119: Puppets, Humanitarian Work, and Saving Elephants with Lisa Buckley

If you've seen a movie or show with a puppet, it's very possible Lisa Buckley was involved. The professional puppeteer has worked with The Muppets, Sesame Street, Alf, Men in Black and so much more.

She's taken her puppets beyond the screen to do humanitarian aid work in impoverished countries. Focusing on adverse issues such as trauma, hygiene, and gender equality, Lisa works on the front lines of refugee camps, using customized puppets as teaching tools to better the lives of those who are caught in the crossfires of upheaval, war, and disease. She's also working with the Born Free Foundation in Kenya, creating elephant puppets to raise awareness for animal welfare and conflict.

In this episode, she's sharing some of her favorite puppet characters and how they help teach all kinds of important topics.

118: Storytelling Tips and Murder Writing with Carlos Allende

Do you ever have a recurring dream? Maybe you're always falling, and you wake up just before you smack into something. Or maybe you're like me as a child and randomly dream about fat men eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and exploding (but in a fun, cartoony way).

For Carlos Allende, a fiction writer and media scholar, his recurring dream was that he had murdered someone. And that served as the launching pad for his latest book, Coffee, Shopping, Murder, Love.

Carlos is talking about his new book, but he's also dropping plenty of knowledge on storytelling, writing, and marketing your work. And don't worry, no one actually gets murdered in this episode, so you can safely tune in.

Big thank you to Dave from Beer In Frontfor the intro! Check out his podcast after this one and learn about some tasty beverages.

116: How to Make Someone's Day with Howard H. Prager

Does it seem like the world is in particularly brutal shape right now? We’ve got violence happening across the country, politicians deciding how people should use their bodies, inflation and rising grocery prices, and oh yes, let’s not forget there’s still a pandemic going on.

Sometimes, it feels like we’re living the “this is fine” dog on fire cartoon in real life. But it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. We just need to be extra diligent about picking each other up. For Howard H. Prager, he’s made it a point to make someone’s day — each and every day.

Thankfully, Howard has compiled some fantastic stories of people making each other’s day and offers plenty of tips so you can go do the same in your neck of the woods. We’re also chatting about the Cubs World Series victory from 2016, playing tuba, and our favorite Lindt chocolates.
