    S1 EP3: The Weight of Silence -Autism, Motherhood, and Art with Heather Cadenhead

    When Heather's son Milo was a little behind on milestones, she tried not to worry. Boys often take longer, she would reassure herself. But eventually the markers became impossible to ignore. Heather takes us behind the scenes into her son's autism diagnosis and what it's like today, parenting a non-verbal teenager. Heather is vulnerable, raw, and honest about her life's challenges as well as its joys. She finds rest in her faith as well as writing and art. A profoundly important episode to remind us how we can value (and listen to) silence.  ----- Bonus question with Heather for paid subscribers!

    S1 EP2: On Aslan's Side: Fighting the Good Fight with Haley Stewart

    Why are we so ready to believe the tragedy? Why do sad things seem truer, more real? Is believing in miracles, or believing in God, just a delusion to get us through the day? How can good stories keep us rooted in truth and goodness, even when faced with real tragedy? These and so many other questions will guide our conversation today. Haley Stewart - children's book editor, writer, mother, traveler - discusses belief, Hope, and staying on Aslan's side. Tune in now!

    S1 EP1: Shakespeare Needs Us: Interview with Beth Charlebois

    "We don't need Shakespeare, Shakespeare needs us!" Shakespeare is demanding: There are so many versions, so many interpretations, so many questions. He is always in flux, and this has sometimes made us uncomfortable. Shakespeare scholar Beth Charlebois takes into the history of the Bard - who he was, his motivations, the tumultuous reality of Early Modern England, as well as his (possibly) secret Catholicism (or at least his sacramental worldview). We'll also discuss the pivotal scene from the Winter's Tale and the concept of jealousy in Shakespeare's plays as well as how Art and Shakespeare in particular can truly change lives and reassert our humanity. This is an extremely rich episode and is going to give you so much to think about! So many thanks to Beth for coming on the show.   -- Beth Charlebois is Professor of English, Emerita at St. Mary's College of Maryland where she taught Shakespeare and Renaissance drama and literature for 23 years.  She received her BA and MA from Georgetown University and her Ph.D. from Northwestern University.     Her early scholarly work was largely devoted to examining the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries through an historical lens, but for decades she has been most keenly interested in how performance shapes the meaning and interpretation of the plays and how teaching Shakespeare with performance at the forefront encourages students to understand the plays as living and breathing works of art that can take on new meanings on the stage that speak to our own times.     Wanting to broaden her horizons and the ways that Shakespeare can be made relevant today, she devoted three sabbatical projects teaching Shakespeare in prison as Scholar in Residence for St. Louis based Prison Performing Arts. ---- Find Katie on Substack: https://bornofwonder.substack.com/ Find Katie online: www.katiemarquette.com
