To paraphrase the song, a house can be more than a home. Our homes are our shelter, but they also contribute to our identities.  This week on “In Conversation,” we discussed home as a part of our personal identity in ways that can comfort us and challenge us. We also talked about how some of us look at Louisville a little differently since the killing of Breonna Taylor in her home by the Louisville Metro Police Department.  It's part of our month-long focus on home and housing; and we also talked about the new Louisville Magazine issue that focuses on home, produced in collaboration with Louisville Public Media.

She was the first female editor of the University of Louisville's Cardinal Newspaper at age 19, the first female reporter at WAVE Radio during WWII, and the first female Advertising Manager for Louisville Magazine.

Ewing encourages women over 50 to listen to their inner voice  and then do it while learning to say no to others in order to protect your most valuable asset, your time.Ewing is soft-spoken and zoom is touchy, so for best listening - do without headphones.

The read is Sarah’s Pick, Sierra Simone’s Priest, which is an erotic romance in first-person hero POV, featuring a priest and an exotic dancer (NB: She is not Catholic). If sex in church is your concern, maybe skip this one, but also know that there’s a lot fo religious allegory in here that is fascinating and brilliant. Get it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo or your local indie.Show Notes- JR Ward's first pen name was Jessica Bird.- Despite Jen's joke about Proust, she's never actually read him.- Some of the most famous vampire books in fiction were Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire and Queen of the Damned. And let's not forget Twilight.- In romance, you should check out the Argeneau series by Lynsay Sands, or any number of books by Jeaniene Frost. Nalini Singh's Guild Hunters series has a vampire hunter. Sherrilyn Kenyon also has lots of books in this category. In urban fantasy, of course there was the Sookie Stackhouse series, and it's TV adaptation True Blood.- In fact, the 90s were full of vampires in the movies and on TV: Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker's Dracula, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and if you've never seen it, the opening scene from Blade that Jen mentioned.- Sarah would like you to consider the fact that very few people know who Mary Shelley is, but Francis Ford Coppola made a blockbuster movie with Bram Stoker's name in the actual title because patriarchy is a helluva drug.- Is it romance or urban fantasy?- The JR Ward interview was in Louisville Magazine.- The Wicked Wallflowers interviewed JR Ward and it's just terrific.- Jen read all the RITAs, and she reviewed Consumed in the romantic suspense category and Dearest Ivie in the paranormal category.- All about sawed-off shotguns.- Sarah said John Michael, but OF COURSE she meant John Matthew. Maybe you should read Lover John Matthew and Xhex.- Mary Bly's article about the Black Dagger Brotherhood appears in New Approaches to Popular Romance Fiction.- The Lessers as Incels. -Caldwell is like the world of Gotham... and why it seems so nihilistic.-Beth and Wrath's story continues in The King, or as we like to call it here at Fated Mates, Lover Wrath and Beth Part 2.- It's Lover Phury and Cormia, and then Lover Rhevenge and Ehlena, and Lover Quinn and Blay.- The Susan Faludi book Sarah mentioned is called The Terror Dream: Myth and Misogyny in an Insecure America.- We don't think Beth is a Mary Sue, and JR Ward doesn't either. -A guide to the waves of feminism.- A ferrari doesn't weight 2000 tons. A ton is 2000 pounds.- Wellsie is maybe a stand in for Smith vs. Wellesley.- Jen was reading Native Son in college when her professor told her blindness is always a symbol. Oedipus blinded himself, and oracles are seers are often blind. Daredevil is blind and can still kick your ass. The other most famous Blind King Jen could find is in Assassin's Creed.- Next up is Priest by Sierra Simone.

They went to eviction court, spoke with people facing eviction, and with the sheriff's deputies who serve eviction notices. Jake and Anne join us today on Recut.
