Wolf Hour (Knopf, 2026) When a small-time criminal and gun dealer is shot down in the street, all signs point to Tomas Gomez, a quiet man with a mysterious past—and deep connections to a notorious gang—who has seemingly vanished into thin air. Other murders soon follow, and it appears Gomez is only getting started. Meanwhile, Bob Oz, a down-and-out suspended police officer with a dubious past of his own, becomes fascinated by the case: he is obsessed with the notion of hunting down a serial killer who only he can understand, a killer with a story as tragic as his own. Minneapolis, Minnesota, 2022. An enigmatic Norwegian man with ties to Minneapolis—a self-described crime writer—has traveled to the United States to research the Gomez case, in the hopes of writing a book about it. But as his investigation progresses, the writer's seemingly neutral position reveals itself to be more complicated than the reader is initially led to believe. Wolf Hour is a twisty and unforgettable thriller in classic Jo Nesbø style, which bears out Vanity Fair's observation that “Nesbø explores the darkest criminal minds with grim delight and puts his killers where you least expect to find them. . . . His novels are maddeningly addictive.” Learn more about your ad choices.

[REBROADCAST FROM June 17, 2025] You know Toni Morrison the writer, but what about Toni the editor? As she rose in literary fame, Morrison also worked in publishing as a senior editor for Random House, the first black woman to hold such a title in the company. Dana A. Williams, professor of African American literature and dean of the Graduate School at Howard University, discusses her new book about Toni Morrison's career as an editor, Toni at Random: The Iconic Writer's Legendary Editorship, which includes stories about the authors she shaped, and her efforts to change publishing for the better. Toni at Random is nominated for Outstanding Literary Work (Biography/ Autobiography) at this year's NAACP Image Awards.

Born Chloe Ardelia Wofford in Lorain, Ohio, Toni Morrison rose from a working-class Midwestern childhood to become one of the most influential literary voices of the 20th century. From her early days studying at Howard and Cornell to her trailblazing career as an editor at Random House—where she championed African American writers—Toni's path was as powerful as the stories she told. We dive into the emotional depth and historical weight of novels like Beloved, The Bluest Eye, and Song of Solomon, examining how Toni centered Afrian American interior lives with lyricism, honesty, and unflinching truth. In 1993, she became the first African American woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, cementing her place in global literary history.

Aussehen und Stimme wirken echt, die Erklärung sitzt – aber irgendwas stimmt nicht. Genau in diesem Moment kippt Faszination in Unbehagen: Willkommen im sogenannten Uncanny Valley, dem „Gruselgraben" zwischen menschlich und menschenähnlich. In der neuen Folge unseres Podcast spricht Jasmin Baake mit Host Matthias Begenat über ihre aktuelle Forschung zu KI-generierten Avataren und deren Wirkung auf uns Menschen. Die zentrale Frage: Wie steht es um das Vertrauen in künstliche Avatare in der Wissenschaftskommunikation? Jasmin Baake untersucht, wann uns künstliche Avatare helfen und wann sie unser Vertrauen zerstören. Ihre Studie „Balancing Realism and Trust: AI Avatars In Science Communication", die sie gemeinsam mit Josephine B. Schmitt und Julia Metag veröffentlicht hat, liefert wichtige Erkenntnisse für den Umgang mit generativer KI in der Wissenschaftskommunikation. Zur Studie: Baake, J., Schmitt, J., & Metag, J. (2025).

paypal.me/LibroTobias ko-fi.com/asier24969 Creo que este relato, “La medida de las cosas”, os va a gustar tanto como a mí. En él Samanta Schweblin narra el extraño caso de Enrique Duvel, rico por herencia, que desde los primeros compases de la narración demuestra su querencia por la juguetería que regenta el personaje narrador. Lo fascinante de la historia es que apenas podemos intuir qué camino va a seguir el hilo narrativo, pues el personaje narrador, que tiene un conocimiento limitado de lo que está por ocurrir, cuenta los acontecimientos tal como suceden, sin explicaciones, sin anticipar, sin aportar conclusiones. Él mantiene, en cierto modo, el mismo extrañamiento ante el discurrir del cuento que el propio lector. “La medida de las cosas” forma parte del libro Pájaros en la boca y otros cuentos, Random House, 2017.

"Conocer a Simón lleva al protagonista de esta novela de autoficción a recordar el día que probó el sabor de su propia sangre por primera vez. Entonces era un niño flaco y desorientado que sentía curiosidad por el maquillaje, escuchaba a Shakira y se inventaba secretamente tramas de telenovelas; ahora redacta horóscopos en el periódico sin saber nada sobre astrología mientras trata de superar una ruptura echando mano de los recuerdos y de su escritura."Conversamos en el #TraficantesDeCultura con Pedro Carlos Lemus, escritor colombiano, autor de Lo Llamaré Amor, libro editado en Chile por RANDOM HOUSE.Conduce: Humberto Fuentes

You ever wonder why you can't eat just one chip? Or why chicken tastes different than it did decades ago? In this episode, I break down how the food industry engineered salt, sugar and fat to hit your brain's “bliss point,” how fast food reshaped American farming, and why profit became more important than public health. From factory-raised chickens to feedlot beef to grocery store manipulation, we're unpacking how the system was built—and what you can actually do about it. Spoiler: it's not a willpower problem.

In this conversation, Vassilis Douros and Marc Binkley delve into the complexities of measuring ROI in marketing. They discuss common misconceptions about ROI, ROAS, and MER, emphasizing that these metrics often lead marketers to focus on short-term efficiency rather than long-term effectiveness. The duo highlights the importance of collaboration across teams to ensure that marketing promises align with operational capabilities, ultimately driving sustainable growth. They advocate for a shift in focus from mere ratios to understanding the broader implications of marketing investments on future cash flow and customer relationships.If you're being measured purely on short-term efficiency metrics, this conversation will change how you think about growth.ROI isn't a marketing number. It's a team sport.TakeawaysROI is often misunderstood as a measure of efficiency rather than effectiveness.Chasing high ROI can lead to short-term thinking and limit growth.Marketing success requires collaboration across teams, not just within marketing.The promise to the customer must be memorable, valuable, and deliverable.Focusing solely on financial ratios can obscure the true health of a brand.Long-term ROI is built on consistent delivery of promises to customers.Marketing should be viewed as a growth driver, not a cost center.Incrementality is crucial to understanding the true impact of marketing efforts.Operational efficiency is key to fulfilling marketing promises.Winning in marketing is a team sport, requiring alignment across departments.Chapters00:00 - Understanding ROI in Marketing03:00 - The Dangers of Chasing High ROI05:57 - The Importance of Team Collaboration09:55 - The Promise to the Customer11:58 - Shifting Focus from Ratios to RevenueSources:Ambler, T.

Since the start of this century, businesses have confronted a series of extreme and constant disruptions, including technological upheavals, a pandemic, and a global financial crisis. As a result, today's leaders, from startup founders to the managers of global giants, face unprecedented pressures from their bosses, investors, customers, peers, suppliers, and employees. For many, it's a recipe for disaster.Part of the problem is that these challenges, while acutely felt, are rarely articulated in a way that makes them graspable and actionable. Robert E. Siegel has witnessed the impact of these cross-pressures from different perspectives. As a lecturer in management at Stanford's Graduate School of Business, an operator, a venture capitalist, and a consultant, he sees countless teams of managers, at all sorts of companies, struggling to lead their companies into the future.Featuring exclusive lessons drawn from inside the business world, including from the CEOs of Accenture, Mubadala, Kering, Wells Fargo, and Box, The Systems Leader: Mastering the Cross-Pressures That Make or Break Today's Companies (Random House, 2025) is the essential guidebook that teaches readers “systems leadership,” Siegel's holistic framework that helps leaders understand and master five key dimensions where they are likely to feel contradictory pressures:• Priorities: The need to succeed at both execution and innovation• People: The need to project both strength and empathy• Sphere of influence: The need to focus both internally and externally• Geography: The need to think both locally and globally• Purpose: The need to pursue both ambition and statesmanship Learn more about your ad choices.

Violeta Gil nos presenta Andábamos maravillados (Ed.

Random House), una doble biografía en la que Lili Anolik indaga en la complejísima relación que mantuvieron las escritoras estadounidenses Joan Didion y Eve Babitz.Luego, Javier Lostalé abre su ventanita poética de par en par a Arcén (Ed.

A conversation with celebrated author George Saunders about his new novel, Vigil, and what fiction can teach us about empathy, self-awareness, and mortality. George Saunders is the bestselling, award-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo, Tenth of December, and many other books. His new novel, Vigil, tells the story of a woman who died in 1976 and has spent the decades since comforting the dying—until she encounters a former oil executive responsible for early climate change denial. In this conversation, Dan and George talk about: Why George keeps writing about ghosts and the afterlife (hint: it's not just about mortality dread) The lavish empathy at the heart of Vigil—and whether we should extend that empathy even to people doing civilizational damage What George calls "warm metacognition"—the practice of dropping back out of your thought loops to examine what kind of goggles you're wearing How fiction can turn your mind into a "reconsideration machine" (and why that matters in real life) The difference between kindness and niceness George's relationship with death anxiety, which he's had since childhood and which has only intensified with age What George has learned about listening from teaching and hosting his Substack, Story Club Why the older he gets, the more important it is to stretch himself creatively His advice for dealing with stuckness (in writing and in life): curiosity over self-accusation George's new novel Vigil is out January 27th from Random House. Check out his Substack, Story Club, where he discusses classic short stories with an incredibly thoughtful community.   Related Episodes: George Saunders on "Holy Befuddlement" and How to Be Less of a "Turd"   Get the 10% with Dan Harris app here Sign up for Dan's free newsletter here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel   To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/10HappierwithDanHarris  

Hello, media consumers! Welcome to the January Issue. This month, Bryan and David come together to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Truman Capote's ‘In Cold Blood' being published by Random House. This episode is broken into four chapters, just like the non-fiction novel. Bryan and David start Chapter 1 by discussing Truman Capote himself, and how he was the podcast guest before there were podcast guests (03:20). They have a conversation about who is comparable to Capote in the modern age (09:09), why non-fiction with the style of fiction hits the reader the way it does (17:22), and why Capote wanted to combine these styles (21:04). In Chapter 2, the guys dive into the relationship between Capote and the killers of the Clutter family (26:41), Capote's journalistic good luck (31:54), and his interviewing techniques (37:21). In Chapter 3, Bryan and David talk about what they made of ‘In Cold Blood' after re-reading it (1:01:51), Truman Capote's fabulism (1:05:48), and whether ‘In Cold Blood' would have been as successful if Capote had said it was almost all true (1:12:14). In Chapter 4, Bryan and David take a look at the impact ‘In Cold Blood' has had on the media (1:14:43). They discuss ‘In Cold Blood' being the invention of true crime (1:16:06), and what the heirs of the book are (1:22:32). The January Issue ends with Bryan and David recommending other books you might like if you enjoyed reading ‘In Cold Blood' (1:30:27). All that and more, here on The Press Box.

Anna and Geoff discuss the cancellation of Adelaide Writers' Week 2026 amid the controversy after the Adelaide Festival Board disinvited Palestinian-Australian writer Dr Randa Abdel-Fatteh.  Among the authors who withdrew from Writers' Week was Richard Flanagan, who wrote this article (sorry for the paywall).  Director Louise Adler resigned with this letter to the Guardian. Since we recorded this episode, the new Board has retracted the decision and apologised to Dr Abdel-Fatteh.   In other book news, Random House has dropped David Walliams, as discussed on this episode of The Rest is Entertainment podcast.   Our book of the week is THE SAFEKEEP by Yael van der Wouden, a debut novel set in 1960s Netherlands which was shortlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize and won the 2025 Women's Prize.   Coming up: SEASCRAPER by Benjamin Wood.

There was a time in the mid 20th century, the literary historian Gayle Feldman reminds us, when the book business was cool. Back then, New York publishing resembled Silicon Valley tech and the Mark Zuckerberg of his day was the Random House founder Bennett Cerf. In her new biography of Cerf, Nothing Random, Feldman tells the story of this celebrity entrepreneur, noting that he helped pioneer the publishing industry's venture capitalist style business model which enabled hit authors like Ayn Rand or Dr Seuss to finance start-up writers like Cormac McCarthy. Those were the days, a slightly wistful Feldman reminisces. She's right. If only today's corporate publishing industry could recapture some of that Cerfian magic. Then books might become cool again.

At the beginning of the year, cartoonists Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar made their predictions for the coming year — and set goals for themselves. Now, as the year comes to a close, it's the brutally honest follow-up episode where they grade themselves — and sometimes discover that Past-Brad and Past-Dave were wildly optimistic. Or deluded. Or both.2025 PREDICTIONSDAVE: Business planning for cartoonists is gonna be filled with a lot of anxiety. Trump will be a chaos agent.BRAD: the “winners” of 2025 will be the cartoonists and businesses that help people *deal* with anxiety.DAVE: Bluesky will be at 50M users by the end of the year (we were at 23M when he made that prediction)BRAD: Substack: will gain in prominence. They're going to have a user base in the same league as Patreon, Kickstarter, or Twitter.DAVE: “We will all be playing reactionary, whack-a-mole with our life decisions in the first two years of the Trump administration.”BRAD: AI will start to gain a foothold among writers and artists, as an assistant to their writing or their process or their brainstorming. Dave concurred.

Send us a textThis week, we are talking about boundaries — not the kind that build walls, but the kind that help us stay loving, honest, and grounded… especially during the holidays.  In this episode, I slow it down. We talk about what boundaries actually are, where the word even comes from, and why boundaries usually show up right when life feels stressful, overwhelming, or just a little too much. I share a personal story, reflect on The Giving Tree, and explore how boundaries can protect us from becoming emotionally depleted — without shutting people out. If the holidays bring joy and stress for you…If you've ever felt resentful but didn't know why…If you've ever said yes when you meant no…This episode is for you. Quote of the Week  Brené Brown“Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.” Citations Brown, B.

The Author Events Series presents Nicholas Boggs | Baldwin: A Love Story In Conversation with Rachel L. Swarns Baldwin: A Love Story, the first major biography of James Baldwin in three decades, reveals how profoundly the writer's personal relationships shaped his life and work. Drawing on newly uncovered archival material and original research and interviews, this spellbinding book tells the overlapping stories of Baldwin's most sustaining intimate and artistic relationships: with his mentor, the Black American painter Beauford Delaney; with his lover and muse, the Swiss painter Lucien Happersberger; and with his collaborators, the famed Turkish actor Engin Cezzar and the iconoclastic French artist Yoran Cazac, whose long-overlooked significance as Baldwin's last great love is explored in these pages for the first time. Nicholas Boggs shows how Baldwin drew on all the complex forces within these relationships-geographical, cultural, political, artistic, and erotic- and alchemized them into novels, essays, and plays that speak truth to power and had an indelible impact on the civil rights movement and on Black and queer literary history. Richly immersive, Baldwin: A Love Story follows the writer's creative journey between Harlem, Paris, Switzerland, the southern United States, Istanbul, Africa, the South of France, and beyond. In so doing, it magnifies our understanding of the public and private lives of one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century, whose contributions only continue to grow in influence. Nicholas Boggs was an undergraduate when he discovered James Baldwin's out-of-print children's book, Little Man, Little Man: A Story of Childhood, in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. After he tracked down its illustrator, the French artist Yoran Cazac, he went on to coedit an acclaimed new edition of the book in 2018. His writing has also been anthologized in The Cambridge Companion to James Baldwin, James Baldwin Now, and Speculative Light: The Arts of Beauford Delaney and James Baldwin. He is the recipient of a 2023 Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Leon Levy Center for Biography, the Beinecke Library and Gilder Lehrman Center at Yale, the Schomburg Center Scholars-in-Residence Program, and the National Humanities Center, as well as residencies at Yaddo and MacDowell. He received his BA in English from Yale, his MFA in creative writing from American University, and his PhD in English from Columbia. Born and raised in Washington, DC, he lives in Brooklyn, New York. Rachel L. Swarns is a journalist, author and associate professor of journalism at New York University, who writes about race and history as a contributing writer for The New York Times. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Society of American Historians and her work has been recognized and supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Ford Foundation, the Leon Levy Center for Biography, the Biographers International Organization and others. Her latest book, The 272: The Families Who Were Enslaved and Sold to Build the American Catholic Church, was published by Random House.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, Gary Jenkins interviews bestselling author Mark Shaw about his explosive new research into the JFK and RFK assassinations — and the hidden role of New Orleans Mafia boss Carlos Marcello. Shaw breaks down newly uncovered FBI documents, including Marcello's alleged 1985 prison confession claiming involvement in JFK's murder. We explore Marcello's long-running war with Robert Kennedy, the suspicious death of journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, and significant inconsistencies in the official story of RFK's assassination. This conversation challenges the lone-gunman narrative and exposes how organized crime, politics, and government investigations may have collided to shape American history.

Welcome!

Audiobook sales have been on the rise for many years, and they show no signs of stopping; so many independent publishers are hoping to take advantage of this boom. But there are important factors to consider first. Will the return on investment be worth the cost of producing an audiobook? How do you produce a quality audiobook on a lean budget? What genres perform the best as audiobooks? Do you market your audiobook differently than your print and ebooks?Podium Entertainment has had great success in the audiobook market, so Publisher Victoria Gerken joins the podcast today to answer those questions, as well as discuss their transition from being an audiobook-only publisher to now also publishing print and ebooks.PARTICIPANTSVictoria Gerken is the Publisher at Podium Entertainment. She has welcomed independent authors into the Podium family since 2016. She previously worked with authors in traditional publishing roles - at Random House and Alfred A.

While he may have been called a demagogue and a counterfeit Mussolini, Huey Long had some darn tootin' good ideas—mainly taxing the rich into oblivion. Strange Country cohosts Beth and Kelly talk about Long's rise to populist power in the 1930s and the corruption in its wake, but also how much a 65% tax increase on the rich makes a whole lotta sense. Like Long said "We only propose that, when one man gets more than he and his children and children's children can spend or use in their lifetimes, that then we shall say that such person has his share. That means that a few million dollars is the limit to what any one man can own." Theme music: Big White Lie by A Cast of Thousands Cite your sources: Burns, Ken, director. Huey Long.

In this week's show Lian is joined by Jane Teresa Anderson BSc Hons. Jane Teresa is a dream analyst, dream therapist, author, podcast host, and mentor, living in Hobart, Australia. Published by Hachette, Little Brown (Piatkus), Random House, and Harper Collins, Jane Teresa Anderson is the author of seven books about dreams and dreaming, and her 2024 debut fiction novel, Ninth Life. She is a frequent guest in the media and an accomplished radio dream talk-back expert, interpreting callers' dreams for more than 1,500 shows across commercial and ABC stations. Jane Teresa hosts a long-running podcast series, The Dream Show with Jane Teresa Anderson, where she analyses her guests' dreams and shares dream interpretation tips and insights. The Dream Show celebrated 16 years (and 290 episodes) in May 2025.  With an Honours degree in Zoology specialising in developmental neurobiology from the University of Glasgow, (graduating as Jane Teresa Newton), Jane Teresa has been researching dreams since 1992 and developing and teaching dream alchemy practices (exercises) that shift perspective and reprogram unconscious limiting beliefs.  In early 2017 she established The Dream Academy as a platform to deliver her courses online. Jane Teresa's approach to dream analysis, dream therapy, and dream alchemy is based on her independent research and on deep work with clients since 1992. She consults by Zoom. In this episode, Lian and Jane look at dreams in the most grounded and personal way. Jane shares her journey from neurobiology to a radio experiment that became a major research project. They explore how dream images grow from the last day or two of lived experience, how the mind pulls old memories into the mix, and why this approach differs so deeply from symbol-driven or archetypal methods. The conversation turns towards what actually makes sense in practice… how personal dreamwork reveals what the mind is trying to update and how a symbolic image changes the moment you speak it aloud. Listen if you have ever been chased by a recurring dream, wondered whether outlandish scenes mean anything, or sensed that your dreams are trying to move something in you that daylight has not touched. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: How personal dreamwork differs from symbol-based or archetypal interpretation, and why it lands more cleanly Why telling a dream aloud brings new clues to the surface and begins to shift the inner pattern What happens when you rewrite a dream image through simple dream alchemy and feel the effects the next day Resources and stuff spoken about: Jane Teresa's Website The Dream Academy Join Jane Teresa on Instagram & LinkedIn Join UNIO, The Community for Wild Sovereign Souls: This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.
