Jane Cholmeley co-founded and opened the feminist Silver Moon Bookshop in London during the Thatcher era to promote the work of female authors. It quickly came to play a vital role in the second-wave feminist movement. Operating in a male-dominated space, the stop was often subject to threats of arson but maintained a safe space for customers, with community activism at its core. The bookshop frequently hosted writers such as Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou and Margaret Attwood. Cholmeley has recorded the cop's 17-year history in her new book ‘A Bookshop of One's Own.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tommy Orange is a Native American author whose debut novel burst onto the literary scene in 2018. The book garnered a Pulitzer Prize nomination, and praise from literary giants such as Colm Toibin and Margaret Attwood. It's called There There, and it chronicles the Native American experience far from the reservation, in the cities that were the final stop in a centuries-long campaign of assimilation and erasure. The story takes place in Oakland, CA, and it's told through the eyes of a large and fascinating bunch of characters. There There has been chosen as the 2023 One Maryland One Book selection, and Orange joins us to discuss it.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

In this episode Ryder discusses how ideas become pervasive. We accept that technology is progress, and the thing we created, now controls us under the guise of being essential or more efficient. And essentialism is at odds with human needs and society. Ryder walks through how online surveillance to enhance products also captured 'exhaust data' which tracked users behavior. Eventually google figured out how to capitalize on this data, turning it into a revenue stream, but at the cost of user security and consent. While many people claim not to care, Ryder maps out a few examples of how this path is leading to negative results and manipulation by Facebook, Tinder, Pokemon Go, and Walmart. He also discusses the tech and techniques developed and pioneered online being used by China to control citizens through social credit scores and facial recognition for tracking and abusing ethnic minorities. The Will to DIY website has references and sources: https://thewilltodiy.com/step-15-surveillance-capitalism/2:18 Technology as the new religion: removing human agency for the sake of "progress"5:00 Your tears were lost, but now they are found.

I’m Jim McKeown , welcome to Likely Stories, a weekly review of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and biographies. Aside from Margaret Attwood, I rarely encounter novels from Canada. However, when Death and the Seaside by Alison Moore grabbed my attention, I was intrigued. Then I began the novel, and my intrigue meter went off the charts. Her first novel was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. And her short fiction has been included in Best Short Stories and Best British Horror anthologies and broadcast on BBC Radio. My intrigue meter went up another notch.

2:01 - We're drinking Evil Twin Brewing Company's Fire Water - a pale ale brewed with jalapenos. The back of the label reads: Many of us have a passionate love-hate relationship with painfully spicy food and beverage - there is simply something substantial fascinating, thrilling and a little frightening about a burning sensation in your mouth. Scientists are at a loss why humans (and only humans) find such great joy in tasty pain. Perhaps it’s what makes us human - it takes a complicated brain, mixed with weird self-awareness to enjoy events that the body are programmed to treat as a threat but the mind knows better. Test your human skills with this burning beer - mind over body. Fire walk with me.It's the perfect drink for an episode where everyone is playing with fire.7:47 - We talk overall feelings and thoughts on the episode12:13 - The episode starts out with Fred and June sitting by the fire, playing scrabble, drinking scotch. There's a lot happening in this scene. It's reckless but also charming. There's imagery of hell even as June talks about heaven. The writers weave a poem, from Margaret Attwood's Power Politics, into June's monologue - it's 4 lines of masterful writing, and used perfectly in the scene.28:45 - We get a flashback to June and Luke's first meeting. Moira is not only present but initiates the interaction. 38:47 - The flashback ends. June is eating breakfast. Rita is surely. Nick is hovering. And Serena manages to ruin everything with her terrible timing. Serena takes June outside and makes her an offer she can't refuse. 50:02 - With the weight of Serena's proposal lingering over her, June goes shopping and sees that Emily is back. New Ofglen confronts June with a harsh reality, that her life is better than it was before. 1:00:18 - June is having a moment with her writing in the closet when Serena comes to escort her to Nicks apartment. This faux ceremony is juxtaposed with June's first sexual tryst with Luke. The differences are jarring. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/TheRedResistance)

Before venture, David spent time with IDEO helping to create new consumer products and brands. In Today’s Episode You Will Learn: 1.) How David made his way into the world of startups? How a lesson from his grandmother when he was only 7 shaped the type of company David wanted to build? 2.) David has previously said, "as a founder, you have one job". What is that job? How does David think about how raising VC changes outcomes? Why does David think many founders approach fundraising the wrong way? What questions must founders always ask a VC pre-term sheet? How can founders do their work and diligence on the VC? 3.) Why does David try at all costs to not send the deck to the VC ahead of meeting? Why can this be damaging? How can founders say no politely? Does David agree with the conventional wisdom that "founders must always be raising"? What is the optimal way to structure relationship building with investors? 4.) What does David mean when he says, "pick your investors as board members, not investors"? What does David believe makes the truly special board members? What were David's biggest learnings from Michael Dearing @ Harrison Metal when it comes to boards? What does David believe are big red flags in potential future board members? 5.) When validating the idea and the product, how does David think founders should use testing to prove their thesis at every stage of the business? Why, if proved, does this automatically secure your funding for the next round? What do VCs like to see in this testing? How does David think about when is the right time to go and raise big?

Think about talent agents and the first image that comes to mind may be something similar to the character of Ari Gold in the TV show ‘Entourage’; fast-talking, fickle, and more focused on the action toys and awards than the quality of the art. But beyond the caricature, there’s of course far more to this kind of work than meets the eye - and a growing range of talent with important ideas to share with the world. On this episode of Tickets I’m joined by David Lavin, founder and CEO of The Lavin Agency. The agency represents some of the world’s leading intellectual talent; from bestselling authors Salman Rushdie and Margaret Attwood, to Apple founder Steve Wozniak, and Welby Altidor, former creative director of Cirque du Soleil. During this conversation we get into what really makes for a compelling speaker, where there’s space for new ideas in education, balancing risk and reward, and who’s really worth booking for the $10,000 keynote. About David David Lavin is the founder and president of The Lavin Agency—one of North America’s largest intellectual talent agencies. His roster of exclusive keynote speakers includes Margaret Atwood; Salman Rushdie; Nicholas Thompson, the Editor in Chief of Wired; Angie Thomas, the #1 bestselling author of The Hate U Give; and Angela Duckworth, the #1 bestselling author of Grit. And many other interesting people! The Lavin Agency consists of 35 staff, with offices in New York, Toronto, Vancouver, and Boston. It was founded in 1989, in Toronto, after David spent a few years as a successful live events promoter. David was Canada’s youngest chess master. He has lived in Barcelona, London, Paris, Berlin, San Francisco, New York, and Ibiza. His thoughts on the speaking industry have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, New York magazine, The National Post, and Hazlitt, and at the TED conference. Every year, David also hosts the invite-only Brain Candy conference—a gathering of exclusive Lavin speakers, staff, and a few close friends of the agency. https://www.thelavinagency.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tickets/support
