AI has become inescapable over the past years, with the technology being integrated into tools that most people use every day. This has raised some important questions about the associated risks and benefits related to AI. Those developing software and services that include AI are also coming under increasing scrutiny, from both consumers and legislators, regarding the transparency of their tools. This ranges from how safe they are to use to where the training data for their systems originates from. This is especially true of already heavily regulated industries, such as the financial sector. Today's guest saw the writing on the wall while developing their unique AI software, that helps the financial sector detect fraud, and got a jump start on becoming accredited to the world's first best practice Standard for AI, ISO 42001 AI Management. In this episode, Mel Blackmore is joined by Rachel Churchman, The Global Head of GRC at Umony, to discuss their journey towards ISO 42001 certification, including the key drivers, lessons learned, and benefits gained from implementation.    You'll learn ·      Who is Rachel? ·      Who are Umony? ·      Why did Umony want to implement ISO 42001? ·      What were the key drivers behind gaining ISO 42001 certification? ·      How long did it take to implement ISO 42001? ·      What was the biggest gap identified during the Gap Analysis? ·      What did Umony learn from implementing ISO 42001? ·      What difference did bridging this gap make? ·      What are the main benefits of ISO 42001? ·      The importance of accredited certification ·      Rachel's top tip for ISO 42001 Implementation   Resources ·      Umony ·      Isologyhub   In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – Mel is joined by Rachel Churchman, The Global Head of GRC at Umony, to explore their journey towards ISO 42001 certification. [02:15] Who is Rachel?: Rachel Churchman is currently The Global Head of GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) at Umony, however keen listeners to the show may recognise her as she was once a part of the Blackmores team. She originally created the ISO 42001 toolkit for us while starting the Umony project under Blackmores but made the switch from consultant to client during the project. [04:15] Who are Umony? Umony operate in the financial services industry. For context, in that industry every form of communication matters, and there are regulatory requirements for firms to capture, archive and supervise all business communications. That covers quite a lot! From phone calls, to video calls, instant messaging etc, and failures to capture that info can lead to fines. Umony are a compliance technology company operating within the financial services space, and provide a platform that can capture all that communications data and store that securely. [05:55] Why did Umony embark on their ISO 42001 journey? Umony have recently developed an AI platform call CODA, which uses advanced AI to review all communications to detect financial risks such as market abuse, fraud or other misconduct. This will flag those potential high-risk communications to a human to continue the process. The benefit of this is that rather than financial institutions only being able to monitor a very small set of communications due to it being a very labour intensive task, this AI system would allow for monitoring of 100% of communications with much more ease. Ultimately, it's taking communications capture from reactive compliance to proactive oversight. [08:15] Led by industry professionals: Umony have quite the impressive advisory board, made up of both regulatory compliance personnel as well as AI technology experts. This includes the likes of Dr.Thomas Wolfe, Co-Founder of Hugging Face, former Chief Compliance Officer at JP Morgan and the CEO of the FCA. [09:00] What were the key drivers behind obtaining ISO 42001 certification? Originally, Rachel had been working for Blackmores to assist Umony with their ISO 27001:2022 transition back in early 2024. At the time, they had just started to develop their AI platform CODA. Rachel learned about what they were developing and mentioned that a new Standard was recently published to address AI specifically. After some discussion, Umony felt that ISO 42001 would be greatly beneficial as it took a proactive approach to effective AI management. While they were still in the early stages of creating CODA they wanted to utilise best practice Standards to ensure that the responsible and ethical development of this new AI system. When compared to ISO 27001, ISO 42001 provided more of a secure development lifecycle and was a better fit for CODA as it explores AI risks in particular. These risks include considerations for things like transparency of data, risk of bias and other ethical risks related to AI. At the time, no one was asking for companies to be certified to ISO 42001, so it wasn't a case of industry pressure for Umony, they simply knew that this was the right thing to do. Rachel was keen to sink her teeth into the project because the Standard was so new that Umony would be early adopters. It was so new, that certification bodies weren't even accredited to the Standard when they were implementing the Standard. [12:20] How long did it take to get ISO 42001 certified? Rachel started working with Anna Pitt-Stanley, COO of Umony, around April 2024. However the actual project work didn't start until October 2024, Umony already had a fantastic head start with ISO 27001 in place, and so project completion wrapped up around July of 2025. They had their pre-assessment with BSI in July, which Rachel considered a real value add for ISO 42001 as it gave them more information from the assessors point of view for what they were looking for in the Management System. This then led onto Stage 1 in August 2025 and Stage 2 in early September 2025. That is an unusually short period of time between a Stage 1 & 2, but they were in remarkably good shape at the end of Stage 1 and could confidently tackle Stage 2 in quick succession. The BSI technical audit finished at the end of September, so in total from start to finish the Implementation of ISO 42001 took just under 12 months. [15:50] What was the biggest gap identified during the Gap Analysis? A lot of the AI specific requirements were completely new to this Standard, so processes and documentation relating to things like 'AI Impact Assessment' had to be put in place. ISO 42001 includes an Annex A which details a lot of the AI related technical controls, these are unique to this Standard, so their current ISO 27001 certification didn't cover these elements. These weren't unexpected gaps, the biggest surprise to Rachel was the concept of an AI life cycle. This concept and its related objectives underpin the whole management system and its aims. It covers the utilisation or development of AI all the way through to the retirement of an AI system. It's not a standalone process and differs from ISO 27001's secure development life cycle, which is a contained subset of controls. ISO 42001's AI life cycle in comparison is integrated throughout the entire process and is a main driver for the management system.   [19:30] What difference did bridging this gap make? After Umony understood the AI life cycle approach and how it applied to everything, it made implementing the Standard a lot easier. It became the golden thread that ran through the entire management system. They were building into an existing ISMS, and as a result it created a much more holistic management system. It also helped with the internal auditing, as you can't take a process approach to auditing in ISO 42001 because controls can't be audited in isolation.   [21:30] What did Umony learn from Implementing ISO 42001? Rachel in particular learned a lot, not just with ISO 42001 but with AI itself. AI is new to a lot of people, herself included, and it can be difficult to distinguish what is considered a risk or opportunity regarding AI. In reality, it's very much a mix of the two. There's a lot of risk around data transparency, bias and data poisoning as well as new risks popping up all the time due to the developing technology. There's also a creeping issue of shadow IT, which is where employees may use hardware of software that hasn't been verified or validated by the company. For example, many people have their own Chat GPT accounts, but do you have oversight of what emplyees may be putting into that AI tool to help with their own tasks? On a more positive note, there are so many opportunities that AI can provide. Whether that's productivity, helping people focus more on the strategic elements of their role or reduction of tedious tasks. Umony is a great example of where an AI has been developed to serve a very specific purpose, preventing or highlighting potential fraud in a highly regulated industry. They're not the only one, with many others developing equally crucial AI systems to tackle some of our most labour-intensive tasks. In terms of experience with Implementing ISO 42001, Rachel feels it cemented her opinion that an ISO Standard provides a best practice framework that is the right way to go about managing AI in an organisation. Whether you're developing it, using it or selling it, ISO 42001 puts in place the right guardrails to make sure that AI is used responsibly, ethically, and that people understand the risks and opportunities associated with AI. [26:30] What benefits were gained from Implementing ISO 42001? The biggest benefit is having those AI related processes in place, regardless of if you go for certification. Umony in particular were keen to ensure that their certification was accredited, as this is a recognised certification. With Umony being part of such a regulated industry, it made sense that this was a high priority. As a result, they went with BSI as their Certification Body, who were one of the first CB's in the UK to get IAF accredited, quickly followed by UKAS accreditation. [27:55] The Importance of accredited certification: Sadly, a new Standard creates a lot of tempting offers from cowboy certification bodies that operate without a recognised accreditation. They will offer a very quick and cheap route to certification, usually provided through a generic management system which isn't reflective of how you work. Their certificate will also not hold up to scrutiny as it's not accredited with any recognisable body. For the UK this is UKAS, who is the only body in the UK under the IAF that is able to certify companies to be able to provide a valid accredited certificate. There's are easily available tools to help identify if a certificate is accredited or not, so it's best to go through the proper channels in the first place! Other warning signs of cowboy companies to look out for include: ·      Off the shelf Management system provided for a fee ·      Offering of both consultancy and certification services – no accredited CB can provide both to a client, as this is a conflict of interest. ·      A 5 – 10 year contract It's vital that you use an accredited Certification Body, as they will leave no stone unturned when evaluating your Management System. They are there to help you, not judge you, and will ensure that you have the upmost confidence in your management system once you've passed assessment. Umony were pleased to have only received 1 minor non-conformity through the entire assessment process. A frankly astounding result for such a new and complex Standard! [32:15] Rachel's top tip: Firstly, get a copy of the Standard. Unlike a lot of other Standards where you have to buy another Standard to understand the first one, ISO 42001 provides all that additional guidance in its annexes.   Annex B in particular is a gold mine for knowledge in understanding how to implement the technical controls required for ISO 42001. It also points towards other helpful supporting Standards as well, that cover aspects like AI risks and AI life cycle in more detail. Rachel's second tip is: You need to scope out your Management System before you start diving into the creation of the documentation. This scoping process is much more in-depth for ISO 42001 than with other ISO Standards as it gets you to understand your role from an AI perspective. It helps determine whether you're an AI user, producer or provider, it also gets you to understand what the management system is going to cover. This creates your baseline for the AI life cycle and AI risk profile. These you need to get right from the start, as they guide the entire management system. If you've already got an ISO Standard in place, you cannot simply re-use the existing scope, as it will be different for ISO 42001. If you're struggling, CB's like BSI can help you with this. [35:20] Rachel's Podcast recommendation: Diary of a CEO with Stephen Bartlett. [32:15] Rachel's favourite quote: "What's the worst that can happen?" – An extract from a Dale Carnegie course, where the full quote is: "First ask yourself what is the worst that can happen? Then, you prepare to accept it and then proceed to improve on the worst."

Send us a textThis episode looks at three giants of American Literature who all wrote about the struggles of forgotten America. One of them, Mark Twain, is considered the Father of American Literature. John Steinbeck is known for sharing six practical writing tips in a letter to a friend in 1962. These rules prioritize flow, discipline, and authenticity over immediate perfection: Focus on the daily work: Write one page each day instead of thinking about the entire length.Write the first draft rapidly and freely: Avoid correcting or rewriting until the entire draft is complete to maintain flow and rhythm.Imagine a single, specific reader: Address your writing to one person you know or imagine, rather than a general audience.Bypass difficult scenes: Skip troublesome sections and return to them later; they may not fit the overall work.Be willing to cut favorites: Be cautious of scenes you are overly fond of, as they may be "out of drawing" or not fit the overall piece.Read dialogue aloud: Speak dialogue out as you write it to make it sound like natural speech. Steinbeck also highlighted the importance of discipline and persistence. He viewed writing as a "clumsy attempt to find symbols for the wordlessness". Thomas Wolfe, the novelist (1900–1938), is primarily known for his voluminous, autobiographical fiction. His editor, Maxwell Perkins, heavily shaped his sprawling manuscripts into publishable novels like Look Homeward, Angel. The "writing tips" associated with Thomas Wolfe often relate to his personal habits and the nature of his expansive, autobiographical style. Here are the key takeaways regarding Thomas Wolfe's approach to writing:Write everything, use everything. Embrace the "flood" of language.Trust your instincts over convention. Establish a consistent routineWriting is life. Wolfe's legacy is one of a "splendid failure" in terms of self-editing and structure, but a master of language, description, and the power of memory in autobiographical fiction. Mark Twain, the Father of American Literature: Mark Twain's writing tips emphasize clarity, simplicity, and revision, encouraging writers to prioritize the reader's experience above all else. His advice often uses humor and sharp wit to make memorable points about avoiding common writing pitfalls. Here are key writing tips attributed to Mark Twain: .Use plain, simple language"Kill" adjectives (most of them)"Use the right word, not its second cousin"Show, don't tellRewrite and revise: Writing is an iterative process.Start writing after you finishEnsure dialogue sounds humanMake all episodes and characters necessary.Avoid clichés and "stage directions" in dialogue:Write without pay (initially): He advised aspiring writers to "write without pay until somebody offers pay. If nobody offers within three years, the candidate may look upon this circumstance with the most implicit confidence as the sign that sawing wood is what he was intended for".  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

"The ambitious artist, the artist who wanted Success, now had to do a bit of psychological double-tracking. Consciously he had to dedicate himself to the antibourgeois values of the cenacles of whatever sort, to bohemia, to the Bloomsbury life, the Left Bank life, the Lower Broadway Loft life, to the sacred squalor of it all... Not only that, he had to dedicate himself to the quirky god Avant-Garde. He had to keep one devout eye peeled for the new edge on the blade of the wedge of the head on the latest pick thrust of the newest exploratory probe of this fall's avant-garde Breakthrough of the Century ... all this in order to make it, to be noticed, to be counted, within the community of artists themselves. What is more, he had to be sincere about it. At the same time he had to keep his other eye cocked to see if anyone in le monde was watching. Have they noticed me yet? Have they even noticed the new style (that me and my friends are working in) Don't they even know about Tensionism (or Slice Art or Niho or Innerism or Dimensional Creamo or whatever)? (Hello, out there!) ... because as every artist knew in his heart of hearts, no matter how many times he tried to close his eyes and pretend otherwise (History! History!-where is thy salve?), Success was real only when it was success within le monde. He could close his eyes and try to believe that all that mattered was that he knew his work was great ... and that other artists respected it ... and that History would surely record his achievements ... but deep down he knew he was lying to himself. I want to be a Name, goddamn it!" - Thomas Wolfe, The Painted Word " Sylvia, didn't you see me wave my zen stick?" - Walter Paisley

Vanessa Stockard recently visited the podcast for the 3rd time!Vanessa Stockard was born in 1975 in Sydney and spent her formative years in a small country town in the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. At 12 she returned to Sydney as a boarder at Abbotsleigh. After graduating from the College of Fine Arts (COFA) Sydney in 1998 with a BFA, Stockard launched head first into the avant-garde art scene in the bohemian village of Glebe.Stockard is one of the most dangerous artists on the Australian, and by extension, international scene. Her ethereal works of art are a window into the soul of a talented and complex artist, one whose legacy is bound to resonate well past her generation. The existential nature of her painting viscerally questions our concepts of social relationships and reality.Twenty years of introspection and experimentation, ranging over a number of media, have forged Vanessa's style and vulcanised her craft, enabling her to reveal complex misdemeanours, while simultaneously demanding the viewer's self-reflection. She deals with isolation and sadness with intimate care and attention.Vanessa is unhindered by failure, always continuing the discovery of things previously unseen, revealing work that is fresh, unlaboured and penetrating. The deceptive everyday nature of her subject matter belies hidden depths of relationship, feeling and emotion. One could describe her process as absence of thought, a freedom of construct, not unlike the stream of consciousness associated with authors such as Hemmingway and Thomas Wolfe.If light and shade were students, she would be their master. This skill, combined with a naturally deft hand and a determined use of perspective, imbue her subjects with gravitas. The artist refers to set design elements that often alter and morph as her piece progresses. She has said she feels grounded from her ability to draw from the benign surrounds of familiar life, infusing these images with a meaning that yields a meditative satisfaction.Stockard's oeuvre features many pieces developed without any direct visual reference but rather from memory, often incorporating domestic pets such as cats and dogs. Juxtaposing the anthropomorphic nature these animals are given by our society, she infuses the personification of virtue and vice into the everyday canine and feline status quo of our pets. Cats with their fluffy comical exteriors glint with an instinctive urge to kill and cruelly torment their prey, dogs with their providence of happiness, loyalty and friendship are flung back onto Churchill's menacing metaphor for depression.The Kafkaesque mindset behind such works is reminiscent of the existentialist authors like Sartre and Camus. Absurdism appears with cake imagery and its relation to a childlike nostalgia for happiness which may never be real, but rather imaginary, unattainable and unachievable. It's been said “pain is inexhaustible, it's only people who get exhausted…”One can never “have it all”, to be both the artist and patron. To intrinsically understand those things around us that others overlook is what we want from our artists, our creatives. They give voice to the profound mystery of the world around us, surrounded as we are with consumerism, pointless greed, deceit and dissatisfaction. There's no pretension here in these paintings, just spontaneous insight and beauty. Some art is said to speak volumes, but these works are more like innocent and delicate poems, whispering untold truths with an economy of words.Something Rather Than Nothing Podcast

I'm Josh Cooperman and this is Convo By Design with a conversation about going home. You've heard the old adage, you can't go home again. Derived from the Thomas Wolfe novel published in 1940, posthumously. It's true, you can't go home again because so much changes in your absence. I went home recently to Manhattan Beach. It's true things change, but not everything and sometimes, change is good. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Monogram - It's the details that define Monogram ThermaSol - Redefining the modern shower experience. Without steam, it's just a bathroom. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home!  - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep I love Manhattan Beach. One of the things I missed most after we moved to Oklahoma was walking down the greenbelt with kids and  getting dinner in downtown MB followed by a trip to the Creamery for an ice cream sandwich the likes of which you just can't find anywhere else. While there, I stopped into Brewco to speak with Michael Zislis, restaurateur, developer, hotelier and MB devotee. So much so, that through his restaurant and hotel development, has almost singlehandedly reshaped the city for the better over the past 30 years. We talked about the redevelopment of Brewco, an eatery on Manhattan Beach Boulevard and an iconic spot for those who've lived there or those who've come to visit. you're going to hear that and then, you are going to hear from Noelle Isbell, Manhattan Beach designer who took on the Brewco project in amazing fashion, called her shot and delivered a spot that is representative of Manhattan Beach's past, present and future. Turns out, you can go home again. Even if it's not exactly the same. If you love design, you are going to love this story. If you are a designer, this is how you go and get that project you have always wanted. And you are going to hear all about it, right after this. Thank you, Noelle and Michael, thank you for creating something that makes me feel at home!. Thank you to my partner sponsors, ThermaSol, Pacific Sales, TimberTech, Monogram and Design Hardware.

Norman Corwin was twenty-seven years old when he was hired by CBS in April of 1938. For three years he honed his craft on shows like Words Without Music, The Pursuit of Happiness, So This is Radio and Forecast. In 1941 he was tasked with taking over The Columbia Workshop for twenty-six weeks. These plays are today known as “Twenty-Six By Corwin.” They ranged from whimsy, to romance, to high drama, to coming of age tales. CBS refused to offer the series up for sponsorship. Corwin's programs weren't about revenue, they were about advancing the medium itself. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor and Manilla on December 7th, 1941, Corwin penned a play in honor of the 150th anniversary of The Bill of Rights. It was at the behest of President Roosevelt. The play was called “We Hold These Truths,” and broadcast on December 15th. Simultaneously heard on all four networks, sixty-million tuned in. It was at that time, the largest ratings share of any dramatic program ever. By 1944 Corwin had free rein over his productions. The Workshop essentially became branded as Columbia Presents Corwin. Corwin had previously adapted Carl Sandburg's The People, Yes three times. At 8PM over CBS on D-Day, Corwin presented the first in An American Trilogy on Carl Sandburg featuring Charles Laughton. The following two weeks he'd present part two on Thomas Wolfe and part three on Walt Whitman. Opposite, NBC broadcast a special version of the Ginny Simms show.

Our theme of ‘returning home' explores not just the physical place but also a reflection of our identities, memories, and the tension between the past and the present. Returning to one's roots is often fraught with challenges and our understanding of home is deeply intertwined with our personal growth and the changing world around us. This week we'll be pouring through memories and nostalgia to try to find the meaning of home. Thomas Wolfe's “You Can't Go Home Again” introduces characters who yearn for their pasts and the comforts of home, but the reality often falls short of their memories and would serve as a guidepost for our theme today. We'll share gospel from the Gospel Hummingbirds, classic Americana from John Prine, country tradition from Hank Williams and Woody Guthrie, and the likes of Howlin' Wolf, Big Maybelle, and Bruce Springsteen. We're heading down that road to home in today's show.

(Apologies to Thomas Wolfe)    Join your hosts James and Joe for a special Comics Corner, as they explore a somewhat forgotten period in the publishing history of Green Lantern! And stick around as the guys review the remarkable careers of Len and Dave. You might be surprised.

Published in fall 1934 in the Saturday Evening Post, "Her Last Case" is one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most important stories about the South. Indeed, it challenges consensus opinions about the writer's regard for the region that the Tarleton stories of the 1920s set. Far from a pastoral evocation of antebellum gentility, the story insists the South must exorcise its lingering obsession with the Lost Cause---and it does so through a variety of Gothic strum und drang featuring the literal book that named the South's revisionary insistence that the Civil War was fought to preserve a code of chivalry, Edward A. Pollard's The Lost Cause: A New Southern History of the War of the Confederates (1868). The setting for the story is equally important: Fitzgerald was inspired by a visit to the Middleburg, Virginia, estate called Welbourne owned by Elizabeth Lemmon, who just happened to be the great romantic love of his editor Maxwell Perkins's life. Thomas Wolfe also visited Welbourne and wrote of it, too. We discuss "Her Last Case" and how it reframes our perceptions of Fitzgerald's Southern loyalties. 

Listen to ASCO's Journal of Clinical Oncology essay, “Afternoons in the Tower of Babel” by Barry Meisenberg, Chair of Medicine and Director of Academic Affairs at Luminis Health. The essay is followed by an interview with Meisenberg and host Dr. Lidia Schapira. Meisenberg describes how oncologists and families of patients in the ICU lack a common language when discussing status and prognosis. TRANSCRIPT Narrator: Afternoons in the Tower of Babel, by Barry R. Meisenberg, MD (10.1200/JCO.23.00587)  We talked for hours in that little windowless room adjacent to the intensive care unit (ICU) during his final week. A patient dying of a toxicity that should have been treatable, but is not. The oncologist's tasks: to care for the man in the ICU bed by caring for his family; to knit up the raveled opinions of the many consultants; to forge from these strands a family's understanding of status and prognosis; to be a family's ambassador in the ICU, while others toil to adjust the machines and monitor the urine flow; to make a plan that relieves suffering and preserves dignity; and to do all this not with brute-force honesty but with patience, gentleness, and humility.  The reckoning process begins for a wife, three adult children, and a daughter-in-law. The youngest begins the questioning. “So, if our prayers were answered and the lung cancer is shrinking, why are we here?  “It happens this way sometimes,” I hear myself saying, instantly dismayed by my own banality. This is not a physiologic or theologic explanation. Its only virtue is that it is factual. It does happen this way sometimes, no matter how fervent or broadly based the prayers. I have wondered why it is so for more than 35 years as a student of oncology. But the quest to understand is far older than my own period of seeking. Virgil's1 Aeneas in the underworld observes: The world is a world of tears and the burdens of mortality touch the heart In the little windowless room my words, phrases, and metaphors, delivered solemnly, are studied as if they were physical objects one could rub with the fingers or hold up to the light like Mesopotamian pottery shards with strange carved words. My word choices are turned inside out, and compared with yesterdays', I can see the family struggling to understand; they are strangers in a strange land. How lost they must feel, barraged by a slew of new terms, acronyms, and dangerous conditions. The questioning resumes.  “Explain ‘failing,' explain ‘stable,' explain ‘stable failure,' explain ‘insufficiency.'” My first tries were themselves insufficient. I try again; choosing carefully, using different metaphors: -the heart as pump, -the bone marrow as factory, -the kidneys as filter, -the immune system as … a loose cannon. -the lungs as collateral damage The soon-to-be widow restates my phrases to see if she has it right. Worn down by the exercise, I nod. Close enough. Daughter-in-law, following carefully, is quick to interject, “But yesterday you said the X-ray is ‘unchanged,' so why does he need more oxygen?” Did I say that? Yes, the notebook in her lap remembers all. “You say now ‘rest the lungs' on the ventilator, but last week, still on the oncology floor, you said get out of bed and work the lung as if they were a muscle.” Carefully, I unwrap more of our secret lexicon: “Proven infection” versus “infection” “Less inflamed” is still dangerously inflamed. Five sets of eyes, five sets of ears, five sets of questions. And the notebook.  I begin again, choosing carefully. The learning is a process and occurs incrementally. I tiptoe around acronyms and jargon. I assemble the words and metaphors to build understanding. This is part of the oncologist's job; at times, the most important part. But words are not all the tools we possess. There is also the language of the body. The grave subdued manner, the moist eyes, and the trembling voice, none of it pretend. The widow-to-be slowly absorbs these messages in a way that she cannot grasp the strange wordscape of the ICU. With time, understanding drips in, and the wife makes the difficult decision that all families dread, but some must make despite the fear. And tears come to this anguished but gracious family who manage, amid their own heartache, to recognize the dismay and bewilderment of the oncologist who used the right treatment at the right time but still lost a patient. The family sensing this offers to the doctor powerful hugs and the clasping of hands that opens their own circle of pain to include one more in search of why. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Hello and welcome to JCO's Cancer Stories: The Art of Oncology, which features essays and personal reflections from authors exploring their experience in the field of oncology. I'm your host, Dr. Lidia Schapira, Associate Editor for Art of Oncology and a Professor of Medicine at Stanford University. Today we're joined by Dr. Barry Meisenberg, who is Chair of Medicine and Director of Academic Affairs at Luminis Health. In this episode, we will be discussing his Art of Oncology article “Afternoons in the Tower of Babel.”  At the time of this recording, our guest has no disclosures.  Barry, welcome to our podcast, and thank you for joining us. Dr. Barry Meisenberg: Thank you for having me.  Dr. Lidia Schapira: Barry, let me start by asking you my now famous question: What are you reading now and what would you recommend for our listeners and readers?  Dr. Barry Meisenberg: I will tell you that, for a very special reason, I've been reading Thomas Wolfe. You know, the author of Look Homeward, Angel, and his final book everyone knows the title of You Can't Go Home Again. But I've been reading them with a very specific view. I'm interested in all the medical interactions and I find them immediately relevant to what I'm doing. And Thomas Wolfe talks about physicians treating dying patients. And the good physicians are also really caring for the family. And there are a couple of just wonderful examples. Would you like me to read you one?  Dr. Lidia Schapira: I would love it.  Dr. Barry Meisenberg: So this is from Look Homeward, Angel when Tom's beloved older brother Ben is dying from post-influenza pneumonia. And part of his family just can't understand it. They can't get used to it. And they keep insisting that the local physician do more. And this doctor who's Dr. Coker in the book, that's not his real name, of course. And he says to the sister, who's pretty close to hysterical. He said, “My dear, dear girl, we can't turn back the days that have gone. We can't turn life back to the hours when our lungs were sound, our blood hot and our bodies young. We are a flash of fire, a brain, a heart, a spirit, and we are three cents worth of lime and iron which we cannot get back.” And I say this that as we learn when we're in the ICU, we see a patient in the bed and we think, “end of life” and families look at that patient in the same patient, the same bed, and think of the young person, healthy lungs and strong desire for life. And we don't always see the same thing. And I just thought that piece of advice by that doctor was wonderful. Dr. Lidia Schapira: That's beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. Dr. Barry Meisenberg: Thank you. Dr. Lidia Schapira: This is a very special piece. And the first thing that I wanted to ask you about is how did you choose the title? Dr. Barry Meisenberg: I feel, as the readers will appreciate, that we often struggle to communicate with families because of the jargon and of the strangeness of the environment. And although the Tower of Babel is obviously a biblical reference where God punishes humans by scattering their languages so they can't communicate with each other, in the more sort of vernacular sense of that word, it just refers to a failure, an inability to communicate openly. And I think that's what this article is about.  Dr. Lidia Schapira: Let's talk a little bit about what the article is about. I read it as a very moving reflection, very sincere reflection from an oncologist who is heartbroken because he's about to lose a patient to complications of therapy. Help me understand a little bit about your message and how you wanted to communicate the importance of choosing the right words when the message is just so dire. Dr. Barry Meisenberg: It's actually two themes. You mentioned that sometimes when you choose the right therapy at the right time, at the right dose, and bad things happen anyhow that aren't supposed to happen, we take it very personally. And the second theme here is then our role as oncology, which I believe is at times the most important role we have, is to explain this strange environment to sometimes the patient, but also the family. And that means being aware of all the acronyms we're using and the jargon. Knowing that there are other physicians who they may have talked to who will say one thing and be seized upon one little phrase by the intensivist, by the nephrologist, by all our other colleagues. And feeling that it's our job, my job to wrap all those opinions together and to explain what it really means because they're all partial views.  Dr. Lidia Schapira: And also to provide guidance for the family. At one point you needed to explain, but also help the family come to a decision, which is a very difficult decision, and that must have felt very bad for you in a very, very difficult situation in a windowless room next to the ICU.  Dr. Barry Meisenberg: Again, I think it's actually our job. Our job is not just to write chemotherapy orders and order images. Our job is to care both for the patient and make sure the end of his life, in this case of his, is dignified, but also to care for the family, knowing what they're experiencing at the moment and what they'll experience after the death. I'm honored to do it. Some excellent intensivists can do this well. But I also think it's my job to do and I think it's important to teach young physicians that's their job.  Dr. Lidia Schapira: So let's talk a little bit about that because I think for perhaps our generation and for more senior oncologists this always has been part of the job and we've always understood that it's our responsibility to be present. To be present as you, I think you use the word as an ambassador in some ways. To reconcile what they're hearing from other people, to provide a framework for understanding what has just happened, and to get past the technicalities of the information and the words written down in the notebook to really tell the patient and the family and comfort them to understand where they're at. But it's not the way many of our colleagues today view the job. Can you reflect a little bit on that? On whether or not it's really the oncologist who needs to be at the bedside to explain this?  Dr. Barry Meisenberg: Well, by way of background, I am PGY 40, I think that's about right, PGY 40 of people of my generation. So I don't know if it's strictly generational, but I do have a whole view of an oncologist, holistic view, as opposed to a partialist view where we don't go into the hospital, we don't do end-of-life conversations in a hospital. We let the palliative care team do that or let the hospitalist do that. I just think it's not good for patient care. It's also not good for the oncologist because this is why we are viewed as a special breed of physician because we can do this. Other people are afraid of it. They don't like to deal with death or bad outcomes or bad prognosis. And we do it in our routine and people honor us for that. And so if we have a new ethic about this that “Let the intensivists do that or let the palliative care team do that,” we're losing what makes, part of what makes us special. Dr. Lidia Schapira: That's a very interesting thought when we'll hold and probably need to come back to it and reflect over the course of the day and the next several days. Let me go back to the scene that you give us in this beautiful essay. And you talk a little bit about the notebook, which I found very interesting, where I think it's the daughter-in-law of the patient is carefully recording the words and she's picking up on some what she sees as inconsistencies. Wait, yesterday you said, or last week you said "Get out of bed," and now it's, “He can't.” You used this word yesterday, but this word today.  Dr. Barry Meisenberg: Right.  Dr. Lidia Schapira: Can you share with us a little bit about how you react in those situations? Because I was just sort of feeling the frustration of trying to say, "You need to drop the pen and we need to just think about what's happening here." Dr. Barry Meisenberg: What you're referring to is this section, when the questioning, when our words are carefully examined, held up for review. Normally, I'm happy to have families write stuff down and record their questions, but if last week I said "stable" and today it's some other term to describe it, well, it is an apparent discrepancy says the notebook. And yeah, a week ago it might have been appropriate, “Get out of bed, get those lungs working.” And here we are five or seven days later, and he's on a ventilator because we need the lungs to rest. So explain that and it's in the notebook. Explain this apparent discrepancy, or another physician said he's doing good, meaning he's not progressive. And I'm saying “You've still got respiratory failure.”  Failure is a powerful word, by the way. You've got to be careful when we describe heart failure, respiratory failure, bone marrow failure. So this is, whether it's the memory or the notebook, I don't consider it an enemy, but it just shows you how careful we have to be in what we say. And what we can communicate in 15 seconds to a colleague takes much more time, and you really have to use metaphor to explain that. Dr. Lidia Schapira: So let me pick your brain a little bit. You describe yourself as a PGY 40, and maybe that's literal, maybe it's not. But as an experienced clinician, what advice do you have for some of the junior oncologists about how to sort of feel perhaps when they're being challenged in a difficult situation and how to choose their words and sort of cultivate that way of being with,  that presence that can really bring comfort to families? Dr. Barry Meisenberg: That's a great question, and I just hope that we would all approach this with empathy to try and understand what the family is going through. And the article tries to bring that out, that there's a family struggling in a strange environment. And our patients and families may be very accomplished people, but now they're in a new environment that they can't control, they don't understand, so let's care about them as well. And I never take it personally, someone's challenging my advice or my knowledge. That's almost like expected. So that's how I would try and explain our role there.  This particular family wasn't difficult in that way at all, and I hope that didn't come across that way. They were just very concerned and wanted to know and wanted to be educated and looked to me to provide that in a very respectful sort of way. But we certainly have had other families who insist that obviously there's something else better someplace else and some knowledge beyond what I bring to the table. But once again, what you just sort of care- I guess the best word is empathy or compassion for what they're going through.  Dr. Lidia Schapira: Barry, if you can bear to share this information, is this a patient who died of a complication of immunotherapy?  Dr. Barry Meisenberg: That's exactly right. Lung cancer, smoking history, got immunotherapy. Excellent clinical response until interstitial pneumonitis. So like a more than 50% response to the initial, I think just one cycle. And then though, the symptoms of dyspnea and progressive respiratory failure ended up in a hospital and other complications along the way, heart attack and whatnot. So it is based on a real patient, although the conversations are based on accumulated experience. But it was an actual patient and we knew it early, we used high-dose steroids early, and it just didn't seem to make a difference. And then second-line, third-line, therapies, many of your readers will know that these are all sorts of anecdotes, and one of them was tried as well, but just progressive respiratory insufficiency in a way that just like everything else, when there's a response, we don't really fully understand why some people respond and some don't.  Dr. Lidia Schapira: And how do you deal with and how have you learned to deal with the grief that follows losing a patient, especially under these circumstances?  Dr. Barry Meisenberg: Yeah, I don't know that I have learned how to deal with it. I mentioned in the article that I was welcomed into the circle of grief by this family who appreciated what I was feeling. Somehow it's kind of remarkable that some people do that. Some grieving people can understand others are grieving. So I don't really think that I've got a solution other than this sort of banal notion, as I mentioned in the article, that it's always been this way. Bad outcomes, bad things happen, and maybe it's the way of the world. I would feel differently if I had missed something, perhaps, but I grieve, I but don't blame myself and ready for the next patient next challenge.  Dr. Lidia Schapira: I always think it's wonderful when we are the recipients of such amazing compassion from families and those moments really sort of, in a way, rekindle our vocation and our ability to sort of recharge a little bit, to be present for the next family. I wonder if writing about it in a way helped you process this experience.  Dr. Barry Meisenberg: Oh, I think it absolutely does. And I'm so happy that this journal and this society gives us this opportunity and other journals as well. Because processing, which I guess is a modern term, is so important for us. There's a whole interest in reading things of this nature, not overly saccharine and not overly stereotyped because it doesn't always work out that way. But I absolutely feel that we're a brotherhood and sisterhood, and we need to share with each other because these are things we all go through, which I believe is the whole purpose of this section. Am I right?  Dr. Lidia Schapira: You're absolutely right. And you sort of anticipated my final question, which was, as a community, I certainly feel we need these stories and we need to share these stories. But I may have asked you this question in a prior conversation, but can you tell me how you use stories in your career for teaching or for sharing experiences, or reflecting with colleagues or trainees? Dr. Barry Meisenberg: I think they're a great opportunity, and obviously we want to encourage young people and medical staff of all ages to write their own and share. But we have a program specifically for residents and trainees where we look at some poetry or very short essays, some of the journals about these kinds of issues, and then reflect. One of them for example is how do you overcome physician errors, and a whole set of readings and poems about errors that have been made and how they linger with you your whole career. Someone wrote a beautiful line, "worn smooth by mental processing," because in general, we don't give them up. So these kinds of things I think are very helpful in reflecting and helping people understand that this is something we are all going to have to face and we're all going to have to deal with in our careers. And you can't hide it, you're going to deal with it so we can't hide from it and it is an effective coping measure. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Well, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. My heartfelt condolence on the loss of your patient. Dr. Barry Meisenberg: Thank you. Dr. Lidia Schapira: And keep writing.

In Great American Novel Podcast Episode 20, your fearless (or is it feckless) hosts find themselves in the damp swamps and thick scrublands of north central Florida in the post-Reconstruction era as we struggle to survive with the settlers of the brush country in Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' Pulitzer Prize winning 1938 novel, The Yearling. We discuss how this Maryland native came to work with the editor of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Thomas Wolfe, and how she came to love the Florida brush country she wrote about.  As always, these discussions are operating according to the rules of literary criticism, or as Melville might have put it, there be spoilers here. The Great American Novel podcast is an ongoing discussion about the novels we hold up as significant achievements in our American literary culture.  Additionally, we sometimes suggest novels who should break into the sometimes problematical canon and at other times we'll suggest books which can be dropped from such lofty consideration.  Your hosts are Kirk Curnutt and Scott Yarbrough, professors with little time and less sense who nonetheless enjoy a good book banter.  All opinions are their own and do not reflect the points of view of their employers, publishers, relatives, pets, or accountants. All show music is by Lobo Loco.  The intro song is “Old Ralley”; and the outro is “Inspector Invisible.”  For more information visit: https://locolobomusic.com/.  The theme to "Rawhide" was written by Ned Washington and Dimitri Tiomkin, 1958, performed by Frankie Laine.  Trailer for The Yearling, 1946, dir. Clarence Brown, produced by Sidney Franklin, released by MGM. We may be contacted at greatamericannovelpodcast (@) gmail.com.

It was Thomas Wolfe who wrote “you can never go home again.” Huh, what did he know? (yes, I understand the metaphor – move on!)This week's guest proves that whilst you can go home, you may not want to. Erin E. Adams is an actor, playwright and now the debut author of JACKAL, a novel of homecomings horrid and awful. Each year, in the small Pennsylvania town of Johnstown, a young Black girl goes missing, taken by whatever lurks in the woods surrounding the town. Helluva premise!!Erin takes us on a tour of Johnstown, both the real and the sorta fictional version. We talk about justification and paranoia, about anger as a superpower and the notion that horror is a genre for white people. She explores the epochal moments from her town's history and goes deep on her feelings about Black horror's handling of trauma. Then we compare our memories of small-town adolescence – finding that some sh*t is the same all around the world. Enjoy!Jackal was released on October 4th by Bantam.Other books mentioned in this episode include:How to Recognize a Demon has Become Your Friend (2011), by Linda AddisonCome With Me (2021), by Ronald Malfi – episode 49 Support Talking Scared on PatreonCome talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Support the show
