Podcasts about no happy endings

One Christmas morning in Madison, Wisconsin, a young man named Gerald Davies led the police to a dead body lying in a snowbank. Gerald was insistent that he did not kill the man. He explained that he and his fiancée, Barbara, had simply found the body in her apartment and buried it in the snow. […] The post No Happy Endings appeared first on Tiegrabber.

In this episode, we dive deep into the dark and gritty world of grimdark literature with the authors behind the upcoming anthology No Happy Endings. Join us as we discuss the challenges of writing short stories, the submission process, and what defines grimdark as a genre. We explore influences ranging from classic literature to video games, delve into the role of dark rituals in storytelling, and reflect on the impact of societal issues on the themes of grimdark fiction.The conversation also touches on the rise of cozy fantasy as a counterbalance to grimdark's bleak settings, contrasting the grim with the lighthearted. Along the way, we share book recommendations, including works by Joe Abercrombie, The Black Company, and Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné. Whether you're a seasoned grimdark reader or new to the genre, this episode offers fresh perspectives on storytelling, writing challenges, and the evolution of modern fantasy.Tune in for a thoughtful and engaging discussion on what makes grimdark literature resonate and why it's more relevant than ever!Find out guests:Armanis:Universal Booklink: No Happy EndingsTwitter: ArmanisBlusky:ArmanisKieran: Website: flying squirrels editing services | Flying Squirrels Editing Services (square.site)I'm not really active on Twitter, but I may go on once in a blue moon.

So many giggles on Episode 43 of the Partnership Podcast where Lauren and Trey cover their original Partnership Yes/No Lists, the 3 C's of Partnership, and their recent sexy getaway! At minute 4:50 Lauren and Trey start unpacking the logical choice they made in choosing partnership with one another. Listeners will enjoy their short trip down memory lane as they approach their anniversary and giggle over Lauren's most used word of the week, BEMOANING: to regard with displeasure, disapproval, or regret. At minute 7:20 they start to unpack the “lists” they each made independently before meeting on October 26, 2019. Lauren wants the audience to understand that we each individually get to be specific about our desires for a partner, but that does NOT excuse us from unpacking the harmful effects of cultural beauty standards. For Trey, his list was helpful, because it allowed him to get, “clear on what he wanted” and then forget about it! Lauren wrote her “list” slightly differently in 2019 when she was coming to grips with being a divorcee and single mother! (Enjoy your hilarious NFL moment at minute 16:21!) At minute 19:25 Lauren shares how Nora McInery's book, NO HAPPY ENDINGS, inspired her to write a story different from the sad one she was experiencing! Nora taught her to write “lonely hearts club ads” that allowed her to look beyond the limits of her small town and for a future partner like Trey! Honing in on what you want allows our future partners to be the object of our truest desire and WOW is that powerful! At minute 22:00 our hosts begin to take us on the hilarious journey of their weekend getaway! They share the highs and lows and inbetweens of this sex-cation gone… sideways! There's a slight skip at minute 24:58, but nothing is lost!! Lauren shares how anxiety and separateness build her anticipation for the evening and on the contrary,Trey shares the work he did to slow his mind and his rhythms down in order to be present as a lover. They both giggle about the nervousness they experience over not knowing what they're gonna talk about and then tell the story about what they did AFTER dinner and before going back to their room! Listeners will laugh when Lauren talks about the planning that goes into the undergarments that we wear or do NOT wear on dates!! Trey talks to the fellas for a moment at minute 31:00 about outercourse and training up your skills! If anyone needs teaching tools, of course, reach out to Lauren for more info on OMG Yes! Oh… but friends, the real meat of the podcast begins at minute 35:00! We're not gonna give it away here, so make sure you watch or listen! At minute 36:30 Lauren talks about how she refused to hate on her body “stuffed” in lingerie because as adrienne marie brown states in PLEASURE ACTIVISM, there is “big business in not being enough!” They talk about the fun and then the moment the fun goes WRONG at minute 41:13 and how they responded and handled disappointment in the middle of their sexy weekend! Lauren shares that the grace and compassion she extended to herself was so important in overcoming the disappointment of a “failed” encounter! Trey shares how caretaking was important and needed in the moment!

“Sometimes it feels like empathy, sympathy, sorrow, grief are scarce resources, because we certainly treat them like that. And if someone is feeling too much for you, they are not feeling enough for me. If somebody is comforting this person at the funeral because they are weeping the loudest, not because they were closest to this person, but because funerals bring up all kinds of feelings about ourselves, our relationships to other people. I was unhinged at a funeral for my mom's friend's husband. I was supposed to be on my second date with Aaron. This man died of brain cancer and I was choking, crying, imagining my own dad dying, not knowing that this same disease is growing in the man I'm about to go on a second date with. Not knowing that in four years I will be at my dad's funeral. And then we're always checking up on each other. Just this is a human thing, right? To check up on each other, to see how other people are doing it, to take your eyes off your own paper to see how you are doing and what kind of attention you're getting or all these things, all these comparisons, they all come down to like, does mine count? Yeah. Does mine count? The thing is they all count and they're all completely different.”  So says Nora McInerny, one of the brightest lights in my life, and a guide to many, many others, thanks to her hit podcast, “Terrible, Thanks for Asking.” Nora is quick to point out one of the deep and painful ironies in her life, which is that she wouldn't be our guide if she hadn't really been through it—and lost so much. In the span of a few months, Nora miscarried, her father died from cancer, and her first husband, Aaron, died from glioblastoma when he was 35. Alone with their baby, Nora began the journey back to life, using this new, deeply unwanted reality, as the ground from which to plow a path for the rest of us—a path that's often sad, sometimes hilarious, and always wise. In the early days of her loss, she founded a Facebook group called “The Hot Young Widows Club” and started a podcast called “Terrible, Thanks for Asking” as a meeting ground for other travelers who also found themselves improbably devastated and lost. She also gave an incredible TED Talk: “We don't ‘move on' from grief. We move forward with it.” In the intervening years, she remarried, birthed another child, and written a roster of hilarious and moving books—It's Okay to Laugh: (Crying is Okay, Too), No Happy Endings, Bad Vibes Only, and more. She also started a company called Feelings & Co., where she attends to all of our messy emotions: Besides the main podcast, she now produces a short, daily show—”It's Going To Be Okay,” and “The Terrible Reading Club.” Shameless plug, but she featured On Our Best Behavior and interviewed me on her show. Nora is one of my favorite conversation partners because she's not afraid to go there—and make jokes while doing it. Okay, let's get to our conversation.

We meet the people that challenge, question, and make Nora reflect on her own life, habits, and personality: her children, and their homework meltdowns, job searches, and online personalities; her college friend Kathleen, who now lives as a cloistered nun; and her uncle, a philosopher who has never used the internet (gasp!). Nora celebrates the joys and challenges of a blended family, and the surprises brought to bear by her approaching “early” middle age. BAD VIBES ONLY is not only a response to a society that tells us to live, laugh, and love—it's a reminder that in a world where we are more connected to and observed by our peers than ever before, we still deserve the freedom to be ourselves. Nora McInerny was voted Most Humorous by the Annunciation Catholic School Class of 1997. Since then, she's written the bestselling memoirs It's Okay to Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too) and No Happy Endings, as well as The Hot Young Widows Club and Bad Moms. She hosts the award-winning podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking, has spoken on TED's mainstage, and has contributed to publications like The New York Times, Time, Slate, and Vox. She is very tall.

Welcome to Chapter 91 of 3 Books!   How are you holding up in 2021? It has been a wild 20 months.   You've been telling me you are thankful for the show and I have been telling you I'm thankful for you. I appreciate your notes, your phone calls, your letters, and your reviews and we travel and meet across space and time — meeting up whenever the moon above is is completely full or completely empty.   Today I am so thrilled to share with you the enigmatic, witty, multi-hyphenate Nora McInerny.   In 2014 Nora went through a deeply traumatic six weeks. She had a miscarriage, lost her father, and lost her husband Aaron with whom she had a young son. She spent the next year of her life couch surfing, staying with friends, trying to process the loss, the grief and the trauma. And what has emerged is somebody who I feel is at the world's leading edge of discussing things like grief, trauma, loss, widowhood, and how we navigate forward with those all bottled up inside us.   Nora is the successful author of It's OK to Laugh, Crying is Cool Too, No Happy Endings, The Hot Young Widow's Club, and the movie novelization of Bad Moms. (Shoutout to Chapter 82 with Quentin Tarantino!).   Nora gave a wonderful TED Talk called “We don't move on from grief; we move forward with it” which, at the time of me writing this, has 5,798,513 views.   But all that stuff — the books! the talks! — are probably not as well known as her spectacular, award-winning podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking (TTFA).   If you don't already, check it out — subscribe, listen, and love. I was lucky enough to be a guest a year and a half ago and Nora gave me permission to share the audio in a 3 Books Bookmark this past March.   Nora McInerny is coming to us from her closet in Arizona, where she is now resettled into a new relationship, co-parenting her child with her new husband's children.   Get cozy in between us and let's the three of us hang out and talk about: intentional parenting, grief processing, shininess vs work, sliding scales of empathy, dating after divorce, navigating our deepest needs, and, of course, the one and only Nora McInerny's 3 most formative books.   Let's flip the page into Chapter 91 now…   What You'll Learn What is emotional coziness? How do we navigate self-consciousness? What makes children's books so unique? How can we better understand our values? How can we process our grief? What is the difference between processing versus coping with grief? What is the difference between grief and depression? How soon should you start dating after becoming a widower? Why is the grief of divorce or breakups underestimated? Why is it so important to convey the humanity of experiences vs the absurdity? How do you turn the mundane into the interesting? How can we curb digital self harm? What is the value of effort? What is digital enlightenment? Why is categorization counterproductive?   You can find show notes and more information by clicking here: https://www.3books.co/chapters/91    Leave us a voicemail.

In our final episode of the season we are talking about... The Holidays. Which are a time of reflection and anticipation. Of looking back at what we did... and what was done to us. We will hear from comedian and writer Alyssa Limperis and the shine-it-up Holiday letter she wrote the year her dad died from brain cancer. We will talk with Jay Mathews, a 48-year-old father and son who, with stage IV cancer, is probably experiencing his last Holidays with his family. And we will ask listeners what they took from 2018, what they're looking forward to in 2019, and what it is about hoping for something that can be so scary.
