Tyler and Logan examine the work and legacy of Stephen King, especially his part-memoir part-writing manual On Writing. How do you incorporate theme into stories without beating readers over the head? Is profanity in stories ever justified? How do King's stories understand good and evil? Tune in to find out!

Recently retired economics teacher Mark Ryall. 

Age-Decoded is his first novel. It addresses the question: What could possibly go wrong with the advent of CRISPR genetic engineering technology?

 Genetic engineering is about to explode in our near-future world. Many applications will be very positive, such as possible eradication of Cystic Fibrosis, cancer, sight disorder, HIV, Alzheimers, to mention a few. 

However, as with any new technology, humans must be careful to harness it safely and humanely.  

So many people feel isolated, alone, and powerless, not living their most authentic selves, but their weakest. Why is this? The ego? Culture? Lack of fairness? 

Why isn't the world the harmonious place that many feel inside themselves? It often comes down to, are you interconnected or disconnected? Take a listen.

 Dieter Randolph is a third-generation minister, writer, coach, and teacher.

From his bio:

"I am on fire to find ways to take the spiritual experience beyond the traditional church setting. With that idea in mind, I've spoken and taught in countless venues and formats, all over the country. Wherever I find myself, people find me.... I am here to help you find a life that you love, one that feeds you instead of making you feel tired. We’re all in this together. When you win, so does the world."

Listen to the lively conversation diving deep into what drives us, ails us, and ultimately sets us free.

Are you expanding into the infinite riding on an energy wave? Or are you collapsing like a star upon yourself when the moment feels like a straitjacket you're stuck in. Take a listen.

Highly entertaining interview with "slightly deranged author" (as he puts it!) of the highly popular Nightlord Series. The series has orcs, dragons, wizards , witches, magicians, and vampires, and all with very interesting twists. 

These are monster sized books, many over 700 pages. He just released his 7th book in the series 

Nightlord: Fugue 

Once you listen to the interview you will understand how active his mind is and how he produces such sizeable tomes and such a funny fantastical world.

Fulfilled or Sad?  Either way we're going to die. Time doesn't care, do you?

Now that I turned fifty I care a WHOLE lot more.

Nous poursuivons notre entretien avec Arthur de Pins et Léonie De Rudder. Si vous n'avez pas écouté le début, nous vous conseillons de démarrer par l'épisode 1.

Dans cet 2e épisode, Arthur et Léonie nous expliquent ce qui, selon eux, fait UNE BONNE HISTOIRE. Nous parlons de celles qui les ont marqués et de celles qu'ils ont détestées (même quand tout le monde les trouvait géniales). Ils nous dévoilent aussi les meilleurs conseils qu'ils ont reçus et leurs méthodes pour écrire des dialogues efficaces.

We tried ignoring it as we walked along the inlet. But there was so much. What else do we try ignoring as we walk along in life? We are part of the problem and part of the solution. 

We also try ignoring the garbage within us that follows us every step we take.

Are we bringing our bile or are we bringing our best?
