Do you believe in resurrections?  They happen every day.  But are you willing to listen, to participate, to explore and find newer ways to understand your personal journey? This podcast isn't about what we study and see through the eyes of religion. My Boy Boy Ernie spoke with me every chance we had together.  But this isn't about resurrecting a spiritual brother of nearly 34 years.  This resurrection is that of a writing instrument. Verbal documentation of what some may call a vision quest.  Trusting the great mysteries of life.  Tools are handed to us to carve out each expectation.  This tool was laid to rest inside a forest floor.  To experience the elements of reality while connecting with a universe that unconditionally shares its stories.  But whose writing it?  Welcome to The Resurrection…Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Bound by chance and the intimacy of therapy, an old warrior and a fledgling psychiatrist test each other's true north. Miko, the precocious son of a Greek fisherman, has weathered an indecisive path to adulthood in medicine and psychiatry. . . or has he? Dormant in his soul is a muse for writing and a smoldering guilt of abandoning his father. His training trajectory finds him in Tulsa, USA, of all places, where a 2 a.m. hospital admission, the aging, drunk, and potentially violent Vietnam veteran AJ becomes the young physician's patient. A metaphysical quirk awaits them. Unwitting confidants in the quest to understand what each is missing, the two trade insights best borne from meeting the other where he is. AJ is a prisoner of the exhilarating echoes of a confusing war; Miko suppresses his own psychological turmoil while exposing that of others. A chance meeting of their wives leads to a bond kept hidden under norms of confidentiality. Each woman finds something of themselves in the other and the moxie to withstand battles in their own marriages, on their own terms. Why AJ was brought to the hospital by the police that night pits a sense of duty against self-destruction. Why was there but a single round in his Luger that night? In Passages, the author takes aim at our enigmatic humanity. Each of us is the hero in his or her own life, a contrast of magnificence and flaws, navigating the complexity of principles and barriers as best one can.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

A gripping memoir of faith, identity and the fragile line between belonging and exile—where freedom is never guaranteed, and survival depends on who dares to help you carry it: in Passport To Freedom: From Tehran To Triumph (Regalo Press; September 22, 2026), Dr. Nizam Missaghi, now in America, shares his harrowing escape from Iran as a child. Born in the United States and taken back to Iran as an infant, Nizam grew up free on paper but trapped in practice. At seven years-old when he was expelled from school for the first time in Tehran—not for misbehavior or poor grades, but for belonging to a faith the Islamic Republic refused to recognize. In post-revolutionary Iran, being Baha'i meant fractured futures: no university, no profession, no way to support a family. Yet hidden in a dresser drawer was a golden ticket: a United States passport quietly renewed every five years in secret. As adolescence gave way to urgency, Nizam had to decide whether hope was worth the risk of escape. With surveillance closing in and many doors slammed shut, he faced an unthinkable choice: remain invisible or gamble everything on a document that could save or destroy him.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

What happens when a Harvard-trained physician rethinks everything he believed about cannabis, stigma, Society's views on cannabis are evolving rapidly. Now legalized in 39 states, marijuana is increasingly making headway in the medical field, particularly amongst senior citizens. I would like to offer my client, Dr. Peter Grinspoon, a board-certified addiction specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital, as well as an Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School, to demystify medical cannabis and provide expert guidance on safe and effective use to alleviate common aging symptoms. As a credentialed primary care physician and cannabis specialist, Dr. Grinspoon addresses the "why" and "how" of cannabis use using science-backed evidence.  With sixty million Americans over sixty-five, many are seeking alternatives to often-harmful pharmaceuticals. Medical marijuana helps with multiple symptoms of aging, such as chronic pain, anxiety, and insomnia, with relatively low toxicity if used properly. In Dr. Grinspoon's upcoming book, Aging Well with Cannabis: Feel Better, Sleep Better and Live Better with Marijuana and CBD,  he helps "canna-curious' seniors, family members, and caregivers by providing practical instructions, real-life case studies, and a balanced view of the benefits and risks of cannabis and CBS.  He guides readers through the buying experience, legal considerations, and becoming a certified medical marijuana patient, emphasizing doctor-patient communication for safe and effective use.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

    Pod Crashing episode 459 with Menelek Lumumba and Hans Charles from the podcast T A Building… "The A Building," a powerful new documentary podcast that revisits one of the most extraordinary and rarely told moments in American civil rights and higher-education history-an event that changed the future of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and helped define the modern era of student protest. This is the seventh title to be released from Imagine Entertainment and iHeartMedia's slate of original iHeartPodcasts.The series tells the story of the 1969 student uprising at Morehouse College, where a group of students barricaded themselves inside the administration building-known on Historically Black Colleges and Universities campuses as "The A Building." Set against the backdrop of late-1960s America, "The A Building" explores a volatile period when student activism surged nationwide amid movements for civil rights, women's rights, labor justice, and opposition to the Vietnam War. At Morehouse, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. intensified tensions between the administration and a student body demanding an education that reflected Black history, identity and lived experience-and ultimately led students to hold members of the Board of Trustees hostage for two days demanding reforms to curriculum and improvements to student life.One of the hostages was Martin Luther King Sr., president of the Board of Trustees. One of the student organizers was Samuel L. Jackson-years before he would become one of the most celebrated figures in Hollywood. Samuel L. Jackson and his friends devised a plan to hijack a Board of Trustees meeting to create change. A heist with a purpose.Blending immersive reenactments with firsthand testimony, archival research and expert analysis, the series unfolds with the tension of a true-crime heist-one driven by moral urgency. "The A Building" examines the risks students took, the consequences they faced, and the lasting impact of their actions on Historically Black Colleges and Universities and student activism nationwide.Co-created and produced by Menelek Lumumba and Hans Charles, the podcast traces the aftermath of the protest, including the expulsion of the students involved, the escalation of political pressure, and the pivotal moment that ultimately led Samuel L. Jackson back to Morehouse-where a change in academic focus quietly set him on the path toward acting."This project has been years in the making, but it feels more relevant than ever," said Menelek Lumumba, co-creator and producer. "I'm grateful we have the opportunity to tell this story about young people who took action, and how their one act of protest continues to reverberate through all those involved over 50 years later.""  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Lady Bird Johnson's daring 1964 whistle-stop campaign and the publication of You Can't Catch Us: Lady Bird Johnson's Trailblazing 1964 Campaign Train and the Women Who Rode with Her (Sourcebooks, March 3, 2026). You Can't Catch Us is more than political history—it's a powerful testament to women-led leadership, resilience, and the pursuit of civility during turbulent times. As Schmidt deftly illustrates, this journey—"the four most dramatic days in my political life," as Lady Bird herself called it—helped redefine the role of presidential spouses and advanced the cause of women in politics. In October 1964, as the South simmered under the tensions following the signing of the Civil Rights Act three months earlier, First Lady Lady Bird Johnson boarded a specially outfitted nineteen-car train—the “Lady Bird Special”— and traversed eight Southern states. With forty-seven stops over four electrifying days and 1,682 miles behind her, she shattered the expectations of a presidential spouse with speeches, diplomacy, and palpable compassion. Shannon McKenna Schmidt shines a spotlight not just on Lady Bird's trailblazing role, but on the pioneering women who stood by her: Liz Carpenter, a trailblazing press secretary and the first East Wing staff director; Dr. Janet Travell, the first female White House physician; and legendary journalist Helen Thomas. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

A single mother at 21, Alexia balanced raising her son, Matthew, with pursuing music, even writing her first single, "Who Raised You," in his honor. She later welcomed her daughter, Harmony, while continuing to perform, record and build a following online. Supported by her partner, David, and her mother, Michelle, Alexia juggles family, music and faith, proving that perseverance, passion and love can turn obstacles into opportunity.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

A searing investigation into the child influencer industry and the perils of childhood interne fame, Like, Follow, Subscribe is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the costs of internet fame, and the ethics of online content.What is it like to grow up with a camera in your face 24/7? To have your childhood moments sold as "content" to millions online?

Through expert interviews with psychologists, labor scientists, and even former child influencers and family vloggers, she uncovers the pressures, trauma, and consequences for children thrust into the spotlight.This timely and eye-opening book doesn't just reveal the harm of toxic social media culture: it also provides a roadmap to better regulating influencer families, safeguarding children, and questioning the role of audiences in perpetuating these cycles of exploitation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Good ol' boy Randy Pearson (McKinnon) is in deep trouble. The IRS is circling. Gangsters want their money. And the only people left in his corner are his long-suffering wife (Blount) and his estranged gay twin brother. Enter Tino Armani (Goggins), a mob fixer with impeccable fashion sense, gourmet Italian tastes, and a strangely prophetic worldview. What follows is a madcap Southern caper that blends redemption, farce, and spiritual reckoning in equal measure that had critics and audiences alike praising its offbeat charm.Part shaggy-dog crime comedy, part meditation on forgiveness and grace, RANDY & THE MOB has grown into a cult favorite, especially among fans of McKinnon and Goggins' later film and television work where their fascination with flawed, spiritually searching Southern characters would continue to flourish.Directed, co-written, and co-produced by McKinnon, who also starred and starring Goggins who also co-produced, the film features an ensemble cast including Lisa Blount, Tim DeKay (Bosch: Legacy, Oppenheimer, White Collar), Bill Nunn (Sirens, Spider Man 3), Paul Ben-Victor (Nobody Wants This, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, The Chosen), and a memorable special appearance by Burt Reynolds.The Limited-Edition Collector's Edition Blu-ray of RANDY & THE MOB features more than an hour of bonus programming including THE ACCOUNTANT, and a 24-minute long "Making-of" featurette with cast & crew interviews.Here's the trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_QjL7BNnAY Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
