Hundreds of thousands of Americans are on strike, in industries from automotive to entertainment. But the history of strikes in America goes back much further than most people realize. And there's a logical reason for why strikes are successful, popular, and on the rise, even though the number of unions in the United States has decreased by almost 300%. Join me and Jihi as we walk through one of the most contentious issues facing America today and what it means for the future of your career, your family, and our economy.

Recent international summits from the G20 meeting to the UN General Assembly have shown an increasing divide between East and West. European allies to the US have changed their positions on the Ukraine War, prioritized trade with China and Russia, and are refocusing their efforts on their own domestic issues.

This is not your average 9/11 conversation. Is it respectful - yes. Does it honor the lives lost that sad day - yes. But it is also an honest, open dialogue about the world before and after everything changed. It's full of laughter, love, and more than a few flirtatious exchanges because the 9/11 tragedy is what brought the two of us together. In many ways, it was the place where our love story started.

[REBROADCAST FROM May 2, 2022] For our second installment of Get Little, we speak with author Stuart Gibbs, who you may know from his best-selling books, FunJungle, Spy School, Moon Base Alpha, Charlie Thorne and more. We tackle how he got his start writing for kids, his upcoming projects (hint, he's got a lot), and why he knows so much about capybaras.

We the people of the United States… need to get serious about whether we want to keep the fools we have in congress! The statistics don't lie – our leadership in the US is older than it's ever been, blocking the path for tomorrow's leaders and keeping new, fresh ideas out of a government that has been deadlocked in partisan politics for over a decade. It is human nature to avoid what CIA calls ‘Hard Conversations', but the time has come to have a hard conversation right now. And Jihi and I are willing to start it as long as you are willing to listen.

So he's thrilled when he's recruited to the C.I.A.'s top secret Academy of Espionage. Only, it turns out, Ben hasn't been brought in because the C.I.A. expects him to succeed.

Stuart Gibbs is a man who loves his audience and his audience loves him. He has written six series of books for kids and all them offer a glimpse into the glee that Stuart Gibbs takes in the stories he tells. Whether it's blowing up whales, going to a secretly run CIA training school for kids or a knight who never meant to become one, Stuart Gibbs takes real pleasure in entertaining his readers. One of his newest passions is turning his best selling work into graphic novels. His first series being turned into a paneled masterpiece is the Spy School series. His collaboration with illustrating Anjan Sarkar took a surprising turn. Our bookstore this week is Read Herring (soon to be New South Books) in Montgomery Alabama.

[REBROADCAST FROM May 2, 2022] For our second installment of Get Little, we speak with author Stuart Gibbs, who you may know from his best-selling books, FunJungle, Spy School, Moon Base Alpha, Charlie Thorne and more. We tackle how he got his start writing for kids, his upcoming projects (hint, he's got a lot), and why he knows so much about capybaras.

Is there really a secret school in Washington, DC to train kids to become spies? We ask the experts in this episode: kids from Key Elementary in our nation's capital, writer Stuart Gibbs, and the man whose job description includes overseeing the activities and budget of the CIA, Congressman Eric Swalwell. Our celebrity reader is jounalist Claudia Peschuitta. Kitty Felde is host.

Stuart Gibbs is this week's guest and begins what we intend to be a periodic look at children's' literature, or in the parlance of the day, “kids' books”. Stuart has five different series of kids's books in print - all successful, each aimed at the middle grades. His latest Spy School book is just out. Kate and I (grown-up who like to believe) loved it, as did our 12-year-old grandson and nephew, Lang (but then Stuart is his favorite author). To be a successful author of kids' books we believe you have to be a good writer as well as a bit of a kid yourself. Stuart checks both boxes.

First Draft Episode #217: Stuart Gibbs Stuart Gibbs, New York Times bestselling author of the Spy School series, the FunJungle series, the Moon Base Alpha series, and The Last Musketeer series. His newest series kicked off in 2019 with Charlie Thorne and the Last Equation. The newest FunJungle book, Tyrannosaurus Wrecks, is out March 24, and Spy School Revolution will come out in fall 2020. Links and Topics Mentioned In This Episode The life path of MIchael Crichton, who studied to become a doctor, was an influence on Stuart in college. After two days into pre-med, though, he decided to focus on biology. The capybara is the world’s largest rodent Jennifer Joel is now Co-Head of the Publishing Department at ICM Jean Claude Van Damme is a Belgian artist and martial artist who made many action films, like Bloodsport (definitely listen to the How Did This Get Made episode - one of the best HDTGM ever), Street Fighter (omg this How Did This Get Made episode - What is a Street Figher?! iconic), Timecop (listen to the How Did This Get Made episode), and The Quest (listen to that How Did This Get Made episode) Stuart co-wrote the movie See Spot Run with Craig Titley (who wrote the film adaptation of Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, the film adaptation of The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan) Lucy Ruth Cummins, writer and illustrator, and executive art director of picture books, middle grade books, and young adult novels for Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, and Paula Wiseman books, is responsible for many of Stuart’s incredible covers, including the FunJungle covers Stuart explains that Quentin Tarantino, writer and director of films like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, is given the freedom to wander and explore in his movies, but most screenwriters aren’t. Daniel Ehrenhaft, author of The Last Dog on Earth, 10 Things to Do Before I Die, and more, Vice President and Editorial Director at Soho Teen, and guitarist in Tiger Beat, recruited Stuart to write The Last Musketeer series. Moonraker was the first James Bond movie that Stuart ever saw. It changed his world! The story Stuart wrote as a kid about Jimmy Bond, James Bond’s son, was called The Kid with the Golden Water Pistol, a riff on The Man With the Golden Gun The Mission Impossible films have taken over for James Bond, in a way Stuart wrote Space Case and the Moon Base Alpha series with the help of his good friend, astronaut Garrett Reisman Stuart had the instinct that he couldn’t write a book set on Mars, because it would need to have such a scientific basis. His instinct was right because shortly after, Andy Weir published The Martian (listen to Andy Weir’s episode of First Draft here)   I want to hear from you!
