Laura and Charles sit down with new friend, writer, and illustrator, Indigo Bailey (recently published in Kill Your Darlings, Island Magazine, and editor of Voiceworks) for the latest instalment of our long tradition of Diva Double Features. This time we take aim at one-miss Juliette Binoche. The latest, but not last, of this fabulous cohort of VP-adored women, is gently and thoroughly celebrated in this new edition. Laura gushes about the deeply evocative and kinda lesbian Clouds of Sils Maria (2014) while also wrestling with the high vs. low-brow casting of Chloë Grace Moretz. We rewind time to Binoche's early career, revisiting the deeply whimsical and still potent Mauvais Sang (1986), where in Paris, the new sexually transmitted virus STBO is ravaging the young and loveless sex-havers.

Thieves (Fence Books, 2023) is an autofictional account of a gallery girl named Valerie – an art worker in the big city, a product of an American childhood in a small place where she learned to value objects and their promise. The magic of being, thinking, speaking, and writing is all bound up for Valerie, a self-conscious creature, in the ways she can acquire and be acquired. She lives and works in a storm of things, many of which are commodities, including herself. In whip-smart, sharply humorous prose, the consumption and reflectivity of a white American young-womanhood lived in a phenomenological endzone comes delicately to life out of the sharp particulars thefted and loved in this urbane, semi-psychedelic bildungsroman. Valerie Werder is an art writer, a fiction author, and a doctoral candidate in film and visual studies at Harvard University. Her critical, creative, and scholarly work has been published in Public Culture, BOMB, Flash Art, and various exhibition catalogues, and has been performed at Participant Inc in New York City, and Artspace in New Haven. Werder is a 2023-23 PEN America Prison and Justice Writing Program Mentor, and was previously a 2021 Art & Law Fellow. Her debut novel, Thieves (2023), was winner of the Fence Modern Prize in Prose.

38,000 people go missing every year in Australia, yet only a small number of these cases garner public interest. In 'The Missing Among Us,' author Erin Stewart explores the issue of missing persons from a variety of perspectives, including the lack of police resources that leave families leading their own searches, the Stolen Generations, and cults. And what drew Erin to the topic is just as fascinating.  Erin talks to Ashley and James about how the ambiguity of living with chronic illness drove her interest in missing persons. 'The Missing Among Us' is 'about finding a space for those conversations about ambiguous circumstances in order to understand the complex issue of missing persons.' She also describes her experiences with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and the research behind her book.  Erin Stewart is a Canberra-based freelance writer who has written for a range of Australian and international publications including Meanjin, Voiceworks, ABC Online, SBS Online, Daily Life, Overland, and many others.

It is undisputed that, in many forms, there is strength in numbers. That is also true in podcasting where building a community around your podcast can aid growth, provide support and even open the door to additional revenue. In this edition Sound Business, we explore the idea of communities within and around podcasting. We will look at issues such as how to build a podcast community, what to do with it once you have and how to leverage them to their full potential.

But what about your voice? Do you feel empowered to communicate, embody your message, and speak your truth? Are there subtle ways to make our voices more powerful and effective?My guest this week on Vox Novus, Lynn Singer, says, “Your voice holds your hidden gifts, passions and power.” Lynn Singer was born with a special voice and an ear for spoken language. For more than thirty years, she has helped people find their voice. She has taught acting, speech and voice at Yale, NYU, The New School, Circle in the Square, The Actors and Directors Lab, the Gene Frankel Theater and at the T. Schreiber Studio in New York City. She has worked with a wide range of clients, from Tony, Emmy, Golden Globe, Pulitzer Prize and Fulbright winners, to Fortune 500 companies and top business and management executives. Lynn has appeared Off-Broadway, on television and film and was a well-known voice of radio and television commercials for two decades.
