We're going to be covering the short stories in Slow Learner after each section of Against the Day, as we are going through that. This episode we discuss The Small Rain, Pynchon's first published short story. What we liked, what we didn't like, and how Pynchon has grown as a writer are all topics of conversation and we hope you'll enjoy listening to our ramblings. We'll return to Against the Day in the next episode.As always, thanks so much for listening!Email: ⁠mappingthezonepod@gmail.com⁠Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mappingthezone.bsky.socialTwitter: https://twitter.com/pynchonpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mappingthezonepodcast/Show art by Brad Wetzel: @bradspersecond (on IG and Reddit) bradspersecond.com

After discussing Part One of Against the Day, we spent some time talking with our guest, Johan Harstad, about whatever came to mind—the music of Hüsker Dü, David Foster Wallace, the films of Ingmar Bergman, and so much else.We'll be back in two weeks to discuss The Small Rain, the first short story from Pynchon's Slow Learner collection before diving back into Against the Day.Please check out Johan's work wherever you buy books and follow him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lacktr/As always, thanks so much for listening!Email: ⁠mappingthezonepod@gmail.com⁠Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mappingthezone.bsky.socialTwitter: https://twitter.com/pynchonpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mappingthezonepodcast/Show art by Brad Wetzel: @bradspersecond (on IG and Reddit) bradspersecond.com

Welcome back to ParaPower Mapping and the fifth installment of "The Secret History of MasSUSchusetts". It's a surprise double header! This was initially going to be one episode, but I got so obsessed w/ mapping William Pynchon's fur-trading monopoly and decoding the Rosicrucian wordplay in Thomas Pynchon's short story "Under the Rose" that I had to split it into 2. This episode covers:  our cont'd serialization of Winthrop the Younger's alchemical Rosicrucian plantation; the enabling of his settlement of the Pequot lands of Nameaug/ New London by his daddy's war against the Pequot; the complex territorial power dynamics b/w Winthrop Jr., the Mohegan chief Uncas, the Pequot Robin Cassacinamon, & the Connecticut & Massachusetts colonies; Winthrop's attempt to use his alchemedicine practice to consolidate power & respect among Pequot by posing as a "powwaw" (medicine doctor); Uncas's strategic wifing up & the rad counter-revolutionary moment when Robin helped a Pequot woman escape from her enslavement in Winthrop Sr.'s compound in Boston; Uncas & his war band's raid on New London—attempt to assert his power over Pequot villagers & make his tributaries return to his camp; the rare instance where the colonial authorities sided w/ Uncas (an indigenous sachem) instead of English grievances; Winthrop's enslavement of Robin; Uncas's obstruction of Winthrop the Younger's shipments of ore from his Tantiusque mine site... ...a brief Puritanical backlash against alchemy in the 1640s, & Winthrop Jr.'s ally Robert Child's house arrest; Child's dissident faction, which petitioned the colonies to change their enfranchisement laws & push MA + CT to become more religiously tolerant... ...William Pynchon's defense of Robert Child's crew; his "heretical" text The Meritorious Price of Our Redemption; William Pynchon family's gentry status & property-holdings in Chelmsford; his status as churchwarden & "Matthew Yglesias-like hall monitoring" of his fellow villagers (basically he was a pain in everyone's ass); Pynchon fam's decision to join the Puritan emigres to NE for economic reasons; his founding of Roxbury & Springfield; preexisting relationship w/ the Winthrop's; the tragic smallpox epidemic that killed 12,000 indigenous in the Connecticut River Valley in 1633, "clearing the way" for Pynchon's Springfield; Pynchon's land & fur speculation; his role as colonial treasurer; the Springfielders' belief that Connecticut indigenous cursed their settlement by invoking Hobbamock; Pynchon as magistrate & overlord of his village; his prosecution of Hugh & Mary Parsons for witchcraft, which may have acted as a convenient distraction from his heresy case; Pynchon's proto-capitalist system of keeping villagers indebted to him indefinitely so he could work them to death, particularly Hugh Parsons; witch's teats, purple milk, a calf w/ 3 heads, witch-y night terrors, UAP lights over Boston, bloody rain, & other "Memorable Providences"; Mary Parson's shock confession of witchcraft & death in prison; Pynchon's Biblical exegesis of the Atonement; & his return to Old England... ...a mapping of W. Pynchon's powerful descendants; Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables & the Pynchon fam's piss-iness that he "slandered" them; a glossing of Thomas Pynchon's early life, matriculation at Cornell, Navy deployment, Greenwich Village connections, & early writing career; a semi-close-reading (possibly schizo) of one of Pynchon's earliest stories, the spy-caper "Under the Rose" (which was repurposed in V. & Slow Learner), especially the rampant Rosicrucian symbolism & wordplay; his use of his colonial heritage; & other speculations... Songs: | Maas — “San Narciso” | | The Insect Trust — “The Eyes of a New York Woman” | | 15 seconds of... Dropkick Murphys — “Shipping Up to Boston” ...for comedic effect | | Sheb Wooley — “The Purple People Eater” | | Radiohead — “We Drink Young Blood” | | Greenfield Leisure — “Too Fat to Frug” |

Today we start the episode by congratulating Dylan on winning the regular season but now we get into the playoffs and the guys are all back at zero. The guys make their playoff picks, Dan compares the fellas to different playoff quarterbacks and Bad Larry does something that he's never done before since the start of this show.

In this weeks EXPERT Edition - Sam Led was born with a neurodiverse brain (see below for definition). In other words he was born with a brain that just works differently. After being diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, GAD by well meaning mental health professionals, he thought he needed fixing. As a child he was placed in a 'Slow Learner' classroom that even had a sign on the door! He spent decades suffering  around how incompetent he felt because his mind worked differently.  He also suffered from panic attacks and anxiety that disrupted so many areas of his life. Sam discusses his troubled childhood, and life growing up, until the day he was introduced to a revolutionary new understanding of how the mind works. Suddenly his life opened up in magical ways. He learned how to thrive with anxiety, OCD, and ADHD. I learned that he did not have to be afraid of his experience, rather embrace it! Note: Neurodiversity refers to neurological conditions  with variations in the human genome.  ADHD, Autism, Dyspraxia, and Dyslexia all fall within the spectrum of “Neurodiversity” and are all neurodiverse conditions.

Happy Monday! In today's episode i bring to the conversation to my personal reality of being a slow learner in this society and the stigma of it. This also links in with the “People have no Patience for People” episode.

UNTIL you OVERCOME the fear of FAILURE, you will be IMMOBILISED at the PROSPECT of taking a RISK. The IMPORTANT thing to REMEMBER when you FAIL is NOT to quit. History SHOWS that FAILURE can ACTUALLY become a BRIDGE to SUCCESS. In school, Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was forty-second in a class of forty-three, yet he WENT on to BUILD an ARMY that CONQUERED much of the WORLD. George Washington (1732-1799) the founding father and the first president of the United States of America lost two-thirds of his MILITARY BATTLES, yet against OVERWHELMING odds he won the REVOLUTIONARY War and CHANGED American history. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) a German born theoretical physicist WAS such a SLOW LEARNER that it was SUGGESTED he switch STUDIES from physics to some other topic, yet he's CONSIDERED the father of the atomic age. When you RECALL these NAMES you don't REMEMBER their FAILURES but their CONTRIBUTIONS to the WORLD. Only when you CONSIDER your FAILURE to be FINAL, are you FINALLY a failure. FAILURE is not an event, only an OPINION, and as long as it's NOT your OPINION you can come BACK and succeed. 'A righteous man may fall seven times and rise again.' In his first inaugural address Franklin Roosevelt (1882-1945) the 32nd president of the United States of America told the nation, 'The only THING we have to FEAR is fear itself.' FAILURE is not FATAL; you can BEGIN again. But the FEAR of FAILURE could PROVE fatal to YOUR goals by KEEPING you from TRYING again. After cataloguing every possible scenario that could come against us, such as tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, sword, Paul writes: 'Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us' (Romans 8:37 NKJV). So the word for you today is- don't be AFRAID OF FAILURE. God's servant Rev Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father give me the strength to always overcome my seemly failures in life's assignment and to try again knowing failure is not the last verdict on my life in Jesus name. Anchor Scripture: 'A RIGHTEOUS MAN MAY FALL SEVEN TIMES AND RISE AGAIN...' (Proverbs 24:16 NKJV) Stay Blessed! YearOfSupernaturalProvision

I am sharing these two posts from the blog I felt led to create called Types of Christians. You can access 100's of these posts from this blog on https://TypesOfChristians.blogspot.com/ Since these posts are examples of how I apply particular Bible passages to my personal life, they may not reflect the total meaning of the Bible passage. They are shared as examples, so people might realize that the Bible is still relevant in our lives today! Please share this podcast and blog link with those who might benefit. Thanks! Debbie

Calling all dopers, flower children, and undercover operatives for your friendly neighborhood vice squad...tune in and drop out with our tenth and most special episode yet on 2014's Inherent Vice! Listen to us ramble our way for just over five minutes short of five hours through a whole host of questions: To what extent was Paul Thomas Anderson's adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's 2009 novel a success? What does the well-worn and in many ways exhausted shaggy dog LA (that's Los Angeles, *not* the Lenoir-Area) detective story have to tell us at this point that hasn't been expressed before? What are our impromptu takes on the trailer for Space Jam: A New Legacy? All these and many more pressing issues are (kinda, sorta??) answered by the episode's end!

This question was sent by Steven, and he writes: “Hi Vidas. Organ playing is going okay, thank you for asking. These days I am making more time for practice, which is key. I still feel like I am a slow learner, but I know how to pull apart a new piece and start making it work. Pedal work continues to improve, with the biggest aspect I'm noticing is my accuracy. The right foot position (like keeping toes touching the "black" pedals) seems to be super helpful. I have a teacher, and we have lessons every other week for one hour. I typically work up a couple hymns out of the ELW, sometimes an introduction or related piece with those hymns. Then I have several other pieces in various states of progress.”

Dana Reed from Operation Barbecue Relief returns on our 15th episode to share his exploits on the competition celebrity charity BBQ circuit. The talk descends into the best way to boucherie and serve a pig, which is usually by making bacon. We inaugurate the new stage at GGBCO and realize when ‘the sum of the parts are greater than the whole’, it means we didn’t put some of the parts back together correctly.

Sunday morning sermon, Feb 2, 2020, "I'm a Slow Learner, Lord, When it Comes to Comprehending Your Mercy" Jonah 4:1-11

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show Are you a slow-learner when it comes to seeing reality in your relationships? In the name of giving someone the benefit of the doubt, do you struggle to call a spade a spade? Have you been conditioned to be nice even when the ugly truth is staring you in the face? One of the most famous quotes from the late Maya Angelou is: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." This suggestion seems so simple and so obvious, and yet it can be so very challenging to believe the truth about who someone is the first time that they show that truth. The place to start is by telling the truth to yourself about who someone is and what the quality of your relationship with them is. Join Aideen for a powerful discussion about telling the truth in and about your relationships. Author of My Exquisite Purple Life  Purchase Book Here or Audio Here https://www.balboapress.com/BookStore/BookDetails/752312-My-Exquisite-Purple-Life ~ More About In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola ~  Aideen T. Finnola is an empowerment coach, author, speaker, and radio show host. She is an unapologetic and empowered survivor of and thriver after physical, emotional, psychological, and religious abuse. As she was raised in a religious cult for the first two decades of her life and was then unsuspectingly married to a closeted gay man for her life’s next two decades, she has a lot of experience with varying degrees and expressions of untruth. These experiences have fueled her pursuit of truth to the point of a full-on passion (some might say obsession). Aideen has learned that above all, untruth is both unworkable and painful. Coming from the perspective that life, time and space, and the human experience are all perfect and good, she knows that truth can only exist within ideas and experiences that are both workable and enjoyable. Aideen coaches her clients to find their own truth by investigating outside the conventional parameters of “should and shouldn’t,” “good and bad,” and “right and wrong.” She guides them instead to evaluate their experiences by questioning “Is this working for me?” and “Am I enjoying this?” Aideen empowers people all over the world through her coaching, her memoir, My Exquisite Purple Life, her speaking, and her radio show. Her unwavering message is to look for truth, guidance, and answers within, because it’s all there inside! https://www.aideentfinnola.com/     ~    https://www.facebook.com/aideentfinnola    To get more of In Pursuit Of Truth ~ Aideen T.

Being a slow learner results in frustration when it comes to developing one's fluency or accent. However, there is also an advantage to being a slow learner, which I share with you in today's podcast motivation lesson of English Jade.

She not only sees clients, but is also a consultant for other therapists around both clinical and business matters (her counsel has saved me so many times I can't even!) In this episode, Helen and I talk about how our work is never done - no matter our age or our experience as therapists. She also shares some interesting insights she's just discovered even after many years of doing her own work...just goes to show that we're ALWAYS in healing mode.

In 2008 I started a series of radio shows with fellow Freak and host, Jonny Rock. The original format was based around vinyl. Digital started to creep in, then CD's, then YouTube rips, and so on. But the idea remained the same, that we were sharing our discoveries with an audience. Fast forwarding a couple of years and expanding on the original concept, I will once again be playing dance music that you may or may not have heard, but this time said music will be readily available, if pointed in the right direction of course. The idea is for you to use me as your selector slash shop assistant in a virtual record store. Not only will I be shouting about both old and new music, but I will also be following it up with a series of compilations to be released on my label, Classic throughout the year. I will be your slightly odd, slightly off-centre, guide. But ultimately and most importantly, your friendly on-line record shop assistant. Tracklisting: 01. Skin Horse 'Slow Learner' (Fina) 02. Mike Shannon and A Fiorito feat. San Proper 'Own This' (Cynosure) 03. Cesare 'Ready to Rumble' (Emby) 04. Green Velvet and Carl Craig 'Rosaline' (Relief) 05. Luke Solomon feat Sam Lynham 'Stop the Riot' (PBR Streetgang Remix) (Classic) 06. Mike Dunn 'ICHousePeople' (T's Crates) 07. Dilla 'Won't Do' (JM Edit) 08. Tooth Faeries 'The Sound' (Shabby Doll) 09. Lo Shea 'You'll Know When' (SZE002) 10. Jordan 'Second Wind' (Classic) 11. S3A 'Simple Fuel' (Phongramme) 12. Tim Wright 'Crabs' (The Nothing Special) 13. Pedro Goya and Del Costa '37' (Classic)

This month's show features new music from HNNY, Jose Padilla, Selvy, Chromatic Filters, Nuclear Family, Flash Atkins, Jack Pattern, Telephones, Jose Manuel, Gnork, Vince Watson, Slow Learner and more plus our regular feature 'Classic Plastic'.

Drewe: We need a way for you to live the truth without telling the truth. Stop the World1924The king has to deal with a labor government - Mr. McDonald - the servants are glad he’s worked before - the prime minister is the son of a crofter.Robert: Government is committed to the destruction of people like us and everything we stand for.

Has a hard time following.Match Making - or Breaking?Lord Diffy Murton asked DC to give another luncheon party so he can see Isobel.DC asks Dr. Clarkson about Murton.

Cora tells Robert that DC would be jealous.Isobel is jealous of Lady Shackelton with Murton.MismatchedJimmy has a letter from Lady Anstrather… He sent her Valentines. Thomas: It’s pathetic for a lady to be pining over a footman. Jimmy: Excuse me. I think it’s in very good taste.Lady Anstrather invited herself over for tea. She is staying over because of car problems, but Tom couldn’t find anything wrong with it.Another ScandalTony Gillingham - coming to visit. Robert: That’s okay. I want to see him. In private to Cora: I want to inspire him with thoughts of marriage.Mary tells Anna she hasn’t made up her mind yet. We do these things so weirdly. You have to decide without having spent in real time with them much less the other thing.Mary: Do you dread the future?Gillingham: Only if I have to live it without you.Mary: I do love you in my cold and unfeeling way. I don’t want to get it wrong. I intend to be as happy with my next husband as I was with my first.Gillingham tells Mary he wants them to be lovers.Another prisonerThomas asks Baxter what she knows about Anna and Bates. Bullies her. Molesly is putting on fake hair paint.Baxter tells Molesly about a journey Bates took and something he did that he wouldn’t want known. He would deny the journey. Mosely tells her to report him. Baxter: I can’t. Molesly is tilting his head trying to get her to see his hair. How old do you think I am? Baxter: 52. Molesly: I’m 51.Baxter says to Molesly it’s ironic for Mr. Bates to dress Gillingham because she knows about the scandal. Thomas overhears.Thomas tells Baxter he’ll tell Lady Grantham her story if she doesn’t tell him the connection between Bates and Gillingham’s dead valet.Molesly tells Baxter to tell Cora her story. It will be worse if Mr. Barrow tells her first. (Would be the most nerdy (and uncomfortable) hookup on TV.)Baxter was a friend of his sister’s growing up. She stole from a previous employer. Went to prison for three years.Thomas goes to tell Cora about Baxter and it backfires. She asks why he let a convicted felon in her house, in her bedroom when he knew every detail of her past. If you’ve been using your knowledge against her, I’ll have to consider your future here, Mr. Barrow, whether indeed you have one at all.Baxter is a Bates - won’t give Cora all the details to exonerate herself.Carson to Molesly: I don’t know why you have treated your hair, but the effects are not what you wanted. Take steps, Mr. Molesly. Take steps. You will remain downstairs until you do.DC LinesDC: There’s nothing simpler than avoiding people you don’t like. Avoiding one’s friends - that’s the real test.DC: He just wants what all men want. Isobel: Don’t be ridiculous. DC: I was referring to companionship. As I hope you were.DC: You should write a book: Daughters in Law and How to Survive Them.DC: It’s time he decided whether he’s fish, flesh, fowl, or good red herring.Edith: Aren’t you being quite snobbish?DC: We’re being realistic. Something your generation has such trouble with.DC: Principles are like prayers: noble, of course - but awkward at a party.
