Shadow and Bone is a fantasy series based on a successful set of novels. There's a lot to take in — at least six main characters, people who can wield wind and shadow and light, and a Chosen One. That all sounds familiar, but there's enough here to make this series worth your consideration. Shadow and Bone recently returned for a second season, so we thought it would be a good time to revisit our conversation recorded back in 2021 about its first season, featuring panelists Mallory Yu and Petra Mayer. Petra died unexpectedly later that year, and we always loved having her on the show. Even though we will always miss her terribly, we hope you'll agree how great it is to hear her voice, and her passion, in your podcast feed once again.

In part two of our exploration of the 2015 soundtrack to the musical Hamilton, the Deeper Cuts trio continue their discussion of the resonant themes in the musical that helped Shannon become the person she wanted to be and how music can help us set our values. We also talk about what Hamilton has to say about American history and the musical's use of references to other works. For this finale episode to the fifth series of the Deeper Cuts, Shannon, Graeme and Rob throw in everything but the kitchen sink (and possibly even that). Will we find a way to say no to this? Or will this episode still be the room where it happens? Join us and listen in to the discussion. You can listen to our Spotify Playlist, which covers just about every album in season five, as well as our Soundtrack Sessions from a few months ago. Also, don't forget to talk to us on Twitter (@deepercutscast) and to rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts!

This year's "Vox Pops" heard at the start of every episode included Dan Speerin (5.1), Tammy Cunningham (5.2), Erik Stadnik (5.4), Julie Hopkins (5.5), KatyBeth Schmid (5.6) and Nick Abadzis (5.7). Thanks to those wonderful people for helping out. The opening to 5.3 was a reprise of the one heard in episode 4.4, which featured NPR's Petra Mayer, who died this past November and who we all miss. Come back in a couple of days for our 2021 holiday episode! And we'll be back with more Deeper Cuts in 2022.

Our beloved friend and colleague Petra Mayer died suddenly a few weeks ago. This episode is for her. First, a conversation with NPR's Scott Simon and Sir Andrew Motion on The Folio Book of War Poetry, edited by Motion. Among her many nerdy interests, Petra was a self avowed "WWI poetry dork." The poetry is dark and moving, conveying universal feelings around loss. Then, a few quintessentially "Petra" pieces that capture her work and who she was. A conversation with romance author Beverly Jenkins and Petra talking about one of her favorite comfort reads, The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison.

Space opera? Narrative connections and context emerging? Yes, please: this is the episode that gave me faith in Chris Chibnall's arc. (This episode dedicated to the memory of NPR Books editor Petra Mayer.)

Petra Mayer, NPR Books Editor, and my good friend. Encore Episode. Petra died suddenly and tragically on November 13th. In tribute to her, this is an encore of the interview she did with me back when the show was called the Creative Mindset Podcast. If you want to know this wonderful, creative, talented, generous, and kind person, listen to this show. You will also learn a ton about writing, publishing, and being creative. --Original show notes-- NPR Books Editor, Petra Mayer  Petra Mayer is an editor (and the resident nerd) at NPR Books, focusing on fiction, and particularly genre fiction. She brings to the job passion, speed-reading skills, and a truly impressive collection of Doctor Who doodads. You can also hear her on the air and on the occasional episode of Pop Culture Happy Hour. Previously, she was an associate producer and director for All Things Considered on the weekends. She handled all of the show's books coverage, and she was also the person to ask if you wanted to know how much snow falls outside NPR's Washington headquarters on a Saturday, how to belly dance, or what pro wrestling looks like up close and personal. Mayer originally came to NPR as an engineering assistant in 1994, while still attending Amherst College. After three years of spending summers honing her soldering skills in the maintenance shop, she made the jump to Boston's WBUR as a newswriter in 1997. Mayer returned to NPR in 2000 after a roundabout journey that included a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University and a two-year stint as an audio archivist and producer at the Prague headquarters of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. She still knows how to solder.

It's that time of year when a lot of us are looking for a thrill — a good scary story just in time for Halloween. Petra Mayer of NPR Books shares a few favorites. And, Disney dropped a trailer this week for a new movie about the origin story of Buzz Lightyear from "Toy Story." Widely panned online, the movie still demonstrates how streaming companies are capitalizing on their intellectual property. NPR's TV critic Eric Deggans explains.

The latest film adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel Dune is set to be a box office smash. But why has Dune, a sci-fi novel published in 1965, remained so famous and popular?

Petra Mayer, an editor at NPR Books who focuses on genre fiction, joins us to discuss the lasting legacy of Dune and recommend some sci-fi novels that fans of Dune might enjoy.

Last week the White House announced a plan to help move the port of Los Angeles into 24/7 operating status. But that will only "open the gates" of the clogged global supply chain, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told NPR on the NPR Politics Podcast.

The clogged supply chain is leading to delays and shortage on all kinds of products. NPR coverage in this episode includes excerpts from Scott Horsley's report on a shortage of glass bottles, Petra Mayer's story on the slowdown in book production, and Alina Selyukh's look at shipping delays for children's toys.

In superhero stories, the public is usually there to be saved by the heroes or killed by the villains. But as a journalist, I always wonder if these people are well informed enough about the threats to their lives, and who is protecting them.

Plus, Petra Mayer of NPR, and journalist Liz Publika discuss why Spider Jerusalem is a model comic book reporter, even if he's completely gonzo.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows? In this last episode of our fourth season, the Deeper Cuts trio indulge in some comfort listening, true to our well-established Muppet Agenda. This time, it revolves around the soundtrack album to 1979’s The Muppet Movie. Saving his money from a paper route, a young Graeme bought this, his first self-financed music purchase and, as much as he loved the movie, this soundtrack was a separate and equally worthy experience for him. Years later, what value remains to be found between the grooves of this platter that still matters? What are the impressions of Graeme’s fellow musical sojourners who also have a history in Muppet fandom? Join us in this, our season finale, and let’s get movin’ right along!

Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to make a living no matter where in the world you are? You could be on vacation, or living in different places at different times of the year; and you wouldn't be subject to the whims of your employer moving its offices to a place you didn't want to go! Petra Mayer has lived on several different continents for various different jobs, so when she finally decided enough was enough and sought to create her own business, she wanted something "location independent" so she wouldn't have to move the next time her employer did! Now she teaches others how to do the same. Tune in hear Petra's story, where she lived and what she learned, and how she now can work from anywhere and helps others to do the same.

Graeme and Petra talk about the comprehensive quality of the film (and how it is very slighly analagous to the New York Yankees!) and touch on the suprising aspects (the effects Beatlemania had on youth culture, the brief intersection with the civil rights movement), marvel at the amazing archival finds and discuss how it stands up with other Beatles documentaries.

On the thirty-eighth edition of Reality Bomb we have a special live episode recorded in New York at The Way Station in Brooklyn with Graeme Burk and co-host Shannon Dohar.

In the sixth month of our year with the Beatles, Graeme Burk and Rob Jones are joined by NPR Books editor Petra Mayer in a far-ranging conversation about Rubber Soul that covers everything from the Beatles' sudden spike in maturity in songwriting to just what the ending of "Norwegian Wood" was about to how we reconcile the some of the more unpleasant attitudes toward women in the Beatles' songwriting with modern sensibilities. And then Graeme, Rob and Petra get into it about UK vs. US album releases and whether or not Capitol's choice for first song, "I've Just Seen A Face", was better than the band's choice, "Drive My Car".  For extra-credit homework, Graeme, Rob and Petra listen and watch the Beatles concert at Shea Stadium in New York in 1965 and ponder what were the great performances amid the noise and how easy was it to see that the four lads would soon do away with touring entirely.
