About 'Freddie vs. the Family Curse' (out May 3, 2022 via Clarion Books/Harper Collins) Freddie Ruiz is cursed. While other people may have bad days, Freddie and his family have had bad generations: from bird poop splatting on him during picture day to the many tumbles and trips that earned him the nickname Faceplant Freddie. He’s learned to lay low and keep himself out of trouble—which means no fun, no friends, and definitely no risks. But when he discovers a family heirloom, a century-old amulet from the Philippines that’s supposed to bring good fortune, Freddie thinks his luck is finally about to change. He couldn’t be more wrong. Because the spirit of Freddie’s cranky great-granduncle Ramon is trapped in the heirloom, and the evil spirits responsible for his death have returned with a vengeance. Now, Freddie and his cousin, Sharkey, have thirteen days to break the curse, or Freddie will join Ramon for an untimely afterlife in the amulet.

The Parker Edison Project podcast is back for our 3rd season. Season one was about people, stories so riveting we could just press play and let the magic shine. Season two was things, unique topics and ideas. Season 3 is places, geo-politics. The way environments, people, and power work in a continuum. I’ll introduce you to some people and eateries you should get more familiar with. Plus, we brought back our resident tastemaker King Dice for some brand new “MMSM” segments. This is the Parker Edison Project, a sonic exploration of culture as a lifestyle, where each episode starts with a thought-provoking talk and ends with a musical bang. Show Credits: Parker Edison (Host), Angela Rogan (Writer), Professor Robert A. Saunders (Show Consultant), Chris Reyes (Head Editor), Lisa Jane Morrisette (Operations Manager) and John Decker (Associate General Manager for Content)
