Widow's Bay Editors – Isaac Hagy, ACE; Kyle Reiter, ACE and Jen Bryson The editors of Widow's Bay may not live on a cursed New England island, but after years of working together across shows like Atlanta, Station Eleven and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Isaac Hagy, Kyle Reiter and Jen Bryson have developed the kind of shared creative history that makes them feel right at home in one. Created by Katie Dippold for Apple TV, Widow's Bay stars Matthew Rhys as Tom Loftis, the skeptical mayor of a strange little island town where the locals believe the place is cursed. Tom would very much like to turn Widow's Bay into a thriving tourist destination. Unfortunately, the island has other ideas. The series also stars Kate O'Flynn, Stephen Root, Kingston Rumi Southwick, Kevin Carroll and Dale Dickey. For Isaac, Kyle and Jen, the show was another chance to reunite with longtime collaborator Hiro Murai and post producer Kaitlin Waldron. Isaac's creative relationship with Hiro goes back nearly twenty years, starting with no-budget music videos before eventually leading to Atlanta. Kyle joined that extended creative family through Kaitlin Waldron and Atlanta, while Jen came up through the same post team, beginning as a post PA before eventually moving into the editor's chair. In our interview, the editors talk about how the show was first described to them as something close to "ten episodes of Teddy Perkins," with additional reference points including Jaws, John Carpenter films, Stephen King stories and the specific textures of rural coastal New England. The island itself was designed to feel contemporary, but also strangely out of time — a place without cell phones, without modern comforts, and possibly without a sensible tourism strategy. ISAAC HAGY, ACE Isaac Hagy, ACE is an editor whose work includes the feature films Waves and The Friend, as well as television series such as Atlanta, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Station Eleven, American Vandal, Chef's Table and Sirens. He has received multiple Emmy and ACE nominations for his work, including recognition for Atlanta and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Across his work in television and film, Isaac has helped shape stories that blend tonal precision, visual invention and deeply character-driven editing. KYLE REITER, ACE Kyle Reiter, ACE is an editor whose credits include Atlanta, Barry, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Station Eleven and Black Rabbit. A multiple Emmy nominee, Kyle won an ACE Eddie Award for his work on Atlanta. His editing work spans comedy, drama, surrealism and genre storytelling, often finding the rhythm between deadpan humor, emotional honesty and unexpected tonal shifts. JEN BRYSON Jen Bryson is an editor whose credits include Atlanta, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Sirens. After years of working with the post team connected to Hiro Murai, Kaitlin Waldron, Isaac Hagy and Kyle Reiter, Jen moved from post production assistant work into assistant editing and then into the editor's chair. Her work reflects a sharp eye for performance, character detail and the delicate balance between comedy, tension and emotional truth.   Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs.

This week, Sam is well-rested and well-read, having just returned from all sorts of nature-loving and unplugging from the rest of the world. Which left him ready to really love "Station Eleven," which checks all the boxes — and eager for Emily St. John Mandel's upcoming novel this fall. Similarly, Hannah was enamored by Milo Todd's debut, a WW2 novel that is not your average WW2 novel. "Voidverse"? It's a weird one. "These Heathens"? Way less weird. You're really going to have to listen for the sound effects to interpret how they really hit. This fortnight, we read: "Station Eleven," by Emily St. John Mandel "The Lilac People," by Milo Todd "Voidverse," by Damien Ober "These Heathens," by Mia McKenzie What sound effects did we give each of these books? You'll just have to listen and find out! 

Matt Wilstein sits down with acclaimed actress Danielle Deadwyler for a wide-ranging conversation about her extraordinary run of projects across film and television. From her comedic turn opposite Steve Carell in HBO's Rooster to the emotional weight of Till, Danielle opens up about balancing intense dramatic work with lighter roles, her roots in Atlanta theater, and why “weird” storytelling continues to inspire her. She also reflects on unforgettable experiences working on Atlanta, Watchmen, Station Eleven, The Bear, and the highly anticipated new season of Euphoria. Plus, Danielle teases what drew her to Ryan Coogler's upcoming reboot of The X-Files and reacts to support from Gillian Anderson as fans prepare for a new chapter in the iconic franchise.

Verder zijn ze aangedaan door het vertrek van de Haagse NRC-journalist Lamyae Aharouay vanwege de opkomst van extreemrechts in het Parlement.

Book Club episodes discuss and review one book per episode. This week, it is STATION ELEVEN by Emily St John Mandel, a Theatre Fiction novel about a flu pandemic causing the collapse of America, and the Traveling Symphony that brings Shakespeare plays to the survivors. The interactions of the characters is nothing short of brilliant, and they all seem to be related in some way to former film actor Arthur Leander. "Station Eleven" is a fictitious graphic novel within this world that ties some together.

You can find Eiren Caffal at her website eirencaffall.com or on IG @eirencaffall   We chat this week with Eiren Caffall, a Chicago writer whose memoir, The Mourner's Bestiary, sat on Carrie's shelf staring at her for a year until she finally made time to read it but she is so glad I did. In this creative nonfiction work, Eiren talks about her family's long history with a chronic illness (specifically, polycystic kidney disease (PKD)) and connects that to the health of the waterways and living creatures in Maine. It is a master work that merges scientific writing with poetic language. We also talk about her novel, All the Water in the World, which came out less than six months after The Mourner's Bestiary. It is also about water, but in a fictional dystopian setting where New York City has flooded due to the melting of the ice caps. If you enjoyed Station Eleven, you must give this novel a try.   And for our book recommendation section of the show, we are focusing on Old Dudes!!  Carrie has a soft spot in her heart for curmudgeonly and/ or cuddly elderly men, so we are giving you six ideas of books that feature crotchety (or not) male senior citizens.  We have a memoir, a children's book series, a book translated from Swedish, novels featuring LGBTQ protagonists, and literary fiction.   Books Discussed in this Episode:   1- The Mourner's Bestiary by Eiren Caffal  2- All the Water in the World by Eiren Caffal  3- Howards End by E.M.

The film NOMADLAND portrayed Americans turning to vehicle living as a way to survive increasing economic instability. In this episode, my guests Lauren and Noah share their real-life story of transitioning away from traditional housing, converting an old bus into their home, and traveling across an America that's under strain from multiple systemic pressures. They speak candidly about the many challenges, logistical hurdles, and unexpected moments of beauty and joy they've encountered along the way. We also explore the deeper themes of collapse awareness, community resilience, and how their lived experience overlaps with, or diverges from, what NOMADLAD depicts. Topics we discuss include: The rising unaffordability of housing What it means to be "collapse aware" Community resilience and lessons from surviving the destruction of Hurricane Helene The tensions of ecological values vs. the realities of life on the road All the times they considered quitting The surprising, unexpected joys of simple living How their experiences compare with NOMADLAND Helpful stories vs. unhelpful stories amid transformational change Signals of hope and building parallel structures Plus: a surprise cameo from Indy the cat

When a government experiment goes horribly wrong and unleashes a plague that reshapes humanity itself, what begins as a thriller becomes one of the most powerful modern sagas in speculative fiction. In this spoiler-lite review, Jim dives into Justin Cronin's The Passage Trilogy — a breathtaking mix of vampire apocalypse, dystopian survival, and profound human storytelling.In this episode, you'll hear:

Brooke chats with Dorian Lynskey, cultural journalist and author of the recent book, Everything Must Go: The Stories We Tell About the End of the World, to examine our centuries-long obsession with telling end-of-the-world stories and what they reveal about our shifting fears through history.

Editors - Catherine Haight ACE, Laura Zempel ACE and Isaac Hagy ACE SIRENS editors Cate, Laura and Isaac have crafted a television experience that intrigues and entertains the audience, while also challenging them on conventional gender biases. Their work on SIRENS was not just professionally unifying but creatively fulfilling as well. The team established a ritual of analyzing scenes together each week, discussing tone, performance, and overarching storyline elements. This collaborative approach allowed them to align their unique editing styles into a cohesive representation of the series' narrative.  One of the remarkable aspects of SIRENS is its tonal balance—oscillating between humor, mystery, and drama. The show's collaborative ethos even extended beyond the main editing trio. They leaned on the talents of assistant editors like Jen Bryson, who ultimately co-edited Episode 5 with Laura. Based on her play, Elemeno Pea, Molly Smith Metzler's Sirens tells the story of two estranged sisters from Buffalo, Devon and Simon.  While Devon is back in Buffalo, caring for their father who suffers from early on-set dementia, Simone is living in the idyllic seaside town Port Haven, working as a personal assistant for a wealthy socialite named Michaela.  When Devon travels to Port Haven to bring Simone back to Buffalo to help care for their father, she finds a resistant sister who seems to be under some kind of mind control from her employer.  When Devon refuses to leave without Simone, the mystery of Michaela unravels in a blend of drama and dark comedy. CATHERINE HAIGHT, ACE Catherine Haight, ACE is a film editor who has helped bring many award-winning television shows and films to the screen. Cate has had a long collaboration with Joey Soloway including the film Afternoon Delight, starring Kathryn Hahn, the award winning series Transparent, and I Love Dick. She also cut both The Polka King, starring Jack Black, and The Good House, led by Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline, with the directing team of Maya Forbes & Wally Wolodarsky. Cate also has edited the films Troop Zero, starring Viola Davis and Allison Janney, and Puzzle, with Kelly Macdonald and Irrfan Khan. She also cut the television series High Desert, Mozart in the Jungle, Girls, and New Girl.   Her work on the pilot episode of Transparent earned her a nomination for both an Emmy and ACE Eddie Award, and she also received an ACE Eddie nomination for the pilot of Girls. Cate is a member of The American Cinema Editors and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Originally from New Hampshire, she now resides in Los Angeles with her husband. LAURA ZEMPEL, ACE Laura Zempel, ACE is a two-time Emmy Award winning editor based in Los Angeles. Originally from Sacramento, she received a BFA in Film Production from Chapman University. She began her career in as an assistant editor, and has gone on to edit features and television such as HBO's Euphoria, Apple TV's Lessons In Chemistry, Netflix's Beef. ISAAC HAGY, ACE Isaac Hagy, ACE graduated from USC film school in 2006 and continues to live and work in Los Angeles.  His editing credits include feature films Waves and The Friend, as well as television programs Atlanta, Mr & Mrs Smith, Station Eleven, American Vandal, and Chef's Table.  He has been honored with two Emmy and four ACE nominations.  But to be fair, his Assistant Editor - a pit mix named Blue - does most of the hard work.

This week, we're diving into Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel—a hauntingly beautiful novel that blends post-apocalyptic survival with the enduring power of art, memory, and human connection. Set in the aftermath of a devastating pandemic, the story weaves together multiple timelines and characters, from a Shakespearean theater troupe traveling the ruins of North America to the lives they left behind. Our guest is Dave Valeza, who grew up in Covina, California, after emigrating with his family from Manila, Philippines. Pursuing his love of drawing, Dave earned a bachelor's degree in illustration and a master's in sequential art. A passionate visual storyteller, he especially loves drawing people, fashion, and technology. In his spare time, Dave enjoys cooking, reading, and sketching in Savannah, Georgia - where he lives with his husband and family. Find out more about Dave and his work at davevaleza.com. Our drink this week fits right into a dystopian world. It's a simple Mimosa—cocktail or mocktail style—made with sparkling wine or ginger beer/ginger ale. But here's the twist: you must drink it out of a random old cup you found lying around. That's the full Station Eleven experience—elegance in the ruins. Cheers!

Another deep dive episode, and this one feels like it shouldn't have taken so long! We're reading Run Posy Run, talking about the way Cate C. Wells walks a fine line of mafia romance while keeping the book on the morality chain side of the line from dark romance. We talk about heroines against the wall, heroes who have to suffer, the way violence fits into these romances, and about sex and how it's deployed in these books to enormous effect. We love this one (as you all know), and we were so excited to go back to it and give it the deep read it deserved. You can find all of our deep dives at the Fated Mates Book Club. It's that time of year again--Sarah's next book, These Summer Storms (complete with sexy, silent, deeply competent hero) is out in July and she is going on tour!

In 1887, they reversed the river and sent it out to the Mississippi rather than having it flow into Lake Michigan. They were moving rivers around in Rhode Island because of Mayor SOMEBODY and his desire to turn Providence into the Venice of the United States. Waterfire is a Providence thing, but it isn't the same as the water fire[s] in Cleveland. The greatest of the Great Lakes is Lake Superior, to be honest, and it's not afraid to tell everyone about it. Station Eleven is a great book set in and around the Great Lakes.

Host Tayla is joined by Alicia Vaandering from the University of Rhode Island, James Rosenzweig from Eastern Washington University, and Amanda Melilli from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to share their research project focusing on queer representation in picture books and the creation of the Rainbow Representation Rubric. They also talk about queer subtext in classic films and novels and finding comfort (or not!) in dystopian fiction. In the Last Chapter they discuss: would you rather have a personal library with unlimited space but only filled with books you've never read, or a small collection of books you've read and loved but no space for new books?
