Podcast appearances and mentions of Ngozi Ukazu

Jaypaw completes his time in the past - by setting up the future. It's somehow harder to leave than he expected. And kinda spooky~!Book: Warriors, Series 3: Power of Three #5: Long ShadowsSupport us on Ko-fi! WCWITCast Ko-fiFollow us on BlueSky! WCWITCastFollow us on Instagram!

We are thrilled to feature Dr. Pamela D. Toler who joined us to talk about her new book, THE DRAGON FROM CHICAGO: THE UNTOLD STORY OF AN AMERICAN REPORTER IN NAZI GERMANY. In a time when women were a rarity in the field, Sigrid Schultz was a print and broadcast journalist and the Chicago Tribune's Berlin office bureau chief. She covered news from Europe and Germany from WWI through WWII and post-war years. Toler's writing is accessible, and her subject's life & work are amazing. Having read every byline that Schultz wrote, Toler was able to offer insights about how totalitarian governments gain power making this history book a must-read for those concerned about our present political climate. Before we get into our regular segments, we recap our 2024 reading intentions and talk about reading intentions for 2025. We like “intention” because it implies a direction or focus rather than a specific goal. We do, however, mention some specific titles and authors, so perhaps those could be considered goals. Anyway, the point is we don't want to tie ourselves up in knots if our reading lives take unexpected but exciting twists and turns. What are your reading intentions for the New Year? Emily read two short stories from her Hingston and Olson Advent Calendar, “In the Stacks” by Robin Sloan and “The Hookup” by Katherine Heiny. She also discusses WE ALL WANT IMPOSSIBLE THINGS by Catherine Newman, CHECK, PLEASE! BOOK 1: #HOCKEY by Ngozi Ukazu, and LITTLE GREAT ISLAND by Kate Woodworth (not out until May). Chris shares her newfound love for an 1848 classic of Victorian Literature, THE TENANT OF WILDFELL HALL by Anne Brontë. She also revisits an old favorite, FINGERSMITH by Sarah Waters, which she listened to on audio. We also share two exciting reading projects hosted by listeners, what we're currently reading, (couch) Biblio Adventures, and more. Thank you so much for listening. We hope you enjoy this episode and wish you lots of Happy Reading!

Jace chats with New York Times best-selling cartoonist Ngozi Ukazu about her upcoming Young Adult graphic novel BARDA. Ngozi is a self-professed life-long DC Comics fan, so it was a dream come true for her to writer and illustrate this story. Taking inspiration from the legendary Jack Kirby, Ngozi weaves a wonderful Fourth World tale starring Big Barda as she begins to question the motivations of Apocalypse and meets Scott Free for the first time. Ngozi talks about her inspirations, the fun in writing the Female Furies and so much more. Be sure to listen in and pick up the graphic novel when it drops June 4th.

Helloooooo, internet land! This week, Emily and V were treated to a primer on the OMG Check Please! fandom by listener and friend-of-the-pod korechthonia, and Emily explains the divide between the pro-Parse and anti-Parse sides of the otherwise sweet and peaceful fandom. Plus, she tells V about growing up on a boys' hockey team herself and losing a tooth on the ice! Also, inextricable from OMGCP's sweet tale of gay hockey players in love is the sad, homophobic truth of the NHL, so we had to dig into that as well. But mostly: cute hockey comic about love and pies. WERE YOU PART OF THE KENT PARSON DISCOURSE OF 2016 OR WERE YOU NORMAL?

Amanda and Jenn discuss genre novels about older characters, read-alikes for Ted Lasso, and wanderlust in this week’s episode of Get Booked.

Feedback Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy by Cathy O’Neil (rec’d by Jeff) Last Night at the Lobster by Stewart O’Nan (rec’d by Linda) Unmentionable: The Victorian Lady’s Guide to Sex, Marriage and Manners by Therese O’Neill and The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got That Way by Bill Bryson (rec’d by Angie) Questions 1. Years ago I read the translation of the swedish book The Unit by Ninni Holmqvist. It’s one of those underrated books that deserves more love. It’s a scifi novel featuring an older woman who moves into a senior home that is more than what it seems. Residents get the life of luxury and all their needs and dreams met, but they are required to go through weekly blood and drug tests and many participate in questionable experiments. It’s a book about trust, good and evil, the elderly, and how far things might go in the future.  I would love to find more books featuring elderly folk, especially genre books (scifi, horror, thriller, suspense). I’ve read Fredrich Bachman, The Lido, The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper – in other words (spoilers) charming, quaint books with happy, hopeful endings.  Can you recommend any books with a twist or uncertainty or a hint of something unexpected?  Thanks! -Katherine 2. Hello Amanda and Jenn, big fan! Thank you for keeping me entertained through lockdown. My brother and I both love reading and keep trying to recommend books for each other but we have very different tastes. Books we have read this year that we thought might fit the bill for us both are: Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (he loved and I struggled through). We both enjoyed The Examined Life: How we lose and find ourselves by Stephen Grosz and Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E Frankl  He prefers books that challenge him, that are eye opening/life changing and he’ll enjoy it if it’s really long. He likes non-fiction memoirs about war and classics that have stood the test of time. I adore what he likes to call ‘pop’ fiction; Crime, Thriller, Horror, anything recently published, fast paced and relatively short. Can you suggest something that might work for us both? Thank you!  -Jenny 3. TIME _SENSITIVE: Hello, I am going to Northern Maine with my husband for a makeshift honeymoon since ours was canceled from covid in June and I am looking for recommendations for books to read on the ride up from Philadelphia.  I am open to anything except horror, sci-fi and mystery but something with National Park/nature feels would be nice. I would also request a Red Socks book for me (I know next to nothing on baseball but since we will be going to a game on the way to Maine and I would like to know something about the stadium or the team before going). Thank you so much and I can’t wait to hear what you can suggest.  -Carissa 4. I am looking for a book (nonfiction or fiction does not matter) that talks about relationships between semi-distant dads and daughters.  My dad left my mom for another woman (now my step mom) when I was 6, so honestly I was too young for it to be terribly traumatic. Now that I am grown up (I’m 27) we barely speak. My step brother came out as trans a few years ago and both my dad and step mom have responded terribly to it, which was the thing that made me really give up on having a relationship with my dad.  I am queer and my fiance is nonbinary, and when I have introduced my previous partners to him he just dismissed their pronouns and “didn’t get it.” He does not even know I’m engaged and I have not spoken to him in 2 years now. He recently reached out to me and wants to reconnect, but honestly I am at a point where I only want to put emotional energy into relationships that are fulfilling.  So, I am looking for something with an estranged relationship between father and daughter, has queer themes/queer mc, and there does not have to be a redemption arc or anything. In fact, I would like something where the daughter gets closure with deciding to not maintain a relationship with her father. Maybe 1 nonfiction and 1 fiction? Thank you! -Kenna (she/her) 5. I realized recently that I kind of have Harry Potter as my ultimate favorite thing in my head as a default because like for others it was the first series I read that really drew me in and made me love the characters, etc, and I haven’t felt like I’ve ever found that with another series.  I don’t exactly want a Harry Potter readalike because I know there are lots of those.  I really want a book, preferably a series, preferably not fantasy, that has those same elements that make HP so lovable. A small cast of really well-developed characters, a really immersive and well-thought-out story, universal themes, found family, all that. I just want an adult version of it that will draw me in that way.  Hopefully this isn’t some impossible ask.  Thanks and love the show!  -Maria 6. I’m looking for books with the same feel as Ted Lasso. I don’t necessarily care if it is an American abroad story. I’m more interested in optimism, vulnerability, and humor. I don’t think I’m looking for “cozy” or “feel good” reads.  If I had to describe it, I would say I want the heart and vulnerability of Ted Lasso.  Thanks! -Casey  7. A year into the pandemic and I am having a deep craving for books that help with my wanderlust. I’m looking for narrative non-fiction or travelogues to help transport me, but also integrate deeper understanding of a place’s history and culture. Here’s some that I recently read that I’m still having a book hangover from: 1. Leave Only Footprints: My Acadia-to-Zion Journey 2. Eat the Buddha:Life and Death in a Tibetan Town 3. Buttermilk Graffiti: A Chef’s Journey to Discover Americas New Melting-Pot Cuisine 4. Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life Here’s my good reads, thanks in advance!!!! -Mia   Books Discussed Sisters of the Vast Black by Lina Rather Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante Piranesi by Susanna Clarke Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi (cw: racial violence) Feeding the Monster by Seth Mnookin The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson Follow Your Arrow by Jessica Verdi (rec’d by Danika) Man Alive by Thomas Page McBee A Prince on Paper by Alyssa Cole Chilling Effect by Valerie Valdes Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers (Wayfarers #1) Dead in the Garden by Dalia Donovan Check, Please!: #Hockey by Ngozi Ukazu (with thanks to Smexy Books)  Window Seat by Aminatta Forna (comes out May 18) The Outrun by Amy Liptrot (tw: mental illness, suicidal ideation, sexual assault) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've done 70 episodes, and I have grown and learned so much about podcasting and editing in the interim, even starting up another podcast (where we're running out of ideas of things to talk about, so you should suggest us some titles over at @MangaInYourEars).

Then, we talk about Mifune: The Last Samurai, a documentary Criterion threw on their website to celebrate the centennial. Also we recorded these two movies like a month or so apart, so we may have repeated things thinking it would just be in one session, so apologies in advance if so. For the sports section of the podcast, Helen (@WanderinDreamr) and I talk about Ngozi Ukazu's Check Please, a hockey webcomic. Listen Show notes: 0:30 - Chris, Chris. and I talk about Red Beard for the second time for us, but the first time for you! 43:34 - We talk about Mifune: The Last Samurai! 1:00:03 - Helen and I talk about Check Please! Next time is Dodes'ka-den and Hinomaru Sumo!

Thank you for listening. So for our 70th! We celebrate Mifune’s 100th. Chris (@gokuffy), Chris (@antoniuspius), and I discuss his final film with Kurosawa up first with Red Beard. Then, we talk about Mifune: The Last Samurai, a documentary Criterion threw on their website to celebrate the centennial. Also we recorded these two movies like a month or so apart, so we may have repeated things thinking it would just be in one session, so apologies in advance if so. For the sports section of the podcast, Helen (@WanderinDreamr) and I talk about Ngozi Ukazu’s Check Please, a hockey webcomic. Listen Show notes: 0:30 – Chris, Chris. and I talk about Red Beard for the second time for us, but the first time for you! 43:34 – We talk about Mifune: The Last Samurai! 1:00:03 – Helen and I talk about Check Please! Next time is Dodes’ka-den and Hinomaru Sumo!

We continue our tour of the refugee experience in Sweet Home Chicago. We visit with museum president Carey Cranston, and listen in on museum recordings from personal interviews featuring contemporary writers Ngozi Ukazu, Viet Thanh Nguyen and Dina Nayeri. We also read from written vignettes contributed by visitors who join the experiment by sharing their immigrant or refugee stories. The stage is set as we hear from perhaps more familiar voices from America's literary history: Updike, Wright, Dickinson, Dos Passos and McCullers. Together with these new voices our cultural identity is influenced, continually develops and is transformed through American artistry. These are voices of contemporary newcomers and sons and daughters of refugees and immigrants contributing award winning fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels and other genres to American literature.

In this episode we chat about all the fun little things we have been up to in the past week. Including, ESU MACE competition, our own debate-off, Ultimate Manga Quiz, Christmas raffle, scrabble and more! We then review what we have been reading. Eat Dirt by Goldy Moldavsky (5.44) and Check Please by Ngozi Ukazu (9 mins) Remember to follow us @lounge_learning and if you want The Ultimate Manga Quiz just let us know!

Building on the discussion that began in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and continued in Josie and the Pussycats, Brenna and Joe travel to a place outside of time and space to discuss the long history of Archie comics. Specifically we're tackling Mark Waid and Fiona Staples' revitalizing run on Archie, Vol 1 & 2 that began in 2015, as well as Roberto Aguirre-Saca's television series, Riverdale, which began in 2017.Up for grabs: the unconventional friendship between Jughead and Betty, the nebulous tonal balancing act that is undermined by Archie's pratfalls and Staples' iconic art. But the focus is really on Brenna's not-quite-guilty-pleasure TV show, its curious sprawl and sense of nowhere (and simultaneously everywhere). Plus: Archie's eyebrows and pecs, praise for Lili Reinhart and criticism over the show's treatment of Jughead.In Homework: Joe reads listener email, including curated picks from Max, a warning from Leo and some constructive criticism by Andrew, while Brenna discusses Check Please! by Ngozi Ukazu, Wil Shriner's 2006 film, Hoot and a shout-out to Put A Blurb On It podcastWanna connect with the show?
