Joy Cometh in the Mourning

[Enter Nathan, holding cell phone]
OK, Lee, well, you hang in there, bro. Don't give that nurse of yours a hard time. Yeah. Keep in mind, she's the one that gives you your sponge baths. Oh, I know. Shoot, I don't know if she gives massages…ask her. Yeah, she does look Swedish…you never know. Or maybe she's a Nazi…you better look out. Yeah, the rough stuff. Anyways. Hang in there. I'll see you soon. Yeah. Hey, do you want any magazines or anything? I can bring them by when I come later…"The Complete Works of Ernest Hemmingway"? What, are you trying to depress yourself? Come on! Seriously, though, what can I bring you? "The Internal Organ Trader"? OK, well, I can see you're in a fine mood, then. I'll assume you're all set. See you later, Bro. Ok. Bye, Lee.
[Ends phone conversation, pockets cell phone. Long pause, begins conversation with self, slowly begins to acknowledge and include audience]
Lee, Lee, Lee. How did all of this happen? Why is it that you are where you are? You're such a good man. My brother is a good man. He's a big man. He's the most unpredictable, funny, bizarre person I've ever known. Bizarre in a good way. He just has such a different outlook on life, a different approach. And now, for him, this life is ending.
There was this time I was over at Lee's house. He and his wife were there. His son Kyle came bursting into the house. He had just arrived home from school, the bus had dropped him off. He had to be all of 10 or 11 at the time. Anyway, he comes rushing into the room where we all were sitting, talking, and he's carrying this art project he had done in class…kind of this empty wine bottle thing with little squares of colored tissue paper pasted to it. He was so excited. Anyway, before he could start to speak, the bottle slipped out of his hands and broke on the hardwood floor. First there was silence. Then, of course, Kyle burst into tears, but before any of us could respond, Lee was on his feet. "Nobody touch it! Wait!" he says. "Look!" The bottle had broken by the window, and the sunlight was pouring in, right onto the broken bottle. The sun was causing a jumble of colored shadows to be thrown onto the floor. The shards of glass still had the colored paper on them, and the rainbow effect was fascinating. None of us noticed this until Lee pointed it out. He broke into this huge smile, and ran to get his camera.
Of course, Kyle didn't know what to think. He'd stopped crying, and was kind of standing there, stunned. Lee returns with his camera, and a few different lenses…he knows all about photography and stuff. He spent the next 15 minutes sizing up different shots, while his son watched quietly. The photo's turned out great, you should see them. Kyle has a few of them on his wall. He was so proud.
But, you see, all the rest of us could think initially was, "Oops." How sad it was; his bottle was ruined. But, Lee immediately saw it differently. I mean, who would have thought at a time like that to notice little colored shadows? Come on!
He used to always come to meet me at the airport. It didn't matter why I was away, if he was in town when I was returning, he'd be at the airport to meet me. The schmuck would always pull the same joke. He'd have two or three of his friends there with him, and before the plane would arrive, they'd start babbling about "I can't believe he's coming here! And we'll get to see him! This is SO great!" Stuff like that. Start getting the people around them to think that someone famous was arriving. He'd have his camera ready. By the time the passengers began to unload, they'd have a couple dozen people craning their necks to see who this famous person was that they were about to see. Invariably, I would be too wrapped up in my own thoughts to remember this ritual, so I'd come strolling off the plane, and up would come rushing my brother and his pals, screaming "There he is, oh my God, oh my God!" They'd be snapping pictures, and pushing a pen and paper into my hand, begging for autographs.
It never failed. I would end up signing dozens of autographs for complete strangers before reaching the baggage claim. It was hilarious. I loved it and I hated it. The looks on peoples faces, as they try to process what was happening. Like, "I know I should be happy, but God as my witness, I have no idea who this clown is, but maybe I'll find out, and then this autograph will be worth something."
Yeah, he was funny that way. He IS funny that way…I keep catching myself referring to him in the past tense. He's still alive, for crying out loud! He hasn't gone anywhere! Yet. He's got what…2 months maybe. Is that what they said? Yeah, about two months. So he's a goner. I mean, the cancer has spread everywhere. He had a tumor in his gut the size of a softball. How do you miss something that size? Well, Lee was no…IS no…small guy. What, 6'4" maybe? 245. They removed the tumor, but the crap had spread all over. If it was isolated, I guess they'd have a shot, I mean, if it were in his kidneys, heck, I'd have given him one of mine. But his liver, his kidneys, his spinal cord, for pete's sake! It's not like you can get a spinal cord transplant. I'd have given him my spine, if it would have fit him. Well, he always said I had no spine to begin with.
OK, so, how do you mourn a man that's not dead yet? I mean, just what on earth am I supposed to do? What's the proper way, the grown up way, to handle this? He likes to talk about it. I hate to talk about it. I'm always trying to change the subject with him, because I can't bear it. But he says it makes him feel better to talk about it. So we talk. I tell him I'm new to this death thing. I apologize. Probably too often. I mean, I've had relatives that have died before, back on the east coast. Relatives I've met like maybe once, when I was like 7 or something. It's like, "Remember Uncle Vinny? The one that was married to your Aunt Rosie that made you that sweater when you were in the 4th grade? Oh, come on! You remember! Here's a picture…remember? No? Well, just as well, he died a horrible death. Hit by a truck."
It's hard to be shaken or moved by the passing of someone like that. But that's as close as I'd ever been to touching death until now. Now, it couldn't possibly be any closer. And here I was, in his hospital room, like an idiot, trying to explain this to him, and what's he do? He breaks some mean wind. I mean, you could hear it all the way down the hall. The nurse runs in to see if he's ok. He's laughing, I'm pissed. The nurse looks ill. It's a mess.
This is the same man who would boast of being able to fart the music to the Star Spangled Banner…and thought it was patriotic! Although he would say that he couldn't hit the high note without the aid of a thong bikini. Sick pud. He told me once that after a particularly spicy Italian meal, he attempted to fart the music to "O Solo Mio." "Was it a success?" I asked. He said, "Sort of…I ended up doing a variation that I like to call 'I Soil-oed Me-o.' "
So figure that one out for me! He could be brilliant one moment, and flat out disgusting the next. Well, maybe not flat out disgusting, but, for crying out loud, show some restraint, you know? It's not that he enjoyed embarrassing people so much as he just approached life like an adventure…you know…like, "What's around this corner?" Like life was a big toy, a play thing. He was open and cautious at the same time. He was…IS! HE IS! Good grief! He's not dead yet! What is wrong with me? What am I doing wrong!? Why do I feel like I'm exploring a foreign planet, for crying out loud!? How the heck am I supposed to know what's normal and what isn't in all this…what's expected and what's inappropriate? What, do I go check out books on it at the library or something? Call up a radio therapist? Beat my head against a wall?
I'm starting to wonder if it would have been easier to take if he had died suddenly. I mean, obviously I'd much rather have him not die at all, but I wonder if in some ways the suddenness of unexpected death would have numbed me, or something. I don't know…I suppose it would be like losing an arm, or something…I mean, you know you're going to survive and go on without the arm, but would you rather have it cut off quickly, and deal with the sudden shock of "O my God! I just got my friggin' arm cut off!" or would you rather have it pinned and slowly crushed and ripped from your body, the whole time clinging to the hope that somehow you'll be rescued, and your arm will be spared, and fixed, and everything will be all right somehow? I know that's kind of graphic, but that's kind of what I feel like…like I'm slowly, painfully losing a part of myself. I'm pinned and he's being ripped from me, and there's nothing I can do about it.
Well, I suppose there's no real 'right way' to handle all this…as though it should matter at all what I'm going through…sounds so selfish, doesn't it? Here Lee's dying, and I'm wondering how I'm supposed to be handling this.
[long pause] He would answer ringing payphones, and pretend that he was a dj at a radio station. "You're the 14th caller! You win! You're on the air right now! Who are you and where are you from?" He would convince people that they had just won a thousand dollars. One time he actually got a name and mailing address to send the money to. He sent a picture of a sucker, appropriately enough.
He would drive through at a fast food place, and when they'd ask him his order, he'd say, "I'd like one small step for man…and one giant leap for mankind…no, wait, Houston, could you supersize that? Over." Oh, he thought that was a riot. Who thinks up crap like that, much less does it? I suppose I could start doing it. Sort of an "in memory of" type thing.
OK, so…to Lee, the man that saw things differently, I salute you. I'm sure it will all work out. How'd the Beatles put it? Obladee, oblada, life goes on. How stupid. Well, I suppose I should pick him up a couple magazines anyway.

This is an incredible monologue, Dave. The humour, the pathos...it's all there. Very intense, very masculine in it's character's pov yet very human over-all. I truly loved it. It's beautiful.
Dave, If only we could learn to celebrate the uniqueness in one another, as you have in this wonderful article. Hope to see more of your writing on FW soon. Blessings, Rita - ROFL
Dave I remember reading this when it first posted. How you can take a subject like this and have me wiping my eyes in laughter is just amazing to me! Write on dude!
Well, it is hard to handle a death in the family, especially the death of someone who marches to a different drummer and keeps us all going. I really enjoyed this article, even if it is for men!
I loved the title and the article was great! We all need someone like this in our lives who knows how to color outside the lines.

text: Posted October 23, 2007 How many of you out there take great pains to stay exceptionally still while sitting in your stand? While I sit in pine trees most if the time I cannot sit still but I can get away with it most of the time. When I don't hear anything, i may whittle a stick or something else to do so my hands do not get cold but other than taht I don't sit still all of the time. If I feel i need to stand up and maybe put my jacket on I'll sit very still and listen for 30 seconds to a minute and then look around, but then I'll move like normal. Whats your practice?

2010 Happiness Challenge: For those of you following the 2010 Happiness Project Challenge, to make 2010 a happier year – and even if you haven't officially signed upfor the challenge — last month's focus was Money. Last week's resolution was to Spend out. Did you try to follow that resolution? Did it help to boost your happiness?
This month's theme is Mindfulness. Mindfulness can bring many benefits. It brings clarity and vividness to present experience. It may help people end unhealthy habits and patterns. It can enhance a sense of well-being and calm troubled spirits. The more I think about happiness, the more importance I attribute to mindfulness.
Which is a bit unfortunate, but I am not very mindful. I'm working hard on this.
This week's resolution, then, is actually a quiz. How mindful are you? It's worth thinking about.
If you want to read more about this resolution, check out…
Quiz: How mindful are you? I'm not very.
In which I realize that I'm having trouble staying "mindful."
Asking yourself whether you're happy — good idea, or not?
If you're new, here's information on the 2010 Happiness Challenge (or watch the intro video). It's never too late to start! You're not behind, jump in right now, sign up here. For more ideas, check out the Happiness Project site on Woman's Day.
* A happiness challenge that many people face is worrying about their weight. I met the blogger of Losing Weight in the City, who writes about trying to live a healthier, happier life. If this is an issue for you, you'll find a lot of great material there.
* Shameless plug: Mothers' Day is May 9 — please consider giving the gift of The Happiness Project to the mothers in your life! Remember that old saying: "If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." I've noticed that many husbands seem to buy the book with another old saying in mind: "Happy wife, happy life."
Also, if you'd like a personalized, signed bookplate to put in the book — for a gift or for yourself — just email me the name of the recipient and the address to which I should mail the bookplate, and I'll send it right off. Feel free to ask for as many as you like. My email is grubin [at] gretchenrubin [.com]

Helen Zaltzman is the co-host of England's popular podcast, Answer Me This. This past winter, she invaded America with her new Radiotopia show, The Allusionist, which investigates language and culture. On Valentine's Day, she and The Timbre's Devon Taylor enjoyed a cross-continental conversation where they discussed Helen's new show, the gender imbalances in radio, comedy podcasts, and how you should always leave listeners wanting more.
It occurred to me this morning that it's Valentine's Day and right now it is evening there and I may be interrupting your Valentine's Day plans.
Oh, no, I don't do Valentine's Day.
Girl after my own heart.
I don't get it.
Me neither. It feels like, "Hey, quickly show someone you love them if you haven't."
"…at a commercially dictated time."
Valentine, the patron saint of epileptics and beekeepers. I guess it's like if you don't really want to do Christmas. You still can't have an average normal day on Christmas day without feeling like your soul is slipping down the drain.
Well, you just can't go on social media. Otherwise you're okay. I mean, I live alone in an apartment. My dog doesn't know it's Valentine's Day.
It's Valentine's Day every day if you're a dog.
Well, I get to spend my Valentine's Day with you. Which is lovely.
I can already tell this is going to be fun. So, my partner is really jealous that I'm doing this interview, partially because he's a fan of yours and also because he's obsessed with English culture. He's a total Anglophile.
I never get tired of that. Whenever I visit, Americans are so nice and polite.
I don't understand that. I don't think Americans are that nice or polite.
I think it's just the accent. I think as soon as they hear the accent, everyone switches into extremely accommodating mode.
When you were in talks with Roman Mars to create your show, did you come out to Oakland or was that all done from abroad?
I'll explain the trajectory of my relationship with Roman. I first met him when I was interviewing him for a BBC special about podcasts. I think he already listened to my show, Answer Me This, so he felt like he knew me. Then we were both on the same panel at South by Southwest. We were on that with Jesse Thorn. Then, last summer he came to stay here for like a week because he had some shows in England and Ireland. He had been keen to get Answer Me This into the first wave of Radiotopia. He talked to me about it a few months before he started. But PRX was like, "No, no comedy shows." I told him about a show I'd really like to make and then a few weeks later he emailed me and said, "You know, I think it's good." It just goes to show that you should pitch to people when they're jet-lagged and vulnerable.
I'm going to have to try that.
Yeah, or when they're staying in your house. You can just lock them out.
Or not feed them.
Why didn't PRX want to add any comedy shows?
Roman's attitude was "just good shows" and he liked Answer Me This, but they were like, "We don't get it." He would say, "No, no, it's special. It's not what you think it is from having not listened to it." I don't know why he thinks it's special.
It's special.
It worked out better for me better in the end because I wouldn't be making The Allusionist if they had taken Answer Me This. I have wanted to make this show for years.
I feel like the comedy premise has given a lot of podcasters license to have shows that don't necessarily have a focused point.
Yes, I absolutely agree. This is something we always felt we had to be aware of when we started Answer Me This. We put a lot of effort into making sure the show was tight and had a concept. The best piece of advice we got when we started was "Make sure it's not just two friends talking shit." When I am training people, I always say, "This is really important. You cannot take a listener's time for granted. The whole Internet is there for them and, if they have chosen you, that is extremely generous of them. Repay that with something good."
That's good advice.
Yet, eight years later, I am still amazed that people are doing shows where they think they can just switch the mic on and magic will happen.
When we were building our website, we spent a lot of time debating the coverage. In fact, we still do. We talk about it every day. We ultimately felt like those comedy shows don't lend themselves to much discussion, though we don't want to ignore something that is culturally relevant. Those shows have so much loyalty.
I don't listen to comedy podcasts even though my brother makes one.
But The Bugle has a focus.
Yes, and he puts in a lot of writing. So much effort goes into that show. But I rarely listen to comedy shows in general. There is a kind of predictability to them. And I know a lot of people who are amusing. Maybe those shows are for people who don't have any funny friends? Those are the conversations they don't get in life. For me, I really love the story shows–the ones that take you on this little journey of knowledge that you didn't have when you started the show. I like them because they're not as much like tuning into your interior monologue. I want a podcast to tune out my interior monologue.
Isn't that why we drink?
<laughs> And, see, I don't really drink.
So you need podcasts.
I guess if podcasts are replacing radio, it makes sense. People put on radio for company. Maybe that's why people are listening to these very long, unedited conversations. But sometimes I just think the production is almost an insult to the audience.
Comedy is so subjective. If you don't find it funny, it's very hard to review its quality. There are other shows I listen to where I'm not really that into it, but I can see that it's good. It's just not to my tastes. But I think with comedy you can't really do that because they appeal more to your emotions.
My partner and I are more drawn to narratives anyway. We feel like our backgrounds as writers make us slightly more qualified to review those types of shows. With comedy, we really wouldn't know where to start.
What's the benefit of picking it apart anyway? The magic of comedy is when you don't understand why it's making you laugh. But if you did, it probably wouldn't. You would just be like, "That's clever," rather than laughing.
Do you feel like writing about podcasts has tampered with your enjoyment of them?
Hmm. Now you're interviewing me.
<laughs> I can't help myself!
It's okay. It's really nerve-wracking interviewing interviewers. You're like, "Oh god, they're going to think this is a terrible interview."
No, no, we just like having an interesting chat with people. What I like about the longform interviews on your site is that you have obviously edited them very well.
Well, thanks.
Keep it up. <laughs>
I am going to use that as a segue because I want to talk to you about editing. I have read a lot of stuff from you and about you online where you talk about the importance of editing. It seems to be something you really prize and work hard at. I wanted to hear about why you felt like that was the work you needed to put in.
Before I was doing the podcast, I was doing freelance publishing work. I was doing proofreading and copy-editing on books. What I liked was having a finite amount of material that I just had to make as good a version of itself as possible. When it came to podcasts, I liked the fact that I just had to carve away as much stuff as possible to reveal the best version of what we had recorded that day. We record twice as much as what goes out. I don't know why we put in so much effort at the beginning because no one told us to and we didn't know anything, but it's really good that we did because when you're excited to start something, you have a lot more energy than when the reality of doing the thing kicks in. We already had it in place.
At the beginning, I felt like Olly was a lot more of a dominating person than I was and I didn't have as much control during the show. But afterwards with the editing, I felt like I could control it a bit more. It also gave us the freedom to try things that might not work. Go off on tangents. If they worked, great. If they didn't, get rid.
We were so aware that you have an extremely short time to catch a person's attention online. I find that now when I listen to podcasts. If in the first three minutes they haven't grabbed me, it feels like twenty minutes. Like when you're watching a YouTube ad and you're like, "Why is this taking forever?" I suppose it's just the idea that there is more stuff that I will be interested in than I will have time to listen to in my lifetime. I don't have time to waste time on something I don't like because that is taking up time that I could be spending on something I do like. I think it's because of that more than that I have a four-minute attention span.
It's funny, with The Allusionist, sometimes it is so short that I have the opposite feeling. I want more of it. Like this past week when you're talking about curses. I loved that. I felt like I could listen to it for forty minutes. You keep it so short that I am left wanting more.
Always leave them wanting more!
When something is short and enjoyable, it's such a mark of a good show because you know someone has probably left things on the cutting room floor that were probably really good, but not great.
Or really good, but a different story. To get to it would take away from the main one that you're telling. I wanted to make a short show anyway because now I'm finding if I have an hour and a half, my thought is "I can listen to three half-hour podcasts in that time that are different from different people." I always want to hear different voices and learn different things. I also wanted to make something really different than Answer Me This. I don't know how to make The Allusionist yet and I knew that I couldn't learn how to make it before making it. I would have to make some, put it out, and keep making it. When I started, I was really shitting myself about it for months–not literally.
Three months before starting it, I was having anxiety dreams about the show. When we started Answer Me This, the audience was a lot smaller for podcasts. We talked to all of our friends about it and some of them heard the first episode, which wasn't very good, and therefore thought it must be shit forever. And then a few years later, they would happen to hear one and be like, "Oh, it got better. I wasn't expecting that." People will judge it on the first thing they hear.
With this show, I was like, "I would really love it if no one could hear it for the first four months. Then there would be several out and they could listen to it." At the moment while the show is establishing itself, it's probably good for the episodes to kind of be as different from each other as possible. Then when you hear more than one, you kind of join the dots in your mind and you can form a picture of the show. I tend not to listen to podcasts until there are six on the feed. Or four. Then I am a lot more generous to the first one. Because if the first one is the best one, I think the show is a bit fucked. I think making a short show really focuses what I'm trying to do. It might grow longer and sprawling and lazy.
When you talk about the evolution of the show over time, do you feel like that's something that happens because of your instincts or the reaction or response that you get?
I think it's my instincts, and the character of the show kind of settles after a little while. But I find people's reaction kind of paranoia-inducing. I am doing all of this myself, which I've never done before. Even though I work alone a lot, there is always someone else's opinion to factor in. The fact that there is no one else but me to say, "This is the right direction" or "Maybe try this" is really terrifying.
Right. When people are watching, you can't quietly tinker with something. The tinkering is loud.
Yes. Absolutely. And generally I've found podcast fans to be the nicest people on the Internet. I don't want to tempt fate, but it's very rare that we get people just being shitty like YouTube commenters. Even when people are complimentary–like a lot of people really liked the episode that is about the word "cunt" and they were like, "Yeah, do more like that." And I'm like, "I can't always do a show like that because most words don't have a story that has so many different nuances and funny ways you can go with it."
I think you can get paralyzed by people's responses. We have had that a lot and we're doing something on a much smaller stage than what you're doing. Some people are always going to dislike it. It's always going to be the case. If you try to please everybody, you end up with something that is shapeless and milquetoast.
Yeah, it's compromised, isn't it?
I think so.
You're right. You can't please everybody–and you don't need to, because the great thing about the Internet is that there is pretty much something for every niche and those niches can appeal to millions and millions of people. They're just all scattered around the world. They're just not filtered through a mainstream channel.
There's a lot of room to experiment, but not everything gets heard.
That's true. I thought that was an interesting piece on your site the other day about why aren't podcasts more avant-garde? I thought, "Actually there probably are some that are being quite experimental, but very few people are listening. Because, like with avant-garde music or avant-garde films, it's not that enjoyable." It's quite hard to listen to those sorts of things. I think there are some things that are quite experimental, like Love + Radio. And over here there is a producer named Francesca Panetta who makes these very beautiful soundscape'y type things. She makes podcasts for The Guardian, but she also has a podcast she makes herself and she'll spend eight months on an episode making it perfect. But, generally, people seek out entertainment that is enjoyable.
And what they know. I always think TV is a decent analog for podcasts. If you look back to the 1970s, there were the major networks and a few shows, and everybody watched those shows. They followed a very predictable script. I don't think that's the case in terms of all the podcasts, but I think the platform for the avant-garde shows is much smaller and people are more likely to tune into what they know. That was the point Josh Richmond made, where there is kind of a "This American Life mold" and so many podcasts have followed that. And then listeners feel like, "This must be good, because it's in that mold." I think as podcasting gets bigger and it fractures and there are more networks and a larger audience, some more experimentation will rise to the mainstream.
Yes, absolutely. But, particularly over here, I think we're years behind.
Oh, really?
In England particularly. I think in part it's because we have a lot of good radio. The BBC is pumping out a lot of different stations at a high quality. That means the commercial stations raise their game to compete. This meant for a long time people didn't really seek out podcasts because they didn't have to. People are aware of Serial and that has opened up the audience a bit. When we started Answer Me This, the UK was maybe five years behind America, and I think we have slipped further behind. It also intrigues me how dominated by public radio a lot of American podcasting is. It means there are these incredible producers working. Like with Radiotopia, I was scared they are so good at producing beautiful stuff and I don't know how to do that.
I don't think you give yourself enough credit.
I think people assume there is some central Radiotopia audio factory that all of our shows go through that shapes them. There isn't. It's all separate people with different resources all scattered around. We're joined together by this thing. It's like a club we're all included in. But we're left to do our own thing.
But you must recognize that being brought into it shows a great deal of confidence in your ability.
Oh, yes. I think Roman was instrumental in persuading the rest of them to let me in. They were so keen to bring more diverse voices to podcasting.
When you say diverse voices, do you mean females?
Yes. But the gender balance is not the only thing. Like every media form, podcasting is dominated by straight white men. I think they would like to redress that.
I read a couple of interviews with you where you mentioned that you were very conscious about being a woman in a field dominated by white men. I read one where someone asked you if you were a feminist. You had a very long and articulate response and at the end of it, you sort of said, "Yes, I wouldn't have realized I was a feminist prior to this."
Yes, I wasn't conscious of sexism until I started working in radio.
Yes, it's pretty bad over here. It's ridiculous. I think your radio industry is somewhat more balanced. Sound Women did some research that showed that 1 in 5 presented as female. And behind the scenes a lot of women leave around the age of 35, and a lot of that is because they have been struggling so much and climbing the ladder. At that point, they are like, "Why am I working so hard to do this when they don't even care? I could go do something a bit more rewarding." There are fewer opportunities for women in radio. That's part of why podcasting is great–but I don't actually know that many female podcasters in this country.
Have you firsthand experienced a lot of that sexism or harassment or is it something you're aware of in terms of people's opportunities?
When Olly and I were first starting out with Answer Me This, we would have so many meetings and people didn't know what to do with a male-female duo. Now they are deliberately trying to make more male-female duos because they have to put more women on air. But that just means that they're dumping a female cohost with a man who doesn't really want her there. She is very rarely in the ascendent position. She is almost always a subordinate. That kind of shit is where we are at the moment.
But it also works in my favor because people were just surprised when I was funny or interesting or could talk about tech.
<laughs> Isn't that so upsetting?
It's pathetic, isn't it?
Right. Like, "You have a good personality. How amazing. It goes well with your x-chromosomes."
We got this amazing iTunes review years ago. It was like "I don't usually find women funny, but Helen is just like a man." Way to make a compliment really insulting.
I'm sure you heard the story on This American Life with Lindy West.
Oh yes! That was such a good episode.
That was great, wasn't it? I shouldn't say it was great. It was terrible. Do you follow her on Twitter?
No. But I read her articles.
I started following her after that and I will occasionally see her response to someone who has just said something absolutely horrifying. And I think, "How do you do that day in and day out?" Where your gender is the subject of somebody's wrath.
It's so stupid, isn't it? What year is it? Future generations are going to think we were so stupid for all these imbalances we still have. But, like I said, I've been so lucky. And I think that has a lot to do with the quality of audience we have.
Your Answer Me This podcast is quite popular and quite well known. Do you feel like that makes you a public figure?
We're not actually on the radio that often. When we first started, we weren't on Facebook or Twitter. They were still relatively new. And the reason we had that interactive format for the show was so that we didn't have to think up all the material. That was really serendipitous because it also builds this little community around the show and it keeps listeners coming back to find out if their question was in. Now so many shows have some kind of audience response built in. Even if it's really inappropriate. Like sometimes our news stations will be like, "Text in what you think of this matter that was really important." I'll think to myself, "I'm not sure I want to hear unfiltered public opinion about Syria."
Oh, I know.
But it means for us is that listeners feel like we have a more intimate relationship than we actually do. They'll be really candid and honest with us because they listen to us and they feel like they're in the same room with us. Sometimes people will send us stuff that is so serious. It's so amazing that they'll send strangers emails full of their feelings. That is kind of beautiful.
Sound is so intimate. It can be so much easier to communicate that way. I'm not the first to say this. It's been discussed. But the confessional element of it–even when someone is not confessing, but they are in your ear and you are alone with their voice–can invite a relationship that is certainly one-sided, but you feel nonetheless.
Yeah, absolutely. When people are wearing headphones, you're sort of talking right into their skull. It's not coming from a radio set on the far side of the room. And you're walking around and you're creating this sense memory. I'll remember where I was when I listened to a certain show. Or I'll have been sewing something, and every time I look at that thing, I'll remember what I was listening to to amuse myself while I was doing it. It's a very intimate relationship.
And also because they've chosen it. It's still a bit too protracted of a process to get to listen to a podcast and to find new shows is a bit too difficult. Once you've done it, you've made so many decisions, once you're listening to it and keep listening to it, you're probably really into it. It's not a casual thing.
Do you listen to Strangers?
Yes. I love it.
I was just listening to the new episode. Lea Thau has really transitioned that show in a lot of ways. It's become a lot more first person than it used to be.
I wouldn't have thought I would have liked that, but I do like it. I think it's because of exactly what we're talking about. It's just this relationship. I feel like if I met her on the street, I would be that inappropriate person who would want to talk about her life because I feel like I know her.
To go back to television, I feel like it attempted to create that intimacy at one point with reality TV. But it devolved into, as Alex Blumberg calls it, hate-watching. Where it's just about laughing at someone or judging them. I don't feel like that's present with podcasts. Do you?
When I listened to the "Love Hurts" series on Strangers, I thought, "I could never do this." It's amazing that other people can put themselves on the line like that. I find that so difficult. But I think it's such a wonderful thing. I guess with TV, even if people are being quite candid like they were in the early days of reality TV, by the time it gets to the audience, it's been so distilled and manipulated. With podcasts, it's such a small hierarchy. Usually it's just the podcaster and the listener and there's not much in between. I think the listener is aware of that.
Also, if you're podcasting, most of the time you don't have to do it. So if you're still doing it, it's probably because you feel like you have something to communicate.
I definitely feel like you might not be adopting that confessional style, but there is something about you–and I'm sure I'm not the first person to have said this to you–that's very warm and inviting, and it's very easy to feel like you know you. You just seem like somebody who wants to connect with other people and wants to talk about the world and not just to be nice but to understand it.
Other people are really interesting. I'm familiar with myself. I want to learn about other people. What I love most is conversation. I always want the shows to feel like, if you've just stumbled upon them, you don't feel like there's a club and you're not part of it. I just want to make things that are really accessible and you don't need to bring any prior knowledge about me or the subject.
There are shows that I've had ideas for that have never come to fruition. One of them was like, I'll put on Twitter something like, "I'll be in a particular place for two hours and, if you want to come talk to me, just come and we'll have a conversation. I'll record it and put out the best bits." Everyone has something. I like seeing what you can get out of people without making them feel uncomfortable.
Throughout my life people have told me quite a lot of stuff about themselves without me really prying. When I was 17, I was working at this book shop and people would come in and tell me stuff. This old woman used to come in quite regularly and she would say, "I really hate my children!" Then she would say, "I don't know why I'm telling you this. You just have that kind of face."
You also apparently have that kind of voice.
I'm happy to hear that.

Health roundupMedications used to treat ADHD not only improve short-term concentration for students, but can improve long-term academic performance.
That's what researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered when they followed more than 500 elementary school children from across the U.S. who had been diagnosed with the disorder.
The study, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health and published in the journal Pediatrics, used standardized math and reading test scores to track the children's progress from kindergarten to fifth grade. They then compared their performance to peers who had also been diagnosed with ADHD, but were not medicated.
Those medicated students were found to be several months ahead of those who were not. They made gains in math that equated to about one-fifth of a school year, and gains in reading of about one-third of a school year.
An estimated 4 million children in the U.S. have been diagnosed with ADHD, and about half take medication to help with attention and focus, according to the study. Compared to non-ADHD students, children with the disorder have lower grades and higher drop-out rates. The findings in this study were important, the authors say, because early success in school can improve long-term outcomes for students with ADHD.
However, even medication didn't erase the achievement gap between children with ADHD and those without the disorder. The authors say there needs to be more research on how behavioral interventions and targeted school curriculums—in combination with medication—can improve academic achievement even more.

Columbia's New Audience Road Show
Is it okay to clap every time the symphony stops playing?
New Audience Road Show Video
If you're a seasoned concert-goer, that question may never cross your mind. But if you're a young adult attending your first symphony, that question may pose a dilemma. That's why the Columbia New Audience Road Show is teaming up with the South Carolina Philharmonic, Trustus Theatre, The Nickelodeon, The Power Company (dance), and the Columbia Museum of Art to offer Columbia-area residents ages 23-39 a behind-the-scenes look at what's involved in creating and presenting art for the stage, screen and wall.
New Audience Road Show members will visit each of the participating arts organizations three times. During two of the visits, participants will learn about the art form, from the basics of composition to the mood-altering effects of stage lighting and camera angles. Participants will talk with artists, staff, and board members, try their hand at each art form and take backstage tours. The third visit will include a performance or opening, and each "Roadie," will be encouraged to invite friends and share what they've learned. The Road Show will also have optional visits with groups such as Pocket Productions, Columbia Alternacirque, and anyone and anything else of interest to the group. If you don't know what these organizations are about, you may be an ideal candidate to participate in the Road Show!
What's the catch?
The organizations involved want to attract more young adults to their events, so they want to learn from you as you learn from them. They want to know what you and your peers define as "art," and why you currently attend or don't attend events. The catch is that you must be willing to share your opinion!
What's the cost?
If your application is accepted and you're interested in participating, there will be $50 fee to help pay for your dinners over the course of the program during each behind-the-scenes visit. That's 10 dinners for $50!!
When does the Road Show hit the road?
The program runs from September through February.
Who should apply?
The Road Show is for young adults in the Columbia area, ages 23-39 who are interested in learning more about the arts in Columbia. A "roadie" may have no artistic experience, but just want to know why people bother going to arts events. Other roadies may have played in the high school marching band, but have no understanding of what happens on the stage. The main requirement is not being afraid to learn something new.
Application deadline is August 10, 2012. Applicants will be invited to informal meetings to find out more details about the program.

About Dupo24
- Birthday
Dupo24 replied to Gradius2's topic in Hard Drive and Removable MediaThis is the problem that I have. I have the st31000340as 1tb drive from thailand with original firmware sd15, and it recently failed. However, I have been able to access it via the bios and upgrade firmware sd1a. Now, upon returning to windows, the drive is found, and it shows that I have 499 of 931 free. OK. The problem is when I open it up. It takes a few seconds to spool through and find my folders. After the green bar in the status bar reaches full, the folders appear in Explorer. From there, the drive freezes, i cannot copy the data over. Explorer freezes and then I have to click the x and close program. Is my problem different? I'm thinking if I try to do a level format, all the data will be erased. I run seatools from dos and get fail on all tests because it cannot read the drive. Help?

His wage demands seem to have pi55ed the team off, but I think the Factory should have stepped in giving him a bit of credit for past endevours, and smoothed it over. He deserved more respect..

That video of the lovely couple singing from Jay Leno's Pumpcast News? Likely staged, according to investigative reporting of Monifa and Will Sims' careers.
Widely agreed on subjective observation: The couple that did some spontaneous karaoke on Jay Leno's Pumpcast News that went utterly viral are entirely charming that could have a great career as entertainers. Here are the lovely Will and Monifa Sims, in case you missed them, or just want another round of their delightful singing.
Little known, likely objective fact: Their appearance on Pumpcast News was probably not as spontaneous as it appeared. The Smoking Gun dug into this one, and found some suspect circumstantial evidence:
But speaking of which, there's more: Monifa Sims has been on Pumpcast News before. Two years ago, she appeared as a fitness instructor.
And yet, even though this makes sense for the actors and for Leno, this is kind of a bummer. Spontaneity sells right now, so networks are manufacturing spontaneity, which, by definition, is not spontaneous. Monifa and Will Sims may parlay their fifteen minutes of fame into fifteen years of better acting gigs, and I hope they do, because they're legitimately charming. This revelation does suck the air out of Pumpcast News, however, and makes some of us a little more cynical about big network viral content.

Here at Mount Vernon, children participate in every aspect of our church community. Through Christian education, service projects, outreach opportunities, and fellowship, children learn to love God and love others as God loves them. By working together with their family, we strive to encourage children to:

• Identify their own gifts as we grow in relationship with each other and with God

Deep Blue – Preschool to Grade 5
These lessons are designed to enrich your child's faith as each session builds upon what we experience in worship. Each Sunday children explore the weekly Bible story through interactive activities. Children also participate in service opportunities encouraging them to reach out to others in their community.
11:00 Traditional Worship
Children are encouraged to participate in the 11:00 worship service. If you prefer, child care is available for children up to 1st grade. Children may also be dismissed following the children's time. The children continue to learn about God through Bible stories, crafts and games. Also a snack is provided.
