Message us ANONYMOUSLYGuest cohost David Parke is seated and present to debate his pick “Class Act” (1992 d. Randall Miller). We name our hills to die on, talk about the granddaddies of movies that look “made for streaming,” style vs. substance making this more similar to “Frankenstein,” and “Oppenheimer,” than some may think, and the wildest movie ending in the history of The Review Review so far. All that, and Paul pays full and proper respect to the fine gentleman from Oakland, California. #pleasehammerdonthurtem 6/9!Support the show**All episodes contain explicit language**Main Artwork - Ben McFadden'Review Review Intro/Outro' Themes - Jamie Henwood"What Are We Watching?" & "Whatcha Been Doin'?"

Natalie chats with Toni Jones, founder of Shelf Help book club and author of "You: A Beginner's Guide." They explore the shame stories we carry from childhood, why doing self-help in community matters, learning to hear your inner wisdom, and how slowing down creates space for life-saving decisions.   You: A Beginner's Guide by Toni Jones @ The Pound Project until May 26th, 2026.  Episode show notes: https://baggagereclaim.co.uk/312 Leave a voice note: https://www.speakpipe.com/baggagereclaim  Support the podcast and leave a tip: https://baggagereclaim.ck.page/products/podcast  'Reclaimed' membership: https://www.baggagereclaim.co.uk/reclaimed/ Work with me: https://www.baggagereclaim.co.uk/consultations/ Baggage Reclaim: https://www.baggagereclaim.co.uk  Shop courses and books: https://store.baggagereclaim.com Sign up for my newsletter: https://www.baggagereclaim.co.uk/newsletter/  

Oh my goodness, this was such a rich and inspiring conversation and I now cannot WAIT to go through Toni's debut book ‘You (A Beginner's Guide)' - with Toni's Shelf-Help community.In fact before I say anything more, order your copy of ‘You' BEFORE 26th MAY - it is a limited edition and you won't get a chance to get on your hands on it after that!If you haven't come across Toni Jones before, she is a former journalist turned bibliotherapist and the founder of the Shelf Help Club - the world's first dedicated self-help book club, which has been running for almost a decade.And over the past ten years she's read 1,000+ self-help books (yes. ONE THOUSAND), interviewed hundreds of authors and wellbeing experts, and built a global community inspiring 25,000+ to read, reflect, and apply self-development. And now she has written a book - published by the brilliant The Pound Project - called YOU (The Beginner's Guide), which distils the most important lessons from that decade immersed in the world of self-help. But not only that, she herself has developed a three-step framework designed to help people get to know themselves better and design lives they get to really enjoy - and hearing her talk about this three-step framework got me so excited to read and DO the book.So dive in and join us for this juicy conversation - my first Substack Live! There are a few moments where the internet glitches a little - but I guess that is the nature of LIVE recordings and it doesn't take away from the power of the conversation. Thank you Eva Lydon

Send us Fan MailYour job title can feel like armour, right up until it disappears and you're left asking a scary question: who am I without it? We sit down with Toni, a bibliotherapist and founder of the Shelf Help book club, to talk about burnout, identity, and the moment self-help stops being something you roll your eyes at and becomes something you genuinely need.Toni shares how years in high-pressure tabloid journalism fuelled a relentless pace, and how stepping away brought an unexpected crash in confidence and self-worth. From her first self-help read at 38 to building an online community that discusses personal development books and interviews authors, she's learned that the goal is not “fixing yourself”. It's getting to know yourself, building self-compassion, and making choices with intention rather than habit.We also dig into the structure behind his pocket-sized book, You, The Beginner's Guide: looking back at what shaped you, looking forward at who you're becoming, then supporting your present with habits, routines, rituals, and boundaries. Along the way, we explore three powerful quotes that anchor the work, the hidden cost of hyper-independence, and why doing this in community can change everything, including how your nervous system feels day to day.If you enjoy honest conversations about self-help, bibliotherapy, burnout recovery, and building a healthier relationship with yourself, press play.

This week, Kate investigates Elf on the Shelf: cute Christmas tradition or late-capitalist nightmare? After a simple Instagram question turned into hundreds of responses about surveillance capitalism, invisible labor, and performative parenting, she started to unpack what this manufactured tradition reveals about millennial parenting, Christmas magic, and the mental load of the holidays. Can it just be holly-jolly casual for those of us who like light whimsy labor, or does it have to match its corresponding oppressive, mischievous Christmas elf canon? Plus, the suspicious origin story of Christopher Pop-in-kins and whether Elf on the Shelf's biggest crime isn't the ziplining across the kitchen on dental floss, but intellectual property theft.

David Nihill jumps into The Wayback as we go international and take a cruise through the 80's and 90's of Ireland.

Awww….Elf on the Shelf. One of those holiday traditions that maybe you grew up with, maybe you didn't––but come December 1st, pictures and posts of crazy shenanigans that all the happy little elves (SPIES!) are doing will be all over the place. Are you feeling pressure to join in the *fun* for the sake of your kids? Does this holiday tradition bring you–not your kids–but YOU joy? Does pressuring your kids to “be good” by having an elf spy on them foster love and connection during the holidays? I'm diving into this holiday tradition today, not to tell you to stop doing it, but to help you think about how it serves your family. If you would like to use “Shirley” the Elf or “Rocco” the Elf to create magic around your house during the holidays, more power to you! But as we do that, let's think about how we can use Shirley and Rocco to spread love, joy, connection, and heartfulness with our kids during the holiday season. And if you do not take part in the Elf on the Shelf tradition, don't worry! There are still some really insightful tips for you in this episode too! Positive Discipline and Heartfulness have a place in all seasons, no matter what you believe or how you celebrate. Listen and share as we dive into this busy time.   Resources: You Better Watch Out, You Better Not Cry: Positive Discipline and Elf on the Shelf

Laura via IG says she "needs historical somewhat fictional adventure" and in Episode 46 the booksellers delivered some great ideas. Emma discussed Hildand Menewood by Nicola Griffith. Jen, subbing for Allie, recommends Washington Black by Esi Edugyan and 100 Years of Solitude  to either read again or for the first time if you have not yet done so. And, Kari wants you to read Whalebone Theatre by Joanna Quinn.Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community (NOW LOCATED AT JAM, Junction Arts & Media); three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.

We're back for season 4 of Shelf Help! Nicole and Amy are starting off this new season of our Montessori parenting podcast with some tips for a successful back to school. As Montessori parents, they share ways to help your children before school, tips on how to come home peacefully, and tips for you in dropping kids off at school for the first time.  Show Notes: https://www.thekavanaughreport.com/2023/09/BackToSchoolMontessoriPodcast.html 

Erin on IG asked for "some more queer books that aren't romance or historical fiction". Episode 45 tackles this question Open Throat by Henry Hoake, Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White, Quietly Hostile by Samantha Irby, and Cleanness by Garth Greenwell.Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community (NOW LOCATED AT JAM, Junction Arts & Media); three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.

A few people asked for "just a good summer read" - even if their names were lost in the ether before the booksellers could capture them on IG. This led Episode 44 to begin with a discussion about what makes a book a summer book. Ideas included: it's about a road trip? it's a paperback, it's intense and engrossing and long because you finally have time for those books, or it's light and breezy and entertaining. In short, we reached no conclusion about a definition of a summer read, and the booksellers came up with a great list for you for your summer - no matter your definition of a summer book. Their recommendations include VenCoby Cherie Dimqline, The Swifts for kids, Fake Accounts,and Lapvona by an author we mention a lot - Otessa Moshvegh.Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community (NOW LOCATED AT JAM, Junction Arts & Media); three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.

A question - I LOOOOVED Cloud Cuckoo Land and Great Circle - -need epic multi-POV novels - from Amanda via IG led us into Episode 43. Once again, Allie was unable to join us and sent Jen in her place. Kari started with God of Endings by Jacqueline Holland. Jen mentioned two classics, Dracula and Paradise Lost and a more recent title -- The Dark Materials Series by Philip Pullman. Emma mentioned the graphic novel Here, North Woodsand Cloud Atlas.Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community (NOW LOCATED AT JAM, Junction Arts & Media); three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.

Episode 42 is all about books that are "Informational but easy to digest" based on a question from Britt via Instagram.  Due to her busy schedule  - starting with owning a store and getting married in early July, Allie was unable to join us and sent Jen in her place. We were thrilled to welcome Jen again and wish Allie the best. Now the books. Jen opened with a recommendation for The Right to Sex. Emma followed with Naked Economics by Dartmouth professor Charles Wheelan. Sex and naked? -- we must be headed into summer. Kari recommended Cultish andGeorge: A magpie memoir.Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community (NOW LOCATED AT JAM, Junction Arts & Media); three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.

A request from Matt S. for "gay/qeeer romance novels" was met in Episode 41 with an extensive list from the booksellers, including when When Kate Met Cassidy, One Last Stop, Red White and Royal Blue (soon to be a movie), In At The Deep End, Ladies Guide to Celestial Mechanics, a Lady for a Duke, and all gay hockey books -- which seems to be an extensive sub category of this genre.  Have fun with these.Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community (NOW LOCATED AT JAM, Junction Arts & Media); three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.

Episode 40 answered Dianne's need for "some good humor books that are not romantic comedies of Janet Evanovich ''. This led to a brief discussion about whether Janet Evanovich writes humor books. We came to no conclusion. Suggestions included anything by Eleanor Lipman including her latest Ms. Demeanor, anything by Jenny Lawson and Samantha Irby, and French Exit. We hope these leave everyone laughing.Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community (NOW LOCATED AT JAM, Junction Arts & Media); three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.

Episode 39's question came from Lisa F. and asked us to recommend "good YA book that spotlights an animal, but isn't about animal abuse of heart wrenchingly sad."  This was hard because many animal books are well ... sad. and this amazing group still found some titles to recommend.

Horror Recs! is all Maria Teresa wrote in her request, but our booksellers were incredibly excited to explore this relatively new category they are now using to shelve books in their stores.  And wow, did they come up with some fun books for Episode 37, after having a broad discussion about what makes a book a horror novel, and what sort of sub-genres are included (sporers, body horror). Some titles included in this are: Such Sharp Teeth, Mexican Gothic, Devolution, and Carmilla. We hope you get a thrill from this episode.Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community (NOW LOCATED AT JAM, Junction Arts & Media); three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.

Jenn's question "I would love to go on a European holiday soon, but I just can't find the time or the money. What are some recommended memoirs or 'travel fiction?'" was the starting point for Episode 37. Kari mentioned the Bruno chief of police series based in France and American Gods by Neil Gaiman. allie suggested Lost Daughter by Elena Ferrante, Tender is the Night by F Scott Fitzgerald. Emma talked about the beauty of the Hedonist's Guides to various cities as Greta visual inspiration to travel and A Line in the World by Dorthe Nors. Lisa chimed in with anything by Nobel prize winner Halldor Laxness for those wishing to visit Iceland.Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community (NOW LOCATED AT JAM, Junction Arts & Media); three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH. 

Food becomes the main discussion in Episode 36 when Signe asks "Who's the next Barefoot Contessa?" The booksellers agreed on the following - Ina Gratner still reigns and there is nothing wrong with sticking with her cookbooks. And, if you are looking for someone else they all landed on Alison Roman. Specific discussions of I Dream of Dinner (so you don't have to) and Gesine Bullock-Prado's latest My Vermont Table: Recipes for All Six Seasons were important parts of this episode.Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community (NOW LOCATED AT JAM, Junction Arts & Media); three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH. 

Kirsten asks about her latest reading dilemma, "My dilemma: Making time to read fiction as my thirst for knowledge / evidence increases with age."  The booksellers first challenged her assumption she should or has to read fiction, then came up with a pretty good list including books by Adrienne Brodeur, Jenny Odell, Ottessa Moshfegh, Lydia millet and Rumaan Alam.Shelf Help is a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier  - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?  If you've got a reading dilemma, you can email us a question or voice memo at shelfhelpuv@gmail.com.

Actually, there is no action without anxiety. We all feel it, and we're all driven by it—and almost no one is completely at peace with it. Morra Aarons-Mele, author of The Anxious Achiever and Hiding in the Bathroom: How to Get Out There (When You'd Rather Stay Home), has been working for years to normalize those feelings and the spectrum on which they appear to bring mental health struggles out into the open and encourage people to rethink the relationship between their mental health and their success. We talk about harnessing every degree of anxiety and finding ways to keep going—and even go better—when things get hard.LINKS FROM THE PODThe Anxious AchieverHiding in the Bathroom: How to Get Out There (When You'd Rather Stay Home)The Anxious Achiever PodcastMorra Aarons-MeleUsing tropes and genres like a pro: Ep 334 with Alexis Hall#AmReadingMorra: Robertson Davies The Deptford Trilogy, The Cornish TrilogyWhich sent us onto a tangent that included: Peter Orner, author of Still No Word From You, Katie Crouch, author of Embassy Wife, Andy Borowitz of The Borowitz Report, Sarah Stewart Taylor, author of A Stolen Child and The Drowning Sea who appeared on the podcast in episode 298 and Lisa Christie's The Book Jam, which hosted the event KJ refers to along with her podcast, Shelf Help, and then another podcast, This Jungian Life.KJ: The Murderbot Diaries, Martha WellsIf you love a good writing retreat—especially one that comes with good solid coaching and the chance to meet others who are working on similar projects—here's one to check out.

Books that contain protagonists in their 80s who aren't super-depressed about their age.This episode was guided by a question from Shelf Help's friend KJ, an author herself, who was looking for great books for her mom that feature protagonists who are older and not depressed about it. Her question led of course to the Thursday Murder Club mysteries by Richard Osman, and quickly veered away from those as KJ's question specifically said don't recommend those because her mom is not yet in assisted living.  The Group - Kari, Allie and Emma (still no Sam who was busy at the Norwich Bookstore) - came up with the following: The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen by Hendrik Groen, If You Ask Me And Of Course You Won't by Betty White, Auntie Poldi And The Sicilian Lions (An Auntie Poldi Adventure #1) by Mario Giordano and Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt, among others. They all had us looking forward, at least a bit more, to aging.Shelf Help is a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier  - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?  If you've got a reading dilemma, you can email us a question or voice memo at shelfhelpuv@gmail.com.

Dawn's life had always been about transitions, as an Egyptologist and later as a death doula, she helped bring understanding and purpose to the slow slide from life to death. Her passion for ancient relics was interrupted by her own mother's untimely passing and her taking custody of her younger brother and soon thereafter the birth of her daughter, Merit. 15 years later, she is sent on a quest by one of her dying clients, Winn, that will change her life forever. Dawn must face the past and the man that she left behind in Egypt and contend with all of the passions she put on the back burner to take care of others so long ago. Surviving a plane crash helps her to have perspective on her choices and she realizes what is most important to her. Today we are going to sip a 2018 Courbis Cornas which has been described as ‘a 93 point syrah with plump minerality that is well-balanced with notes of smoked meat, dark fruit and chocolate' on its shelf talker. What is a shelf talker, you ask? The artistic descriptions in front of a wine on the shelf of a wine shop. Think of it like a dating profile for your wine.
