I have two children, one boy and one girl. Actually they're not children, they're adults and they're on their own now of course. But I still have a couple of young lives that I'm responsible for. I'm talking about my two dogs, Lilly and Fenway, they are both Yorkies, and obviously I would do anything for those little pups. They're actually getting up there in dog years now – they're 12 and 13. But they're in good health so far, we go for a walk twice a day, and they still love chasing a ball sometimes. But I know they are in their golden years so I'm trying to appreciate every minute I have with them. I think anyone who's a dog lover can identify with wanting to protect your dog from any type of harm that might come their way. I mean, I don't want them to run into the street, I don't want them to eat something that might be harmful, and I surely don't want them to get into a fight with another dog. My guest today goes by the nickname “T”. Not the word “tea”, just the letter “T”. She found herself in a situation where her dog was in trouble. And she had to make a split-second decision. And I'm gonna do something here that I don't normally do – I'm gonna tell you ahead of time that today, T and her wonderful dog are doing fine. The story does have a happy ending. I don't usually have spoilers here in the opener, but I know some listeners would not want to hear a story if the dog doesn't make it. And I don't blame you – I wouldn't want to hear that either. But you're safe with this one. So I hope you enjoy the story of T, and how she saved her dog's life.

Take less than 10 minutes to write yourself a letter of care, compassion, and encouragement with psychologist Kristin Neff in this research-backed practice.How To Do This Practice: Choose an area of self-judgment: Think of one aspect of yourself that makes you feel inadequate, stressed, or not quite good enough. Name what you're feeling: Write a few sentences about the situation and the emotions it brings up, such as sadness, fear, frustration, shame, or loneliness. Imagine an unconditionally compassionate friend: Picture someone who is wise, accepting, and deeply caring—someone who sees both your strengths and your struggles without judgment. Write a letter from their perspective: Let this compassionate friend respond to your situation with understanding, kindness, and acceptance, recognizing that imperfection is part of being human. Include gentle wisdom and encouragement: If it feels helpful, have your compassionate friend offer caring suggestions for growth or change—not because you need fixing, but because they want you to thrive. Read the letter back to yourself: Set the letter aside for a while, then return to it and read it slowly, allowing the words of compassion and support to sink in.

Top Ten from 2025: #9 Raising Healthy Kids: Free Tips with Emily Johnson (Episode 275) 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." *Transcription of original episode* Raising Healthy Kids: Free Tips with Emily Johnson (Episode 275) Hi, I'm Emily Johnson. I am a homeschool mama of two beautiful kiddos, married to my high school sweetheart, and the owner of Gracious Healing, a online nutritional practice that works with families to get to the root of their health issues with a holistic view and approach. I deeply love Jesus and pursue Him in all that I do, including health. After walking through decades of undiagnosed health issues, I was lead to the world of functional medicine and eventually into the holistic health world. After finding support for my body and that of my kids (who have been on their own health journeys) I was able to pursue further education and began working with clients on a 1:1 basis, to help them find the hope and health that I have found. Emily's Website Questions and Topics We Cover: Let's go over various areas and see what quick tips and starting ideas you have for each, beginning with water and hydration: Will you lay the groundwork here? How does sunlight and outdoor time impact our children's health How is nature a natural filtration system for air?

Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“ Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“ Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Top Ten from 2025: #10 Domestic Violence and Abuse: Identifying and Healing from Abusive Relationships with Stacey Womack (Episode 263) Mark 10:27 NKJV "But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” **Transcription of original episode** Domestic Violence and Abuse: Identifying and Healing from Abusive Relationships with Stacey Womack (Episode 263) Questions and Topics We Discuss: Will you teach us about the various types of abuse?

Ben Lerner's slender new novel, “Transcription,” is just 130 pages long, yet it cracks open some of our most colossal and enduring philosophical questions. The novel is told in three parts. We open with an unnamed narrator going to interview his mentor, Thomas — an acclaimed artist in his 90s who also happens to be the father of one of the narrator's friends, Max — for a magazine. Before the interview, however, the narrator's phone breaks and he has no way to record their conversation. Rather than reschedule, he proceeds with the interview and only pretends to record Thomas as they talk. The second section flashes to the future. Thomas has died, and the article that our narrator wrote has become enshrined as the final interview with the iconic artist. At a symposium in Madrid, the narrator confesses that his interview was reconstructed rather than transcribed — a revelation that dismays the other guests and infuriates Max. Then we flash again. In the final section, the narrator talks to Max, who discusses his own complicated relationship with Thomas and technology, including how the internet and other digital tools impacted his family during several crises. Through these scenes, “Transcription” asks a series of questions: How does technology mediate our lives? How does it bring us together or pull us apart? Is there a difference between what's real and what's true? It also becomes a potent and poignant study of fatherhood and what it means. On this episode, MJ Franklin discusses “Transcription” with fellow Book Review editors Gregory Cowles and Alexandra Jacobs.

Have you ever had a really big vision of doing something, and then the way it turned out was actually very different from what you had planned? I think this is almost universal for us as humans. Think back to when you were a teenager. You probably had some ideas about becoming an adult and what that would look like. What kind of career you might have, or not. Finding a partner if you wanted one. Thinking about being a parent, or not having kids at all. A lot of young people have this vision of how they think their life is going to play out. And at that age, we don't really have enough experience to know that those things almost never actually play out exactly as you expect them to. I mean, just by listening to the guests that I talk to here on the podcast, we know that things happen that we never would have imagined – and life can take a completely different path. My guest today is Mae. In high school, she had her life planned out. She had already met and was in love with her life partner, and they were going to get married as soon as they could, and they were going to have children, and live happily ever after.

Today's episode deals with a controversial question: Should a person be legally allowed to get medical assistance to end their own life? And keep in mind, this usually pertains to someone who is terminally ill, and who is also mentally and emotionally stable enough to make that decision on their own. Here in the US, most states still do not allow it. But Medical Assistance in Dying is legal in all of Canada. That's where Courtney lives. Courtney told this amazing story on the podcast about four years ago. It's the story of her mother's decision, and it's both wonderful and heartbreaking. And stick around after, because I was able to record a chat with Courtney to get an update on what's happened since we last spoke.

Cuimhneamh an Chláir is calling on volunteers to take part in a new “crowd-transcription” project aimed at preserving Co. Clare's rich oral history archive. Thanks to funding from the Michael Guinee Charitable Foundation, the organisation has appointed an archivist and archival assistant for the next two years to help prepare more than 900 interviews for upload to the Digital Repository of Ireland. As part of the process, volunteers are needed to listen to recordings and write short summaries capturing stories of local life, tradition, and folklore. To find out more, Derrick Lynch was joined by Project Manager, Paula Carroll. Logo (c) Cuimhneamh an Chláir
On this week's episode, we review the latest novel by Ben Lerner. We discuss auto-fictions limitations and why we were left frustrated by this potentially thought provoking novel. And, finally, we discussed adding a beach read to our TBR, (since Lerner was so adamant that his latest novel was most definitely not a beach read)If you've read "Transcription" let us know your thoughts.As always, thanks for listening.Contact Us:Instagram @therewillbbooksTwitter @therewillbbooksEmail willbebooks@gmail.comGoodreads: Therewillbebooksko-fi.com/therewillbbookspatreon.com/therewillbbooks
Anna and Geoff react to the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction winner, ANGEL DOWN by Daniel Kraus, a World War 1 novel written in one sentence. We also discuss Dwight Garner's New York Times article about the lack of book critics and our views on book influencers and reviews that make news, such as the Harper's review of To Paradise by Hana Yanagihara. Our book of the week is TRANSCRIPTION by Ben Lerner. This novel about a writer who writes an article about his mentor from his memory of their interview after dropping his phone in a sink tackles issues such as phone addiction, parenting and eating disorders. It was a Telegraph 'most anticipated book of 2026' and a New York Times 'book everyone will be talking about'. Recommended for book clubs. We had to ask: Why did he not put his phone in a bowl of rice? Is this a book about tech addiction? How does it differ from an Ian McEwan novel? How many unreliable narrators do we have here?

One of the things that makes this life so interesting is that something can happen that's life-changing, when you least expect it. I mean, you're just going about your day – stopping at the grocery store, or putting gas in your car, just a routine day. Then something totally unexpected happens, right in front of you. I remember one time when I was just on my way to work in the morning. Just driving on this rural road in Maine, and there was a pickup truck in front of me. And there was a man riding in the back – in the open bed of the truck. He was standing, facing forward, just hanging out. All of a sudden that truck went to the right, off the road, right into a power pole. I don't know what caused the driver to lose control, but fortunately there were no serious injuries. Even the guy in the truck bed was mostly okay. But it just happened so fast. My guest today is Jayson. He was having a pretty normal day, just running some errands. Then he found himself unexpectedly witnessing an attempted murder. If you'd like to contact Jayson, you can do that through his website: http://www.jaysoncross.com/ You can also find him on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok: @jaysoncrosscomedy On X (Twitter): @jcrosscomedy Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/255 Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.

Anna and Geoff discuss the 2026 Women's Prize for Fiction Shortlist. Is it more commercial than usual? Our book of the week is LÁZÁR by Nelio Biedermann translated by Jamie Bulloch. This sweeping historical novel about the aristocratic von Lázár family during the 20th century from the Austro Hungarian empire through to Russian occupation is a buzzy debut which has received much praise. Patti Smith, Dua Lipa and Christian Kracht are fans. It prompted some questions: Is One Hundred years of Solitude a good comparison? What is the meaning of the translucent skin and gothic forest? Can you spot the modern literature references (Anna missed most of them!)

The 5th Circuit gave us a doozy late on Friday night by tightening access to the abortion drug mifepristone—Leah and Melissa break it down. Then, the full crew dives deeper into the Court's catastrophic Voting Rights Act decision in Louisiana v. Callais (for their initial reaction, check out last week's emergency episode). Next, they recap the troubling oral arguments in Mullin v. Doe, the case about Temporary Protected Status, in which Trump's Solicitor General tried to argue that the President's extremely racist statements about migrants from certain countries weren't, in fact, racist at all. Also covered: Trump's ballroom, arguments in an important Fourth Amendment case, and how some savvy federal judges are turning the administration's favorite legal concept—the unitary executive theory—against it.

Today's episode is a little different. If you're a regular listener to the show, you know that usually we hear a story from a regular person about something they've experienced that was extremely unusual. We have over 250 episodes like that – plane crashes, mass shootings, animal attacks, and lots more. And it's not all trauma stories – we have some happy ones too. But sometimes we change it up, and I have a guest on who has a really unusual job. I've talked to Spence, who's a lighthouse keeper, and Dan, who prepares people for their first time going to prison, and Jen – who works as a professional bridesmaid. You can scroll through all the back episodes and find those and a few more. So today I'm speaking with Elaina. As a young person, she was hired to work at the Magic Kingdom in Disney World – as Mickey Mouse. You know, when you're at Disney World, and you're walking around trying to decide if you go ride the Space Mountain roller coaster, or take a break in the air conditioning and watch the Country Bear Musical Jamboree, and all of a sudden you see standing right in front of you is – Mickey Mouse. Waving, signing autographs, and just making people happy. Yeah, that's what Elaina did. She also played Minnie Mouse, and a few other characters sometimes. We talked about how she ended up getting that job, what it's like to wear the costume, what would get you fired, and the celebrities she crossed paths with. And of course, what everyone wants to know about – the infamous tunnels UNDER Disney World. You're gonna get all the behind-the-scenes stuff today. And why is this episode titled “Elaina was FRIENDS with Mickey”? She'll explain that too.

Slushies, you could be forgiven this week for thinking you've tuned in to a different podcast. One about gardening, maybe? Or perhaps you've stumbled across a punctuation pod? But it's just your usual team ranging wherever the poems might take us. Today we're discussing poems by Annie Kantar. The first, “Wolf Peach,” has us pondering folklore, the toxicity of nightshades, and dreaming of our favorite shakshuka. We draw on Dagne's well of gardening knowledge. The second poem spurs our deep regard for an overlooked punctuation mark with charm and humor. How many ways can you appreciate an apostrophe, that little curve that lets us skip syllables? Lisa cracks open her copy of Edward Hirch's The Essential Poet's Glossary to share a definition. Kathy thinks PBQ readers are similarly language-obsessed and will appreciate the extent of our punctuation celebration. We end the episode with a cliffhanger. You'll have to keep listening to hear how it all plays out. Sam signs off with a recommendation of the latest from Ben Lerner, Transcription. Join us in offering a big PBQ welcome to our newest co-op, Reese Pfunder! Thanks, as always, for listening. At the table: Dagne Forrest, Tobi Kassim, Samantha Neugebauer, Reese Pfunder, Kathleen Volk Miller, Lisa Zerkle, Lillie Volpe (sound engineer) Author Bio: Annie Kantar is the author of Means to Be Lucky (Poets & Traitors Press), translator of the Book of Job (Koren), and of Leah Goldberg's collection of poems, With This Night (University of Texas Press), which was shortlisted for the ALTA Prize. Her work has appeared in journals such as The American Literary Review, Barrow Street, Bennington Review, Birmingham Poetry Review, Cincinnati Review, Forma, Gulf Coast, Literary Imagination, On the Seawall, Painted Bride Quarterly, Poetry Daily, Poetry International, Rattle, Smartish Pace, Tikkun and Verse Daily, and anthologized in Plume Anthology (Canisy Press), The Art of Poetry (Classical Academic Press), and elsewhere. WOLF PEACH Once deemed capable of turning people into monsters, the inside of the tomato is dark, no matter how vivid, how vitamin-rich. Darkness is everywhere and they say if I open my eyes to the shadow, I'll see reality as it is. Even war has its beauty, cruelty its place; learn to live with it, don't be fooled: the Peach that bursts in its own sugars, disappearing in cobblers and pies, could beget a tomato, and has made horrors of unsuspecting gardeners. Know its fat blank face, its bloodthirst, lest you end up like the Good Egg, conjurer of casseroles for funerals and bedsides, that storybook apple of everyone's eye. All the darkness in the world surrounds her sunny inside, but she loses every time. Still the peach is a peach, and the shakshuka shakshuka Mar. 2026, after Aharon Shabtai APOSTROPHE Shape of an ear in the corner of a word, a speck frequently misplaced; signal of elision, shortcut to what's been said or couldn't have been otherwise, a desire for cadence, synonym for address (don't forget where you're headed), receptacle for a voice, oracle, or friend; informal; a way of getting to the point; a getting-of-drift, destination; a means an end a hand's c'mon, teardrop, side eye; infinite yet contained, say, if God were part person or sea; the sea; syllable skipper, well-wisher, absent entity, substitute, metonymy for knowing, a wild guess, an exclamation implicit for is and its opposite. OLD STORY What was it, the word she loved, what she called the most important thing? Incapable of saying whether it continued through th- - - or ended in a lisping omission, her grandson my grandfather the doctor learned to nod: yes, of course, it's all that matters. She had soft hands, they walked beside it: sometimes it seems no more than a surface you could walk across, but then you step in and the water drops off, deeper than you imagined. . . Whether he was talking about the lake or her old world accent, I can't say; either way, you know how it goes—soon it was too late to admit he didn't understand. Their walks followed the entire circumference, whose center was that one inscrutable truth she'd put on repeat, blurred by an inaudible h or e (or was it an i)? He was a big boy, and by the time he had to go, as faith or fate would have it, he no longer needed to know.
AI is now good enough to change how computational biology teams actually work, but most companies are still adopting it like it's 2023. Sonia Timberlake, R&D strategy consultant for Timberlake & Maclsaac Biopharma Consulting, speaks with host Eleanor Howe about what's real: agentic coding, high-throughput data workflows, and the practical limits that still slow teams down. Timberlake digs into benchmarks for capabilities and end-to-end tasks, as well as multimodal chart understanding, source verification, and where human review remains non-negotiable. The conversation also explores beyond AI to what biopharma risks missing, why novel targets still matter, and where investment interest is clustering right now. Plus, tune in to get a preview of Timberlake's workshop at Bio-IT World Conference & Expo in Boston next month!

Technology is making it more and more difficult to get lost. Right now, I'm here in my home in Florida. I could pull out my phone, type in any random address in, say, Washington state – the other end of the country. Roughly 3,000 miles away. And within a few seconds, I would have turn by turn audio directions that would enable me to drive directly to that address. I know, GPS isn't always perfect, but it's really an amazing example of technology. And usually it works so smoothly that we just take it for granted. But what if you're on foot, and your phone's battery dies? Now you have nothing to tell you which direction to go, and you have no way to contact anyone for help. That's what happened to John. John told this story on the podcast about 7 years ago in one of the very early episodes. He was hiking in an area that he was not familiar with. And a hike in the deep woods that was only supposed to be a few hours turned into days.

Cynicism is widely considered a defining quality of our conspiracy-addled, irony-poisoned age. But audiences and creatives alike now seem ready to cast it aside in favor of an attitude that's long been out of style: earnestness. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz trace this trend from the outer-space buddy comedy “Project Hail Mary” to the real-life Artemis II mission, whose crew has spoken movingly about Earth as a “lifeboat” in the middle of a vast, mysterious universe. The hosts also consider two buzzy new books—Lena Dunham's “Famesick,” and “Transcription,” by Ben Lerner—which find their authors turning to earnestness in midlife, after precocious beginnings. In this era of political, economic, and environmental precarity, younger generations, too, have come to celebrate big feelings, rather than living in fear of seeming cringe. “We've just seen too much awful stuff, and it's impossible to ironize,” Cunningham says. “The only sane response to that is to kind of sober up and say, ‘All right, what resources do humans still have?' ”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Project Hail Mary” (2026)“The Pitt” (2025-)“Love on the Spectrum” (2022-)“Heated Rivalry” (2025-)“Famesick,” by Lena Dunham“Girls” (2012-17)“Transcription,” by Ben Lerner“Climbing Cringe Mountain With Gen Z” (The New York Times)“Amos & Boris,” by William SteigLászló Krasznahorkai's Nobel Prize lectureNew episodes drop every Thursday.

Lerner's new novel(la) is a revelation. One that deserves a LOT of our attention. It's a text that tests the limits and potentials of what fiction can do. Whether you loved it or came away wondering what the hell you just read, these ninety minutes should deepen your appreciation for this latest from one of my very favorite writers of all time.
Primavera, a new film about Vivaldi tells the story of his composing for pupils of an institution for abandoned girls. We speak to the film's director Damiano Michieletto, better known as an award-winning opera director, about his film and about Vivaldi himself. The Music is Black is the inaugural exhibition at London's new V&A East Museum and it celebrates 125 years of Black British music. Lead curator Jacqueline Springer joins us to discuss the show and wealth of music it showcases, from the early days of jazz via calypso, reggae, two-tone, pop and grime. Ben Lerner, the Pulitzer-nominated author of Leaving the Atocha Station and The Topeka School, discusses his latest novel Transcription; an exploration of loss, technology and “fiction”. The Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities in Oxford officially opens its doors next weekend. It combines seven academic faculties with performance spaces including the world's first ‘Passivhaus' concert hall, certifying its sustainability.Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe

There's a funny thing about being an American. I've seen this with some people I know, as well as some of the guests here on the podcast. Living in the United States, it's easy to have the mindset that the way we do things is the way the rest of the world does things. Unless you travel to other countries regularly, and get exposed to other cultures, that's kind of the default thought for a lot of people. An example of this is tipping. Here in the US, we tip service workers. In fact, I think the tipping culture has gotten way out of hand, but that's a different story. But in other places around the world, they don't expect a tip for good service. In fact, offering extra money for a job well done can be considered kind of an insult or even condescending. My conversation today is with Blake. He's a US citizen, so he was accustomed to the American way of thinking about a lot of things. Like, the concept that marijuana is not serious drug. And the idea of being innocent until proven guilty. But while he was in South Korea, he discovered that they think very differently about these things.

What if feeling better didn't have to take months or years to figure out, but could start today? On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr to talk about why so many people feel stuck in what he calls a “sympathetic spiral of doom.” Energy is low, recovery isn't what it used to be, and there's a constant sense of stress that doesn't seem to resolve. We walk through what's actually happening beneath the surface, why it can be so hard to break out of that pattern once you're in it, and how to start shifting your energy and recovery. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. In this episode, we discuss: • Why you feel “tired but wired” and what it actually means for your body • What's keeping your energy low even when nothing obvious is wrong • How stress from your life and environment builds up and keeps you stuck • Why calming down doesn't always work—and what to focus on instead • How to start rebuilding your energy so your body can recover and adapt We shouldn't have to wait for something to go wrong to take action. The goal is to help your body function better so you can actually feel it day to day.

Recorded live at Shakespeare and Company, Adam Biles speaks with Ben Lerner about his novel Transcription, a formally inventive meditation on technology, memory, and human connection.Beginning with the novel's deceptively simple premise (a writer loses his recording device and reconstructs an interview from memory) the conversation expands into questions of mediation, voice, and authenticity. Lerner explores how devices reshape attention and relationships, suggesting that humans themselves function as “media,” transmitting voices across time and between generations.The discussion moves between the philosophical and the intimate: from the limits of digital communication to the emotional power of disembodied voices, from intergenerational care to the fragile transmission of experience. Ultimately, Transcription emerges as a reflection on how stories, memories, and voices persist—less as fixed recordings than as living, shifting acts of interpretation.Buy Transcription: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/transcription-4Ben Lerner was born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1979. He has received fellowships from the Fulbright, Guggenheim, and MacArthur Foundations, and is the author of three other internationally acclaimed novels, Leaving the Atocha Station, 10:04 and The Topeka School. He has published the poetry collections The Lichtenberg Figures, Angle of Yaw (a finalist for the National Book Award), Mean Free Path and No Art as well as the essay The Hatred of Poetry.

In this episode, host Jade Hunter delves into Grand Challenges-funded project, Visible CoSpace Study - a youth-led, co-produced study aimed at addressing the health inequalities faced by young people from marginalised communities. Joined by project co-leads Dr Keri Wong and Dr Lusi Morhayim, the discussion uncovers the critical role of youth clubs and community spaces in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of 14 to 25-year-olds. As they explore the impact of reduced funding and the closure of youth clubs across the UK, the conversation highlights the insights gained from interviews with young people and community youth workers, revealing how these spaces serve as essential safe havens for vulnerable youth. Transcription link: Language: English This episode also examines how the project's findings are influencing policy discussions around youth wellbeing and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in research.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr to take a deep dive into methylene blue, mitochondrial function, and where the truth lies between online hype and fear. We talk through how methylene blue acts as a redox cycler in the mitochondria, how dosing differs for mitochondrial support versus antimicrobial use, and why high doses or poorly labeled liquid droppers can cause problems. Dr. Sherr also shares how he's used methylene blue with athletes for recovery and endurance, including timing, half-life, and practical ranges he sees most often. We cover how mitochondrial health connects to energy, mood, focus, stress physiology, and recovery, plus resources from Transcriptions and the Health Optimization Medicine and Practice (HOMe/HOPe) framework.

If your brain changes, are you still the same person? That was the question behind a 1991 movie titled Regarding Henry. In that film, Harrison Ford played the part of Henry Turner. Henry was a wealthy New York City lawyer. He was also narcissistic, uncaring, and even a little unethical sometimes. He got what he wanted and he didn't care who was in the way. One night he stops into a convenience store and accidentally interrupts an armed robbery. Henry gets shot in the head, but somehow survives. But he has damage to his brain. As he recovers, he slowly emerges as someone very different than who he was before the shooting. He forges new, loving relationships with his wife and his daughter. And of course they love the “new” Henry. My guest today is Marcy. She's a wife and a mother. She has first-hand experience with seeing someone change after a traumatic brain injury – it was her husband, Greg. He was not the same person. If you'd like to contact Marcy, she's in the Facebook group – WhatWasThatLike.com/facebook.

Send Steve a Text MessageThe fastest way to stall on guitar is to confuse memory with musicianship. That is where Levi takes us, starting with the honest origin story of learning guitar for the wrong reasons, then quickly finding the right ones: teaching, curiosity, and the addictive moment when a student's “light bulb” turns on.We dig into what actually makes practice work. Levi explains how his Guided Practice Routines grew from years of teaching and from noticing a huge gap in modern guitar education: plenty of people say “practice these scales,” but almost nobody demonstrates how to practice in a way that keeps you engaged, tracks progress, and builds usable skills like fretboard visualization. We talk psychology, structure, and why being “results driven” does not have to mean boring or mechanical.Then we go deep on ear training and transcription, the craft Levi is best known for. He breaks down transcription as reading in reverse, why rhythmic notation and subdivision are the real bottleneck, and why starting simple beats chasing flashy solos. We also get practical about the tools: how he uses Transcribe for looping, why Guitar Pro is still the most learner-friendly format, and why AI cannot replace the human job of deciding where the beat lives and what a phrase means. If you want a clearer process for learning songs, writing accurate tabs, and hearing music inside a full band mix, you will leave with a plan.If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share it with a guitarist who feels stuck, and leave a review so more players can find it.

Today's episode has a content warning for discussion of suicide. Have you ever seen pictures or video of a hoarder house, and just wondered, what is going on? I mean, everyone has a different tolerance level for clutter. But hoarding is not just an issue of having a messy living environment. It's actually classified as a distinct mental illness. The American Psychiatric Association says hoarding is characterized by a persistent, intense inability to discard possessions – leading to significant clutter, distress, and impairment in daily living. My guest for this episode is one of my favorite people – my friend Margy. We've known each other for years through the podcast industry, and she actually told this story originally here on What Was That Like back in 2022. Lots of things have happened with Margy since then, so stick around til the end for an update from her. Margy was an adult when her dad died. She came back home and saw the job that had to be done, and she channeled her grief into energy. And what seemed like an impossible challenge didn't defeat her – rather, it made her unstoppable.

For a lot of people, flying is a really scary thing. And that fear can come from a few different factors. You've heard stories about planes that have crashed (even though it's rare). You're gonna be in this metal tube a few miles above the ground. And you're putting your life in the hands of people you don't even know. Part of flight attendant training is learning how to handle a passenger who has anxiety about flying. If someone steps on to the plane and tells them, “Hey, I'm pretty nervous about this”, they have ways to deal with it. They need to keep that passenger comfortable, and everyone on the plane safe. One thing a fearful passenger can do is ask to meet the pilot. This might not always be possible, but in many cases the pilot is happy to meet a nervous flier and provide some reassurance. Then, a few minutes later when the plane is taking off, you can think “this feels a little scary, but I met the person who's flying the plane, and they seemed to know what they're doing”. But takeoff is just the first part – you still have to get back to earth. What if the plane is landing, and no one – not even the pilot – knows that anything is wrong... Until you hit the ground.

Sometimes, technology can almost seem like magic. That's how I think sometimes about cell phones. I mean, you can just pull a little device out of your pocket, tap a couple of things on the screen, and suddenly you're talking in real time to some other person, who can be anywhere in the world? I know we take this for granted now, but it's pretty amazing. There was a little trick I used to do sometimes, with Skype. Remember Skype? Back in the day, it was pretty cool to be able to use your computer to actually make a phone call. Of course, now we do it all the time with Google Voice. But Skype used to be pretty cutting edge. Anyway, one of the features of having a Skype account was 3-way calling. You could have a 3-way conversation really easily. So what I would do is pull up the Skype app on my computer, and have my list of contacts on the screen. I would click on my dad's name, so it would start dialing his phone number. Then I would click my brother's name, and it would start dialing HIS phone number. They would both answer the phone, like “Hello?” and I would just stay silent and enjoy the confusion. They each knew their phone rang, and of course they recognized each other's voices, but neither of them had made the call so they had no idea why their phones rang. It was always good for a laugh. But sometimes, a phone call can be traumatic. My guest today is Adam. He was enjoying some solo rock-climbing one day, and was on the phone with his roommate, Rachel. That phone call became one that neither of them will ever forget. Adam is on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aaiaiaaoui/ This is Adam's band, Birdnest - https://www.instagram.com/birdnest.music/ Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/248 Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.
