Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

Most people would agree that lawyers and doctors should have professional licenses and oversight to protect the public from malpractice. But does the licensing system actually serve its intended purpose? In this episode, join host Janelle Wrigley for an insightful conversation with Professor Rebecca Haw Allensworth of Vanderbilt Law School, as she discusses her book, ‘The Licensing Racket: How We Decide Who Is Allowed to Work and Why It Goes Wrong'. Professor Allensworth delves into the complicated, and occasionally fraught, world of professional licensing, including in law and medicine, exploring how the licensing system affects workers and consumers alike. They discuss the unintended consequences of self-regulation, impacts on innovation, and ideas for reform. With real-world examples and thought-provoking insights, this episode sheds light on a topic that impacts our daily lives more than most of us might realize.

Le président congolais, contraint par le poids du conflit, a accepté d'ouvrir la voie à des négociations directes, sous l'égide de la médiation angolaise ».Aveu de faiblesseDes négociations entre la RDC et le M 23, dont la perspective n'est pas du goût de tout le monde. Actualité.cd donne la parole à l'ODEP, l'Observatoire de la dépense publique, une organisation de la société civile, qui dit « craindre que la participation du président congolais aux discussions de Luanda, soit perçue comme un aveu de faiblesse, compromettant davantage la position du pays sur la scène diplomatique ». « Toute initiative de dialogue », estime l'ODEP, « doit se faire dans un cadre qui préserve les intérêts fondamentaux de la RDC et garantisse sa souveraineté ». L'ODEP qui prévoit, à une date qui n'est pas encore connue, « une marche pacifique », « une mobilisation symbolique » pour, ajoute Actualité.cd, « affirmer le rejet catégorique de toute tentative de soumission ou d'asservissement du pays ».Plaintes sans suiteDans la presse africaine également, « le racket routier ». C'est un article de Bamada.net au Mali, selon lequel « les Maliens vivant dans les milieux ruraux sont exposés à des excès de tous genres de la part de certains agents de l'État ».  « Racket routier », « abus d'autorité », énumère Bamada.net, selon lequel « les abus s'observent notamment sur les axes routiers stratégiques. A chaque poste de contrôle, les policiers et gendarmes arrêtent les gens pour des vérifications qui n'en finissent pas ». Et ce n'est pas tout : « il y a pire que le racket en milieu rural », ajoute Bamada.net, « ce sont des agents de sécurité qui sont soupçonnés de braquage, entre les cercles de Banamba et Kolokani ». Le racket, « un danger qui guette l'AES, l'Alliance des États du Sahel », estime le site d'information malien, qui ajoute : « on se demande comment le gouvernement malien n'arrive pas à trouver un début de solution à ces abus d'autorité », « ces pratiques qui minent les efforts d'intégration de l'AES. » « Les autorités de ces pays sont régulièrement saisies des plaintes des victimes » remarque Bamada.net, « mais celles-ci restent sans suite ».Femmes résistantesDirection le Sénégal, avec cet article de Sénéplus.

Mais Fatoumata Bernadette Sonko a bien d'autres choses à dire. Regrettant que « les filles soient condamnées à s'épanouir dans le silence, au moment où les garçons sont préparés à s'approprier l'espace public, à parler pour exister, voir à brasser de l'air pour se donner de l'importance ». Qu'en est-il des filles et des femmes ? « Elles sont biberonnées à la résignation tranquille et à la tétanie » s'indigne Fatoumata Bernadette Sonko, « elles savent que les serrures de leurs portes sont d'une fragilité extrême en raison des maltraitances institutionnelle, sociale, économique et médiatique ». « Hors de question », ajoute toutefois l'enseignante sénégalaise, « de sombrer dans le découragement, le mot de ralliement est : Résistances ».

In his new book, DEI Exposed: How the Biggest Con of the Century Almost Toppled Higher Education, Dr. Ridgley dismantles the pseudoscience behind DEI and reveals it as a multi billion dollar ideological scam that has corrupted academia, suppressed intellectual inquiry, and enriched a class of professional grifters. Professor Giordano and Dr. Ridgley discuss how DEI has transformed universities into activist training centers, why some colleges will attempt rebrand DEI rather than eliminate it, and how the bureaucracy fueled this corrosive ideology.

Should you need a license for that? For law professor and antitrust expert Rebecca Haw Allensworth, there are huge problems with professional licensing in America—and her solutions might not make anyone completely happy.  In her new book, The Licensing Racket: How We Decide Who Is Allowed to Work, and Why It Goes Wrong, Allensworth takes a deep dive into the history and function of licensing in the United States. While licensing boards are put forth as a way to protect consumers, Allensworth says that in practice, their decisions can be arbitrary and their disciplinary functions flawed. In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Allensworth and the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles chat about a range of professions that currently require licenses, from hairdressing to law and medicine. While disciplinary procedures for lawyers are not open to the public, she was able to attend a number of proceedings for health care workers accused of wrongdoing, and what she found sometimes shocked her—and even shocked some of the people responsible for making those disciplinary decisions. She shares some of those stories in the episode. The Licensing Racket argues that licensing should be done away with for many professions. For those that remain, however, Allensworth believes much more must be done by government agencies rather than allowing professions to self-police themselves through volunteers and licensing boards

When we think about "red tape" and the cost of regulation it's hard to overstate the impact of professional licensing. According to Professor Rebecca Haw Allensworth, it's bigger than unions and more expensive than sales taxes. Millions of American workers are required - by law - to obtain a license in order to work. This barrier of entry depends on requirements set by licensing boards staffed mainly by members of the profession they oversee. It limits the number of people who can serve and also confers on licensees a certain degree of prestige and trust.  In The Licensing Racket: How We Decide Who Is Allowed to Work, and Why It Goes Wrong (Harvard UP, 2025), Allensworth goes deep into a complex web of conflicting priorities.  Whether it's hair stylists or doctors, plumbers or lawyers, licensing board members are asked to simultaneously represent their personal practice, fellow professionals, and the public. They have to literally "wear three hats", which leads to well-intentioned, but deeply flawed and biased, decision making. Consumers depend on licensing boards to ensure that professionals maintain high quality and reliability standards by creating - and enforcing - licensing standards.  In reality, their decisions can be maddeningly arbitrary, creating unnecessary barriers to hopeful practitioners while simultaneously failing to protect the public from bad actors who abuse the trust placed in them. Despite good intent, board members lack the resources and sometimes the will to investigate even serious disciplinary cases. The consequences include, but are not limited to, the failure of medical licensing boards to remove the abusive doctors who fueled the opioid crisis and a system that allows unethical predatory lawyers to continue to practice, often targeting clients who are unable to protect themselves. While in some areas licensing is deeply flawed, in others it is critical to a well-functioning society. Allensworth argues for abolition where appropriate and reform where it is most needed.

Licensing began with medicine and law; now it extends to 20 percent of the U.S. workforce, including hair stylists and auctioneers. In a new book, the legal scholar Rebecca Allensworth calls licensing boards “a thicket of self-dealing and ineptitude” and says they keep bad workers in their jobs and good ones out — while failing to protect the public. SOURCES:Rebecca Allensworth, professor of law at Vanderbilt University. RESOURCES:"The Licensing Racket: How We Decide Who Is Allowed to Work, and Why It Goes Wrong" by Rebecca Allensworth (2025)."Licensed to Pill," by Rebecca Allensworth (The New York Review of Books, 2020)."Licensing Occupations: Ensuring Quality or Restricting Competition?" by Morris Kleiner (W.E.
