I recorded this a couple of years back. I've made it a tradition to repost every September 11th in memorial to all those people who lost their lives that day. Never take your present moment for granted.

By most accounts, today's guest is considered to be America's Writing Coach, Roy Peter Clark!
For more than three decades, Clark has taught writing at the Poynter Institute, a school for journalists in St. Petersburg, Florida, considered among the most prominent such teaching institutions in the world. He graduated from Providence College with a degree in English and earned his PhD from Stony Brook University.
We discuss the current and future employability of writers, as well as many of his seminal works, like Writing Tools: 55 Essential Strategies for Every Writer. We talk about some of my favorite strategies from that book: cut big, then small, fear not the long sentence, vary paragraph length, and order words for emphasis. We also discuss his forthcoming book about writing college essays.
Writers don't want to miss this one!

Today's guest is both a lawyer and a true crime writer. Meet Doug Kari, the man who exposed The Berman Murders — the story of Barry Berman, heir to the Kahlua fortune, and his wife Louise — who went missing in 1986 in Saline Valley, a popular Mojave Desert draw for nudists and eccentrics.
Doug brings a lend of scholarly research and good old-fashioned storytelling to his writing. He believes in immersive investigation, which has led him to lay inside the grave of a murder victim to envision the carnage that befell them moments before death. He’s scoured remote corners of Death Valley and uncovered key clues that authorities ignored in a missing persons case. And he’s stood alongside Mexican migrant refugee children to understand the peril they face in squalid encampments.
Enjoy this discussion about true crime journalism and its seemingly endless public interest and popularity.

Recently I was on Instagram using Meta AI, which is better than ChatGPT 3.5 in my opinion. I tried to Google what the top ten questions about marriage were, but could not find what I was looking for. So I asked Meta AI and it gave me ten common questions about marriage that singles and engaged couples might have before tying the knot.
Enjoy my wife and I discussing candidly about our marriage and the institution in general. We talk about communication, conflict resolution, sex, finances, religious differences, age differences, and some stuff Jordan Peterson says. No, we're not his groupies. But we did attend his We Who Wrestle With God book tour in Nashville recently, so he's been in our conversations.
We also talk about our good friend, Melissa Llarena. Here's a link to her awesome podcast Unimaginable Wellness.
We end our discussion with a couple of articles about marriage from Harvard and Fortune.
