Send us a textGlobal juggernaut for body positivity, US Slam Poet champ poet and zen mistress repping for the Scorpio Dragons, Sonya Renee Taylor invited Penny into her West Auckland Air BnB to chat all thing Body. Friends for 20 years they initially reminisced about the UK Poetry tour that brought them together, complete with Penny's diary comments from 2006 on Sonya's "delight" at sharing a room with three poetesses and three wigs.From there, they dive into Sonya's groundbreaking book and global movement The Body Is Not an Apology, her early struggles accepting baldness and Penny's ongoing difficulty loving her own fleshy bone bag.Then also chatted about who and what Sonya got up to in college, about her 12 step journey, what it's like performing for Barack Obama at the Whitehouse and Penny's firm disbelief in astrology — which, frankly, is exactly what you'd expect from an Aquarius. Finally Sonya blew Penny's levels and ear drums away with a delightful hidden talent to rival Pavarotti. CW: Drug addiction, sex addiction Support the show

Yet, Aaron Gervais and Stellar Cassidy, the co-founders of Otherwise Brewing, have achieved just that. Their mission is clear: to create craft beer that tastes as good as traditional beer while being accessible to a growing community of people who avoid gluten for health reasons.Stellar explained, “Otherwise Brewing is a passion project that Aaron and I launched in 2021 after years of R&D. The beer is 100% gluten-free and celiac safe. We brew with grains alternative to barley, like rice and millet, which also have a smaller carbon footprint.” This dual focus on inclusivity and sustainability has been central to their journey.The need for gluten-free beer is significant. Aaron, who has family members with gluten sensitivities, highlighted the growing demand, saying, “We've gotten a lot of inbound requests from people across the country to ship gluten-free beer to them because there just aren't that many options out there.” With nearly a third of people reporting they try to avoid gluten, Otherwise Brewing is filling a critical gap in the market.What makes their beer stand out isn't just the absence of gluten—it's the taste. “We wanted to make sure that we were doing something unique,” Aaron said. “We developed a way to make gluten-free beer that tastes just like regular beer. Beer is not health food—we drink it for the enjoyment.”This innovative approach, combined with their dedication to building a loyal community in the Bay Area, has positioned Otherwise Brewing for expansion. The company is currently raising capital on SMBX, a regulated crowdfunding platform, to support statewide distribution and marketing efforts. “We want to make a big splash,” Stellar shared.As they prepare to scale, Aaron and Stellar are inviting supporters to invest in their vision of making craft beer more inclusive. Through passion, innovation, and a commitment to sustainability, they are leading the gluten-free beer revolution.If you're interested in supporting their mission, you can learn more about their campaign at SMBX.tl;dr:Today's episode highlights Otherwise Brewing's mission to create delicious, 100% gluten-free craft beer.Co-founders Aaron and Stellar share their journey to develop a sustainable, celiac-safe brewing process.The company is raising capital on SMBX to expand distribution across California and grow its community.Aaron's superpower, curiosity, drives innovation, including the creation of gluten-free beer recipes.Stellar's superpower, community building, fosters inclusivity at the taproom for gluten-free beer lovers.How to Develop Curiosity and Community Building As a SuperpowerAaron's superpower is his relentless curiosity, which drives him to explore new ideas and solve challenging problems. “I've always been a naturally curious person,” Aaron said. “When something piques that curiosity, I want to learn more and figure it out.” This mindset led him to develop Otherwise Brewing's gluten-free beer. He explained, “I wondered if I could make gluten-free beer that tastes good… it was a difficult technical challenge, but we figured it out.”Stellar's superpower is her ability to build inclusive, vibrant communities. “If I had to pick my superpower, I think it's honestly building community,” Stellar shared. She explained how creating a welcoming taproom for people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivities has been a core part of the brewery's success. “So many people with gluten issues can't hang out at breweries. We're proud to provide a space where they can enjoy a beer with their friends.”Aaron taught himself web programming to address a business challenge. He wanted better insight into Otherwise Brewing's sales data, but existing systems fell short. Driven by curiosity, he learned to write web hooks to connect inventory systems and create real-time dashboards. This innovation streamlined operations and demonstrated his ability to turn curiosity into actionable solutions.Stellar's community-building skills are best illustrated by the Otherwise Brewing taproom. She takes time to connect personally with customers, remembering names and stories while introducing people to one another. This thoughtful, inclusive approach has fostered a grassroots community of gluten-free beer lovers. “At any given time, you'll see people from all walks of life bonding over our beers,” Stellar said.Tips for Developing Aaron's Superpower:Ask “Why not?” when faced with conventional ideas or approaches.Pursue curiosity with action—learn new skills or experiment to find solutions.Embrace challenges as opportunities to innovate.Tips for Developing Stellar's Superpower:Take time to truly listen to people and remember their stories.Create inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome.Focus on building relationships by introducing people with shared interests.By following Aaron's and Stellar's example and advice, you can make curiosity and community building a skill. With practice and effort, you could make these superpowers that enable you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileAaron Gervais (he/him):CEO, Otherwise BrewingAbout Otherwise Brewing: Otherwise Brewing makes gluten-free beer using a proprietary process that allows us to match the flavors beer-lovers expect—with no limitations on style.

Riah Knight ist eine echte "Renaissance-Frau": Sie spielt Theater, veröffentlicht Gedichte, moderiert Radiosendungen – und macht Musik. In letzterer Angelegenheit ist die Romani-Britin heute Abend zu Gast im studioeins, denn sie hat vor Kurzem eine neue EP herausgebracht. "Wicked Laughter" heißt diese, und wartet mit fünf spannenden Songs zwischen Trip-Hop, R'n'B und Performance-Poetry auf. Produktionstechnisch unterstützt von Shaban (Käptn Peng & Die Tentakel von Delphi) wirft die 28-Jährige mit ihrem neuen musikalischen Werk "ein spekulatives Licht auf die dunkleren Seiten der Weiblichkeit, indem es das Zusammenspiel von Liebe und Lust, Wut und Verletzlichkeit beleuchtet und sich vom Leben berüchtigter ungehorsamer und 'böser' Frauen* inspirieren lässt." Dabei ist es fast ein bisschen überraschend, dass die in Berlin lebende Knight überhaupt die Zeit dafür gefunden hat – schließlich steckt sie gerade mitten in den Proben für eine kritische "Carmen"-Adaption, die Ende Januar im Maxim Gorki Theater Premiere feiern soll, und war früher im Jahr als Teil des feministischen Kollektivs Glossy Pain mit der Produktion "Lie With Me" beim Einburgh Fringe Festival zu Gast. Vermuten wir also mal, dass die Musik für sie einfach auch eine (weitere) unverzichtbare Herzensangelegenheit ist, die ihren Platz im Leben fordert … und freuen uns, dass Riah Knight heute Abend für ein Interview zu uns kommt, und natürlich anschließend ein paar Songs live performt.

When it comes to an engaging poetry unit, I believe the #1 building block is performance. There's something about watching contemporary poets stand up and deliver their work that is undeniably engaging. Kids might hate the piece they see performed. They might love it. They might feel their skin crawl watching it because they think the poet is so awkward... or get goosebumps because it so exactly describes their own experience. But whether they love it or they hate it, in my experience, they're INTO it. They're THERE for it. And they love debating about it. So today on the podcast, I want to talk about performance poetry, and how to use it in your classroom. By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with my favorite clips, lesson ideas, and classroom event possibilities.

Ellen Thea is an award-winning performance poet, drummer, dancer, and holistic counselor, utilizing tarot, astrology, crystals, and energy work. Her journey has taken her from New York City to South Florida to rural Alaska. She has been writing and performing almost her entire life, learning to write & starting dance at age 4 with her first audition (on a Broadway stage) at age 5, writing and performing short original sketches by third grade. Ellen's father, a talented visual artist, both inspired and intimidated her. Growing up in the cultural wonderland of NYC in the '50's, '60's and '70's, Ellen chose to use words and movement as both her paintbrush and medium. Ellen received a bachelor's degree in psychology with an (almost) minor in theatre from Union College, Schenectady, NY 1978. Her master's degree is in marriage and family therapy with a specialization in medical family therapy from Nova Southeastern University, Davie, Florida 1996.  After college Ellen moved to South Florida where she had her three children. After suffering a head injury from a vicious mugging, Ellen heeded the counsel of a Cherokee medicine woman, who sent her to Alaska for a healing walk. Ellen's awards include Bitterroot Poetry Magazine Award 1986, the Douglas Freels Poetry Award 2002, the Dancing Poetry Competition 2013, and the Poetry Matters Award 2014. Her book, "On My Way To The Apocalypse" (a 55 page non-linear prose poem), was published by Dingaroo Press in 2012. (That same year, Ellen became a grandmother.) She's created and performed original works (full shows and as a featured artist) in New York, Florida, Ohio, Michigan and Alaska. Her work (both writing and esoteric) has been featured on the radio. Ellen's also been a newsreader and d.j. on the local radio station. In addition, she's created several specialized curriculums & workshops for children through adult learners.

In this episode, Al interviews writer, poet, and mental health advocate Rene Mullen (recorded 2-7-18). Rene describes a childhood of being bullied that eventually drove him to self-harm (cutting) while just a sixth grader. Rene also describes a messy breakup that his parents went through and his father's attempted suicide. After years of cutting and using alcohol to self-medicate, Rene finally found support while attending college. He eventually found poetry to be a venue that allowed him to unpack the issues of his past and to face reality. Rene now writes, participates in Performance Poetry, and hosts his own podcast, Pen & Poet. You can find out much more about Rene, listen to the podcast, and check out his blog by going to renemullen.com. In addition, you'll find Rene on Twitter @RMullenWriter and Facebook.
