Podcasts about season 3

Today, Debbie talks to good friend and bestselling author Thomas E. Ricks about writing.  This episode will appeal to listeners even if you're not a word nerd or have writing a book at the top of your bucket list.Tom is a military history columnist for the New York Times and author of seven books, the last five of which have been New York Times bestsellers. His best known book is "Fiasco: the American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2003 - 2005," which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2007.  His most recent book, published in November 2020, is "First Principles: What America's Founders Learned From the Greeks and Romans, and How That Shaped Our Country."He was a war correspondent and a member of Pulitzer Prize-winning teams covering the military for both the Wall Street Journal (2000) and the Washington Post (2002).  As Debbie puts it, he's the "real deal" when it comes to writing serious books. Tom is currently working on his eighth book, a military appreciation of the Civil Rights Movement. Tom and his wife Mary Kay, also an author, are Debbie's good friends and neighbors in Maine.Today, they talk about what drives Tom to write: is it for money, for recognition, to win another Pulitzer prize, to connect with his readers, the writing itself? His answer is a good one.  They address the big questions: how long does it take him to write a book, how does he choose his topics, what is his  advice for would-be book writers, and more.  Debbie and Tom also get into the nitty gritty of his writing process. He takes us through a day in the life of Tom Ricks which includes bringing tea to Mary Kay in the morning and making lunch most days for the two of them. Despite how prolific he is, Tom does not write for 8 hours a day. He is witty and passionate on the topic of writing, as well as being honest and revealing, and this is a wonderful conversation. Mentioned in this episode or useful:Thomas E.

Debbie Weil brings her husband, Sam Harrington, back onto the show. A retired physician, Sam is NOT a  believer in midlife-crisis camps nor in navel gazing, which is what he told family and friends Debbie was dragging him across the country to do. But somehow, after both of them were twice vaccinated, Debbie persuaded Sam to get on a plane and fly to Mexico’s Baja Sur. Their destination: Modern Elder Academy.If you've been listening to the podcast, you've heard about MEA.  You could call MEA a wellness retreat. It’s idyllic: simple accommodations overlook the crashing waves of a broad mile-long beach.  Birdsong fills the air, water trickles from fountains, and bright Bougainvillea blooms everywhere. An organic garden produces wonderful meals and a dusty dirt road leads to the nearest village.But MEA is more than a wellness retreat. It’s also a school - and a community - of like-minded people. MEA tends to attract open-minded individuals from their 30s to 70s, who are on a quest to define "what's next” in their lives and who are willing to think differently about aging. Guests can attend structured discussions, there’s time for journal writing and reflection, and there are meditation and yoga classes. Debbie and Sam talk about a few of the topics that were on offer during their two-week stay, including the difference between growth vs. fixed mindsets (you can guess which one is preferable) and something called appreciative inquiry which is an expansive way of both listening and asking questions. Sam ultimately admits that he IS feeling calm and centered.  Mentioned in this episode or useful:Modern Elder AcademyEl Pescadero, Baja California SurNavigating Midlife Transitions, MEA’s Online ProgramS3-EP20: Jeff Hamaoui on Navigating the Messy Middle of TransitionsS1-EP6: Chip Conley on Growing Wise at Modern Elder Academy (Modern Elders, Part 1)S1-EP7: Four Different Decades on Transition and Reinvention (Modern Elders, Part 2) Previous episodes featuring host Debbie Weil and her husband Sam Harrington:S3-EP16: Debbie & Sam on Fasting For Five Days and Why They Were Crazy Enough to Do ItS2-EP24: Debbie & Sam on the Gap Year For Everyone, Silver Linings, and Not Should'ingS2-EP18: Debbie & Sam on the New Normal, Quarantines, Immunity Passports, and Masks & GlovesS2-EP12: Debbie & Sam on the Coronavirus, Magical Thinking, and AgingS1-EP10: On Debbie & Sam's Bucket List: Living in FranceS1-EP2: Debbie & Sam on How They Decided to Take a Gap Year at Age 62 A gift for listeners: a Baja meditation soundtrackDebbie created a 20-minute meditation soundtrack (with help from producer Julie-Roxane) from the distinctive Baja birdsong and trickling water she heard every morning before meditation practice.

When will the Covid 19 pandemic end? That’s the question on everyone’s mind. Today Debbie talks to one person who just might have an answer to that question. Nicholas Christakis is a nationally-recognized expert in three fields: medicine, sociology and public health. He’s a distinguished Sterling Professor at Yale, a researcher on the topics of social networks and human goodness, and a bestselling author, most recently, of Apollo’s Arrow: The Profound and Enduring Impact of Coronavirus on the Way We Live.He’s been named to TIME magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. His fluency in explaining the science, epidemiology, psychology, sociology and history of pandemics makes this a fascinating conversation. Plus he’s got a good sense of humor:You’ll hear why he chose to publish Apollo’s Arrow last fall, midway through the COVID 19 pandemic, before we knew the end of the storyHow his childhood experiences with illness and death affected his career choicesWhat the predictable three phases of a pandemic are (HINT: we're still in the immediate phase)Why he thinks this pandemic won’t be over until 2024They also talked about separating the biological vs. the psychological impacts of the pandemicWhat herd immunity actually means and whether we’ll get thereAnd what the public health messaging around the pandemic should beDebbie asks him point blank: when is the next pandemic? The answer is unnerving - sooner than you might think. But they end on a positive note: plagues historically bring loss, grief, confusion, and misinformation. But they also reveal cooperative and generous behavior, the best of humankind. About Nicholas ChristakisWikipediaTwitterYale UniversityTed TalksHuman Nature Lab at YalePhoto Credit: Evan Mann Books by Nicholas ChristakisApollo's Arrow: The Profound and Enduring Impact of Coronavirus on the Way We Live by Nicholas Christakis (Little, Brown Spark 2020)Blueprint: The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society by Nicholas Christakis (Little, Brown Spark 2019)Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives by Nicholas Christakis (Little, Brown Spark 2009)Death Foretold: Prophecy and Prognosis in Medical Care by Nicholas Christakis (University of Chicago Press, 2001) Articles and interviewsA year of COVID: Making sense of an ‘alien and unnatural’ time (Yale News, March 4, 2021)Epidemiologist looks to the past to predict second post-pandemic 'roaring 20s' (The Guardian, December 21, 2020)Denial And Lies Are 'Almost An Intrinsic Part Of An Epidemic,' Doctor Says (NPR, October 29, 2020)The pandemic is as much about society, leaders, and values as it is about a pathogen (Science Mag, November 17, 2020)The New York Times Book Review: The Pandemic's Future — and Ours (NYT Book Review, November 3, 2020)The Importance of Being Little: What Young Children Really Need from Grownups by Erika Christakis (Penguin Books 2016)Remote Learning Isn't the Only Problem With School (The Atlantic, December 2020)The COVID-19 Pandemic and the $16 Trillion Virus by Larry H.

Our best episode yet! (minus the tech issues lol) This episode is filled to the brim with awesome shit. Preston Hargrove is back at it, bringing some sick piano covers and very insightful lyric analyses. We also stumbled upon some of our own super interesting fan theories -- and we mean theories -- even though Preston has read the manga, neither Emily nor I have gotten any information past where the AoT anime left us. And he did a very good job not spoiling anything for us. Oh yeah! We even got to bash one of the worst anime OP's to date.We also touched on something a little closer to home -- Mental Health in the Anime Community -- and were blown away by the amazing non-profit business venture that Preston intends to start.You're a beautiful soul, friend.

Reminder to submit a written review to Apple Podcasts and share the show with your friends! The lads rehash Sully's Pop Takes from the previous week. Johnny has a bubble in his throat. Do you know who Stewart Cink is? Breaking News From Florida sees an esteemed artist scissor kick a polite tourist. Johnny's Pop Take strikes out at the Chic-fil-a old guard. Chris, of course, goes on a rant. Around the Table explores the oddity of Zoom meetings even though you can see the people you are meeting with through your window. Naturally, windows become a hot topic. Chris has a romantic encounter with a window washer. Pat has a panicked encounter with a painter. Johnny has concerns about teeth temperature. The LOTR Impersonation contest does not stop until nightfall. Chris finds himself in Zodiac memery.Want to support the show?Follow us on Instagram to vote on the Pop Take of the Week and the true winner of the LOTR Impersonation Contest.SFH Merch Store: https://teespring.com/stores/sfh-merchLeave us a written review on Apple Podcasts and we will read it on the show!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!

Debbie talks with Jeff Hamaoui, Modern Elder Academy Co-founder and Chief Education and Innovation Officer, about getting through the "messy middle" of this pandemic transition year as we all wonder what comes next.If you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while you’ve heard her mention MEA and you might have heard her interviews with founder Chip Conley. You'll recall that she's been to this remarkably beautiful and healing place in Baja California, Mexico. MEA is a program, or an academy, where you focus on re-thinking what it means to get older and  how to become a wise, or modern, elder.This winter Debbie joined MEA’s online program, Navigating Midlife Transitions. She felt acutely that she needed time and space to reflect on - and make sense of - this pandemic “gap” year. And that she needed to do it with a group of like-minded individuals. Jeff’s guidance through the program  was truly provocative. So she called him to dive a little deeper.Aren’t we all, this year, in the middle of a transition that isn’t complete yet? Jeff, and others who have studied transitions (most notably William Bridges), call this the "messy middle." It’s a period that’s not easy, or comfortable, to get through. The old has ended but the new has not yet started or at least it’s not clear what the new will be. And not just for society but for each of us individually.Debbie and Jeff talk about:Why Jeff's interest in transitionsWhat is a modern elderThe anatomy of a transitionThe concept of messy middles and how to get through themWhy a growth mindset is importantPattern interruption - why you need to go to a place to rethink aging and midlifeAt the end of the episode, listen for the sound of birdsong and water trickling from a fountain as Debbie reports back from a recent visit to the MEA campus in Baja with her husband Sam. Mentioned in this episode or useful:Jeff Hamaoui Co-founder of MEAModern Elder AcademyChip Conley Founder of MEAChristine Sperber Co-founder of MEAKari Henley Director, MEA OnlineNavigating Midlife Transitions, MEA’s Online Program (enrollment open now)Personal Values Online TestWisdom at Work: the Making of a Modern Elder by Chip Conley (Currency 2018)Managing Transitions, 25th Anniversary Edition by William Bridges and Susan Bridges (Da Capo Lifelong Books 2017)Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck (Ballantine Books 2007)The Gap Year Podcast S1 – Ep. 6: Chip Conley on Growing Wise at Modern Elder Academy (Modern Elders, Part 1)The Gap Year Podcast S1 – Ep. 7: Four Different Decades on Transition and Reinvention (Modern Elders, Part 2)El Pescadero, Baja California Sur Note from DebbieI hope you enjoyed this podcast.

One of the biggest "gaps" for Debbie this past year was the absence of Island Women Speak, the multi-generational women’s storytelling event she has produced and directed on Deer Isle, Maine.For the past three winters, on a cold January night, seven local women representing seven decades from 20s to 80s have bravely stepped on stage to tell revealing five-minute stories about their lives, in the tradition of Moth storytelling. The other half of the storytelling equation is the audience: packed into Stonington, Maine’s historic Opera House theatre for warmth and intimacy, their presence has never failed to create a safe space for storytelling.It has been a special evening that this community has talked about for weeks and months afterwards. It's meant so much to Debbie to work with these extraordinary women and to help make the event happen.Well, it was NOT to be in January 2021.So she decided to invite three past performers onto the show, representing three different decades (or teams), to get their differing perspectives on this pandemic year and to offer a taste of the intimacy and wisdom that the audience has loved in the past. In this short episode, you’ll hear from three women about loneliness and uncertainty but also about resilience and perseverance, the sturdy outlook on life that is typical of Mainers. Representing Team 30 is Amanda Larrabee who is a landscaper and mother of a teenager.  For Team 50 is Becky Siebert who has served the community for decades as a nurse. And for Team 80 is Lorraine Knowlton, a retired minister. All three are lifelong residents of Deer Isle, Maine, the remote coastal community that Debbie now calls home.Debbie asks each of them a series of questions about their pandemic year:- What has been most challenging for you?- What is your NEW BEST THING that has come out of this year?- What do you want more of?- This has been a year of loss, but has it been a lost year for you?Tune into this short episode to hear three women, three generations, and three perspectives on the ways we've all experienced this past year and how we are looking ahead. Watch videos of their  Island Women Speak performances:Amanda LarrabeeBecky SiebertLorraine Knowlton Mentioned in this episode or useful:About Island Women SpeakS1-EP9: Island Women Speak: Connection, Truth, and Storytelling in MaineDeer Isle, METhe Moth (the art and craft of storytelling)Island Women Speak (article in The Ellsworth American, January 24, 2020)Why Older People Managed to Stay Happier Through the Pandemic (New York Times, March 12, 2021)Parents, Stop Talking About the ‘Lost Year’ by Judith Warner (NYTimes, April 11, 2021) Note from DebbieI hope you enjoyed this podcast.

We kickoff season 3 at the Rainbow Ranch in Groesbeck, TX with special guest, Angel Seven. 

Our Season 3 opener with special guest, Angel Seven. Live from the Rainbow Ranch!

This week the lads start by viciously attacking cyclists. Breaking News From Florida brings tales of urinals and streaking through forests. Johnny's Pop Take harshly criticizes people from Maryland, something both Pat and Chris can get behind. This podcast was sponsored by Coffee. In the trenches with Tolkein brings up the rear where the lads determine what the most awkward Wednesday probably looked like. Oh and Chris can't speak... again.

Are you a potato?

In the sixth episode of Season 3, Manifest Destiny, Kyle is joined by script supervisor Katy Baldwin and screenwriter David Gutierrez to discuss Howard Hawk's foundational and seminal western about family, legacy, empire, and the competing philosophies emerging in the west that is Red River

Today, Debbie Weil talks to Rene Colson Hudson, executive director of the Healthy Island Project on Deer Isle, Maine. The two of them delve into something that many people appear to be grappling with right now:  pandemic fatigue. Debbie recently asked the question on her Facebook page: "Are you suffering from pandemic fatigue?" She got several dozen "yes's," which got her to thinking. Even with vaccines becoming readily available for anyone of any age, in many states, and with light at the end of the tunnel, it seems that many are feeling weary and depleted by this long year and the sameness of our days.That includes Debbie (who also admits that she is suffering from crankiness and impatience). So she went looking for a little pep talk. Rene has been at the center of COVID relief efforts on Deer Isle over the past 12 months, overseeing a lunch and dinner program that serves over 100 elderly residents every week. The Healthy Island Project is a nonprofit that focuses on improving community health and that brings together a cross section of Stonington / Deer Isle, Maine residents. The organization has grown fivefold since the beginning of the pandemic. Money has come pouring in from supporters, Rene told Debbie, and she is busier than ever.Rene moved full-time from New Jersey to Deer Isle five years ago. She is an ordained minister and has studied leadership and contemplative practices. And she offers both a practical and a soulful approach to thinking about pandemic fatigue. She reminds us to be more mindful of the little things, to practice gratitude, and to find ways to help others. As an example, the Healthy Island Project put Debbie in touch with an elderly gentleman who, without an Internet connection or a computer, needed help making a vaccine appointment. He and Debbie became phone buddies. She and Rene reflect on how gratifying such a  small act can be.What they talked about:Rene’s definition of pandemic fatigue: she emphasizes the word "sameness"Why there is a strong sense of fatigue now, even as things are starting to look upWhat Rene misses most about travelingHow Rene sees pandemic fatigue in the community: the toll it's taking on high schoolers and on elderly residentsThe importance of awareness and mindfulness of the little thingsThe practice of gratitude and the adventure of going nowhereRene’s antidote to pandemic fatigue: serving others Mentioned in this episode or useful:Rene Colson HudsonHealthy Island Project | A nonprofit enhancing the health of Deer IsleDeer Isle, MainePico Iyer: The Art of Stillness (TED Talk)How to Write a Gratitude Letter (New York Times, Feb. 27, 2021)14 Fixes for Pandemic Monotony (The Atlantic, Feb. 24, 2021) Note from DebbieI hope you enjoyed this podcast.

In the fifth episode of Season 3, Manifest Destiny, Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Zax Protzmann (of the West Coast Popcast) and cinephile Sarah Gray to discuss the first example of the anti-western, William A.

In the fourth episode of Season 3, Manifest Destiny, Kyle is joined by composer Austin Howard and fellow critic Tyler Harlow (of the After the Credits blog) to discuss one of John Ford's complicated portrait of the face and humanity of the soldiers of the cavalry, their community, and their lost presence in the sacrifice of the American myth in Fort Apache

In the second episode of Season 3, Manifest Destiny, Kyle is joined by screenwriter David Gutierrez and novelist/podcast Samuel Cullado (of the Documental Podcast) to discuss the devilishly opaque and psychological kaleidoscope that is Nicholas Ray's strange, colorful, and offbeat embodiment of the western genre, Johnny Guitar.

In the opening of Season 3, Manifest Destiny, Kyle is joined by a panel of guests, including editor Kristi Shimek, cinematographer Josh Carter, and actor Ben McGinley, to discuss the Sergio Leone western masterpiece about the incoming of progress, civilization, and social order against the backdrop of the dying breed of men, the chaos of violence, and the ruthless landscape that is the representation of the old west in Once Upon a Time in the West.

Today, Debbie has a conversation with Maine’s Poet Laureate Stuart Kestenbaum. Whether or not you're a fan of reading or writing poetry, you won't want to miss this episode. Stuart tells stories in his soothing, often humorous style, including what led him to decide to become a poet and how he fell in love with  Maine. They talk about listening to poems read aloud and how that slows time down and creates a moment of community. They also talk about his process of discovery when he is writing poems. The topics they touch on: community and connection, love and loss, grief and creativity are relevant to this pandemic year. Stuart is the author of five collections of poems, most recently Things Seemed to Be Breaking (Deerbrook Editions 2021), and a collection of essays The View from Here (Brynmorgen Press). He was the director of the internationally renowned Haystack Mountain School of Crafts from 1988 until 2015. He was the host of Maine Public Radio’s popular program Poems from Here, where each week he read aloud a poem by a Maine author. He hosted/curated the podcast Make/Time and he is the host/curator of a soon-to-be-released podcast, Voices of the Future, a series of conversations with a dozen young Maine writers about their writing and their lives. This 12-episode podcast is his last project as Maine’s Poet Laureate as his five-year tenure, sadly, is coming to an end in 2021.He also reads two of his poems on this episode, including one of Debbie's favorites, Starting the Subaru at Five Below. As former U.S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser has written: “Stuart Kestenbaum writes the kind of poems I love to read, heartfelt responses to the privilege of having been given a life.  No hidden agendas here, no theories to espouse, nothing but life, pure life, set down with craft and love.” See below for  links to Stuart’s poetry collections, his podcasts, stage performances and more. He writes and speaks widely on craft-making and creativity. His poems and writing have appeared in numerous small press publications and magazines including Tikkun, The Sun, The Beloit Poetry Journal, The New York Times Magazine, and on the Writer’s Almanac and American Life in Poetry.This was a wonderful conversation.  Mentioned in this episode or useful:Stuart Kestenbaum's websitePoems from Here with Maine Poet Laureate Stuart Kestenbaum, his program on Maine Public RadioFor final project, Maine poet laureate puts out podcast featuring young writers by Bob Keyes, Portland Press-Herald, March 7, 2021Words of Gratitude From Maine, New York Times, Nov. 25, 2020Make/Time PodcastStarting the Subaru at Five Below by Stuart KestenbaumAmen, Stuart's poem selected by Naomi Shihab Nye for the New York Times, Jan. 2, 2020Sometime during eternity... by Lawrence FerlinghettiWild Geese by Mary OliverOut of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking by Walt WhitmanProfessor Fred WagnerStuart Kestenbaum's talk at Maine Live about his brother Howard who died in the Twin Towers on 9/11Susan Webster:  Stuart’s wife and collaborator on art & writing:Maplewood, NJLong Lake, Naples, MaineCadillac Mountain, Acadia National Park, MaineMount Desert, MaineHaystack Mountain School of CraftsHancock CountyThe Telling Room, Portland, Maine  Note from DebbieI hope you enjoyed this podcast.
