“If I'm developing a recipe for a client, or for my own books, I'm all about people telling me what they think about it, what it invokes for them, what they would do differently,” notes New York Times best-selling cookbook author Adeena Sussman about the collaborative nature of preparing recipes for readers. If there's anybody who knows what it means work in partnership in the kitchen, it's Adeena Sussman—the co-author of 15 books, including the best-selling Cravings series written in collaboration with model and television personality Chrissy Teigen. Adeena is also the co-author of The Sprinkles Baking Book, written with Candace Nelson, the noted pastry chef and founder of Sprinkles cupcakes. Adeena's latest solo book, Shabbat: Recipes and Rituals from My Table to Yours, celebrating (and reimagining!) the traditional foods that have long graced her family's Shabbat table, became an immediate best-seller upon publication in September 2023. The book is a follow-up to Adeena's 2019 cookbook Sababa, named one of the best cookbooks of the year by The New York Times, Bon Appetit, and Food & Wine. A lifelong visitor to Israel who has been writing about that country's food culture for almost twenty years, Adeena lives, cooks, and writes in Tel Aviv, in the shadow of that city's famed Carmel Market.

'I regard my seventh book, Curlews on Vulture Street ... as my first real writing. You know, this is the one I'm most proud of. It was the biggest challenge and the one I enjoyed the most.' Urban ecologist and noted bird guy Darryl Jones joins us to share his transition from popular science to narrative nonfiction writer.    Darryl discusses the importance of having a beginner's mindset, what life is like now that he's a full-time writer, buried treasure, and his experience of living with Parkinson's. And of course we talk birds! Should you feed the birds in Australia? Do rainbow lorikeets eat mince? Plus, our special bonus guest – the eastern koel that lives outside Ashley's window and has been shrieking her awake at 5 am every morning!    Darryl Jones is a Professor of Ecology at Griffith University in Brisbane, where for over 30 years he has been investigating the many ways people and wildlife interact. He is particularly interested in why some species are extremely successful in urban landscapes, and how best to deal with the ensuing conflicts. More recently, he has been trying to understand more about the humans that also live in cities in large numbers, and how they engage with nature. This has led him into the strange and fascinating world of wild bird feeding. He is the author of several books, including 'The Birds at My Table', 'Feeding the Birds at Your Table', and his latest, 'Curlews on Vulture Street'.

In the gladiatorial arena of film direction, where women have often been treated as invisible, New Zealand auteur Jane Campion has blazed a pioneering trail. The first woman to win the Palme d'Or for The Piano, and the second to ever be nominated for a directing Oscar, Campion's latest triumph is The Power of the Dog, inspired by Thomas Savage's 1967 novel of the same name. Winning her a legion of awards, including a Venice Silver Lion, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, an Academy Award and a Critics Choice Award, it's a powerful exploration of toxic masculinity, and of love, grief and sexuality – all themes that she has explored in a potent body of work that also includes Sweetie, Holy Smoke, An Angel at My Table, Top of the Lake, Bright Star and In the Cut. Returning home, she joins Noelle McCarthy in conversation to discuss her artistic inheritances, guiding principles and preoccupations. Supported by Platinum Patrons Pip Muir & Kit Toogood.

Sermon Theme - Come, Sit at My Table! Scriptures to read along with this message....   2 Samuel 9:1-13 (sermon verses) Come, Sit at My Table! David had no reason to show kindness, and every reason to show vengeance. But what a great surprise Mephibosheth received from the king! I Corinthians 9:7-12, 19-23 Come, Sit at My Table! Being "all things to all people" is terribly difficult! It's essential to stay humble, keep listening, and spotlight Christ. Mark 10:32-45 Come, Sit at My Table! James and John wanted earthly glory. The other disciples wanted the same and were indignant with the two brothers! But Jesus was so different - here to serve, and not be served.   We hope you enjoy this message!

Director Julia Ducournau wants to shake her audience to the core. And she more or less accomplished that feat - for Josh, anyway - with her 2016 debut "Raw." Her latest, TITANE, falls into several genre categories—body horror, revenge picture, deeply black comedy—none of which quite prepare you for the experience of watching it. While Ducournau proves herself a filmmaker of great talent, Adam and Josh debate whether the 2021 Palme d'Or winner has much to offer beyond its many unexpected and provocative twists. They take their review into overtime with some Spoiler Talk about some of the movie's more ambiguous moments.

It's been a big week for New Zealand TV director Jessica Hobbs following her breakthrough Emmy win for her work on The Crown. The London-based filmmaker was born into the industry, having joined her mum, director Aileen O'Sullivan, on set for a role in local mini-series The Governor as a child. After becoming an assistant director on films like Dame Jane Campion's An Angel at My Table, Hobbs went on to Australia, where she directed shows like Heartbreak High and The Slap, which got her invited to the UK to work on Broadchurch. The rest, as they say, is history. Jessica's Calling Home this morning.

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” – Paulo Coelho  No one enjoys failing, but failure is an inherent part of being human, trying new things, and growing. If the fear of failure stops you from chasing your dreams, that’s a problem. So how do we reframe the way we think about failure, and use it as a tool to ultimately achieve more?  Today’s guest, Laila Ali, has a refreshing perspective on failure, following your heart, and creating your own unique path to health and success.

Laila’s story is a powerful testament to what you can accomplish if you are driven, focused, and committed. I hope this episode serves as a reminder of how innately and uniquely powerful you are. Enjoy!  In this episode you’ll discover: How Laila became passionate about boxing. Why Laila’s father actually discouraged her from becoming a professional boxer. The importance of following your heart, even when others disagree. Why not fearing failure is a superpower.

SHOW NOTES:We chat with Chris Graham  director  born in Wellington, and raised in Wellington, Bangkok, and Canada's capital city of Ottawa. We talk about his rise and development in the streets of 90 New York City and walk through his long screenography with New Zealand Hip Hop Video Clips.Graham is also one of the country's most awarded music video directors, with 11 awards over a six year span, including a trio of Tui awards for Smashproof's 'Brother', Dei Hamo's 'We Gon' Ride' & Scribe's 'Stand Up'. In 2018 he was nominated again, for Louis Baker video Black Crow. Graham made his music video debut in the United States with "Wild Out' for hip hop artists Savage & Baby Bash, before shooting 'Love the Islands' for Savage across the Samoan Islands.Graham's short films include Bus Stop (2002 Melbourne Film Festival) and Water, in which a family find their home overcome by rising waters. Bus Stop, which Graham wrote and directed, follows a group of bus passengers thinking upon their lives. Black comedy Water  competed at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. Graham argued that it was about how people can procrastinate "with our lives, relationships and problems". He has also completed a 42 second film commissioned by Vodka brand 42 Below, for short film festival 'One Dream Rush'.  Graham has an affinity for Māori and Pacific Island artists, and has directed award-winning music videos for Tha Feelstyle (Su'Amalie) and Trinity Roots (Little Things). He admits part of his motivation to direct Sione's Wedding, his first feature film, was because it starred The Naked Samoans, a group of Pacific Island comedians. "As a cinemagoer, I was dying to see a New Zealand comedy and leave the theatre with a bounce in my step, in a good mood, feeling optimistic about life."After an impressive opening weekend, Sione's Wedding went on to become the fourth highest grossing New Zealand film on its home territory. It was nominated for 10 NZ Screen Awards, including Best Film and Best Director.Graham followed it with horror feature The Ferryman, in which a group of tourists on a South Pacific cruise encounter a mysterious man with a secret (played by English actor John Rhys-Davies, from The Lord of the Rings).

I’m sharing some of the clairaudient phenomena I experience. It’s actually not always that clear at all. This episode is a shout out to a client I did a reading for this week who engaged me to help her decipher the messages she’s receiving in the form of music with song lyrics.These are not recognizable existing songs — hers are original.And in talking with her, I employed a lot of the same tools we use in the Automatic Intuition program, because I think ultimately, she has a channel of information emerging, and she’s learning how to work with that.So, I thought I would attempt to de-mystify some clairaudient phenomena and experiences by diving deep into describing some of my own.I know that my talking about it can help you locate it within yourself.MENTIONED ON THE SHOWAn Angel at My Table film about Janet FrameFrances film about Frances FarmerThe Hours film partly about Virginia WoolfIris film about Iris MurdochHOST LINKS - SLADE ROBERSONSlade's Books & CoursesGet an intuitive reading with SladeAutomatic IntuitionSUPPORT THE SHOWpatreon.com/shiftyourspiritsEdit your pledge on Patreon

Terry Gilliam's adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's acclaimed memoir is a diatribe against Nixonian America, account of a motorcycle race, drug travelogue, and only now the kind of advertisement that the Las Vegas chamber of commerce could get behind.  But it's really the story of Thompson's proxy Raoul Duke's (played by Johnny Depp channeling a sort of mumbly Jim Carrey) desperately trying to channel the destructive energy of his drug buddy/lawyer Dr. Gonzo (played by Benicio del Toro channeling some kind of potbellied, vomit soaked, sweat demon.)  So it's funny. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Jane Campion's An Angel at My Table (1990) with special guest host's AJ and Richard of Cult Popture. 

You Will Always Eat at My Table | 2 Samuel 9 | Journey of Faith Church | Pastor Jung Lee | 3.15.20

Lafayette native Jim Gossen has been immersed in the seafood industry since the early 1970s when he began picking up and selling Gulf seafood out of the back of his pickup truck to source fresh seafood for Landry's Restaurants. His hands-on experience and relationship building over the past few decades have given Jim an up-close understanding of the challenges facing the fisherman who captain the seafood industry and what it will take to pass on the tools for business survival to the next generation of fisherman. His message is clear: the Gulf Seafood industry must have a unified voice and be innovative as it adapts to changing circumstances if it is to remain viable for future generations. In this episode of Discover Lafayette with Jan Swift, Jim Gossen shares his love of the seafood industry, provides an historical overview of how consumers' tastes and demand for seafood has evolved, and explains why he believes Louisiana's fisherman can successfully compete globally by focusing on the quality of their superior product as compared with other country's cheaper and inferior seafood offerings. Jim Gossen's dedication to the seafood industry led him to great success as a restauranteur, seafood processor, manufacturer and distributor of fresh Louisiana seafood. In the early days of his initial business, Creole Foods, Jim drove his own 18-wheeler to source and deliver shrimp and red snapper. Creole Foods quickly evolved into a successful business renamed Louisiana Foods, a global seafood endeavor that Jim sold to Sysco in 2012. He served as Chair of the board of Sysco until his recent retirement. Jim currently serves as Chair of the Gulf Seafood Foundation, which promotes Gulf seafood, tourism, and culture. He also owns Jimmy G's by the Houston airport and Louisiana Catering, an oil-related catering business. A recipient of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Gulf Guardian Award for his work in promoting the use and sale of by-catch (seafood such as Cobia or Triggerfish caught unintentionally while hauling in fishing nets that can be sold to restaurants), he has also been recognized by "My Table’s Legends of the Industry, Southern Living’s Heroes of the New South Awards, and is one of Cooking Light’s 20 Food Heroes in America. While today's restaurant menu typically offers salmon, crabcakes, and a variety of fish dishes, it wasn't always so. When Jim entered the distribution business in the early 1970's and moved to Houston, seafood was not a staple on menus. No one knew what Creole meant, no one knew what crawfish was. In fact, when Jim drove his fresh seafood offerings to Houston, he also carted along Community Coffee, Barq's Rootbeer, Camellia Red Beans, tasso, Veron's Andouille Sausage, and New Orleans' Leidenheimer French Bread, all of which were unknown commodities outside of Louisiana. They quickly became hits in the cowboy market of Houston and beyond.....as did Jim Gossen. At the age of 30, Jim Gossen on one of his trips to pick up food products along with fish, shrimp and oysters in Louisiana. Photo Gossen Archives Over the years, tastes have changed and the manner in which seafood is sourced has also changed dramatically. In the 1980s, restaurant patrons feasted on Speckled Trout and Redfish. Both of these fishes were made popular by Chef Paul Prudhomme and his "blackened" seafood dishes. No one could have imagined how fast the popularity of these dishes would take off worldwide and the fish became scarce due to high consumer demand. Limits were placed upon the catch of speckled trout and redfish and now they are only accessible by the recreational fishermen in the region. China and other countries, however, have been willing to step in and meet the demand for affordable and accessible seafood. "Our Gulf seafood industry has been forced to compete on price, It is time to stop competing on price and instead compete on quality." Jim Gossen Photo by Ed Lallo

I share my perceptions and concepts as a way for you to compare them to your own. To de-mystify psychic phenomena and experiences. To embrace not only the ways in which you might recognize yourself in what I’m describing, but also the ways in which in you’re different. Talking about it can help others locate it within themselves. MENTIONED ON THE SHOW An Angel at My Table film about Janet Frame Frances film about Frances Farmer The Hours film partly about Virginia Woolf Iris film about Iris Murdoch HOST LINKS - SLADE ROBERSON Slade's Books & Courses Get an intuitive reading with Slade Automatic Intuition FACEBOOK GROUP Shift Your Spirits Community BECOME A PATRON patreon.com/shiftyourspirits Edit your pledge on Patreon TRANSCRIPT Doing what the voices in your head tell you to. It’s THE #1 disparaging joke you hear all the time that might sometimes be referring to phenomena we would categorize as clairaudience. So, har har. In a lot of cases, hearing voices is synonymous with the absolute deepest depths of mental illness. It was the one thing through my teens and twenties that kept me from ever, ever acknowledging the psychic phenomena I experienced. I feared being committed against my will. I don't fear it so much lately but it's still a fear that I can access if I needed to. Like, I could drag that out and be like, yeah, I remember what it feels like to worry about that and I can see how I can put myself in a situation where everything could go horribly wrong. It's more of a horror movie screen playing out in my mind than actual real anxiety. But when I was younger, there was definitely a real fear. And then growing up there were all these movies about voices and craziness, and a lot of times they were about authors. There was a movie in 1990 called An Angel at my Table that was about the New Zealander poet Janet Frame who was committed at the time that she won her country's highest literary honor. Obviously it's been 30 years since I've seen that movie, but there are a few images that haunt me. Like, I remember them bringing her a volume of her work that had just been published in hardcover and wanting her to sign it, to autograph it. She was heavily sedated in a mental ward and didn't really.. it wasn't even conscious of the fact that her book had just come out and that was like, the first time she held it. And it won the equivalent of a Pulitzer or a Booker. And there was another scene where they put her in a padded cell and she literally writes poetry on the walls of the padded cell. That's how much she needed to get those words out. And then there was a movie Jessica Lange starred in in the 80s about Frances Farmer, who was famously lobotomized basically for being too willful and outspoken for a woman in the 1950s. She was sort of a political activist I guess, or would've been by today's standards. Nobody plays crazy like Jessica Lange, by the way. I mean it's a great performance. But yeah, that feeds into all your horrors about being committed against your will, medicated, and then it all unravels, right? You lose your agency. You literally lose your rights as an adult. Of course, Virginia Woolf, who is one of my hugest literary heroes in the whole world, who was famously so depressed for so long that she finally walked into the river with stones in her pockets. Gotta been hearing that story since I was in junior high school. And it's been dramatized in a lot of different places and shared and reshared. Most recently, Nicole Kidman's performance in the Hours, which is an incredible performance and a great movie. But again, all this stuff about these people going nuts, especially writers. After I watched the movie Iris, which was Judi Dench starred as Iris Murdoch who lost the faculty for words. She was technically suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's, so it wasn't craziness necessarily, but they did very distinctly dramatize the fact that this woman who was known for her phenomenal vocabulary literally lost her ability to access words slowly and was conscious that it was happening to her as an author. This is like the worst horror ever. I get it. It's Sophie's Choice. It's these amazingly emotionally triggering dramatizations that happen in movies, but I just, at that point, was like, you know what? I'm never watching another movie about an author suffering from mental illness, addiction, alcoholism, nothing. Just forget it. Ever. Why are there so many of those anyway? There are too many! But back to hearing voices. Conversing with them. Listening to what they say. Talking back to them. Asking them questions. I do it in my car all the time. We stare at crazy people who do it in the streets who are homeless and obviously suffering maybe from schizophrenia or something like that. It's something that we've all witnessed. I doubt I look anything like that in my car. As a matter of fact, I think I probably look like I'm just talking on hands-free. But I am aware of the connection there. It does always make me wonder, well who are they talking to? What are they saying? Because it depends on which voices. They do seem to be arguing and there are combative situations going on so that is not what we practice around here, as far as accessing clairaudient intuition, chanelling, automatic writing, mediumship. All these things are not about screaming at invisible assailants. Hearing voices and doing what they tell you to do could be a really helpful thing. Again, depending on the voice: the still small voice within you that I think we all can find a conceptual space for in our consciousness the voice of the spirit angels, spirit guides the deceased, people who have passed on, your ancestors your conscience. Some of those are accessible by anyone. Some of them are deeply woo woo. And none of them are crazy, by the way. None of those things are mental illness, and I honestly today don't fear that if I went to a therapist and spoke to them the way I'm speaking to you right now that I'd be committed. I think we'd have an understanding about the phenomenon that I'm talking about. And I would have no problem placing this within a purely clinical context and talking about archetypes and programming and kind of the different channels of the mind and consciousness. It doesn't have to be woo woo for me. Or it can be. Sometimes it depends on who I'm talking to. I'm not going to correct anyone who tells me that their message came from their guide or from one of their guardians or someone who tells me it comes from a muse. I never question how other people choose to label their voices but I do like to offer the concept of labelling and categorizing and analyzing to everyone and I offer my own little compartmentalizations for people to borrow and use as a starter kit if they're new to this. Then there are those external voices that become programmed as your own. Those are the really troublesome ones. They're just as insidious as invisible people who are following you and out to get you. They're dangerous because they're something that you heard, that you picked up from someone else and took on, and have been accessing and repeating on a loop, on an internal mental loop, for so long that you probably have forgotten the original source, the voice itself has morphed over time to impersonate your own inner voices. Like, your own internal voice of yourself. Negative, self-sabotaging critical voices, someone telling you about yourself you chose to believe. You may have chose to believe it because you didn't know any better, or you were a child, or you were bullied, or you were afraid. There are a lot of different reasons why you would choose to take that on. But it is a choice, even if it was kind of forced on you. And it is something that you can get rid of later. If nothing else, you can learn to access and acknowledge, okay wait a minute, where's that voice coming from? Who is that? That sounds like something my mother said to me a really long time ago. Oh yeah, I remember now where that came from, therefore when I hear that come up again, I can dismiss it. No, not listening to you. I know who you are. Sit down and go shut up. So there's all of that, within the concepts of clairaudience and hearing voices. There's also a question of internal source versus external. For the sake of separating what comes from within versus what comes from outside… I use a big box for the voices coming from within. To me, it's all a bit like being logged onto some network of information. It’s different than the voices I might create. For instance, the notes I’m writing down here to speak to you from, the character dialog in fiction, although sometimes, some of that is a little bit channelled in a way that overlaps and many authors will have the experience of having books dictated to them or have fictional characters they invented take over on the page and run the story. And there's a spectrum of how that's viewed. A lot of creative people who don't view that as a psychic phenomenon nevertheless still view it as a magical creative experience. And a lot of people will acknowledge that happening to them and simply think of it as a profound mystery of the artistic process. I know Alice Walker famously said that the Color Purple was dictated to her. She heard the voice of that character and basically transcribed it. And I have that experience writing character. Sometimes that's the initial impulse to write fiction. To give an example of this internal versus external thing, so there’s a song you’re humming this morning because it’s been used on a commercial you keep seeing on TV. T-Mobile or whatever has had this commercial on for a month and you've heard it every day and now you're singing it in the shower. That’s external. You can identify where that came from. But then there are songs that come untriggerred, unbidden, they surface from the subconscious like this silent Spotify within your brain. The Spotify radio station that's on shuffle and it pulls things up that are stored in the mind. But it's still coming up internally. It's not triggered by something external like hearing it on the radio. You may not have heard it in years. Actual real songs I'm talking about, from artists who created and recorded them externally. At some point you have downloaded them. Maybe you burned the album out on repeat when it came out years ago and you haven't heard it in a long time but sometimes it might resurface. One of those songs will come to you. I do read that experience these as intuitive. Just the same way that you read a feather on the ground, or a number on a license plate, or a digital display, or finding a playing card on the ground and interpreting it as a Tarot message. All those kinds of things. I read music that comes internally that way, especially snatches of lyrics because you'll notice when this happens, when you get like an earwig, a song stuck in your head that came from nowhere, it's a particular snatch of lyrics that is looping. It's not the whole song from start to finish, intro to fade out. It's usually one or two parts that you keep looping over and over again. So one of the best things you can do is either stop and really speak those words outside the melody as if it is just a message written down on a piece of paper, or actually write it down and see it in print. They look different on paper. They sound different when they're spoken not sung, and sometimes that will help you have an aha moment about what is that saying? Sometimes it's really literal. I keep saying this thing to myself over and over and over again, and I didn't realize it's a message! Now where it's a message from... Maybe it's your guides triggering it. Maybe it's your Higher Self pulling it out and waving it in front of you. Maybe it's some other kind of mechanism. Maybe you've been asking a question and it's your subconscious just kind of retrieving that from some internal library and presenting it as an answer, but it comes in the form of music. You know, music happens in a different part of the brain than spoken language and reading and all that kind of stuff. We listen to a lot of music and we learn a lot of music by heart in a way that people used to learn and recite poetry. You watch those historical films and TV shows and there are people wandering around in the garden reading from a book of verse and they can recite this stuff off the top of their heads and I always thought, damn! But I think the modern equivalent of that is me being able to bust out a Missy Elliot rap from 2004 at any given moment just because I've heard it a million times and it's stored in my brain, right? So it's kind of like that. So the first thing you want to do is say, hey, you know what? If this was a telegram, is it a message? And maybe the next thing you ask, what emotions come with that song? What emotions are attached to it? What feelings is it invoking or dragging with it? Maybe it's the context of when the song first entered your consciousness. Something about the time and place of your personal history. What was going on in your world when that song came out, that kind of thing? So maybe the message isn't the song. Maybe the message is about you returning to something from that time period. Was there something going on then that you need to reconsider, pull back out, reconnect with. I remember as a kid or maybe a pre-teen or something, overhearing adults talking about Barbra Streisand claiming that she hears music. I don't know if this was being repeated anecdotally, or if there'd been some 60 Minutes interview or something had happened at that time that they were talking about it. I just remember overhearing it. I understood that what they were saying was that she had made some claim that she hears music within. Psychically. Internally. Of course, even though she’s a vocalist, she’s not necessarily a composer right? I don't even know that she writes a lot of her music necessarily. I think she is primarily a vocalist, but claims to hear music all the time. Now I am neither a singer or a composer, but I remember when I overheard that, my first thought, because I heard the adults’s wonder and the skepticism and how intrigued they were by the concept, the judgments there were probably all varied and mixed, but I remember wanting to say “I hear music too.” But I didn’t. Because I feared what that might be admitting to. And at the time, you have to remember, for years, as a teenager, you’re hearing things like this and thinking, “OH SHIT. What if I’m insane? What if these are early stages of what we see with the person arguing with the invisible assailant on the street?” It's kind of not unlike being gay. The psychic closet. As a really young child, I would get up late at night and I would go and find my Daddy because he usually stayed up later than anyone else watching TV. He's a famous insomniac. I would go and find him and tell him that I couldn't turn my brain off. It was like someone left a TV and a radio station on in a crowded airport terminal. I was just laying there listening to everything. I think a lot of that was probably partly anxiety, for sure. But I would cry, just totally frustrated and say, I can’t stop thinking. I can't stop thinking. I really felt like, as a child when you were told, okay it's time to go to sleep, go to bed, turn down the light, go to sleep, that you should be able to willfully choose to be unconscious. To just turn yourself off. And remember, I'm not a big dreamer. So it wasn't about even dreaming for me. Dreaming probably would've been a little bit too close to what I was already experiencing, so I just wanted to be shut down like artificial intelligence, being put to sleep and then restarted in the morning. That's what I wanted. I couldn't have that and it drove me nuts. I think about all this this because of my nephew, who's 2 1/2, has these kind of night terrors where he's just completely inconsolable. I definitely think that that is anxiety. So I was talking about that with my mother and my dad at my 50th birthday dinner, which was actually the night after my birthday because my nephew and my brother were here on my birthday and the next night I went out just with my parents and my stepmother. That sort of started the conversation about this anxiety experienced as kids and I brought up to my dad, reminding him about how I was when I was little, how that manifested for me as this information that wouldn’t turn off. Of course, everyone has thoughts that keep them up at night. But I bet most of those worries about THEIR actual lives. Their identifiable triggers. They're worried about their kids. They're worried about their job. They're worried about bills. Their bank account. That kind of stuff. And then there is anxiety about existential stuff. The world going to hell, anxiety about death, or what happens when we die? The end of the earth, global extinction events. The very actual reality that one day the sun will swallow the entire system of planets around this part of the universe. Stuff like that. That’s probably still all anxiety by the way and it's part of the human condition - to worry about all those things. But I’m talking about information that has no life triggers, has no external source, has no evidence meaning you can't say, Yeah, that’s a Bing Crosby song. Like you can't. Something else... I went into more detail with my mother about what I experienced a few days ago. She made some other comment about some celebrity or some medium on TV or someone talking about experiencing internal hearing of voices and music and information. She was maybe prompting me to explain the phenomena to her, somewhat like I’m trying to do now. It was a different conversation but part of our conversation was me very bluntly describing how I hear so much more than voices. The voices are a job unto themselves — cataloguing them, labelling, learning to police some, reframe others, block a lot of them, suppress some. And then also to call them in, to invoke them. That’s all the clairaudient intuition stuff and the work of being an intuitive. Every day kind of practice producing. And i'm not even mentioning the rabbit hole of listening in for a CLIENT, and wondering, am I hearing their thoughts, is it their guides I'm hearing, is that considered external, or am I receiving that information internally, through the network, the psychic internet, through the records? That’s a separate show. I think there might even be some of that in the Automatic Intuition audio programming. I hear music all the time. Orchestral, symphonies. movie scores, opera in multiple languages — italian, french, german. I hear musicals in english. I don't even like musicals. I don't consider them musicals but there are some that play in my brain that no one else has even heard Not external music that exists somewhere in the world. Imagined music. Received from another dimension it seems. Just to give you an example, I hear songs from a German Children’s show — I sing these to my cats, just to be silly. Because I actually think it's sort of funny and annoying, the way Teletubbies are funny and annoying and haunting. I hear advertising jingles for products that just don’t even remotely exist. I hear pop songs, country music songs, singers voices that are identifiable to me. I don't know who they are, I don't have names for them but I recognize the voices. But I can't tell you if they're actual, real people somewhere. Maybe they're somewhere on the other side of the country and there really is this person who's singing all these songs and maybe I'm picking up on them somehow. Or they're coming from an alternate reality. Or they're coming from some deep well of my imagination that I can't even explain. Let’s just call all of that my psychic Spotify account. I have songs and lyrics and all those snatches of the kinds of things that you end up humming… but they just don’t exist in this world that I'm aware of. I’m used it to. I catch myself singing a rock song from a band that’s never existed. A song I’ve been singing for years. And if I think about it really hard sometimes, I can even identify when it came through internally, on this internal station. Like wow, you know what? That's been in my internal station now since I was in college or something. And a lot of the songs that I did write when I was in college and when I was in a band and sort of writing music. I did attempt to pull from those, and so then that even further solidified them because then they became something external. And I still sing them as if they're real songs, because they are now. The commercial jingles were interesting because they will last for months and it seems like they have a shelf life that's very similar to real commercial runs. They'll run for several weeks or several months and then kind of fade away and you don't hear them again. I hear old black and white movie songs that sound like maybe they're from the 1930s when almost everything on the radio came from a movie—pop music back then was kind of like MTV in reverse. And that’s why you hear all these people with less than stellar voices from back then and you think, Why was that such a huge hit? This person can barely carry a tune. It's just an ordinary voice. A lot of times they were actors who sang a song in a film. Hollywood movies, even that weren't really considered full blown musicals, even though there were a lot of them, would sometimes have some kind of song built in to them. Seth and I share earwigs and the phenomenon of song synchronicities, especially things that are chosen by shuffle. You're in your iTunes library or now it's even bigger and more vast with Spotify and Pandora and stuff like that. We call that the ghost in the machine and we have an ongoing kind of conversation about that. And we can always add to it and share little moments as they happen. I messaged him the other day that my earwig of the day was Cher’s cover of Journey’s Open Arms — Cher has never covered that song that I know of. But she should. Because I heard it very clearly for about 36 hours and I was thinking, this is a Cher cover! I heard it in my mind as if Cher had recorded Journey's Open Arms and I've got it stuck in my brain. I hear mashups a lot too. I kind of think that probably people who make mashups obviously experience this phenomenon. But I was wondering out loud to my mother, if i had been trained to play piano at a really early age, would I be able to sit down and write all this music? I can pick out a simple melody out on a guitar or a piano and I can read sheet music. I played a few different instruments here and there throughout different parts of my life, but I don’t know how to write all the different instruments in a symphony or in an orchestra, even though I can hear them, I don't understand that process that someone goes through to compose something like that. It's something you have to be trained in, and it's something people dedicate our whole lives to. It's a little late for me to be doing that. But sometimes I’ll daydream about what it would be like to do that… And I'll think, Maybe I’m really a musician and I just didn't execute my creativity in that form. Or I chose from multiple creative formats to work within and certain mediums stuck with me more than others. I mean, I have been in bands. I’ve written a lot of songs. I even have a songwriting credit for a Nashville band from when I was 17. It's technically the second thing I ever published. That I have an actual copyright for. It's called the Girl with the Orange Hair. I forgot about that. I can't even remember the name of the band but I know the name of the singer. I could probably find out. When I wrote songs in college though, I didn’t write lyrics, weirdly. I only wrote music. Usually, guitar, bass. I programmed percussion and synthesizer. I love playing with drum machines and that's a kind of composing that technology makes it very easy for you to do. It's kind of tedious but it's super satisfying and I can never be someone who's super into computer games or video games, because I get the same kind of satisfaction I think from playing with tech. Like sounds, recording equipment, and mixing and also sometimes things like Illustrator, Photoshop, stuff like that, I can get lost in those in a way that I think is similar to what people experience with gaming. And then just, you know what? After all these daydreams, I realize I don’t have time for any of that. It would be fun. I have a To Do list of other projects and I will never finish all of those as it is. The ones I know I can execute, so I'd need a whole other lifetime for that whole world of music and the idea of composing. Here, doing this, what you're listening to, it's like I’ve found a space between music and books — storytelling, narrative non-fiction, audiobook narration, podcasting. It's an interesting thing that emerged within my lifetime along with technology that I would not necessarily have been able to predict. But I do weirdly have a short story that I wrote in 1989 about someone who was podcasting from their house. At the time, it was written kind of as magical realism more than, say, science fiction. I wasn't writing in detail about a technology that I foresaw. I kind of just didn't really explain the technology but I explained sort of the profession of someone being a shut-in and living in a room, very much like this room right now. Ohmygod. I've got sound tiles and sound dampening blankets hanging over the windows. It's this cave of dead space that I'm broadcasting from within. It wasn't a major part of the story. It was just kind of like the character in that story... it was about agoraphobia, I guess. Somebody who was suffering from that. But that was his profession. Weird. All of that happened before I became a shut in myself. When I had a stroke and I started doing all this kind of work because I didn't want to leave my house. Interesting. Okay, weird. Little circles within circles. I do wonder if other people experience this, what I'm talking about, more than we talk about it. Maybe as I'm describing this, you recognize it. Or you're beginning to notice it. Maybe after listening to this episode, you will start to realize, ohmygod, that's happening to me too! Is it something like intuition that everyone has access to if they just don’t repress it? How is it useful? I don’t know that it is useful. But I do feel engaging it is part of connecting in a general way. Practicing. Honing the connection. Allowing it. For me. And maybe for you too. What are the earwigs trying to tell you? Yes, of course, that’s one useful thing that you can do with all this. But maybe it’s more basic than that. You hear the muffled snatch of a song and you say Hey, turn that up! If you tune in, acknowledge this is happening, allow it, give it permission. If you let yourself listen. If you turn it up, what else do you hear?

  “My son ran into the bedroom and said, “Mom, mom, there's a man in an orange cape sitting at the table”...I went out into a dining room, and there was a Buddhist monk in full robes, orange robes, sitting at my dining room table. And I was very confused it was a bit surreal....” ~ Tammy, Speaking about her book The Buddha at My Table Well...I was definitely intrigued!

Ultimately, it's when she realizes that she is participating in her life, not at its mercy, that she discovers the path to freedom. ​   Links, Article, and Resources All Show Notes for This Episode

This episode covers #301 in the Criterion Collection, An Angel at My Table by Jane Campion, featuring special guests Craig D’Arville and Aaron Walker. LISTEN HERE: PODCAST REVIEW Also by Jane Campion Sweetie

New Orleans native Alex Brennan-Martin grew up as a member of the nationally acclaimed Brennan's restaurant family, which includes the renowned Commander's Palace. He made Houston home in the early 1980s and took over the reins at Brennan's of Houston, which was established in 1967. For the past 30+ years, he has upheld his mission of “creating dining memories” for his patrons, which has led to the continued success of Brennan's of Houston. Among his many accolades, Brennan-Martin was named “Restaurateur of the Year” by My Table magazine, and he and his family were inducted into the Culinary Institute of America's Hall of Fame, making them one of only three families to ever receive this prestigious leadership award.

This week on StoryWeb: Janet Frame’s memoir “An Angel at My Table.” If you haven’t read Janet Frame’s work and if you haven’t seen Jane Campion’s film An Angel at My Table, you must rectify these oversights immediately. You’ve likely heard of New Zealand film director Jane Campion – or at least seen one of her films. Probably the best known of them is The Piano, starring Holly Hunter. It won Campion the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 1994. And you may have seen Campion’s adaptation of Henry James’s novel The Portrait of a Lady, a film that starred Nicole Kidman. But to my mind and sensibility, An Angel at My Table – based on New Zealand writer Janet Frame’s three-volume memoir – is a too-often-overlooked masterpiece. Reading Janet Frame’s work – whether the three-volume memoir or her short fiction – is a treat in and of itself. But Jane Campion’s film brings New Zealand to vivid life and immerses us viscerally in Frame’s difficult but ultimately triumphant and redemptive life. Three actresses play Frame at various ages, from her childhood in a poor, working class family in Dunedin to her adolescence marked by devastating loss to her adult years, which take Frame to a psychiatric hospital, to England and Spain, and eventually back to New Zealand. I won’t give away any more of Frame’s life story – you must watch Campion’s film or read Frame’s memoirs (or both!). But I will tell you this. Since An Angel at My Table is one of my favorite films (along with Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins and Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust), I insisted that my book and movie club watch it. As we watched the film together, my friend Karin kept exclaiming as Janet Frame endured one tragedy after another. Karin felt the film was unrelenting in its bleakness and sorrow. But for me, Janet Frame’s story is ultimately one of triumph, redemption, and even celebration. The ending is my favorite part of the film: Janet Frame dancing in her father’s shoes, typing her work in a small trailer outside her sister’s house, and most of all, remembering how she and her sisters would sing the Robert Burns poem “Ah, ah! the wooing o’it.” Just typing those words – “Ah, ah! the wooing o’it” – makes me smile, as I reflect on what Janet Frame made of her life. To learn more about this wonderful writer, visit the website of the Janet Frame Literary Trust or the multipage exhibit about Frame at the Encyclopedia of New Zealand website. You also might want to read Michael King's book-length biography, Wrestling with the Angel: A Life of Janet Frame, or The Oxford Companion to New Zealand Literature’s biography of her. The Guardian published an excellent obituary of Frame when she died in 2004, as did the New York Times. Visit thestoryweb.com/frame for links to all these resources and to watch a six-part New Zealand television documentary about Janet Frame. It features interviews with this wonderful writer. You’ll also want to watch the trailer to Jane Campion’s film and the short 30-second scene when the young Janet and her sisters sing “Ah, ah! the wooing o’it.”
