Tom Bross, author of the three-part memoir series Don't Call Me Jupiter: Memoir of a Reluctant Hippie Kid—Tightrope, Lightning Crashes, and Wheel in the Sky—joins Kate to discuss growing up in a family that traded a conventional Midwestern life for California's hippie counterculture. He shares how his mother's pursuit of freedom left her five children navigating instability and abandonment, why school became his refuge, and how he found his own path. Tom also discusses taking in his nephews after his sister's death, the heartbreaking decision to pursue an open adoption, and learning to love his mother without excusing the pain she caused.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts Session 13 on The Memoirs of Robert & Mabel Williams: African American Freedom, Armed Resistance, & International Solidarity. We read the first portion of Mabel Williams' memoir and commented on how her perspective on Racism evolved over her life. A recap of last week's session focused on : Not Too Radical At First: In contrast to Robert F., Mabel Williams says that her family was more concerned with not making trouble and staying out of White people's way. White Jesus: In strong contrast to Robert F., Mabel Williams has a detailed description of being baptized as a young girl and the importance of church in her life. Robert Williams does not recount a similar church experience his portion of the book. Unemployed (privileged?) Black Males: In her book and her later talks, Mabel Williams recounts how she was always able to land employment. Perhaps not the best paying or most glorified positions, but a job with a paycheck none the less. In contrast, Robert F. and many other black males were perpetually unemployed or exclusively hired on a temporary basis for low wage, low skill jobs. This Racist Labor code caused a myriad of problems for attempted marriages like that of Robert and Mabel Williams. Medical Apartheid: Mabel describes working at the local hospital and gaining a much better understanding of Racism. She tells us the black babies were stored in the basement and kept in the area with dirty needles and rubbish. In this environment, 75% of black babies died. White doctors made Racist Jokes about black people. Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

Russell T Davies has spent decades creating some of Britain's most beloved and groundbreaking television. After studying English at Oxford, he went from writing for children's programmes and Coronation Street to creating Queer As Folk in 1999 - a show that changed the conversation around gay representation on TV. Since then, he's written hit after hit, from Bob & Rose and A Very English Scandal to Years and Years, It's A Sin and his hugely successful revival of Doctor Who. He's won four BAFTAs and was awarded an OBE in 2008. In this episode we talk about where his obsession and passion for TV came from, how his exceptionally busy mind works, losing his husband to a brain tumour, his love of Dr Who and…finding love again. His new memoir, The Queerest of Folk, is out on 8th October.

Charles Spencer says he has spoken with both Prince William and Prince Harry since publishing his controversial Princess Diana memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. Spencer revealed Harry had one particular concern, asking whether the book contained anything that would embarrass him. Spencer says he deliberately kept both brothers out of the project and did not ask either of them to approve the book. He has not revealed what William said about it.Meanwhile, the internet has produced another spectacular royal rumor: claims that King Charles and Queen Camilla are divorcing because of a mysterious “secret dossier.” Snopes investigated the story and found no evidence supporting the allegations, no credible reporting of a divorce and no announcement from Buckingham Palace.There is also a more serious story involving King Charles and his longtime friend, explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes. The Telegraph reports that Charles tried to reach out after friends raised concerns about Fiennes's wellbeing, but his attempt to make contact through Fiennes's wife was unsuccessful.Plus, Princess Anne meets endurance fundraiser Sir Kevin Sinfield, not Jerry Seinfeld, although we briefly got very excited. Princess Beatrice's dinner with Spotify executive Dustee Jenkins sparks speculation about crisis-management advice for the York family, William and Catherine hold separate behind-the-scenes meetings at Windsor Castle, and an English-style pub named the King's Arms is coming to Transylvania in honor of King Charles. Questions this episode answers: What did Prince Harry ask Charles Spencer about his Princess Diana memoir? Has Prince William spoken to Charles Spencer about Swan Song? Did Harry or William approve Charles Spencer's book? Are King Charles and Queen Camilla getting divorced? What is the truth behind the royal “secret dossier” rumor? Why did King Charles try to contact Sir Ranulph Fiennes? Did Princess Anne meet Jerry Seinfeld? And why is a pub in Transylvania being named after King Charles?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/palace-intrigue-harry-meghan-the-crown-royal-family-news-and-gossip--4522904/support.Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor.

Writer and cultural critic Jamilah Lemieux published a collection of personal essays and testimonies called “Black. Single. Mother.” in March. When she joined Chris to talk about her experience of writing the book and then touring the country to promote it a few months later, she said she'd been changed. “I went into this book wanting to defend us, you know, wanting to stand up for us, wanting to give us our flowers. I've come out of the process of writing the book and living with it in the world and being on tour, I've become radicalized,” she says. “Now I would go so far to say that I think Black single mothers are the most essential group of people in the Black community, and arguably one of the most important, most productive, high-functioning, and significant groups of people in our society.” She and Chris talk about parenting, the manosphere, class, the ways politicians have used – and continue to use – single mothers, and especially Black single mothers, to their own ends, and what she learned about her own family while writing her book.

Prince Andrew reportedly considered writing a memoir as part of an effort to tell his side of the story after his public downfall over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations made by Virginia Giuffre. Reports said he discussed the idea with advisers and people in publishing, with the possibility that a book could address his friendship with Epstein, the fallout from his disastrous Newsnight interview and his removal from public royal duties. The concept drew immediate attention because a memoir would have given Andrew a chance to challenge the public narrative around him, but it also carried enormous legal and reputational risks, particularly if he addressed disputed allegations or private royal matters in detail.Despite the speculation, the memoir never materialized. Andrew ultimately did not publish a book, and the project appeared to stall amid concerns about whether recounting his version of events would create more problems than it solved. Any memoir would have subjected his claims to intense scrutiny, potentially reopened questions about Epstein and Giuffre, and risked further friction with the royal family. In the end, the idea remained just that: an idea repeatedly floated in the press but never turned into a finished, published account.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Joel Dinerstein's The Last of the Ellis Island Jews (SUNY Press, 2026) is a tragicomic memoir of a dysfunctional, working-class Brooklyn Jewish family that illuminates both the vitality of urban life in the twentieth century and the social turmoil of white flight. As a child of immigrants born to older parents, Dinerstein has a unique perspective on four generations--from his grandparents escaping Russia's pogroms to his parents' embattled marriage to his older Boomer siblings (split between feminist and Republican politics) to his own hippie hopes. As a white teenager in majority Black public schools, Dinerstein's firsthand experience led to his academic career as a scholar of race and music. Yet his family fits no paradigm of Jewish success due to a father with rage and gambling problems, resulting in the four siblings escaping early to the Brooklyn streets. As a family growing up with a diasporic identity, the Dinersteins provide a primer of ethnic Jewish culture through iconic scenes: a selfish Seder, a chaotic Bar Mitzvah, a videotaped bris, an allergy attack at Dachau, a staring contest with the Rebbe. Most of all, The Last of the Ellis Island Jews is a chronicle of lost worlds. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What happens when you stop using drugs, but the pain that led you there is still waiting for you?On this episode of Groove with Portia, I sit down with Nikki Mammano, author of Breaking Good: A Memoir, for an honest conversation about addiction, childhood trauma, homelessness, recovery, shame, identity and learning to love the person you used to be.Nikki's life has included identities most people would never imagine existing within one story. She has experienced addiction, homelessness and incarceration, and today she is a mother, author, speaker and advocate.But our conversation isn't simply about who Nikki used to be.It's about what happens after survival.Nikki describes addiction as rooted, in her experience, in trauma and disconnection. She explains that putting down the drugs didn't automatically mean putting down everything that had brought her to addiction in the first place. She still had to confront the pain, grief and experiences she had carried with her.We also talk about something that can be difficult to reconcile in recovery: acknowledging that you were harmed while also accepting responsibility for harm you may have caused others. Nikki shares that learning to forgive and love herself despite choices she made during addiction has been one of the hardest parts of her journey.Her memoir required another level of vulnerability.Nikki spent years reconstructing her story, recording memories, speaking with people from her past and trying to tell what happened as honestly and fairly as she could. Writing the book was cathartic and painful—but she says realizing those words were actually going to be published was an entirely different battle.And then I asked Nikki a question I hadn't heard anyone ask her:Does she ever miss the woman she used to be?Her answer surprised me.Nikki doesn't miss those versions of herself. She's learned to love them. Instead of erasing the addict, the homeless woman or the woman who made painful choices, she's taken the best parts of those versions of herself forward as she's continued to grow.Today, Nikki says finding her groove means finding love within herself, extending it to others and transforming the pain she's experienced into connection, service and giving back.Connect with Nikki Mammano and learn more about Breaking Good: A Memoir:https://www.nikkimammano.com/

In this episode, Alex Murdock the MadPo3t sits down with author and former attorney Vincent Rylan to dissect his thought-provoking novel, Memoirs of the End. Moving past the tired Hollywood tropes of kinetic robot uprisings, Rylan offers a chillingly realistic vision of the future: AI won't conquer humanity with weapons; it will quietly integrate into our institutions, politics, and belief systems. Through a multi-perspective lens, they discuss how artificial intelligence acts as the ultimate mirror for human behavior, reflecting our ambitions, dependencies, and moral compromises. Rylan deliberately leaves the ultimate nature of AI open to interpretation, challenging listeners to question where the real danger lies.----SUPPORT THE BROADCASTThis podcast operates on total creative sovereignty.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts Session 12 on The Memoirs of Robert & Mabel Williams: African American Freedom, Armed Resistance, & International Solidarity. Having completed Robert F.'s portion of the memoir, this week we'll start Mabel Williams' autobiography. A recap of last week's session focused on : Goodbye Britain: After detaining Robert F. and threatening to force feed him, White Brits allowed him to return to the states on a mostly empty plane. Enforcement officials were eagerly awaiting Williams at the airport when he returned "home." Talks Without Black People: After being out of the so called country for nearly a decade, Robert F. began giving lectures about his time abroad and his views on White Supremacy. He lamented that he often faced audiences with few black people. He and Gus think this is the result of the FBI's vicious attacks against Williams and any black people who attempted to counter-Racism. Continued Death Threats: Even after the North Carolina criminal charges were dismissed, and Robert & Mabel attempted to settle into normal civilian existence, Racists continued to plot against them. Williams filed a FOIA request and discovered there was a Michigan plot to execute him. White officials foiled the murderous scheme, but neglected to inform Williams about any of this. #TheCOWS17Years #CounterRacism #UntilJustice #JeffersonAvenue #JusticeForSade #RobertFWilliams #MabelWilliams #MonroeNorthCarolina #NAACP #CounterViolence #NegroesWithGuns #MalcolmX #CIA #FOIA INVEST in The COWS!

Henry's funny, warm-hearted story narrated entirely by a put-upon little dog stuck in a fussy New York flat — first published in his 1906 collection The Four Million, long in the public domain, with Porter (1862–1910) having died more than a century ago. For more calming audiobooks and sleep stories whenever you need them, download Anchored, the free companion app to Calming Anxiety, with offline-ready relaxation and Books at Bedtime sessions for any hour of the night.Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. In this soothing bedtime audiobook, our unnamed narrator — a scruffy, opinionated yellow dog of no known pedigree — takes a shine to his henpecked, downtrodden owner, and the two of them finally strike out together for a bit of freedom.

Do you ever look back at everything you did to seem cool growing up and just have to laugh?This week I sit down with Maeve Dunigan, author of Read This to Look Cool, a memoir told in essays that had us laughing out loud on one page and completely choked up on the next. Maeve got her start writing sketch comedy in college before publishing satire in the New Yorker, and she brings that same sharp, funny voice to essays covering everything from straightening her hair within an inch of its life to a ruptured appendix at McDonald's to her deep, unwavering love of One Direction. We talked about the sad clown theory of comedy, why she considers chronic lateness a personality flaw, and how she learned that the version of herself she was always trying to be is usually just who she is when she stops trying. We also got the scoop on her already finished second book, a satirical murder mystery about a boy band trapped in a hotel with a killer in their midst. This one made us laugh so much we almost forgot how much heart it has too.Share this conversation with the friend who was also burning her hair with a straightener in high school."I'm trying not to let my insecurity muffle my curiosity." - Maeve Dunigan's essay collection READ THIS TO LOOK COOLConnect with Maeve Dunigan:https://www.maevedunigan.com@maeveduniganBooks Referenced:READ THIS TO LOOK COOL by Maeve DuniganSupport the show:Buy us a bookBuy cute merchon PatreonSubscribe on AppleSubscribe on SubstackThis episode is produced, recorded, and its content edited by me.

In this episode we answer an email from Cameron.  First, we consider the long history of consumer marketing and how the retail financial services industry fits into it, including reviewing developments in financial services business models over the past century.  In that context, we then break down why the current most popular business models are fear-based, which leads to retirement planning firms pushing “paycheck replacement,” annuities and other inefficient solutions involving buckets, ladders and flower pots.   We also discuss how AUM combined with fear-based business models leads to the biggest current problem in retirement planning -- chronic underspending, and why that is unlikely to change in the near future.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Links:Empire of Things:  Empire of Things: How We Became a World of Consumers, from the Fifteenth Century to the Twenty-First – An Epic History of Goods and the Modern Material Life: Trentmann, Frank: 9780062456328: Amazon.com: BooksPropaganda:  Bernays, Edward L.

We respond to a listener who sat through a pitch from an Atlanta-area retirement planning firm and walked away hearing the same two levers again and again: income and annuities, followed by taxes and crash fears when challenged. That's the hook for a much bigger conversation about why so much retirement advice is designed to manage anxiety instead of maximizing outcomes.We trace the roots of modern financial marketing through consumer culture and the persuasion playbook, from early propaganda techniques to the behavioral finance insights that explain how fear and incentives shape decisions. Then we map that history onto the financial services industry itself: the commission era, the loaded mutual fund era, the rise of assets under management (AUM), and today's shift toward selling “sleep well at night” reassurance. Along the way, we talk about why “income-first” retirement planning can be tax-inefficient, why liquidity and total return matter, and why bucket, ladder, and flower pot strategies often solve for feelings before they solve for math.After the big-picture rant, we bring it back to practical portfolio work. We run through the weekly market snapshot and performance across the show's diversified sample portfolios, spanning stocks, Treasury bonds, gold, commodities, managed futures, and more. We also detail an OPTRA portfolio rebalance after a long stretch without rebalancing, including exactly what we sold and bought and what the rule-based experiment is meant to reveal.Support the show

After actor, dialect coach, and teacher Amanda Quaid was diagnosed with a serious illness in 2021, she responded by trying something new — she wrote poetry. She says, “I was looking for an art form that allowed me to be with uncertainty in a beautiful way.” The result is a captivating memoir-in-poetry, No Obvious Distress, that uses words and phrases from her medical charts to create verse that rings with laughter, tears, and truth. In this conversation recorded at New York City's Morgan Library & Museum, Amanda reads from her book, and she and Pádraig Ó Tuama talk about the three principles that guided her through illness, her parenting a young child through this time, and her work with medical students, actors, and CEOs. We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes. Amanda Quaid was raised in New York City, where she works as a dialect coach. She also teaches at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale. After working in theatre for most of her life, Amanda began writing poetry as a way to work creatively with illness. Her debut collection, No Obvious Distress, is out now with John Murray Press and was named Memoir of the Month and one of the best books of 2025 by the British newspaper The Independent.
