Today on The Gist, guest host Bryan Green shares Mike Pesca's interview with writer and composer Andrew Fox, the creator behind the viral satirical musical Slam Frank. Fox breaks down the origins of his controversial parody (which imagines an Anne Frank musical staged through an absurdly over-the-top, intersectional lens) and examines how well-intentioned performative language in modern theater often slips into unintentional comedy. He and Mike discuss the boundaries of comedy, the stifling nature of institutional gatekeeping, and why contemporary art needs to start taking real risks again instead of chasing safe, predictable moral superiority.

Are You Working Blind?You have a process. You have a way of doing things. And, if you can't immediately describe it, you're unconsciously following an invisible process. My point is not that it's right or wrong, but that it is a choice to work blind. Process is personal and if anyone aside from you designs it, it's not going to fit.I'm not here to prescribe process. I am here to share three principles to help you ask yourself better questions, so that your process is consciously bespoke according to your answers.1. Make Something and Finish Something DailyWhen I first started producing, I was lucky enough to ask someone who has made it: “What do I do?” Their response was simple: make a new idea every day.The ever expanding responsibilities of the modern musician make it easy to forget that you started making music because you heard music that inspired you to try. The catalog of other artists inspired you to explore your own musical capacity. Your catalog is the best of your ideas, and you find your best ideas by making a new one each day. The first step to building your catalog is documenting your ideas.The only potential downside to making a new idea every day is that you may never finish anything, which is why I suggest developing a daily habit of finishing. It's not a reasonable expectation to complete a song each day, but you can perform an act to nudge it forward.When implementing this practice, define progress and success expansively. Making music is not easy. Genuine effort counts, even more important if this is something you plan to do indefinitely.2. Define Progress in Time-Bound and Input-Based TermsYou know how much time you have to dedicate to music. If you only have five minutes in a day to make music (for more on this, see frequency), don't make yourself feel bad because you don't write a whole new song that day. Apply genuine effort to those five minutes to make a new idea. Maybe all you found was a drum loop that you like. Drop it into a track, save the session, and move on. What you started today, you pick up tomorrow. What you have at the end of any particular session is irrelevant. It is about harnessing momentum and linking sessions together over an extended period of time (for more on this, see the marathon method). The individual session is meaningful because of its representation as commitment. You were here today, you will be back tomorrow.3. Decide what you're going to do beforehand.Know what you're going to do before you sit down. This is especially important when you are working with smaller blocks of time. If you only have 10 minutes available, decide ahead of time that you're going to spend it programming drums or writing a chord progression. For inspiration, here's one of my favorite examples of what can be done in 10min.Counter Argument:“The blocks of time and the wins seem too small to be worth the attention.”I hear that. And this is less about objective progress as much as it is about your mindset and relationship with what work looks like. The difference between unconsciously viewing five available minutes as time to kill versus useful to your creativity represents optimism of what constitutes opportunity. It is acceptance that ideal circumstances don't exist and we therefore seize available moments, not to optimize or squeeze out every last drop, but to express our creativity.Final Thought To Keep In MindWe are not as good at estimating task duration as we think. The only way to improve is experience and observation. As you try this out, it's important not to jump to judgments about something taking longer than it “should.” The goal is not to optimize work, it is to work.ProducerHead is a publication for independent music producers.

Bestselling and award-winning writers Seth Godin (The Practice), Amie McNee (We Need Your Art), Mason Currey (Daily Rituals) and Bec Evans & Chris Smith (Written) on choosing yourself before anyone else does, protecting the hour you actually have, and why the writing rules you were handed were the rules that worked for someone else.   You'll learn Why "grow a thicker skin" is the wrong advice for a writer facing rejection. What shifts when you notice the harshest rejection you face each day is your own. The case for lowering your standards if your ambitions are big. How an hour that doesn't look like writing can still be an hour of writing. What the word discipline shares with the word disciple, and why it changes how a project turns out. A quiet argument for half an hour a day over the perfect routine you can't sustain. Three questions worth asking at the end of every writing session. Why the writing rule that failed you was probably never yours to begin with. When a good outcome hides a bad decision, and what that means for your practice. The difference between talent and skill, and why only one of them applies to writing.

2026 NDYM Move The Mission Kickoff Rally | Rev. Mark Brown | April 18, 2026

If you sat down for an hour today and only said 'Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus' or 'Love Love Love'... if you really stayed with it... if you let the sound takeover... if you only heard the sound and not thoughts about the past and the future and the to-do list and what needs prayer etc etc... if all you heard was JESUS JESUS JESUS (and felt LOVE LOVE LOVE)... and didn't give in to the temptation of reaching for that phone or going for a snack... you'd very quickly realize that you aren't the one chanting/calling/praying. You are aware of the one that is chanting 'Jesus'. You stand apart. You will realize you are that lamp set on a stand. You are Light aware of all that ruckus lol.When that body is chanting, it has taken off. It's no longer a part of the old story, the old scene... the re-run. It broke character. You broke with its character, and it broke character lol. It's off script, and now a new one is being rushed in. This isn't practice. It's a play. And you left the stage. And it's about to get GoOD. The fields are... gold.xxp.s. the less of 'you' there is, the more 'practice' seems to happen, the more tongues seem to happen, the more all of it continues without the one who was doing it transactionally.

In this reflective, funny episode, Lewis and Gemma reunite in the same room, fresh from a Royal Forestry Society award and a whirlwind visit to Westonbirt Arboretum. Using the provocatively titled book *We Need Your Art: Stop ***ing Around and Make Something as a springboard, they unpack how Western culture sidelines creativity, why Forest School's process-first ethos matters, and how to plan for failure with kinder self-talk. Expect talk of “shitty art” challenges, class and permission to fail, celebrating small milestones without slipping into praise economies, acorn milk experiments, squirrel mysteries, and the radical power of modelling silliness so children feel safe to try, tinker, and try again.TENTSILE — Tree tents that transform tricky ground into magical campouts.

The writer-composer behind the viral Slam Frank (an Anne Frank musical staged as if by the most social-justice-forward regional theater) explains why he pushes rules to their reductio ad absurdum and why “art should lift up the people who are beneath me.” Fox walks through a contentious table read, a Change.org backlash, and the joy/rage of crafting Hamilton-esque bangers like “The Day My Daddy Puts Us Into Hiding.” He argues the show's point is to expose how prescribed language and forced diversity can dehumanize artists and audiences alike. Also: a Gist etymology on “jawboning,” from Samson's weapon to Galbraith's 1960s coinage and today's First Amendment fights.

What does the government mean when it commits to developing a “10-times more lethal” army? Why was the much-missed Sycamore Gap tree said to be worth a strikingly exact £622,191? Are there really twice as many people teaching Yoga as there are in the fishing industry? Is the number of workers per pensioner really falling from 4 to 3 to 2? And what did Donald Trump mean when he said the price of eggs had fallen by 400%?Tim Harford investigates some of the numbers in the news. If you want us to look at a number you think looks a bit suspicious, email the team - moreorless@bbc.co.ukPlease note an earlier edition of the programme incorrectly stated that the new EU-UK fishing agreement would last 4 years. The agreement length is 12 years. More or Less is produced in partnership with the Open University.

"The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel." Jeremiah 18:1-6
