WES BROWNE chats to Scott Blackburn & Paul Burke about his noir THEY ALL FALL THE SAME, (US Amazon link) why it wasn't called Spoon, the Appalachians, North Carolina, pizza and community.They All Fall the Same: Cannabis kingpin Burl Spoon has reigned over the Jackson County area for three decades, building a powerful backwoods empire. But behind a well-run organization, his personal life is crumbling - his daughter can't stay clean; his son has hated him since coming out; and after enduring years of infidelity, his wife is straying too. The only person not on his payroll who still adores him is his six-year-old granddaughter, Chelsea. When his daughter overdoses on heroin laced with fentanyl and one of his employees is murdered, Burl's retaliation against Clovis Begley, the patriarch of the heroin-dealing family involved in both deaths, is inevitable. As Burl's plan spirals into a firestorm of vengeance that threatens the safety of his granddaughter, his drive for revenge conflicts with his longing for redemption. On the brink of losing everything, Burl must find a path between retribution and protecting what's left of his family.Wes Browne has lived and practiced law as a criminal defense attorney, prosecutor, and public defender in Appalachian Kentucky for over twenty-four years. He also helps run his family's pizza shops.Mentions and recommends: Mark Westmoreland, Henry Wise, SA Cosby, Silas House, Wiley Cash, David Joy, Tom Franklin, Ron Rash, Robert Gipe, Barbara Kingsolver, Chris Offutt, Leah Hampton, Annette Clapsaddle, Eryk Pruitt, Kelly J Ford, Steve Weddell, Benjamin Percy, James DF Hannah, Ted Flanagan, Dom Nolan, Donald Ray Pollock, Elmore Leonard.

It is to my great sorrow, that a dear friend, Tom Franklin, left his earthly home this past week.  Today, I'm replaying the podcast we did together and honor of his great example of living, loving and serving well. To honor Tom's memory donations can be made to New Life Christian Missions. PO box 647, Floyd Knobs, Indiana 47119.   To Charlotte, and Tom's family, my heart deeply grieves with yours.  Tom embraced Tony and I with our loss of Andrew in such a way as to inspire us to cling to our faith of one day, joining our son.  He encouraged and blessed us by his kind affirming words. Not once, not twice, but every time we had the privilege to speak to him.   When I heard the news this past week. My heart sank for his precious wife and family.  But I must say that my heart also smiled that he heard the words he's preached about his whole life. Well done my good and faithful servant! Welcome home.   We will miss you, Tom.  What a privilege to have walked this earth knowing you.   As the words of Casting Crowns comforts our hearts, Tom has laid his crowns at the feet of Jesus, as he joined with all of heaven in the everlasting song, Holy Holy Holy is the lamb upon the throne.   As you listen today take to heart Tom's wisdom and love of people. What he has to say about suffering, grief, lament and God's goodness. Join me as we listen and honor a legacy of a life well lived.     

We talk to Stand Up Comedian Tom Franlkin about how he got started in comedy, and how he lends his dark sense of humor into his sets. Tom has done comedy in several languges while taveling and living in Germany and Mexico. 

Tom Franklin was born in Baltimore Maryland in 1980. A man of many interests and talents Tom joined the U.S. Army where he was sent to Germany. After his military stint Tom moved back to Germany where he started to learn guitar and started a band, also learning things like snowboarding, windsurfing and painting along the way. Also, while in Germany Tom started standup comedy. Tom quickly learned how hard the artform was and dedicated himself to it and found out he enjoyed talking and interacting with others more then he previously thought. When the pandemic struck Tom moved his family to Mexico where he now resides. He then started his podcast “The Eye of Jupiter.” He interviews people about all manner of high strangeness, be it the paranormal, Bigfoot, U.F.O.s and alike or fundamental yet mysterious concepts such as consciousness, spirituality, religion, and psychedelics. Tom uses light-hearted humor and laughter to tease out the realness of each of his guest's stories, experiences, and personalities. So, get your popcorn, or cup of tea ready because “The Eye of Jupiter” will leave you hopefully feeling better and wanting more. Tom is currently doing standup in Spanish and is in the middle of working on his off-grid dream.I met Tom via the Expanding Reality community and was inspired by his adventurous life and creative pursuits. He invited me on his Eye of Jupiter podcast, and, since Tom was new to astrology, we took a spontaneous look at his chart. As it turns out, he has both the Sun and Moon in Aquarius - a perfect reflection of his unconventional life, love of freedom, commitment to creativity, and interest in all things outside-the-box.In our wide-ranging conversation, we got into:* Tom's massive transition from living a “normal life” in Germany to forging an off-grid homestead in the Mexican rainforest;* The mind-opening, deprogramming influence of George Carlin and Bill Hicks;* The addictive nature of standup comedy, and doing standup in Germany and Mexico;* Tom's paranormal experiences, including encounters with a poltergeist and Hat Man;* Freedom, creativity and living life to the fullest as a double Aquarius;* And much more!Check out Tom's work:* The Eye of Jupiter podcast on YouTube * Tom Franklin Art channel on YouTube * The Eye of Jupiter on Rumble* Facebook * Reddit* Email Tom: theeyeofjupiterpodcast@gmail.com This is a public episode.

*BONUS EPISODE This is Thursday, yes, I know I don't normally release a podcast on Thursdays. However, this is a bonus episode that I can't wait to share with you. I have a guest today and Tony, my husband assists me in interviewing him. We discuss grief, lament, God's goodness, and the pain that we suffer here on this earth. This episode is special to me because Tom is involved in a ministry in India and he shares some information with us on how to support him but also how what he's doing is changing lives in miraculous ways. They are caring for orphaned neglected children and training up ministers in the word of God. The effect this is having is not measurable in human terms. Changing lives one generation at a time.  Today, my guest is Tom Franklin, and Tom and Charlotte Franklin have been working for 25 years in India and Nepal. And the ministry is called New Life Christian Missions.  Contact Tom per his post office box and or email. It is to dangerous to have a website due to the laws where they are serving.  NLCM Post office box 647 in Floyd's Knobs, Indiana, 47119 tomfranklinnlcm@gmail.com.  Become A Grief Mentor Insider : Here Want a first step session with the Grief Mentor?

As training camp winds down, there's some interesting roster questions that the St. Louis Blues still need to solve. Is it too early or NOW for Scotty Perunovich and Jake Neighbours? Is it time for Klim Kostin to graduate to the NHL? Does James Neal or Michael Frolik make this team? Can Dakota Joshua keep a roster spot...at the expense of someone like, say, MacKenzie MacEachern?

Amanda and Jenn discuss several geographically specific reads, COVID art, memories in sci-fi, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. Follow the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. Feedback This Is Paradise by Kristiana Kahakauwila (rec’d by Carol) Obernewtyn by Isobelle Carmody (rec’d by Laura) A Painted House by John Grisham, Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin (rec’d by Suzanne) Can I Be Your Dog? by Troy Cummings (rec’d by Rachel) Good Enough to Eat by Jae and Alison Gray, CW: it deals with real addiction and alcoholism (rec’d by Rose) The Library of Legends by Janie Chang (rec’d by Susan) Questions 1. My question is: can you suggest a mystery set in any of the remaining states? They are Alabama, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Utah. I’d like to accomplish this using unique authors for each state, so another Grisham, for example, would not work. Any kind of mystery will do, preferably somewhere in the broad middle between cloying cozy and gruesomely gory. I included my list so far for reference. Thank you! -Suzanne 2. What are your favorite books set in Mexico? I just read Gods of Jade and Shadow and I loved it…and then I read Mexican Gothic, which I also loved up until the point where it made me gag (so much squick). Anyway, reading Silvia Moreno-Garcia has really piqued my interest in Mexico as a setting, and I’d love some recommendations for further reading. Thank you!  -Sara 3. For me, COVID art has been a really helpful way to cope in the last year whether it be music, TV, or written works that deal with pandemic realities head on. Because I work in the restaurant industry, I experienced only a very short quarantine period before being back out in the world, and I think I appreciate the aspect of getting on with life in the face of the ongoing trauma and fear and still finding plenty of joy in small moments. The only book I’ve found dealing directly with COVID (aside from specifically scientific stuff, which I’m far less interested in) is Intimations by Zadie Smith. What else is out there?  Thanks! -Carol 4. I’m looking for a recommendation for two very different sub genres of thriller. I recently read City of the Lost by Kelley Armstrong and it reminded me a little bit of The Blinds by Adam Sternbergh. I wondered if you know of any other books like this “remote town, cut off from the rest of the world, group of people living there who have to be self sufficient but all have lots of secrets and a murder happens.” I also recently read One by One by Ruth Ware and I wasn’t a fan, I’m not looking for stranded people, as much as a group that chose to go live remotely and cut off from the world. Second, I’m currently reading The Seven Doors by Agnes Ravatan and I really like the Scandinavian setting. I also love the “is there something supernatural or is this just a thriller element?” The other book I loved similar to this was I Remember You: A Ghost Story by Yrsa Siguroardottir. This also had the remote Scandinavian setting with the “maybe” supernatural something happening. Any help in these two areas would be awesome!   -Heather 5. I love the show. I would really love a recommendation on rotten food I am not talking about the Netflix show, I would love if it had a variety of foods that as human beings we eat that are disturbing to others but as a culture it is acceptable as well as the process of how this came to be. For instance, where did we get the idea of cheese and how it was safe to eat or how balut became delicacy to eating casu marzu or even monkey’s brains. I want to find a book on all these fascinating foods and how they came to be introducing into a culture as well as an acceptable food something from all cultures. -Grace 6. I recently finished reading Mem by Bethany C. Morrow and really loved it and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. What I loved about it is how it discusses the importance of memories regardless of how bad they may seem/ Mixed with the sc-fi, alternate history elements, and the amazing writing, this book is just everything I ever needed! Do you have any book recs with similar vibes/themes? Please, only fiction, and preferably under 350 pages. I also wanted to say that I really love this podcast and that I discovered many of my favorite books because of it. Keep it up! -Passant 7. I am looking for some book recommendations about marriages that are struggling in a fictional setting. Struggles that are not related to affairs or already at divorces door. I want to see the internal dialogue/conflict and how two people navigate a marriage that’s not full of love anymore and can hopefully come back from that. Thank you so much for all the hard work you guys do to help us readers find what we’re looking for! You are much appreciated and needed -Alexis Books Discussed Alabama: The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins Utah: The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff (cw: homophobia) Kingdom Cons by Yuri Herrera, transl Lisa Dillman The Hummingbird’s Daughter by Luis Alberto Urrea (tw: rape, child abuse) The Premonition by Michael Lewis Together, Apart, by Erin A.
