Steffen Horstmeier ist Geschäftsführer von Medair. Er hat sich schon früh dafür entschieden, sein Leben mit der Hilfe für andere Menschen zu verbringen - Medair ist für ihn dabei das perfekte Vehikel. Und wenn er über seine Erfahrungen erzählt, dann stockt einem schon mal der Atem: Der Mann hat schon mehrmals um sein Leben gebangt, hat Exekutionen miterleben müssen und ist dabei ein positiver Mensch geblieben, der vor allem eins sieht - das Ziel, Hilfe möglichst effektiv zu organisieren. Dabei ist der Dieter - glaubt ihr nicht, ist aber so - richtig sprachlos und das Kunzilein? Nun, das Kunzilein ist ein bisschen ängstlich. Leute, Augenzeugenberichte waren selten so lebhaft.

Depuis avril 2023, la population soudanaise est prise au piège dans un conflit entre l'armée soudanaise et les Forces de soutien rapide (FSR). Ce conflit meurtrier a plongé la région dans l'une des pires crises humanitaires au monde. Face à cette situation alarmante, la Chaîne du Bonheur lance un appel urgent à la solidarité afin d'intensifier son aide au Soudan et dans la région. La guerre meurtrière qui fait rage au Soudan a provoqué le plus grand déplacement de population interne et l'une des pires crises alimentaires au monde. Plus de 9.2 millions de personnes, dont 4 millions d'enfants, ont dû fuir leur foyer et 18 millions de personnes, soit près de la moitié de la population, sont menacées de famine. Les ONG partenaires de la Chaîne du Bonheur sont présentes dans la région et fournissent une aide humanitaire vitale au Soudan, au Tchad et au Soudan du Sud. Elles assurent notamment l'accès aux soins de santé, à la nourriture, à l'eau potable et à un soutien psychosocial. La Chaîne du Bonheur appelle à la solidarité afin d'intensifier son aide face à la souffrance qu'endurent des milliers de femmes, d'enfants et d'hommes au Soudan et dans les pays voisins où ils ont dû fuir. La population souffre d'un manque cruel de nourriture, d'eau potable et de soins médicaux. Une crise alimentaire menace 40?% de la population, avec un risque de famine imminent. L'accès aux soins de santé est extrêmement précaire, 80?% des hôpitaux ne sont plus fonctionnels. Les enfants en bas âge, les femmes enceintes et allaitantes sont les principales victimes du conflit. Au total, 24,8 millions de personnes ont besoin de toute urgence d'une aide humanitaire. La Chaîne du Bonheur, par l'intermédiaire de ses ONG partenaires suisses Caritas, Medair et Vétérinaires sans frontières, soutient déjà six projets humanitaires pour un montant total de 1,8 million de francs provenant de son fonds d'urgence. Son aide se concentre sur les régions directement impactées par le conflit au Soudan et au Soudan du Sud. Les priorités de l'aide incluent l'accès aux soins médicaux, à la nourriture, à l'eau potable et aux installations sanitaires. La Chaîne du Bonheur se mobilise pour engager la population suisse en faveur des populations affectées par ce conflit et les conséquences dramatiques des violences. Les dons permettront à ses partenaires sur le terrain de fournir une aide d'urgence, notamment en matière de nourriture, d'eau potable, de soins médicaux et d'autres produits de première nécessité. Une intensification de l'aide humanitaire est nécessaire de toute urgence afin d'éviter le pire pour les populations sur place. Si rien n'est fait, des centaines de milliers d'enfants risquent de mourir de faim. Les dons à la Chaîne du Bonheur peuvent être effectués via le site internet www.bonheur.ch ou à n'importe quel guichet postal avec la mention "Crise humanitaire Soudan"

Meet Alex Day, Managing Director of the UK-based charity Big Give, the organisation multiplies generosity through its match funding campaigns. Founded in 2007 by Sir Alec Reed, founder of Reed Recruitment, Big Give has raised over £233 million in its 16-year history. The charity encourages donors to give to causes and charities and runs match funding campaigns throughout the year to make an extraordinary difference to the world's big challenges. Its largest campaign, The Christmas Challenge, raised an impressive £28 million for over 1,000 charities in 2022. Match funding is a concept that is particularly popular with entrepreneurial and business-minded individuals who want to get the biggest bang for their buck. Big Give commissioned research in 2016 that showed as income brackets increase, the propensity to give by a match funding campaign also increases. Alex discusses the power that match giving can have on increasing generosity, however, he is also aware of the possible limitations. Alex and his team at Big Give view matching as a force for good. They are particularly proud of the fact that their campaigns have benefited smaller grass roots charities who do not have the same ability to raise funds. Alex's path to his current role at Big Give was not a straight one. Initially aspiring to be a professional footballer, typical of children his age in the UK, he pursued a degree in business management and geography from Exeter University. After university, he took time to travel and reflect on what he wanted out of life. He realised that he wanted to contribute something positive to the world through his career, which led him to pursue a role in the international development and humanitarian response sector. Alex's interaction with Big Give began during his time at Medair, a Swiss-based NGO where he led the UK office. He experienced the power of match funding first-hand through the organisation's first match funding campaign with Big Give. A donor who would typically give £1,000 every September donated £2,000 in December to maximize the matching offer, even telling his friends and networks about it. Alex joined Big Give in 2015 and he has played an instrumental role in its growth and ensured millions of pounds have been donated to hundreds of great causes. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mark-longbottom2/message
It's hard to imagine the devastation caused by the Turkey-Syria earthquake on February 6: more than 50,000 people killed, hundreds of thousands displaced, and at least $100B in damage to Turkey's infrastructure alone. Medair is one of the NGOs working to provide basic resources including water and shelter in and around Aleppo. Aid worker Raija-Liisa Schmidt-Teigen joins us live from Damascus. But first... 2:08 | It turns out a BC company will not be manufacturing and selling cocaine to the general public after all. Despite what Adastra Holdings announced late last week, Health Canada says the claims are inaccurate. Our fact check turns into a conversation about drug policy in Canada, including decriminalizing "hard" drugs and supporting safe supply. HAVE YOUR SAY: talk@ryanjespersen.com 21:05 | Raija-Liisa Schmidt-Teigen has been doing humanitarian work in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and Syria for more than 15 years. She tells us present-day Syria - "a crisis heaped on top of a crisis" - is the worst she's ever seen.

Poilievre, who called Anderson's views "vile and racist" just a few days ago, is attempting to drag Justin Trudeau's history of blackface back into the chat. Will it work for him politically?

After two devastating earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria, Inside Geneva podcast host Imogen Foulkes looks at the challenges aid agencies face when compassion and humanity run up against the obstacles of geopolitics.In Syria, the disaster comes on top of 12 years of conflict.“My teams ask me, the people ask me, our partners ask me: why is this happening to us? They just came out of a bitter conflict that's been taking place for years,” says Wael Darwish of Caritas Switzerland in Syria.The conflict in Syria is ongoing. How will aid get to everyone in need?“As a humanitarian of course, frustration is part of my work. We always face these situations where people's needs are not necessarily the priority,” says Miren Bengoa of Swiss Solidarity.Humanitarian agencies are rushing to help. Will they be able to do their job?“We stick to being independent, impartial, neutral, but there is a lot of politics involved, unfortunately,” says James McDowell of Medair.Please try out our French Podcast: the Dangerous MillionsGet in touch!

Kampeni ya utoaji wa chanjo dhidi ya ugonjwa wa kipindupindu iliyoanza tarehe 25 mwezi huu huko Kivu Kaskazini nchini jamhuri ya Kidemokraia ya Congo, DRC imekunja jamvi jana Jumanne ya tarehe 30 mwezi hu uwa Januari ambapo shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la afya ulimwenguni WHO lilizindua kampeni hiyo ya chanjo kwa wakimbizi wa ndani katika kambi ya wakimbizi hao ya Kanyaruchinya wilayani nyiragongo katika mji wa Goma jimboni Kivu Kaskazini.Mwandishi wetu wa DRC Byobe Malenga ambaye ameshuhudia uzinduzi huo amesema uliongozwa na Gavana wa jimbo la Kivu Kaskazini Jenerali Ndima Constant, na Mwakilishi wa shirika WHO nchini DRC kwa lengo la kuokoa mamia ya familia hususan za wakimbizi wa ndani ambao tayari makumi kwa makumi wameripotiwa kupata ugonjwa huo na wengine wamefariki dunia.Jean Bruno, ni Mkuu wa Ofisi ya WHO Kivu Kaskazini na anasema ameridhishwa na shauku ya siku ya kwanza na zaidi ya yote amesema,« Tumewalenga watu 364,127 ambao ni wakimbizi wa ndani, pamoja na familia zinazowapokea. Tayari tumepokea dozi 364,150 ambazo zipo na zitatumika. chanjo itafanyika kwa awamu ya dozi moja na tutafanya hivyo kupitia kampeni ya nyumba kwa nyumba kwenye maeneo haya . Tumeridhika na ukweli ni kwamba kumekuwa na dhamira muhimu kwa upande wa serikali kwenye ngazi ya taifa na mkoa, lakini pia tumekuwa na hakikisho kutoka kwa jamii ya watu na wakimbizi wa ndani ambayo imekubali chanjo hiyo ambayo itafanyika kwa wakati».Eneo la Nyiragongo lilipokea idadi kubwa ya watu waliokimbia makazi yao kutokana na mashambulizi yanayofanywa na waaasi wa M23 huku watu 233 elfu waliokimbia makazi yao, zaidi ya 95% yao wamelundikana kwenye makanisa, shule, viwanja vya michezo na maeneo yasio salama kwa afya yao.Gavana wa Kivu Kaskazini, Jenerali Ndima Constant, anakiri kwamba janga la kipindupindu linaathiri sana eneo la Nyiragongo akisema kwamba hadi Jumanne ya Januari 24 wagonjwa 3706 wa kipindupindu walisajiliwa huku kukiwa na vifo 16 na ili kupunguza mlolongo wa maambukizi amewasihi raia kupata chanjo akishukuru WHO kwa msaada wao.« Madhumuni ya kampeni hii ya chanjo ni kulinda idadi ya watu dhidi ya kipindupindu katika jimbo la Kivu Kaskazini na hasa katika maeneo ya watu waliofurushwa ili kupunguza vifo. Mabibi na mabwana, wageni mashuhuri, ili kufunga maoni yangu, ningependa kuwakumbusha kuwa pamoja na chanjo utakayopokea, kufuata hatua za kuzuia maambukizi ni muhimu..”Ametaja njia za kujikunga kuwa ni pamoja na kunawa mikono mara kwa mara kwa maji safi na sabuni au majivu, kunywa maji yaliyotakasishwa tu au yaliyochemshwa. Kupika na kufunika milo yetu, matumizi sahihi ya vyoo huku tukiwa wasafi na kuweka usafi kwenye maeneo yetu ya makazi kila wakati.Waliokimbia makazi yao wanafahamu tishio hilo kwa sababu janga hilo limeathiri zaidi ya 89% ya waliokimbia makazi katika miezi ya hivi karibuni na chanjo inatekelezwa nyumba kwa nyumba.Watu waliohamishwa wanasubiri dozi zao nyumbani. Damaseni Butera ni miongoni mwa watu wa kwanza kupata dozi moja dhidi ya kipindupindu na anashukuru mpango huu wa WHO na anasema, «chanjo ni muhimu sana katika mapambano dhidi ya magonjwa kama kipindupindu, malaria na mengine.Tumejifunza habari kuhusu chanjo hiyo, tumefurahi sana kwa sababu tutakuwa na kinga, asante sana kwa shirika la WHO ambalo lilitufikiria. Asante sana»Kando na hilo, Mweze Shemba, aliyekimbia kutoka kijiji cha Kiwanja, pia alinufaika na chanjo hii. Licha ya njaa,yeye anapendelea kujilinda pamoja na familia yake dhidi ya janga hili akisema, «kilichonifanya nipate chanjo ya leo hapa katika kambi ya wakimbizi ni kwa sababu tunapatwa na magonjwa ya taabu. kama vile kuharana kutapika hasa tunapokunywa maji machafu. Lakini wakati tunapata hii chanjo tunaona kama vile ni kinga kwetu tunashukuru sana »Katika juhudi za kuepusha msongamano wa wagonjwa wa janga hili , WHO ilijenga vitalu 3 kama kitengo cha matibabu ya wagonjwa wa Kipindupindu (UTC) katika eneo la Bushagara na…

In this podcast episode, host Imogen Foulkes together with Swiss Solidarity ask: what are the challenges of delivering aid to Ukraine?“In the early days, it just looked like, five or six days, and Ukraine will be taken,” says Zuzana Brezinova, Ukraine country director at Swiss Church Aid HEKS.How do neutral, impartial humanitarian organisations really work in a war zone?“Because we're a neutral organisation we cannot sign memorandums of understanding with military organisations,” says Damon Elsworth, senior global emergency response team officer at Medair.What happens to the millions of Swiss francs donated, especially when donors expect quick results?“People who have been donating, they call our office, they want to know what happened,” says Tasha Rumley, head of humanitarian aid at Swiss Solidarity.And after that first rush of solidarity, is the support really there for the long haul?“As we all know I think, this conflict will not be over by the end of the year,” says Andrea Schmid, emergency aid expert at the Swiss Red Cross.Get in touch!

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: As the Biden White House is on vacation, its efforts to promote and defend abortion continue online. However, pro-life groups are encouraging pro-life supporters to remain vigilant and not to be tricked or misled by false claims by the abortion industry. Meanwhile, a judge in Florida says he is likely to make public at least part of the document detailing the evidence that led to the recent search of the home of former President Donald Trump. Executive Editor at the Federalist, Joy Pullman, joins to share what sort of information is in the affidavit and how much of it she expects will be made public. And the United States government is set to hold trade talks with Taiwan. The discussions are a sign of US support for the self-ruled island. Senior Research Fellow in the Asian Studies Center at the Heritage Foundation, Dean Cheng, joins to tell us more about the trade discussions between the United States and Taiwan and whether it is anything important or more of a symbolic action.

Depuis le lancement des attaques de lʹarmée russe le 24 février 2022, une solidarité remarquable a permis à la Chaîne du Bonheur de collecter plus de 115 millions de francs. La Fondation a déjà pu financer 14 projets de ses organisations partenaires suisses et est ainsi venue en aide à plus dʹun demi-million de personnes affectées par la guerre, non seulment en Ukraine mais aussi en Pologne, en Roumanie et en Moldavie. En Ukraine, plus de 7 millions de personnes ont fui les zones de conflits afin de se mettre à lʹabri dans des endroits épargnés par les combats. Elles deviennent alors particulièrement vulnérables et ont besoin de recevoir de la nourriture, de lʹeau, des soins médicaux, dʹêtre protégées ainsi que de disposer dʹinformations et de conseils sur la situation et les options possibles pour les mois à venir. La Chaîne du Bonheur finance actuellement à lʹouest et au centre de lʹUkraine sept projets dʹaide de ses partenaires, comme la Croix-Rouge suisse, Helvetas et Medair qui couvrent ces besoins humanitaires. Un projet financé de la Fondation Hirondelle offre, quant à lui, un soutien aux journalistes ukrainiens et à leurs médias grâce à un fonds dʹurgence et un appui éditorial. Cela contribue à maintenir une information de qualité qui est essentielle à la population ukrainienne dans le contexte de désinformation. Lʹaide de la Chaîne du Bonheur sʹest adaptée et continue à sʹadapter à un contexte particulièrement difficile et changeant puisque la guerre en Ukraine perdure et les conséquences du conflit ainsi que les besoins humanitaires vont donc demeurer sur le long terme. En Suisse, la Fondation oeuvre en faveur des réfugies en collaborant avec la Croix-Rouge suisse et Caritas Suisse ainsi que dʹautres organisations avant tout dans le domaine du conseil juridique et du soutien des enfants. Pour rappel, suite à lʹannonce de la guerre en Ukraine, un véritable tourbillon de solidarité avait pris possession de la Suisse, animant ménages privés, collectivités publiques et entreprises À lʹissue de sa journée nationale de solidarité du 9 mars dernier, la Fondation avait rassemblé 51 millions de francs de dons qui sont venus sʹajouter aux 31 millions de francs déjà collectés en amont. Il s'agit là d'un montant record collecté lors dʹune journée nationale de solidarité! Un mois après, le souffle de ce bel esprit solidaire ne sʹest pas épuisé: au total, ce sont 115'132'166 francs de dons qui sont parvenus à la Chaîne du Bonheur.

Personne ne devrait jamais avoir à décrire l'expérience qui consiste à fuir la violence. Pourtant, fuir, c'est ce que font les familles de réfugiés venues d'Ukraine. L'ONG Suisse Medair est aujourd'hui toujours mobilisée en Pologne. Damien Clerc, valaisan et professeur de philosophie, rentre justement de Pzemysl en Pologne et il nous livre son témoignage aujourd'hui, plus d'un mois après le début de la guerre.
Der Konflikt in der Ukraine hat zu einer humanitären Katastrophe geführt. Niemand kann vorhersehen, wie sich die Lage weiterentwickelt. Die christliche Hilfsorganisation Medair ist in vielen Krisengebieten rund um die Welt tätig und hat einen Einsatz für die Menschen aus der Ukraine begonnen. Der tägliche Umgang mit Leid ist eine Herausforderung für Mitarbeitende von Hilfsorganisationen. Sie können ihre Gefühle nicht zurückzustellen, brauchen aber einen Weg, damit umzugehen, um Menschen professionell Hilfe leisten zu können.

4 millions de réfugiés dans les 3 mois qui viennent. C'est sur cette donnée que se base l'ONG Medair pour organiser son aide humanitaire en Ukraine et dans les pays d'accueil, dont une équipe vient d'arriver sur place.

L'ONG chrétienne Medair, qui intervient dans les domaines d'aide d'urgence depuis plus de 30 ans, a rencontré le Pape François hier, à Rome. La rencontre d'hier restera un moment gravé dans l'histoire de l'organisation. Entretien exclusif avec Jean-Bernard Palthey, responsable des relations extérieures pour Medair.
On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: At the White House, President Joe Biden held a virtual vaccination summit where he stated, "The United States is buying another half billion doses of Pfizer to donate to low and middle income countries around the world." The Democrat-run House has passed a measure to keep the government open and raise its borrowing limit. Senate Republicans are expected to block it. Meanwhile, progressive Democrats are pushing back on the $3.5 trillion Human Infrastructure Bill. Republican Representative Mike Gallagher joins to share his thoughts on the House passing a budget bill on party lines to raise the debt ceiling. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said failing to raise the debt ceiling would produce a "widespread economic catastrophe" that would permanently weaken the US. Director of the Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget at the Heritage Foundation, Matt Dickerson, shares his reaction to Secretary Yellen's comments. Finally this evening, Medair is a Swiss-based humanitarian organization inspired by the Christian faith to save lives and relieve human suffering around the world. The organization has more than 1,200 team members in a dozen countries. Engagement director at Medair, Jean-Bernard Palthey, joins to tell us more about his organization and their mission.

De l’Irak à la Sierra Leone, du Népal à Haïti, Nath Fauveau a effectué plus d’une dizaine de missions pour l’ONG chrétienne Medair, œuvrant auprès des populations vulnérables dans les endroits les plus reculés du monde. Dans cet épisode, cette protestante évangélique nous raconte comment sa foi lui permet de faire face au sentiment d’impuissance qui, parfois, l’envahit. ► Saison 3, épisode 12 – L’essentiel de l’épisode : Lorsque survient un ouragan, un tremblement de terre, une vague de persécutions ou une crise politique, elle se tient toujours prête à sauter dans le premier avion. De l’Irak à Haïti, du Népal à la Sierra Leone en passant par Madagascar, la République démocratique du Congo (RDC) ou le Bangladesh, Nath Fauveau, 41 ans, a déjà effectué une douzaine de missions pour le compte de l’ONG chrétienne Medair, intervenant auprès des populations en détresse dans les endroits les plus reculés du monde. "J’ai toujours voulu faire un travail utile, qui ait du sens", confie aujourd’hui la responsable, depuis 2018, du suivi des projets sur le terrain pour l’antenne française de l’association, et membre du pool d’urgence du siège. Au cours de ses nombreux voyages, cette "globe-trotter de l’humanitaire", qui a la double nationalité franco-américaine, a déjà été confrontée à des situations périlleuses, ou à des scènes d’immense précarité. De confession protestante évangélique, Nath Fauveau le dit aujourd’hui sans ambages : sa foi l’aide considérablement, sur le terrain, à affronter les épreuves, et à ne pas devenir insensible aux besoins des populations qu’elle rencontre. "Je parle au Seigneur tous les jours, en tout temps. Je prie sans fermer les yeux, quand je marche dans la rue, quand je suis en train de faire des distributions…", raconte-t-elle dans ce douzième épisode de la troisième saison du podcast Place des religions, "je lui demande la sagesse, je lui demande la protection, mais aussi de l’amour et de la compassion…". ► À lire également sur le site et l'application du journal La Croix : ENQUÊTE – Les humanitaires face au défi inédit du coronavirus CRITIQUE – "Aider plus loin", un voyage humanitaire dans quarante ans de crises ► Parmi les invités de cette troisième saison de "Place des religions" : L’écrivain Jean-Christophe Rufin ; la navigatrice Clarisse Crémer ; l’aventurier du pôle Sud Matthieu Tordeur ; le médecin et explorateur du pôle Nord Jean-Louis Étienne ; l’auteure et voyageuse Sonia Poussin ; la spécialiste de la transe chamanique Corine Sombrun ; l’ancienne championne du monde d’escalade Stéphanie Bodet ; l’ancien sous-marinier et diacre Christophe Bail ; l’aéronaute suisse Bertrand Piccard ; la présidente d’honneur du WWF France et navigatrice Isabelle Autissier ; le spationaute Jean-François Clervoy ; l’écrivain et alpiniste Nadir Dendoune. ► Un podcast hebdomadaire : Tous les mercredis, écoutez un épisode de la saison 3 de "Place des religions" sur le site et l’application du journal La Croix et sur toutes les plateformes de podcast. ► Retrouvez également tous les épisodes des saisons précédentes : Place des religions, saison 1 : Ainsi soient-elles Place des religions, saison 2 : Paroles de politiques ► Vos contributions : Vous avez une question ou une remarque ?

The 2019 Rotary International Convention in Hamburg, Germany, was covered by RadioRotary interviewers; this is the third report on some of what they found. A Rotarian from the Netherlands told RadioRotary about efforts of her organization to reduce human trafficking with education and empowerment of youth. Another NGO (non-governmental organization) called Medair works to provide quick relief and shelter in cases of disasters or civil conflict. A Rotarian physician from Johns Hopkins in Maryland is part of the Rotary Action Group (RAG) on Mental Health Initiatives, working primarily to reduce high suicide rates in Lithuania and India. A Rotarian from Zambia describes efforts to provide new professions for commercial sex workers; he was promoting the Rotarian shirts made by former sex workers who now operate sewing machines. And, closer to home, Rotarians from Media, Pennsylvania (Jeffrey Cadorette), and Millbrook, New York (Cindie Kish), tell about the polio eradication program known as “Drop to Zero” and the possible drop to ground level from the skies for six Rotarians, including Cindie and Jeffrey, if goals are met.

In our second episode of Season Two, we talk with John Woodberry & Rick Enamaker, members of MAF's Disaster Response (DR) Team, about effectively and efficiently responding to disasters to save lives.

In this standalone episode, we speak to Sara Philips, Ebola Emergency Coordinator for the international NGO Medair, about the challenges of working in Democratic Republic of Congo, her team, and what drives her to do the work she does.
Neil Casey, Director of MedAir, is our visiting speaker this week. He delivers a challenging and encouraging message, with stories from some of the organization's current projects.
In the second episode of the Humanitarian Incidents podcast, Phil Candy, Security Advisor at Medair, discusses why his organisation adopted a robust online security incident information management system. He explains the benefits of the new system and the challenges Medair have faced its delivery. He also highlights some of the ongoing and future improvements planned for the system to increase its usability and encourage staff across Medair to report even minor incidents to create a clearer picture of its operating contexts. Finally, Phil provides some overarching advice for non-governmental organisations (NGOs) considering the adoption of a SIIM system, stressing the need to balance information sharing and confidentiality. The project is supported by the European Interagency Security Forum, Insecurity Insight and RedR UK and is funded by EU Humanitarian Aid.
Neil talks about the challenges faced by Medair when delivering aid around the world.One of their current challenge is supporting the refugees from Syria because their are so many camps spread over a large area. Qlik and its mapping facility help them pinpoint areas of great need so very little is wasted.

This month on The Writer and Critic your hosts, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond, are delighted to bring you Part the Second of their special eBook Extravaganza. Wasting absolutely no time on formalities, the duo roll up their sleeves and get straight into the discussion of their listener-chosen titles. The books on the table for this episode are: The Black God's War by Moses Siregar III (at 2:15) the mark), The Silence of Medair by Andrea K Höst (42:30) and Paintwork by Tim Maughan (1:08:30). During the discussion, Ian mentions an article on "Writing About Rape" that Jim Hines wrote for Apex Magazine back in January 2012. While this isn't available online, Jim Hines has written two similar pieces which can be found on his blog, along with other useful resources on the subject. If you've skipped forward to avoid spoilers, please tune back in at 1:33:35 for a thoughtful discussion of self-publishing, reading in general and concluding remarks about the last two episodes. Changing gears, next month will see the first non-fiction edition of The Writer and the Critic. Ian has recommended Evaporating Genres, a collection of essays by Gary K. Wolfe, while Kirstyn has picked James Tiptree, Jr.: The Double Life of Alice B. Sheldon, a biography by Julie Phillips. Read ahead and join in the non-fictional fun!
This month on The Writer and the Critic your hosts, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond, present Part the First of their special eBook Extravaganza! Yes, that's right ... unable to condense the discussion of six books into less than three hours, they have wisely decided to split the podcast into two episodes. You're welcome, listeners. After some brief introductory remarks, Kirstyn and Ian jump straight into the dissection of the first three books up on the block: Angelfall by Susan Ee (at the 3:20 mark), Anticopernicus by Adam Roberts (32.15) and The Dark Wife by Sarah Diemer (1:01:20). Along the way, Kirstyn recommends this series of philosophical reviews of Anticopernicus by Rich Puchalsky for further reading, while Ian notes a discussion of difficulty in fiction by Adam Roberts, which was in turn inspired by a 2009 essay by John Lanchester. Sarah Diemer's thoughtful explanation of why she chose to self-publish her books can be found here. For those who've been skipping ahead to avoid spoilers, you can tune back in around 1:30:20 for a very quick wrap-up. Next month, in Part the Second of the eBook Extravaganza, Ian and Kirstyn will discuss the last three books as chosen by listeners: The Black God's War by Moses Siregar III The Silence of Medair by Andrea K Höst Paintwork by Tim Maughan They'd love to hear your feedback on all the eBooks they've discussed!
This month brings the first fresh recording of The Writer and the Critic since the massive pre-record-a-thon back in June. Yours hosts, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond, welcome themselves back into the slightly rusty saddle with a brief catch-up on what they did during their break ... which seems to have been a whole bunch of extracurricular reading and podcasting! Kirstyn confesses to the reading slump in which she currently finds herself bemired, while managing to provide a a handle of capsule reviews along the way. Ian discusses his short story ennui as well as taking the opportunity to plug episodes of Last Short Story and the Martian Drive-In Podcast in which he appeared. Podcast floozy, thy name is Mond. The books tabled for dissection this month are Bitter Greens by Kate Forsyth (beginning around 21:40) and Osama by Lavie Tidhar (at 1:06:10). There are many, many spoilers, including detailed discussions of both endings. Be warned! For supplemental listening, Ian and Kirstyn both highly recommend this episode of Galactic Chat in which Sean Wright interviews Kate Forsyth about the research and writing of Bitter Greens. If you've skipped ahead, please back around the 1:53:00 mark -- yes, it's another loooooong podcast -- for some final remarks and listener feedback. Next month is the special Writer and Critic eBook Extravaganza! Ian and Kirstyn will endeavour to read and discuss the following six -- yes, SIX -- originally self-published eBooks as recommended by their listeners: Angelfall by Susan Ee Anticopernicus by Adam Roberts Paintwork by Tim Maughan The Black God's War by Moses Siregar III The Dark Wife by Sarah Diemer The Silence of Medair by Andrea K Höst Unlike other books featured on the podcast, Ian and Kirstyn will also be commenting on the format, practical readability and publication standards of these six titles in the context of a broader discussion of e-publishing -- and they have given each other permission to abandon any book they find a struggle for whatever reason. Join them for what should be a most entertaining, engaging and edifying episode!
