"L'avvocato del diavolo" di Boris Akunin e "La domestica a ore" di Sveva Casati Modignani Un romanzo satirico e sarcastico sulla Russia e sul regime di Putin. Parliamo di "L'avvocato del diavolo" di Boris Akunin (Mondadori - traduz. Erin Beretta, Francesco De Nigris, Mariangela Ferosi) con la prefazione di Paolo Nori, uno dei massimi esperti di letteratura russa in Italia. Boris Akunin è molto famoso in Russia per i suoi gialli storici, ma questo è il primo romanzo che non è stato pubblicato nel suo paese: per aver criticato Putin è stato inserito in una lista di estremisti e terroristi e condannato in contumacia a 14 anni di carcere e dunque da qualche anno vive a Londra. In questo romanzo immagina una Russia dove il capo di Stato ha un ictus e il premier, che è un ex agente dei servizi segreti, indice nuove elezioni convinto di vincere perché pensa di piacere a tutti. In realtà vince il suo avversario, un ex prigioniero politico, che crea una Repubblica parlamentare dove la priorità sono i diritti umani. In questo clima democratico, si celebra il processo all'ex braccio destro del capo di Stato, che fra l'altro aveva orchestrato l'invasione dell'Ucraina. Come difensore quest'uomo chiede di avere uno scrittore dissidente. Un totale ribaltamento dei piani in cui lo scrittore si trova a difendere chi lo aveva perseguitato. Un romanzo che può essere considerato una critica feroce al regime di Putin, ma anche una critica a tutti i regimi. Nella seconda parte parliamo di Sveva Casati Modignani, una delle scrittrici italiane più amate da lettrici e lettori: oltre 12 milioni di copie vendute con i suoi romanzi scritti a partire dal 1981. Nel nuovo romanzo si intitola "La Domestica a ore" (Sperling & Kupfer) si parla di violenza nei confronti delle donne. La protagonista è una giovane donna, Isabella, anche se in realtà il suo nome completo è altisonante: Isabella Boccadoro d'Este, contessa. Nonostante sia molto ricca, nasconde la sua vera identità e fa la domestica a ore, in particolar modo fa la guardarobiera nella famiglia Tizzoni. Le ragioni che l'hanno portatat a fare questa scelta si scoprono nel romanzo, ma quello che possiamo dire è che con questo lavoro manuale Isabella riesce a mettere ordine dentro sè stessa. Un giorno dovrà soccorrere la signora Tizzoni che è stata violentemente picchiata dal marito.

Danmark har fået en ny organisation, der kæmper for lavere skat – Skattebetalerne. Organisationen er ledet af en mand, som i næsten 20 år har været en af landets mest markante liberale stemmer som direktør for tænketanken Cepos, nemlig Martin Ågerup. Men hvorfor en ny organisation – og hvad er egentlig forskellen på Skattebetalerne og Cepos? I denne første udgave af Finans' nye podcast Tænketanken med J spørger vært Joachim Sperling, hvor realistisk det er at få lavere skat og en mere effektiv offentlig sektor – og hvem der i sidste ende skal betale.

Lorenza Stroppa"La cassetta delle lettere per i cari estinti"Mondadori Editorehttps://www.mondadori.it/libri/la-cassetta-delle-lettere-per-i-cari-estinti-lorenza-stroppa/Arturo aiuta a venire al mondo quel che ha bisogno di nascere. Sa intuire l'invisibile, dare compimento alle potenzialità. Lo fa nella scuola in cui insegna storia dell'arte, perché non perde mai la curiosità nei confronti dei ragazzi e sa vedere oltre l'armatura di disinteresse e sbruffonaggine con cui si difendono dal mondo. E lo fa nella vita privata: uno scolapiatti, visto dalla giusta prospettiva, può sostituire il soffione della doccia rotta, un phon può essere convertito, con un mix di scienza ed estro, in un fabbricanuvole. E quando proprio il malumore non gli dà pace, niente di meglio che una passeggiata meditativa nella campagna attorno a Pordenone insieme al fedele cane Napoleone. Ma se è vero che niente si distrugge e tutto si trasforma, cosa fare del dolore più paralizzante che esista, quello del lutto? Arturo si è inventato una Cassetta delle lettere per i cari estinti. Uno scrigno a cui affidare le parole che non siamo riusciti a rivolgere alle persone che amiamo e non ci sono più. Secondo le regole che lui stesso ha stabilito dovrebbe svuotare la Cassetta senza aprire le lettere, ma scopre che immergersi nella sofferenza altrui lo aiuta, e così le legge una a una, e il dolore altrui scioglie poco a poco il suo. La vita di Arturo procede tutto sommato serena finché non viene sconvolta dal succedersi di tre eventi sorprendenti: la scomparsa di un anziano del posto, Gustavo, morto in circostanze misteriose, l'apparizione nella Cassetta di una insolita lettera scritta dalla figlia di Gustavo, e l'improvviso cambiamento nella condotta in classe di uno dei suoi allievi più impegnativi, che sembra passare un momento davvero complicato. Con il tempo, tanta pazienza e lo zampino di Napoleone, Arturo inizia a intravedere la sottile linea che unisce i tre avvenimenti. E intuisce che forse la soluzione di tutto potrebbe arrivare grazie alla Cassetta delle lettere per i cari estinti. Un protagonista indimenticabile, un romanzo lieve anche di fronte a temi importanti, soffuso di dolcezza ironica e poesia dei sentimenti.Lorenza Stroppa è nata nel 1974 a Pordenone, dove vive. Ha scritto su quotidiani e riviste e, in qualità di ufficio stampa e di organizzatrice eventi, ha collaborato con enti e associazioni del Triveneto.

Massimo Ormea"La voce segreta delle foglie del destino"Sperling & Kupferhttps://www.sperling.it/libri/la-voce-segreta-delle-foglie-del-destino-massimo-ormeaIn India esiste una misteriosa e millenaria tradizione: le Nadi Sastra, le leggendarie Foglie del Destino. Secondo un antico racconto, grandi saggi veggenti trascrissero su foglie di palma i destini di milioni di persone. Ma questo libro non è una guida per chi deve partire per l'India. È una chiamata per chi è pronto a iniziare un viaggio interiore. Con un linguaggio diretto, profondo e accessibile, Massimo Ormea - l'unico in Italia a conoscere a fondo questo percorso - intreccia la sua esperienza personale con riflessioni universali su karma, libero arbitrio, sofferenza e consapevolezza. Attraverso storie vere, simboli, e un sapere antico ma sorprendentemente attuale, ci invita a rileggere gli schemi che si ripetono nella nostra vita, le ferite mai guarite, gli incontri che sembrano «scritti»... per scoprire che nulla è davvero predestinato, ma tutto può diventare occasione di trasformazione. In questo libro puoi trovare una guida preziosa: il modo in cui rispondere a ciò che ti accade. Perché il karma non è una condanna, ma un'opportunità. Un libro che non pretende di dare risposte, ma che insegna a farsi le domande giuste. E a riconoscere, tra i nodi invisibili del destino, la via verso sé stessi.Massimo Ormea nasce a Sanremo e a diciannove anni si trasferisce a Milano dove lavora come creative director. Dopo una lunga ricerca, alla fine degli anni Novanta si avvicina alla spiritualità indiana grazie a Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, fondatore della ONG The Art of Living. Ma è nel 2006, in un piccolo villaggio nel sud dell'India, che Ormea scopre le Foglie del Destino. Qui conosce «alcuni individui, tutti tatuati» che, leggendo dei singolari listelli di foglie di palma, gli raccontano il suo passato e il suo futuro, guidandolo verso una svolta decisiva della sua vita. Da anni Ormea si dedica ad accompagnare le persone alla scoperta dell'antico sapere dell'India e in particolare nella ricerca della loro Foglia del Destino. www.lefogliedeldestino.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
In this episode, Alexi is joined by writer, editor, and dear friend Olivia Kan-Sperling to discuss the aesthetic universe of her brand new novel, Little Pink Book, a lyrical and decadent romantic tragedy set in Shanghai. In unpacking her wide range of influences, we explore shabby chic Orientalism, avant garde florists, Chinese romantasy web novels, baroque bespoke beverages, the emerging field of Wasian studies, the triggering qualities of Clairo's “Pretty Girl” music video, the possibility of Labubu as a literary format, and much more.

In this episode ,I chat with Jason Sperling, director of the sci-fi short film Crash Site, which has garnered over 600,000 views on YouTube and sparked conversations about first contact, and curiosity Jason shares the film's origin story, including his early connection with The Walking Dead's Steven Yeun, and how that relationship helped shape the creative journey behind Crash Site. With a sharp script and visual effects that enhance rather than overwhelm, Crash Site explores the moment we might meet something — or someone — beyond ourselves. But the real story is about us: our need to know, to reach out, and maybe, as Jason candidly reflects, our assumption that we'll be answered. Is it hubris to believe we're the center of the universe? Or is it simply human? We also dive into themes of curiosity and exploration — core elements of this podcast's mission to explore humanity. Why do some of us feel compelled to ask questions, to push boundaries, to make contact? And what does that say about who we are?

Possiamo davvero dire che le relazioni fanno bene al cervello? Le neuroscienze ci dicono di sì: ogni volta che ci abbracciamo, ci ascoltiamo davvero, ridiamo insieme o semplicemente stiamo bene con qualcuno, il nostro cervello risponde positivamente e questo crea benessere. Ne parliamo a Obiettivo Salute in tavola con la prof.ssa Michela Balconi, Ordinario di Neuroscienze Cognitive e Neuropsicologia presso la Facoltà di Psicologia dell'Università Cattolica autrice di Neuroscienze del benessere (Carocci).Dalle connessioni umane ai legami invisibili. Con il prof. Lorenzo Morelli, Direttore DISTAS, Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie alimentari per una filiera agro-alimentare Sostenibile, dell'Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore Piacenza Cremona, ci spostiamo nel nostro intestino, dove milioni di batteri comunicano tra loro e con il nostro cervello.A proposito di relazioni, parliamo di quelle che ci legano ai nostri bambini con la dottoressa Roberta Tessaro, Psicologa dell'Età Evolutiva e autrice di Il filo rosso delle emozioni. Comprendere e abbracciare ciò che genitori e figli sentono (Sperling).Mantenere legami e scambi con gli altri può aiutare a tenere in forma il nostro cervello, soprattutto con il passare degli anni. Quando la memoria inizia a svanire, cosa resta nella relazione? Come si comunica, quando non ci si riconosce più? Ne parliamo proprio oggi in occasione della Giornata Mondiale dell'Alzheimer con il dottor Renzo Rozzini, direttore del dipartimento geriatrico dell’istituto ospedaliero Fondazione Poliambulanza di Brescia e autore di “Il canone della longevità. Aver cura dell’età avanzata" (Scholé).
What happens when we get breathwork wrong — and how can we use it wisely for health and balance?In Part 2, Patrick and Hannah dig deeper into the nuances of breath practice, from hyperventilation methods to breath holds, and the role of carbon dioxide in nervous system regulation.

JB White opens this episode with technical hiccups and football talk before shifting to the heart of the matter: the national mood after Charlie Kirk's assassination. He reads Marine veteran Robert M. Sperling's viral rant, which captures how ordinary Americans, previously apolitical, have been radicalized by witnessing brutal crimes and the disturbing celebrations that followed. JB expands on Sperling's warning to Democrats, arguing that their failure to police their ranks has awakened a sleeping giant. He connects America's crisis to Europe's abandonment of its Judeo-Christian roots, warns against soulless ideology masquerading as justice, and calls for men of faith and courage to stand guard in schools and society. With sharp words for those who equated Kirk to Hitler, reflections on Trump's role, and a closing gospel song reminding listeners that “God is good,” the episode blends outrage, faith, and resilience into a defiant call for renewal.
What if the way you're breathing is the very thing holding you back?In this first half of our conversation with world-renowned breathing expert Patrick McKeown, we dive into the surprising science of functional breathing and its impact on health, focus, and yoga. Patrick shares his personal journey with asthma and poor sleep, and how discovering the Buteyko method changed his life.You'll learn why “taking a deep breath” isn't always the best advice, and how subtle changes in the way you breathe can influence everything from your concentration to your recovery.We explore:Patrick's story of transforming his asthma and sleep through breathingWhy nasal breathing matters so much more than you thinkThe myth of “bigger breaths = more oxygen” and what science really showsThe lost history of yoga breathing, and why subtlety is the keyHow small adjustments in practice can boost blood flow, calm the mind, and improve performanceAbout PatrickTo date, Patrick has worked with some of the top athletes in the world across a variety of sports including tennis, cycling, weight lifting, American Football, MMA and track and field.

Maria Antonietta Calabrò"Il trono e l'altare"Guerra in Vaticano: una storia ineditaEdizioni Cantagalliwww.edizionicantagalli.comI colori del libro, Bagno VignoniSabato 13 settembre, ore 16.30Maria Antonietta Calabrò "Il trono e l'altare"www.toscanalibri.itSono sufficienti vent'anni per comprendere le dinamiche profonde di organizzazioni complesse come la Chiesa cattolica? Questo libro è una ricerca tra cronaca e storia basata su una mole notevole di documenti, fonti aperte e accesso a testimoni diretti. Un'indagine sulla transizione vaticana e sui poteri che hanno tentato di impedirla, accomunando i due pontificati di Benedetto e di Francesco. Le lotte senza esclusione di colpi, gli intrighi, i gattopardi, il peso del denaro, anche quello sporco, hanno quasi bloccato la sala macchine della Barca di Pietro. Negli ultimi due decenni l'influenza globale del Vaticano è spesso entrata in rotta di collisione con gli interessi di altri Stati (dagli USA alla Cina, dalla Russia all'Unione Europea, all'Italia). Uno scontro che è passato anche attraverso veri e propri episodi di spionaggio ai danni della Santa Sede e da tentativi di influenzare il governo della Chiesa. Quanto è accaduto in Vaticano negli ultimi anni, soprattutto gli scandali finanziari, non è frutto del caso ma di una manovra messa a punto per influenzare e indirizzare l'attività della Chiesa cattolica, anche nel nuovo pontificato di Leone XIV.Maria Antonietta CalabròSul Corriere della Sera ha scritto migliaia di articoli su politica interna, riforme istituzionali, attualità, sicurezza, Vaticano. Premio Saint Vincent 2001. Ha pubblicato: "In prima linea" (Sperling & Kupfer, 1993) sulla stagione di Mani Pulite e dell'Antimafia; “Le Mani della Mafia” (Chiarelettere, 2014) sulla bancarotta dell'Ambrosiano, l'omicidio di Calvi e lo Ior; “I segreti del Vaticano”, sul primo Vatileaks (Corriere della Sera, 2012); “Moro, il caso non è chiuso” (Lindau, 2018). “Il Trono e l'Altare - Guerra in Vaticano una storia inedita” ( Edizioni Cantagalli, 2024).

“More technology, more life science and healthcare:” Scott Sperling believes these are what will fuel the future. He also sees opportunities in logistics and thinks more businesses will “fundamentally tweak” their models with technology to become more efficient and prosperous. On the Fed, he says the best option is a 25 basis point rate cut in September. He also brings the case that the Fed is losing control over the 10-year.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with Janet Sperling, PhD, President of the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation (CanLyme) and an accomplished entomologist whose research focuses on the bacterial microbiome of ticks across Canada. Janet's journey with Lyme disease began when her teenage son was bitten by a tick during a family trip to California. His symptoms, starting with sinusitis and progressing to more severe illness, led to a long and frustrating medical journey involving multiple doctors, misdiagnoses, and eventually a clinical Lyme diagnosis supported by IGeneX testing. Janet shares her personal experience as a mother navigating the complexities of Lyme disease, as well as her professional expertise studying common tick species in Canada. Her research investigates the bacterial communities within these ticks, the role of bird migration in tick population spread, and the limitations of current microbiome analysis techniques. Key Discussion Points: Janet's son's Lyme disease story and the challenges of getting a diagnosis Differences in tick species and their bacterial microbiomes How environmental factors like bird migration contribute to the spread of tick-borne diseases The importance of prevention and early intervention in tick bite cases Why understanding tick biology is essential for public health policy in Canada How CanLyme is advancing Lyme disease research Lyme Disease Prevention Tips from Janet Sperling: Avoid tick bites by using protective clothing and repellents Perform thorough tick checks after outdoor activities Identify the tick species and feeding stage if bitten Consider tick testing when appropriate Whether you're a Lyme patient, caregiver, or simply interested in the science behind ticks, this episode offers a unique blend of personal narrative and cutting-edge entomology research.

But this "overnight success" began in 2013 when Sperling and writer Miles Brandman launched a Kickstarter campaign that raised $13,000 to shoot their sci-fi story. What followed was a winding journey through post-production challenges, life interruptions, and eventually a pandemic delay before the finished film reached audiences.This remarkable timeline speaks to Sperling's central philosophy about creative work: "No one ever fails in Hollywood. They just give up." His persistence paid off spectacularly, revealing how independent filmmakers can thrive by focusing on story fundamentals rather than massive budgets. The film demonstrates Sperling's core belief that visual effects should serve narrative rather than dominate it – even as he navigates the industry's complex relationship with advancing technology.Sperling provides fascinating insights into how he secured his high-profile cast (a friendship with Yeun from The Walking Dead led to Richardson joining before his breakout success), the challenges of indie production, and the future of filmmaking in an AI-influenced landscape. While acknowledging genuine concerns about technological disruption, he sees opportunity in democratized tools that allow creators to "zig when others zag."For anyone pursuing creative work against seemingly impossible odds, Sperling's journey offers both practical wisdom and philosophical encouragement. As he puts it: "Human beings creating art are being the most human they can be." His story reminds us that Hollywood isn't dead – it's evolving – and determined storytellers still find ways to break through when they refuse to give up on their vision.Support the show

Hen over sommerferien vikarierer Rune Lykkeberg for Anna von Sperling på Radio Information. I dagens afsnit taler han med Matthias Dressler-Bredsdorff om hans nye bog 'Efter faldet' --- En dag i september dør Matthias' far i en faldulykke. Blandt hans efterladenskaber findes et manuskript, der opruller en fortiet familiehistorie om nazisme, modstand og borgerlig dekadence. Da onkler og tanter dukker op fra øst og vest for at deltage i bisættelsen, hvirvles fortiden op og spørgsmålet melder sig: Hvem var faren egentlig? Efter faldet er en fortælling om drømme og sammenbrud og en personlig beretning om at miste. Bogen er Matthias Dressler-Bredsdorffs debut som forfatter, og i denne sommertale med Rune Lykkeberg, som er optaget foran et livepublikum i Informations kantine, taler han om den bog, han har skrevet, og om den bog, han egentlig ville have skrevet. Matthias Dressler-Bredsdorff (f. 1988) er skribent ved Dagbladet Information. Han har tidligere været tilknyttet Sorbonne Université som lektor i dansk.

Hen over sommerferien vikarierer Rune Lykkeberg for Anna von Sperling på Radio Information. I dagens afsnit holder han kritikersalon med Lone Nikolajsen, Bodil Skovgaard Nielsen og Matthias Dressler-Bredsdorff. Sammen har de set tre aktuelle tv-serier, der alle handler om penge og klasse --- Hvad skal man egentlig se i tv? Udbuddet bliver stadigt større, og ingen synes rigtigt at have overblikket længere. Det har vi heller ikke på Information. Men i anledning af sommeren har Rune Lykkeberg inviteret tre af avisens skarpeste kritikere i studiet for at filmsludre om tre tv-serier, der alle har det til fælles, at de handler om penge og klasse. I 'Information ser fjernsyn', som vi kalder dette sommerlige formeksperiment, kaster Rune Lykkeberg og et panel bestående af Lone Nikolajsen, Bodil Skovgaard Nielsen og Matthias Dressler-Bredsdorff sig over følgende tre serier: Reservatet (Netflix), skrevet af Ingeborg Topsøe og instrueret af Per Fly.

I sommerferien vikarierer Rune Lykkeberg for Anna von Sperling på Radio Information. For niende år i træk mødes han med sin mentor og ven Bo Lidegaard i det vestsjællandske i denne udgave af det, vi har valgt at kalde 'Sommersamtaler'. Her gennemgår de blandt andet, hvordan vi lige nu gennemlever en udvikling, vi aldrig har se mage til i vores levetid, og hvordan verden er ved at forandre sig fundamentalt i kølvandet på Trumps anden præsidentperiode, Kinas voksende magt og krigen i Ukraine. Samtidig er vi er midt i en overgang fra 80 års markedsøkonomi til en moderne udgave af en krigsøkonomi, og forskellen på de to er fundamental. Nu er det ikke længere samhandel med resten af verden, men evnen til at opkøbe og producere krigsmateriel, der bliver afgørende for vores fremtid. Undervejs i samtalen kalder Bo Lidegaard det desuden et 'historisk svigt', at vi har overladt den offentlige samtale til amerikanskejede sociale platforme. Den udvikling mener han nemlig er en større trussel mod vores demokrati, end Rusland er. Hør hvorfor i denne udgave af sommersamtaler.

Hen over sommeren vikarierer Rune Lykkeberg for Anna von Sperling på Radio Information. I dagens afsnit taler han med to af redaktørerne bag en ny bog, der bringer ti personlige vidnesbyrd om, hvad det vil sige at være palæstinenser i Danmark --- Hvad vil det sige at være palæstinenser i Danmark? Det seneste års offentlige debat har vist, at det har været svært for vores statsminister og mange andre at anerkende, at de palæstinensere, der er i Danmark, er danskere ligesom alle andre og skal omfattes med samme solidaritet og minimum af sympati. Man kan begræde, at det ikke falder naturligt, men det nytter ikke noget. Det, der nytter, er at dele historier og livsfortællinger med hinanden. Tidligere på året udkom en vigtig bog med titlen Palæstinenseren. Den består af ti personlige vidnesbyrd om, hvad det vil sige at være palæstinenser i Danmark. Hvordan dén identitet både kan være en byrde og en kilde til stolthed. Og hvilke store historier, der gemmer sig i den – men også hvilke krav og forventninger, som følger med. I denne uges sommersamtale taler Rune Lykkeberg med to af redaktører bag bogen om deres erfaringer som dansk-palæstinensere. Gæsterne er: Journalist Layal Freije, der bl.a. er radiovært på programmet Gaza FM på Radio IIII og skriver om Mellemøsten for Information. Hendes bedsteforældre kommer fra Al-Khalisa. Og jurist Tarek Ziad Hussein, der er direktør for Dansk Flygtningehjælp Ungdom (DFUNK) og bl.a. forfatter til bogen Det sorte skæg. Tareks familie stammer fra Sha'ab på farens side og Sheikh Danun på morens side. Palæstinenseren - Personlige refleksioner over arven fra Palæstina udkom på Gads Forlag tidligere i år og kan købes i enhver boghandler.
Is your child a picky eater, or is it something more serious — and how can you tell? Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) goes far beyond food preferences. It's driven by deep-seated fears of choking, vomiting, or other anxieties that can lead to dangerous nutritional deficiencies. In this episode, Gabe Howard sits down with ADAA member expert Dr. Jacqueline Sperling, a clinical psychologist and Harvard Medical School professor, to break down the signs of ARFID, outline how it differs from typical picky eating, and mention when parents should seek professional help. Learn how to spot the red flags, understand the role of anxiety in food avoidance, and discover ways to support kids managing this lesser known eating disorder. If mealtimes are a battle in your home, this episode is a must-listen! Special thanks to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America for sponsoring this episode. “They could have different obsessions of what might happen should they eat any of those foods. Some could have a fear that there's contamination. Some can have a fear that it's cooked all the way. Some can have a concern that something separate from the food, but a negative consequence may happen if they eat those foods. It can also happen that someone is worried about having IBS symptoms in public, so they don't want to eat certain foods. And so they limit the foods that they eat, or even when they're at home because they're worried about when they go out in public afterward.” ~Jacqueline Sperling, PhD Our guest, Jacqueline Sperling, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, assistant professor in psychology at Harvard Medical School, and the co-founder and co-program director of the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program at McLean Hospital. She is the author of the young adult nonfiction book “Find Your Fierce: How to Put Social Anxiety in Its Place” and a contributor for Harvard Health Publishing. Dr. Sperling specializes in implementing cognitive behavioral therapy with exposure and response prevention and working with youth with anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder. She also focuses on caregiver guidance, such as by using behavioral parent training, to help families address children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors. In addition, Dr. Sperling is passionate about disseminating evidence-based information to the community, and she frequently speaks about the impact of social media use on mental health. Moreover, Dr. Sperling is committed to increasing access to care and participates in advocacy at state and federal government levels. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

What makes old Malbec vines planted in the 1920s so rare and valuable today? Why would a Canadian winemaker head to Mendoza, Argentina, to start a winery? What's one of the biggest challenges holding back Canadian wine and how can consumers change that? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Ann Sperling & Peter Gamble. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks Highlights What makes Devotion different from other On Seven wines? What inspired Peter to look beyond Canada to Argentina for winemaking? How did he decide on the particular vineyard to purchase? What is massal selection in viticulture? How did Versado end up with such old vines, and how does this show up in the wine? Are there aspects of Malbec that are similar to Pinot? How have Ann and Peter revitalized the Leily Winery? What are the differences and similarities between Leily and On Seven Chardonnays? What would Ann and Peter like their legacies to be in the Canadian wine industry? What are the greatest threats to the Canadian wine industry? Which three figures in the wine industry would Peter invite to a dream dinner party? Key Takeaways In the 1905 to 1925 period in Argentina, winemakers at the time planted the greatest genetic diversity amongst the Malbec vines, because they were still learning about it. Their Versado vineyard reflects that time when genetic diversity was appreciated. We visited a lot of wine regions in the world for the meetings, both fun and a necessity, and one of them was Mendoza and loved the climate - a really interesting climate from the point of view of creating flavors and grapes, and really liked the lifestyle as well. We essentially decided it'd be interesting to do something small there that also gives us a second harvest during New Year's. So we can practice twice as often. That was the driver, the potential quality there. They've been talking about this for probably the 40 years that they've been making wine and and they want to figure out how to have lasting consumer engagement. They have a lot of devoted buyers, but they also know kind of the monopoly culture is that, well, if the wine you were looking for today isn't on the shelf, you can buy something else. Promoting the message of buying directly from the wineries, and if you want to try that wine that's made in Nova Scotia or BC, that you actually can order it and have it shipped to your home province. Those interprovincial trade barriers aren't real. There's lots of wine shipping that's taking place already. Just get on your computer like you do with so many other products that you buy and buy online. About Ann Sperling & Peter Gamble Often referred to as the “power couple” of the Canadian wine industry, Peter Gamble and Ann Sperling have long pursued the pinnacles of wine quality in Canadian vineyards and wineries. Following her upbringing on her family's Okanagan Valley vineyard, Ann turned to the soil for the character and complexity of her wines. Acknowledged as a Canadian pioneer of organic and biodynamic viticulture, ‘terroir' was at the centre of her philosophy and she is renowned for her head winemaking roles at Malivoire, Southbrook, and Sperling Vineyards. Peter, a lifetime wine industry professional, has worked alongside Canada's most passionate winemakers to achieve greater heights with our finest appellation wines. Since 2000, Peter has provided expertise in ultra-premium winemaking operations, including: Stratus, Ravine, Benjamin Bridge and Lightfoot & Wolfville. With the purchase of a top-flight ancient Malbec planting in Mendoza, Argentina, in 2008, Ann and Peter broadened their winemaking activities, but Niagara remains their cherished home base. Current focus is on these Niagara projects: On Seven, Lailey and Stonebridge Vineyards and Dobbin Estate. To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/343.

What were the key challenges and breakthroughs that shaped the BC and Ontario wine industries in the 1980s and 90s? What makes or breaks a new wine project, and why is finding the right vineyard often the most time-consuming step? What made Peter believe that Niagara-on-the-Lake could produce exceptional Chardonnay? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Ann Sperling & Peter Gamble. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks Highlights What was Ann's best memory from growing up on the farm? When did Ann and Peter know that they wanted to work in the wine industry? How did Ann and Peter meet? What was the first bottle of wine Ann and Peter shared? How do Ann and Peter navigate their interwoven personal and professional lives? How do they negotiate professional disagreements, and who chooses the wine for dinner? What were the major challenges and opportunities in the BC and Ontario wine industry in the 1980s and 90s? In the early days, how did Peter envision the future of Ontario wines? What are some of the reasons certain vintages almost didn't make it into the bottle? What do you look for when considering a new project? What makes Ann and Peter different from the stereotypical flying winemakers? What were the signs that Niagara-on-the-Lake could produce exceptional Chardonnay? How has working on a small, focused vineyard impacted Ann and Peter's winemaking choices? Why must you suffer to make top-notch wines? Key Takeaways It was in the early 80s in BC and maybe slightly before that in Ontario, that estate wineries became a thing. Prior to that, that meant there were a few really large wineries, not really making estate or single vineyards. Vineyards were a source of bulk wine for the most part. The hunt for the vineyard became a very important one. We looked at over 230 vineyards before we found one. I think everyone there was on the verge of giving up on this, thinking “Well, they're not really going to buy anything.” Because we'd get it to a certain stage, then we do soil analysis, and we weren't quite happy, or we talked to people who had made wine from the vineyard or something would come up, and we just wouldn't quite be where we wanted to be with the quality of the vineyard. I often work on the basis of paradigms, where I'll take a look at a wine sold throughout the world and say, you know, I think this could be done really well in this area. You know what it is you might be able to accomplish within the parameters that you have - the obvious things, the terroir, the exposures to soils, the temperatures in general.
