When it comes to Hayao Miyazaki, the ocean is full of mystery and calamity. But one thing is for certain: Ponyo loves ham! This week is Miyazaki's late-career “movie for five-year-olds” that somehow combines the terror of complete environmental catastrophe with… the joy of floating around in a candle-powered speedboat. And cool jellyfish! Topics discussed: delicious-looking tea, delicious-looking ramen, whether or not the mad scientist/wizard Fujimoto represents Miyazaki, the perils of painting backgrounds for Ghibli, prehistoric fish, and Frankie Jonas.

Summer of Ludd With the CounterVortex website debilitated by Chinese state-sponsored hackers, chief blogger and ranter Bill Weinberg takes heart in the vibrant scene unfolding this summer in the Lower East Side's Tompkins Square Park—which was kicked off with the anti-tech fest Summer of Ludd. In an historical comparison, Weinberg reads from the December 1966 issue of Paul Krassner's The Realist, in which Robert Anton Wilson wrote on the "cybercultural revolution," and from the Winter 2025 issue of Berkeley anarchist zine Slingshot, in which Anthony Moser rants against Artificial Intelligence. Moser notes how Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki dissed AI-generated anime as "an insult to life itself"—only to have ChatGPT retaliate by targeting his Studio Ghibli for appropriation.

Maci Pringle Interview | Five-Star 2027 Recruit on Flower Mound, Recruiting & Her Rise | You Got Next

In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, we sit down with one of the most electric players in Texas girls basketball: Class of 2027 five-star wing Maci Pringle of Flower Mound High School. Standing 6-foot-2, Maci has developed into a versatile scorer, relentless rebounder, high-energy defender, and one of the most entertaining competitors in the DFW basketball scene. She's a two-time District 5-6A MVP, an All-State selection, a nationally ranked prospect, and helped lead Flower Mound to its first state championship game in program history.But for SportsLifeTalk, this episode hits differently.We first saw Maci years ago with the DC Queens, long before the five-star recognition and national rankings. Back then, she was the energetic young player diving for loose balls, attacking rebounds, supporting teammates, and making basketball look ridiculously fun.Now? That same energy has developed into what Maci describes with one perfect word: electric.Maci takes us back to the beginning of her journey and explains how playing with the DC Queens helped her truly fall in love with basketball. She credits teammates like Zayvionna Madison, Jamyla Anderson, and others for helping shape different pieces of her game. She also reveals how growing up playing soccer helped develop the motor, aggressiveness, speed, and competitive instincts that basketball fans see today.Then we get into the transformation.Maci talks about competing alongside and against elite talent, including players she once looked up to. She explains how those environments demanded excellence and taught her about leadership, composure, preparation, and what it actually takes to compete at the highest level.And the work has paid off.After years of being an underdog who wasn't always playing on the showcase courts, Maci has climbed into the national conversation as a five-star prospect. But instead of treating the ranking like the destination, she views it as confirmation that all those unseen hours mattered.Her mentality becomes even clearer when we discuss Flower Mound's historic run to the Texas state championship game. Maci reflects on the heartbreak of coming so close, the lessons she learned from that experience, and why accountability, leadership, preparation, and eliminating the “woulda, shoulda, coulda” moments will be critical as Flower Mound tries to finish the job.And when we ask Maci what's next?Her answer is simple: a state championship.Recruiting is also becoming a major part of her journey. Maci explains what “home” needs to feel like at the college level. She wants genuine relationships, teammates and coaches she can believe in, an environment where love is felt instead of forced, and a university where she can thrive academically. With aspirations of becoming a pediatrician and eventually opening her own practice, strong pre-med opportunities will play an important role in her decision.Of course, this wouldn't be You Got Next without getting to know Maci beyond basketball.We discover she can speak Pig Latin, loves anime and Studio Ghibli films, plays RPGs like God of War, rocks with Mac Miller, Erykah Badu, Summer Walker and Daniel Caesar, and chooses Black Panther as her favorite superhero. We even learn about the $2.30 tacos near Little Elm that may have officially become an SLT road-trip destination.Behind the rankings is a young woman who is funny, confident, thoughtful, competitive, ambitious, and incredibly comfortable being herself.That's what makes Maci Pringle's journey worth watching.Subscribe to You Got Next on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, leave a rating and review, and share this episode with someone who loves girls' basketball.We've watched Maci Pringle grow from that energetic young DC Queens player into one of the country's most exciting prospects.And she's nowhere close to finished.Once Maci Pringle pops… she can't stop.

Did Studio Ghibli really make a family sitcom? Kind of! It's Isao Takahata's second-to-last film, and we simply couldn't resist adding it to our series.

Jon Klassen makes children's books, but this isn't really a conversation about children's books. Jon recently won the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (one of the biggest honors in children's literature), and we start there before getting into what makes his work so compelling in the first place. We talk about why he leaves space for readers instead of explaining everything, how kids are smarter than we often give them credit for, the value of ambiguity, and why making work for yourself is usually the only way to make something honest. And of course, we get into running, menswear, Studio Ghibli, Maurice Sendak, creative insecurity, and the weird pressure of trying to make good work over and over again.

Anime and manga are a global phenomenon, and their popularity continues to grow. Many of these stories are populated by supernatural beings called yōkai. Even though yōkai can be portrayed as ghosts, demons, or monsters, they're rarely purely good or evil. We trace the history of yōkai from ancient folklore to Studio Ghibli films and shows like Dan Da Dan. I talk with scholars Kaitlyn Ugoretz, Deborah Shamoon, and Michael Dylan Foster about why these supernatural beings have captured people's imaginations, how they became central to modern pop culture, and the role they play in Japan even in times of national emergency. Deborah's book, “Text and Image: Making Meaning in Manga and Comics” is available in the Fall. Kaitlyn's YouTube channel is Eat Pray Anime. Michael Dylan Foster wrote several books on yōkai To support the show, you can donate on Patreon where you get access to the ad-free version and our companion show Between Imaginary Worlds.   Learn more about your ad choices.
