Viajamos hasta Ecuador a conversar con Janeth Toledo y Maríaluz Albujas Bayas sobre la editorial y colectivo Bichito y su colección Mantis de poesía escrita por mujeres. Esta colección de poesía fue propuesta por la escritora Marialuz Albuja Bayas, como resultado del Premio Nacional IFCI (Instituto de Fomento a la Creatividad e Innovación) para colecciones de poesía. Ellas dicen que en "Deriva" se recoge literatura por escritoras que viven en un vacío generacional y quedan entre una generación y otra sin lograr una difusión mayor, "es como estar a la deriva". Los libors que integran este esfuerzo son: Autorretrato, Maríaluz Albuja Bayas (Bichito editores, 2023), Casa de mariposas negras, Rocío Soria (Bichito editores, 2023), Cola de reptil, Sandra De La Torre Guarderas (Bichito editores, 2023), Gotea, Ángeles Martínez Donoso (Bichito editores, 2023), Lugares rotos, Janeth Toledo (Bichito editores, 2023).

"Shadows" dives deep into the experience of isolation and inner turmoil. The recurring imagery of turbulent waters and hidden shadows reflects the chaotic state of the mind, where memories, ideas, and emotions swirl like a storm. The song paints a picture of someone retreating into their own world, away from the noise and pressures of the outside, seeking stillness and quiet in the midst of mental chaos. There's a sense of being utterly alone, yet in that solitude, new visions and thoughts emerge, giving the feeling that even in the darkest corners of the mind, there's space for growth and introspection. Fans of artists like Radiohead, Portishead, and Nick Cave will resonate with the powerful struggle with inner demons while also hinting at the potential for clarity and peace.

Cease the waters, still the tide
In hidden corners where shadows hide
Utterly alone, the silent world that's my own
Memories and ideas, nothing else shown
New visions have taken form
The raging sea - my mind a storm
Cease the boiling waters, push the rumbling waves
Part the masses of clouds, hide in dark caves
Away from the world, hidden behind
Shadows that lurk in the corners of my mind
Cease the waters, still the tide
In hidden corners where shadows hide
Alone in the echoes of my own
A silent world where seeds are sown
Memories and ideas, a tale unknown
In the stormy sea where I'm alone
Utterly alone, the silent world that's my own
Memories and ideas, nothing else shown
New visions have taken form
The raging sea - my mind a storm
Cease the waters, still the tide
In hidden corners where shadows hide

"Shadows" Written and Performed by Northern Sky

Shadows

Cuando Marisol Vera fundó en 1984 la editorial Cuarto Propio, la escena literaria era muy diferente a lo que vemos hoy en día. En ese tiempo publicar un libro, especialmente un libro por una escritora, difundirlo y hacerlo visible era un reto enorme. El trabajo de editoras como ella es el que pavimentó un camino que ahora nos parece fácil de transitar por eso es importante saber de esa trayectoria. Economista de profesión, decide fundar la editorial en Santiago de Chile como una resistencia feminista en contra de la dictadura. Cuenta en su catálogo a escritores como Pedro Lemebel, Diamela Eltit y Nelly Richards. La editorial fue parte del primer Congreso Internacional de Literatura Femenina Latinoamericana de 1987 y publican el libro de congreso. Hoy es una de las más importantes plataformas que promueve la bibliodiversidad. Es un honor enorme tenerla en este proyecto y reconocer lo mucho que ha hecho por la literatura. La poeta Carmen Berenguer es su gran aliada a quien tiene publicada en la editorial. Marisol Vera trabaja arduamente para restablecer el espacio cultural de Chile con el mundo, que se había cancelado por años por la dictadura. Ella es la que idea el proyecto "Democraticemos la lectura" que vendían libros muy económicos en todos los quioscos y que revolucionó la literatura en Chile. Su historia es la de un esfuerzo para abrir un diálogo a nivel continental.

Russell Baker is my buddy from down under.

We connected a couple of years ago, he’s been on the show before and I’ve been a guest on his podcast (“New Ways”).

He’s my guy when I have questions about tech, social media, website, AI and more. When I needed a new website, logo and branding, he’s the one I messaged and thanks to him and his design studio, A Modern Remedy, theinsightpodcast.com is alive and kicking with a back catalogue of all my episodes, searchable by topic and guest!

Today’s episode is all about the changes and events we're seeing on social media, at Google and the future of AI.

I talk to Russell about:

- The recent exodus of users from Twitter and the roles of Trump and Musk

- The history and makeup of Bluesky and why users are increasing

- His predictions for social media in 2025

- Why you need to know about the breakup of Google and how it could affect you

- Why he thinks we need to be wary of the rise of AI

- Ways to protect your data, privacy and, more importantly, your creativity and authenticity in the modern age

- & much more

Best of 2024 with Editors

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'The best rom-com I have read this year'
This love story is a work in progress… 

 When romcom author Allie Edwards crosses paths with bestselling crime novelist – aka publishing dinosaur – Martin Clark at a party, they discover they both have crippling writer’s block, overdue manuscripts and precisely zero words to show to their respective editors.

With deadlines looming, Allie and Martin decide to switch plots and tell each other’s stories. In the writing process, Allie not only gains a father-figure in Martin, but also meets gorgeous events caterer Will, the answer to the leading man-shaped hole in her life and her lack of spicy material.

Caught between love and her career, what could possibly go wrong?

Readers LOVE Eleanor Goymer:

The Warm Up (III)

mellow and melancholic, bridging the gap between New Order and Editors

lyrics:

the door closes one last time
your shadow recedes behind the glass
no sound in the hallway
there's a void you've left behind
the silence descended fast
there's nothing left to say

only silence now
no more words
any speaking now
is wasted syllables
no more words

now I feel so small in this empty space
the warmth sucked out
a wetness on my face
though I knew the end was drawing near
it's this loneliness
that I truly fear

only silence now
no more words
any speaking now
is wasted syllables
no more words

(only silence now)

only silence now
no more words
any speaking now
is wasted syllables
no more words

No more words (words)

Northern Sky is a Detroit/London-based collaborative formed in 2021, crafting ethereal music that blends dreamy soundscapes with cinematic depth. Their music strikes a delicate balance between melody, emotion, and magic, influenced by timeless artists like Nick Drake and Norah Jones, as well as modern acts such as Beach House and The National.

At the heart of Northern Sky is Rose White, whose voice, like a soft breeze at twilight, guides the band’s sound with transcendent beauty. Supported by Eric Stajda, Dan Kendall, Steve Baker, and Andrea Di Fiore—who weave intricate layers of guitar, bass, drums, piano, synth, cello, and violin—the band creates soundscapes that are both fragile and infinite.

Northern Sky’s songs are vignettes, like postcards from distant places, carrying echoes of fleeting yet eternal memories. Tracks like "Paper Flowers," "Swimming in the Rain," and "Aurora" explore love, loss, and the bittersweet passage of time. Their music reflects the profound beauty found in life’s quietest moments, drawing inspiration from films that capture the magic in the everyday—Cinema Paradiso, Stolen Kisses, Sleepless Night in Paris, and Before Sunrise.

Northern Sky invites listeners to step into a world where music is not just heard, but felt deeply, offering a soundtrack for introspection, inspiration, and everything in between.
