Tucker Bryant shares how the creative mindset that drives poets can also unlock modern leadership.

Chemicals used to treat water is a US$10 billion market hiding in plain sight—fragmented, consolidating, and far more strategically interesting than the name suggests. Bluefield's latest water treatment chemicals analysis mapped nearly 500 companies across the space. In this episode, Bluefield analyst Caroline Vauclain joins host Reese Tisdale to unpack what she found—including why the top 10 players control just 30% of facilities and 80% of companies run only one to two locations. The conversation covers five key questions shaping this market: With nearly 500 companies mapped, how fragmented is the water treatment chemicals market—and what's most surprising about the landscape? Chemical prices are up 36% since 2019—is it inflation, supply disruptions, or something else driving the increase? Hawkins made 16 acquisitions in five years, USALCO is similarly aggressive — what's fueling all this M&A activity? What's fueling the wave of M&A activity, with Hawkins logging 16 acquisitions in five years and private equity-backed firms driving 20 of 78 deals since 2020? Why are chemical companies like Kemira and Ecolab suddenly acquiring software and digital monitoring firms? How did Cargill, Morton Salt, and bioethanol producer POET end up in the water treatment business?

Poet, prozator, traducător, profesor al Facultății de Litere a Universității Lucian Blaga din Sibiu, activist și intelectual public, Radu Vancu este una dintre cele mai importante voci ale literaturii române actuale. Am stat de vorbă cu prilejul apariției anul trecut a romanului Paradis și a reeditării romanului Transparența, ambele la editura Polirom. Deși este un roman distopic, în lumina conflictelor militare nenumărate de astăzi, criza morală descrisă în Paradis devine din ce în ce mai probabilă, în timp ce spectrul unui regim totalitar dedicat ștergerii umanului în numele unui Bine abstract devine o posibilitate din ce în ce mai realistă. În lumina acestei noi configurații politice, la cel de-al 48-lea episod al Podcastului Narativ, am discutat cu Radu Vancu despre posibilitățile literaturii și ale conștiinței scriitorilor de a se opune instaurării barbariei și de a apăra demnitatea umană (Cezar Gheorghe).

John has released at least fifteen albums, more than half of these under the name King Missile, but even this name covers three different bands, since John until recently didn't play any instruments, so his music is always collaborative with one or more music writers. Apart from his various musical projects, he's published around 50 books of poetry and publishes poems every day on his Facebook page. We discuss "Her Cock is True" from the yet-to-be-released King Missile album Quest for Fire, "Eating People" from The Psychopathology of Everyday Life (2003), and "Sensitive Artist" from Fluting on the Hump (1987).

Emily interviews Brian Robinson, a Silicon Valley teacher, lawyer, swim coach, and poet, about what matters most to him right now: showing up for his children as a father. Brian shares the story of his sudden cardiac arrest during swim practice in May 2021, how teens at the pool got him help and an AED shock saved his life, and how his kids' voices on a Zoom call helped wake him from an induced coma. They talk about his recovery, how his kids have processed the experience over time, and the unanswered questions about why it happened. In the speed round, they touch on fatherhood, global athletic competition, resilience, classic poetry (including Rumi's “The Guest House”), physical and cardiac health, functional beverages, and superstitions. Brian also mentions his children's picture book about the experience, "You Called Daddy".More Info: www.BrianRobinsonAuthor.com00:24 What Matters Most Now01:07 Collapse at Swim Practice02:35 CPR and Hospital Coma03:32 Kids Wake Him Up05:06 New Perspective on Fatherhood10:06 No Warning Signs11:15 Matters Speed Round Begins13:52 Poetry and Mindfulness15:09 Health Habits and Hype Drinks17:37 Where to Find BrianThis podcast is brought to you by Matters.com.

What happens when a poet and a theologian decide to write letters to each other about faith? In this episode, I sit down with Christian Wiman and Miroslav Volf to discuss their book Glimmerings and talk about the language we use for God and why it so often falls short, the tension between God's presence and absence, what the Book of Job has to say about suffering, and whether faith can survive, even deepen, without easy answers. It's a conversation about holding paradox, paying attention, and what it looks like to keep believing in the middle of real life.Miroslav Volf is the Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School and the founding director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture. His books include Exclusion & Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation, winner of the 2002 Grawemeyer Award in Religion. His Gifford Lectures (2025) are titled Amor Mundi: God and the Character of Our Relation to the World.Christian Wiman is the Clement-Muehl Professor of the Arts at Yale Divinity School.

Please SUBSCRIBE to Psychopedia wherever you are listening! He fancied himself a poet, but in reality, was a murderous cannibal. José Luis Calva Zepeda, dubbed the Cannibal Poet, murdered at least one woman in 2007 - his girlfriend, Alejandra Galeana - and dismembered her body inside his home. When police entered his Mexico City apartment, they discovered body parts stored in plastic bags and human meat simmering on the stove. Further investigation linked him to additional murders of even more women, marked by extreme violence and post-mortem dismemberment. The horror of the Cannibal Poet lies not just in the cannibalism, but in the psychology: a man who romanticized himself as a tortured intellectual while reducing women to consumable objects...literally.

"Bad ass." Chatter rolls with Claude, David, Torie, and COB fave Louis Bayard. They revel in the Olympics glow and mourn again Washington Post layoffs, the loss of "Book World" in particular. Poet, teacher, and inspired author Rebecca Lehmann zooms in to share "The Beheading Game." Few are brave enough to tackle the well-trod ground of Anne Boleyn, the first of Henry the Eighth's six wives to lose her head. Lehmann does so with imagination, empathy, and provocative thinking. Could not put it down.

A lifelong lover of books and language, Danyelle shares how writing became both her refuge and her roadmap, helping her process difficult relationships, reclaim her sense of self and choose peace over confusion. She shares the catalyst that prompted her to write her debut poetry memoir, “All the Things I Never Said,” while reflecting on the role of sisterhood, community and self-trust in her healing journey. She looks back on how Tri Delta helped shape the foundation of the woman she continues to become. Listeners will be gently reminded that choosing yourself isn't selfish, that clarity takes courage and that even the hardest chapters can lead to something meaningful.

Planet Poet-Words in Space – NEW PODCAST! LISTEN to my WIOX show (originally aired February 10th, 2026) featuring poet Barbara Leff. Barbara, joining the show from San Francisco, discusses and reads from her books AND GOD SAID…A Brief History of Creation, and Undertow. Planet Poet's Poet-At-Large, Pamela Manché Pearce, also appears on the show. Born and raised in New York, Barbara Leff discovered poetry at the age of 12 and has explored the genre ever since. Her work has appeared in various journals, including Fourteen Hills, Fault Line and Ibbetson Street. Her first collection, AND GOD SAID . . . A Brief History of Creation, finalist for the DA VINCI prize for the book cover, is based on the Book of Genesis and published by Broadstone Books. Her second Collection, LUCK, a collaboration with visual artist, David Maxim is devoted to forms and her most recent collection, UNDERTOW was published in 2024, also by Broadstone Books. She lives in San Francisco with her wife, Arlene Singer, and their dog, Baxter. barbaraleffpoet.com, pamelampearce.comPraise for AND GOD SAID . . . A Brief History of Creation …AND GOD SAID... is a brilliant retelling of The Book of Genesis, one of the foundational texts of Western culture. The biases, gaps and silences of the original are given voice and texture by Leff's humane and compelling imagination which brings a fresh and passionate angle of vision to these familiar stories, transforming in the process not only our understanding of our religious past but also of the contemporary life which is in part a product of that past. This is a wonderful and exhilarating book --- Alan Shapiro, Author of ten poetry collections including Tantalus in Love and Old War Poems Praise for UNDERTOW ….These deftly crafted poems treat the quotidian, the metaphysical, and the magical- “as if I could grab a handful of stars from the sky and toss them on the tiles at your feet.” Sharply observed, heartrending and celebratory by turns, UNDERTOW conducts us through a lifetime of landscapes its fascination with orientation in shifting memory and place becoming our own.--Susan Cobin, Author, What You Choose
In this episode of the Italian American Podcast, Dr. Maria Giura, acclaimed poet and memoirist, joins Marianne and Patrick for an intimate conversation centered on her new poetry collection, If We Still Lived Where I Was Born. Reading selected poems aloud, she evokes childhood memories above her family's Brooklyn pastry shop and the rituals of Sunday gatherings that shaped her imagination. The discussion moves beyond nostalgia to the delicate art of writing about family while respecting privacy. Dr. Giura reflects on the weight of Italian American cultural expectations, the instinct to "keep things in the family," and the resolve required to tell one's story with honesty. She also speaks about the guidance of her mentor, poet Maria Masiotti Gillin, and the particular challenges and rewards of working as both memoirist and poet within a close-knit community. At its heart, the conversation considers the universal tension between loyalty and self-expression. Through memory, tradition, and careful craft, Dr. Giura demonstrates how personal history can be transformed into art that resonates across generations and cultures.

Shen Tao has always wanted to be a writer. For as long as she can remember, she's had ideas, developed characters, and written stories. It took her 9 attempts, 9 manuscripts, to finally get it done. Her debut is 'The Poet Empress'. It's a Chinese historical fantasy, blended with a love story and a murder mystery. It tells the story of a young woman, who enters the Imperial Court as a concubine, and learns poetry-magic to try and kill the heir to the tale. We talk about how she pushed on, through the failed manuscripts, and had an idea she knew would be a winner. A winner it was, eventually being bought in a 6-way auction.You can hear why she's prepared to chuck words away, why she writes a '0th draft', and how her routine has changed since going full-time.We chat about the pressure of getting it right, her unique inspiration blending both Chinese and Western myths and stories, and Shen shares her strong font opinions.Get a copy of the book - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineRead the newsletter - writersroutine.substack.comSupport the show - patreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

House Ag Committee releases new farm bill text, USDA headlines and a new report projecting more soybean acres in 2026 are some of this week's top agriculture stories. Today's show breaks down what the latest “Farm Bill 2.0” proposal could mean for producers and shares reaction from ag groups, including the National Pork Producers Council, which expressed appreciation for language addressing California's Proposition 12. USDA updates include a new $1 billion one-time assistance program for specialty crop and sugar growers, news that the number of U.S. farms declined by 15,000 in 2025 and expanded disaster payments for producers impacted by catastrophic drought, flooding and wildfires in 2023 and 2024. Additional headlines this week include a report forecasting steady growth in the U.S. agricultural equipment market and a new partnership between NASCAR and POET to promote zero-carbon bioethanol. In market news, a new CoBank report projects soybean acreage will increase nearly six percent to 86 million acres in 2026. In this week's interview, we discuss how pork producers are working to improve efficiency while maintaining strong animal welfare standards as they evaluate barn updates and expansion plans. Hyatt Frobose, North America commercial director at Jyga Technologies, shares insights on helping producers navigate renovation decisions amid policy pressures such as Proposition 12, while maintaining operational flexibility.

Preston & EZ BlueZ: The Poet God by WNHH Community Radio
Part of the reason my guest, French filmmaker Boris Lojkine, has been so amazingly successful with his films, most recently SOULEYMANE'S STORY (2024), is his humility and understanding of how to portray people not like himself.Instead of making a "Parisian film about a middle age couple in the crisis of existential bullshit" -- his words -- he has made feature films that depict the life of an immigrant. Paris was the setting for his latest film, but he wanted it to come across as a foreign ZIP code.This was all borne out of his roots as a documentarian, and I am simply in awe of his story. And the fact that he eschews all social media. You're living the dream, Boris.In this episode, Boris and I discuss:why he's gone beyond most French filmmakers to show France from the outside;how he got his start in filmmaking as a philosophy teaching, making two documentaries in Vietnam;how narrative films can lose the reality of documentaries;the reason immigration factors into so many of his stories;if he's the right person to tell an immigrants' story;telling the story of female protagonists in his films;how Sean Baker helped him get distribution;if he's disappointed that his previous films aren't available for streaming;what led him to create SOULEYMANE'S STORY and the risks he took in making the film;the documentary feeling in his films and how he handles actors;does he see it as a compliment that other people are making films with similar stories?what's next for him and how filmmakers should be more adventurous.Boris' Indie Film Highlights: I ONLY REST IN THE STORM (2025) dir. by Pedro Pinho; A POET (2025) dir. by Simón Mesa SotoMemorable Quotes:"I started to make documentary films because my ex-wife was making documentary films and I saw how she was doing and I thought, okay, I will try to do my my own films too.""I wanted to make films abroad. I was not interested in making a Parisian film about a middle age couple in the crisis of existential bullshit.""There is the question of legitimacy and sometimes people, usually young people, younger people than younger than I am from, from another generation, they ask me, what's your legitimacy? And now I answer my legitimacy is zero. But because my legitimacy is zero, I have to work more.""I have to listen, and I think the most important thing in my work is not to direct, but to listen.""I was talking with a Congolese director. And my neighbor in the restaurant, he told me, oh, you are Boris. I watched your film yesterday and it's an incredible film. Let me talk to my friend Sean Baker, and he talked to his friend Sean Baker, who made a tweet. And the week after, we had a distributor, you know, sometimes you just have to eat Vietnamese in a restaurant."Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

In 1522, Anne Boleyn returned to the English court, and within a few years, she was already at the centre of political tension, whispered promises, and poetic legend. Long before Henry VIII began his pursuit, Anne was linked to two influential men: Henry Percy, heir to the Earl of Northumberland, and Sir Thomas Wyatt, courtier and poet. Did Anne Boleyn and Henry Percy secretly promise to marry? Was there a binding precontract, something that, under Tudor canon law, could have invalidated a later royal marriage? Why did Cardinal Wolsey intervene? And what really lies behind Wyatt's famous poem “Whoso List to Hunt” and its haunting line: “Noli me tangere, for Caesar's I am”? In this episode, I explore: Anne Boleyn's place in the Tudor marriage market The political implications of a precontract The Cavendish account of Percy and Anne The later denials in 1532 and 1536 The myths surrounding Thomas Wyatt The Spanish Chronicle story How Anne's reputation began forming long before she became queen Subscribe for more Tudor history deep dives, myth-busting, and documentary-style episodes on Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII, and the Tudor court. #AnneBoleyn #TudorHistory #HenryPercy #ThomasWyatt #HenryVIII

One of my favorite kinds of conversations is the kind where it feels like you've known someone for a long time — even if you just met them.That's exactly what this week's episode felt like with author and poet Tanner Olson.From the very beginning, it felt like we had a lot in common. What followed was a fun and insightful conversation about writing, creativity, faith, and his new book, Getting Through What You're Going Through, which releases on Feb. 17, 2026.Tanner shares how he got into poetry through a love of music, specifically punk rock, and a desire to put words to what he was feeling. That eventually led him into spoken word, traveling the country, and building a career out of something he never originally planned.We also talk about what poetry actually is — or maybe more accurately, what it doesn't have to be. Tanner explains how he approaches poetry as a way to communicate something deeper that helps people feel less alone.A big part of our conversation centers around the heart behind his new book. Much of it was written during a difficult season in his life, including walking through unexplained infertility with his wife, and the general weight of living through uncertain times.It's a conversation that, if you're familiar with what Emily and I have endured the last few years, hit pretty close to home for me.We talk about what it feels like to walk through seasons where you don't know when or if things will change, the tension between hope and doubt, the questions you bring to God when the answers don't come, and how sometimes, the goal isn't to rush past what you're going through, but to actually walk through it, one step at a time.Tanner's book is rooted in the idea that even in the middle of pain, confusion, and waiting, there are still words that can carry you forward.If you've ever felt stuck in a season you didn't choose, or wondered how to hold onto faith when life doesn't look the way you expected, I think this conversation will resonate with you.To connect with Tanner, you can find him on Substack under Tanner Olson, on Instagram @writtentospeak, and his website writtentospeak.com.You can find Getting Through What You're Going Through wherever books are sold.—I'd also love to connect with you.You can find me on Substack at The Road Ahead:coledouglasclaybourn.substack.comYou can also find more of my writing at:coleclaybourn.comAnd on social media:Instagram: @coleclaybournTwitter: @ColeClaybournFacebook: facebook.com/ColeDouglasClaybourn

In this episode, guest host Samiya Bashir writes… “Everyone is a hero to someone, or a beauty, or a problem, or all of the above. Today's poem acknowledges exactly that with a brutal, identifiable honesty. But what this poet insists that we remember is how we are all, also, even if not loved, then so, so very lovable.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
