David Plotz talks with author Carl Hiaasen about his new book, Fever Beach. Fever Beach is a political satire that follows a couple of dimwitted white supremacists, a corrupt congressman, and the people that try to take them all down. They discuss the real-life racist event Hiaasen witnessed that inspired a central scene in the novel, how Matt Gaetz factors into the book, Hiaasen's next moves, and more.

This episode might make you ruffle your feathers. If it does, it means I'm hitting a nerve that needs to be hit. Here's what I'm NOT going to do:Pretend that your sticker charts are helpingAct like time-outs are teaching life lessonsTell you that you just need the "right" punishment systemHere's what I AM going to do: Call out the fact that we've been duped. Manipulated. Sold a lie by two dudes in lab coats who literally thought your child's brain works the same as a pigeon's. I'm not even kidding. BF Skinner actually said: "Give me a child and I'll shape him into anything." Your child. A blank slate. Just waiting to be programmed with the right combination of rewards and punishments. Feeling sick yet? You should be. I used to be you. Consequence Queen. Time-out Tyrant. The mom who had read all the books and had all the systems. And then one day, it hits me: I'm using the EXACT SAME METHODS on my kids that I use on my poodle. Sit = treat. Come = treat. Stop barking = treat. Clean room = sticker. Do homework = screen time. Stop fighting = avoid punishment. The kicker? My dog was better trained than my kids. At least she came when I called.

We cover what makes a great Bible overview book, how these resources have impacted our teaching and study, and which ones we'd recommend for new and mature believers alike.

Nom: AmélieEn lisant: Angel, Ronan Guillou (texte de Wim Wenders)Pourquoi voulais-tu lire ça ? Je suis d'abord tombée en amour avec une photographie (Tim Claar, serveur au Ruby's) puis avec tout le travail de Ronan Guillou. J'ai rencontré Ronan lors du lancement de Angel à la librairie photographique à Paris (Merci Kiki !). J'avais dans les mains le livre Once de Wim Wenders. Ronan a trouvé ça drôle. Il m'a dit comme il chérissait ce livre et que c'était justement Wim Wenders qui avait écrit le texte d'ouverture de Angel. Une jolie coïncidence ! Ronan nous a quittés il y a 3 ans et c'est avec beaucoup d'émotion que je lui rends ce petit hommage. Comment t'es-tu enregistrée ? L'exercice a été beaucoup plus compliqué que ce que je l'imaginais. Il y avait la structure et la poésie du texte et puis l'émotion. J'ai pensé changer de livre mais non, ça devait être celui-ci. Ronan Guillou, Wim Wenders, Leonard Cohen, c'était une évidence. J'ai commencé l'enregistrement chez moi, à Londres, un dimanche soir au coucher du soleil. Je crois que la lumière se devait d'être particulière. J'ai finalement terminé à Pornichet en France, chez mes parents, dans ma chambre d'enfant, dans un silence presque absolu. J'aime à penser que Ronan est passé par là, juste à ce moment-là./Why did you want to read this? I first fell in love with a photograph (Tim Claar, waiter at Ruby's), and then with all of Ronan Guillou's work. I met Ronan at the launch of Angel at the photography bookstore in Paris (Thank you, Kiki!). I had the book Once by Wim Wenders in my hands. Ronan found it funny. He told me how much he cherished that book and that it was also Wim Wenders who had written the opening text for Angel. A lovely coincidence! Ronan left us three years ago, and it's with much emotion that I pay him this little tribute.How did you record yourself? The exercise was much more complicated than I had imagined. There was the structure and poetry of the text, and then the emotion. I thought about choosing a different book, but no, it had to be this one. Ronan Guillou, Wim Wenders, Leonard Cohen—it was obvious. I began the recording at home, in London, on a Sunday evening at sunset. I think the light had to be special. I eventually finished in Pornichet, France, at my parents' house, in my childhood bedroom, in almost absolute silence. I like to think Ronan passed by, just at that moment.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks about Gavin Newsom's disastrous appearance on “The Shawn Ryan Show” where things got awkward fast when Shawn asked him a question from Joe Rogan about the damage caused by his COVID vaccine mandates for children and his draconian COVID policies, as well as if he would support gender affirming care for his child; FBI Director Kash Patel telling Joe Rogan how the Trump administration is investigating whether or not Dr. Fauci lied to congress and the general public about the origins of COVID; Linda McMahon showing the catastrophic degree to which the Department of Education accelerated failing public schools and the decline of American education: the press being surprised by LA Mayor Karen Bass' plan to solve illegal immigrants being too scared to go to their jobs; Scott Jennings getting CNN's Abby Phillip to defend child labor at marijuana fams; and much more.

My first live performance, a public spoken word reading from Leonard Cohen's novel Beautiful Losers I did back in The Sixties. I had just turned 19 years old. No music this time, but usually the Parlando Project combines various words (mostly literary poetry) with original music in differing styles.

Have you ever felt tempted to settle for a life that's “reasonable” instead of reaching for something greater? This episode dives into that exact feeling—when we start to believe that playing it safe is wiser than chasing the breakthrough we know we need. Listen to the article “Destiny, Dreaming, and Resisting the Reasonable.” This episode will help you identify the subtle ways we compromise, the lies that tell us to stay stuck, and how to break through the veils that hold us back. If you've ever felt called to more but weren't sure how to move forward, this conversation will inspire you to dream again, push past fear, and believe that God really can do the impossible in your life.Written by Russ Ewell.

Okay friends, confession time: I'm sitting here in my black hoodie, glasses on, looking like I just rolled out of bed (because let's be real, I kinda did), and I'm about to do something that might be brilliant or might be totally chaotic. Plot twist: I'm rereading my entire book on the podcast and calling it the I Andee Reads Between The Lines Series. Like, live. With all my current thoughts. And possibly some tangents about how I'm thinking about CMP right now. Here's What Went Down: Started with that gorgeous John Roedel poem that makes me cry every. single. time. Then I dove into reading my book's intro and had to pause because my 17-year-old daughter gave me a card last night that said "I know I can talk to you about anything and you'll always listen" and NOW I'M CRYING AGAIN. (Sorry, I'll pull myself together. Maybe. Probably not.) The Big Takeaways: Corrective parenting = Playing slots in Vegas (you might win occasionally but you're definitely losing overall) Connect Method Parenting = Smart pension fund investment (boring metaphor but CONSISTENT GROWTH, baby!) You already have everything you need inside you (I'm not being woo-woo, I promise, I just know you're AMAZING!!!!) What's Coming Next:Part 1: Get Ready to Go Against Tradition (aka why everything you learned about parenting might be backwards)Part 2: Understanding Your Own Behavior (spoiler: it's not actually about the kids

The moment Tiffany Graham Charkosky received the phone call that changed everything, she wasn't a child anymore—but suddenly, her childhood grief came rushing back. In this poignant episode of A Fresh Story, Tiffany sits down with Olivia Howell to share the emotional landscape behind her debut memoir, Living Proof: How Love Defied Genetic Legacy. What began as an unanswered ache—the loss of her mother to colon cancer at age 11—became a search for meaning, identity, and a way forward through the lens of genetic testing. Tiffany's story is not just about DNA; it's about motherhood, memory, and making peace with a future you didn't ask for.As she recounts her journey through grief, motherhood, and writing, Tiffany offers listeners a deeply honest glimpse into what it means to live with inherited trauma—and choose love anyway. With Olivia, she explores how writing can serve as both mirror and medicine, and why some stories take a decade to write. The episode moves through the harrowing reality of testing positive for a genetic mutation, the fierce desire to protect her children from the loss she experienced, and the quiet, persistent act of becoming the parent she never had.This conversation isn't a how-to. It's a heart-to-heart. It's for anyone who has lost a parent too soon, who has faced the weight of legacy, or who is trying to mother without a map. Tiffany's words offer no perfect answers—but they are steady hands reaching out across time and loss. Whether you're a writer, a daughter, a parent, or someone who has simply loved and lost, this story will stay with you.Buy the book here: https://amzn.to/4eYGyPv

As an American farmer, JJ Ficken, 37, was perpetually subject to weather, labor, loans, overhead, markets, health, politics. None of it was predictable, and all of it was a threat. The industry's survival has long depended on the deals made between millions of Americans willing to brave all that uncertainty and a federal government willing to sustain them, through grants, subsidies, insurance, financing, payouts and disaster relief.But then President Donald Trump, in the earliest days of his second term, threatened to break tens of thousands of those deals, suspending billions in agricultural funding and decimating the staffs that managed it. Swept up in the freeze was JJ and the $50 million grant program he'd signed up for along with 140 other farmers across the country. All of them had agreed to hire and, in many cases, house domestic workers or lawful immigrants willing to take jobs that Americans would not, but with the reimbursements in doubt, farmers worried they'd miss payrolls, default on loans or face bankruptcy.This story follows JJ and Otto Vargas, 24, as JJ recruits, meets and starts working with Otto – all while JJ wonders whether the government will ever pay him back. John Woodrow Cox reported, wrote and read the piece. Sarah Blaskey co-wrote the story. David Ovalle contributed to the report. Bishop Sand composed music and produced audio for the piece.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Doug Wagner in for Simon Conway during Thursday's third hour.
Found a double stacker today with some good reminders for all of us. The first one came from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) where this was shared: “Allow yourself to shine without the desire to be seen.” As I was sharing some thoughts here in this episode about this post, I started to share something else from a post I also shared - this one came from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) where this thought connected: “Do everything with a good heart, expect nothing in return, and you will never be disappointed.” Both of these tie into the thought of “do good anyway.” No matter what is happening - nobody is telling you thank you, someone you helped didn't help you, your kind heart is not getting you noticed, etc. Also, there will be the arrows that get shot at you - the negativity, hatred, anger, lies, etc. Again, do good anyway! The world needs more of it for sure. Thanks for listening.

This is a teaser preview of one of our Radical Reads episodes, made exclusively for our supporters on patreon. You can listen to the full 122-minute episode without ads and support our work at https://www.patreon.com/posts/e106-radical-in-129688227In this episode, we speak to Eli Friedman and Kevin Lin about their new book, China in Global Capitalism: Building International Solidarity Against Imperial Rivalry. The book (co-written with Rosa Liu and Ashley Smith) does an excellent job of looking at the actions of the Chinese state from the perspective of workers and marginalised groups to produce a picture of a capitalist nation that is not simply 'the same' as other nations, but not all that different either.The full episode is out longest Radical Read yet, and covers a range of topics from the conditions and struggles of China's working class both inside the workplace and out, to women's and LGBT+ rights. We also talk about China's relationship to its "internal peripheries" of Tibet and Xinjiang, as well as its international relationships in Africa, Israel and, of course, with the US. We also discuss what building international solidarity from below might look like in the current context.Listen to the full episode here:E106: Radical Reads - China in Global CapitalismMore informationBuy China in Global Capitalism from an independent bookshopYou can also buy Eli's previous book, China on Strike: Narratives of Workers' RefusalCheck out our excellent collection of books about Chinese history and politics in our online storeListen to a three-part series about Chinese migrant worker poetry by our sister-podcast, Working Class LiteratureFull show notes for this episode, including further reading and listening, as well as sources, are available on the webpage for this episode: https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e106-radical-reads-china-in-global-capitalism/AcknowledgementsThanks to our patreon supporters for making this podcast possible.

On July 4th, 1776, 56 men signed a document declaring the newly formed 13 colonies as one United States of America. By this charter, they formed a new country, one free from Britain's rule. The Declaration of Independence showcased the rights and beliefs of the new country. It was a written record of what America would stand for, and it was signed by the nation's founding fathers. Today, to honor the country's sovereignty, the gaggle presents a reading of the Declaration of independence. Here to read the country founding document are reporters and staff of the Arizona Republic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When British foreign correspondent Richard McColl purchased, on a whim, a ruined colonial building in the rural Colombian town of Mompós, he imagined a lifestyle of relaxation, with idle afternoons reading the works of Gabriel García Márquez, writing glib observations and enjoying the hypnotic momentum of a Caribbean tropical narrative, swaying in a hammock and the promise of an ice cold beer never far away. He was mistaken. His first restoration yields a hostel, which later becomes a hotel and then spirals into further projects including the restoration of three more colonial houses, experiencing challenges that make him reconsider his upbringing, education and outlook on how he fits into his adopted homeland. With two hotels in Mompós, he experiences the joy of new friendships and a despair over the predictability of guests. With a journalist's eye for a story, McColl navigates the history of Mompós and how its society is a microcosm of today's Colombia, with its feudal system still very much in place, inherent prejudices, stigma surrounding the politics, the people and the past, all coming to the fore.

Ever wonder why your brilliant emails go unread or your fantastic ideas seem to fall on deaf ears? The answer lies in cognitive budgeting - the brain's ruthless allocation of its limited energy resources. Your brain is remarkably hungry, consuming over 20% of your daily energy despite being just 5% of your body weight. As we're bombarded with more information than ever before, our brains have become increasingly selective about what deserves attention. Like picky eaters at a buffet, we carefully choose where to spend our precious cognitive resources. This episode dives into the fascinating science behind why people ignore most messages and how to ensure yours gets through. I share practical insights on matching your communication to your audience's current interests and needs. You'll discover why timing is everything, why being clear beats being clever, and how to tailor your detail level to different types of audiences. Whether you're trying to improve your marketing emails, design better products and services, or simply get your family to listen to your ideas, understanding cognitive budgeting will transform your approach. By respecting people's cognitive limitations and speaking to their actual interests, you dramatically increase your chances of not just being heard but actually influencing behavior. Ready to make people actually pay attention to what you have to say? Listen now, and share with someone who needs these insights.

Talk the Talk - a podcast about linguistics, the science of language.
How do large language models (LLMs) do their thing, and it is anything like how we do our thing? What can we learn about human language from this software? The answer might involve constructions — pairings of form and meaning that we use to make language. And here to discuss it with us is constructionist pioneer and linguistic legend, Professor Adele Goldberg.
