Discovering Saint Anthony: If You Ask For Miracles: Prayers of a Catholic Community in Pittsburgh by Doretta Lonnett Whalen, PhDThrough a spiritual awakening initiated by the death of a loved one–and of all things, a missing earring–the author, despite feeling unworthy, reveals surprising experiences which led her to Saint Anthony of Padua. One of the world's most beloved religious figures, St. Anthony made his mark as a popular preacher in the early thirteenth century. Regardless of creed, people invoke him on a range of issues, but especially Catholics do, who cultivate the belief that saints can intercede on our behalf. Dr. Whalen focuses on the saint's powerful connection as a "finder" in presenting dozens of engaging stories—heartbreaking to hilarious—she collected as part of an oral history project conducted in her Catholic parish just before the COVID pandemic. The result is an inspirational, entertaining book that fosters faith and hope in these uncertain timesDoretta Whalen is a retired adjunct professor: at University of Pittsburgh, teaching Jazz Voice and inheriting the popular History of Jazz, named Editor's Pick Best Class by The Pitt News in 2013; at Penn State Greater Allegheny founding PSGA (Penn State Greater A Cappella) Melody Lions. As host of American Public Radio show on WYEP 91.3 FM Pittsburgh,“Cruise Control for a Sunday,” she interviewed guests and created “Classic Jazz Revue” voice-over episodes. Her dissertation on jazz vocalist Billie Holiday suggests that exposure to chant helped shape her singing style. Doretta serves the church as cantor and volunteer. She teaches voice in her home studio. Her pastimes include texting with her grandchildren, swimming, tap dancing, flower and herb gardening, and learning Spanish on Duolingo.dorettawhalen@gmail.com  https://www.amazon.com/Discovering-Saint-Anthony-Community-Pittsburgh/dp/1631294458http://www.mainspringbooks.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/41323msb.mp3

Hey hey! Welcome back. Bear with us this week, Nicolette's away so we had to attempt a Zoom episode. We tried, okay? First off the bat, Ailish dives into a chat about the importance of representation in the arts, after the talented and diverse cast of the Australian Hamilton was announced. She references this Junkee article by Rashna Farrukh that has some great quotes, as well as this opinion piece by Devi Ruia for Pitt News. Bella takes us into the world of sport and females throwing their hats in the ring to be a head coach of a male dominated sport. It stemmed from former national netball coach Lisa Alexander's application for the vacant North Melbourne AFL coaching position. Bella is a gun at all things sports discourse, so she helps the other girls along the way. They reference this great article by Kasey Symons for The Guardian, and here's a few others from ABC News, The Australian and News.com. Nicolette brings a juicy topic to the table — single women using sperm donors to have children. It's a wild ride and a super interesting chat. Have a read of this personal essay Alexandra Collier wrote for The Sydney Morning Herald. Plus we recommend two uplifting podcasts, a serious article from Mamamia and a new album. Thanks for listening, we'll be in your ears again next week! Connect with the podcast on Instagram and follow us on TikTok. You can find Bella, Nicolette and Ailish on Instagram too.

I start by talking about Memorial Day and my thoughts on what food to recommend. I talk about school being done this week and what lies ahead. It’s slow news for Pitt, except for some projections. As always, people don’t seem to respect Pitt. Tiger/Peyton vs Mickelson/Tom Brady was great and I think the PGA should do this format.

It's Thursday, October 17, 2019.

I am a 25-year-old journalist based in Harlem, NY. I was born in Trenton, NJ and got my start in journalism as the sports editor for The Pitt News. I have lived, studied, traveled or written all over United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Iceland, Israel, Egypt, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, China, Alaska, and West Texas, which I've come to consider a country of its own. Over the course of eight years, I've reported on racism that drives sports fandom, how Harlem is combating gang violence, what harsh rhetoric and 9/11 security has done to our borders and the most unique home in America. My re-telling of the infamous murder of William Vassar won me a first place award in Pittsburgh's Neighborhoods in Transition writing competition. My endorsement of Hillary Clinton received over four million views and altered the conversation around millennial support of the Democratic nominee. Yahoo subsequently named me one of the 16 people who shaped the 2016 election alongside Khizr Khan, Bo Copley and others.In 2015, my investigative piece on predatory payday loans changed public policy when it was cited by Maxine Waters in a letter to congress urging Universities and retirement plans to divest from certain lending services. After losing several classmates to heroin overdoses, I took a deep dive into what caused our country's epidemic of opioid addiction. I have covered everything from gay rodeos to why G-d doesn't care about football.When I left The Huffington Post, where I started my professional writing career, I worked alongside Ashton Kutcher and a talented team to build A Plus, one of the world's largest positive news outlets. We are home to the silver lining. My work has appeared on CNN, The Huffington Post, Medium, The Daily Mail, A Plus and more. A Plus was recently acquired by Chicken Soup for the Soul. You can check out my weekly column "A Grain of Saul" on A Plus every Tuesday morning. You can follow me on Twitter here, where I spend an inordinate amount of time tweeting angrily about America.   http://www.goingdeepwithaaron.com/podcast   Connect with Isaac Facebook Twitter Website If you liked this interview, check out episode 17 for the first interview with Isaac.

The last time I saw Lisa Campbell, she was naked. It was almost thirty years ago, when I was in junior high and she was the latest Hot Young Thing, smiling invitingly at me -- and thousands of other lonely guys -- from the pages of Playboy Magazine... Now, as she stood in my office waiting room, cashmere sweater folded neatly over her arm, I had to admit that the years since had taken their toll... -- Dennis Palumbo, Phantom Limb I had such a terrific, full conversation with Dennis, I almost don't know where to start the show notes. First, make sure you check out his website, DennisPalumbo.com, where he has info on all of his books, not to mention news and links and even short stories to read.  Speaking of short stories, you can read his wonderful Christmas mystery, "A Theory of Murder," which features no less a detective than young patent clerk Albert Einstein, at Lorie Lewis Ham's online magazine, Kings River Life. It appeared on Robert Lopresti's list of 10 of the best mystery short stories he's read. Check out the multi-author blog SleuthSayers.org (what an awesome blog title!) I go all fan girl on "My Favorite Year," one of my favorite movies ever. If you haven't yet seen it, you are in for a treat. And if you have, well, it's always a good time to re-watch it. Here are Dennis' Daniel Rinaldi books, in order: 1. Mirror Image 2. Fever Dream 3. Night Terrors 4. Phantom Limb In addition, he's written a sci-fi novel (City Wars), a nonfiction collection of essays (Writing from the Inside Out, which we discuss in the interview), and a collection of short stories (From Crime to Crime). His first Daniel Rinaldi short story will appear in February in an anthology from Poisoned Pen Press.  And if you are as fascinated as I am by his combination of Hollywood experience and psychological insight, you can also check out his Psychology Today blog, Hollywood on the Couch. Finally, we gave a shout out to Vicki Delany, who also wrote novels while holding down a full-time job. You can check out my interview with her right here. As always, if you'd rather read than listen, the transcript is below. Enjoy! -- Laura Transcript of Interview with Dennis Palumbo Laura Brennan: Dennis Palumbo is a former Hollywood screenwriter, a licensed psychotherapist in private practice, and the author of the Daniel Rinaldi mystery series. He also writes short stories and essays, blogs for the Huffington Post, and contributes a regular column to Psychology Today called “Hollywood on the Couch.” Dennis hasn’t just done it all, he makes it all look easy. Dennis, thank you for joining me.  Dennis Palumbo: It's my pleasure, Laura. LB: You have done so much, so well, let's start at the beginning. Did you always want to be a writer? DP: Pretty much from my youth, I would say from about 10 or 11 or 12. You know, reading comic books and comic strips and right around then I began reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Robin Hood. I've just always loved storytelling. And particularly mysteries and thrillers. And, yeah, I’ve always liked writing and liked doing it. It was my favorite thing to do in high school and college, was writing essays or short stories. I actually came to Hollywood and was still writing -- the only writing I had done that had seen print was writing for the Pitt News, which was the newspaper of the University of Pittsburgh from which I graduated. And when I came to Hollywood, I was writing short stories and sending them all over the place and also writing scripts trying to break into television. It was very unusual, the same week my then-writing partner and I got our first writing job, which was the first episode of “Love Boat,” by the way. The same week that happened, I sold my first story, mystery short story, to Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine. It was just amazing, that week, I'll never forget that week. I was only like, 24, 25. That was a good week. I was very, very lucky.
