Ep: 1830 Lena Fein - Shattering the Mirror
Feb 1100:24:19Tap to summarizeLena Fein was raised in madness by a violent and controlling mother, obsessed with household cleanliness and the beauty of her porcelain dolls. To survive, she perfected the art of dissociation, racing through school with straight A's, becoming a top producer at a high-tech company, and clicking through two marriages without ever slowing down long enough to fully experience life. At fifty-one, she looks into the eyes of her dying mother, and her warped mirror finally shatters. She begins to experience life in a new way. She learns to feel and forgive, shedding her armor and embracing life. Her story is a testament that healing is possible at any age — and that wholeness is priceless. Lena is an UC Berkeley engineering graduate and a philanthropist based in San Francisco.

Jan 10, 2024Tap to summarizeKathryn interviews Author Cory Doctorow.It's thirty years from now. We're making progress, mitigating climate change, slowly but surely. But what about all the angry old people who can't let go. For young Americans a generation from now, climate change isn't controversial. It's just an overwhelming fact of life. And so are the great efforts to contain and mitigate it. Even when national politics oscillates back to right-wing leaders, the momentum is too great, these vast programs cannot be stopped. But there are still those Americans, mostly elderly, who cling to their red baseball caps, their grievances, their huge vehicles, their anger and to their alternative news sources that reassure them that their resentment is right and pure and that climate change is just a giant scam. Author Cory Doctorow is an activist and journalist who was recently inducted into the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame.Kathryn also interviews Author Barney Saltzberg.Going from two eyes to four isn't a bummer!

Barney Saltzberg shows kids the amazing powers of glasses in this treasure of a book. Inspired by his own canine companion, every child in glasses will know just how Arlo feels and will feel better because of it. Readers will follow along with Arlo as he does all the big firsts involved in getting glasses—visit a doctor, get tested on an eye chart, look through the phoropter. And then the fun part—choosing frames! What should Arlo get? Movie star glasses? Superhero glasses? Classic frames that never go out of style? Saltzberg has written tunes for the PBS show Arthur and continues to perform music for children.
