Podcast appearances and mentions of wendy macnaughton

Alison Bechdel‘s cult following for her early comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For grew wildly in response to her graphic memoirs, the best-selling Fun Home, adapted into a Tony Award-winning musical, Are You My Mother?, and The Secret to Superhuman Strength. To many, her name is synonymous with the Bechdel Test, a metric to evaluate a film's representation of women. Her new book, Spent: A Comic Novel, hilariously skewers the absurdities of modern life while delivering a rollicking case for embracing life's messy truths before it's too late.  In Spent, a fictional version of Bechdel lives on a goat sanctuary in Vermont, where she is visited by the older versions of the central characters of Dykes to Watch Out For among others.  On May 27, 2025, Alison Bechdel came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to read from her work, show slides, and answer questions from her fans.  She was introduced by artist Wendy MacNaughton. 

Wendy MacNaughton on her Substack Draw Together talked about negative space this week and she wrote,“Negative Space performs many functions: it focuses our eyes on the subject, it moves our eyes around a drawing or it keeps them still, it allows for visual space/room to breathe, and sometimes it gives the subject an extra layer of meaning.“For example, ever seen this logo before?“Sure, you've probably seen it a million times.“But have you noticed the hidden symbol in the logo?! Focus your attention on the negative space of the logo - the space between the letters. Do you see it? Look between the E and the X. Now do you see the arrow?? YES. It's subtle. It took me YEARS to see it. But once you see the arrow formed by the negative space you can't unsee it. In this case, designer Lindon Leader used the negative space to create an image that informs the meaning of the subject. An arrow takes your package from here to there. Very clever, Lindon.”This obviously has societal implications, which she writes about as well. She talks about sociologist W.E.B Du Bois' work Data Portraits: Visualizing Black America, which shows in data and visualization what was and wasn't going on.In writing, we call this negative space white space, right?How writers use it impacts readers' experiences.It focuses attention on shorter words and paragraphs. It gives a visual break—especially when it's at the end of the scene or chapter, right? A new chapter almost always begins on a new page. There's a reason for that. It's to let that last bit resonate. It's to signal, “Hey! Rock star! You just read a chapter!”So… how do you create white space?Make your sentences shorter. Vary these babies. Make your paragraphs shorter. Vary these babies, too. In articles, make lists. Make sure in dialogue that each person speaking gets their own paragraph. Don't embed the dialogue.WHY NEGATIVE SPACE IS GOOD IN OUR LIVES, TOOLast week, on our blog, I talked about how boredom is actually a pretty awesome thing.But basically, being bored allows us to have creativity, to replenish, to incubate ideas a and thoughts.RANDOM THOUGHT LINKOur random thought came from here.DOG TIP FOR LIFEPOGIE AND MR MURPHY DOG: This is 100% positive truth.

Can death be portrayed as beautiful? In this episode, we share the joy of talking with Wendy MacNaughton (artist, author, graphic journalist) and Frank Ostaseski (Buddhist teacher, author, founder of the Metta Institute and Zen Hospice Project) about using drawings and images as tools for creating human connections and processing death and dying. You may know Wendy as the talented artist behind Meanwhile in San Francisco or Salt Fat Acid Heat. Our focus today, however, was on her most recently published book titled How to Say Goodbye. This beautiful book began as a very personal project for Wendy while she was the artist-in-residence at Zen Hospice. As BJ MIller writes in the foreword, “May this book be a portal -- a way for us to move beyond the unwise territory of trying to ‘do it right' and into the transcendent terrain of noticing what we can notice, loving who we love, and letting death -- like life --surprise us with its ineffable beauty.” Some highlights from our conversation:   The role of art in humanizing the dying process.  How the act of drawing can help us sloooow down, pay attention to the people and world around us, and ultimately let go…  The possibility of incorporating drawings in research and even clinical care.  The wisdom and experiences of hospice caregivers (who are often underpaid and undervalued). How to use the “Five Things” as a framework for a “conversation of love, respect, and closure” with someone who is dying. And finally, Wendy offers a drawing lesson and ONE-MINUTE drawing assignment to help us (and our listeners) be more present and connect with one another. You can read more about this blind contour exercise from Wendy's DrawTogether Strangers project. The rules are really quite simple:  Find another person. Sit down and draw each other for only one minute. NEVER lift up your pen/pencil (draw with a continuous line)  NEVER look down at your paper That's it! While the creative process is what truly matters, we think that the outcome is guaranteed to be awesome and definitely worth sharing. We invite you to post your drawings on twitter and tag us @GeriPalBlog! Happy listening and drawing, Lingsheng @lingshengli  Additional info:  For weekly lessons on drawing and the art of paying attention from Wendy, you can subscribe to her Substack DrawTogether with WendyMac and join the Grown-Ups Table (GUT)!  To learn more about Frank's teaching and philosophy on end-of-life care, read his book The Five Invitations

El libro del que hablaremos el día de hoy fue escrito por Isaac Fitzgerald y Wendy MacNaughton y se trata tanto de una galería de arte sobre piel humana, como de una colección de historias de todo tipo, pero sobre todo de tatuajes, de las historias detrás de una amplia colección de tatuajes. La razón de por que alguien se hace un tatuaje son muchas y muy variadas, pero siempre son razones muy personales e intimas y el día de hoy les contaré algunas de las historias de personas que decidieron compartir sus tatuajes con los autores de este libro pero sobre todo con nosotros. Y si ahí por ahí quien crea que los tatuajes son vulgares o que solo los maleantes y criminales se tatúan quizá estas historias les hagan reconsiderar esa idea. Nos encantan los libros y compartimos nuestro gusto por la lectura. Hablamos de cómics y libros, también publicamos noticias del mundo literario y lo que se nos ocurra sobre lo que amamos, los libros.

As artist-in-residence at the Zen Hospice Project Guest House in San Francisco, Wendy MacNaughton witnessed firsthand how difficult it is to know what to do when we're sharing final moments with a loved one. In this tenderly illustrated guide to saying goodbye, MacNaughton shows how to make sure those moments are meaningful. Using a framework of “the five things” taught to her by a professional caregiver, How to Say Goodbye provides a model for having conversations of love, respect, and closure: with the words “I forgive you,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” “I love you,” and “Goodbye,” each oriented toward finding mutual peace and understanding when it matters most. In her book, and in our conversation in this episode, Wendy offers us a beautiful, poetic, masterful meditation on the art of presence as love.If you liked this episode, you might also like my conversation with our mutual connection palliative Dr. BJ Miller.

Since the start of the pandemic, more than 90 colleges have merged or closed permanently. One of these schools, Lincoln College, closed its doors with only about one month's notice in May of 2022 — after 157 years. Due to the pandemic and a ransomware attack, administrators say the school was unable to retain, recruit, or fundraise. Since then, students have been left scrambling and many have dropped out. Alan Jinich and Max Strickberger, recent graduates of the University of Pennsylvania and producers of the Generation Pandemic Project about the impact of Covid on young people around the country, set out to follow this story last year. Lincoln College was a small private college in central Illinois — the only school named after Abraham Lincoln in his lifetime. But instead of attracting local students, the school drew many from three hours north: Chicago's south and west sides. More than 40% were first generation college students and, even though the town is 95% white, the university was a Predominantly Black Institution. Students, alumni, and faculty described the community as deeply closeknit and, for many, a “second chance.” For some, it was also a refuge from gun violence. After the sudden closure announcement, dozens of students confronted President David Gerlach expressing grief, frustration, and concern over what might happen to those who didn't have a safe home to return to. It was the start of a fundraising predicament that drove a wedge between students' grassroots efforts and administrators. How much money is enough to stay open? What's at stake for Lincoln's brittle economy? We follow voices from across the community — professors, administrators, locals, students dispersed across the Midwest, and a member of Lincoln's last graduating class. More than a year after closing, many continue to reel. The campus is still up for sale, but a new vision for Lincoln may soon be on the horizon. Produced by Alan Jinich and Max Strickberger with soundtracks by Reed Rosenbluth and support from the Sachs Program for Arts Innovation. A special thank you to Pati and Danny Jinich for their endless support (and SUV), Deborah and Adam Strickberger for their lifelong role modeling, and for all those who helped along the way: Ron Keller, Tim Rivera, Ms. Linda, Aundrae Williams, Jaylah Bolden, Spencer Davis, David Gerlach, Scott Raper, Seth Goodman, Aaron Butler, David Upchurch, Julia Figueroa, Klaudia Blaszcyk, Dougie Barron, and the Rose family.

This week, we talk to the authors of two new books – one about our relationship to work, and another one about hospice and art. In the first half of this program, we talk to Simone Stolzoff. He's the author of a new book, “The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming life from Work”. It takes a critical look at the way work has become so central to our identities - oftentimes at the expense of family, community and health. For artist Wendy MacNaughton, drawing is a vehicle for connection. Her subjects are often people and places typically over-looked. That's certainly the case with her new book, “How to Say Goodbye.” It's a collection of portraits she drew during her time as artist in residence at a hospice center in San Francisco.  MacNaughton was joined in this interview by her colleague Ladybird Morgan - a nurse, social worker, and palliative care consultant. Both interviews were conducted in the studios of KQED in San Francisco on August 14, 2023, by neuroscientist, musician, and podcaster Indre Viskontas.

Join host Ned Buskirk in conversation with New York Times best-selling illustrator & graphic journalist Wendy MacNaughton, talking about her book “How to Say Goodbye: The Wisdom of Hospice Caregivers,” combining drawings from her artist's residency inside The Zen Hospice Project Guest House, with words of hospice caregivers she interviewed, including a list of The Five Things to help us say goodbye.wendy'swebsite: https://www.wendymacnaughton.com/"The Grown-Ups Table" substack: https://substack.com/@drawtogether book - How to Say Goodbye: https://www.wendymacnaughton.com/illustration/how-to-say-goodbye Produced by Nick JainaSoundscaping by Nick JainaAssociate Produced by Jasmine Pritchard”YG2D Podcast Theme Song” by Nick JainaTHIS PODCAST IS MADE POSSIBLE WITH SUPPORT FROM LISTENERS LIKE YOU.Become a podcast patron now at https://www.patreon.com/YG2D.

Wendy MacNaughton is an acclaimed visual artist whose work you've probably seen and/or love. Between illustrating the bestselling cookbook Salt Fat Acid Heat, drawing for the New York Times, and teaching “Draw Together” online art classes for kids, she somehow found the time to design the artwork for Mike's show The Old Man and the Pool, as well as co-design the cover art for The New One book. Mike talks with Wendy about the process of finding one's artistic voice, turning her car into a mobile art studio, and the relationship between writing jokes and drawing pictures.Please consider donating to Girls Garage

We're back!!! Welcome to a new series about grieving and life from The Mash-Up Americans. Grief, Collected is where we explore how grief moves through our bodies, our families, and our communities — and why we need to feel it all in order to transform our future. Launching November 15 — with new episodes every Tuesday and new meditations every Friday. Grief, like joy, is one of our human conditions. Yet it is the one we, as Americans, are the least willing to confront, even as it becomes more and more essential to do so. We prize pushing forward, but maybe it's time to pause. As we emerge from the catastrophic losses of the pandemic — and wrestle with the regular traumas of modern life — how do we heal ourselves to plant seeds for our future? What wisdom can we call upon to create hope for a more introspective, joyful, and honest culture? We're talking to leading psychologists, researchers, musicians, and authors, including George Bonnano, Natalia Skritskaya, Daniela Gesundheit, Alexander Chee, Linda Thai, Dorothy Hollinger, Wendy Macnaughton, Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, and adrienne maree brown. bit.ly/meet-grief-collectedSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Have you ever had that sense of: ‘I've got to go back!'? If you ever hear ‘Turn around' inside, do it! That's the universe telling you: You missed something good back there.”  Acclaimed illustrator Wendy MacNaughton heeded that call when she passed a boot making workshop on a road trip. In sharing the unforgettable friendship that transpired, she invites us to pause and truly see each other. 

El libro del que hablaremos el día de hoy fue escrito por Isaac Fitzgerald y Wendy MacNaughton y se trata tanto de una galería de arte sobre piel humana, como de una colección de historias de todo tipo, pero sobre todo de tatuajes, de las historias detrás de una amplia colección de tatuajes. La razón de por que alguien se hace un tatuaje son muchas y muy variadas, pero siempre son razones muy personales e intimas y el día de hoy les contaré algunas de las historias de personas que decidieron compartir sus tatuajes con los autores de este libro pero sobre todo con nosotros. Y si ahí por ahí quien crea que los tatuajes son vulgares o que solo los maleantes y criminales se tatúan quizá estas historias les hagan reconsiderar esa idea. Nos encantan los libros y compartimos nuestro gusto por la lectura. Hablamos de cómics y libros, también publicamos noticias del mundo literario y lo que se nos ocurra sobre lo que amamos, los libros.

“If you slow down, I promise, pay attention and really look, you will fall back in love with the world and everyone in it.”When beloved illustrator Wendy MacNaughton was growing up, her grandmother showed her around museums and the city. The trips weren't solely to expose her to art. Bernice had a deeper intention for her granddaughter: to teach her to pay attention. Decades later, looking, listening, and loving are pillars of Wendy's life philosophy. As a graphic journalist — admired for her culture-shifting work in The New York Times, bestselling books, and children's show, DrawTogether — Wendy's journey offers her a unique vantage point into our shared human experience. She's learned that “everybody is so much more than we think they are” and shares how honoring each other's stories nourishes the connection that is integral to our humanity. We explore how Wendy developed her artistic lens by imbuing it with her social work background and distinguishing between what was deemed “good art” in art school and the art that she loves to create. Despite being fundamental to her life, Wendy took a 10-year hiatus from drawing. In sharing her homecoming, she beautifully illuminates what it looks like to live from, and continually return to, the truest part of ourselves.

Wendy MacNaughton: The art of paying attention...with TRE's Hannah Murray

Improve your communication skills both In Real Live and on Social. | Tim and Julie Harris help you to create your plan, using key skills...* TED Talks is full of great talks on communication. Some of our favorites: “The Art of Paying Attention” by Wendy MacNaughton “10 Ways to have a better conversation” by Celeste Headlee * Consider joining ToastMasters so you can improve your speaking skills live. * Join multiple networking groups to hone your skills and expand your Social Media reach to those groups.  Support fellow members. Conclusion:  * Communication is your #1 skill online and off.  Remember it's impossible to ‘over communicate'.   * The WAY you communicate matters.  How frequently and authentically you speak in person and online does matter. * Hierarchy of communication still is the following: * In Person (now augmented by Zoom, thanks to Covid) * By phone * Text…followed by phone call * Social Media Don't convince yourself that social media is a lead generation spoke.  It's for supporting your pro-active lead generation, nurturing your relationships and expanding your reach. Part 2:  YOUR WRITINGA) How well you write effects all forms of social media.  “The best social media managers are excellent copywriters and sparkling digital conversationalists who not only embody, but enhance their brand's presence. From attention-grabbing ad copy to witty social banter, you should know how to write concise copy that elicits emotion from your audience.” -Sprout Social This is where agents and brokers start to consider hiring a social media manager because this IS something that requires work, skill and polishing to be good at it. It's not a requirement, however.  There are some easy ways to improve your own writing, but like all worthwhile things, it takes work and consistent practice. * grammarly.com is a good ‘writing assistant' to help you clean up your basic skills. * https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-girl Grammar Girl shows you what's correct and why so you can stop making the same mistakes. * writerscollegeblog.com * MasterClass.com search the writing section.  Famous and celebrated authors teach their craft. * Read more! Read a variety of writing; not just headlines and real estate articles, but other forms to improve your sentence structure, flow, spelling and punctuation.  Ultimately, the sites we mentioned will clean up your writing, but they don't fix issues like content and flow.   * Even after working on your writing, there's still an art to the social media post.  Here are some specifics from Social Media Today: Making your content and posts easy to read by writing at about an 8th grade reading level Using headings, bullets and lists where possible to make your content or posts easier to scan Keeping paragraphs to only two or three sentences Being as succinct as possible when writing on your topic Telling a story using pictures and video whenever possible Schedule A Free Coaching Call Listen on iTunes Listen on Spotify Listen on Stitcher Learn more about your ad choices.

When schools closed about a year ago, graphic journalist Wendy MacNaughton started an online show for kids called DrawTogether. MacNaughton knows art is an important way to process feelings and emotions, and she wanted to help parents get kids to do art using screens to get kids off screens and draw. Alex Madrigal talks with MacNaughton about how art can help kids of all ages, and we want to hear from you. What are some of the things you’ve done to encourage your kids to be creative during the pandemic?

Four hours, 10.4 miles. I had to stop at a bakery in the middle.  This election night special coverage special is, as always, just a recording of me walking. I hope you'll come along as a way to relax or be distracted. As special coverage theme music, I used "Fanfare for the Frontier" from Mike Verta's Hollywood Masterclass. This walk is dedicated to Wendy Macnaughton, who will be hosting an election night drawing party / birthday party for herself on Instagram live at 5pm pacific/8pm eastern. Why not draw with her if you need a calm, restorative place to be online?

Usually on Labor Day, Americans are gathering around the barbecue, celebrating one last gasp of summer before settling into the routine of school or work. Routines are not what they once were during this pandemic. Nevertheless Good Food hopes this weekend is used to take a break from all the laboring — both physical and emotional. As an escape, Good Food offers a “zone out” show. From magical mushrooms on the forest floor to rare pasta shapes in Italy, grab the popcorn, tune in, and prepare to leave hungry. Plus, author Samin Nostrat and illustrator Wendy MacNaughton discuss their collaboration on the award-winning cookbook, “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat.”

As Los Angeles settles in for additional months of sheltering in place, Good Food cozies up on the sofa for a “zone out” show.

A couple of months ago, we went deep on what it felt like to shut down our company Of a Kind (dig into that episode here), and now, with more distance, we have plenty of fresh new takeaways to share.

In the lead up to the launch of Change Lab Season 5 on September 25, we’re releasing a series of “Encore” episodes. For this final installment, we caught up with graphic journalist Wendy MacNaughton to discuss her latest creative endeavor: A Honda Element she’s tricked out to function as a mobile studio. The car features a custom-made drafting table, art supply storage, and a double bed to catch some zzz’s on longer road trips. Wendy embarked on the project after realizing that solo time on the road has always been a reliable source of creative inspiration. Wendy called us from her idea-generating machine in San Francisco to update us on her most recent wanderings. We hope you enjoy the episode. Don’t forget to tune in for a whole new season of conversations on creativity and transformation kicking off with Lorne’s incisive interview with IBM design chief, Phil Gilbert.

You might see her leaning against a building on the street, or sitting across from you on your morning commute, pad in hand. Or, you might not have noticed her at all. Wendy talks about her 'drawn journalism' -- sketches and snippets of conversation that convey little slices of life, and connect us to bigger stories in the news. Check out the illustrations we discussed on our website: https://npg.si.edu/podcasts/on-beat

Catherine is here today with Caroline Paul. Caroline grew up in New England, with an identical twin, a younger brother, and a menagerie of animals. And she goes on by sharing with us that during her adolescent years she did some goofy things like: learned all the constellations in the Western Hemisphere; on a regular basis rode her banana-seat bicycle for miles to read Archie comics at the nearest general store in her rural town. Then built a boat out of milk cartons and convinced others to join her on the river, then waded to shore with them when it broke up in the first rapid. Caroline graduated from Stanford University, where she studied Communications. At the time she had a vague idea that perhaps she would become a documentary filmmaker. Instead, in 1989, she became a San Francisco firefighter. In 1999, she wrote about her thirteen-and-a-half-year career in Fighting Fire – she explains how being in a fire made her happy, and doing emergency medical work intrigued her which all made her who she is today. Caroline Paul is the author of many books her latest one is You Are Mighty: A Guide to Changing the World came out just as teens around the country were taking a stand against gun violence. This illustrated book aims for an even younger audience, teaching kids from 9 -to-12-years-old the tactics of civil engagement and protest. Caroline in her free time flies an experimental plane, reads books, and goes to the movies. Much of this is done around San Francisco, where she lives with her partner, the artist Wendy MacNaughton, two rescue cats, one rescue dog, an array of solar panels, and countless unread back issues of the New Yorker.

Samin Nosrat is a cook, teacher, and author. Equipped with a letter and the determination to work at Chez Panisse, the legendary French restaurant founded by Alice Waters, Samin chose the path of cooking instead of the path of poetry. 17 years later, she turned her many lessons learned into her first book ‘Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat', a beautifully illustrated book by Wendy MacNaughton that empowers us to learn how to master the fundamentals of cooking. In this episode, Samin and I cover many different topics: her Iranian heritage and growing up in San Diego, the story about how she got to start working at Chez Panisse, the ups and downs of being a newby in a popular kitchen, the different cultures of kitchens, depression and therapy, and what makes a good teacher and a good student.

Samin Nosrat is a food writer, educator, and chef. Her new book is Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking. “I kind of couldn’t exist as just a cook or a writer. I kind of need to be both. Because they fulfill these two totally different parts of myself and my brain. Cooking is really social, it’s very physical, and also you don’t have any time to become attached to your product. You hand it off and somebody eats it, and literally tomorrow it’s shit. … Whereas with writing, it’s the exact opposite. It’s super solitary. It’s super cerebral. And you have all the time in the world to get attached to your thing and freak out about it.” Thanks to MailChimp, Squarespace, Away, and Masters of Scale for sponsoring this week's episode. @CiaoSamin ciaosamin.com [01:45] Chez Panisse [02:00] Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking (Simon & Schuster • 2017) [03:30] Pop-Up Magazine [27:45] Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation (Michael Pollan • Penguin Books • 2014) [30:00] Nosrat’s Archive at Edible [30:45] "Out of the Kitchen, Onto the Couch" (Michael Pollan • New York Times Magazine • Jul 2009) [34:00] Wendy MacNaughton on the Longform Podcast [37:45] An Everlasting Meal: Cooking with Economy and Grace (Tamar Adler • Scribner • 2012) [39:15] Levels of the Game (John McPhee • Farrar, Straus and Giroux • 1979) [52:15] Outliers: The Story of Success (Malcolm Gladwell • Back Bay Books • 2011) [54:30] Golden Boy Pizza [55:30] "Cookbook Author Samin Nosrat Celebrates with Champagne and Babybels" (Sierra Tishgart • Grub Street • Apr 2017) [57:00] Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us (Michael Moss • Random House • 2014)

Why do so many chefs get tattoos? That’s just one question we asked this week’s guests, journalist Isaac Fitzgerald and illustrator Wendy MacNaughton, the duo behind the new book Knives and Ink: Chefs and the Stories Behind Their Tattoos. Also on this week’s episode, we talk with food writer Kat Kinsman about the epidemic rates of anxiety and depression among chefs—and why mental health is still a taboo subject in kitchens.

Wendy MacNaughton is a graphic journalist and the co-author of Pen & Ink: Tattoos and the Stories Behind Them. "We mostly hear stories from big personalities who already have a spotlight on them. I think that everybody carries stories that are just as profound as the ones we hear from celebrities or whoever. I’m interested in the stories of people who don’t usually get to tell them. I think those are sometimes the most interesting." Thanks to TinyLetter for sponsoring this week's episode.

Meet San Francisco artist Wendy Macnaughton, who discusses her approach to making art, and her "drawn journalism" projects. Wendy MacNaughton is an illustrator from San Francisco who works on a variety of projects, including her "drawn journalism" publications, which she creates by spending a few weeks interacting with different communities. She draws people, interviews them, and listens to their stories, then compiles the information into a book. One of her recent books is about the people of San Francisco Public Library's main branch. Some of Wendy's illustration projects are about San Francisco specifically, including a specialized map of the city, and humorous drawings about the types of people who live here. She's also published her work in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, and her latest illustration project is a book called Lost Cat.
