Imagine it's 2017. You've been given the task of running a presidential campaign for 2020. Your candidate has no previous political experience and zero name recognition with the public. You must get them on stage at the first Democratic primary debate on June 27th, 2019. Not only that, you have to get them to the debates 6 more times, so that they're one of only seven candidates left on stage in a race that will ultimately field 29 contenders. Helluva long shot, right? But former presidential campaign manager Zach Graumann did exactly that, and wrote a behind-the-scenes book that serves as a how-to guide for tomorrow's hopefuls looking to bet against the odds.Longshot: How Political Nobodies Took Andrew Yang National--and the New Playbook That Let Us Build a Movement - Zach Graumann"My first move was not to run for president of the United States, because I am not insane." - Andrew Yang, 2019SuitUpYoung StorytellersThe War on Normal People: The Truth About America's Disappearing Jobs and Why Universal Basic Income Is Our Future - Andrew YangVenture for AmericaMaking Movies - Sidney LumetThe Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Parents are Going Broke - Elizabeth Warren"I'm a Staunch Republican...

When was the last time you got a little bit wild? Stayed out later than you should have, drank a bit too much, made out with an absolute stranger or did a ton of illicit drugs and trespassed on federal property? "Wild" is subjective, and comedian Rocky Powell hosts a podcast that invites guests to define the word however they see fit - with outrageous, scandalous, ridiculous, and even poignant results.Wild Nights with Rocky PowellHowie Mandel Meets the Family - Take Your Shoes Off Podcast"I can talk to all of you, but I can't talk to any of you." - Jerry Before SeinfeldEpisode 1: Rich Templeton - Wild Nights with Rocky PowellEpisode 8: Andrea Allan - Wild Nights with Rocky PowellRocky Powell Gets The Shakes When The Bong Hit Takes - The Hot Mess Comedy Hour"The Rocky Rundown: Valentine's Day" - Wild Nights with Rocky Powell (Timestamped)Follow Rocky on Instagram: @wildnightswithrockyFollow Rocky on Twitter: @WildNightsPod----------Email: wherewegopod@gmail.comInstagram: @wwgnpodcast

Have you ever wondered why the decisions you make keep leaving you unfulfilled? How you'll doggedly pursue something - a career, a relationship, some Big Life Goal - and once you've finally got it, you find yourself underwhelmed? Like you keep aiming your bow at a target, but even when you hit dead center it still feels like you missed. You're not alone. Author Luke Burgis provides insight into why our wants so often lead us astray, and how we may harness that knowledge to desire differently.Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life, by Luke Burgislukeburgis.comWhat is Mimetic Theory?

"Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." That works well enough as a piece of proverbial wisdom, but global seafood consumption today is roughly 160 million tons per year. So ensuring that our global fish populations remain sustainable into the future isn't some leisurely thought experiment, it's a pressing issue to be solved. And that doesn't even address other troubling factors affecting this ecosystem, like harmful micro-plastics and mercury. But what if we could harvest fish without fisheries? What if we could make real, authentic, delicious salmon... from stem cells? Justin Kolbeck is the cofounder of Wildtype, a company on a mission to create the cleanest, most sustainable seafood on the planet - inside of a high-tech lab in San Francisco.Wildtype: The Future of SeafoodCould Lab-Grown Salmon Be The Future Of Fish? - Science InsiderMark Post: First to Present a Proof of Concept for Cultured Meat - WikipediaHow Your Brain Makes You Think Expensive Wine Tastes Better - Psychology TodayGood Meat - Cultured Meat Legally Sold in Singapore TodayGolden Rice - WikipediaThe Golden Rice ProjectSteve Jobs' 2007 iPhone Keynote - YouTubeFollow Wildtype on Instagram: @wildtypefoods----------Email: wherewegopod@gmail.comInstagram: @wwgnpodcast

An artist's work - autobiographical or not - is a reflection of where they are in their life at any given moment. And so over time the collection becomes a kind of map, that traces the twists and curves of an ever-evolving through-line of inspiration and introspection. Musician Joe Sumner takes a brief break from his tour to reflect on his music career, and the interwoven intersections of his life and his art.Smells Like Teen Spirit, by Nirvana - YouTubeHeavier Than Heaven: A Biography of Kurt Cobain, by Charles R.

The world of comics is as vast as it is diverse. From colorful, fanciful stories geared toward children to gritty, realistic artwork crafted for more a mature crowd, if it can be drawn, there's an audience for it. But what motivates an artist to pursue a particular style or genre? To put it another way: What draws them to it? Comic artist Barry Deutsch shares how he became passionate about cartooning, and why he creates comics about communities that are often overlooked and underserved.Lefty Cartoons, by Barry DeutschHereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword, by Barry DeutschHereville: How Mirka Met a Meteorite, by Barry DeutschHereville: How Mirka Caught a Fish, by Barry DeutschSuperButch, by Barry Deutsch & Becky HawkinsPogo (comic strip) - WikipediaMaking Movies, by Sidney Lumet“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me." - Ira GlassWill Eisner - WikipediaThe Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, by Michael ChabonA Contract with God, by Will EisnerMake 'Em Laugh, by Donald O'Connor from Singin' in the RainUnderstanding Comics: The Invisible Art, by Scott McCloudCarl Barks - WikipediaJaime Hernandez - WikipediaChester Brown - WikipediaIn the Blink of an Eye: A Perspective on Film Editing, by Walter MurchHoly Days: The World Of The Hasidic Family, by Lis HarrisRobert Rodriguez Had to Push Dimension for ‘Spy Kids’ Family to Be Latino - IndieWireLove and Rockets, by Jaime, Mario & Gilbert HernandezUsagi Yojimbo, by Stan SakaiSmile, by Raina TelgemeierBoots of Leather, Slippers of Gold: The History of a Lesbian Community, by Elizabeth Lapovsky Kennedy & Madeline D.
