In 2018, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Quiara Alegria Hudes decided to take a break from the theater world. Tired of a white, male-dominated landscape, Quiara turned inward, leaning on her memories and stories of the women in her family. The result was Quiara's first memoir: “My Broken Language.” In 2022, Quiara returned to the stage with the play adaptation of her memoir. On this episode of Latino USA, we talk to Quiara about her memoir, her play, and how grief and joy intertwine in the stories she is bringing to the stage.

Teach your child to WRITE before they learn to READ. Here's how. Everyone wants to teach their child to read. Literacy is a crucial life skill! But how? ...in 100 easy lessons? ...with baby flashcards? ...apps or an online subscription? Don't buy the hype. Maria Montessori discovered a learning-to-read strategy that works for just about every child in just about every language, and it involves a simple, easily DIY-able material: the moveable alphabet. But first, you need to understand that before we can teach reading, we must first teach WRITING. On YouTube Live today, David and I will discuss how to use a movable alphabet (one of our 21 Essential Materials) and how to easily incorporate one into your daily life. Everyone is welcome! The Moveable Alphabet is just one of the 21 essential Montessori materials we love.

Can Medicine Move To Animal-Free Testing? Before a new drug can begin clinical trials in humans, it gets tested on animals. But things are changing. Late last year, Congress passed the FDA Modernization Act 2.0, which cleared the way for new drugs to skip animal testing. Can we expect to phase out animal testing altogether? Is it safe? And what technologies might make that possible? Guest host Flora Lichtman talks with Dr. Thomas Hartung, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing, to get a broader picture of alternatives to animal testing.   Capturing Carbon With Tasty Fungus This week, a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change brought dire warnings about our planet's climate future and an alert that drastic action is needed—now—to avoid catastrophe. One action the report recommends involves an overhaul of our food production systems to decrease their carbon impact.   Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers suggest one possible way of sequestering some carbon dioxide might be cultivating certain kinds of edible mushrooms on land that has already been cultivated for agroforestry. The researchers are working with Lactarius deliciosus, commonly known as the saffron milk cap or red pine mushroom, but other species are possible as well. These mycorrhizal fungi live in a symbiotic relationship with the roots of the trees, increasing biomass and storing more carbon, while producing food on land that might have otherwise been used only for trees. In certain climates and with certain trees, these fungi can actually be a carbon-negative source of protein. However, to produce a pound of protein currently requires a lot of land and effort. The researchers are working to make forest fungal farming easier, and to expand the approach to a wider range of trees. SciFri's Charles Bergquist talks with Dr. Paul Thomas, author of that report and research director at the company Mycorrhizal Systems, a company that helps farmers grow truffles. He's also an honorary professor in the University of Stirling's Faculty of Natural Sciences in the UK.   Whiskey Distillery On The Rocks After Fungus Spreads Lincoln County, Tennessee has been overcome by an unwelcome guest: whiskey fungus. It covers everything from houses and cars to stop signs and trees, and no amount of power washing seems to make it go away. Why has whiskey fungus attached to this small town? It feeds on ethanol from the famed Jack Daniel's distillery, which is in a neighboring county. Lincoln County isn't the first place to encounter this problem. Whiskey fungus was first documented in 1872 by a French pharmacist named Antonin Baudoin. Baudoin noted how mold caused distillery walls in Cognac to blacken, a phenomenon that has since been seen near distilleries across the world. The fungus was not given a name until 2007, when it was dubbed Baudoinia compniacensis, named for Antonin Baudoin. Joining guest host Flora Lichtman is James A. Scott, PhD, professor of public health at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Ontario. Scott has studied whiskey fungus for over two decades, and gave it its scientific name.   NASA's New Science Head Sees A Bright Future Last month, NASA announced Dr. Nicola Fox as the agency's new scientific leader. Fox is taking on a critical role at NASA, shaping the agency's science priorities and overseeing roughly 100 missions, with a budget of $7.8 billion. The portfolio includes space science from astrophysics and Earth science, covering the planets in our solar system to exoplanets far beyond. Previously, she was the director of the heliophysics division at NASA, which studies the Sun and its role in the solar system. SciFri senior producer Charles Bergquist talks with Dr. Nicola Fox, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate for NASA, about her new position, career path, and plans for science at NASA.

We all want our kids to have good character, but we don't always consider how crucial character is to our kids' future success.  In today's interview, former multi-billion-dollar investment manager, Dennis Trittin, helps us connect the dots and find even more motivation for raising kids of character.  After over 30 years managing investments and studying successful leaders all over the world, Dennis shifted his focus to sharing what he had learned with the next generation.  Writing books and speaking to students, parents, and educators, Dennis is passionate about inspiring the next generation to embrace the kind of character that will help them get jobs, (and not get fired from them!) nurture healthy relationships, and live happy, fulfilling lives. Today we draw from his chapter on Character from his book, What I Wish I Knew at 18: Life Lessons for the Road Ahead.

Sharing common IEP goals between special education teachers and related service providers can be highly beneficial for the success of your students. By collaborating on goals, both parties can ensure that the student is receiving comprehensive support across different settings and addressing their individual needs. This approach can also streamline the goal-setting process and make it easier for both parties to collect and analyze data on student progress. Ultimately, shared IEP goals can lead to better outcomes for students with disabilities and improve their overall academic and functional performance.Today, Rachelle Sikes joins me to discuss the importance of shared IEP goals with related services and HOW to actually pull it off.Listen in as we discuss:How shared goals benefits the student by working on different aspects of the same skill, tag-teaming to work on the same goal, and double the dataWhat's involved with choosing a skill that aligns with both of you and writing objectives for related services and academic/functional.The perks of having more (and different) data to show progress on the goal and how data can be reported by each providerWhat to remember when skepticism sneaks in Examples of shared goals include writing numbers from memory, identifying coping skills in therapy sessions, and answering reading comprehension questions using academic language.You can follow Rachelle by clicking the links below and check out her TPT store for more resources.

A graphic novel about finding purpose and value. My interview with Drunk3PO (Jay)! Jay (Drunk3PO on Twitter) works as a teacher. He was seeing more and more kids who need to find purpose in their lives and value themselves. He decided to write a graphic novel for them. On today's show, he talks about his first graphic novel Achromatic Chronicles: Blue, the inspiration behind it, and why he decided to become a writer on top of being a YouTuber.

US Navy veteran Dennis Medbury began writing as a device to help him sleep. After 14 years of service he had developed PTSD which led to insomnia. Rather than take medication he would start thinking up a story to help him sleep, changing characters and plots when he didn't like how they were going. Medbury describes it as The Secrets of the Runestones series is a product of me taking a debilitating condition and turning it into something positive. The characters are all dear to my heart. Writing fantasy involves a great deal of thought and research. Trade routes, monetary systems, government and religions are just some of the things you need to think about before you get to the fun stuff like swords and magic. I believe I put in the effort, and created a story that anyone can enjoy. We are happy to welcome him to the genie bottle!  

New inventions and technology can make life—and Irish music—more convenient, more accessible, and sweeter…. and more complicated. This episode examines a few inventions like the washing machine, the personal computer, and to the electric bicycle and features Irish tunes that mention tech and innovations. (Because whether or not you're actually thinking about short and long clicking sounds, if you call a tune The Telegraph, it's still a reference to what was once a remarkable new way to transmit messages.) _________________ For playlists, transcripts, links to videos, companion essays, and to contribute to this project, please head to IrishMusicStories.org. ___________________ Thank you to everybody for listening.

Sunny Sweeney stopped by Bobby's house to talk about her journey as a singer songwriter coming from Texas and trying to make it in Nashville. She talks about getting discovered on Myspace and signing her first record deal, to only be dropped from it, to three months later being nominated for an ACM Award. Sunny also discusses how she thought about quitting music until she kept receiving signs to keep going, like her most recent one of being featured in the Country Music Hall Of Fame. She also talks about the ups and downs of her personal life and the advice she'd give to people who want to pursue a music career. Sunny recently released a cover of Emmylou Harris song "Red Dirt Girl," and she talks about the seven-year process of recording that song and writing a letter to Emmylou asking if she'd sing harmonies on it! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode, Lindsay Garbutt speaks with Nam Le, whose debut book, the short story collection The Boat, was translated into fourteen languages and received over a dozen major awards. We hear poems from his much anticipated first poetry collection, 36 Ways of Writing a Vietnamese Poem, out from Knopf this year. The book is incredibly polyvocal, unpredictable, and intimate, yet also politically scathing. Garbutt and Le get into the inherent violence of language and how slippage and ambiguity might be the only way toward truth.

Stephen Marche is the author of six books, has been a columnist at Esquire, has taught Shakespeare at the college level and has contributed to The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New York Times, and many other publications. By any reasonable measure, his career is an unmitigated success. But seen through a different lens (for instance his own) it can also look a lot like failure. That's true of just about every writer who ever lived and Stephen grapples with this dichotomy in new book, On Writing And Failure, which is both a literary history and a reverse pep talk for aspiring artists. In this conversation, Stephen talks about how writers from James Baldwin to James Joyce to Li Bai (and many, many others) built legacies on the sands of constant rejection. He also shares stories of his own failures and offers some thoughts about how the contours of failure and rejection have changed in the new independent creator economy. For paying Substack subscribers, Stephen stays overtime to talk about failure outside of the literary arena, including the perils of marriage and childrearing. Meghan shares her story about getting rejected from a dream job because of a typo in her resumé and Stephen remembers what it was like when his first book, a novel, received a positive New York Times review from none other than . . . Meghan!   Guest Bio: Stephen Marche is a novelist and essayist. He is the author of half a dozen books, including The Next Civil War, The Unmade Bed: The Messy Truth About Men and Women in the Twenty-First Century (2016) and The Hunger of the Wolf (2015). He has written opinion pieces and essays for The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Esquire, The Walrus and many others. He is the host of the hit audio series How Not to F*ck Up Your Kids Too Bad, and its sequel How Not to F*ck Up Your Marriage Too Bad on Audible. His latest book is On Writing and Failure: Or, On the Peculiar Perseverance Required to Endure the Life of a Writer (Field Notes).
