“The people you're speaking directly to are going to shape your storytelling more than anything else. Otherwise, write a novel. You'll put a great story out into the world. You will never be present when someone receives it. And if they hate it, then you won't be there while that happens. But if you write a play and they hate it, you're going to be in the room when they hate it. And that is humbling and very informative.” – Topher PayneTopher Payne is an Atlanta-based playwright and screenwriter, originally from Mississippi. He made his Off-Broadway debut in 2017 with "Perfect Arrangement," which was a nominee for the LAMBDA literary award the following year. He's written six films for television, and is the author of the "Topher Fixed It" series, reimagining the endings to classic children's books, which people seem to either love or HAAAAAATE. Topher has a three-legged dog and makes a really good cocktail.

Na minha infância meu livro favorito era A Árvore Generosa, do Shel Silverstein. Esse livro sempre me emocionou e recentemente eu encontrei uma versão diferente do livro.Topher Payne, escritor, fez uma versão alternativa e disponibilizou em sua página na internet:www.topherpayne.comO texto alternativo que Topher criou se chama A Árvore que Colocou Limites Saudáveis. E de repente uma nova história se faz possível para os personagens; a árvore e o menino.Relações autênticas pedem conversas francas e uma dinâmica de respeito e carinho mútuo. Quando um dos lados não leva isso em consideração cria-se um desequilíbrio no relacionamento que impacta a vida de ambos.Música e Edição: Alê Pradewww.vitalkompass.comInsta: @vitalkompass

My favorite book when I was a child was The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein. This book always moved me and recently I found an alternative version of it.Topher Payne, playwright, created a different version and made it available in his website: www.topherpayne.comThe alternative version is called The Tree Who Set Healthy Boundaries. Suddenly, a new story is possible for the characters, the tree and the boy.Authentic relationships demand honest conversations and a dynamic of mutual respect and affection. When one does not take this into consideration there is an unbalanced relationship that impacts on both sides.Music and Editing: Alê Pradewww.vitalkompass.comInsta: @vitalkompass

(00:00-09:31): “America needs your leadership now more than ever. But there are a few things you must know and a few more you must expect” writes Larry Taunton. (09:31-27:55): We are joined by Dr. Jim Wilder, author of the book “The Other Half of Church”. Why does true Christian transformation seem fleeting? And why does church often feel lonely, Christian community shallow, and leaders untrustworthy? For many Christians, the delight of encountering Christ eventually dwindles—and disappointment sets in. Is lasting joy possible? (27:55-37:42): Jayson D. Bradley writes “How a Plague Exposed the “Christian Nation” Myth” in Patheos. If COVID-19 has done anything, it’s revealed that the U.S. brand of Christianity doesn’t look anything like Jesus. (37:42-47:08): Dan Zak writes in the Washington Post “American exceptionalism was our preexisting condition”. (47:08-55:57): Brian and Ian discuss “Coronavirus, Conspiracy Theories, and the Ninth Commandment” by David French. A better political theology can make us less vulnerable to lies. (55:57-1:05:00): We were joined by Jesse Oxford of OX Creates. He wrote a compelling piece in Medium called “Brave Enough to Suck at Something New”. Fear of failure stops us from ever really trying. It hurts to go from being the smartest person in the room to the slowest person in the race. (1:05:00-1:14:35): Brian and Ian end on a humorous note with “The Tree Who Set Healthy Boundaries: An Alternate Ending For Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree" by Topher Payne.

Hello, Athens. This is the WRITE CLUB Athens Podcast. I'm Jami Howard, the Head Bitch In Charge. If you're not familiar with WRITE CLUB, let me break it down for you. WRITE CLUB started in Chicago, the brainchild of our seriously disturbed overlord Ian Belknap. It goes like this: 2 OPPOSING WRITERS. 2 OPPOSING IDEAS. 7 MINUTES APIECE. AUDIENCE PICKS A WINNER. Writers compete for cash going to a charity of their choosing. It was a balmy night on April 2nd when a standing room only crowd welcomed WRITE CLUB to Flicker Bar for our inaugural show. Three seasoned WRITE CLUB Veterans -- Nick Tecosky, Randy Osborne and Topher Payne came to face off against three of Athens' finest ladies, Krista Westervelt, Janet Geddis and yours truly. The battle began when I faced off with WRITE CLUB Atlanta's Viceroy Nick Tecosky. We'll start with Nick's work of fiction chronicling his struggle with being a scientist zombie. His topic: Brains. [Nick's performance] Nothing is more human than desire, President Palin. Hard to follow, I took him on with my topic, Brawn. [Jami's performance] So, who had the better piece? Are you kicking yourself for not coming to see the show now? Fret not! WRITE CLUB Athens will be back soon. Make sure you like us on Facebook and follow us on twitter at WRITECLUBAthens. You can also check out our site at www.writeclubathens.com. If you're interested in participating in an upcoming bout, send us a message at hello@writeclubathens.com. We're looking for a fiery, brave soul to be our regular emcee and host. Thanks to Viceroy Nick Tecosky and Consigliere Myke Johns for coming up and helping get this crazy adventure off to a roaring start. Big thanks to Flicker Bar for taking a chance on something new. Also thanks to Carla Le Fever & The Rays for lending us the sweet, sweet sounds. Look for upcoming podcasts for Janet Geddis vs. Randy Osborne and Krista Westervelt and Topher Payne.
