In Episode 202, Susie (@NovelVisits) and Sarah explore some of their new favorite Micro Genres. Since starting the Micro Genres series, they've loved taking the opportunity each year to examine and define their tastes in these sub-sub-genres. This year, they have curated a list of 10 all-new Micro Genres, along with notable books for each category. With over 80 books mentioned, this is another year of niching down for some great book recommendations!

Don't sell yourself short. Get in the rough waters today and help rescue people.

The 2025 World Championships are in the books, and we've got takes. Who delivered, who flopped, and what the heck happened to all those prelims relay lineups? John and Luke kick off the recap with taper talk and a few questionable Masters training choices before diving deep into the biggest storylines from Singapore: Summer McIntosh's incredible meet and emotional rollercoaster, Léon Marchand's stunning 1:52 200 IM, David Popovici's last-50 death blows, and USA's medley world record rebound. We break down our picks for: * Individual swim of the meet (Yes, it's who you think… but we explain why) * Race of the meet (Spoiler: That 800 free was as epic as advertised) * Swimmer of the meet (and what happens if we don't split by gender?) * Biggest surprise (Some swims sucked… others, just stunning) * Relay of the meet (Hint: Uncensored relay takes inside) * Newcomer spotlight (12-year-old medalist? Say what?) Plus: we rant about USA Swimming's late 50-stroke bandwagon, float ideas for an unattached all-star relay, and wonder whether World Aquatics' anthem actually slaps. Let us know what we missed. What was your swim of the meet?

Send us a textWelcome to celebrate creativity - pisode 423 - Poe the SwimmerI am going to be taking some time off from this podcast - I think I have had almost 30 episodes in the past month - and devote the time to just doing podcasts and doing them right - with the sound effects and some really fascinating subjects.  As of today this podcast has had almost 23,000 downloads in nearly 100 countries and territories.  Now for today - well, this episode is largely made up of content from an earlier podcast episode of celebrate Poe - and the information makes up the most downloaded episode by far in the series.  When I started celebrate poe - now celebrate creativity - I expected maybe a handful of downloads at the most - but am amazed at how many people are interested in Edgar Alan Poe, his works, and his times - and now other areas of creativity.Today's podcast is about Poe's swimming across the James River when he was just fifteen - some say sixteen - years old.  We don't have a great deal of documentation regarding that accomplishment, but the few sentences that were written regarding Poe's accomplishment at the time show us a physical side of the writer - and even his character - that we very often overlook.   You know, when you do a podcast the subject stays on your mind, but you have to be careful - at least I do - that you don't start talking about a subject in conversation that nobody else is interested in.  I know I could talk about Poe all day, but I could just see - ok, I have experienced it - people tactfully changing the subject because I am the only person who is interested in some little seemingly insignificant detail about Poe.  But I have never been with a group that is not fascinated - in some way - by Poe's long distance swimming accomplishments.  I mean, how many people can say they have swum 6 or 7 miles without stopping - all against the tide.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

We sit down with Nancy Hogshead and discuss her journey of becoming an Olympic Swimmer that won 3 gold medals and a silver in the '84 Olympics.  Swimming 800 laps per day in training, elite coaching, and a supportive family helped her get the first swimming scholarship at Duke University.  After obtaining her law degree and practicing law for many years, she started Champion Women which helps support women in sports which she still runs today.  She shares with us parenting advice as well as a traumatic event she endured and how she overcame it and used that event to fuel her passion for helping drive change with women in sports.  This is one you can't miss!Website: https://www.grit.org/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNYFCl9ZQw6opYuNsm48euwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gritdotorg/?igshid=NzNkNDdiOGI%3DTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@grit.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Gritdotorg/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/grit-org

Podcast Summary (Apple/Spotify-style):In this sizzling summer edition of The Jay Thomas Show on AM 970 and FM 93.1 WDAY, Jay fires up the mics for a wild ride across Fargo, Pelican Lake, and beyond. From new jail beds in Cass County to an itchy situation involving ducks and swimmers at Pelican Lake, no topic is off-limits. Jay and Ronnie also dive into a jaw-dropping scandal in Benson County, get serious about wildfire smoke, and unleash the funniest prank call you'll hear this year. A parade of local guests joins the show to talk public safety, swimmer's itch science, community food drives, and why dumping bleach in a lake might not be the best solution (spoiler: it's not). This episode's a mix of public service, investigative insight, listener hilarity, and Jay's signature no-holds-barred radio banter. If you enjoy laughing while learning about your community (and the occasional roast of merganser ducks), this episode's for you.

What happens when a world-class swimmer turned professional cyclist discovers that her biggest performance barrier wasn't training - it was nutrition?In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Dani, an accredited practicing dietitian and professional cyclist who competed at 4 World Championships and 2 Pan Pacific Games as a swimmer. After struggling with recurring injuries, illnesses, and the dreaded "bonk" during training, Dani made a shocking discovery: she wasn't fueling her body properly.From getting sick every second month as a swimmer to now thriving in the European cycling peloton, Dani shares her transformation story and breaks down the science behind optimal endurance nutrition. You'll learn about REDs (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), why the "leaner equals faster" mentality is destroying athletes, and practical strategies for fueling your training and racing.Key Topics Covered:The real story behind recurring sports injuriesREDs: What it is and why it's more common than you thinkCarb loading done right (spoiler: it's not pasta all week)Pre, during, and post-training nutrition strategiesManaging GI distress during long sessionsWhy fasted training isn't recommended for female athletesReal-world fueling strategies from a pro cyclist (17-20 hours/week training)Whether you're a weekend warrior or aspiring pro, this conversation will revolutionize how you think about food as your most powerful performance tool."Food is fuel—it's like petrol to a car. You can put all your effort into training, but your adaptations happen after training with your food and recovery." - Dani---Follow Dani: @dani.de.dietitianBook an appointment with Dabi: https://www.pogophysio.com.au/book-now/Follow Bruna: @justbrunathingsFollow Fabi: @endurance_fabi

Spending time in and around our lakes is a quintessential part of being a Madisonian –we are on an isthmus after all. But pollutants like agricultural runoff, road salt, and chemicals are threatening the well-being of our waters. Beach closures have become increasingly common throughout the summer. And it's more than just swimmers and boaters who lose out when the beaches shut down. Our city misses out on millions of dollars in potential economic benefits. To understand these costs and what's being done to help protect and study our lakes, we spoke with Cap Times investigative reporter Danielle DuClos.

**Discussion begins at 5:15**In the 1970s and 80s, the USSR had a dedicated branch of the navy researching “anomalous phenomena”, which used Soviet submarines to track USOs in the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea, Lake Baikal, and the Arctic Ocean.  These objects allegedly moved at impossible speeds, changed directions instantly, and were seen emerging from or diving into the water without creating splash disturbances.  Then, in 2009, a number of documents related to the USSR research into UFOs/USOs revealed the story of the Lake Baikal swimmers.  There were declassified reports that 7 Navy divers on a training mission in Lake Blaikal, the world's oldest and deepest lake, had encountered mysterious humanoid beings underwater.  These figures, which came to be known as the Baikal Swimmers, were 9-10 feet tall, wearing tight silver suits with umbrella like helmets on their heads, but lacked scuba gear or breathing apparati.  The divers told their superiors who instructed them to capture one.  The divers again made contact with these acquatic beings, but failed to capture one as  a sudden and powerful force allegedly repelled them.  As a result, the divers all were propelled to the surface and leading them all to suffer from decompression sickness.  Three of the divers died as a result.  But what were the swimmers really?   Extraterrestrial?  Unknown sea creature? – perhaps one of the many species endemic only to Lake Baikal..  Or is this another urban legend gone viral?  Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

Swimmer's itch is a rash you can get from swimming in lakes, so researchers working in the Great Lakes have tried to eradicate it by treating ducks that carry the parasite that causes it. Nothing has worked, and people have started thinking about the problem of swimmer's itch differently. It has been five years since a Pennsylvania grand jury report slammed state regulators for not protecting residents from the impacts of fracking. Advocates want Governor Josh Shapiro to do more.
