Send us a textOn the release of his latest thriller, The Viper: A Zig and Nola Novel, Brad Meltzer joins Joe for an in-depth conversation on writing, curiosity, service, and the often-hidden moments that shape a life. From bestselling thrillers to children's books, Meltzer reflects on how stories—both real and imagined—help us make sense of who we are, what we've lived through, and the paths we choose moving forward.Drawing on his own unlikely origin story, Meltzer shares how a single teacher's encouragement set him on the path to becoming a writer, why falling in love with the process matters more than chasing outcomes, and how curiosity has been the throughline of his career. They explore how paying attention—to people, details, and quiet acts of kindness—can open doors we didn't even know existed.The conversation also dives into Meltzer's deep connection to the military community, from his work with the USO to the research behind his Zig and Nola thriller series set at Dover Air Force Base. Together, Joe and Brad discuss service, sacrifice, grief, and why storytelling can help destigmatize mental health struggles—especially for those transitioning out of uniform.In this episode, Brad Meltzer and Joe also explore:How one teacher's belief can change the trajectory of a lifeWhy curiosity is a more powerful tool than talentFalling in love with the process—not the outcome—of creative workWhat writing thrillers has taught Meltzer about human natureWhy Dover Air Force Base became the heart of his Zig and Nola seriesHow small acts of kindness ripple outward in unexpected waysThe challenge of transitioning from a life of constant motion to stillnessWhy seeking help is a sign of strength, not weaknessHow reading builds empathy, critical thinking, and resilienceWhy transformation is the hardest, and most important, kind of changeWhether you're a writer, a leader, a veteran, or someone navigating a transition, this conversation is a reminder that paying attention, staying curious, and honoring the quiet work of becoming can lead to a life richer than any plan you could have written in advance.Watch the full episode on Youtube! A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors!Veteran-founded Adyton.

And today? We've get the lowdown on The Viper — the latest, pulse-pounding, turn-every-page thriller that just hit bookstores and is already getting the kind of buzz most authors only dream about.

A crossover that nobody saw coming — a collision of icons that will shake the comics world to its core.

Immediately after we recorded our last conversation with Brad Meltzer, we recorded a secret second episode. He was aching to discuss his next project, but he couldn't quite let the cat out of the bag until Marvel Comics released its press release. Well, friends, today's the day. The word is out: Brad Meltzer is writing the main story for the upcoming Spider-Man/Superman crossover. Now, we can release our secret conversation. In this exclusive interview with Brad Meltzer, we discuss what these icons mean to the bestselling author and what he hopes to achieve by bringing them together. Meltzer lavishes praise upon his collaborator, artist Pepe Larraz, and assures us that their story will speak directly to the two unique heroisms Spider-Man and Superman practice. We also consider how their origins might cause friction within a team-up. Our conversation with Brad Meltzer also provides another opportunity to debate those iconic words written by Stan Leein Amazing Fantasy #15: “With great power there must also come great responsibility.” We all know what those words mean, right? Right? Let's get into it. Spider-Man/Superman #1 will hit comic shops on April 15th. In addition to Brad Meltzer and Pepe Larraz's story, the comic will feature backup tales by Dan Slott, Marcos Martin, Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Jason Aaron, Russell Dauterman, Louise Simonson, Todd Nauck, Joe Kelly, Humberto Ramos, Brian Michael Bendis, Sara Pichelli, and more.

When you read The Viper, the new Zig and Nola novel from Brad Meltzer, it doesn't take long to see how comics inform the author's creativity. As he says during our conversation, “It's Superman and Batman. It's Spider-Man and Wolverine.” Meltzer grew up a comic book kid, and the ideas he found in Marvel Comics and DC Comics remain at the forefront of his imagination. It's been a minute since he's played in our favorite medium, having written stellar runs on Green Arrow and Justice League of America, and we can never forget the monumental event that was Identity Crisis. However, he's never been far from comics, and it's evident to anyone who's experienced his Ordinary People Change the World series with Chris Eliopoulos and his novels. The Viper, released this week from William Morrow, is Meltzer's return to the thriller. It's a zippy, twisty narrative about a dying man who delivers his suit to the funeral home tasked with handling his body, shortly before he's murdered, advancing his earthly exit. The death quickly reunites Meltzer's heroes from The Lightning Rod and The Escape Artist, Zig and Nola, his Superman and Batman, and plunges them into a conspiracy with ties to Nola's past. We got a lot from The Viper, and we bring it all to Brad Melzer on this week's podcast. We discuss his life as a comic book kid, how he can't escape comics, and what he might have on the horizon in terms of the four-color medium. Yes, his Ghost Machine collaboration with Geoff Johns and Gene Ha is coming, but there seems to be something else, too. We try to tease the news out of him.

Have you read Jean Meltzer yet, and are you in the mood for a holiday romance with real heart? In this special encore episode, we're bringing back our December 2021 Book Club episode (Ep. 207), featuring Jean Meltzer's The Matzah Ball (Libro.fm | Bookshop.org), her delightful debut. We loved revisiting this one: it's funny and festive, but it also has surprising depth as Meltzer thoughtfully explores chronic illness and the power (and weight) of keeping parts of yourself hidden. We also talk about the rich portrayal of Jewish traditions, the book's strong family dynamics, and the second-chance chemistry between Rachel and Jacob. If you're new to Meltzer, this is a perfect place to start, especially since she's also written another holiday romance we adore, The Eight Heartbreaks of Hanukkah (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm). We hope you enjoy this cozy throwback, and we'd love to hear what holiday reads you're loving this season!   Visit the Unabridged website for our full show notes and links to the books mentioned in the episode.

Two years later and titles are still meaningless.  PWI pulls a Meltzer, Nixon Newell refuses to job, and Chelsea Green gets creamed.  No, it's not just your imagination, it's just another crazy week in the world of wrasslin'.  Also this week:   - News - This week in WWE and AEW - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Movie of the week: The Temptations

Ancestral Native American Dispersal and Admixture 3. Meltzer describes the dispersal of the first peoples into the Americas, explaining that ancestral Native Americans likely arrived first and made it south of the ice sheets, splitting into Northern and Southern groups with the Southern group dispersing rapidly toward Tierra del Fuego. This rapid dispersal into completely unknown, people-free land suggests dogs—whose genomic history matches human travel—were likely part of their cultural repertoire for defense and hunting. Genomic data reveals that ancient groups later became isolated, developing distinctive genetic markers before experiencing later admixture as mobility increased, and critically shows no ancestral relationship between these first Americans and European, Ainu, or Polynesian populations.

Patterns of Isolation and Continuity in the Americas 4. Professor Meltzer notes that rapid dispersal and substantial population increase characterized the first peoples in the Americas, leading to early isolation and the emergence of subgroups through both geographic constraints like the Andes Mountains and social isolation due to increasing territoriality. Some areas show strong genomic continuity over millennia while others show discontinuity, with populations being displaced or replaced, and later influxes occurred around 6,000 years ago as maritime groups began crossing the Bering Sea, causing further admixture. Genomics is also used to study indigenous health history, including the incidence of diseases like tuberculosis, to help present-day descendants and confirm the devastating impact of infectious diseases introduced by Europeans.

Migration Routes and Genetic Groups 2. Professor Meltzer details the migration routes of ancestral Native Americans, explaining that while they crossed the land bridge during maximum glaciation, they were initially trapped in Alaska by two vast continental ice sheets. The "ice free corridor" along the Rockies was not a viable route until around 13,000 years ago, so the likely path was down the Pacific coast, which may have cleared as early as 16,500 years ago. Meltzer introduces the concept of a "genetic ghost," which is evidence in the genomic record of a contributing population for which no physical sample has yet been found.

This week on Nymphet Alumni, Biz is joined by journalist and author Marisa Meltzer to talk about her new book It Girl: The Life and Legacy of Jane Birkin — the first comprehensive biography of the actress, singer and myth-muse. The two get into the making of Birkin's image and the unseen real life behind it, plus how aging, style and selfhood intersect. Also discussed: the horrors of Serge Gainsbourg's man-cave, Timothee Chalamet as inheritor of the Jane B legacy, and why swag might just come from getting older.Links:It Girl: The Life and Legacy of Jane Birkin by Marisa Meltzer (Out now!)Soft Power by Marisa MeltzerMarisa Meltzer This is a public episode.

Generally speaking, this is my most listened to show of the year, so thank you and strap in. Over the past several months this podcast has focused on many of the people who had not yet made the ballot. That gives me much more latitude on today's show to dive into the people and process of the Hall of Fame, examine the ballot, and on the second half of the show I throw a curveball to the process which makes for a very interesting segment. Also, I am preparing a suggestion for Dave Meltzer about how to handle the pioneer era of wrestling.

This week we welcome the writer Marisa Meltzer back to STARGIRL to discuss her new book It Girl: The Life and Legacy of Jane Birkin (out this week!). We discuss the myth of Jane Birkin and Marisa's project to animate her beyond a 2D moodboard figure, and use Jane as a vessel to revisit classic STARGIRL conversations such as Artist vs. Muse, Narrative Control, and Nature vs. Artifice. We discuss Jane's lifelong Lolita energy, character as a mother, natural aging process, and comfortability as a vessel for others' creative and sexual projections.Plus, I reflect on seeing Addison live after 5+ years of indulging my fixation in my imagination, give my take on the various Showgirl vibes in culture right now, and answer the elephant in the room: Is Jane Birkin a Stargirl or an It Girl?Discussed:It Girl: The Life and Legacy of Jane Birkin, Marisa Meltzer (2025)Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Life of Emily Weiss's Glossier, Marisa Meltzer (2023)STARGIRL episode on Emily Weiss with Marisa (2023)“Do the right thing Addison Rae…” @_artsartsarts on X“Addison Rae Wants More Than Virality” Alex Hawgood, W Mag (2025)Alix Earle on DWTS (so good!)“Margaret Qualley Manifested This Cover Story” Willa Bennett Cosmopolitan (2025)The Power Notebooks, Katie Roiphe (2020)“Why I Got a Neck Lift at 41 Years Old” Sophie Pavitt in The Cut (2025)Jane B. par Agnes V.

In this 2006 conversation, bestselling author Brad Meltzer joins me fresh off the release of his political thriller The Book of Fate, which hit #1 on the New York Times list. We talk about how the novel's mix of Washington intrigue, secret histories, and high-stakes drama reflects his passion for blending real-world politics with page-turning suspense.On the comics side, Meltzer dives into his acclaimed runs at DC. He discusses his relaunch of Green Arrow, where he re-established Oliver Queen as a gritty, street-level hero, and shares insights into his landmark miniseries Identity Crisis — exploring the emotional cost of heroism and the risks of reshaping icons. We also preview his then-upcoming Justice League of America run, including the Red Tornado storyline that re-examines the soul and humanity of one of DC's most underrated characters.It's a portrait of Brad Meltzer at a pivotal moment — redefining superheroes in comics while simultaneously cementing himself as one of the top thriller writers in prose.

Step behind the curtain and slip into the green-room chaos that only the 11SOFT club normally hears. This “Best of the Pre-Show” mixtape stitches together those hot-mike minutes when Kevin Nash, Sean Oliver and the full Kliq brain-trust empty the chamber before the red light blinks. It is unfiltered locker-room humor, half-baked concepts and very real belly laughs… all finally set loose. Ever wondered how a Gaylord Perry Man of the Year trophy, Bea Arthur, and a Florida cop-battling “multitasker” could all end up in the same awards show pitch? The gang's year-end brainstorm session is here, and it is gloriously off the rails. Sprinkle in a live critique of Mandy Rose's infamous “menu” and you begin to understand why these warm-ups sometimes eclipse the main program. Dave Meltzer's legendary paper tsunami office gets roasted in real time, complete with a forensic breakdown of his CRT monitor and Rolodex. From there the conversation ricochets to Corey Graves conspiracy theories, Pat McAfee's chaos energy, and a fantasy booking detour that leaves even Big Kev shaking his head. No topic is safe and every punchline lands stiff. Kevin's own life shows up too. You will hear the most honest play-by-play ever given of the IVF “walk of shame” and learn why a $4,500 two-night SummerSlam package made him reach for hazard pay. Add a side order of AEW attendance math, a cameo by Gain the Pride-Flag Kane, and a surprise ten-grand payday story for Mick Foley and you have the entire spectrum of wrestling's weirdest corners. This sampler is a love letter to the diehards who live for inside jokes and deep-cut lore. If you crack a smile here, imagine catching it live with the crew every week. Hit play, take the ride, then decide whether you are ready to join the 11SOFT club and hear tomorrow's insanity before anyone else.
