Nominated four times, he won the Booker Prize in 1989 for The Remains of the Day, and was most recently nominated for an Academy Award for his screenplay for the 2022 film “Living.” In this interview, he discusses his most recent book at that time, When We Were Orphans, and talks about how he became a writer and the relationship of his Japanese heritage to his life in Great Britain, where he's lived since he was six years old. His most recent novel, a parable, is titled Klara and the Sun, and was published in 2021. This interview was digitized, remastered and edited in November 2023 and has never been heard in its entirety. Along with Living, which can be seen on Netflix, Kazuo Ishiguro has written screenplays for The Saddest Music in the World, now on AMC plus. An Adaptation of Never Let Me Go can be found on Starz, and one of An Artist of the Floating World is on Amazon Prime. Both The White Countess, for which he wrote the screenplay, and his adaptation of the Remains of the Day can be rented on various apps. Complete 43-minute interview.

They are known collectively as “Slow Horses,” which is the title of the television series starring Gary Oldman as their boss, Jackson Lamb. “The Secret Hours” is located in the same world as the series, but serves as a stand-alone novel about an inquiry into MI5's past, set up by a conservative government out to rein in the Secret Service.

Drawings and sequential images are so pervasive in contemporary society that we may take their understanding for granted. But how transparent are they really, and how universally are they understood? Combining recent advances from linguistics, cognitive science, and clinical psychology, Who Understands Comics?: Questioning the Universality of Visual Language Comprehension (Bloomsbury, 2020) argues that visual narratives involve greater complexity and require a lot more decoding than widely thought. Although increasingly used beyond the sphere of entertainment as materials in humanitarian, educational, and experimental contexts, Neil Cohn demonstrates that their universal comprehension cannot be assumed.

Nominated from our website, Andthenomineeis.com, this interview with Karie is the easiest I've had on the podcast so far.  Karie is a true professional and knows how to carry a conversation.  Her knowledge and passion for The Bridges Foundation is impressive and so is the work the organization is doing.  The mission of the Bridges Foundation is to enhance the quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities, their families, and community through training, education, employment services and advocacy.  This non-profit organization is changing lives.

Drawings and sequential images are so pervasive in contemporary society that we may take their understanding for granted. But how transparent are they really, and how universally are they understood? Combining recent advances from linguistics, cognitive science, and clinical psychology, Who Understands Comics?: Questioning the Universality of Visual Language Comprehension (Bloomsbury, 2020) argues that visual narratives involve greater complexity and require a lot more decoding than widely thought.

Jan Clarke has been a finalist in many awards across the decades. Teacher of the Year, Telstra Business Woman of the Year, and Nominated for Australian of the Year, but her proudest moment was when she pitched the Door 2 Story and won Founder of the Year in the Launch Victoria pitch event. Jan describes herself as an ‘old lady with a startup' but in reality she has always been telling stories, advocating on behalf of others for their voice to be heard. A passionate advocate for people on the inside of an eating disorder ‘Insiders', and their families on the outside, struggling to understand how to reach their loved on and be effective in supporting their recovery. With a Master of Education, Jan is recognised Australia wide as an expert in Developmental Education with close to 40 years experience in the delivery of programs across multiple sectors.Her expertise in the field of Eating Disorders has led to opportunities to consult, coordinate and lead teams of multiple stakeholders to deliver humane, sustainable and positive outcomes for people with complex eating disorders and their families. After a lifetime working in the Eating Disorder and Education fields, raising 4 fabulous adults and 9 wonderful grandchildren, Jan retired to the farm to enjoy the view from her verandah. It was Audrey who pulled on her heartstrings and got her off that porch and out of retirement. In 2019, after 6 years of ‘evidence based' mainstream eating disorder treatment, the arrival of adulthood and the independence that comes with this, Audrey had relapsed and her family was in the fight of their life to save her. For the first time in her eating disorder treatment, Audrey was given the space for her voice to be heard. . Working together, Audrey, her family, Jan and her treatment team supported this amazing Insider until she gained the insight, skills, strength and capacity to lead her own recovery. In 2021, Jan pitched an idea that was novel and untested. A program to help families and carers understand the ‘Inside' experience of their loves ones with eating disorders. What was intended to be a 6 week pilot program of education, skills and support, hosted by Jan and guided through the ‘Insider' experience, delivered unexpected outcomes. A beautiful symbiotic relationship between Insiders and carers ‘Outsiders' emerged. One where both sides felt validated, understood and supported. A relationship based on genuine connection, trust, honesty and commitment to one another was the result. Door 2 has evolved from this original idea into a comprehensive program that is backed by research through practice informed evidence.

We had the pleasure of interviewing MAY-A over Zoom video!Australian singer-songwriter, MAY-A, will recently released her new EP, ANALYSIS PARALYSIS.You probably know MAY-A from her collab with Australian electronic superstar Flume, “Say Nothing (Feat. MAY-A).” The EP features focus track, “Guilty Conscience,” and previously released singles “Sweat You Out My System,” “Your Funeral,” “LOLA” and “Something Familiar.” The 7-track project also includes the brand new “Ifyoulikeitlikethat” and “SUPERIOR LIAR,” while showing MAY-A's continued exploration and experimentation with new sounds and experiences.ABOUT MAY-AEP singles “Your Funeral” and “Sweat You Out My System” were both met by global applause upon their release this spring, with PAPER praising the latter track as “anthemic ‘90s-style rock…a heated breakup track, which likens a split to going cold turkey and captures all the anxiety and intensity that implies.” “The new pop/rock-meets-semi-rap track brilliantly recontextualizes the indie-pop stylings fans have grown accustomed to from the Australian phenom,” agreed Billboard. “MAY-A leans all the way in with punchy guitars and blown-out drums. Her lyricism remains top-shelf.” “The self-deprecating ‘Your Funeral' finds (MAY-A) leaning into more alt-pop-based sonics,” declared Ones To Watch, “as she unpacks her relationship habits with satirical lyricism flowing above a driving beat.”The ongoing series of new releases follows an incredibly successful 2022 for MAY-A, which included her ARIA Award-nominated collaboration with Australian electronic superstar Flume, “Say Nothing (Feat. MAY-A),” which reached #12 on Billboard's “Hot Dance/Electronic Songs” chart amidst a storm of high-profile media attention from Billboard, Complex and more. MAY-A joined Flume for performances of “Say Nothing” during show-stopping sets at last year's Coachella and Governors Ball as well as on his sold-out US and Australian headline tours. MAY-A also unveiled her own unique rendition, “Say Nothing (MAY-A's Version),” hailed by NME as “a total tone shift from the duo's original, stripping out the song's driving beat and Flume's electronic elements. Instead, MAY-A opts for hauntingly hazy vocals, acoustic guitar and spacious, lo-fi production, letting the vulnerability of the song's lyrics shine through.”Nominated for Rolling Stone Australia's “Best New Artist” award and hailed by Billboard as “a master class in indie pop,” MAY-A made her extraordinary debut with 2021's acclaimed Don't Kiss Ur Friends. The EP – which received a prestigious ARIA Award nomination for “Breakthrough Artist – Release” in MAY-A's home country of Australia – includes such inventive and self-assured tracks as “Swing Of Things,” “Time I Love To Waste,” “Green,” and “Central Station.“Known as a dynamic and inventive live performer, MAY-A supported 5 Seconds of Summer on their recent Australian headline tour and joined Wallows on the UK/EU leg of their landmark Tell Me That It's Over World Tour, earning praise by DORK as “an artist bringing all their anticipated hype to life.”We want to hear from you!

The latest on Jerusalem...Joe breaks down the latest. PLUS...Republicans tap Louisiana lawmaker Steve Scalise for the next House Speaker but does he have the votes?

It's official! Congressional Republicans met behind closed doors and have nominated Steve Scalise for the speakership rather than Jim Jordan, despite the fact that Jordan got Trump's endorsement!   Highlights:  “Scalise is the donor-class approved candidate for Speaker; And that's because he's absolutely pro-Ukraine, pro-military industrial complex, and so, with a Scalise speakership, the money will continue to flow to Ukraine completely unabated; so that would be just replacing with establishment shill for another!” “Republicans are just renters, the Democrats are the owners, they own the Deep State, they own permanent Washington, and if you want the benefits of power and affluence given to you by permanent Washington, you've got to appease the Democrats, and that means staying away from Trump and the MAGA movement, even though it's Trump and MAGA that are more and more becoming the defining forces of our politics today!”    Timestamps: [01:42] Scalise squeaked by Jim Jordan [04:01] Republicans are trying to oust a Republican from congress [07:15] The working class are for Trump   Resources:  The Courageous Patriot Community is inviting YOU!

I think we are inherently good.Author Melanie van de Velde, Ph.D.,  has spent her career helping big businesses do business better, especially in terms of social impact. She shares insights to double or even quintuple results in her book Leak Like a Genius, due out in January. She is also the CEO of Big Tree Global.She notes that a lot of noble, high-impact nonprofit work focuses on fixing problems created directly or indirectly by business. She likens it to mopping up the water from an overflowing tub while the faucet is still running–it is neverending.She suggests instead that implementing structural changes in business to eliminate the problems caused and instead become part of the solution. This is how to shut off the flow of water and simultaneously help to mop it up.She offers a critical observation and an example to make the point:When secondhand donations ramped up in Africa, for example, over 50% of people in the local textile industries lost their jobs as a consequence. It can disrupt local economies, but it can also create adverse psychological impacts such as depression, despair, lack of self-esteem and things like that. So, if you compare it to a whole different example called soleRebels, it's Africa's fastest-growing footwear brand, founded by an Ethiopian businesswoman called Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu. She rightly asks, “If you give a child a pair of shoes and it grows out of it, or it wears out, then what does it have? But if you give the parents a job, the whole family will always have shoes.”That's exactly what she does. She has opened manufacturing facilities in Ethiopia areas that need economic generation development. She pays their staff over three times the industry average wage. So, it's a much more structural solution.If you think about poverty, if you think about inequality, essentially, if we want to tackle the root cause, it takes two things. The first being empowering people to contribute their talents, their skills to make a living. The second part is what I call just payments. That doesn't mean paying everyone the same. For market incentives to work, it's good to recognize different contributing factors such as taking more effort, more risk, bringing more talent, more skill and working harder, but paying people just prices, reflecting the contributions that are made. If we do that, and that is essentially a real role of business, we would tackle poverty, rising inequality, and social exclusion at its root.Her example makes clear that business not only can be an essential part of the solution to poverty, but it must be!Throughout her career, Melanie has employed her superpower, believing that we can make change and that people are inherently good.AI Episode Summary* The guest on the show is Melanie van de Velde, CEO and founder of Big Tree Global and author of Lead Like a Genius.* Melanie's background is in business, but she has always been passionate about addressing poverty in the world.* She ran an impact enterprise in the Kibera slum in Nairobi, which taught her about the challenges of balancing commercial sense and making a difference.* Melanie spent years researching projects and companies that make a difference and wanted to share everything she learned, leading to her book, Lead Like a Genius.* Businesses have a role to play in solving the world's problems by addressing the root causes rather than dealing with symptoms.* Examples include the TOMS buy one give one model, which alleviates poverty-related issues but doesn't fix the root cause, and SoleRebels, an African footwear brand that provides jobs and addresses poverty structurally.* Business models that have a strong commercial sense while pursuing an impact mission are more successful in driving change.* An example is the Brigade Bar and Bistro in London, which provides an excellent dining experience while training and empowering apprentices facing homelessness or mental health challenges.* Melanie's superpower is her belief in the inherent goodness of people and their ability to make a positive impact on the world.* To learn more about Melanie and her work, her book Lead Like a Genius is available on Lulu.com and Amazon, and she can be reached on LinkedIn or through the website Big Tree Global.How to Develop Belief in Change and the Goodness of People As a SuperpowerMelanie's beliefs empower her work. She cuts quickly to the point, saying, “I think if I didn't believe that we could make things different and that people are inherently good, I don't think I would have even pursued this path or stayed on this path because it's not definitely not been the easiest one.”Melanie offers a few tips for increasing your faith in humanity.Her first tip is to consider the news cautiously and include choices like Superpowers for Good in your news inputs.Second, she suggests focusing on inspiring examples of good people. Though seldom covered in the news, they are all around us and easy to find.Third, she encourages people to infuse their organizations with these examples, including the insights in her book and from her consulting and other work. She adds that your business will benefit just by getting a portion of the organization on board to start.By following Melanie's example and advice, you can increase your belief in the goodness of humanity and our collective ability to change things. In time, you may make this a superpower that empowers you to do more good in the world. Guest ProfileMelanie van de Velde (she/her): Founder & Author, Big Tree Global LtdAbout Big Tree Global Ltd: Author of LEAD LIKE A GENIUS: How to Outgrow the Competition & Transform Our World (to be published January ‘24); Supporting business leaders and MBA students to create a 200-400% better impact return in tackling our key global issues, as well as improved business growth, productivity and brand value.

They're being called the Gaetz Eight - the eight Republicans who ousted Kevin McCarthy from the speakership yesterday. It was an absolutely historic move. It's never been done in the history of our nation! We're going to talk about what the interim speaker just did to Nancy Pelosi and how Trump officially gets nominated!    Highlights:  “McCarthy just joined his other two RINO neocon colleagues who were also rejected by the Republican grassroots, Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor. They both resigned in humiliation as a result of the massive backlash against their pathetic uniparty tendencies!” “For all of these supposed conservative commentators lamenting and whining about the Gaetz 8, they can just go retire right now! They're pushing a bunch of Kabuki Theater lies. It's all virtual politics, the two parties are there just to make us think we have a say in what happens in Washington, all the while we don't!” “It's official; Representative Troy Nehls just nominated Trump for Speaker of the House!
