Nouveau Retro (What's Old Is New Again)

You Don't Know Me

Host Meg Wolitzer presents four stories about journeys, both physical and emotional.  Strangers size one another up on a busy city bus in Kurt Vonnegut’s “City,” performed by Bhavesh Patel and Sarah Steele. An excerpt from James Baldwin’s Another Country takes us on a frantic subway ride towards an ultimate moment. It is performed by Nathan Hinton.  Hopeful immigrants try to reach America in a dubious boat in “The Long Voyage,” by Leonardo Sciascia, performed by John Turturro.  And a man in transit takes the opportunity to try to recover a bit of his past, in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “Three Hours Between Planes,” performed by Stephen Colbert.

Coming and Going

From the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature, a sweeping, multi-generational saga of displacement, loss, and love, set against the brutal colonization of east Africa.

When he was just a boy, Ilyas was stolen from his parents on the coast of east Africa by German colonial troops. After years away, fighting against his own people, he returns home to find his parents gone and his sister, Afiya, abandoned into de facto slavery. Hamza, too, returns home from the war, scarred in body and soul and with nothing but the clothes on his back--until he meets the beautiful, undaunted Afiya. As these young people live and work and fall in love, their fates knotted ever more tightly together, the shadow of a new war on another continent falls over them, threatening once again to carry them away.

Author, experienced beekeeper, and apiary expect James E. Tew explains 100 common problems faced by beekeepers, clearly spelling out their underlying causes and how to solve all of them.

Beekeeping requires understanding, commitment, and attention to detail. Laying the groundwork for a successful hive is essential, and demands a keen appreciation of critical areas like hive management, breed choice, and health requirements.

Bees often disguise problems, though, making recognizing trouble in the crucial, initial stages that much more difficult. Whether you’re a newcomer or an old hand, The Beekeeper’s Problem Solver provides the information you need to nip problems in the bud, or avoid them in the first place.

Each beekeeping problem is tackled in depth, covering a wide range of practical tips and useful insights. The problems are conveniently organized into the following categories:

Beekeeping Basics – My new bees arrived during a cool, rainy period. …
Beekeeping Equipment – The beehive smoker will not stay lit. …
Biology and Behavior of the Colony – There are many dead drones at the hive entrance. …
Managing and Manipulating Hives – The brood nest has been built across multiple boxes. …
Queen Production and Maintenance – The queen is not a good egg producer. …
Diseases and Pests of Honey Bees – Varroa mites have overrun the colony. …
Pollen and Pollination – Too few bees are pollinating the target crop. …
Producing and Processing Honey – The honey filter keeps getting clogged. …
Beeswax, Propolis, and Specialty Issues – Propolis is difficult to gather and process. …

Don’t lose your hive to something preventable, just use this problem solver!

The Beekeeper's Problem Solver by James E. Tew Read by Chuck Constant - Audiobook Excerpt

Scenes from My Life by Michael K. Williams with Jon Sternfeld, read by Dion Graham

If you're someone who's a decade or two out from your high school graduation, do you ever find yourself thinking that you're just not as happy as you were back then? Of course all the positive-thinking self-talk then kicks in and you think, "Well, maybe I actually wasn't that happy before. I do like my life better now. I like the independence I have. Yeah, yeah, I really like being an adult." Yet, no matter the glass-half-full glow you try to put on things, you can't shake the feeling that your happiness has declined over the years, that at 30, you weren't as happy as you were at 20, and that at 40, you weren't as happy as you were when you were 30.

Well, that feeling is more than a nostalgic hunch, and it's not unique to you. It's actually been born out by hundreds of research papers and studies and shown to be a near-universal experience. My guest today has authored many of those papers. His name is Dr. David Branchflower and he's a labor economist who not only studies the data around money and jobs, but also around human happiness. Today on the show David explains how happiness follows a U-shaped curve, and starts declining around age 18, and continues to fall into midlife, before picking back up again, and David shares the average age at which happiness hits its very lowest point. While it's not entirely clear why the U-shape of happiness occurs, we talk about some possible reasons behind it. And while the U-shape is consistent across the world, it can be lower or higher, and so we discuss how factors like gender, socio-economic and martial status, and having children affect happiness, and whether it's possible to mitigate the dip.

While the fact that it won't be until your mid-60s that you feel as happy as you were at age 18 might seem depressing, David argues that it's comforting to know that the feelings of declining happiness you experience at you approach midlife are normal, and will not only pass one day, but start moving in the other direction.

#795: The U-Shaped Curve of Happiness

Set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings," The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power takes viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin and the unlikely heroes of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth were tested. We're here to dive into the libraries of Numenor to break it down for all of you.

427: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Have you ever felt adrift and alone after losing a job, a dream, a loved one, or your sense of purpose in life? In The God Who Stays, Matthew West uses stories and Scripture to encourage you that wherever you are and whatever you’re going through, God is right by your side—and nothing can separate you from His love and grace. 

Through the dramatic events of 2020 and the ensuing uncertainty and anxiety ever since, people’s lives and illusions of security have been turned upside down. Whenever our plans, hopes, and dreams are put on hold—or worse, lost forever—we feel discouraged, lost, and isolated, and desperately praying, “God, where are You?”

Matthew West’s newest book, The God Who Stays, is an engaging and thoughtful exploration, balanced with his trademark wit and humor, that helps us reconnect to the biblical truth of Immanuel—"God with us"—a personal Savior who never leaves our side and who always answers when we cry out for help. 

The God Who Stays contains:

An exploration of the character of the God who faithfully travels with us through every season of our life
Encouragement in a time of isolation and anxiety that many have been experiencing
Personal stories, experiences, and discoveries from Matthew’s own faith journey
In his most personal book yet, join Matthew on a spiritual journey of rediscovery and revival inspired by the words of his hit song “The God Who Stays”. Renew your faith and find rest and healing through biblical truth.
