Podcasts about My Year

Summer cometh: the grills get scraped clean, the buns are split, and hungry Americans get set to boil or broil their wursts, wieners, and sausages. In the summer of 2021, Jamie Loftus drove from coast to coast, tasting the vast array of hot dogs that America has to offer, consuming as many as four a day—and in one notable (or regrettable) instance, five. Chicago-style and the Coney Island special; drive-through and deli; chili and chile: Loftus devoured them all. Her ensuing book, Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs, brings the glory and the gory. It may be the first to detail not only the different genders of pickle jars one can buy at a gas station, but also the horrific treatment of animals and workers at slaughterhouses, conditions that got distinctly worse during the pandemic. Loftus—stand-up comedian, TV writer, and creator of such illustrious one-season podcasts as “My Year in Mensa” and “Ghost Church”—joins us to talk about the wild world of that iconic American food.

THIS WEEK on the GWA Podcast, I interview one of the most important, pioneering and impactful writers and novelists working today, Ruth Ozeki.  In this episode, we deep dive into looking, writing, observation and perception in a fascinating discussion that traverses objects, the written form, imagination and memoir. She is the author of four novels, My Year of Meats (1998); All Over Creation (2003); A Tale for the Time Being (which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2013 and won the LA Times Book Prize); and more recently, The Book of Form and Emptiness (for which she won the Women's Prize for Fiction) – an extraordinary novel centred on 14 year old Benny who, after his father dies, begins to hear voices, with other objects in a magical realist sense taking on roles to speak. Ozeki's work is powerful, it breaks boundaries and reinvents storytelling and often melds ancient ideas with contemporary ones – looking at how they relate to our technology, religion, politics or pop culture.  In addition to her writing work, Ozeki is a Zen Buddhist priest, ordained in 2010 and a role that has influenced her two most recent novels; and a filmmaker, hailed for her 1995 work Halving the Bones, that looks at three generations of Ruth's maternal family history from Japan, to Hawaii and to a suburb in Connecticut.  But, aside from this, it is also Ozeki's non-fiction work that I highly admire, in particular her 2016 book “Timecode of a Face” – a part-memoir, part-experiment – influenced by a Harvard art historian that saw her sit in front of a mirror for three hours and examine her face as she traces each line, mark, crease and feature back to story from her past – which I cannot wait to get into in this episode!

After an unexpected phone call on an early morning in 2018, writer and model Eirinie Carson learned of her best friend Larissa's death. In the wake of her shock, Eirinie attempts to make sense of the events leading up to Larissa's death and uncovers startling secrets about her life in the process. The Dead are Gods (Melville House , 2023) is Eirinie's striking, intimate, and profoundly moving depiction of life after a sudden loss. Amid navigating moments of intense grief, Eirinie is overwhelmed by her love for Larissa. She finds power in pulling moments of joy from the depths of her emotion. Eirinie's portrayal of what love feels like after death bursts from the page alongside a timely, honest, and personal exploration of Black love and Black life. Perhaps, Eirinie proposes, "The only way out is through." Eirinie Carson is a Black British Londoner and writer living in California. She is a mother of two children, Luka and Selah. A member of the Writers Grotto in San Francisco, Eirinie is a frequent contributor to Mother magazine, and her work has also appeared in Mother Muse and You Might Need To Hear This, with an upcoming piece in The Sonora Review's Fall edition. She is also the recipient of the Teaching Fellowship from Craigardan, NY. Eirinie writes about motherhood, grief and relationships and is awaiting the release of her first book, The Dead Are Gods about the loss of her best friend, Larissa, and what love looks like after death. Recommended Books: Jinwoo Chong, Flux Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad Ottessa Mossfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation Chris Holmes is Chair of Literatures in English and Associate Professor at Ithaca College.

This week, we read My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh. CONTENT WARNING: We talk about depression and suicide ideation in this episode, so please take care while listening.   This novel follows the journey of an unnamed protagonist as she puts herself in a medically-induced sleep for an entire year. It dives into issues surrounding depression, friendships, and sense of purpose with a touch of dark humor.  Sierra Marshall, who loves to get a full eight hours of sleep, joins me today to talk about why one of us loved this book and why one of us just couldn't get into it.  In this episode we cover:  Why this main character is both hard to relate to and also just a little too similar to us than we'd like. The absolute s**t show that is this woman's psychiatrist. How two people can feel so different while reading the same book.  Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will have you feeling verrrrryyyyy sleepy.  Mentioned in the Pairings section of the podcast: DRINK: Manhattan, Camomile Tea with a splash of whiskey  TV SHOW - Sex and the City, Community - Cooperative Calligraphy BOOK - The Lonely City, The Color Purple, Normal People MOVIE - Life Itself, Malcolm and Marie  ***  Once you're done listening, hop onto our Instagram and TikTok @rwreadspodcast to give us your thoughts on the discussion and the book.

Jackson Kelly has been rising fast in the acting world starring in Lucky Hank, My Year of Dicks, and Witch Mountain. He joins us to talk about what it's like working with Bob Odenkirk, how he prepares for new roles, and the difficulties of knowing how you've performed in an audition. We also discuss the shows he's recently starred in, what it's like on set, and how he got each of his new roles. “I'm learning my place in the scheme of things, I'm learning that it's a puzzle and everyone's a part of it and I'm one little piece as Barto and that's all I can control is what happens between action and cut.” - Jackson Kelly

Shannon Harvey is an award-winning Australian health journalist, author, and filmmaker. In her film (and now a book, My Year of Living Mindfully), Shannon committed to meditating every day for 365 days. She enlisted a team of top scientists from around the world to track everything from her stress hormones to her immune function to her cellular aging and gene expression to her subjective wellbeing. Overwhelmed with insomnia, autoimmune disease, and a family history of mental health issues, Shannon was highly motivated to find a way to address the challenges she faced, and those we all face with the growing epidemics of stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. The results were surprising! She hopes that the film will spark meaningful conversations and help all of us feel more grounded and calm as we face the inevitable challenges of being human.

  On Friday's show: Many homeowners in Greater Houston have been getting their annual property appraisal notices in recent weeks, and, in many cases, they're going up. And that means a hike in taxes. We learn why those values are rising even though the housing market is slowing down. Also this hour: With an ongoing computer ship shortage, we learn about recent efforts to bring investments in the semiconductor industry to Texas and what the CHIPS and Science Act could do for the industry in our state and Houston. Then, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week. And we talk with writer Pamela Ribon. Her story of growing up near Katy and navigating her sexual maturity in the 1990s is told in the Academy Award-nominated animated short, My Year of Dicks.

In Part Two of their series on spectacular death, Ellie and Carrie speak with sisters Jessica and Leila Murphy, who lost their father Brian in the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.  He was 41 years old, Jessica 5 and Leila almost 4. Since that terrible day, Jessica and Leila have had to grow up not only without a father but also with the complexities that come with losing him in the attacks.   From their inability to grieve privately to the invocation of their father's name to justify two wars and countless acts of violence, Jessica and Leila have struggled with the meaning and responsibilities of victimhood. Now 26 and 25, they are part of 9/11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, which advocates nonviolent options in pursuit of justice, including closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay.We discuss Leila's 2021 piece in The Nation “I Lost My Father on 9/11, but I Never Wanted to Be a ‘Victim,'” Jessica's 2019 essay in The Indy, “Among the Iguanas: On life and the pursuit of death in Guantánamo Bay,” and a 2003 Brown Alumni Magazine profile on their mother Judy Bram Murphy's widowhood.  The sisters also offer thoughtful insight into successes and shortcomings of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum as a force of public instruction.Other works cited are “The Aesthetics of Absence” by Marita Sturken, Ambiguous Loss by Pauline Boss, The Land of Open Graves by Jason De León, Julia Rodriguez's 2017 op-ed for the New York Times “Guantanamo Is Delaying Justice for 9/11 Families,” Rachel Kushner's 2019 feature on Ruth Wilson Gilmore and prison abolition for the New York Times, The Ten-Year Nap by Meg Wolitzer, and My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh. Films mentioned are World Trade Center (2006), United 93 (2006), The Mauritanian (2021), and The Report (2019).

Writer, animator, and performer Jamie Loftus joins Greta this week to talk about being a standardized test girlie with scoliosis from Boston. Her high school was so big they pulled a Hogwarts and separated all the kids into "houses" by color.

Rachel Kushner is the author of novels The Mars Room, The Flamethrowers, and Telex from Cuba, as well as a book of short stories, The Strange Case of Rachel K. Her career-spanning book of essays The Hard Crowd, solidified her place of authority amongst today's writers, covering everything from a Palestinian refugee camp to her young life in the San Francisco music scene. Kushner has won the Prix Médicis and been a finalist for the Booker Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and was twice a finalist for the National Book Award in Fiction. Ottessa Moshfegh is a stand-out in contemporary literature. With worlds and minds that manage to be both dark and intricate, as well as elegant and neurotic, her writing trails a unique and poignant thread of what it means to live in the now. She is the author of the novels My Year of Rest and Relaxation and Eileen, the novella McGlue, the short story collection Homesick for Another World, and she has three film adaptations in the works. Her newest book, Lapvona, is a medieval fantasy set in a fictional village struggling with the sordid aftermath of a plague; “part Dostoevsky, part Poe, and entirely her own” (The Millions), the book showcases Moshfegh at seemingly her darkest.

The streets of San Francisco and New York City spring to life as Savage uncovers his own rare manuscripts. Among his found writings includes a story about loss and a message for the throwaway lifestyle that pervades modern America. Savage shares intimate pieces that he himself has not heard in years! Hear these unique vignettes; many written before his successful radio career including "The Last Member of the Leisure Class", "From Sandals to Sandals in Three Generations," My Year in New York," and more.

All right, dear listeners, New Year's is upon us and, if you're like me, you may be thinking about your resolutions! And, if you're like me, at some point you may have written out too many resolutions—or created too high a bar to reach within those resolutions—and found that few of them were actually carried out. I decided to take a look at those resolutions and consider a potentially more effective way to write them. I'm talking about aspirations for growth instead of the rigidity of resolutions paired with small and reasonable improvements. At least, that is the topic of this episode with my very special guest and friend of the podcast, New York Times, best-selling author, AJ Jacobs (https://ajjacobs.com/)! AJ is the author of great books like My Year of Living Biblically, The Know-It-All, and, most recently, The Puzzler. All are must-reads and I've read many of his books two or more times! This is AJ's third visit, and upon reflection, it is because he represents so much of what this podcast is all about from a values perspective. The values he seems to live by and rock in his life are the same ones I attempt to embed in my own life and certainly the drivers for this podcast. You'll hear what they are but, to give you an advance on the four values which are: fun, curiosity, drive for excellence, and kindness. And these are the perfect fuel, I believe, for New Year's Aspirations! So, sit back and listen in as AJ and I have a jam session on New Year's Aspirations. The Puzzler: https://tinyurl.com/4bdewhuf

Who better to help us close out our month of high-profile misfires than THE Nathan Rabin, author of My Year of Flops and The Joy of Trash? On the table are two wildly ambitious passion projects whose disastrous Cannes premieres threatened to end their directors' careers: Richard Kelly's 2006 gonzo sci-fi satire Southland Tales, and David Robert Mitchell's 2018 absurdist noir Under the Silver Lake. We discuss the films' unique visions of L.A., the career-best performances of their movie star leads, and if these flops— in the words of our guest— are actually secret successes.

Hi, My Year in Mensa fans! Here's a preview of a new podcast, Internet Hate Machine. Bridget Todd explains how bad actors use the internet to target and silence women, especially Black women. Excluding them from discourse and desensitizing us to sexist, racist attacks makes us all less safe. Bridget talks with women who have been the targets of coordinated attacks, activists who are fighting back, and experts to help break down the deliberate agenda behind it.

On today's episode of the podcast I'm crunching the numbers from my October profit report. If you missed last month's profit report, check out September's Profit Report here. Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to get your FREE TRIAL access to the VIP Tier of Profit Rx. I'm not sure when (or even if) I'll do this again, so be sure to get your access now before it goes away on the 11th. Recording this episode of the November Profit Report is an exciting time for me because Profit Rx, my signature program & monthly membership, turns one year old this month! At the time you're hearing this I'll be at Wedding MBA, showcasing Profit Rx, the Contract Vault, etc. at my booth, and speaking this year! Wedding MBA last year was when I officially launched Profit Rx. Now that I have one year of profit report data on how Profit Rx has been performing, I took a listen back to last year's November Profit Report. During that episode I shared that I had gone into $7,000 of business credit card debt to prepare for the launch of Profit Rx. I don't always recommend doing that, it can definitely be scary. If you are thinking of doing it, it's important to focus on ROI. And now that I have a year's worth of data, I can share my ROI with you. My Year to Date (YTD) Total Revenue from Profit Rx during January to October of 2022 is $70,000. When I launched, it brought in $12,000 in revenue in November during its first month. A big chunk of this money was from annual memberships. December gave me a better look at the monthly recurring revenue I was making on Profit Rx. I brought in $5,000 in December, indicating my MRR would be about $5,000 and that $7,000 of November's revenue was from annual memberships. While November's revenue was enough to pay off the business credit card debt, I split it between November and December. From November of last year to October of this year, Profit Rx has generated $87,000 in revenue. That's roughly a 12.5x return on investment (ROI) from my $7,000 investment. 2022 was supposed to be all about profit because Profit Rx was supposed to be my one signature offer. And it has been in almost all respects because it's made up about 56% of total revenue. I've spent the past six months or so thinking about how I really want to grow and scale this business in a variety of ways. In order to service a broader niche i.e. drag queens (through Drag Tax) and other creatives In order to bring a higher level of support into the membership with our new bookkeeping team In order to support folks who have moved passed any form of DIY stages In order to support folks with their taxes at a higher level This has meant making even more investments. October Goals - Projected vs. Actual Profit Rx: $12,000 → $7,000Vault: $1,000 → $2,800Book: $200 → $2001-on-1: $1,500 → $1,500Other: $2,500 (affiliate payouts) → $3,700Then we had other of: $775Bookkeeping: $400Template: $410 = $17,200 projected/$16,800 actual
