In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Dr. Ronda Chervin on her book 77 Soundbytes of Love (June 7, 2023) This book is an anthology of soundbytes — 77 to be exact — drawn from almost one hundred philosophical works of Ronda Chervin written over the past half century. Why 77? It’s a number signifying the triumph of the spirit over matter and the personal freedom to pursue things of interest. That’s the goal for our readers – to set their souls free to partake in a spiritual journey to a more authentic self. Readers will engage a soundbyte a day, journaling as they go, trying to live by the spiritual truth expressed over the course of their time with it before advancing to the next soundbyte.

I’m a newer fan so not sure, but I feel like Jack has done like no media this year. Like we always get Nico post game/post practice but hardly any Jack. Is he doing less than normal? Or does Nico always just do more because he’s captain?

I'd say its probably a mix of both?

Jack Hughes did some media during the pre-season and then I believe his only regular season media has been in Prague with the infamous "shouldn't they be in school" quote about all the kids attending one of the last practices in Prague.

Fun Nico Hischier Fact: Before he even got the captaincy, he would stand up and volunteer for media. There's a quote about it here:

From my standpoint, something has changed in Nico. There has been plenty of veterans surrounding the now 21-year-old since he's been in the NHL, those who handle the tough moments in front of the media on a day-in-day out basis. That's not to say that Nico wasn't available, he was, but much like you see from Andy Greene after a tough loss, Nico is waiting in his locker stall, ready to answer the questions. Greene does this - after any loss - he waits for the media, even when the room is quite bare. It's only been a few games since Taylor Hall was traded, but I've now seen Nico step up into that role that Greene, Palmieri and Hall took on in difficult moments.

so yeah, there is kind of this element of Nico doing media because he feels its his responsibility as Captain and its a part of his role to take on the tough post-loss questions. even Jack agrees, from his 32 Thoughts interview here that its the job of the Captain:

I think [Tocchet] said it, that he did some really uncomfortable things—spoke up—once Bo left he was the guy that would talk in front of the media. Which isn't easy, I watched Nico do the same thing all those years when we were losing. Like, I'm the first guy to take my gear off, like damn that was a bad game. Nico has to sit in stall and take question he doesn't want to take and you know Quinn had to do the same thing last year.

my understanding of how post-practice/post-game media works is that there's a mix of guys volunteering to talk to media, reporters asking for specific guys because of stories they've decided to focus on, and clear cut players/moments that lend themselves to interview moments. for example, you are usually going to get interviews from guys that contributed to the win in whatever way or interviews from guys that had something happen during the game that was significant.

I'd say that although Jack has scored and is on the scoresheet for a lot of games already, he hasn't had a "game making" or "game breaking" game yet and there hasn't really been a storyline worth diving deeper into that would necessitate any media from him. Like Noesy had two goals against the Ducks, so it makes sense he's getting interviewed and Bratter scored the game tying goal that got the team to OT against the Islanders, so it makes sense he was pulled for media.

we haven't really had anything like that for Jack yet, which is not to say he isn't performing because he damn well is, but its more to say that he's just playing solid hockey, so there isn't really a reason to get him to do media. plus, we know Jack doesn't like to speak to the reporters so if there's not reason to, why would he volunteer to do so?

now with the HughesBowl incoming, I'm sure focus will now turn to Jack and Luke as thats where the storyline is and we'll get Jack media.

ref of my sona i made for art fight (and also cuz i never actually made a proper ref for myself)

Since I stopped being a fan of Taylor, I have noticed just how many legends of music just don't believe in her artistry the way some people would have you believe. Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney are the two that have actually given her something that could be considered praise, but that's standard for them with most modern artists.
