    FAITH 2.0 GONE GOOD

    Faith Salie joins us to close out our Season 6 in the TALF-iest way possible: We took our very first episode, where she was our very first guest, and gave it a glow up by reediting and remixing it to bring it back to you here and now. We begin with Faith catching us up on her family and life happenings and then we dive back into Episode #1 all pretty and shiny and (kinda) new(ish). Here's the description from the original first episode: CBS Sunday Morning’s Faith Salie joins me to talk the good in protesting. For her family, protesting has gone to a whole new level and it all started when she dared to have a lock installed on her bedroom door. Warning: Do not ever cross an 8 year old and a 6 year old. Faith Salie is the author of ‘Approval Junkie,’ which she’s also taken to the stage as her own one woman show, and she can also be heard on NPR on Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me. On a sidenote, she makes a chocolate Coca-Cola cake that is mind-blowing. Ask her for the recipe. _____________________ SLIDESHOW: IN COLOR! now playing in London.

    SIGNAL & GAIN GONE GOOD

    Joe Beech is not - we repeat NOT - an entrepreneur (per him). He also doesn't like titles and - until recently - wasn't even that fond of his own company's name. What Joe IS is someone who has learned the art of staying open to possibility and embracing a good pivot when it comes his way. He's taking his own experiences and sharing them with college and uni students about to make the leap into their own careers, which technically makes him a mentor - another word he's not that fond of. If you're ready to make a change and take your own leap, this good guest's upfront and truthful thoughts may be just the inspiration you need. And don't forget our 2026 theme: SAY YES. Joe Beech is saying yes. _________________________________ SLIDESHOW: IN COLOR! now playing in London.

    BECOMING ME GONE GOOD

    Sandra Griffiths is a retired nurse turned poet and she's putting herself out there with her first book, Becoming Me. In it, she opens her heart with a powerful collection of poems that trace her journey as a mother, daughter and woman finding her voice through life’s storms. Becoming Me is a tender, soulful reminder that even through pain and change, we are always becoming - stronger, softer and more ourselves. We talk about finding and sharing our voice, putting the personal up front, and how it's never too late to go for your dreams (especially when you have your kids behind you helping and cheering you on). Special thanks to Sarah Cleaver for connecting us with Sandra. _______________ SLIDESHOW: IN COLOR! now playing in London.

    EDINBURGH GONE GOOD - PART 3

    Stacie Burrows has become a regular at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, returning this August for the fourth year in a row. And she's not phoning it in, she's written a brand new, one-person, musical comedy called 'Fool's Goldmine.' All of Stacie's works at the Fringe - and everywhere she performs - are literally who she is because she bases her work on her own true life stories and journey. We talk the good of having confidence, putting yourself out there, and staying present in the moment even when you blank on the next line or song verse. We also discuss what to do when an audience members passes out in the middle of your performance. It's a good time, we tells you. This episode is Part 3 of 3 in a series. _______________________ Sunday July 12 - grab your seat to SLIDESHOW: IN COLOR! now playing in London.

    EDINBURGH GONE GOOD - PART 2

    Rhys Payne sees himself more as a reviewer than a critic. In fact, he sees himself more as a supporter of the arts, theatre specifically, than someone there to point out what he likes and doesn't like. And he's been supporting artists of all kinds and types for a long time through his site Rhys Reviews. We talk the good of not being too hard on ourselves, the importance of sharing - and hearing - other people's stories, and why if it's not fun, we not doin' it no more (that's my American English, not his proper British English). There's a place for everyone in and at the theatre and Rhys is here to prove it. This episode is Part 2 of 3 in a series. _______________________ Sunday July 12 - grab your seat to SLIDESHOW: IN COLOR! now playing in London.
