TRADE DISCUSSION DRIVE Creator: Dave Kellett Drive is a space opera that takes place in the year 2401. The strip tells the story of the second Spanish Empire—a galactic empire—and its war with a race called "The Continuum of Makers". The story follows the crew of the Machito, who have been press-ganged into a unique mission by an emperor they despise. As the storyline advances, their mission ripples out in ways neither they nor the Emperor could imagine, to impact the fate of both warring races. https://www.drivecomic.com/ Join the conversation We'd love to hear your thoughts on any of this week's topics.

What if memories were real entities that inhabit places, and what if music could give those places a voice?In this episode of Makers & Mystics, Stephen Roach sits down with composer Michael Anderson to explore the strange and beautiful relationship between memory, time, place, music, and faith.Michael's latest work, Hallov, is a 24-piece musical journey through birth, pain, joy, death, and what might come after. Described by Michael as “a movie score without the movie,” the album follows a protagonist through a series of imagined spaces while a mysterious “Spirit of Time” moves alongside him.For Michael, those spaces are more than settings. They are repositories of memory. An old church, a car ride, a hallway, a family dinner- places can hold the people we loved, the moments we experienced, and even the versions of ourselves we have left behind.Together, Stephen and Michael explore how music can give those memories a voice and how recurring melodies can function almost like memories themselves, returning throughout the album in different forms as the story unfolds.The conversation moves from Michael's childhood fascination with spaces to the autobiographical memories woven throughout Hallov, including a Wednesday night dinner with his grandparents, leaving Florida for a new chapter of life, and the haunting experience of imagining one's own death.Along the way, they explore the spiritual questions underneath the music: What happens to our memories when we enter eternity? Does the hope of new creation mean that our painful experiences are erased, or might they somehow be gathered into wholeness? And what might it mean to believe that even our tears and suffering have a place in the story God is making new?At the heart of the conversation is a deeper question: What if memory is not simply something we carry from the past, but a place where we encounter the mystery of who we have been, who we are becoming, and who we might be in eternity?For artists, Michael offers another important invitation: to resist the temptation to stop creating because someone else has created something greater. The joy of art isn't found in being the best. Sometimes the most important thing we can do is simply finish the work we've begun—and celebrate that it exists.Michael Anderson is a composer who blends classical music with jazz, pop, electronics, and soundscapes. He is drawn to memorable melodies and heartfelt narratives, using music as a way to explore story, memory, and human experience. His latest project, Hallov, brings together his love of cinematic music and storytelling in an immersive 24-piece exploration of time, memory, faith, death, and hope.Connect with Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/musicbymichaelanderson/Send us Fan MailSupport the showCONNECT WITH USWebsite: http://www.makersandmystics.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/makersandmystics Support the show: patreon.com/makersandmystics                                                  Sign Up for Our Newsletter! http://eepurl.com/g49Ks1GET A MAKERS X MYSTICS COFFEE MUG

When the Taiwanese political drama Wave Makers appeared in April 2023, few anticipated its impact beyond the screen. Within weeks, survivors in politics, the media, academia and the arts began sharing experiences of sexual harassment and assault, giving momentum to Taiwan's long-delayed #MeToo movement. XinLing Li's new book, Wave Makers and the Rise of #MeToo in Taiwan: Media, Empathy, and Digital Testimony (Anthem Press, 2026), asks how a fictional series became a cultural catalyst. Li argues that the drama gave form to experiences that had remained unspoken, while social media allowed personal testimony to circulate without institutional permission. The book is part of the new short-book series, ‘Anthem Impact in Asian Media, Cinema and Communications'. In this podcast, Dr Ming-yeh T. Rawnsley talks with Dr Li about television, empathy, digital testimony, and the opportunities and inequalities within Taiwan's #MeToo movement. Themes include: Why Taiwan's #MeToo movement came late - the gap between progressive laws and the cultural conditions that still discourage survivors from speaking.The ‘perfect victim' - how Wave Makers challenges the assumption that only women who conform to conventional ideas of femininity deserve belief and justice.The feminist snap - why the line ‘Let's not just let it go this time' gave viewers a language for recognising accumulated injustice.Empathy and narrative identity - how fictional characters help audiences interpret their own experiences and respond to others.Digital testimony and affective publics - how social media weakens traditional gatekeeping while introducing new risks and struggles for attention.Women's solidarity - how the drama examines agency, family relationships and the historical expectation that women define themselves through men.The limits of visibility - why migrant domestic workers remain especially vulnerable and often unable to speak without risking their livelihoods or immigration status. One of the book's most compelling arguments is that art can give structure to what Raymond Williams called ‘emergent feelings': experiences without an accepted public language. Through recognisable characters and an accessible story, Wave Makers transformed a familiar instruction to remain silent – ‘just let it go' – into a shared refusal. The podcast also considers how the hashtag changes testimony. Survivors can now address audiences directly, rather than relying entirely on journalists and other institutional gatekeepers. Yet visibility remains uneven. Stories involving celebrities and senior politicians attract attention more readily than those of migrant domestic workers, who may face dismissal, loss of visa status or deportation if they speak publicly. Li is cautious about treating Wave Makers as a formula for political change. No television programme can produce a movement on demand. Popular culture can nevertheless offer language and recognition when audiences are ready to respond. The story of Wave Makers is ultimately about the unpredictable movement between fiction and public life: a drama helped people recognise experiences they had been encouraged to dismiss, while digital platforms allowed the words ‘me too' to become testimony, solidarity and action.Dr Ming-yeh T. Rawnsley is a Research Associate at the Centre of Taiwan Studies, SOAS University of London, and a host for the New Books Network. She is also a co-editor (with Professor Gary Rawnsley) of the short-book series, ‘Anthem Impact in Asian Media, Cinema and Communications'. Dr Xinling Li is an independent scholar based in New York.

What else travels through a family besides names, eye colour and the shape of our jowls? In this solo episode, Agnes goes rummaging through her own family tree looking for something genealogy charts don't record: creativity, perfectionism, wordplay, curiosity, independence and that intriguing family tendency to say, Why not? Along the way: Makers across generations — from furniture and knitting to photography Whether what travels is the craft or the urge to create One family tendency expressed in very different ways Turning perfectionism over to see what's on the other side How words, expressions and humour move through generations The difference between what may be inherited and what is clearly handed down The family traditions we deliberately choose not to continue Agnes's line of “why not women” What family myths might reveal about the qualities we value A different way to explore your own family tree after 60 We may never know whether these patterns are inherited, learned, modelled around the dinner table or simply coincidence. But noticing them raises a much more interesting question: What came through your family to you — and what are you sending forward? Find more than the Boomer Woman's Podcast at Boom! With A Bang!

Who will disciple whom? How can we raise our children to be culture shapers, not conformers?Who is discipling the next generation? Because someone is. And right now, smartphones, social media, and secular culture are shaping our kids for hours every day. How do we raise young Christians who will influence the world toward God's truth, goodness, and beauty, who will disciple the world rather than simply be discipled by it?Brett Kunkle, co-founder and president of MAVEN, joins us to talk about raising the next generation with a strong biblical worldview, young Christians who actually know what they believe and live it out.We talk about Christian parenting, technology and social media, apologetics, why young people are leaving the church, and why discipleship can't stop at a private faith. If Christianity is true, it should shape the way we think about every area of life and culture.How do we prepare the next generation not just to survive a secular culture, but to faithfully influence it?Who is the Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

I'm a writer, but copywriting is a different skill. ;-) Spain (plus trying to find a place to live!) + Eclipse;  Structure and Spark (writing process and book planning) more editing What are you reading? Just finished:  •We Need Your Art (Amie McNee) and The Someday Gardener (Ashly Poston) and Kiss Her Once For Me (Alison Cochran) Creative Act (Rick Rubin)  Fiction: On Fire Island (Jane Rosen)     (Main Topic): "Being Creative When You Don't Think of Yourself as an Artist" with Jane Ward Also, "Bread Baking and Writing Go Together Like Peanut Butter and Jelly"   Jane Ward is the author of Hunger (Forge 2001), The Mosaic Artist (2011), and In The Aftermath (She Writes Press 2021). After graduating from Simmons College, Jane began working almost immediately in the food and hospitality industry, doing everything from planning private events to working as a weekend baker in a neighborhood bakery. Later, she became a contributing writer to an online regional and seasonal food magazine, and a blogger and occasional host of cooking videos for an internet recipe resource affiliated with several regional newspapers. Most recently she has contributed book reviews to Story Circle and Mom Egg Review. She loves to travel and often documents her trips through travel photography. Jane lives in Ipswich, Massachusetts. 1. Let's talk about artists. As an author, do you consider yourself an artist? Yes. The craft of writing is artistry. Paint pictures with words. In what other ways do you consider yourself an artist? Photography helps to process what I see visually.  Cooking is an art form. Look at things in a diff ways and we all have commonalities. Living an aligned author life to me means living from the inside out. Showing up on the outside as who you are on the inside. That your behaviors and actions mirror your internal values and the codes you say you want to live your life by. I don't see being an artist differently. I think we are all artists. And that our art, our self-expression, can be cooking, gardening, painting, singing, or even teaching.  2. For beginning writers, who barely dare to call themselves writers (let alone authors), how would you coax them into accepting the moniker of Artist for themselves? Step up and call yourself an artists. Don't have a body of work yet. Claim your space.  I can be part of this. Confidence that you have intention. 2.5. Why do you think a person wouldn't consider themselves artistic or creative? Where do those stories get started? From our youth we hear, don't rock the boat, stay in line. Don't put yourself out there. Don't speak up too loudly. Be humble. Be grateful. Might never even considered art for self-expression.But assertive isn't a bad word. Stand up for yourself. 3. Why baking bread for you? And how does it marry up with writing so well in your mind (and your life)? Soothing ritual (baking bread). Struggling with a manuscript? Do something with my hands and turn my mind off. Stop the noise in my head. Meditation on waiting. Working with the time you have. Sometimes it takes longer than you think.  (Anthony St.Clair from Learners and Makers said that he was taught that if you were a writer, you also had to do something with your hands. To get into your body and out of your head to balance it out. He chose cooking and baking. ... I remember when in massage school, I had to take an art class of some sort (didn't matter what) to balance out all the intellectual science and book-learning I was doing.) 4. Tell us about your travels and how they've affected your writing life. Walking holidays. Just become a body in time and space. Just moving. Anti - sitting in a chair and churn out stuff from my mind.  Art museums, talk with people who've been there. Understand the different people and cultures.  Informs the writing: interactions between people. Knowing the way other people act makes us more aware of how diff characters would react. Expand your mind with what you don't know.  Not just write about myself. Does the reader come on the journey with me? Is this making sense? Is this furthering what I'm trying to say? (For the editing process) Always start with an idea of what I want to say (that you hope they will take away). 5. Tell us about your latest book. Should Have Told You Sooner. About a woman in her 50s, goes on a journey of reexamining her past and living with the consequences of her actions. 6. What are you most excited about these days? Weighed down these days, but feel lucky I can use my imagination! Author friends get together and lift each other up. Coffee dates, dinners, walks. Janeaward.com sign up for newsletter (recipes, photography, articles); @authorjaneward on IG and Threads. "No Lessons Yet"- a great title for a memoir; Who wants it? :-) 7. What are you reading? The Correspondent (Virginia Evans) While editing, Jane reads mysteries (British police procedurals), like from Ian Rankin, and Elizabeth George.   Valerie's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/valerieihsan  Erick's Linktree link: https://linktr.ee/erickmertzauthor

This week we sat down with Robyn Sebastiani from SVVGA, Tim Zahner from the Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau and Mark Bodenhammer from the Chamber of Commerce to lay out the upcoming Vintage Festival. The Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival is California's oldest wine festival, with roots dating back to 1897 in Sonoma, the birthplace of California winemaking. The festival began when local playwright and Sonoma Union High School principal Ben Weed staged a theatrical pageant called The Vintage Festival at the Gundlach family's Rhinefarm in 1897. The play featured Bacchus, the Greek god of wine, resolving local problems in a festive, Bacchanalian celebration. The 1897 event was deemed “a great success” by the local press. In 1898, Weed returned with another Bacchus-themed drama, set in a natural amphitheater, where Bacchus and his followers helped a young man win a romantic contest. For decades, Sonoma residents celebrated the grape harvest with the Vintage Festival, even during Prohibition (1920–1933), when alcohol was banned. According to a 1927 newspaper account, the festival continued with “dancing, games and feasting” using grape juice. The Great Depression and World War II caused the festival to lapse for several years. The festival was revived in 1947 with a full-scale community celebration: costumed participants, a parade of horse-drawn wagons, and live music from Mexican bands. This marked the start of the modern tradition, organized by local residents, and supported by philanthropic groups. Today, the Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival is held each September in the historic Sonoma Plaza—the largest town square in California and the site of the 1846 Bear Flag Revolt. It blends a free daytime street festival with wine tastings, artisan markets, live music, the sausage toss, and the signature Grape Stomp competition, alongside ticketed harvest dinners and the Grand Tasting at the Sonoma Barracks. The festival is both a celebration of Sonoma's winemaking heritage and a living link to its agricultural and community traditions, drawing generations of Californians to honor the region's “grape bounty, community spirit, and rich history.” {ep 429] We hope you can come join in the festivities. www.sonomavalleywine.com www.sonomavalley.com www.sonomachamber.org www.thewinemakerspodcast.com

This week, Jan Krupp from Krupp Brothers Winery joins the podcast to talk about his new book, Forging Eden, out Oct. 27. The book offers a front-row seat to the evolution of Napa Valley over the past 4 decades and Jan’s thoughts on where the region, and the wine industry as a whole, are headed next. It also tells the remarkable story of how he walked away from a successful medical career to chase an “impossible” dream: turning 750 acres of volcanic rock and barren mountainside into Stagecoach Vineyard. Experts told him the land would never produce world-class grapes. They were wrong. Stagecoach became one of Napa’s most influential vineyards, supplying fruit to Caymus, Duckhorn, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, Spottswoode, Pahlmeyer, Hall, and many others, while Jan and his brother also built Krupp Brothers Winery. Forging Eden is the story of the enormous risks, crazy engineering challenges, and sheer persistence it took to build a vineyard that plenty of people believed could never survive.

Welcome to the Microschool Makers Series, a three-part September series in collaboration with KaiPod to equip aspiring school founders with the inspiration and information needed to launch a successful, sustainable school! Every microschool starts with a clear vision — and the clearest ones sit at the intersection of what a founder is uniquely good at, what their community actually needs, and what can grow into something sustainable.  In this first episode, Kerry McDonald, Director of the Education Entrepreneurship Lab, talks with Amar Kumar, Founder & CEO of KaiPod Learning, and three founders who had different visions for building their schools.  Tom Dowell is the founder and Head of School of Moreana Boys Academy in Gilbert, Arizona, which he launched in 2024. A former public school teacher, Tom created an all-boys model centered on personalized academics, mentorship, hands-on learning, and character development. Gepre Henderson is the founder of BOSS Learning Academy in Douglasville, Georgia, which she opened in 2025. Drawing on more than 14 years of experience in education, she has built a STEM-focused K–5 microschool that emphasizes hands-on learning, student ownership, small groups, and a community that feels like an extension of the family. And Brittany Lopez is the founder of Brighter Futures Microschool in Arlington, Texas that just opened this month! As a certified special education teacher and professional educational therapist, Brittany designed her school specifically for students with learning, language, and social differences, placing targeted and individualized instruction at the heart of the model. Visit KaiPod for more information about this episode—and for resources and tips to start your own microschool!  Tune in next Friday for our second conversation in this series: Building A Sustainable School. *** Check out the Education Entrepreneurship Lab for a steady stream of new articles and original content—by school founders, for school founders.

What if the water coming out of your kitchen faucet contains chemicals specifically engineered not to break down, and the protections designed to remove them are now being rolled back? In this Fatal Conveniences episode, Darin dives into PFAS, the so-called "forever chemicals" used for decades in nonstick cookware, waterproof clothing, food packaging, firefighting foam, and countless everyday products. Their incredibly strong carbon-fluorine bonds make them extraordinarily useful, but also allow them to persist in the environment and human body for years. Darin breaks down the regulatory battle surrounding America's first legally enforceable federal drinking-water standards for several PFAS chemicals. He walks through the original 2024 EPA rule, subsequent efforts to delay or rescind portions of those protections, the court battle surrounding those changes, and why he believes the story represents something much larger than bureaucratic policy. He then traces the history back decades, discussing internal industry documents, early toxicology findings, allegations that companies withheld troubling information, and a 2018 controversy involving a federal PFAS health assessment. For Darin, it's another example of a familiar pattern: dangerous information emerging slowly while the public continues to be exposed. But this episode isn't about becoming afraid of your faucet. It's about understanding the problem so you can take action. Darin's message is simple: don't wait for corporations, regulators, or politicians to protect your health. Understand your exposure, learn what the science says, and take practical steps to protect yourself and your family. What You'll Learn What PFAS "forever chemicals" are and why they persist for so long How PFAS became embedded in everyday products and the environment Why the carbon-fluorine bond makes these chemicals so difficult to break down How PFAS can accumulate in the human body over time What the EPA's original 2024 drinking-water standards attempted to regulate Why parts of those federal PFAS protections became the subject of a regulatory and legal battle How proposed changes could delay compliance and eliminate several PFAS limits What historical internal documents revealed about early industry knowledge of PFAS toxicity Why Darin sees today's regulatory battle as part of a decades-long pattern Why understanding your own exposure and taking action matters regardless of what happens in Washington Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:34 – Sponsor: Bite 00:02:49 – Forever chemicals may already be in your blood 00:03:13 – The federal PFAS drinking-water rule and what happened next 00:03:44 – Why this episode isn't about being afraid of your faucet 00:04:07 – Stop waiting for someone else to protect your health 00:04:30 – PFAS as the ultimate Fatal Convenience 00:05:22 – The nearly unbreakable chemistry behind forever chemicals 00:05:57 – How PFAS entered everyday life 00:06:27 – Why your body struggles to eliminate these chemicals 00:06:57 – How long PFAS can remain in the body 00:07:20 – We built a civilization around a molecule with no exit plan 00:07:46 – PFAS contamination in America's drinking water 00:08:15 – The EPA's historic 2024 drinking-water standards 00:08:48 – How little PFAS it takes to trigger regulatory concern 00:09:56 – The original deadline for water utilities to comply 00:10:54 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:12:49 – The PFAS rollback and what happened behind the scenes 00:13:16 – The attempt to erase standards through the courts 00:13:42 – The Safe Drinking Water Act's anti-backsliding protection 00:14:18 – The court refuses the EPA's request 00:14:49 – The 2026 proposed PFAS rule changes 00:15:33 – Why delaying compliance could affect millions of Americans 00:15:59 – The bigger story behind the PFAS rollback 00:16:35 – What internal DuPont documents revealed 00:17:12 – Toxicity findings, birth defects, and what the public was told 00:17:49 – The historic EPA penalty against DuPont 00:18:24 – The 2018 federal PFAS report controversy 00:19:03 – Why Darin believes the same pattern continues today 00:19:53 – The 60-year history of PFAS exposure 00:20:18 – What are forever chemicals actually doing to your body? 00:20:26 – Cancer risk, immune suppression, and the science coming next 00:20:36 – Can PFAS exposure happen through your shower? 00:20:44 – How to filter your home and protect your family 00:20:50 – Why Darin says we can't wait for government action 00:20:58 – Continue the full PFAS investigation on Patreon 00:21:19 – Take back control of your health Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Manna Vitality: Go to mannavitality.com/ and use code DARIN12 for 12% off your order.

But the answer isn't fear. It's awareness followed by action. We cannot control what a chemical company knew decades ago, what regulators decide tomorrow, or how quickly government moves. We can control what we bring into our homes, what we put into our bodies, how we filter our water, and how seriously we take our own health. Don't wait for someone else to save you. Learn what's happening, find the solutions available to you, and take your health back into your own hands." Bibliography/Sources: The 2024 Rule and the Rollback E&E News / POLITICO. (2026, May).

This episode of Sew & So is a little different. Instead of one conversation, you're getting three!While recording at BERNINA University 2026 in New Orleans, we had the opportunity to sit down with three remarkable women who are each making an impact in very different ways.You'll meet Shelancia Daniel, founder of Creativity Shell, a nonprofit using sewing and other creative trades to build confidence, life skills, and resilience in children—including some of our most vulnerable youth.Then we'll head to Switzerland, at least figuratively, with Sarah Caldwell, who leads international training and product development for BERNINA International. We talk innovation, the changing ways people learn, AI, customer input, and the beautiful new BERNINA Liberty Edition machines.And finally, you'll meet Allison Parker, founder of ricRACK in New Orleans—a nonprofit that's giving fabric a second life while teaching a new generation how to sew, create, repair, and rethink textile waste.Three women.

How do the images we see shape the way we understand ourselves and one another?In this episode of Makers & Mystics, Stephen Roach sits down with art historian and author Elissa Yukiko Weichbrodt to explore her new book, Look Like a Lady: Five Visual Tropes of Womanhood and How to See Ourselves Differently.Drawing from centuries of art history, Elissa identifies five recurring ways women have been depicted and understood: Venus, Vessel, Maiden, Mother, and Monster. These aren't simply artistic categories. They are stories that can quietly shape our expectations about beauty, femininity, motherhood, sexuality, agency, and even holiness.Together, Stephen and Elissa explore how these visual tropes have influenced both popular culture and Christian imagination and consider the alternative stories that can help us see women as whole, particular, embodied people rather than objects, symbols, or stereotypes.The conversation moves from ancient Greek sculpture and Renaissance paintings to Victorian photography, contemporary beauty culture, purity culture, and the ways women are represented within the church.Along the way, Elissa introduces five counter-stories:Witnessing instead of objectifyingBeing instead of becoming an empty vessel for someone else's meaningMoving instead of remaining passive or containedCultivating instead of being reduced to motherhoodPartnering instead of viewing men and women as threats or oppositesAt the heart of the conversation is a deeper question: What might it look like to recover a vision of womanhood rooted not in cultural expectations, but in the particularity, dignity, agency, and belovedness of each person created in the image of God?For artists, this conversation offers an invitation to consider how the images we create participate in forming the imagination of the people who encounter them.And for all of us, it raises an important possibility: perhaps freedom doesn't come from simply rejecting old stories, but from learning to recognize them—and telling truer ones.Elissa Weichbrodt is an art historian, educator, and author. Her new book, Look Like a Lady: Five Visual Tropes of Womanhood and How to See Ourselves Differently, examines the ways visual culture has shaped our understanding of womanhood and offers a more expansive, hopeful vision.Connect with Elissa on Instagram: http://instagram.com/elissabrodtGet the book: https://bakerbookhouse.com/products/9781587436925_look-like-a-ladyListen to our previous conversation with Elissa: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s11-e07-redeeming-vision-with-dr-elissa-yukiko-weichbrodt/id1090123738?i=1000605110237Send us Fan MailSupport the showCONNECT WITH USWebsite: http://www.makersandmystics.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/makersandmystics Support the show: patreon.com/makersandmystics                                                  Sign Up for Our Newsletter! http://eepurl.com/g49Ks1GET A MAKERS X MYSTICS COFFEE MUG

When we think of world makers, we're unlikely to picture a flower. Yet flowers completely transformed our planet, giving us rain forests, altering coastlines, producing the food we eat, and enticing our pre-human ancestors to climb down from the trees. And they did that partially through reshaping the formerly adversarial relationship between plants and insects into one of mutual aid and cooperation most of the time. Biologist David George Haskell enumerates our debt to flowers. (Full-length presentation.)
