Perhaps you've been following Alison Bechdel's work since her comic strip “Dykes to Watch Out For,” which invented the now ubiquitous Bechdel test (does a movie have two women who speak to each other about something other than a man?). Maybe you came to know her through her graphic memoir “Fun Home,” which was adapted into a Tony-award winning musical. Her latest comic novel, “Spent,” is a work of autofiction that grapples with and parodies Bechdel's own popularity. We'll talk with Bechdel about being famous in a world on fire— and the funny side of it, too. Guests: Alison Bechdel, graphic novelist and cartoonist, author of "Spent: A Comic Novel." Her previous books include "The Secret to Superhuman Strength" and "Fun Home," which was adapted into a Tony Award-winning musical. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Send us a textWitness history in the making as the World Strength Games returns to St. George on May 23-24 2025, transforming the Dixie Convention Center into an arena where human potential collides with physical impossibility. Since its humble beginnings in 2017 with just 11 athletes, this event has exploded into an international phenomenon, officially documenting 121 world records and counting.What makes the World Strength Games unique isn't just the superhuman feats of strength—it's the strategic format where athletes must choose their weights wisely, getting just two attempts to etch their names in history. Think of it as high-stakes poker where competitors must decide: play it safe or risk everything for glory. This creates an electric atmosphere as athletes from Australia, Sweden, and across America push the boundaries of human capability.The crowd favorite remains the iconic 402-pound basalt stone carry, modeled after Iceland's famous Husafell Stone but deliberately made more challenging. Last year, spectators erupted as competitors who seemed physically incapable hoisted this massive stone and carried it distances no one thought possible. This year, local hero Miles Kinikini will attempt to shatter the Farmer's Walk world record by carrying a mind-boggling 460 pounds in each hand.Beyond strongman, this evolved fitness expo now features USA Wrestling tournaments, Ninja Warrior courses, CrossFit challenges through the Summit Games, and an NFL-style combine for aspiring athletes. Legendary figures in strength sports will be present, including four-time World's Strongest Man Magnus Ver Magnusson and potentially current reigning World's Strongest Man Tom Stoltman.Perhaps most fascinating is how this event showcases human potential across all demographics. From 73-year-old grandmothers carrying refrigerator-sized weights to discussions on regenerative medicine with stem cell pioneer Dr. Greg Smith, the World Strength Games illustrates that strength isn't just about muscle—it's about pushing limits in every aspect of human performance.Guest Russell Anderson, Founder of the World Strength Games.

Stories of superhuman strength feel like urban legends, but there are many real life examples, in fact The Hulk was inspired by one witnessed by it's creator. We have stories of a mother lifting a two tonne car for five minutes to save her child, a 72 year old man lifting three times the world record, and a woman taking on a polar bear to save a group of children. Is this phenomena paranormal, or can science explain it. We investigate. Join us at patreon.com/TQMpod for ad free eps, exclusives and much more.
In 1982 Angela Cavallo lifted a Chevy Impala off her son after it fell off a jack, this was't an isolated incident and there have been many examples of people demonstrating superhuman strength. How are some regular people capable of amazing feats of superhuman strength ? I lift the lid on the evolutionary origins of super human strength, and show how the nervous system, the hormone system and the muscles are all involved. I also look at how our ancestors developed a survival toolkit which literally allowed them to flee danger and I look at the role of adrenaline plays in facilitating superhuman strength. Plus I find out of we're all capable of demonstrating superhuman strength.

VTDigger is re-releasing some of our favorite interviews of the past decade to mark the 10th anniversary of The Vermont Conversation.This Vermont Conversation with Alison Bechdel was originally published in May 2021.Alison Bechdel is obsessed. Her passion is exercise — karate, cycling, running, skiing in all its forms, to name a few of her pursuits. This obsession is the focus of Bechdel's new graphic memoir, The Secret to Superhuman Strength. A New York Times book review declares, “This is a true delight of graphic literature, and nobody does it better. You feel as if you're peering through a plexiglass panel right into Bechdel's marvelous brain. … [It is] a nearly perfect book.”Bechdel has been cartoonist laureate of Vermont and a recipient of a MacArthur genius award. She garnered a cult following with her early comic strip, “Dykes to Watch Out For.” Her best-selling graphic memoir, Fun Home, was adapted into a Tony Award-winning musical. Fun Home tells the story of growing up in a family that ran a funeral home, and how after Bechdel came out as a lesbian, her closeted gay father died in a presumed suicide. The cartoonist is also known for the Bechdel Test, which rates movies on whether they include at least one scene in which two women talk to each other about something other than men.Bechdel runs, skis and bikes from her home in West Bolton, which she shares with her partner Holly Rae Taylor, who is the colorist for her new book.
The artist Chantal Joffe picks I Capture The Castle, the English classic by Dodie Smith. Set in 1930s rural England, it relates the adventures of an eccentric family over the course of about a year. It's a book Chantal has come back to again and again, ever since she was a teenager. Séamas O'Reilly champions the Irish novel, A Goat's Song by Dermot Healy, which he argues deserves to be more widely known. And Harriett Gilbert recommends a graphic memoir by the cartoonist Alison Bechdel, called The Secret to Superhuman Strength.Chantal Joffe is an artist known for her often larger-than-life-sized paintings, of women and children in particular, which have been shown in solo exhibitions around the world. Séamas O'Reilly is a columnist for the Observer whose memoir is Did Ye Hear Mammy Die.Comment on instagram: @agoodreadbbc Produced by Eliza Lomas for BBC Audio

Over the past decade, today's guest Ian Mitchell has developed a series of novel therapeutics using lipoic conjugates and holds multiple patents across the host of different scientific disciplines, such as nanomedicine and materials science. He holds joint patents with the University of Tulsa for personalized cancer screening technology and personalized cell culture media for both laboratory and clinical settings, an antiviral therapeutic and recently developed the first viable gamma ray shielding system for use on spacecraft and in space habitats, as well as a carbon negative concrete to inhibit greenhouse gas proliferation. He's also the lead scientist at Wizard Sciences, Polymath in residence at Ecliptic Capital, and Scientific Advisor for Lila Quantum. In this third conversation on the podcast, we talk about a number of brain bending topics, such as my recent visit to his mind-blowing lab out in Tulsa and the stuff we saw there, like his fireproofing technology, oxygen water, carbon negative concrete, and the really crazy hyperbaric oxygen chamber he built by himself. We talk in depth about something called C60, which can help with free radical damage from EMF. Ian shares his take on global warming, biohacking supplements that are actually needle movers, and advice for earthing and grounding. We also spend some time talking about his innovative treatments for dementia, why he thinks Alzheimer's is totally treatable, and he explains how scientists are making strides on age regression. We talk about why he finally created his own brand Wizard Sciences, and precisely why these products, Wizard Water, Neural Rx, Olympic Rx, and Vortex Rx, are so damn effective. Needless to say, Ian is a brainiac of the highest order. But what I really like about him and the many conversations we've shared is that he also has a huge heart. And that, my friends, is a great combination for any human being. Finally, Ian makes some of my very favorite, most unique products.

In this show we're getting to grips with graphic novels. What's the history of this kind of storytelling? What narrative possibilities does the form open up? We first explored this theme with the artist Nick Hayes all the way back in 2014 before this show was even a podcast, and we're returning to it now because our guest this month is the writer and artist Lizzy Stewart, whose debut graphic novel Alison was published this year. Alison is a subtle and beautiful story of a young woman who leaves her marriage and her rural life in Dorset for a much older, more sophisticated and famous painter in 1970s London. There she learns to find her own artistic voice, and reflects on a life lived in art. Listen in for a discussion of the graphic novels we love, the joys of the form, and all the usual reading recommendations.

In today's conversation, Tracie recounts how the meditation practice that is part of her karate class–and the transcendence that has eventually come with it–is a growing edge for her. It validated something April has known and been teaching for a while – that spiritual work is not divorced from justice work. In fact, spirituality, healing, and well-being are integral to justice work. Interested in joining our Grounded & Growing, Shift Your Life in 60 Days cohort, or any of our other programs?

Today's episode features a special friend who has been an important part of my life for over a decade. We are discussing sustainable agriculture, climate change, and more! Join us! Judith Redmond has been a farmer for over 30 years. She is one of the founders and owners of Full Belly Farm in the beautiful Capay Valley of northern California. In addition to overseeing 400 acres and 80 different crops, Judith has run their CSA (community-supported agriculture) program and managed the weekly Farmer's Market. With many hands-on tasks, Judith is also part of the regulatory compliance effort and helps oversee the financial and business operations at the farm. She understands the larger issues and the importance of sustainable agriculture, along with facing the challenges of wildfires and drought in the midst of their Mediterranean climate. Judith explains what it's like to be a farmer in the era of COVID and what organic agriculture can offer to help mitigate climate change and move us forward. Show Highlights: How Judith was inspired by her grandfather to become a farmer How Full Belly Farms began when four farmers came together in 1989 with a desire to produce organic food How the farm has grown and expanded to include 80 different crops, flowers, chickens, and sheep How the farm is forward-thinking in the “fertility” of the farm through composting and cover crops, all in an effort to return carbon to the soil How the pandemic challenges demonstrated that the local food system was there to help people when the mainstream food industry failed Why Judith considers farming a form of activism How community-supported agriculture works How the relationship works between fertile soil and microbes, so the groundwater is not tainted with water-soluble fertilizers Why farmers need to take risks, learn new techniques, and be willing to constantly adapt to meet the challenges of the pandemic, wildfires, and climate change How Judith has moved into a transition time toward retirement from full-time farming and working more with nonprofit organizations Why community, communication, and collaboration are important to Judith What Judith is working on right now What it means to Judith to live in her purpose Hear Judith's answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding habits, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, an inspiring person, something people might not know, what she's reading, and what's bringing her joy right now.

The fitness industry has exploded into a nearly $100 billion sector, and Alison Bechdel is among the exercise-obsessed. Bechdel, the cartoonist whose comic strip inspired the Bechdel Test for female representation in Hollywood, says she has found transcendence in everything from yoga and karate to weight lifting and biking. Her book, “The Secret to Superhuman Strength,” came out in May and examines the exercise craze, and what it exposes about our attitudes around self-care, the booming fitness economy and even our mortality.This week, Kara revisits her conversation with Bechdel — one of her favorites from this year. They discuss the evolution of workout culture (“yoga boom” included), the politics of art (especially during the Trump era) and how mainstream cultural norms have finally caught up to, as Bechdel puts it, “where lesbians were back in the '80s.”Kara will be back on Monday with a new episode.You can find more information for all episodes at nytimes.com/sway, and you can find Kara on Twitter @karaswisher.
Comics and cultural superstar Alison Bechdel is back and once again her new graphic memoir is “The Secret to Superhuman Strength.”

Alison Bechdel is obsessed. Her passion is exercise – karate, cycling, running, skiing in all its forms, to name a few of her pursuits. This obsession is the focus of Bechdel's new graphic memoir, The Secret to Superhuman Strength. A New York Times book review declares, “This is a true delight of graphic literature, and nobody does it better. You feel as if you're peering through a plexiglass panel right into Bechdel's marvelous brain…[It is] a nearly perfect book.” Bechdel has been cartoonist laureate of Vermont and a recipient of a MacArthur genius award. She garnered a cult following with her early comic strip, "Dykes to Watch Out For." Her best selling graphic memoir, Fun Home, was adapted into a Tony Award-winning musical. Fun Home tells the story of growing up in a family that ran a funeral home, and how after Bechdel came out as a lesbian, her closeted gay father died in a presumed suicide. The cartoonist is also known for the Bechdel Test, which rates movies on whether they include at least one scene in which two women talk to each other about something other than men. Bechdel runs, skis and bikes from her home in West Bolton, Vermont, which she shares with her partner Holly Rae Taylor, who is the colorist for her new book.
This week, comics and cultural superstar Alison Bechdel is back with a new graphic novel. Once again she has reinvented memoir, as she did with “Fun Home”, this time by telling her life story decade by decade through the lens of her lifelong obsession with exercise. Her new graphic memoir is “The Secret to Superhuman Strength.” (more…)
As readers, we often fall into a bubble of reading the same type of book over and over, and our hosts are no stranger to that, which is why during this episode Ryan, Hillary, and Kelso temporarily set aside the Sci-Fi, the Fantasy, the Horror, the Queer Lit, and instead recommend "anything but fiction"!

Mark Ottobre is the owner and founder of Enterprise Fitness in Melbourne, Victoria.He's a trainer of champions and the reason I love superheroes. Creator of Wolfpack which I can proudly say I was the first coach he called to be a part of back in 2016. His mission is to raise the standards of trainers in the health and fitness industry and is certainly leading the way. He's the reason I reconnected to using “Personal Trainer” with pride.He was a big influence on me in my early days as a coach. I had all the passion, but lacked the business and structure to be successful at what I do. All heart, but no hope, until I got the call from Mark to take part in his Wolfpack Mentorship Program. Mark has been very open in sharing that he was once upon a time the fat kid in school until he found a love for weight training in high school that transformed his life and it's safe to say he hasn't looked back. Now he's leading the way and is a massive influence on the next generation of health and fitness leaders. He has raised the stakes and expectations of what and how a trainer can change your life. And in this episode we talk about superheroes, plus what he does to collect his thoughts and how he's managed to summon his superhuman strength in times when he needed it. Enjoy! And share the love and comments below. If you'd like to connect with Mark, you can easily find him on FB, IG, YouTube and he has his own podcast “The Wolf's Den” where you can tune in to his great work.
