That's one of the most wonderful podcasts I've ever listened to, however there was only one thing that made me repeat some sentences over and over again which is that there was a kinda echo in the video which is to say the podcast wasn't enough clear. Hope you work on fixing this problem with the coming podcasts so we can benefit from them please.
I love how nice these two are to each other! Very different personalities and writing styles, but they found their common ground 😊 (also always cracking up at how much christopher hates the movie adaptation 😂)
I absolutely LOVED this podcast! Thank you to both Allie and Katy for your inspiring and thought provoking conversation. As someone who loves art history, and who has owned 'The Story of Art' from waaaaay back, I was intrigued by Katy's new book, 'The Story of Art - Without Men', which placed the spotlight firmly onto non-male artists. (Fantastic title, by the way!) So I bought the book... and completely and utterly devoured it! Where had this been all my life? (I mean that literally, by the way. Where HAD this been, this long overdue recognition and acknowledgement of female, queer and non-binary artists?) Like Katy, I am shocked that, not only are non-male artists SOOOOoooo under represented in formal art circles and institutions, but that I - a lifelong art lover and female artist myself - had NEVER EVEN NOTICED OR QUESTIONED IT!!!!!!!! Hopefully, with books like Katy's and podcasts like this, all that is about to change... Thanks again, ladies x
Gostei muito das ideias da Tana sobre sequências diretas. Quando você lê uma história, qualquer que seja, você sabe que ali, aquele momento é um momento decisivo para os personagens. O momento mais importante da vida deles talvez. A ideia de uma sequência onde ocorre a mesma coisa soa redundante e exaustiva. Isso me lembrou séries de filmes como “Pânico”, “Vingadores” e “Velozes e Furiosos”. Toda vez que um filme novo é feito eles o apresentam com a mesma ladainha de que “os riscos são maiores”, o novo vilão é praticamente invencível e muito mais poderoso que o anterior e que os heróis portanto nunca se depararam com uma situação como aquela antes e blábláblá… É patético.
I've never heard so many words committed to dancing around the truth: women are childish and in a never-ending pursuit of "not being bored". Women in aggregate are laying waste to society as we speak and dragging children along with them every step of their "journeys". Men have figured out some time ago that there is no "all"; otherwise we would have found it first and restricted access to it. But women, in the name of being anti-patriarchal, won't take our (men's) word for it and civilization suffers while women continue to bump their heads and write overly verbose books while they seek an alternate outcome.
I read All Fours in one weekend. This conversation does so much justice to this extraordinary masterpiece that will be talked about for years. Thank you so much!
My cousin had a near death experience 30 years ago… I’ve been hooked on studying NDE for years. It was the Jeff O’Driscoll shared death experience that changed me from skeptic to believer without a doubt… I attend IANDS meetings and meet NDErs and listen to their stories - it’s a fascinating topic.
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview and the topic. I have never had a near death experience and growing up with an atheist dad, did not have a religious upbringing. However, my entire life I had experiences I could not explain and didn't talk about because in our house, it seemed to me to be a forbidden topic. Later in life through my meanderings I became an "energy worker." I volunteered at a cancer center. When I was working with terminally ill patients I knew nothing about, often a person or a pet would make their presence known. These days, I just accept it. I can''t define it no matter how much I read and try to learn. I really enjoy Anthony Chene's video interviews for their quiet, non-exploitive or sensationalistic approach to NDEs. And if it is helpful, there ARE groups of NDE-ers who meet, and several very serious researchers. Thank you for capturing your experience. I have never met a client who has not had an unexplainable experience by a certain age that they are afraid to talk about for fear of being thought crazy. m.youtube.com/@AnthonyCheneProduction iands.org/
Coming to this a little late, but I missed Ann Patchett at the Sydney Writers Festival this week. I really enjoyed this session and the obvious knowledge of Miwa and Shannon. I've subscribed now, so there goes a few hours of indulgent listening. 🙂
ILYON WOO's intricate enlivening narrative of Ellen and William Craft's "triumphant" journey lends urgent relevancy to our times. Her deeply documented text, MASTER SLAVE HUSBAND WIFE, will serve as centerpiece for an American Studies course engaging students in comparative inquiry into America's fuller vibrant "memory."
I liked this interview because it dove right into the synopsis whereas a lot of your other ones are so meandering that I could be listening for 20 minutes without having the foggiest idea or what the book is even about . For those ones I tend to ignore the interview all together in frustration and just go to the Amazon description . I think a lot of booktubers are too afraid to give away spoilers but I need to have some sense of the synopsis to know if it would even want to invest my time in the interview let alone the book!!!
So true that there are no "black" people in Africa. I was born in a country in West Africa, my birth certificate & passport has no racial identitifiers. I came to the US at 18 to attend university and I got a new label..... black!
I enjoyed Ms. Messer's conversation with Carvell Wallace. I was elated to learn that the late poet, activist, and educator has impacted Mr. Wallace's writing in meaningful ways.
