Name: SCWW Ep. 0002: When you reach your limits, laugh and keep going by Erik van Mechelen - Essays and Fiction
Duration: 7 min 2 s
Description: Find a motivational phrase or metaphor to push yourself beyond your limits.

OK so this one is bit of an oldie from 2010.. But if you haven't heard it it's new to you.

I'd just gotten Symphobia, Tonehammer's (now 8DIO) Epic Dhol and Bamboo sample libraries and was taking them for a spin. I also may have had just seen Avatar at the time.

There's more to the song, but I never got around to finishing it... bummer!

Liberty’s Dim Light: Book Review of China Miéville’s “October: The Story of the Russian Revolution” and “Iron Council”

China Miéville holds a Ph.D. (2001) in International Relations from the London School of Economics, is a member of the socialist democratic party in England, and the founding editor of Salvage, a quarterly of revolutionary arts and letters. He wrote ‘Between Equal Rights: A Marxist Theory of International Law’, but is perhaps best known as an author of fiction, where for his novels he has won among other awards the Arthur C.

Is there such a thing as a conservative intellectual? In the inaugural episode of Rather Be Reading, The Point Magazine podcast, we discuss  the "What Happened to the Public Intellectual?" panel that we attended during the Brooklyn Book Festival and why there is resistance to the notion that conservative intellectuals exist. Plus, a "Charitable Reading" segment on why lefties despise David Brooks (featuring famous Brooks hater Jake Bittle) and a bit where we check in with Jon's mom.

Editors: Jon Baskin, Anastasia Berg & Rachel Wiseman
Guests: Jake Bittle, Judy Wise

Rather Be Reading, Episode 1: Conservative Intellectuals

Every week, I write essays about the most important books I'm reading. As a science fiction writer, I also like to ask What if? as a start to short fiction and novels.
