Children's fiction studio founder Jasmine Richards (Storymix), publisher Natalie Doherty (Puffin and HarperCollins Children's Books), and bestselling author Soman Chainani (The School for Good and Evil) on shaping an idea commercial enough to sell, what makes a children's book impossible to put down, and trusting the unconscious to write it. You'll learn Why the most commercial idea is the one that centres its reader from the very first thought. How a single pithy log line can carry a book all the way from the slush pile to the playground. The counterintuitive trick of starting your story at chapter three. How to read what children are reading now so your pacing keeps up with theirs. What a publisher is really looking for when a manuscript lands on the desk — and why voice comes before plot. How the categories from early readers to YA actually break down on the bookshop shelf. The difference between weaving in a message and writing a book that feels worthy. The case for never self-censoring in a first draft, and saving the negotiation for later. How tiring out your conscious mind can unlock a freer, more instinctive way to draft. Why the goal of writing should be the writing itself, not the bestseller list.

In this wonderful episode, the eighth in the LDF series, "Women Outside the Garden," host Terri Petersen interviews and converses with Kim Hamblin, the founder of "Seeds of Life" life coaching services, which specializes in Mormon faith transitions as well assisting people of all spiritual backgrounds in figuring out their faith and allowing it to lead them to where they should be. They talk extensively about Kim's spiritual journey and the kinds of work she does with folks seeking to negotiate their Mormon lives (whether they are current or former members). At some point in her own journey she noticed that the word "question" starts with "quest," a term featured in hero/heroine journeys toward wholeness found prominently in books and movies in which the protagonist endures many trials before finding what is really important to them and decide how they should show up in the world in new (or more open-hearted, enlightened) ways. Her substack is called, "Doubting My Way to Faith," which says much about how the difficult processes involved in faith transitions is very much worth it. Kim's journey is one of over-thinker learning to also trust (and more deeply) what her body is telling her. What is going on deep within all of our souls that might be keys to magnificent growth and greater peace? We think you will enjoy this delightful conversation! Tune in, and go to Latterdayfaith.org to find links to Kim's contact info, as well as her substack and coaching website.

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes two very different – but beautifully complementary – guests whose books open the door to big family conversations. First, Jed chats with Rachel Peterson, author of the YA thriller Killing Sadie. Rachel, who describes herself as "aggressively pleasant," explains why such a cheerful person writes about murder, anxiety, and worst‑case scenarios. She shares how dark, campy thrillers and B‑horror movies helped her manage her own anxious teen years, and why today's teens may find comfort and "self‑therapy" in scary stories and true crime. Rachel walks us through the multi‑POV structure of Killing Sadie, the "dead girl talking" final act, and her fun craft tricks—like building playlists for each character to get inside their heads. Most importantly, she and Jed explore how the book can help parents and teens talk about unhealthy relationships, boundaries, and the power of trusting your own discomfort. Then we travel (virtually) to Tanzania to meet Jeremy Sherr, author of the middle grade novel The Noble Adventure of Beryl and Carol. Jeremy shares how a simple bedtime story for his daughters grew into an award‑winning adventure about two timid girls who, through moral choices and courage, grow into noble, resourceful heroes. He and Jed discuss modeling values through story, the importance of nature, "girl power" without aggression, and why short, cliffhanger chapters are perfect for read‑aloud time. Jeremy also offers a glimpse into his family's remarkable work providing free homeopathic clinics across Africa. This episode celebrates how stories—dark, thrilling, and heartwarming—can help families connect, reflect, and grow together.
The campaign advances into the season of Harvest! The company of Knights has not been idle in the intervening months, their individual quests taking them far afield.

The Iron and Mirror Knights do a great favor for a ranking member of the Sidereal Guard, but how much honor does this esteemed Order truly have?

After convalescing at the Aerie of the Wheeling Heavens, the company sets a course southward to the mouth of the River Meander, there to seek guidance from the Spectral Seer.

My son is convinced that he is going to die. But you, you must live and listen to us cleaning a dirty kitchen, making wild assumptions about rice farming, comparing geographical educations, eatin' up fields, getting ate up (personally), locating porn on the bookshelf, further developing Hunters Are A Joke theory, demanding a toy sword to cure a fake illness, realizing the non-humans are the most human, deeming a large bird to be a Head Honcho, loving big bird butt, eating over one thousand birds, and enacting a flawed bird conspiracy.

Season 4: Vicious Cycles starts on May 7th! This summer, the demigods of Mythik Quests have been challenged to take on ImpossibleQuests(TM)! What does that mean? Well... We're not quite sure yet. They're called things like "The New Labors of Hercules" or "The Hunt for the Lost Beast" -- and while some of those titles might seem like the point at a certain story, we know nothing's ever quite as it seems when it comes to a Quest. So, I'm going to do my best to prepare you with stories both familiar and strange! With these stories, we hope demigods everywhere will be ready to face down challenges of all kinds, whether you've found your way to a camp or not. So if you are at Camp Half-Blood, Camp Jupiter, Daring Girls, or Camp Mythik this summer, you'll need this information to prepare for the ImpossibleQuests – and if you're not at camp, you need it even more since you're out there as a solo hero. These things sound like they could drag in demigods and heroes from all over. So make sure you're subscribed! Episode One will be available to stream or download in two weeks, on May 7th, 2026! In the meantime, you can hear Shahrazad's messages and see the list of the season's Quests in the demigods-only portal on our website. Until then, stay brave, demigods!
If you're happy, try everything. Everything we tried to make us happy includes getting close to feet, seeming downhearted, reducing the cost of sleeping, refusing an apology, not wanting to get involved, assaulting a temple with powerful waves of pure hate, owing thanks to a bishop, suppressing Rykros information, receiving a free speedboat from our girlfriend, shipping a three way, embracing happiness, pretending to hate our idiot daughters, spending our youth in prison, and ripping off Sailor Moon.

John and Craig flip the idea of motivation on its head and ask, what are your characters running from? Using examples across film and TV, they look at the psychological underpinnings of discomfort, and how to use avoidance as a driving force of character and story. We've also been away for a minute, so there's a lot to catch up on! We follow-up on where the heck we've been, locked pages, a Scottish rap duo, and a new scientific answer for whether one page of script really equals one minute of movie. We also answer listener questions on the afterlife of residuals and writing with a significant other. In our bonus segment for premium members, we go through their feedback on our first ever video podcast and announce our plans for the future of the show.

You know what's an absolutely pesky kind of word to define in a dictionary? Colour names. A passel of lexicographers spent years - decades, even - trying different ways to describe colours in words for Webster's Third International Dictionary. It was such a huge, complicated effort that it took twelve years for former Merriam-Webster lexicographer Kory Stamper to write a book about it.Content note: this episode contains a couple of category B swears. There is also mention of puke - but, emetophobes, it's not the puke that you think.Visit theallusionist.org/hues for more information about the topics in this episode plus a transcript of the episode. Find Kory's work at korystamper.com, including her new book True Color: the Strange and Spectacular Quest to Define Color, from Azure to Zinc.This episode was produced by me, Helen Zaltzman, on the unceded ancestral and traditional territory of xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Even when life looks settled on the surface, something inside us can feel unfinished. In this episode, we explore that enduring restlessness — the ancient pull toward quests, journeys, and meaningful adventure. Drawing on epic myths, sacred pilgrimages, and modern turning points, we unpack why the longing for “something more” persists long after survival and success are secured. What if this ache isn't dissatisfaction, but initiation? What if it's a signal that growth is calling you forward? Together, we'll explore how adventure functions as a psychological and spiritual rite of passage — not always across continents, but within the landscape of your own life. If you've felt the subtle tug beyond comfort and routine, this conversation will help you understand it, honor it, and move toward it with intention. Because sometimes the next great quest isn't out there. It's the one unfolding within you.

This week we have four listener questions answered by our lore experts Joe and Matt. First, they discuss the Ethereals and what their timeline is in relation to the timeline on Azeroth. Has this race existed for years, decades, milennia -- or something different entirely. They pivoted to the dragons and their aspects, and how choice figures in. Chromie, for one, clearly got some element of choice in how she appears in her bipedal form. How might other dragons choose, and how might new discoveries change what they choose? Is Alexstrasza going to become a Kul Tiran? Then, we pivot a third time to the old-school class quests like the Paladin's Charger questline and how they tied in to the class fantasy of the player, plus how they might be brought back in the future. Finally, we pivot once more, back to where we started, with Ethereals. This time you asked about Ve'nari and her secretive nature. The Ecodomes hardly seem nefarious or easily sabotaged -- why did she keep them a secret from us?You ask us questions and we luckily have some loremasters on hand to explain the answers. If it were just me you'd be listening to hold music while I frantically scanned through everything in our Warcraft in print guide looking for something approaching an answer.
