In this episode of Just Press Record, Matt Zeigler sits down with writer and editor Dylan O'Sullivan (Essayful, Infinite Loops) for a conversation about flat vs round characters, TikTok's effect on attention, and how to develop real taste in art.Sparked by a clip from Michael Perry and Aaron Gwyn about “Bob the one-eyed beagle,” they use the idea of a fascinating flat character as a way into comedy, identity, and why some people are interesting precisely because they never change.Along the way, they dig into defamiliarization, the atrophying pull of short-form video, why some books sharpen your mind while others are pure slop, and how taste is built through reps instead of passive consumption.They also wrestle with the “ship of Theseus” question of identity, the value of being a little bit “flat” in other people's stories, and what it means to hold onto a core self while your work and life evolve.In this conversation, they get into:Bob the one-eyed beagle and why some “flat” characters are endlessly fascinatingFlat vs round characters in fiction, comedy, and shows like Fawlty Towers and Breaking BadDefamiliarization: making the grocery store, a stone, or your street feel strange and vivid againTikTok, Instagram Reels, and how constant novelty can atrophy imagination and attentionGood art vs bad art: why not all reading is automatically “good for you”Taste as reps: consuming lots of books, music, and comedy to train intuition and judgmentThe ship of Theseus, identity, and the small kernel of self that doesn't changeLying to yourself, media shame, and moving from atrophy to growth in what you consumeTimestamps:00:00 Intro and setup of the episode04:54 Dylan O'Sullivan on writing and stepping away from short-form content09:19 Why some characters are interesting because they never change13:00 Comedy, tragedy, and the appeal of predictable personalities16:00 Defamiliarization and seeing the world with fresh eyes20:19 Reading vs. short-form content and the structure of attention24:54 Passive consumption vs. meaningful engagement with art28:27 What makes simple stories and humor powerful32:00 Good art, emotional response, and developing taste35:00 The role of repetition and experience in shaping taste38:47 Intuition, self-awareness, and the dangers of passive consumption41:45 Identity, storytelling, and being “flat” or “round” in different contextsIf you want, I can tighten this further for CTR (slightly sharper opening hook + more algorithm-heavy phrasing in the first two sentences).

Bruce Harnett of Kernock Park Plants, Megan Green of Hayloft Plants and Yvonne Marquenie of Plants & Flowers Foundation Holland joined HortWeek new plants writer Mr Plant Geek Michael Perry on a panel at IPM Essen to discuss how the horticulture industry should understand today's plant consumer.They discussed: 1. The peat-free and sustainability dilemmaThe transition to peat-free media remains the industry's most "hot-button" issue, particularly in the UK.Kernock Park Plants (KPP) went 100% peat-free in 2024 and Bruce Harnett says that sustainability (biomass, water self-sufficiency) is a moral choice, even if the "commercial advantage" is currently unclear.Panellists agreed that, for consumers to fully switch, peat-free media must be equal to or better than peat. Currently, some "staunch" growers still believe peat performs superiorly.But while sustainability is a growing concern many consumers still "turn a blind eye" when price is a factor.2. Innovation vs. "Trust Erosion"Should the industry stop introducing new plants? The consensus: Innovation must have purpose.KPP uses a rigorous trials process to ensure only "the best of the best" hit the market. Introducing novelty without value leads to "trust erosion."Plants like Salvia ‘Hot Lips', Lavender ‘Hidcote', and standard Rosemary remain dominant because they are reliable. Consumers value the "tried and tested" for mail-order success."TikTok Plants": Novelties like the TomTato or "family" apple trees resonate with younger, online audiences, but the industry must distinguish between viral aesthetics and long-term garden performance.3. Multi-platform marketingThe panel discuss approaches and strenghts of different platforms:YouTube: ideal for practical "how-to" guides.Instagram/Pinterest: use aspirational/inspirational imagery.Facebook: focus on community and storytellingMeanwhile Matthew Perry raises concerns about influencers who focus on garden aesthetics rather than plant health. The panel stresses the need for authentic voices over "unattainable" glossy imagery.And Megan Green says that, for Hayloft, 75% of business is now online, though the physical catalogue remains a valued tactile experience for a core demographic.4. The "Holy Grail" of 'engagement'Green highlights the power of visual merchandising—linking the plant, compost, and pot in one display to remove customer friction.QR codes on labels and improved storytelling are seen as the "Holy Grail" for garden centres to provide info at the point of purchase.Research shows search behavior is often driven by nostalgia (especially in herbs) and the desire to care for others (gifting).5. Reaching the Next GenerationYounger consumers represent the future but are the hardest to recruit due to a lack of gardening space and lower spending power. Engaging them requires shifting from a "critical" focus to a "positive attitude" shift, making gardening feel attainable rather than a luxury chore.In summary, the industry must balance the marketing "pull" of new varieties with the "push" of sustainable production, ensuring that every new introduction builds consumer trust through reliability and climate resilience.

In this episode of Just Press Record, host Matt Zeigler brings together two writers from very different worlds who discover how much they actually share. Author and musician Michael Perry and writer and professor Aaron Gwynn connect over farm life, physical labor, creative discipline, and the unlikely paths that led them to writing books.

What happens when a shy farm kid from rural Wisconsin who never dreamed of being a writer becomes one of America's most beloved storytellers? Michael Perry joins Infinite Loops to share his remarkable journey from cleaning calf pens to pitching scripts at Universal Studios, all while maintaining his day job as a volunteer firefighter and EMT in his hometown. This conversation is a masterclass in authentic storytelling, practical wisdom, and the power of staying true to your roots while navigating an industry that often values credentials over character. Perry shares unforgettable stories about turning down Oprah (yes, really), why he sells hundreds of books to "people who don't read" at firefighter conventions, and how his nursing background taught him the most important skill for any writer: human assessment. We explore his philosophy of "kindness is not weakness," the difference between cash and cachet, and why sometimes the best career move is knowing when not to move at all. Whether you're a writer, entrepreneur, or simply someone who believes in the power of authentic storytelling, this episode will remind you that sometimes the best way forward is to embrace your own improbable path and never stand behind a sneezing cow. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

ST (@MikeMont662) delivers a scorching exposé of Penn and Perry and True 2 Life, organizations he claims are operating as criminal enterprises while masquerading as community saviors.The conversation delves deep into the troubling allegations that these taxpayer-funded programs are led by individuals who actively incentivize violence rather than prevent it. ST details shocking instances where staff members allegedly received "raises" after physically assaulting him, suggesting a disturbing pattern of rewarded aggression within organizations publicly dedicated to peace. He doesn't hold back when describing Michael Perry as "a snake" who manipulates others to do his dirty work while maintaining a pristine public image.Perhaps most concerning are ST's claims about the organizations' relationships with law enforcement. He describes a system where certain members operate with apparent police protection, allowing them to intimidate witnesses and engage in criminal activity without fear of consequences. These allegations raise serious questions about accountability and the true mission of these community groups.The episode also explores personal histories and street politics, painting a complex picture of loyalty, betrayal, and the blurred lines between community work and criminal enterprise. ST shares his own attempts at peace talks with organization leaders, only to be rebuffed and later assaulted—incidents he claims went unpunished due to police connections.This conversation serves as a powerful reminder that genuine community safety requires transparency and honest assessment. By exposing what he sees as corruption within violence prevention efforts, ST challenges listeners to look beyond public personas and examine the real impact these organizations have on the communities they claim to serve.Check out our new LFTG hoodies on the website LFTGradio.com and follow for more unfiltered truth about what's really happening on Staten Island's streets.Support the showSubscribe to our YouTube @LFTGRadio and check out the website LFTGRadio.com for live updates!

Get ready for an episode full of production value as we get nostalgic with JJ Abrams and SUPER 8 - the 70s set sci-fi drama following a group of kids making their own movie in their backyard, and happen to stumble on a government conspiracy involving an escaped extra-terrestrial being. We welcome back returning guests Daniel Kelly and Michael Perry, re-assembling the team that once made up our student radio show Close-Up on RAW 1251AM, fittingly looking at a movie that was released the summer before we all met for the very first time. We dig into its value as a nostalgic artefact; a film looking back and directly homaging Amblin of old, and how successful Abrams is at approximating that Spielberg-vibe while also trying to deliver something that feels like it comes from the heart, as well as assessing its place in the early 2010s blockbuster landscape. We also resurrect a old feature from our Close-Up days to give you some further viewing recommendations.

Michael Perry is a Wisconsin-born author, volunteer firefighter, and former nurse who's spent his life mastering the art of storytelling, often about his own hilarious misadventures. Which is a prerequisite for being a guest on our podcast! We dive into deer hunting as a New Year's ritual, being an outsider in hunting culture, and what it's like hauling a buck out in a rebuilt 1951 International pickup. Michael might've been the only Wyoming cowboy putting himself through nursing school. It's a reminder that the best hunting stories aren't always about deer but the perfectly okay people behind them.

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” – Jane Goodall Welcome to our final episode of 2024! This is the first of two 'from the vault' episodes we'll be publishing during the holiday season; the second will be out on 7th January. If you're a parent, you'll know that keeping your family happy, your house organized, and your own stress levels down is almost impossible... However, our guest today is on a mission to solve that problem once and for all. Michael Perry is the founder and CEO of tech startup Maple, an acronym for Make All Parents Lives Easier. After becoming a father in 2020, Michael launched Maple as a free mobile app to change the world of parenting and have your home running like a well-oiled machine. Already, Maple has partnered with more than 70 brands and has more than 80,000 users in the US and Canada alone. Michael is also extremely open about his struggles with anxiety and negative self-talk, which is certainly refreshing in the world of filters and facades. In this episode: • The biggest contributors to household stress and conflict • How to balance business with family • The biggest mistakes parents make (and how to fix them) • How you can use technology to bring more happiness into the home.

Maple app founder, CEO, and dad of two Michael Perry offers up his refreshing P.O.V. on navigating fertility challenges, supporting one's partner through IVF and pregnancy, parenthood, his profound gratitude for science and community, the outdated division of labor within American households, and his lifelong dedication to making parenting easier through technology. Tabria gets the scoop on how Maple streamlines the co-parenting experience and creates a more equitable and fair division of labor at home, how nothing can deter Michael from walking his 5-year-old son to school everyday, the need to dismantle the stigma around taking paternity leave and advocate for moms, jaw-dropping statistics, and lots more.Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

"What other art form do two people get to collaborate at that level?" "One of the beautiful things about tattooing to me also is like seeing the evolution of what you're doing like any other art form but add into it the trust of the human allowing you to experiment on their body." "I feel like things just in general in society are kind of like splitting and becoming more polar opposite." "We're a fully mature industry. And like any mature industry, visibility and marketability are now essential." "That not giving a fuck thing, good luck. Good luck with that."
