Podcast appearances and mentions of zoe heller

For this month we are collaborating with The Washington State Urology Society, to share their amazing podcast, The Original Guide to Men's Health hosted by Richard Pelman. We will be doing a collaborative episode with them in June for Men's Health Awareness Month, so be sure to check out their show and we'll be back with a new episode of Let's Examine This in June.     In this two part episode we explore where the modern male finds himself. We review data demonstrating a trend of increasing gaps in educational achievement, increasing rates of male suicide, and addictions, the preponderance of males in the homeless population and the decline in males participating in key careers.   We also hear about a Washington State bill to create a commission on boys and men, why it's important and potentially unique.   If you're unsure if men are indeed in crisis, or are already familiar with some of the issues, listen as we explore,learn and hear not only the issues but solutions from our two very thoughtful, knowledgeable and engaging guests.   Guests: Richard V. Reeves Richard V. Reeves is a senior fellow in Economic Studies,The Brookings Institute, where he holds the John C. and Nancy D. Whitehead Chair and leads the Boys and Men Project.

In Episode 14 of the EWBR podcast, Anisha & Dhruv discuss their favourite dark and disturbing books: from Christina Dalcher's Vox to George Orwell's 1984 to Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk About Kevin to Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let me Go and plenty, plenty more. Then there's a little rant about the Amy Adams starrer The Woman in The Window (sigh) and some high praise for Kate Winslet's riveting character study in the limited series, Mare of Easttown. Plus, after being lauded as the future of home entertainment, has the Netflix backlash begun? What gives?

We are back with season 3! Tara and Michelle discuss what creativity means to them and how they have developed small habits or rituals to help them be more relaxed and productive.  Tara and Michelle’s first creative act was writing fanfiction! Tara wrote Enid Blyton fanfiction while Michelle was inspired by R. L. Stine’s Goosebumps series. They discuss why reading newspaper articles, short stories, and newsletters is as important as reading books. Michelle sets annual reading goals instead of resolutions. Tara uses cooking and yoga to inspire her creativity. How did they start their own newsletters? How to get out of a reading slump? And is reading a form of self-care?

On December 1, 2020, our panel of experts discussed the 2021 Basel Convention restrictions on the global plastic scrap trade (you can view that recording on demand HERE). Now, almost one month after those restrictions went into effect, we interview Zoe Heller, Deputy Director for Policy Development at the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) regarding plastics recycling in the U.S., possible impacts of the restrictions, and other developments to expect in 2021 and beyond. Please note, the positions and opinions expressed by the speakers are strictly their own, and do not necessarily represent the views of their employers, nor those of the D.C. Bar, its Board of Governors or co-sponsoring Communities and organizations.

Alice and Bethany head to North London and into the world of prying middle-aged women with Notes on a Scandal by Zoe Heller and Bitter by Francesca Jakobi.

Welcome to Robe-isode II—the one where Kathleen is in her robe instead of Jason! Though Tim Fitts, Ali (The Co-op) and Zoe Heller were in the studio in Philly, (hopefully in their outdoor clothes) most of the gang was not present in the studio for this recording. Instead, they could be found in the comfort of hotel rooms, coffee shops and such, relying on modern technology to bring everyone in on the show! After some fun banter about ice cream sandwiches rolled in bacon bits, chocolate milk spiked with salt, and other reminiscences, they were ready to get down to business.  (We never believed for a second that Jason now works as a barista.) Both poems discussed in this podcast were by Ryan Clark. (Poems below the bio!) First up was “Creta Mine.” Jason described its initial tempo as adagio. Everyone else seemed to agree, in their own words, as the first part was slow and soothing, while the rest was more upbeat. They also applauded this poem as it focused on a topic rarely given the light of day: abandoned towns. Next up was “Crossing Trails: Cowboy to Homesteader” which received props for its intriguing formatting, resembling a river. Just take a look at the actual poem for yourself. The “river” is like seeing a shape in a cloud, you’ll either see it, or you won’t. Discussion surrounding this poem was followed by a long silence as the gang pondered on the piece. Remember when you listen: silence is the sound of thinking! In order to even more fully appreciate the work, Kathleen gave us a peek inside Clark’s cover letter, which is rarely ever done on the Slush Pile. The author used “homophonic translation,” to produce these poems. Listen to the podcast for a more in-depth description of the technique given by the author himself. Clark’s cover letter was so fascinating to point the crew decided that it would have to be published with the piece as an artist’s statement. The show wrapped with some of our favorite things: Tim recommends everyone visit every taco shop in San Francisco.  His opinion should be trusted, since he bragged about cooking burritos for a year after college. Kathleen would like us to listen to the On Being episode with Sharon Olds. This is Ali's last podcast as it is his last week working for DPG, so unfortunately, you won’t be hearing him as much around here in future podcasts. *cue the boos* However, he did leave us with the last words, “we’ll survive.” Let us know what you think of the show, the mag, our voices, and whether or not you’ve ever sprinkled salt in your chocolate milk!      Ryan Clark was born in what was once part of Greer County, Texas, but which now makes up the southwestern corner of Oklahoma. Thus, his parents would tell him that while he was born in the state of Oklahoma, he was--more importantly--born in the Republic of Texas. Today, he is strangely obsessed with borders and the doubling power of puns. As a result, he writes his poems using a unique method of homophonic translation that re-sounds existing texts based on each individual letter's potential for sound (i.e. "making puns out of everything"). He is the author of How I Pitched the First Curve (Lit Fest Press, 2019), and his poetry has recently appeared in Yemasse, The Shore, riverSedge, Flock, and Homonym. He is a winner of the 2018 San Antonio Writers Guild contest, and his work has been nominated for Best of the Net. He currently teaches creative writing at Waldorf University in Iowa, where he misses the relative temperateness of Texoma winters very much.     Creta Mine for Creta, Oklahoma, no longer a town     1.   Touch Creta wherever you want to seize a thing from out of the unfriendly earth.   This is a sound we make furious with mineral imagination, the heave of site   advertising what we love of the future, but which is just land unsuitable for farming.   Mine is a cover for rocks much like the rest but only these are mine—   this is a land that only I can open, and I will line my position with structures.     2.   To churn a crust into use, you must take a skin and tear the layers through a mill, where the word copper is processed from unwanted versions of redness the earth has retained. Then, from the freshly revealed form, make units of yield. Sell this in a quantity that feeds the mine you discovered when you bought what a place is.     3.   A town of Creta forgot to catch a feel for history, leaving nothing.   The mines opened after the wake had evened out.   This is how everything is fit to the bundle of was—not a trace of splash   but the unavoidable loss of stillness pulsing in new ways.   What left the land knew the dirt as well as the miners had.   Towns create enormous piles of knowing, of dreams   sown into everything in the dead of night.   It is not dug up and carried away.   It will not be processed.     4.   At the mile where a body was, I see nothing but a road-divided land. Trucks shake through the area automatic. Such is a repossessed story of Creta: contained in a line just for a moment, it drags its traces with it way out of sight. You send pounding feels toward the sound of its rumors and know this is over already. No foot is large enough to drive itself through years of dirt. Time shovels its song deep and unaware.     5.   Wide the pay of oil, wide the machine to drill, wide enough to hide a blue sky in unceasing width of hope, wide enough to force it down with eventual losses, down where you realize you were wrong to spend so much to take apart the deep earth.   Among the early efforts to make of Creta a way to take, this was a faint passing through the rustling of its scrub brush. Each of its resources refused to make productive land enough for a town, and so miners shred their hands for awhile and leave unused parts far more patient than money.     6.   In a roughly peopled width of space, Creta is a sign grown into   fathers and rust-turf, mothers and wind-dress, a thought just looking   outside at the everyday the town never got to reach.   The mine is not only a word for economy and scratch,   but also the way the home hears itself in a mind.     Crossing Trails: Cowboy to Homesteader for Warren, Oklahoma     1.   We tether to a bend in a fork in a mud- faced river. It is much more complex than this course of trails that drained us through the past, this loud gathering of cows that has given us this process for roots as to what living has launched us here.   Our settlement grew at the feet of granite in a wildness of grasses flattened hard as a crossing.   Here are engines we turn into a way to make a home, into a way to feel love at the view of really any fixed thing when we are away for as long as it takes to see it with the eyes of return. We place ourselves at the road where pass a wide thread of cattle, and we stay to build when the thread is cut.     2.   To be a product of the Great Plains   you must become a line with a series   of hooks holding you in the dirt.   The force you fear is the wind—   it isn’t history in the usual sense,   but it does pull you out and forget.     3.   Religion assures us as a sound heavy enough to anchor a Warren uncrossed by the herds of the past.   We are a strong series of ties in a building fit to purpose. We imagine the spirit entering the skin and talking.   What thing do we have as a way to hold each other on the frontier except for this. The building of rooms   extends with the distance from isolation we are in prayer, and these rooms are remade over years as signs of Warren’s existing.   For everyday that we are full we are a town that continues rising out of grasses.

Recycling in the U.S. is highly dependent on the ability to export our recycling overseas. In California alone, 62 percent of the states' recycling is exported to China. However, in July 2017, China announced a policy called National Sword, which limits the import of contaminated recyclable commodities and increases inspections of recyclable commodity imports. Tune in as we speak with Zoe Heller, Assistant Director for Policy Development at the California Department of Resources Recycling, about how National Sword is impacting local recycling efforts across the U.S., and what investments would be required to create the domestic recycling infrastructure needed to keep U.S. recycling onshore.

Author of The Believers

This from Contemporary Writers: " Zoe Heller was born in London in 1965 and educated at Oxford University and Columbia University, New York.  She is a journalist who, after writing book reviews for various newspapers, became a feature writer for The Independent.  She wrote a weekly confessional column for the Sunday Times for four years, but now writes for the Daily Telegraph and earned the title ‘Columnist of the Year' in 2002. She is the author of two novels: Everything You Know (2000), a dark comedy about misanthropic writer Willy Miller, and Notes on a Scandal (2003) which tells the story of an affair between a high school teacher and her student through the eyes of the teacher's supposed friend, Barbara Covett. It was shortlisted for the 2003 Man Booker Prize for fiction, and was released as a feature film, starring Cate Blanchett and Dame Judi Dench." We met in Ottawa to talk, ‘companionably' about her latest novel The Believers.
