Artem is a 12-year-old Ukranian boy who likes to spend summer days on his grandfather's sunflower farm swimming with his younger brother, Yuri. But one night in February 2022, they hear sirens and bomb blasts – and soon, they're fleeing war. Sam Wachman's debut novel The Sunflower Boys was inspired by his ancestral ties to Ukraine and his experience volunteering with Ukrainian children. In today's episode, he joins NPR's Scott Simon for a conversation about national history, the boys he tutored, and the sense of mission behind his writing.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This episode was recorded on Instagram Live.Hollie Christian Brooks joined us to discuss her new play "Yawn: A Chronically Fatigued Play", which draws from her personal experience with ME/CFS to educate audiences about non-visible disabilities and create new connections with the community.We discuss everything, from symptoms and periods to self-discovery and the power of the Sunflower.  ME/CFS often develops following viral infections like glandular fever, with Hollie's diagnosis coming after years of recurring symptoms.The fatigue associated with ME/CFS differs from normal tiredness in that it cannot be alleviated by sleep and often includes flu-like symptoms, pain, and cognitive difficulties.Hollie created "Yawn" as both a personal healing journey and a way to connect with others who understand the isolation of chronic illness."Yawn" is designed to be accessible and inclusive, with concession tickets available for anyone who self-identifies as having a disability.  If you are experiencing any issues discussed in this podcast, please contact your healthcare practitioner.You can connect with Hollie on Instagram @yawn_play and find links to purchase tickets in her bio. Hosted by Chantal Boyle, Hidden Disabilities Sunflower. If you enjoyed this podcast, please leave a rating and review.Find out more about the Sunflower by visiting the website hdsunflower.comMusic by "The Emerald Ruby" Emerald Ruby Bandcamp and Emerald Ruby website

When you think about baseball, what is one of the first foods you think of?  Hot dogs, peanuts, cracker jacks. But there's another food that comes to mind that players and fans alike have to grab when they know they're going to a game, or better yet, playing in a game...sunflower seeds. But why sunflower seeds and baseball? Well, with the help of my two guests today, we're going to look into the history of the relationship between America's Pastime and the sunflower seed.

Sometimes a graphic novel comes along that is so good, as soon as I'm done reading it, I immediately read it again. That's what happened with Hello Sunshine, the newest graphic novel by Eisner and Ignatz-nominated cartoonist and illustrator Keezy Young. I first encountered Keezy's work when I read Sunflowers, an autobio comic about one person's experience living with bipolar disorder. I was blown away by how personal and intimate the comic was and reached out to Keezy to be on the podcast. They graciously agreed and sent me a copy of Hello Sunshine. It's an absolutely gorgeous hardcover, but the story and art in its pages may end up being the best graphic novel I've read in 2025. Keezy and I chat about Sunflowers and Hello Sunshine, the fine line they walk in telling this story of mental illness and the supernatural, the visual language of the comic, destygmatizing mental illness, their creative process, and the incredible lettering. You do not want to miss this episode.  WHAT IS HELLO SUNSHINE ALL ABOUT: In this lush and romantic queer horror graphic novel, a troubled teen disappears from his small town—sending his loved ones on a paranormal journey to bring him home.Noah is heartbroken. He returns from Bible camp to find that Alex, his secret boyfriend, has had a breakdown and disappeared. He wishes more than anything that he hadn't left that day. Sky is determined. She'll stop at nothing to find her childhood friend, even if it means alienating the people she loves. Izzy is ashamed. She knew something weird was going on with Alex, and she didn't say anything to her boyfriend, Jamie—Alex's twin brother. If she had, would Alex still be here? Jamie is angry. Angry at Alex for being gone, angry at himself for not noticing something was wrong, and angry at his long-dead mother, Desdemona, who had problems of her own.But what if there was something more to Desdemona's demons? Why is Jamie seeing her ghost? And can he get past his hatred of her if it means finding out what happened to his brother?

Has Petra finally given up her pursuit of Falk and found a new love? Is he man enough for her? Is he a man? Is stress a killer? Listen to find out!The Bitter Tears of Petra Wojciehowicz, episode 136 of This Gun in My Hand, were dispensed from the coin-operated intelligence Rob Northrup.

Anyone who grew up within broadcast range of Detroit tv in the 1980s will remember Ben Franklin's unlikely proverb from the ubiquitous Highland Appliance commercials on Presidents' Day.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6waErG4Qwc2. The commercial for Ghost Detective was inspired by “The Thing in The Tunnel,” an episode of Weird Circle radio show originally broadcast March 4th, 1945.https://archive.org/details/OTRR_Weird_Circle_Singles3. In November-December 1997, Burger King kid's meals contained toys promoting the animated feature film Anastasia, including the white bat Bartok who spoke three phrases. One of the phrases was “Stress, it's a killer.” Due to the cheap mechanism that played recorded phrases, a parent claimed on tv news that this delinquent toy was telling her child, “Hey, have a tequila.”4. I'm almost positive Falk has used the expression “love is love” in a past episode. But his memory is as bad as mine. Credits:The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain.

THE SUNFLOWER BOYS by Sam Wachman is a terrific debut that delivers exactly the kind of deeply necessary storytelling we need right now. Sam crafts a profoundly moving narrative that tackles urgent contemporary themes with sensitivity and power—yes, it takes place at the beginning of the war in Ukraine in 2022, but it's so much more than that. In this *spoiler free* conversation, Sam shares inspiration for the novel, details about the writing process, and much more. Sam Wachman is a writer from Cambridge, Massachusetts with Ukrainian roots. His short fiction has appeared in Sonora Review, Berkeley Fiction Review, and New England Review. Before writing The Sunflower Boys, he taught English to primary schoolers in central Ukraine and worked with refugee families in Europe and the United States. What do you get when you join the Gays Reading Book Club?• Curated book delivered monthly to your door (at a discount!) – the books we'd call “accessibly literary”• 30% Off Allstora's website• Access to the book club “Kiki” to talk about the books• Exclusive author Q&As• Allstora donates a children's book to an LGBTQIA+ youth• This club exclusively supports LGBTQIA+ authors!• And more!Support the showBOOK CLUB!Sign up for the Gays Reading Book Club HERE September Book: The Sunflower Boys by Sam Wachman SUBSTACK!https://gaysreading.substack.com/ MERCH!http://gaysreading.printful.me WATCH!https://youtube.com/@gaysreading FOLLOW!Instagram: @gaysreading | @jasonblitmanBluesky: @gaysreading | @jasonblitmanCONTACT!hello@gaysreading.com

You're going to get sick of hearing my voice if this keeps up. Or… our voice, I guess? I'm not Red, nor am I Scarlet. Keeping on theme, you can call me Rosy. Not like the flower, but like when your cheeks get rosy in the cold. We don't have any more roses. Not here, anyway. They'd get smothered under all this snow. I hope it's warmer where you are. I mean it would have to be, your car wouldn't work if it was this cold. That's why we have to walk everywhere. Well, snowshoe. And not… ‘we'. My group does the walking. I stay and mind the fire, while they go out and hunt, forage, chop wood. I get… I think Doc called it ‘Cold-induced… Brontospasms? I don't think that's right, but it's close. My lungs don't work well in the cold. Which is… inconvenient to say the least. The journey here was… rough. But because of that, it means I'm almost always the one to stay behind and tend to the fire. Plus Walt really doesn't trust me with an axe with my missing fingers. Frostbite's a bitch. I don't mind staying behind. It's… actually kind of nice, having the place to myself, every now and then. It's funny, I left an empty bunker six years ago to try and find people, and I succeeded… but there are still some times that I… miss the solitude. We're all over each other here, have to sleep huddled up for warmth. You always wake up in someone else's armpit. And they're loud. The snoring, the way they laugh, the way they argue. We used to listen to your broadcasts when they were more regular, and I think that was the only time of day that everyone was quiet. All listening to you. It was… it was really nice. Those nights didn't feel as cold. You brought warmth to our little group. I miss that. I know you… you wanted your life to be your own again, to not be married to a radio, I get that. I still miss it, that's all. Without you, we've had to resort to other methods of entertainment, which… well, I don't know if you've ever tried to play Crazy Eights with a few missing digits, but… anyway. Sometimes Xue reads for us, but a lot of the guys don't have the patience for it. And they get sick of hearing the same stories over and over. We've got limited books. It isn't perfect, here, I won't lie. We're cold, and we're hungry. And we snap at each other a lot. But… we're other people. And if you have a hunger for that… well, you can always come and find us. I don't know our exact location, just the rough journey I took here, some of the place names. Erie. Sunflower. Newcastle. Four Corners. Just… keep going north until you find a whole lot of nothing. That's where I'll be. Or… I am in my universe, at least. Hopefully if you head there, there's something in yours, too. Just… remember to pack to your mittens.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How can we take digitally-empowered democracy straight out of science fiction into reality? This week, Reid and Aria are joined by two digital democracy pioneers, Audrey Tang and Divya Siddarth. Audrey Tang is a cyber ambassador-at-large and former inaugural Minister of Digital Affairs for Taiwan. Their pioneering initiatives like the Sunflower Movement, g0v, and vTaiwan have fought misinformation and influenced policy decisions. Audrey is also a senior research fellow for the Collective Intelligence Project, co-founded and directed by Divya Siddarth. Divya leads projects worldwide that give voice to the public in building better AI.  Audrey and Divya have spent years investigating how people converge on uncommon ground and how to beat polarization. They discuss the power of collective input and collaboration to create a cycle of collective intelligence. Plus, how AI tools—informed by public input—can enhance governance, digital life, and bring out the best in all of us.  For more info on the podcast and transcripts of all the episodes, visit https://www.possible.fm/podcast/  Topics: 3:07 - Hellos and intros 3:38 - Audrey and Divya's partnership backstory 7:06 - Challenges and surprises with AI in governance 10:19 - What problems do CIP's projects aim to solve? 13:04 - Breakthroughs in collective intelligence 15:08 - Fighting polarization in the age of social media 16:50 - Capitalizing on innate collective intelligence 18:51 - The difference between collective intelligence and democracy 20:33 - Design principles for democracy-forward AI 23:30 - Involving the public in AI model building 26:18 - Midroll  28:32 - Bringing Taiwan's civic wins worldwide 30:41 - Radical transparency in digital tools 35:18 - Why aren't Taiwan's initiatives landing in the U.S. 38:09 - Creating digital twins 39:52 - Reid and Aria's outlook on AI and democracy relations 42:04 - Who would Reid delegate AI centralization to? 45:05 - Rapid-fire Select mentions:  Plurality by  E.

Tune in for grounded and speculative takes on how technology—and, in particular, AI—is inspiring change and transforming the future. Hosted by Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger, each episode features an interview with an ambitious builder or deep thinker on a topic, from art to geopolitics and from healthcare to education. These conversations also showcase another kind of guest: AI. Each episode seeks to enhance and advance our discussion about what humanity could possibly get right if we leverage technology—and our collective effort—effectively.

Join us this summer as we dive into the Psalms. Each week, we'll explore a different Psalm to see how its timeless truths speak into our present lives.

So, bring your whole heart this summer—let's learn to pray, praise, and trust like never before. Thi week, Evan Gratz, our Director of Community Life, leads us in the reading of Psalm 34. What do hot wings, sunflowers, and David acting crazy have to do with us and our relationship with God? Find out as we discover that to know God is good is to take a step of faith and trust.  Passage: Psalm 34:1-8 We have three worship opportunities for you to experience: 9:00 a.m. - Sanctuary Service 9:30 a.m. - Online Service 10:30 a.m. - Chapel Service  Please consider joining us for one of these services.  To view past worship services along with other digital content, go to our Youtube Channel @PointLomaChurchOnline.  To get involved in what God is doing within our community, please visit our website at www.pointlomachurch.org.

A mysterious wasting disease has been decimating sea star populations along the West Coast since 2013. The illness works quickly, causing sea stars to lose limbs and reducing them to a pile of goo in a matter of weeks. Sunflower sea stars have been particularly hard-hit —  roughly 90% of their global population has succumbed to the disease, possibly contributing to the demise of many West Coast kelp forests.   The cause of the wasting disease has stumped scientists for more than a decade. But now, a team of Northwest researchers have identified a bacteria that appears to be behind the illness.    Alyssa Gehman is a marine disease ecologist at the Hakai Institute, a marine research organization in British Columbia. She joins us with more details on what the breakthrough could mean for sea star recovery.  

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sat down with Megan Gordon, Executive Director of the Page Alliance for Community Action (PACA), to discuss the organization's tireless efforts to keep Page County's youth and families healthy and drug-free. Since its inception in 2006, PACA has grown from a small nonprofit into a cornerstone of community wellness, thanks in part to federal grants and a dedicated coalition of local partners. Gordon shared how PACA's mission goes far beyond the outdated “just say no” approach. Instead, the organization focuses on education, prevention, and providing positive alternatives for young people. From collaborating with law enforcement on compliance checks to distributing medicine lock boxes and timer caps, PACA tackles substance misuse from every angle. Their initiatives include afterschool programs, community gardens, and evidence-based lessons in schools, all designed to reduce risk factors and build protective environments for youth. The conversation also touched on the evolving landscape of substance misuse, with new challenges like fentanyl and vaping requiring constant adaptation. Gordon emphasized the importance of community involvement, noting that PACA's coalition includes everyone from hospital staff and law enforcement to parents and youth. “It really takes grassroots efforts,” she explained, “and that's what coalitions are.” Funding remains a persistent challenge, especially as federal grants face cuts. To sustain their work, PACA relies on fundraising and community support. One of their most beloved events is the annual Page Valley Sunflower Festival, a vibrant celebration that brings together families, local businesses, and visitors for a day of music, crafts, hayrides, and, of course, sunflower picking. The festival, now in its sixth year, is a testament to the power of partnership, with the town of Luray and numerous local organizations pitching in to make it a success. As the episode wrapped up, Gordon encouraged listeners to get involved—whether by attending the festival, becoming a sponsor, or simply reaching out for advice. With its blend of practical support, education, and community spirit, PACA is truly planting seeds of change in Page County, one sunflower at a time.

In this episode, Angie—your cruise director through the cosmos and lover of lion-hearted wisdom—guides us through the astrology of August 2025, a month pulsing with retrogrades, portals, and a quiet kind of transformation.With Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, and Chiron all retrograde, the skies are asking us to slow down, look inward, and do the sacred work of integration. We're not meant to push forward this month—we're meant to listen to the rumblings beneath the surface.We explore the Lion's Gate on 8/8, a potent spiritual portal of renewal and soul alignment, followed by an emotionally clarifying Aquarius Full Moon on 8/9. Mercury stations direct on 8/11, Venus conjoins Jupiter in Cancer, and by mid-month we're pivoting toward Virgo's grounded energy with a deeply healing New Moon at 0° Virgo on 8/23—our official threshold into Eclipse Season.Alongside the cosmic currents, we're held by earth medicine:Sunflower teaches us to follow the light, even when it's hidden—and to lean toward each other when we can't find it on our own.Mountain Lion offers courage, presence, and sovereignty, especially in moments when we feel uncertain or unseen.Peridot brings heart-cleansing, solar plexus-strengthening clarity—reminding us we don't have to carry what's not ours.This month is about emotional recalibration, intuitive trust, and preparing the soil for the eclipses to come. Grab your peridot, light a candle for your inner mountain lion, and meet us in the sunflower field between fire and stillness.

Sunflowers are in full bloom in St. Louis. The hearty plants are an important part of the ecosystem. In addition to being edible for humans and other animals, sunflowers support pollinators — and serve as an attraction for doves during hunting season. The fields at Columbia Bottom Conservation Area also provide a colorful, sunny backdrop for photos.

Today's poem is Sunflowers in the Median by Natalie Homer.The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on March 4, 2022. In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “What is it about noticing beauty that brings you out of yourself and returns you to yourself? I love rooting for beauty, for awe, for those unexpected visions that make life a little easier to manage. In today's vibrant poem, we see how the image of sunflowers can allow for a sort of grace.

Send us a textOn this episode of the Another Way To See It podcast, we reflect on the immensity of the terrain we've covered in season 4. This year we've witnessed a contentious election, lived through the heartbreaking images of genocide, felt the Earth protest in hurricanes, floods, and fires, we resisted AI,  we looked on in disbelief as our neighbors got snatched off the streets, and so so much more. Our hearts broke open and tears fell with each new episode. There was and is so much to process, so much to feel. In season 4 we welcomed 12 guests, each bringing their authenticity and vulnerability to our listeners. We are in deep appreciation to: Sunflower, Kate, Dre, Devon, Joëlle, Christine, Jessica, Jackie, Danielle, Kimberly, Adéllyn, and Noelle, for being role models, inspirations, and guides. This season we lost some dear ones, teachers and friends who are now ancestors. May their work live on through us. Andrea Gibson was an American poet and activist.Website: https://andreagibson.org/ Homesick by Andrea Gibson:https://andreagibson.org/homesick-a-plea-for-our-planet Joanna Macy was an environmental activist, author, and scholar of Buddhism, general systems theory, and deep ecology.Website: https://www.joannamacy.net/main We extend a heartfelt thanks to all of you who listen, and encourage you to share an episode that touched you in some way with someone you know.
