Psalm 83 can guide us in praying when it seems enemies prevail against God's work. We should pray for God's word and truth to become known and for His power to be shown. 

The famous English poet, playwright, and actor William Shakespeare had during his lifetime produced 39 plays which are widely regarded as being among the greatest in the English language and are continually performed around the world, translated into every major living language. In recent years, modern criticism has labeled some of these plays "problem plays" that elude easy categorisation, or perhaps purposely break generic conventions, and has introduced the term romances for what scholars believe to be his later comedies. What is so enigmatic about these later plays? Today, the distinguished American scholar and professor of English, Dr. Seth Lerer is going to walk us through the major transitions of Shakespeare's plays as well as how to appreciate the aestheticism demonstrated in his later plays.

Dr. Seth Lerer specializes in historical analyses of the English language, and in addition to critical analyses of the works of several authors, particularly Geoffrey Chaucer. He is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Literature at the University of California, San Diego, where he served as the Dean of Arts and Humanities from 2009 to 2014. Dr. Lerer previously held the Avalon Foundation Professorship in Humanities at Stanford University and won the 2010 Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism and the 2009 National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism for Children’s Literature: A Readers’ History from Aesop to Harry Potter.

In tempestuous times, God challenges us to be courageous, which is not easy. Yet, when we doubt, Jesus reaches out to help us. Can we keep moving forward in times of adversity? Can we hear his voice in the midst of the storm?

I sat down with Venetian Renaissance expert Monika Schmitter to discuss the enigmatic Tempest by Giorgione. Why is this image so difficult to define? What is the current state of scholarly interpretation of its form and function? This interview covers the complicated history of the painting, in part responding to Prof. Schmitter's recent publication on the work, available here: https://www.academia.edu/98650605/Describing_Giorgiones_Tempest_Iconography_Genre_Interpretation

Prof. Schmitter is also the author of "The Art Collector in Early Modern Italy: Andrea Odoni and his Venetian Palace," available here:

This was Y Combinator week in a sense, with the well-known accelerator showing off hundreds of startups over a two-day period. We had some thoughts about that. But! There was a lot more for Mary Ann, Natasha and Alex to dig into, so we have a little something for everyone today.

Here's the show notes, enjoy:

• First, support our sibling podcasts Found and Chain Reaction in the Webbys! They deserve it, and we're voting for them too.
• For our Deals of the Week, we had: Monument and Tempest shared patients’ private data with advertisers, Acorns buys GoHenry, and Alex has notes on how the Q1 venture capital market is shaping up.
• Looking for all the Y Combinator notes your heart could desire? You can find our favorites from days one and two at those links, and read this Natasha piece on why the Bay is Back.
• We also took the time to discuss the term 'demo day' for an event where there are no, you know, demos.
• Latin America was back on the show thanks to Mary Ann, giving us a good reminder that we have not spent enough time lately looking at the region.
• We closed with Frank, a frank chat that frankly had us shaking our heads. Fraud is bad, and nearly doubly so when it comes to startups, where trust plays such a critical role.

Elizabeth spends some time reflecting on her relationship with booze this episode and how it’s changed since back in the day when she was relying on Mommy Juice to get her through life. She vents a bit about the intense marketing of booze to women and the story we’re fed that it’s unquestionably fun and relaxing. If this strikes a little chord with you, she includes a couple books (of course) that you may want to check out and see if maybe, just maybe, it’s time to reevaluate your relationship here.

Holly Whitaker has been a pioneering voice in addiction and recovery since the launch of her Hip Sobriety platform in 2014, which recently relaunched as online sobriety school Tempest. In this wide-ranging conversation, Holly and Ruby get into the nuances that exist on the subject of grey area drinking—and where the "sober" and "sober curious" communities both differ and overlap.

As well as her opinion that "there is no such thing as an alcoholic" (and her super progressive thinking on this), Holly shares deep insights from her work at the leading edge of the sober revolution. In this episode, she and Ruby also discuss:

-Holly's views on the "The New Sobriety"—and why more people quitting booze is so much more than a lifestyle trend

-How the capitalist credo of seeking happiness outside of ourselves is what begets addiction

-Why AA was a "non-starter" for Holly, due to its patriarchal programming

-Her definition of "problem" drinking (clue: it's as soon as alcohol presents as a problem in your life)

-Holly's tips and advice on how to socialize, switch-off, and date as a non-drinker

Holly is also founder of media platform The Temper. You can learn more about her online sobriety school Tempest HERE and follow her on Instagram @holly.

In this episode, Gabe talks with David Obuchowski, a writer, songwriter, musician, producer, and podcaster, about his creative process, getting into the “flow state”, working through “writer’s block”, and knowing when something is done. He shares a story about a chance meeting with a drummer that was the begin of a lifelong relationship filled with a constant focus on betterment and growth. He talks about his different band projects from Goes Cube to Distant Correspondent to his most recent, Publicist UK. He shares another inspiring story about how a teacher caught him off guard and lit a fire for his writing that has yet to diminish. He also gives a back story on his podcast, Tempest, that offers moving stories about life, people, and cars.

Holly Whitaker was at one time addicted to alcohol, pot, and cigarettes. She was bulimic, depressed, tried to get help. But the services that existed—the clinics and AA—weren’t right for her. Six years ago, she finally hacked her way to her own recovery. Now she’s founded a company called Tempest that is reinventing rehab for a new generation. Whitaker's plan makes recovery affordable, accessible, empowering, self-directed, and non-anonymous. On this episode of Speaking Broadly, Whitaker shares intimate details of her own story as well as her pointed opinions about our culture which glamorizes alcohol while demonizing those who have a troubled relationship with it.
