Kristina Cho is an award-winning cookbook author, recipe developer, home cook, baker, food stylist, and photographer. Her terrific debut cookbook, Mooncakes and Milk Bread, won her two James Beard awards, and her follow-up, Chinese Enough, is a big favorite of all of us at TASTE. We were so happy to have Kristina in the studio, where we found out about how she pivoted from a career in architecture to work on food full time. It was a bet that paid off, and we dig into Kristina's family history and how she writes her incredibly inspired recipes. Kristina and Matt are appearing together at the Tucson Festival of Books on March 15.Also on the show we have a really fun conversation with Eleanor Wilkinson. She is the author of a very cool new book, One Pot, One Portion.Do you enjoy This Is TASTE? Drop us a review on Apple, or star us on Spotify. We'd love to hear from you.

From Amy: I have been a fan of Linda's gorgeous imagery ever since I met her in an online writing forum. At the time, we were both publishing our books with birds on the cover. The thing about poetry is, sometimes, especially at a moment like now—one week out from pivotal presidential elections in the United States—where the rhetoric has gotten QUITE LOUD, and it's already been a LOUD nearly-decade, our nervous systems need a break. We need soothing words that speak to our humanity. And so this episode is intentionally timed for right now... Beyond that, I love talking with Linda about how she works her magic, and I suspect you will love to hear what she says too.Linda Flaherty Haltmaier is an award-winning author and the Poet Laureate Emeritus of Andover, MA.

Ken DeStefano is an attorney living in New York, who is also a domestic adoptee that was born in the late 1960s. He was raised in a caring and loving home. As an adoptee, he has had a largely happy life, but always wondered about the unknown. That curiosity led to a search for his own birth mother and a reunification with her. His debut novel, I Will See You Again...Hearts Will Sing, tells the story of two people whose past, present, and future lives are inexplicably linked. In 2024, DeStefano was selected by the Tucson Festival of Books for recognition as an “Indie Author,” and his book was also selected as a finalist in the 2024 American Fiction Awards in the Family Saga category.

Acclaimed New York Times award-winning author C.J. Box always delivers a mixture of suspense, the outdoors, and family relationships that are the heart of the Joe Pickett series. And so he does again in THREE-INCH TEETH, the 24thnovel in the Joe Pickett series. In this newest page-turner, Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett faces two different kinds of rampaging beasts—one animal, one human. C. J. chats with Russell and Alan about what inspired this new story about a rogue grizzly bear and an ex-prisoner. Then, Shannon Baker returns to the podcast to introduce her recently released Kate Fox mystery, BULL's EYE, once again set in the Sand Hills of Nebraska. When a top bull breeder is mauled to death at a rodeo, Kate quickly realizes that this so-called accident hides a much darker truth. How deep is the corruption? Who will be left standing? Shannon fills Russell and Alan in on what it was like to research and write about a rodeo and what Kate Fox will be up to next. This week's song, written and performed by Micki Fuhrman, is “You Oughta See Wyoming.” C. J. Box, Shannon Baker, and Micki Fuhrman will all be featured at the Tucson Festival of Books on March 9-10 at the University of Arizona. You can learn more about them in previous episodes of the Cowboy Up Podcast.

The course of his life alters when he encounters a skin-changing warrior who, by all accounts, shouldn’t exist. The journey that follows sets Danso against an enormous conspiracy, of violently suppressed histories, elicit magic, and forbidden lands.

In the ancient. city of Bassa, Danso is a clever scholar on the cusp of achieving greatness—only he doesn’t want it. Instead, he prefers to chase forbidden stories about what lies outside the city walls. The Bassai elite claim there is nothing of interest. The city’s immigrants are sworn to secrecy. But when Danso stumbles across a warrior wielding magic that shouldn’t exist, he’s put on a collision course with Bassa’s darkest secrets.

Cassandra describes the variety of genres the quartet enjoys performing, and their grant-funded project aimed at bringing locally-composed music to their stage. She describes new works composed by Jay Vosk, Russell Ronnebaum of Rogue Theater, Samantha Bounkeua of Rogue Violin, Dante Rosano of Two-Door Hatchback, and Marco Rosano of Orkesta Mendoza. Cassandra talks about this particular instrument and what drew her to it. We also have a conversation about impostor syndrome, (feelings of inadequacy that persist--despite success), and how she learned to take on challenges, even when (especially when) they scare her. Cassandra also talks about her artistic trajectory and her advice for emergent musicians today.

On February 13, 2020, No More Deaths hosted a benefit entitled An Evening with Luis Alberto Urrea at El Casino Ballroom. Luis Alberto Urrea is the acclaimed author of 18 best-selling books. Born in Tijuana, Mexico to a Mexican father and an American mother, Urrea uses his dual-culture life experiences to explore greater themes of love, loss, and triumph. He lived in Tucson for a time in the 90s where he connected with some of his literary heroes, began The Hummingbird's Daughter, and met his wife Cindy. He continues to be a frequent visitor to Tucson and has presented at the Tucson Festival of Books each year since its inception. In part 2 of this 2 part series, Urrea responds to an audience question about The House of Broken Angels. Urrea's extended family throws one last birthday party for their patriarch just before he succumbs to terminal cancer. He also discussed a book that he is working on now about his Anglo mother who served in World War II. No More Deaths is an advocacy group based in Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona, United States, that seeks to end the deaths of undocumented immigrants crossing the desert regions near the United States-Mexico border. Recorded and produced by Amanda Shauger. This is part 2. Thank you for listening to 30 Minutes.

This week we are proud to feature a session from the 2019 Tucson Festival of Books curated by Pima County…
Nature illustrator Beth Surdut has as many stories in her head as she's had homes in her life, and with a life like hers, that's quite a lot! But of all her numerous experiences, perhaps none was as challenging as that most perilous of enterprises -- house hunting in Hawai'i. At the "Home" show in 2015, the Odyssey crowd joined Beth on a strange journey from the death of a beloved friend to the liberal sex lives of stoners, and finally, of course, to Tucson. From Beth's Odyssey bio: You can hear and see nature illustrator Beth Surdut on 89.1 Arizona Spotlight's web page, encouraging listeners to pay attention to the critters that crawl, fly and skitter around us. Her illustrated work, Listening to Raven, won the 2013 Tucson Festival of Books Literary Award for Non-Fiction. Elements of her raven clan have appeared in Orion Magazine, flown across the digitally looped Art Billboard Project in Albany, New York and roosted at the New York State Museum. This episode was performed and recorded in front of a live audience at The Screening Room in Tucson, AZ, on October 1st, 2015, and was curated by Jen Nowicki Clark. For more information about Odyssey Storytelling, please visit www.odysseystorytelling.com
We're at The Tucson Festival Of Books. And questions about what questions to ask when considering a contractor, how new stucco affects the temperature inside your home, latex or oil based primers and the things you should NEVER FLUSH DOWN THE TOILET.

Billy Jensen will also be at the 2019 Tucson Festival of Books on March 2 and 3. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @wildcatcrimepod.

In this episode, Lisa and Melissa discuss goal-setting for the professional editing process. They also share a new Tip of the week- All reviews of your book are valuable! Listen in… EPISODE 5- Indie Editing: Goal-setting First, and I chatted about our weeks. It was the 4th of July weekend, so we both viewed some great fireworks. I’m also hard at work drafting my WIP which is YA sci-fi romance. Lisa, on the other hand, had an incredible encounter with one of her fans from the Tucson Festival of Books. Next, we dove into the main topic for this episode—editing. We discussed the stigma that is sometimes associated with self-publishing in regards to editing. Lisa talked about the beginnings of self-publishing and why the stigma started. I mentioned that independent publishing does not equal amateur publishing. We then talked about our experiences with working with a professional editor. To read more, visit www.indiechicks.net!

Several weeks ago, I attended a wonderful event, the Tucson Festival of Books at the University of Arizona campus. The event is so joyful because it is literary. There were authors talking about a spectrum of topics. There were poetesses, such as Anne Waldman, speaking about the ways of the world. I got to ask Anne a question: do you think women will someday run the world? If so, what form of governance structure will she create? She said we can't know this question until it happens, but that women already rule the world indirectly. Women have gotten into positions of power such as women who are now in the military. Well, I feel strongly that there needs to be a debate about if women solderiers makes a feminist culture arise. I attended several workshops on self-publishing and print on demand. It inspired me to go ahead and publish my online book, Gaia Religion. It might take me a while though because I got to learn now to do everything myself. And so, the fun begins!
