On this episode of The Blue Crew, Jonny Lazarus, Avery Zaretsky, and Cody Frankel catch up after about 7 weeks off from recording the podcast. They talk about how quiet this summer has been regarding news surrounding the New York Rangers but then get into their excitement for the upcoming season while answering some fan questions. Then, Jonny chats with Sarah Levine, whose Father ran Jacob Trouba's art gallery this past month called "Landing My Mark". Sarah talks about the event and meeting Trouba.

Sarah Levine reads “Brave,” “Bang-Bang,” and “A Horse is a Toy for Crazy People” from her poetry collection, Each Knuckle With Sugar, published by Driftwood Press in February 2024.

On this episode of the Teaching Middle School ELA podcast, Megan welcomed Sarah Levine and Chris Ma from Stanford University, who discussed an innovative approach to literature by integrating students' emotional responses into the heart of literary analysis.Together they unpacked how emotions play a pivotal role in enhancing students' connections to texts. Chris and Sarah guide us through their "funds of feeling" approach, where students explore literature using a blend of emotional engagement and intellectual rigor.Listen in to learn strategies such as the "up-down; both-why" technique and the use of sentence stems, which help students tie their feelings to textual evidence and academic discourse. This method goes beyond traditional analysis, encouraging a richer, more personal understanding of literature.So, whether you're discussing Shakespeare or contemporary novels, get ready for valuable insights that promise to impact your classroom discussions and deepen students' literary appreciation.Tune in as they break it all down in this episode!Links mentioned: https://publicationsncte.org/content/journals/10.58680/ej202332489Are you enjoying the podcast?Make sure to subscribe to our channel and leave us a review!  To leave a review in iTunes, click HERE by scrolling down our show page, selecting a star rating, and tapping “Write a review.” Let us know how this podcast is helping you in your ELA classroom!Interested in joining the EB Teachers' Club with thousands of other middle school ELA teachers from around the globe?

Love in all its blissful, blistering forms provides the foundation for lyrical poet Sarah Levine's new book, Each Knuckle with Sugar. A Massachusettes poet, the conversation runs from love to craft to loss. These surprising poems are made more memorable by the way Levine has skillfully built a world to hold them. You can find Levine's book at Driftwood Press: https://www.driftwoodpress.com/product-page/each-knuckle-with-sugar You can read her poem, "Forgotten Things," in the Paris American here: https://www.theparisamerican.com/sarah-levine-poetry.html

To learn any concept well, students need to experience multiple, varied examples of that concept, and coming up with those examples can be a time-consuming task for teachers. ChatGPT can help you get it done in a fraction of the time. In this episode, Stanford's Chris Mah and Sarah Levine show us how it works.

Students often struggle to make meaningful connections to literature and put those connections into words. The Up-Down-Both-Why technique, which starts with how the text makes a student feel, gets much better results. My guest, Sarah Levine, explains how it works.  This episode is sponsored by Kialo Edu and National Geographic Education.

This week I’m sharing a conversation with Dan Thawley, Editor in Chief of A Magazine Curated By. The magazine is unique in the landscape of fashion publications. The project was started in 2004 with the concept that each issue would be guest curated by a fashion designer, who would be given free rein over the content of the magazine.“Each issue celebrates a designer’s ethos: their people, passion, stories, emotions, fascinations, spontaneity, and authenticity.”The magazine presents an opportunity for designers to get beyond just fashion, and show the broader context of their work. The reader is invited to see the world of collaborators, references, and inspirations that contribute to a designer’s perspective. We get to understand the unique point of view of each designer who curates an issue, and, as you get to the final pages, you realize that you’ve had a truly intimate experience.I’m talking to Dan on the occasion of the release of A Magazine Curated By’s 21st issue, curated by Lucie and Luke Meier, the creative directors of fashion house Jil Sander. In our conversation Dan and I talk about his 10+ year history with the magazine, how he became Editor in Chief when he was just 20 years old, and the process behind the scenes of working with the designers. Over the years, Dan has developed a unique perspective on how visual culture influences clothing design.A Magazine Curated By has a great website where you can get a peak into iconic past issues with designers such as Martin Margiela, Thom Browne, Yohji Yamamoto, Simone Rocha, Jun Takahashi and many more. You can find this archive at amagazinecuratedby.com or on Instagram @amagazinecuratedbyDan Thawley is on Instagram @danthawleyI want to thank Dan Thawley, and the whole team at A Magazine Curated By, as well as the Lucie and Luke Meier for putting together such a beautiful, timely issue.Get your copy of A Magazine Curated By Issue No 21 online at amagazinecuratedby.com .Our show is produced by Sarah Levine and our music is by Jack and Eliza.

On the show today I’m sharing a conversation with fashion designer Scott Sternberg, who founded the cult classic label Band of Outsiders in 2004, and, most recently, a new brand called Entireworld in 2018.We go back through the origins of Band of Outsiders, looking at Scott's idiosyncratic way of creating clothes, to see how this hugely influential brand was created. Scott tells me that the ethos of Band of Outsiders was an idea of making preppy clothes that were about preppy clothes. This sense of meta-narrative and playfulness in design always gave Band of Outsiders a unique point of view.Scott’s new project Entireworld focuses on the basics. He talks about approaching the brand as building a system for dressing, starting with the essentials, socks, underwear, and t-shirts. The brand's monochromatic sweats in myriad of bright primary colors have been a quick hit. It's an interesting opportunity to hear Scott reflect on his 11 year arc with Band of Outsiders, and how he's applying those lessons to Entireworld.You can follow Entireworld on Instagram at @entireworld and visit them online at theentireworld.com . Scott is on Instagram @scott.sternbergOur show is produced by Sarah Levine, and our music is by Jack and Eliza.You can find us on Instagram @image.culture  and @william.jess.lairdWe'll be back next week!

Nostalgia szn is real on this episode of Almost Ivy. Sarah and I are recapping our time in High School and what it was like growing up in suburban New Jersey.

My guest today is the painter Israel Lund. Israel is interested in images, the way they are reproduced, transmitted and passed through digital and analog systems. His early experiences as a teenager making zines and posters for local punk shows introduced him to a visual culture that thrived on the copy, and motivated him to introduce CMYK screen printing techniques into the realm of painting. The aesthetic of his work falls somewhere between abstraction and a glitchy computer screen. Through it all, there is a constant examination of how the information of an image is determined by the system it’s put through, be it a Tumblr page, a photocopier, or one of Israel’s screens.I’d like to thank Israel, as well as Olivia Smith at Magenta Plains and David Lewis. I’d also like to send a special thank you to Alex Bacon who wrote an excellent piece on Israel’s work in The Brooklyn Rail that I referenced frequently in preparation for this show.You can find that article HERE:Remember you can see my portrait of Israel in his studio at williamjesslaird.com/imageculture as well as on Instagram @william.jess.laird and @image.cultureOur show is produced by Sarah Levine. Our music is by Jack & Eliza.Thank you so much for listening.Check out Israel’s Tumblr page at https://israellund.tumblr.com

My guest is Virginia Lee Montgomery, whose new solo show Pony Cocoon is up now at False Flag in Long Island City though March 24th. The show is titled after her new film, following the birth of a Luna moth from a disembodied blonde ponytail, a frequently used symbol in Virginia’s practice. Her films are diffused with these repeated visual motifs. Dripping honey engulfs an object; a power drill bores a perfect hole through the surface of an image; a narwhal’s horn pierces the Arctic water. Images become like recurring characters through her films, which unfold like a surrealist mind-map attempting to make sense of free-associative thought. Concurrent to her art practice, Virginia works as a graphic facilitator, meaning she travels the country diagramming the flow of ideas and concepts for a variety of corporate clientele. The influence of this work is clearly felt in the way she edits her films, taking seemingly disparate ideas and finding the ways they’re interconnected.We’d like to thank Virginia Lee Montgomery as well as Edwin Lewis, Alexander Heffesse, Jon Huddleson, Whitney Smith, and Mel Hyde at False Flag. You can see my portrait of Virginia in her show at www.williamjesslaird.com/imageculture as well as on instagram @william.jess.laird and @image.cultureYou can see Virginia Lee Montgomery’s work at www.virginialeemontgomery.com and you can find the press release for Pony Cocoon at www.false-flag.orgThis show is produced by Sarah Levine and our music is by Jack and Eliza.

My guest is Adam Charlap Hyman, principle at the architecture and design firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero, which he cofounded in 2014. Adam’s work is grounded in a deeply considered approach to all aspects of the built environment, creating spaces imbued with a rich sense of history and narrative. His work ranges from residential interiors to art galleries, furniture, opera sets, and a new collection of abaca rugs, wallpapers, and fabrics in collaboration with Schumacher and Patterson Flynn Martin.Recently Adam designed an exhibition at Friedman Benda Gallery entitled Blow Up in which he and curator Felix Burrichter transformed the gallery into a life-sized dollhouse, creating architectural elements through scaled up prints of Adam’s watercolor illustrations. The imagined spaces were then furnished with the work of a dreamlike roster of contemporary artists and designers.At the center of Adam’s work is the idea of Gesamtkunstwerk, the total work of art. He has a unique way of understanding interiors that goes far beyond the decorative. Instead, his spaces feel as if they are part of an ever-expanding narrative, often funny, full of twists, and always fascinating.I’d like to thank Adam Charlap Hyman as well as Andre Herrero, Alex Charlap Hyman, Juliet Breza, Felix Burrichter, and Friedman Benda. Remember, you can see my portrait of Adam on Instagram @william.jess.laird and @image.culture as well as at our website williamjesslaird.com/imageculture This show is produced by Sarah Levine and our music is by Jack and Eliza.

On the show today is the photographer Michael Halsband, whose work I first saw in Surf Book, a collaborative project with legendary surfer Joel Tudor examining surf culture through the people who built it. From there I began exploring his extensive body of portraits of artists and musicians from Klaus Nomi & Bernice Abbott to David Byrne & James Brown. After studying photography at SVA, Michael got the chance to photograph Keith Richards for the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, after which he joined the Stones on their 1981 Tattoo You tour. Upon returning to New York, Michael made what was to become his most famous photograph, one that I imagine many of you have seen. The 1985 portrait of Andy Warhol and Jean Michel Basquiat wearing boxing shorts and gloves, arms crossed, looking straight into camera against a clean white background. Originally created as a promotional poster for a collaborative show between the two artists, it became the iconic image of one of art’s great partnerships.I got to sit down with have tea with Michael in the same studio where that photograph was made. You can also see my portrait of Michael in the studio at www.williamjesslaird.com/imageculture as well as on Instagram @william.jess.laird and @image.cultureThis show is produced by Sarah Levine, our music is by Jack and Eliza.

My guest is the iconic writer and editor Wendy Goodman, whose new book May I Come In? is out now with Abrams Press. Having spent her career at publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, The New York Times Magazine, House & Garden, and most recently New York Magazine, where she has served as Design Editor since 1997, Wendy has profiled a most interesting group of individuals through their private homes. She lives by the idea that a house never lies and that few things are more fascinating than the opportunity to see how people live during their private hours. From Gloria Vanderbilt to Richard Avedon, Tony Duquette to Whoopi Goldberg, Tina Turner and Valentino, the new book is a retrospective of her work, and, as she puts it, an ode to the golden age of magazines. Profusely illustrated with work from an exceptional group of photographers, it offers a rare glimpse into some extraordinary lives. But ultimately, what makes the book so compelling is how personal it is. It’s a book of relentless search, full of risk and anxieties, and at the end we see how perfectly a space can serve as metaphor for the self. It’s much more than just a book of interiors.I’d like to thank Wendy Goodman, as well as Lauren Starke, Gabby Fisher, and the entire team at Abrams and New York Magazine. This show is produced by Sarah Levine. Our music is by Jack and Eliza.

My guest is the artist Camille Hoffman. In her work Camille rethinks the narratives embedded in traditional American landscape painting. She points out the political motivations of the romantic landscape, it’s enforcement of ideas of Manifest Destiny and Western Exceptionalism, and, in doing so, she begins a conversation about the monolithic history of painting. Looking closely at this history motived Camille to focus on her materials. In addition to traditional oil paint, she uses printed matter collected from her daily life, ranging from holiday themed plastic tablecloths to discarded medical records, from plastic bags to nature calendars. The resulting works reimagine what a landscape painting can be, and point out how charged the medium has always been.I had the chance to photograph Camille in her recent installation Rockabye My Bedrock Bones at False Flag Projects, in which she covered the exhibition space in a massive wall painting using tones derived from her own skin. You can see the photograph at our website www.williamjesslaird.com/imageculture or on Instagram @william.jess.laird or @image.cultureYou can see Camille’s current show Excelsior: Ever Upward, Ever Afloat, in which she remixes the allegorical figures in the New York State Seal, now at the Queens Museum. It’ll be up through Fall 2019.I’d like to thank Camille Hoffman, as well as False Flag Projects for hosting our talk. This show is produced by Sarah Levine and our music is by Jack + Eliza.

Today on the show I’m talking with photographer and sculptor Vicente Muñoz, whose work I’ve found uniquely resonant in its engagement with architecture and optical phenomena. He has a new book out now entitled Virtual Transparency, which gathers a body of work originally started in 2015. The book focuses on the glass curtain architecture that defines New York City’s skyscrapers. Working at extremely long focal lengths, Vicente photographs the reflections of one building in another, however, much of his attention is on the glass itself. Specifically, he focuses on an optical phenomenon caused by imperfections in the manufacturing process known as roller-wave distortion, which creates unexpected bends and diffractions of light. The resulting photographs are abstracted to the point that, at first, I thought they might be illustrations. After spending some time with this book, I started seeing these distortions everywhere.I photographed Vicente one day on the roof of his studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. In the photograph you can see him handling a set of concrete blocks in different colors. These objects were cast as part of his body of work Beton, which examines the legacy of Brutalist architecture. You can see the portrait on our website at williamjesslaird.com/imageculture or at our Instagram @william.jess.laird or @image.cultureYou can find Vicente’s new book Virtual Transparency on Amazon at the link below:https://www.amazon.com/Virtual-Transparency-Vicente-Munoz/dp/0692763627I’d like to thank Vicente and Audrey Rose Smith. I’d also like to thank Paul Knox, who wrote the titular essay in Virtual Transparency. This show is produced by Sarah Levine and our music is by Jack and Eliza.See more of Vicente’s work at: http://vicentemunoz.xyz/#/

My guest is Randall Poster. If you don’t know the name, I guarantee you’ve heard his work. Randall is a music supervisor. He’s responsible for creating the soundtracks and overseeing the scores of some truly iconic films. Among his many credits is a 20 year collaboration with director Wes Anderson, crafting the musical profile of all his films dating back to 1996’s Bottle Rocket. From Rushmore’s sound of the British Invasion, to the Portuguese covers of David Bowie in Life Aquatic, from the music in the films of Satyajit Ray for The Darjeeling Limited, and the Eastern European Folk Music of The Grand Budapest Hotel, there’s always been a new stone to turn behind one of the most fruitful collaborations in cinema.In addition to his work with Wes, Randall has had longstanding collaborations with great directors such as Richard Linklater, Todd Haynes, Martin Scorsese, Sam Mendes, and Harmony Korine.Behind all of his work, it’s clear to see a genuine love of music and film that’s persisted through a long career. I photographed Randall at his office in New York and you can see the portrait at our website at www.williamjesslaird.com/imageculture or on Instagram @william.jess.laird and @image.cultureThank you to Randall Poster, as well as his entire team at Search Party Music.

Those of you that listen to the show regularly probably know that my partner and I frequently travel down to Marfa, Texas. If you’ve never been, I really can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s my opinion that seeing Donald Judd’s work permanently installed at the Chinati Foundation is one of the most pure experiences you can have seeing a work of art. But here’s the thing, there’s also a lot about Far West Texas that’s interesting for reasons entirely separate from Donald Judd. This brings me to my guest, writer, curator, and historian Lonn Taylor. Lonn is a bit of a local celebrity in Marfa. His books Texas, My Texas, Musings of the Rambling Boy, and, most recently, Marfa for the Perplexed are my first recommendations to anyone interested in the region. That’s because Lonn’s writing offers a most insightful and unique view into the lives of some of the most eccentric Texans. Reading Lonn’s essays, many of which were originally published between the pages of the Big Bend Sentinel, has opened up a world of stories, both big and small. They make a real case for why we should all read a bit of history, and, for me, they’ve changed the way I think about a place I’ve loved for a long time. If you thought you knew all there was to know about Marfa, I guarantee Lonn will show you something new.For someone so influential in Marfa, Lonn actually lives one town down the road in Ft. Davis, where he retired after a 20 year career as a curator at the Smithsonian. He’s completed major projects on the history of furniture in Texas and New Mexico, the myth of the American Cowboy, as well as a landmark book on the Star Spangled Banner. We had our conversation one afternoon at Lonn’s desk looking out at the mountains which surround the town. You can see them in the portrait we shot together, which you’ll find at our website www.williamjesslaird.com/imageculture or on Instagram @william.jess.laird or @image.cultureFinally I just wanted to say a quick word about another legendary Texas resident, Boyd Elder, who passed away last week. I met Boyd when I was a kid, the first time I ever came to Marfa with my family. It’s funny that I just had this conversation with Lonn, because his work is really about exploring the exceptional people that make a place special. Boyd was certainly one of those people. I’ll miss him, I know many will. Rest in peace Boyd.I’d like to thank Lonn and Dedie for having us by their home. I’d also like to thank all the staff and volunteers at the Chinati Foundation, Jenny Moore, Caitlin Murray, Tim Johnson, Robert and Rosario Halpern, Buck Johnston, Camp Bosworth, Elise Pepple, and Marfa Public Radio. Of course a final thank you to Boyd Elder for everything you gave to Marfa.This show is produced by Sarah Levine, our music is by Jack and Eliza.If you like the show it makes a big difference if you subscribe, leave a review, or give us a rating on Apple Podcasts. Thanks so much for listening. See you next week.

Today I’m talking with the artist Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, whose paintings address the ancient history of West Africa and its associated mythology. Born and raised in England to Nigerian parents, Tunji studied art at Oxford University before moving to the United States to pursue his MFA at Yale, an experience that he describes as a culture shock and which had an immediate and profound effect on his work. It was in the US that he was first exposed to painters like Bob Thompson, Barkley Hendricks, and Kerry James Marshall, whose influence you can feel in his work right alongside British painters like Lucian Freud and David Hockney. We spend a lot of time talking about the differences between British and American painting, especially when it comes to representations of the black body. His recent solo show ‘Flash of the Spirit’ at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery takes its name from Robert Farris Thompson’s landmark 1984 book examining the influence of West African aesthetics on the modern diaspora. Seeing the eight works in the show all together is to see the development of Tunji’s language as a painter. His large scale works are inhabited by cast of richly colored, androgynous figures suspended against lush, compressed backgrounds, the forms echoing from one canvas to another. I’ll be looking forward to his upcoming solo show ‘A Place to Belong’ which will be at Hunter Harrison in London.I photographed Tunji in his Brooklyn studio surrounded by a new body of work. You can see the portrait at www.williamjesslaird.com/imageculture or on Instagram @william.jess.laird or @image.cultureI’d like to thank Tunji Adeniyi-Jones as well as the team at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery.

My guest is William Middleton, author of the new biography Double Vision: The Unerring Eye of Art World Avatars Dominique and John De Menil, out now through Knopf.The book follows the lives of the celebrated art collectors, who over the course of the 20th century forever changed the cultural landscape of their adopted home, Houston, TX. William spent 15 years between Paris, New York, and Houston researching and writing. When you hear him speak about their lives, you can feel the enduring nature of his interest. That may be because the de Menil’s offer a kind of model of civic engagement. They represent the idea that, given the opportunity, we have an obligation to invest in the places we find ourselves. Heirs to the massive Schlumberger oil fortune, Dominique and John relocated from France to Houston during the turmoil of World War II. Over the coming years they would champion the city, creating lasting institutions such as the Menil Collection, the Rothko Chapel, the Byzantine Fresco Chapel, and the Cy Twombly Gallery. They were also outspoken supporters of the civil rights movement, funding key scholarship and exhibition of African American Art at a time when it was seldom granted institutional support. William’s expansive biography considers the impact art can have on society through the lives of two of its most devoted members.I photographed William at his apartment in New York, surrounded by more than a decades worth of photographs, exhibition catalogues, letters, and manuscripts used in research for the book. His french bulldog Hubert makes an appearance as well.

My guest is author Dan Riley, whose debut novel Fly Me was recently released to critical acclaim. Fly Me, set in a fictionalized Manhattan Beach, California in 1972, follows the story of Suzy Whitman, a young stewardess at Grand Pacific Airlines who soon finds herself in the midst of a drug trafficking scheme taking place in the skies. It’s a real page-turner, but somehow still takes its time to revel in the peculiarities of the early 70’s, surf culture, and “stewing” as Suzy calls it. Well researched and perfectly paced, if you’re looking for a great summer novel, I highly recommend it.I photographed Dan at the offices of GQ Magazine, where he also serves as the Features Editor, and you can see the portrait at williamjesslaird.com/imageculture or on Instagram @william.jess.laird or @image.cultureI’d like to thank Dan Riley, Sarah Goulet, and the teams at Little Brown and Company and GQ Magazine.

In 2008 Robert Beck became Robert Buck. He did this in response to an idea that in a state of hypermodernity the status of the Name-of-the-Father had been fundamentally shaken. In its absence as a universal, he says, each of us must invent our own, be it knowingly, explicitly or intuitively. Robert changed his by the exchange of a single vowel. It was a work that marked a major turning point in his life and practice.I met with Robert at his studio in New York on the occasion of his recent back to back solo shows at Ulterior Gallery. The first, Vestige, premieres a collection of staged Kodak Instant photographs made in the early 80’s during Robert’s first years in New York. The second show, entitled Second Hand, presents Buck’s ongoing series of amended thrift-store paintings, a body of work he began to coincide with the changing of his father’s name.You can see my portrait of Robert in his studio at www.williamjesslaird.com/imageculture as well as on Instagram @william.jess.laird or @image.cultureYou can find more information on Robert Buck at https://www.robertbuck.net/ and http://www.ulteriorgallery.com/Special thanks to Takako Tanabe and the team at Ulterior.

On the show is the artist Juan Antonio Olivares. Juan’s highly interdisciplinary work resists traditional object-oriented art production. Instead, his work often manifests itself as video. He first studied art at Columbia University, before moving to Germany to study at the Kunstakademie Dusseldorf under acclaimed conceptual photographer Christopher Williams. It was during this time that Juan began work on his film Moléculas, a 10 minute CGI animation following a one-armed teddy bear who ruminates on family, loss, and our place in the world. If it sounds strange, it’s because it is, but it was also one of my favorite works of the year, and I wasn’t alone. Moléculas was recently acquired by The Whitney and is now on view at the museum through June 10th. I encourage everyone to go see it.I got the chance to photograph Juan at his Brooklyn studio, and you can see the portrait at www.williamjesslaird.com/imageculture as well as on Instagram @william.jess.laird or @image.cultureYou can find more information on Moléculas here: https://whitney.org/Exhibitions/JuanAntonioOlivaresI’d like to thank Juan Antonio Olivares, John Miller, the Columbia University and Barnard College Art Departments, and the entire team at the Whitney Museum, especially to Jane Panetta and Allie Tepper.

Spring is here, and it is time to talk about fashion. I have two lovely guests who are moms and amazing women. They have also opened a boutique clothing store in my hometown of Lufkin, Texas. Nicole Carter and Sarah Levine are the co-owners of Spruce a boutique fashion store.  On this episode, we talk about what colors are in for the spring season and the  essentials that every woman should have in her wardrobe. We have some fun with fashion don’ts and celebrities that always look put together. We also share our favorite ladies to follow on Instagram. Most important of all, we talk about what really matters which is the woman inside.  You can find Nicole & Sarah here: Spruce Spruce on Facebook  Show Notes [03:49] Nicole and Sarah are here. After the podcast, they are heading off to a style show.  [04:46] Nicole was a fashion major, and Sarah was a graphic design major. Nicole and Sara met three years ago and became good friends.   [05:24] They went on a three hour trip with their husbands which actually turned into a seven-hour trip. This gave them a lot of time to talk about the details of opening up a boutique clothing store.  [05:41] They have five kids between the two of them and four are girls.  [06:45] They started with a broad idea and then narrowed it down to a clothing store.  [07:36] Spruce pays homage to East Texas and they love to spruce things up.   [08:44] Melissa loves subscription box services and easy ways to shop.   [09:43] The clothing at Spruce is in a range of sizes.  [10:40] Everybody's body is unique. It's hard to find stylish clothes that fit.   [11:36] How Melissa had a friend walk into a boutique store and the woman at the counter actually said I hope you are here for a birthday gift, because we don't have anything in your size.  [11:47] Spruce wants people to come into the store and feel good about themselves.  [12:08] Pastels are a common spring color. Vibrant purple, vibrant yellow, and military green are all popular this year.  [13:02] How denim also seems to be popular this year. Although, it's more of a chambray.  [13:45] Chocolate brown has also worked its way into spring and summer.  [14:01] Go to clothes can be denim tops and bottoms, platform espadrilles, and canteen bags. Also dark denim, light denim, and a summer shoe. Everyone needs a black dress and some good staple jewelry.   [17:22] Spend money on the things that count like a great pair of jeans. Also, a cute necklace can go a long way.  [18:42] Some of the biggest fashion mistakes that women make. Not wearing a good bra. A bra is a foundation garment. It doesn't need to be sexy, it needs to be supportive.  [20:51] The white boot is a fashion no. White summer shoes are okay.  [22:06] It's a no not to wear the appropriate shape wear.  [23:14] Don't have panty lines. Wear something to smooth things out.  [24:20] Famous people who are getting it right. Joanna Gaines is a celebrity who gets it right. She dresses really cute even when she is working. She always looks put together.  [25:52] Margot Robbie and Candice Huffine are two other celebrities that dress and look great.   [26:24] Knowing how to dress your own body is so important.  [26:50] Sarah is inspired by her impeccably dressed 88-year-old grandmother. She also loves how her girlfriends dress.  [27:53] Favorite people to follow on Instagram: Lauren Lefevre wears figure flattering clothes. A girl with curves is always put together. Melissa follows Brighton Keller because of her personality.  [30:57] When you do videos for a living, people notice little things like whether your nails are done or not.   [32:11] Don't miss The Social Event on May 4th and 5th in Lufkin, Texas. The theme is Live Known.   [34:32] The lightning round questions.  Thanks for joining us on Ordinary People Ordinary Things. Be sure to subscribe to our podcast on iTunes and leave a nice review.

Schools In with Dan Schwartz & Denise Pope Stanford Graduate School of Education Assistant Professor Sarah Levine discusses the importance of literature and why multiple choice exams aren't the best way to measure students' reading comprehension. Aired originally on SiriusXM on September 2, 2017.

Sarah Levine, assistant professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, discusses the importance of literature and why multiple choice exams aren't the best way to measure students' reading comprehension.

Hello all, Hey, it’s new episode day! This week we welcome Mark Haskell-Smith, author of the hilarious Heart of Dankness, who shares Sarah Levine’s brilliant picaresque novel Treasure Island. We loved it. We also share some really good stuff from our bookshelves about being a starving, boxing circus freak who lives under a bridge. (Or at least, if we combined all of our recommendations into one book, that’s what it would be about. Someone write this!) And finally, Tod once again tries to stump Rider and Julia on what’s a real poem and what’s just Tod reading stuff in a ridiculous poet-y voice. Learn more about your ad choices.
