When we talk about mythic fiction, it's easy to assume mythic stories are created through familiar ingredients: archetypes, symbolism, old myths, epic structure. But I don't think that's where mythic storytelling begins. In this post/podcast, I explore seven practices and mindsets that help writers reconnect with what the lost art of mythmaking--not just  borrowing of old symbolic forms, but accessing the deeper creative process from which meaningful stories emerge in the first place. We talk about: • Why mythic stories often feel like they come *through* us rather than *from* us • How dreamzoning and flow states support deeper storytelling • Why "shoulds" can block archetypal imagination • How asking questions opens access to mythic resonance • The deeper shape beneath story structure • Why confronting the shadows matters for writers • How mythic storytelling functions as transformation and initiation Mythic fiction isn't just a genre or an aesthetic. At its deepest level, it is a way of relating to story itself. If you've ever wanted to write stories that feel more alive, more resonant, or more meaningful, but weren't sure how to move beyond technique alone, this conversation offers a practical place to begin. 01:50 What Is Mythic Fiction? 02:34 What Mythic Fiction Is Not 04:07 What Mythic Fiction Is 05:12 The Lost Art of Mythmaking 06:31 Practice #1: Entering the Flow State 08:49 Practice #2: Clear the "Shoulds" That Block Archetypal Imagination 09:58 Practice #3: Ask Questions Instead of Arriving With Answers 11:32 Practice #4: Study the Deeper Shape Beneath Story Structure 12:56 Practice #5: Study the Stories That Create Mythic Resonance 15:07 Practice #6: Be Fearless Enough to Enter the Shadows 17:11 Practice #7: Approach Archetypal Storytelling With Humility and Responsibility 18:16 Learning How to Imagine Better 19:22 Writing Masterclass: Alchemizing Plot, Character, and Theme Read the transcript: https://helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/how-to-write-mythic-fiction-practices LINKS & RESOURCES Want More?

CardioNerds (Drs. Rawan Amir, Tripti Gupta, and Alysha Joseph) discuss the fundamentals of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) surgery with Dr. Elizabeth Stephens.  Audio editing by CardioNerds academy intern, Grace Qiu.  Using a case of a young adult undergoing a Ross procedure, the episode walks through what happens in the operating room—from induction and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), myocardial protection, and surgical repair. The discussion highlights key concepts including cardioplegia, cross-clamp and bypass times, hypothermic circulatory arrest, and the complexity of redo sternotomy. This episode provides learners with a practical framework to interpret operative reports, anticipate postoperative physiology, and better collaborate with surgical teams. This episode was produced by the CardioNerds ACHD Council and planned by Dr. Rawan Amir.  CardioNerds Adult Congenital Heart Disease PageCardioNerds Episode Page Pearls “LV distension kills patients.”Preventing left ventricular distension with appropriate venting and awareness of aortic insufficiency is critical to intraoperative safety.  TEE can change the surgical plan in real time.Findings such as underestimated aortic regurgitation, mitral pathology, or a PFO may directly alter cannulation and cardioplegia strategy.  Cross-clamp time = myocardial ischemic time; bypass time = systemic stress.Both are key predictors of postoperative complications including renal injury, bleeding, and ventricular dysfunction.  Redo sternotomy risk is driven by anatomy, not just number.Aorta adherent to the sternum, conduit position, and chamber pressurization define risk more than the number of prior surgeries.  Think longitudinally—ACHD surgery is lifetime planning.Surgical materials and strategies must account for future interventions, especially in younger patients. Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Alysha Joseph, aided by generative artificial intelligence. What are the key steps in congenital cardiac surgery from incision to closure? Preoperative planning is multidisciplinary, involving surgeon, anesthesia, cardiology, and ICU teams; high-risk inductions (e.g., critical AS, Williams syndrome) are identified early TEE is performed immediately after induction to reassess anatomy and may reveal new findings (e.g., underestimated AI, mitral disease, PFO) Median sternotomy is performed, followed by creation of a pericardial well to optimize exposure Heparin is administered prior to cannulation; arterial and venous cannulas are placed for initiation of CPB Cross-clamp is applied and cardioplegia delivered to arrest the heart, allowing a still and protected operative field Surgical repair (e.g., Ross procedure) is performed, followed by de-airing, cross-clamp removal, and reperfusion Patient is weaned from bypass with TEE reassessment, hemostasis achieved, and chest closed What is cardioplegia and how is it delivered? Cardioplegia is a potassium-rich solution that arrests myocardial activity and reduces metabolic demand Most commonly used solution in the U.S. is Del Nido cardioplegia, originally developed for pediatric myocardium Delivery strategies include: Antegrade (via aortic root) – standard approach  Ostial (direct coronary delivery) – used when aortic root cannot be relied upon  Retrograde (via coronary sinus) – useful in severe AI or coronary disease NOTE: Severe aortic regurgitation can impair antegrade delivery and requires alternative strategies and LV venting  What do cross-clamp time and bypass time represent clinically? Cross-clamp time = duration of myocardial ischemia while the heart is arrested Bypass time = total duration on CPB, reflecting systemic exposure to non-physiologic circulation Prolonged cross-clamp time (>2–3 hours) increases risk of myocardial dysfunction, especially with poor baseline function Longer bypass time is associated with increased risk of renal injury, coagulopathy, and bleeding These metrics often reflect both case complexity and intraoperative challenges What is hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) and when is it used? HCA involves complete cessation of blood flow to allow a bloodless surgical field Typically used in complex aortic arch repairs Patients are cooled to ~18°C to reduce metabolic demand and protect organs Duration is ideally limited to

For nearly three decades, Comic Book Resources was one of the most influential destinations in comics journalism. What began as a fan-driven website in the mid-1990s grew into a daily stop for comic book news, creator interviews, reviews, industry rumors, and commentary, helping shape the way fans followed the business and culture of comics online.Today we're talking with the man who started it all, Jonah Weiland. We'll go back to the early days of the internet, when comics fandom was finding its voice online, and discuss how CBR evolved from a labor of love into one of the most recognized comic book media brands in the world. We'll talk about the site's groundbreaking columns, its relationships with publishers and creators, the challenges of covering an ever-changing industry, and what it was like building a digital comics community long before social media existed.But Jonah's story doesn't end with CBR. He also spent time at DC Comics working in publicity, giving him a unique perspective from both sides of the comics media landscape. We'll discuss that chapter of his career, what he learned promoting some of the industry's biggest projects, and how the business of comics has changed over the years.These days Jonah has turned his attention to the stage as an actor and playwright. We'll talk about his creative journey beyond comics and his latest play, Coffee Date, currently being performed at the Hollywood Fringe Festival.

“Perimenopause likes to really throw us through a loop, and things that might have previously been stable no longer feel so predictable.” - Vanessa Weiland, NP, HT, MSCPEven with the expanding conversation on perimenopause, our clients and patients with chronic illness are still being left out. The one-size-fits-all approach doesn't address those with hypermobility syndromes, mast cell activation syndrome, dysautonomia, or complex chronic illness. In perimenopause, conditions you've dealt with for years can change significantly. Symptoms that were manageable for years suddenly become more intense, pain patterns shift, sleep becomes less reliable, and many women find themselves wondering whether this is "just perimenopause" or something else entirely.What makes this phase especially challenging is that hormones don't operate in isolation. Estrogen, progesterone, connective tissue health, immune function, mast cells, autonomic regulation, sleep, and stress physiology interact simultaneously. Myopically looking at menopause through the lens of hot flashes and hormone replacement therapy makes us miss the much more complex reality facing women who are already navigating chronic health conditions. For these patients, finding stability often requires a more personalized and layered approach.In today's episode, I'm joined by Vanessa Weiland, a nurse practitioner, menopause specialist, and founder of Phases Clinic, known online as Bendy Menopause. Vanessa shares her journey with hypermobility and chronic pain and explains why perimenopause can be such a pivotal transition for women with connective tissue disorders and related conditions. We discuss the relationship between hormones, mast cells, and the nervous system, why standard menopause protocols don't always work for this population, how progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone can affect symptoms differently, practical strategies for building a supportive clinical team, the overlap between hypermobility, long Covid, trauma, chronic pain, and neurodiversity, why small, individualized changes over time are often the key to helping these patients feel better, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/bendy-menopause-strategies-for-care-with-heds-and-other-hypermobility-spectrum-disorders-with-vanessa-weiland/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).Find and follow us @integrativewomenshealth on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@integrativewomenshealth) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/integrativewomenshealth/).

What makes a story feel truly mythic? Many writers assume mythic fiction comes from borrowing archetypes, retelling old myths, or layering symbolic imagery into a story. While there is immense value in studying mythology, fairy tales, folklore, and archetypal storytelling traditions, something important has been lost in many modern conversations about mythic fiction. The old myths aren't powerful merely because of their plot structure or symbolism. They are powerful because they emerged from their creator's living relationship with symbol, transformation, mystery, dream, and the deeper psyche. In this episode, I explore: •    Why so much modern "mythic storytelling" can feel strangely hollow  •    The difference between inherited myth and living myth  •    Why writers often approach archetypes from the outside in  •    How mythic resonance actually emerges in story  •    Why mythic storytelling matters during times of cultural transformation  •    How writers can reconnect to the symbolic imagination itself  What if the role of the writer is not simply to preserve mythology, but to participate in it? If you've ever wanted to write stories that feel more resonant, symbolic, emotionally alive, or spiritually meaningful, this episode explores the deeper source from which mythic fiction arises. 02:45 How Modern Writers Understand Mythic Fiction and Archetypal Storytelling 03:58 The Mythological and Folk Tale Lens for Mythic Fiction 04:32 The Anthropological & Psychological Lens for Mythic Fiction 05:10 Pop Culture & the Mythic Retelling 06:27 Studying Myth vs. Writing Mythic Fiction 09:03 Borrowing vs. Accessing Symbols 11:17 Inherited Myth vs. Living Myth 12:16 Mythic Fiction in Cultural Times of Transformation 13:43 Our Relationship to the Old Stories Grows Thin 14:55 Mythic Fiction Requires the Partnership of Intuition and Intellect 16:11 Mythic Fiction Reconnects Writers to the Deep Source of Story 18:38 The Need for New Myths in a Changing World 20:15 New Myths, Ancient Roots 21:15 Participating in Myth as Much as Preserving It 21:59 Reconnecting to Myth in Your Own Writing Process Read the transcript: https://helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/how-to-write-mythic-fiction LINKS & RESOURCES Want More?

For most of human history, stories were not primarily viewed as commercial products to be sold. Story functioned first as myth, meaning-making, entertainment, cultural memory, and a way of understanding ourselves and the world around us. But in today's marketplace-driven culture, storytelling exists almost entirely within commercial systems—something that inevitably shapes not just what we create, but how we relate to story itself. In this episode, I explore the tension between story as product and story as something deeper, older, and more archetypal. From publishing culture and content creation to commercial pressure and creative burnout, modern storytelling increasingly exists inside systems designed around visibility, productivity, and sales. And although those systems offer real opportunities for writers, they can also subtly reshape not just what we create, but our relationship to the creative process itself. Writers deserve to be supported for their work, and stories deserve to reach audiences. But it's worth examining how the modern entertainment marketplace influences our understanding of story—particularly when success metrics begin to overshadow resonance, meaning, and the deeper relationship many writers feel toward creativity itself. We explore: - Story as process vs product - Commercial storytelling vs archetypal storytelling - The commodification of story - Creative flow vs content production - The relationship between marketplace culture and creative burnout - How writers can balance commercial success with creative wholeness This episode is an invitation to reexamine what story is, what role storytellers serve in society, and how writers can remain connected to the deeper meaning of story while still navigating the realities of the marketplace.

Many writers are struggling with burnout in today's creative landscape—but the cause isn't always personal habits. In this episode, I explore why writer burnout sometimes has less to do with storytelling itself and more to do with the conditions surrounding modern creative work. From constant output and visibility to the subtle pressure to keep up, many writers are navigating an environment that reshapes not just what we create but how writing feels. If writing has started to feel heavier, more resistant, or more like effort than discovery, this conversation looks at what that might be signaling beneath the surface. This is an exploration of the deeper emotional toll of writing today, the difference between creative process and content production, and how writers can begin to reframe burnout not as failure, but as information about alignment. 1:54 Maybe It's Not Writing.

Miss Heard celebrates Season 7, Episode 343, where I unpack the hidden meaning behind “Interstate Love Song” by Stone Temple Pilots, focusing on Scott Weiland's haunting lyric “hand in rusted shame” as a metaphor for addiction, guilt, and the lies that erode trust. We explore how the song reflects Weiland's real-life struggle with heroin and a fractured relationship built on deception. Beneath its smooth, radio-friendly sound lies a deeply personal confession about distance, denial, and the consequences of dishonesty.

What does it mean to think of story as cosmology? In this episode, I explore story not as entertainment or belief, but as a deeper framework for meaning—one that helps humans understand change, transformation, and lived experience. When I talk about story as cosmology, I'm pointing to the idea that story functions beneath ideology and belief systems, shaping how we make sense of crisis, consequence, and change. Long before we articulate doctrines about the world, we experience life through story, and long after specific ideologies strain or collapse, the shape of story remains. This episode looks at: – Story as a pattern reflecting something larger – Why archetypal story structure mirrors lived patterns of transformation – How story holds under stress in ways rigid systems often don't – What this understanding asks of writers and storytellers today This is a reflection on story as shape, pattern, and process, and why that matters so deeply to human experience.

We're living in a storytelling moment deeply fascinated by darkness—and for good reason. Stories have always helped us metabolize fear, trauma, and moral failure. But darkness is not meant to be the destination. In this episode, I explore why writers need a sense of wonder in fiction, not as escapism or denial, but as a way of completing the story arc. Wonder is what allows stories to move through the descent rather than getting stuck there and to imagine a future still worth moving toward. This is a reflection on how stories work psychologically and culturally, why so many books already carry hope with quiet integrity, and how writers (often without realizing it) contribute to building meaning, courage, and care through the stories they tell. In This Episode, We Explore: Why dark stories play an essential role in storytelling The danger of getting stuck in the descent Why stories must complete the arc The sense of wonder in fiction as moral imagination How stories help us imagine a future worth moving toward Links & Resources

This excerpt details an Advent sermon delivered by Pastor Todd Weiland, centered on Psalm 2, which establishes the seasonal theme of hope and preparation for the return of Jesus Christ. Weiland argues that all human rebellion against God's authority is futile and ineffective, stressing that God remains sovereign despite global chaos and individual sinfulness. The core message is a dual warning and invitation to trust and take refuge in Jesus, highlighting that true freedom comes through surrendering self-rule to the Messiah. To emphasize the practical power of this refuge, the pastor shares an extensive personal testimony detailing his recent struggles with severe health issues, including multiple surgeries for cancer and injuries. He concludes by explaining how God orchestrated a "combination surgery" as a tangible miracle, proving that Christ is a present refuge who provides hope and blessing to those who put their faith in Him.Support the showThanks for listening!

Do you ever feel stuck in the "in-between" sections of your story that come after one major plot point but before the next? You're not alone. Many writers can identify the big beats of their story's structure, but find the real challenge is connecting those plot points in a way that feels organic and alive. In this episode, K.M. Weiland shares a powerful shift in perspective: learning to see your story not just as a list of beats or acts, but as eight connected sections, each one shaped by the turning point before it and driving toward the one ahead. You'll learn how to: Build scene sequences instead of isolated scenes. Use the Intent–Reaction–New Intent rhythm to maintain momentum. Let each section take on its own thematic color to keep the story flowing. Drawing examples from The Lion King, K.M. shows how the "in-between moments" are where character transformation truly unfolds. If you've ever felt your story sag between the big events, this episode will help you fill those spaces with purpose, emotion, and movement.

We know that you know your neuro clients have a pelvic floor… but are you doing anything to help it?? You may be surprised how many of your clients have weak, tight, spastic, or flaccid pelvic floors, and the issues arising from this may be preventing them from fully engaging in their lives. If you want to help but don't know where to start, this episode is for you! We break it down for the non-pelvic floor PT and give you the skinny on how to screen and incorporate an easy, functional progression of activities into what you're already doing with your neuro clients. Grace Weiland, PT, DPT, CAPP-PH, a physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor therapy, shares her expertise on an often overlooked but critical aspect of treating pelvic floor dysfunction in neurological rehabilitation. Working in a rural critical access hospital, Grace highlights the importance of pelvic floor health for all patients, not just those with specific pelvic issues. She explains that pelvic floor dysfunction can significantly impact quality of life, leading to social isolation and reduced participation in activities. Grace discusses how pelvic floor problems are common but not normal, emphasizing the need for healthcare providers to approach the topic professionally and sensitively. She offers practical strategies for screening and addressing pelvic floor issues, including breathing techniques, functional exercises, and subtle strengthening methods that don't require invasive interventions. The conversation reveals the interconnectedness of pelvic floor health with overall body mechanics, highlighting how exercises targeting stability, balance, and proper breathing can improve pelvic floor function. Grace will be presenting a detailed webinar on this topic during the upcoming NeuroSpark quadrimester, breaking down approaches for different neurological impairments and providing clinicians with valuable tools to support their patients' comprehensive rehabilitation. **A correction note from the episode: The pelvic floor co-activates when any of the following 4 muscles are activated: glute max, hip adductors, Transverse abdominus, obturator internus.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2023 conversation with Robert De Leo of Stone Temple Pilots. ABOUT ROBERT DE LEORobert De Leo is best known for his work in Stone Temple Pilots. Collaborating with lyricist and vocalist Scott Weiland, Robert wrote or co-wrote the music for many of the group's classic songs, including “Plush,” “Creep,” “Wicked Garden,” “Vaseline,” “Interstate Love Song,” “Big Bang Baby,” “Down,” “Hollywood Bitch,” and “Between the Lines.” Outside of their music in Stone Temple Pilots, Robert and his brother Dean have also written and recorded songs for their band Talk Show, as well as Army of Anyone, which is a collaboration with Filter frontman Richard Patrick. Since the death of Weiland and subsequent lead singer Chester Bennington, the De Leo brothers and drummer Eric Kretz continue to make music as Stone Temple Pilots with current vocalist Jeff Gutt. At the time of our conversation, Robert had released his debut solo album, Lessons Learned, a deeply personal collection of original songs. Featuring a handful of guest singers, it's a different sound than listeners might expect from De Leo, exploring the vibes of Laurel Canyon, Americana, roots music, and a healthy dose of one of Robert's musical heroes, Glen Campbell. In this episode you'll hear a lot of great new music and gain a deeper appreciation for some of the amazing Stone Temple Pilots catalog as Robert grabs his guitar and breaks down some of those classics in mind-blowing depth. This is one of our favorite Songcraft conversations, and you definitely won't want to miss it.

Dogs are Smarter Than People/Write Better Now Last week, we talked about pinch points both on the podcast and on the blog, and honestly? Nobody seemed super into it, but we're finishing up this week. This post is going to be a bit more about the first part of act two of a three-act story, focusing on the time from the first pinch point to the midpoint. Pause for a plea: Look, I know plot structure isn't sexy the way character development or drama and obstacles and conflict are, but it's super important. It makes a difference in your book wooing readers and in it wooing agents. K.M. Weiland has a really lovely graphic that we've included in the podcast notes about where to put those pinch points. Weiland is a bit of a goddess about structure and what she says about this first pinch point is this: It comes about 37% of the way into the story. It tells us that the bad guy has some power. It can be a whole big scene or just the tiniest of moments It sets up “the next 1/8th of the story, in which the character will slowly begin to grow into a new awareness of his story's many truths–and specifically the truth about the nature of the conflict in which he is engaged.” Right after this big and important pinch point, the hero of your story aka your protagonist moves into the section of the book that comes before the book's halfway point or midpoint. Weiland calls this space from 37% to 50% a realization place and scenes for your character growth. The protagonist understand what's going on a bit more. She starts to react with that knowledge informing her reactions and then her actions. Cool, right? She writes, “In itself, the First Pinch Point does not reveal the true nature of the conflict to the protagonist. Rather, it foreshadows it by providing a peek at facts the protagonist has barely grasped as yet.” She uses the movie ALIEN a lot to explain this. At the first pinch point, the crew realizes that the alien creature isn't what they were thinking it was. Their choices start to be informed by that until the midpoint, which Weiland calls the MOMENT OF TRUTH. At the midpoint in ALIEN that alien smashes its way out of one of the crew's chest. The truth of what they are dealing has exploded in the ship and on the screen (and on your novel's page). “It's instructive when watching movies to observe the protagonist's facial expressions prior to the Moment of Truth and then afterward. Before the Midpoint, he'll often look baffled as he struggles to keep up with the conflict. Then the light dawns in his eyes at the Midpoint, and from that moment on, there's a look of knowing determination on his face,” she writes. Larry Brooks defines pinch points as “An example, or reminder, of the nature and implications of the antagonist force, that is not filtered by the hero's experience.” DOG TIP FOR LIFE Sometimes in life, your defining moments don't come at the midpoint. - Mr. Murphy So, what he's saying is don't think that there are certain points and ages in your life where you have to get things done. Life is not a book and it doesn't need to be a three-act structure. PLACE TO SUBMIT These are via Authors' Publish.

The story can be visually focused, or character/narrative focused, as long as it leaves the reader thinking about the story long after closing the book.

It doesn't matter if you don't know who the characters are yet, or which character a certain line would be good for. Try not to think about how this could fit into your already existing story, or what scene this should belong in, just write: “Why didn't you answer before? I called you three times. Now you're pretending like nothing happened.” “I just have a lot of friends so…” “You hate coffee?” “It just doesn't seem normal.” “I've developed a kind of aversion to it. I don't know, it made sense at the time.” RANDOM THOUGHT LINK NYT LINKS TO LEARN MORE Larry Brooks, Story Engineering https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-27-2024 SHOUT OUT!

Project 2025 is a 920-page bloated opus about taking our fragile democracy and turning into Christian Nationalist nightmare if Trump gets back into the oval office. And Beth read it!! Well, skimmed some portions because oh my god was this bureaucratic gibberish. But that's the point; onslaught us with so much information, we're too numb to fight back. Listen to part one on Strange Country where Beth and Kelly detail how the Project 2025 authors, an assortment of Garbage Pail kids, pin all of society's ills on “wokeness,” abortion, and gay people having rights. The plan is to get rid of all those things. Theme music: Big White Lie by A Cast of Thousands.

Islands has a new record out called "What Occurs" and Islands lead singer Nick Thorburn couldn't be more stoked to release it Friday June 21st. Lead singer Nick Thorburn leans against the jet black wall of LA's "Club Zebulon" and languidly sips his White Claw spritzer. "I love the new record. It's called "What Occurs"" he offers, blue eyes piercing through the hazy dimness of the hipster mecca. "But the thing is, I spent dozens of hours on this album, I put my friends on it, we collabed on it, it was a beautiful experience putting it together, but here's the thing - A.I. might do a better job than bands." Nick pours himself into a booth at the back of the bar and slides all the way back, like a greased up newborn, to the booth jukebox, where he shuffles through potential selections with his nimble fingers. "The Doors, Bon Jovi, John Cale, Paula Abdul. All the new music sucks" he sputters as he snaps his fingers for a waiter. "Garcon! I'm about to spill!" The server makes their way over as Nick, like a petulant little puck, pours his White Claw spritzer all over the table. "Want a tip, lady? Don't buy no Brooklyn Bridges!" Nick stands and starts "flossing". "My s$$%t blows all that s%^&t out of the water!" All of Club Zebulon is now looking at Nick. "But me and Jon went on a roadtrip and man... AI might just be better than bandssssss!" Nick gyrates like Weiland at a sock-hop. "... I don't care what Jon says, and how good AI writes songs about the 2 Jons Podcast in many genres, it may be better, but can it do THISSSSSS???? Nick smacks the jukebox with his light blue loafer. "Johnny Be Good" comes to life and Nick starts Twisting! And then all of Zeb starts Twisting! "This is just like Back To The Future! With Doc Brown, Marty and the Mom? Weeeeeeeeeeee!" Nick pulls out copies of What Occurs and starts tossing them out like a frisbee golfer on PCP. "One hundred Twenty One Giga-What-Occurs Martyyyyy!" Islands' What Occurs' 11/10 Perfect Record

Stone Temple Pilots, often abbreviated as STP, burst onto the rock scene in the early 1990's, becoming one of the most commercially successful bands of that era.  Their debut album, Core, was released in late September 1992, and we're highlighting it in January 1993 when many of their hits were on the charts.The DeLeo brothers form the heart of the band:  Dean DeLeo's guitar work provides the sonic foundation, and Robert DeLeo's bass playing adds a groove to the band's sound.  Eric Kretz anchors the rhythm section on percussion.  And front man Scott Weiland completes the lineup with his charismatic presence and distinctive vocal style.  Weiland's emotion and raw energy helped make "Core" a pivotal release in the grunge movement."Core" hit he airwaves with a sonic explosion, with an energy that captured the angst and spirit of the early 90's grunge movement.  Several tracks from this album would become anthems of the 90's generation, led by tracks like "Plush" and "Sex Type Thing."  Despite its commercial success (reaching number 3 on the Billboard 200), "Core" was initially met with poor critical reviews, with many critics considering it too derivative of other grunge artists like Nirvana and Pearl Jam.  Over time, however, "Core" would receive more positive reviews as it took its place as a seminal release of the grunge movement.Lynch takes us on this journey back to 1993, when the Stone Temple Pilots were introducing themselves to the world. CreepThis song is a slower, more introspective track that highlights the band's grunge influences.  The lyrics deal with feelings of isolation and alienation, with Weiland delivering a haunting vocal performance.  The acoustic arrangement is a nice contrast to the heavier tracks of the album.Sex Type ThingThe opening track to the album features an aggressive guitar riff and a powerful vocal performance from Weiland.  It was controversial due to its lyrical content, which is written from the perspective of a rapist.  Despite the controversy (or perhaps because of it) “Sex Type Thing” became one of STP's most recognized songs.PlushThis track is arguably the most famous song from the album.  “Plush” showcases STP's softer side with its acoustic guitar intro and catchy chorus.  Weiland's lyrics were inspired by a news story about a woman who was found dead in San Diego, adding a layer of mystery and intrigue to the song.  The video for "Plush" won the band an MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist and features the band playing in various desert scenes.Wicked GardenA hard-hitting rock track known for its gritty guitar riff and energetic chorus, this may be considered a deeper cut.  The song deals with the loss of innocence and the darker side of human nature, themes that recur throughout the album.  Over time “Wicked Garden” has become a fan favorite and a staple of STP's live shows. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme to Star Trek:  Deep Space NineThe third entry into the Star Trek franchise takes place on a fixed space station near the border of the Federation.  It had its debut in January of 1993. STAFF PICKS:Love Is On the Way by Saigon KickBruce leads off the staff picks with a one hit wonder.  Miami-based Saigon Kick released this single from their second album, "The Lizard," and it went to number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Jason Bieler provides guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals for the band, and wrote this song.  Lead vocals are provided by Matt Kramer.  Additional band members were Tom DeFile on bass and Phil Varone on percussion. Regret by New OrderRob brings us the lead song from New Order's sixth studio album, "Republic."  The single went to number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100. New Order formed from the remnants of the band Joy Division.  The album was made in order to save the Hacienda - a Manchester club part owned by the band.  Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now) by CrackerWayne's staff pick is from Cracker's debut album, and features catchy, clever, ironic songs.  The lyrics take a swipe at late 80's and early 90's folk rock songs.  Interestingly, the lyrics do not include the words "Teen Angst."  The track got airplay on alternative radio stations, and went to number 1 on the new Billboard "Modern Rock" chart.All Apologies by NirvanaLynch closes out the staff picks with one of Nirvana's most poignant and introspective works from their third and final studio album "In Utero."  Songwriter and front man Kurt Cobain describes the song as a tribute to his wife and daughter, but it took on significance as a farewell note of sorts after Cobain's death. COMEDY TRACK:Bedrock Anthem by "Weird Al" YankovicWeird Al channels a couple of well-known songs from the Red Hot Chili Peppers for this prehistoric parody.

On this episode of Huntavore, that time old topic of; what are you keeping from the gut pile comes up. Nick employs the help of Poldi Weiland, a traditionalist foodie, homesteader, and host of the Year of Plenty Podcast. Poldi gives some points in why adding organ meat into our everyday diet is worthwhile. In addition, the guys open up about bone stock and its uses more than just soups and stews. So get ready to dig a little deeper, and maybe keep an extra something from this episode of Huntavore. Poldi Weiland joins in from the great state of Montana. Born German, Poldi has been back and forth a few times and has experience with hunting cultures both in the Old world and new. After a brief run through of German hunting culture, NIck notices some similarities of traditions held here in the states. The guys then dig a bit deeper as Poldi explains how organ meat isn't a fad, but honest to goodness real food, for an everyday diet. In Poldi's case its more important to get it down than to fluff it up and fancify it. Mixing it into ground, or even just taking small portions at face value is how he does it. Bone broth has also been an interest of Nick's and Poldi explains the benefits of adding broth or stock to an afternoon drink instead of another coffee. If you enjoy this conversation, please check out the Year of Plenty Podcast with Poldi Weiland.
