Young Josip's idyllic mountain village is torn apart by the tides of war. Within his soul, innocence wrestles with devastation, and the echoes of a shattered world ignite a spark of unyielding hope. Josip's journey is a visceral odyssey that grips your heart and dares you to look away as his journey begins to unfold against a backdrop of chaos and courage. In this episode of the #BecomeFire Podcast, we dive into part one of The Island of the World by Michael O'Brien.

The Island of the World (Part I) - Become Fire Podcast S2. Ep #7

This week's featured story comes from the Martin & Sylvia collection.
It's called "Fairy Snow Fort."

This week Sylvia wakes with a plan to build a "Fairy Snow Fort," a structure that looks a lot like an igloo with one very important distinction. The whole family helps build the fort together, working steadily all day, and culminates with a star-lit dinner within. This is a story of collaboration and the joys of a full family project.

125. Governesses!

Since 1933, the Australian Women’s Weekly has been Australia’s highest-selling women’s magazine. And from birthday cakes to barbecues, the Weekly taught generations of Australians what to eat and how to cook it at home. 

Drawing on recipes, food editorials and readers’ memories, Lauren Samuelsson’s A Matter of Taste: The Australian Women’s Weekly & Its Influence on Australian Food Culture is a celebration of the Weekly’s essential role in the development of Australian food culture. 

On this deliciously nostalgic episode of Gleetalks, Lauren talks to historian Professor Michelle Arrow about how the Weekly encouraged us to be adventurous, to experiment in the kitchen, and to try new ingredients and flavours, stimulating an eclectic, Australian way of eating which is still reflected on our tables today.

University of Minnesota Press, est. 1925, turns 100 this year. Yes, we are twice as old as Saturday Night Live. And just as old as The New Yorker and The Great Gatsby. The Press has had only five directors in its history, and many current staff have been on for more than a few decades.

How about another serendipitous milestone: this podcast, est. 2020, is releasing its 100th episode right here, right now. The past 99 episodes have focused on our authors. Between authorship and publication, a book passes through more than a few hands, and today we are getting into it with people who have dedicated their days, years, and decades in service of books and research. About half of our staff are represented here. Without further adieu, come meet (half of) the Press!

Douglas Armato, director of University of Minnesota Press
Susan Doerr, associate director
Emily Hamilton, associate director for book publishing
Laura Westlund, managing editor and development officer
