I’m coming to you live from Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena, California, where I got to sit down with my friend, author Jess Walter. We chatted in front of a packed house (including a few friendly dogs) and now we’re sharing that event with the rest of you. Jess is not only my go-to buddy to text about all things basketball; he’s an accomplished novelist who can skewer the Hollywood elite just as easily as he can wryly observe the local inhabitants of his hometown of Spokane, Washington. We dissect his new novel, So Far Gone, a story rife with humor, heart, and perspective in uncertain times. Plus, Jess shares the wisdom he learned from his father and how fictional characters can do the often hard work of building empathy. Find Jess’s novel, So Far Gone, wherever books are sold: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/so-far-gone-jess-walter Fail Better is now on YouTube! Watch this episode here.

There's a complicated set of emotions when a director works with an actor who passes after filming his final scenes. The director of the new historical fiction drama 1992 shares what it was like when one of his stars, Ray Liotta, passed away, the minefields of a racially charged story, and how Christopher Ammanuel could be the next Denzel Washington.

Western Edition: Hidden Pasadena shares six little-known Pasadena stories, from Simons brickyard to Vroman's bookstore, St. Barnabas church to the Shoya House at The Huntington. It also considers Pasadenans from the past, from John Brown's children to John Birch's followers.

Fellas, today's episode is near and dear to my heart because I'm here with my very own Front Row Dad, Rick Vroman. Many of you are likely aware of my father's impact in shaping the man I am today, but we're digging a little deeper here and going back to my father's childhood and taking a peek into our own evolution as fathers. You'll hear what it was like for my father to grow up with a pretty demanding dad and his experiences and importance of hard work and providing for his family. But we'll also get into some fun stuff like fishing trips, where our athletic bloodlines and my entrepreneurial spirit come from, and some family traditions that go way back. We talked about the bond we share of never feeling pressured to follow in our father's footsteps, why my Dad never tried to nudge me toward a specific career or path in sports, and how the best parts of moving around so much as a child allowed me to explore and reinvent myself.  Finally, we talked about our Family Cornerstones document that my Dad created when I was very young, why he wrote it, and how much that document still means to both of us to this day. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there! A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through… Rick's childhood with a very demanding father  Carving your own path is sports, not your Dad's  Wishing for more heart-to-heart convos Parenting goal: Make the next generation better  Embracing responsibility, hard work and persistence The different seasons of fatherhood Being happy by NOT following in your father's footsteps What if we made different choices as young fathers?

In this episode, Part 2 of my conversation with Kuniko Vroman, we talk about how she started Helping Hoof⁠⁠, her non-profit, equine-assisted therapeutic services organization. Then, we talk more about the therapeutic experiences Kuniko facilitated for me as I worked with the horses. If you haven't listened to Part 1 of our conversation you might want to go back and start there. Through working with Kuniko, I was able to overcome a lifelong fear of horses and gain invaluable insights into myself and my default ways I'd been walking in the world that were no longer serving me. To connect with Kuniko or learn more about equine-assisted therapeutic activities and services, check out her website for Helping Hoof⁠, the non-profit  501(c)(3) organization she founded that provides equine assisted therapeutic activities to individuals experiencing mental, physical or developmental challenges.  You can also follow her on Instagram at ⁠@helpinghoofeaat⁠.   You can follow me on Instagram at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@karen.e.osborne⁠⁠⁠⁠ Click on this link to join Club Sandwich (the LITSZ Private Facebook Group): ⁠⁠⁠⁠LITSZ_Club_Sandwich⁠   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/karen-osborne9/message

In keeping with the theme of mental health awareness this month, this week I'm sharing with you about yet another outside-the-box therapy modality. This one involves horses.   I first became curious about equine therapy (aka “horse therapy”) when Linny was in residential mental health treatment. In the programming at “res” (as it's often called), each week the treatment facility would take participants on a trek out to a place that specialized in equine-assisted psychotherapy. Equine Assisted Psychotherapy has been shown to help with a myriad of challenges – such as, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, anger management, trauma and recovery. The horses act as a sort of a mirror for the person they are working with and provide direct and non-judgmental feedback that helps clients to become grounded in the present moment, identify unproductive patterns, and create change in the moment. (You can check out Stand InBalance for more information.) In this week (and next week's) episode, I talk with equine-assisted therapeutic facilitator, Kuniko Vroman. I connected with Kuniko after having repeated soul-stirrings that kept nudging me to try equine therapy. By following a series of Divinely inspired breadcrumbs, I connected with Kuniko and, before returning to work from my leave of absence, met with her weekly for a short while to see what this horse therapy thing was all about.  If you haven't noticed by now--I'm a talker. So, when Kuniko and I sat down to talk about all things equine-assisted psychotherapy/therapeutic services, we talked…and talked…and talked. The next thing I knew, we'd been talking for over 2 hours! We covered so many good subjects that I couldn't bring myself to edit our conversation down to only one episode. Hence, you get back-to-back weeks horsing around with us!   To connect with Kuniko or learn more about equine-assisted therapeutic activities and services, check out her website HelpingHoof.org. Helping Hoof, is the non-profit  501(c)(3) organization Kuniko founded to fulfill her mission of providing equine assisted therapeutic activities to individuals experiencing mental, physical or developmental challenges.    You can also follow her on Instagram at @helpinghoofeaat.   You can follow me on Instagram at: ⁠⁠⁠@karen.e.osborne⁠⁠⁠ Click on this link to join Club Sandwich (the LITSZ Private Facebook Group): ⁠⁠⁠LITSZ_Club_Sandwich   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/karen-osborne9/message

Our guest today is Dr. Hank Schlinger. He's a professor at California State University in Los Angeles. Hank got into the field through working with kids with autism through his undergraduate program. He practiced ABA techniques, which were then known as behavioral modification, and the results he witnessed in the children he worked with made a lasting impact on him. Today, Hank is a successful author of several books, including “How to Build Good Behavior and Self-Esteem in Children”, which puts ABA in practical terms for readers. There's a misconception amongst teachers and parents that bad behavior needs to be punished out of a child. It takes much more than a book or a workshop to change this perception and much more involved training is needed. It might be more helpful for agencies to shift their focus on parents and family members instead of teachers. Parental coaching is so important, and some ABA practitioners might be averse for any number of reasons. Using a book like Dr. Schlinger's helps provide a road map for those in the field who may struggle with helping parents understand the importance of working with behavioral techniques. We don't place enough of an emphasis on self-esteem and how poor self-esteem can reinforce bad behavior. Whether you're new in the field or you're a seasoned veteran, being grounded in experimental analysis greatly helps you come up with solutions for a variety of situations. Thinking critically and problem-solving is a foundational skill and we need to do better as a field in these areas, especially when it comes to training. What's Inside:Why parental involvement and practice is so important in creating lasting behavioral changes.Why parent coaching should be a focus in ABA and what to do when practitioners are averse.How fostering positive self-esteem in children helps reinforce good behavior.Why critical thinking and problem-solving are foundational skills as a practitioner.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagramwww.buildgoodbehavior.comDr. Hank Schlinger on InstagramBooks: Introduction to Scientific PsychologyA Behavior Analytic View of Child DevelopmentHow To Build Good Behavior and Self-Esteem in Childrenalso available at: Vroman's BookstoreBF Skinner and the Revolutionary Science of Behavior

The boys are back in town! Going back to our roots for this episode THE LAST ACTION HEROES take to the grimy, crime ridden streets of San Francisco in a beat-up blue Cadillac convertible as we check out the gritty 1982 odd-couple classic 48HRS.Whilst investigating a simple case of credit card fraud, grizzled San Francisco cop Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) has a bloody encounter with recently escaped convict Albert Ganz (James Remar) and his psychotic right hand man Billy Bear (Sonny Landham in his 386th role as Billy). Barely getting away with his life and wanting revenge, Cates takes on the case to track down these violent fugitives and bring them to justice…dead or alive. Enlisting the help of ex-gang member Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy), who is currently serving the last few months of a 3-year prison sentence, Cates has 48hrs to crack the case and find Ganz before his informant Reggie must return to his cell and Ganz and Billy Bear skip town with Reggie's nest egg: $500,000. Will the duo be able to put aside their differences and work together? Will Reggie finally get some? Will Dan ever manage to construct a cohesive sentence in this episode?With a slew of hard-hitting writing talent, stark narrative and visual contrasts, layers of dark humour and a stellar breakout performance from Eddie Murphy in his first film role, we get into this surprisingly hard-boiled, violent movie that would go on to set the formula for the buddy cop sub-genre for years to come.Featuring the whiskey breakfast chugging, ‘one day till retirement' tones of Hardboiled Grumpy Detective Jack'SPER Cates, LEON-ggie Hammond, Billy BJORN, and Albert DANz.This episode is brought to you by Vroman's in the Fillmore, where the party goes on 48hrs a day. ---------- Find us on Twitter: @TL_ActionHeroes Or find us on Instagram: @thelastactionheroespodcast

Please follow us on your favorite podcasting app, and if you are up for leaving a rating or review there, we would be very grateful!Show NotesIf you'd like to order signed copies of The Soulmate Equation, check out Vroman's Bookstore or the other book shops on CLo's virtual book tour. Tonight, 5/19/2021, Christina and Lauren are celebrating the launch of The Soulmate Equation with Sarah, Xio Axelrod, and Rachel Epstein. If you want to dive into the Theranos story, Lo recommends the book Bad Blood by John Carreyrou, and the New York Times has a list of recommended things to read and watch. 23 & Me and other DNA Ancestry tests can tell you some things: whether or not you think cilantro tastes like soap, and about the size of our hair follicles, but as of right now, science can't tell you much about your fated mate, I mean soulmate.Questions about the future of technology and how it intersects with humanity make for great television in shows like Black Mirror, The One, and Casual.I don't know, maybe you've heard about there being a fundamental incompatibility between science and religion, but others are pretty sure we can work it out.If you're not a sportsball fan, Michael Jordan is a kind of a big deal. Aphrodisia was a short-lived Kensington imprint that focused on erotica and erotic romance, it ran from 2006 to 2014. Jen asked if it was Ellora's Cave, which was another powerhouse erotic romance publisher that shuttered in 2014. A satyr is a magical creature from Greek mythology, so we're not sure if they 1) have two dicks and 2) if they are covered in soft fur. You're going to have to use your own imagination.We all hope that Nicholas the satyr is a little sexier that Mr. Tumnus from the movie version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.Slate had a woman asking for advice about her pandemic threesome with two brothers, and you can tell a romance reader didn't write that advice, because probably they could work that out. Jen alerted Jenny Nordbak immediately, of course. Are you also looking for monster fucking romances? If you need a quick review on alpha traits, listen to our episode from season two.Knotting isn't just for A/B/O, it's also in romance. Same with mPreg romances and DP (which no one has made a list of!), in case you need a primer. Lo is looking for a romance that she thinks is called Passionate Ink about an octopus shifter tattoo artist...Maybe? Christina wants your favorite mPreg romance recommendation. We'll also take marriage of convenience recs and secret scar recs if you're in the mood.More about the word "quim" and how it was used in that Avengers movie. Next up, Tangled Lies by Anne Stuart. Buy it used because it's not avaible as an eBook.

We're talking Sherry Thomas's beautiful, unrequited love/marriage of convenience story Ravishing the Heiress this week — we'll talk about angst, about why we love yearning so much, about our feelings about heroes who are dummies, about homes vs. houses, and about Victorians being E X T R A.Next week, we're back with the delightful Christina Lauren to play a very fun game with bananas romance novels and celebrate the launch of their fabulous book (now Sarah's favorite CLo book), The Soulmate Equation. Preorder it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Bookshop.org, or signed from Vroman's bookstore! We're also going to announce our next read along now, because it's out of print (but available in audio!), so you will have to do a bit of a used bookstore hunt to get it!

Please follow us on your favorite podcasting app, and if you are up for leaving a rating or review there, we would be very grateful!Show NotesThis is the Eurographics Moon Puzzle that Jen is doing, and it's too hard. There is a very funny tweet thread trying to drag the Shadow and Bone TV show, but the replies are terrific. Jen was texting Sarah in the middle of the night about Ravishing the Heiress, because of the angst! Here's an interview where Sherry Thomas talks about how reading romance influenced her as a writer.We talked about time slip quite a bit on the episode for A Matter of Class by Mary Balogh.Millie is 16 at the beginning of the book, and because Jen forgot to talk about it, she wrote a thread about Sherry's deep respect for teenage girls. A little bit about the history of tinned food and the rise of advertising in Victorian England.All about the dormouse and keeping them as pets, if you're into that sort of thing. Give us some credit for not making a joke about Of Mice and Men, thank you. The Victorians were super extra. Here's a primer on women in business in the Victorian era. Floriography is the Victorian name for the language of flowers, which ascribes meanings to flowers and plants. For example, chrysanthemums and lavender (and yes rosemary is for remembrance is from Hamlet) have very specific meanings. If you're interested, check out the book Floriography: An Illustrated Guide to the Victorian Language of Flowers by Jessica Roux. Bees that make honey from the nectar of lavender flowers is a different thing than people who make lavender-infused honey. Now you know!Infidelity in Romance is tricky, and Sarah's book Day of the Duchess is an example, and there really aren't that many out there. The myth of Cupid & Psyche in literature and art. In Season 4 of The Crown, the scene where Camilla Parker-Bowles takes Diana is based in truth, but the name of the restaurant was not Menage a Trois. Raise a glass to the incomparable Olympia Dukakis.Next up, we're dialing the banana phone with Tangled Lies by Anne Stuart. Join BestFriendKelly's Sticker of the Month Club.
