The first book in his latest series is The Accidental Joe: The Top-Secret Life of a Celebrity Chef (Regalo Press/May 14, 2024), described as the story of “...a maverick celebrity chef [who] reluctantly agrees to let the CIA use his hugely popular international food, culture, and travel TV series as cover for a dangerous espionage mission.” Bestselling author Walter Mosley said of the book, “Tom Straw's Sebastian Pike is a wonderful addition to the annals of amateur sleuths of the crime/spy genre.” Culinary personality Alton Brown said of the author, “Tom Straw has set the bar for culinary, espionage, travel thrillers. Actually, I think he invented the bar.

Round one looks at the catification of the names and content of some of our favorite pop culture properties, before taking a hard turn from the silly to to the hoity toity with a round two that's sure to scratch all your high-minded itches. But if academic writing on pop culture stumps you TOO much, there's always room for redemption in the lightning round.

GamerDude's list of TV tropes continues this week, with more over-used plot devices that can make good shows bad, and bad shows horrid.  He talks about the trope of putting the main character in a life threatening situation for the sake of "fake drama," when we all know that Richard Castle is not going to die; it's his show!  He also talks about how all of the brake lines in television cars back in the 1960s and 1970s were easily cut, and also discusses the "value" of a season-ending cliff-hanger. He also talks about the "dumb one" in every group of friends, and how the TV "hostage situation" just doesn't ring true. GamerDude also shares some TV theme songs from some of the lesser known shows he remembers from when he was growing up.  He didn't actually watch any of these shows regularly, but he remembers hearing the theme songs, and he talks about how the theme songs capture the vibe of their shows (even if you've never seen the show).  No spoilers! You'll have to listen to get the whole list. *Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

This episode takes us all the way to the West Coast of the United States, where Richard Castle, Co-Founder and COO of Cloudbeds, joined us to tell his and Adam Harris’ story of how the story behind Cloudbeds unfolded. From two guys, who had nothing to do with hospitality other than a passion for travelling, to an award winning international hotel tech company – what sounds much like a fairy-tale story, in fact involved some very clear strategies and ideas well ahead of their time. Richard let us in on how a funding series just days before the Covid-19 lockdown in the US went and how their business of was transformed in the last months and explained to us. Enjoy the show.

It is Dr. Jonas Venture Sr versus Richard Castle this week on Dad Fights! Adam is representing team Castle and Jeremy is representing team Venture Bros.  The guys talk music, some retro and new video games, and pitch another movie.

Atuando como uma ferramenta que potencializa as ideias e que otimiza os processos, a tecnologia tem se destacado em várias áreas, como na hotelaria. A Cloudbeds, por exemplo, é uma das grandes empresas do setor que tem como base essa ferramenta. A plataforma de gestão hoteleira foi desenvolvida com as mais modernas funcionalidades existentes no mercado e oferece diversas oportunidades para os empreendimentos de pequeno e médio porte no Brasil. E para falar sobre esse empreendimento que está revolucionando o mercado, o Seu Podcast de Turismo conversou com Stephan Leuenberger, business development manager da Cloudbeds; e com a Patricia Beltran, sales executive da plataforma. Lançada no Brasil em 2012, a Cloudbeds nasceu quando Richard Castle e Adam Harris estavam viajando pelo Brasil e perceberam que não existia ferramentas disponíveis para os hoteleiros independentes. A partir dessa visão, Richard e Adam decidiram que não apenas os donos de hotéis deveriam ter soluções e acesso a experiências únicas, como também os próprios turistas. Assim, lançaram a plataforma Cloudbeds, que foi desenvolvida com as mais modernas funcionalidades existentes no mercado. A ferramenta gera o aumento da receita dos hotéis e facilita o processo operacional destas empresas garantindo que os hoteleiros tenham mais tempo para o que realmente importa: cuidar dos seus hóspedes. "Simplificamos várias etapas da gestão de um hotel: pagamentos, relatórios e principalmente as reservas, que podem ser feitas através de um clique", diz Stephan Leuenberger. "Esse sistema da cloudbeds aumenta em até 20% as reservas. Além disso, evita que os visitantes de site saiam. O comparador de tarifas permite que eles visualizem suas tarifas em diferentes canais e reservem com a confiança que seu website tem a melhor tarifa disponível", explica o business development manager. Os benefícios Todos estes mecanismos oferecidos pela Cloudbeds garantem a maximização da receita, redução de custos e a maior visibilidade do hotel. "Até então, apenas as grandes cadeias de hotel podiam dispor de um produto tão completo e eficaz, devido aos altos custos de implantação, manutenção e à complexa operação diária", destaca Patricia Beltran. "E esse é o maior diferencial da Cloudbeds, ela democratiza a tecnologia e oferece ao empresário mais oportunidades de guiar o seu negócio, ao mesmo tempo que não substitui uma equipe de recepção, pelo contrário, ela fortalece esse atendimento", diz.

You no longer can have food services, coffee services, water service, whatever. ... We used to have snacks everywhere and food and beer on tap. ...This was about having fun at work and bringing out the child in us a little bit and not just being always adult time. That has kind of gone to waste. It's sad. And I don't know how long we'll be here like that. But at some point, this will return to normal and we'll get back to that old way." Cloudbeds is a Purpose-Driven Company — "It's making making people feel engaged. They have a purpose. And we've tried to create a workplace where when they get up in the morning to have a purpose to come to work, they feel like they're changing travel. They're changing the world. They're doing something for people that love to travel and hotels and hosts all over the world." Living in Remote Work Culture — "We have a rule if not everyone is in the same physical room, you can't have someone call in remote and put them on on a TV screen. Everyone has to be in the room or everyone has to be on Zoom remote. ... we're building a remote culture. So the office culture is a secondary culture to the remote culture which comes first." Managing a Global Workforce — "Cloudbeds, it's the embodiment of globalization. I mean, we really are. This was before COVID in 2012. I was in Brazil. Adam was in the U.S. We had to learn to be in an office. It wasn't natural for us. Even before Cloudbeds we didn't have an office. We worked together for years. I think it's taking that to the next level." Using Slack for Restaurants — "For me, Slack is just an asynchronous communication hub. It gives you the ability to share information. It gives people the ability to get real-time help. It allows you to connect docs. It allows you to connect video. Whatever it is, it's just a hub.

The gracious and debonair, Tom Straw, takes us on today’s Adventure. He published his first mystery novel, The Trigger Episode, in 2007. Then, he got an opportunity to ghost write a series of books for a popular TV Series, featuring a best-selling crime novelist, who had been given permission by his friend, the mayor, to tag along with a police detective, so that he could research his next series of books. You may remember the series; it starred Stana Katic as detective Kate Beckett and Nathan Fillion as author, Richard Castle. Today’s guest authored seven Richard Castle / Nikki Heat novels, all of which became New York Times Bestsellers. He’s also an Emmy – and Writer’s Guild of America – nominated TV writer and producer, having written and produced Night Court, Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, Dave’s World, Grace Under Fire, Cosby, Whoopi, and Nurse Jackie. We’ll talk about some of that during today’s conversation. He’s a former board member of the Mystery Writers of America, New York Chapter, he lives in Connecticut, where his home is his castle.

Christmas is the perfect excuse to touch base with friends and find out what they’ve been up to. So, we reached out to several authors who were guests on the show in 2018 and invited them to join us for the First Annual PDI Office Christmas Party. Thirteen responded and I had a blast finding out what’s they’ve got in store for the year ahead. Of course, we also took the time to open a present, check out the stockings, and get a little creative with our Christmas theme. This segment features short conversations with five of the thirteen authors. You’ll find links to the PDI Adventure they took us on earlier in the year.

The Walking Dead is back and we have already seen heartache and pain like we haven't seen before! But through this heartache we learn beautiful lessons about the lives Christ is calling us to. Today 'judgement' is a word that causes a lot of anger and discomfort. We are constantly taking in information and analyzing it. From first impressions to competitions we are always judging and making decisions based off of the information we see. But what does that have to do with 'The Walking Dead?' #WelcomeToTheAdventure Major Spoilers Media References: '33 Days to Merciful Love' by Fr.

How great would it be if we had a device that allowed us to skip all of the boring, stressful, or annoying parts of life? Sounds pretty great! But as we skip through life what else are we missing? What else are we putting on the back burner? This week we talk about the rush of life, and what to do when you feel like everything is moving too fast. #WelcomeToTheAdventure Minor Spoilers Media References: '33 Days to Merciful Love' by Fr.

The TV show CASTLE spawned 7 novels supposedly written by the star, Richard Castle.  They became New York Times Best Sellers.  But who really wrote those books?   He also produced NURSE JACKIE, COSBY, NIGHT COURT, GRACE UNDER FIRE wrote for Craig Ferguson’s Late Night Show, was a radio DJ, program director, and weekend TV weatherman.   This week we’ll meet him and for the first time I will reveal his true identity.  You’ll learn a lot about the process of writing and what Edie Falco is really like.

Richard Castle es un afamado escritor de novelas de misterio. Aparece un asesino dedicado a reproducir los crímenes que suceden en sus novelas y Rick se une a la detective Kate Beckett, del Departamento de Policía de Nueva York, para buscar al culpable. Desde el primer momento, los estilos de ambos para resolver los crímenes chocan. Sin embargo, también surgirá una atracción que marcará una especial relación entre ambos. Cuando una serie de irrefutables pruebas apuntan hacia un evidente culpable, el novelista echará mano de sus amigos dentro del gremio de la novela negra para llegar a una conclusión: ni en los libros ni en la vida real las soluciones llegan tan rápido. Castle se empeñará en que el principal sospechoso está siendo víctima de una trampa.

El escritor de novelas negras Richard Castle y la detective Kate Beckett iluminan las calles de Nueva York con una chispa romántica innegable, a la vez que esquivan balas y hacen frente a los casos más difíciles de la Gran Manzana. Ya puedes revivir cada momento electrizante con este podcast que repasará la pasión, el misterio y la emoción de cada episodio, desde el primero al último.

Today's Guest: Nathan Fillion, actor, "Castle," "Firefly" Order 'Castle: The Complete First Season' starring Nathan Fillion, available from Amazon.com by clicking on the DVD cover above! (EDITOR'S NOTE: Unfortunately, this was not one of the show's better moments, technically speaking. I'm a big fan of Fillion's work and everything that could go wrong here, did. It was Firefly fail times a thousand.) Nathan Fillion has paid his dues and, I suspect had a good time doing it. He’s the guy you know and recognize when you see him—oh, yeah, you think—that guy! He was last seen on “Desperate Housewives” as Dana Delany’s beaten-down, much younger husband, Dr. Adam Mayfair. But before that, you’ve seen him in everything from Joss Whedon’s late, lamented sci-fi series “Firefly” to the online sensation, “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.” He also co-starred in the movie Waitress with Keri Russell. Order 'Firefly: The Complete Series' [Blu-ray] starring Nathan Fillion, available from Amazon.com by clicking on the DVD set above! Now it appears Fillion has met the role that could be a perfect match for him. He is novelist Richard Castle, the lead character in the new Monday night ABC series “Castle.” The show, which may remind viewers of a certain generation—mine—of “Moonlighting” and younger viewers, perhaps, of “Bones,” airs at 9 p.m. Nathan Fillion Twitter • Facebook • Order Castle: The Complete First Season on DVD from Amazon.com Listen: Mr. Media's interview with Ruben Santiago-Hudson, co-star of Castle (2009) Listen: Mr. Media's interview with Summer Glau, co-star of Firefly, The Cape (2011) Order 'Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog' [Blu-ray] starring Neal Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day, available from Amazon.com by clicking on the DVD above!   Kicking Through the Ashes: My Life As A Stand-up in the 1980s Comedy Boom by Ritch Shydner.

Kobo recently held a special event in downtown Toronto for some of its best customers, avid readers and fans of Michael Connelly. Special guests had a chance to meet one another for cocktails and snacks, mingle, get books signed, and listen to an on-stage interview with Michael Connelly, who was interviewed by by Johanna Schneller. Some of the fascinating things you'll find out in this entertaining interview with Michael Connelly include: How Michael's mother gave him his first book to read, how, as a child he was introverted and loved to read and earned the nickname "the book addict" The perspective that a writer's job is often being "the observer" Michael's role as a journalism and crime reporter, including the months he spent interviewing survivors of the Delta 191 Crash (131 people died and 29 people survived) and the quote from one of the survivors that still sticks with Michael today The first two books that Michael wrote, which he considered part of the learning process before crafting his third novel, which was the one he knew was good enough and was sent off to be published (and which ended up winning the Edgar Award for best first novel The advice from Michael's agent and editor to keep his head down and write his next novel, which allowed him to have his second novel already turned in by the time the first novel (The Black Echo) came out How Michael waited until several novels had been published before quitting his day job Michael's thoughts on the 150 newspapers that ran stories on then president Bill Clinton walking out of a bookstore carrying his novel The Concrete Blonde Having an iconic actor like Clint Eastwood involved in the creation of the movie Blood Work, based on one of Michael's novels The "fourth wall" mention in The Crossing of the movie version of The Lincoln Lawyer Reflections on being one of the guest authors (along with Stephen J. Cannell, James Patterson, and Dennis Lehane) who makes semi-regular appearances on the ABC television series Castle as one of Richard Castle's poker buddies The mosaic by which Michael's most popular character, Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch is, in many ways, similar to the complex and multi-compositional paintings by the famous painter of the same name Michael's approach towards writing every single day, particularly when he is going through the process of a first draft The casting of Titus Welliver in the lead role as Harry Bosch in the Bosch series, Michael's role in suggesting him, and the manner by which Welliver may not "look" like the outer Harry Bosch Connelly has written about, but how he definitely looks like the "inner" Harry Bosch and how he very effectively displays the angst and internal turmoil that makes Bosch who he is Collaborative writing and Michael's reflections on having done that in the past (both in text writing as well as in working on the Bosch series) Where Michael writes most often and the answer to the question of whether he prefers a typewriter or a computer when writing a novel How Michael knows the beginning and has a really good sense of the end when he sits down to write the first draft of a novel, and the intriguing discovery process that the writing becomes for him The fact that Michael is a major re-writer, who usually writes three drafts of a novel How he knows whether a novel will be a "Haller" or a "Bosch" novel The aural inspirational process that Michael uses to write. How Michael has aged Harry in real time, leading to natural progressions, such as his recent retirement The reason why Harry Bosch continues to remain alone and single, despite many highs and lows of relationships over the years Kobo Writing Life Director Mark Lefebvre then talks about Michael's mention of one of his sources of inspiration by connecting with lawyers and police officers. He reflects on how a writer who is open to connecting with and listening to professionals not only has the resources to create better writing, but also brings a sense of community to the overall writing and overall proces Link to Michael Connelly's books on Kobo Michael Connelly's Website

Hey Listeners, let me to you about this week's podcast, which believe it or not is walking on air as we review episodes of our favorite TV shows paying tribute to unlikely heroes. You know people like the Little Mermaid on Once upon a Time, Richard Castle the novelist who has a knack for solving real-life mysteries, the former Angel making slushies at the minimart on Supernatural, Person of Interest's single mother working as a street cop and the wacky uncle who proved his outrageous stories were true on The Legend of Korra. Oh and let's not forget the crazy ones  who found themselves on top of the world thinking the hero should be someone else such as the mother we've waited to meet who tamed ladies man Barney Stinson, the housewife that gave her husband Chinese Acrobats for a gift on Modern Family and the physics professor who wore an extremely itchy sweater to maintain his integrity on The Big Bang Theory. Then we continued flying away on a wing and a prayer into our Airwaves Rundown section unveiling more unlikely heroes where that came from with our reviews on Homeland, The Walking Dead, Sleepy Hollow, The Blacklist, New Girl, South Park, Revolution, Once upon a Time in Wonderland, The Tomorrow People, Elementary, Grimm and Glee. So with all this great content coming your way I've got to ask who could this podcast be? Well, believe it or not it's just  ATA.

Last night's episode of #Castle gave Molly Quinn an opportunity to really shine and shine she did while playing Richard Castle's sleuthy daughther Alexis in "Like Father, Like Daughter" written by Marc Dube and directed by Paul Holohan. So what did YOU think of this episode and did it change how you see the future for the entire Castle family future? Elena will post the STR Round Table questions on www.stanatalkradio.com, so we hope you'll join us and share with all of us YOUR thoughts on this unique episode.

In this show, host Bamm Ericsen breaks down the episode in which Richard Castle and Kate Beckett finally give in to their feelings for each other, picking up on the proverbial morning after, with Castle and Beckett facing new questions [...]

  Hey ATA Listeners, on this episode of Across the Airwaves, I was replaced by an impostor, DUM, DUM, DUMMM!!!  No, actually the voice you will be hearing throughout this podcast is mine but something  goofy happened with the Internet connection so my voice was much deeper than usual, almost as if it was going through a voice changer. Although despite me sounding like Zordon (yes, here's a guy that made a Power Rangers reference) this episode is still really worth the listen, because our discussion on the most recent episode of Castle and the action packed FOX TV series Human Target is really insightful through us looking at these shows from a lot of different aspects within the TV Industry. Highlights from this guerrilla style episode that would make a conspiracy dude like Guerrero proud include Nico making predictions on the love story for both Human Target's Chance and our man Richard Castle. Also I make a request for you to send us your favorite Chloe Sullivan memories to help us enhance our upcoming Live Show, ChloeFest as well as reveal two new ATA segments that will be occurring on Twitter as well as our Facebook wall entitled Things Learned from Watching How I Met Your Mother and Psych Thoughts. By the way don't forget to support Legendary Women's Inc.'s charity for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation in both Chloe Sullivan and Allison Mack's names which will be running through January 22nd. At the same time, don't forget to join us on February 4th at 9:15/8:15c for ChloeFest, a Live Show event, celebrating the life of Chloe Sullivan that will be occurring on this web site: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/across-the-airwaves-live following the airing of the Smallville episode Beacon.  

Seamus Dever knows a thing or two about playing bad guys. After all, it was his character Dr. Ian Devlin who accidentally shot young Michael Corinthos on General Hospital. On ABC primetime's Castle, premiering tonight at 10/9C, Dever finally gets a chance to play one the good guys. He plays Irish cop Kevin Ryan, sharing screentime with Stana Katic, Jon Huerta and fellow ABC daytime grad Nathan Fillion (ex-Joey, One Life to Live), who portrays the title character, Richard Castle, a best-selling crime novelist suffering from writer's block, who decides to shadow NYPD detective Kate Beckett (Katic) for inspiration.On this episode of the Daytime Confidential Podcast, Dever chats with Luke and Jamey about his role on the highly-anticipated midseason show, his first as a primetime series regular. Dever shares that although Castle is being likened to 80's comfort food TV programs like Moonlighting or Scarecrow and Mrs. King, he sees more of a parallel between the series and the popular screwball comedies of the 30's and 40's, which he says sets Castle apart from other primetime crime procedurals. He also reveals whether or not he believes there is more pressure for the show to suceed considering ABC's recent cancellations of such high-profile shows as Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies and Life on Mars. Then Dever looks back with Luke and Jamey about his brief, but memorable stint on General Hospital. He reveals how he felt when he learned the antihero doctor he signed on to play, was being turned into a mob assassin, and what role the 2007-08 Writers' Strike played in that plot twist. Dever talks about what it was like working with Sebastian Roche, Tyler Christopher, Jason Thompson and Sarah Brown, whom he still considers a pal, and reveals if he and Nathan Fillion swap soap stories on the set of Castle. Dever also provides a sneak peek of Ready or Not, his upcoming Direct-to-DVD buddy comedy. It's an episode you don't wanna miss.
