Originally published on April 2 of 2024, we bring you a story by Morgan Sutton that embodies everything a story should embody. The story uses no extra words; the narrator looks inside herself; and the story matters to the broader world. The story is so important because it explains a very dangerous and ugly assumption that is often made about women who've been raped. Morgan does it by examining her own situation and her own assumptions. There's no preaching. And there's nothing dogmatic. This is what writing and storytelling is all about. Getting to the truth. Morgan workshopped this story at Writing Class Radio's annual writing boot camp in Key Largo. She did the work to make the story great. Morgan Sutton is a hospice nurse who lives in Austin, Texas with her husband.Writing Class Radio is hosted by Allison Langer and Andrea Askowitz. Audio production by Matt Cundill, Evan Surminski, Chloe Emond-Lane, and Aiden Glassey at the Sound Off Media Company.

In 2021, Jason Mott won the National Book Award for Hell of a Book. Now, he's out with a new novel called People Like Us, in which two Black writers navigate life in the United States in an era of gun violence. Mott says the book is loosely based on himself – and leans into the audience's tendency to conflate authors with the stories they write. In today's episode, Mott talks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about his personal relationships with American identity, guns, and fiction.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Jenn Todling had a mental breakdown after caring for her chronically ill spouse for five years. She felt trapped and hopeless, assuming she would never be able to leave the situation or have a fulfilling life. This was a turning point for her to realize that her mental health was at risk, and she needed to seek help and support. With a past life as an audit partner at Ernest and Young, a stint at the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and an adjunct faculty coach at the University of Denver, Jenn's journey to become an author, speaker, and coach embodies the power of transformation.      Jenn kept a journal of ideas she needed to share with the world - life lessons and guiding principles led to publishing her journey to help support people through transformation and help them become their most authentic selves.   In her interview, Jenn shares: - The power of mindset in looking for hope in challenging situations. - How creative expression can help support us in getting unstuck from sticky situations. - How we can go after our dreams no matter our age or circumstances.   "If you think you can or can't - You are right" - Henry Ford   An inspirational book club read of one woman's journey of taking the bold step to leave her disabled and volatile spouse and moving across the country in search of adventure, tango, and love. At the tender age of twenty, Jenn faces a pivotal moment when her boyfriend, Morey, proposes marriage after only a few weeks of dating. Her intuition urges her to say no, but she's spent the entirety of her teenage years caregiving for family; she yearns for adventure, and she thinks relocating to California with Morey will give her the freedom she craves. So, she says yes—only to find herself back in the caregiver role after he becomes disabled a few years into their marriage. But it's Morey's volatile personality that ultimately leads Jenn to make a brave decision: it's time to leave. Dancing on My Own Two Feet takes a poignant turn as Jenn relocates to New York City after her divorce. Here, she rediscovers a long-forgotten passion for dance and embarks on a transformative journey that transcends the physicality of movement. Each dance becomes a channel to tap into her inner wisdom, providing the courage to explore the world and embrace new adventures. Then Jenn encounters Gable, a potential suitor, prompting new questions to arise in her: Is she better off on her own? Or could Gable be the love and dance partner she's been longing for?   CLICK HERE FOR YOUR COPY  CONNECT WITH GINA HERE Website Facebook Amazon Linkedin Substack Instagram

Max Hawthorne is an American author, screen and songwriter, as well as an avocational paleontologist. Referred to as the “Prince of Paleo-fiction”, he is best known for his Kronos Rising series of sci-fi suspense thrillers which have garnered both Book of the Year and People's Choice awards. He is the Amazon #1 bestselling author of the cryptid research book, Monsters & Marine Mysteries, Memoirs of a Gym Rat, an outrageous exposé of the health club industry, and the children's book I Want a Tyrannosaurus for Christmas. His song, A Tyrannosaurus for Christmas, peaked at #2 on the 2021 World Indie Charts. He has been interviewed by both The Washington Post and Fangoria Magazine and has appeared on QVC, Spaced Out Radio, Coast to Coast AM, and in A Tribe Called Quest's rap video, I Left My Wallet in El Segundo.Max's experiences with the unknown go back decades. In the summer of 1984, he encountered an unknown creature digging itself out of a grave in a cemetery in Philadelphia, PA. In that same region in 1989, he watched a UFO hurtling across the night sky do an impossible maneuver – a complete and instantaneous 180-degree reversal, with no deceleration or noticeable turning, at a speed that was at least three times that of the commercial jets below it (approximately Mach 2). During the summer of 1993, he observed a huge, anthropoid-like creature, which he believes to be a Sasquatch, for 10-15 minutes as it dived repeatedly for crayfish in a Connecticut lake. On November 22, 2016, Max and his daughter observed a winged entity that had apparently crash-landed in the street near their home. The creature had an estimated wingspan of 3-4 feet and, once it recovered, flew over the author's SUV. Since then, Max has had multiple encounters with cryptids, to the point he decided to begin documenting his experiences in order to share them with the world.Check out Max's author page, at: https://www.kronosrising.com/Max visits with Dean to talk about a brand new video he has just released on his Youtube channel, you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG3EpE10fVQThe video, captured by Max on his home security camera, is of a large black cat. This unusual feline appears to possess the qualities of an incredibly rare cryptid known as an Alien Big Cat, Phantom Cat, Shapeshifter, or just Shifter.Max and Dean discuss the intriguing video, along with some of Max's other encounters with the anomalous.This is a fascinating and eerie episode, that you do not want to miss!

“It took me 12 years to write it and get it to a publisher… writing a book was a lot harder than an Ironman.” In this heartfelt episode of Uncorking a Story, I sit down with Betsy Armstrong—writer, mom, athlete, and philanthropist—to explore the winding path that led her to authorship. From losing her mother at 23, to navigating midlife, infertility, and ultimately adopting two children from Russia, Betsy's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and radical love. Her memoir, The Mother of All Decisions, dives into the legacy of mother loss and the power of choosing motherhood in her late 40s. Whether you're grieving, writing your way through pain, or redefining your life at midlife, this conversation will move and motivate you. Key Takeaways: Grief can be a catalyst for personal transformation—if we're brave enough to face it. Writing is not just creative expression; it's a powerful tool for healing. Adopting at midlife brought unexpected challenges—and immeasurable joy. It's never too late to become the person you're meant to be. Even careers that don't seem “creative” (like nonprofit work or sales) can build skills for storytelling. Memoir writing takes time, support, and revision—it really does take a village. You don't need to have all the answers to begin writing—just a willingness to be honest. Buy The Mother of All Decisions: A Memoir of Mother Loss, Legacy, and Adopting Kids in Midlife.

In This EpisodeIt's 1:00 PM May 5th, 1864 -- Brigadier General Lysander Cutler's famed Iron Brigade advanced in tandem with Bartlett through woods immediately south of Saunders Field. Although Bartlett is able to break through, Cutler meets fierce resistance as his men struggle to fight half in the openness of Saunders Field, and half in the dense thickets of The Wilderness. As the battle rages, the Iron Brigade soon discovers the dangers of fighting an invisible enemy.Notable Quotes"An elderly gentleman, spare of frame, with silvery hair, a beard nearly white, and beneath heavy eyebrows of an iron-gray color, are keen, penetrating dark eyes. His step is somewhat uneven, owing to a severe wound received at Gainesville. From behind a somewhat grave and severe aspect, shines out a kindly, even genial manner that wins you at once." -- Rufus Dawes' Memoir (about General Lysander Cutler)"All semblance of line of battle was gone and there were gaps everywhere between regiments and brigades."-- General Warren's Aide"Look to your right!"-- Officer, 6th Wisconsin"At Chickamauga there was at least a rear, but here there ain't neither front nor rear. It's all a [...] mess! And our two armies ain't nothin but howlin' mobs!” -- A Confederate prisoner to his captors"Where is my second line? Bring up my second line!" -- Wadsworth riding back and forth, trying to reform his Federal lines"It met with the greatest loss of any regiment in the battles of the Wilderness.” -- 7th, Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment HistorySupport the War Yankee PodcastEvery episode is a work of passion that requires a lot of coffee.

“A riveting memoir that takes readers on a roller coaster ride from the depths of hell to triumphant success.”—Dave Pelzer, author of A Child Called “It”Michelle Stevens has a photo of the exact moment her childhood was stolen from her: She's only eight years old, posing for her mother's boyfriend, Gary Lundquist—an elementary school teacher, neighborhood stalwart, and brutal pedophile. Later that night, Gary locks Michelle in a cage, tortures her repeatedly, and uses her to quench his voracious and deviant sexual whims. Little does she know that this will become her new reality for the next six years.Michelle can also pinpoint the moment she reconstituted the splintered pieces of her life: She's in cap and gown, receiving her PhD in psychology—and the university's award for best dissertation.The distance between these two points is the improbable journey from torture, loss, and mental illness to healing, recovery, and triumph that is Michelle's powerful memoir, Scared Selfless.Michelle suffered from post‐traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression, and made multiple suicide attempts. She also developed multiple personalities. There was “Chelsey,” the rebellious teenager; “Viscous,” a tween with homicidal rage; and “Sarah,” a sweet little girl who brought her teddy bear on a first date.In this harrowing tale, Michelle, who was inspired to help others heal by becoming a psychotherapist, sheds light on the all-too-real threat of child sexual abuse, its subsequent psychological effects, and the best methods for victims to overcome their ordeals and, ultimately, thrive. Scared Selfless is both an examination of the extraordinary feats of the mind that are possible in the face of horrific trauma as well as Michelle's courageous testament to their power.https://amzn.to/4mapI2ABecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Send us a textIn today's explosive episode, I'm diving deep into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal with a focus on Bill Clinton given he was just subpoenaed by Congress and as usual there are shocking revelations. I will remind you of all of the women who made allegations against Bill Clinton especially around the time he was supposedly hanging out with Epstein. We will discuss the congressional subpoena that was issued to him and Hillary Clinton. I'll tell you about a transgender woman named Ava Cordero who filed a police report against Epstein back in 2007 but was completely ignored because of being trans and other factors, plus I'm covering Alicia Arden's story from Gloria Allred's recent press conference about her encounter with Epstein at the Shutters Hotel in Santa Monica that also got buried. I'm breaking down everything Ghislaine Maxwell likely told the DOJ about Bill Clinton's extensive travels with Epstein and the evidence surrounding it. I'll walk you through Virginia Giuffre's unpublished memoir "Billionaire's Playboy Club" where she details seeing Clinton on Epstein's island with two young girls, and I'm giving you my take on whether her claims are credible or not. Then we're switching gears to some major Real Housewives of Beverly Hills tea - Denise Richards is allegedly back for the new season and it's pissing off Rachel Zoe by stealing her thunder, plus I've got insider details about their Montauk filming and a shocking murder that happened that same week. People have big concerns about Dorit telling the truth in her announced memoir, and I'll tell you about it. Since we are talking Epstein, I'm also sharing Sami Sheen's terrifying TikTok about almost getting trafficked, and wait until you hear the explosive rant from Project Runway designer Kenley Collins absolutely destroying Andy Cohen and calling him a predator and the Gay Weinstein.
