Harper A. Bailey is the pen name of Dr. Tiosha Bailey, a Chicago native, public health leader and powerful storyteller who challenges the status quo. She manifests dreams through grief and creativity.She was the first Black woman to lead a prominent national women's healthcare nonprofit, where she prioritized health equity and amplified the voices of underserved communities. Her first book, It Was Her: A Memoir—featuring a foreword by renowned motivational speaker Lisa Nichols—invites readers into a deeply personal story shaped by loss, resilience and transformation. Through honest and compelling storytelling, Harper explores identity, healing and the courage it takes to reclaim your narrative.It Was Her is more than a memoir about endurance; it is a testament to the human spirit's remarkable capacity to heal when we dare to listen to what truly calls us. Bailey's voice offers a compelling invitation to anyone who has ever felt broken by life's demands to discover resilience, extend forgiveness, and pursue renewal. It invites readers to lean into the uncomfortable, to find grace in the ordinary and to believe that the darkest chapters can become the prologue to a brighter, more authentic life.As a speaker, Harper brings clarity, depth and humor to conversations about leadership, purpose and the lived experiences of Black women. She connects with audiences through truth-telling and a passion for creating spaces where people feel seen, heard and empowered.In this episode, we discuss:The dream that sparked the book and how grief became a surprising creative catalystWhat allowed Harper to finish the book quickly while processing deep emotional painThe decision to include personal journal entries and the intimacy they added to the storyHow reframing trauma opened space for forgiveness and deeper healingWhy Harper chose to write under her pen name and what that unlocked for herHarper's work is about creating spaces where people, especially women and Black communities, can embrace their healing, their strength and their purpose. She uses creativity, raw truth and humor to illuminate the fullness of the human experience.Ultimately, Harper's memoir charts a path toward wholeness that reminds us that healing is not a destination but an ongoing process of choosing oneself over and over again. The book closes with the realization that the freedom and joy she sought were within her all along: It was her. It was YOU. It was all of us. Learn more and follow Harper: www.harperabailey.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/tiosha-goss-bailey-drph-mph-5149a552/https://www.instagram.com/harper_abaileyhttps://www.facebook.com/harperabailey

Elliot meets another father of a daughter, only the other father's daughter just died in an alley having just been sodomized and humiliated, meaning there's some sympathy pain for Stabes to experience.

Needless to say, if Stabler's getting reprimanded by Cabot for helping a suspect, things are topsy-turvy in Dadland. Of course, this being Munch My Benson means there are tangents, including what kind of bets a college kid could have made to dig himself a $5K hole on the 2003 Super Bowl and a dive into the NYPD's heinous brutality done unto Abner Louima, so hold onto your butts.Sources:Abner Louima - WikipediaThanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, Karyn R, Summer S, and Matt - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

The latest episode of “Mizzou Storytellers” welcomes one of the most recognizable players in recent Mizzou Football history: record-setting kicker Harrison Mevis. Now known nationwide as the “Thiccer Kicker,” the Los Angeles Rams kicker reflects on his journey from Warsaw, Indiana to becoming Mizzou's all-time leading scorer to his playoff heroics with the Rams. Hosts Dave Matter and Loretta Jones and “Producer Steve” Sowers sit down with the former Tiger kicker to revisit the biggest moments of his career, including his epic 61-yard game-winning field goal against Kansas State in 2023, one of the most memorable plays in recent Missouri football history. Mevis discusses growing up in a kicking family, his rise as one of the nation's top specialists and what it was like kicking in the pressure cooker of the Southeastern Conference. Along the way, Mevis shares stories about life as a college kicker, the mental side of clutch moments, his favorite memories in Columbia, and advice for young specialists hoping to follow a similar path.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

My Guest: Kat Cole is the CEO of AG1 (formerly Athletic Greens) and a renowned business leader known for a meteoric rise from Hooters waitress to Fortune 40 Under 40 executive. As former President/COO of Focus Brands (Cinnabon), she specializes in scaling global brands. Her career is defined by driving billions in sales, strategic innovation, and a strong, people-first leadership style. Key Learnings You can't market your way out of a bad product. AG1 has 3x'd the business in four years while being in only one channel (direct to consumer) for 15 years. 80% of retail is in brick and mortar, so they were doing that volume in less than 20% of where transactions happen. That only works when customers love the product, keep buying it for years, and tell their friends. Scale comes from trusted recommendations, not marketing spend. Real volume comes from people telling their friends, recommending it to their teams and companies. That's where real scale and sustainable growth comes from. Two questions guide every career decision. Is my work done here? Can someone else do what the company needs better than I can? If the answer to either is yes, that guides you toward pushing for change in your role, the way you show up, or finding the next opportunity. Sometimes the best move is the lesser-known role. Kat could have stayed running big franchise brands everyone knew (Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's), but becoming COO of the parent company, Focus Brands, was a bigger, more complex role. Lesser known, smaller team, bigger stretch, more learning. That bridged her into consumer packaged goods and got her ready for AG1. Consider financial needs, learning, and ego separately. Between financial needs, your ability to learn or contribute, and your ego or optics, there are questions you can ask yourself about a particular moment or opportunity that will help you be sharper in what you actually want versus what just looks like what's best next on the surface. The founder heard her on podcasts and asked for an introduction. AG1's founder heard Kat on a couple of podcasts, knew Sahil Bloom, and asked Sahil to make the intro. She just happened to be taking time off and had been a customer for two years. "You're interviewing for your next job every day." Whatever you do now, that choice of time, that tone of voice, that decision, how you show up or don't, creates an impact that leads to an experience and people's actions and then results. Eventually, it leads to the next thing. Showing kindness in the airport matters. A caring note to someone struggling, a teacher or stranger saying, "I see something in you," a compliment when someone's in a dark place. It helps people out of darkness. Or opportunistically, being the one who sent the email or made the ask means you're the one who got the opportunity. Don't burn bridges even when you feel wronged. When Kat was an executive at Hooters at 26, peers in their 50s and 60s would say things in meetings that weren't kind or appropriate. She would write letters expressing how it made her feel, but never sent them. She processed, reflected, and showed up professionally. Years later, those same people became advocates, partners, and references. Four key mindsets for senior leaders. Humility, curiosity, courage, and confidence. By the time candidates get to Kat, they've been vetted on technical capability. She spends time validating those four characteristics because leadership and style trickle far into the organization. Ask "if not for" questions to reveal humility. When someone tells you how they stood tall in tough moments, ask what enabled them to do those great things. They'll say, "I had access to this data, this team, this technical leader." Then ask: "If those people did not exist, if that resource did not exist, how would you have navigated that?" You peel back layers and see if they have the humility to acknowledge their success was due to critical factors. The best candidates do the job in the interview. When someone says, "If we're doing this, we'll absolutely need this person in this specific role," or they have people in mind they're bringing with them, that's a good sign. Hiring leaders who have people who are loyal to them shows something real. In reference checks, ask, "What does this person need to be successful?" It's a positive framing to get at what someone might lack or require around them to be effective. Help people answer "how should I think about this?" In a fully remote company, you have less context and fewer vibes. When you send a note about ending a product line or launching something you said you'd never launch, people's subconscious internal war is "how should I think about this?" Leaders should start communications with "here's how I think about this" or "here's how we should think about this." Sometimes the answer is to shut up and speak last. As teams get stronger, there's more weight on the few things the CEO says. Leave space for other leaders to lead. Kat removed herself from some meetings entirely because she has such great leaders and a strong culture. Pay attention to themes in criticism, not individual attacks. When competitors attack you, ask: Are there patterns? Is there something reflective of industry questions? Sometimes criticisms point to things you already do well but aren't communicating well enough. Comparison ads work short-term but don't build credibility long-term. Challenger brands use the playbook of "we're like the leader, but better/cheaper." Consumers see through it. People tell AG1, "I saw an ad comparing their product to yours, and they're clearly saying you're the leader." The rage bait is brief; the truth is long. Algorithms reward dopamine hits and rage bait. Something untrue or negatively spun can quickly become widely seen because the critique is brief and witty, but the explanation and truth are long. AG1 has more human trials on a single SKU than any other multi-ingredient product ever in the space, but that's harder to say in a sound bite. Don't criticize a car for not taking you to the moon. Someone criticized one of AG1's products for not doing something the product isn't supposed to do. When addressing criticism, clarify what the product is actually designed to do. Her husband will be the fourth person ever to row across three oceans. He's already rowed the Atlantic (set the US record as a pair) and the Caribbean. Now he's training for the Pacific. If he completes it, he'll be only the fourth person to have ever done it in the world.  It's about who you become while striving for the big thing. After her husband got rescued in the Caribbean, he questioned why he was doing this with two kids. But this pursuit is who he is, what drives him, it's inspiring for the kids, and it makes him a better person when he's home. It's about the journey and who you do it with. More Learning 476: Kat Cole - Raise Your Hand, Raise Your Voice 078: Kat Cole - Courage, Confidence, Curiosity, and Humility Reflection Questions Is your work done where you are? Can someone else do what the company needs better than you can? When interviewing someone, ask what enabled them to succeed in a tough moment. Then ask: if that team or resource didn't exist, how would you have done it differently? What communication this week needs context? Start with: here's what this means, what it's not about, and how we should think about it.

Hello to you listening in Grants Pass, Oregon! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Once upon a time there was a young girl who lived with her wicked stepmother and wicked stepsister. One day the girl went to the well to fetch water. While there an old crone asked her for a drink of the cold water she was drawing up from the well. The girl gave her a drink and as a reward for her kindness the crone said, “Each time you speak pearls, jewels and roses will fall from your lips.” Seeing this magic the wicked stepmother sent the wicked stepsister to the well to claim her own reward. At the well a beautiful princess asks for water; but the wicked stepsister says, “Draw your own water! I'm not your servant.” “Ah,” said the princess, “That is unfortunate. From this day forward scorpions, lizards and toads will fall from your lips when you speak.” Click HERE to learn more  Story Prompt: What if we could see our words even before we spoke them?

Hello to you listening in Aukland, New Zealand! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. I've been walking in the rain to settle my restless, anxious spirit. I live in Washington. It rains. If don't walk in the rain I'd probably never walk.   As I walked I reflected on something my teacher Thich Nhat Hanh said about people and the sturdiness of trees, “When you look at the tree during the storm you can see that the top of the tree is not solid. You can only see the tiny branches and a number of leaves on the top of the tree swaying back and forth under the effect of the wind. You have the impression that the tree is very vulnerable but if you look down to see the big branches and the trunk of the tree you see that the tree is strongly rooted in the ground. The impression that the tree is vulnerable will vanish. You see that the tree is much more solid than it looks at the top. We are like that, too." Practical Tip: When you feel anxious, uncertain or vulnerable you can practice to get solid and peaceful again. The stability of your body will help bring about the stability of your mind. Sit beautifully and practice saying: “Breathing in I see myself grounded, breathing out I feel solid, peaceful.” And so you will become. Guaranteed.

der var noget særligt ved Mikkels fortælling, en ægte kærlighed til historien, som fangede hende.En: Lotte was right; there was something special about Mikkel's storytelling, a genuine love for history that captivated her.Da: Hun besluttede at blive på en ekstra rundvisning og lærte hurtigt, at Mikkel ikke kun kunne fortælle om skæbnerne fra fortiden, men også havde en historie selv.En: She decided to stay for an extra tour and quickly learned that Mikkel could not only speak of the fates of the past but also had a story of his own.Da: Hans ord flød som en del af slottets atmosfære og skabte billeder fra fortiden for Sofies indre blik.En: His words flowed as part of the castle's atmosphere, creating images from the past in Sofie's mind's eye.Da: Turens højdepunkt var den storslåede estiske sal.En: The highlight of the tour was the magnificent estiske sal.Da: De gamle portrætter stirrede ned fra væggene, og i skæret fra de høje vinduer faldt tilfældet sådan, at kun Sofie og Mikkel blev tilbage i rummet.En: The old portraits stared down from the walls, and in the glow from the high windows, it happened that only Sofie and Mikkel remained in the room.Da: "Hvorfor elsker du historie så meget?"En: "Why do you love history so much?"Da: spurgte hun pludselig, nysgerrig og åben.En: she asked suddenly, curious and open.Da: Mikkel tøvede lidt, men hans blik mødte hendes ærligt, "Historie minder os om, hvem vi er, og hvordan vi blev til.En: Mikkel hesitated a little, but his gaze met hers honestly, "History reminds us of who we are and how we came to be.Da: For mig er det livets fortælling."En: For me, it's the story of life."Da: Sofie nikkede og indså, at dette måske var den forbindelse, hun havde manglet.En: Sofie nodded and realized that this might be the connection she had been missing.Da: "Jeg skriver på en roman," sagde hun.En: "I'm writing a novel," she said.Da: "Historie er kernen i den, men jeg har haft blokering.En: "History is its core, but I've been blocked.Da: Måske kunne du..." hun stoppede, usikker på hvordan hun skulle fortsætte.En: Maybe you could..." she paused, unsure how to continue.Da: Mikkel smilede opmuntrende.En: Mikkel smiled encouragingly.Da: "Måske kunne vi mødes og tale mere om det," sagde han, "også udenfor slottets mure."En: "Maybe we could meet and talk more about it," he said, "also outside the castle's walls."Da: Da turen sluttede, byttede Sofie og Mikkel kontaktoplysninger.En: When the tour ended, Sofie and Mikkel exchanged contact information.Da: Uden for portene sagde Lotte farvel og blinkede til Sofie.En: Outside the gates, Lotte said goodbye and winked at Sofie.Da: "Det der, min ven, er begyndelsen på noget nyt," sagde hun med et skævt smil.En: "That, my friend, is the beginning of something new," she said with a crooked smile.Da: Sofie følte en lethed, en ændring i hende selv.En: Sofie felt a lightness, a change within herself.Da: Hun var klar til at træde ind i en ny fortælling, både i hendes roman og i hendes liv.En: She was ready to step into a new story, both in her novel and in her life.Da: Mikkel gik tilbage mod slottet, og selvom han stadig bar på historier fra fortiden, følte han en ny historie begynde at skrive sig selv.En: Mikkel walked back towards the castle, and although he still carried stories from the past, he felt a new story beginning to write itself.Da: En der handlede om nuet.En: One that was about the present.

Ralph McTell is one of Britain's most enduring and respected singer-songwriters, a master storyteller whose songs have become woven into the fabric of English folk music. Born in Kent and raised in Croydon, McTell developed an early love for American blues, folk and traditional British music. As a teenager he was captivated by artists such as Woody Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack Elliott, influences that shaped both his fingerstyle guitar technique and his gift for narrative songwriting.After studying at art school in the early '60s, Ralph began busking and performing in London's thriving folk clubs, quickly building a reputation for his intricate guitar work and warm, conversational stage presence. He signed with a record company in the late '60s, releasing his self-titled debut album in '68. His breakthrough came in '69 with “Streets of London,” a song inspired by his travels in Paris and London, where he encountered loneliness and poverty firsthand. The song's gentle melody and compassionate lyrics struck a deep chord. Though it became a hit in the early '70s and was later re-released to even greater success, its impact went far beyond chart positions. It became one of the most covered songs in British music history, recorded by hundreds of artists worldwide and earning McTell the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for songwriting. Throughout the '70s, Ralph toured extensively releasing many albums. While “Streets of London” often overshadowed his broader catalogue, McTell consistently proved himself far more than a one-song artist. In the '80s, Ralph broadened his scope. He composed music for children's tv and wrote songs for stage productions. His collaborations included projects with fellow folk legend Wizz Jones and work alongside various orchestras.A defining characteristic of Ralph McTell's career has been his longevity and consistency. Rather than chasing trends, he has remained devoted to craftsmanship. In the 2000s and beyond, McTell continued to record and tour, releasing albums that revisited his influences and explored new material. He has also been honoured for his contributions to music, including receiving an OBE in 2010 for services to folk music.Today, Ralph McTell stands as a cornerstone of British folk songwriting. His legacy rests not only on a single iconic anthem, but on decades of carefully crafted songs that chronicle ordinary lives with empathy and grace. With his distinctive fingerpicking style, warm tenor voice and unflinching eye for human stories, McTell has carved out a body of work that continues to resonate across generations.More than half a century after he first stepped onto the folk club stage, Ralph McTell remains what he has always been: a storyteller with a guitar, shining a quiet light on the corners of life others might overlook.

On this episode of Next On Scene, Jaclyn Zukerman Delory sit down with Marci Bracken and Bridget Snell, the Co-founders of Pink Chair Storytellers. A platform dedicated to giving women and trans women a space to share their stories openly and authentically. Their mission is rooted in a powerful belief: when people tell the truth about their lived experiences, it creates understanding, connection, and empathy. And when empathy grows, communities become stronger. Through Pink Chair Storytellers, Marci and Bridget have created a space where voices are not filtered, censored, or judged, they are simply heard. In this conversation, we talk about: The inspiration behind launching Pink Chair Storytellers Magazine Why uncensored storytelling matters now more than ever How sharing personal narratives can create real cultural impact The power of amplifying women's and trans women's voices If you believe in the power of storytelling to create connection and change, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

IF YOU LOVE A GOOD STORYTELLER You are going to love the comedy of Ali Saddiq. He is a master storyteller and does so in a way that both gives you window into his world of growing up in the hood, going to prison for being a street pharmaceutical rep, and now living surrounded by lighter hued neighbors in a Houston gated community. He's masterful, profane, and often touches on parts of human nature that cross all racial and economic barriers. He joins me at 12:30, and his show this weekend at the Paramount has NINE tickets available as of this morning, but his show in Aspen has some tickets left if you're headed there this week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris's mom, Yun Cha, and dad met at the grocery shop that she and her sister owned nearby to the US military base. After years of  moving base to base in the US and Europe, Yun Cha still in her twenties, moved  back to the United States with her family where she was trying to immerse herself into the American culture.After time,  trying to hold onto both cultures simultaneously, speaking Korean at home and English outside the home,  inevitably proved impossible. Yun Cha selflessly gave up speaking her native tongue to her children to help them assimilate back into their American culture.Chris says "my mom was a great dreamer and she dreamed of such wonderful things.   If you do what you want, you'll never work a day in your life." Chris says that was great until he wanted to work in the theatre industry. Suddenly mom was championing for her son to be a doctor or lawyer and not the theatre rat that Chris wanted to be.While living overseas, Chris and his older sister were immersed in the local culture regardless of what country they were living. That was one of many benefits of the American schools on the base. All the children were introduced to the history, arts and  entertainment of the surrounding area. They were exposed to so much more than their school books.Eventually Chris's mother did go back to visit her remaining family in Korea. It was then that Yun Cha was able to get a recovered photograph of her mom, something that she longed for for many years. It brought her great comfort to finally see the photo of her mom again.Chris's theatrical work, slightly on pause because of the pandemic: "Odd Lot "Improv Company and "Savannah Shakers" Shakespeare Theatre Company Podcast: "The Most Haunted City on Earth" -the telling of ghosts stories around Savannah.

Why did Jesus choose stories instead of sermons? In this episode, New Testament scholar Dr. Amy-Jill Levine explores how Jesus' parables don't simply explain God's kingdom—they invite us into it. Rooted deeply in Jewish storytelling tradition, the parables aren't tidy moral lessons. They don't resolve neatly. They don't hand us conclusions. Instead, they challenge us, unsettle us, and ask us to wrestle. Dr. Levine explains how parables "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable," why discomfort can be a sign we're reading them correctly, and how wrestling with these stories actually builds community. This conversation isn't just about ancient texts.  It's about how stories shape us. How they stretch us. And how joy is found not in easy answers—but in meaningful engagement.

This fireside chat podcast features Dr. Jeannie Kim, a community college leader, discussing the intersection of artificial intelligence, humanity, and leadership in higher education. The conversation explores how educational institutions can navigate rapid technological change while maintaining human connection and addressing the emotional toll on faculty, staff, and students. Themes discussed between N2N's Storyteller in Residence and host of Quantum Leap 2026, Dr. Rod Berger, and Dr. Jeannie Kim. 1. Humanity in an AI-Driven World Dr. Kim and the host bond over being cancer survivors, using this as a lens to discuss facing finality while living in a world of endless possibility Emphasis on maintaining hope and resilience when confronting technological transformation AI should handle mundane tasks so humans can focus on meaningful connections 2. Leadership Challenges in Higher Education Leaders must carefully navigate AI adoption across three groups: early adopters (20%), middle adopters (60%), and resistant "clay layer" (20%) Fear pervades all levels of the organization Success requires vulnerability, storytelling, and emotional connection rather than having all the answers Must move away from "sage on the stage" mentality toward creating organic connections 3. Behind-the-Scenes Struggles Dr. Kim reveals challenges not widely discussed in the popular press: Mental health crisis among administrators, faculty, staff, and students Overwhelming combination of political/social chaos, rapid AI changes, and curriculum redesign Faculty capacity limitations when asked to defend content and completely revise teaching methods Outdated technology (still using 2000s-era tools during COVID in 2020) 4. Practical AI Integration California community colleges provide Google Gemini access to all students and employees Dr. Kim uses AI daily for iterative learning, crafting detailed prompts (sometimes over a page long) Uses paid, encapsulated version for privacy Encourages exploring AI for both professional and personal questions Most popular ChatGPT use: relationship advice/personal therapy 5. Education's Path Forward Must acknowledge "we don't know what we don't know." Avoid one-size-fits-all solutions that plagued previous technology implementations Focus on student-centered values that everyone can rally around Create space for failure and learning while respecting diverse perspectives Regular and substantive faculty-student interaction remains critical 6. New Leadership Skills Needed Spend less time on mundane tasks, more on human connection Create moments where people connect organically Be open to uncomfortable conversations and challenging perspectives Learn something new every day Provide diverse perspectives (example: hosting NYT bestselling author Karen Howe) Notable Quotes: "AI can take care of those things that, quite frankly, I didn't wanna do in the first place." "We don't know what we don't know, and we don't take the time to figure out what we don't know." "It's not a one-size-fits-all" "We need to figure out how to stop being the sage on the stage." This conversation took place at the Quantum Leap 2026 conference, brought to you by End to End and Lightleap AI, focusing on innovation in higher education.

Hello to you listening in Brisbane, Australia! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. It's wretched madness, stupidity, corruption, and greed! Yes, this is the time we're living in. While chances are it could get worse, I can also say that it is impermanent. When does it end? How does it end? No clue. But then again I don't know how electricity works. I can't see it until it flares in a lightbulb. Maybe electricity is like faith: “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” What I have seen is the growing momentum of good trouble. Will it continue? Count on it. I've lived long enough to believe that We the People have the momentum to crush the madness. What this growing momentum is made of, how it will manifest, or where it will come from is yet to be seen.     Meanwhile, “When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” [~ Harriet Beecher Stowe] Guaranteed!

Through the looking glass we go, as we consider other shapes the World of Darkness might take. A collection to spark ideas along the way is World of Darkness: Mirrors for first edition nWoD, whose pages we're riffling this time around. Alternate systems, alternate settings, and a whole lot of Storyteller insights fill these pages, from the genius to the puzzling. Nearly everything can be adapted to all of the games, but naturally we're looking at this one through a Changeling lens. Both Changeling: the Lost and Changeling: the Dreaming can make use of many ideas in here. Care to build a system around social combat? get post-apocalyptic? give mortals in the setting one-off powers that slowly drive them mad? We had to keep a high-level view of this one, because this book could its own Season of mirrors going down forever. Hopefully this taste will sufficiently whet your appetite to do investigations of your own...!

Hello to you listening in Alexandria, Virginia! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Growing up in a family of 9 I remember a never-ending stack of dishes, cups, bowls and silverware to wash and dry. There was also the never-ending arguing about whose job it was to wash the dishes. Eventually our parents caved and bought a dishwasher; but the arguing didn't end there. Did you know there is a right way and a wrong way to stack items in a dishwasher? Who knew? Dishes face this way, cups face that way, silverware goes like so. One person's different system was perceived as wrong by someone else. Believe it or not, one of the advantages of living in a big family is the ever-present teaching moment, like this one: "Just because you do things differently, you are not wrong.” Story Prompt: When in your personal or professional life have you done something differently only to be told it was wrong? What happened next? Write that story and share it out loud!  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Storytellers often try to use shame to enforce a message—but doing so quietly destroys character arc. In this episode, Zena Dell Lowe explains why shame collapses characters into moral verdicts and turns storytelling into propaganda instead of discovery.What's the difference between guilt, shame, and conviction, and why does that difference matter for writers, filmmakers, and culture itself?For writers, filmmakers, and storytellers, the misuse of shame collapses characters into verdicts instead of people. When a story tells the audience who is morally acceptable and who is not, character complexity disappears and true transformation becomes impossible.In this episode you'll discover:• The critical difference between guilt, shame, and conviction • Why shame drains human agency and moral clarity • How shame is used as a tool of cultural control • Why many modern films feel ideological instead of human • The storytelling difference between theme and propaganda • How writers accidentally destroy character arc • Why dignity—not shame—is required for transformationWe'll also examine how films like Don't Look Up, Milk, Boys Don't Cry, American Beauty, the classic It's a Wonderful Life, and the series Downton Abbey reveal the tension between human storytelling and ideological messaging.For storytellers, this raises an urgent question:Are we inviting audiences into discovery… or coercing them into agreement?Because the moment shame replaces persuasion, storytelling stops being exploration and starts becoming propaganda.And when that happens, character arc dies.If you care about great storytelling, meaningful character development, and cultural honesty, this episode is for you.About The Storyteller's Mission The Storyteller's Mission helps writers craft stories grounded in truth, meaning, and moral clarity — stories that shape culture rather than merely reflect it.Keywords / Topics Coveredstorytelling craft, character arc, shame vs guilt, conviction and repentance, narrative psychology, propaganda in film, ideological storytelling, writing better characters, moral complexity in storytelling, story theme vs propaganda, storytelling philosophy, film analysis, writing advice for authors, screenwriting craft, storytelling and culture.Free Resources for Writers:Seven Deadly Plot Points FREE TRAINING VIDEO Free Video Tutorial for ScreenwritingSign up for The Storyteller's Digest, my exclusive bi-monthly newsletter for writers and storytellers.

Our journey around World Showcase continues as we leave the Mexico Pavilion behind and make a quick stop in Italy to watch Sergio the juggler. Unfortunately, this is where my batteries gave out — and of course, this was the moment Sergio picked Mikey to help. It's a memory I wish I had captured, but one we'll always remember.With about twenty minutes left before our lunch reservation in Germany, we continue on to the Japan Pavilion. Arriving just a few minutes before showtime, we watch as the background music fades and the Daruma Storyteller steps out to share the traditions of Japanese New Year. Through humor, heart, and a wonderful performance, she teaches us the meaning behind Daruma dolls and the spirit of perseverance they represent.For the best experience, put on your favorite headphones and enjoy this immersive binaural recording from Epcot's Japan Pavilion.

Children grew up reading Roald Dahl's tales of giant peaches and chocolate factories. Adults know about the controversy surrounding the antisemitic statements he made in his later years. But before becoming one of the most successful children's authors of all time, Dahl worked for MI6, seducing Washington socialites and cozying up to the First Family. He did this to gather intelligence and exert influence for Winston Churchill in the early days of World War II. Writer Aaron Tracy delves into Dahl's complicated life in his new podcast, The Secret World of Roald Dahl, and sat down with Sasha to discuss Dahl's forays into espionage.
