Hey everybody, it's Lanf…we mean Selene! Chatting up Mat while he's sick, channeling at him when he's skeptical. Just an all around quality gal. Egwene is pulled into Verin's chambers (which we would gladly live in!) and leaves with trouble and hope in her hands. She's whisked away to be taken to the bowels of the Tower; it is time for her to face her fears in the test to become Accepted. It's so hard to stop after we have wrapped our four chapters, but a halt must happen here. Next week we have a romp through the Waste and talk about those wacky Aiel. We have opened our recordings to live text with our Patrons when we record. This is for all our patrons, starting at $1 a month, and we just uploaded new merch perks as well. Patreon link below

"Sometimes," my mother went on, "I think of white dresses as a way of starting over. They're sort of a way of wiping the whole slate clean. Just like what happens in the wintertime when the snow comes. It wipes away everything in preparation for a new year, a new spring." --Mary Pflum Peterson (author of White Dresses: A Memoir of Love and Secrets, Mothers and Daughters) Today I'm talking with Beaver Dam, WI native Mary Pflum! Mary began her journalism career in New York at CNN where she had the opportunity to report from Istanbul, Berlin, and Atlanta. She was the CNN Bureau Chief in Turkey, and then she moved on to ABC News/Good Morning America. She is currently a reporter and producer for NBC News. During her carried and exciting career, she's won 5 Emmies, 2 Edward R Murrows, a Peabody, a DuPont, and a WGA Award. She's covered presidential elections, the Oscars, Hurricane Katrina, the London bombings, royal weddings, the death of Pople John Paul II, and the political rise of Barak Obama. Today, we talk about her amazing book White Dresses: A Memoir of Love and Secrets, Mothers and Daughters. It looks into Mary's complicated--and loving--family through the lens of the white dresses that the women in her family have worn on special occasions.

Francie Meeker and her best friend, Vi Carothers, bought into the promise offered to middle-class, especially white, women in the mid-twentieth-century United States: find a man with a good career, marry young, stay at home, raise the children, keep house, and all will be well. By 1952, despite some successes, reality has killed this dream. So at the beginning of Lies in White Dresses (William Morrow, 2019)—the sparkling new novel by Sofia Grant, who is also the author of The Dress in the Window and The Daisy Children—Francie and Vi are boarding a train to Reno, Nevada. There, after six weeks residency, they can file for divorce. On the train they meet a young woman, June Samples, traveling with a small child. Unlike Francie and Vi, June has almost no means of support. Vi takes a liking to the younger woman and, when they reach Reno, she invites June to share her hotel suite. The first night, a babysitting job brings the threesome to the attention of Virgie, the hotel keeper’s daughter and a self-styled detective. Then, not long after their arrival, the local police report that Vi has drowned. Virgie is convinced she knows what happened. But who will believe a twelve-year-old girl? Compared to medieval Europe or Han Dynasty China, the 1940s and 1950s do not seem so long ago. But as Sofia Grant makes clear in this page-turning novel, in many respects the previous century was indeed a different world. C. P. Lesley is the author of nine novels, including Legends of the Five Directions (The Golden Lynx, The Winged Horse, The Swan Princess, The Vermilion Bird, and The Shattered Drum), a historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible, and Song of the Siren, published in 2019.

Mary Pflum Peterson joins us to talk about her book: White Dresses: A Memoir of Love and Secrets, Mothers and Daughters. She is an advocate for mental illness awareness which she lovingly details in her book and on our show. Join us for a powerful discussion about some areas in mental health, such as hoarding, that are still heavily stigmatized and misunderstood. Mary Pflum Peterson is a multi-Emmy-Award-winning television journalist ... a New York Times bestselling author ... and an acclaimed public speaker.She began her career in journalism at the CNN-New York Bureau at age 20, while still an undergraduate at Columbia University. By age 21, she was conducting her first big interviews with political leaders the likes of Rudy Giuliani and Newt Gingrich. By age 23, she was reporting on-camera around the nation for CNN and filling in as an anchor on CNN Newsroom.Mary went on report internationally, covering everything from Vienna balls to Maltese temples - but calls the time she spent living and working for CNN in Turkey from 1999 to 2002 as the most formative period of her journalism career. In October 2002, Mary returned to the U.S. to work for ABC News/ Good Morning America. Her time at GMA enabled her to cover presidential elections, Oscar races, Hurricane Katrina, the London bombings, royal weddings, the death of Pope John Paul II, and the ascendance of Barack Obama to national political power. It also enabled her to win a spate of awards, including five Emmys, two Edward R Murrows, a Peabody, a duPont, and a WGA Award.In 2016, Mary joined the Today Show, the morning program she grew up watching in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin- and the show she credits for making her want to become a TV journalist.In addition to being a decorated journalist, Mary is also a critically-acclaimed author. In September 2015, her first book, White Dresses: A Memoir of Love and Secrets, Mothers and Daughters, was published by HarperCollins. The book tells the story of Mary's decidedly complicated, yet fiercely loving family, through the white dresses that the women in the family wore on significant days in their lives. The book was critically acclaimed was a New York Times Best Seller.Mary frequently speaks to book and church groups, as well as to public libraries and book store audiences, about White Dresses - and about issues explored within the book, including hoarding, mental illness, nun abuse, and homosexuality. Her talks have been called "candid", "enlightening", "uplifting" and "eye-opening." Mary's mother was a compulsive hoarder - beginning when Pflum Peterson was a child. But no hoarding - no mental illness - hindered Mary's mom's ability to love. And it's that unconditional love that, Mary says, is the thread from which all good things in her life have sprung.www.marypflumpeterson.com

Jerry Brown is the co-author of The Psychedelic Gospels: The Secret History of Hallucinogens in Christianity. Jerry, as well as his wife and co-author Julie Brown, began their journey into the psychedelic history of early Christianity after noticing telling depictions of psychedelic mushrooms on display in the frescoes and architecture of the many chapels and cathedrals that exist across Europe. Jerry tells the story of how he and his wife Julie first made this baffling discovery, and also explains as to why it has not been documented and researched until very recently. We examine the possible role psychedelics would have played in the early centuries of Christianity, and more broadly, the origins of religion itself, as well as how our own personal experiences have led us toward having an open minded exploration of this subject. What does it mean for there to be these depictions of psychedelic mushroom in early Christian art? How does this subject and research fit into the broader "Psychedelic Renaissance" that is currently underway in multiple scientific disciplines? Jerry and I discuss this and much more in this episode.

Now with her intriguing new novel of parenthood and sibling rivalry, she focuses on the only thing messier than friendship: family. Her work has been praised by Vanity Fair, Redbook and The New York Times. Kathryn also interviews inspiration speaker, writer, and surgeon Dr. Emile Allen on his book “Eaten by the Tiger: Surrendering to an Empowered Life”. In 1998 Dr. Emile Allen barely escaped electrocution while saving a patient's life.

Dr. Allen journals lessons learned from recovery from extreme physical as well as emotional and psychological losses.

Now with her intriguing new novel of parenthood and sibling rivalry, she focuses on the only thing messier than friendship: family. Her work has been praised by Vanity Fair, Redbook and The New York Times. Kathryn also interviews inspiration speaker, writer, and surgeon Dr. Emile Allen on his book “Eaten by the Tiger: Surrendering to an Empowered Life”. In 1998 Dr. Emile Allen barely escaped electrocution while saving a patient's life. In a split second Dr. Allen went from performing intricate surgical procedures to struggling to do simple tasks like reading a book or counting change. Dr. Allen journals lessons learned from recovery from extreme physical as well as emotional and psychological losses.
