Anyone who grew up as a “good kid” likely heard constant praise from the adults around them: “a delight to have in class,” “an old soul,” “so mature for their age.” Quiet, responsible, disciplined, and easygoing, these children are what many parents strive to raise—and when they succeed, both parent and child are rewarded with approval.But because these “good kids” appear so self-sufficient, few people think to check in on them. While they may seem to raise themselves, many are quietly struggling with perfectionism, overachieving, people-pleasing, and hyper-vigilance.In GOOD KIDS: Why You Suffered in Silence and How to Break the Cycle (Sheldon Press/Hachette UK; on sale 1/27/26), trauma therapist and parenting expert Maggie Nick explores how these children often grow into anxious, self-doubting adults. Through an accessible exploration of relational shame trauma, Nick reveals why “good kids” learn to bottle their emotions, seek constant approval, and fear being a burden—patterns that can persist well into adulthood.A recovering “good kid” herself, Nick understands firsthand how this pressure builds over time—and how it can be unlearned. Drawing on research and years of clinical experience counseling countless recovering “good kids,” she offers practical tools for parents and adult “good kids” alike to identify harmful patterns, break generational cycles of toxic parenting, and cultivate self-compassion, emotional safety, and authentic connection.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

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.

In the winter of 1860-61, one man, William Henry Seward, Republican Senator from New York (the presumptive favorite for the 1860 Republican nomination for president; defeated by Lincoln on the third ballot), labored mightily to effectuate his plan to save the Union. Because of history's (and historians') heavy bias to portray Lincoln as almost a saint (see, for example, Jon Meacham's “And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle” (Random House 2022)), Seward's prodigious efforts have either been ignored, given short shrift, or looked upon as something less than honorable. This short book – based upon original archival research and a comprehensive review of secondary sources – tells the story of Seward's efforts. Counter-factual history is always an iffy business. But Seward's “plan” did help to keep the Upper South States in the Union during the months before the president-elect became the president. And had his counsel been followed after March 4th, perhaps the course of American History would have played out very differently.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

The True Story of Two WWII Airmen, a Doomed Mission, and the Woman Who Bound Them TogetherInterviews Available February 2-7, and Upon Requesthttps://jancressdondi.com/ Beginning early on August 1, 1943, Operation Tidal Wave was a risky mission aimed at destroying high-octane fuel production vital to Nazi Germany.  It involved the first-ever zero-altitude air raid just 150 feet above the ground – but chances of success were ranged between 50% and suicide.  In missions to destroy fuel-rich Ploesti, Romania, 2,432 US bomber crewmen went missing, became POW's or were killed in action.   Jan Cress Dondi shares the inside story surrounding this historic mission in the new book, THE NAVIGATOR'S LETTER: The True Story of Two WWII Airmen, a Doomed Mission, and the Woman Who Bound Them Together (Union Square & Co., February 10, 2026).  The connected war stories of her uncle, John B. White, and her father, Bob Cress, are captured in the letters they both wrote to the same woman, Polley, who became Jan's mother.  Both John B. and Bob became navigators on B-24 Bombers, both flew multiple combat missions in Europe, and both were forced down over the hotly targeted oilfields of Ploesti, Romania. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In Weight Class: A Fighter's Life-or-Death Battle with an Eating Disorder (Bite Like A Man; February 17, 2026), former Olympic boxer and professional champion Danny O'Connor delivers a searing, deeply personal memoir that confronts one of sport's most overlooked crises: eating disorders in male athletes. From high school wrestling to the 2008 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team and a decade-long professional career, O'Connor lived in a world where extreme weight-cutting—starvation, dehydration, purging and physical collapse—was common practice. What began as discipline slowly became self-destruction, culminating in a public failure to make weight for a world title fight and a private medical emergency that nearly cost him his life. Told with unflinching honesty, Weight Class traces O'Connor's 20-year battle with an eating disorder fought largely in silence—hidden from coaches, fans and even family. His story challenges the misconception that eating disorders are a “female issue” and exposes how weight-regulated sports can reinforce dangerous behaviors when education and early intervention are absent. More than a sports memoir, Weight Class is a powerful account of survival and recovery. O'Connor examines the physical, mental and emotional toll of life on the scale, while also documenting the long, difficult work of reclaiming health, identity and purpose beyond competition. For parents, coaches and athletes entering weight-class sports, Weight Class serves as a necessary warning. For the millions of men and women struggling with eating disorders in silence, it offers something rarer: recognition, understanding and hope.Since retiring from professional boxing, Danny has become a leading advocate for awareness of eating disorders among men and athletes worldwide.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

The gospel-inspired love song, which was written by Galea, was co-produced by John & Oscar Lo Brutto (Wretch32, Scorcher) and has been remixed by Matt Pop & OLB, and its official music video was recently filmed on location in Central London.“Songwriter” follows the success of Galea's 5 Independent EP's starting with The Scrapbook EP (2012), Under Attack (2013), Notes From My Piano (2014) and ‘Missing Pages' (2016) which featured single ‘When You Truly Love Someone' which hit Top 10 in the Commercial Charts in 2017, which featured Celebrity Gemma Oaten in the music video. John followed up that success with his Christmas EP ' Christmas Round The Piano' (2018), scoring a Top 30 iTunes Charting track in 2019 with his Christmas song 'A Simple Christmas'. Galea followed up that success with his hit single “Hero Within You” featuring Guildhall Opera Singing Sensation Hannah Long. 2020 saw John score his first iTunes Number #1 in 2020 with his track  ‘Hero Within You' recorded with Singing sensation Hannah Long & John teamed up with Chart topping Rapper Ironik on the single ‘Don't Wanna Die' which was the first single taken from his 6th EP ‘The Art Of Collaboration'.When asked about his latest single Galea said, “‘Songwriter' was one of the longest songs I've taken to write, and probably now my favorite. It's taken literally years! I have had so many versions that have had different hooks or vibes and they just didn't feel right, then finally writing my 1st album, I sat down at my piano and the song just fell into place. The song is all about sharing whatever you have with the most special person in the world.”Galea started songwriting when he was 13 after winning a UK National Songwriting Contest with his track “I Am Not An Angel.” Following that win he started writing for artists such as Lao Ra (Jesus Made Me Bad), Thea Garrett (Frontline) & Gianluca Bezzina (Come Float Away) and more!  Around this time his track “Trendsetter” was synced on US TV. Galea has also toured the UK supporting the likes of McFly and Boyzlife, as well as performing on the main stage for London Pride, Birmingham Pride, Northern Pride, Norwich Pride, as well as the main stage on festivals like The Sundown Festival and more. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

This highly anticipated 20th installment is signature Berry, an unputdownable tale steeped in real history and locations – including a kidnapped Swedish princess, a precious medieval book with a controversial backstory, unforgettable and atmospheric locations across Stockholm and Sweden, cat-and-mouse spy games involving elite agents from the US and Russia, and so much more. When the younger sister of Sweden's King Wilhelm I is kidnapped, former Justice Department operative, Cotton Malone, is called in to quietly investigate before the public finds out. The ransom demand?  An 800-year-old book – the Codex Gigas – the largest illuminated medieval manuscript in the world that has been kept in Stockholm for nearly 400 years. Along the way it has also acquired another more mysterious moniker... The Devil's Bible. But there's a problem: to gain entrance to NATO to protect themselves from an increasingly hostile Russia, Sweden has already agreed to return the Codex Gigas to the Czech Republic to secure their holdout vote towards membership, something Russia will do anything to prevent. It's up to Cotton Malone and his associate Cassiopeia Vitt to locate the king's sister, secure the codex, thwart the Russians and most of all, diffuse what could be an explosive international situation. Trusted allies become hostile enemies, long-standing enemies suddenly shift into partners, and nothing is as it seems. In the end, Cotton and Cassiopeia come face-to-face with the unthinkable, changing both of their lives forever.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

J. Timothy Hunt, a screenwriter, novelist, journalist, and performer whose creative life has been anything but linear—and whose latest book opens the door to a deeply personal and compelling conversation your Unplugged & Uncut audience would appreciate.Timothy has worked behind the scenes and on set in film and television, crossing paths with industry icons like Viola Davis and Martin Sheen, while also building a successful writing career across journalism, fiction, screenwriting, and children's literature. But alongside the professional milestones is a much more raw story—one shaped by childhood trauma, bullying, and an eating disorder that followed him into adulthood.Those lived experiences inform his new psychological thriller, The Museum of Lies, a novel centered on memory, how it fractures, how it protects us, and how it sometimes betrays us. The book follows a man whose memories of his childhood and mother are challenged by a therapist with questionable motives, forcing him and the reader to confront an uncomfortable question: what if the story we tell ourselves isn't true, but it's the only one that keeps us standing?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In the early 1970s, playground courts across the United States were jammed with hoops buffs experimenting with showy moves and aerial shots that were changing the look and feel of a sport once stubbornly earthbound. Out of this scene emerged a pair of incomparable yet dissimilar streetball sensations both of whom would make their name in the American Basketball Association, an upstart professional league characterized as much by flamboyance as invention. Julius Erving, better known as Dr. J, became a mythical figure whose airborne acrobatics inspired an army of high-flying acolytes. Moses Malone, a down-and-dirty banger, scrambled basketball apprenticeships forever by skipping directly from high school to the pros.In the 1980s, Erving and Malone switches leagues, won MVPs, shattered records, and led their respective clubs into the playoff's championship round. But one prize eluded them: an NBA title. After suffering perennial defeat at the hands of Magic Johnson's Los Angeles Lakers and Larry Bird's Boston Celtics, the two eventually joined forces on the Philadelphia 76ers, blending their contrasting talents into a seamless whole. Together, Erving and Malone set out to accomplish what no other NBA team fronted by ex-ABA superstars had managed.An enthralling social history as well as an uplifting underdog story, Moses and the Doctor, intimately chronicles the hopes and heartbreaks of two basketball legends who revolutionized what was possible on the ground and in the air and fueled one of the most thrilling and momentous championship seasons ever.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
