Today's poem is One-Way Gate by Jenny George.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Sometimes I swear I can feel a life-changing moment as it's happening. Some moments in life feel like walking through a doorway from one place or time into another. Like crossing a threshold. It's often easier to see these thresholds from the other side, looking back. Retrospect is clearer than present perspective. But as I get older, I think I'm getting better at seeing significant moments as they're happening: seeing the train doors slide open or closed. I think I'm getting better at noticing that my life is changing in real time, even if I don't know how it will turn out.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

But Democrats have fought back — with a handful of potential presidential candidates taking up the mantle and positioning themselves to reap the rewards.

We share with you a raw & in-the-moment sitdown on Prolific B-Movie Producer Roger Corman.   We sat on this as we wanted to give everyone time to process the beloved filmmaker's loss while also framing it mainly on why he resonates with so many of us many film nerds.   After starting off with a 1982 David Letterman interview clip, we dive deeper into some of the future A-list talent mentored by Corman, talk less-discussed trivia & address the crappy comments made by (the otherwise talented) screenwriter Paul Schrader over Corman's passing.   Love him, hate him, admire the passion, Roger's influence is here to stay for centuries regardless!

The great apostle had invested much of himself in the course of his ministry at Ephesus. It was one of his most successful ventures, and he had poured himself into it. He was about to let go, departing from them, commending them to God forever. This in-person farewell happened in the mid-50's, and he wrote the book of Ephesians to them in the early 60's. They stayed on his mind, in other words.
