Songwriters on ProcessCecilia CastlemanIf you see Cecilia Castleman browsing the paint aisle at Home Depot, she’s probably not looking for paint. She’s looking for song ideas. Castleman finds inspiration everywhere, but paint names, she says, are particularly rich sources for song ideas and lyrics. And as you’ll hear, baking cakes and looking at old houses are great sources too. It took me about ten seconds—the first notes of the opening guitar riff—of listening to the opening track “It’s Alright” to realize I was going nowhere for the next 48 minutes. This album is good.

Someone’s In HereEp. 3: Transit AnxietySometimes our bodies surprise us; on rare occasions they do things that we didn’t even think were possible. In Episode 3, we dive into the True (...Poo?) Crime genre and discuss a night when my friend Max's body did something truly mysterious.

MementoGlenn Close, per Àngels Gonyalons: virtuosa de l'autenticitatDes de fa quaranta anys, Glenn Close ha demostrat sobradament la seva valentia a l'hora d'assumir papers ben diferents, tan capaç de fer-nos sentir amb la seva mirada intensa l'astúcia de la marquesa de Merteuil o la dolenteria de Cruella de Vil com l'abnegació de la protagonista de "The wife", Joan Castleman. Per aquest últim paper va ser nominada per setena vegada a l'Oscar. És l'actriu que acumula més nominacions sense haver guanyat el premi. Avui homenatgem Glenn Close com es mereix ajudats per Àngels Gonyalons, que aquests dies és al Teatre Goya representant "La dona del 600". I, aprofita...

EdNext PodcastEp. 44 - July 20, 2016: Summer Melt — Why College-Bound Kids Don’t End Up in College & How to HelpAt least ten percent of students who graduate from high school and plan on going to college never show up on campus in the fall, a phenomenon called "summer melt."
Ben Castleman of the University of Virginia has studied the causes of summer melt and is testing some innovative interventions to help get at-risk students to college. He finds that connecting students with people and resources to help them manage the paperwork for financial aid, student loans, health insurance, and housing can make all the difference in getting from graduation to orientation.
