Hello, Protagonists,Welcome back to Letters from the Creative Life. These occasional essays explore the quieter corners of living: small reflections on art, ambition, and the tender balancing act of building a meaningful life in a noisy world. Think of them as letters from my life to yours. Enjoy!The Invisible Thread: What Authors and Readers Offer Each OtherYears ago, when I was still unpublished and hungry for any connection to the literary world, I had the opportunity to be the conversation partner for a well-known author visiting our local bookstore. I spent hours preparing for the event, and on the day of, I asked thoughtful questions and felt genuinely excited about the discussion we had on stage.But afterward, when she didn't follow me back on social media, I felt stung. Didn't she appreciate what I'd done for her as host in our local community? Wasn't I worth a simple follow?It wasn't until years later, when I was published and began experiencing the reality of public-facing author life, that I understood. That well-known author wasn't being snobby—she was protecting her sanity. The event we'd done together was just one stop on a long tour, one conversation among dozens, not to mention all the press and interviews online. It wasn't mentally healthy for her to follow every bookseller, every conversation partner, and every reader who wanted a piece of her digital attention without drowning in the noise.Then vs. NowThere was a time when a novelist's job was simply to write novels. Authors like J.D. Salinger and Harper Lee could disappear from public view entirely, letting their work speak for itself. Readers had to seek out authors through carefully crafted interviews or rare public appearances, if they encountered them at all.Today, the expectation is radically different. To sell books in the current market, authors are expected to be accessible, relatable, and constantly engaging. We share glimpses of our writing process and our daily routines, and some of us—like me here on Substack—build communities around our creative lives.This intimacy is beautiful, in many ways. But there's also a shadow side to this accessibility.When Knowing Becomes ClaimingThe challenge with parasocial relationships—those one-sided connections where someone feels like they know a public figure personally—isn't that they exist. Parasocial relationships have always existed. People have felt connected to actors, musicians, and even authors for as long as we've had public figures at all.The difference now is proximity and expectation, because digital platforms create the illusion of personal relationship. When an author shares a photo of their morning coffee or talks about their writing struggles, it feels like a text or video call from a friend. The human brain, which evolved for small communities where we actually knew each and every person we interacted with, struggles to distinguish between true intimacy and technologically-enabled accessibility.This confusion can sometimes lead to a sense of ownership over an author's time and attention that feels different from other relationships. Almost every author I know has, at some point, been on the receiving end of a reader lashing out because they were disappointed/upset that the author didn't respond to their email, DM, or social media post.But if we step back and try to look at this objectively, isn't this strange? For example, if a friend recommends a restaurant to you, the friend doesn't expect the chef to come out and personally thank them.Yet, in a world where technology creates a parasocial mirage, it's easy to forget that authors might be fielding hundreds or even thousands of similar messages, or simply taking a much-needed break from being online.The New RealityI think about Suzanne Young, who told me about co-authoring a book with Tom DeLonge from the band Blink-182. During a book signing, a fan approached with scissors because he wanted to cut a piece of Tom's hair to keep as a souvenir. Tom's bodyguard intervened, and afterward, Tom turned to Suzanne and said something like, “Isn't it crazy when that happens?” She laughed and told him that that doesn't happen to authors, it only happens to rock stars.That conversation happened years ago. I'm not sure it would be as clearly true today.Recently, bookstores have had to implement security policies that would have seemed unthinkable just a few years ago. At some events, signs now explicitly state that authors “do not owe fans access, attention, or physical proximity simply by virtue of being public figures.” The fact that this needs to be spelled out shows how normalized certain expectations have become.What We Already Give Each OtherInstead of focusing on the negatives, though, I now want to turn this around and look at the wonderful things we all do for each other. I think it's good to remember that, above all, we love books and we love storytelling. That beautiful common ground is what brings readers and authors together in the first place.What strikes me most about the author-reader relationship is how generous it is on both sides. Readers invest their precious time and emotional energy in our stories. They champion books they love, create communities around shared reading experiences, and offer the kind of support that sustains authors through the inevitable challenges of creative life. This generosity moves me every single day.And authors? We keep showing up to the page, sometimes when inspiration feels elusive, because we know there are readers who need the stories only we can tell. We share parts of ourselves through our work, trusting that these offerings will find their way to the people meant to receive them.The invisible thread between author and reader is real, and it's powerful. Despite what I said before about parasocial relationships, platforms like Substack, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc. are great for allowing us to connect like never before. We just all need to remember to set and keep respectful boundaries of mutual admiration. When we honor both the magic of that connection and the humanity on both sides of it, something extraordinary happens. The stories we share and love become bridges between us—not because we know each other in real life, but because we recognize something true and universal in the work itself.What we offer each other—story and attention, creativity and care—is already enough. Everything else is simply a gift.What brings you the most joy in your reading life? I'm always curious about the moments that remind us why we fell in love with books in the first place.

In this episode of Anime Minority Report, Jamie and Guerby ask the question no one's brave enough to scream at their screen during episode three: Why are anime protagonists' powers so damn boring?! From power boosts through sheer willpower to plot armor so thick it might as well be a second character, your hosts break down the rinse-and-repeat formula behind many main characters—and why, frustratingly, it still works. They also dive headfirst into the overpowered-isekai boom: Are fans flocking to anime where the MC is a god from day one because we're just done with the "one-trick power with endless yelling" narrative? Or are we all secretly power-hungry? Expect unfiltered hot takes, anime slander (in love), and laugh-out-loud moments with a side of anime wisdom. This episode will make you laugh, rethink your faves, and maybe even pause that mid-season filler arc. Click play—you'll thank us later.  

Sani kann den Tod seiner jungen Frau nicht akzeptieren. Er geht zurück an den Ort, an den er Nagi kennengelernt hat. Er ist auf der Suche nach einer roten Schildmütze, die Nagi damals verloren hat, als würde er sich vom Finden der Mütze Erlösung erhoffen, als würde durch die Mütze Nagi zurückkehren. In seiner Trauer und Verzweiflung ist Sani schwer zu ertragen. Auch seinen besten Freund Miyata provoziert und verletzt er. Ein so unsympathischer Protagonist, der alle auf Abstand hält, kann einem fast den Film vermiesen.Aber nach der Hälfte des Films springen wir in der Zeit zurück und sehen, wie sich Sani und Nagi kennenlernen. Drei unterschiedliche Lebensentwürfe präsentiert der Film: Die Verzweiflung und den Zynismus von Sani, den Optimismus von Miyata und die unerschütterliche Ruhe des vietnamesischen Zimmermädchens. Sie hat am Ende die rote Schirmmütze – und das ist gut so. Eine Geschichte vom Nichtloslassenkönnen und vom Annehmen des Lebens, stark gefilmt, sehr sehenswert. Den Podcast haben wir direkt nach dem Film auf Nippon Connection 2025 aufgenommen. Am Mikrofon: Niklas, Hendrik und Thomas.

One of the best features from the Gen 2 Pokémon games was getting the chance to battle Red, the protagonist from the Gen 1 game. To this day, players have yet to experience that charm with the other protagonists we got the chance to play as over the years. If the others were given the same treatment as Red, what would their teams be?

How does your protagonist's final choice resolve the plot, character arc and theme? In this episode, Stu and Chas focus solely on the final choices made by protagonists and how that reflects their character journey and successfully, or not, dramatises the internal. We compare and contrast different uses of narrative POV in respect to these final choices, in particular whether and when the audience is made aware of the options available to the character, the act of making the choice, and the consequences of the choice.

Bei sommerlichen Temperaturen labern sich vier wohlbekannte prähistorische Geekosaurier mal wieder die Kehle wund, dank der vorhergehenden Regentage gab es natürlich auch genügend Gelegenheit Small- und Bigscreen-Erfahrungen zu sammeln und darüber zu sinnieren, was vor allem der Screenosaurus Christianus unbarmherzig durchgezogen hat. Trotzdem fühlt sich alles ein wenig anders an, diesmal - wenns sich der falsche oder zumindest unerwartete Protagonist in die Untiefen des öffentlich-rechtlichen wagt und Peter auch noch Andere anstiftet, es ihm gleich zu tun... wie kann das sein? Ist das noch Geekzone oder einfach zu viel Sonne auf die Rübe bekommen? Mit dieser Folge entlassen wir euch in eine kurze Frühsommerpause und kommen erst in vier Wochen wieder.

Ein Wikinger im Dienst der byzantinischen Kaiser – und auf dem Weg zur Krone Norwegens. Bei dieser Geschichte würde wohl kaum jemand zuerst an einen Wikinger denken. Und doch ist der Protagonist ein echter Abenteurer des Nordens: Harald Hardrada – der Harte. Schon als Teenager zieht er in die Schlacht – und muss danach ins Exil fliehen. Doch das ist erst der Anfang eines unglaublichen Lebenswegs: Er dient einem Großfürsten im heutigen Kiew, wird Elitesoldat und Leibwächter der byzantinischen Kaiser in Konstantinopel, kämpft in Sizilien, in Armenien – und wird Teil der Intrigen und Machtspiele des Oströmischen Reiches. Dann kehrt er zurück. Nach Norwegen. Und stellt den Thronanspruch, den er sich über Jahre hinweg erkämpft hat. Diese Folge führt uns von den Fjorden Skandinaviens über das Mittelmeer bis tief in den Osten Europas – und erzählt die Geschichte eines Mannes, der wie kaum ein anderer für das Ende der Wikingerzeit steht. Außerdem sprechen wir allgemein über die Wikinger: ihre Beutezüge, ihre Kultur und ihr Aussehen.

Das neue Buch von Mundartautor Dominic Oppliger spielt in einer dystopischen Welt. Die drei jugendlichen Protagonist:innen sind auf sich alleine gestellt - und zeigen, welche Kraft die Freundschaft hat. Überall Trümmer und überwucherte Ruinen, kaum Menschen. Eine Welt nach dem Kollaps der Zivilisation, wie wir sie kennen. Nicht einmal die Namen der Farben kennen die drei jugendlichen Protagonist:innen Rok, Tok und Sol mehr. Und auch Erwachsene tauchen in «Helsinki» kaum auf. Die drei kümmern sich so gut es geht umeinander, obwohl sie sehr unterschiedlich sind. Ihr fragiler Zusammenhalt wird auf die Probe gestellt, als Roks Kater Moh plötzlich verschwindet. Die drei begeben sich auf eine abenteuerliche Suche. Die dystopische Erzählung von Dominic Oppliger und Vincent Glanzmann entstand in der Covid-Zeit - als Mundart-Performance-Text mit atmosphärischer Klangbegleitung. Nun haben die beiden Autoren den Text gleichzeitig als Buch und als Hörstück veröffentlicht. Im Buch fallen die schwarzweissen Illustrationen von Eva Rust auf - im Hörstück der rhythmische Klang von Dominic Oppligers Stimme sowie der bisweilen beklemmende, ununterbrochene Instrumentalsound von Vincent Glanzmann. Hoffnung nach dem Untergang «Helsinki» entführt junge und erwachsene Lesende gleichermassen in eine andere Welt, wo vieles, was wir für selbstverständlich halten, nicht mehr existiert. Die Protagonist:innen sind auf sich alleine gestellt. Im Verlauf der Geschichte zeigt sich, welche Kraft Freundschaft und Zusammenhalt haben. Für ihn sei es eine sehr hoffnungsvolle Geschichte, sagt Dominic Oppliger im Gespräch an den Solothurner Literaturtagen, an denen diese Sendung aufgezeichnet wurde. Wie «Helsinki» zwei jungen Lesenden gefallen hat und wie sie mit dem Mundarttext umgegangen sind, hören Sie in der Sendung, moderiert von Literaturredaktorin Britta Spichiger. Angaben zum Buch: Dominic Oppliger und Vincent Glanzmann: Helsinki, Der Gesunde Menschenversand 2025, 140 Seiten.

Send us a textWhat if the voices in your head, your doubts, your drive, your deepest wounds, weren't just background noise, but characters in a play that you could rewrite?In this episode of The Self Help Antidote, we dive into the transformative world of Anonymous Drama, a creative approach to emotional wellbeing that blends improv, wellbeing, psychology, and storytelling. Playwright, director and drama therapy advocate Mark Macnicol shares how creating scripts and characters, even if you have zero interest in “drama”, can help untangle emotional knots that feel too overwhelming to confront directly.We explore how this approach, born in places like maximum-security prisons and inspired by the therapeutic roots of improv, can help you step outside your own story just enough to see it clearly. Learn how the three core characters, the Protagonist, the Inner Critic, and the Inner Mentor mirror the ongoing dialogue in your own mind, and how naming these voices creates the space for intention, self-compassion, and conscious choice.This isn't about becoming someone else. It's about finally hearing yourself.Because once you recognize who's talking in your head, you get to decide who's actually in charge.Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Why We Vote, hosts CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by special guests Kayla (The Protagonist) and Tino Bambino for an in-depth investigation into political money laundering, digital identity theft, and the systemic manipulation of U.S. elections. The duo shares their firsthand experience working on a nationwide citizen journalist operation initially launched under the O'Keefe Media Group, uncovering how elderly Americans, many unaware, are having their identities hijacked to funnel millions through platforms like ActBlue. Tino recounts his fieldwork confronting a supposed top donor in Colorado, revealing a woman living in a retirement home who had no idea over $200,000 was attributed to her name. Kayla outlines the scale and method of the fraud, from addictive Facebook donation prompts to absurd levels of micro-transactions used to fabricate donor data. Together, they explain how this scheme, dubbed "smurfing", violates multiple federal statutes, yet continues unchecked. But the bombshells don't stop there. The guests drop insight on WinRed's similar tactics, the bipartisan nature of political laundering, and how NGOs are complicit in exploiting migrant crises for cash and influence. From fake grassroots narratives to taxpayer-funded digital pipelines, this episode exposes the tangled web of corruption fueling America's controlled opposition, and why citizen journalism might be our last line of defense. Packed with footage, field reports, and a healthy dose of righteous outrage, this episode is a must-watch for anyone who still believes your vote, and your name, should belong to you.

Diese Frage versuchen diesmal André, Antje und Schröck zu beantworten, indem sie nicht nur die Kino- und Streamingneustarts dieser Woche, sondern auch die der vergangenen sowie das komplette Programm der FANTASY FILMFEST NIGHTS beleuchten. Dabei wird es ordentlich blutig, denn nicht nur eine Mörder-Maus und ein Killer-Einhorn machen in SCREAMBOAT und DEATH OF A UNICORN Jagd auf mal mehr, mal weniger unschuldige Opfer. So richtig schmerzhaft wird es vor allem im Fall SHADOW FORCE, dem vielleicht schlechtesten Film des Jahres 2025. Außerdem bläst ein Altbekannter zum Angriff auf die Oberschicht, denn der Protagonist aus MUXMÄUSCHENSTILL meldet sich in einem zweiten Teil zurück. SYSTEMSPRENGER-Star Helena Zengel muss derweil ein kleines knuffiges Fantasiewesen vor ihrem blutrünstigen Vater beschützen und begibt sich in dem zauberhaften Abenteuerfilm DIE LEGENDE VON OCHI auf eine Odyssee durch wunderschöne Landschaften und Wälder. Wunderschön wäre gern auch die Hauptfigur aus THE UGLY STEPSISTER, einer radikalen Neuinterpretation des Märchens „Aschenputtel“ - und für André, Antje und Schröck das Highlight auf den diesjährigen Fantasy Filmfest Nights. Da können die drei schon beim Trailer kaum hingucken, der nicht zufällig Erinnerungen an THE SUBSTANCE weckt. Seid daher gewappnet für allerhand Exzesse und Schmierigkeiten, aber auch für viel Herz und ein bisschen (NETFLIX-)Action in dieser prall gefüllten Ausgabe von KINO PLUS.

We sat down with Melody Jue for a second episode to discuss her new work Coralations, a fascinating deep dive into the coral we know and the coral we need to know. Though tropical corals inundate perceptions of coral, there are other deep water and cold water coral that have different connections or coralations to anthropogenic climate change. By rethinking "normative coral," new media across photography, sci fi, and more come into the light.   For more about Melody Jue:   Website: Melodyjue.info Email: mjue@ucsb.edu   Guest Reading Recommendations:  a book of waves - Stefan Helmreich   ASLE EcoCast: If you have an idea for an episode, please submit your proposal here: https://forms.gle/Y1S1eP9yXxcNkgWHA   Twitter: @ASLE_EcoCast Lindsay Jolivette: @lin_jolivette Alex Tischer: @ak_tischer   If you're enjoying the show, please consider subscribing, sharing, and writing reviews on your favorite podcast platform(s)!
