    Radelaide Reads is a brand new spin off series where SA author Adam Cece shines a light on talented South Australian authors and illustrators. Today Adam chats to not one, but two debut SA fantasy authors, S.K. Neilson and Barbara J. Rosie, about the path to publication for their debut fantasy books: Singing Down the Sky and The Brazen Dragon. Sarah and Barb chat about how it can be an uphill battle to publish fantasy in Australia, but how they both found success via the Fiona McIntosh Masterclass National Conference and IFWG Publishing, a small traditional publisher, known for comics, but making inroads in Australia in speculative fiction and young adult/middle grade fiction. They also talk about their writing processes, how it might be a good omen to always have pandas present when you are pitching to publishers, and Adam struggles to say the simple word alumni!

    In this third discussion on Silas Marner, Hunter and Autumn discuss Marner's transformation and the effect of sin and secrecy in Godfrey Cass' life. Eppie's arrival transforms Silas's lonely life and increasingly connects him to the life of Raveloe. George Eliot shows that the effects of sin and redemption are often slow but sure. Godfrey Cass's hidden guilt ripens into regret, while Silas's increasing openness to love and spiritual community blossoms into restoration.Through Dolly Winthrop's steadfast faith, the quiet working of Providence, and the contrast between false and true treasure, Eliot paints a vision of faith, family, and community. The return of Silas's gold and the reappearance of Godfrey remind us that what is hoarded in secrecy turns to emptiness, but what is shared in love endures. The novel closes with a scene in the context of the life of the village — Eppie's marriage, Silas's contentment, and the joy of belonging.

    Our last episode ended with an image of Silas Marner reeling from another betrayal and loss—his gold stolen, his world emptied once again. How would he respond this time? In this section, we see how Silas's cry for help at the Rainbow marks the first crack in his isolation, opening him to community and the possibility of grace. Around him, the intrigues and inner lives of Raveloe unfold—revealing how the state of one person's heart can ripple outward to shape the world around them.In today's episode, Autumn and Hunter follow the stories of Godfrey Cass, Dolly Winthrop, and Silas, examining three very different responses to guilt, faith, and human connection: Godfrey's attempt to manipulate reality to preserve his image, Dolly's quiet embodiment of lived faith, and Silas's unguarded vulnerability that leads him toward restoration. And when the mysterious child appears on Silas's hearth, a golden-haired “replacement treasure,” the story unexpectedly turns toward redemption.

    Thanks to AI and the work of researcher Mark Sims, we now can reproduce the former head of the Canadian UFO investigation from 1950-1954, reading from the Top Secret memo he produced after conversations with United States officials through the Canadian Embassy in Washington, DC.The key part of the memo was the confirmation that flying saucers existed and it was the most highly classified subject in the United States. (In other written testimony, Smith confirmed that the American officials (NOT USAF) had tons of hardware, but that it might as well be in the 4th dimension, as no one would ever see it.The second most important subject in the memo was the fact that American officials believed mental phenomena were connected to the saucer. This fact is still being ignored by the UFO community as they prepare to spend another 80 years cataloging lights in the sky to prove a nuts and bolts phenomena (which it may not be) to skeptics.Smith made sure his extensive files survived his death in 1962 so I will be doing more podcasts on his discoveries down the road.Grant Cameron websitewww.presidentialufo.org

    Emily Bazelon talks with Yale law professor John Witt about his new book The Radical Fund: How a Band of Visionaries and a Million Dollars Upended America. They explore the remarkable story of the Garland Fund—a small 1920s foundation that bankrolled early work by A. Philip Randolph, and others who would go on to shape the civil rights and labor movements. Witt traces how the fund connected race and class politics, supported the intellectual groundwork for Brown v. Board of Education, and anticipated today's challenges around misinformation, inequality, and political disconnection. He and Bazelon also discuss what lessons progressives might take from this forgotten story of organizing during political exile.

Be Gay, Do Crime: Everyday Acts of Queer Resistance and Rebellion is your ultimate guide to LGBTQ+ resilience and revolt. Packed with hundreds of snapshots of radical queer history for every day of the year, this book celebrates the bold, the brave, and the beautifully defiant moments that have shaped the fight for justice. In this episode, we discuss the book, our current moment, the connections between LGBT+ movements and other aspects like race, class, gender and disability. We look at historical repression of queer identities, colonialism, and talk about what stories from the past can point to away towards a better future.Hope you enjoy this episode, and make sure to get hold of a copy of the book, available in our online store with global shipping.Listen without ads here on PatreonBuy the book hereFull show notes here on our websiteY'all Means All: The Emerging Voices Queering Appalachia – Z.
