48 | Using connection to build community with author Shankari Chandran

James and Ashley Stay at Home

How do we build community and a sense of self after loss, especially the kind of loss that echoes for generations? James and Ashley speak with Australian Sri Lankan author Shankari Chandran about her new novel, Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens, and how her efforts to find connection in the writing community echo her Tamil family's work to build community after being dispossessed from their homeland in the Sri Lankan civil war. Shankari discusses writing from a place of anger and love, the changing Australian publishing landscape, and how literature creates an archive of the dispossessed.  This episode connects to our conversations with previous guests Nardi Simpson (ep 18), Luke Stegemann (ep 26), David Heska Wanbli Weiden (ep 40), in which we explore the legacy of mass traumatic events on the health of communities and society. Shankari Chandran was raised in Canberra, Australia. She spent a decade in London, working as a lawyer in the social justice field, before returning to Australia, where she now lives with her husband and children. She is the author of two previous novels, Song of the Sun God, and The Barrier, and has been shortlisted for the Fairway National Literary Award and the Norma K Hemming Award for speculative fiction.  Learn more about Shankari on her website, and buy a copy of Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens from your local bookshop, Booktopia or wherever else books are sold.  Books and authors discussed in this episode: A Brief Marriage by Anuk Arudpragasam; Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell; Song of the Crocodile by Nardi Simpson (from ep 18); Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie; They All Fall Down by Rachel Howzell Hall; David Heska Wanbli Weiden (from ep 40); Soul Mountain by Gao Xingjian translated by Mabel Lee; Amnesia Road by Luke Stegemann (from ep 26) Check out Shankari's essay on writing and resilience published by Writing NSW.

In the main episode, the boys discuss Gao Xingjian's experimental novel Soul Mountain. They work through the unusual narrative techniques (second person?); discuss Taoism, Buddhism, and the book's seeming preference for plurality; and think about the interaction between the book's political context and its incorporation of folk stories and field anthropology.   As a bonus, the second ever episode of Postmodern Food Factory sees the boys diving into the great autumny unknown, trying all four flavors of the Bud Light Seltzer Fall Flannel Pack.

What Are You Afraid of? Horror & Paranormal Podcast

EPISODE 119: GHOSTS OF VIETNAM   Doing the show, authors T. Fox Dunham & Phil Thomas have had the honor and pleasure of speaking to artists from around the world. On episode 119, T. Fox Dunham interviews crime/horror author Elka Ray, resident of Hoi An, Vietnam. Elka comes on the show to talk about her career, share an excerpt from the new crime anthology, A Time for Violence, and tell us about Vietnamese cultural views on the supernatural. Vietnam is mostly a Buddhist country that practices ancestor worship. Elka tells us about the creation of hungry ghosts: angry spirits that are created when a body goes missing or is damaged. And she tells a number of ghost stories from the region including the story of a haunted house in Ho Chi Minh City that required a cleansing after the presence of gaggle of Buddhists awoke a hungry ghost. David Walton narrates a ghost story about a cursed tombstone and an excerpt from Elka’s story, One Hit Wonder. Episode 119 is a fascinating look into the culture of Vietnam and presents the wisdom of a talented female author.   DISCLAIMER: All opinions of guests and content does not reflect the opinions of T.

Mass-market CBD tinctures all use CO2 as the solvent for extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis. However, this method does not extract all the components from the plant. Cannabis has much more to offer, namely, the water-soluble constituents. Unlike CO2, alcohol dissolves both the polar and nonpolar phytochemicals, the aqueous and organic phases. This means you get the full range of phenols, including flavonoids and tannins. You get saponins, phenolic alkaloids, vitamins and more. CO2 does not make a whole-plant extract because it only extracts the oils and resins. What Soul Mountain Herbal CBD offers is more like a whole food. And this raw, organic form is also liposomal to make it more bioavailable and easily absorbed.
