    Shelby Lynne visits World Cafe this week. The Alabama singer-songwriter has been a favorite on the Cafe since she won the Best New Artist Grammy over a decade ago. Revelation Road is Lynne's most personal album yet, as it deals with her parents' murder-suicide when she and her sister, Allison Moorer, were teenagers, but also because she produced and played all the instruments on it. In this interview, Lynne talks about the record title's religious implications and the inspiration behind some of her songs and plays live for us today.

    One hundred years ago, on January 17th, 1912, Captain Robert Falcon Scott's five-man team reached the South Pole: only to find Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had beaten them to it more than a month earlier. Scott's ill-fated expedition is the stuff of legend. This week's Litopia After Dark has two legendary guests: Dr. Huw Lewis-Jones, formerly Curator of Art at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, and Kari Herbert, daughter of polar explorer, Sir Wally Herbert. Kari spent the first few years of her life living on a remote island in the Arctic with the Polar Inuit…

Think about Google unilaterally grabbing eBook rights. Or consider Amazon giving away our eBooks. You get the picture. Apple, however, are going beyond all that with their educational product launch today. They're aiming to own education.

Perhaps you'd like the ultimate rave review from a legendary author such as Stephen King, along these lines: "this one gets the writer's ultimate bit of praise: I wish I had written it". That's exactly what happened to our guest Erin Kelly tonight; her first novel The Poison Tree found its way onto Mr. King's desk, and that is what the great master wrote.

    His origins were humble; a working-class boy from a small military town in northern Sweden, not far from the Arctic Circle. Today, he is one of the most influential figures in the world of literature, because Peter Englund is Permanent Secretary to the Swedish Academy, the body that awards the Nobel Prize in Literature. For someone who has within his power the making or breaking of international writing careers, Peter, as you'll hear, is remarkably unassuming. Perhaps one reason for this is that he's still a writer himself; he understands the writing process profoundly, and his own books have…

  • BOTNS Podcast #163: You Did WHAT to a Book?

    comments@booksonthenightstand.com (Books on the Nightstand)
    17 Jan 2012 | 8:01 pm
    Should you trust author blurbs? What are your thoughts on destroying a book for the sake of art? We share our love of The Art of Hearing Heartbeats by Jan-Philipp Sendker and The Thorn and the Blossom by Theodora Goss. The Value of a Blurb Betsy in our Goodreads Group asked whether or not she should trust author blurbs. Do the authors actually read the books then write those recommendations? The short answer is yes. In our opinion, and from what we’ve seen on the “inside,” we think you can trust the majority of blurbs. When you should most pay attention is when an author you…

    Resolving to carve out more reading time. Who should be our Literary Ambassador and what should that job entail? Two books we can’t wait for you to read: Enjoy Every Sandwich by Lee Lipsenthal and The Family Fang by Kevin Wilson. Step Away from the Screen My amazingly wonderful wife surprised my with an iPad for Christmas. It’s fantastic and and I love it, but I’ve been spending a lot of time on it and my reading time has suffered. So I’ve made a resolution to unplug from all media two hours before bed.

  • 2 Reasons Why DNDNext is Perplexing

    David
    26 Jan 2012 | 2:42 pm
    So, if you’re like me and even somewhat active on social media, you’ve seen the announcements about the DNDNext. They haven’t come out and said that it’s 5th edition,specifically calling it “the next iteration of D&D” 1, but 5th ed is the logical, unspoken conclusion. The announcement came as somewhat of a shock to the community – and not because WotC is working on a new edition. We’ve all expected the new release with the lifecycle of Dungeons and Dragons becoming shorter and shorter. OD&D was released in 1974, AD&D was released…

    How long has this been going on? I do not know since when, but this morning I suddenly noticed that the BBC has opened up the entire In Our Time archive for podcast. I used to write that one should always download the In Our Time podcasts and keep for ever. The BBC used to keep only the last episode in the feed. In case one had not kept the episode, the only option to listen was to go to the on-line archive and listen while streaming. While that has become less and less of a bother with WiFi all around and capable smartphones, it still was a pity you had no option. All of this now belongs to…

What showed up in the podcast feed of In Our Time (with Melvyn Bragg) and consequently disappeared, has now been published as an independent podcast: Written World with Melvyn Bragg (feed). As I reported in the past days about this series, I got a comment from reader Richard Walker, to point out that this podcast had been spawned from In Our Time. Thanks Richard.

    4 Jan 2012 | 3:35 am
    Also in 2012 I will be on a prolonged break for the blog. 2011 has been a very busy year, simply too busy to engage in blogging. What has contributed to that, among others, is the fact that I have changed jobs twice. However, I have not stopped listening to podcasts and so let's have a couple of recommendations from my playlists. The first is In Our Time, which has started a five part series about the human invention of writing and how writing and its innovations have had a fundamental impact on human history. Subscribe to In Our Time's feed and look for the episodes about The Written World.

    Dear Readers, Here is to tell you I am still on my break. It is a relief to be exempt from the pressure of posting every day. It is also a relief to be listening fewer podcasts and only those that I feel like listening to and not all those that I have to get a bite of in order to be able to write about them. The blogging and the listening had begun to resemble a job rather than a hobby. If it were a job, I'd do it with pleasure and ten times better than I ever did. But it is not and to have to squeeze it in with a real job and family life, while the blog was becoming more and more demanding…

How the Heck Do I Do That?: Since we’re talking about niche research, rather than offer an HTH feature, Traci shares (5) helpful tools to help you keep a pulse on what’s hot, and stay ahead of the trends.

How the Heck Do I Do That?: This week’s HTH feature ties in nicely with our theme of streamlining and working…

  • Determining your real tolerance to risk, investing better - with Aaron Klein

    15 Jan 2012 | 4:34 am
    Risk is such a hard thing to define for investors. Simple questionnaires advisors use don't capture our real risk. Get risk wrong and the portfolio is wrong -- sometimes with disastrous results.

Instead of relying upon simple, pat, theoretical questions, Riskalyze really tries to determine how investors make decisions under uncertainty. With a proper risk assessment in hand,…

  • Earthquake!!!...I told you not to call me here.

    5 Nov 2011 | 11:11 pm
    So we just had a tiny earthquake here.  I thought I was feeling my pulse through my back or a dog was scratching himself against my chair. Turns out the earth was moving. If James hadn't said something I probably would have dismissed it but he felt it too, and plants and hanging things were swaying ever so slightly with no fans or air conditioning to move them.  Mom said she possibly felt something in Carrollton about 26 miles away while she was in the bathroom.  I told her that may not have been the earthquake.....   Weird.
