busting novels. This one a psychological thriller, with cops, murderers, dysfunctional families and anguished accounts of tragic opioid abuse, much of it enumerated in the book’s beginning and end. I’ll leave it there. The difference as in all of Liz’ books is that there is something here, something that I have a hard time articulating for all of her books, that is different. Can’t put my finger on it but it kind of changes everything and I can’t say why.
