Podcast appearances and mentions of Stacey May Fowles

My guest on this episode is Jen Sookfong Lee. Jen is the author of three acclaimed novels, four works for children, a collection of poetry, and two works of non-fiction, including Gentlemen Of The Shade, about the movie My Own Private Idaho, and her most recent book, Superfan: How Pop Culture Broke my Heart, which was published by McClelland and Stewart in 2023. Jen is also works as an acquiring editor for ECW Press, and is the co-editor, with Stacey May Fowles, of two essay anthologies, Whatever Gets You Through and Good Mom on Paper. Superfan is finalist for the 2024 Forest of Reading Evergreen Book Award, was named a Best Book of 2023 by the Globe and Mail and Apple Books Canada, and was a TODAY Show Recommended Read. The Toronto Star called Superfan “heady, thought-provoking, and emotionally fraught stuff, and a singular reading experience.” Jen and I talk about how she had never intended Superfan to be a personal memoir, how the relative failure of her second novel almost made her stop writing altogether, why you should never wear faux leather pants while appearing on TV, and why she is still just a little bit disappointed to have never been crowned Miss Chinese Vancouver.   Jen Sookfong Lee: sookfong.com Music: "simple-hearted thing" by Alex Lukashevsky.

I'm joined by two incredibly talented and funny writers, editors, novelists, mothers (in no particular order) - Jen sookfong Lee (also a celebrated poet) and Stacey May Fowles (also an award-winning sports journalist).After their first collaboration on Whatever Gets You Through: Twelve Survivors on Life After Sexual Assault, they joined forces again in 2020 to work on another anthology.

This episode we are talking about the book ‘Will Big League Baseball Survive: Globalization, the End of Television, Youth Sports, and the Future of Major League Baseball’ by Lincoln A. Mitchell, a fascinating 2016 book which examines the extent to which MLB can continue to thrive in its current form, and analyses some of the key factors likely to threaten the future health of the sport. We were fortunate to speak to the author, Lincoln Mitchell, about the book, and we chatted about the book’s main theses, and also (topically) about the likely longer-term impact of the coronavirus on baseball. As mentioned at the end of the episode, we will be giving away a couple of copies of the excellent 'Baseball Life Advice' by Stacey May Fowles.

In her remarkable 2017 book, Stacey May Fowles shows us how we can use the lens of baseball to examine who we are. The book has been described as a passionate ode to baseball, its culture, and its community, which both celebrates and challenges the game – and reminds us why it really matters. We were delighted to be joined by Stacey and in the first part of the episode we chatted about her writing process and some of the book's main themes, before being joined by Paddy Johnston from the ‘Big Boys Don’t Cry’, and ‘Big Boys Don’t Bunt’ podcasts, for the round-table part of the show.

We're still talking about sexual assault because it's still happening. And although the #MeToo movement has motivated us to have important conversations about sexual violence and trauma, we hardly ever talk about the aftermath of sexual assault. How do survivors navigate their lives post-trauma? What helps them "heal" and "move on"? These questions are central to Jen Sookfong Lee and Stacey May Fowles' new anthology—Whatever Gets You Through: Twelve Survivors On Life After Sexual Assault—as well as to this week's episode. Tune in to hear writers and survivors Stacey and Jen chat with Mica about what has helped them recover (everything from online make-up tutorials to baseball!), why the language we use to describe sexual assault can be misleading, and what we can all do to make the world a kinder space for survivors.

This week, we're un-fucking sports fandom with journalist and baseball lover Stacey May Fowles, purveyor of the excellent Baseball Life Advice newsletter and eponymous memoir. Fowles, a Blue Jays obsessive, recalls the story of her first formative experience with baseball fandom -- how it was marred by one dude's decision to be a huge creep, and how, 20 years later, things haven't changed much. But things don't have to be so bleak for women sports fans, and Fowles offers three key tips to making baseball stadiums -- or your sporting arena-field of choice -- more welcoming.

You know those banal-sounding cliches you hear baseball players say in interviews with reporters every day? Stacey May Fowles finds a lot of truth in them. She's built a newsletter and written a book about the life lessons she's learned as a baseball fan. After breaking down exactly what's up with the Toronto Blue Jays, Stacey May talks about her career writing about baseball from a fan's perspective. She and Brian talk about how the Blue Jays' recent run of success has changed the fan culture in Toronto, the value of writing on a closed platform like a newsletter, how Jose Bautista would be an awesome life coach, and how being an outsider can help you find your voice as a writer (especially in a closed world like sports). Brian and Stacey May also share their favorite memories of Exhibition Stadium, the best worst stadium in Major League history.

Stacey May Fowles is a Toronto-based award-winning writer. Her recent book, Baseball Life Advice, is a collection of essays that looks at everything from bat flips to the politics of booing and everything in between. Fowles currently writes about books for The Globe and Mail, baseball for Jays Nation and The Athletic, and is author of the popular weekly Baseball Life Advice e-newsletter.
