This week, Busy and Caissie both had a bit of familial friction over the turkey-based holiday. Plus, they both remember the druggies and drug dealers they dated in high school. Then, Roxane Gay, best-selling author of “Bad Feminist,” “Hunger” and editor of “Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture” stops by, in the middle of having a bloody nose, to talk about her new book, “Opinions: A Decade of Arguments, Criticism and Minding Other People's Business” and everyone shares some of their most surprisingly controversial opinions, along with thoughts on American Individualism, menopause and whether we're clueless about it because Oprah retired too soon, and who we could nominate to be our national mother.

Last night an Atlanta grand jury indicted former president Trump and 18 of his allies in the probe into efforts to flip Georgia's 2020 election results. Fulton County DA Fani Willis told reporters: "The indictment alleges that rather than abide by Georgia's legal process for election challenges, the defendants engaged in a criminal racketeering enterprise in order to overturn Georgia's presidential election result." The big picture: This is the fourth indictment against Trump since April. Among those also charged are lawyers Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman and former white house chief of staff Mark Meadows. Plus, AI comes for books. And, more summer reading recommendations.

Welcome to Start By Listening! We are excited to have you on this journey with us toward healing and transformation. Start By Listening is a podcast about sexual harm, trauma and advocacy. Season Three - Hodge Podge - We are taking SBL to the community and speaking with various groups and people on the traumas they encounter in their part of the community and asking how they may want their organization to address trauma survivors in the future. This season, we will be delivering exceptional conversations and creative ideas while creating a safe space for connection and thoughtful experiences. We are going beyond sexual harm and really asking, "What does trauma look like and what does this experience look like for the Western Kentucky communities we serve?" We will be talking with various community members, and delving into difficult conversations where trauma intersects our communities and people. Season Three finds us growing and changing how we do our work. Our goal is to drop 2-3 podcasts per month on Fridays and you will find most of our episodes on YouTube as well! Yes, New Beginnings has a YouTube channel. In this episode, New Beginnings podcasters Jennifer, The Friendly Therapist, and Shelby, Victim Advocate take the time to honor the voices and stories of survivors, in their own words. They have chosen excerpts from books that highlight the reality of surviving sexual harm. April is SexualAssault Awareness Month.

Essayist, humor writer, and editor Elissa Bassist joins Zerlina on the show to talk about her new book HYSTERICAL: A Memoir, out now!HYSTERICAL: A Memoir by Elissa Bassist, editor extraordinaire of The Rumpus's “Funny Women” column, was born out of frustration over living in a society where men control storytelling, news, Silicon Valley, reproductive rights, and far too many conversations, and where woman are called crazy for experiencing emotion, second-guessed, demeaned, and threatened for speaking up, and then shamed for what they did or didn't say. HYSTERICAL is Elissa's story of how repressing her voice made her physically ill for over two years and her call for women to unmute their voice, listen to it above all others, and use it again without regret. Kirkus call HYSTERICAL “a sharp examination of life in ‘a culture where men speak and women shut up'... [Bassist's] memoir stands as proof of an arduous process of healing. A fiery cultural critique.” And if that hasn't convinced you to cover this book, here's just a taste of Elissa's brilliant writing: “Despite the rumors, it isn't so easy to just speak up. Since women are trained to disappear while being looked at constantly, we become our first and greatest critics and censors— so, speaking up for ourselves is not how we learn English. Instead, we're fluent in Giggle, in Question Mark, in Self-Deprecation, in Asking for It, in Miscommunication, in Bowing Down. These are all really different silences— we speak, but exclusively in compliments (‘Your sexism is so well said') and in apologies.” Elissa Bassist is an essayist, humor writer, and editor of the “Funny Women” column on The Rumpus. As a founding contributor to The Rumpus, she's written cultural, feminist, and personal criticism since the website launched in 2009. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Marie Claire, Creative Nonfiction, The New Yorker, Longreads, and more, including the anthology Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture, edited by Roxane Gay. Currently, she teaches writing at The New School, Catapult, 92nd Street Y, and Lighthouse Writers Workshop. She lives in Brooklyn and is probably her therapist's favorite.
In Episode 109, Quinn & Brian try to help answer the eternal question: What can I do? Our guest is Frank Buncom IV, Head of Product Management at AIRx Health, a ground-breaking digital health and remote monitoring service for patients with chronic conditions and COVID-19. This episode is the first in a series of organic conversations with up-and-coming world changers. Frank is just 24 years old — barely out of college — and already has a passion for solving challenging problems that the world needs solving. As if revolutionizing healthcare wasn’t enough, Frank’s also working on prison reform, sustainability, and climate change. And he meditates! Jesus, Frank. It’s enough. We talk about what drew him to the healthcare industry, adjusting the systems we build as we collect more data on how they work, and how identifying what you care about is the first step to creating lasting change.

It's hard enough to start a subscriber email. But what if--like freelance writer Lyz Lenz, who has two books coming out in the next twelve months--you asked your fans to pay for it? It's so crazy, it might just work.Hello from the Mom 2.0 conference, where Jess and I just did a panel on Launching a Speaking Career. More on that in an upcoming episode--but meanwhile, this one's a real thought-provoker. Most of us struggle with what's a good use of our time in our writing careers. We've talked a lot about the value of an email subscriber list when it comes to selling books and sharing your work--but what if the email is your work, or becomes a way to share your work? Journalist Lyz Lenz (https://lyzlenz.com/) uses Substack (https://substack.com/) to share a largely subscriber-only email (https://lyz.substack.com) with a group of readers/fans whose financial support has helped to carry her through the ups and downs of a freelance career.

CONTENT WARNING: Blunt conversation about rape, sexual assault, domestic violence. This week we’re joined by Kara Lyne Szabadi to delve into Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture, a collection of essays edited by our favorite Roxane Gay. We try to wrap our minds around rape culture- from our personal experiences on college campuses, at work and in dating to the cultural watershed moments of the 2016 election and #metoo movement. We dive into the notion that it's not just the elephant in the room, but the room itself. Why have we internalized the belief that the global epidemic of sexual violence is “not that bad?” What’s “bad enough?” Why are we SO MAD? If you need help now: National Sexual Assault Hotline 24 hours a day 1800-656-4673
Roxane Gay's latest book, "Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture," is a collection of first-person essays that directly tackle rape, sexual assault and harassment. With writer and organizer, Aja Monet, Gay discusses how their stories fit into the national conversation about sexual assault, the pitfalls of the #MeToo Movement, the pressure to "perform one's trauma," and the complex work that still needs to be done towards healing and justice.
Sivumennen summaa menneen kirjavuoden huippuhetket ja suuntaa katseensa myös ensi kevään odotetuimpiin romaaneihin. Lukulistallemme nousee niin vanhoja rakkauksia kuin uusia tuttavuuksia. (Ferrante ja Knausgård mainittu!) Lisäksi kiitämme #metoo -liikkeen ja uuden feministisen kirjallisuuden loppuvuoteen tuomaa toivoa ja pohdiskelemme, onko kirjallisuuden suurin tarkoitus välittää tunteita – kuten tuore kirjallisuuden nobelisti väittää. Myönnämme, että oma suorituksemme jäi viime vuonna lanseeraamassamme #hyllynlämmittäjä -lukuhaasteessa perin vaatimattomaksi MUTTA sehän ei estä meitä heittämästä haastetta uudella innolla vuodelle 2018. UUdet lämmittäjät lukuun! LUKULISTA: sivumennenpodcastFinaalissa! Vuoden viimeisessä jaksossa summaamme kirjavuotta ja suuntaamme katseemme ensi kevään odotetuimpiin romaaneihin. Mitä TE rakkaat kuulijat haluaisitte, että luemme?! Kysyimme myös kustantajilta heidän vuotensa valopilkusta sekä siitä, mikä kilpailijan kirja kadehditutti. (Laitamme vastauksia lisää Instaan ja Faceen.) Lisäksi kiitämme #metoon ja feministisen keskustelun loppuvuoteen tuomaa toivoa ja pohdimme, onko kirjallisuuden suurin tarkoitus välittää tunteita. Lopuksi myönnämme, että oma suorituksemme jäi #hyllynlämmittäjä -lukuhaasteessa hieman vajaaksi MUTTA heitämme uuden haasteen vuodelle 2018. Oletteko messissä?!

Ashley C Ford is one of my favourite people to follow on Twitter. You might recognise her voice from a very popular episode discussing Friendship on Lena Dunham's podcast 'Women Of The Hour'. She left her job at Buzzfeed a year ago to work on multiple different projects. She’s writer, editor, speaker, and professor at The New School in New York. She is currently writing a memoir (among other things), and co-editing the anthology Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture with the author of Bad Feminist Roxane Gay. She writes essays in many places from ELLE to The Guardian to BuzzFeed, and is someone with brilliant opinions, never afraid to share her truth in many different forms — she’s a really inspiring person who constantly emits positive energy online. I hope you love listening to her as much as I do. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
