Podcasts about Yesteryear

In Episode 227, Sarah talks with book industry analyst Brenna Connor about the behind-the-scenes world of book sales, bestseller lists, and publishing trends. Brenna shares insight into how sales data is gathered and used across the publishing industry, from tracking pre-orders and audiobooks to measuring the impact of celebrity book clubs and award recognition. They also discuss what makes a book commercially "successful," what current reading trends are revealing about 2026 so far, and what Brenna is watching for in the second half of the year. Plus, Brenna shares her own book recommendations. This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). CLICK HERE for the full episode Show Notes on the blog. Highlights Why tracking book sales is far more complicated than most readers realize — including what Circana can and can't actually measure. A behind-the-scenes look at bestseller lists and the role Circana data plays in lists like the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly. The famously secretive methodology behind the New York Times Bestseller List. The impact celebrity book clubs and reading lists from Reese, Oprah, and Obama have on book sales. What current sales data is revealing about 2026 reading trends — and how the economy may be shaping book buying habits. Brenna shares the books she recommends — and the trends she's watching for the rest of the year.

This week's Second Helpings Jackie's back in the VILLA and errrrrrybodies sayin' the UK is better than the US, but all the pop culture stuff is only gonna be talkin' 'bout the US one and Jackie just can't watch that much "Love Island"! Target has traded in their fake allyship for 1776 BUUUUULLSHIT. Jackie got approached to be a Temu Influencer, and there's a cop in the villa who's got a PA Mayor lettin' everyone know he left his cop job to do THAT. MJ and Gideon started watchin' "Spider Noir" and really like it, but Jackie kinda feels like it coulda been a movie. And "Widow's Bay" is still fucking amazing. MJ fell into a Skrilla hole they need to get themselves outta for the summa, so Jackie's writtin' them a 'script for some "TASKMASTER"! "Queer Eye" discourse is kinda bore-o snore-o. MJ finished the book “Yesteryear” and it's got them wonderin' what's the difference between Ballerina Farm and Pioneer Woman? Jackie's got a suggestion for everyone to check out "Stamptown" on YouTube, and before we got we're checkin' back in on that Boy Mom Discourse HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLE and Valerie Bertanelli has entered the chat, PLUS SO MUCH MOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!

Dondré Whitfield is an actor best known for his roles in Guiding Light, Queen Sugar, and The Game, and the author of Male vs. Man (a book about what it actually means to be a man in the context of family, fatherhood, and love). In this conversation, he traces the origin of his infidelity not to a moment of weakness but to a moment of watching his father lust after other women in plain sight (that was the day, he says, the cheater in him was born — not because he wanted to be that man, but because he didn't yet know he had a choice). What follows is one of the most specific and honest conversations we've had on this show about what it looks like when a man finally decides to understand himself and then builds an entire framework so his children don't have to start from zero. His concept, "we date as a family" (where the whole family meets not just the person a child is dating but their father too, so everyone can help scaffold the relationship toward something healthy), is practical, radical, and worth hearing in full.

When asked how you're doing, do you thoughtlessly respond, “I'm good!”? Are you being truthful? Are you really okay? Sometimes we fail to see the ways that we're struggling, even though the body is constantly communicating with us. Feelings of anxiety, depression, fear, and anger manifest in all sorts of creative ways through our physical selves. If we really want to live healthy and abundant lives, we must heed the body's signals. As we listen to the singsong of the birds, consider what your body might be trying to tell you in this season of life.  What am I reading?Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burkehttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780593804216The Cortisol Reset Plan: The Complete Guide to Balancing Your Hormones, Reversing Weight Gain, and Restoring Nervous System Health by Marina Wrighthttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780063436275https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Dani California by Red Hot Chili Peppers What's for dinner?Thai Edamame Cabbage SaladIngredients:1 cup quinoa well rinsed and drainedMarinated tofu, diced 1 1/2 cups water1/2 teaspoon salt1 carrot peeled and shredded1 cucumber chopped1 cup frozen edamame thawed6 green onions chopped2 cups shredded red cabbage1 tablespoon soy sauce1/4 cup lime juice2 tablespoons sugar1 tablespoon vegetable oil1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger1 tablespoon sesame oilpinch of red pepper flakes1/2 cup peanuts chopped1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro2 tablespoons chopped basilInstructions:Add quinoa, water, and salt to the pressure cooking pot.

She burned her Bible in the backyard. But that came years after leaving a marriage she was pressured into at 19, going homeless, losing her faith, and waking up from a coma. Jennie Gage has lived several lifetimes inside one — and she's using all of it to fight back. What you'll get from this conversation: How Mormon indoctrination works and why it's different from "just going to church on Sundays" What "a man is not a plan" really means and how Jennie learned it the hard way The tradwife pipeline that cracked 44 years of belief wide open Why the lesbians were always the canary in the coal mine What "shield maidens" are in white supremacist movements and where Erica Kirk fits in Why Turning Point USA is essentially running a Mormon missionary program on college campuses How cults use fear and inspiration to change behavior — and why it always wears off What identity collapse actually feels like when you leave a high-demand religion Where Jennie finds spirituality, hope, and her own voice as an atheist Why she calls herself an activist, not a content creator Jennie's Resources and Links: Jennie Gage on YouTube: Life Take Two: https://www.youtube.com/@lifetaketwo7662 Jennie on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/lifetaketwo Jennie's Substack: Mormon Wife's Secret Life: https://lifetaketwo.substack.com/p/a-mormon-wifes-secret-life Jennie on IG: https://www.instagram.com/lifetaketwojennie/ Allison's Resource: Book a free clarity call with Allison: allisonhare.com/freecall Trigger warnings: This episode covers suicide, sexual assault, domestic abuse, child marriage, and religious coercion.

In this PWTorch Dailycast series titled "Worse or Better," Josh White and Stephanie Chase discuss one aspect of today's pro wrestling scene and compare it to a previous era or eras and decide if today is... worse or better. Stephanie and Josh read some listener emails before determining which of the two current main WWE titles is most relevant. They discussed what makes a world championship prestigious and whether having multiple versions waters down their value before considering some unworthy champions and others who may have been a world champion if there had been a second one in their day. The conversation wound around to the lineage of AEW's young title and some of the missteps along the way as they decided if the prestige of men's world titles is currently worse or better than previous eras.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pwtorch-dailycast--3276210/support.

This controversial page turner is SO engaging. Find out why I think that's the case (from a literary perspective) while also allowing me to provide some forensic-style info as to the book's original shape (IT WAS MAYBE SEMI-UTOPIC!), what is actually going on in the assault scene (it's complicated) and what we might make of the ending. This lecture was SO fun (and weirdly short). Listen in now!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're talking about the lost art of the "doorbell friend" (we just learned we have these and it makes us feel like we're in a sitcom LOL). Which spirals into a whole convo about how in-person social interaction has plummeted and what can be done to bring back the 90s childhood mindset. Then we get into Memorial Day block party planning (watermelon seed spitting contest, three-legged race, & getting Kennedy Urich's boyfriend Bobby to do a concert?!), and the fact that we have OFFICIALLY broken ground on the pool (after a whole pipe-moving saga that was NOT in the budget lol). In other neighborhood news, Alex is officially starting a book club!!! We get into the best books Alex has read lately (Mean Moms, Strangers, and the book book club is starting with: Yesteryear). Plus, fan-casting the Stranger TV adaptation (Nicole Kidman + Ryan Phillippe?!). Then we get into Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey ending up on the SAME flight to Hawaii (what are the chances?!), date night midweek vs. Saturday night (spoiler alert: Thursday wins), and the great event eating debate (should you eat before attending an event with dinner?!) Then it's Rocky's 1 month update (he's a GRAZER, his wake windows are lengthening, and Alex got cleared to work out!), and BICKER OF THE WEEK on whether you should be an out-and-backer or a looper on your neighborhood walks (Alex has her reasons!!!). Plus, TWEET OF THE WEEK on the fact that 9 out of 10 women physicians are eldest daughters (Dr. Tate?!), and TWO THINGS WE DMED EACH OTHER: that viral video of the granddaughter teaching her 102 + 89 year old grandparents how to use DoorDash (heartwarming!!!) and the guy outsourcing his night nurse to the Philippines (seems completely unnecessary??). And finally, our favorite baby products from the first month (RIP the wipe warmer for Rocky, the SNOO and Doona stay undefeated)! LOVE YOU GUYS!

Als die 13-jährige Mary Day 1981 verschwindet, scheint sich kaum jemand dafür zu interessieren. Keine große Suchaktion, keine verzweifelten Eltern, keine Vermisstenmeldung. Stattdessen wird Mary in ihrer Familie zu einem Tabuthema. Über sie wird nicht gesprochen.Nur ihre kleine Schwester Sherrie kann das nie akzeptieren. Jahre später beginnt sie, Fragen zu stellen. Warum hat niemand nach Mary gesucht? Warum wurden ihre Fotos verbrannt? Und warum wirken die Erinnerungen ihrer Familie wie ein sorgfältig gehütetes Geheimnis?Als Ermittler den Fall Jahrzehnte später erneut aufrollen, stoßen sie auf verstörende Aussagen, gewalttätige Familienverhältnisse und einen Garten, in dem Leichenspürhunde anschlagen. Schnell steht ein schrecklicher Verdacht im Raum: Wurde Mary ermordet? Was geschah tatsächlich in jener Nacht, nach der Mary für immer verschwand?Und was passiert, wenn die Wahrheit so unfassbar ist, dass selbst Ermittler nicht mehr wissen, woran sie glauben sollen?Inhaltswarnung: Explizite Gewalt ggü.

Wow. Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke was quite the ride and, for many women raised in conservative Christian culture (like me!), a disturbingly familiar one. Today I'm recapping the book, but even more so unpacking the themes underneath it: womanhood, motherhood, toxic masculinity, performance, privacy, religion, and influencer culture. I also tackle the question everyone seems to be asking: who exactly is this story inspired by? Hannah Neeleman? Ruby Franke? Something more general? Or something else entirely?

This week, Kat and Carol chit chat and get caught up before diving into a still stewing or survived it story from Carol's time on camera at a wrestling show. We talk about Alix Earle vs Alex Cooper update, why Kat wants to be media trained, Carol is starting to read Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, we discuss the updates to the original Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 5 and also dive into the cast of the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives OC. Carol spills the tea on the Aspyn Ovard throuple, Bobbi Althoff, and the latest Avery Woods scandals (2026 is the year of the grifter). Kat tells us her latest Summer House revelations about the Scamanda of it all, the Jen Fessler drama, the Kyle vs Carl explosive fight, and why we're watching all the older season.

The author Caro Claire Burke discusses her debut novel, Yesteryear, about a tradwife influencer suddenly transported back to 1855 and faced with the harsh realities of actual pioneer life. The book is a No. 1 New York Times best seller, and its film rights have already been sold and Anne Hathaway is attached to star.  Seen one way, the tradwife is just a social-media trend, sometimes soothing to watch, sometimes infuriating. But the fantasy that fuels the phenomenon—that women should be subservient to their husbands, staying at home and tending the hearth—reflects views in the real world, where actual policies get made. Burke talks about her novel and her own political evolution. - - - Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

Happy Wednesday EIChickadees! What a show we have for you today.To celebrate the release of her much-hyped debut novel Yesteryear, we sat down with the brilliant Caro Claire Burke to discuss everything from favourite tradwives to the process of selling the film rights to a novel. As well as being a phenomenally talented writer, Caro is also the co-host of Diabolical Lies- one of Ruchira's most recommended podcasts.A quick synopsis of Yesteryear: Natalie is a trad wife influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers. As far as her audience knows, Natalie loves her farmhouse, her well-behaved children, making sourdough from scratch and her perfect husband Caleb. But behind the scenes of her Instagram content, everything is very, very different. Then, one morning, Natalie wakes up in the 1800s. Her phone, her assistants, they're all gone. Is it a hoax? A reality show? A test from God? Natalie just knows she has to escape. And don't worry- no spoilers!Vanity Fair - Lifestyle Creator Nara Smith...

In Caro Claire Burke's debut novel, Yesteryear, a modern day tradwife influencer shares her picturesque farm life with 8 million followers … until one day, she wakes up in the 1800s and has to do it all for real. No running water, no electricity and no way out. But is she really in the past? How far will she go to get back to her perfect life? And how perfect was that life, really? Yesteryear is a twisty, compelling look at what the tradwife trend tells us about fame, tradition and womanhood. This week, Caro joins Mattea Roach to talk about her surprising tradwife protagonist, performing femininity and the Anne Hathaway film adaptation in the works.Liked this conversation?

Malala Yousafzai was 15 when a Taliban gunman shot her for advocating for girls' education in her native Pakistan. She understood that she was a target. “I had pictured it many times that this could happen. I had pictured it at school. I had pictured it in my school bus. I knew that the Taliban could do anything,” she told Terry Gross. Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize when she was just 17 years old. In an interview from a live event onstage, she talks about her childhood before the incident and finding herself after being in the public eye for so long.Also, we hear from actor Oscar Isaac. He's currently starring in the Netflix series ‘Beef' and recently played Dr. Victor Frankenstein in Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of ‘Frankenstein.' Book critic Maureen Corrigan recommends three books for the spring: ‘Yesteryear,' by Caro Claire Burke; ‘American Fantasy,' by Emma Straub; and ‘Enormous Wings,' by Laurie Frankel.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

This week, Kate sits down with Caro Claire Burke, author of the hit debut novel Yesteryear, the trad wife time travel thriller that triggered a publishing bidding war, has already been optioned by Anne Hathaway, and is Good Morning America's April book club pick. They discuss a variety of topics within the book (with spoilers, FYI), including how you write an unreliable narrator whose worldview fundamentally opposes your own, the layers of performance that start with God and end with the algorithm, why Natalie is deserving of sympathy as both a victim and a bad person, the Ballerina Farm and Ruby Franke parallels, Caleb as a vacant vessel, why the twist ending had Kate pacing at 2 AM rethinking her life choices, and how the epilogue reframes everything. They also detour into Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and the Taylor Frankie Paul of it all, plus sleepover discourse against Caro's will, how they both relate to Natalie's experience with being publicly perceived, and Caro's experience selling the book and film rights before the book was even finished. Spoilers throughout. Enjoy! Order Kate's NYT Bestselling book, One in a Millennial here! Text or leave a voicemail for Kate at 775-HEY-BETH!
