  • Laure Stack on Once Upon a Boy & Howie the Unusual Bear with Chris Dabbs

    Laure Stack on Once Upon a Boy & Howie the Unusual Bear with Chris Dabbs
    2026/06/04
    In this episode of Author Conversations, Chris Dabbs speaks with Laure Stack, an author and former educator whose children’s books are rooted in more than 20 years of working with young people.

    Laure discusses how her classroom experience shaped her writing, particularly the children who shut down when they believe they “can’t” do something. Her book Once Upon a Boy explores self-belief and the idea that children need encouragement to recognise their own potential.
    The conversation also looks at Howie the Unusual Bear, a story about difference, individuality and accepting children who do not fit neatly into the box. Laure explains how the character was partly inspired by her own son and by the many young people she met who needed reassurance that being different can be a strength.
    Chris and Laure also talk about The Leaf That Went on an Unexpected Road Trip, a story inspired by a real leaf on a car journey, which became a gentle way to explore fear, change and learning to trust new experiences.

    This is a warm conversation about education, childhood, imagination, nature, confidence and the importance of stories that help children feel seen.

  • Thomas Redick on Trump, Reparations, Race & Historical Justice with Chris Dabbs

    Thomas Redick on Trump, Reparations, Race & Historical Justice with Chris Dabbs
    2026/06/04
    Could Donald Trump become the president who delivers reparations for Black Americans?
    In this episode of Author Conversations, broadcaster and journalist Chris Dabbs speaks with author Thomas Redick about his controversial and provocative book Time for Trump’s Patriotic Reparations.

    The discussion explores slavery, Jim Crow laws, lynching, historical injustice and whether the United States is approaching a political tipping point on reparations. Redick argues that, despite Donald Trump’s deeply divisive reputation on race, he may uniquely be positioned to force a national conversation around compensation, accountability and historical justice.

    The conversation examines:
    🔹 The legal challenges surrounding slavery reparations
    🔹 Jim Crow, lynching and racial violence
    🔹 Why California and New York are already exploring reparations
    🔹 Historical precedents including Holocaust and Japanese-American reparations
    🔹 The politics of memory and national identity
    🔹 Whether reparations should involve money, housing, opportunity zones or systemic reform
    🔹 Why Redick believes America has delayed this conversation for decades

    This interview is not an endorsement of any political position.
    It is a journalistic discussion designed to critically examine the arguments raised in the book.
