On this Make A Difference Minute, we're remembering Joe Negri, the beloved musician and actor known to generations of children as Handyman Negri on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. While many remember him as the friendly neighbor who walked through Fred Rogers' television neighborhood, Joe's contributions went far beyond a television role. An accomplished jazz guitarist and educator, he became an important part of one of the most influential children's programs in television history. In this conversation, Joe reflects on how he became part of Fred Rogers' world, the relationships he built with the Neighborhood of Make-Believe characters, and even the playful skepticism of his immigrant father, who never quite understood how Joe could carry on conversations with puppets so naturally. Joe Negri passed away just days before his 100th birthday, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of music, kindness, creativity, and service. For countless children and families, he will always be remembered as a trusted friend who helped make the neighborhood feel a little warmer and more welcoming. This Make A Difference Minute is dedicated to Joe Negri and the joy he brought to generations. This MADM is brought to you by Athens Bible School, proudly supporting stories and the people who make our communities strong. Real stories. Real people. Real impact. News That Unites!™️

On this episode of The Writing Life Podcast, Hannah Murray shares the experience of writing her debut book, a memoir called The Make Believe: A memoir of magic and madness. Hannah worked as an actor for over a decade, starring in E4's Skins and HBO's Game of Thrones. She studied English at Cambridge University and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. The Make Believe is a deeply intimate and honest memoir about acting, fame, mental illness and the struggle to leave a cult-like organisation whose belief in magic shattered Hannah's reality. Hannah met up with Steph just a few days before her book's release to discuss her fascinating journey from acting into creative writing. together they dive into the unique structure and focus of her memoir, the creative challenges of portraying a fractured reality in a way that feels logical for the reader, and how the process of revisiting and reshaping difficult memories into a narrative ultimately helped her reclaim her personal story.

Game of Thrones actor, Hannah Murray, joins Brendan to discuss her memoir The Make Believe, which recounts her experience becoming involved in a wellness community that led to her believing she was the saviour of the planet. She reflects on the search for belonging, and how she eventually found her way out.

The US government continues dragging out terms of settlement with Iran, Israel continues invading, occupying and ethnically cleansing southern Lebanon and Gaza, and the Trump White House continues playing 'MAGA Greatest Hits' to its base. Their detachment from reality is becoming more palpable - and unsustainable, surely? - by the day... Running Time: 01:40:15 Download: MP3 — 138 MB

Writing is hard. So is writing about writing. And, sometimes, reading about writing. But today, we have two books that attempt to break down the literary creative process into manageable pieces. Three Six Five is author Lucy Ives' collection of individual writing prompts for each day of the year. She sits down with NPR's Scott Simon to discuss the book, along with why she believes “the best time to write is when you think that you don't want to.” Then, celebrated children's book author Mac Barnett joins NPR's Elissa Nadworny to discuss Make Believe, his meditation for adults about writing books for kids.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Why do some stories work when they play around with the race, gender, or location of a story and its characters, and why are others an annoying mess? It has to do with the basic split between how story adaptations for stage and screen are framed — either the story will be rooted in an immersive realistic setting, where every little detail matters, or it takes place in the Land of Make-Believe, where only the story and the performance matters and an immersive replication of a world and its characters isn’t needed. Too easily the people on both sides of this debate resort to name-calling, focusing on things that don’t matter like debates over race, when what this is really about is whether or not the adaptation makes overall sense and follows its own rules.

This episode we've got a lot of things on our minds! We open with a preamble that involves a little navel-gazing, which we hope you'll indulge. We know we are not always 100% on point, but that's sort of the point! Trust us that it's germane to the books we've read these past two weeks, including the absolute truth manifesto that Mac Barnett has released (see if you can figure out the sound effect Hannah chose here on first listen). Plus, we've got a few writers who absolutely CRANK, to different effects, including Dave Eggers, who delivers in a huge, huge way with his newest. We love him and this is maybe his best (or just one Sam likes the most? Does "best" ever mean anything different than that?). This fortnight, we read: "Make Believe," by Mac Barnett "Operation Bounce House," by Matt Dinniman "Seek the Traitor's Son," by Veronica Roth "Contrapposto," by Dave Eggers

Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – These three stories may seem unrelated: Hamas war crimes, oil-field regulation, and nuclear energy. They are not. They are the same story told in three different languages. They are about what happens when elite culture stops telling the truth. For years, much of the Western political class has treated reality as a public-relations problem...

Mac Barnett did something he said he never would: he wrote a book for adults. Make Believe is the award-winning children's author's newest book about how kids' books deserve a grown-up conversation. Mac joins guest host Gill Deacon to talk about writing for adults, why children's fiction deserves more respect, and why he has such a problem with didacticism in kids' books.

“If criticism isn't going to be written by one human mind, what else is it for? Criticism done by AI means nothing.” — Bethanne Patrick Is London really falling? Perhaps. This week on Keen On America, everything seems to be falling. There are young men falling from riverside apartments. Girlhood is falling to the commodification of appearance. Book reviewing is falling to AI. Mary Todd Lincoln fell through history as a shrill and inconvenient widow. And just three days ago, Yale historian Ian Shapiro argued that democracy itself has fallen — from the euphoric heights of 1989 to today's nadir of illiberal populism. One person who never falls is our unfailingly literate friend Bethanne Patrick — book critic at the Los Angeles Times, founder of #FridayReads, and the best-read lady in America. And her May list of recommended reads is full of books about falling. Take, for example, the New York Times bestselling London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe — a true crime whodunnit about Zac Brettler, a nineteen-year-old who reinvented himself as the son of a Kazakh oligarch and fell to his death from a Thames-side luxury apartment. Then there's Girls by Freya India on Gen Z and the commodification of girlhood; Make Believe by Mac Barnett, the Children's Laureate, on storytelling as an art of raising kids; I Am Not a Robot by Joanna Stern on AI as useful tool, not a civilizational menace; and An Inconvenient Widow by Lois Romano which rehabilitates the already fallen Mary Todd Lincoln. And then there's the fall of book reviewing itself. Where have all the critics gone? New York Times book critic Dwight Garner wrote its obituary this week. But Bethanne Patrick hasn't fallen. And, last I checked, London is still standing. Five Takeaways •       London Falling: The Oligarchs Were the Problem: Patrick Radden Keefe's new New York Times bestseller is about Zac Brettler, a nineteen-year-old London boy who reinvented himself as the son of a Kazakh oligarch and fell to his death from a Thames-side luxury apartment. Bethanne's reading: the most interesting element is not the Brettler family's grief — sympathetic as they are — but the portrait of a London transformed by money from overseas. Twenty years ago, the worry was economic immigrants. The people who really changed London were the oligarchs. Andrew is sceptical of the neoliberalism-as-villain thesis. Janan Ganesh: London has always been defined by capitalism. •       Girls: The Commodification of Girlhood:  by Freya India (born 1999) argues that Gen Z girls have always been girls — but technology has made the existing anxieties about appearance, body, and social status thousands of times worse. Face-tuning, influencers, targeted advertising, social media bullying. Bethanne's daughter — summa cum laude in economics — relaxes by watching reality shows about the commodification of female appearance. The book's parallel with London Falling: both are about young people who cannot escape the mirror of other people's wealth and image. •       Make Believe: Art for Children, Not Just Books: Mac Barnett, current Children's Laureate of the Library of Congress, argues in Make Believe that children don't just need books — they need art. Great literature, beauty, truth. The book echoes Robert Coles' The Call of Stories and pushes back against the passive consumption of screens. Bethanne's connection to London Falling: Zac Brettler was a brilliant storyteller. He might have been a writer or filmmaker. But stories have to move you toward caring about other people. They're not just about taking in — they're about give and take. •       I Am Not a Robot: AI as Tool, Not Menace: Joanna Stern, the Wall Street Journal's consumer tech columnist, spent a year using AI for almost everything. The book is a stunt memoir in the tradition of “my year of doing this” — but also genuinely useful. Her verdict: AI is a tool. It's not good or bad. She wrote every sentence herself but used AI for spell-checking, research, and editing. Meanwhile: the Authors Guild raised close to $900,000 at their annual gala, with David Baldacci giving an impassioned speech about AI and intellectual property. The Chicago Tribune published AI-generated summer reading recommendations that included a Louise Erdrich novel she never wrote. •       Where Have All the Book Reviewers Gone? A Dwight Garner piece in the New York Times cites a 1981 Donald Barthelme story predicting machines doing reviews. Now it's happening: the New York Times recently discovered a freelance reviewer had been using AI for several reviews. Google Gemini now summarises reviews before you see them. Bethanne Patrick, book critic at the Los Angeles Times, is one of a tiny handful of full-time book critics left. Her verdict: criticism done by a non-human entity misses the point. The point of criticism is judgment. Judgment requires a human mind. About the Guest Bethanne Patrick is a book critic at the Los Angeles Times, founder of #FridayReads, host of the Missing Pages podcast, and the author of Life B: Overcoming Double Depression (Counterpoint, 2023). She is also known as @TheBookMaven on social media. Books Discussed: •       London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth by Patrick Radden Keefe (Doubleday, April 7, 2026). •       Girls by Freya India (2026). •       Make Believe by Mac Barnett (2026). •       I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do Almost Everything by Joanna Stern (2026). •       An Inconvenient Widow: The Torment, Trial, and Triumph of Mary Todd Lincoln by Lois Romano (Simon & Schuster, 2026). About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-Ame...

Hosts: Brett Ford | Scott Chu This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett dive into the landscape of hitters across MLB – some of which have been great and some not so much. It's awesome to see guys like CJ Abrams and Andy Pages off to such a hot start but how sustainable  is their success and what should fantasy managers be on the lookout for? And for guys like Francisco Lindor and Nick Kurtz who have been dreadful to open the season, what level of concern should fantasy managers have in regard to their lack of success so far? The crew takes a look under the hood to figure out what performances are real and which ones are fluky make-believe numbers that won't stick around. The answers to these questions and much more are all here for you on this episode of Hacks & Jacks.

In this episode of Words on a Wire, host Will Rose sits down with author Lauren D. Woods to discuss her debut short story collection, The Great Grown-Up Game of Make-Believe—a book that moves fluidly between realism and the surreal, blending sharp emotional insight with inventive, often unexpected forms.Woods talks about the long and winding path to publishing her first collection, including stories that span decades of her life as a writer—from early work written in college to more recent pieces shaped through years of revision. She reflects on learning to trust her instincts, the discipline of writing in small windows of time, and how balancing a demanding career outside of writing has influenced both her process and her voice.The conversation also explores the unique possibilities of short fiction—why it can be such a powerful form for capturing intense, fleeting moments—and how Woods approaches everything from flash pieces to longer, more layered stories. Along the way, she discusses the role of imagination in her work, her blend of the familiar and the strange, and the writers who have shaped her along the way.

Send us Fan Mail We dig into how unstructured play helps children build emotional regulation and resilience through big body movement, rhythm, and real-world problem solving. From negotiating what to do when you're bored to recovering after a fall or a failed climb, free play gives kids a safe place to feel frustration, try again, and discover what actually helps their bodies settle.We also talk honestly about why many parents feel trapped by modern safety pressures. When every rare nightmare story goes viral and we live in a highly litigious culture, it's easy to overcorrect into constant hovering. We explore that trade-off and why “no risk” can backfire by leaving kids less competent and more anxious. Along the way, we share practical boundaries that keep play genuinely independent: clear physical limits, behavior rules that prevent harm, and the kind of supervision that stays present without taking over.Screens raise the stakes, so we get concrete about what to do when a kid says “I'm bored” and reaches for a phone. We discuss screen time limits, creating a realistic screen-free time plan, replacing screens with better options, and the importance of parents modeling the same habits. We wrap with ways neighborhoods, schools, and churches can build more opportunities for group free play with safe spaces and caring adults nearby.

In this episode of Deep Drinks, I sit down with Professor Neil Van Leeuwen, author of Religion as Make-Believe, to unpack one of the most fascinating ideas I've come across in the psychology and philosophy of religion. We explore the difference between factual belief and religious credence, why some beliefs update with evidence while others seem untouched by it, and why so many conversations between believers, atheists and apologists end up going nowhere.https://posty.social/@deepdrinksMUSIC: @dcuttermusic

Send us Fan MailOn todays episode we talk about what unstructured play really is: kid-led, flexible, sometimes loud, sometimes messy, and quietly essential for healthy development.We connect the dots between free play and the skills families wish kids could “just learn” faster: negotiation, conflict repair, empathy, creativity, and resilience. We also talk about what gets lost when childhood is packed with testing pressure, nonstop activities, and constant screen stimulation. Structured sports and adult-led programs can be great, but they are not the same thing as peer-negotiated play where kids create rules, test limits, and learn what fairness feels like.Then we move through real-world parenting questions: what unstructured play looks like for toddlers, elementary kids, and teenagers (yes, teens still “play,” even if it looks like tinkering, music sharing, and hanging out). We dig into boredom as a feature, not a flaw, and why calm downtime helps the brain organize learning. If you've ever felt tempted to fix boredom instantly, this conversation gives you a better option that supports brain-based parenting and long-term emotional regulation.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

Sometimes, bank treasurers might feel like they're living in a make-believe world. It's really tough to stay focused when they're worried about things like a war in Iran, economic uncertainty, political instability, Fed uncertainty, and big changes like moving to instant payments, rapid industry consolidation, and new, empowered fintech competitors, NDFIs, and AI—all at the same time. They also need to adjust to a new tone with their bank supervisors. This month's newsletter podcast talks about these challenges and how bank treasurers are navigating through all these rapid changes and 10X volatility.Subscribe to The Bank Treasury Newsletter and Podcast at thebanktreasurynewsletter.com for professional Insights and commentary on bank treasury issues, investment portfolio strategy, and more.

Fox News twisted itself into knots to convince its audience that a misguided and poorly planned war in the Middle East was a brilliant idea after its glorious leader promised - no new wars.To accomplish the impossible the network's hosts weaved intricate tapestries of lies filled with invented histories of domestic oil production, gas prices, Trump's previous attacks on Iran, fairy tales of enriched uranium and a revolution that could start at any moment.Less than a year ago Fox News celebrated the success of Operation Midnight Hammer a military strike that was supposed to obliterate Iran's ability to create a nuclear weapon.Then with very little warning Trump started a war with Iran under the guise that the regime was about to attack the United States or Israel with the same nuclear weapons he claimed to have wiped off the face of the planet.The zombie nuclear program seems to exist only in Trump's mind and Fox News is happy to dutifully go along with his delusion. It's getting more difficult with each passing day for the network to pull this off.Instead of the usual segments meant to keep Fox viewers terrified of undocumented immigrants, woke blue-haired liberals, transgender folks and urban crime the network has gone headfirst into a fabricated reality based on hunches, feelings and the dreams of a deranged narcissist with imperialist fantasies in the throes of dementia.

California is chasing opportunity right out of the state.Progressive lawmakers are slapping a massive new price tag on the Golden State — one so high it could drive out the businesses, founders, and job creators who built California's economy.California's proposed Wealth Tax Act, better known as the Billionaire Tax, would hit roughly 200 Californians worth more than $1 billion with a one-time 5% tax on worldwide net worth.Even Gavin Newsom has warned that state-level wealth taxes accelerate the California exodus, pushing innovation, investment, and jobs out of the state.Here's why taxing billionaires could end up setting California's own economy on fire.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
